Part 13 Whirl of thoughts...

Arnav was cursing himself. What life is this? Someone said if we lose something in our life, we will get something better than that. It's somewhat right. When he was ready to adopt a married life, his wife cheated on him. He is distressed then and now a good girl was ready to marry him but he missed her.

Arnav came downstairs, getting ready. Ratna looked at him while serving Arvind. She filled Arnav's plate also. Neither Ratna talk to him nor did she ask him anything. She behaved like she is upset. Arnav ate silently. Arvind looked at Ratna and gestured to her to talk to Arnav. Ratna nodded NO.

"Chotte, I'm going to our site as the minister is visiting the sight. You send someone to Gupta sweets to bring the ordered sweets."

"Sweets...?" he asked confusingly.

"Have you forgotten? Today is AR day... I started AR on this day, eighteen years ago..." Arvind smiled.

Yeah... how did he forget it? He is the one who always does all the arrangements for the day. Yeah... he goes to Gupta sweets to buy sweets, every year.

"Chotte..." Arvind's voice brought him out of his thoughts.

Arnav nodded ok.

"Don't forget to bring it from Gupta Sweets. I will be at AR after lunch." Arvind said.

Arnav nodded ok without reacting.

At that time, Ratna's phone rang. Arnav looked at her phone, which is close to him. It was Shashi's call.

"Chotte, pass the phone," Ratna asked him.

Arnav passed her phone.

"Shashi Bhai's call..." Ratna said to Arvind and then attended the call.

"Hello, Bhai..."

Ratna's face lit, hearing the other side.

"This is Khushi aunty..."

Ratna's excitement was not estimated.

"Khushiiiii.....you? I thought it was Shashi Bhai's call"

Arnav raised his head and looked at her without blinking.

"I came to Babuji's shop, aunty."

"Are you in the shop? Anything special?"

"No aunty... I often visit the shop..."

"By the way, how are you beat?"

Arnav wondered how his mother is showing the same excitement with Khushi even after her marriage got fixed with someone.

"I'm fine aunty. How are you?"

"Don't ask about me, beta... I can't say I'm fine..."

Arnav gulped down.

"Why aunty? Are you alright?" she asked caringly.

"Yes, beta...physically I'm fine..."

Arnav looked at her with a stern gaze.

"I want to talk to you..." Khushi said.

"Tell me beta..."

"In-person, aunty..."

"In-person...?"

"Yes, aunty...Could you come to the temple today evening?"

"Sure... I will surely come to the temple..."

Arnav finished eating yet he was sitting to know what was going on between them.

"See you, aunty..." Khushi disconnected the call but Ratna continued talking, pretending like Khushi is on the line.
