Anjali sat in their bed cooing over her
baby, when Shyam’s phone beside her blinked, she glanced at the bathroom door
to see if he is coming or not. Taking the phone she pressed answer button and
kept it near her ear.
‘Hello Shyam!!!’ a sexy voice greeted
her, Anjali could not utter a word, when she started to say hello the voice
again crooned ‘Sweet heart what are you doing? I’m waiting for you here? Don’t
make me wait more. What is taking your time to come to me? Where are you now?’
Anjali sat shock; the voice went on
saying sweet nothings. ‘Shyam, darling, Love are you there’ and click the call
ended.
Payal came inside ‘Di I need help from
you in kitchen, can you please come down’
Anjali still in shock nodded at her
‘Ji!!!’ she taking her baby went down with Payal. As soon as they both went out
Akash hurriedly came inside and deleted the number from call log.
Coming out of the room he thumped up
towards his family. Akash came up to his family where Lavanya too had come RM
to visit them all ‘Good Lavanya it’s working’
Lavanya smirked ‘Shyam Manohar Jha will
not know what hit him’ winking at NK. All chuckled but underlying fury could
not be missed.
Khushi ‘Arnav ji!!!’
Arnav ‘yes Khushi’
Sitting beside him putting her head on
his shoulder hugging his arms ‘I feel like eating gol gappe’
Arnav raised his eye brows ‘gol gappe?’
Khushi ‘hmmm yes’
Arnav ‘but it is not good for your
health Khushi, outside it will not be hygienic and I don’t know how to make it
too’
Khushi ‘please for once, I want to eat gol
gappe *pouting* I know a shop in LaxmiNagar where we can get tasty gol gappe and
it will be hygienic too’
Arnav looked at her pouting face, Khushi
‘please!!!’ how can he refuse her. Nodding at her he took her to LaxmiNagar
market.
After his scrutinizing inspection and
instruction to gol gappe vendor he got all clean and hygienic plate of gol
gappe. Khushi smiling at him gorged down the gol gappe slowly on Arnav’s
concerned words on asking her to eat slowly. The vendor and others were
surprised to see Arnav behaving this way, vendor looked at the 500 rs note for
one plate gol gappe he made as instructed by Arnav. But the golgappe plate made
by as Arnav said was not an easy task for him too with Arnav hovering around
asking him to clean the plate again and again, asking him to wash his hands
with dettol handwash or to pesterising him to use sanitizer and the way Arnav
bought him handwash and sanitizer and the gloves asking him to wear while
serving made the vendor and other’s eyes around to pop out with Khushi giggling
all the way looking at Arnav’s demanding demeaner for one plate of golgappe,
all the way enjoying the scene patting her baby growing inside her stomach.
Arnav even went beyond these asking the vendor if the water with which he
prepared pani for the puris are hygienic or not, how he made the puri, is the
oil a good one? If not for Khushi dragged Arnav back admonishing him to stop
pestering the vendor, then the vendor would have ran away closing his shop for
that day. No one had ever visited such a freaking husband who is inspecting one
plate of golgappe so much before he let his wife to eat but as they saw and
heard between the couple they can understand and guessed about they are
expecting the baby and the couple are new for all this pregnancy jittery.
Khushi all happy with her carvings being
fulfilled walked with Arnav looking around the market, she stopped by vegetable
vendor and bargained for Arnav’s favourite karela, and then for some onion,
potato and cauliflower.
After buying all the needed vegetables
and green leaves Khushi and Arnav walked over when a voice stopped them.
Garima stood looking at Khushi to turn
towards her; Arnav held Khushi shoulder when she became tensed hearing Garima
call her ‘Khushi bitiya!!!’
Garima came to them with tears in her
eyes, stopping before them she looked at Khushi ‘how are you bitiya?’
Arnav felt his heart drop to dread for
Khushi’s reaction; Khushi opened her mouth ‘I’m fine Amma’ Arnav’s head snapped
at her surprised. She is responding to
her mother calmly.
Garima hugged her crying ‘Khushi!!! I’m
sorry Khushi, forgive your Amma’
Khushi pulling away, her own eyes
tearing up, wiping her Amma’s tears ‘it is okay now’
Garima looking down at her four month
stomach which has little budge, gasping ‘how is the little one inside? Payalia
told me you are pregnant’
Khushi patting her stomach lovingly ‘baby
is all fine’
Garima looking at Khushi clutching her
hand ‘Khushi bitiya come to home beta, your babuji and buaji will be happy to
see you. They all so much wanted to meet you but….’ Shaking her head.
Khushi looked at Arnav, Garima ‘please
Arnav bitwa come home and have lunch with us, spend some time with us’
Arnav ‘Khushi what do you wish?’
Khushi ‘I..I…is it okay if we meet them?’
Arnav cupping her face ‘anything you
wish. Come let us go visit your babuji and buaji too, they will be happy to see
you back’
Garima smiled at them, all went towards
Gupta house in Arnav’s car.
Buaji gasped in shock seeing Khushi in
front of them, rushing over she cupped Khushi’s face ‘Khushi!!!! oh God Garima
Khushi is really here’
Garima ‘yes jiji’
Buaji ‘Khushi please forgive me’ folding
her hands in front of her, Khushi clutching her hand shook her head negatively.
Babuji cried seeing his daughter after
months, Khushi hugged all of them, Arnav and Khushi were blessed for their
happy life.
In another twenty minutes Khushi got
surprise shock to see Akash and Payal coming inside the house, Payal hugged
Khushi tightly ‘I could not control myself from coming here when Arnavji said
to Akash you both are here’
Payal cupping her face ‘I’m so sorry
Khushi’
Khushi ‘please jiji don’t say that…I’m
sorry too for my behaviour towards all of you in the past’
Buaji ‘no bitiya’
Akash ‘now let go of the past and
welcome the future and live the present’ smiling at everyone. All nodded at him
agreeing to his words.
It was good to see the ice thwarted
between his Khushi and her family, looking at her laughing at something buaji
saying is heart-warming one. All happy and is together now, only his family is
left out expect Akash and soon they too will be reunited with Khushi, he can
see Khushi accepting them all again in her life.
Smiling at her from far Arnav gave his
attention on her words she is asking to Payal ‘jiji how is everyone at home?’
Payal ‘everyone is fine Khushi. Nani,
Maami everyone are so much looking forward to meet you’
Khushi turned to Arnav ‘Arnavji why
don’t we invite our family to home one day for lunch or dinner’
Arnav stunned looked at her; he expected
her to meet with their family in coming days but never thought it to be soon.
Akash ‘Why not Khushiji? Once discussing
with everyone at home will inform you when everyone will be available for
family get together’
Payal ‘everyone will be thrilled Akash’
Akash nodding at her ‘yes’ Khushi smiled
back at them and hugged Arnav sideways.
Arnav caressing her hair ‘Khushi’
Khushi ‘ji’
Arnav ‘are you sure you want to meet our
family members?’
Khushi looking at him from his chest
‘yes!!! why? Don’t you want to?’
Arnav ‘no......no..... I would love to,
it has been months since I saw them other than Akash and NK in office’
Khushi ‘hmmm’ making design of her own
accord above his shirt, Arnav ‘I always wanted to see you with them all like
again’
Khushi ‘sachhh?’
Arnav ‘yes they all missed you lot,
always asked about you and wanted to meet you. I only stopped them’
Khushi ‘Oh!!!’
Arnav ‘they would be all happy to see
you. We will be all together like a happy family like before’
Khushi stilled, she got tensed, and
Arnav sensing her tense form patted her back ‘what happened Khushi?’
Khushi ‘I…I…’
Arnav ‘haan….’
Khushi ‘I don’t want to go to that
house’
Arnav stilled, Khushi shaking her head
‘I don’t want to go there, please’
Arnav feeling his shirt getting wet, sat
up taking Khushi in his laps ‘Shhh Khushi….you don’t need to cry for this…’
Khushi ‘no I don’t want to go there and
live. We will not live there, I don’t want to. They can come and meet us but we
will not go there and live…..please I don’t want to’
Arnav cupping her face wiping her tears
‘Shh Khushi, no one is going to Shantivan and live. How can I not listen to my
Khushi? Don’t worry I’m not planning to go and live in Shantivan. And I like to
be here with you, only you and me and our chotti is duniya’
Khushi ‘yes only you, me and our chotti
si duniya’

Khushi ‘Arnavji did you bring the sweets
I asked you to’
Arnav ‘haan Khushi, everything is
ready.’
Khushi ‘achha tikkai’
Arnav ‘Khushi come sit here, I’ll do the
work tell me what should I do, you should not strain yourself’
Khushi ‘it is al-right Arnavji, it is
over’
Arnav ‘okay come sit, here first drink
this’
Khushi took the glass of juice from his
hands smiling at him.
Khushi ‘Arnavji’
Arnav ‘hmmm’
Khushi ‘have I ever told you how much I
love you?’
Arnav stilled, his heart beat racing,
whispering softly ‘I guess not’
Khushi ‘I love you so much’
Arnav hugging her kissing her cheeks
‘and I love you too’
Raizada’s and Gupta’s came inside
Arnav’s flat along with NK and Lavanya, Khushi and Arnav welcomed them all in
their home with a smile.
Nani cupping her face ‘Khushi bitiya how
are you?’
Khushi smiling ‘I’m fine Naniji’
Maami ‘hello hi bye bye this is for you
phati saree’ she gave gift of parcel for her which held pretty necklace in it,
Khushi looked at it surprise, Maami ‘what are you looking at lo’
Khushi looked over at Arnav who nodded
at her; thanking Maami ji she took the gift. Nani too brought her gift of a
beautiful Kangan. Payal with Akash a beautiful diamond earring set. Lavanya gifted
her splendid Antique set.
Khushi looking at the gift ‘what is the
need of all this?’
Garima ‘oh this is needed, a shagun from
all’
Buaji coming to her ‘yes, and here see
this’ she showed a beautiful tiny pair of anklets and bracelet for the baby.
Garima
‘we don’t know if it is boy or girl, so bought for both, and even it can
be used for both na’ all nodded at her.
Khushi touched the gift in awe patting
her stomach, Arnav smiled holding her shoulder. Khushi ‘Arnavji look our baby
will be looking cute in this na’
Arnav ‘yes Khushi, very much’
After the lunch, all settled down
chatting away merrily happy with all being at one place together. Khushi looked
at Lavanya time to time. Lavanya seeing her stare from quite some time took
Khushi aside.
Lavanaya ‘what is it Khushi? You look
tensed’
Khushi held her hands ‘woh…I’m sorry for
that day…I don’t know what came over me…I’m really sor…’
Lavanya cupping her face ‘Gosh Khushi,
why are you asking for sorry when there is no fault of yours. I understand you
perfectly well. And I did not take it to heart, I was shocked and felt bad
little but when Akash told me how much you are in pain, I understood my friends
needs time to come around, so I waited and see now all is fine na’
Khushi nodded at her smiling, Lavanya
‘and Khushi there is something I want to tell you, er…I had refrained from
everyone telling you this since I wished to give you this news’
Khushi curiously ‘what is it?’
Lavanya ‘I’m getting engaged soon’
Khushi shocked ‘what? Who is the guy?’
Lavanya ‘you know him, we met, bumped
into each other and our heart got exchanged, and after knowing him well and
confessing our love to each other we are ready to tie the knot. Family too is
excited on this news’
Khushi ‘really who is he? You said I
know him’
Lavanya ‘yeah you know him very well, in
fact he is your best friend Nanhe’
Khushi squealed in happiness ‘Devi Maya
Nanhe ji, really Lavanyaji’
Lavanya ‘yes Khushi’ Khushi looked at
blushing Lavanya and then at NK who is talking with Arnav, Akash and Mamaji.
Khushi ‘he is good guy and will keep you
happy’
Lavanya ‘I know’
Khushi and Lavanya reached the group,
Lavanya took her seat beside NK, and Khushi beside Arnav, and all are sitting
in pair. Khushi ‘Nanheji you did not tell me that you and Lavanyaji’
NK blushed, Khushi ‘but why did you go
to Sydney suddenly’
NK dramatically with a sigh ‘what to do
you broke my heart Khushiji’
Khushi shocked ‘what?’
NK ‘you married Nanav na’ all rofled
hearing his reply expect Arnav who gritted his teeth ‘NK!!!’
Khushi giggled seeing Arnav’s
possessiveness, he put his hand around her shoulder bringing her close to him.
Arnav ‘Lavanya I’ll not be responsible if your boyfriend goes with a broken
nose from here’
NK ‘gosh Nanav I was just kidding, and
don’t be angry now, Khushiji is my bhabi, okay. Anyways I’m quite happy to be
committed to this beautiful gorgeous lady sitting beside me * and grinned at
Lavanya*’
Arnav ‘good for you’
Khushi ‘Arnavji aap bhi na, Nanhe ji mazak
kar rahe the’ all laughed seeing Arnav’s grumpy face. It was a good family time
only Anjali was missing. All missed her but they are quite happy to see Khushi
is happy and content. Her face radiating with smile, Arnav did not fail to
notice her not asking about Di and she did not even miss her, as if she is okay
about her not coming. All he could do was sighing. He knew they both needed
time and soon both will be with together sharing the same rapport or more than
what they shared before their marriage.
While leaving, Akash ‘bhai everything is
set for the plan to be excited’
Arnav ‘hmmm I want that bas**** out of
Di’s life soon’
Akash ‘he will be bhai’
Arnav ‘keep me in loop’
Akash ‘I’ll be bhai’
Buaji ‘hai re Nandhkishore, titaliya
I’ll come after two days, okay’
Khushi ‘ji buaji’
All Gupta’s, Raizada’s, NK and Lavanya
left Arnav-Khushi’s home after having wonderful family time. Khushi after
closing the door came to Arnav; he pulled her to sit beside him on the couch.
Khushi ‘it was good na’
Arnav ‘yes, did you enjoyed Khushi?’
Khushi ‘oh very much Arnavji, I’m happy’
Arnav ‘Good!!! Khushi are you okay with
buaji staying here’
Khushi looking up at him ‘I’m okay with
her staying here Arnavji. They are worried for me and wants someone motherly
figure to be with me. So buaji decided to be with us till our baby comes to the
world, in our small little world. And Maami, Nani, Amma are quite relieved when
I accepted for buaji to be here with us’
Arnav ‘hmmm’
Khushi ‘and you can be assured and feel
content to know that some is at home with me when you are at office’
Arnav ‘yes you are right’
Anjali after the call had then noticed
her husband Shyam giggling over the phone more than often. And Shyam on the
other hand not knowing he was being played by Lavanya and Raizada’s is all lost
in his dream world which is nothing but a mirage created by Good against Evil.
All started from one such day that Lavanya as per the plan made a call to him
like a wrong number then making it take route of right path extending
continuous calls and throwing over the bone towards greedy Shyam of her well
off family lie. Shyam Manohar Jha fell on their trap like hook, line, and
sinker.
Shyam sickly sweet voice ‘Kriya when are
we going to meet?’
Lavanya/ Kriya ‘Soon baby soon and now
I’m ready to meet you, in fact I’m convinced of our love’
Shyam ‘Really?’
Lavanaya/ Kriya gritting her teeth ‘I
too want to see my Love’ NK sniggered beside her. Lavanya smacked him on his
head.
Shyam ‘then when will we meet and
where?’
Lavanya/ Kriya ‘today at Blue Moon
Hotel’
Shyam ‘today?’
Lavanya ‘yes today itself, I can’t wait
more’
Shyam ‘okay then I’ll be there’
Lavanya ‘at 6 pm’
Shyam ‘sure 6 pm then’
Anjali came to room with his tea to hear
him say sweetly to the caller on the phone something, cutting the call he
looked back to get shock to see Anjali standing before him.
Anjali seeing his pale face stood silent,
Shyam ‘Rani Sahiba when did you come?’
Anjali ‘Just now. Why? I came to give
you your tea’
Shyam smiling at her and inwardly in
relief ‘Thank you Rani Sahiba I was going to call you for the same’
Anjali nodded at him and went out
confused on the one side conversation she heard.
Lavanya and NK moving out of RM in their
car stopped at the road beside Raizada Mansion gate where Anjali Jha is
standing looking for an auto.
NK stopping the car beside her ‘Di what
are you doing here?’
Anjali stuttering ‘NK bhai..woh..I’m
going to see my friend in Blue Moon Hotel’
NK ‘is it? But why alone Di? You could
have taken one of our car?’
Anjali ‘but there was no car available,
one of our car is at service centre, one Akash is using and still not returned
from office and another one Shyamji has went somewhere’
NK ‘Oh!!! Then come Di I’ll drop you’
Anjali ‘what no? I would asked you
before itself na to drop me in your car but I did not want to spoil your date
with Lavanya’
Lavanya ‘ofpho Di, come get in, we will
drop you there and beside we did not decide on which restaurant we will go, if
you are heading to Blue Moon then we too will have our date in the Blue Moon
Hotel restaurant, you can have your time with your friend and we all can come
together back home’
Anjali looked at her wide eye, NK ‘get
in Di I’m not going to let you go alone’
Anjali quickly got in not wanting to
waste her time. After travelling for hour they came to stop by the Blue Moon
Hotel. The three got inside the hotel.
NK ‘Di where is your friend?’
Anjali ‘oh she will be here, maybe she
is yet not arrived’
NK ‘okay Di we will wait’
Anjali ‘what? No, you both go enjoy your
date’
Lavanya ‘are you sure?’
Anjali ‘yes yes’ nodding at her both
went towards the restaurant area but stopped little behind Anjali hiding from
her sight, Anjali looking all over the place to spot Shyam on her way.
Shyam oblivious anything went straight
to the girl he came looking for, spotting her by the identity she said to him.
Anjali looked wide eye at spotting him walking over to that girl and hugging
her.
NK and Lavanya grinned devilishly
looking at each other. Shyam is gone, and
the girl they hired is doing her job perfectly.
Shyam was very much floored at the
beautiful sexy girl stood before him. He never though he will get such a beauty
with very rich back ground. He grinned slyly.
Girl/Kriya ‘Shyam I never thought you
will be so handsome and charming’
Shyam sweetly ‘thank you and you are so
beautiful’
Kriya ‘really’ battling her eye lashes,
clutching his hands ‘shall we go dine out in the restaurant’
Shyam ‘yes come this way’
Anjali followed them behind and took a
seat little away from them but not so close to give it away to Shyam that she
is here. She could hear their conversation clearly; her insides twisted
painfully seeing her husband flirting with that girl.
Both Shyam and the girl stood up and
started to walk away, confused she too got up to go behind them. Following them
she reached one of the rooms. She could not believe her husband whom she
worshiped like God is inside a room with a girl alone.
After painful few minutes of her
thoughts she banged on the door, the sexy voice of the girl came from inside
‘who is this disturbing us now baby?’
Shyam ‘wait sweet heart let me see who
is this, may be room service is here’
The girl sly nodded at him, Shyam opened
the door to get shocked. Anjali standing before him with tears rolling down her
cheek, Anjali looked at her shirtless husband and lipstick mark all over his
face.
Anjali turning her face away ‘Chi!!!’
The girl’s voice came from behind ‘who
is it baby? What taking you so long?’ she came beside him and hugging him
sideways. Shyam gulped and pushed the girl aside.
Girl taken aback but did her part well
‘darling what is it?’
Shyam looked at Anjali with wide eyes
and pale face. Anjali looked at him in disgust and left from there with Shyam
following after her with now his shirts on.
Anjali bumped into NK and Lavanya, NK
concerned ‘Di!!!’
Anjali ‘NK bhai let’s go home, I want to
go home’
Shyam came running ‘Rani Sahiba listen
to me’
Anjali shouting ‘NK bhai I said I want
to go home’ NK and La looked at each other, the three left in their car with
Shyam frustrated running his hand on his hair looking at the zooming car ahead
in far.

Part

All way Anjali cried, cried and cried at
the betrayal she received at the hand of her husband. Lavanya was consoling her
sitting beside her at the back seat. NK looked on helpless.
Their car stopped at traffic signal.
Anjali wiping her tears, kept her head resting on the window gazed out with
tears however continuously flowing again and again stubbornly.
Her eyes came to halt looking at the two
people walking on the pavement. Arnav and Khushi arm in arm walking towards
their car, Arnav like always had took Khushi out and is now walking on the
pavement to reach the car parked little ahead in the parking area.
Khushi with cut mango slice with a
little chilli, salt mixed in her one hand and other holding his arm. Arnav
looked down at her smiling, she is happy to eat those mangoes.
Khushi ‘oh Arnavji these are so yummy’
Arnav ‘you like it’
Khushi grinned ‘yes very much. Will you
buy me these daily? Please’
Arnav ‘Khushi it has chilli spread on
it, may be once or twice in a week’
Khushi ‘really thank you. Have one’ she
forwarded a piece towards his mouth; he bit on to the piece with Khushi
watching his expression closely. Arnav looked at her ‘hmmm nice’
Khushi ‘haina I know you will like it
too’
Arnav ‘yes!!!’
Khushi ‘will ask buaji to make it for me
or I can it make it myself too if you guys allow me to do, it is simple, cut
the mango and sprinkle some chilli and salt powder, then it will be so yummy to
eat’
Arnav laughed ‘done, I’ll stock few
mangos in our kitchen cabinet but you should not eat like there is no tomorrow,
one piece a day is okay, and I mean one piece not one mango’
Khushi ‘uffo Arnavji, okay I will,
anyways buaji’s pickle haina, usse kam chal jaiga mera’
Arnav grinned shaking his head, he
flickered her nose Oh Khushi!!!
Anjali wept some more looking at her
brother crossing the road in front of her but she is unable to call out for
him, she needs her brother more now but he seems happy in his world.
Nani, Maami and Payal along with Lavanya
were consoling Anjali who is bawling her eyes out. Akash had already called
Arnav about the plan is success and Anjali had seen what they wanted her to
see.
Shyam came inside RM, still has the guts
to come into lion’s den. Shyam running over to Anjali ‘Rani Sahiba you are
misunderstanding me, I was not at fault, that girl asked me to come there for a
client meeting and started misbehaving with me, she was trying to trap me. I
was coming out of the room pushing her when you came…I’m sorry Rani Sahiba you
have to see this but believe me I did nothing wrong’
Anjali heard his words calmly and gave
him a tight slap, she shouted at the top of her voice showing photos of him
with random girls and his accounts of illegal business.
Anjali ‘I’m now well aware of your true
face Shyam Manohar Jha, don’t fake anymore’
Shyam shocked ‘Rani Sahiba’ another
slap.
Anjali ‘Anjali Raizada, you will soon
get divorce paper signed by me’ turning to NK and Akash ‘I don’t want this man
in front of me’
Akash and NK dragged him out ‘we would
have loved to beat you to death but don’t want our hands to get dirty, so you
are lucky to get escaped from us but not from them’ they threw him towards
police man waiting for to handover Shyam to them. Shyam shouting furiously went
with police.
Anjali collapsed crying, Nani, Maami,
Payal, NK, Lavanya and Akash settled her in her room calling for doctor.
Akash ‘she is fine bhai. Doctor has
checked on her’
Arnav ‘I don’t feel good Akash, Di is on
one side and Khushi on the other’
Akash ‘it is okay bhai, we all are here
for Di but Khushi ji needs you. Waise di will come to conscious only tomorrow,
so you can come and see her tomorrow’
Arnav ‘okay Akash’
Arnav cut the call and went to Khushi
who is sleeping; she searched for him trying to snuggle, missing his warmth,
not feeling what she wished she frowned. Arnav rushed to her lying besides her
taking her in his arms. Khushi relaxed in her sleep. Kissing her head lovingly
he slipped into disturbed sleep.
Next morning, after having done with
breakfast, he looked at buaji who nodded at him. Arnav ‘Khushi!!!’
Khushi looking up at him ‘Ji’
Arnav ‘Khushi, Di came to know about
Shyam’s real face’
Khushi looked down, Arnav gulping ‘and
Shyam has been handed over to police’
Khushi nodded at him ‘he deserve that
place, how is she?’
Arnav ‘she is completely broken now’
Khushi ‘she loved him’
Arnav nodded ‘Khushi I thought to go and
see her’
Khushi ‘okay, she needs you too’
Arnav hugging her ‘thank you Khushi’
Khushi ‘ji......You will return na?’ the
fear in her voice cannot be unnoticed. Arnav looked at her hopeful face,
kissing her forehead ‘I’ll return back to my Khushi and our baby’
Khushi ‘I’ll wait for you’ Arnav nodded
at her ‘buaji is here, if you need anything call me okay’
Khushi nodded at him like an obedient
child, Arnav ‘and have lunch and medicine on time, I’ll come back soon’
Khushi ‘Ji!!!’ Arnav then got ready and
went to RM but not before reassuring his wife.
Buaji keeping her hands on Khushi’s head
‘don’t worry titaliya Arnav bitwa will come soon’
Khushi ‘I know I just don’t want to go
there’
Buaji ‘I understand it titaliya, even
Arnav bitwa does, there is not good memories you have for good past months’
Khushi nodded.
Buaji ‘everything will be fine, Anjali
bitiya too will be fine’
Arnav had reached RM and is now sitting
with his crying Anjali who wept all over him. Anjali ‘Chotte I loved him lot,
how can he do this to me?’
Arnav ‘Shh Di just forget him. He is not
worth of you. You have all of us and you need to move on for your daughter Aastha.
She needs you; don’t let him ruin your precious moment with your daughter in
shedding tears for that man’
Anjali nodded at him, taking hold of his
hand Anjali ‘I’m sorry Chotte, so sorry, because of me you and Khushiji had to
go through so much’
Arnav tightening the hold ‘no Di all is
fine now, he is out of your life and you are safe’
Anjali ‘come back home Chotte’
Arnav smile dimmed ‘Di I’m sorry but
until Khushi wishes to come here I cannot come to RM…please Di’
Anjali ‘why? Now she is all fine, right?
And she needs care in this stage’
Arnav ‘haan Di but she is yet not ready
to step into RM where she has many bad memories and I too think it is better
for living there….and about giving care and attention I’m there for her and
also buaji too is with us for help’
Anjali ‘buaji is living with you both?’
Arnav ‘haan Di she has come to live with
us to take care of Khushi’
Anjali ‘all had united only I was left
out and last’
Arnav ‘don’t say like this Di’ Anjali
smiled at him sadly. They spent some sibling’s time, and Arnav played with
Aasha.
Around 8.30 pm, Arnav’s phone rang,
Arnav ‘buaji, is everything okay? Is Khushi okay? Did she have her dinner and
medicines? Is she still awake?’
Buaji ‘woh babua, when are you coming
home?’
Arnav ‘What happened buaji?’
Buaji ‘babua Khushi is waiting for you,
she still had not taken her dinner and lunch too had little amount only, she
just played with the food, no amount of cajoling did any work on her. Any
moment she will explode in tears is what I’m afraid’
Arnav gulped ‘where is she?’
Buaji ‘she is in her room’
Arnav ‘I’m coming buaji, don’t worry’
Buaji ‘tik hai babua’
Arnav came towards his sister and family
member ‘I need to leave, it’s late’
Payal ‘Arnavji is everything alright?’
Arnav smiling ‘yeah everything is
alright, buaji just called me to ask when I’ll be reaching home’
Nani understanding ‘you go bitwa Khushi
will be waiting for you’
Arnav looked at Anjali ‘Di I’m leaving,
and don’t cry for that man, okay. you have your daughter who needs you and we
all are here for you both, right?’ Anjali nodded at him.
Arnav came inside the room with plate
full of food; he looked at Khushi who is dozing off in sitting position on the
recliner waiting for him. He sat beside her, taking her in his lap waked her
‘Khushi’
Khushi ‘hmmmm’
Arnav ‘Khushi wake up you need to have
dinner’
Khushi pouted at him trying to settle
herself comfortably, Arnav ‘please Love you need to have dinner and medicine’
Khushi ‘later!!!’
Arnav ‘not later, abhi please for me and
baby’
Khushi peered opened her foggy eyes ‘you
came but late’
Arnav ‘sorry but I did come back to you
and our baby, right?’ Khushi nodded at him. Arnav taking the plate in his hand
took a morsel and fed her. Once done feeding her dinner he made her take her
medicine, later taking her in his arms seeing her dozed off.
It was again a family time; all were
there in Arnav’s flat including Anjali. La and NK have got engaged as soon as
Shyam was kicked out. And once Khushi delivers her baby their wedding date will
be fixed. Khushi is in her 8th month and Anjali she had coped
Shyam’s betrayal well, once her daughter turns to two years she decided to join
AR but for now she is working from home like she did in her earlier days prior
her marriage to that Shyam.
Payal and Lavanya came with everyone’s
coffee, Anjali taking a box ‘Khushiji this is for you, your favourite Jalebi I
made it especially for you’
Khushi taking the box ‘thank you Di’
Anjali ‘have it na’
Khushi looking down at the box and then
at her.....Anjali ‘why? will you not have anything made by me’
Khushi ‘no no Di….it is nothing like
that….it is just that since Arnavji is diabetic I’m not taking any sweets
during this time for baby’s sake, I don’t want baby too to have diabetic it
will be so difficult for our baby Di.’
Arnav held Khushi’s hand smiling, Khushi
‘and doctor too told us to be cautious, so I’m being in safety precautions’
Anjali tried to smile, Khushi wanting to
reassure her ‘don’t worry Di, once my baby come into this world safely then
I’ll have as many jalebis from your hand’ Anjali nodded at her smiling.
Arnav ‘Akash is everything ready?’
Akash ‘yes bhai, we all are waiting for
you and Khushji with your Prince’
Arnav ‘we will reach there shortly’
Arnav cutting the call came inside the room where Khushi is all ready to go
back home with their son in her arms.
Arnav caressing her cheek ‘ready?’
Khushi ‘ji we are ready’
He took their son in his arms, kissing
him on his head he gave him to Khushi. Arnav ‘come let’s go’
He carrying Khushi and their son’s thing
in a little bag walked out of the hospital with Khushi and their son in her
protective arms.
Khushi after few minutes ‘Arnavji this
is not the route for our home. Where are we going?’
Arnav ‘you will know it soon’
And exactly like soon they came to halt
before a big gate, the gatekeeper opened the gate to let the car in. He drove
the car inside and halted it in car parking lot.
Coming out of the car, he moved to other
side and took their son in his arms and helped Khushi come out of the car. They
both walked to the magnificent house stood before him. Khushi in awe looked
around.
Khushi ‘where are we?’
Arnav ‘Our New home, Khushiyan’
Khushi gasped, Arnav ‘come!!!’ he took
her towards the wide open door, she looked wide eye to see Raizada’s,
NK-Lavanya and Gupta’s stood their smiling at them.
Maami did aarthi for Arnav, Khushi and
their son. Maami ‘welcome…. welcome to home’
Arnav looking at Khushi ‘I know you
don’t want to go to Raizada Mansion but also wish to live with our entire
family so I built this house for us, where we can all live together’
Khushi giggled through tears, hugged him
‘thank you, I love this home’
All chatted merrily on being under the
same roof going to live as one family, Anjali brought a plate of jalebi for
Khushi ‘now Khushiji you have to have this’
Khushi taking the piece ‘of course Di,
now no restriction, now I’m allowed to eat my fav jalebis, right’ she munching
on the jalebis looked at Arnav who smiled at her. Anjali hugged her ‘yes one is
enough’
Khushi pouted, Anjali ‘tsk tsk you will
put on weight if you eat more, and what will happen to my brother? How will he
carry you like he always does’
Khushi ‘Di!!!’ and dug her face in
Arnav’s chest who is chuckling at her shyness.
NK ‘so what are you both going to name
your Prince’
Lavanya ‘yes yes tell us na’
Payal ‘wait let me guess Aloo Singh
Raizada’
Khushi gasped ‘jiji’
Akash chuckled ‘or Bankelal Singh
Raizada’
Khushi looked wide eye at them, Anjali
chuckled ‘oh stop it you all, so Chotte Khushiji tell us what are you going to
name your Prince’
Khushi ‘My Prince name will be Advay,
Advay Singh Raizada’
Arnav ‘yes we have already decided the
name for baby boy and girl name’
Buaji ‘hai re Nandhkishore toh what was
the name you decided for a girl name if it a girl baby’
Arnav cheekily ‘that I’ll tell next
time, kyun Khushi, hoping next time I’ll get my Princess’
Khushi ‘haww’ all laughed at her
expression, she turned beetroot ret ‘Arnavji this is not fair’
Arnav whispering ‘is it fair if I ask my
wish in privacy of our room, only you and me, what say’ Khushi pouted at him,
hitting on his chest, he wrapped his arms around her. His small little world is completed now, with his wife Khushi and
their son Advay………………..
