33 Teasing Father
Part 33 Teasing Father
Sagar was shocked to hear Neya's name from his father's mouth. He looked at Arnav with the same shock and gulped the Samosa that was in his mouth. Arnav smiled at his expression.
"Won't you tell me about your girlfriend?" Arnav asked seriously in a gauzy tone.
"What are you guys murmuring? Khushi asked.
Arnav looked at Khushi who was sitting on his right side. Sagar pressed Aranv's thigh who was in his left side. Arnav turned towards Sagar. He gestured to Arnav, widening his eyes, like, PLEASE DON'T TELL HER ANYTHING.
"Do you want me to be a liar to my wife?" Arnav whispered.
Sagar hiccuped. Arnav smiled at him teasingly.
"What's happening here? Mind you tell me, guys?" Khushi asked.
Arnav was supposed to say something, that's when Nisha came there,
"Khushiji could you please help me?" she asked Khushi.
"What do you want Nisha?"
"Kalpana asked me to do haldi arrangements. Could you please come with me?"
"Sure..." Khushi stood up.
"Arnav I will be back soon," she said and walked with Nisha.
Sagar huffed in relief.
"Why are you so scared of my wife? She is a nice woman, yaar" Arnav circled Sagar's shoulder.
"Please, don't do this dad. I am not used to talking to mom like this..." he sighed.
"Then get used to it..."
"Dad... Stop teasing me and tell me how you know about Neya?"
"I am a stalker... don't you know?" Arnav asked with a serious expression.
"Stalker? No way... you are lying. Tell me the truth"
"I heard you talking with Madhav about her on Kuldevi Pooja day"
"Were you there?"
Arnav nodded yes.
"Then you should have known what I feel for her..."
"That's what I am asking you... Why don't you like her?"
"Nothing is particular dad... I am not interested"
"Look, my dear son if you are expecting your wife to be like your mother, you will remain a bachelor for your whole life because there is no one like my Khushi on the earth," Arnav said with pride whereas Sagar smiled.
"Dad, I'm just studying Engineering. I don't think about anything more than that"
"Oh... don't be so good my son..."
That was when they heard,
"What kind of advice is this Arnav? Behave like a father" Aman who came there, listening to their talks teased them.
"You have no idea how good my son is... He is not at all seeing girls..." Arnav said.
"Is it?" Aman asked.
"Yes, there is a girl in his college who is dying for his one look but my son is not giving him to her. poor girl... " Arnav said feeling sad.
"Oh, are you that good?" Aman chuckled so did Arnav.
"Sagar, you don't have to be scared to get committed. Aman is there. He will make you elope with the girl and get you married to her. He is much experience in it" Arnav laughed.
Aman admired Arnav for a while.
"It seems your father had been waiting to make fun of me for twenty years... "
Arnav smiled.
"I had never seen your father so cheerful as he is now" Aman tapped Arnav's back.
"I just got regenerated, Aman. I got my Khushi back and also a so good son"
"That's why a girl dying for him... I suppose" Aman said.
"Uncle please, you too don't join him" Sagar pleaded.
"Arnav, your son is not like you."
"Yeah, be ragged my son... "
"Talk slowly dad... mom will get disappointed with you if she heard it" Sagar smiled.
"Why would I get disappointed?" Asked Khushi who just came there.
"Dad doesn't want me to be soft. He asked me to be rugged"
"Is it?" Khushi asked.
"Yeah, we talked about many things... Including Sagar's girlfriend"
Khushi looked at Sagar widening her eyes.
"Girlfriend?"
"No mom he is teasing me"
"Then who is Neya?" Arnav asked
"Who is Neya?" Khushi asked.
"She is my college mate, mom"
"But how does Arnav know about her?"
"Yeah, that is the point... ask your son," Arnav said
"What is the matter, Sagar? "
"Nothing Khushi... Sagar doesn't have anyone to take his love proposal forward" Aman said.
"Mom, don't trust him... These two are teasing me..." Sagar said hurriedly.
"Okay, I don't trust him. You tell me the matter"
"She is studying in my college mom. She proposed to me... "
Khushi looked at him wondering because she knew nothing about her. Then how did Arnav and Aman know about her?
"But how do they know about her?"
"Madhav asked me 'why I'm not accepting her proposal' when we gathered for the Kul Devi Puja. At that time, he had been standing behind us. Without noticing him, we talked about her casually. He heard our talks and now teasing me" Sagar said sadly.
"What did you talk about?" Khushi asked
"I said I am not interested... "
"He is lying," Arnav said.
"I really am said so dad"
"Once again recall what you said..."
Sagar was silent because he didn't remember what he talked about with Madhav that day.
"You have no idea how beautifully he explained about how a girlfriend should be..." Arnav said with a soft smile on his face.
"Really? What did he say?" Aman asked curiously.
Khushi also looked at him with the same curiosity.
"He said, LOVE, means TRUST. A girl should be trusted like anything. She should also trust us over anyone in this world. Love means, dignity... Pride... we should worship the girl for her character and more than anything, love must be mutual"
Khushi and Aman were looking at Sagar awestruck. Khushi could not believe her son had such thoughts about love. She smiled at him.
"I just..." Sagar said with a flushed face.
"At that time, I didn't know who the boy is but I really had a huge respect for him. when I got to know he is Khushi's son, I felt so jealous" Arnav smiled.
"Now?"
"Now, my son is my pride," Arnav said.
Sagar smiled. Arnav caressed his hair.
"Mom, I will see what Madhav is doing" Sagar left the place.
"He is shy," Khushi said.
"So sweet of him," Aman said.
"Shall I ask you something?" Khushi asked Aman.
Aman and Arnav looked at each other.
"What happened to Lavanya?" Khushi asked.
Aman blinked his eyes slowly and said nothing.
"Lavanya's father didn't want to give her hand to Aman as he got beaten up in jail..."
"You mean?"
"Yes... that he did for us. Her father arranged her marriage secretly and finished it hurriedly. He missed the girl who he loved" Arnav said regretfully.
"Leave it Arnav... I think, she did not want to marry me"
"What do you mean, Aman?"
"If she had wanted to marry me, she would have fought with her family or she could have come out of her house... but she didn't..."
"She might have been in a tough situation," Khushi said.
"I don't think there could be a toughest situation than what you faced, Khushi," Aman said.
Khushi was silent.
"Yet, you didn't give up. You lived with Arnav's memory and raised a child. It's all about the person, Khushi. Arnav is lucky to get such a wife" Aman said and Khushi felt pain in it.
Khushi looked at Arnav. she understood why Arnav wanted to give his contribution to raising Sanjay. Because of them, Aman lost his love. To compensate for it, Arnav would like to give his helping hand to Aman. She felt so proud of their friendship.
