Situation: It was one month before the Payash Wedding and the Guptas and Raizadas decided to take a small holiday to Lucknow to the Gupta's original house which Akash bought back for the family. The Guptas got there a day early so they could clean up and get the house ready for their Payalia's in-laws.
"Hume samajme nahi aa raha jiji, Akash jiju, Anjali ji, Nani, etc. ke liye humne humare rooms gawa diye lekin iss LG ke liye hume humara room hi milatha! Aur koi zaroorat nahi hai unhe HUMARE hi room main tarane ke liye."
"Khushi, samja karo. Woh mere hone-wale jeth ji hai."
"Aah haa, woh apke jet aur hum aap ke kuch nahi. Aur hum inke liye ye nayi chadar kyun rakh rahe hai? Waise hi pesh ate hai jaise hum hai."
"Pagli! Tu tab samje gi jab tumhare sasural wale ayenge ghar main. Tab tum ek choti si bhi uch-nich se darogi. Tab tum unka kamra kitne pyar se sajaogi."
unka kamra? unka kamra hum nahi sajeyenge to aur kaun sajayega? idea!
"Jiji, ab, tum ye sab chod do hum karte hai." she said almost shoving payal out of her room.
"Hum karte hai na!" she said as she closed the door and locked it. She leaned against it saying "Ab kaise bachoge LG!" and with that she giggled and planned away her mischiefs.
~~~~The Raizada Parivar Arrives~~~~
After all the elders do their traditional talk "Ap ka ghar bohot sundar hai." "Ji Shukriya." "Arre Payal tum bohot sunder lagat rahe ho" Payash blushing and other "idhar udher ki baten"
Khushi greeted Arnav with a weird smile.
She was smiling so happily, Arnav was freeked out.
"Tum teek to ho na?" He said checking if she had a fever.
"Chalo hato ji. Aise baat mat kariye, hume kuch kuch hota hai." Khushi said in a filmy style. Arnav with his eyebrow raised. "What the..." Khushi turned her back to Arnav and hid her laugh.
~~~After Dinner~~~
Everyone was being led to their rooms.
Garima, "Hum Arnav bitwa ko unka kamra dikhawat hai. Chalo Arnav babuwa."
"NAHI" khushi said a bit too loudly.
"Mera matlab, Ma apko kitne sare kaam hai." She looked at Arnav and started smiling weirdly and blinking rapidly "Hum inko unka kamra dikhate hai."
Arnav raised his eyebrow again and looked at Khushi as if she's lost it.
~~~At Arnav/Khushi's Room~~~
"Ye! Aapka kumra hai." Khushi said as she opened the door grandly.
Arnav looked around. "Yeh bohot khubsurat hai. Isme jo rehta hoga woh bhi kitna khubsurat hoga." He said amazed by the simplicity of the room yet it's ability to captivate someone's attention.
Khushi cleared her throat bringing Arnav back to earth.
"Yeh MERA room hai!" She almost shouted.
"What!" Arnav shouted. He blushed remembering what he said moments ago.
"Itna bhi acha nahi hai," he said trying to cover up.
Khushi was irritated but looked at him and smiled weirdly again.
"Enjoy your stay." She said as she closed the door leaving Arnav alone to all the KKG antics he had yet to witness.
Arnav opened the cupboard to put his clothes in and a bunch of stuffed animals and toys fall on him causing him to fall down. Khushi who is witnessing this from the small creek of the door holds back her laugh.
"Oh titaliya!!!"
Oh how Khushi wanted to watch the rest of the show but she left anyways.
Arnav on the other hand was confused as to what to do with all these stuffed animals he decided to put them in a small corner of the room and grabbed a few things at once. He got to Khushi's photo album which Khushi probably accidently stuffed in there. He flipped through the pages caressing each and everyone of them. He held the one of her dressed as a dulhan close to his heart. She was probably 16 at the time trying on her mum's shadi ka joda for fun. She looked heavenly. He kept the album on the side table.
He decided to go take a shower and all went smooth until he decided he wanted some hot water with the cold and when he turned the hot water knob a little a huge gush of cold water came hitting him. He shook his head like a dog would to dry himself. He got out of the shower and put some clothes on. It was getting increasingly hot in the room. He checked the thermostat, it said 23 degrees but it sure didnt feel like it. [someone tampered with the main thermostat.] He turned on the tv and sat on the sofa to relax but he as soon as he jumped into the sofa he heards bunch of sounds. He lifted the sofa cover to find that it was filled with papads. Arnav decided to open a window tried to open it but inturn found his hand stuck to the window. Ugh! He somehow managed to pull his hand out of the glue and went to the bathroom to wash his hand. He turned the faucet on very cautiously. God knows what else this KKG has done! He thought.
Meanwhile. Khushi was done with all her work and figured it was time to pull the biggest prank. She quickly rushed into Arnav's room and hid in the large closet. She waited there since she wanted to see the big prank with her own eyes. She was next to one of Arnav's suits and saw a glossy piece of paper fall out. It was a picture of Khushi from the photo shoot. Why did he have this with him?
Before she could think further she heard Arnav comeout of the bathroom. He was increasingly sweating so he took his shirt off. Khushi was enjoying the view and blushing at the sametime. Arnav got a phone call from work and took it. He was continuously talking until he heard a knock.
It was Anjali.
Anjali snatched the phone from his hand and told him that this was called a holiday for a reason.
The temperature all of a sudden began to decrease. [Mind-blowing Khushi! Kya kam kardeti! Oh ho too good! Khushi thought to herself as she praised herself.]
"Uggh its like the temp. is having mood swings!" He said as he walked towards the closet to grab a sweater.
"When I get my hands on you KKG!" He said as he opened the door. Khushi closed her eyes innocently hoping she would not be seen but she was.
"KHUSHI!"
Khushi looked at him and came out of the closet.
"What the hell?"
"Um actually, woh."
"Khushi! Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?"
"Hum cuboard check karne aye the." *fake checks the cuboard by knocking on it* "Sab teek hai. Hum chalte hai." She said trying to make a quick escape.
He grabbed her dupatta.
"Not so fast."
He turned her to face him.
"You know Khushi, there were many problems I faced here. Like mood-changing
temperatures, papad-filled couches, cold water explosions, and much more. Would you know anything about them?" He asked with an eyebrow up. He smiled looking at Khushi's confusion.
"Hume kuch pata hai."
"Toh phir mujhe papad ke saath tumhara ye pom-pom kyun mila?"
"Kya? Humne toh woh karte samay pom-pom wali dress pehni bhi nahi thi!" She exclaimed and then bit her tongue noticing what she's just confessed.
"Khushi, you've been a bad girl. I think you deserve a punishment," he said as he moved towards her.
He looked up at her with a naughty smile.
