Arnav was Driving towards home, Anjali sat next to him on the front seat of his SUV talking about anything and everything in this world with Arnav paying rapt attention to his sister's blabber while Khushi was smiling at her

“Khushi, She's a perfect nutcase when she wants to be, Don't mind her.” Arnav said jokingly

“How dare you chotte, I'm going to kill you!!” Anjali mock-threatened

“She's sweet.” Khushi spoke quietly, a small smile still sitting on her lips

“See, I have her on my team” Anjali teased her brother showing her tongue.

Arnav shook his head “You're one antique piece” He mumbled amused parking the car in the driveway of Raizada Mansion

“We're home!!” Anjali squealed like a schoolgirl.

“Di, Grow up!” Arnav hit her lightly on her forehead, Anjali pouted adorably.

Both the siblings got out of the car. Arnav opened the door for Khushi and helped her to get out of the car.

“Careful there” He supported her waist and led her inside the magnificent Mansion.

Khushi was looking at everything with an awestruck expression noticing which Anjali smiled.

“Beautiful isn't it?” She asked

“Very beautiful.” Khushi whispered in a trance

“It's all the fruit of Arnav's hard work and dedication, This.. house, Our properties, His office. He's worked hard tirelessly in order to afford every luxury of this world for his family.” Anjali said, pride evident in her voice for his brother's achievements.

Khushi smiled. Arnav made her sit on one the nearest couches “You don't pay attention to her, She's always praising me.” He said smiling

“You've done things to deserve that.” Khushi said

Anjali smirked, “Look chotte! You're absolutely right Khushi.” She said

Arnav gave her a ‘You're impossible’ look. Shyam entered the hall

“What's happening here?” He asked

“Sibling Banter” Anjali informed him, Shyam chuckled.

“And who's this beautiful young lady?” Shyam asked curiously

“She's Khushi, I told you about her right?” Anjali asked

“Oh. Of course, you told me. Hello Khushi, I'm Shyam, Anjali's husband.” Shyam introduced himself.

“Hello Shyam-ji” Khushi greeted

“Jija-ji, Where's Nani?” Arnav asked

“She was in her room, the last time I checked, Must be coming.” Shyam informed.

Just then, They saw Devyani Raizada coming out of her room wearing an off white silk saree

“Chotte, Anjali Bitiya you're back.” Nani exclaimed “Who's she?”

“Nani.. This is Khushi, Our new friend” Anjali introduced Khushi to her grandmother

“Namaste Nani-ji” She greeted politely folding her hands in front of Devyani Raizada.

“Namaste Bitiya.” She smiled at her patting her head affectionately “Come on everyone, Let's have dinner.”

Dinner proved to be a jolly affair, Anjali and Shyam were trying to make Khushi comfortable with themselves.

“You have beautiful eyes.” Anjali complimented Khushi

“Thank you Anjali-ji.” Khushi blushed slightly

“Stop with the Ji's Khushi, Call me Anjali or Di” Anjali chided softly.

“But.. Anjali-ji.” Khushi protested

“Anjali” Anjali persisted firmly.

“Okay, Di.” Khushi relented

“That's like a good girl.” Anjali beamed at her.

“So.. What do you do Khushi? I mean, professionally or academically.” Shyam asked.

“She's a final year law student Jija-ji.”  Arnav informed him.

“Oh, Which college?” Shyam asked

“MK Gandhi school of law.”

“That's my alma-mater.” Shyam exclaimed

“I hear that's one hell of a brilliant institution.” Anjali remarked

“It is Anjali, I've done my masters from MK Gandhi.”

“You can resume your college after two weeks, Till then, The doctor has strictly told you to rest.”  Arnav told Khushi

“Two weeks!!” Khushi exclaimed

“That's the least Khushi, You are very severely injured.” Arnav said sternly.

Khushi pouted

“What do you think would you pursue, Corporate or Criminal?” Shyam asked

Khushi shrugged. “I'm not sure.”

“You'll know, soon enough. Already in the final semester you need to work under a senior lawyer as an intern” Shyam said.

“I'm aware.” Khushi said quietly.

“You can always come to me, if you need any help. I'll try to help you in any manner I can.” Shyam said softly

“Thank you Shyam-ji.” Khushi thanked him.

Shyam smiled at her, patting her head affectionately.

Later, In the Living Room.

Arnav was working on his laptop while Shyam was engrossed in a file. Khushi was sitting in the middle of the room with a bored expression on her face when Anjali entered the hall supporting a tray.

“I have brought some turmeric milk for you Khushi.” She announced making Khushi gape at her in horror.

“Di.. What was the need?” Khushi asked

“Well.. Turmeric milk will help your injuries to heal soon.” Anjali said matter-of-factly

“The doctors have given medicines for that” Khushi said

“I know that, But This will help quicken the process” Anjali said biting his lip to control her smile and forwarded the glass to Khushi.

Khushi scrunched her face, looking at the glass with disgust. Shyam bit back a chuckle

“Quickly, After that you have to take the medicines as well.” Anjali made her hold the glass.

Khushi gave Anjali the best puppy face of hers, “Di.. It doesn't taste good!” She said making an adorable puppy face.

Anjali smiled, “Consider this as a medicine. Gulp the whole thing down at once. You won't even know when it's over.” She said.

“Di.. But-”

“Khushi.. Listen to me like a good girl, Drink this milk.” Anjali insisted softly.

Khushi pouted, “Khushi, Drink.” Anjali repeated a little sternly

Khushi held the glass between her palms and kept looking at the mixture with a childlike disgusted expression.

“Now!!”

Khushi glared at Anjali and gulped the contents of the glass down, Coughing slightly due to the bitter taste.

“Arghhh Di.. It's horrible!” She exclaimed.

Shyam and Arnav ended up chuckling at last, making Khushi go red due to embarrassment.

“God, You're so cute Khushi” Anjali pulled her cheeks

“Di..” Khushi whined.

“Okay, Now stop troubling her Di! Drop her till her room let the poor girl sleep, She must be tired.” Arnav said.

Anjali nodded thoughtfully. “Yeah, Come Khushi let's go to your room.” She looked at Khushi who nodded.

“Good Night Khushi” Shyam greeted her.

“Good Night” Arnav spoke, “I'm going to my room as well.”

“Good Night Chotte” Anjali greeted and dropped Khushi to her room

“If you need anything, Don't hesitate to call me Okay?” She asked Khushi once she had tucked her in her bed.

Khushi nodded.

“Thank you Di, Good Night.”

“Good Night Baccha” Anjali kissed her forehead and left the room keeping the night-lights on.
