"Yes.. Come in Khushi.."

"Sir, Atul told me you were asking for me??"

"Yes, Sit. We will have some talk.."

Khushi took her seat, Arindam Rawat started talking to Khushi their business until they heard another knock. Arindam looked up and smiled..

"There you are Adi.. I have been waiting for you since long.."

The young man shared a warm hug with Arindam Roy..

"And let me meet you with Khushi who would be actually assist you with that plan of yours.."

Khushi gave a confusion look hearing this.. but stopped herself not asking further.. The man turned around..

"Hi Khushi.. Glad to meet you.."

"Aditya Roy!!"

A wide smile came across on Khushi's lips meeting the person.. One of the finest director from Hindi cinema, a critically acclaimed one even at this young age!! He was just 35, but age was just a number for this man.

********************

It was evening. Arnav was a bit late that evening. He had called and informed the same to Khushi who said she would manage on her own. Unlocking the door when Arnav entered found guests at his place. Unexpected guests may be meeting them he knew something would twist in heart. He wanted to save his heart.His feet slowly started decreasing the speed as he faced the guests.. Anjali's in'laws were there, Aarav and Anita were present sitting with them. Then his eyes fell on Khushi who reached there with some beverages and snacks. Sensing him near by, Khushi looked up while placing the tray and her eyes fell on him!!

Their eye contact did not last long, as they had people around.

There was a bit of awkwardness present there during that meet between families. Anita and Mrs.Singhania passed smile at each other, Aarv tried to ease the situation when Khushi reached as well as Arnav..

"Err.. Mr.Singhania.. Why don't you take these chips?? These are baked not deep fried, will not impact your health that much.."

While joining his friend, Mr.Singhania too continued..

"Sure.. Finally I'm allowed to taste some junk food after a long.. My wife hardly allows me.."

"I must say.. wives are very strict when it comes to husband's diet.. They as if are waiting for this chance to put a full stop on our diet!!", added Aarav getting a glare from Anita.. but he gave a sheepish smile.

Aarav and Mr.Singhania shared laugh seeing their wive's expression as if to strangle them. Khushi could not help but smile a little and same happened with Arnav.

"Arnav, come.. Have some tea young man!!", Mr.Singania called out for him.

Arnav gave a look to Khushi whose smile was slowly fading may be worrying herself for the upcoming conversation. Neither of them was interested the conversation to take unwanted turn.

Mrs.Singhania called out Khushi, indicating the vacant place beside her..

"I'm really angry with you Mrs.Raizada.. You stole a beautiful girl for your son ditching us..", though Mrs.Singhania said teasingly but Anita felt a bit sad. Khushi noticed her Maa's expression..

"I'm so sorry Mrs.Singhania..", Anita tried to apologize, while Arnav did not like this idea that his mother was saying sorry for something that was caused by him.. He felt low..

Laughing a bit Mrs.Singhania squeezed Anita's hand..

"Anita.. Don't be sorry at all.. Is not Arnav like my son..like Karan and Krishna?? So technically Khushi is still my daughter-in-law.. It's just that her sasural address changed.. That's it.. And I'll be glad if you consider same.. Let's not spoil our relationship because of this reason..", Mrs.Singhania added..

Mr.Singhania spoke, "Yes. Mrs.Raizada.. Let's not think these and invite devil to our mind.. We all know marriage is made in heaven.. (Anita nodded her head, he continued..) And now it's your task to find a girl for Krishna.. I'm tired with these young minds now.."

He joked.

"We agree with you Mr.Singhania..", Aarav added.

"Then for this new celebration we would like to invite four of you at our place for dinner.. Please don't deny.", Mr.Singhiania added after sharing a look with his wife. She blinked her eyes making her wife smile warmly.

***********************

"I understand Sir, but practically I have never done something like this before.. I have no experienced on this field. Stage designing and all..."

She waited to hear from other side..

" But Sir.. Mr.Roy was also telling they have a very short period for it.. Having no experience team and this short time.. (She was stopped again..)

This was what Arnav heard when he came out after getting freshen up. He silently took his laptop and came to bed!! Spreading his legs on bed, he sat relaxing for a few minutes before taking the laptop.. Right then his phone rang, he found it was from Anjali. Duo talked for sometime, then Anjali asked her brother to pass the phone to Khushi.. Arnav followed his eyes and found Khushi talking over phone by poolside.. Conveying same to Anjali, he promised to connect once Khushi come inside..

"Di was asking for you..", Khushi looked up hearing him. Nodding her head, she sat on bed on her side leaning against the backrest!!

"Hi Di..", Khushi conversed for sometime like their regular chat.

"Yes.. I know. Uncle Aunty were mentioning dinner plan..", though her voice was low taking into consideration Arnav was working but he was quick to pick that.. Suddenly It started raining outside.. So she could not move out to talk..He did not interfere, Khushi talked for more minutes before hanging up..

"Tum jaa rahi ho??"

"Kahan??"

"Dinner ke liye.. To Singhania's!!"

"I thought we all are going Arnav.. Tum nehi jaa rahe ho??"

"Nehi.."
