Part 16

In Arnav's room:

Arnav is pacing here and there in the room when Anjali entered the room.

"Chote.." called Anjali and came near him.

"Are you OK ?"asked Anjali placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah Di. I am fine" said Arnav.

"Are you upset with my decision ?" asked Anjali.

"What decision Di ?"asked Arnav.

"To take the case back" asked Anjali.

"No Di.. Now, that they are family, we can't hurt others because of their foolishness.. Also, Payal will get upset which makes even Akash too upset with it.. We can't make our brother upset.." said Arnav.

Anjali smiled and said, " Exactly Chote.. That is why I did it.. I can't see Akash hurt"

"Ohh.. You are here" came Abhinav into the room.

"What are you both talking ?"asked Abhinav.

"Nothing..Just like that" said Anjali.

"Don't lie.. I know you must be talking about what happened downstairs" said Abhinav.

"Yeah.. We are talking about it only" said Anjali.

" You really did a good job by taking the case back Anjali otherwise Akash would be hurt indirectly" said Abhinav.

"Yeah.. I know that.. You love your brothers a lot.. I wish you had atleast 10% love on your husband which you show on your brothers" said Abhinav in a dramatic tone.

Anjali looked at him surprised, " Why did you thought I don't love you Abhinavji ?"

"You think a lot about your brothers but you never think about me or my wishes.. Yesterday, I asked you something but you didn't said anything about it" said Abhinav.

"What did you ask jiju ? Are you in any problem ?? Say me, I will give it to you" said Arnav in a concerned tone.

"Uffo Arnav.. That's not the matter.. Actually, what I asked is.." Abhinav is going to say something but Anjali said, "Shut up"

"Di.. Let jijaji say" said Arnav.

"NO need for that Chote.." said Anjali then turning to Abhinav, "Why did you came here ?"

"Ohh.. Yeah.. I forgot the matter.. I was searching for you Anjali" said Abhinav.

"What happened ?? Do you need anything ?"asked Anjali.

"Yeah.. I have an important operation tomorrow.. I can't find the red file.. It was patient's case file.." said Abhinav.

"You haven't given me any red file" said Anjali.

"Yeah.. I didn't gave you but I forgot where I kept it.. Now, come and search it for me" said Abhinav scratching his head.

Anjali nodded his head as unbelievable..

"That is why I always say you to give me your files.. You always forgets where you keep your things.. How can you be soo irresponsible ?? Even Pari is lot more better than you.. She keeps her things in place.. I can't understand what kind of doctor are you.. I just hope you haven't left any scissors or any instruments in patient's stomach" said Anjali.

Abhinav scowled hearing it, " Don't insult my profession"

"I am insulting you not your profession.. How forgetful doctor you are ?" said Anjali.

"Di.. Jiju.. Stop it" said Arnav.

Both of them stopped and looked at him..

"Go and fight in your room" said Arnav..

"We are not fighting. We are arguing" said Abhinav..

"Whatever it is.. Go to your room. I need to make a conference call" said Arnav.

Anjali nodded her head, " OK Chote" then turning to Abhinav, "Now come sir.. Let's search your red file"

The couple left the room making Arnav sigh in relief.

In Payal and Khushi's room:

Payal came out of the washroom after freshening up.. She saw Khushi sitting on the bed thinking something deeply.

"What happened Khushi ?"asked Payal.

"jiji. I am worried for you" said Khushi.

"For me!! Why ??"asked Payal with confusion.

" What if jiju is angry with you for what I did ??" asked Khushi with a nervous tone.

"No, I am not" said Akash who just came there.

Payal and Khushi turned to him.. Smiling, Akash came near to them.

"I am not angry on you Khushi but I am a little hurt because your prank hurt my little niece whom I love a lot" said Akash.

Khushi kept an upset face hearing it.. Ofcourse, even she felt sad for hurting a little girl.

" I am sorry for that jiju.. Even I am feeling sorry for that.. In my anger, I didn't realize I am hurting an innocent soul" said Khushi feeling sorry.

"That is why I always advice you not to play pranks with others" said Payal.

Khushi pouted hearing ii, "Jiju.. Can I meet Pari ? Where is she ? I will ask forgiveness from her"

"How do you know her name is Pari ?"asked Akash surprised.

"She said to me on that day" said Khushi.

"OK.. She went to School now.. When she comes in the evening, I will introduce her to you" said Akash.

"Hope she won't be angry with me"said Khushi..

"No.. She is sweet heart.. she will melt quickly if you to give her chocolates and ice cream.. She will mingle easily and forgives anyone.. She is just like jiju in this matter" said Akash..

Khushi sighed in relief while Payal smiled hearing it.. She talked with Pari few times when she called Akash..

"OK.. Now, come for lunch.. Dadi and others are waiting" said Akash.

The trio for lunch which went without any fuss.. Since, Arnav is in call with client, his lunch is sent to Study..

It was 5 in the evening.. Payal came into their room after talking with Karan.. Khushi is listening to songs in her mobile..

"Khushi.. Akash messaged me" said Payal.

Khushi looked as if waiting to hear what the message is..

"An Urgent came up.. So, Akash and ASR left for a meeting in Lucknow.. They will return by night" said Payal.

Khushi was disappointed hearing it..

"No Problem jiji" said Khushi recovering from her disappointment

"OK.. I am going to Karan Bhai's room. I have some work.." said Payal, took her laptop and went to Karan's room.

Khushi came out of the room and stood in the corridor watching the garden.. To her surprise, Pari is playing in the garden with ball.. Khushi has seen Pari's pics in the afternoon in the hall along with her parents and family. So, she recognized Pari..

Now, Khushi came up with an idea to meet Pari by herself... So, she went towards Pari..

When Khushi reached garden, Pari is still playing in her own world.. She didn't observed Khushi who stood there watching her silently.

"Pari" called Khushi.

Pari turned and looked at a stranger who knew her name and called her.. She was surprised to see a new person in Sheesh Mahal..

Khushi came near Pari and kneeled down before her..

"Hi Pari.. I am Khushi.. I am Payal's sister" said Khushi.

"Payal!! Means you are Payal Mami's sister.." asked Pari excitedly

Khushi nodded her head as yes..

"Oh.. I don't know about you.. Sorry, I didn't recognize you. Akash mamu said you all came.. He said he will make meet you all but went to Lucknow for work" said Pari pouting..

Khushi smiled seeing Pari pouting..

"You are really a sweet heart" said Khushi and hugged her.. She felt guilty for hurting a little girl..

Khushi came out of the hug and kissed Pari's forehead.. Pari was surprised as well as overwhelmed by the love shown by Khushi.

"I want to say you something baby.." said Khushi..

"Haan Aunty. What is it ?"asked Pari.

"woo actually.." Khushi was trying to say when Anjali called, "Pari"

"Haan Mumma" Pari ran to her mother, " I am talking with Khushi aunty"

"OK.. Papa is calling you. So, go now.. Mumma wants to talk with Khushi aunty now" said Anjali.

Pari nodded her head cutely and left from there.

Anjali turned to Khushi and came near her..

"What are you trying to say her ??"asked Anjali with a serious tone.

"I am just going to apologize for hurting her" said Khushi sensing Anjali's anger.

"No need for that.. Don't do anything of that sort.. She forgot about that matter and don't make her remember it and feel bad about it.. You have hurt her enough.. I can't understand how can you be soo insensitive to lie to a little girl.. Because of you, my daughter was hurt and I will never forgive you for that" said Anjali with a stern voice making Khushi gulp..

Anjali started to leave from there but turned back and said, " And one more thing.. Stay away from my daughter"

Khushi stood there shocked by the amount of anger, hate in Anjali's voice for her..
