In the supermarket:

Khushi was trying to hold the packets of milk on her hand.

Arnav held it for her, and placed on the shopping cart.

"If you need help, then tell me! Why are you acting like you're super woman?" Arnav looked at her.

"I don't need your help! Go and help your girlfriend at home, she needs a clean room to rest.." Khushi rolled her eyes.

"I already asked HP to do that.." he shrugged his shoulders.

Khushi glared at him, and walked forward.

Arnav pushed the shopping cart with him following her.

"Khushi I said she is not my girlfriend. You're misunderstanding things.." Arnav said.

"Why did she say she is your girlfriend?" Khushi looked back at him.

"She was kidding with you.." he sighed.

"Oh really! She didn't seem to be kidding.. She said you're her permanent boyfriend.." Khushi gritted her teeth handling him a orange juice.

"Khushi you seriously noted everything about me in your diary! My favorite orange juice also.." he said with a surprised smile on his face.

"Who said it's your favorite? It's my favorite that's why I'm buying it.." Khushi frowned.

"Don't lie Khushi! I saw the yuck face you did when you drank that juice.." he rolled his eyes following her to another section.

"Acha.. You have a lot of time to waste on staring at me?" she smirked.

"At home I have.." he said.

"Yeah.. Karan.. Hmm.. Talk with her.." Arnav talked over the phone with his friend, Khushi turned to him finding it strange that suddenly he started talking things with no sense for her.

Arnav glanced at her and handled the phone to Khushi: Talk with him..

Khushi frowned: Why?

Arnav groaned: God Khushi..just talk with him..

Khushi took the phone from his hand glaring at him.

"Yes Karan.." she said.

"Hi Bhabhi! By Arnav's orders, I just called you to explain who Meera is. You don't need to be angry or insecure over Meera, Fast and furious Bhabhi, because she is my girlfriend!!" Karan said giggling.

"What?" Khushi asked shocked "Is she your girlfriend? Then what is she doing in our home?"

"Because my parents won't allow my girlfriend to live with me! You know they will start with "Get married" lecture so I told Arnav to keep her in your house.. And don't mind ahn, she is little mad!" Karan said.

"Ohh okay.." Khushi nodded smiling.

The smile on her face made Arnav sigh in relief.

Khushi handled the phone back to him, "Such a tiny simple matter.. Couldn't you explain me with your mouth? What was the need to call Karan?" she giggled.

"Khushi I will kill you very soon! As if you were letting me talk or explain it to you with your glares and angry statements.." he glared at her.

Khushi bit her tongue taking the red chilli powder and placed it on the trolley.

"Khushi why are you taking that? That's not written in the list.." he showed her the diary.

"Ohh" Khushi hit her forehead.

"You wanted to take the black pepper.." he said taking it for her.

"That's why you're Tom and I'm Jerry.." she smile sheepishly.

Arnav shook his head, and stayed silent for a while staring at her choosing other items.

"By the way, like this red chilli powder, you're also hot today.." he smirked openly flirting with his wife.

"In RED.." he added "Wait here, I will bring butter and cheese from another section.." He walked to another section leaving her.

Khushi looked at him going with big eyes and open mouth.

"Heyy DM did this Laad governor just complimented me now?" her cheeks reddened.

Khushi clutched her salwar near her chest, "What going on heart? Why are you always dhak dhak when he talks or behaves with me like this?"

Arnav returned and saw Khushi clutching her dress.

"Kya hua? Did you taste that chilli powder to check if you like this powder?" he chuckled silently.

Khushi glared at him and left her dress.

"Khushi..seriously..you tasted it? Why are your cheeks red? It's was just a comment..You took it really serious!" he joked.

"I don't know what type of husband you're.." Khushi took the butter and cheese from his hands angrily and left them at the trolley.

"Tom's type!" he grinned.

Her phone rang, and she picked it smiling, "Have you reached?"

"Yes! Where are you all?" Payal asked.

"We are just coming to you.." Khushi said and hang up the call, placing her phone back in the purse.

Khushi: Payal has reached. Let's pick her..

Arnav: What is Payal doing here?

Khushi: Our plan! She is going to make Akash jealous.

Arnav frowned: Wait, since when it's our plan Khushi? You didn't inform me about this..

Khushi: I was angry with you that day, I forgot to tell you..

Arnav: You're ousting me from the team!

Khushi: No, it's not like that Arnav..

Arnav: You go and pick Payal, I will pay this.

He walked to go, Khushi went to pick Payal outside the shopping.

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

"Hi Payal.." Khushi smiled.

"Hi Khushi! Hmm.. He is my friend.." Payal introduced her friend to Khushi.

Khushi greeted him and then the three went to look out for Akash.

"Look there.." Khushi pointed at Akash with Mama in a shop talking with each other.

"Okay! We should start our plan na.." Payal said playing with her hand nervously.

Khushi caressed her shoulders: Don't be nervous! Everything will go well. Now I have to go to Arnav, he must be waiting for me..

On the other side, Arnav went to look for Khushi but didn't find her, only Anjali and Mami.

Mami laughed at his face holding the plastic bags.

"Are you okay bitwa?" she giggled.

Arnav nodded.

"Chote give it to me, I will hold it for you.." Anjali said.

"You don't need to Di. I am going to keep it in the car.." Arnav said serious.

Anjali pouted and stepped back.

Khushi came running to their side, "Here I am.."

Arnav: Follow me!

Khushi pouted and followed him outside again.

"Why did you bring me outside? You know how much tired I'm!" she fumed in anger.

Arnav kept the bags in the car and closed it.

Then turned to her: Let's go to a cafeteria then..

Khushi nodded excitedly, but after few seconds, she pouted sadly: Are you angry with me?

Arnav: Why would I be?

Khushi: I know you're! Nani used to say to me that you don't show your feelings to anyone, but I can clearly see what's written on your face. That's why I'm sorry! I promise I won't hide any of our plans now from you! Pinky promise..

"Pink no! Give me a red promise.." Arnav smirked.

Khushi blushed profusely, she walked faster than him to not face him.

Arnav followed her with a sweet smile playing on his lips. Is this a start of a new life for him?.. He wants to stay away from her, but always does the opposite, is it a sign from DM that both are made for each other?!

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

Rahul and Payal were in the same shop as Akash and Mama.

Payal winked at Rahul, and spoke aloud: Rahul just try this shirt. I'm sure it will suit you..

Akash heard her voice, after such a long time for him. He smiled and turned back only to see her showing shirts to another man, her friend.

He felt jealous, Mama smirked staring at him: Akash.. Look Payal bitiya.. Is that her friend?

Akash nodded: And my enemy! Papa how do you handle when someone else comes close to Ma? Don't you feel jealous?

Mama laughed: I used to beta.. But with time, you realize you don't need to feel jealous you know..if she loved those men more than me, she wouldn't have been here with me and you wouldn't be within us! Understood? Your mother's attention is always on me, and not other men, but if she goes away from me for a while and spends time with another man, then it means I did something wrong.. Do you think you did something wrong with Payal bitiya?

Akash nodded his head: I did.. I did wrong with her Papa..

Mama patted his cheeks: It's the right time to apologize right? Otherwise you're seeing a glimpse of your future now..

Mama pointed to Payal with Rahul smiling and chatting with him. Akash looked at them, "No! I don't want this future.." he murmured and went near Payal.

"So my job is done now.." Mama smiled and continued to select shirts and pants for him.

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

Cafeteria..

Arnav and Khushi sat on a table for two.

"Shall I order red chilli for you?" he teased her going through the menu.

"It's enough now!! How much will you tease me?" Khushi pouted crossing her arms.

"What do you want then?" he asked.

"Strawberry vanilla ice cream!!" she said smiling.

"Okay! One black coffee and strawberry vanilla ice cream.." he said to the waiter.

The waiter nodded and went from there taking the menu card from the table.

"Don't you want to buy anything? Di and Mami are still in the ladies shops.." he looked at her.

"No!" she nodded sideways.

"Are you sure? Buy something.." he insisted.

"No. I don't need to.." she said.

"Why? Every girl likes shopping! And you have lot of money to spend on it.." he smirked.

"It's not my money. Its yours and your family! I just keep saying that it's my money, my property because I want them to fear me, and do what I want! But I will not use your money for my benefits.. It's yours only.. You worked hard for it, and you're earning what you deserve.." she said playing with her fingers.

Arnav stare at her impressed, this woman attracts him because she is different from everyone else he has ever met!
