Thanks for the review!
Yes, Geet telling Maan was a relief for me too. Or else you guys would have killed me for dragging it.
About Maan proposing in style, I had decided not to put it but as you are my favorite reviewer I changed few scenes and now there will be a beautiful proposal! Another wish to be fulfilled!
About Arnav, I can say only one thing, Arnav the driver! He he he!!!
Sorry to disappoint you, but Raizadas are not going to know about Arnav's alternate job till the whole story is over! Hey, maybe I can write a one shot on it or something!
You want Arhi to meet in morning, hmmm! Will think about it!
I am glad that you found Arnav's thoughts funny! Was hoping for that!
If Khushi marries Gopikishan, Arnav will first kill Gopi and then Buaji for suggesting the rishta and then he will scold Khushi for choosing Gopi over him and then give lectures to her about her stupidity!
About your wish to see Arnav get jealous, don't worry it will be there. Will make sure of that! But all after the big twist!
Thanks for the review!

this is truly amazing yar seriously i love arhi and maneet and u wrote a FF on both of them?? unbelievable im so happy😃😃
there are few things which i adored of this FF:
1) there is no hate between arhi and maneet but still the story is not boring. even without the hate factor the story is so mesmerizing and interesting👏
2) also the typical villian i.e. shyam and naintara are positive which added a unique touch😛
3) you have not only focused on arhi and maneet relation but also focused on arnav-maan, khushi-geet, khushi-maan and arnav-geet😃
4) you have also focused on other characters like anjali-shyam, payal-akash, dev-naintara and annie-arjun👏
5) and lastly the names you selected for khushi and geet by thier respective deewanas are so sweet😆
Afreen and Soni👏
please i dont want to miss out such an amazing story so include me in your buddy list and please PM me when you update..i will be waiting😊
Thanks for the review!
And welcome to my FF!
I am so happy that you like my work so much! I hope I can keep on entertaining you!
I have added you in my buddies and will PM you when I update!
Even I love Arhi and Maaneet both. As I could choose one between them I went for both.
I went through the reasons about why liked my FF so much and was really happy to read it. I always wanted to see a good Shyam and NT so I wrote them myself. You see in real life we never face such evil people, it is only circumstances that create problems and I decided to show that. I also wanted to see how Maan and Arnav would have been as friends so wrote that too. Maan helps Arnav control his aggressive attitude and Arnav helps Maan loosen up. Plus they both are supports. In the real show, Maan and Arnav both don't have any confider with whom they can share their problems. Here, they have each other.
About the supporting characters, I always believe that the supporting characters help shape the main leads and many decisions are taken by the leads due to the supporting characters. So I gave them some screen time too. And every scene is important for the story too.
About your third point, I am happy that you enjoyed Khushi-Geet, Arnav-Maan, Khushi-Maan and Arnav-Geet scenes. Really happy to read that!
About the nicknames, I found it cute but was not sure how it would be received. Happy to hear that you liked it.
Thanks for the review, once again! And please review the new chapter too!

CHAPTER 44. SWEET LAILA AND ANGRY HEER!
Place - Maan's room at Khurana Mansion
It was a beautiful Thursday morning. Maan walked into his room after taking shower only to stop in his tracks. There spread on his bed was his clothes. He grinned like a fool. Soni ne mere liye kapde nikaalke rakhe! He wondered whether she wore the dress he had chosen too. He shook his head with a smile and changed his clothes. As he picked up the tie chosen by Soni he looked at the tie surprisingly. It was red colored. Earlier whenever Soni chose his tie it was always black colored. Then why red today? Maan wondered. He got his answer when a paper fluttered from the bed to the floor. He picked it up and read it. 'Agar aapko safed pasand hain toh mujhe laal!' He raised his eyebrow in appreciation. Have to remember when I want to gift her something!
As Maan started tying his tie, Geet sauntered into the room. He looked at her and smiled, she smiled back. "Kuch kaam tha?", he asked her. She smirked and replied, "Aap hi toh kehte hai na ki main achchi tie baandhti hoon, bas toh baandhne aagayi." He nodded his head and looked at her from head to toe. He had chosen a maroon colored churidaar for her and she had worn it. He gave her a sweet smile and she came close to him. He smirked as he remembered what he dreamed of doing when she would tie his tie. She took the tie from his hands and started to tie it. As she came close to him he sneaked his hands around her waist and pulled her close. Geet sucked her breath in sharply. They were so close that even air could not pass between them. She could feel his whole body pressed into her and she was sure he could feel hers too. She realized this was what he meant when he used to ask her to tie his tie. Majnu kahin ke! Par main bhi aapki laila hoon! She acted as if he did not affect her at all and focused on tying the tie.
Maan raised an eyebrow as he realized that Geet was not reacting to his touch. Oh! So you are challenging Maan Singh Khurana! Let's see! He started moving his thumbs on her waist in small circles and she flinched. Maan smirked, oh yes, I saw you react! But she refused to look at his face and solely concentrated on tying the tie. He kept on moving his thumb and she kept on flinching and writhing under his touch. Maan was enjoying this session of romance with her. As soon as the tie was tied, Geet stepped back and looked down. Maan assumed she was blushing. But Geet shocked Maan by giggling. Soon, the giggles turned into full blown laughter. She pressed her hands to her mouth and her whole body shook due to laughter. Maan looked at her in shock. Why was she laughing? "Tum has kyun rahi ho?", Maan spoke looking at her in bafflement. "Woh aapki", Geet mumbled but went back to laughing. After having another bout of laughing, Geet explained in between laughs, "Woh …Woh aapki….aapki ungliyaan kamar pe……kamar pe gudgudi kar rahi thi." And she went back to laughing. Maan slapped his forehead. Here he thought she was flinching due to the feelings his fingers evoke in her body and there she was just feeling ticklish. Gayi Bhains paani mein! Saare romance ka satyanaash! Maan Bete, you have to work harder on romance portion. He shook his head while Geet walked off to make more parathas for her dear devar!
Sudden ringing of phone brought Maan out of his thoughts. He checked the caller id and picked up the call, " Haan Arnav, bolo." "Need a favour, Maan!", came Arnav's nervous voice. Maan raised an eyebrow. Ise kya hogaya? "Ya shoot!" "Aaa….umm.." "Out with it, Arnav. Is everything alright?" "Woh Maan …. aaj Khushi ko ….. ummm …. half day …. mil sakta hai kya? I want to take her out. Can you relieve her at 3?" Maan looked at the phone in shock. Arnav! Asking this? "All okay? Phirse Khushi ka dil dukhaaya kya? Look Arnav now you should know that Khushi is not alone. She has two powerful brothers to protect her. So don't fight with her, alright?" "Do bhai?", Arnav's voice seemed confused. Maan laughed and spoke up, "Tumhaari Khushi ne mujhe aur Dev ko apna bhai bana diya. Now you are dating not a village girl but Maan Singh Khurana's sister, so be careful." "Dating?", Arnav spluttered. Maan laughed again, "Toh tum dono ki daily meeting ko aur kya naam doon?" "Woh ….. Maan ….. Woh ….. Di … a … Di bula rahi hai…", Arnav stuttered across the phone and Maan rolled his eyes. "Shut up Arnav, I was just teasing you. Relax! Go take her! But don't make her angry or upset, get that!" "Thanks dude!", Maan could actually feel Arnav taking a deep breath. "Before you cut the phone I got news for you. ", Maan spoke across the phone. Arnav replied, "What?" "You remember Soni, the girl staying at my house. We got to know her true name." Maan narrated the whole story to Arnav who seemed shocked at the tale. As Maan concluded the saga, Arnav spoke up, "Wow! Can't believe the tale man! And you are in love with her! Sweet! Di ko pata chala that you are in love she will be very happy." "No! Don't tell her. I want to tell her face to face when I get the time. If I can't meet her then Angel Dear ko Akash ki sagaai mein Soni se direct mila doonga." "Fine! But I want to meet her too. Pata toh chale Mr. Businessman ko Lover boy banaaya kisne." Maan rolled his eyes. "Waise, what is her true name?", Arnav asked. "Woh …. Gee", Before Maan could say the name Arnav cut him off. "I think I am getting another call. Wait let me check." After few seconds, Arnav came back on line, "Aaa…. Dude… woh … umm" "Let me guess, Khushi ka phone hai.", Maan spoke in a deadpanned voice. "Yeah!", Arnav replied in a sheepish voice. "Talk to her and remember don't hurt her or anger her.", Maan threatened in a fake angry voice. "Yes boss!", Arnav spoke in boisterous voice. Maan shook his head. It seemed Khushi has brought back the old naughty Arnav. As he cut the phone, he smirked at his friend. Yeh bhi gaya pyaar mein! Babaji bichaare par meher karna!
Place - Arnav's Room at Shantivan
Arnav picked up the call and before he could speak Khushi spoke, "Aaj aap mil rahe hain na? Aapne mujhe maaf kiya na? Ya kal bas aise hi bol rahe the? Dekhiye hum sach mein aapko naaraaz nahi karna chaahte the! Please kahiye na aapne maaf kiya! Please please! Aap kuch bolte kyun nahi?" "Tum bolne do toh kuch bolun." "Aaa …. aaa … toh …. toh boliye na. Humne kab manaa kiya, boliye!", came Khushi's indignant voice. Arnav rolled his eyes. "Maine Maan se baat kar li. He is relieving you at 3. I will pick you up from there. Ok?" "Kya?", came Khushi's shocked voice. "Aapne chutti bhi maangli. Hey Devi Maiyya!" Arnav shook his head, "Ab yeh tumhaari Devi Maiyya beech mein kahaa se aa gayi. Dekho sweetheart, I am coming to pick you up. We are going to spend some time together, get that!" "Kya kahaa aapne, sweetheart?", came Khushi's voice. Arnav smirked. "Toh aur kya bulaaun? If you have any other preference, do tell me!" "Nahi …. Woh ….. hum …. Kuch nahi!" Arnav replied back, "Waise Miss. Afreen, maine kahaa I will pick you up aur tumne sirf sweetheart pe dhyaan diya?" "Woh …. Hum …" Arnav was laughing silently. "Ok, relax. I will pick you up……… ok sweetheart!" He smirked as he heard Khushi squeak. That was it! Arnav lost his battle against laughter. As he cut the phone Arnav laughed wholeheartly. Anjali who was passing by stopped in her steps and entered the room in shock. Her Chote stood by the window laughing happily. Her eyes filled with tears. After so many days she was seeing her Chote so happy. But what was the reason behind his humour? Humein toh kuch bataayenge nahi humaare Chote! Kisi aur se pata karna padega! Shayad Maan Saab bataa dein! Lagta hai Maan Saab se baat karni padegi.
Place - Laximnagar
Khushi sat on the bed in shock. Yeh Arnavji ko kya hogaya? Humein sweetheart kehne lage! Hey Devi Maiyya! Aur saath mein waqt bitaayenge!! Yeh kya keh rahe the? Arnavji ko ho kya gaya hai? Kadve karele se meethi jalebi kab se ban gaye? Ek baar Geetji ne Raanjha kya keh diya yeh toh sach much mein Raanjha ban gaye! Hey Devi Maiyya! Humein kuch samajh nahi aa raha!
Place - Khurana Constructions
It was 2 in the afternoon when a certain pregnant lady named Anjali Jha marched into KC premises asking for Maan Singh Khurana. Pinky called up Khushi, MK Sir's secretary who was shocked when she came to know that the person here to meet her Boss was her sister's future sister-in-law Anjali Jha.
"Anjaliji!", Anjali was sitting on a sofa in the waiting room of the company when she heard a familiar voice calling her. "Anjaliji!" She looked up to see Khushiji coming towards her. She got up slowly as fast movements were not allowed in her state. As soon as she got up she was engulfed in Khushi's hug. "Anjaliji aap yahaan?", Khushi was pleasantly surprised to see Anjaliji here. "Haan! Hum iss company ke owner Maan Singh Khurana ke school ke dost hain. Unse milne aaye hain. Hum hamesha unhein ghar par hi milte hain par baat urgent hai isliye aaj pehli baar unke Office aaye hain. Par aap yahaan kaise?" "Arre! Anjaliji hum toh MK Sir ki Secretary hain. Humne kaha tha na ki humein do mahine ke liye temporary naukri mili hai. Bas hum yahin kaam karte hain." Both the ladies chit chatted for few minutes and Khushi dragged Anjali to sit on her seat while she checked if Maan was free. After checking Maan's schedule and informing Maan of Anjali's arrival, Khushi escorted Anjali to Maan's cabin where Maan met Anjali with a hug.
"Kaisi ho Angel Dear?", Maan asked with a smile. Half of the staff who was watching the conversation was shocked to see Maan smile while many ladies swooned as their MK sir seemed more handsome while smiling. Anjali entered Maan's cabin and sat on his seat. She swung the revolving chair around and replied, "Hum toh theek hain par aapse naaraaz hain." She pouted to add drama to her dialogue. Maan shook his head. And the drama queen begins her drama! Bichaare Arnav, Dev and Shyam! They have to be with her daily! Poora din kaise jhelte hain isse! He sat in the seat across the table and replied, "And why is my Angel Dear angry?" Anjali sighed, "Aap humse milne nahi aate, Maan Saab!" "Angel, you know I don't like that nickname, right!" "Phir aapko bhi pata hoga that I don't like Angel Dear either, right!", replied an indignant Anjali. "Touche!", Maan smirked. "Waise Angel Dear, you looking very beautiful today. Pregnancy suits you.", Maan replied with a smile. Anjali narrowed her eyes. "Maska mat lagaao Maan Saab!" Maan smiled at her but she did not smile back. Maan sighed. She was still angry with him. He got up from the chair, kneeled in front of her and held his earsin his hands, "Sorry! Kya AD apne MS ko maaf nahi karegi?" He added puppy dog eyes on his expression for good measure. Anjali huffed but smiled softly. "Jaao maaf kiya! Par phirse humein bhoolna nahi! Get that?", Anjali shook her finger at him. Maan nodded solemnly and mock saluted. Anjali giggled and Maan smiled, happy that her smile was restored back. "Waise how are you here? Your bodyguards did not stop you from coming here alone?", asked Maan. "Bodyguards?", Anjali got confused. "Haan! Chote, Chutke and Pati Dev!" "Maan!", Anjali admonished but had a smile on her face. "Woh kya haina! Unhein nahi pata hum yahaan aaye hain!", Anjali winked at him and giggled. Maan shook his head. Anjali will remain Anjali! "Aapko kya lagta hai, Maan! Un mein se ek ko bhi pata chalta toh kya hum yahaan aa paate! Shyamji kehte 'Jaane ki kya jaroorat hai Rani Sahiba, Phone pe hi baat karlijiye' aur Chote toh seedha video conference karwa dete! Aur humein aapse aamne saamne baat karni thi! Aur Chutke toh humaare saath hi aa jaate aur humein akela nahi chodte aur humein aapse akele mein baat karni hai!", Anjali's tone seemed indignant. "Bodyguards ki pehre daari mein mazaa nahi aa raha na!", Maan teased her. "Mazaa! Humein toh saans lene ke liye bhi ijaazat lagti hai.", Anjali complained but both knew that Anjali was just exaggerating.
"Achcha bataao! Yahaan aana kaise hua?", Maan reminded Anjali. "Arre haan! Aaj subah humne Chote ko dekha! Akele mein has rahe the! Aur kuch dino se muskuraate bhi hain. Humein unki chinta ho rahi hain!" Maan raised an eyebrow. He remembered that today morning; Arnav must have spoken to Khushi! Maan smirked. No wonder he was laughing. After all with Khushi Arnav turned into the naughty boy he was before his parents' death. But he cannot tell this to Angel or else she might interfere in this love story and Arnav might withdraw back into his shell. "Angel I don't understand this! First you complained that your brother never smiled and now tum keh rahi ho that he smiles these days! Hasa toh problem nahi hasaa toh problem!", Maan spoke and Anjali shook her head. "Aisi baat nahi hai Maan! Hum bas pareshaan hai!" He walked by her, bent down and held her shoulders. He looked into her eyes and spoke, "Dekho Angel, jo ho raha hai, hone do! Bhagwan pe bharosa haina! Toh bas no more worries." Anjali nodded and got up. Maan helped her up and hugged her. "Hum chalte hain, Maan! Der ho rahi hai! Aur thodi der rukte toh poora raizada parivar humein dhoondte aa jayega!" She smiled and Maan smiled back. She walked to the door but before she opened it she turned around and spoke, "Waise aapki secretary ke computer mein dekha humne; aapka schedule toh bahut busy hai. Itna kaam achchi baat nahi hai, Maan Saab!", Anjali teased. "Haan! Baat toh sahi par kaam nahi karoonga toh ghar jaana padega! Aur ghar jaake karoonga kya!", Maan replied. Anjali smirked, "Isliye toh hum kehte hain ki shaadi kar lijiye! Par aap hain ki sunte hi nahi! Aapse chote Akash hai aur unki shaadi ho rahi hai aur aap kunwaare ke kunwaare! Achchi baat nahi hai Maan Saab! Kaho toh aapke liye bhi ek ladki dhoondh doon!", Anjali had a teasing tone. Maan replied in a teasing tone, "Woh sab dekhne ki jaroorat nahi! Maine dekhli! Tum bas engagement pe aajaao." Maan turned around and sat on his seat. Anjali's eyes widened. She left the door and walked back towards him. Maan schooled his expression to neutral though he wanted to smile at his best friend's reacion. She took the seat in front of him. "Kya kaha aapne?" "Tumne suna nahi. Toh phir se keh deta hoon. Very soon your best friend is going to get engaged.", Maan smirked as Anjali looked at him shocked. "Aap mazaak kar rahe hain na!", Anjali spoke and Maan shook his head. "NO! Main mazaak nahi kar raha hoon! I won't be a bachelor anymore. Bahut jald tumhaara best friend shaadi shuda kehlaayega!", Maan spoke sheepishly and Anjali smiled excitedly. "Before you ask, it is love marriage and she is staying at my house. Bahut jald Dadi sagaai ki date nikaalne waali hain. Aur tum Soni se Akash ke sagaai ke din milogi." Anjali put her hands on her hips and asked, "Ohhh! Toh uska naam Soni hain?" Maan rolled his eyes at her teasing tone. Anjali giggled happily. "Pakka milwaaoge?" "Haan! Pakka!" Anjali got up and hugged him again. Soon, she left the cabin and Maan sighed. Kab yeh din khatam hoga aur kab main tumse miloonga Soni!
Anjali walked out of the cabin and was about to walk out of the office when an idea struck her. She walked into Khushi's cabin, "Khushiji?" "Arre! Anjaliji! Aayiye!" Anjali walked in and sat in front of Khushi. "Khushiji, Humein ek idea soojhi hai. Aap ko toh pata hi hoga ki kal hum, Nani, Mami, Payalji aur Akash, Payalji ki anghooti ki shopping karne aur gehne lene jaa rahe hain!" Khushi nodded. Her Amma had informed her about it in the morning when she was getting ready. Naniji had called up and asked for Payal to come with them for shopping the next day as they wanted to make sure that the ring for Payal was of her taste and size. Also Nani had wanted to buy some jewellery for new bahu for shagun purpose and wanted it to be of Payal and Akash's taste. Amma had agreed and the shopping excursion was planned. Anjali continued, "Toh hum soch rahe the ki kyun na aap bhi aajaayein. Woh kya haina Nani toh Payalji ke liye gehne dekhne mein busy rahengi aur Payalji aur Akash ek doosre mein busy rahenge. Mamiji bhi gehno ki shaukeen hai toh woh toh yeh mauka chodengi nahi. In sab mein hum akele pad jaayenge. Bore ho jaayenge. Toh aap bhi aayiye na. Shyamji ko kaam hai varna woh humein jaroor company dete. Par woh nahi hai toh aap aayiye na!" Anjali' voice had taken a pleading tone and Khushi's heart melted. She smiled at Anjali and agreed. "Waise Payalji ko toh hum pick up kar lenge par aap toh direct Office se aayengi na! Toh hum aapko address sms kar denge. Aur directions bhi sms kar denge taaki agar rickshaw waale ko jagah nahi maaloom toh aap directions de dijiyega!" Khushi nodded. Both ladies talked a bit. Soon Anjali's eyes turned towards the clock and she gasped. The time was 2:45 PM. "Arre! Dekhiye Khushiji baaton baaton mein kitna waqt beet gaya. Humein chalna chaahiye. Hum chalte hain!" Both ladies said their farewells, hugged each other and Anjali walked away. Khushi happily went back to her work when it struck her. Arre! Arnavji ne humein teen baje milne ko kahaa tha! Aur hum toh bhool hi gaye! Achcha hua humein waqt pe yaad aaya warna Arnavji toh pakka raakshas mein baddal jaate aur ghusse se laal peele ho jaate! She started to pack her bag.
Place - Outside Khurana Constructions
Arnav looked at the time. Its was 2:45 PM. Soon Afreen will come out and we will spend some time together, Arnav thought. He had cleared his evening work schedule for her and now was waiting for her outside her Office; he was feeling giddy with anticipation. He got down from his car and walked towards the Office. Might as well wait in the Office lobby! As he walked towards the KC company he went through his blackberry checking the messages making sure that there is nothing urgent pending.
"Chote?", he heard a voice calling and he stopped in shock. Di aur yahaan? He gulped. Oh shit! He could feel his forehead sweating. He raised his eyes from his blackberry and stared at the vision in front of him. There stood his sister with her hands on her hips. Arnav swallowed again. What was she doing here? Kahin Di ko sab kuch pata toh nahi chala? His eyes widened in shock. No! This is not possible. Agar Di ko pata chala toh Khushi ko bhi pata chal jaayega. Aur sach jaankar agar Khushi naaraaz ho gayi toh! No! Nahi! Suddenly, he was brought out of his thoughts by Anjali, "Tum aagaye humaare peeche peeche! Humna tumse, Chutke se aur Shyamji se tang aa chuke hain. Aap log humein kahin jaane hi nahi dete. Hum kahin bhi jaayein bas peeche peeche aa jaate hain. Maan Saab sahi kehte hain ki aap teeno humaare bodyguard ban chuke hain. Bas haath mein ek ek bandook ki kami hain. Lekin aap log ka kuch bharosa nahin. Kal se shaayad woh bhi leke chalenge." As his sister continued to scold him, he heaved a sigh of relief. So his sister did not know the truth. She thought that he was here because she had come here alone. Suddenly, it struck him that his sister had come here alone and not even informed any one of them. What if something had happened? Arnav felt anger bubble in his chest alongwith worry as he realised that his sister endangered her and her kid's life by travelling alone. As Anjali ended her complaining for having bodyguards for husband and brothers, Arnav spoke, "Aapki daat khatam ho gayi toh ghar chalein?" Anjali pouted as she realised that her Chote was angry with her. Arnav walked swiftly to his car and Anjali followed him. He called up Akash and Shyam explaining what his sister had done. Anjali sat in the car and sighed. Her brothers and Shyamji are going to scold her and even poor Nani and Mami who had promised to cover for her will also get scolded. She messaged her Nani and Mami informing them about what had happened. She glanced out of the window miserably as she realised that the family men will guard her more strictly and any more sneaking out will not be allowed.
Arnav rolled his eyes as he heard his sister sigh. Drama queen! Ghar chalo phir aapko, Nani aur Mami ko main dekhta hoon! As Arnav fumed in anger he forgot that certain Khushi Kumari Gupta was waiting for him and he will not remember it till it is too late.
Place - Arnav's Room at Shantivan
"Pick up the phone, dammit!", mumbled Arnav as he redialled Khushi's number fourth time. But as with first three calls, Khushi disconnected the call. He sighed miserably. Now what to do? How to appease his dear Afreen?
By the time Arnav and Anjali had reached home, Akash and Shyam were on the way too. Soon, Akash and Shyam reached home and together with Arnav blasted Nani, Anjali and Mami for letting Anjali get out of home alone and without informing them. She was eight months pregnant, was due in four weeks and with the complications mentioned by doctor and Anjali's weak health, the Raizada brothers and their Jijaji had turned paranoid when it came to Anjali. They finally calmed down only after Nani mentioned that Anjali had gone to visit Maan and she was sure that after them it was Maan who cared a lot for her. After the episode was over Arnav remembered that he had promised Afreen that they would meet at 3 PM. But before he could get out of the house, Akash mentioned how Arnav had his whole evening off and even Akash and Shyam had cancelled all evening meetings while coming home. Next thing he knew Anjali squealed claiming that she wanted to spend time with her brothers and husband. Poor Arnav! By the time he could extract himself from his sister's clutches and sneak away to his room it was already 5 in the evening and his mobile had atleast 15 missed calls from Khushi. When he called her back she had gone into histrionics about how she was worried about him and kaise kaise khayaal aa rahe the humaare mann mein! When he explained to her calmly that he had some work and he could not come, he had thought that Khushi would understand his predicament and will forgive him. How wrong he was! She had understood his problem that was for sure! But what she could not understand was why he could not just call her or just send an SMS instead of making her worry so much. To this he had no reply and foolishly he said that he forgot! And that was it! The bomb named Khushi Kumari Gupta blasted at ASR with full on anger with words used like selfish, self centered, khudgarz, raakshas, you don't care about me and etc. etc. Poor Arnav! He tried to say sorry only to hear a sound coming from the phone which meant that Khushi had disconnected the phone! And hence we come to present where a certain Arnav Singh Raizada tried calling his dear Afreen while the said Afreen kept on disconnecting his call. After dozens of call, he got the message that she had switched off the phone.
Arnav sat on his bed and put his head on his hands. Ab kya karoon? Kaise manaaun tumhein Afreen?
Place - Khushi's room at Laxminagar
Khushi switched off the phone and glared at it as if it was the phone's fault that Arnav had forgotten about their meet. Kal bade keh rahe the ki milne ko waqt nahi hai aur ab dekho humein hi bhool gaye! Jaayiye Arnavji! Hum nahi baat karte aapse! Aap bahut hi bure ho! Khushi knew that she was behaving too childish and it was possible that Anrav must have gotten busy. She knew that he was a business man and hence remained really busy. But his yesterday's tantrum fuelled her anger and she refused to let go of it. She sighed as she remembered how worried she was when the time was 3:30 and Arnav had yet to come. Her overimaginative brain supplied with her with many horrible scenarios all of which ended with Arnav being in hospital. She still remembered how fast her heart had beaten when he had finally called her up. Aur call bhi kiya toh kya kehte hai. Kaam tha samjha karo! Khaakh samjhenge hum! Kya sirf aap hi nakhre dikha sakte hain! Nahi Arnavji hum bhi aap hi ki Afreen hai! Hum bhi aapko tevar dikhaayenge!
It was half an hour later when Khushi finally decided to switch on the phone. She had decided that she had tortured her Arnavji enough and now if he asked for forgiveness she will forgive him happily. She waited for few minutes; he will call her now! But soon the minutes built up but there was no call from Arnavji! Her happiness turned into sadness and soon morphed into anger! Bas itni hi kadar hai aapko humaari Arnavji! Humne thode der kya phone bandh kardi aapne toh humein manaana hi chod diya! Very bad, Arnavji! Very bad! Ab toh hum aapko itni aasaani se kabhi maaf nahi karenge! She pouted sadly and looked towards her Devi Maiyya's idol! Humne toh suna tha Devi Maiyya ki pyaar karne waale toh kabhi haar maante nahi! Yeh Arnavji toh itne mein haar maan gaye! Just as she started to wallow in disappointment the bell rang. Her parents, Buaji and Payal Jiji had gone of to the goldsmith to get their jewelleries polished leaving no one in the house. She trudged to the door and opened it. Their stood a delivery man with a small box in his hand. He claimed to come from AR Industries and asked for Khushi Kumaari Gupta. After assuring him that she was Khushi she took the parcel, closed the door and opened the box. As soon as she got a look at the contents she almost dropped the box in delight. The box was filled to brim with nothing but Jalebis. She took one piece and bit into it. As her mouth filled with syrup she moaned in delight.
After gobbling up almost one fourth of the contents of the box, she noticed a note tucked into the crook of the box. She knew that coming from AR the gift was from Arnav as an offering for forgiveness. She happily forgave him but eagerly opened the note. She read the letter once and her forehead scrunched up in confusion, she read it twice but still the confusion was not gone. After reading few more times, she picked up the phone and called up Arnav. As soon as Arnav picked up the phone, he asked her, "Did you like the gift? Ab toh mujhe maaf kar diya na?" She nodded happily and slapped her forehead as she realized that he could not see her. "Haan! Arnavji humne aapko maaf kar diya! Par yaad rakhiyega phir se aapne humein bhula diya toh anjaam achcha nahi hoga!", she threatened him. "Oh really!!!", he drawled, "Kyun tum kya karogi?" Khushi bit her finger in confusion. What will she do? She smiled as an idea struck her. "Hum aapse milne nahi aayenge!" "Fine! Toh mat milo!", Arnav replied. "Kya?", Khushi spoke in shock. Arnav replied non chalantly, "Haan! Tum mat milo! Main milne aata hoon tumhaare ghar! Tumse bhi miloonga aur tumhaare family se bhi! Chalega? Main aaun?" "Nahi!!!!", Khushi squealed. She soon heard Arnav laughing at her and she pouted. She looked at the note in her hand and again she felt confusion. "Arnavji, ek baat toh bataayiye." "Haan bolo!", his voice still had the trace of laughter. "Yeh aapne is khat mein likha kya hai?" "What? What do you mean is mein likha kya hai? Is mein saaf saaf likha hai ki I am sorry. And I will never forget you again. Please forgive me. Ab itna sa bhi tumhein samajh nahi aaya?" She rolled her eyes. "Samajh mein tab aaye na Arnavji jab aapki likhaavat samajh mein aaye. Lagta hai jaise mungiyaan rang ke bottle se utarkar paper par chal rahi ho. Arnavji itne bade businessman ho, apni handwriting nahi sudhaar sakte." "What?", she heard Arnav roar. She controlled her urge to laugh and spoke, "School ya kaalej (college) mein aapko jyaada marks nahi milte honge na!" "Kyun?", Arnav asked in a puzzled voice. Khushi replied in a trasing tone,"Arnavji! Aapki handwriting agar aapki teacher ko samajh aaye tab woh aapko marks degi na! Kya likha hai yahi samajh nahi aaya toh….! Sach bataayiye na Arnavji, aap fail hote hote bache honge na!" "Khushi!", Arnav roared and Khushi giggled. Soon her giggles turned into full blown laughter and after saying "Achcha hum phone rakhte hain!" she kept the phone. In another few minutes another one fourth of the box filled with jalebis were also demolished.
Place - Khurana Mansion
Maan entered the house loosening his tie and feeling very tired. Today the meeting had dragged on so long that it was 10:30 by the time he reached his car. He glanced at his watch and noticed that it was almost eleven. The lights of the house were already switched off and he was sure that all the servants and family members must have gone to sleep. He walked towards the kitchen with the intent of getting some food from the fridge when the lights of the hall lit up and he noticed Geet standing by the switch board. She smiled at him, "Aap aagaye?" He smiled back and nodded. She came closer and took the bag from his hand and placed it on the sofa. She came back and took his hand in hers. The whole time he stared at her movements. She dragged him by the dining table and made him sit. "Tum abhi tak soyi nahi?", he asked her. She shook her head. "Aapke aane ka intezaar kar rahi thi." Maan felt warmth spread from his chest. After so many years some one was waiting for him. Earlier, Dadima used to wait for him but as she aged he convinced her to sleep early. Then came NT who after her marriage tend to wait for both the brothers but when Dev started coming early and Maan tended to be late he convinced NT to care for his brother and not for him. He looked at Geet with wonder on his face. Was this what his Dadi meant when she asked him to get married and get someone to care for him? He shook his head. As Geet served him, he felt happy that there was someone to take care of him. For years he took care of others and now it was his turn to be taken care of. He caught Geet's hand, "Tumne khaaya?" She shook her head. He already had anticipated the answer. He smiled and made her sit beside him. As he served her, he noticed that she had made his favorite pasta. He remembered how she had made it first time and how he had shouted at her. He banished the memories from his head and decided to make new memories with her. He picked up the fork filled with pasta and took it towards Geet's mouth. She looked at him questioningly and he smiled at her. She ate a bite, took the fork from his hand and fed him.
NT walked down the stairs. Her water jug had emptied and she planned to go to kitchen to fill it. As she walked past the dining table, she smirked as she noticed the two love birds eating by feeding each other. She decided to leave them alone and went into the kitchen. Few minutes later when she came out she saw the love birds again and her mind could not stop itself from being mischievous. She smirked and walked by them. Geet noticed her and blushed and looked below. Maan looked at her and straightened himself. NT noticed that both seemed embarrassed that they were seen by her in a private moment. But NT being NT could not resist herself and walked towards them. "Arre! Geet! Pasta aise nahi khilaate!", she spoke and Geet looked at her questioningly. "Toh phir?", Get mumbled and NT smirked. She grabbed Geet's shoulders and made her stand up and turned her in an angle and pushed her. Geet landed directly on Maan's lap. In shock, Geet grabbed Maan's shirt while Maan wrapped his hands around Geet's waist. Maan was about to shout at NT when NT smirked and spoke, "Pyaar karne waale aise ek doosre ko khana khilaate hain, Geet!" Geet looked down in embarrassment while Maan raised an eyebrow. NT looked at Maan and could not resist teasing him too, "Love marriage hone waali hai aapki Maan Veerji! Ab toh romantic ban jaao." Even Maan was embarrassed now and NT skipped away from there happily.
As soon as NT walked away, Geet tried to get up but Maan refused to loosen up his hold. "Maan?", Geet mumbled and Maan smirked. "Waise NT ka khilaane ka style bura bhi nahi hai. Infact I like it." Geet's eyes widened and she tried to push his hands away from her waist. "Jaan!", Maan whispered and Geet stilled her actions. "Par Maan..", her protests were cut off as Maan fed her the pasta. She blushed and continued eating.
