CHAPTER ONE
NAA JAO SAAIYAN
She hardly saw her husband for the past few weeks and couldn't remember when she last had a decent conversation with him. He was just too busy.
In the mornings, he would get up late while she had to be up and early for morning aarti and household stuff that needed to be completed and of course cater to the family's breakfast and meals.
But Arnav had been so caught up in his work, that Khushi wondered ruefully, whether he remembered that he was no longer a bachelor and had a wife waiting at home for him.Shaking her head to get rid of such melancholy thoughts, Khushi switched off the bedroom lights and keeping the night lamp switched on, she resigned herself to sleep.
She didn't even realise when Arnav came home and slept next to her.
In the morning, Khushi got up late, having stayed up till midnight waiting for Arnav to come, resulting in her rushing about getting ready for the morning aarti. Hence, she did not have time to even glance at her sleeping husband. Flustered at being late for the aarti, she almost ran down the stairs to find that Naniji, Mamiji, Payal and Anjalidi all had already gathered for the morning aarti in the mandir and were waiting for her.
"Sorry"she mumbled softly, eyes downcast and face apologetic. "So, Chotey came home late yesterday,as well,haan Khushi betiya ?" asked Naniji looking at Khushi's downcast face.
"Ji,Naniji" replied Khushi in low voice. "Hmm." Naniji said looking sympathetically at Khushi and shaking her head indicating her displeasure at Arnav's behavior.
"Khushibhabhi, put your foot down and scold him "said Anjali, limping towards her and patting her cheek."You have been letting him get away easily with his ridiculous behavior for the past few weeks."
"Yes, I do, bhabhi" smiled Anjali, hugging Khushi "But isn't family more important than work? Chotey needs to get his priorities fixed"
"She is absolutely right, phatti sari" said Mamiji, joining the chorus. "Hamara Arnavbitwa is acting likes bachleorwa, nat marriagewa"
"Ok, ok, Lets discuss this later and begin the aarti. Its already getting late" said Naniji, changing the topic cleverly, looking at Khushi's sad face.
The family completed aarti and was gathered around the table for the breakfast when Arnav walked down the stairs, ready to leave for work.
Khushi and Payal walked in from the kitchen with trays filled with breakfast items and both began serving everyone.
"Arnavji" said Khushi, smiling at him. "Khushi, I am a bit busy. I will have breakfast in office with Aakash. Bye.Come on Aakash, we are getting late" said Arnav looking at Aakash, not even sparing a glance in Khushi's direction. Aakash went and silently mumbled his apology for skipping breakfast to Payal and walked behind Arnav.
Both the brothers walked out of the door with Khushi staring sadly at Arnav's retreating back.
" But Arnavji, I had made your favorite Aloo Puri for breakfast today"mumbled Khushi to herself. Payal patted Khushi's hand sympathetically.
Naniji, Mamiji and Anjali looked sadly at Khushi and then each other, deciding to take matters in their hands before things went completely out of control.
