Sur: Cool down lady hitler.. Main hoon naa.. ise to mai dekh lungi agle kuch din tak.. tu chill maar baas..

(Karan starts reading the last page)

Dear Dairy,

Today Khushi opened up to me. She told me everything that she was worried about and I was beyond shocked! I didn't know what to do but one thing I know is I will stand with her.. no matter what.. she doesn't want Karan to know anything as of now and of course I respect her decision. I have to!

Karan: Damnn.. iska matlab Khushi ke saath sachme kuch galat hai.. par wo mujhe kuch batana kyu nahi chahti? Ye kya baat hui bhala? Bhai hu mai uska.. par.. Kriti hai uske saath.. jab tak wo mujhe khudse kuch nahi batati mai kuch nahi puchunga.. I trust Kriti with this.. agar baat hadd ke bahar chali jaaye to I am sure she will persuade Khushi to talk to me..

Purvi Aunty and Kavin uncle asked me to call them mom dad and I happily agreed. They have been parental figures to me since I was 6 probably. Karan was trying to mess with me when I tried to give him Prashad and he stuffed an entire laddoo in my mouth. Even I broke it into two and stuffed another one in his mouth and everyone burst into laughter. Then I had to perform pehli rasoi rasam so I walked into the kitchen and Dadi asked Khushi to help me out. What help was she in Kitchen? We had to call Karan and ask about rhe kitchen whereabouts. I definitely need to memorize all this soon. I can't call him everytime I work here. Then we took all the stuff to dining table and everyone praised and enjoyed breakfast. Later everyone gifted me some or the other thing as shagun. Khushi's gift was so beautiful but then Karan said he didn't bring anything for me. I don't know what I was expecting exactly but I was hurt. Truly! Then he even asked me if I took my bag as I was leaving with Yash for pagfera and I was really worried if he had no intention to bring me back hut what he did, just made me fall in love with him once again!

Aww bechariii.. but I am happy you fell in love once again.. and with me again!!

He took me to the room and gifted me his traditional, family heritage, that beautiful beautiful diamond necklace and then that bag, he wanted to give gifts to my family. He said now it was his family too. I was touched and I asked him to give this to them himself. Even they will be very happy to spend some quality time with him. Then we did angoothi dhoondhne wali rasam where everyone had chosen their teams probably except the both of us. He first found the ring and handed it over to me, then I found it and handed it over to him and lastly we pulled it out together and the entire game was tie! Then Samu and Kittu left for London and I went home with Yash and Khushi for pagfera. I was spending some time with my family when he came too and he literally won everyone's heart at home. They were so damn happy to meet him for the first time like a family. They all have always considered Khushi as a part of our family but Karan never really interacted with them all these years and today when he did, he just made sure all loved with like their own son. I was so so happy! Oh! He even told us that he was called Gundu at home when he was young. That's funny.. I really wanted to laugh out loud but I controlled that urge real bad!

Damnn. Kya jaroorat thi mujhe use ye batane kii? Mai bhi naa.. but that's true... Isase pehle maine kabhi tumhari family ke saath connect hi nahi kiya.. but I promise aaj ke baad aisa nahi hoga.. your family is as much my family Kritss..

Baadme we went to get ready aur Dev aaj reception ke liye bhi nahi aaya.. bohot bohot bura laga mujhe.. reception ke liye jab hum pohonche to hamari special entry ke liye bohot amazing arrangements kiya the.. Karan asked for a dance and this time I didn't deny.. I knew he will make me dance without getting embarassed bhale mai kitni hi buri dancer kyu na ho.. phir Nihal bhi aaya.. we had a lottt of fun!! But that guy Nihal! He perfectly know how to get under my skin! Sabke saamne he made me and Karan feed each other upar se nonsense jokes crack kar raha tha.. aise jokes are fine when it's just us par Karan ke saamne shanti rakh sakta tha naa... Kya jaroorat thi mujhe aise embarass karne ki? Anyways, then we went home and as soon as I entered our room, there was a 360 degree change! He really transformed the entire room according to my taste.. he was not kidding that day.. he was listening.. he took care of every detail I told him.. everything seems to be perfect in this room!

Of course I was listening yaar.. As I promised maine room ko exactly tumhari taste ke hisab se renovate karwaya tha.. wo bhi ek din mein.. aur tumhari girly taste mein apna saaman aur choice match karane ke liye kitni mehnat kari thi maine parso raat.. raat bhar so bhi nahi paaya tha.. project karne ke baad study mein sone gaya aur ye karte baitha design..

This felt my room! After freshening up he again went to study room to sleep. Probably tomorrow I will ask him again to take other side of the bed. I am comfortable about us sharing a room now and I trust him with everything I have so it doesn't really makes sense if he continues to sleep in study like this. Today he even had a back pain and he didn't even tell me. I just happened to discover it with his expressions whenever he had to bend and his stretching every now and then made it even more evident. Tomorrow I'll make sure he takes a peaceful sleep on bed. Ok bye.. love you!

Your's Kriti...

Wow, I didn't see that coming! Itna notice kar liya ki back pain ke baare mein bhi pata chal gaya? Aur sachme mujhpe itna trust karti ho ki aaj raat apne saath ek bed par sone dogi? I can't wait for tonight already! Finally I know how much you love me Kritss!! And you need to know how much I love you too..

Jannu: seriously guys? Matlab mujhe to bhool hi jao tum teeno..

Shiv: tu to hamari Jaaan hai yaar.. tunhe kaise bhool sakte hai? Aajaa.. (she hugs them too)

Jannu: So.. mission jealousy is on, right?

Sammu: Noooo... I have a better idea.. Karan chalo na ice cream khaane jaat hai..

Karan: cool.. let's go.. chalo sab..

Jannu: nahi yaar.. mai bohot thak gayi hu and I am in no mood to have ice cream.. tum log jaake aao.. I'll go home..

Sur: Mujhe bhi nahi khaani.. in fact mujhe to chana chhor khane ka man hai.. garden mein jo milta hai..

Janu: perfect.. let's go!

Karan: umm.. weird.. but ok.. as you all wish!
(They leave)

(3 Hours Later At Sharma House, Kriti & Khushi were in the living room studying and Kavin & Purvi enter)

Purvi: Bacchoo.. Karan kaha hai? Tumhare saath nahi aaya?

Khushi: Pata nahi Mom.. hum log to Yash ke saath kab ke aa gaye the.. shayad aata hi hoga.. waise to kaafi late ho gaya hai.. Shiv aur Jannu di ke saath chill kar raha hoga kahi..

Purvi: Umm accha thik hai par mai aur Kavin business party ke liye jaa rahe hai.. Karan ko call karke keh dena ek to jaldi aake khana bana le tum teeno ke liye ya order kar le.. ok?

Kriti: Maa mai bana deti hu naa..

Purvi: Kriti bilkul nahi hn.. tumhara and Khushi ka test hai na kal? Chup chap padho tum dono.. waise bhi aaj cooking ka turn Karan ka hai.. he will manage..

Kavin: Exactly..! Aur Karan aaya kyu nahi abhi tak?

(Karan enters)
Kavin: kya hua dad?

Kavin: Karan kaha the tumm? Tumhe pata hai na aaj tumhara cooking ka turn hai.

Karan: Ohh shit.. mai to bhool hi gaya.. wo Dad actually Meethie aayi hai na to use ice cream hi khaani thi Chandan Nagar ki.. uska ice cream ke liye Chandan Nagar tak jaana pada itni duur.. isliye vaqt lag gaya..

Kriti: (in mind: Wow great! Kya life hai yaar.. biwi ko bhooka chhodke girlfriend ke saath ice cream date pe chala gaya aur upar se dad ko bhi bata raha hai.. matlab wow..)

Kavin: Meethi aayi hai? Matlab Sweetie Meethie dono aayi haii?

Karan: haa

Kavin: badi pyaari bacchiya hai donoo..

Purvi: wo to hai.. accha wo sab chhodo.. Karan, hum dono ek business party ke liye jaa rahe hai.. Khushi aur Kriti ke liye kuch banade ya order kar lena...

Karan: What? Par mai kyu? Ye dono khud nahi kar sakti kya?

Kriti: (in mind: hume koi jaroorat nahi hai iski madad ki.. mai bana lungi hum dono ke liyee..)

Kavin: Karan unki kal test hai unhe padhne do shanti se.. ek to chup chap jaake khana banao ya order kar lo.. waise option ki jaroorat to tunhe hai nahi kyuki sabko pata hai aakhir mein tum kitchen mein ghus hi jaoge.. iss mamle mein apni maa par gaye ho naa.. isliye behes karne ki koi jaroorat nahi hai..

Khushi: Totally agreed dad... Hamesha ka hai iska.. bolta hai nahi banaunga nahi banaunga aur phir order karne ko bolo to kitchen mein ghus jaata hai cooking ka mood hai kehke..

Kriti: (in mind: to pehle mana karne ki kya jaroorat hoti hai?)

Purvi: Accha accha ab ladna band karo.. Kriti, Khushi.. tum dono acche se padhai karna ok? Aur Karan.. dono ka khayal rakhna.. aur unhe pareshan ya disturb to bilkul mat karna.. samjhe?

Karan: Haa mom.. sab samajh gaya.. waise bhi mai kyu unhe disturb karunga? Mere paas apna bhi bohot kaam hai karne ke liye..

Kavin: chalo phir... Bye!
(Kavin and Purvi leave)

Khushi: Karan tum Chandan Nagar gaye the ice cream khaane? Matlab mere favourite ice cream parlour mein?

Karan: to aur kaha jaunga? Of course..

Khushi: What the hell Karan? Tum uss kaun wo Sweetie Meethie ko lekar Chandan Nagar tak gaye..

Karan: Sweetie nahi.. Meethie bass

Khushi: That's not the point Karan!!

Karan: haa to point hai kya? Chidh kyu rahi hai?

Khushi: kyuki tum mere aur Krits ke liye kuch nahi laayee...

Karan: haa to Chandan Nagar se yaha tak kya ice cream lekar aata? Be practical dude.. pighal nahi jaati wo icecream? Aur waise bhi mai waha sirf Meethie ko lekar gaya tha..

Khushi: haa to kuch aur le aate naa..

Karan: Chup.. apni bakwaas band kar, ye gaadi ki chabi le aur jaake mera phonee le aa.. bhool gaya mai laana.. (throws keys towards her and she catches)

Kriti: (in mind: ye kya obsession hai Meethie ka? Jab se wo aayi hai jaise kisi aur ki koi importance hi nahi hai.. Meethi Meethi Meethie.. bass yahi naam subah se dohra raha hai... Mere liye na sahi, Khushi ke liye kuch le aata to kya farak pad jaata?)
(She makes faces thinking all this and Karan notices her expressions and smirks)

Flashback

Meethie: Karan tujhe uss vaqt teri bandi ka chehra dekhna chahiye thaa.. I swear kya expressions the uskee.. (laughing)

Karan: wait wait.. meri bandi? Ma.. matlab?

Meethie: oh ya innocent you.. I mean Kriti.. don't tell me you guys are not together..

Karan: Ohh.. oh.. ok.. actually.. mai tumse sachme chhupana nahi chahta tha.. bass.. I wanted to.. make her thodasa jealous so wo kuch kahe, kuch react kare... Isliye tujhe nahi bataya.. sorry..

Meethie: oh come on now.. in fact humne to already plan banake rakha hai use jealous karne ka.. I am totally in for this.. maza aayega..
