"Since you brought my favorite chocolates, I want to tell you a secret Mamu that Mumma told me not to tell you."
"What is it Sweetypie?"
Sneha looked around and gestured him to come closer. When Arnav came closer to her mouth, she whispered "Mamu, Mumma is getting ready to go out for dinner and She wants to take you too. If you want to escape from the torture, then you must hide in your room so that Mumma doesn't get to know that you have came back."
"You are right sweety." Arnav stood up and almost ran upstairs when a voice boomed in his ears
"CHOTE !!!"
Arnav cursed under his breath as he turned to face his Di looking all ready and determined to make him say yes. Sneha giggled in his arms as she exclaimed "bad luck Mamu !!!"

"Amma how many times have I told you to not step inside the kitchen?" said Khushi as she entered in the kitchen. Garima who was busy in cooking something turned to look at her.
"Khushi beta some guests are coming for dinner and they are really very special so I wanted to cook dinner for them. I gave all the servants a day off."
Khushi caught Garima's hand and took her out of the kitchen "Amma you take rest. Jiji and I will cook the dinner for your so called special guests."
**************
"YOU !!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?" Khushi roared as soon as she opened the front door of her house to see "The Great" Arnav Singh Raizada standing there with a huge bouquet of beautiful red roses in his hands, dressed in a blue denim jeans and a plain black shirt. He is looking so handsome, Khushi concluded taking in his appearance which was totally different from his usual appearance.
Arnav smirked as he saw Khushi standing in front of him, with her hands on her hips looking pretty in a bright yellow chooridar.
Raising his left eyebrow at her question, Arnav teased her "Tsk Tsk Miss Gupta is it your usual way to greet your guests or you reserved that response only for me?"
"What are you doing here? ARE YOU STALKING ME ?" Khushi spoke as if she didn't heard Arnav's reply.
"Don't give too much importance to yourself, Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta.Payal invited me and Di for the dinner." Arnav retorted back narrowing his eyes at Khushi.
Khushi was about to reply back to him, when a melodious voice rang "Khushi, who is there at the door?"
Moments later, Payal joined them and saw Arnav standing there. "Hello Arnavji, I am so glad to see you again."
Arnav smiled "Hello Payal, how are you? Oh I bought these flowers for you."
He gave the flowers to Payal while staring at Khushi who was fuming after seeing him. Payal took the flowers from him with a smile on her face which irritated Khushi further.
"Thank you. I am good. Please come inside. By the way, where is Anjaliji and Sneha?"
Just then, Anjali and Sneha appeared behind Arnav beaming positively at Khushi and Payal. "Hello Payalji. How have you been? This must be Khushiji."
"I am good Anjaliji. Yeah this is my sister Khushi. Now please come inside" Payal replied gesturing them to come inside while Khushi said a quick hello to her.
"So how is Shyamji?" Payal asked as they sat.As a lawyer, Payal worked on some cases with Shyam and eventually they became friends. Many times Shyam invited Payal for dinner at his house so this time Payal invited Anjali for dinner along with Arnav as she knew both of them personally and they both considered her as a very good friend.
"He is good. He went to Mumbai for 3 days tour. Thanks for inviting us for dinner Payalji."
Soon they started conversing with each other meanwhile Arnav and Khushi stared at each other, their eyes communicating silently as Sneha witnessed their strange eye conversation.
**************
"Jiji please tell me that I didn't cooked all these delicious dishes for that man?" said Khushi as she entered the kitchen to take the dishes for dinner.
"Unfortunately yes, you did." Payal giggled as she took out some dishes.
"Why do you hate him so much Khushi?You just met him few days ago" Payal asked while walking towards the dinning table with Khushi, completely unaware about the kiss they shared.
"Because he is a jerk of the highest order jiji." Khushi replied as she saw Arnav and her father chatting animatedly. She saw him looking at her and pursed her lips looking away.
