Karan and Prem had planned a cookout, just outside the mansion with family and friend, the same way they used to do before, Khushi remembered playing cupid for Karan and Krystle back then, it had been such a long time since then.
The both of them were still together, as for Prem, no one knew if he was with someone or not, since Suman, he hadn't talked much about the whole dating thing, and as for Rudra, he was still happily single, when asked he would always say, what's the rush and change the topic.
It was either he was secretly dating someone or he had given up on the idea of having a life partner after everything that happened with their sister.
Khushi and Suman as busy had given themselves the work of chopping vegetables so currently they were seated in one placed doing their work, Khushi had also Invited Arnav who hadn't shown up yet.
Prem walked towards them, added some more vegetables and walked away without saying a word, as for Suman she didn't even try to look at him or anything, she just continued doing what she was pretending not to have an idea that he came here.
"So... you two are always going to act like strangers?" Khushi asked.
"There's no other way to act Khushi. He made his decision, I made mine, and we're done. I really don't want to talk about him please, I'm trying to be happy in my life." Suman said.
"Okay, we won't talk about him. So tell me, have you met anyone interesting yet?" She smirked as she wiggled are eyebrows making Suman laugh.
"I kind of have actually." Suman blushed a little.
"What the hell? I am your best friend, I am supposed to know this without having to ask. Why didn't you tell me, also who is he? Do you have a picture? Show. How did you guys meet? What's his name? Oh God, I am so excited for you." Khushi said excitedly.
"Okay, I just met him, I wanted to be sure before I told you, yes I have his picture I'll show you later and we actually met at my workplace, remember I told you I was doing an internship, so I met him there. His name is Varun and I am excited for me too." Suman giggled.
"That's so good, I'm glad you met someone."
"I know, me too. For a while in the beginning, moving on sounded so impossible, I came across a few guys but I don't know, I never felt the spark I felt with Prem... but now with Varun, things seem like they are falling in place so fingers crossed.
"Aww, I hope it works out for you."
"I hope so too." Suman smiled faintly and then they got back to the vegetables once again.
A while later, Krystle joined them, she came and sat with them and started helping them with their work, even though there wasn't much left.
"So... how was your experience, studying in Australia?" She asked Khushi.
"It was okay I guess, I mean I think I would have enjoyed it better if It was what I wanted, and if I didn't want to come back here so much."
"I know, your brothers can be too strict sometimes."
"So... how's it going with you and Karan?" Khushi teased.
"It's good... nothing to complain about... What about Rudra? Did he meet someone there? Or does he have someone in his life?" Krystle asked curiously.
"I wish we knew that, none of us knows. He never wants to talk about it, anytime the topic comes up, he would run away."
"Maybe it's a secret."
"Maybe, If there's a secret, i'll find it out pretty soon." Khushi smirked.
"You are always playing something, sometimes cupid, sometimes detective huh?"
"What can I say, I like messing with my brothers." She laughed.
*****
After everything was ready, they all gathered around in one place and started cooking together, everyone was talking, sharing random funny stories and everything while Khushi just kept on looking around wondering why Arnav hadn't arrived yet.
She pulled out her phone from the pocket deciding to text him, she hoped everything was okay, she was starting to get a bit paranoid.
"Hey, who are you busy with on the phone?" Arnav asked from behind her.
"Arnav! I was just texting you, you're so late, I got worried, I was wondering why you hadn't shown up yet." Khushi said as she hugged him, she was literally getting so worried.
"I'm sorry, actually Padmini aunty was out, and she told me not to leave until she was back so I was just waiting for her to get back, I left as soon as she came back. I'm sorry, I should have texted to inform you that I'll be late." He pouted as he held both his ears to apologize.
"It's okay, I'm just glad you are fine and you are here with me." She smiled.
"Aww, you two." Suman looked at them happily.
"Stop it." Khushi blushed as she buried her face in his chest while Arnav stood there a bit awkwardly, it was just a bit uncomfortable with her brothers around looking at them, he was still a bit scared of them.
"Okay, I'm a bit shy with the PDA." Arnav said as he stepped backwards.
"Why?" Khushi pouted.
"Because your brothers are looking at me like they might murder me." He laughed.
"Oh come on, they all approve of you now, you don't have to be so scared of them, come on... let's go talk to them so you can be comfortable with them." Khushi grabbed his hand and pulled him along till where Karan, Rudra and Prem were seated.
As soon as they got there, Prem stood up to leave but Khushi stopped him.
"Stop trying to run away Prem, what is your problem? I did whatever you guys wanted me to, you've done all research you had to do about Arnav, so why are you still acting like this around him?
"I don't know if I'll be okay seeing you with him or any other guy, i've just been so protective of you Khushi."
"I know, but I'm grown up, if know things, I can handle things, I can take care of myself and I'm sure you also know that Arnav is a good guy, so please stop all this.
It's time to accept things for what they are Prem, it's been so long, come one."
"Fine." She shrugged as he sat down and the two of them joined them.
"So... Karan, are you planning on getting married? I mean we should know so Arnav and I plan accordingly." Khushi giggled.
"Why are you in such a rush huh?" Karan pulled her ear.
"I am not, I'm just thinking about Krystle, she might be waiting for you to pop the question, don't make her wait forever."
"Oh you don't have to worry about that, it will happen when it has to happen, so chill!" He smirked.
"Okay whatever, how about you guys talk, I'll go check on the girls and then be back." Khushi said as she stood up and rushed towards Suman and Krystle leaving Arnav alone with her brothers who looks so scared.
"Aww, poor Arnav." Suman said.
"Yeah, your brothers are going to scare him so bad." Krystle said.
"They won't, they like him, or they have started to like him I guess... I just want them to be comfortable with each other and that won't happen unless they are around each other and talk and stuff you know." Khushi said.
"I know... hopefully it happens soon... he does seem a bit more comfortable with Karan." Krystle said.
"Yeah, but a bit more scared of Rudra, he always has this scary looks going on." Suman added.
"Oh... I just wish they would get comfortable soon, then I can ask them if Arnav and I can live together." Khushi said.
"What?" Both Krystle and Suman shouted so loudly, it even caught the attention of the guys as they all looked at them wondering what was happening.
