Next morning..
"Will you fix your own wedding alone now?" Shashi asked sarcastically while having his breakfast.

"Bauji app bhi na.. It was just a family dinner for Arnav to meet his future wife, he didn't even knew that it was me.. they were planning to cancel this marriage whereas I was planning to surprise him.. I got to know about his family members and we decided to get engaged for now.. but didn't fix anything till yet.. Now his family are coming here to meet you and Amma and fix the dates.." Khushi whined for being taunted by her father for not informing that she was going to Arnav's house and that too to talk about their marriage.

"Family dinner.. Are we outsiders for you now?" Shashi pouted.

"Amma please save me.." Khushi cried staring at her mother at breakfast table.

Garima shook her head, "Just leave him and tell me my SRK wala damad, kaisa hai? (How's my son in law?)"

"He's fine.." Khushi replied.

"How do you know about him? He might be fine yesterday but today not.." Shashi rolled his eyes.

"Don't talk like this Shashi.. may no one cast an evil eye on my son in law.." Garima instantly prayed with worried tone.

"Haan haan.. people may do black magic on me, but you don't care.. just one evil eye on your son in law and look at your face as if someone is in hospital bed already.. By the way, kitne vraat rakoge apne damaad ke liye? (How many fast will keep you for your son in law?)" Shashi asked teasingly.

Payal giggled looking at them.

Garima glared at him, Khushi sighed: I asked him if he's fine or not in the morning itself Bauji..

"WHAT?" Shashi freaked out, "Before giving me good morning kiss and talk with me, you talk with HIM first now?"

"Relax.." Khushi poured water on an empty glass and handed to him, "Your son in law wakes up early so he called me before you woke up!"

"This is not done.. this ASR cheez (this ASR thing) is taking my place in your life.. I will wake up 3 am tomorrow and get my morning kiss and talk from you.." Shashi pouted gulping the glass of water in one go.

Khushi chuckled silently while Payal looked at her father amused, "If it's just Khushi and you're like this Bauji, imagine when I start dating also! You will not sleep at all then.."

Payal and Khushi laughed and high five.

Shashi pouted, "Dare you find another ASR to take my sleep away!"

"What do you mean by another ASR? My son in law is best only.. If he belonged to my generation, then I would have married him for sure.." Garima sigh dreamily, "Munda to bohot hi sona hai (He's very good looking guy)"

"Main kya karela hoon? By the way let me remind you that it was a love marriage and not forced one (Am I karela now?)" Shashi said staring at her with sarcastic look.

"Oh please don't compare yourself with my son in law.." Garima rolled her eyes, "You were handsome in those days, but everything pass with time!"

Khushi and Payal laughed at their mother's sarcastic comment to their father.

"Just like the way you were fit in those days, but seems like really everything passes away with time!" Shashi smirked.

"Are you saying that I'm fat now?" Garima looked at him with open mouth and wide eyes.

Shashi shrugged and sipped his tea, Garima glared at him.

Khushi took her phone and wrote a message to Arnav, "Send me your childhood pics!"

"Why?" came an instant reply.

"Can't I ask?" she replied back, muttering to herself, "Attitude Singh Raizada!"

"Can't I ask why also?" he replied.

"Fine, don't send.." she frowned typing the message to him and clicked on send option.

"I have to search on album which is with Di.. Wait!" he replied.

She smiled but decided to tease him, "No let it be.. I don't want anymore!"

"Okay.. less work for me!" came his reply.

"Yeah.. Bye!" she pouted replying to him.

"Bye.." came his reply, seconds later she was notified with another message of his, "Aren't you coming to AR today?"

"No.." she replied.

"Revenge? You only told me not to search for pictures, why are you getting angry?.. See, I had told you dealing with a laptop is more easy than with women!" came his reply.

Khushi smiled reading his message, she quickly typed, "Even I told you that good men in this world are like species in extinction!"

"So you're not coming?" he asked again.

"No.." she replied grinning.

"Ok" came his reply and she pouted whispering to herself, "Can't he pacify me at least?! Let it be.. you're dealing with KK, Mr. ASR.. Let's see till when you will show this attitude to me!"

****************************************************************************

Shantivan..
Arnav knocked the door of Anjali's room and was welcomed by Shyam.
Shyam smiled making way for Arnav, "Come in.. come in Sale sahab.. you here in morning, what a surprise!"

"We live in same house Jija ji.." Arnav looked at him weirdly.

"But it's not everyday you come in our room, hain na Rani Sahiba?" Shyam asked to Anjali smiling.

"Chote.. early in morning you reminded of me, what happened?" Anjali smiled happily leaving Shyam's tie on bed carelessly and ran to her brother cupping his face.

"I actually came to ask if you our childhood photo album.. Khushi wants to see my childhood pictures.." Arnav said.

Anjali withdrew her hand from his cheek with fallen face, "You.. came here to ask for this only?"

"Haan Di.. give it to me.." Arnav said.

"Yeh Khushi bhi na.. pura ka pura naujawan ASR mila hai usse.. past main kyun travel karni hai abb (This Khushi is too much.. she found whole young-man ASR for her.. why does she want to travel in past now).. abb kya bacche ko bhi apna banana chati hai? (Does she want to make kid Arnav hers also?)" Shyam thought.

"Chote you.." Anjali looked at him with moist eyes.

"Nahin, today you're not going to spoil my morning with your Chote-speech here.. Already all night I had to console this lady and she kept blabbering Chote this.. chote that.. mera dimag karab karke rakha hai yeh aurat (this woman has messed up with my brain).. Not even a teacher knows perfectly about the subject as much as she knows about Chote-word! Her mouth blabbers Chote from morning till night.. If I had some injection to shut up her mouth.. I would really be grateful!" Shyam thought then walked to both.

"Rani Sahiba app bhi na.. You're getting emotional just because Sale sahab touched the childhood topic.. but you're forgetting that Sale sahab ki dulhania is waiting for his pictures and there's no time for bhai-Di wala emotional scene now.." Shyam smiled.

Arnav raised his one eyebrow at Shyam, and Anjali looked at her husband confused, here she was emotional because her Chote came to her only for Khushi and not because he wanted to meet her and he's talking something else.

"Mere kehne ka matlab hai ki aapka aur Di (Anjali glared at him).. oh sorry, Rani Sahiba ka rishta purana hai, par aapka rishta Khushi keep sath abhi naya hai, toh isliye aapko zyada time Khushi ko dehna chahiye.. Rani Sahiba ke liye main hoon na. (I mean to say that yours and Di.. Oh sorry, Rani Sahiba relationship is old but yours and Khushi relationship is still new and you should give time to her.. I'm here for Rani Sahiba).. like you two have seen your childhood pictures together, but Khushi didn't.. so it's better not to be emotional over same thing again, and save time and show the pictures to Khushi who never saw it.." Shyam smiled sheepishly.

"Di.." Arnav called reminding her that he's waiting.

"I don't remember where I kept it.. Chote I want to talk.. " Anjali said only to be interrupted again by her husband.

"I remember.." Shyam shouted making Anjali and Arnav turn their attention to him again.

"I remember.. I'm a lawyer and I know very well how criminals try to hide evidences.." Shyam grinned.

Anjali widened her eyes, "Shyam ji are you calling me a criminal?"

Arnav couldn't help but chuckle at it.

"Nahin Rani Sahiba.." Shyam tried to pacify her. Anjali looked away crossing her arms.

"Itne pyaar se madam ko pacify kar raha hoon, still she looks away.. (I'm pacifying her with so much love, still she looks away).. stay angry then! Good for me that I won't have to hear your voice all day now.." Shyam thought shrugging, then went to their closet and took out the album giving it to Arnav much to Anjali's annoyance.

"Thanks Jija ji.." Arnav said and took the album from his hand.

"You're welcome Sale sahab.. you're always welcome.." Shyam smiled.

Arnav left from there, Shyam kept staring at him, "Dushman ko kush rakhna main ek bara hi maza aata hai (There's a big fun in keeping enemies happy)"

****************************************************************************

KK's company..

"Good morning sir.." the receptionist stood up to greet Arnav.

"Morning.." Arnav took off his glasses making the receptionist go weak on her knees, "Can I have a meeting with KK?"

"I... I will call ma'am right away.." said the lady composing herself and called her ma'am to inform about ASR's arrival, she kept the phone aside after few talks and smiled sheepishly to Arnav, "Ma'am is asking if you have any appointment sir to meet with her?"

Arnav smiled lightly, "Tell her that I don't need appointment to meet with her.. she's all booked for me!"

The lady blushed and convenyed the message to her ma'am.

"She's waiting for you at her cabin sir.." the receptionist smiled.

Arnav smirked and went towards Khushi's cabin. Before he could knock on the door, he was pulled inside the cabin by her hands.

"What the.." Arnav jerked staring at her in disbelief, "Is this a way to welcome someone?"

Khushi wrapped her arms around his neck, pouting, "I was missing you!"

"Even I missed you.." he smirked and was about to peck her cheek, but Khushi placed her palm on his lips making Arnav groan.

"I'm angry with you.." she reminded him.
Arnav signaled her to take off her hand from his lips so that he could reply, Khushi did the same.

"Here.." he took one picture from his suit and hand it to her.

Khushi smiled and excitedly wanted to take it from his hand but he raised the picture a bit not letting it reach to her hands, she pouted staring at him.

"You didn't came to AR, but I came here to meet you.." he reminded her.

Khushi kissed his cheek smiling, "My good man!"

Arnav shake his head smiling and gave the picture to her.

She excitedly took it and stare at his picture, "Aww.. time does pass away, but some people remain same only!"

"What do you mean?" Arnav asked.

"You were handsome like now you're.. you just don't have the chubby cheeks anymore.." she said admiring the picture.

"They are with you now.." Arnav pinched her cheeks.

Khushi giggled, "Can I keep this picture with me?"

Arnav nodded and Khushi hugged him whispering a thank you.

"But seriously early in morning you thought about my childhood pictures.." Arnav said confused.

"Nahin, actually Bauji and Amma were as usual fighting with each other and while their bickering talks, Amma was saying to Bauji that he was handsome in their old days but now he's not.. so I just wanted to check if now you're handsome then in past, I thought you were not.. but how can I forget you're ASR.. you defeated time also!!!" Khushi blabbered.

Arnav chuckled and hit her forehead, "Only you can have such thoughts.."

Khushi pouted.

"Let's get to work.." Arnav said and she nodded. Both took their seats and got engrossed in talking about their fashion show.

Khushi ordered for coffee for both of them and peon came to give it to them.

Khushi took her cup and sipped it once, then looked at Arnav thinking about whether to share with him about Shyam or not.

"He's mine only, if I don't share things with him like I share with Amma, Bauji and Jiji.. then how is he my dear one?" she thought and decided to tell him.

"Arnav.." she called him.

Arnav blinked his eyes gesturing her to go ahead.

"Do you remember about our dinner date where a man misbehaved with me?" Khushi asked him.

"I do.. and you forbid me from teaching him a lesson!" Arnav gritted his teeth just by remembering of that day.

"I just met him yesterday.." Khushi said and paused for a while before continuing, "At your house.."

"My house?" Arnav frowned, then looked at her as realizing dawned upon him, "Shyam.. my Jija ji?"

"How do you know?" Khushi asked nodding her head.

"I know Akash and Aman very well, but Jija ji was Nani's choice that time they were searching groom for Di.. He's not much close to me so I don't know much about him, so only he can do such thing!" Arnav clenched his fist angrily.

"It means he's cheating on my Di.. he's not what he looks like! I freaking knew it.. someone just can't be so good, it means they're acting only.." Arnav stood up bursting in anger and left from there angrily.

Khushi stood up and went running behind him, "Arnav wait.."

When she reached at KK's gate side, he already left in his car with full speed driving.

She rushed to her car and followed him.

****************************************************************************

Shantivan..

"Where is Shyam?" Arnav reached shouting at the living room angrily, his furious steps made every servant aware that today is not a good day.

"What happened Chote? Why are you calling Shyam ji by his name?" Anjali rushed to him.

"He doesn't deserve my respect anymore.." Arnav gritted his teeth.

"But what did he do?" Anjali asked frowning.

"Sale sahab.." Shyam came downstairs after hearing shouts.

Arnav took furious and heavy steps towards him and pulled him by his collar, "How dare you misbehave with Khushi? How dare you.. you're acting innocent in front of us all these years while outside you're flirting with other women cheating my Di.. you scoundrel.. bastard.. I will not spare you.. You dare to mess up with ASR's sister.. you will face my worst side now.."

Khushi reached in the living room and shut her eyes tightly as she couldn't stop Arnav from controlling himself.

Anjali walked towards them, when Arnav was about to hit a shocked and numb Shyam, she held Arnav's hand stopping him, she looked at Arnav with rage in her eyes: Leave my husband..

Arnav looked at her confused, "Di?"

"I said leave my husband.. he can never cheat me.. I'm his life and he loves me more than anyone.. Shyam ji aisa kuch kar hi nahin sakta (Shyam can never do something like this).. I don't know what's wrong with you, from the time this girl came into our lives, you're changed.. now falling for her words, you want me to accuse my husband of cheating me?" Anjali said sobbing.

Nani, Mami and Mama were clueless about what's happening here.

"And you.. Wasn't it enough that you snatched my brother from me, that you want to snatch my husband too?" Anjali walked to Khushi and asked angrily.

"Oh please.. I've no interest in this husband of yours!" Khushi replied back frowning.

Don't know why.. but I liked the Shyam of this story 😂😂😂.

You guys will enjoy his and Khushi's upcoming scenes!
