"We have reached in Chennai!" the examiner shouted for everyone to start moving. It was already night, Arnav took his bag and walked to leave, when he noticed Khushi looking down with fallen face.

"What happened? Do you want to stay here and go back with them?" he asked to her.

Khushi nodded sideways, "I'm scared now!"

"Scared of what?" he frowned.

"Woh.. I don't have money with me na.. Where will I go now? I don't even know Chennai properly.. What will I eat?.. What if I find a real Tangaballi here then what will I do without you?" she pouted, "I'm such a dumbo! I came here without thinking anything and here I thought I could manage!"

"See how life isn't Bollywood!" he crossed his arms and raised his eyebrow, "And you're really a dumbo! There's no doubt of it.."

He took his bag and start walking, Khushi stare at him going, she gulped, "DM please protect me!"

Arnav turned to her, "What are you waiting for? Let's go dammit!"

Khushi's face lit up, she smile then pouted, "I won't go if you shout like this, pyaar se bolo!"

"Come if you want, otherwise good luck with the real Tangaballi!" he shrugged and start walking. Khushi followed him hurriedly, "No wait!.. You get angry so easily!"

"Looks like you haven't heard of me yet!" he said.

"Nahin, who are you?" she asked with confused smile, "But your name came in news na.. that video you showed me.."

Arnav looked at her, "I didn't show the video to you, your curious eyes reached there!"

"Haan haan, same to same!" she shrugged, "If you came in news, then you must be a big person, hain na? Underworld Don!"

Arnav glared at her, Khushi raised her eyebrows, "Nahin? Then Police officer? (she giggled mockingly).. Nahin, nahin.. Police are not that coward to run away from their marriages!"

"I think it's better to leave you alone here, no?" he asked.

"I'm just guessing na, why are you getting angry? Now you made my mood off, you tell me only who are you?" she pouted walking with him.

"Arnav Singh Raizada.." he rolled his eyes.

"Naam maine bhi suna hai na.. (Even I heard the name), that reporter said your name very loudly it got right in my mind, what do you do? That's what I want to know.." she asked.

"Why do you want to know? Do you want to marry me?" he frowned.

"No, no, no.. Who knows you will run away from our marriage also?" Khushi giggled.

"Khushi just stop talking about this matter.. You think it's funny that I ran away from my marriage! I didn't even know that my family planned this marriage for me; do you even imagine what is spending a life without someone you don't want to? Everything is not funny as it seems! I had already said this before, and now I'm saying it again.. Don't interfere or even comment on my personal life, it has nothing to do with you!" he said seriously.

Khushi gulped; as he started walking she followed him silently.

"I'm the CEO of AR.. fashion industry.." he said. Khushi smiled, "Wow! You're a business man! I already knew it.. Suit suit ahn! Not bad.."

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

"Wow.. such a beautiful place! Is this yours?" Khushi asked excitedly.

"This belongs to my Dadi!" he said knocking the door.

An old lady opened the door with a sweet smile on her face, as soon she saw her grandson her eyes widen in surprise because she wasn't expecting him at all, since he has his business that keeps him busy she never ask him to come, she doesn't want to stress him but today he came on his own. She's very happy today.

"Chote!" she pulled him into a tight hug. Arnav also hugged her back with a small smile on his lips, he too missed his Dadi so much, he wants to stay with her all the time, but his work doesn't permit him to, he even asked her to come and stay with him in Sheesh Mahal, but she doesn't get well with Nani and Mami. Hence to avoid fights, she preferred to stay away and in some place where she finds peace.

Khushi watched their hug with a warm smile on her face.

"Maya.. Come here quickly.. look who has come.. My chote!" Dadi shouted smiling with tears in her eyes.

"What?" another lady came running to them, Khushi looked at her awed, she was so beautiful.

"She's my aunt Maya!" Arnav turned to Khushi. Khushi widened her eyes in shock; she was so beautiful and young to be called aunt.

"And who is she?" Dadi and Maya asked curiously.

"She is.." Arnav stood thinking who Khushi was for him, a stranger who he met on his way to Chennai and felt pity because she was alone and had no money neither place to stay.

"I knew it.." Dadi smiled brightly with moist eyes, "I knew it you didn't come here just like that.. She's our bahu hain na? You came to show her to us.."

"Kitni pyaari hai.. (She's so lovely!)" Maya smiled and patted Khushi's shock.

Arnav and Khushi, both widened their eyes in shock. Arnav tried to explain, "Dadi she's.."

"Maya what are you waiting for? Go and bring puja thali.. we need to welcome them.." said Dadi smiling. Maya nodded excitedly and went from there.

Dadi turned to Arnav, "Couldn't you inform at least your Dadi that you're getting married? I didn't need an invitation card, just you could have called me and say this.. I would become very happy just to know that.."

"Dadi I .." he said. Dadi shook her head and patted his cheek, "It's okay beta.. You don't need to say sorry.. And why should we stay sad for something that already happened?"

"Offo.. Nothing happened between us.. Yeh Arnav bhi na.. Why doesn't he open his mouth and clear this already growing confusion?" thought Khushi biting her nails nervously.

After Maya welcomed them, the four walked to the living room. Dadi and Maya were happily walking behind them and appreciating the new couple while Arnav and Khushi were with tensed faces.

Khushi glared at Arnav and gestured him to say something, Arnav glared back at her gesturing her to wait.

"Arnav bro! How is it going? You well or not?" came Pinky, she's maid of this house but Dadi and Maya treat her like family, she worked for them for many years.

"I'm fine Pinky!" Arnav shook his head at the way she tries to speak English with him, since she knows he went to study abroad and became big business man, she thinks he's British now and only talks her English with him.

"Bro you took phere with her.. Desi girl? Pinky thinks you marry White-white ladies.." Pinky said, "Bothways (Anyway) congrats ji.. congrats.."

Maya glared at her, "Don't scare her with your terrible English! She's Pinky, she works here as maid but is more like family.."

"Thankiu ji .. Thankiu!" Pinky said emotionally. Arnav face palmed hearing her 'thankiu'.

"What is her name Chote?" Dadi asked Arnav. "Khushi.." Arnav replied.

"Beautiful name just like her.." said Dadi smiling staring at Khushi, she's already fond of Khushi.

"Khushi ki meaning Happiness hain na? She brings happiness in Bro's life!" said Pinky giggling. Dadi and Maya smiled.

"It's good ji you bring Khushi (happy/good) news here Bro.. Tum bhi happy and now Dadi ji bhi happy.. You know.. Dadi ji got Dil (Heart) attack five days ago.. Doctor says to take care of her.." said Pinky.

"Pinky!" Dadi glared at her, then turned to Arnav, "I'm fine now beta.. It's nothing to worry!"

"What? How can you even say that to me Dadi? Heart attack? And you didn't even called me to inform about this? I would have left everything and come to you.. Why Dadi?" Arnav looked at her worriedly.

"Loh ji.. Bro we called very much times.." Pinky said. Dadi glared at her again, "Pinky shut up!"

"Then why wasn't I informed at home? No one said anything to me, neither Di.." Arnav frowned.

"She said she called but her balance was zero na.. Then how could you know? That's why I call her pagli.. She doesn't know what she does.." Dadi smiled.

She held both Arnav and Khushi's hand, "But now you both are here na, I'm very happy.. I'm not sick at all now.."

She looked at Khushi then frowned, "Bitiya.. Where's your mangalsutra? Sindoor? You have to wear them bitiya.."

"Woh.. I forgot to wear them in hurry.. Arnav ji doesn't have patience na.. I left them at home itself.." Khushi faked a smile.

Arnav controlled himself from saying "What the..", he furrowed his brows at Khushi for continuing this lie.

Khushi gestured him to keep calm. After hearing about Dadi's health, she got scared what if Dadi discovers this is a lie, she's not Arnav's wife and get a heart attack again. She was so happy to see her grandson married and Khushi didn't have heart to snatch that happiness from her.

"It's okay bitiya.. Pinky will go and buy for you early in morning.." said Dadi and kept looking at both with a cute smile on her face. She was admiring the newly married couple.

"We're got so hyper with this news that we forgot to ask them what will they have!" Maya said and stood up, "So tell me, what you both want to eat or drink?"

"Aunt this is not fair na.. You called this my home also and treating me like guest!" Arnav complained.

Maya bit her tongue smiling, "Sorry! But I won't let you both go without eating.. So go and freshen up, me and Pinky will serve dinner then.."

"I will also help.." Khushi stood up. Dadi nodded sideways, "Nahin bitiya.. first time you came here, let us take care of you.. go and freshen up with Chote, you both must be tired.."

Khushi gulped then looked at Arnav, "Main aur Tangaballi in same room.. Aye DM.. What's happening in my life?"

Maya and Pinky smiled teasingly. "Don't be so shy.. He's your husband!" Maya said and pushed Khushi to go with Arnav.

"Aye aye.. Diabetes bro got sugar in his life in form of his wife!" Pinky said. Dadi and Maya rolled their eyes.

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

Arshi's room:

Khushi was looking around the room. She wasn't seeing herself sleeping with Arnav, a stranger to her. Now she was repenting coming to Chennai all alone, she should have listened to her Jiji's words, she did not like this new twist in her life.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go and take bath together since we're husband and wife, right?" Arnav asked sarcastically.

"What? NO!" Khushi screamed. Arnav glared at her, "Don't scream dammit.. What will Dadi and Maya aunt think?"

"I know I lied.. but my lie can save your Dadi's life.. think if she gets to know that we both aren't wife and husband, then she will be hurt and it can affect her health, that's why I didn't say the truth.." Khushi said.

"You have a point, but this lie isn't going to help either.." he said.

"Oh ji.. Stop thinking like a business man, think emotionally too.." Khushi said, "Did you saw the happiness in her eyes? Is it right that we should snatch it from her?"
