Part 48 The truth about Khushi

Khushi was suffocating between mother and son. They were taunting and teasing one another like friends. That was an unknown side of Arnav. Though Shashi told her many times about Arnav's nature this is the first time she witnessed it in front of her eyes.

On the other hand, Ratna was hoping inwardly in happiness, seeing her son fun-loving. This was what she wanted. This was how she wanted to see him. All cheerful and humorous...just like the old days. Though she tried to bring him out she didn't believe it to happen soon...that too to this extent.

No wonder the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were wondered. How do they know Arnav was also waiting for the right time to express his feelings? He confessed his feelings when he got the chance without missing them.

They saw Arvind coming all tensed. The reason for his tension was Ratna told him everything that happened in RM over the phone. So, he rushed to RM. He stood, looking at them with confusion as they were smiling.

*Are you guys alright?* He asked.

*Yeah... I have solved the problem...* Ratna said proudly.

*You...? Really...?* Arnav asked.

*Then who solved it?* Ratna questioned him.

*It's me... you are a problem creator. You made my wife away from me... it was me, who brought her back to my room...* He argued.

Arvind raised his eyebrows getting amazed. Was Arnav talking about all this? He saw Khushi suppressing her smile.

*I created the problem to solve the problem. If I would not create the problem, you would have continued being DUMB...* she pulled his leg.

Arnav was about to say something,

*Wait... hold on...what's happening here? I came running, thinking something... But opposite to what is happening here...* Arvind asked.

All three smiled. He came to Arnav and hugged him emotionally.

*I'm so happy to see you in your real nature, Chotte...*

Arnav smiled touching his back.

*Thank your Bahu. She is the one who dragged the old Arnav from the damn shell of his past...* Ratna said.

Breaking the hug, Arvind touched Khushi's head thankfully. Khushi was awkward to even handling the situation. Arnav smiled at her contently.

They were in the living room together. Arvind couldn't believe his son's utter change. Khushi had special qualities in her. Thanks to Khushi... Thanks to Shashi for giving his daughter's hand to Arnav. He thanked inwardly... wholeheartedly...

Khushi was stealing Arnav's glance whereas Arnav was daringly looking at her without any damn hesitation. That made Khushi wonder because she didn't imagine this level of change in him. Who could expect the man who always looked calm would change wholly?

All of them had dinner chitchatting.

*Ratna, Manorama called me. She said you didn't attend her call.* Arvind said.

*I kept my phone in our room. What did she say?*

*She said, she is not coming today...*

* Then? *

*She will come after two days as Manohar's friend requested them to stay with his family for two more days.*

*oh...*

After having dinner, they got back to their particular rooms.

That was a new phase of their relationship. Both of them were suffocated a little.
