39 Surprise
Part 35 Surprise
The next morning 4'o clock
Arnav and Khushi were ready to go to Nainital but Anjali was not there.
"Arnavji, where is Anjaliji?" Khushi asked looking here and there in a searching manner.
"She is not coming with us" Arnav said simply.
"But why?" disappointment sounded in her tone.
"She is going with Nani and Mami somewhere" Arnav said.
"Oh..." she said unhappily.
"What happened, Khushi?" Arnav asked.
Khushi nodded no plastering a smile. She thought she can take Anjali to her house and introduce her to her parents. So that, her parents would start trusting Arnav's words. Shashi and Garima will surely ask about Raizadas when they go to Nainital. They would expect Raizadas to visit Nainital. Being parents of a girl, it's obvious if they expect the first STEP from the Groom's side.
"Shall we go, Khushi?" Arnav asked.
Khushi nodded ok and followed Arnav. They got into the car and buckled them with the seatbelts. The early morning road of Delhi didn't have a traffic problem. So, Arnav geared the car up. That's why he started from Delhi early in the morning. He can drive the car freely if he crossed Delhi before it gets traffic flow.
"I thought Nanne would like to come to Nainital with us," Khushi said.
"I have been assigned an important job for him," Arnav said.
"Oh..."
"Won't you ask me what work I assigned for him?" Arnav asked her.
"You said it's an important work... what's there to question you about it?"
"Don't you want to know what the important work is?" he asked.
"it's not necessary to ask you anything. You will let me know if it's something I should know" She said smiling.
Arnav also smiled. Khushi and NK are same. Though they are close to him they don't take advantage of him and the respect and trust they are showing in him is something mindboggling. Arnav smiled.
Khushi slowly started, talking.
"Arnavji... how is Sheetalji?"
Arnav got struck. What would he tell about SheetalJI?
"SheetalJI would be fine... what happened to her?" he asked as if he knew nothing.
"Don't you know where she is?" she asked him hesitatingly.
"I know," Arnav said.
Khushi was looking at him, expecting him to complete the sentence.
"Didn't you say, I will tell you if I want you to know about something?" he cornered her wither own words.
Khushi nodded yes.
"I don't think you should know about her," Arnav said, not looking at her.
"Would you punish her?" she asked nervously.
"Would I forgive her?" he asked without answering her question.
"No... I didn't mean it. Shyamji will get upset with you..."
"Let him be upset..." he said rigidly.
"But, Arnavji..."
"Khushi, I'm ready to face anything regarding... ok?"
"What about Anjaliji?"
Arnav was silently concentrating on the road. Khushi sat straight not wanting to trouble him more. It's enough as she put something in his mind what she wanted to. But...she didn't expect, Arnav spoke.
"I hope Di won't be stupid. She stood for Shyam when she trusted him... when she didn't know about him because she thought she should not lose him but now, she got to know about him and how selfish he is... Still, if she stands for him, she will lose her brother too" Arnav said harshly.
Khushi gulped down hard, looking at him.
"She should know what's right and wrong, Khushi. I don't want her to do the same mistake again and again."
After that, Khushi didn't talk about Anjali, Shyam, and Sheetal because she got to know his stands in the matter and also how angry he is.
Nainital
They reached Nainital. Khushi felt something new even though Nainital was her born place.
"Arnavji, could you lower the window down?" she requested him.
Arnav nodded yes and lowered the window after turning off the AC. Khushi peeped out of the car to feel the chilling wind. Arnav drove the car smilingly. He stopped the car in front of Shashi's Ayurveda Clinic. In no time, Khushi rushed in and hugged Garima.
"How are you Amma?" she asked with concern.
"We are so good just like you" Garima smiled.
"I missed you a lot..."
"We too... where is Arnav bituwa?"
"She left me in the middle of the road to meet you, aunty" Arnav came, saying that.
Khushi pouted whereas Garima laughed.
"How are you, Arnav beta?"
"I'm fine aunty"
"I hope you are not facing any problem with your leg and hand..."
"No... nothing... aunty"
Garima nodded ok.
"Where is uncle?"
"He is testing a patient. Will come in a few minutes" Garima said.
Arnav gave a look to the bed in which he had been admitted. He smiled inwardly.
"what would you like to have, Arnav beta? Coffee or tea?" Garima asked.
"I would like to have only Khushi's special MUSH" Arnav chuckled.
Garima laughed whereas Khushi smiled awkwardly.
"Khushi would not have thought when she fought with you for the mush that one day she will give herself to you" Garima laughed
Whereas our love birds stayed in an eye lock for a few seconds with an adorable smile.
"Are you guys planning not to come inside? Let's go..." Garima said.
"But, on condition..." Arnav said.
"What condition?"
"I will be sitting on my bed..."
Garima laughed.
"Why Arnav beta, it seems you liked the bed a lot..."
"Of course, it gave me rebirth... it gave me LIFE," he said looking at Khushi who blushed looking down.
That's when they heard,
"How are you Arnav?" from Shashi.
Arnav rushed to him and shook hands with him. Shashi pattered his back with a smile.
"I'm fine, uncle. How are you?"
"Doing good... I got all the saplings sent by you and also the money to plant them. Thank you so much, Arnav"
"What plants?" Khushi asked.
Shashi and Arnav looked at her with a smile.
"Arnav promised me to send one lakh tree saplings and I heard him started, planting trees in Delhi too"
She looked at him wondering.
"One lakh saplings?" Khushi asked widening her eyes.
"That's the first good task I have ever done in my life" Arnav smiled.
"How is Nanne?" Shashi asked.
"He is fine, uncle... will come here soon"
Khushi looked at him frowning. Didn't he say he had given Nanne important work to do? Is he planning something secretly? But what's that? Khushi was thinking about it but she couldn't understand anything.
That's when they heard the noise of a car. Arnav read Khushi's expression who didn't react to it. Arnav walked out and Shashi followed him. Khushi jerked hearing Arnav telling Shashi,
"They are my family members"
She rushed out and saw Raizadas getting down from the car all smilingly.
To be continued...
