Chapter 39

Anjali: (Grins) Welcome Madhu. Welcome, Khushi.

Madhu: Thank you for inviting us. And you two look so good together.

Khushi: (Winks) Now I see why Samar Ji loves you so much.

Samar: (Laughs) Thanks Khushi. You two look absolutely gorgeous.

Khushi: Thanks but not more than your wife.

Anjali blushed while Samar wrapped his arm around her waist. Madhu wondered if she will be able to get such a happy married life with Mukund. Soon Kush came there.

Anjali: Kush this is Khushi and this...

Kush: Honey!! 

Kush rushed toward Madhu and hugged her tightly.

Madhu: Happy birthday Kush.

Kush: Thank you. (Points toward Khushi) She's your friend?

Madhu nodded and Kush turned towards Khushi.

Khushi: Hey Kush. I am Khushi. Happy birthday. (Gives him his birthday present)

Kush: (Blushes) Thank you. You are beautiful.

Khushi and Madhu giggle.

Kush: (to Anjali) Mummy, can i take them with me?

Anjali: okay.

Kush was completely enjoying their company. They were playing with his friends when suddenly Rishab's mobile buzzed in his pocket. He had taken his mobile to play games.

Kush: Oh oh.

Madhu: Kush? Are you okay?

Kush: Honey can you please give this to Pooh? I want to play with Khushi.

Madhu chuckled at Kush's reaction when he said Khushi. It was clear that someone was having his first crush on Khushi. So Madhu decided to return Pooh's mobile herself.

Madhu: (Mutters) Let's find you, Mr. Pooh.

So Madhu went and looked all over but she couldn't find anyone mature enough to be dressed as pooh. The only person dressed as Pooh was a seven-month-old baby. She tried to check the phone contacts but it was password locked. And damn the wallpaper was a typical guy one. It was from the Arrow series.

Khushi was playing with the kids. Right now she was one of them. Blindfolded she was chasing them when suddenly her heart started thumping loudly. She could sense someone familiar around. She turned around and knocked into someone rather tall and lost her balance. But before she could hit the floor a pair of arms strongly held her by the waist. His touch sent a shiver down her spine. And then that person slowly but carefully removed her blindfold and she slowly opened her big brown almond eyes. And there was the person who made her feel a tide of emotions whenever he was near.

Arnav was staring at her. She was really his fairy. She was so innocent and pure but was this for real? Or maybe all this was a facade. He remembered what he saw seven years back and heard her talking to her boyfriend yesterday. So he roughly pushed her away. Khushi stood there hurt. But surprisingly she was not hurt by his behavior. She just wanted to find the reason behind his bipolar nature.

Rishab was upstairs when he saw a girl in a Hogwarts robe wandering around with his mobile. What the hell? He was very possessive about his mobile and here some thief was freely roaming around. How could his sister invite such people to the party? Suddenly a thought struck him. What if she was an impersonator? Maybe there was a loophole in the security. And this person saw it as an opportunity to make some money. He decided it was better to follow her rather than call and alert her.

Madhu sensed that someone was following her. Oh, God!! She decided to act normally and continued walking slowly. But she didn't even dare to look behind. She quickly picked up a vase lying on the side table.

Rishab : (To himself) Vase!? She can at least leave the vase alone!!

Madhu : (To herself) Be brave Madhu, on the count of three. One. Two. Three.

With that Madhu whirled around and raised the vase to hit the person but stopped when she realized who it was. Rishab was also shocked by this sudden turn of events but fortunately, he held her hand in time. 

Rishab: What the f*ck Madhu !?

Madhu: YOU!!!

Rishab: Yes me!! Do you want to kill me!??

He took the vase away from her hand.

Madhu: I...I thought someone was stalking me.

Rishab: Stalking? And that too..you?

Madhu: I don't have time for this Rishab. I have to find Pooh.

Rishab: Pooh. (Smirks) Do you know what he looks like?

Madhu: I don't know. But I guess he will be cute and lovable.

Rishab: You like Pooh?

Madhu: Who doesn't? But why are you asking?

Rishab: Well then Pooh likes you too. (winks)

Madhu: W-What?
