Part 16 Birthday Girl

Khushi came to the kitchen with the empty cups and washed them.

"You just leave it, Khushiji... I will wash it" HP said.

"That's ok, Hari Prakashji..." Khushi left the kitchen, keeping the cups on the stand.

She saw Nani sitting in the living room. Khushi also sat with her. Arnav came there and took the newspaper in his hand and started reading it... or, he might be pretending to read. That wondered Nani. She was amazed when he stole Khushi's glance two or three times. That looked totally new to her.

"By the way, Khushi bitiya, tell me about the Groom family," Nani asked deliberately.

"He is the only son of his patents, Naniji. His mother looks sweet and his father is so jovial..." Khushi said casually.

"Your sister must have liked them, right?"

"Very much..."

"What about the Groom? What's his name?"

"Sunil Kundhra... He is working in the stock exchange"

"Wow... That's nice. That means, he would be at home at SIX every day... What does he look like?"

"Looks normal... Just like a man in the next door" Khushi said.

"Didn't he talk to you?"

"No..."

"Disgusting... How could any man be not talking to a charming girl like you?"

Arnav switched his gaze from the newspaper to Khushi, as if he was checking whether she was really charming or not.

"Charming and me? Very funny..." Khushi laughed.

"Why are you laughing, Khushi bitiya? I never met a woman like my mother who looked so beautiful. After my mother, I felt you are beautiful...! You have very striking eyes... Your hair... Your smile... Everything is special. If any man doesn't admire you, he must have some problem within him" Nani said making a serious face.

Nani saw Arnav's eyes analyzing Khushi.

"Naniji, I know you like me... But I didn't expect you like me to this extent to compliment me" Khushi teased.

"Do you think I'm complimenting you just because I like you?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"No... You are unquestionably beautiful. Tell me one thing, doesn't anyone propose to you so far?"

Arnav looked at her to know who had proposed to her, not showing his curiosity.

"Many... And they complimented me more than you did. I thought that madness was the effect of love."

"Of course, love should be like that only... Listen, if Sunil doesn't do that, just reject him..." Said Nani seriously.

"Reject? Are you serious?"

"Yeah..."

"Why Naniji?"

"A partner should be an open-hearted person. If he does not like to say you are beautiful, or if he doesn't realize how beautiful you are, what's the use of marrying such a person?"

Khushi's facial expression changed significantly.

"What happened, Khushi Bitiya?"

"You know, how openly my Jeejaji praises my Di?" She said feeling sad.

The duo felt bad for Khushi. Arnav composed himself.

"Why? Does not your Jeejaji love your sister truly?" Arnav asked as if he didn't know about it.
