19 Arnav's Request
Part 19 Arnav′s Request
Khushi stood, getting embarrassed whereas Shali and Shamli controlled their laughter. Raizsdas looked at Khushi smiling and Lavanya giggled at her.
"I think Khushi wants to play Holi today as she was not here with us when we celebrated Holi," Manorama said.
People chuckled, seeing Khushi's color-filled face.
*Is it, Khushi? * Lavanya asked her teasingly.
Arnav smirked seeing Khushi rushing to their room smiling.
"Thank God, Khushiji became normal" Anjali said happily.
Raizadas nodded yes getting relieved.
"Thanks to Shali and Shamli," Lavanya said.
They smiled proudly.
"Khushiji used to be with children. That's why she became flexible with children" Anjali said.
"Be careful... She became flexible doesn't mean she is fine with what happened today morning. It should not happen again" Manorama said.
Raizadas looked at one another affirmatively. Arnav headed to his room smirking. Somehow, his plan worked. He saw Khushi coming out of the washroom, washing her color-filled face. She smiled at Arnav with a cute blush.
*Seems like, someone is happy with her new friend...* he said smilingly.
*Yes, Arnavji* she said happily.
*You know what...*
*What? * Khushi asked.
*They are also happy to get a friend like you* Arnav said.
Khushi's smile broadened. Arnav admired her smile.
*I want to talk to you about something very important, Arnavji* she said hesitatingly.
*Tell me*
*Could you help me? * she asked.
*I will help you* Arnav said without thinking that made Khushi wonder.
*But, I have not told you what help I want from you... * She said.
*You want me to help your home children on the behalf of. Your Baba should think I'm the one who is helping them and he should not know how you earned the money... right? *
Khushi blinked her eyes slowly, like, how do you know? Arnav smiled, seeing her facial expression.
*It's not rocket science... Your Baba is not ready to accept any favor from you. So, it's obvious if you expect my help* he said.
*Will you help me? * she asked delightedly.
*I will help you but with one condition* he stopped and looked at her.
*Condition? What's that? * she frowned.
*You should consider what Baba said* there was no smile on his face when he said.
*What? *
*You should get settled in your life* he said.
Khushi was shocked as she didn't expect this from Arnav.
*As a friend, I too want you to settle down in your life, Khushi* he requested.
*Don't you know my mind, Arnavji? *
*I know... you wanted to help the children. You wanted to give them one lack per month but now, you are going to give them one crore. That amount is enough for them to lead a peaceful life. You are going to give the amount you didn't even expect. Then why not settle down in life with someone? *
*People have a lot of expectations from their partners, Arnavji. In the beginning, they may accept me but as time passed they may get dissatisfied as I have no one. It will definitely make me feel low because the truth can never be modified... the truth is I'm an orphan*
*What if you will get a person who understands you? What if he stands for you? *
*Who will understand me Arnavji? From where could I find such a person? *
*He may be a well-known person to you... you might have not understood him...* Arnav said.
Khushi became thoughtful. The much she knew, there was no one comes in the list as Arnav said. Everyone she knew was selfish and so fond of money. She nodded no.
*there is no one like that Arnavji. Please don't think too much about me... let me go with a flow* she was about to go,
*Khushi...* Arnav stopped her.
She looked at him.
*Do you remember what you said about your HEART when I saved you from Deepak? * he asked.
*About my heart? What's that? *
*You said you have a very worst heart. It expects the same favor all the time if it gets it from someone...* he reminded her.
*Oh... that one... it is true...* she chuckled.
Arnav nodded his head smilingly said nothing.
*But why do you ask me about it all of a sudden? *
Arnav nodded No and left the place leaving Khushi with confusion. She has no idea why Arnav reminded her about her own statement. Is there something she couldn't understand? She shrugged the thought off when Anjali came to their room. Khushi smiled at her.
*Khushiji... are you alright? * Anjali asked.
Khushi nodded yes.
*I'm really sorry, Khushiji* She said repenting.
*You no need to say sorry for the mistake you had not done*
*Thank you so much, for understanding us*
Khushi smiled.
*Shali and Shamli are so happy as you accepted them as your friends* she said cheerfully.
*They are so sweet...*
*Naughty too...* Anjali chuckled.
*Where are they? *
*Downstairs...*
* Let's go* Khushi said.
Anjali nodded ok and they came downstairs.
Khushi saw an old age woman sitting in the living room with Raizadas. She was Sandhya, Nani's friend. Shyam and Lavanya were also there. Nani was talking to Sandhya about none other than Khushi... correction... not talking but praising Khushi.
*She is a nice girl... do you know how she respects elders? Do you know how tasty she cooks...! Our family members didn't get enough of her handmade food yesterday. She cooked Aloo-Gobi for lunch yesterday. We didn't expect her dexterity would be so catchy* Nani said to the woman.
Shyam rolled his eyes as he couldn't tolerate the LIE told by Nani. He knew Khushi didn't cook anything yesterday. Nani didn't want Sandhya to think low about Khushi. So, she lied.
Nani smiled, seeing Khushi coming with Anjali.
*Khushi bitiya, she is Sandhya, my friend* Nani introduced her to Khushi.
Khushi touched Sandya's feet to get her blessings.
*Be happy with Arnav* Sandhya blessed Khushi.
Khushi smiled at her awkwardly. Shyam gestured something to Sandhya and she understood what he said.
*Your in-laws said that you cook well...* Sandhya said.
Khushi looked at Nani awfully. She didn't expect Nani would make her feel great.
*I would like to taste your dexterity. Could you prepare it for me now? * Sandhya asked and Shyam spilled a winning smirk.
Nani and others got horrified. What will Khushi do now? She was brought up in a home. There was no chance for her to learn cooking. Then how does she know cooking? Nani cursed herself for exaggerating about Khushi. She should not have lied to Sandhya about her cooking skill. She felt bad for Khushi.
*Of course, she would cook for you, aunty* Shyam said, adding to it. he wanted Khushi to get humiliated in front of Sandhya.
Khushi looked at Lavanya who blinked her eyes and gestured her to go ahead. Khushi smiled at her because Aloo-gobi was also one of the dishes Lavanya taught her.

Khushi's Question
Khushi went to the kitchen to prepare Aloo-Gobi. Shyam gestured to Sandhya to go to the kitchen. Shali noticed it and pouted at Shamli. Shamli asked her raising her brows. Shali whispered to Shamli that what Shyam did. Shamli also glared at Shyam pouting. They rushed to the kitchen to see what happens there.
