"I'm very nervous yaar.." Akash said pacing around his room with a tensed face.

NK was brushing his hair, and rolled his eyes.

"Just chill Akash! All you have to do is say that I love Payal and want to marry her.." Nk said.

Akash threw a pillow to him, "I know that! I just don't know whether this meeting would turn out to be Mubarakan (Congratulations) or Total siyappa (Total chaos)"

"If it's Mubarakan, then we will get Akash ki Dulhania, (Akash smiled in glee), if it's Total siyappa then Happy.. I mean Payal Bhag Jayegi (Payal will run away)" NK laughed out loud.

Akash started running behind him and he escaped from there leaving the room.

Arshi's room:
Khushi woke up, but was surprised seeing Arnav still sleeping on the recliner. Usually when she wakes up everyday, he would be jogging or taking care of his plants. And after letting him fresh up first, she gets up. But today he was still sleeping.

"Ayee DM.. Miracle happened today, Laad governor didn't wake up till now.." Khushi thought suspiciously.

She pulled the blanket away, and went near him.

"Arnav.." she called his name softly.

Arnav was still sleeping peacefully.

"Arnav!! Did you die?" she asked him rubbing his shoulder.

"Yeah!" came a lazy reply from Arnav.

Khushi pouted and slapped his shoulder.

"What kind of stupid question is this? Can't you feel I'm breathing? And how would you question someone who is dead if he died.. He would never answer you unless he comes like a ghost!" Arnav opened his eyes.

"Acha ok! I just got worried na.. You don't sleep till now.." said Khushi embarrassed for her behavior and walked to go to the bathroom.

Arnav sat on the recliner, and held her hand, "Aren't you getting much worried for me these days?"

"Do you have any problem?" Khushi asked.

"I just want to know why!" he said.

"What why?" Khushi looked away.

"Why are you worried for me? Are you falling in love with me?" he smirked.

"Laad governor.. Don't think too high of yourself!! I do stay worried about Akash also, does this means I love him also? Nahin na, he is my brother in law.." Khushi said.

"And I'm your husband Khushi.." he rolled his eyes.

"Toh? (then?)" Khushi asked.

Arnav stood up, he went near her and tucked her hair behind her ear, he bend his head and whispered near her ear huskily, "Toh pyaar ho sakta hai.. (then love can happen..)"

Khushi closed her eyes due to the proximity of both. She could feel his breath and his husky voice like a melody to her ears. She shivered and gulped..

"Thanks for waking me!" she heard his voice.

Suddenly she felt the door being closed. She opened her eyes and saw he already left from there to use the bathroom.

"Laad governor I will not leave you.. I woke up first today.." Khushi shouted, then she sat on the bed smiling.

Arnav on the other side, splashed water coming from the tap, on his face many times. He closed his eyes and Khushi's face came in his mind.

Why does he lose control with her? He never felt like this for Meera neither Sheetal. Meera was considered one of the most beautiful and hot girl in their class, but his heart never give any interest to her. His friends would always convince him to be her boyfriend because they sensed she loves him, but he never gave a damn! And Sheetal, was one of top models of AR, both were friends only and he never looked at her with other intentions as media people published. Khushi is different, she is simple and innocent but makes his heart skip a beat whenever he's with her, close to her. He always tend to lose control with her, and with great difficulty he manages to cover up the situation and control his feelings, like now! Run away to the bathroom, otherwise he would talk and do something which he would regret later if he hurt her!

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

Afternoon..

The family was in the living room, all were so happy that Arnav didn't go to office today and Khushi got to know the reason why he didn't woke up early.

Aman came in smiling, "Namaste.."

"Aman beta.. How are you? Come, sit here.." Nani said happily. Today Arnav didn't go to office and Aman also came to visit them. "I'm fine Nani.." Aman said and took blessing from Nani, Mami and Mama.

"What's up bro?" he greeted Akash and NK, and stood with both chatting with them.

Arnav glared at him, to which he smiled sheepishly.

"I left my office in your hands and you come to my house to what's up with your bros!?" Arnav said.

"The matter is I'm loyal to my boss! He took a day off from office, so I also did the same.." replied Aman with a smile.

"Very funny!" Arnav said and everyone laughed.

Akash received a message from Payal, stating that she has reached. He nervously walked outside the mansion to take her.

Arnav, Khushi, Aman and NK looked at each other with tensed faces.

Akash came back alone, and the four looked at him confused.

He cleared his throat, "I want to say something to you all.."

"Haan bolo Akash.." Anjali smiled to him.

"I fell in love.." he said in one go.

"With whom?" Mami asked with wide eyes.

"Obviously with a girl!" Arnav rolled his eyes.

"This is a good news Akash! Who is she?" Anjali asked.

"Haan, who is this girl who stole my grandson's heart? Show her to us.." Nani smiled happily.

"I.. Woh.. She's here.. I brought her to meet all of you.." Akash stammered.

"Look how is he shy.. Aww Akash! Don't be shy na, call her.. We won't eat her!" Anjali said peeking to the door side, to get a glimpse of Akash's lady love.

Payal who was hiding in the door, shut her eyes tightly in fear of rejection by his family.

"Call her.. I will hug this girl who finally managed to melt your heart.. I can't wait to her your marriage.." said Nani smilingly.

"If you see her face, you will not hug by kick her out of here.." Arnav murmured, chuckling thinking about everyone's reaction.

Khushi glared at him.

"Let me see my bahu!" Mami said excitedly.

Akash just stood still, while Nk and Aman were signaling him to call Payal.

Khushi also eyed to the door, gesturing him to go and bring her in.

"Ooh bitwa.. Is your Queen so beautiful like Queen Padmavati that you plan to show her glimpse to us through a mirror?" Mami asked in disbelief.

Anjali and Nani laughed. Akash widened his eyes, "Ma app bhi na!!"

"Should I call her?" Arnav asked.

Khushi nodded sideways, "Let Akash call his future wife, yours is here beside you!"

Arnav raised his eyebrows smiling astonished with the words Khushi chose. Possessive girl, he thought. Khushi realized what she blurted, she looked away feeling shy.

"I think I will have to go and see her.." Anjali said and pretend to stood up.

"Nahin Di.. I will call her.." Akash freaked out, he looked at the door side and gulped.

"DM be with them!" NK, Aman and Khushi silently prayed.

"Pa..Papayaa.." Akash shouted closing his eyes, not wanting to see his family's expression.

"Papaya??????" everyone asked confused and Aashi giggled.

Payal wanted to bang her head somewhere.

"Akash weds Papaya!!" Mama said and made a face.

"Isse better toh Strawberry hai..(Strawberry is better than this)" Mami said rolling her eyes.

"Did you really fell in love with Papaya?" Anjali asked widening her eyes.
