It was a sunny day..almost around 10 in the morning..payal and kushi were sitting in the garden and they both were lost in their own world of dreams..and as usual..kushi kept jabbering about how she is gonna face arnav..what will happen in future and al..

payal: common kushi ! don’t get so damn tensed from now on ! he is gonna be your better half !

kushi : haan jeeji! you're right !i should know to overcome this ! but how???

payal: don't be silly ! you were totally brilliant in front of him yesterday..how boldly you answered him..

kushi : woh toh hai ! but when i see him ! something really happens to me jeeji ! he kinda gives me support through his words itself !!

payal: wooow ! look at that!someone is getting so romantic !

kushi: oh god ! jeeji ! nothing like that ! i first need to know him! only then i can even think about romance..

and when they were interrupted by their mother..she was running happily towards kushi..both payal and kushi were confused..they got up and were just staring at each other..

garimma: kushii !!! i am so happyy beta!!!

payal: but amma ? kya huaa???

kushi: haan ma! kya hua?

grimma: i just got a call from anjali..she told that she wants to have the marriage in a week..

now kushi was shocked and surprised !! her heart was shouting “OMG”

her mind was crying..she dinno weather to be happy or sad..she did not show any reaction on her face..she gave a bank look..suddenly tears started rolling down her eyes..

her mom got even more worried..”i know kushi ..how bad you would feel...u will be leaving all of us in just a week ..its a very short span”

and kushi just sprang into her mom’s arms..crying her heart out! “ haan amma ! i am really scared! will i be a good bahu? will i be a good wife? “

“of course dear ! my daughter will fulfill her duties ..n i know it..!”

it really helped kushi in building up her morale..

garimma: now my daughter should stop crying...

and kushi came out of the hug..n she wiped her tears and nodded her head..

garimma: now ..that is like my good girl..my little girl will be married by next friday ! i never xpected this kushi ! you know how happy i am for you !

kushi gave a faint smile..

garimma: they're bringing shagun tomorrow kushi..n you have your engagement in the evening!

payal: whaaaaaaatttttt?? amma!! so soon !

garimma: ye beta ! v have to make a lot of arrangements..

payal: yea amma! shopping also !

garimma: ok..thn it wud be better if you both leave right now for shopping..i have so much of work to do ! you both better get going !

and she left...payal looked at kushi and gave her a convincing nod..

at raizada mansion..

same was the situation there..everyone were busy with something or the other ..anjali had neatly planned out all..n she assigned a work for all..everyone did it up2 their best..but there was a person who was totally not involved in all these and was sitting in front of the laptop..

but with so much of noise around..he was not able to concentrate in his work..so he decided to go to his room and continue his work..when anjali saw him moving from the place..she called to him..

anjali: where are you leaving?

arnav: di ! i am not a school kid to ask permission and leave !

anjali: what do you think chote! this is ur marriage in a week ! and 2mr v have the shangun and engagement! you hardly care about it !

arnav: stop it di ! you know ...that i am marrying her only for ur sake..my work is more important now ! so please leave me alone...

and he left...anjali was really shocked to hear those words..

she decided to have a serious talk with him and followed him to his room...

anjali: chote ! listen to me !

arnav: now what di ?

anjali: look ...if you r marrying her for my sake ..thn don't you dare marry her..u will be ruining that poor soul’s life also!

arnav: no di ! its not like that ! i really like her!

anjali: now don't say that for my sake..

now arnav did not know what to do..but he wanted to prove her that he really liked kushi..

arnav: you won't believe me ,will you?

anjali gave a negative nod...

arnav just grabbed her mobile..dialed a number..the ring went on for a few seconds..thn as soon as he heard the voice he put it on speaker...

“hello? who is this?” came the voice..

“hello auntie..its me arnav..can i talk to kushi for a second..”

anjali stood shocked! was it arnav who was doing all this !! he really did like her!

“but beta..she is not there at home..she has gone out?”

“ooh..auntie ..then can you give me her mobile number?”

and garimma gave him kushi’s number..

“thank you aunty “

and the call ended..

arnav immediately dialed her number in his mobile..

now anjali was waiting for the moment for kushi to attend the call..

the ring went on and on..but she didn’t pick..

then he tried again..she picked it up in the first ring...

“helloo?” came the cute and sweet voice...

“its me arnav!”
