Night

At RM

From the time Arnav and Lavanya reached Delhi Lavanya was surrounded with stupid questions about anything and everything as they know they can't get a word from ASR. But they realized it later that they couldn't get much information from Lavanya too.

Lavanya was irritated to hell and was missing her friends terribly. The only relief she had was as Pawan is on bed rest for at least two months they will not start with the topic of marriage. Today Arnav was working late and as she was hell bored she told them she is calling it a night as she is tired.

Next morning

Arnav was walking down the stairs thinking why Khushi hasn't called yet as the normal time got over and he was worried thinking about last time. That's when he heard Chachi taunting Lavanya for waking late and she without listening to anything was loudly singing some irritating songs and eating fruits as today too they made Anju's favorite food. He shook his head at his sister's crazy antics. That's when his phone rang and he sighed and smiled seeing 'Kiya' flashing on it.

Arnav: Hey... good morning wifey

Khushi: (Pouting) not good hubby

Arnav: (Facepalming) oh please don't tell me it's a water fight again

Khushi: No ... today she planned a new drama today 

Arnav: And what is that

He sat beside Lavanya and mouthed a 'good morning' side hugging her. Others looked puzzled seeing him in a good mood

Khushi: (Sighing) at morning she came to the room to sleep with me saying she wanted to cuddle me. Then she mumbled that she wanted to eat pancakes

Arnav: Whattt ... she and pancakes?

Khushi: Yeah I too thought that but we cannot predict K3's mood so I made blueberry pancake for her hoping she will eat anything healthy even leaving my sleep but you know what the little devil said? That will be my hallucination as that is your favorite and she can't even think of eating that let alone asking for that and top to it she didn't even come to our room. And even Dad supported her saying he woke her up from her room only and then I was like (Pouting) was I really hallucinating?

Arnav started to chuckle loudly hearing Kiran's creative pranks and imagining Khushi's confused face. All looked at him shocked to see him chuckling so freely that he found it even difficult to breathe. After some time he collected himself and said

Arnav: Okay ... (Smirking) but you gotta agree with me it was a novel idea. By the way, you believed it was true (Again chuckled)

Khushi: Ah ... ah, laugh ... laugh I knew you will do that only. After all, she got this type of innovative ideas from you only and ... this is you guys' favorite hobby, to irritate me. (Sighing) it is my fault to even tell you all this and giving you another reason to tease me. And novel idea ... well thanks to Dad otherwise I would have gone mad

Arnav: Shittt ... he spoiled it. Anyway, what is this blueberry one?

Lavanya nudged Arnav and raised her eyebrow asking whom and he mouthed Kiya. Lavanya gestured she too want to talk and he gestured one minute.

Khushi: Yeah ... it's my new found recipe; I will make it for you later. Anyway, leave all that had breakfast ... what is today's special ... and where is Lav?

Arnav: Nothing special, toast as usual and Lavi is here irritating the hell out of me to talk to you

For which Lavanya hit his hands

Khushi: Hey ... don't you dare blame my bestie and now give her the phone

Arnav: Oh...kay ... okay (To Lavanya) here

He gave his phone to Lavanya and Sheetal who was standing behind them to serve Arnav Ji got sad seeing a beautiful girl's photo on his phone and to see him talking to her very freely. Anjali and Payal too saw the photo and wondered who that is. Akash guessed it may be either Khushi or Kiran and wondered why they are too much important to him. Dadi was observing Arnav and seeing his expressions she remembered him saying about some daily complaint last time the 'Kiddu' had called. She wondered is this one of that calls but nevertheless concentrated on Lavanya's words like others.

Lavanya was chatting nineteen to dozen with her bestie and Arnav can guess from Lavanya's double meaning talks what their conversation is about and so a smile was constantly playing on his lips. All were amused to see his smile and wondered how close he is to the caller. After Lavanya finished her call Anjali asked immediately

Anjali: Lavanya who was on the call (Arnav raised his eyebrow smiling inside as he knows Anjali is asking Lavanya as she is afraid to ask him)

Lavanya: My friend

Anjali: And what is her name?

Lavanya was about to answer but Arnav interrupted her as he knows the trio had seen Khushi's photo and just couldn't read the name due to the smaller font during the call from the distance and so is trying to get it.

Arnav: Why? Do you know all her friends?

All frowned seeing his attitude while Lavanya stifled her laugh. That's when Manav called on Anjali's phone, she attended it and after ending it she said

Anjali: Dadi Papa called and said he will come in a few days and some guests are also coming with him

All nodded their head not understanding who that is but Arnav and Lavanya looked at each other and winked. Men then rushed to the office and Arnav reminded Lavanya to visit the orphanage and hospital as per Manav had asked, who was more than ready to oblige, happy to be away from the hell called RM.

After one week

In the USA

Kiran's exams and prom got over and she was very excited to go to India for the first time and of course to meet her dear Arnie too. But Manav stuck with an urgent surgery and thus he can't leave the place for a few days which upset all. The reason was simple since their reunion, they together celebrate everyone's birthday and missing Arnav's birthday was not settling with them as it is will be over before they reach India. Knowing the news Lavanya and Arnav too got very disturbed. This one-week Arnav was very busy and he got only late-night chat as the time to spend with Khushi and now as their journey delayed it upset him more.

That night Arnav was, as usual, talking to Khushi on phone sitting on the poolside along signing some papers.

Arnav: Yaar ... I already miss you too much now I will miss you guys more, as you know I have never 'really' celebrated my birthday without you all

Khushi: Why? The guys may be planning something

Arnav: But I don't want to celebrate without you, so I told Aman not to plan anything

Khushi: Oh ... then he can't plan anything (Smirking) I mean he will be afraid that his Kadoos boss will fire him if disobeyed his orders

Arnav: (Chuckling) that's true ... but Rahul will plan something with the orphanage kids so that I will not refuse. I told you right, it was like that until we joined Harvard.

Khushi: Hmm

Arnav: Anyway leave that, you had breakfast?

Khushi: No, Kiddu and Dad were playing video games, once they finish we are going to have it

Arnav was about to reply but heard some sounds and looked back to see Anjali and Sheetal standing on the room doorstep eavesdropping his conversation. That is something he never likes if somebody does that, overhearing one's conversation. And now it was Anjali and that Ms. Jha who did this and that too his private conversation with his wife. He looked at them furiously which made them avert their eyes.

Arnav: (In the phone) one second, baby, (Loudly with gritted teeth) Anjali ...  don't you think it is necessary to knock before entering a room ... also it is too bad to overhear other's talks?

Anjali: Why I have to knock to enter your room, you are my baby brother

Arnav: Cut the crap Anjali ... what's the matter?

Anjali: (Arrogantly) I have something to talk to you

Arnav: (With an irritated expression) wait. (Whispering on phone)Kiya, I will talk to you later ... you have breakfast and then call me, Ok?

Khushi: Yeah

While ending the call his eye's fell on the watering can on the poolside and to place it in the garden he went there. Anjali too followed Arnav to his garden but when Sheetal was about to enter

Arnav: (Shouted) Stop right there ... outsiders have no entry here

Sheetal flinched hearing his tone and Anjali pressed her shoulders as if consoling her. They walked into the small lounge with a recliner and two chairs there. Arnav sat on the recliner and Anjali on Chair. Anjali gestured Sheetal to sit beside him but Arnav's one deadly look was enough for her to take the other chair.

Arnav: What you want to talk? Complete it fast ... she will call again

Anjali: Who was it Arnav? And you ... you are talking to a woman at this time of night? (As if explaining to a kid) Arnav ... she may be your client but talking to a lady at this time of night is not good ... you have to consider at least what will others think?

Arnav: Excuse me! ... Anjali, how many times I have to tell you not to interfere in my personal matter. I haven't asked you what is good or not for me, and you very well know I will do what I like. So it is better if you store it in your thick head. And for your information, it was my friend, not any client

Anjali: Oh so it was not a business call. Who is that friend for whom you will even ignore your Di?

Arnav: (Irritated with her talks) my girlfriend

Anjali: ARNAV! ... what the hell are you talking about? How can you have a girlfriend? You said you don't like it when I interfere in your personal matter. But now this concerns Sheetal too

Arnav: What the! ... what is she has to do with it? And why can't I have a girlfriend? Of course, I can have one if that is both of us want

Anjali: You are kidding right... Arnav you know you can't have a girlfriend when you are committed to Sheetal and you have to fulfill my wish

Arnav: Excuse me ... I don't remember any engagement happened nor any marriage then can you explain to me how I am committed to her? ... (Chuckling slightly) Anjali it is better you come out of your illusion. I am going to marry a girl whom I love not your choice and definitely not your SIL

Anjali: And you think we will allow you to marry a random person?

Arnav: And I don't remember asking anyone's permission for it nor I need one to take decisions on my life. You better understand that and put that into Ms. Jha's head too ... and ... yeah now please go I have work to complete before she calls

Saying this he faked a smile at them making Anjali walk away stomping her feet angrily. She directly went to Dadi's room followed by Sheetal and Chachi who was waiting for them outside. Arnav started his work so that it gets complete before Khushi calls. Anjali was hell angry and fuming so Sheetal narrated the entire conversation to Dadi and Chachi and at last, started crying remembering his harsh words.

Dadi: Sheetal Bitiya you please stop crying, he said all that just to make Anju angry ... and Anju you know he will react like this then why you are hell-bent on making him mad?

Anjali: But what does he think of himself Dadi? Huh! I am his Di and I have full right on him like Papa. And what did he said ... he will not marry my choice but I guess he doesn't know what Pandit Ji said he will marry only as per Parent's choice. (Determined) Papa like Sheetal and when he comes I will make sure this marriage happens at any cost

Dadi: Yeah, that's right. (Turning to Sheetal) Bitiya doesn't worry once Manav comes back everything will be good. (But somewhere her gut feelings said that it is not going to be that good as she knows Manav will agree with Arnav if he wants to marry someone he likes) Anyway, you both go and sleep. And Anju ... Manav called me sometimes before and said he will come only after two days but some of his acquaintance are coming tomorrow. He said to clean two rooms and to make the people comfortable

Anjali: (Sighing in relief) Really? Then I am relaxed Dadi as Papa will be here soon, as his guests are coming. This time I will make sure Arnav's marriage happen. By the way Dadi, who is coming?

Dadi: I guess someone related to business, he said Akash to receive them in the evening as he knows them ... so please inform him that

Anjali: Okay Dadi I will tell to Bhaiyya

Next day

It was evening and everyone except Arnav, Anjali, and Sheetal was sitting in the living room waiting for the guests. Arnav was as usual in the office. Anjali and Sheetal had gone shopping. Lavanya was sitting on the sofa after a bath sipping tea as it was a long day for her and she was tired. She was not interested in their stupid family talk and was thinking about the plans she made along with Rahul and Naina. But as she heard some guests are coming out of curiosity she settled there with her coffee. Suddenly calling bell was heard. HP opened the door and found Akash and he ordered him to pick the luggage from the car. Akash entered the living room with a girl, a lady, and a man.

All looked at their attires and DR (Devil Raizadas) thought they were from some foreign country because as per them Indians will not ... or better to say should not wear dresses like this. Dadi ushered them inside as they were 'guests' and everyone settled in the living room. Akash horrified thinking how to break the news to his family that, this is the same Kiddu and Kiya, but someone's squeal 'LAAAAVIIII' broke his thought process.

Yes, yes you guys guessed it right. The Khurana siblings are here.
