CHAPTER 6. MISS.CHAM CHAM AUR RAJKUMAR KA RISHTA PAKKA
Place - Kothi at Lucknow
Anjali cutely pouted and stood in front of her Chote while her Chote just rolled his eyes and spoke up, "Di, Main jaanta hoon ki yeh puja aapne mere liye rakhwaayi hai, par main kya kar sakta hoon? AR mein problem aagayi hai aur aap Mujhe wahaan jaane nahin deti. Toh phir yahaan se hi Mujhe problem solve karna padega na? Delhi mein hota to 2 second mein problem solve bhi ho jaati. Par yahaan se solve karne mein toh time lagega na? Please Di, aap mandir jaao, main yahaan baithke kaam khatam karta hoon. Aur waise bhi maine promise kiya haina ki main raat ko aap aur main dinner date par challenge, sirf hum dono. Toh agar main abhi aapke saath aaya toh kaam shaam ko karna padega. Kya aap mere saath waqt nahin bitaana chahti?" Arnav asked his sister.
Arnav very well knew that his sister was a very good emotional blackmailer but then he was her brother and knew how to turn the tables on her. Anjali sighed dejectedly but brightened up and replied back, "Par Chote, aap toh mandir mein bhi humare saath waqt bitaa sakte haina?" Oh Shit! Arnav thought. Now what to do? Arnav wondered. Suddenly he noticed Akash was within their earshot and seemed to be listening to their conversation. Arnav smirked as he got an idea. He spoke up, "Yeh bhi sahi hai Di par aapke Chutke ka kya? Woh bhi aapka Bhai hai, aur woh toh sabse chota hai. Aapko uske saath bhi waqt bitaana chahiye, toh Mandir mein aap uske saath waqt bitaayiye aur raat ka dinner mere saath. Kyon sahi kahaan na maine Akash?"Arnav asked looking at his brother. His brother understood his tactic and being a loyal brother to Arnav, came over and said, "Haan, Bhai theek keh rahe hain. Di, aap mere saath bhi waqt bitaayiye. Mandir mein hum aur aap, shaam ko dinner bhai ke saath. Theek haina, Di?" Anjali pouted and realized that her Chote had won again. She replied with a smile, "Theek hai. Is baar aap jeet gaye par, ek din aap kisi na kisi ke saamne haaroge." To which Arnav replied, "Arnav Singh Raizada ne kabhi haar dekha hi nahi." His sister ambled off to check on the remaining members of the family. Arnav, for the first time in his whole life, was happy that AR had some problems or else he would have had to attend this puja.
Place - Khushi's House
"Haiyre! Nandkisore! Aur kitna der lagaogi, sankadevi?" shouted buaji, while Payal, Garima and Shashi who were vicinity winced and shut their eyes tightly. All four of them were standing outside their house waiting for Khushi to come. Khushi came running holding her pooja ki thaal. She was quite happy today. According to the astrologers, today was an auspicious day and anybody asking for something from Devi Maiyya would have their wish fulfilled. Khushi had announced this news to anybody and everybody in the vicinity and the whole family decided to go and visit the Mandir today. Khushi spoke up, "Hum aagaye buaji! Bas ab Mandir jaana hai aur Devi Maiyya se ek hi cheez maangni hai ki humari jiji ko ek achha sa rajkumar mile." While Khushi spoke about the virtues that the Rajkumar should have and the whole family walked towards the Mandir, Payal blushed thinking about the Rajkumar that she met yesterday. She had decided after thinking a lot that she would ask Devi Maiyya to give her one glimpse of the Rajkumar before he goes back to where he came from. (Writer says Tathaastu!)
Place - Devi Maiyya's Mandir, Lucknow
Anjali finished the Pooja, took the Prasad and signaled Chutke to help her get up. Akash and Anjali bent their head in front of the God and walked towards their family who were standing near the entrance waiting for them. They got down few steps and all decided to go sit in the shade of trees which were planted in the vicinity. After helping Anjali sit, Akash sat down beside her. He had promised that he would spend time with her and he would not back out of it. Anjali starting talking about how she was happy that the pooja finished smoothly when she noticed her Chutke was not listening to her and was staring at the steps of the Mandir which led to the entrance of the Mandir. Anjali turned towards the stairs and noticed a family of five consisting two ladies, one father and two young girls. While both the girls wore salwar kameez, one was dressed were loudly while other was dressed in subtle colour. From what Anjali could see, both the girls had natural beauty untouched by the urban lifestyle. Anjali turned back to her Chutke.
Akash was shocked. He did not know that by promising Bhai and Di to come here he would get a chance to meet her. If he had known, then he would have come and stood in the entrance from the morning. Akash felt a nudge on his side and heard a whisper, "Kya Hua?" Akash in a trance whispered back, "Meri Cham Cham aayi hai." "Cham Cham", his sister's loud voice brought him out of his thoughts. He blushed mildly as he thought of what he told his sister.
Akash remembered the promise he made to himself last evening and told Anjali about Miss. Cham Cham and his resolution of marrying her only. She smiled at him and ambled of towards Nani and Mami. Even if her Chote was not getting married, atleast there is Akash bringing home his bahu, Anajli thought giddily. After nearly another half an hour of conference between the ladies, the group of trio alongwith Mamaji and Shyam went to talk with the family of five.
Akash stared at the his family members with wide eyes hoping against hope that the decision was in his favour. Payal turned towards him and glanced at him and blushed promptly. Suddenly he noticed the girl who was standing with Payal coming towards him with his sister holding a box in her hand. She and Anjali sat beside him and Anjali introduced the girl. The girl, who turned out to be his future Saali named Khushi, spoke up teasingly, "Jijaji, mithaai khaiyiye. Aapke Cham Cham ke haaton ke bane hain." Akash blushed and went on to pick up a piece when Anjali spoke up, "Arrey! Rishta toh hone dijiye Khushiji, phir jijaji bulaayiye. Ab toh ladki dekhne dikhane ka shaam ka program baaki hain." Khushi replied, "Ladka ladki raaji hain. Parivar waale bhi raaji hain. Shaam ka dekhne dikhane ka program toh sirf ab ek faarmaality hain." Khushi nudged Akash and Anjali pinched his cheek and Akash wondered whether it was his day to do nothing but blush.
Place - Khushi's House at Lucknow
It was evening and Khushi happily helped her sister get ready as the Raizadas were about to come in half an hour to have a official program of seeing the girl. She smiled at her sister through the mirror and exclaimed, "Jiji, Aap kitni sundar lag rahi hain, Jijaji dekhte hi behosh ho jaayenge!" "Chup Badmash!", exclaimed her jiji blushingly when Amma came into the room, thrust a red coloured saree into Khushi's hand and spoke, "Ab tak tum tayyaar naahi hui Khushi bitiya? Achha hua! Ee Saadi pehenlo aaj! Kya pata unhein tum pasand aajaao aur tumre liye bhi unke nazar mein koi ladka ho, haan! Toh ab hi tayyaar ho ja bitiya, aur jaldi se, haan!" Amma walked of to living room muttering about all arrangements yet to be done and Khushi rolled her eyes and started to get ready.
Place - Arnav's Room at Kothi, Lucknow
Arnav rolled his eyes while his sister pouted sweetly. Did Di really think her antics will melt him? Arnav wondered. He typed furiously into his laptop while speaking, "Di, bas thoda kaam baaki hai." Di sighed dejectedly, "Aap jaante hain ki aapke raay kiye bina Chutke kabhi aage nahin badhte. Woh chaahte hain ki aap bhi Payal aur uske rishte ko Approval ka stamp lagaa dein. Itne toh kar sakte hain na aap Chote?"
Arnav had his work pending and his Di wanted him to come with the family to see a girl for Akash. Arnav knew that the girl liked Akash and Akash liked the girl, Akash had told him that even the families had gelled well then what's the need of his approval? He questioned in his mind. He spoke up, "Theek hai Di.Ek kaam karo aap un logon ka Address mere paas chhod do. Main ek Aadhe ghante mein ek video conference khatam karke aata hoon." Anjali huffed knowing very well this was Chote's final decision. She sighed and walked off dejectedly. Arnav shook his head. Maan had told him how his Dadima was a drama queen and should have tried her hand at theatre acting. Arnav felt like enquiring Maan's Daadi and Anjali Di if they wish to actually act in a theatre. Maan and Arnav had enough contacts between them to get them good roles! And he was sure both would be a hit!
Place - Khushi's House, Lucknow
Shashi Gupta was worried. The whole family was sitting in the living room and waiting for Raizadas but that was not the Problem for him. The Problem was that he had come across a big order which had to be delivered early morning next day. He had prepared all the sweets and packed them in the afternoon itself and they had just to be delivered. Then, what was the problem? Readers Enquire. The problem was that the customer had called up few minutes before and had asked them to send the Sweets as soon as possible and the delivery place was quite far from their house. The whole family was worried. It was a good order and if they did not deliver it, they would not only loose money but even the sweets would go waste. Suddenly Khushi got an idea. She informed her family that she would deliver the sweets herself. Buaji and Garima hesitated but Shashi realized that while rest of the four members were necessary for the event, Khushi presence was not that needed as she was neither the would be Bride nor the Bride's Parents. Her presence can be excused and if she came back fast she can still meet the Raizadas. He explained this and whole family allowed Khushi to go. Khushi in her red saree, walked off to the door with the mithaai where she met the Raizadas (minus Arnav) who were entering the house. She explained the family predicament, welcomed them, served them juice along with Garima and went to her scooter and sped off to deliver the sweets.
Place - Some few kilometres away from Kothi, Lucknow
Arnav happily checked his mail while sitting in the car. He had given the Guptas' address to the driver and was deep in his work. He was more than hour late to meet the Guptas. His family must have reached the place and even finalized the girl, Arnav thought and looked out of the window when he got a shock. He signaled the Driver to stop and got out of the car in trance.
Khushi was worried. She had to deliver the sweets and her scooter started giving problems and had stopped moving. She had dragged it to the mechanic and he told her that it will be ready in an hour. Ek ghanta, Khushi thought, she had to deliver the sweets and go back home too. She left her mithaais with the mechanic while she went to search for a rickshaw. By the time she would have delivered and come back her scooter might be ready, Khushi thought. But she could not get an rickshaw as due to auspicious day rickshaw wallahs were busy. She kept on trying to get a rickshaw when she heard a whisper behind her, "Afreen".
Arnav stood in trance. There was his Afreen waiting for a rickshaw on the main road in a red saree. Did she know that his favourite color was red? Did she know how beautiful she looked in it? She made the red color look more beautiful. The saree showed off her curves clearly and he was reminded of few lines from the same Afreen song:
Aisa Dekha Nahin Khoobsurat Koi
Jism Jaise Ajanta Ki Moorat Koi
Jism Jaise Nigaahon Pe Jaadoo Koi
Jism Nagma Koi Jism Khushboo Koi
Jism Jaise Machalti Hui Raagini
Jism Jaise Mehekti Hui Chaandni
Jism Jaise Ke Khilta Hua Ek Chaman
Jism Jaise Ki Suraj Ki Pehli Kiran
Jism Tarsha Hua Dilkasho-Dilnashin
Sandhali Sandhali Marmari Marmari
Arnav walked towards her in trance. She was looking at other side and did not notice him. He stood behind her and whispered, "Afreen."
Khushi turned and the moment she looked at him. She felt scared but did not show it to on her face. "Aap?", she enquired. Arnav came out of trance and noticed that she was waiting for a rickshaw. "Tum kahin jaa rahi ho? Kaho toh main tumhein chod doon." Arnav offered her. Khushi was at first happy that she would be reach her home soon but as she noticed his car and remembered his last night's weird behaviour, she got scared. She remembered how she had read in a gossip magazine that rich people took advantage of poor girls by giving them such helps. She shuddered. She was scared but spoke to him in a firm manner, "Nahin. Shukriya. Hum chale jaayenge." Arnav frowned. If she had been a Delhi girl, she would jumped into his car. But his Afreen was a village belle and refused him. Maybe that's why he liked her so much even if he met her only yesterday. Suddenly, a rickshaw stopped in front of her and she climbed into it. He stopped the rickshaw and spoke up, "Phir kab milogi?". Khushi was shocked at the man's behaviour. He wanted to meet her!!! She did not know what to answer him when suddenly she got an idea. She replied suppressing her grin, "Ab toh milna mushkil hai. Woh kya haina, humaari sagaai hogayi hai. Aur kuch din mein humari shaadi hai. Ladka Amreeka ka hai. To hum wahaan aap yahaan, milna mushkil hai ji. Achha hum chalte hain." She told the rickshaw wallah to move on while Arnav stood there shell-shocked. She was engaged, Arnav thought. He did not know why he was disturbed by this news. He shook his head and walked towards his car still lost in his thoughts.
Place - Khushi's House, Lucknow
By the time, Khushi reached home, the Raizadas had left. She told her ordeal to her family except about the Rakshas (Arnav) and her family informed that the rishta had been finalized and the Raizadas would call them with the engagement dates after reaching Dilli. Later on, while going to sleep, Khushi was thinking about the Rakshas. She did not know anything about him, not even his name and yet she was disturbed by his thoughts. Where did he come from? Who was he? Khushi wondered but shrugged her shoulders. She did not care about him as long as he did not bother him. And after telling him that she was engaged, he would not even think about her. Khushi happy with her plan went to sleep not knowing that she has gifted a certain Rakshas nothing but sleepless nights full of tossings and turnings.
P.S. How was Arhi's second meet? Was the song segment okay?
CHAPTER 7. KHURANAS MEET RAIZADAS AND KHUSHI REACHES DELHI
Place - Shantivan, Delhi
Anjali happily walked into her house excited to be back. She was followed by a proud Naani who was happy that atleast her one grandson is getting married. She decided that she would call up the Panditji before Akash would even think of having second thoughts.
Nani was followed by Mama and Mami, Mamaji happy with his son's marriage and Mamiji excited to become a saas and planning ways to boss Payal. At first, she was miffed that her son chose a halwai's daughter but when she came to know that Payal was a Graduate with honors in English and also had done a beautician course during one summer vacation to earn some pocket money for her and her sister, Mamiji's thinking took a u turn. She started dreaming of the day when her bahu would enter the house and teach her how to speak English and also help her look more beautiful.
Followed by the Mama-Mami duo was Shyam who was confused and kept on staring behind. The reason for his confusion was both his saale-saabs who were following him and looking totally lost in their world. He could understand why Akash was looking lost, any would be groom would look like this, but what confused Shyam was even Arnav was looking lost and disturbed. As far as Shyam knew, his wife's Chote would always be in control and alert. Why was he looking like this? Shyam wondered. He decided that he would call Maan and inform him about it. Afterall Maan was not only Shyam's client in legal world but also Anjali's best friend and Arnav's confider and mentor. Happy with a temporary solution, he walked off while his both saale-saab entered the house one lost in his Miss. Cham Cham and other lost in his Afreen. Both looked like they did not have a decent night's sleep. While Akash was happily awake and lost in Payal, Arnav was tossing and turning, the thought of his Afreen engaged torturing him mercilessly.
Place - Khushi's House, Lucknow
"Hum Dilli jaa rahe hain buaji ke saath. Is baar hum wahaan kaam karenge." Khushi announced while her whole family looked at her with wide eyes. "Haayre Nandkisore!", buaji shouted, "Kaahe? Bas dui mahine baad tumra kaalej (College) ka aakhri saal chaalu hui raha hai. Aur tumka kaam ki padi hai." Shashi stopped his wailing sister and asked Khushi, "Khushi, aisan faisla kaahe liya bitiya?" Khushi replied, "Kya Bauji aap bhi! Pichle saal jab humaara Kaalej ka pehla saal khatam hua tab garmi ki chuttiyon mein humne yahaan ke factory ke manager ke yahaan secretary ka kaam kiya tha na? Bhool gaye kya? Is liye is saal ki garmi ki chuttiyon mein hum phirse kaam karenge. Jiji bhi toh apne kaalej ke dino mein garmi ki chutiyon mein kaam karti thi. Agar aapko dukaan par inki jaroorat na hoti toh Mishra Saab toh aaj bhi inhein phirse naukri par rakhne ko tayyaar hain."
"Par Dilli kaahe bitiya? Is saal bhi tum yahaan hi kaam karlo." Garima spoke up. "Karne dijiye na." Khushi mumbled, "Kuch naya karne ko milega. Aur waise bhi ek baar Kaalej khatam hua aap toh meri shaadi karwa dogi. Phir bas pati aur ghar sambhaalo. Humein ek baar apne pairon pe khade rehna hain. Aur hum yahaan wahaan thodi na rahenge. Hum toh Buaji ke paas rahenge. Aur wahaan toh ab humaare jiji ke sasural waale bhi rehte hain. Humein kuch nahin hoga." The family of five argued a little more and finally it was agreed that Khushi would go with Buaji to Delhi. Buaji was already planning to go in the evening, but now she had Khushi as her company.
While Payal sent Khushi to start packing, Khushi felt relieved. While the things she had said to her family were true, they did not know the true reason of her going with Buaji. Yesterday night she had nothing but nightmares of Rakshas and everytime she woke up scared. She decided to get away from him and the only way to do that was to get away from Lucknow. And today morning she took the decision and the results were in front of her. She did not know that her Rakshas was in Delhi, if she had known she would have never taken such decision.
Place - Shantivan, Delhi
Maan had gotten a phone call from Shyam the same day the Raizadas reached home regarding Akash's wedding and Arnav's weird behaviour. He informed his Daadi, Dev and Naintara regarding Akash's wedding and told them that he was going to meet Arnav tomorrow as it was Sunday and both the business tycoons had a free day. Dev was happy for Akash with whom he connected a lot as both of them were the right hand of two powerful business tycoons. And Naintara was excited as she was quite fond of Anjali and she knew how much Anjali wanted her brothers to get married. Daadi smiled as she knew how much Arnav's Nani would be happy with this news and decided to go and meet her. Soon it became a family plan and after conferring with the Raizadas, it was decided that on Sunday, the Raizadas and Khuranas would meet at Shantivan for lunch.
The next day, Khuranas entered Shantivan. After the greetings were exchanged and blessings were taken, the families split into parts. Dadi and Nani got together and stared talking about the wedding and soon the discussion changed to the differences between their generation and their grandkids' generation. Soon, Mami and Mama joined them and Mami started praising her Bahu. Naintara dragged Anjali to a corner to ask her about the Akash's love story while Shyam and Dev cornered Akash and started teasing him mercilessly.
Maan and Arnav went to their usual haunt, the poolside and discussed business. Slowly the discussion turned personal with Maan telling Arnav about NT's promise and Arnav hesitantly opening up about Afreen. Maan shook his head and said, "Don't tell me you are in love." Arnav replied, "This doesn't seem like love Maan. I think it is just attraction, nothing more. As she is not here, soon it will fade away." Maan smiled but did not say anything. He knew Arnav like the back of his hand. Arnav would never accept his feelings. He thought that feelings made people weak. But Maan knew the girl's rejection affected him because even though he was not in love yet, he had gone beyond attraction. Her simplicity and naivity affected him and he was about to develop feelings for her when she mercilessly squashed them with the news of her engagement. Maan was happy, atleast Arnav was not lead on by her. She did not break his heart. She came clear before Arnav could develop affection for her.
Place - Delhi Bus Station
Khushi happily looked around while Buaji got down the bus. Khushi could not believe that she was in Dilli. She thought to herself, tomorrow first thing she would do was hunt for a Mandir of Devi Maiyya and thank her for letting her come to Dilli and also for saving her from the Rakshas and later she would start hunting for a temporary job for summer.
Place - Akash's room, Shantivan, Delhi
Akash looked at Payal's photo in his mobile. He had already turned her photo into his phone's wallpaper. He was lying on his bed after dinner but sleep refused to come. He wished the sleep would come so that he could atleast be with her, touch her, feel her, hug her in his dreams. He slowly mumbled a song:
Dil Ko Tumse Pyar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyar Hua
Main Bhi Aashiq Yaar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyar Hua
Chhaai Hai Betaabi Meri Jaan
Kaho Mein Kya Karoon
Chhaai Hai Betaabi Meri Jaan
Kaho Mein Kya Karoon
Dil Ko Tumse Pyar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyar Hua
Main Bhi Aashiq Yaar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyar Hua
Anjali walked into his room. She had heard him singing. Very few people knew that Akash loved to sing songs. He would usually team up with her cousin sis, Baby and they, as a team, always won in Antaksharis. Akash sat up and smiled at her. Anjali smiled back, closed the door and walked away. Akash looked around gloomily and lied back down again. As he turned to his left he saw Payal lying down beside him and staring at him. Akash stared at Payal and sang further:
Kho Gaya Main Khayalon Mein
Ab Neend Bhi Nahin Aankhon Mein
Karvatein Bas Badalta Hoon
Ab Jaagta Hoon Mein Raaton Mein
Ab Doori Na Sehni Har Lamha Kehta Hain
Na Jaane Haal Mera Aisa Kyon Rehta Hain
Main Deewana Tera Bangaya Jaanejaana
Main Fasaana Tera Bangaya Jaanejaana
Haseena Gori Gori Churaye Chori Chori
Churaye Dil Chori Chori Chori Chori Chori
Dil Ko Tumse Pyar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyar Hua
Main Bhi Aashiq Yaar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyar Hua
Akash closed his eyes and when he opened it Payal had vanished. He got up and looked around and noticed Payal sitting in front of Dressing table. He walked towards her sat down and put his head in her lap and sang away:
Aarzoo Hain Mere Sapnon Ki
Baitha Rahoon Teri Baahon Mein
Sirf Tu Mujhe Chaahe Ab
Itna Asar Ho Meri Aahon Mein
Tu Kehde Haske Toh
Tod Doon Main Rasmon Ko
Marke Bhi Na Bhooloon
Main Teri Kasmon Ko
Main Toh Aaya Hoon Yahaan Bas Tere Liye
Tera Tan Man Sab Hai Mere Liye
Kya Haseena Zara Samaa Hai Pyara Pyara
Gale Lagaa Le Yaara Yaara Yaara Yaara Yaara Yaara
Akash woke up with a jerk when he noticed that Payal was not there and his head was on the chair in front of the dressing table. He went and lied down on his bed and sang again:
Main Bhi Aashiq Yaar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyar Hua
Chhaai Hai Betaabi Meri Jaan
Kaho Mein Kya Karoon
Chhaai Hai Betaabi Meri Jaan
Kaho Mein Kya Karoon
Kya Karoon
Kya Karoon
Kya Karoon
And the night continued with Akash tossing and turning waiting for sleep to come and claim him to the world were his Miss. Cham Cham was waiting.

CHAPTER 8. KHUSHI MEETS DADI AND GEET ESCAPES
Place - Devi Maiyya's Mandir in Delhi
Savitri Devi came out of the Mandir with her Grandson Maan. After seeing the whole Raizada family happy for Akash, Dadi had felt a pinch in her heart. Why Maan was not getting married? She wondered. So, for pleading with the Goddess once again to give her a bahu, she had come to the temple today. Next she was planning to go to the Dargah and then to Gurudwarah and then home. Dev was busy with an important project and Naintara has been feeling ill from last evening, so she had asked Maan to come with her. After a lot of protests and excuses, Maan was emotionally blackmailed into coming with her. Suddenly, Maan got a phone call and wandered off. Dadi rolled her eyes and waited for him to come and help her getting down. She was standing at the edge of the Mandir stairs when suddenly overcome by heat she started to faint. Realising that she would fall on the stairs, she tried to call for Maan. But Maan was on the phone and Dadi realized that she might die today without seeing her Maan getting married.
Khushi excitedly climbed down the steps of the Mandir. She had met her best Friend and thanked her for saving her and now was on her way to hunt a job. How she was going to do that she did not know. Unlike Lucknow, where posters with details of job was put on every space, pillars and walls available, Delhi seemed to be a big city and their must be different way of advertising for jobs. But no problem, Khushi trusted her Devi Maiyya and knew that she would not let Khushi down. Khushi felt a strange noise come from behind her as if something had fallen down behind her. She turned around to see an old lady standing on the edge of the stairs about to faint. The noise was made by her lota which had fallen down from her hands. She climbed the stairs as fast as she could and held the lady. Luckily, Khushi had reached on the right time and the lady fainted in her arms.
Khushi dragged the lady away from the stairs when people started gathering around. She took out a bottle of water from her bag and sprinkled some water on her. Savitri Devi woke up and noticed a young girl sitting besides her worriedly looking at her. Daadi noticed that she was wearing traditional clothes and smiled at her.
As soon as the lady smiled, Khushi felt relieved. She introduced herself as Khushi and helped the lady stand up when suddenly she was pushed aside and a young man hugged the lady saying, "Dadima, aap theek toh hain?" He was dressed in such a way that anyone would think that he was here for a business deal and not for Devi's darshan. Khushi suddenly felt anger at the man. How could he leave his Dadima alone like this and wander off. What if something worse would have happened? Khushi thought.
Maan was hugging his Dadima when he felt somebody tapping his shoulder. He turned around and saw a young girl. He had seen her helping his Dadima and was about to thank her when suddenly she started shouting at him, "Aap samajhte kya hain apne aapko? Apni Dadima ko koi aise chodta hain kya? Kuch hojata toh? Aap khush kismet hain humne dekha aur unhein bacha liya. Agar hum yahaan nahin hote toh? Aap abhi Aspataal (Hospital) ke chakkar kaat rahe hote. Shakal se toh Padhe likhe lagte ho, kapde bhi dhang ke pehne hain, itni akal nahin hai aap mein? Arrey! Daadi hain, umar ho chuka hai unka, unhein akela nahin chodna chahiye, itni toh aap mein samajh honi chaahiye, na? Koi aise apni Daadi ko akele chodta hain kya?"
While Khushi went on scolding Maan, Maan at first was amused by her but soon grew angry. Only Daadi's hand on his arm stopped him from tearing into the girl for scolding Maan Singh Khurana. Meanwhile Dadi stared at the girl. The girl was not only sanskari but also can stand up to her Maan. She seemed caring also. Suddenly Daadi got an idea. She imagined Khushi dressed in a dulhan's joda scolding Maan, while Maan stood in a Sherwani looking handsome and trying to look remorseful but totally failing in it. She grinned and saw an older Khushi holding onto a baby in her hand and scolding an older Maan who was holding another baby. She came out of her daydream when Maan asked her, "Chalein?" She noticed that Khushi was glaring at Maan while Maan not wanting to create tamasha was controlling his anger.
Savitri Devi wanted to know more about the girl, so she told Maan to go ahead and asked Khushi to help her get down the remaining stairs. "Toh Bete, Humne aapko is Mandir mein kabhi nahin dekha?" Dadi enquired. Dadi was shocked when Khushi launched into a monologue non stop not even stopping to take a break. Dadi happily smiled as another idea striked her mind. From what she came to know from the girl's monologue was that she was looking for temporary job for summer vacation for secretary post and Dadi remembered how yesterday evening Maan was complaining that his secretary had suffered an accident and was confined to bed for nearly two months and how he and his work was suffering because of it.
Khushi entered her bua's home with spring in her step. The dear old Dadima she had helped was none other than the owner of one of the biggest Companies in Delhi, Khurana Constructions and Khushi was given a temporary job of secretary for her grandson's post of MD. While the said grandson had protested and spluttered, it was Daadi's final decision and she refused to back out of it. Khushi thanked her Devi Maiyya and felt excited for her new job. As her boss was going to be out of city next day, she was to join day after tomorrow. She excitedly ran into the house to inform her bua and also to call her Amma and Bauji and inform them.
Maan rolled his eyes. His Dadima has insisted that they drop the girl to her house. He knew what was going in his Dadima's head. Infact, Maan was sure she must have dreamt of his and the girl's children. While Maan was impressed by the girl and noticed that she had all the qualities he wanted in his dream girl, her antics reminded of his sister, Annie and the girl also seemed quite young and immature for his taste. He rolled his eyes again. If Daadima persisted, he would just ask the girl to tie him a Rakhi and tell his Daadi to get over with it.
Place - Hoshiarpur
Geet ran as fast as she could trying to save herself from being captured again. She had escaped by assaulting one of her kidnappers and now she was running through the jungle knowing very well that once the kidnapper woke up he would inform the other members and search for her would begin. And this time they won't leave her alive.
She reached the outskirts of Hoshiarpur when she noticed a Dhaba where a truck was parked. The truck was filled with cotton filled in gunny bags. As soon as she neared the truck, she heard the truck driver speaking about reaching Chandigarh by Morning. Chandigarh! Geet thought. There her friends will be able to help her. Yes! That's what she will do, she will go to Chandigarh and approach her friends and they will help her contact her Veere who would come and rescue her. Geet smiled happily at the thought of her cousins and climbed the truck and hid herself. The truck started in few minutes and Geet smiled. "Thank you Babaji. Aap ne Mujhe bachaliya! Veere, Mein aa rahi hoon!"
Place - Shantivan, Delhi
Anjali happily smiled into the phone and replied, "Arrey! Khushi Delhi mein hain aur humse milne nahin aayi." Arnav who was sitting nearby typing on his laptop, raised his head the moment Khushi was mentioned. Khushi! Did Di know his Khushi? Arnav wondered. Akash looking at Arnav's puzzled expression, whispered, "Payal's sister Khushi." "She is a very bindaas girl." Akash spoke again as he remembered how she had befriended him easily at the Mandir calling him JeeJu while he was the one blushing.
Payal's sister, Khushi cannot be his Afreen. Arnav thought. Because his Afreen was engaged and he knew that in small town like Lucknow the younger sister will not be allowed to get engaged before elder sister's wedding. And Akash had told him that his Saali was an extrovert while his Afreen seemed to be very timid. But Arnav wished that they were the same person and he could see his Afreen again.
Anjali kept down the phone happily. She had called up the Guptas to inform them that the engagement date has been fixed and it was in two months. But as she spoke with Garima, she came to know that Khushi, her brother's Chulbuli Saali had come to Delhi for job. She was miffed that Garima had not informed them about it. Anjali had even decided to shift Khushi to Shantivan when Garima refused stating Khushi wished to experience independency hence she is staying as paying guest to her bua. When Anjali asked that if she could help Khushi in getting job, Garima had replied that today morning Khushi had called up with news that she has already got the job.
Anjali had already taken Khushi's Bua's number from Garima and she called them up. After half an hour of talking to Khushi, Anjali put the phone down. She informed the whole family that Khushi was coming to meet them tomorrow and ambled off to Nani's room to tell Nani about it. She was already mentally making the menu for tomorrow welcome lunch for Khushi and wanted to ask Nani about it. The whole family except Arnav rejoiced at this news as they loved Khushi from the first meeting and were delighted by her cheerfulness. While Arnav looked sad wishing once again that it was his Afreen coming.
Place - Khurana Mansion, Delhi
It was evening and Maan was packing his bags when Dadima came into his room. "Maan bete, kahin jaa rahe ho?", Dadima asked. Maan smiled at his Daadima and spoke, "Dadima, Mein abhi hi Chandigarh ke liye nikal raha hoon." "Lekin meeting to kal ki hain na beta?", Daadi asked surpised. "Haan Dadima, Jeep se jaa raha hoon. Toh kal subah tak pahunchunga aur raat ko kaam khatam karke nikloonga, toh parso subah tak ghar aa jaaunga.", Maan replied while checking his bags once more. "Lekin Maan, Jeep kyon nikaal rahe ho? Chopper se jaldi pahunchoge aur jaldi aa bhi jaaoge.", Dadima said. Maan stood in front of her and replied, "Dadima, aap jaanti hain Mujhe nature se kitna pyar hai. Aur Jeep chalate hue khuli hawaaon ko mehsoos karne mein bahut mazaa hain." Dadima smiled knowing that once decided Maan will not change his decision. Maan took his bags and loaded them in his jeep and after taking Daadi's Ashirwaad drove off.
