Chapter 18 - Shopping Day!
Sunday:
"Mami what happened? Why did you pulled me suddenly?" Khushi glanced at Mami in her room startled.
"Shhh.. I want you to make up me!" Mami smiled and pulled her to the bed.
"And you could have asked me normally na?" Khushi rolled her eyes.
"But Anjali would take it bad that I'm talking with you.." Mami explained her.
"Aww you're using me then.." Khushi jaws dropped.
"No.. I like you, you're not that bad!!" Mami smiled sheepishly.
Khushi shook her head smiling, and started applying make up to Mami.
"Thank you for making me look pretty.. He liked it a lot, he said I looked like Madhuri Dixit.." Mami blushed profusely.
Khushi smiled, "Acha! So now you want to look beautiful for Mama ji?"
Mami nodded: Every woman should look beautiful for their man! When they appreciate us, it's the best feeling in the world.. (glancing at Khushi) you should try for Arnav bitwa too!!
Khushi looked at Mami with wide eyes: Mami app bhi na.. Why should I do all this? I'm fine the way I'm!
Mami giggled and caressed Khushi's cheeks.
Khushi liked it when Mami caressed and talked with her normally.

Arshi's room:
Arnav was getting ready, he glanced at his sister coming inside of his room.
"Need something?" he curtly asked.
"Chote I need money! We are going to shopping so I need to buy some clothes and my things.." she smiled.
"Di you work right and every end of the month you receive your salary! Why are you asking me for money?" Arnav raised his eyebrow.
Anjali nodded: When Khushi wasn't in our life, you didn't ask me such questions..
"Maybe she opened my eyes.." he said and left the room.
Anjali glared at him going.
Khushi walked out of Mami's room, and bumped with Arnav on her way.
"Ouch.. Can't you see while walking? In such a big mansion with such a big space you still had to bump with me.." Khushi rubbed her shoulders frowning.
"Perhaps this is your first time in a big mansion with big space which is normal for people to bump with each other.." Arnav smirked.
"Mami says I should look beautiful for him! He doesn't even deserve that.." Khushi thought staring at Arnav.
"I look handsome I know. Stop checking me out.." Arnav winked at her.
"Ha ha ha.. In your dreams I would check you out.." Khushi smiled sarcastically and walked in the direction of their room.
Mami walked out of her room looking elegant and simple with the royal blue sari Nani once gifted to her.
Arnav glanced at her, he still remembers the day Nani returned from her trip to Lucknow and brought for them gifts and that included the sari Mami was wearing now.
He looked at his wrist, and then the watch, it was her gift to him. She knew very well what her family members loved and needed.
"She was just..perfect.." he thought with a smile on his face.
Mami reached Arnav, "Bitwa I'm ready now.. Let's go.."
Akash and Mama were also waiting downstairs with Anjali.
Mami and Arnav descended the stairs.
"Khushi is missing.." Arnav spoke a loud staring at his family members.
"She is changing her clothes.." Mami said.
Arnav: Okay then, you all wait in the car and I will come with her.
All nodded their heads and walked outside of the mansion.
Arnav sat on the sofa waiting for his wife.
Meanwhile Khushi was having a hard time choosing the salwar to wear.
She glanced at her red salwar and reminded of Mami's words, and then Nani.
Flashback..
"Red?! He likes red.. Is he romantic?" Khushi asked excitedly.
Nani laughed out loudly staring at lake view in front of them.
"He is very romantic.." Nani smiled.
"Huh! Nani I was just asking you like that.. In reality I know he is an arrogant and rude business man, who isn't and doesn't seem to be romantic at all.." Khushi giggled.
"He is romantic Khushi..but doesn't show it.. His every designed outfit screams his love for his profession.. He secretly waits for me to sleep and then comes to my room and give a good night kiss.. He does everything to see a smile on his sister's face.. He handles Manorama's tantrums.. He likes when his brother Akash achieves success on his own.. He does everything secretly.. He loves but doesn't show it.. So in my opinion he is very romantic but.. " Nani raised her eyebrows to Khushi.
"Doesn't show it!!" Khushi completed the sentence sighing, she doesn't understand why this man is so complicated.
Flashback ends..
Khushi picked the red salwar, and went to the bathroom to change it.
After changing the red salwar, she glanced at herself on the mirror.
"Why am I doing this?" she thought with a crying face and combed her hair.
Unwillingly or willingly she was getting ready for him only. But she didn't want to admit it for herself.
After some minutes, she descended the stairs. And the scene in front of her made her jaws drop in shock.
"What's happening here?" Khushi screamed with shut eyes.
Arnav and the lady, who were on each other arms on the sofa, looked at her side with wide eyes.
Arnav then gulped staring at her dressed in his favorite color. While Khushi was fuming in anger, and her cheeks now matched with her salwar color.
The girl stood up and smiled awkwardly.
Khushi looked at Arnav hurt: You brought your girlfriend home?
Arnav nodded sideways: No! She is my friend, the one I had to pick in the airport..
Khushi: What were you doing with her on the sofa then?
Arnav: She just ran to hug me, and in that process we both fell on the sofa Khushi.. It's not like what you're thinking.. She is NOT my girlfriend..
The girl nodded, "I'm his permanent girlfriend! What say Arniee?"
Arnav shook his head in disbelief: Meera just keep quiet for a while!
Meera pouted, "Look Khushi I know he is your husband! But he is my boyfriend since we both were small kids.. He is mine you know.."
Khushi frowned and looked at Arnav, Arnav looked at Meera with a shut-up look.
Khushi stomped her feet on the floor and walked outside of the mansion.
"She stole you from me!" Meera cried.
"And you're mad! She will really think I'm your boyfriend.." Arnav rolled his eyes.
"If you're!" Meera smirked "You send Aman to pick me from the airport, just to go out with her.."
"Yeah. What's the problem with Aman now?" Arnav asked.
"Not a problem! But you should be the one to pick me, you're my friend!!" Meera cried.
"The last line you said, go and say it to Khushi NOW Meera.." Arnav said pushing her outside the mansion with him.
"You're my boyfriend Arniee.. Permanent one.. Bye bye.. I need to rest.." Meera ran inside the mansion.
Arnav muttered "What the..", he glanced at Khushi in the car glaring at him. She just saw him pushing Meera outside the mansion, and thought again wrong about him!
*****************************************
Arnav parked the car, and his family excitedly got out.
Anjali and Mami went to the ladies shop, Mami wanted to take Khushi also to choose for her, but Anjali denied.
Khushi was like it's-okay! She smiled and started roaming around few shops which grabbed her attention.
Mama and Akash, went to men's shops, to buy new shirts for them. They asked Arnav to join them, but Arnav denied and followed Khushi.
Khushi entered in a supermarket, taking out her diary from her purse she checked in the list what's need to be bought.
Arnav chuckled staring at her doing that, she never leaves her diary!
Khushi took the shopping cart and started looking for the items she need at home.
Arnav followed her, he cleared his throat.
Khushi turned to him, "What do you want? Write down in my diary, I will buy it.. Then go away from here.." she handled him the diary and a pen.
"I don't want anything!" he gave it back to her.
"Why did you came here then? Go with Mama and Akash to men's shops.." Khushi glared at him.
"I have everything they are going to buy.." he shrugged his shoulders.
"Then what do you want?" she looked at him in disbelief.
"I..will..haan.. I will help you.. Since everyone is in two-team!" he said taking the shopping cart from her hands.
