Part 3

Khushi was pacing in her room in anger and talking to herself loudly. "What does he think of himself? Insulting me in public like that? He didn't even let me speak! What else can you expect from a person named Nannav?"

"Are you even listening to me Lavanya?" Khushi stood before the bed on which Lavanya now sat with her legs folded, typing constantly on her Blackberry.

"Yes Khushi I am listening" she answered distracted with a big smile on her face, her eyes glued to her phone screen. Khushi snatched the phone from Lavanya's hand and looked at the screen

"Nand Kishore? Since when did you become religious?"

Lavanya took her phone back and corrected Khushi "It is NK"

"Who is this NK that I am not aware off?" Khushi knew Lavanya since she had arrived at her school in the USA, becoming friends immediately. Khushi knew each and every person connected to Lavanya. In fact her family considered Lavanya as their second daughter, hence she came to India with them.

"I met him today" she looked at her with a sheepish grin.

"I am with you since you woke up today. Who is this mystery guy?"

"Remember the accident guy? Yeah that one!"

"His name is Nannav not NK and why the heck are you chatting with my enemy?" Khushi was fuming in anger now at her best friend.

"No not that one. The other one, with chips and a cute dimple"

"That crunch crunch?" Khushi asked disgusted.

"Don't call him that ok? While you two were busy fighting, he was being extremely sweet to me. Giving me one chip then eating one himself, then giving me one chip and then eating one himself…" Lavanya went in a different time altogether. Khushi had to shake her to bring her back to reality.

"How come you have his number?"

"We exchanged our numbers, simple" going back to typing, the moment her phone buzzed.

Khushi was shocked at Lavanya's behavior. How could she just exchange her number with a complete stranger! She went back to her pacing, as if that would pacify her. She came to a sudden stop and snapped her fingers.

"Lavanya ask NK for Nannav's number"

"Why"

"You are my friend. Don't question me. Question that NK now" Khushi said in threatening voice.

"Ok"

After a minute Lavanya spoke "He is asking why do you want the number?"

"Tell him I want to apologise for my today's behavior"

"Really Chamkili?"

"Shut up and get the number"

"Take down the number" Lavanya dictated the number after some time and Khushi left the room. She switched on her laptop and made an advertisement.

Number ***************

She took out ten printouts and handed them to her house help and instructed him to send these to 10 different photocopy shops to get multiple copies and then hire people to distribute it in the area.

"Khushi baby yeh kya hai?"

"Duniya ki bhalaayi" Khushi said with a wide smile.

She waited for 2 hours and then decided to call up Nannav. She tried his number but couldn't connect to it. Did he turn off his phone? She came back to her room and found Lavanya sleeping on the bed on her stomach, her legs crossing and un-crossing in the air.

"Lavanya ask NK for a different number where I can reach him NOW!"

"Ok Chamkili" Lavanya said after a while "See this is his office cabin number. Take it"

Khushi took the number, left the room and dialed. After speaking to him, she disconnected the call, making sure that he didn't get a chance to speak this time and went to her room again.

Nannav incident was already forgotten when she opened her wardrobe and dragged Lavanya off the bed. "Help me select a dress. I am meeting them after 15 long years and I have nothing to wear!"

Lavanya typed the last message from her phone and helped her friend.

Arnav was very excited to meet the Guptas. Although the Chamkili incident had made him upset, but the thought of meeting them, her, had made him forget about it all. He was thinking how Khushi would look like now. She was so plump when she was young. He used to call her gol gappa. Anyone would be that plump after eating all those jalebies. Jalebies! I will get jalebies for her. I am sure she will like it. With a distant look in his eyes and a small smile on his face, he left the office and got inside his car, picking jalebies on his way to home.

The Guptas arrived at Shantivan, anticipation dripping from their faces. Naniji opened the door to welcome the Guptas. All the faces broke in to smiles and happy tears at the sight of each other. Mama hugged Shashi while Nani embraced Garima. Buaji and Mami joined their hands in a Namaste. Khushi stood there watching the elders meet. The Raizadas and the Guptas bonded back immediately. Anjali Di came around the elders to her. Khushi rushed to Anjali at her sight and gave her a tight hug. Anjali hugged her back, broke the hug and looked at her from head to toe.

"Nani, Khushi is so beautiful na?"

Nani turned around to look at Khushi after wiping her tears. She placed her palm over Khushi's head and said "Indeed she is beautiful and you still are obsessed about long hair." Khushi blushed at all the compliments that she received. Khushi looked up and her eyes met a woman's eyes she did not recognize. Khushi stepped away from Anjali and went towards that woman. She extended her hand and said with a pleasant smile on her face "I am Khushi. Who are you?"

"I am Payal"

"Payal who?"

"She is her Akashji's wife" Anjali giggled.

"Akash Bhaiji's wife? Bhabhi? He married? He can talk to a woman? And even get married?" Khushi started her chatter. Payal laughed at the bubbly girl before her. "It is so nice to meet you Khushi. Since we have received the news of your arrival, I have been constantly hearing about your family and especially you"

"Sach? How sweet? Who told you what about me? Tell me. Tell me?"

"Khushi bitya you never spoke so much. Time has definitely changed. Where is that quite girl who would cry at the drop of a hat?"

"Nani…" Khushi pouted.

"Come inside" Nani led them to the living room and everyone settled down. Khushi's eyes were frantically looking around the house in search of Arnav.

"Arnav will come later Khushi" Anjali informed Khushi. Khushi nodded and wondered will he be as skinny as before and could she call him 'kankaal' as she used to before.

"By the way there is a pool in our house" Anjali said with a smile.

"Pool!" Khushi jumped. She composed herself and asked "You still remember Di?"

"How can I forget the only fond memories that I have of our childhood?" Anjali's eyes had teared up and so had others. Khushi hugged Anjali and cried. Nobody stopped them from crying, each one wiping the tears flowing down their cheeks.

Anjali wiped her tears and told Khushi "I will take you to the pool"

"No Di. You stay here, I will go myself. Just give me the directions. Like Sheesh Mahal this is also my house, right Nani?"

"Haan bitya. This is your house. Go wherever you want"

"Thank you Nani"

Khushi ran upstairs and followed Anjali's directions perfectly, stopping right at the edge of the pool.

Arnav arrived with his laptop bag in one hand and a pack of jalebies in the other, his jacket drapped over his arms. Hari Prakash took the laptop bag and coat from Arnav's hand. When he extended his hand to take the pack of jalebies, Arnav shook his head in refusal. He came to the living room and found an old Shashi uncle and Garima aunty and even older Buaji.

They stood up the moment they saw him. Arnav went to Garima first, the memories of his mother and Garima aunty sitting on the swing in the gardens of Sheesh Mahal chatting flashed through his head. He then hugged Shashi uncle, his guide. If Arnav ever had any problems, he never went to his father. He always went to Shashi uncle. Shashi held him by his shoulders and looked at him from head to toe. "Garima Arnav has turned in to such a handsome man!" Shashi said with pride.

"Babua has become so tall!" Buaji admired him. Arnav hugged Buaji and asked "Uncle?"

"Babua, he got tired of me and went back to God to complain about me" Buaji laughed half heartedly. Arnav hugged Buaji again. He looked around searching for Khushi.

"Khushi is at the pool side Chotay!" Anjali informed him "I will go and call her"

"Let it be Di. I will go and meet her" Arnav controlled himself from running to his room where the poolside was. He stepped in to his room, kept the pack of jalebies on the table and peered at the poolside. Khushi stood with her back to him. He noticed her long hair flowing in the breeze. She hasn't cut her hair yet? Arnav thought. He thought to call out her name but then decided against it. He remembered how jumpy she was when she was young. He crept behind her slowly. Her one foot was just touching the water, as if testing its temperature.

With Khushi came back Arnav's mischief and he whispered very close to her ear "Hi"

Khushi got so startled that she fell in the pool. She pushed herself out and wiped the water from her face. She turned around and came face to face with "Nannav?" she said with anger

"Chamkili?" he said with clenched teeth.

"Arnav?" she asked tentatively

"Khushi?" he said disbelievingly.
