Arnav was sitting in his conference room. Watching a stupid presentation, Though he was reluctant to leave... But The matter at the office needed his attention. And Anjali di and Payal assured him that They'll take care of Khushi. He had to half-heartedly give in and here he was... Sitting in the office... Half of his being worried sick about Khushi, Right now. All he wanted to do was get up and leave for Shantivan at the earliest possible time.

But that'd be rude.

"Oh why can't they just end the presentation already" Arnav thought desperately

But it seems DM was testing his patience already,

"Hey Devimaiyya... Mein kya karuin, Agar Khushi ek baar bhi mujhe rok leti toh... Arggghhh (Oh Devimaiyya... What do I do. If only Khushi would've stopped me... Arggghhh)" Arnav thought

"But... Uski bhi kyaa galati hai. (But what's her fault) Arnav sighed

FLASHBACK

"Arnavji... You should go, It's been almost two weeks that you're constantly with me. Your work is also important Right?" Khushi said

"Not at all more than you, Nothing is more important to me when you're there to chose" Arnav said

"I know... And I'm blessed Arnavji. I promise I will call you if I need you, Without giving it a second thought" Khushi said

"Without thinking that you'll disturb me?" Arnav asked

"Even if you're in the middle of that meeting you're going for. I promise" Khushi assured

Arnav kissed her forehead "I still don't want to go Khushi" Arnav said

"But you have to." Khushi said

"Khushi" Arnav whined

"Jaiye... Aur jaldi wapis aaiyega(Go and come back soon)" Khushi said softly

"Lunch karlena... Agar mein late hogaya toh don't wait. Payal aur Di ke saath lunch karlena. I will try my best to come back though I promise (have your lunch Okay If I get late, Don't wait, Have your lunch with Payal and Di)" Arnav said

"Okay" She said

"Bhai... Are you even listening to them?" Akash whispered

"Huh... What??" Arnav whispered snapping into reality

"I knew it. Meeting khatam hogayi bhai (The meeting is over brother)" Akash said

"Okay... I was distracted" Arnav confessed smiling sheepishly

"Of course... Presentation dekhi? Ya... (Did you see the presentation? or...)" Akash asked

"No... I did. I did see" Arnav said

"I am really sorry bhai... But this really needed your presence, Warna mein nahi bolta aapko aane ke liye... I know you are worried about Khushiji. (Or I wouldn't have told you to come)" Akash said

"I know... Woh Khud bhi chaahti thi I don't ruin my work for her (She herself wanted me not to ruin my work for her)" Arnav said

"Typical Khushi" Akash said

"Um... Bhai Chalein? You already need to have your lunch or else your dear wife and my dear sister in law will be mad at us. (Um... Bhai, Shall we leave?)" Akash said

"Yeah... Let's go" Arnav said uninterested.

"Bhai... I'm really sorry" Akash apologised

"Nah... Its okay, Now I have to be habitual to this. Office toh aana hi padega (I need to come to the office) I can't escape it for long" Arnav said

"Bhai... Didn't Khushiji Call the whole day?" Akash asked when they finally left office at six thirty (Though he tried to be back early, But... As stated. He was being tested)

"No... She didn't. Wa..Wait a minute... How will she? She doesn't have a phone. Oh... I need to get her a phone for her to Call me" Arnav said sheepishly

Akash smiled at his brother, Not much of a perfectionist anymore

The Raizada brothers reached home after twenty minutes, The traffic that they had to encounter on their way back home hadn't done any good to Arnav... Who looked desperate to come back home at the earliest

Arnav entered the house mostly worn out due to working the whole day, But all his tiredness flew away when he saw all his family in the living room.

"We're home guys" Arnav announced and everyone turned to look at the brothers who in turn made their way towards one of the comfy couches

"How was your day chote?" Anjali asked

"Normally this is the line of the wives isn't it? Khushi kahan hai? (Where's Khushi?)" Arnav asked

"She is in the kitchen chote... She's making coffee. For you" Anjali said

"But how does she know I'll be home by the time she finishes?" Arnav asked

"That... I really don't know, But she's always done that hasn't she?" Anjali said

"I don't know how she manages though, It amazes me till now" Arnav said

Khushi entered the hall with a mug of steaming hot coffee in her hands,

"Lo aagayi tumhari Khushi (Here comes your Khushi)" Anjali said

Arnav looked at him and found her smiling at him, Khushi then forwarded the mug to him

"Sit here with me" Arnav said pulling her beside him after taking the coffee from Khushi

"Arnavji.." She whispered startled

"What Arnavji? Do you have any Idea how much I missed you?" Arnav asked

"Arnav bitwa... Kaam par gaye rahe tum... Ath ghante apni Biwi se door rehna bardasht Na hua tohe? (Arnav son... You were in the office, Couldn't you bear to be away from your wife even for eight hours?)" Dadi said sarcastically

Khushi stilled against him momentarily

"Dadi...I'm really sorry for being rude to you... But I think I was talking to my wife and not you. Do you really have to poke your nose in every matter of mine?" Arnav asked in a snappish manner

"Biwi ki sangat ka asar hai... Ab toh hamaar Arnav Bitwa bhi humse badtameezi kar rahe hain... Hamaar hi galti howat rahi hamesha (It's the result of the company of the wife, Now even my Arnav is talking rudely to me. It's all my fault)" Dadi said

Every soul in the living room looked pained at the rudeness and words that Dadi threw mercilessly at Khushi

"Arnavji... Please" Khushi whispered

"I'm sorry Bacche. I'm so sorry. Almost everyday-"

"I've told you a million times that it's okay. Don't be sorry" Khushi said

"Honestly... I don't give a damn Mrs Subhadra Devi... And it's only because of my wife that you're still in here. That you're still being respected by me. In this house, You'll never be allowed to say anything wrong about my wife or form an opinion about anyone... Not at all her" Arnav said sternly
