Chapter 11 :

As Khushi was going inside, La called her,

"Khushii, Your tiffin!"

Khushi almost forgot about the tiffin. She got towards La's car and grabbed it.

"Thanks ! By the way, where did you find it? And, does it seems so light ?", she asked. La dumbstruck now. She didn't knew what to reply and gave her a confused look. Then, La's phone rang..it was NK. La, finally got a scapegoat. She exclaimed,

"NK! It was NK, who gobbled down all your hardwork. He's a hungry monster! Whenever he sees any tiffin, he just grab hold of it and eat like a typical hungry monster. He...he..he loved the taste so much that he was about to eat your tiffin! But I came as survivor and snatched it from hungry monster! "

"Huh? La are you serious? I mean are u ok?", she said while checking her, if she had fever.

"I am absolutely fine Khushi...Don't worry! Ookay I should go now! Bye!", she quickly drove away!

'Phew! Now, tomorrow I have to deal with Daadi. ", La thought, while driving.

Whole day passed by...Khushi pondering how to escape from Daadi tomorrow, La and NK planning how to pick up Khushi for party and Arnav too was planning about his party.

It was 11:55 at night. Khushi was pacing up and down her room, gobbling down her jalebies.

"Should I call him?", she thought while biting a piece of same.

"What if he doesn't pick up my call?"

"No no...I own't call him", she thought while picking up another piece of Jalebi from her plate.

"What if he gets angry again?", she was totally confused now! Her head was spinning with confusion when her cell vibrated. It was La. Before she could say hello..La said,

"Listen Khushi its me and NK. I am doing a conference call and in short while we'll be connected to Arnav. Remember sweets, its you, who's going to wish him first!"

"But...La..I"

"Shh...Khushi..He's online.", La hushed her.

"Hello!", answered a husk voice.

Khushi was dumbstruck. She didn't know what to say. She kept mum...breathing heavily simultaneously.

"Hello?", said the voice again.

Khushi took a deep breathe and finally wished him.

"Many many happy returns of the day Arnie!"

Arnav smirked when he heard her calling him Arnie. He cannot deny, that for the whole day he was wishing that anyhow Khushi just call him tonite and give a fantastic start to his Birthday. And, he received her wishes first, his happiness knew no bounds.

"Tha...", before he could say something to her, La and NK almost pierced his ear drums..

"HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY...!!!!!!"

And, they kept him entangled in their talks...never letting the poor souls to talk to each other. As Arnav was about to say anything, Nk would interrupt...and if Khushi tried to say anything...La would interrupt.

It was getting late and Khushi was feeling sleepy and so was Arnav.

"Um..trio, you all continue...I should leave now, Amma might bug in to check me.", she said.

"Okay...bye Khushi!", greeted La and NK.

"Good Night Khushi! Bye..an...and..Thank you!", Arnav finally said.

Before Khushi could anything more...La said,

"Good night Khushi! Meet you tomorrow!"

"Yaa...Bye!", and La disconnected her from line.

"Guys, I too need to sleep. I have lots of work to do for tomorrow's party. You both continue. Bye! And, thanks for wishes!", he said and hung up.

There was only La and Nk left online.

"So, La..now its me and you...so from where we should begin?", Nk said in a flirty tone.

"From sleep!", La said in sarcasm.

"What???", Nk was in utter shock.

"Shut up Nk and lemme sleep! Good night! "and she hung up.

"Ook good night!", Nk shrugged at cut call and threw himself on his bed.

Next morning, Khushi got up quickly and got busy in selecting the best dress she should wear in college.

"This?", she asked herself, while trying green suit.

"No! Its so shiny shiny!"she said to her image in mirror.

Then she took out orange Anarkali.

"This?"

"No...!!" Like this, Khushi took out almost every dress from her wardrobe, messing her room with them, like they were put on a sale.

As she took out red Anarkali, La barged into her room.

"Oh Gosh Khushi! Your daadi is too much!", she said in anger.

She continued..", Now, she has problem with my dress too. Temme, do you find this dress indecent? I mean, if frock, below your knee length looks indecent, I don't know what she would think if someone wear a frock above your knee length!"

"Not a new thing for me! Leave it! How this Anarkali looks? ", she asked her, while encircling at her place...like models do in a fashion show.

"Noott Badd", La said, while examining her.

"But, you are not going to wear this in party!", she continued.

Suddenly Khushi remembered about the party...she asked her with concern,

"Are you sure La, that he has invited me...I mean, I hope I don't end up being a gate crasher!"

"Oh Khushi! You are too much like your Daadi..", she giggled...then she continued..

"Of course Khushi...He did invite you and I have Dhin chak plan to take you for the party tonite.", she winked.

Khushi gave a broad smile and got excited thinking about the party. After she was finally done, she went down with La. La's phone rang while she climbing down. Before picking it up she said to Khushi,

"Now just wait n watch! Your Daadi is going to be the one who's going to force you to come with me", and she picked up the call.

"Hello! Yes Mom!", she said loudly...so that daadi could hear.

"WHAT...Bhai is coming! All the way from London for marriage proposal! Wow! ", she exclaimed loudly.

"And what are you saying..he's coming for just tonite...then, he would go to another city to meet other girl..hmm...I know mom..it would have been better if he found a girl here only", she saw Daadi eavesdropping.

She said more loudly.." Oh! Yes mom...I know, today where do we find such traditional girls...But, I have a friend but, her daadi won't allow this.", she pouted.

Daadi started thinking something. She saw tension arousing in daadi's face.

"Ok! Mom...I'll pick up Bhai tonite ..bye!" and she hung up.

"Come Khushi..lets go!", La said while holding Khushi's hand.

"Lavnya wait", Daadi called out..

La winked at Khushi and turned towards Daadi.

"Erm..do u know how to cook?", daadi asked.

La gave a confused look and replied..

"I only know how to cook western dishes...ermm...why?

"Ii heard that ur brother is coming from London. He must be wanting to eat Indian dishes...but you! you don't even know how to hold rolling pin. Do one thing, take Khushi with you. She'll help you.", Daadi instructed.

Khushi's face beamed with happiness, but sh controlled her smile to get more broader and asked in an innocent tone.

"But Daadi, I would be coming late tonite then...and you don't like that."

"Hmm...you are right!", Daadi said, while pondering. La glared at Khushi for spoiling her plan.

"Shit!", Khushi whispered. Then, Daadi after sometime continued...

"No problem! You may come tomorrow morning! Would that be fine for you Lavnya?"

"No problem at all!", La exclaimed with happiness.

"I will get clothes for tonite and tomorrow"..Said and Khushi and rushed towards her room, selected best piece of dressing and climbed down stairs to join La.

She waved to daadi and amma and ran outside with La. Both sat inside the car, she drove it to a distance and both started laughing loudly!

"Hhaha...Your daadi seems very much interested in marrying you with my bother!", La giggled.

Khushi too laughed. After laughing for a long time, they stopped to catch breathe.

"Okay now Khushi. We are not going to college today.", she informed.

"But..."

"Don't worry! Our class is cancelled today! And, Arnav is also not attending it. And, madam I have to ready you for tonight!", said La.

Khushi blushed a bit...as well as felt awkward as he, himself didn't come and invite her...what if she ends up being a gate crasher!

"La, are you sure he invited me too? I mean...like he specified my name too?", Khushi asked hesitantly.

"Khushi! Believe me! He said that! Now don't think much and lets go to my house now! I have lot many things to prepare.", she said, while starting the engine.

Khushi sat there silently, lost in her own thoughts!
