Part4

Khushi : Amma can I sit in front seat?

Garima: Why not?

Khushi: I have something to ask him.( both of them glancing at each other then khushi. Garima nodded and took back seat while khushi took front one.)

Arnav: seat belt.

Khushi: what???

Arnav: put your seat belt.(he commanded and started through the destination.)

Khushi: whose car is this?

Arnav:( looking at her face). Obviously mine.

Khushi: Do you share it with anyone?

Arnav: Nnever. I DON'T LIKE, SOMEONE TOUCHING MY BELONGINGS.

Khushi: Lot of possessiveness? Just for a car?

Arnav: If I'm possessive for my car, think yourself about relationship.(he said sternly which made something in her stomach)

Khushi(gulping): ohh.. Yesterday I saw this car in front of my home. (Arnav got alarmed. He looked at Garima through Rear view mirror, She gestured him that she have no idea. Pretending to be concentrating on the road)

Arnav: May be. I often came to your area.

Khushi: Being my friend, dint you felt like meeting me?(Arnav has no answer. At the same time khushi herself has no idea, why she asked like this.)

Arnav: some questions are better unanswered khushi ( he know she is not happy with his reply.)

Khushi: What do you did, in front of our home in the rainy night?

Arnav: I just crossed by. I stopped my car for answering a call.

Khushi: Do you stop your car every time for answering in BLUE TOOTH also?(pointing at his Blue tooth)

Arnav: ohh I forgot to pick it up yesterday.

After that she didn't say anything. Garima watched them silently without interference. They reached GH.

Khshi: bye.

Arnav:( nodded yes and turn to Garima ) Bye aunty.

Garima: Bye beta Arnav smiled and left. When they entered GH they heard

Shashi: how was your day?

Khushi: Never happy before like today. Amma I'm tired. I'm going to my room.(she left)

Shashi can feel her cold behavior. He was always scared of this. He knows, with Raizadas she would be comfortable for sure. She is upset with him for not letting her to be with them. He has to do something, in her way, without hurting her.

Garima knows he is hurt. He is getting the fruit of his deed. Can't help.

When Arnav returned after dropping them, he heard his happy family's talks about Khushi.

Nani: u know? How khushi fought with Shashi to come here.

Mami: Han saasuma, when I heard it from Garima I just forgot that she lost her memory.

Arnav came and joined them.

Arnav: Really she did so?

Mami: Han Arnav bituwa, Garima herself told this.

Arnav smiled.

Nani:Thanks to DM, Khushi's condition is not that worse as we thought.

Anjali: yes Naniji, she is looking very normal. There is no change in her behavior.

La: yes Di, if she keeps on coming here often, I'm sure she no needs to get her memory back. Soon she will be one of us.

Nani(sadly): considering about her health condition only, we promised Shashi, that we never tell the truth. But today seeing khushi normal, I think we should not had been promised.

Shyam: I noticed one thing like, she is observing everything without fail. Seems like she is very strong about, facing her future.

NK: I wish she should come to know everything.

Akash: Do you think Shashi uncle will let it happen.

Hearing this Arnav clenching his jaw and stood, as if he doesn't want to hear anything negative.

Arnav: I'm sleepy. Good night.( He left.)

Payal:Because of you Bhai got upset. He was here with us after a long time. You made him go.

Akash(feeling low): but I said the truth.(looking at everyone pleadingly)

NK: Akash is right payal bhabhi. Shashi uncle will give very tough time to Naanav.

Shyam: Only for Arnav? Not for us?

Akash: Jijaji is correct. We won't leave Bhai alone. We are here for him.

Shyam(smiling): what do you think? Saale sahib will wait for you to help? Now itself his Howard brain would have started thinking about it.

All Raizadas smiling like they know it. Of course if Arnav get in to the race, no one can stop him from winning. When its about KHUSHI, only GOD knows, to which extent he can go to get her. After all he is ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA.

Khushi is thinking again and again about what happened today. She is all the while smiling. How can the whole family be like this? So sweet. So understanding. So cheerful. More than everyone, "ARNAV". His look. his smile. His voice. Everything towards her wasn't different from others? Especially the way he called her name, thinking about that itself she felt Goosebumps. She is very happy for having such a sweet person in her life. But why she is feeling like he is more than a friend? That's when she remembered," PHONE". Nk said that Arnav gifted her a iphone. She started searching for the phone. She made her room totally messed. But she didn't get what she looked for. Feeling disappointed she dozed off.

Happiest person in all this is Garima. She also felt the same about Khushi like Raizadas. Khushi's condition is not much serious like they thought before. when doctors advised her about Khushi, she was shattered totally. But now seeing Khushi in normal state, she believes that everything will be alright. She knows that there is no need to hide anything from her. But only hindrance is THE PROMISE.

Next morning there is no talks between Guptas while dinning. Knowing her mood, Shashi gave her a space, he didn't want to create more rift between them. After finishing breakfast Shashi left for office. As if waited for this moment khushi dragged Garima to her room and made her sit in the bed, she also took place next to her.

Khushi: Amma, Raizadas are very sweet, very nice, very understanding (Garima looking at her like "so"?) I told you about them, as you said yesterday. Now you tell me about them. That's it.

Garima: What do you want to know?

Khushi: The whole thing. But tell me first, how uncle and aunty die.

Garima know she won't listen to any excuse from her anymore. She has to tell her everything. Everything means not EVERYTHING.
