At the same time arnav walked inside , he stood beside he when he heard her muttering he was shocked seeing her in hotel .
He was in hotel with his family tho he joined late bcz of work but seeing khushi again he was kind surprised, he noticed her she was looking frustrated dressed in blue demins and her cute angry pout. .before he would think what she was doing khushi walked straight hugging someone.
Seeing her whole family , he was perplexed and joined his family were they sat little away.
"Baba"khushi rushed towards the table gaining everyone attention were two family's sat in family dinning table all smiling faces.

"Yeh aunty, I'm damm hungry too" khushi said .
All the places were occupied already , the one which was left was beside karan who was steeling glance at every now and then.
With no other option , khushi sat beside karan smiling at all .
_________________________________________________
The raizarda family was having gala time , enjoying family time .arnav joining brought double happiness to them .arnav sat beside his mama ..they sat away from gupta family but he can clearly see khushi who sat opposite to him .Not giving any doubt of suspense , arnav joined in family conversation. Making sure he glance at her every now and then.
__________________________________________________
mr and Mrs metha kept asking khushi about her London stay and her future plans , khushi faking sweet smile , answered in one word or sentence, mentally praying to god to send food soon , for 2 reasons one she was hell hungry and other one bcz the person sitting beside was blushing looking at her ..khushi found it funny controlling her laugh ..she played fake too well .
Finally the dinner was served " I can die for such delicious food , my India is best" khushi muttered inwardly thanking all starts she begin eating her dinner happily and she was enjoying typically India spicy food .
The elders were talking among themeselves, her Di and her jijaji were ear to ear speaking all time smiling blushing whatnot ...karan begin his usually conversation with khushi , khushi kept nodding to whatever he was saving with big smile on her face ..but her entire attention was on food .
Tho karan found it strange , he asked her few questions, but all he got back was Nod and big smile from khushi. He just sat staring at in suspense.
Feeling his gazes on her , removing her wireless earphones khushi asked him " did u say something karan bhaiya"khushi asked raising her eyebrow.
For karan it would be biggest insult when khushi said bhaiya and above that from last 20mins he was only talking and khushi dint hear anything what he spoke , this was really insult but he kept quite nodding no he focused on food , avoiding in her .
Khushi was controlling her laugh , when she saw Payal who saw entire sense gave her angry glare ."blowing her head down, she being having her dinner peacefully. .
__________________________________________________
Arnav other hand who saw the sense had similar smile like khushi had , he controlled his laugh too he dint know what that stranger was talking to khushi but by khushi gesture he knew she was least bothered to talk to him
_________________________________________________
"Did u just say him bhaiya "Mrs metha asked as she heard what khushi spoke to karan , she got angry and felt disappointed.
" yes aunty any problem if I call him bhaiya"khushi asked in her best innocent voice .
Giving look to Mr metha "nothing beta just asked" Mrs metha said feeling disappointed hearing what khushi said
"Actually the thing is I don't have brothers na so I felt nice with karan bhaiya so called him and even bhaiya will also be happiest if I call him bhaiya na after all we all connected , right aunty khushi said making poor face .
"And also till today Di was only my big brother , small brother , big sister , she was all 50shades of grey to me , after all di loves me unconditional na , right Di" khushi said winking at Payal.
" hmm yes khushi I think food is getting cold ,eat yours dinner 1st then we will talk "Payal said faking smile to khushi.
"See aunty my Di cares for me so much" khushi said dramatically.
"I love u Di I love u "khushi said and being to eat her dinner showing how happy and obitient she is .
Mr and Mrs metha who's mood was already off just faked smile .yash and karuna were smilin.garami Nd shashi were in surprised seeing over loaded love of both sisters but both knew there kids were faking it
______________________________________________
After dinner all the youngers excused and walked to pool area so that payal and yash can spend time and elders sat back talking about marriage preparation. Khushi who was least bothered walked to washroom to give updates to preeti.
________________________________________________
Mr and Mrs metha finally opened the topic which they wished to talk from long time
"Shashi ji, don't take me wrong , Khushi Is such a lovely girl, we liked her a lot and and we thought why not we can match Khushi with karan"mr metha said hestatiely
Garmai was somewere hoping for this and she was more then happy but Shashi was shocked masking his surprise face.
"I'm sorry to say Mr metha "Shashi said laughing " I can't afford to send my both daughters at same time and nor I'm in hurry with Khushi "Shashi said just like how typical father reacts
" we understand yours concern Shashi ji but keeping in mind as both are pretty young we can wait for another 2 years then let both karan and Khushi get engaged "Mrs metha said .
" u both made me speechless Mr metha"shashi said smiling.
" we know Shashi ji, now both family's know each other and more over , Khushi we liked her too , just is that we can't lose just opportunity knowing as we know each other"mr metha said .
" I'm really sorry Mr metha I can't help u , regarding Khushi she is just back from London and to be honest we hardly spent time with her with payal marriage preparation and I always say just like payal even Khushi has right to choose partner , payal case is different it's there love marriage, I simply can't tell Khushi about this knowing well she is not prepared for marriage she is still kid herself and young too but yes I feel this is not right time for anything nor I'll worry Khushi with this topic , and even I'm not prepared to marry off my other daughter so soon"
"We are sorry Mr metha if u hurt u " Shashi said
"That's okie Shashi ji , we understand yours concern , and who are we to write there fate it's already writen by god and yes I agree with u , let's forgot this topic here itself and concrete on payal and yash wedding"mr metha said

After talking to preeti Khushi walked out of washroom lost In her own world ...nodding her head on music beta as she had connected her phone to earphones. She was not looking what was ahead there she banged herself to someone els. Or it was arnav
Arnav came out after dinner as he got important call , he was facing to wall when he felt someone banged to him .
Both got collabed and fell on floor
"Can't u see and walk , look because of u I fell"khushi said getting up dusting her pants looking down.

Arnav brust out laughing seeing her scared face
Not having any idea why she was she so sacred but now he knew one weakness of her she is scared to face him and he will use it fully.

Controlling his laugh" nothing jijaji something funny "he said laughing again.
"Aree tell na why u laughing"shyam said .
"Nothing jijaji u won't understand" arnav said getting back to normal.

__________________________________________________
Getting settled at backseat beside her mother hugging her arm
"Mumma I miss u "khushi said all the sudden.
" I'm always there bacha, now I'm here with u , u not going anywhere soon" Garmai said taking her in her arms.
" least now show some love to yours other daughter Mumma , even di is getting married least now I deserve yours attention" khushi said
Feeling warm in her mother arms .While shashi had understanding smile on his face
" I love u khushi , I always do , I'm always by yours side bacha" Garmai said caring her hair .
" u were never my side , it's always di for u , when I needed you my side in my worst situation I dint had my mother my side it was always baba or anji or preeti " khushi told without hesitation like always .shashi and Garmai eyes met understanding what there daughter was trying to say .
"Sometimes I wonder , I feel like i m adopted " khushi said hiding her face in her mother soft body. Hiding her own tears.
"Khushi"shashi said getting worried for his daughter.
Garmai was blank at her own daughter confession , she never thought khushi would think like this , she always thought khushi as strong .its ture she is over Concerned with payal but that don't means she don't love khushi .she loves her .But after khushi confession she was having that doubt and negative feeling that that she did injustice with her other daughter.
"i m fine baba, I got over boarded , I'm good now "khushi said getting apart from Garmai embrace sitting straight.
Before anyone could continue the heated conversation payal got inside car setting beside khushi
"What happened why all turned so silent suddenly"
"We were waiting for u "khushi said taking out her phone playing candy crush game to divert her mind from going emotional.
Arnav presence in hotel and past recall made her emotional and weak , which lead to some sant confession for her mother , which was obviously true .
Driver drived the car out of hotel gates .
