Girl With Secrets

What Is Khushi Hiding?

 Krishna: WHAT???

Arnav: Shut your mouth!!(hurriedly)

Krishna calms himself and after a while

Krishna: Bro! Are you for real? What are you talking about?

Arnav: I heard buaji talking with her. I don't know what's happening with Khushi.

Krishna: (Thinking as a realization hit him making him shocked which were not gone unnoticed by Arnav and Arnav tries to ask him what he was thinking but) Bro!! Have you seen that Khushi is not herself now-a-days. She always talks and gets herself involved in any of the conversations, but she isn't doing these things from past few days.

With that Arnav also realizes the fact that the Khushi he knew who always tries to bicker with him, whose nickname is "CHATTER BOX", the light of his life is not being herself from past few days. Worry crept in him, but Krishna shakes him making him come out of his thoughts.

Krishna: What are you thinking, huh?

Arnav: I....I... (he shutters)

Krishna: So, should we ask Khushi or Buaji??

Arnav: No, I think we should wait for Khushi to tell us everything.

Krishna: Are you sure we should wait for Khushi to tell us everything? Arnav, she had never said anything to us what she is going to do. (He sees Arnav and sighs heavily understanding his situation) OK!! Let's wait for her to say everything.

Then Arnav and Krishna nod to each other and then goes to everyone who are sitting in living room with Khushi. Arnav saw Khushi smiling a little, but he knows that the smile you are showing to everyone was just a show and deep down she is hiding her feelings, and he gets to know from Raagavi that buaji already left to her home. After a while everyone sits at dining table. Suddenly Krishna clears his throat getting everyone's attention. 

Krishna: I was just thinking that if we all eat together then it will be so good, right di?? (Says looking at Amrutha)

Amrutha (Di): Yeah!! Why not? (She looks at Khushi and Raagavi who are currently standing there ready to serve and shows her cute face and) Khushi, Raagavi you two come and sit. Let servants do their work.

Khushi and Raagavi look at each other and Khushi was about to say something but Arnav interrupts saying

Arnav: Yeah!! Now don't make any stupid excuses and come and sit like good girl Khushi. (Showing her a seat which is beside him) I know don't have any appetite, but can you eat a little for mee.... (Khushi looks at him with wide eyes as everyone looks at him in an instant which makes Arnav realize what he said just now. He quickly composes his posture and says) I mean me, Krishna, Amrutha di, Naniji, Mami, Mama and Rohan.

Everyone smiles as they all know what he meant. Krishna sighs in disbelief at his big brother.

Raagavi: Then Khushi you should sit, as no one want me to eat with them and also only your husband is calling you. No one is calling me to sit. (Looking at Rohan)

Rohan understood that his wife is upset with him and gets up from his seat and with a smile playing on his lips and makes his way to Raagavi and makes her to sit beside him. All the family members coo at them. Khushi looks at Arrnav who was staring at her from start and sits next to him. The servants come and serves them food and in the mid of eating Khushi senses that someone is staring at her, and she don't raise her head as she already knows who it is. 

Yes. It is her husband Arnav. After some time, she loses her control and glares at him. But to her surprise he isn't hesitating and still looking at her with an unreadable expression which Khushi fails to understand.

Khushi: *What is he doing? He is acting strange today. He never shows his feelings for anyone. But today something has gotten into him. Why is he staring at me like that? Is something on my face? *(Looks at Raagavi) Jiji!! Is anything wrong with my face??

Raagavi: (Looks at her for some seconds carefully examining her face) No. But why? What happened?? Is anything wrong?

Khushi: No jiji. I just asked you. *Then why is this icy man looking at me like this? Better I rest in room. I think I am stressing myself. And I need to find a way out from this situation to go there as soon as possible before it's too late. Yeah, it is a good idea. *

Khushi eats her dinner as quickly as possible and excuses herself and goes to their (Arnav and Khushi) shared bedroom. Seeing at her antics Arnav lets out a small chuckle which was noticed by two persons sitting there and watching them from start with admiring looks. After eating everyone goes to their respective rooms to sleep. Arnav goes to his room and sees Khushi was already fast asleep and after freshening up he goes to bed and lay down beside Khushi who was now facing him. He holds her waist lightly not wanting to wake her up. A small smile crept in him as he sees Khushi coming closer to him in her sleep. He watches her with admiration and he sees her hand which was now on his shoulder which had a ring, yes, their wedding ring and he remembers their past how they both ended up being husband and wife.
