Always and Forever

Chapter 05

As planned, everyone from Raizada's house apart from Shyam who had to leave out of town to meet another one of his mistresses visited Payal and Khushi's house.

Madhu who knew nothing about this was shocked to see the two ladies who came a few weeks ago are back with the whole family.

"Come in Devi Ji and Manu Ji, and hello Akash bitua" said Madhu welcoming them.

"Aunty Ji, you already know my mom and dadi, meet my father Sirish and this is my sister Anjali and my elder brother Arnav," Said Akash.

"Welcome to our home," said Madhu. "Payal, come out. The Raizadas are here and ask Khushi to quickly prepare tea for the guests" Called Madhu.

Hearing the name Khushi Arnav was shocked. What a co-incident, Payal's sister has the same name as certain someone he was hoping to meet again for a month now. Aman was helpless this time. He asked Aman to find out about her but only knowing her name was not enough for Aman to find anything. Is it possible that this is the same Khushi, but how?

Payal came running as she already knew why they are here as Akash had already informed her. During the last few weeks, their relationship has gone to another level. Akash secretly came to meet Payal every day. They went on a few dates, she had her first kiss under the stars two nights back and today he is here with his family to ask for her hand in marriage. Can life be better than this?

However, the only problem she had was Khushi. She was reluctant to leave her alone with her Aunty as she knew as soon as she gets married her Aunty will make Khushi get married to Shyam by hook or crook. 

Payal suddenly remembered how powerful the Raizadas are and thought to talk to Akash about Shyam. He may be able to find something about him before the marriage. Taking a mental note to speak to him she went to greet the guests.

"OMG, this is fantastic news Devi Ji. I can't expect anyone better than Akash for my Payal. I am confident her parents won't have any issues with the marriage. They will come to Delhi soon to meet you all. " said Madhu thanking god for sending such a good proposal to her niece. Now she can quickly get Khushi married to Shyam after Payal's marriage and move back to Lucknow as living in Delhi with a widow fund no longer is in her budget. She decided to call her landlord as soon as Raizada leave and planned her move.

Khushi and Shyam can have a court marriage. She will tell Payal's parents that Khushi and Shyam have fallen in love and decided to get married soon to avoid the wrath of her brother.

In the meantime, Khushi was so happy for her sister and quickly prepared tea for the guests. She did feel something like a blow of wind when her sister said to make one coffee without sugar for her brother-in-law because he was a diabetic. Another person who can't have sweets, Khushi thought and remembered the whole incident with the Greek God. She was thinking about that incident when she walked to the living room with the tray. So she didn't notice that the same Greek God was sitting in front of her.

Arnav on the other hand was typing an email on his phone and didn't see her coming. Anjali was also outside the house attending a call.

Khushi gave tea to everyone and stopped in front of a certain gentleman who was busy typing something. Both Khushi and Arnav felt something. Something like a cold breeze passing through them. Both of them looked at each other at the same time and got the shock of their life.

"YOU" shouted both at the same time. Arnav stood and looked at her again. Khushi, the person he was looking for and hoping to meet for the past month is now standing in front of him in a green dress. Khushi felt her own heartbeat. It was beating so fast that if this continues she felt her heart might come out of her body.

"Khushi Ji, you are here? You are Payal Ji's sister" claimed Anjali breaking the eye lock between Arnav and Khushi.

"You two know each other" asked Akash.

"Yes, Akash, we met a month back at the temple. She is the one who helped me with the brace and even Chote has met her, right Chote" Asked Anjali winking at her family.

The whole Raizada family knew who this Khushi is now. They were trying hard not to laugh. Devi was on cloud nine, she came here today thinking of one bride for her younger grandson but was happy that a potential bride for her arrogant elder grandson is also here.

Khushi quickly composed herself and muttered, "A..a.Anjali Ji, you are here?  That means you are Anjali Singh Raizada?"

"Yes, Khushi Ji. I am Akash's sister and this is my other brother, Arnav, remember you met him at the temple? Sorry that day I couldn't thank you properly and didn't get time to even get your phone number. I so wanted to meet you again but without knowing where you live or a way to contact you it was hard" said Anjali and she knew very well that both Arnav and Khushi fully remembered each other. Their eyes spoke for them.

"That's fine Anjali Ji. Now you know about me." Said Khushi. 

But she was still in shock, and that's when it hit her. Arnav, means, he is ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA, the reason behind her nightmares, all those legal troubles just because of this man? Khushi was angry was an understatement. She wanted to kill him right there. Come on Khushi, get it together, This is about Di, looking at Payal she decided to let go of the issue for NOW.

But she won't let him go so easily after what he made her go through. But looking at the situation they are in, she can't afford an argument. She can't punish a whole family just because one person is rotten. She took a mental note to straighten this person up in her own unique way.

"Here, your sugar-free coffee Mr. Raizada" Khushi gave Arnav his coffee faking a smile. Arnav who was busy trying to understand Khushi's expressions, spilled the coffee while trying to take it from her hand.

"KHUSHI, can't you do anything without messing it? Go, take him to the kitchen and help him clean up" shouted Madhu.

"No no Madhu Ji, it's not Khushi's fault, Arnav was careless" defended Devi.

It was like god really wanted them to have some alone time. After all, HE made them wait over a month.

Both Arnav and Khushi quickly left there. Both were waiting for a chance like that and now they can settle the scores. 

She took Arnav to the Kitchen and made sure to close the door behind them to avoid the voice going out. She very well knew this won't go well. Not sure about him, but she was determined to kill him right there.

What Khushi missed was the expression on Arnav's face. Finally, he has this creature alone and he was determined to show her who the real Arnav Singh Raizada is.
