Part 52(Departure)

Ratna and Aman didn't know what to say they were standing like spectators. Shyam, Anjali and Aakash were in a state of shock with sudden revelations. Arnav starts to move from there he somehow can't take this. Khushi was not happy at all she wanted to cry but she had to control herself. So she again lost Arnav and this time forever. She closed her eyes and turned other side to go from there.

Arnav rukiye(Arnav stop) spoke Ayush.

Both Khushi and Arnav looks at him. Aap dono yaha baithiye(Both of you sit here).

Hum aap dono ko parakhna chahte the. Dekhna chah re the ki kya sach me aap ek dusre ko samajhe te hai. Hum khush hai Arnav. Aap dono ek dusre se pyaar to karte hi hai par hum bas yeh dekhna chahte the ki kya jitni izzat aap apne pyaar ko dete hai utni hi izzat aapke man me apne bado ke liye hai ki nahi. Aapke rishte se hume koi aitraaz nahi hai. Ayush said. (I wanted to test you both. I wanted to see if you really understand each other. I am happy Arnav. You people love each other a lot but I wanted to see if you respect your elders as much as you respect your love. I have no problem with your relationship)

Contentment approached in both of their hearts. A slight smiled adored the faces of two. Though they were still unsure of how Khushi parents will react. They had yet not agreed. Were they also testing them or they had to leave each other? Ayush was ready but they haven't yet agreed for their relationship.

But Maa, Dad Khushi spoke and everyone looks at them cause everything was dependent on their yes or no.

Khushi's parents looked at each other. Shashi gestured a yes looking at Garima.

We too have no issues over it. Yeah as you people told us your story. We were very much hurt and angry. We weren't really sure but then as we talked to you we realised that Arnav is the perfect boy we can get you married to. We parents have very little expectations from you people. We aren't against your love. But then we were sacred Khushi beta. You had turned yourself into someone so different. So quiet, introvert, anger always surfaced your face. Then your denial of marriage. So I was right you had actually someone that is why you never wanted to get married. We wanted to see if this time Arnav is sure if he would stand beside you and yes he passed the test with flying colours as he supported you so well. Garima said keeping her hand affectionately on Arnav's head.

So was everything sorted now?

We are still angry with you people came three voices in unison. (Aakash, Anjali and Shyam).

Anjali: Maa, you don't have to say anything? Ese to you always say my son never hides anything from me today you don't want to ask him anything?

Before Ratna could answer.

Ayush: She knew beforehand. Isn't it? Ratna kneels down her head nodding slightly her head in an agreement.

Arnav: Di...

Anjali: Chote, don't even speak to me you hid about this from me? I am your sibling and you never cared to share such information from me.

Arnav: Jiju...

Shyam: No, No, Chote this time Rani Sahiba is absolutely correct every time I help you when she is angry with you but this time. Leave Rani Sahiba you didn't share it with me? Your dear Jiju.

Arnav smiled he knew Shyam that was just to tease him.

Anjali: What do mean by leave Anjali? She questioned he is my younger brother I have the first right to know about it.

Shyam: But, he is more comfortable with me.

Anjali: No...

Arnav holds his ears Jiju and di please forgive your chote. He made an innocent face.

Anjali: You are so dumb Chote. Mad guy, you kept such a beautiful bhabhi away from us. She keeps her hand on Khushi's cheek. Alright, we forgive you she said smiling.

Shyam: Rani Sahiba! But still, he first asked sorry to me.

Anjali: Shyam ji and she made a face.

Both Arnav and Shyam looked at each other and started to laugh. Please Jiju stop pulling my di's leg he said as Arnav side hugged Anjali. So sorry di.

She just nodes her head accepting his sorry.

Shyam too comes forward and hugs Arnav. Congratulations Saale Sahab. He pats Arnav's back.

Aakash: Waah! Di aap to bade chupe rustom nikle. Itna kuch ho gaya aur hume khabar bhi ni hone di. Ek hum hai jo kuch chupate hi nahi hai aur ek aap ho jo kuch batate hi nahi ho. Sahi hai kyu hi baatoge mujhe to.(Wow! Di you are such a dark horse(hidden warrior). So much happened and we had no knowledge. Here we never hide anything and there you don't tell anything. Well, it is correct why would you tell me? ) He said in a low tone.

Khushi: Aakash, jyada mat bole. Bohot chize hai jo tune bhi chupayi hai. (Aakash don't speak much there are things that you too have hidden)

Aakash: Maine kuch ni chupaya mai to sab kuch bata deta hu(I didn't hide anything I always tell everything)

Khushi: Achha tujhe kya lagta hai mai notice nahi karti hu? Achha to Payal.... (Oh! What do you think I don't notice. Ok then Payal...)

Aakash cuts her in between wh..what Payal(sweat beads forming on his forehead). Where does she come from?

Khushi: Oh! Really Akki I am not so sure if you both have expressed each other what you feel but it so clearly visible. You tease her a lot, but then you care a lot too. You irritate her a lot but again you don't want to see her upset. You make her angry but at the end of the day, you are the one to apologise her and my sweet little brother when she was appreciating Arnav only if you had seen yourself in the mirror you were so much jealous. Now tell was it from us or you were hiding these feeling from yourself too?

Aakash: Di this is not fair you are always able to turn the table in your grounds. Fine I (too shy) nothing we were discussing you. You can't divert topic on me you should apologise for hiding this from me.

Khushi: Well that doesn't stand a problem bro. Your di really feels sorry for hiding it from you. (She holds her ears) but Aakash turns his face aside as if telling her that he is not interested)...Aakash sorry please just for the last time forgive your di.

Aakash: No.

Khushi: Sure?

Aakash: Arey yar di you are so clever. This is cheating. You are such an emotional blackmailer. He made a face.

Everyone laughed at the cute adorable bond the siblings shared.

Fine, I forgive you for the last time. Welcome to the family Jiju(Brother-in-law) Oh! I mean going to be Jiju(Brother -In- Law) said Aakash shaking hands with Arnav.

Everyone settled down and ordered for lunch. This is going to be their first lunch as a new family. Khushi and Arnav exchanged glances. Khushi had a bright smile on her face. Arnav gestured her to see her into her mobile. She looks into her mobile screen to find his message.

"I want to talk with you alone"

"But everyone is here now is it something important? " she texts him back.

"Yes, it is important. I will move from here you to come making an excuse"

As soon as she reads this message he gets up in the context of a call.

Khushi was still sitting wondering what excuse should she present before the family.

Just then her phone rang it was from Arnav itself.

"Hello" she speaks

"Now you have an excuse to talk like it is an official call and come fast I am standing on the other side of the roof."

"But"

"Come on Jaan"

"Okay Sir, yeah Ya ya"

"That's like my Jaan come fast"

She goes to the place he had asked acting as if she was talking on the phone. But as she reached there he wasn't there. In fact, no one was present at the place. Arnav where are you?

And just as she spoke his name he came from the back held her from the waist and lifted her up.

"Jaan Jaan Jaan I am so happy, finally we are together" and he twirled her in his arms.

"Love put me down," she said.

He slowly puts her down and hugs her tightly. She too hugs him back. She could understand what emotions he had at the moment. Her emotions were no different love, excitement, joy was surrounding them.

"What was the important work," she asked still in his arms.

"I wanted to spend some time alone with you. I can't even explain to you how I am feeling" he said.

"I know you need not to explain love," she said touching his cheek.

He touched her cheek too and advanced towards her to kiss her.

And there came a sound of cough both looked in the direction of the sound.

"Chote"

Both moves backwards feeling completely embarrassed as Ratna caught them this close.

"Well I never wanted to disturb you people but we are deciding the date for your engagement so in case you are interested," she said teasingly.

"Maa" Arnav says and Khushi runs from there. Ratna laughs.

Ayush: Humne abhi panditji se baat ki hai. Unka kehna hai 2 hafte baad ek achha mahurat hai. To hum ise final kar de? (I just had a talk with the priest. He says that after 2 weeks there is an auspicious day. So should we finalize that day for engagement?)

Arnav: Itna late?(so late)

At the same time others: Itna jaldi. (So early)

Now that was another moment for him to feel shy. Everyone looks at him.

Shyam: Badi jaldi hai saale sahab aapko. Ab itna intezaar kiya hai thora sabar aur kar lijiye.(You are in so much hurry saale sahab. You have waited so much be a bit more patient.)

Arnav: I mean umm...

Everyone laughed.

Okay, so I end it here. Waiting for your comments and vote. Do tell me how was it?
