FF - Plot twist

Chapter 6 - ASR is back

Stopping the car abruptly, he turned around,"Why didn't you say so earlier?" 

Thank God, it was an empty road. NK so wanted to know what his Nannav did after his 'Smart deed'

"Nanhe bitwa, you please concentrate on driving. Remember, we are in the middle of the road," Nani reminded him.

Mumbling a small sorry, he continued his way towards the temple.

"I don't know what happened to Chote suddenly but after Khushiji and everyone left, he came to us ordering to take Shagun and ask Khushiji's hand for marriage with him the next day," narrated Anjali, throwing her hands in the air.

"No matter how much we asked, he was so stubborn and did not tell us what happened suddenly that he was rushing us for the Shagun," continued Nani.

"And suddenly he cancelled the Shagun plan and ordered us to tell the Guptas about him wanting to marry Khushiji. He said with such a determination that we could not say or ask anything."

"Now, here we are on our way to temple to pray for everything to go well," said Nani, closing her eyes, palms joined, praying to Devi Maiyya.

All the while NK was grinning widely. He expected unpredictable moves from his Nannav and that was what happened.

"Nannav would stop Khushiji or he would extract the entire truth from her, or maybe both. Nannav has the show now and all I have to do is chillax and torture Shyam," he thought, smirking.

Soon they reached a temple near Laxmi Nagar.

Sitting on a step beside Goddess's idol, she started complaining, "Hey Devi Maiyya! What should I do now? Should I leave the city or not? If I leave, where would I go? And if I stay, what would Shyamji do? I don't understand what I must do. Please show me a way, Devi Maiyya. I cannot stay away from everyone, and at the same time I don't want any harm to happen to anyone because of me."

Early morning Khushi came to her best friend to share her fickle plans and worries with her. And there she sat blaming, asking, scolding, pleading her Devi Maiyya since morning without caring about the weird looks people were giving. Her ranting came to an end when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning around she found, Nani and Anjali.

"Anjaliji? Naniji? You both, here?" Khushi asked them, surprised.

Smiling slightly, Nani said, "Yes, we are here. Don't you want us to be here?"

"No, no. I didn't mean it that way, Naniji. I was just surprised to find you both here."

"Well, we are actually coming to your house, Khushiji. To talk something important," Anjali said stressing the last words.

"Our house? Why? I mean, if you have had told us we would have come to you---"

"Khushi bitiya, first let us take the Darshan. Then we will discuss it," said Nani.

Sticking her tongue to cheek she followed them to have the Darshan again. Having Theertham and Prasad, they all settled on the steps in the temple. Closing their eyes, they felt positive energy filling them in the presence of God.

"Ab batayiye na, (Now tell me) What important matter?" Khushi asked like a child, hardly controlling her curiosity, whereas Anjali and Nani laughed. "Please stop laughing and tell me. Anything serious?" she asked with a little panic in her voice.
