BEYOND LOVE(COMPLETED)

Part-8

"Hein!! Sasumaa… Was Arnav Bitwa walking head too high, ki woh fells kare in love!"- Mamiji burst in to a laughter.

"Anjali Bitiy told me, we are going to meet the girl, on Diwali!"- Nani headed the herd, mad family, smiling lovingly.

"Bhai and Love!". He doesn't need only a girl but a total personality transplantation, then only someone will love him back"- Aakash commented.

"Aakash mere bhai love is blind, pyaar gandha hota hai!"- NK said, confused.

"andha, Nk bitwa"- Mamaji corrected.

"But in this situation, love has to be deaf and dumb too. When Bhai will shout at others then she will run away afraid"- Aakash was nowhere to stop.

"Hum bass itna janat hai ki ladki chotey ko bha gayi hai, aage bhagwan ki marzi"- Nani wished.

"Where are we going??"- Khushi asked.

"Hai re Nand kishore! Where will we go?? No where"- Buaji placed her palm on head.

"Buaji today is Diwali!"- Khushi declared, excited about her fun time.
"Khushi! We know ,Your favourite festival, hume pata hai tumhe yeh sab bahut pasand hai"- Payal hit her mad sister,"Anjaliji, Buaji's new friend invited us to her house, for Diwali celebration!".

"The blue one"- Nk guessed.
Raizada brother's were in guessing phase.

"The red one"- Anjali Di cleared.

"wow, amazing, beautiful!"- Nk praised.

"Dheere, bhai ne sun liya toh band  baj jayega"- Aakash shushed.

A line of fairy light blinked, then another…

Khushi entered Sheesh Mahal for the second time.

She came here for her Buaji, if that laadgovernor crossed her path, she will fry him in bubbling oil and make non-veg jalebi, oops  human tandoori.

"Khushiji…"- Anjali called.

Buaji came to picture frame, a simple smiling girl and an elderly couple followed.

Nani welcomed them.

"Sashi babua aur Garima, Khushi's Amma Babuji"- Buaji introduced.

The initial greetings were exchanged.

"Crackers!I want to fire!"- Khushi was in a hurry.

"Pehle Laxmi Pujan, lets move to mandir"- Nani declared.

Khushi lighted a diya, Anjaliji distributed prasad.

Mami was flaunting her heavy necklace and Banarasi silk saree…

"Khushiji, phatake todenge, kab?? When when??"-impatience NK asked.

Arnav Singh Raizada glared his cousin.

If he doesn't stop talking with my khushi then, uske sar nariyal phod dunga!!

An aromatic smell filled the air.
Gujjiya, kaju katli, gajar ka halwa, Shahi tukda, Mohanthal, Mysore pak…

"Buaji, aap bhi na"- Di opposed, such a lavish gift.

"They are home made, safe for health"- Babuji said, politely.

"First hum tastiyaa karenge!!"- Mamiji munched on…

Soon plates were ready to serve!. Homemade!! Lucknowi sweets are always a treat.

"Arnav Bitwa ko bhi dijiye"- Garima was generous.

"He is diabetic!"- Anjali revealed.

ASR made a pathetic face. Thinking they will feel pity at him.

"Sakkar ki bimari!! At such young age!! We will make sugar free sweets for him"- Khushi had solution.

"Naniji, crackers!"- Nk reminded.

Khushi find a match stick.

"I never knew! Phatake bhi phatake phodte hain!"- ASR smirked, at khushi.

"Kya!!"- Khushi flinched.

"Tum red saree mein ekdum hatke, phataka lag rahi ho"-Arnav flirted.

"Stay away from me!! Battameez insaan"- Khushi kept a distance.

"Yehi mujhe kehna tha, mujhse door raho khubsurat ladki, warna bina match stick ke aag lag jaayega!!"- He warned.

"You are teasing!"- She fought.

"Not me but you are teasing me. Sugar free sweets for me haan!!"- He walked a step closer.

She backed off a step, as if hallucinated, reflex action.

" Haan, matlab Nehi… that was because I can't tolerate a stomach ache, hum kha rahe honge aur aap dekhte rahoge toh pet mein dard hoga, phir ulti hogi!!"- Khushi reasoned.

"And then…"- He was now towering and she mellowing at a corner," Khushi yeh kya bol rahi ho!! Itna sab before marriage"…

"Lets fire crackers"- He invited her, to the garden area.

"Where were you both? Come light the Diyas and fire the crackers!"- Di gave them a bunch.

" He was not misbehaving or lifting you again! Was he??"- Shyam jiju confirmed.

He did with his words and dropped me in a cold surface, to feel the chill alone. Khushi shouted mentally.

"Khushi, phataka"- Arnavji gave her another winning smirk.

"By the way when are you making sugar free sweets for me??"-His eyes on her quivering lips.

"I will smear poison in it "- Khushi spitted.

"Deadly combination!"- He show the consequence.

"I will take my branded sugar free sweets and you can't stop me"-ASR took over, dominating Arnavji.

"Both are talking sweetly!! Romance in air"- Buaji whispered, Anjali.

"I thought she will burn him as Ravan!"- Anjali Di whispered back.

Diwali was rocking, the dark night soon filled with colours. The sky looked like a new bride.

Same Diwali, same fourteen years of exile, same story, Arnav Singh Raizada returned.
