As if Dev's tongue had a black mark... Khushi actually got an emergency call, and more to Arnav's disappointment, Shyam chose to accompany her.

But did he even had any chance or reasons to accompany her? Hell no. And that's what was suffocating him.

Though they mentioned they would return by evening, Arnav's heart didn't settle. He had made up his mind and heart about spending all the hours with her... If not possible he was ready to settle to atleast have her presence near him. But none were served to him.

So he was here, stuck in between elders conversation, while Anjali was having her nap and Payash were out in the garden having their own gala time.

But thank god he was here.

Radha:Madhuji... What have you thought about Khushi's marriage?

Arnav's breathe hitched at the thought.
Aren't they waiting till the other two marriages?

He thought while his heart pumped in anticipation.

Buaji:I too don't know Nand kishore... That girl always avoids that topic like plague these days... Don't know what's up with her these days...

An invisible smile formed on his face.
Of course my girl won't agree to anyone but him. His heart shouted.

Radha:Yeah that's normal Madhuji... Kids are like that... But you can atleast start searching for a suitable man for our Khushi..

Can't they look here? Arnav murmured.

But Buaji's next words made his blood boil.

Buaji:There is no need to search Nand kishore... Her Childhood best friend is returning from London for Payal's marriage... And also has informed Sashi about proposing her for marriage... Both are doctors so things will be managed more properly....

WHAT THE FUCK? his mind screamed
Hey chill.. Khush won't accept any proposals his heart said with all the confidence it had.

Radha:But what if She didn't accept?

Radha asked Arnav's words..

Buaji:Since childhood, both have roamed around the locality screaming that they were husband and wife.. Haha.... Khushi always gets excited to talk to him... I feel like she likes him from childhood.... So she won't reject..

Her further words didn't reach Arnav's ears as Rage had blocked all his senses.

No... She doesn't like him... Hell she won't like anyone but me... His raged mind was about to the control but his heart intruded.

Of course she doesn't like him Arnav... It's just buaji interpretation... Why are you taking it seriously. Khush won't accept any damn proposals.. Calm down.

He again took deep breathes from the count of one to ten. But Akash's words again whipped off the calmness.

Ak:Uncle.. Shyam's car got punctured while they were returning.... I will go and pick them up..

Everyone agreed while Arnav sneaked out and rushed to Akash's car.

I'll drive.

Ak:Chill Arniee...

But Arnav didn't. He sped to the destination but the roads had other plans due to Construction thus had to take longer route.

It was already evening and clouds spread their wide hands on the sky,sending lights now and then,ready to be poured anytime soon.
