The Big Confrontation

Arshi stood holding hands with each other, Nervousness evident on their faces.

"Are you sure Arnavji" Khushi asked softly

"They're your family shona, They'll help you" Arnav tried to assure

"I really hope... They're not angry" Khushi said hopefully

"They won't be... It was a shock to them... The way you got married to Arnav that day. Its been weeks... They would've gotten over it by now" Payal said

Khushi smiled as Arnav pressed the doorbell

Arnav and Khushi had decided this morning to go to the GH and seek the full story. Khushi was obviously not in the country when The Shyam Manohar Jha episode happened, And Payal... Well payal told them what she knew, But that wasn't enough. They needed to know more. And the answers could be given only by Buaji and Garima

"Arnavji... You guys go inside, I'll come after making an important call" Payal said suddenly

"We could wait... Payal jiji" Khushi said

"No sweety... I'll join you in a bit, You go on" Payal said gently holding her hand in assurance. Payal turned to leave and the front door of GH opened revealing a tired looking Garima.

"Pranam Amma! Kaisi hain aap?? (Greetings Mother!! How are you??)" Khushi greeted

Garima ignored her

"Arnav Babua... Aap yahaan?? Kaise?? (Arnav Babua... How come you're here?)" Garima asked

"We're not here to trouble you. We won't take long. Just here for a bit of chat that's all" Arnav answered smiling

"What is the trouble Arnavji? Please come in" Garima invited

Khushi and Arnav entered Khushi's maternal home for the first time, Hand in hand. Arnav could feel Khushi getting awkward, He pressed her hand lightly in assurance. Khushi smiled a little at the gesture.

"Aaiye Arnav Ji... Baithiye Na! Aur sab log kaise hain Wahaan?? Maaaji, Aapki Mamiji... Mama ji? (Come Arnavji... Please be seated. And how's everyone at RM, Maaji [Meaning Naniji] Your Mamiji And Mamaji??" Garima asked

"Sab theek Hain. Aap log bataiye? (Everyone is good, What about you people?)" Arnav asked courteously

"Ham Sab bhi... Bahut Ache hain... Payal Bitiya apne ghar ko aur apne pati ko acche se sambhaale hue toh hain Na? Koi shikayat toh nahi... Unse?(We're all very good. How is Payal bitiya doing?? Is she coping well with the duties of a wife and Daughter-in-law? Are there any complaints??) Garima asked

"Oh, No no no Garima Aunty... Both your daughters are the best daughters in law RM could ever ask for, There are no complaints" Arnav said

Garima smiled a little uneasily. Khushi knew why, She was sitting in the house which was once her home like an unwelcomed guest. ("Oh, Who the hell are you kidding girl?? This house was never your home. And never will be" Her mind reminded her) However, She tried to break the Ice

"Amma? Where's Buaji and Bauji?" Khushi asked in an attempt to start a conversation

"I'm here... Who called me?" Buaji asked entering the hall where Arshi and Garima were sitting. She glanced at the place where Arshi sat and her face turned disgustingly pale

Khushi noticed that, And her grip on Arnav's hand tightened a bit.

"Oh, Khushi... What are you doing here?? And Arnav Babua is here too!!" Buaji exclaimed

"They're here for a chat Jiji." Garima informed her

"Oh, What is it Arnavji? Is something wrong at RM?" Buaji asked worried
