Part 29 Two types of plans...

The next four days went swiftly. Arnav almost finished his portion except, two or three scenes. In those days, Akanksha was highly irritated about Arnav's involvement with her. She couldn't hold herself from comparing his involvement with her and Khushi. She saw his eyes spoke volumes when he acted with Khushi. But she didn't see such emotions in his eyes when he was with her. She felt dejected even though it was acting. She wanted to teach him a lesson and separate him from Khushi. She plotted a plan in her mind. Before implementing the plan, she wanted to get approval from Rohit because he is the one who could help her in this matter. So, she called him to discuss her plan.

"Hi..."

Without reciprocating him,

"Listen to me. I have a plan to separate Arnav and Khushi."

Rohit flinched as she came to the point directly.

"Tell me."

"Tomorrow is the last day of THE FIRST LOVE shooting."

"I know that."

"I'm going to throw a party for the unit people."

"Party? Why?"

"In the party, I'm going to spike Arnav's drink or food."

Rohit became curious.

"Then?"

"I will bring him to my room..."

"Wow..."

"And I will record a video and will send it to Khushi."

"What a master plan...!" he appreciated.

"I want you to be with me because I don't want to fail this time."

"Sure. I will be there on time."

"No... not on time... a little late. So, Arnav won't' see you."

"Ok fine. As you say..."

Cutting him,

"come with the needed drug..."

"Yeah sure."

They disconnected the call with a wild smirk. They were fully set to ruin Arnav and Khushi's love story.

On the other hand,

Arnav was full set to celebrate Khushi's birthday. It was the day after tomorrow. He wanted it to be an unforgettable day of their life.

"What are going to do on Khushi's birthday?" Ratna asked.

"Mom, my shooting schedule is getting over tomorrow. So, I will be with Khushi on her birthday."

"Then what about me? When will I meet her?"

"Mom, this is her first birthday after she confessed her love to me. So please let me be with her."

"Ok. I will go to her house today then."

"Are you really going to her house?" Arnav asked unbelievably.

"Yes... why?"

"I thought you would also be a typical mother-in-law."

Arnav laughed. Ratna hit him on his shoulder.

"Why today? You can go tomorrow..." Arnav asked.

"She may be busy with her friends tomorrow."

"Maybe..."

"I don't want to disturb her personal space. So, I'm going to her home today."

"Ok."

Arnav paused for a while.

"Mom, please don't ask her anything about her confession."

"Ok, baba... I won't show anything as I know about it. Ok?"

"Thank you, mom."

"you are getting late."

"Mom... let me know, from time to time, what you guys are doing."

"I will send our selfies also... done?"

"Love you mom..." he kissed her cheek and left RM.

Gupta House

Khushi surprised, seeing Ratna in her house. Even though she was surprised she ran towards her and hugged her.

"How are you beta?"

"I'm fine aunty. What a pleasant surprise? You here?"

"Happy birthday in double advance."

Khushi was stunned.

"Are you really here to wish me?"

Ratna nodded yes.

"But my birthday is..."

Cutting her,

"Day after tomorrow."

"Then why today?"

"It's because you may prefer to spend time with your friends..."

"I have no idea to celebrate my birthday, aunty."

"You can't escape just like that."

Khushi chuckled.

"Please come in, aunty."

Ratna kept the bag on the table which she brought.

"What's this aunty?"

"Lunch for us."

"Laxmi Didi is there to cook aunty."

"Let her take rest today." Ratna smiled.

"Don't you need to rest?"

"It's not a big deal. Chotte often takes me out. And I have no compulsion to cook. Hari Prakash cooks well."

"Why don't you just let him cook aunty?"

"Because it gives me happiness and satisfaction."

While talking, Khushi brought Ratna to her room.

"This is my room."

"Wow... it's so blowy."

They sat on the couch that is next to a huge window.

"How are your days without shooting going?"

"So lazily..." Khushi chuckled.

"Chotte is not lucky enough to be lazy in this pleasant climate."

"Yeah...he is working for Gangadhar sir's movie."

"Yeah... he has to finish the movie before he quits the field."

Khushi was dumbfounded. It seems Arnav had spoken with his parents about quitting the field.

"I'm so happy about his decision you know..."

Khushi widened her eyes.

"I want him to lead a peaceful life. Whenever his movie releases, he became tense. It's the biggest struggle to stand in the field. I wanted him to take over his father's business. Not that I'm not happy about his career... of course, I'm proud of him but the tension and gossips he faces is the hell you know."

Khushi nodded yes.

"I'm glad that he had taken the decision for you..."

Khushi was astonished.

"He loves you so much. I was worried about his DON'T CARE nature. This is the first time; he is showing some seriousness in something. Whenever he gets gossiped with someone, I get nervous. I pray it must be just gossip not more than that because I don't like any of his heroines... except you."

Khushi tried hard to hide her happiness.

"Actually, I liked you before Chotte started liking you." She chuckled.

"I know aunty."

"I and Arvindji want you to be together... forever."

Khushi gulped hard.

"Didn't Arnav say anything to you?" she asked hesitatingly.

"About what?" she asked as if she doesn't know about it.

"Actually, I have accepted his proposal, aunty..." She broke the egg.

"Really? Thank God." Ratna hugged her happily.

Ratna doesn't want them to play hide and seek. She wanted them to be free to do anything... with their support.

"I'm so happy to get you as my Bahu."

Khushi was about to touch Ratna's feet, she stopped her.

"My blessings are always with you." She kissed her forehead and hugged her.

"Thank you for accepting me as your Bahu, aunty."

"it's me who should thank you for accepting my crazy son." Ratna chuckled. So did Khushi.

At the same time, Ratna's phone rang.

"It must be your would-be." Ratna teased.

Her guess was right. The call was from Arnav.

"I won't talk to you, Chotte." She pretended like she was angry with him.

"What I did Mom?"

"You didn't tell me that Khushi accepted your proposal..." she making angry face.

Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Has Khushi told you?"

"She is not like you to hide things..."

"God these women... I thought not to make her embarrass... but she..." he sighed.

Ratna gulped the chuckle which broke into her throat.

"I will deal with you later. Wait. I need some water. I talked a lot with Khushi. Khushi, talk with him until I come." Handing the mobile to Khushi, Ratna went downstairs... of course, intentionally... giving them space.

"Hello..."

"Did you tell her everything?"

"No... not everything..." She chuckled.

"Why not? Just tell her how I kissed you... how I hugged you..."

"Yeah... I have forgotten that... let me tell her..."

"Wait for a day... I'm going to give something very special on your birthday. After that, you can add it too."

"Oh... what's that?"

"Something very special... no one can get..."

"Oh..."

"Yeah... the gift is nothing but Arnav."

"How many times, will you give yourself to me?"

"No... I didn't give in the way I'm going to give you on your birthday." He said puzzled.

Khushi's heartbeat rose erratically.

"How?"

"If I give in the way I think, you will also give yourself to me."

"Shut up Arnav."

"Why?"

"I know what you are thinking."

"What?"

"It will never happen until our marriage."

"What are you talking about?"

"Arnav don't play with me. I won't see you on my birthday then."

"Hey cool... your imagination level is so high, Khushi. ok... what you think is not what I said... don't you trust me?"

"Mmm..."

"say it with a smile."

"I trust you."

"That's my girl."

"What will you give me?"

"You will get to know that on your birthday."

Khushi pouted.

"Ok, I have to go. bye."

"Bye."

Arnav kissed the phone edge and the sound kissed her ear.

Arnav was planning something which even Ratna doesn't know. He doesn't want to break the surprise until Khushi's birthday. So, he has not told his plan to Ratna. Before he implements his plan, there is another plan that is ready to ruin their future. If their plan gets succeeded, Arnav's won't get a chance to implement his plan. Let's see... what's going to happen.

To be continued...

The next part is available on Inkitt

Party

Arnav was discussing the last shot of the movie with the director. That's when Akanksha came to him and smiled at him. Arnav responded to her smile.

"I have been arranging for a party as we have completed the movie shoot. I hope you will take part in it, forgetting all the differences between us." She said politely.
