Part 73

In the mandir:

Both of them prayed Devimayya and sat at a place... Then Khushi asked Buaji what happened to Garima ?? Why din't she came out of the room?

Buaji explained what happened. Khushi was shocked hearing about her father's anger. She has never seen his anger all these years.

"From then we all are keeping aloof from her. She won't even come out of the room.. Lavanya seemed to change but I don't know how much it is true.. I still can't believe her.. But as your father requested, I am teaching her all household works.. Wish that Devimayya to make Lavanya's marriage too soon and she too be happy... then Shashi will be in peace" said Buajji.

"Shall we move ??"asked Buaji.

Khushi agreed and both of them stood up to go.

Khushi found Arnav coming towards them. He came near them.

He greeted Buaji and took her blessings. Buaji enquired about everyone in the house.

"Come Buaji. We will leave you at house and then we will go to RM"said Arnav.

"No beta. It's ok. I will go" said Buaji.

"Buaji. Don't be stubborn. Come with us" said Khushi. Buaji agreed to that...

Just then a woman whom Buaji knows spotted her and came near calling her.. Buaji talked with her..

"Beta. You go. I am meeting her after soo many days." said Buaji.

Sighing Arshi left from there.

When they went near car, Arnav opened the door for Khushi to sit. She is going to sit when she heard someone calling her name.

Both turned and looked at Lavanya who is standing before them lowering her head.

Arshi looked at each other confused...

Lavanya came forward and said "I am very sorry for my behaviour until now.. I don't even derserve to stand before you, but my guilt inside me killing me.. "

Arshi looked at each other shocked.

Khushi is going to say something but Lavanya stopped her "I know it won't be easy for you to believe that I changed but it is true. I changed for my ownselfishness. I too want to live my life happily with my husband not as anyone's mistress. I understood that being loved by someone is really a bliss. I promise you both from now onwards I will never enter into your life. I am sorry once again"

Khushi came near her and wiped her tears.. "I am very glad Lavanya that u changed. I always want this.. Now live your marriage life happily"

Lavanya nodded her head. She was going away when Arnav stopped her.

"Raj is really good guy.. I enquired about him..Don't spoil your life from now listening to others" said Arnav.

Lavanya looked at him thankfully and went from there..

"I still can't believe this"said Khushi.

"She changed Khushi"said Arnav.

"How do you know ??"asked Khushi..

"I can see the regretness in her eyes.."said Arnav.

"Hope soo.."said Khushi.

"Come. Let's leave" said Arnav and both drove off to RM.

IN RM:

When the duo entered into the house, Anjali and Nani along with mami, Payal, Akash are in the hall.

"Good evening everyone" said Khushi.

"Good evening" replied everyone. Arshi settled on one of the sofa.

"Khushi bitiya. Did you enjoyed with your Buaji ??"asked Nani.

"Ha Naniji."said Khushi.

They all are talking about some random things when mamiji suddenly asked "HHBB. Khushi Why is your Bhai still not married ??"

"Perfect timing"thought Khushi " Mamiji. Actually Bhai loved a girl in college. But unfortunately she got married to other person.. Bhai loves her a lot.. He is not ready to give anyone her place.. So he is still single..Don't say it Buaji.. She doesn't know about it.." said Khushi examining Anjali's face whose face fell hearing it..

"He must have loved her a lot. That is why he is not ready to marry one. That girl lost a good person, may be she is unfortunate" said Akash.

"HHBB. Aur nahi to kyaa. Now a days where will anyone find a person like him" said Mamiji..

Anjali is at the edge of burst out into crying. She composing herself quickly said she feels to take rest and went upstairs..

Arshi are observing her keenly, her sadness, her guilty..

Night in the Arshi room:

Arnav is sitting on the bed working on his laptop.. Khushi came and sat beside him.

"Arnavji" called Khushi softly.

"Hmm"Arnav.

"I want to talk with you" said Khushi.

"Say Khushi. I am listening " said Arnav immersed in laptop.

"I want to talk about Arvind Bhai and Di" said Khushi.

Arnav immediately stopped working and looked at her curiously.

"What do you know about them ??"asked Arnav.

Khushi looking at him suspiciously said " Seems like you already knew something about them"

"First you say what you knew about them"said Arnav.

"No.. First you"said Khushi stubbornly

Arnav rolling off his eyes said "Ok." Arnav explained everything that he heard on that Night.

"Poor Di and Bhai.."said Khushi.

"Now say what you know ??"asked Arnav.

Khushi explained what all she heard and about the locket which she saw in the Arvind's bag in the afternoon.

"So. Now it is confirmed that Di and your Bhai are lovers in the past. After these many days they both met each other." Said Arnav.

"Arnavji. But I can't understand one thing" said Khushi.

"What ??"asked Arnav.

"When Di loves Bhai, why did she marry Shyam ??'asked Khushi.

" Khushi, when we came from Lucknow, we left our past there. May be Di thought that your Bhai still hates her. Also we are not in a position to think about anything. Our parents died and the next day, our chacha threw us out of the house, we stood in the rain infront of the sheesh Mahal until Nani and Mama came to take us. After we came here, Di got busy with me taking care like a child. I left for London and then.. when I returned from London, Di said to me about Shyam that he proposed her. Whole family agreed to it. I don't have any option left than to accept. As far as I know, Nani said to me that Shyam saved Di from goons and later he used to meet her at the orphanage where Di every week goes. In that situation, Di too is attracted to him for his sweet coating words and when he finally proposed here, she din't have any reason to say No. She accepted his proposal and I like a fool agreed for their marriage. If I would have cross checked about him then, now Di's Life wouldn't be like this" said Arnav.

"Arnavji. Don't feel sad. Devimayya knows what to do. See now she send Bhai back to Di. " said Khushi.

"What do you mean ?"asked Arnav.

"What is there to mean ? You can't understand anything. We soon bring that Shyam's true face infront of Di and others, then threw him out of this house. Then Bhai will be back again in Di's life to fill colors. In mamiji's language, Bye Bye to that Shyam and hai hai to Bhai" said Khushi.

"It's ok Khushi but Do you think they both will agree ?? More than that we don't know if your Bhai still loves Di or not"asked Arnav.

"Uffo Arnavji. You are a big dumboo (Arnav looked at her angrily). If Bhai is still keeping that chain with Di's locket means he still loves Di. Isn't it ?? And I guess Di too still have some feelings on Bhai.. They both are already lovers in the past Arnavji. So it is not that much difficult to make them agree.." said Khushi.

"It is all Ok Khushi. But Now Di is not alone, she will have a baby soon. Will your Bhai accept her child too ??"asked Arnav.

Khushi looked at him upset " What do you think Arnavji that my Bhai won't take care of Di and child ? If it was the case, by now he would have married any other girl happily."

Arnav observing her expressions said "Khushi. I am not susupecting your Bhai. I am worried about Di. You know now she is with that slumbag spoiling her life. I am just worried not to spoil her life again"

Khushi looked at him apologetically. He is indeed right. As a brother it is causal to worry abut her sister not to go into wrong hands next time.

"I am sorry Arnavji. I overreacted" said Khushi.

"It's Ok . Now common sleep. My baby must be sleepy' said Arnav keeping his hand on her stomach.

"Ya ofcourse." Said Khushi and lied on the bed. Arnav kissing her forehead slept beside her engulfing her in his arms.
