Raizada Mansion

All the ladies including Sheetal got ready to go out for the Karwa Chauth shopping... Payal pestered Khushi to go with them, even after she said she is not interested to go...

.

City Mall

.

Khushi stood looking at those beautiful dresses and sarees all the ladies were selecting...

Payal: Khushi... Come and select na...

Khushi: No Jiji... I have lots of sarees... I will use one of them...

Her eyes were shimmering with unshed tears. How can she say that she doesn't have any money to buy those clothes?

She saw her Jiji taking out her credit card which her husband gave her...

NK: Why are you standing here, Khushi? Why didn't you go and shop...

Khushi lost all the control in front of her best friend... She ran from there, crying...

NK ran after her, caught hold of her hand and stopped her...

NK: Now tell me.. Did that chudail said anything? Or Nannav?

Khushi: No Nanhe Ji... I am alright...

NK: Don't even try Khushi... You very well know that I can catch your lies easily...

Khushi: It's nothing Nanhe... I was thinking about my babuji...

NK: I am not taking it, Khushi... I know there is something else which is bothering you... For now, I am leaving you...

By then all the ladies walked towards them...

Anjali: What are you both doing here?

NK: I thought of having an Ice cream so was asking Khushi which flavour she prefers...

Sheetal: For that Khushi needs to know the flavour no... She mocked Khushi...

NK: If she has any doubt, I, her best friend is here to clear it... Khushi is not fond of icecreams so she doesn't need to know all the flavours...

Anjali: Leave it NK... Sheetalji was just kidding...

Payal: This is not the way to kid, di...

Evening

.

Raizada Mansion

.

All the ladies entered RM with hands full of shopping bags, except Khushi...

They saw Arnav sitting on the couch and drinking his coffee...

Aarav: ASR... I miss you... He ran towards him...

Arnav: Hi champ... He smiled...

All settled down on the couch... HP served them hot beverages and Snacks...

Anjali: We had grand shopping, Chotte...

Nani: That we can see Anjali Bitiya... Show us the dresses and jewels you all bought..

Everyone started showing their dresses...

Nani: Khushi betiya... Where is your dress? Show me...

Khushi jerked from her thoughts hearing Nani...

Khushi looked at everyone and said: I didn't buy anything... Excuse me I have to change... She said and started climbing the stairs to their room...

Sheetal: Thank you Arnav for the new credit card you provided me... I spend a hand full of your money... I know you won't mind... She said, laughing...

Khushi stopped in her track when Sheetal said that...

Khushi mind talk: Arnavji provided credit card for Sheetal?

The dam of her sorrow broke and she ran away while crying the whole way to their room. She has no courage to listen to anything more...

Arnav: No Sheetal... What?? Who provided you with a credit card?

Anjali: It's me who asked Aman to provide Sheetalji with a credit card till she gets her salary...

Arnav: Mmm...

Arnav noticed Khushi's withdrawal from the situation...

Arnav self talk: What happened to her? Why didn't she buy new dresses for Karwa Chauth... One week ago she was giving me a lecture on how to celebrate Karwa Chauth... About new dresses and all... Now, what happened?

Anjali: Chotte !!! I need your credit card to buy something...

Arnav: Where is your card?

Anjali: Its limit exceeded...

Arnav gaped at her.

Arnav: Its credit limit was twenty-five lakhs di... Do you spend twenty-five lakhs in one month?

Anjali: Yes... I took Aarav's admission to Blue Dale International School Chotte... I donated fifteen lakhs for that.. Then the rest I used for my clothes and jewellery...

NK: Di !!! Can I ask you something?

Anjali: Yes NK...

NK: You are at home 24*7... I have never seen you going out of this house except for temple visit.. Then why do you need expensive sarees and jewellery to wear at home?

By this time Arnav walked to his study to attend a video conference. On the way, he thought of a solution to stop his di's extravagance nature.

Anjali: I am Anjali Singh Raizada, NK... Sister of the business tycoon, the great Arnav Singh Raizada... I should dress like a queen...

NK: Yeah... Right... You are in some dumb world di... Simplicity is the new sensation... Have you seen Khushi, di... Even after being the great ASR's wife, Khushi is always simple and humble...

Sheetal: That's because she doesn't know how to dress up, Nanhe...

NK: Nanda Kishore... That's my name... You can call me Mr Khurana.. Don't you ever try to call me, Nanhe... Only my bhabhi calls me that... I like it that way only... Hope you understand... And about Khushi's dress up... She doesn't need to know, Sheetal... India's most famous makeover expert is a call away from her... Check the followers of Khushi on Instagram... You will know her friends' circle...

Sheetal fumed hearing him... She knows Khushi's friends' circle. Khushi is famous among all celebrities. With her charm, she made friends with top models, top makeup artists, top designers, top movie stars and so on... Sheetal understood that NK is a tough nut to crack... But she needs to befriend him to get hold of Arnav because NK is very close to Arnav.

After the video conference, Arnav walked back to his room... He entered his room and heard a sob coming from Poolside...He walked towards the french window and saw NK and Khushi standing there... Khushi's back was towards his side...

NK: If that was the problem why the hell didn't you tell me, Khushi?

Khushi: I didn't want to trouble you, Nanhe...

NK: What the hell are you talking? You are not any trouble for me... A saree or dress wouldn't leave me bankrupt... I am your best friend as well as devar, Khushi...

Khushi: Leave it Nanhe.. Don't tell this to anyone .. Promise me...

NK: I won't say... But I am not liking this system at all Khushi... You didn't want to tolerate all this...

Khushi: I know... Nanhe... Can you help me to get a job? Any job will do...

NK: I will get one for you... You need it... Otherwise, I will be forced to see you in a real phatti saree as Maasi says...

Khushi smiled hearing it...

Khushi: I am phatti saree only, Nanhe... Lately, I realized it...

NK: Why can't you talk to Arnav?

Khushi: For what? To call me a gold digger?

Arnav gasped hearing Khushi.

Khushi: You won't understand Nanhe... I don't fit here... In this house... In Arnavji's life... He prefers sophisticated Sheetal to just a simple me...

NK: Nannav is not like that Khushi... Maybe it's your misunderstanding...

Khushi: Is it a misunderstanding that happened downstairs?

NK kept quiet and nodded his head in negative...

Khushi: I wouldn't have said all this to you unless you confronted me...Thank you for at least considering me, Nanhe... You at least understood my turmoil... Anyway, try to get a job for me as early as possible... Ok... I am going downstairs... Need to prepare dinner otherwise Anjaliji and Aarav will taunt me...

Arnav was shocked would be an understatement...

Arnav self talk: What is she saying? Di and Aarav taunt her? Khushi needs a job? What happened downstairs? I was there na... How dare she say that I prefer Sheetal over her... Khushi you need to answer me...

Night

.

Arshi Room

.
Khushi came after bathing and stood in front of the mirror to apply sindoor...

Arnav: Why didn't you buy any dress today?

Khushi stopped what she was doing and closed her eyes... After mustering some courage she opened her eyes...

Khushi: Woh... I have lots of dresses so I didn't buy...

Arnav: Can I see the dress you are gonna wear tomorrow...

Khushi gulped and walked towards the cupboard and took out a saree...

Arnav looked at the saree and gave it back to her...

Arnav: A week ago, someone gave me a lecture stating that she wanted new dresses and accessories as it's her first Karwa Chauth... It won't look good if she wears old dresses wagera wagera... Now, what happened?

Khushi looked down hearing his sarcastic comment...

Arnav: Khushi, I am asking you... He raised his voice...

Khushi: Nothing like that... I just said my wish...

Arnav: Then why didn't you fulfil that wish, Khushi?

He walked towards Khushi and held her shoulders...

Arnav: Answer me Khushi...And what is this new job wala idea... And what happened downstairs that made you this much upset to even think that I prefer Sheetal to you... Tell me Khushi... He shouted...

Khushi bowed her head down.

Arnav: I want an answer Khushi... He yelled...

Khushi flinched at his yelling... All the pent up emotions came forward, and she retorted back...

Khushi: What do you want to know? Why didn't I buy a new dress na? Then hear me out... I didn't have any money to buy a new dress... My husband who is very generous to issue a credit card to his ex-girlfriend never thought of his wife once... Understand?
And about the job.. I have lots of necessities. I can't plead every time to your di to give me money... Since one week you are also busy and have no time to talk to me, so I can't ask you too... And your sister needs an explanation for every single penny she gives me as if I am a robber... And you don't trust me with your lockers too to get money from it... So I should earn and meet my expenses than feeding on your money...

Arnav stood shocked hearing her... He suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

Arnav: I am sorry... He whispered kissing on her nape.

After some time he pulled out of the hug, cupped her face and kissed on her temple...

Arnav: Khushi... Baby... The first thing you need to understand is you belong to me. You never want to ask money from anyone...
He took out a key from his wallet. He took her hand and placed the key on her palm... This is our locker key.. Since Shyam's fiasco, I keep this key in my wallet... That doesn't mean that I don't trust you or anything... It was out of habit I did it... I trust you with my life, Khushi... You don't need to plead, Jaana...
Everything belongs to you only... You are the sole owner of me and my earnings... You can take money or card from my wallet anytime na... You are my wife, Jaan...
Only you have that right to touch my wallet or locker or anything which belongs to me... Whatever is mine is yours, sweetheart... It's our's... I am so sorry that It never crossed my mind to get you a credit card... What a fool I am? About Sheetal is given credit card...
I didn't know that till today... You know na how busy I was that I didn't even get time for my wife... I never notice those simple things... It's di who issued that card for her. I will cancel it tomorrow and will deduct the amount she spent from her salary... I thought of it downstairs itself... Arnav's money is not for any outsiders to spend... Baby, I have a suggestion about you going for a job.. Why can't you join back to AR as my beautiful PA?

Khushi looked at him wide eyes...

Arnav chuckled seeing her beautiful face with a cute pout... He glanced at her in amusement... He held her hand and made her sit on the recliner. He sat down on his knees and held her hand..

Arnav: No one means no one is important to me than you... You may say that di is important... Yes, she is important... But not more than you... You are the most essential part of my life, Khushi...You are my life, Jaan... I need you for my existence... I love you with every fibre of my body, Khushi. I will die without you...

Khushi covers his mouth nodding a no ...

Arnav kissed on her palm and said: I am telling you the truth only, baby... Please understand.. Sheetal or any other girl is nothing to me in front of my Jaan... Only you matter to me. It's only you for me always... Aarav can never be my son, Khushi... I never had any physical relationships with anyone other than you.. Trust me with it... You shouldn't need to be insecure about anything... I am yours and only yours... Understand? He pinched her cheeks and pecked on her lips...

Khushi was overwhelmed with his confession. She beamed in joy and hugged him... She is relieved from all those negative thoughts now... Her Arnavji has cleared all her insecurities... She hugged him more tightly out of happiness... He too reciprocated the hug with an equal passion...

Arnav: Don't you ever ask any money or anything to di... That's not needed... She is spending your money only, Sweetheart... Tomorrow I will give you all my account details and keys of lockers too... From now onwards, it's you, who should handle it... I didn't want to give any stress to you... That's why I never involved you in any financial matters... You are my crazy butterfly na... I like you to be tension free... Now tell me what else you want me to do?

Khushi: Will you do it for me?

Arnav: Pakka Promise and your Pinky promise Sweety... Tell me...

Khushi: I want Sheetal and Aarav out of our house and AR...

Arnav smirked hearing her demands...

Arnav: Jo Hukkum Mere Akka ( Your wish is my command). He said dramatically and pulled her into his lap and kissed her to his heart's content...
