61 YES......
Part61
Anjali was dumbfounded because "Say yes" was uttered by Shali. Did Aman really get their permission? And she was more surprised as Shali spoke to her. Anjali looked at Arnav who was looking at her. She rushed to him and about to touch his feet, in apologizing manner. Arnav stopped her holding her shoulders.
Arnav: Di, please...
Anjali (with joining hands): I'm sorry Chotte... please forgive me....
Arnav (gulping): let's forget it Di...
Anjali (looking at Khushi): Thank you for everything Khushiji...
Khushi: We always want your happiness Anjaliji...
Arnav: Haan Di ... but I won't compel you for anything. .. I just want you to be happy (pause) and Aman also...
Shali: Haan... he will drop me in the school... (Looking at Aman) hai na?
Aman nodded yes smilingly and looked at Anjali.
Arnav: Take your time...
Anjali nodded her head affirmatively.
Khushi: Shalu, shall we go?
Before Shali said anything,
Aman: let her be here. What say Shalu?
Shali: shall I stay here?
She asked Arnav.
Arnav: Sure... (looking at Aman) take care of her.
Aman nodded yes. Arnav and Khushi took their leave.
Aman(looking at Shali): What will we do?
Shali: take me to somewhere.
Anjali's surprise was not estimated. Shali won't be clingy with anyone so freely. Don't know how Aman achieved it.
Aman: What about your Mom?
Shali: Will you join us?
Anjali was suffocating like hell. She didn't know either she should go with them or not. She saw Shali's face reaction changing sadly.
Aman: You can decide what you want. But now, come for Shali...
They saw Lavanya coming.
Shali: LA mami, you too come with us.
Lavanya's eyes popped out hearing MAMI. She grinned at Aman awkwardly and nodded ok at Shali.
Shali: See, La Mami also coming. You too come.
Anjali nodded ok making her hop. Aman huffed in relief. Lavanya and Anjali took back seats whereas Shali took seat beside Aman. Shali and Aman were busy questioning each other and also answering. Aman stopped the car near a park where there were a lot of children playing. Shali rushed to the swing and started playing. After a while, she went to the slide and played. All the time, Aman was with her. Anjali was sitting on the bench observing her daughter. Children can be satisfied very easily. Their world is different. They will celebrate the one who enters into their world. That's what happening here. Aman utilized the chance to take place in Shali's heart which Shyam had never minded to do.
Their "park date" got finished with ice creams. They got back home. Shali was watching cartoons on TV in the living room. Anjali was worried, will Aman be the same like this forever? Aman read her expression and smiled. Some questions should be answered only through the action.
RM
Arnav was laying on the bed thinking about Aman. Khushi came to him and tapped his nose making him flinch.
Khushi: What so deep thinking?
Arnav: Aman....
Khushi: Mmm...
Arnav: How didn't I miss to notice that he loves Di? How careless I was...?
Khushi: It's not carelessness. You would not have expected the possibility.
Arnav nodded yes pulling her on his chest.
Arnav: Will they be happy?
Khushi: They will... And Shali also. Aman bhai and Anjaliji both will take care of Shali too.
Arnav: I didn't expect Shali will say YES so easily. I thought she will get angry.
Khushi: It might have happened if we would have spoken to her about remarriage directly.
Arnav: Yeah... you are right. (with his lopsided smile) Don't you think, you are getting very tricky?
Khushi: It was about Shali. So, I handled it. Don't expect the same in everything. I can't.
Arnav: Maybe.
Khushi (drawing circles on his chest): What about chottu?
Arnav looked at her bewildered.
Khushi: What?
Arnav: Are you serious?
Khushi (pouting): Weren't you?
Arnav: you haven't completed your college yet. Remember?
Khushi: Then why did you ask me?
Arnav: Just for fun...
Khushi: Is it fun?
Arnav: Then what? How could a baby give birth to Baby?
Khushi: Am I a baby?
Arnav: Aren't you?
Khushi: Then keep distance from me. Don't you dare make love with a baby.
She laid turning opposite side. Arnav kissed her cheek from behind.
Khushi: Don't kiss me.
Arnav: why?
Khushi: you said I'm Baby.
Arnav: Baby can't be kissed....?
Khushi was tongue-tied.
Arnav: What?
Khushi: yes...
Arnav: That's it.
Arnav pressed his lips on her cheek. He flipped her towards him and kissed another cheek... eyes... earlobe... she clutched his T-shirt something started happening inside her.
Arnav: Do you really want baby?
Khushi nodded yes...
Arnav: After one year... ok?
Khushi pouted.
Arnav (chuckling): I really can't understand how you will manage to bring our child up. Poor my child...
Khushi punched his chest making him laugh.
Khushi: Stop laughing....
Arnav: It seems, you are in a hurry?
He winked.
Khushi slapped him pouting. Suddenly, Khushi became silent.
Arnav: What happened?
Khushi: Arnavji.... what shali would be doing?
Arnav: I don't have any idea about Shali but Aman would be trying hard to make Shali flat.
He laughed so did Khushi.
Khushi: Shall we call them?
Arnav: Tomorrow morning.
Khushi: No, Now. Let me call Lavanya...
She extended to take her phone, Arnav clutched her hand and stopped.
Arnav: Here, your husband is eagerly waiting for YOU and you are worried about Shali? This is why I said you are a kid. No matter how cleverly you think about the problems. But the kid inside you never fails to amaze me.
Khushi: No Arnavji... actually what I thought is....
Arnav closed her mouth with his palm. Khushi blinked her popped out eyes.
Arnav: Shut up... not one more word....
He replaced his mouth with his palm. After that, no wards needed there. Khushi sensed, Arnav so relaxed. Why not, almost all the problems around him got solved.
Next Morning
Shali was sleeping peacefully. Anjali was staring at her sitting on the bed. She wanted Aman to sleep with them last night. Anjali faced a tough time, making her understand. Without any choice left, Aman pretend like sleeping with her and left to his room after she slept. Anjali saw her waking up. She smiled at Shali. Shali sat on the bed.
Shali: Where is he?
Anjali: He went to get fresh...
Shali: Amma, will you marry him na?
Anjali got thunderstruck by her direct hit. Of course, this is how children would be... they don't know beating around the bush. They heard "She will"
Shali smiled at Aman who is standing at the doorstep. Anjali bowed down. Aman came and sat beside Shali.
Shali: Say YES Mumma...
Anjali nodded YES.
Shali(shouting): Yessssss...
She hugged Aman happily who was looking at Anjali shockingly.
Shali: I want to tell Maama... give me your phone.
Aman gave the phone and Shali dialed Arnav's number. Arnav received it.
Arnav: Yeah, Aman...
Shali: Maama... Mumma, agreed for marriage....yheeeeee
Arnav was speechless. He couldn't know either he should believe it or not. Khushi got confused seeing him not talking but staring at her. She took the mobile from his hand and spoke.
Khushi: Hello...
Shali: Maami.... Mumma said YES to marriage.....
Khushi: Woooow ohhhhh hhhhoooooo
She hopped on Arnav and kissed his cheek.
Khushi: Really? When?
Shali: Just now.... I will come to RM. Okkkkk?
Khushi: OK.
They cut the call. Khushi rushed out to say every one the matter. Arnav sat on the bed feeling relieved. After here, he doesn't have to bother about Anjali and Shali. Aman is there for them. He will be taking care of them more than he does. He smiled.
Raizadas also were happy with the news. At last, everything sorted out. Arnav will be tension free. That's what they wanted the most.
......
Aman: Shalu, go and take bath.
Shalu: Ok... we will go to RM.
Aman: Yup.
She went to the washroom.
Aman sat there silently, looking at Anjali.
Anjali: Please don't mistake me Aman. I have no guts to say NO to Shali. I don't know whether I will be a good wife....
Aman (cutting her): I can understand. I know it's not easy to switch a relationship. You can take your own time. I can wait. It's not new to me. I never thought I will get all these in my life. TIME is a good healing medicine. It can heal any deep wound. Hope it works in our matter too. Thank you for accepting me in your life. I promise I will be a good friend more than a husband. You can lean on my shoulder... anytime.
He left the room smilingly. Anjali was awestruck. How did she miss the gestures of him in the past? How would her life have been if she had married him? She would be the owner of her Chotte's everlasting love. She won't become a backstabber. She won't get a name selfish. Just because of her one wrong decision changed her life upside down. She sighed. What's the use of thinking of those? It's too late.
To be continued.....
