Good news and confusion

Khushi is in guest room, getting ready to sleep. She sees Arnav sitting at poolside and thinking deep. She comes there.

Khushi – Arnav ji....

Arnav – Hmmm

Khushi – How could you judge things so well in advance?

Arnav – I have been with Mami long enough to understand how she would behave in what situation. It was not a rocket science. I was feeling very bad for making you sleep on recliner. You gave me no choice. I am damn guilty about involving you in this.

Khushi – I was fine sleeping on recliner, why are you feeling bad? If you want to make me feel better you can gift me that book you gave me. To keep it with me permanently.

Arnav – I gave that permanently only Khushi. If you like so much you chose any book in my study that is yours.

Khushi – No I am not greedy, that was my dream book and I couldn't afford it when I was studying. I want to feel good owning it, reading it anytime I want. Oh you wont understand that feel.

Arnav – Ok fine. I really need to sleep. (He gets up but observes her hesitating) what is it Khushi?

Khushi – Did you get to know anything about that private number? (Those hopeful eyes, expecting him to tell something positive was making him vulnerable. Whenever he decided to tell her about himself something or the other was happening. Seeing him not answer) At least the name of the person Arnav ji...please.

Arnav – Who is he Khushi? (He just wanted her to share, what she wanted)

Khushi – Someone, very important. I thought I can get some details before Karvachauth.

Arnav – Oh yeah, you must go meet your husband that day, right? If not Karvachauth, soon... as I promised I will sort this for you (She just smiles) you want to take leave on Karvachauth? Di should be able to manage one day without you. Jeejaji might also come.

Khushi – No I don't need, I am good. Good night, Arnav ji (She walks back. He thinks)

Arnav – Khushi, your desperation is killing me. What do you need from me? Are you trying to reach your sister through me? You are making me vulnerable, and these thought I get about you is making me feel cheap about myself. You are ready to sacrifice the karvachauth time with you husband to find me? What is it with you Khushi?

Khushi slowly made to hearts of Nani and Anjali. It's been 2 months Since Khushi joined. Arnav's care concern has made Khushi fall for him head over heels. But she keeps this feeling to herself as she is married and is yet to sort things with her husband. Anjali's third month scan is scheduled.

ANJALI's ROOM

Khushi – Anjali ji... you need to be calm.... You are freaking out which won't give right scan results.

Nani – Yes Anjali you should not behave this way. (Arnav comes there)

Arnav – Ready?

Anjali – Chote, can we do this tomorrow? (He sits next to her)

Arnav – Di...This is very important you know it right? (Anjali nods) You can postpone but cannot deny so what's the point in denying it today? Tomorrow also you need to do same. (Anjali thinks)

Anjali – Yes Chote...let's go...(She happily agrees)

Nani – Finally...

All 3 go to hospital finish the scanning and come back. Anjali is very happy.

Anjali – Khushi, you can't boss over for next 3 months. I have passed the critical time. You heard the doctor, right?

Khushi – Anjali ji.... You are misunderstood. She said you can be little liberal with diet does not do whatever you want.

Anjali – You are the lady version of Chote.

Arnav – Why am I pulled in this conversation?

Anjali – Are you not seeing the way she tortures me with routine, diet chart and those medicines.

Khushi – If following all that myself would help you. I would not force you. But you are not following anything which doctor say properly. So, I must be strict. Shall I also complain Arnavji about you?

Anjali – No.... it's our secret.

Khushi – Then how easily you are complaining about me to him. Won't he think I am Hitler? I always took the scolding for you, and you are letting me down (Pouts and makes a fake sad face)

Anjali – Sorry Khushi. (Turns to Arnav) Chote...She is good ok...she is not torturing me... Happy Khushi? (Khushi smiles)

Arnav – I can see who is torturing whom... so no need for any explanations.

After a while. He is room getting ready. Akash comes running with a happy face. Khushi was also there to take back her book.

Akash – Bhai, thank you so much. Introducing Payal as Khushi's friend really worked. Mom agreed. You are a genius Bhai.

Arnav – You should be thanking Khushi; she agreed to act as Payal's friend.

Akash – Thanks Khushi Ji

Khushi – Its ok Akash Ji.... I am happy that you are going to get married.

All three smile. Akash leaves. Arnav gets ready for office and comes down and hears Anjali screaming into the phone.

Anjali - I don't want to hear anything...I'm observing this fast and you're coming here... that's it (she cut the call)

Arnav - Di. Didn't I tell you; you won't keep any fast in this condition ... and Jijaji is out of country ...He won't be able to make a visit to you all of sudden ...Then why do you want to bother him and also yourself... You're not going to keep fast... that's final.

Anjali – I will (she said in stern voice)

Arnav - What is this childishness? Make some sense Di...

Anjali - Khushi's husband is out of town. She is keeping fast for her husband. Why can't I?

Khushi – Because you are pregnant, and I am not.

Anjali – Dint doctor say I can fast after drinking that energy drink

Khushi – Why to risk Anjali ji?

Anjali – I am not listening to anyone (She walks out leaving behind worried Arnav and Khushi)

IN OFFICE

Arnav - Hello. Jijaji ...

Shyam - Arey. Sale Sahab. what a good luck !!! you've called me? Surely my day will go well.

Arnav - I'm not sure about that... but my day will go well if you make a visit soon here... Someone here is missing you and I am sure she might have conveyed this to you many times.

Shyam – Oh...come on when wife starts missing a husband so much it means there is something big running in her head (he laughed out, but Arnav didn't join him)

Arnav - I am serious... Di is looking very upset nowadays... I don't know what's the problem, but I can't see her like that anymore. Especially when she is pregnant. You very well know that I can do anything for her one smile. So, if you don't wish me to come there and kidnap you, to bring you here. You yourself come back home soon.

Shyam - hm... Yeah...I heard. OK. I am coming there taking tomorrow's flight .. after all, how could I miss karvachauth....

Arnav - That's great ... see you soon (Arnav smiled and then cut the phone.... Aman comes in with a serious face) what happened Aman?

Aman – How much ever we try, we are unable to get Lawyer Mahesh's contact. (pause) ASR, you are putting all lives involved in this under risk including yours. Why don't you talk to Khushi.

Arnav – Talk what Aman. Tell me talk what? I don't even know why our parents were killed. You don't even know what I am going through.

Aman – Anything I should know?

Arnav – Nothing ...just go now.... (Aman rushes out. In mind) I just can't stop thinking about Khushi.... she is married still I get these weird thoughts....and the way she is behaving around me, I feel she is also getting similar thoughts...we can't be like some secret happy go lucky couple.... need to speak openly to her.
