ArHi- Zindagi Gulzar Hai|Chap14 on Pg61- 22/9 - Page 28

Arnav stands at the entrance of Dargah, Taking in the view ahead of him which was very simply decorated with flowers and all with Small shops and a far away's view of the beautiful architecture of a Building Which was Actually the Dargah. while on the other hand Khushi Looks ahead and Adjusts her Duppata on her head and Moves in.

There were many people around.. Holding their Hands up for Prayers, Some Talking to others and Some carrying away the Precious Veil yet the place was So calm and Soothing. And a Rhythmic Voice of Kafi (a Sufi poetry kind) could be heard.

Arnav quietly moved in Copying the people who were performing the necessities. Khushi bought the Chaddar and Flowers lost in her thoughts and Moved In Dargah, where the place dark yet the Natural light from outside was peeping in through the very well carved and ancient walls.

Khushi passed the Basket to the man standing on a side of the tomb and Bowed a very little and Went away to tie the lock on the wall. Arnav came in and gave the basket that contained the Chaddar and Flowers to the Same man and Bowed Down before leaving to tie the lock.

Khushi tied the thread with the lock and so did Arnav, but Neither of them recognised eachother's presence because of the wall in between them and went back to Pray. Khushi Sighed, Joing her hands together to pray,

"I Don't know If I would get anything that Pray for.. Because I can no more wait like a little girl of Six years for her wish to come true when she wakes up the next day but Still if You, the God has to listen to me than Please Show me the Sign that can vanish the sorrows that I have in my Heart, Which are not ready to part away from me since my childhood. A Single Sign? But.. Oh No! that can never happen right? Happiness for the Already happy people and Difficulties for the already miserable ones. That's Life!" She open her eyes and Got up to leave.

Arnav silently looked up at te ceiling not knowing how to Make That God listen to him thought he didn't need to but this case is a serious dude!,

Both came out and Were leaving When Khushi's Duppata Dropped from her Head to her neck and almost strangled her So She turned around to see the cause and Saw Arnav standing there With his one hand covering his face with a cute look, "Cut that", She mentally scolded herself at the thought.

"YOU!" Khushi began shouting at him in anger when he pointed towards his hand.

Her Duppata was Stuck in his Watch. He gave her a sheepish grin receiving a deathly glare in return and She came near him to get rid of him She Shuddered and Streched his Hand towards her and She made sure that she didn't touch his hand and tried all her might, but Couldn't undo that.

"Mein ne already try Kiya tha!" [I already tried!], he told her. but Seeing her getting ready burst again in anger He offered, "I'll do it.. again!"

Arnav tried smoothly but at last pulled it out tearing a bit of her duppata and smirked.

"Why do keep crossing my way?" Khushi frowned seeing her Dress.

"hey! Wit-" he paused to realise what he was gonna say and resumed, "Whatever! i don't do that intentionally and Its not your home.. Its a public place for your kind information!."

"Oh As If I don't know!"

"Exactly!"

"What the hell.. "

"Wrong.. Its World!"

She looked up at him and glared again, "Cant you shut up?!"

"I'll once you do.. You know, ladies First!" he said.

"Malik!"

"Gupta!"

"What-"

"The!" he completed her sentence in his way.

"What do you think of-" She shouted at him but he interrupted.

"You? Um.. You're Ok. Not as Beautiful as Others. Erm.. Good in Studies and-" that was it Khushi cut him of and Spoke,

"I didn't ask you about me!" She gritted her teeth in anger While Arnav grinned seeing her.

"I Don't want to see your face!" She said and stomped her foot Turing to leave.

"Neither Do I!" he screamed making sure she heard him and chuckled seeing her irritation. but Soon Hit his fist on the other palm realising what he did.

"damnit!"

As Soon as Arnav Entered he saw Abhaas talking to his dad.

"hello Sir!" he greeted.

"You can call me Uncle here.. You know." Abhaas said.

"really? I thought I was banned to call you uncle ever again!" Arnav said sulking down on the Sofa next to his dad.

"look at him!" Abhaas lamented gesturing towards Arnav, "He'll keep joking around While Khushi would take away the label of the topper of the year!"

"No ways Uncle!" Arnav Spoke Confidently.

"Whatever happens.. I support my Son!" Aarav's words depicted his proud as he patted Arnav's shoulders lovingly and Arnav just stared at him.
