Chapter 8

Kushi - Hi Payal.

Payal smiled a little - Hi Kushi ji....

Kushi - Woh.... Iam sorry on behalf of Arnav ji. I heard that you both were about to get engaged.

Payal - That's ok. Anyways there was nothing between us. It was elder's decision.

Kushi - But Aarti Aunty said that you have been through so much. Iam sorry Payal. Arnav ji never did anything wantedly. He never cheated on you.

Payal - Truly saying. I was angry at him for leaving without any information like that. Because Mom and Dad was so much upset. But after I heard whatever happened..... I realized Arnav ji was never at mistake.

NK - Leave it Bhabhi. There is no need to feel sorry.

Kushi - Why ?

NK - Because Arnav Bhai toh bach gaye. But bechara Aakash Bhai phas gaye.

Payal glared at him and whined - Di....

Anjali - NK, stop teasing her.

NK giggled and looked at confused Kushi.

NK - This is Aakash my Brother. He is working as Payal Bhabhi's husband for past four years. Poor man.....

Aakash rolled his eyes - NK you are going to get me beaten by Payal.

Payal pouted - Aakash.... Look how he's teasing me.

Aakash - You both will eat me alive one day Iam telling you. Can't you both spent a day without fighting ? And Payal you.... I can't believe you are.....

NK - Oh hello..... Stop ok. Why are you shouting like a drunken monkey now ? We were not fighting. Hein na Payu ?

Payal nodded her head. Aakash looked at Shyam and grinned. Shyam chuckled.

Aakash - Hi Kushi ji. Iam Aakash. Iam happy seeing you.

Kushi just smiled looking at him.

NK - Ok ok guys...... Now what's the plan ?

Everyone frowned hearing him.

NK looked at Kushi - Bhabhi, Can we have the pleasure of sharing our family with You and your husband ?

Kushi smiled.

NK - It has been difficult phase of everyone in our family without Arnav Bhai. We all were waiting for his one day when we can have him back in our home. Will you help us ?

Kushi looked at him stunned. They want their Arnav back ? But isn't he her Arnav ji now ?

Anjali - Don't worry Kushi ji. I can understand your hesitance. We understand that Chote, I mean Arnav.... Is a married man now.

Kushi looked here and there - Anjali ji.... As I said before, it should be his decision.

NK - Arey, I know that Bhabhi. You just help us.

Kushi - What help ?

NK - Do something and make us stay with you.

Kushi gasped with wide eyes - What ?

NK - Make some excuse and make us stay with you. Rest we all together will manage.

Kushi - Look Nannu. I don't know your Arnav Bhai. The Arnav ji I know...... Mujhe dewar pe chunvadenge...... (He will nail me in wall )

NK - Bhabhi but....

They were speaking while they heard a voice from behind.

Arnav - Kushi.

Kushi froze in her place and turned slowly. She smiled sheepishly at him.

Arnav - What are you doing here ?

Kushi - Me.... Nothing.... Absolutely nothing Arnav ji. I was just......

Arnav shook his head and taking hold of Kushi's hand he started walking away from them.

NK pouted while others looked at him sighing.

Anjali - NK stop your mischiefs.

NK - Di, I can't loose the chance of spending whatever time we have with him. I will do anything in my power to bring everyone together.

Shyam - You are very young for all this Nannu.

NK - I will do that Jiju. Dekhna aap.....

He went away towards the direction where Arnav went few minutes ago.

Payal - I just hope our Nannu doesn't get hurt in all this.

Aakash - Even if we get hurt it's worth Payal. It's our Arnav Bhai we are fighting for. Whatever may come, we will manage it and bring him back in our lives.

The family looked at him accepting. But what will be Arnav's decision only time will say......
