*Hello...* she said in a gauzy tone.

*Why did you call my Dad?* Arnav pulled her leg.

*I didn't call him...*

*Oh...then?*

*I called YOU...*

*What is so urgent to talk to your would-be husband Khushi? We will talk tomorrow in our engagement*

*What engagement?* she asked pretending.

*Have you forgotten? You challenged me... you challenged Arnav Singh Raizada...*

*Challenge? When did I?* she asked as if she had forgotten it.

*In your home while eating PAV BAJI, you said I can't marry you*

*Yes, I did... so?*

*So... I'm going to win the challenge by marrying you*

*Without my YES, my parents won't agree to the marriage. Mind it...*

*You will say YES...* he said confidently.

*Oh...really?* she asked sarcastically.

*Realllllly...* Arnav said.

*Let's see...who will win whom*

*What's the bet?*

*Bet...? If you win, I will be in your house after our marriage...* she said controlling her laughter.

*You have to be in our house... in my room... on my chest...*

*Shut up...you, filthy head...*

*If I win, you should spend a FULL day with me next week... what say? *

*IF you win...* she stressed.

*Yes... If I win...* he also did the same.

*Done...*

*Good night sweetheart...* he disconnected the call.

Khushi smiled at her phone. She was curious to know what Arnav was going to do.

RM

Arvind sat next to Ratna.

*Ratna...*

*Mmmm?*

*WE need your help...*

*WE? Who are those WE? * she chuckled.

Arvind knew she intentionally teasing him.

*For whom do I come for the recommendation? I and Chotte...*

*What help? Do you guys need extra sweets tomorrow?* she asked with a serious expression.

*Stop teasing me, Ratna. You know what I'm talking about...*

*How do I know? Did you tell me anything?*

*Chotte wants me to tell you because he believes that you won't deny any of my requests...*

*Oh...*

*Please, Ratna... you know what Khushi did?*

*What did she do?*

*She challenged our Chotte it seems...*

*What challenge?*

*She said he can't marry her...*

*Is that a challenge? She said the reality. Why do you guys take it that way?*

*Didn't it a challenge?*

*No... if she would have said, MARRY ME IF YOU CAN, it would be a challenge... but she said, you can't marry me...*

Arvind sighed. Ratna controlled her smile.

*Chotte handed me an important task trusting me. But, I can't complete it...*

*What task did he give you?*

*He wants us to ask Khushi's hand when she comes with her family*

*Does Khushi love Chotte?*

*I strongly think so*

*How?*

*A few minutes ago, she called Chotte. He gave me his phone. Before I talk, she shouted, threatened, warned Chotte... as same as you did when I was behind you...* he laughed.

Ratna looked at him shrinking her eyes.

*I'm sure you will easily find out what's in her mind... please do it for our Chotte...*

*What do you want me to do?*

*As a mother, just ask her hand from her parents. If she doesn't ready, just leave it...*

*Do one thing, you ask her hand...*

Arvind's face radiated.

*Why not? I will surely ask...* he stopped.

*Why do you want me to ask?*

*They may think it's my sole will. If you ask, they will think we already discussed...*

*Wow... this is what Ratna is...*

*We have a lot of work tomorrow. Go to sleep*

*Yes... yes...* Arvind lay down happily.

The next day

RM became feverish. It was getting ready to welcome Raizadas. Ratna came to the living room, finishing all the work. Arvind was already waiting there. Only Arnav is missing.

*Where is Chotte? * Ratna asked.

*Let me call him...* Arvind removed his mobile and was about to dial,

They heard a calling bell sound. Ratna rushed to open the door and Arvind followed her. They saw Guptas standing at the doorstep.

*Namaste...* Ratna greeted them joining her hands.

They came inside. Ratna asked them to sit.

*Hariprakash...* she called.

Understanding her gesture, HP brought them mango juice. Khushi's eyes were wandering around RM expecting someone, which was not gone unnoticed by Ratna.

Proposal

Khushi's eyes wandered around RM searching for someone. Ratna noticed it. Its good Arnav is not here, Ratna thought.

*We are glad to have you in our house* Arvind said.

*We feel honored ...* Shashi said.

*You too said you will also come to our house next Sunday. Don't forget that...* Garima said.
