Khushi sat in her room, bored out of her mind. For some reason, no one allowed her to do any work since morning - they wouldn't let her cook, they wouldn't let her help with the household chores, they didn't even let her massage her father's feet - which was very weird, considering the fact that her Buaji would always keep her busy with some work or the other. Just a few minutes ago, she had asked her Amma if she could go and visit Geet and Kajal, since they hadn't come home today, she nearly jumped out of her skin when Madhumati shouted "Nahi nahi nahiiii... tu aaj kahin nahi jaayegi" (No No Nooo... You will not go anywhere today) and literally shoved her into her room. She just didn't understand what was going on...
The ringing of her phone pulled her out of her thoughts,
she smiled looking at the caller id, and immediately answered the call Arnav Ji
Hi Khushi she nearly dropped her phone hearing the husky tone of his voice
Arnav did that on purpose.. he already had an idea regarding the effect that tone of his had on her.. and the absolute silence on the other end confirmed his theory, he couldn't help the smile that formed on his face. Hello... Khushi? Line cut hogaya hai kya (Did the line get cut) He deliberately said out loud
Nahi Arnav ji.. hum hai line mai (No Arnavji.. I am still on the line) Khushi spoke finally finding her voice
Oh.. Busy ho kya? mai baad mei phone karun? (Oh.. Are you busy.. should I call later?)
Nai nai.. Busy nahi hu.. Aap kahiye (No No.. I am not busy.. You say)
Hmm.. Aaj ke liye tumhari plans kya hai? koi kaam hai kya? (Hmm.. What are your plans for today? Do you have any work?)
Khushi pouted remembering how bored she had been Koi plan nai hai arnav ji.. dekhiye na.. aaj bache bhi nai aare hai tuitions ke liye... koi cricket match dekhne jaare hai sab.. aur (There is no plan Arnavji... See will you.. Today the children are also not coming for tuitions.. they all are going to watch some cricket match... And)
Khushi.. Arnav stopped her from continuing with her speech Maine tumhari plans ke baare mei poocha tha.. poori mohalle ka nahi (I asked about your plans.. not the entire neighbourhood's plans) He shook his head exasperatedly
Meri koi plans nai hai... aisi hi baiti hu ghar mei (I have no plans.. I am just sitting idly at home) He smiled at her complaining tone
Tho teek hai... Mai tumhe ek ghante mei aake pick up karlunga.. hum bahar jaa rahe hai.. be ready (That's fine then... I will come to pick you up in an hour.. we are going out.. be ready) He stated so casually
Khushi sat up straight.. KYA? (WHAT?)
What? He asked as if what he had just proposed was an everyday occurrence Be ready.. Ek ghante mei Mai tumhe pick up karne ke liye aara hu.. (I will be there to pick you up in an hour) He repeated himself
Par Buaji (But Buaji) Khushi got off her bed
Arnav chuckled Khushi.. Buaji humaari saat bahar aake kya karegi? (Khushi.. What will Buaji do joining the two of us?) She could literally hear the laughter in his tone..
Arnavjiiii Khushi whined, making Arnav chuckle even more
Khushi couldn't help smiling as well, but she quickly sobered up Buaji mujhe jaane nahi degi.. Abhi thodi der pehle meine Geet ke yahan jaane ke liye poocha tha.. aur Buaji ne mujhe jaane nahi diya... (Buaji won't let me go.. Just a few minutes a go I asked if I could go to Geet's place and Buaji didn't let me) Khushi pouted
