Part 2

Next morning:

Khushi woke up in the morning. It is 6'o clock. She saw the room and realized yesterday happenings. She got up and looked beside her. she looked at the poolside to her surprise Arnav is not there. She checked in the washroom but he was not there.

She slowly took out her clothes and went to take bath. She came out, while she is getting ready, her gaze fell on Mangalsutra and Sindoor. How happy she was on the next day of marriage with Dhruv wearing them on his name ?? but today............... A lone tear escaped from her eyes.

She quickly wiped off her tears and went downstairs. Anjali ,Payal, Nani and Mami are in the pooja mandir. She went and joined them greeting. She took blessings from nani and mami.

After sometime mama too came there.

"Payalji. Where is Akashji ??"asked Khushi.

"Khushi.. Akash along with Arnavji went on jogging.." asked Payal

" so he went to jogging "thought Khushi.

Shyam too came there. Khushi smiled to him to which he reciprocated.

Soon they started Pooja.

They all came into the hall after pooja.

Then Arnav and akash entered returning from the jogging.

"Good morning " wished both of them to everyone. Arnav looked at Khushi who is staring at him but she soon turned away her face.

"Good morning chote and Akash "said Anjali then shouting to HP" HPji. Bring energy drink for Akash and Chote."

"RS. This is not fair. You said energy drink only for your brothers. "said Shyam in a complaining tone.

"Jiju. If u too come for jog along with us then Di will pamper u too " said akash.

"No need. I am perfectly fit." Said Shyam

"Shyamji. Akash is saying right. I think you should join them "said Anjali.

"Do u really think so RS ??" asked shyam

"Of course jiju. See u gained fat these days" said Akash.

Anjali observing shyam said "" Ha shyamji. Akash is saying right. from tomorrow u are joining them"

"Ok then if you order" sighed shyam. All smiled to him.

"Khushi Bitiya. Today is your first rasoi. You need to make sweet "said Nani.

"Ji nani. I will make it." said Khushi and went inside.

Akash and Arnav too went upstairs. when Arnav entered into the room, he opened his cupboard. His half cupboard is now occupied by Khushi's things.

Sighing he took his clothes, went for bath. When he came out, HP brought him coffee. He came downstairs for breakfast.

Already everyone present there. Arnav too sat on his chair with anjali beside him.

Payal and Khushi brought dishes from kitchen. They started to serve. Khushi clearly avoided him even serving too. Payal is going to serve but he stopped and self served. Finally Khushi and Payal too sat for breakfast.

" Khushi bitiya. What have you made for your first rasoi ??'asked Nani.

"Naniji. I have made kheer" said Khushi and serving it in cup gave to everyone.

While she is giving to Arnav, Anjali stopped her "Khushiji. you din't made sugarless one"

"No Di. why ??'asked Khushi.

"Khushiji. You don't know. Chote is diabetic." Said Anjali.

" I am sorry Di. I don't know "said Khushi apologetically.

"But Khushiji........." Anjali is going to say something but Arnav cutoff her" It's ok Di"

Anjali din't say anything and continued with breakfast. Arnav looked at Khushi but she looked away carelessly.

She very well knew Arnav being Diabetic but she din't want him to have anything made from her hands. Even Arnav too know well she knows about his diabetes.

"Chote. you have to take Khushi bitiya to her home for pagphere rasam" said nani.

"ok nani. I will leave her at her house" said Arnav.

"Not only that. You need to bring her back in the evening" said Anjali. Arnav nodded his head.

Khushi was reluctant to go with him but she has no option. Arnav observed her face.

After breakfast, Khushi and Arnav came down for going to Khushi's house. Nani handover her gifts for her parents. Soon they both started for the GH.

The journey for the GH is a silent one. Khushi rested on the seat closing her eyes with earphones in her ears while Arnav concentrated on the road.

As soon as they reached Arnav halted the car. Khushi opened her eyes and looked at the surroundings. She got down from the car.

"I will come by 4'o clock" said Arnav. she nodded her head without looking at him.

Arnav is going to start but shashi came out of the house hearing car sound. He came near them.

Left without any option, Arnav got down from the car. Khushi hugged her father. He is looking very happy.

Arnav came near him and took his blessings.

"Arnav beta. Come inside" said shashi.

"No No uncle. I need to go for office" said Arnav.

"Beta. Plzz come inside" requested shashi.

Thinking it won't be good to make shashi request more, Arnav nodded his head and went along with shashi. Khushi din't like it but she kept silent because of her father.

Arnav entered into the house. Garima came to him smiling. He took her blessing too. Khushi hugged her mother.

Arnav sat for sometime, shashi asked him about his business to which he answered and finally he left taking leave from them.

Shashi too got up and said " I am leaving for the shop"

"Babuji. I came to spend with you and you will leave for the shop" said Khushi.

"Beta. I will return in one hour assigning the work to that Ramu" said Shashi. Ramu is his worker in the shop who looks after it in his absence.

"Ok then" said Khushi and shashi left from there.

Khushi went into her room and Garima into kitchen.
