Chapter 1
There ws a reason of extreme happiness in bth the families, the Raizadas and the Guptas.. Both the families were at hospital and were congratulating each other, distributing sweets and sharing their happiness with each other.. At one room Maya Singh Raizada was present with his son who had great charm in his face frm the day of his birth and the another room just opposite to the previous room, Garima Gupta was lying on the bed with a baby girl with milky white skin and cute little face just nxt to her..
Gaurav Singh Raizada ( Arnav's grandfather) and Jagdish Gupta ( Khushi's grandfather) were feeding sweet to each other and were hugging each other.. They were really happy for each other and for themselves too. Arnav ws born just an hour before Khushi. Gaurav and Jagdish were best friends and now they were aware that the newly born children are gonna take their frienship to another generation just like their sons did.
After three days both the ladies got discharged and were taken home. On the other hand all the member of their family were busy preparing for the puja which would be held after five days. They all wanted that puja to be a grand one as they were introducing their grandchildren to the world.. After five days on the puja day, Gaurav and Jagdish were having discussion on a serious topic. They were thinking of taking their and their son's frienship to the nxt level. They were like a family bt they decided to be a fmily. In short they decided that when Arnav and Khushi will grow up they'll get them married. They concluded this and also gathered other family members to share their views. All were very happy listening this.. They all accepted this as soon as they heard this.. So this ws fixed on the 9th day of their birth that they'll be marrying each other in the future..
Time started running and they bth gradually grew up with each other.. They were four years very soon.. Nobody knew when the time flew so soon and the children were already four years.. Both the families wre very happy and love to look after the little ones. Payal, NK and Anjali would be most of the time after their siblings to look after them so that they dnt get hurt.. Anjali ws quite older than NK and Payal bt they loved to be with her.. Anjali also loved them a lot and used to take great care of them bt they lil ones never needed their elders. They were happy with each other and needed nobody else and they were Arnav and Khushi.
The friendship which ws between the Guptas and Raizadas has grew a generation old with Arnav and Khushi.. They both loved each others company very much and most of the time they were found together.. They were not like the other children. They never fought. They loved each others presence and if the one of them was away for even a minute the other would start crying.. From the morning to evening they used to be together.. Either Arnav would be at GH or Khushi would be at RM.. No matter what time it ws but they always used to be together.. So the families were really happy for the decision they had made abt their marriage.. They could see that these two will always remain the same and they really were the soul mates.. The elders were really happy for what they have decided for the children.. They could see from then that the decision they had taken will surely work out bt they had also decided that they'll let Arnav and Khushi decide this matter once they grew up as they didn't want to force them to follow the same that the elders had decided.. They had decided that they'll let the lil ones decide for their life.. Amar and Sashi wre really happy and proud of the decision their father had taken four years back but they missed them too.. Gaurav and Jagdish died in between this time due to their health matter and their family members really missed them..
Maya and Garima considered each other really lucky. They looked after the children whole heartedly.. The closeness between these children have brought these two ladies more close to each other. They were like sisters and also good friends. They were also very happy with the growing closeness between these two children. All the children used to be together and Anjali too used to be with them. She ws the eldest and big enough to look after the small ones so the mothers never had to worry abt the children.
On the other hand the children were growing and so ws their friendship. Arnav and Khushi were already 16. They were admitted to the same school and they were on the same section too. Their friendship went on deepening by the passing time. As Arnav used to act a bit matured he used to protect Khushi from the other children.. He used to act as if Khushi ws not only his best friend but also his responsibility. They both were very good at studies and every other thing be it sports or any other extra curricular activities they were the best.
Payal and NK were also the same.. They were also growing with the time bt in their case the shyness between them ws growing too.. They knew each other since childhood bt they were really shy.. Khushi and Arnav were on the 8th grade and they were on the 12th.. The more the time changed the more they were more and more shy and there ws a reason for this shyness and that ws they had already fallen for each other.. NK ws a handsome hunk on class and many girls were crazy on him he also talked with them and spent a lots of time which made Payal think she was not his kinda girl bt truth was sth else..
Anjali by that time ws married to Shyaam and living with him. They had an arranged marriage. They loved each other very much. Shyaam ws a kind guy and respected her very much. He was not very rich bt had promised himself that he would fulfill each and every needs of his wife and so he worked very hard. Anjali and Shyaam used to visit RM every weekend.. They used to spend some quality time with their family and siblings every weekend.
At home all the youngster were always found together be it at RM or GH bt they all were always together.. Each of them used to share each and every things with each and used to have fun.. Khushi and Payal were also really close and she by that time knew that Payal ws crazy for her brother so used to tease her.. She never told this to Arnav as she had promised Payal not to tell anybody else..
There were sth which Arnav and Khushi just wanted to keep amongst themselves only so when they wanted some privacy they used to go to their common balcony.. Gupta's and Raizada's house were joined through a small balcony.. They had a common small balcony which connected Arnav's and Khushi's bedroom.. Nobody used to come to that balcony so whenever these two had to share sth very secret they used to be there.. They spent hours and hours on the same balcony taking silly things and nobody came there to disturb them..
Aakash visited RM many times during these years.. He also had a crush on Khushi bt Khushi always avoided being alone with him.. She used to hate being left out alone him and she didn't knw why.. When Khushi and Aakash were left together she used to make some excuses and leave him alone and went with Arnav. Arnav also found this act of her strange bt never asked her the reason bcoz he knew she had some serious problem with Aakash. It ws not tht she hated him or acted rude to him.. She infact ws very sweet and used to talk a loads with him too bt she avoided being only with him.. If Arnav or anybody else waas present there she ws okay bt if she ws alone she used to escape from there. Aakash used to be upset with this behavior of her bt didn't really mind that.
Udne Ki Aasha
