Bua ji pushed Khushi out of the way and stepped inside the house. Placing her suitcase on the floor she turned around to face Khushi.
"Arey oh! Sanka Devi who is this hottie?"
Khushi jumped at the mention.
"Mohan yeh Mohan hai Bua ji" Khushi's tongue slipped.
"Excuse me" Snapped Arnav
"Mohan, eh Mohan kuan hai" interrogated bua ji raising her brow.
"I am her boss'" but before Arnav could finish Khushi jumped in
"Boss's driver, he means he is my Boss's driver. He is only here to drop off some office papers." Khushi tried to cover up.
Arnav was amused now, he crossed his arms in front of him and narrowed his eyes.
"Oh! Really" he commented cynically.
Bua ji however was not convinced. She went close to Khushi and began to whisper in her ear
"Such a handsome driver no? Look at his abs" she said pointing towards Arnav. To which Khushi rolled her eyes, how typical of her Bua ji.
Bua ji was very unconventional in her ways and in many ways almost like Khushi. She was one odd egg in this family and though she was sixty her heart was only sixteen.
"So does this Mohan have digits? She questioned naughtily .
Arnav smirked amused by the duo as he overheard Bua ji's loud whisper. He began to realize where Khushi had inherited the mad gene. It seems to run in the family.
Arnav looked at his watch and realized why he was here.
"Khushi hurry up, I am getting late."
Khushi turned around and looked at Bua ji.
"Umm Bua ji I have to run somewhere, I promise I will explain when I am back."
"But where you going dressed in that?" she question pointing at Khushi's Bridal wear.
"Wedding.." said Arnav but Khushi jumped in nudging Arnav in the stomach. "Ouch"
"Party'. Wedding party of our Boss. Our Boss got married today. And the dress code is bridal wear."
"Well that's odd? How will you tell the Bride and groom apart from the crowd." Bua ji rose her hand to her temples.
"Yeah..its weird Bua ji, our Boss is crazy" she spat staring at Arnav to which he smirked rolling his eyes.
Khushi gave Bua ji a peck on the cheek, "Bua ji Priya will be home soon, and I will see you soon"
Khushi rushed out the room pulling Arnav along.
"Bye Mohan" Bau ji waved as Arnav hurled along with Khushi.
"Is she always like this? Questioned Arnav.
"You don't want to know. There is a reason why we have to change cities every year. She can be so embarrassing sometimes." Whined Khushi jumping in the car.
"so why didn't you tell her the truth?"
"ARE YOU MAD" she screamed causing Arnav to cover his ears.
"I must be or else I would have learned to stay away from you" he mumbled to himself.
*******
Arnav and Khushi sat in the hall room of the Raizada mansion surrounded by the entire clan. All seem to be in immediate need of medical attention. They were not to be blamed given the back to back heart attacks the family had been given by the two.
"I am sorry Di I didn't want to make it such a big deal. We are married now so you all should be happy" he suggested.
Arnav nudged Khushi and gestured with his eyes for her to say something.
Khushi immediately fell to Anjali's feet who jumped in shock. she picked her off the floor and held her by the shoulder.
"Forgive us Di, Its all Arnav Ji's fault" to which Arnav Jumped and Khushi did not fail to notice.
"I mean he is just so lovable. I mean we are just in love Di, and Love is stupid. We just couldn't be separated from each other Di."
Anjali teared up looking that two "love birds".
"Oh! Come here you two." She engulfed them both into a hug.
"Its Ok! We understand" exclaimed Nani ji following Anjali's cue.
"I knew these two would something like this the minute I see their chemistry" approved Mami ji.
Arnav took a sigh of relief that they all bought it.
After Dinner everyone was ready to retire to there room.
"Khushi ji" called out Anjali
"You must be tired and hot in that dress why don't you go and change"
"Yeah you are right Di, I think I should head back home now" she replied casually
"Home..this is your home Khushi ji"
"WHAT?" yelled Khushi
"Come let me show you your room Khushi ji"
"My room?" she questioned
"Yes Chotte's room is all yours now"
Khushi gulped hard and dragged herself behind Anjali and walked inside the room. Anjali brought her a sari
"Here Khushi Ji wear this" She walked out closing the door behind.
Khushi now sat on the edge of the king size bed. She looked around the huge room, taking in every detail. Her heart was racing. She broke into cold sweats realizing the severity of what she had gotten herself into. She needed to get out of here, but before that she needed to get out of the stupid lehnga that was making her even more anxious and hot.
She looked at the sari in her hand and opened it up and began to stare at its length.
"It was ridiculously long piece of fabric that she would never figure out, however she had no option. Her lehnga was getting on her nerves. Khushi pulled the dori of her coli and suddenly the bedroom door opened.
