Arnav and Khushi had their romantic candle light dinner and went home. Arnav asked his driver to take his car home while he drove Khushi to Siddharth's house.
"Want to come in?" she asked him.
He looked at his watch. The time was quarter to nine. He followed her in and was greeted by the two little kittens. They had grown a little. When they saw Arnav, they ran to him and brushed themselves against his legs. He picked them up and slumped on the couch with them on his stomach.
"They have grown and they look healthy," he told her. "Did you really have to name them Salt and Pepper?"
The kittens played with his tie. When Khushi didn't respond, he turned around to see her. She stood mesmerized with the sight in front of her. Never had she imagined that the business tycoon would get comfortable on the couch with a couple of kittens.
"Why are you staring at me?"
She walked around the couch and kissed his forehead.
"I love you, Arnav."
He smiled and asked, "Just one?"
"Abhi ke liye sirf ek." [Only one for now.]
"That's so mean."
"I know."
He saw her moving away and asked, "Kahaan jaa rahi ho?" [Where are you going?]
"Kapade badalne." [To change my dress.]
"Why? You look good in this."
"Siddhu aur di aajayege. [Siddhu and di will come.] I have to go."
"Come soon."
"Just five minutes."
As promised, she was back within five minutes. He stretched his arms and asked her to join him on the couch. She did and the two kittens started fiddling with her dupatta.
"Be ready by four tomorrow," he told her. "I'll come to pick you up."
"Where are we going?"
"That is a surprise for my sweet wife, Ms. Khushi Raina. You were happy with a date today. Tomorrow, it will be Mrs. Raizada's day."
"Okay, Mr. Raizada. Your wife will be ready. I'll tell her. You love her a lot, don't you?"
He smiled and said, "Yes, a lot. You know, woh thodi si pagal hai lekin'." [You know, she is a little mad but'.]
"She is putting up with you and your tantrums, isn't she? So, she has to be."
He slightly hit her head with his and she winced.
"Achcha? Me and my tantrums? I am not going to take you on a date again, Ms. Raina."
"Sorry. Sorry. I was just joking."
"That's better."
He pulled her close and placed his cheek over her head.
Anjali's tears subsided and she was grateful to Siddharth for his support. His support gave her positive vibrations but somehow she wasn't courageous enough to extend her hands and reach for the positive vibrations.
Siddharth noticed the big table and the covered bowls and plates over it.
"Since we are locked in here, why don't we put all those dishes to good use?"
"Are you suggesting that we eat it?"
"Exactly."
"What if all these are for someone else?"
"Whoever it was locked the wrong people and I am too hungry to argue right now. So, how about we have dinner?"
She smiled.
Little did they know that they were the right people and all those preparations were exclusively for them. The clock struck nine by the time they finished dinner.
The door opened and the restaurant's manager walked in.
"I am really sorry, Sir. Madam," he said.
"We were asked to lock a young couple in so that they could share what was in their hearts. We thought we did our job until a few minutes back. The person who arranged this called us and told us that the couple were not in town. I am really sorry, Sir."
"Share what was in their hearts?" Siddharth thought and smirked.
That was exactly what he and Anjali did.
"You were at the wrong place at the wrong time, Sir. Once again, I apologize. You must have had other things to tend to."
"It's alright." He looked at the dishes and said, "We finished them."
"Not a problem at all, Sir."
When the manager old them about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Anjali remembered why she had gone to the restaurant in the first place.
"Can we use this room for a few more minutes?" Anjali asked the manager.
"Of course, madam."
Saying that, he left the two alone.
"I have to tell you something," Anjali told Siddharth.
"Important?"
She nodded.
"I heard Arnav talking about an affair with someone and'."
"What?" Siddharth asked. "Anjali, this is a prank, right? Arnav aur kisi ke saath affair? No way."
"I thought so too until I saw her."
He was shocked.
He came back to his senses and said, "There must be some mistake."
"No."
Anjali told him about the phone conversation and about the woman in red.
"This makes no sense. Arnav ko kisi aur ke saath affair ki kya zaroorat hai? You must have heard in between lines, Anjali." He took out his phone and said, "Wait a second. I'll call him."
He dialled Arnav's number and waited for him to attend the call. He didn't. The he tried Khushi's number. She didn't attend the call.
"Let's go home. Khushi will be there."
Siddharth drove to his house with Anjali. Even though she didn't want to believe it, she couldn't ignore what she had heard and seen.
They saw Arnav's car parked in the garage.
"Tumara chote yahin hai," Siddharth told her.
They opened the door and went inside to find Arnav, Khushi and the kittens on the couch.
"Does he look like someone who has an affair?" Siddharth asked her.
She thought about the phone conversation and the look on Arnav's face when he saw the woman.
He noticed her confused look and said, "No problem. Forget about it."
They saw the two tickling the kittens and Siddharth thought of surprising them.
"What are you two doing here?" he asked in a stern voice.
Arnav and Khushi literally jumped from the couch with the kittens. Khushi hid behind Arnav while Arnav looked at the two kittens in his hands.
Arnav showed him the kittens. "In dhono ko dhosth ke saath khelna tha. Iss liye," he replied like a little kid. [These two wanted to play with friends. That's why.]
"Aap dhono ne phone kyun nahi utaaya?" [Why didn't you two attend calls?]
Both of them looked around for their phone.
Khushi remembered that her phone was in her room and said, "Mera phone tho kamre mein hai." [My phone is in my room.]
"Mera car mein." [Mine is in the car.]
They looked cute. It was as if a father was asking his children about something mischievous that they did and the children, who were caught red handed, answered him.
"I thought you have a conference, chote," Anjali said.
The 'chote' was back.
"Conference ke liye mood nahi tha, di. [I didn't have the mood for a conference.] Just wanted to spend some time with Khushi. So I came here."
"You guys had dinner?" Siddharth asked them. He noticed Khushi still hiding behind Arnav and teased her. "And my dearest sweetheart, you don't have to hide behind Arnav."
She smiled and stepped aside.
They spoke for a while and when the clock struck eleven, they decided to call it a day.
Before leaving, Arnav reminded her about the next day's plan.
"Kal. Chaar baje. Bhoolna math." [Tomorrow. Four O' clock. Don't forget.]
She nodded.
Arnav and Anjali bid goodbye and went home.
"Kal kahin jaana hai?" Siddharth asked her. "You have to go somewhere tomorrow."
"He said he'll take me somewhere."
Khushi noticed the calm look on his face. For the past so many days, the peaceful expression had been missing in his eyes.
"Siddhu," she called him before he went to his room.
He turned around.
"Bahut dhino ke baath tume aisa dekh rahi hoon." [I am seeing you like this after a long time.]
"Kaise?" [How?]
"You seem calm today. For the past few days, you were always disturbed. You tried to hide it but I was able to see through your acting." When he didn't say anything, she asked, "You are okay, right?"
He put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Tumari papa and not alright. Yeh ho saktha hai kya?" [Your papa and not alright? Can it ever happen?]
She smiled and said, "Nahi." [No.]
"Main aaj khush hoon kyun ki Anjali past ko bhoolne mein pehla khadam utaayi." [I am happy today because Anjali has taken her fisrt step in trying to forget her past.]
She hugged him and said, "Congratulations. Yeh sirf di ka pehla khadam nahi. Tumara bhi. Tume tumara pyaar mil jayaga." [Congratulations. This is not just di's first step. It is yours too. You will get your love.]
He kissed her forehead and said, "You are the best daughter anyone could ask for." The clock chimed and he said, "Bahut raat ho gayi. So jao." [It is very late. Go and sleep.]
Before they went to their respective rooms, Khushi said, "Siddhu, papa called. He said he will be back by next week."
"Finally, the old man remembers his children," he muttered under his breath which Khushi heard.
"I'll let him know that you called him an old man," she said with a chuckle.
The next day, Siddharth was in the conference room with a certain Pooja Sharma. The fact that Pooja Sharma was a Miss and not a Mrs did not sit well with a particular person. The extra fact that Ms. Pooja Sharma stuck onto Siddharth like a fly on glue sent uneasy feelings through the same particular person.
Khushi, who was standing with Jia in a corner, saw everything that happened around her. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from laughing out loud. The expression on Anjali's face was worth more than she could ask for.
Pooja was one of Siddharth's clients. The deal was finalized and she had arranged for a party the next day.
"Sid, you are the special guest," Pooja said in her flirty voice. "Don't forget. Seven thirty."
She noticed Jia and Khushi.
"Bring your employees, too." She asked them, "Your names?"
"I am Khushi." She pointed to Jia and said, "This is Jia, Siddhu's personal secretary."
Pooja's eyes narrowed at the name 'Siddhu'.
"Sid, why is your employee calling you by your name?"
Arnav walked in through the open door and went straight to Khushi. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.
"I am a little late, jaan. Got stuck up in traffic." He turned to Pooja and asked, "Sorry. You were saying something?"
Pooja's mouth was wide open.
"Arnie!" she exclaimed.
"Arnav Singh Raizada," he corrected her. "And this is my wife, Khushi Raina Singh Raizada."
Khushi's name had both the surnames of the two big people standing before her and she was shocked. She looked at Arnav and Siddharth with a confused expression.
Arnav smirked when he saw her expression.
"I don't treat them as my emplyees," Siddharth told her. "They are more like my colleagues and friends. I'll bring them along for the party."
Everyone left and only Siddharth, Arnav and Khushi remained. She couldn't control her laughter aanymore.
When Arnav stepped away to attend a call, "You should learn to flirt, Sid. It is doing you a lot more help than you can ever imagine."
"Do you mind explaining it in a language I can understand?" he asked her.
"Di was jealous. Iss baar maine kuch nahi kiya. Everything was because of that Pooja Sharma. Find a few other chipku type ladkiyaan. It will be useful for you to'."
"To have a playboy image?"
Arnav returned and asked, "Kya ho raha hai?" [What is happening?]
"Kuch nahi," Khushi told him. [Nothing.]
"You are not going to that party tomorrow."
"Kyun?" [Why?]
"Because I don't want you to go."
"Main jaongi." [I will go.]
"Math jao varna'." [Don't go, otherwise'.]
"Varna? Varna kya? Chote bachchon ki tara kyun behave kar rahe ho?" [Otherwise? Otherwise what? Why are you behaving like small children?]
"Bachchon ki tara?" [Like children?]
Siddharth wanted to stop them. He then changed his mind and left the conference room. Khushi watched him go and hugged Arnav.
"I love you so much."
"Love you too, jaan," he told her with a smile. "Still, you are not going to the party."
"Mr. Raizada, you have missed something here."
"What have I missed?"
She told him about Anjali's reaction and he smiled.
"Tum jaa sakthi ho lekin ek condition hai." [You can go on a condition.]
"Kaun si condition?" [What condition?]
"I'll come with you."
She gave him a bright smile and said, "Yeh tho condition nahi. Happy news hai." [This is not a condition. This is great news.]
"Ab chalein?" [Now shall we go?]
"Kahaan?" [Where?]
"Surprise."
"Ek minute. I'll tell Siddhu, di and Vijay that I am leaving."
Before she took two steps away from him, he caught her wrist and pulled her towards him. She collided on his chest.
"Arnav'.!"
"Vijay kaun?"
She realized that he remembered about their phone conversation and said, "Vijay is the one with the big, big muscles."
"Big, big muscles?"
The force on her hand increased and she gave him a puzzled look.
"Arnav..?"
He pulled her closer and said, "You are mine, Khushi. Just mine."
"I am yours, Arnav. Always," she said as she raised her free hand to his cheek.
"Then why did you talk about Vijay?"
"I am working with Vijay on the designs. So, I have to tell him that we can continue the rest tomorrow."
He closed his eyes and tried to control the sudden surge of anger which had erupted when he heard the name 'Vijay'.
Khushi tried to wriggle her hand out of his hand but his hold was tight.
"Arnav," she said slowly. "Mera haath." [My hand.]
He opened his eyes and noticed the hurt expression on her face. He removed his hand from hers and tried to step back. Before he could step back, she wrapped her hands around his waist and hugged him.
"Arnav, main tumse bahut bahut bahut pyaar karti hoon." [Arnav, I love you very, very, very much.]
His hands lay limp on his sides and he didn't hug her back. Anger was always a mask to hide the pain and he didn't know why he was repeating the same mistake with his Khushi.
He slowly wrapped his hands around her and said, "Jee nahi paaonga tumare bina." [I won't be able to live without you.]
"Main bhi jee nahi paaongi tumare bina." [I will also not be able to live without you.]
"I love you, jaan."
She noticed that he was becoming too emotional and tried to change the topic.
"Meri surprise kahaan hai?" [Where is my surprise?]
"Some other day?"
She was adamant. "Nahi. Mujhe aaj hi chahiye." [No. I want it today.]
A small smile touched his lips when he saw her behaving like a kid.
"Chalo. Aaj hi leke jaaonga," he imitated her. [Come on. I'll take you today.]
"Where are we going?" Khushi asked for almost the tenth time.
He couldn't stop himself from saying, "To meet my first love."
"Kyaaa'.?" [What?]
"You heard it right, jaan. My first love."
She stayed silent through the rest of the journey.
He stopped in a place which looked like a garden and removed his seat belt.
When she gave him a questioning look, he said, "Come on."
She removed her seat belt and got down. He walked to her side and entwined his fingers with hers.
"This is my favourite spot in the whole world," he told her. He showed her the little house in the middle and said, "This is where nana and nani started their life. Whenever maa, di and I came to Delhi, we used to plant something here. The first plant I remember is a rose."
He took her to the rose garden in the left of the house and showed her the roses. One mysterious question was answered. The roses she had received when she was in Mumbai had been from here.
"I love gardening because of maa."
She walked around the garden and touched all the plants and trees. She loved the place as she felt an instant connection with it. She had a beautiful smile on her lips and Arnav admired that.
"Yeh bahut achchi jaga hai," she told him. [This place is very nice.]
"Khushi, I need to tell you something."
She walked to him and slipped her hand around his waist.
"Kya?" [What?]
"I told you I built walls around myself when I was fourteen. I didn't tell you why it happened."
She somehow knew that talking about his past might break him down. Yet, she also knew that it would be better for him if he let everything out. The same remedy he had suggested for his sister.
"Maa worshipped my father. He was everything for her but she wasn't everything for him. He had an affair with another woman."
She moved aside a bit and looked into his eyes. Tears pooled in them.
"When maa found it out, she was devastated. She shot herself. My father was guilty and he killed himself. Sixteenth August. That was the day everything changed. After that, my Uncle, who was interested only in my father's money, kicked di and me out of Sheesh Mahal. That is the place where you and I first met. Nani brought us to Delhi and she helped us study. It was a struggle. Mami and mama supported us throughout. That was why Arnav changed to ASR and how he lost himself in the process." He wiped his tears and said, "I learnt that my uncle controlled my father's factory and that it ran on a loss. I thought it was due to my uncle's stupidity. When I was financially strong enough, I probed into the matter and found that the factory was running on a huge irrepairable loss even when my father was looking after it. Uncle had lots of debts and people where after him. I went to the people who lent him money and bought the factory and Sheesh Mahal. I did the same thing he did to me and di. I kicked him out of the house. I don't know where he went or how he is. I got my revenge and I was satisfied with it. Sometimes I used to wonder whether my father killed himself due to the guilt or due to the loss. Whatever the reason was, he was the reason our life changed and i have always hated that man. I lost my mother and my happiness."
He placed his hands on her cheek and said, "You gave it back to me, Khushi. True to your name, you have given me nothing but happiness. Before I make you mine in all ways, I wanted you to know about me and my past. My past made me a dark man, Khushi. I am not justifying my ruthless and my unfeeling behaviour. I am just saying that I am not the same person I was before. I still don't care about others. Others can go to hell and it will make no difference to me. But you'. You mean the world to me. Di was the only one I lived for. Now you have joined her. I can do anything for you, Khushi. I have already told you a lot of times. You have changed me for the good. But still, the boy who had a bad childhood is inside me and can show his head anytime. That was what happened in Siddharth's office today. I'll see to it that it doesn't happen. I am telling this to you because you should know what type of a person you are marrying."
She placed her hand on his chest over his heart and said, "I know what kind of a person I am marrying. He likes his family very much. He is not good with too many words and that is why his family does not know how much he values them. The only person he opens up is with me and I think my chatterbox character has somehow rubbed off on him. There is just one thing I would like to tell him. His past does not matter. His future with me does. There can never be another person in this world who can love me like him. Anger issues are a part of him and I can live with that as long as he promises to bring me to this place whenever I ask him." She looked at him with pleading eyes and asked, "Will he?"
He pulled her close and hugged her tight.
"Looks like he will," she whispered.
Arnav was the happiest man in the whole world. He wouldn't exchange his place for anything else.
It was getting dark. Khushi climbed onto the bonnet of the car and leaned on the glass. She asked Arnav to join her and he did. They sat together and stared at the starry sky.
"If your maa was here, would she have liked me?" Khushi asked him.
He looked at one of the three bright stars and said, "Dekhiye maa, aap ki bahu kis tara ki sawaal pooch rahi hai." [See what type of a question your daughter-in-law is asking?]
"Do you talk with stars?"
"You taught me to." He pointed to the three important stars in their life and said, "Tumari amma aur bauji. Yeh meri maa." [You amma and bauji. This is my mother.]
"Maa, aap ka beta bilkul romantic nahi hai," she complained. "When I send him messages, he sends me blank messages as a reply."
He remembered the day and said, "Aunty, main uss din meeting mein busy tha. Aap ki beti mujhe bahut criticize kar rahi hai." [Auny, I was busy in a meeting that day. Your daughter is criticizing me very much.]
"Maa sirf meri baath par yakeen karenge." [Maa will trust me.]
"Uncle aur Aunty mere baath par." [Uncle and aunty will trust me.]
After a few minutes of silence, he asked her, "You miss your parents?"
She snuggled closer to him and said, "Hmmm."
He kissed her forehead and said, "I love you, jaan."
"I love you, too," she mumbled.
Both of them wanted that moment to freeze. They had everything in their life and they wanted it to be like that forever.
Ah…Another LONG update…YAY!!
PART-A
Time U know I really enjoy everytime u put up Ms. Raina-Mr. Raizada-Mrs. Raizada Affair. It's really cute in a way.
"Share what was in their hearts?" Siddharth thought and smirked.

Poor anjali…all of it get her so confused.! She doubts her own eyes now.,, :D
