AR Head Office (there are many braches around Delhi and off-course around India and other countries),

Arnav clipped out a come in to whomever at the person knocking his cabin door, Lavanya entered the room calling in her sickly sweet voice 'ASR!!!'

Arnav not glancing up at her still engrossed in his laptop working away, Lavanya 'ASR got to know Khushi is going to work in your home' her voice displeased clearly visible.

Arnav 'What it has to do with you? It is not your businesses'

Lavanya 'But?'

Arnav glaring at her 'Look Lavanya, don't even interfere with what I do. Don't even try to voice it out. Khushi working for me is my business not yours. It is my decision'

Lavanya swallowed at the edge in his voice, Arnav 'go do your work, I assume there is lot to do rather than gossiping about my personal life' she sighed with his way of dismissing her. She had hoped to get an answer from him to why he bought Khushi to his house and how in the hell he got to know about Khushi's whereabouts in the first place. But anyway in her heart she knows getting answer from him is nearly impossible. He will do what he wants and how he wants.

Raizada Mansion,

Anjali walked towards her brother's room hoping he will not rebuff her. It was awkward dinner with everyone having lot of questions in their mind. No one said a thing even when Arnav ordered HP to take food for Khushi and give it in her room but had all dwelled in confusion on the behavior of Arnav which is not new anyway. He is unreadable like always.

Anjali 'Chotte!!!' knocking on his door.

Arnav looked away from his laptop who was engrossed in replying to the important mail 'Haan Di'

Anjali coming inside the room said softly hoping he will accept with her 'Chotte I am here to request you'

Arnav 'you no need to request Di, just say it and I'll get it done'

Anjali 'I want Khushi to shift to the guest room on the ground floor'

Arnav 'Why?'

Anjali 'Because Lavanya is going to stay here. I've invited her to come and stay here'

Arnav 'Why did you invite her? And Khushi will not shift to any other room' he wanted her in-front of his eyes, and what would be best then to make her live in the room next to his, the only room available in the floor other than his. He loves his privacy too much to let anyone invade it, his room + connected Study room, another room (Khushi's room) has common poolside connected to one, either of them can reach the other without other knowing through poolside. And it is private, where not even his family is allowed without his permission which he never gave any as they never had to ask since it is private terrace and pool of Arnav's use from his room.

Arnav's room

Khushi's room

[Common Terrace and Poolside of Arnav and Khushi's room....his floor is kinda off in a way said is last floor of the massive palace]

Anjali 'Chotte please understand this, if Lavanya comes and lives here she will learn our family tradition with time before both of your marriage'

Arnav surprised 'Marriage? Me and Lavanya?'

Anjali 'Haan Chotte, we all like her and happy for you to chose her as your life partner'

Arnav 'Di what are you talking about? There is nothing between me and Lavanya, and tell her she don't have to come here'

Anjali wide eye 'Chotte!!!'

Arnav 'I don't want any other discussion Di. Don't know from where you get these ideas'

Anjali 'But Chotte what is wrong in Lavanya? She is beautiful, classy, sophisticated women...she will compliment you perfectly'

Arnav 'Just stop it Di. I said No...means No. Remove such thoughts from your mind. And tell her there is no need for her to stay here'

Anjali 'How can I? I've already.....'

Arnav 'either you tell her or I'll'

Anjali disappointed left the room........Arnav sighed in anger.....what the hell is wrong with his family? Can't they just stay put without interfering in his life?

Sound of something dropping caught his attention, he turned towards the sound.....Khushi is standing by the private pool side of both their room (his and her separate room), looking shocked.

She had come out of her room to the poolside feeling suffocated and wanting of the fresh air but.....but got herself shocked listening to Anjali and Arnav's conversation. Lavanya!!!! How could she forget her? The girl who happens to be her husband's so-called girlfriend.

Arnav 'so you heard it?'

Khushi looked at him in silence; does she have anything to say?

Arnav 'What do you think about me and Lavanya? How will we look together? Thinking why not should I give a thought to Di's wish?'

She looked down, her eyes filling, agreed he is her forced husband and she does not like him and his behavior.....but it does not mean she will like to see her husband with other woman.

He watched with satisfaction to see her face losing color every minute. I'll not let you live in peace Khushi. You have to pay for everything.

Here Anjali comes to Nani's room where Manorama is already waiting to know Arnav's answer. They both hoped he says yes but one look at Anjali's face they knew it is not.

Anjali looking at them dejectedly 'he did not agree'

Maami 'Now what?'

Nani 'Now what, what? Lavanya is coming here and will stay with us. There is no change in this. We have already called her now can't back out'

Anjali 'but Chotte?'

Nani 'Let me see how he goes against me'

Maami 'I hope you know what you are doing sasuma'

Nani 'I very well, maana Lavanya is modern girl but she can learn our traditional way and bend likewise whenever it is necessary'

Anjali 'Haan Naani, I like Lavanya for Chotte. She will complement him good'

Maami 'hello hi bye bye me too like miss tip top'

So it is decided Lavanya will be arriving to stay with the Raizada's.
