After having dinner, Khushi literally had to force them to sit together in the living room.

"It's my time for face packwaaaa.." Mami said loud enough to Khushi to hear.

"Your face is already tired of your face pack, give it a rest mami!! Today I've a better idea for you" Khushi smiled and brought hair oil from her room.

"Today let's work on your hands" Khushi handled her the oil, "Apply this oil in Payal's hair.."

"What?" Akash looked angrily to Khushi for making his mother work.

"What nahin, yes!!" Khushi glared at him "If Payal cooks every day for your mother, doesn't she deserve at least this small gesture of care from Mami? Is it a sin? Is there any rule that only bahu should treat and care for their sasuma, and not the vice versa??"

"Akash don't waste your energy on this mad woman, let her do what she wants.." Arnav said and shifted his eyes again to his laptop.

Mami glared at Khushi, and then held Payal's hand rudely, making Payal sit on the floor, she applied the hair oil in her hair angrily. Payal looked at Khushi like it-wasn't-needed!!!

Khushi blinked her eyes like I-know-what-I'm-doing!

Khushi sat beside Arnav then, who just sighed purposely for her to hear, "Thanks for helping me" she whispered to him in his ear.

"Ohh hello, I didn't help you. I just don't want to hear your lecture at this time.." Arnav frowned.

"I know you love my voice pathi ji" Khushi winked at him "And sorry also for making you remind of your Nani" she looked down guilty.

Arnav just looked back at his laptop.

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

Arshi's room:

Khushi pulled the blanket to hide her face, after sometime she pulled it off slowly, her heart started beating faster now, "A..ar..arnav.." she stammered looking at him who was typing something on his phone.

"What??" Arnav looked at her.

"Dekho bhoot (ghost).." Khushi pointed with her index finger to the door that was slightly open.

"You just look at that mirror, you will find one" Arnav curtly replied and engaged himself in his conversations.

"I'm not lying Arnav. Just look there is some shadow.." Khushi said scared, she jumped from her recliner and sat with him on the bed.

Arnav just glanced once at the door, and widened his eyes indeed seeing a shadow passing by.

"Ghost nahin, it's a thief" Arnav glared at her, and then went to open the door.

"Same to same, we get the same fear inside for both. Thief is no less than a ghost.." Khushi pouted and followed him to the corridor.

"Should I switch on the lights? It will be easy to find him hain na??" Khushi asked him, now excited to catch a thief with her not-so-friendly-husband!!

"I really wanted to clap for you when you replied to Lav, but now I want to bang your head on this wall. If we switch on the lights, he will get alert na" Arnav glared at her descending the stairs slowly.

"Why didn't you clap you egoistic Raizada?" Khushi looked at him angrily following him behind.

"Shh.. did you hear that sound?" Arnav asked her eying to the kitchen.

"Thief nahin Arnav, it must be a Monkey then who wants to eat bananas that HP brought today" Khushi said putting her hands on her hips.

Arnav clenched his fist trying to control his anger, "Let's go" he whispered and walked to the kitchen.

"Ohhhoooo are you scared now? Go and beat that thief alone then why do you need a woman? Be a man!!!!" Khushi scolded him.

"What the.. I'm a man!!" Arnav whispered angrily at her.

"And do you know who am I??" Khushi pushed him backwards with her palms on his chest.

"You're a woman.." Arnav replied like is-she-dumb?

"Haan.. I'm a wow-man!! You're ordinary, and I'm extraordinary!!!! I have super powers!!

Suna tumne wow-man.." Khushi said spreading her arms to show how big she is!

"Wow-man shall we catch the thief now?" Arnav showed her with his palms to the kitchen.

Khushi nodded smiling and went forward, while Arnav followed her behind with I-want-to-kill-you look.

Arnav switched on the lights of the kitchen, and started looking every corner to find the thief along with Khushi.

Khushi widened her eyes when she saw "Anjali" hiding behind the fridge.

Anjali pleaded her to keep quiet. Khushi nodded and looked at Arnav, "Pathi ji just go and ask the guards if they saw anyone"

"Patni ji you go" Arnav replied in his sarcastic way.

"Wow today you admitted I'm your wife" she smiled "See my cheeks are so red now, chaloo let's go to the bathroom, you will help me to wipe it.." she grabbed his arms and pushed him out of the kitchen.

"Wait..wait.." Arnav stopped walking "Isn't this thief your friend who came to steal here? And you're helping him?"

"Are you really Harvard student???" Khushi asked him raising her one eyebrow in suspicion.

"What the.. do you think I'm a liar?" he too raised his eyebrow like her.

"Why would I inform you then about the thief if he was my friend?? I just checked here, no one is here. Go and ask to the guards, maybe he or she fled" Khushi said pushing him outside.

Arnav shook his head and then went outside of the mansion, "Why did Di roam around the mansion like a thief??" he thought.

Inside the mansion, Khushi helped Anjali to go back to her room without being noticed by anyone.

"I deserve an explanation from you" Khushi looked at her serious.

"Wh..what explanation? I just wanted to meet my friend outside, and didn't want to wake anyone, that's why.." Anjali said turning her back to Khushi.

"What is truth or lie, one day will come out.." Khushi said and left her room.

"Pathi ji let's sleep" Khushi looked at him, sitting on the sofa.

"You go.." Arnav said for the first time softly.

"What you're thinking Arnav??" Khushi asked scared if he saw Anjali or not.

"Khushi just go away dammit..why do you like to poke your nose in everything? Go and sleep.." Arnav shouted angrily to her.

"You said the truth that day. You're more than a beast.." Khushi shouted and went running to her room.

Sitting on the recliner, she wiped small tears threating to come out from her eyes, "Ma never scolded me like that and he.. I will break his face one day.." she pouted pulling the blanket to cover herself.

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

Next day..

AR..

"I have an idea, what she wants, change your family right? And you want to get rid of her asap. So you can help her in changing your family quickly and in return you ask her for divorce" Karan said and his eyes lit in happiness finding a solution for the problem.

"No Karan. I will have to handle this nightmare for all my life now, after all she is my Nani's last wish. When Nani was alive I didn't fulfill her wish, now that died I have to fulfill her last wish.." Arnav said.

"Will you ever love her?" Karan asked looking deeply in his eyes.

"I don't believe in love Karan, and it isn't necessary to fall in love to get married.." Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Right!! After marriage you can fall in love too" Karan teased him.

"Or never..." he smirked.
