"Lavanya, I never had such a terrible juice in my life. My head still spins from it.... Hey Devi maiyya why is this head ache not going away ", Kushi complained to Lavanya who visited Kushi the first thing in the morning.

"Chamkili, don't be mad at me... but you didn't drink the juice , you had my portion of alcohol ", lavanya broke the truth with a guilty face.

"Kyaaa ... sharaaaab??? Did I drink it ? aye Devi maiyya!!!  I'm gonna be get sent out before six months from this house, Arnav ji is gonna kick me out", Kushi ran around her room with her hands on the head.

Lavanya followed Kushi like a shadow, "Chamkili , don't worry. ASR is not mad at you, but he is mad at me.", lavanya pacified a worried Kushi.

Lavanya thought for a moment, "what do you mean by 6 months?". Kushi's dove shaped eyes swirled thinking what to answer.

"Lavanya that is not important, what will I tell Everyone, aye Devi maiyya", Kushi worried.

"No one knows about it, it was just me and ASR, so please don't worry, if you feel bad, then I will also worry", lavanya tried cheering.

Kushi spent the next few hours hiding from family members. She sneaked into kitchen to make some jalebi herself .

A known voice came, "hello hi bye bye, what are you doing chup chup Phati saree ... are you hiding something???", Manorama looked Kushi up and down , from left to right..." kuch toh hai!!..." . " Kuch nehi mami ji", Kushi blabered and vanished from the spot.

Lavanya saw the cat and mouse chase, she looked at Manorama and smiled, " Aunty, Can I ask something to you?",

"Hello! hi , You can ask anything but this time don't say sudden bye bye", Manorama sighed. Lavanya pulled Manorama to the nearest sofa and made her sit, " Why don't you like Chamkili, I mean Kushi? ", before Manorama can answer, Lavanya stopped, " no, don't answer me now, hear me out . I agree when I entered Shantivan I didn't like Kushi, but whatever she does, regardless of how bad we were to her, she does it it will her entire heart. And what has she really done to be mad at ? , So tell me what she did bad to you that you don't like her".

Manorama crossed her hands , " So did that phati saree turn you against me?", lavanya hugged Manorama, " Aunty, you were the one who truly welcomed me in this home and the one who worried when I left, If my mother was in your place would I just walked away ignoring all this? No, so how can I now. Love is like a pineapple, sometimes sweet, sometimes there is a thorn, my love for you is similar",

Arnav looked at Lavanya in awe, so did NK. Never they had imagined lavanya to be this, she was all a business women, a shopaholic but she has turned into a family .

There were two people who were playing hide and seek the whole day.....

Kushi's POV:

Aye Devi maiyya its 9 pm, lord governor should be here soon, what should I do. Shall I ask for forgiveness... no! no! he is not the type . I should avoid his face and possibly make myself invislible. Should I lit the left over incense stick(agarbathi), How can he get angry if he cant speak (giggles).... hey devi maiyya why is my thinking so wrong today? what Should I do.... haan, I'll pretend to sleep..

Kushi covered herself with a quilt from head to toe and acted like sleeping.
Arnav entered the room really tired, partly because of his guilt and partly of the work. He quickly retired to bed. Kushi did her portion of acting very well and quite long that she was out of breathe within the quilt. She slowly popped her head out like a sqiurrel, checking if Arnav was awake or not. Her face slightly went pale looking at him. He slept with his suits on, like he was really exhausted, the wife in her wanted to awake him up and ask if he had his dinner or not, but she didnt have the courage.

It was Shyam who woke up early in the morning, he had planned a lot and now it needs to be executed. He carefully placed a card near Anjali's side of the bed.

Anjali who woke up next grabbed the nearby glass to drink water, but the visiting card captured her attention. 'Aman Singh', the name was enough to bring her out of the sleep. For the last few days a lot of things were pointing at this man. She had a dilemma to whether take the card or not. She quickly took it and kept it within her pillow and acted like nothing happened .

"Rani Sahiba!! you want anything", Shyam asked as if he knew nothing. Anjali nodded no!. " I know you would take the bait Rani Sahiba..., you had to. Now go and call that Aman. Ask him about the marriage . Haan but this time I'm not gonna relay just on you, I have to hit Missiles from so many sides that there won't be any reason for Kushi to stay here ", Shyam thought to himself.

Arnav saw Kushi sleeping peacefully, and thought, " Haan, you are my Kushi!, but maybe with me you wont get your Kushi. What kind of relationship is ours- built on thorns, yet you are my rose.

Listen closely to my heart, I may never utter a word...
this silence is my love's presence, you may never feel ...

Stay close to me, I may never hold you near ....

Like sky and the sea , this distance is our relationship "...

Kushi saw Arnav looking at her, the first time she felt like being loved by him. A gaze that said thousand things to her, his love, pain and a lot more, for the first time she felt words were not needed. Before she could relive the moment Arnav vanished from there, like all that was a dream.

Anjali was sitting in the dinning area with Payal and Lavanya, Kushi went and sat next to lavanya and quietly whisphered, " So how long does it take to get this Sharaab out of my body? I'm seeing things that cant happen" making Lavanya think.

Lavanya whisphered back, "first tell me what you saw and then I will tell whether it was alcohol or Kushi speaking", Kushi stared at lavanya for the comment.

" I saw Arnav ji looking at me, little wierdly... he was not mad, neither angry not that he wanted to ask something to me", Kushi tried explaining in her sanskari ways

Anjali wondered aloud, "Whats so funny Lavanya ji? share with us as well?", Kushi's eye popped out of her socket in fear.

" Kushi was asking about a juice that she had when we went out, she really loved it, it seems...haan naa Kushi?", lavanya made fun.

"Why didnt you buy for me ? I generally like Kushi's choice in food", Anjali sweetly asked . " But di, you are pregnant, how can you drink shaa..", Kushi closed her mouth with both her hands from blabbering stuff. Lavanya quickly jumped in , " She was talking about pineapple juice di... thats why"
