PART TWO:Infernal love
Khushi struggled with her saree,despite all the hundreds of pins keeping it in place,she could not seem to get the hang of carrying it off with ease.
Why can't I just wear my salwar suits...tch...this being a married woman is altering my style...she thought, as an idea of adding pom poms to her pallu came to her mind, making her smile.
She stepped quickly up the stairs to her room, to fix the falling pallu back in place.
Standing before the mirror, she unpinned the cloth from her shoulder,pricking herself, as she let out a small cry of pain.
Arnav enters the room from behind,and yelled,"Can you stop screaming Khushi Kumari Guu...er...Khushi".He realised she was not Gupta any longer, so could not announce her name like that any more...hmmm...ab Raizada is still ajeeb on his tongue...Khushi Raizada...?How would that sound in anger?
"How can I ever expect any mercy from you, can't you see I have poked myself with this stupid pin,trying to wear this stupid si saree properly!"
She looked in the mirror trying to get a look at the pricked shoulder,but aware that Arnav was in the room and might see it too...she stood at an angle, to cover his vision."Arnavji,look away," Khushi commanded.
Their eyes met in the reflection as he quickly looked away,"What the...This is my room and I will not do anything to make things comfortable...you go somewhere else for your first aid activities".
Khushi scowled at him and left to ask Payal for help. Not finding Payal in her room she decided to manage on her own and then head down to the kitchen.
At the kitchen, Nani was preparing food to be distributed to the poor people outside the temple.Khushi stepped in cautiously as she knew Mamiji would not like her presence.
She stood and watched as her dear sister assisted them in the preparations.Khushi was so proud of her responsible and capable sister.She prayed quietly that atleast she would be whole heartedly accepted by the Raizada Family.
"I wonder if damaadji is free to help us take this to the temple?I guess I will need to make arrangements before any of them leaves."
Arnav walks towards Nani , his strong quick stride increasing Khushi's heart beat.
"Nani I am off to work.I will be busy today, and may be late...please call me at the office ONLY if it is important.I have an important project and no time to waste on any household talk...so please no unnecessary calls."
Khushi gave him a pointed look, thinking that his words seemed to indirectly attack her...as if she ever made any unnecessary calls to such a hot tempered husband.
"Okay Chote,then I guess I will send damaadji to the temple with the food.I had wanted one of you to help, but you carry on"
"Khushi, you can accompany Anjali and Shyam to give them a hand...the crowds maybe hard to handle for Anjali bitiya...you can distribute it along with Shyam"
Arnav was stumped at the sudden twist of events...he could not now suddenly offer to go after making such grand statements of being in a crazy hurry. So he simply lingered around the living area watching Shyam's every move, warning him with a lethal gaze ..."STAY AWAY"
"Arnav...aren't you going? You must always reach on time when going for some good work,bituva...go go...get moving"
Arnav stared at Khushi and Shyam..."Yes Nani...and if everything stays in the place it should stay,then things go smoothly too."
Khushi muttered to herself,"God knows what this Lord Governor talks!Only he understands himself...crazy man...what a silly response to what nani said...uff...now this new musibat of going to the temple with this devil...sigh...what a day God help me!"
