Anjali 'I told you that you know her, your friend of Harvard, I met her in hospital today.'

Arnav nodded at her, Sheethal came forward to hug him when he put his hand forward to shake 'nice to meet you here.'

Mami from behind 'and he is Sheethal's son Aarav.' Arnav smiled at the boy. He turned to Khushi pulling her by waist on which mami made a face 'Khushi this is Sheethal, she studied with me in Harvard. And Sheethal meet my lovely wife Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada.' Sheethal forced a smile at her and Khushi smiling at her said 'Namasthe.'

Nani 'chotte Khushi bitiya come and sit with us.' Both moved and sat on couch. Nani called HP to bring some water for the both who came, while taking the glass of water Arnav 'HP, you and OP bring those bags from my car and keep it inside the room.'

Khushi 'aur HP ji there will be a packet of jalebi, take them to kitchen.' HP left to do the said work, Khushi looked at Aarav and smiled at him who gave her a glare, Arnav noticed it but did not comment thinking he is kid and that too came with a guest. HP and OP went to Arnav's room carrying lots of bag on seeing them Mami's eye popped out.

NK exclaimed 'Nanav Khushi ji did you both buy a whole shop.'

Khushi laughing 'no nanhe ji, this is all Arnav's doing, he purchased all those dresses.'

Arnav 'of course I have to buy otherwise you will not even care to buy anything for you, always looking out for others but not for yourself. And it's my right to buy for my wife.'

NK 'yeah Khushi ji you can't snatch a husbands right.'

Khushi 'Are you my best friend or his?'

NK 'I'm his brother, I'll change my side whenever there is valid reason on either side.'

Payal 'I'll look if everything is ready for dinner or not.' She went away not able to see this entire lovey dovey scene between Arnav and Khushi which she and her husband were lacking.

Mami 'hello hi bye bye Sheethal you have nice sense of fashion, tanik teach me also.'

Sheethal 'of course mami ji.'

Sheethal turning to Arnav 'I never thought you will marry in your life.'

Arnav smiling looked at Khushi inserting his fingers in hers 'then no one knew I'll fall in love with an angel.' Khushi blushed....Mami muttered 'angel my foot.' Anjali chose to be silent. Nani smiled at him with NK showing his 32 teeth agreeing with his Nanav. Akash looked at no one in particular as if they are talking something alien.

Sheethal faked a smile 'So Khushi, right?' Khushi nodded her head; she continued 'What are you graduated at? And what are you doing?'

Khushi smiling 'I'm BA hindi literature degree holder and to your next question I'm house wife.' Arnav was surprised to know her degree, he thought 'there is more to my wife, looks like I've to know her some more'

Sheethal laughing 'Hindi literature, don't mind, in this century who studies hindi literature. There is no promising career in it.' Khushi's smile fell but she masked it, Anjali hid her grin, Arnav fuming to see her insulting his wife 'there is nothing to laugh at this; it is Khushi's wish to study hindi literature which she did.' Khushi controlling him by squeezing his hand turned to grim Sheethal 'I love hindi so I took major in it.'

Nani 'Sheethal bitiya no degree is high and low, education is not for making career but making mind. All B.E, MBA graduated students are not intelligent likewise BSC or any other arts degree students are not fool. '

Payal 'Dinner is ready maa ji, shall I set the table.'

Maami 'of course it is time, Sheethal Aarav bitwa lets have our dinner.'

Anjali 'haan maami Aarav would be hungry too.'

Nani 'chaliye sab log.'

Arnav was going to refuse when Khushi caught his hand and whispered 'Arnav if you will refuse they will feel bad.' Nani turning back 'chotte why are you both standing come to have dinner with us.'

Arnav 'mmm Nani I'll go and freshen up and will join you people.' Nodding at Khushi he went to his room, Khushi moved to dining table standing beside Nani waiting for Arnav to join, she helped HP and Payal to carry out the dish and asked HP to bring those jalebis too.

Arnav came and took his seat and beckoned Khushi to join with him, all started to have their dinner fussing over Sheethal and Aarav as if they are daughter and grandson of some Maharaja.

Arnav 'So Sheethal what calls you here in India.'

Sheethal 'I came to India to settle down permanently with my son.'

Arnav 'oh!!!'

Anjali 'Chotte I said to you right, I met Sheethal in hospital, she came to check on Aarav's health, poor kid is having diabetics.'

Arnav 'it is no big deal Di, with diet control he can manage well.'

Anjali nodding at him turned to Sheethal 'So Sheethal you told about searching accommodation.'

Sheethal 'haan till now not able to get one, we are still staying in hotel.'

Anjali 'why don't you stay with us for few days till you get your apartment?' Arnav head snapped up at his Di, he is not pleased with her idea, he cannot pinpoint but he is not getting good vibe from Sheethal and Aarav.

Sheethal 'No no Anjali I don't want to be burden to you all.'

Anjali 'Nani app hi isse kahiye na' {nani you tell her to stay here.}

Nani 'haan Sheethal bitiya, stay over here for few days.'

Sheethal accepted reluctantly but was doing happy dance to get to stay in RM. Sheethal 'okay then we will shift tomorrow.'

Arnav fisted his hand under table 'it is his house dammit and he have no say in it on who has to stay or not.' Khushi noticing this hold his hand under table. Arnav looked at Khushi and calmed himself on seeing her serene face.

Nani looking at Arnav 'chotte why are you not having your food properly.' Arnav who was swallowing with difficulty smiled at her sheepishly 'Er...Nani we had pani poori and chat item a while ago.' He already had no appetite and then now this new development made it more difficult to swallow the food.

Nani 'that states why you and Khushi bitiya is playing with your food.'

Arnav 'I'm done Nani, I'll take a glass of milk later.'

Arnav 'but chotte we made your and Sheethal's favorite dish.'

Arnav 'I'm sorry Di I forgot we have a guest today and had chat which already filled my stomach. Excuse me.'

Khushi too standing 'Nani ji I'm sorry not able to eat more than this.' then turning to Sheethal 'there is jalebi too, have them if you feel like.' She joined Arnav who waited for her at stairs and together made for their room.

Arnav paced the length of the room, while Khushi was looking at him as if watching tennis match, fed up by his pacing 'stop Arnav, because of you my neck is paining.'

Arnav fuming 'what is the need for Di to make that offer?'

Khushi not understanding 'what is there to get angry? She is your friend right?'

Arnav grimed 'She is not; if you had not listened properly I said she studied with me. We were in same group of friends that's all, she was no one to me, I never consider her as my friend.'

Khushi 'okay, but she is Di's friend.'

Arnav 'yeah right from when, today only she met her in hospital and became friends like sholay AB and Dharmendra had.'

Khushi 'you had seen Sholay.'

Arnav 'yeah with mama. She loved that film.'

Khushi clapping her hands 'I too love that film.'

Arnav raising his eyebrows 'here we are not discussing about Sholay but Sheethal.'

Khushi sighing looked at him who turned to her clutching her shoulder lightly 'Khushi you are going to stay away from Sheethal and Aarav.'

Khushi confused 'why?'

Arnav 'don't ask me anything, I'm not feeling good seeing them in our house and getting negative feeling.'

Khushi 'when does Arnav Singh Raizada started believing all these.'

Arnav 'I'm not, it is just my gut instincts is telling me to stay awake around them. You promise not be friendly or get close with them.'

Khushi 'okay baba I promise.' HP knocked on the door, he opened, HP 'bhaiya Di is calling you.' On reaching down he saw only his family member's are there, Sheethal and Aarav had left already.

Anjali getting angry 'chotte what kind of behavior is this, first you came late, then you insulted them saying you forget about them coming to our house.'

Arnav calmly 'what is the big deal in this Di?'

Anjali 'big deal!!! Do you know Sheethal felt bad listening to your words, she thought you did not like her coming and staying here, we had to persuade her for that.'

Arnav 'that is the truth; I don't like her coming and staying in this house.'

Anjali 'she is your friend'

Arnav 'studying in same university and being friends is different, for me Sheethal is former one. And Di you should have consulted with me before asking her to stay here. This is house not a Dharmshala that anyone can come and stay here. Any way leave it Di you will not understand all this. I'm feeling sleepy so Gud night to you all.' and left to his room.

Mami 'hello hi bye bye this is not the same Arnav bitwa who agrees to everything his sister says. He changed so much; don't know what that phati sari did to him?'

Nani 'Manorama!!!' Mami 'There is no value for truth now days' saying this she went to her room, everyone dispersed nani came to Anjali who was standing aghast ' don't take Chotte's word seriously, let him come around, at first he reacts in this same way.' She too left leaving Anjali alone.

Anjali fuming 'Khushi!!!'
