Part 27 Invitation

Khushi wondered as Anjali also slept in Nani's room. She thought Anjali was just upset with Shyam. But it seems she was not ready to give up her anger easily. Khushi felt bad for Anjali. At the same time, she was happy seeing her doing this for Arnav.

The next morning

Khushi woke up earlier as usual. The pleasant smell of Dhoopstick had been spread all over the RM that made her heart light. She started, getting ready as that was her first day at the office.

Anjali finished the Pooja and came out. She saw Shyam standing outside the Pooja room. She walked as if there was no one exist. Shyam clutched her hand and stopped her from going. Anjali stood without looking at him.

*Rani Sahiba, please listen to me once. Please forgive me for all the deeds which hurt you. I was with my sister because I didn't think standing for her love is wrong. I thought in somedays Arnav will accept her*

*I think you have forgotten what you did to me. I too didn't say standing for your sister is wrong. I too did that a few times for your sister because I too thought Chotte will accept her someday. But you started pressurizing me which I never expected from you. you started forcing me to get a yes from Chotte. Who are you to force my brother? Being my husband could you do anything to get what you want? I LOVED you... this is what you give me for loving you... *

*LOVED? Don't you love me now? *

*There won't be love where there is domination... you dominated me... like hell... like anything... Could love reside in my heart for the person who never minded killing my feelings? *

*Rani Sahiba I know I was wrong. I felt it when Arnav got missed. I felt ashamed for myself for making him leave RM. I felt ashamed to be one of the reasons for his stress...*

*It's too late... until last night, your sister didn't stop forcing my brother. It's because of you... the courage she got from you. if you would have slapped her for torturing my brother she had never dared to do it again*

*I have thrown her out of RM*

Anjali chuckled sarcastically.

*There won't be any use... she won't be quiet. Mark my words if she does anything to my Chotte, I will kill her for sure*

*You no need to do that. I will take care of her. But, don't say my love for you is not true*

Anjali shrugged his hand off and walked. She and Shyam had no idea that someone was hearing their talks.

Arnav came downstairs, getting ready. His eyes wandered for Khushi. He smiled seeing her coming with Nani. Khushi got stuck, seeing Dashing Arnav. He looked damn handsome in the black coat with an ice blue shirt. This is the first time she was seeing him in a three-piece suit.

Anjali made him sit straight opposite to him. She had breakfast stealing a glance of him. Arnav called HP.

*Hari Prakash...*

*Jee, Arnav baba*

*Bring my laptop bag from my room*

*Jee* he rushed to Arnav's room.

That's when they heard a calling bell sound. As Hari Prakash went to bring Arnav's bag, NK went to open the door. He smiled seeing Payal's father Bolinath Sinha.

*Hello uncle (NK smiled) Payal Bhabi, your father is here* he said looking inside.

Bolinath got inside and saw Arnav taking his laptop bag from HP.

*Arnav...*

Arnav smiled at him.

*What a pleasant surprise... you made us stuck you know*

Arnav nodded yes.

*Thank God, you came back. These guys literally died*

*I know Mr. BNS. How are you? * Arnav said.

*I'm fine, Arnav. The day after tomorrow is Payal's mother's birthday. Actually, I didn't want to celebrate it before as anyone of us was interested to celebrate it. I thought to just gift my wife... but now, as these guys got you back, I will grandly celebrate the party. You are also invited...*

*Sorry, Mr. BNS. I have a load of work to finish... don't you know my schedule? *

*Try to give us an hour at least, Arnav*

*I will try...*

He looked at Khushi standing with her handbag.

*Shall we go?* Arnav asked her.

Bolinath looked at her and then Payal questioningly like, who is this girl with Arnav?

*Khushi...* Payal called her.

Khushi looked at her. Payal pulled her to her father.

*Dad, she is Khushi... going to be Mrs. ASR*

Bolinath raised his brows unbelievably.

*Mrs. ASR...? * he asked looking at Arnav who was smiling.

*What great news Arnav...*

*Khushi, he is my father*

Khushi tried to touch his feet but Bolinath stopped her.

*Be happy...* he said touching her head.

Khushi slipped a gorgeous smile and about to left the place.

*Beta, you are invited to the party and you should not deny me*

Khushi looked at Payal bewildered and then Arnav.

*Actually, uncle... I...*

Cutting her,

*Dad, I will bring her to the party* Payal said.

*Payalji, Arnavji...*

*Your Arnavji won't say anything...* Payal said looking at Arnav who rolled his eyes. Khushi left the place with a blush.

Arnav and Khushi went to AR.

*Is Arnav really going to marry her? * Bolinath asked.

Raizadas knew why he asked the question. People who knew Arnav very well will definitely ask the question. Before anyone answered,

*Yes, Bhai is going to marry her* Akash said.

*I can't believe this...*

*Bhai liked her...* Akash said.

*That's what I can't believe*

*There is nothing to be wondered. Bhai can make anything possible* Akash said proudly.

*Yeah... that's true* Bolinath said.

He looked at Raizadas.

*Guys, this is an official invitation. Don't mistake me. I have no time to print invitations*

Raizadas nodded ok.

*Akash, I'm leaving* Payal said.

Akash nodded ok. Payal left RM with her father.

In the car

Arnav saw Khushi thinking deeply.

*What are you thinking going to be Mrs. ASR? * Arnav asked smilingly.

Khushi blushed.

*Payalji's father invited me to the party...* she said pouting.

*Haan, so? *

*I have never attended any party so far, Arnavji*

*It's because you never got a chance to attend a party*

*I'm scared Arnavji...*

*Scared? But why?*

*I don't know how to behave at those parties...*

*You are not going to ramp walk in the party, Khushi. Just take part with Raizada woman... I mean with your in-laws* he chuckled.

*No, Arnavji. I'm not going to the party*

Arnav stopped the car in the signal.

*Khushi, listen. You have to get used to it. We would attend many conferences and Royal parties in the future. We can't skip it Khushi... understand? *

Khushi bit her nail. Yes, Arnav is right. How could she skip such events being Arnav's PA? She should make herself up to face anything. Hiding behind the old habit doesn't suit her anymore.

*Khushi...* Arnav shook her shoulder.

Khushi looked at him and nodded ok.

*That's good...*

*And, Arnavji... I witnessed something today morning*

*What?*

*Anjaliji shouted at Shyamji*

*Today morning? *

She nodded yes.

*When did it happen? *

*When I went to the Pooja room. Anjaliji is very much angry with Shyamji*

Arnav nodded yes.

*Won't Anjaliji get cooled*

*Khushi, relax... you don't have to think about it. Di will handle it.*

*The matter is about you, Arnavji. Won't you do anything regarding it? *

*What do you want me to do? *

*I don't know*

*Khushi you know nothing about what happened here. Di loved him very much and got married to him without listening to anyone. She got into a relationship with a lot of expectations, Khushi. She must be upset. It will take time for her to heal. We have to give her time. Ok...?*

*Theirs also love marriage? * Khushi asked.

Arnav nodded yes smilingly understanding the meaning of ALSO? His and Khushi's marriage will also be a love marriage. Even Arnav could not believe he is going to marry a girl with whom he had fallen in love. Love can change anything... including ASR... he smiled.

To be continued...

The next update is available on iNKITT

Khushi is in AR

Arnav told about Anjali and Shyam.

*Di loved him verymuch. At that time, Jeejaji was not so firm in his job. He is a lawyer. Naniand Mami were not fine with the marriage. It was me who supported Di's decisionof marrying Jeejaji. She was so happy with Jeejaji as she loves him very much.That time, Sheetal was staying in the Hostel. After six months, jeejaji wantedto go from RM as Sheetal was about to finish her graduation.
