Arnav reached in garden side, he found Di, Khushi and Payal chatting with each other.

"Kiss.." he cleared his throat and stood behind Khushi.

Khushi gasped hearing his words, her eyes widened as she looked back at Arnav with crying face shaking her head in 'no' pleading him to not say what happened in her room to their family.

Arnav smirked staring at her then looked at Anjali, "Kiski baat kar rahi ho Di? (About whom are you talking about Di?)"

"We were talking about NK.. Remember when he fell down the bed scared of Mami's make up?.." Anjali asked smiling.

Khushi sighed in relief.

"Haan.. bechara ka kiss..(Khushi looked at him with wide eyes) kismat hi karab tha un dino mein (his fate was bad in those days)" Arnav finished with a lopsided smile.

"Bechara NK.." Anjali pitied him remembering the old days he used to visit them.

"Khushi come here.." NK called her with excitement on his voice.

Khushi went towards him and sat on bench beside him, all this while Arnav's dark eyes were following her and as soon as she took seat beside NK, he felt something burning on his heart. So he just moved away from there.

"Bhai.." Akash came behind him.

"Bhai Bhai kya laga ke rakha hai Akash.. Go behind Payal and spend some time with her.. You both have to get married this year only, not after ten years!" Arnav replied irritated.

"Did Aman do something wrong in office?" Akash asked confused seeing his brother getting angry all of sudden.

"Har galat kaam Aman nahin karta hai (It's not Aman who does every wrong work!)" Arnav said rolling his eyes.

"Then?" Akash asked.

"Just go and woo Payal.. Don't eat my brain Akash!" Arnav said irked.

Akash gulped and nodded, he fled from there before Arnav blast on him.

Meanwhile NK was having a video call with his mother and he had called Khushi so that his mother could talk with her.

"She's Happiness.. I mean Khushi ji.. Mom, just by looking at her you find happiness, right Mom?" NK said pointing at Khushi.

Khushi smiled brightly at the lady appearing on NK's phone screen, she greeted: Namaste aunty..

"Namaste.. Wow, traditional girl with traditional values!" NK's mom seemed overwhelmed, "Unlike those girlfriends of yours!"

"Oh mom.. Don't start.. They were my ex girlfriends!" NK whined.

"And she's your?" his mother asked with teasing smile.

Khushi understood that NK's mother is misunderstanding her to be NK's new girlfriend. Her thoughts went to when she said she's just Arnav's.

"I'm his friend ONLY.." Khushi said interrupting NK.

"Yeah right.. Happiness is my friend!" NK nodded smiling.

"By the way, where's Arnav? I've a great news to share with him.." NK's mother said.

"Great news??" both NK and Khushi asked curiously.

"Haan.. I found a perfect woman to get married to him.. She's that perfect that neither his family nor him will reject.. she's a combination of traditional and modern.. I mean she wears traditional clothes and has good values just like his family likes and is educated, very intelligent, modern thinking and hard working girl just like Arnav likes.. So hui na perfect woman for ASR?"

Khushi gulped hearing all this, her eyes moistened on it's own. She cursed herself for even saying that she's his when she will never get him, she's not his type of woman!

"Wow Mom.. Who's this perfect woman?" NK asked shocked seeing his mother praising someone like this.

"Chandini!" his mother replied, "I will send the picture to Arnav and you ask him if I should take forward this matter or not? I'm sure he will say yes only.. and yes.. I will send her number to Arnav also, he can chat with her and get to know more about her.."

"Okay.." NK nodded and hang up the call.

After sometime Arnav came as Anjali called him to join them to have dinner. He was engrossed on his phone.

Khushi thought he is already chatting with Chandini.

"Kya hai yeh Khushi? Agar Arnav ji Chandini se baat bhi kar rahe hain, toh tujhe kya? (What's this Khushi? If Arnav ji is even talking with Chandini, then what does it matter to you?)" she looked away wiping the corner of her eyes, but her eyes moistened on it's own again, she became irritated with herself, "But what was the need then to make me say that I'm his when he will get married to another woman? What was the need to invite me to have dinner with him that day? What was the need to make me feel special with my traditional clothes with him on that five star restaurant? What was the need to save me and stand for me against Lavanya ma'am? What was the need to ask me to call him Arnav ji? What was the need to save me from having accident that day I became chudail to stop rickshaw? What was the need to share his past with me then? What was the need to gift his watch to me? What was the need to kiss me on my forehead, my knuckles and now.. my.." she stopped biting her lips to control her sobs.

"Khushi let's go and have dinner.." NK pulled her with him and both sat together beside each other.

Arnav kept his phone aside, then his eyes fell on Khushi with NK, he shut his eyes tightly to control himself. Why didn't she came to sit beside him?!

He looked at her and signaled her to sit beside him.

Khushi looked at him with her big hazel eyes glistening, she nodded sideways with a pout.

Arnav glared at her. She turned her face away ignoring his looks.

"Khushi what do you eat? I will serve for you!" NK said showing her all the dishes.

"She's not a baby.. she can serve for herself!" Arnav gritted his teeth.

Nani and Anjali giggled watching him turning red in jealousy.

"Let NK bitwa be a gentleman! What problem do you have Chote?" Nani asked smirking.

"But Nani .." Arnav wanted to argue but Khushi cut him, "Nanhe ji you serve for me only.. I want dal makhani with roti.."

"Sure.." NK smiled and served for her while she smiled sweetly at him making Arnav furious.

During their peaceful dinner, Khushi was completely ignoring Arnav's presence and only giving her fully attention to NK cracking jokes with him. Nani and Anjali were having a great time watching Arnav getting red and red in anger. Payal and Akash were exchanging sweet gestures to each other, such a passing the dishes to one another, or pouring juice in glass, sometimes even asking if she/he wanted this or that. Mami wasn't liking their proximity at all and even complained to Mama who shut her up by stuffing food into her mouth.

After dinner finished, they all gathered around and decided to play dumb charade. Mama and Mami didn't want to play games, so they went to rest in their room. Akash and Payal were walking around while chatting, so family decided not to disturb them. Only Khushi, NK, Anjali and Shyam, Arnav and Nani were left.

"So let's all make teams.." Anjali said.

"Me and NK are one team!" Khushi announced smiling then glanced at Arnav to show him proudly.

"Chote you and Nani.." Anjali giggled, "Today you will know how does it feel how it's to be in Nana's category!"

Arnav glared at Anjali as everyone started laughing at him.

He sat with Nani who assured him that both will only win this game.

"As you're getting older, you don't even remember where you kept your things, how will you remember movies name Nani? And I don't even watch these stupid Bollywood movies.. We will not win!" Arnav whined.

Nani pouted embarrassed, "No problem.. It's just a game.. Why are you getting tensed?"

Arnav kept quiet and tried to calm himself.

Khushi started the game, Anjali told her name of movie (Dil Toh Pagal Hai).

Khushi raised her four fingers, NK nodded: Four words right?

Khushi nodded, then she enacted the movie name and NK guessed it correctly.

Khushi jumped in happiness and high five with him making Arnav clutch his fist.

"Now Khushi will choose the movie name to Chote and Nani's team.." Anjali said.

Khushi went towards Arnav and whispered on his ear, "Bewafaa (Unfaithful)"

"What the.. How am I going to enact this?" Arnav frowned.

"Zyada mushkil nahin hai.. Tum to vaise hi ho (It's not that difficult.. You're like that only..)" Khushi said sarcastically and went to sit with NK.

Arnav stare at her going stupefied, did she just call him unfaithful?

Shrugging he tried to enact this word to Nani, but she didn't got it. They lost 10 points to Khushi and Anjali's team (5 points to each team).

Like this they played for sometime, and winning team was Khushi's.
As they were declared winners, Khushi hugged NK happily and both danced in joy.

That's it! Arnav lost all his patience, he marched towards Khushi and grabbed her wrist tightly pulling her with him.

Shyam, Anjali, NK and Nani looked at each other worriedly.

"Oh my.. What's Nannav going to do with Khushi?" NK asked.

"I don't know.. He seemed to be very angry.." Anjali said nervously.

"Let's go and stay near.. In case Khushi bitiya shouts.. She would need our help!" Nani said and the three followed her hurriedly inside the farm house.

***************************************************************************

Arnav's room..
As soon as they reached in the balcony of his room, he grabbed her by shoulders harshly and roared angrily: Why are you doing this dammit?

"What? Just leave me.. You're hurting me.." Khushi cried struggling on his hold to free herself.

"What? You're still asking me this.." he gritted his teeth as his eyes turning dark and redder in anger, "You're completely and totally ignoring me dammit.. As if I don't exist for you.. Only that monkey.. Why are you giving importance to him and not me?"

"Aapko kya farak padta hai?" Khushi asked while tears slipped from her eyes.

"Of course farak padta.. bohot farak padta hai dammit.." he shouted again.

"Lie.. Stop lying to me, will you?" Khushi shouted back crying, "You forced me to say that I'm yours.. I said it.. but you didn't say it that you're mine, WHY?"

"Haan to main kab mana kiya (when did I deny?).. I'm just yours too dammit!" he shouted.

"Jhoot. (lie)" she sobbed looked down.

He let go off her shoulders, and whispered huskily staring at her, "Sach (True)"

Khushi stare at him with moist eyes.

Rabba vee.. ohhh.. Rabba vee..

"Then why are you getting married to Chandini?" Khushi cried.

"But who said to you that I'm getting married?" Arnav groaned.

"You're getting married.. I know everything.. NK's mother found a perfect woman for you.. she also sent pictures of that Chandini to you and you were chatting a while back with her also.. Don't lie to me.. You will break my heart more.. Already I started liking you.." Khushi sobbed like a baby.

She hugged Arnav tightly burying her face on his chest, "I.. don't.. want you to get married.. to this girl.."

"Khushi I'm not getting married to any fake moon!" Arnav said stroking her hair gently smiling as he finally understood the reason of her strange behavior.

"Jhoot.." she sobbed more.

"Sach!" he whispered pulling her closer to him.

"Prove it then!" she whispered.

Arnav ran his fingers through her hair making her look up at him, he leaned closer to her and pecked her lips softly and gently.

Khushi stare at him numb, the feeling of his lips on her were still there, this was all so new to her! Her heart was beating loudly, her cheeks turned to red shade, she took few steps back keeping her hand on her chest.

But staring at him was making things worse to her.. She was feeling butterflies on her stomach.

"Yeh apne kya kiya? (What you did?)" Khushi asked stammering.

"What? Kiss?" he asked smirking, "You asked me to prove.. so.."

"Nothing gets proved with this.." Khushi looked away hell embarrassed.

"It does.. It's not just a kiss, but a promise.. That you're mine!" he said huskily.

"You're also mine!" she pouted frowning cutely.

"I'm yours.. Just yours!" he smirked seeing her getting possessive about him.

Realizing what she blurted out, Khushi gasped with wide eyes. She immediately set to escape from his room when Arnav's words stopped her on the way.

"Don't go close to NK!" he said.

"Aap bhi Chandini.."

"I will not even see her pictures!" Arnav assured her.
