Chapter 12
Arnav walked down the stairs looking extremely dashing. And why wouldn't he? He was meeting his childhood sweetheart at last! As he came down he noticed all of his family was ready to go somewhere too.
"Woww chotey..you look extremely handsome and smell nice too...you are not going on a date are you?" teased Anjali.
"Di! Just attending a charity event..."
"Hello Hi bye bye! Arnav bitwa we are going too..."
He looked astonished.
"Yes Chotey...Samita Devi asked us to support Khushi betiya's performance...I did not want them to think we are holding a grudge against them.."
Nani did not care much about what had happened she was too interested in getting her grandson somehow married to her.
"Okay Di we will go together..."
His mobile rang and he picked it up.
"Yes Aman?"
Arnav walked off towards the pool side area.
"Sir I just saw the press conference given by Ms Khushi K.."
"Aman not now...I just don't want that woman spoiling my mood..."
"But Sir that is why I am telling you...she is.."
"Aman we will talk about it later...my family is coming with me so I don't want anyone knowing about Chamkili okay?"
"I understand sir"
Arnav cut the call.
"Sir I was going to tell you Ms Khushi is your Chamkili...well he will either get surprised or shocked!"
Aman decided to let the events unfold in front of his employer.
***
Arnav was at the front row with Aman while his family managed to get seats in the third row. The show started.
"Ladies and Gentleman...today's subject is of what is it like to become 18 years old...and some of our performers will perform with this theme...I hope you will enjoy the evening...any donations will be appreciated...Thank you"
The first performance was on 'atra baras ki kunwari kali thi'. Arnav sat there restlessly.
"When will I see Chamkili?" he asked Aman.
"Sir she is performing that much I do know.."
Then a girl and boy peformed on "Atra baras kit u hone ko ayi re". Arnav fidgeted with his hands.
A phone call came on his number when they had finished.
"Yes Di"
"Are you enjoying it Chotey?" asked Anjali excited while Mami whistled in the background.
"I can tell you are!" joked Arnav.
The music of the third performance started. A village set up was revealed. All the girls in green and all the men in white.
Arnav casually saw a girl dressed in a red ghagra choli with her face covered with her dupatta dancing with the girls.
"Di I can't hear you" Arnav casually looked at the girl covered.

"SIR THERE IS CHAMKILI MAM" Aman excitedly pulled Arnav's arm for attention.
Arnav quickly looked at the stage and who Aman was pointing at. Khushi pulled her dupatta up her head, her face all uncovered.
Khushi: Main atra baras ki hogai main kya karoo? Meri chunri lambhi hogayi main kya karoo? Meri choli choti hogayi main kya karoo...(I have become 18 years old what shall I do? My veil has become long now what shall I do? My blouse has become too small what shall I do?)
His mouth dropped with shock! His eyes widened with disbelief. He quickly looked at Aman and he nodded his head to confirm his fears.
"WHAT THE F! HOLY COW! THAT IS CHAMKILI?"
His face remained at her direction letting it all sink in.
It was his worst nightmare confirmed. He had told Mr Gupta a week ago that he would not marry her if she was the last girl on earth. And here the only girl he loved was the same girl he hated. Disbelieving he shook his head as if to wake up from this nightmare.
Chamkili=Khushi Kumari Gupta!
"No way Aman! She can't be my Chamkili...she is Khushi Kumari Gupta..."
"I was trying to tell you before but you wouldn't listen...Sir look at this"
Aman gave him a file with all the evidences. Arnav flipped through them. Yes he did trace her correctly because he saw her childhood pictures. The medical notes of Chamkili matched Khushi Kumari Gupta. Arnav looked up at Khushi dancing ever so elegantly.
SHE WAS CHAMKILI!
Khushi: Koi mera naam pukare, koi mujko kare ishare...koi pagal seeti mare...main marr gai main marr gai ghayal hogayi main kya karoo...main atra baras...(Some guy calls out my name..some give me a sign...some mad person whistles..I get wounded and die what shall I do?...)
A male dancer entered the performance. Arnav was frozen and thinking of all the fights he had with her. He did not know what to think. His head was spinning with the revelation.
Man: Yaddon ke teer chala ke, mere sapno main aake, nindeeya se muje jaga ke, tu akhiya meech ke sogayi...tu atra baras ki hogayi main kya karoo, teri chunri lambhi hogayi main kya karoo? Teri choli choti hogayi main kya karoo?(by throwing arrows of memories you come into my dreams, you make me awake and close your eyes and go to sleep..so you have become 18 years old what shall I do? Your veil has become too long what shall I do? Your blouse has become small what shall I do?)
Nani and Mami were dancing and whistling at Khushi's performance. Arnav relaxed a bit and just tried to enjoy the performance.
Khushi: Mera joban mare jatke, ashiq pansi pe latke, muje chehre gali ke larke, gali ke larke..ye ayi re woh ayi dekho wo gayi...main atra baras ki...(My youth electrocutes, lovers are dangling on a rope..the street thugs annoy me...look here I come and there are go..I have become 18 years old..)
Once the performance had finished Arnav realised Chamkili was not that little girl he knew from his childhood. She was a grown young woman.
"Sir I did try telling you but you cut my call off before"
He did not answer he was too numb. It didn't matter now. For a long while he did not know whether to feel happy he had found Chamkili or afraid. She had turned into a monster. The girl dancing in front of him was Khushi Kumari Gupta but he began to soften Chamkili into her.
***
In the dressing room, Khushi put her foot on a stool to take off her payal. As she began taking it off she sensed someone looking at her. Quickly she looked up.
"Arnav Singh Raizada?"
Arnav stood there letting her beauty penetrate his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" she barked.
"Chamkili"
Khushi quickly looked up slightly shocked.
"Ummmh I mean you are looking extremely chamkili today with all this traditional stuff...didn't think it was you..You amaze me Khushi Kumari Gupta first praying to Devi Maiyaa..then apologising and now dancing for a charity event...didn't know you had a soft spot for human causes"
Khushi did not know what to say and she began taking her other payal off. He looked at her milky skin looking divine with her red outfit. She looked sensational.
"Khushi your performance was really good...I did not know you were this talented".
She looked up and came close.
"Why are you buttering me up?"
"I'm not! I am just telling the truth" he said in soft tone. She looked at him confused.
"Thanks" she scrunched her eyebrows.
Nani, Anjali, Mami and Akash barged into the dressing room too.
"Ms Gupta you were awesome!" Akash said as soon as he entered the room.
"Bhai what are you doing here?" questioned Akash suspiciously.
"Just came to compliment her performance...same as you"
His family began serenading her with compliments and all she could do was awkwardly smile. Arnav asked Aman to not reveal to anyone about Khushi being Chamkili. He decided that he was going to take his own sweet time to find out if Khushi had any feelings for him. Otherwise it was pointless making a fool out of himself.
***
The images of her dancing haunted Arnav's thoughts, while he sat on his chaise longue near his pool. Wearing orange top and grey pants he sat looking at the ripples in his pool.
*She is...Chamkili...my Chamkili...but my mind says she can't be...but she is though...all the evidence is there...Mr Gupta is her uncle...no wonder I didn't recognise her...but what about her parents what happened to them? I need to find out everything...I can't tell her I'm her Nannav she won't believe me...it's pointless if she has forgotten me...I need to get to know her...you know like become friends with her...I need to use my head and objectively see her...She hates me and I need to soften her towards me...*
Pacing the pool side area he thought of all possible ways he would get close to her. But every way told her to be careful and not push her. She was not his Chamkili but the atrocious powerful Khushi Kumari Gupta.
He felt a little butterfly in his stomach as he knew tomorrow morning he was with her all day long. His mind was at war with himself. He had strong feelings against Khushi and soft feelings for his Chamkili.
Both feelings were extreme levels of love and hate...and now they had combined...and his mind and heart did not know what to feel anymore.
***
Akash came straight to Payal in the morning.
"Morning babe"
"Morning" Payal said feeling bashful.
"What is the matter with you?" asked Payal amused.
"Me? Why?"
"You are behaving a little strangley"
"Oh THAT...Payal you know you were right about Ms Gupta...she is a dark horse isn't she? I mean who would have thought she would dance for a charity event...and on top she is so good...I am truly lost for words.."
*Chuckling* "I told you Akash she is one in a billion...she doesn't blow her trumpet but she is very talented...she is such a good painter...and she cooks very well too"
"Really?" he said more surprised.
Payal nodded.
"Mmmhh interesting".
***
He looked at his Chamkili while she was engrossed in her work. He smiled at his luck that the girl he was looking for was right in front of him for the past month!
"I want you to make sure every design is unique in its own way...I want no repetition of the same designs...we will need to think of the poster as soon as possible as there is not much time left..."
Arnav looked at her lost. She was something.
"Are you listening?"
"Yes I am..don't worry I have everything covered.."
"Good"
Arnav sat there writing something on the file and humming and singing.
"Main atra baras ki hogayi main kya karoo? Meri Chunri lambhi hogayi main kya karoo? Meri..."
Khushi looked up and banged her hand on the table.
"What is this?"
"What is what?" asked Arnav with the straight face.
"Why are you singing that in the office?"
"Ooh that! I don't know it's been stuck in my head since last night...by the way shall we got out together for tea at lunch time.."
"Why" she said curiously.
"I think we should celebrate you turning 18" he said with a tinge of humour.
"Arnav Singh Raizada.." she gritted her teeth.
"Don't tell me you haven't turned 18 yet!"
"And why would I do that?"
"Because most women hide their age"
"Well not me...I'm 26 years old..And you can forget going out for tea"
Arnav began tapping away on his laptop.
"Khushi don't you think you are always uptight..you need to relax...I was only joking"
Khushi ignored him and then looked at him busy in his laptop. Why was he all of sudden being so sort of nice to her.
"Anyway I'm going to a meeting I shall meet you tomorrow now.." Arnav looked up disappointed. Payal walked in to see her boss off.
"Payal help Mr Raizada finish off some designs..."
Payal nodded and Khushi walked off with her mobile and clutch.
"What an ogre she is!" Arnav said making small talk with Payal.
"She is not that bad...she just seems a little aggressive"
Arnav rolled his eyes thinking that he needs to dig some info on Khushi.
"Okay..you seem a bit defensive.."
"I would because I seen the good side of Mam.."
"Like?" he tried to sound sarcastic.
"You saw her yesterday how much she does for charities..most people she helps without them even realising..."
He listened carefully taking mental notes.
Akash walked in on their conversation.
"Bhai did you know Hitler Gupta goes to dancing classes every day? No wonder she is so good!"
He arched his left eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Yes Mam goes at 8pm every day to the Shanti dance club...dancing is her hobby..." Payal said not realising she was giving away too much information.
Arnav clicked his pen shut.
Precap; Arnav meets Khushi at the dance club😳
