Arshi FF: I love you, I trust you! (Thread 2) - Page 34

"Anjali bitiya, breakfast is ready. Everyone is waiting for you", Hari Prakash said, after knocking on Anjali's door. Anjali nodded and got up from her bed. Just as she was about to step out of the room, her mobile phone rang. Anjali picked it up and said, "Hello". There was silence and suddenly a voice spoke, "Rani Sahiba.. how are you?" Anjali's eyes widened and filled with tears; a smile appeared on her face. "You… how.. ?" "Don't say anything. We need to meet. I will call you with details in an hour, ok?" Anjali smiled and said, "I miss you." The call got cut. Tears ran down Anjali's cheeks and she pressed the phone to her chest, as she burst into tears of happiness.

"Ok Papa, I will talk to you later." Priya said as she saw Anjali walk into her room. She cut the call and stood up from her bed, her eyes filled with tears. Anjali asked, "How is your mother doing?" "Thank you," Priya said, as a tear escaped her eyes. "Papa said that you made sure that Ma was moved to the best hospital in Lucknow. She is doing so much better already. I don't know how to thank…" Anjali's face remained expressionless as she interrupted Priya, "well you know how to thank me. As long as you help me, I will make sure your mother gets the best treatment possible. But if you go back on your promise.." Priya shook her head, "No.. never." Anjali smiled, "Good. Now lets go for breakfast. You know what you should do." She walked to the door. Priya started following her, but stopped as she saw the idol of Devi Maiyya on her table. I am sorry, please forgive me for what I am doing. But I have no other option.

Arnav, Akash, Nani, NK and Mami were sitting at the dining table as Priya and Anjali walked in. Anjali sat down, leaving a seat free in between her and Arnav; Priya sat down there. Arnav looked at Priya and started saying, "Priya, that is where Khushi…" He stopped, as Khushi appeared with Payal, carrying food. "It is alright, Arnavji. I will sit next to my Jiji today." Khushi said, as she placed the food on the table. She sat down, facing Arnav and next to Payal. Payal said something softly and Khushi laughed. Arnav smiled seeing the happiness on his wife's face. He stretched his hand to take a bowl of curry, but Priya took it in her hand instead. "Why don't I serve you the curry, Arnav?" Arnav looked at Khushi; their eyes met, Khushi smiled and then turned to say something to Nani. Arnav nodded and Priya poured the curry into Arnav's bowl. Arnav was disappointed that Khushi wasn't jealous, but he was happy that she trusted him.

Arnav looked at Khushi again, as he was eating. Their eyes met; Arnav pressed his lips together, as if giving her a kiss. Khushi's eyes widened and she looked around; no one seemed to have noticed. She shook her head, blushing. Arnav looked disappointed and moved his chin down towards his chest, begging her with his eyes and lips to give him a kiss. Khushi blushed and bit her lips and looked away, shyly. Priya picked up the bowl of curry and was serving herself, when Anjali moved her arm and bumped into Priya's arm. The spoon fell from her hand on Arnav, splashing the curry on his shirt. "What the.." Arnav looked at Priya angrily and was about to shout at her, when Anjali said, "Sorry, Chotte, it was my fault." Priya stared at Anjali. Anjali smiled and handed her a paper towel. "Here, Priya, wipe it off quickly before it stains." Arnav heard this and looked at Khushi. She had gotten up to help Arnav, but when she saw Priya take the paper from Anjali, she sat down again, looked at Arnav and giggled. Priya turned to Arnav to wipe off the stain. Arnav shook his head and stood up, "It's ok. I will go change".

Arnav started walking towards the stairs, stopped and turned around, "Khushi?" Khushi was just about to put a piece of puri wrapped around spiced potato in her mouth; she stopped and looked at Arnav, annoyed. "What?" Arnav raised his eyebrows, "You aren't coming?" Khushi looked confused, "Where?" Arnav folded his arms, "To help me find a shirt." Khushi gave him a fake smile. "It's in your wardrobe." She put the puri in her mouth and looked at the food on her plate. Nani looked at Khushi, then at Arnav and giggled. Payal was giggling too, NK and Akash tried to hide a smile. Arnav's face was clouded with anger. "Khushi, come with me, right now." Khushi made an annoyed face as she got up from the table and muttered under her breath, "Laad Governor won't let me eat my food in peace." Arnav smiled, "I heard that." "Good, I wanted you to hear it.", Khushi said as she followed him. Nani and Payal burst into laughter as they saw Khushi and Arnav walk away. Nani looked at Anjali, expecting to see a smile on her face, but she saw Anjali staring at her food, angrily.

"Leave me, someone might walk in." Khushi said, struggling to free herself from Arnav's grip. Arnav had removed his shirt and was watching Khushi, as she had picked out a white shirt and handed it to him. She was about to walk away, when Arnav grabbed her and pulled her towards him. Khushi looked at him, her eyebrows raised. Arnav slowly leaned in closer to her and brushed his lips against hers. She stopped struggling as she kissed him back. They pulled apart and smiled at each other. Khushi took the shirt from Arnav's hand and helped him wear it. He put his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Still smiling, she slowly buttoned his shirt, looking into his eyes. They pulled apart, when they heard a knock on the door. The door opened and Nani stepped in. "Naniji, what happened?" Khushi asked, as she turned around to look at Nani. "I have something to ask you." Nani said, looking worried. Arnav and Khushi looked at each other and walked towards her. Khushi put her hand on Nani's arm. Nani looked at her and at Arnav and said, "I want you both to stay away for a few days". "What.." Arnav started. "Anjali needs some time to heal. Seeing how much you love each other will make her miss Damadji.. I mean Shyam". Arnav shook his head saying, "But I can't stay away from Di." Khushi quickly added, "Nani, maybe I should stay away. I can go to Buaji's house. Anyways I am the reason why Di is …" Arnav interrupted her angrily, placing his hand on her arm. "No way, Khushi, you are not leaving me. Not now. Not ever. Di has everyone, but I…" He stopped, as he realized that Nani was standing next to them. Khushi looked embarrassed, Nani smiled. She said, "Arnav is right, Khushi bitiya. You don't have to stay away from him. You both should spend some time together, especially after everything that has happened. I will ask Akash and Payal whether they want to go with you too. Otherwise Anjali might understand why I am sending you both away and she might feel bad". Arnav and Khushi looked at each other, then at Nani and nodded.

Arnav, Akash and Priya walked into the dining room, discussing about work. Priya sat down in the same chair next to Anjali. Arnav looked around, he couldn't see Khushi and Payal. Everyone else was at the dining table. He took out his phone and checked his email. When he looked up, he saw Khushi walk in with Payal. Arnav smiled and walked towards Khushi, as she sat down. Before Payal could sit down next to her, Arnav said softly to Payal, "Payal, hmm.. can I sit here?" Payal smiled and nodded her head. Khushi raised her eyebrows and looked around. She saw NK and Nani smiling. Payal walked over to Akash and sat down next to him. As everyone settled down, Nani stood up and said, "I have decided to send Arnav, Akash, Khushi and Payal to Goa. They will leave first thing tomorrow morning. I have reserved two rooms at a resort there." Khushi smiled at Payal. Anjali was sitting next to Priya; she cleared her throat and Priya looked at her. Anjali tilted her head towards Nani and Priya pressed her lips together and sighed. She smiled and looked at Nani and said, "Naniji, can I go too? I have always wanted to see Goa." She looked at Arnav and said, "Can I come too? Please, Arnav!" Arnav looked at Khushi; Khushi was staring at Priya, her mouth open wide. Suddenly, NK said, "That's a great idea. I want to go too, Naniji. I have never been to Goa too.. beach.. babes.. " Arnav and Akash stared at him, shocked at what NK was saying in front of Nani. NK saw their faces and put his hand on his ear and said, "sorry, I mean babas.. in churches.." Nani looked confused. NK smiled and turned to Priya, "And I can give my dear company, while these two couples romance each other." Khushi and Payal blushed. Priya said, excitedly. "That sounds great! Nani, can we go too, please?" Nani looked at Khushi and Payal; they nodded. Nani looked at Priya and NK and said, "Ok, I will call the agent and ask him to reserve two more rooms." Anjali cleared her throat, angrily, but Priya ignored her.

"I thought you said you were going to help me." Priya was sitting on her bed, placing her clothes in a bag, as Anjali walked into the guest room. Priya looked up, confused. "I am. That's why I am going to Goa. Isn't that what you wanted me to do?" Anjali folded her arms and walked towards the bed. "Well, yes, but I want you to spend time with Arnav and not NK. If you try to go against me and jeopardize my plan.. One wrong move and you know what I am capable of". Priya threw the dress in her hand on the bed and stood up. "I know. I am tired of your threats. Yes, I know what you are capable of. I don't want to do this but you leave me no choice. So I will do what you want me to do. But I don't think I will succeed. Have you seen the way Arnav looks at Khushi? He doesn't even know that I exist". Anjali smiled, "Don't worry about that. For the time being, I just want you to make sure that no matter what happens, Khushi doesn't get to spend time with Arnav. Have I made myself clear?" Priya's face clouded with anger and she was about to say something, but she controlled her emotions; she nodded. Anjali smiled and left the room. Priya collapsed onto the bed.
