So here goes part 3
Love you guys especially cherrybloom1 who is Arnavs no. 1 fan atm
I know khushi's being a bit stubborn, but I think that's more to do with me atm because I base khushi's exploits on how my married life will be (probably).
Let me explain why she isn't backing down:
Basically normally, when I argue with a certain person I let them win, but then a month ago they said something that really peeved me off and now I'm going to fight back a little more than I normally do. I'm still annoyed at them.
So khushi is going to be a bit more stubborn than usual like i am.
People wanted to hear both conversations so here goes first I'll start with Arnavs convo
The hotel part 3
Payal walked downstairs to the kitchen, if she was going to be sorting out her sisters marital problems for the next two hours she was going to need something to munch.
"Payal? Are you still there?"
"Hmm? Yeah one minute. I need brain food."
Payal looked in the cupboards and found exactly what she needed. Popcorn. She unwrapped the plastic and put it in the microwave.
"Okay. Done. Its in the microwave. " She got a bowl out from the cupboard.
"What are you making?"
Speaking of food, I'm hungry Arnav thought to himself.
Disadvantage number one of fighting with his wife, no food.
"Popcorn."
"Popcorn?"
"Hey! Don't judge. I'm hungry, plus I keep your secret."
"What secret?"
"The secret that every couple of months you fake being ill just so you can be looked after 24/7 by khushi."
Arnav was shocked, how did she know?
"How do you know that?"
"Oh please. I know everything that goes on in this family. Last week maamiji had a dream she and laxmi swapped bodies."
"Does khushi know?"
"What? About maamiji's dream? I think so, maamiji's been best friends with the goat since..."
"No not maamiji's dream (although that does explain a lot) ... I meant about me... Pretending to be ill..." Arnav prompted.
"Oh that? No don't worry, I haven't told her... Yet."
"She hasn't-"
"No she hasn't realised. She's blind when it comes to you. "
"Blind?" Arnav asked
"Well, Remember that time when you planned that romantic getaway in guise of a meeting, took her along with you, and "just happened" to get stranded with two flat tyres?"
Arnav chuckled. "Yeah, I just had my car checked by a mechanic."
"Exactly, the poor mechanic. I don't think he's ever been the same since. I even hinted at it you know... She said, and I quote" payal cleared her throat before she continued (in a perfect imitation of khushi)
"Arey jeeji, why would Arnavji do something like that. You know he loves his work. Sometimes even more than me. It's all that mechanics fault, because of him my husband lost such a big deal."
"Hmmph. Big deal my foot." Payal continued in her normal voice.
Ding! Popcorn was done. Payal poured it into a bowl. She walked the lounge and sat cross legged on the sofa with the bowl in her lap.
"And then?" Arnav asked
"And then what? She just continued making jalebis and ranting about how irresponsible the mechanic was. You're lucky she didn't beat him up."
Arnav grinned
"Anyway back to why you called... what did you do?
Arnav's grin disappeared,
"Well, it pretty much was doomed from the beginning"
So Arnav began his story. He told her about the fuss khushi had made at the airport.
"I told you that it was a bad Idea not to tell her"
"Yeah, but I thought she would forget about it once the drug had worn off..."
"Woah! Wait,wait, wait, wait... What? You drugged her? No wonder she's annoyed."
"No that's not why... There's more..."
So he then continued the story of how they boarded the plane, how excited khushi was. How stubborn she was with the seatbelt and how he fixed that in less than a minute.
"HAHA! NICE ONE!" Payal almost yelled.
"I know, I thought so too...anyway..."
Then he told her about khushi yelling at a little kid, and how he took her jalebis away and gave it to the poor kid behind her.
"Hmmm... That doesn't sound like khushi... Why was she annoyed at the kid?"
"I don't know.."
"What do you mean you don't know? You took her JALEBIS away, that's like taking away gold from a pirate. You just don't do it without good reason. And if you do you don't survive very long. No wonder she's mad at you."
"That's not why she's mad..."
"Bloody hell,"
"Yeah, I know... There's more"
Then he told her about airport security, how he found out that khushi was annoyed at him and how khushi had insisted on telling the immigration officer their whole love story, and how she nearly proposed to the immigration officer.
"She said, and I'm quoting "tell you what, if it doesn't work out between me and him, I'll marry you ""
"Haha... To be honest you deserved that... You took her jalebis away..."
Then he told her about what happened at baggage claim. How khushi had flirted with the porter, how she flirted with a security guard etc.
"Shouldn't have taken away the jalebis man... But still she shouldn't have done that. In front of her own husband!"
"Err... I think that was the point... Anyway, she felt bad afterwards and apologised-"
"So you won?"
"Hmmph, no. It's never that simple with your sister."
"Oh my days, arnavji this story is not simple."
"Yeah, well it gets more complicated, because your sister realised at the same moment as we arrived at the hotel, that I hadn't apologised yet."
"Uh-oh... So say sorry then... Simple. You didn't have to call to figure that out. I'm sure you would have realised in a day or two..."
"I did say sorry."
"Then?"
"Then we went into the suite and Aman phoned, on khushi's phone."
"That'd do it."
Arnav was confused.
"What would?"
"Doing business on your honeymoon."
"Do you remember how no one could contact me and Akash for a week when we left for our honeymoon except by email?... Because the phone had accidentally fallen into the sea while we were on a boat ride... And Aman couldn't get through to us?"
"Yeah..."
"You think that was by accident? Aman kept calling on the first day and calling and calling... My first night on MY honeymoon was spent in bed, while my husband worked on his laptop. The next day I was so annoyed that I, "by mistake" dropped his phone in the sea."
"So then, Akash getting a virus on his computer..." Arnav asked.
"Well, I backed up everything on iCloud and then i switched his firewall off while I streamed tv programmes from the dodgiest site I knew...the virus was bound to happen."
Arnav was speechless.
"Wow."
"You never mess with a girls honeymoon. Ever."
"Ah... Well, Aman called and he told me he couldn't get through to me on my phone, so I checked my phone and it was dead, then I tried charging it and nothing. So I checked the battery. Khushi had taken it out and hidden it."
Payal could see where this was going
"Arnavji. Please tell me you didn't."
"I might have..."
"How bad?"
"I don't know, I haven't yelled like that since I first saw her."
"Oh god! Arnav! Is that why she's angry?"
"Pretty much."
"Right. I'm getting more popcorn. This is going to be a long night..."
