arnav immediately dialed kushi’s 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!”

kushi almost dropped her mobile hearing him talk!

but payal caught it before the phone hit the floor..

and she gave it again to kushi...

kushi silently took it from payal’s hand..

and she made an effort to speak..

but air was replaced by words..

she was hardly able to speak..her heart was stuck in her throat...her palms became sweaty in a minute..

concern was seen in payal’s face seeing kushi’s nervousness...but she somehow guessed that it was arnav looking at all her reactions...

again arnav spoke..”helloo..kushi??”

now kushi felt a little better after listening to his words.. “haan ji ! boliye !”

arnav: where are you ?

kushi: i am with my sister for shopping..kyun?

arnav: no..ur mother told me that you were not at home..so i just asked..

kushi: ohh..u called me to ask this?

arnav: no..

now arnav did not know what to tell..he just called her to prove to his di..now what would he tell..so he just spoke some random words without thinking and meaning them....

arnav: kushi ! i just called you calm you down !

now kushi felt like flying in the air..now she really felt that he would be there to support her throughout and never let her down..his gestures were really sweet..she thought..

and arnav continued... “kushi...there is nothing to be scared about..i know that 1 week is really short..just don't get tensed...

kushi did not know how to react .. what will she say to all these..

kushi: haan arnav ji..

arnav: ok kushi..now i have an important meeting..meet you tomorrow..bye.

before kushi could even respond ..the call ended..

anjali was staring at all these..n she felt really happy..her chotee is behaving like this ! she was not able believe..but arnav did not give a damn..and again he sat in front of his laptop continuing his work ...

and a happy anjali left the room..she now was able to believe that her brother really liked her..

payal and kushi shopped all the necessary stuffs and they were returning home..kushi was still talking to payal about how she felt when he spoke..

payal: so lucky you are kushi ! he really cares for you so much !

kushi: ye jiji ! but you know something? on that day he told me that he is marrying you only for anjali ji’s sake..

payal: he also told that he likes you na??

kushi: yea....

but still kushi was confused..

they reached home...had their and left to bed early..cuz kushi had a big day coming up..

it was almost 5 00 in the morning...the sun had just rose..the rays were peeping through the clouds..the birds started chirping and sho did kushi’s alarm..she just sprang up when she felt the vibration..she did not have a good night's sleep..she was scared.. confused..happy..tensed..a mixed feeling..so many questions were running in her mind..but she decided to pause them for this day.. and get ready for the day...

within 2 hours..she was completely ready...she saw the time..it was only 7 15..still she had 45 mins left..she did not know what to do until that..

and just then payal entered her room..

she just stood still at the sight of her sister ...she then exclaimed..”kushii ! how stunning you look !! “

kushi was dressed in a gold anarkali with red patch works on her sleeve and neck..she side plaited her hair which enhanced her look all the more.... she was a complete masterpiece in every angle..payal thought..

by the time..people from raizada home had arrived with kushi’s shagun..all of them praised kushi looking at her and her beauty..kushi became really comfortable with her future family..

as the time went by..the shagun ceremony peacefully came to an end..

kushi was just moving to her room to get ready for her engagement...when she heard anjali talking on the phone..”what do you mean you can't come ,chote?”

kushi stood there when she heard the sentence with an utter shock..
