JOURNEY OF LOVE (COMPLETED)

33 Khushi's Declaration

"Thank you, Babuji..."

"You are always welcome..." Shashi smiled.

"I didn't expect you would agree to this marriage..."

"Why won't I agree if you found your Arjun?"

"Arnav..."

"Mmm?"

"His name in this birth is Arnav Singh Raizada..."

"Mmm... his name sounds majestic..."

Khushi nodded yes with a smile.

"Tell him, your parents agreed to the wedding"

"Don't you want to meet him?"

"Will you accept my decision if I say no after meeting him?"

Khushi was stuck.

"No, right?"

Khushi bit her lip.

"Of course, we will meet... only to fix your wedding"

"But, Bhai..." Khushi hesitated.

"I will take care of him," Shashi said.

Khushi nodded smiling.

That was when the calling bell sound hit their ears.

"Akash came I suppose" Garima went to open the door.

"As of now, don't say anything to Akash" Shashi whispered to Khushi.

She nodded ok.

To their surprise, Anirudh entered with Akash. Both friends were also surprised, to see Shashi in GH.

"Babuji... when did you come?"

"This morning"

"Why didn't you tell us anything?"

"Just to surprise you" Shashi smiled and looked at Anirudh.

"How are you, beta?"

"I'm not fine so far... as you came here, I hope I will be happy from here on," He said, looking at Khushi.

Khushi stood up from the couch and said,

"Babuji, I'm TIRED... shall I LEAVE?" she asked in the double meaning.

They understood she was TIRED explaining her stand and she wanted to LEAVE.

"Go and sleep beta. You have to go to the office tomorrow, right?"

Khushi nodded yes even though she was on leave and left.

Anirudh looked at Akash disappointedly.

"Have you had dinner?" Shashi asked.

"Not yet, Babuji"

"Go, have dinner with Anirudh..."

"That's ok, uncle. Mom will be waiting for me at home"

Shashi didn't stop him.

"Come to our home, uncle. Mom would like to meet your FAMILY"

"Sure... I and Garima will come" Shashi said, making the friends more disappointed.

Anirudh left GH with annoyance. It was clear that Shashi was not ready to entertain him but he didn't know why Shashi didn't even give him a single chance. What was the base? He could not catch up.

"Anirudh is vexed..." Akash said in a low tone.

"Vexed? But, he looked normal..."

"I mean, Khushi is not showing interest..."
