PART 25 [B]
Arnav started eating while khushi took out the pad and the pen and said
"Haan toh hum kaha se suru karenge???" [So from where should we start?]
"Hmmm I guess, pehle yeh likh lete hai ki kisko kisko contact jarurat karne ki jarurat hai…" [Hmm lets write it first, whom we have to contact.]
Khushi looked at him expectingly while he sipped his coffee and said
"Decorators , Caterars …. Aur koi ???"
"Aare full waale ko bhi bolna hai" [We have to tell the people who supply flowers.]
"Khushi who sab decorators sambhal lenge, har time ki tarah mai unhe call kar ke contract de deta hoon and they will come and do it tomorrow morning." [Khushi the decorators will do all that , lets just call them and give them the contract and they will do it tomorrow.]
"Nahi!!! "
"Huh ???" he asked cocking his eyebrow.
"Mai yeh bol rahi thi ki Akashji aur jiji chahte hai ki hum dono milkar sab kuch kare… toh phir…." [I was just telling this , that Akashji and jiji wants us to all the arrangements so..]
"Khushi hum dono milkar hi sab kar rahe hai… tum kya chahti ho mai ghar ka decoration karu ????" [Khushi we are only doing the arrangements…. And what do you want, me to decorate the house?]
"Arnav !!! maine aisa kab kaha mai toh bas yeh chahti hoon ki hum khud chalkar sab chize select kare…." [Arnav I never told like that.. I just wanted that we both should select each and everything.]
"Haan Khushi par humare pass thodi na itna time hai ki hum yeh sab karenge" [Yes Khushi but when we will do that , there is not enough time for doing all these.]
Hearing this Khushi looked at him and in a sarcastic tone said
"Arnav humare pass more than 24 ghante hai…. Aur phir tum toh ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA ho phir tumhe chinta kis baat ki…." [Arnav we have more than 24 hours and at last you are ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA , so whats the need of taking pressure.]
Arnav looked at her , repeating his lines and he took a deep breathe and said
"Ok fine , hum sab kuch karenge…" [Ok fine we will do everything.]
And with that picked up his phone and within 5 mins Aman was knocking at his cabin door.
"Ya Aman come inside."
Aman came inside and looked at Khushi and both smiled eachother and Arnav continued
"Aman listen , meri saare meetings and appointments, aaj aur kal ke liye cancel kar do, and pure staff ko kal sham Akash ke engagement ke liye invite bhi kardo ok ??? Mai aur Khushi bahar ja rahe hai.. kuch important ho toh call kar lena, and tomorrow I am not coming to office , so I hope you will manage."
He said in totally Formal tone, and Khushi actually was a bit stunned, coz few minutes back he was talking with her in a full friendly manner and now , while giving instructions to Aman , he was back to be that ASR , their BOSS.
Aman nodded and smiled and said
"Ok ASR no problem , and I know engagement ki taiyaari karni hai, mai pure staff ko invite kar dunga."
"Thanks aman" and then again that friend Arnav was back.
Khushi looked at him with full confusion and thought how he can manage two personality more or less at the same time and she came out of her thought when she heard Arnav saying
"Khushi hum 10 minute mein niklenge , so its better you go and arrange your things."
Khushi nodded and left the cabin , while she saw Akash coming towards the cabin.
Akash came inside his cabin and said
"Bhai aapne mujhe bulaya ???" [Bhai you called me ?]
"Haan Akash , listen di ne call kiya tha.. and unhone bola hai ki 6 baje tumhe Payal ko lekar ring shopping ke liye jana hai, and after that you drop her home, so don't be late and Payal ko inform kar dena ok ?" [Ya Akash , di called and told me that you have to take Payal out for ring shopping so you better go at 6 , and do call Payal once and tell her about it ok ?]
"Ok bhai par…."
"Par.. What ???" he asked looking at Akash from his laptop screen.
"Bhai aap nahi chaloge???" [Bhai will you not come with us???]
"Akash you know what tum aur Di dono same frequency pe chalet ho…. I mean what the hell will I do by going there???" [Akash you and di move on same frequency.]
"Bhai aap …"
"Aab yeh mat bolna ki aap mujhe mental support dene chalna…. " [No don't tell me that Bhai you come with me to give me mental support.]
"No Bhai mai toh bas yeh keh raha tha ki aap ring choice.."
"Akash its enough… ok…. I am not coming with you and moreover mai aur Khushi abhi bahar ja rahe hai…. So hum dono ko phir se eksath time spent karwane ke liye tumhe hume waha le jane ki jarurat nahi hai ok ???" [And moreover I and Khushi are going out now, so you guys don't have to make any more arrangements in the jewellery shop for us to spend some time.]
As soon as Akash heard it, he went to a shock mode and asked
"Bhh.. Bhaaiii.. aap.. yehh.. kya.."
"Stop it Akash… mujhe pata tha kit um aur Payal , mujhe aur Khushi ko waha kyu le gaye the… it was not for mental support, it was actually arranging a date for us, so its better you stop this stammering and do some work."
"Bhai ??? Par aapko kaise???"
"Akash mera naam ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA hai…. Aur mai aise hi world ke TOP 5 buisness man mein count nahi hota…. So its better next time kuch plan karo.. toh thoda aur effort dena, now go I have to go out with Khushi for engagement preparations."
"Ok Bhai mai chalta hoon…" and with that he literally ran out of his cabin, while Arnav smiled and got up to collect his things and came out of his cabin and said
"Khushi lets go."
Khushi nodded and came out of her cabin , while both left for the parking.
They were inside the car when Khushi asked
"Arnav hum pehle kaha jayenge???" [Arnav where will we go first?]
"Hmm lets do it with the caterer first and then we will go to the decorators.. and aur bhi tumhe jaha jana hai.. ok?"
"Ok ?"
They went to the caterers and the food department was divided. Khushi looked after the India cusine , while Arnav looked after the other things. When they were done there , they went to a restaurant and had their lunch and after that went to the decorators.
"so Khushi what will be the colour contrast ?" he asked and after thinking a bit Khushi said
"Safed aur nila …."
"What ???"
"Humara matlab BLUE AND WHITE…."
"Hmm ok that's good."
And with that they did the rest of selecting things and the decorators told that they will come at 9 am sharp and they agreed.
After doing all these things both were too tired and Arnav remembered something and said
"Khushi Akash aur Payal aapni rings kharid ne ja rahe hai… so aagar tumhe waha jana hai mai tumhe waha drop kar dunga." [Akash and Payal are going for their ring choosing , so if you want to go , I can drop you there.]
Khushi who was too tired and was literally lying on the front seat looked at him with lazy eyes and asked
"Tumhe jana hai waha???" [You wanna go there?]
Arnav turned to look at her and asked
"Huh???"
"Mera matlab tum jana chahte ho ?"
"No , if you want I can drop you , its on the way."
"Phir rehne do, mujhe bhi nahi jana hai… ghar chalet hai…" [Then let it be I too don't wanna go , lets go home] she said sleepily.
Arnav smiled and said "Ok."
The drive was a silent one , which Arnav was accustomed to, but whenever Khushi was with him , the drive always used to be full of talking , but this time the silence.
So he turned sideways to look at her , and he saw one of the most beautiful sights , Khushi was keeping her head on the window pane and was sleeping peacefully. He looked at her smiled and then again concentratedon hiss driving.
It was about 1 hour later that they reached in front of Laxmi Nagar. He parked the car and looked at her still sleeping figure and smiled.
He saw a strand of her hair,disturbing her and he slowly removed it. Her skin felt so soft under his hand , and he so wanted to feel it more but then he had to wake her up. So he slowly said
"Khushi !!"
But she was in a deep sleep , so he smiled and called her in a bit loud tone
"Khushi ???"
Khushi woke up and looked at him with full on irritation and said
"Laad Governor !!!" he laughed at her irritation but then he stopped and asked
"Hold on !!! Kya kaha tumne abhi Laad what ???" [What do you call me right now Laad what ???]
Khushi looked at him with big eyes and instantly opened her side door and jumped out of the car and said
"Laad Governor !!!" and ran towards the balcony of her house. Arnav looked at her running and smiled and said
"Laad Governor !!! hmmm…" and then drove away.
Next day morning Raizada house was in full working mode, actually not coz Naniji was busy feeding her Laxmi , Mamaji was not in the house , Mamiji was busy giving a touch up to her overdosed makeup and Anjali and Shyam… hmm…. They were busy doing some romance in their room , while akash he was busy in thinking and dreaming about his Payal ji and Mr. ASR .. haaa he was as usual stuck to his Laptop, when suddenly the door bell rang.
Hp went and opened the door to see Khushi standing there.
"Namaste Hari Prakashji"
"Namaste Khushi didi !!!"
"Sab bahut bayast honge na… itna saara kaam karna hai…" [All might be busy na.. so much work to do…]
But she got fused seeing the condition of the house. No one was doing any preparation. She went forward and did the custom of Namaste and started looking here and there and asked
"Naniji sab kaha hai??? Aur koi kuch kar kyu nahi raha hai.." [Naniji where are everybody ?? And why nobody is doing anything.]
"Khushi bitiya… aap chinta mat kijiye sab ho jayega… " [Khushi bitiya don't worry everything will be done.]
"Ji !!! aur Arnav kaha hai… mera matlab woh decorators…"
"Chote aapne karme maa hai… aap jaiye uhh se mil lijiye…" [Chote is in his room , you go and meet him]
"Ji Naniji !!! " with that Khushi smiled and went upstairs.
She knocked at his door and entered the room to see Arnav full engrossed in his work. She looked at him sadly shook her head and said
"Arnav tum yaha baithe ho ?? Abhi tak decorators kyu nahi aaye.. aur itna saara kaam hai.. kab kuch hoga… aur ghar mein bhi sab aise baithe hue hai.. jaise kuch hai hi nahi…" [Arnav you are sitting her?? The decorators have not arrived till now , so much work to be done and then everybody is sitting so lazily.]
Arnav looked at the paniced Khushi and then looked at the clock present on his wall and said
"Khushi relax…. Abhi tak 9 nahi baja hai.. and they will come at 9 and sab ho jayega… you just don't worry…"
"Sab thik se ho jayega na???" [All will be done perfectly???]
"Haan ho jayega… TRUST ME !!!"
And Khushi nodded and then the bell rang and HP shouted from downstairs
"Arnav bhaiya decorators aaye hai…." [Arnav bhaiya the decorators have come….]
And he looked at Khushi and smiled and said
"Aab chale…"
She nodded and both went downstairs.
As the theme was blue and hite so for decoration purposes, lots of Iris ad white lilies , were brought along with all the decoration items.
The men started decorating while Khushi started iving instructions and Arnav he sat down on the sofa and started watching Khushi lazily. Khushi after sometime came and sat down beside hm on the sofa and said
"Arnav mai toh inko samjhate samjhate thak gayi aut tum yaha chup chap baithe ho…" [Arnav I got tired while explaining them , and you , you are sitting here, like this.]
"Khushi mai kya karu ??? Maine tumse kaha toh tha ki unko bol denge toh who khud saara kaam kar denge but tum toh nahi.. hume khud karna hai.. aab bhugto.."[Khushi what can I do ?? I told you earlier only , lets tell them and they will do it, but you were like no we have to do it, now bear with it…]
Khushi looked at him with shock and said
"Haawww Arnav tum aisa keh bhi kaise sakte ho… chalo utho kuch kaam karo…" [Arnav how can you say like this, now get up do some work.]
And with that she pulled him with her and both of them started giving instructions .
Shyam and Anjali who were coming downwards saw this and stopped midway and anjali said
"Sach mein Khushiji sab ko kitna Khush rakh sakti hai… Chote bhi itna khush hai… smile kar rahe hai.. bahut dino baad iss chote ko dekh kar dil ko sukun mila…" [Really Khushiji can make everybody happy , see chote is smiling , seeing chote like this, makes me feel a bit relieved.]
Shyam smiled and said
"Haan Rani Saheba, Saale sahib ko khush dekhkar hume bhi bahut khushi ho rahi hai…. Aur phir humne aap se kaha tha na… Saale Sahab bhi kabhi na kabhi jarur Khush honge, unhe bhi aapne hisse ki Khushi milegi. "[Ya Rani Saheba, it feels really good to see Sale sahib this happy, and moreover once I had told you na, some day he will surely get his part of happiness.]
Anjali hearing this looked at her husband lovingly and kept her head on his shoulder and bothe went back to their rooms, without disturbing our Arnav Khushi.
After constant work of 4 hours the decoration was completed and the house was looking soo beautiful that 'Log dekhe toh dekhte hi rah jae…' . And Khushi left for her home to again come back in the evening.
Precap –
Khushi looked at Arnav and said
"Arnav tumne mere sawal ka jawab nahi diya…" [Arnav you didn't answer my question.]
Arnav looked at her and said
"Tumne bhi toh mere sawal ka jawab nahi diya aab tak, ek sawal jo maine 15 saal pehle pucha tha…." [You have also not given answer to my question , a question I have asked you 15 years ago.]
Khushi just stared at her blankly while he smiled a forced smile and with a bit of sadness in his eyes said
"Koi baat nahi… I am sure jab sahi waqt aayega.. tab tum zarur mere sawal ka jawab dogi……" [Is ok … I am sure when the correct time wil come , you will surely answer me]
And with that he turned to leave.
