Part 4

IN RM:

Everyone are in the hall enjoying their coffee when Khushi and Arnav entered the house.

Anjali smiled to them to which they reciprocated.

"Come. Both of you here" said Anjali. Both of them sat beside Anjali.

"Khushi bitiya..come here "called Nani.

Khushi went near her. Nani gave her a packet. Khushi looked it at it confusingly.

"What is this Naniji ??'asked Khushi.

"This is gift for you on your first rasoi" said nani.

Khushi took it from her and opened it. It consists of a magenta color beautiful saree.

"Thank you Naniji. It is very beautiful" said Khushi.

"Now my turn "said Anjali and came near her. she too gave a box to Khushi.

Khushi opened it and found a beautiful pearl necklace in it.

"Wow Di. This is very beautiful. Thank you Di " said Khushi.

"You like it naa" said Anjali.

"Like it. I love it Di" said Khushi.

"Khushiji. You should thank me first.. I too went along with RS for shopping. I carried all her bags like a delivery boy. You can't even imagine how many sets she had seen. Even the salesperson are vexed.." said Shyam.

Anjali threw an angry glare to him while all chuckled.

"Chote. I informed you already that you too should gift Khushiji. Did you brought anything or you forgot ??"asked Anjali.

Arnav looked at Khushi's face whose face frowned hearing this..

"I brought it Di" said Arnav.

"Good. What is it ?? Now give to Khushiji "asked Anjali

Arnav took out a small box from his pocket and gave her. Khushi took it reluctantly.

"Khushiji. open it" said Anjali. Khushi opened it, there were a beautiful earrings in it.

"Wow chote. they are beautiful. Hai naa Khushiji ??" said Anjali

Khushi just faked a smile nodding head.

"Thank you" said Khushi looking at Arnav.

Though Arnav is surprised, he too simply nodded his head faking her a smile.

Arnav got a call and he went upwards attending it. Khushi sat with the family chitchatting and after sometime, she too went to upstairs.

Arnav is working on his laptop sitting on the recliner. Hearing the anklets sound, he raised his head only to see Khushi.. she closed the door. Arnav looked at her confused..

She straightly came towards him, kept the gift box which he gave him on the table.

"No Need for your any gift" said Khushi angrily..

"I brought it because Di asked me to "said Arnav calmly.

"I too take it as Di was there. Now when no one is in the room, no need to act" said Khushi and was going but stopped , turning to him" Mr.Raizada. How is the coffee ??"Arnav looked away.

Khushi came near to him evily and stood infront of him."It must be tasty. Isn't it ?? What do you think ?? I will bring coffee for you. Only in your wild dream.. One more thing, I very well knew you have diabetes, but I willingly din't made Kheer for you. Because you are not worth of it...I Just want to say by all these things that never expect anything from me, nor even a glass of water. You Know why ?? Because you means nothing to me, this marriage means nothing to me. I din't wear this Sindoor and Mangalsutra on your name. I wore them on the name of Dhruv. For me, he still alive, In my heart and in my every breathe. For the family and outside of the world, may be I am your wife but I still feel myself as Dhruv's wife.. I will live as his wife and die as his wife... I Love him a lot...(sighing) Leave it. Why I am explaining about Love to a monster like you ?? You Know only to play with other's life.." said Khushi and went to wardrobe, to take out her clothes to change.

Arnav stood there dumb hearing her accusations.

The words "Why I am explaining about Love to a monster like you ?? You Know only to play with other's life" are ringing in his ears.

He looked at her retreating figure painfully. A lone tear escaped from his eyes which he wiped off quickly.

Later when Khushi came out of the washroom, Arnav was sitting at the poolside with his lappy. Khushi silently went downstairs to help Payal in making dinner.

At the poolside, Arnav is lost in his own thoughts about his life. He din't expected that his life would take a 180 degree turn in one month. He din't expected dhruv's death and above all he married to Khushi. He could only see hate in her eyes for him always but he din't know why she hates him more.

He always believed in love and dreamed of a perfect life partner who loves him a lot and will be beside him in his every step... he wanted a person who loves only him... He is craving to be loved by someone.. it doesn't mean that no one loves him.... All Loves him but not more than Dhruv.. but he never jealous of Dhruv... As he is the younger one in house, all pampers him more... Everyone's first priority in the house is Dhruv.. especially his Di. Though she loves him a lot but Dhruv is her biggest weakness.. if she need to choose between him and Dhruv, then she will definitely choose Dhruv....It is only his jijaji who cares for him..... He is his mentor, Philosopher everything..... he understand him very well.....It is him who taught how love would be and said to him that a day will come where a girl enters into her life as his wife filling it with colors.... now more darkness engulfed his life..... When he saw Khushi for the first time, he felt Khushi is that girl who fills his little world , but all his dreams shattered when he came to know that she loves Dhruv..... Now he snatched Khushi too from Arnav.. But what pained him more is the hate in her eyes for him....

He came out of his thoughts when someone knocked the door, he asked to come..

HP entered into the room "Arnav bhaiyya.. Anjali Di is calling you for dinner"

Arnav nodded his head. HP went from there..

Arnav came downstairs for dinner. Khushi and Payal are arranging dishes.. All are present. Payal smiled to him which he reciprocated.. Other than Shyam it is Payal who understand Arnav well... she considers him as elder brother..

"Chote. Why did you take soo much time ??"asked Anjali.

"Di. Aman called regarding some work "said Arnav.

"You and your work" muttered Anjali.

"Khushi bitiya and Payal bitiya. You both too sit" said Nani. Both sat down. Everyone are having their food when mami asked" Khushi. Today morning your kheer is very tasty.. But from the next time take care. I am on dating so I need to take low calories"

"Mamiji. it is dieting not dating" said Anjali.

"Ha wahi wahi.." said Mamiji.

"Ok mamiji. I will take care of that " said Khushi.

"Really Khushiji. your hand has a magic.. Your kheer is very tasty.. Until now, RS is expert in making kheer. Now you beat her.." said shyam.

Khushi smiled to him...

"But Arnav bitwa din't taste the sweet today.. we all have tasted it" said mami

Arnav just faked a smile and continued with dinner.

"Do you know how to make salads ??'asked mamiji.

"Ji mamiji. i know it" said Khushi.

"Learn something from her.. You don't know anything. You know only to make my son run behind you holding your pallu" said Mami taunting Payal.

Khushi looked at Payal who seemed to be unaffected as if she is habitutated to them while others rolled off thier eyes..
