Chapter 3 - The stubborn family!
Early in the morning, Khushi was praying in Mandir with Mami and Payal. She turned to them and offered sweets.
"Only two of you pray in this house?" Khushi asked in an unbelievable tone.
Payal nodded. Mami glared at her: Go and make breakfast, don't start being friends with this girl..
Khushi: Why not?
Mami: Because she is my daughter in law and will hear what I say to her.
Khushi smirked: She may hear of you, but I don't. Today you're going to make breakfast my dear Mami ji. And Payal will wait here to eat your handmade food.
Mami jaws dropped, she glared at Payal.
Payal nodded: I will go and make the breakfast.
Khushi tried to stop Payal, who is stubborn.
Mami smiled: It's not to easy to fulfill Nani's last wishes. But yes I can help you, in one condition.
Khushi looked at her: What?
Mami smiled and pulled Khushi near her: Give me this mansion's keys and I will rule over everyone here.
Khushi giggled: I won't give you that, keep dreaming. And I will change everything in this house.
Mami frowned and left from there angry.
Mama returned home with newspaper on his hand.
Khushi looked at him and sighed: Partner ji you should have told me. I would buy one newspaper to you.
Mama: Ohh that's alright dear, this is my daily routine. You don't know how much fun it is walking on the roads alone early in the morning..
Khushi smiled: And you don't know how much it is to steal gol gappe from the vendors and eat with your friends.
Mama laughed: You do that?
Khushi nodded: Haan mamaji I just love doing it with my friends.
Arnav sat on the breakfast table and looked at both chatting, "That's your job only, steal people's belongings"
Khushi looked at him smiling: If you're hinting to Nani's property, then keep it in your mind that she was the one who chose me. I didn't steal anything from you.
Arnav looked away, and shouted to HP.
Arnav: My coffee and iron my suit.
Khushi: HP has so much to do and you will stop him just because of your coffee and suit.
Arnav glared at her: Miss Khushi I pay him to do that. Don't poke your nose in my matters.
Khushi said sternly: Go and iron your suit alone.
Arnav looked at her, while Payal served him his breakfast.
HP came with his coffee already prepared.
HP: I will go and iron your clothes now Malik.
Arnav smirked at Khushi. Khushi just looked away disappointed.
Arnav: No one will dance to your tunes here, got that?
Khushi was very irritated inside, she was feeling sad because no one in this family seem that will change, but still she faked a smile in front of him.
Khushi: Pathi ji don't forget today we have to go to court.
Arnav: I know..
Khushi: By the way where were you last night? Do you reach all day late like yesterday? Arnav sipped his coffee, "None of your business"
Khushi clenched her fist: Don't answer me, later you will regret..
Arnav: And how? By threatening me that you will take us out of this mansion?
Khushi: Nahin. By showing you that you're wrong!!
Arnav: You came here to fulfill Nani's last wish but I see you doing nothing here. You better return to the place you belong..
Khushi: You talk as if it is easy to change an arrogant person like you.
Arnav shouted: Then go back dammit..
Khushi shouted back to him: I won't.. If I go back, then it will be when I see you all changed.
Arnav and Mama looked at her surprised.
Arnav: Don't shout..
Khushi: Same to you. If you shout at me, then I will also. Don't think you're ASR, and I'm a scared cat. Everyone dance to your tunes because they need you but I don't.
Arnav just shoved his cup of coffee angrily and it directly fell on Khushi's feet.
"Ouch.." she hissed in pain.
Mama and Payal ran to see her.. They helped her sit on the sofa, Payal quickly brought first aid box, to heal her wound.
"Shh..it's okay.." Payal caressed her trying to calm a crying Khushi.
HP came running to give Arnav his suit and bag.
Arnav took it from him and went outside.
Khushi wiped her tears, "Devil.. I have never seen anyone so cruel like him.."
Payal: Everyone in this house is like this.
Mama: Is it hurting Khushi? Should I call a doctor for you?
Khushi nodded sideways: No mama ji. It will be fine, don't worry about me.
Payal applied ointment in her feet carefully to not hurt her.
Payal: Khushi if you really want my advice, then go back and live your life. Don't waste your time by trying to change them because it's impossible. Like today, you will get hurt everyday..
Khushi smiled faintly: It's not impossible Payal, it's that no one tried yet and I won't give up, I will keep up my promise to Nani, otherwise her soul will never rest in peace.
Mama nodded: Payal bitiya let's try it now. How long will we live like this? Nani died unhappy with us, now do you want the same to happen with me?
Payal nodded sideways crying, "Don't talk like this papa.."
Khushi: Please Payal help us.
Payal nodded: What we have to do?
Khushi jumped in happiness forgetting about her wound.
Payal and Mama helped her stand straight.
"Khushiii.." Mama glared at her.
"Ohh I forgot about this stupid wound.." Khushi smiled sheepishly.
" Now do I need to shout your name or what? Don't you want to go to the court?" Arnav returned looking at Khushi.
Mama: But Arnav beta how will she go now? Her feet..
Arnav: She is the one who wants this mama, not me.
Khushi walked limping near him: Let's go..
Payal looked at Mama like how will she handle herself.
Arnav walked forward not even helping her to walk, Khushi knew he wasn't going to help her at all.
Payal went running to Khushi, "I will help you till the car.."
Khushi smiled and nodded.
*****************************
After registering their marriage in the court, Arnav and Khushi walked out of the court.
Khushi smiled happily: Ohh ji finally officially married to a Beast!! Just don't know if like in that princess story, I will be able to change him into a prince.
Arnav: You will not, because I'm more than a beast..
Khushi: We will see Beast ji.. We will see..
Arnav: I'm getting late to office, so just take some taxi or rickshaw and go back home.
Khushi widened her eyes: But I'm hurt..
Arnav smiled sarcastically: You're not dead. So just go..
Khushi frowned.
Arnav: Ohh you don't have money? Owner of AR and RM, doesn't have money with her. What a shame!!
Khushi smiled: I don't need to shout to the world that I'm rich like you!! Bye. And yeah today I want you and your sister at home early!!
Arnav smirked: You won't find me.
Khushi folded her arms: If I don't find you at home, next day you won't take a step in that mansion. Remember that the guards only listen to their employer.
Arnav glared at her, he went to his car.
Khushi smirked, "I think this is the only way to set you in the right track!!"
She went walking alone till the mansion.
*****************************
Arnav reached in his office already barking at the guards for no reason at all.
"ASR is everything alright?" Aman gulped scared of him.
"What? Who are you to question me that? Just disappear from my sight now Aman.." Arnav shouted and went to his cabin.
"What does she think of herself? No one commanded me till today and she dared to do that!! I wish I could kill you with my own hands Khushi" he shoved everything that was in his table.
Karan reached at the right time, and raised his eyes, "Itna gussa (so much anger)"
"I will kill her one day Karan.." Arnav sighed frustrated.
"What did she do now?" Karan asked taking the papers Arnav just threw on the floor in his hand.
"She wants me to reach early home with Di.." Arnav frowned and sat on his chair.
"Ohhoo. Wife on action, Girlfriend out now.." Karan giggled.
"Really Karan. You chose a wrong time to joke.." Arnav glared at him.
"Sorry.." Karan chuckled.
"Don't be.. You just gave an idea now.." Arnav smirked.
"And what is the idea?" Karan asked suspiciously.
"Lav.." Arnav said and called Lavanya to his cabin.
*****************************
NGO..
"Hi Sweetheart.." Khushi hugged an old lady from behind, who was usual was talking alone and all kids already disappeared from her.
"Khushi.." the lady Madhumati turned to her smiling "My angel..you're back.." she kissed Khushi's forehead.
"Maa I'm not back!! You know now I'm married" Khushi pouted and sat on the table snatching the carrot from Madhu.
"What marriage? Without any ritual or anything.. This is not marriage bitiya. I hate that you're doing all this.."Madhu looked away faking angriness to Khushi.
"Ma I'm sorry. But I have to do this for Nani, I know you wanted to make me marry with Arjun. But life had another plans for me.." Khushi said and wiped the small tears on Madhu's eyes.
"What plans!! My son was so perfect for you Khushi. And you chose to marry that ASR. Is he treating you well? Sona why are you so selfless? Why do you think of others first than you?" Madhu shook her head crying.
"Ma please don't cry. I'm fine, and see I have to fulfill Nani's last wish otherwise her soul will not rest in peace. After that I promise I will stop being selfless.." Khushi giggled.
"I know you won't pagli.." Madhu hit her forehead.
"Acha, I just passed to see how you're. Now I have to go to see what Raizadas are doing.." Khushi said and got up.
"What? Now you came only. Bitiya let me serve you some snacks.." Madhu pouted sadly.
"DM what will I do to you? This is my house you know na. I don't need you to serve me anything!! But ma I have to go.. I'll come other day to talk with you well.." Khushi smiled and walked to go.
Madhu just shook her head in disbelief looking at the stubborn girl.
"I hope DM stays with you always" she whispered and concentrated on her work again.
****************************
Raizada mansion..
Khushi reached home and found Mami with her friends in the living room and Payal serving them soft drinks.
"Namaste.." Khushi smiled at the guests.
Payal looked at Khushi shocked, "You came here alone?"
Khushi whispered to her: Woh Devil left me on the court itself and I had to return alone.
Payal caressed her cheeks: Are you okay na? You feet must be really hurting now, go and take rest.
Khushi nodded sideways: Not now..
Khushi turned to the guests and sat with Mami.
"Mami ji introduce me to your friends.." Khushi smiled at Mami.
"You're not that important.." Mami mocked.
"Acha ji. I will be important when I throw you out of here.." Khushi said playing with her fingers. Payal just chuckled.
"Who is she?" one of the guest asked.
"She is Arnav beta's wife.." Mami said glaring at Khushi.
Khushi smiled at the guest, "But mami ji you missed one important point. I'm the owner of this property now.."
"Really? What is this Manorama? Didn't you told us when your sasuma dies, she would hand over her property to you and her son (Mama)?" the lady giggled mocking Mami.
"Actually.. I.." Mami smiled embarrassed.
"Seriously you let this little girl win over you.." all started laughing as they now had the opportunity to tease Manorama, who used to show off to them.
"Let's go. We don't want to stay with a loser.." her biggest enemy, Pinky said and all ladies followed her.
"Are you happy now? You spoiled my reputation!!" Mami looked at Khushi.
"Just showing you your friends true face, the one who stayed with you when you had everything now they just left you, when they got to know that I'm the owner of this mansion.." Khushi said calmly.
"I hate you.." Mami shouted angrily and left from the living room.
Payal smiled: Wow you're incredible Khushi.
*****************************
AR..
"What baby you're married.." Lavanya widened her eyes in shock.
"No baby I'm divorced.." Arnav replied sarcastically.
"But how this happened? And why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lavanya asked.
"What the.. If I told you earlier, would anything change?" Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Lav the plan is that you have to say to Khushi that we both are engaged and your parents want us to get married as soon as possible, just act got that and enough to convince her to divorce me.." Arnav said.
"But baby I'm model and I don't know how to act and all this.." Lavanya shrugged her shoulders.
Arnav face palmed, and Karan sighed: Lav just act, it's so simple.
Lavanya: It's not that simple Karan, that's why not all movies are hit!!
Karan laughed: OMG.. Lavanya you're not going to act in any movie. It's real life man..
Lavanya pouted and looked at Arnav, "Baby..I'm sorry.."
"Don't baby me now.." Arnav looked away sighing in frustration. One on hand is Khushi, other is Lavanya, both give him headache.
"Okay I will do it. Be calm.." Lavanya said softly..
*****************************
Raizada mansion:
"Hey bye..see you tomorrow.." Anjali waved at her friends and got inside the mansion smiling.
Khushi looked at the watch, then at her: You're quite late..
Anjali: So?
Khushi smiled: The fact Miss Anjali is that this isn't a hotel that you come at the time you want. This is a house in which people living here should be responsible enough to take care of it. Now you can't expect others to take care of it. And a lazy like you come, eat and sleep without helping.
Anjali: Look I don't want to hear your lecture okay!!
Khushi: No need to that also, just pack your bags and get out from here.
Anjali looked at Khushi with big eyes: You cannot threaten us like this everyday.
"You compel me to do it.." Khushi replied.
Mami: Now let her rest at least. Why are you tormenting her now that she reached home?
Khushi: Go and change your clothes, then help Payal in preparing the dinner for tonight.
Anjali: Excuse me why should I? Wasn't mami the one to stay in the kitchen?
Khushi giggled: Ohh God. Can't you cook Miss Anjali? Okay so you and Mami today will prepare a special dinner for us.
Mami went away cursing Khushi, while Anjali went to her room.
Khushi sat with Mama and Payal, the three high five.
Payal smiled: Now we will see Maa-Di Jodi in the kitchen today!!
Khushi nodded: And now you will call your husband home.
Payal smiled awkwardly: Nahin Khushi. He will be angry if I do so.
Khushi: Yes today he will, tomorrow he will, and this will go on, but one day he will listen to you Payal. Just don't accept defeat soon.
Mama nodded and patted Payal's check encouraging her to call Akash home.
