Part 24 Anjali's outburst

Anjali left Arnav's room. They came out. She thought something and again rushed in. Manorama, Payal, and Akash looked at one another and they also rushed in.

"What happed Di? "

"Dial your father-in-law..." Anjali said.

"What so urgent? Let me get fresh"

"Take a bath after five minutes," Anjali said.

Arnav rolled his eyes and removed his phone. He dialed Shashi's number. Shashi attended the call.

*Hello, Arnav...*

*Hello, uncle... how are you? *

*We are fine. How is Khushi? What about her interview? *

*She has been selected in the interview...*

*She would have...* Shashi laughed.

*No, uncle... she had done the interview very well*

*You are something unimaginable, Arnav. You didn't let her feel low... am I right? *

*She is really a talented girl, uncle*

*Yes... but I missed noticing it. Could you pass the phone to Khushi? * Shashi asked.

*She is with my Nani in her room*

*Oh... ok*

*Di wants to talk to you, uncle*

*Oh... yeah...*

Arnav passed the phone to Anjali.

*Jee, Namaste...I'm Anjali. Arnav's sister*

*Namaste, Beta... hope you are fine*

*Because of you, we got our lives back in the form of Arnav. Thanks is a simple word that is not equal to what you have done for us*

*It's my duty, beta* Shashi liked the way Anjali spoke.

*Maybe... but Chotte is our strength... we got our strength back today...*

*Everything is God's blessings, beta*

*We will be coming to Nainital to ask Khushi's hand for marriage* Anjali said and Shashi was delighted.

*So kind of you, beta... we will be waiting for you...*

Manorama also thanked Shashi before disconnecting the call.

In the meanwhile,

Khushi came out of the washroom washing her face and saw Nani taking a balm bottle.

"What happened Naniji?" She asked with concern.

"Knee pain, bitiya... It makes me so weaker..."

Taking the balm bottle from Nani's hand, Khushi had a look.

"I have a medicine for knee pain. Would you like to use it, Naniji?"

"Why not? Chotte's fast recovery tells us how good your medicines are..." Nani said.

Khushi removed it from her bag.

"Shall I apply it on your knees?"

"I will apply it, bitiya"

"That's ok Naniji..." she sat beside Nani on the bed, taking her leg on her thigh.

As Arnav went to the washroom to take bath, Anjali and Payal came to Nani's room to meet Khushi. They saw Khushi massaging Nani's knee.

"Khushiji, have you started your medical service in RM too?" Anjali asked teasingly.

Khushi nodded yes with a smile.

"It feels very good Anjali," Nani said.

"Khushiji our Nani is going to build a temple for you it seems" Payal teased.

"People who work for others deserve a temple... Especially, if the person is a doctor" Nani said.

Khushi wondered. She has been servicing for patience since her childhood. No one prized get like this.

"I will ask Babuji to send medicine for your knee pain, Naniji," Khushi said.

"Sure... ask him..."

"Khushi's father talks nicely," Anjali said.

Khushi looked at Anjali surprised.

"When did you talk to him? " Nani asked.

"Just now... I and Mami spoke to him"

"Oh..."

Khushi wondered because she has not talked to Shashi yet.

That's when Akash came to Nani's room with Payal's phone.

"Payal, uncle is calling you continuously" he handed her phone to Payal.

"Oh, yeah... I had told him that I will help him to buy a gift for Mom for her birthday... I have forgotten as Arnavji back" Payal dialed her father.

"Hello, Dad..."

"I'm waiting for you... didn't you see the time...?"

"Yes, Dad... I became busy..."

"What happened? Anything serious? But your voice doesn't sound like that"

"No, Dad... nothing is serious... Arnavji is back"

"Whaaaaat! Arnav?"

"Yes, Dad... he is all fit and fine"

"Really? Where was him? how is he?"

"By God's grace, he is fine, Dad"

"Tell him, I will come to RM to meet him tomorrow"

"Sure, Dad. Will you manage shopping alone?"

"Certainly not...we will go shopping tomorrow or the day after tomorrow"

"Will try, Dad"

"See you, Beta"

"Bye Dad" Payal disconnected the call.

"You could have gone with him, Payal," Anjali said.

"That's ok, Di"

"Go with them at least tomorrow"

"How could I go? Arnav is here after a long struggle"

"You no need to be here tomorrow because even Chotte and Akash will go to the office for sure"

"Anjali is right, Payal. You go tomorrow" Nani said.

"Call your father and tell him you are coming tomorrow" Anjali insisted.

Payal went, taking her mobile. Khushi went to the washroom to wash her hands.

"I feel relieved" Said Nani, touching her knee.

"I will be happy if the medicine works," Anjali asked delightedly.

Nani nodded yes.

"What Damadji and Sheetal are doing?" Nani asked.

"They are in the living room," Anjali said with a changed expression.

"Haven't you talked to Dadmaji yet?"

"No... I don't feel like talking to him. How rude he was...! As Chotte is back, don't know what's running in their minds" Anjali said.

"he will try to talk to you..."

"But, I'm not going to give up this time easily," Anjali said sternly.

"Make sure, they won't trouble Khushi," Nani said in a low tone.

Khushi, who just came out of the washroom heard it. They smiled at her. Khushi also acted like she didn't hear them.

"Anjali, take Khushi bitiya to Chotte's room. He would like Khushi to come to his room" Nani said.

"That's ok Naniji," Khushi said.

"Arrey, come with me..." Anjali clutched her hand.

Khushi looked at Nani who gestured for her to go. They headed to Arnav's room. When they neared Arnav's room, Khushi clutched Anjali's hand and stopped her, hearing someone talking about HER. Khushi didn't know from where the voice is coming but Anjali knew. The voice came from Arnav's room and it was none other than Sheetal who is talking about Khushi to Arnav,

"Don't you get anyone other than the village girl? What did you see in her that you didn't find in me?"

"I don't have to answer you... she is a girl who is beyond the comparison... understand?" Arnav's voice sounded furious.

"Why ASR? Didn't you think of me once before deciding to get married to her?"

"Who are you? Why should I think of you? this is my life..."

"I love you, ASR"

"Damn your love... shut up and get out of my room"

"This is not done, ASR... you should not have done this to me..."

"I just did... out..."

Anjali pulled Khushi to the nearby room and made her stand there. She gestured her not to come out. Khushi nodded ok. Sheetal who came out of Arnav's room got struck, seeing Anjali. Sheetal started walking as if nothing happened. When she was about to cross Anjali,

"Stop..."

Sheetal looked at her.

"Don't you have sense? Why won't you understand he doesn't like you?"

"Bhabi..."

"Shut uppppp" Anjali shouted like manioc.

Raizada gathered there, hearing her high pitch tone, including Arnav.

"I don't want you to be here anymore..." Anjali said strictly.

"Bhaibi..."

"Get out... get out of this house"

"Rani Sahiba..."

Anjali showed her palm and stopped him.

"Bhai, she asked me to leave the house..."

Shyam looked at Anjali gulping down.

"My brother won't leave my side... he will stand for me... he will not allow me to go from here"

Before Shyam said anything,

"I have no problem if you want to take your brother who never left your side... just leave me alone... I want to be peaceful without your troubles. Enough... enough of your tantrums... take your brother with you..." She sneered making everyone shocked to the core.

Shocking Truth

"I have no problem if you want to take your brother who never left your side... just leave me alone... I want to be peaceful without your troubles. Enough... enough of your tantrums... take your brother with you..." She sneered making everyone shocked to the core.

Taking a few long steps, Arnav reached Anjali.
