Part35 

Khushi swiped the phone to attend Rohit's call.

Rohit: Khushi, how are you?

Khushi(not replying): Why do you call me?

Rohit: Can't I call you without reason?

Khushi: Hope you don't forget that I'm married.

Rohit: So what Khushi? Does that make a difference?

Khushi: of course it does. Undoubtedly it does.

Rohit: Does your husband doubt you?

Khushi: I don't like disturbance while spending my time with my husband.

Rohit: I'm your friend Khushi.

Khushi: Then behave like a friend. You are crossing your limits.

Rohit: What I did? Is calling a friend wrong?

Khushi: Calling a friend untimely is wrong.

Rohit: You changed a lot Khushi. Can't you understand you hurt me?

Khushi: who asked me to call you in this time and get hurt?

Rohit: I heard you came to the college today. If I had known, I would have come to the college to meet you.

Khushi: I don't want you to meet me. Just stay away from me.

Rohit: Khushi... why are you angry with me?

Khushi: we can wake the person who is really sleeping but never who is pretending.

She dropped the call. The next second, he again called her. Cutting his call she blocked his number.

She never knew Rohit could be such an irritating guy. What happened to him? Why he is behaving like a maniac? What's wrong with him?

Her thought chain got broken as Arnav came out of the washroom. He didn't ask anything about Rohit's call.

Khushi: Let's have dinner.

Arnav: You go. I will be there in few minutes.

Khushi didn't sense any mood off scenario with Arnav. He tried to be normal at least in front of Khushi. She nodded yes and left downstairs.

Arnav sat on the bed. Don't know why, he doesn't like ROHIT. His way of approach is totally wrong. It seems, he is intentionally doing this to make misunderstanding between him and Khushi. If he gives a gap in the name of doubt, he will win. And Khushi is not a girl who rejoices such an idiot. This is not a time to get frustrated but handling the issue with skills. For that, he should never show disappointment to Khushi. for Rohit's mistake, he shouldn't hurt Khushi, not even in dreams. He has to handle this without haste. He cooled down himself.

He knew, Khushi is also not happy with Rohit's phone call. He has to cheer her up first.

In the meanwhile, in the Kitchen

Khushi's good mood was ruined by Rohit. She was blabbering with herself for being a friend of him. Her mood got recharged, seeing Ratna. She hugged Ratna from behind, making her smile.

Ratna: Seems like, someone is literally in jolly mood?

Khushi: Who is that, Amma? Is she the TOOTHBRUSH GIRL?

Ratna turned towards her with a shocking plus surprising expression, to face her. Khushi raised her eyebrows biting her lip. Ratna let out a gasp smiling at her.

Ratna: Did Chotte tell you everything?

Khushi (nodding yes): Everything....

Ratna: My God.... finally... Do you know how much I wanted him to tell you everything?

Khushi(curiously): How do you know that it's me, not La?

Ratna(excitedly): Do you remember, you told me the other day that Lavanya never watered the plants?

Khushi nodded with the same excitement.

Ratna: That day I understood that Chotte liked you not Lavanya.

Khushi: That's why you felt dizzy that day?

Ratna: Then what? Only we know how my dearly Kadoos beta wanted to marry you.

Khushi: Was he that Kadoos?

Ratna: yeah... after all, he is a lard governor.

They giggled and their giggle stopped hearing "what the..."

They saw Arnav standing folding his hands, looking at them shrinking his eyes.

Arnav (to Ratna): Am I Lard Governor for you too?

Ratna: No no... not for me. Undoubtedly you are Khushi's Lard Governor only. But I'm sure no one could give such a good name to you.

She shared high-five with Khushi.

Arnav: Mom, you are supposed to be on my side.

Ratna: I would like to be in a BRISKY side... such a BORE you are.

Khushi chuckled at him.

Arnav: This is not fair, Mom.

They heard "what's not fair?"

Ratna rushed to Arvind, who was standing at the entrance with a questioning gaze.

Ratna: Arvindji, Khushi got to know everything.

Arvind(elatedly): Really? How?

Arnav: yeah... I told her everything...

Ratna: It's me who insisted him to tell her everything.

Arnav: but, it's me who had done that.

Ratna: if I hadn't insisted you, you would not have told her.

Arnav: I was expecting a right time, Mom.

Ratna: How long? If it is me, I would have told her everything in the first day itself.

Arvind clutched Khushi's hand and took her to the dinning. Khushi followed him, looking at the mother and the son who is seriously arguing.

Arvind: I'm hungry. Let them finish it on their own. Let's have dinner.

Khushi started serving him laughingly. Ratna and Arnav stopped fighting and looked at their surroundings. Not finding their respective pairs in the kitchen, they peeped out of the kitchen. They saw them eating. They looked at each other and burst out laughing. Ratna came to Dinning with Arnav.

Ratna: Khushi, did Chotte tell you what he told about you?

Khushi nodded NO whereas Arnav rolled his eyes.

Ratna: She... I mean YOU. she looks so beautiful Mom.... Please proceed as much as possible. I can't be waiting more for my dream girl...

She said dreamingly, with a lot of expression on her face. Khushi was looking at her unbelievably. Arnav and so dramatic? No doubt, Arnav was also like what the...

Arvind(chuckling): Would you deny Chotte?

Arnav looked at Khushi who raised her eyebrows.

Ratna: Would you say NO Chotte?

Arnav: No... I mean... yes...

Ratna controlled her laugh as Arnav struggling.

Khushi: Amma, please stop playing. Arnavji is fighting hard with himself. (pause) don't I know Arnavji? he and dramatic dialogues? No way...

Arnav smiled at her. Khushi felt relaxed, seeing Arnav back to the mood.

Later in Arshi room

Khushi: Are you alright Arnavji?

Arnav: What happened to me?

Khushi: You were upset...

Arnav: Me? When?

Khushi: Actually, Rohit shouldn't have called in that time.

Arnav: forget him...

Khushi: Are you sure?

Arnav: Then? Are you going to remember him in this pleasant moment of us?

Khushi chuckled.

Khushi: thank God... I thought...

Arnav: Stop overthinking. Let your little brain sleep peacefully.

He laid on the bed.

Khushi crawled on the bed and rested on his chest.

Khushi: do you know what I feel right now?

Arnav: What?

Khushi: I feel pity for LA. She is not lucky enough to have you as her husband.

Arnav: But I'm lucky enough to have as my wife.

Khushi: I don't think so.

Arnav: Why?

Khushi: I'm such a monkey you know?

Arnav(chuckled): Monkey? Really? I have never seen such a beautiful monkey.

Khushi punched his chest.

Arnav: What the money is thinking now?

Khushi: It's thinking to have a KISS with her husband.

Arnav: it seems, Monkey has forgotten about "ANYTHING" theory?

Khushi: Monkey won't think if she wants something.

Arnav: Chain up your monkey and sleep.

He pressed her head on his chest while pecking her hair. Khushi slept peacefully in Arnav's comfort but Arnav couldn't sleep for long. Undoubtedly he was thinking about Rohit. What he is up to? What's his intention? What he exactly trying to do?

To be continued....

Today's update of Inkitt

36 "Son"(in-law)

Next day

Khushi was arranging her books in her bag whereas Arnav dressing up. Taking her bag, Khushi frowned seeing Arnav. Arnav looked left and right like, "What?"

Khushi: Arnavji, wait...

Arnav flinched. Khushi dusted his hair like, something was there. Next second, she pecked his lips and rushed towards the exit giggling. Before Arnav composed himself, she reached the entrance. Arnav's loud voice made her root on the spot.

Arnav: Stay....
