The next hour was a blur in the Raizada house. Everyone bustled about noisily, in their own little happy world. It seems as though everyone had forgotten about Khushi's amnesia. But she didn't mind. It's a lot nicer when you get to enjoy Diwali without everyone fussing over you.

She stepped into the hall and the very sight took her breath away. It was magnificent. The lights were just....

"It's pretty good, huh".

Khushi jumped. She hadn't realized Arnav's presence. And that was silly; she realizes his presence even before he does, always.

"Khushi..." Arnav's words brought her back to reality. "How is it?"

It's simply lovely, and I couldn't ask for anything better, and it is all because of you, Khushi thought. "Mmhm...", is what she said with a smile and and a small nod.

Khushi was out cleaning beside the pool. She was thinking about all the excitement happening, when Anjali Di and Arnav walked up.

"Hi Khushi, how are you feeling?" Arnav asked with the familiar naughtiness in his voice.

"I am g..g..good, thanks." Damn it! Why did she have to stammer in front of him?! Arnav smiled.

Anjali Di spoke then. "Chote, Khushi, then you'd better start putting up the lights now." Both of them nodded.

"But Anjali Di, I'll do that. I'll put up the lights. Both of you are needed out there.' Anjali Di nodded and went. Arnav came closer. "Khushi, remember what happened last time you tried? No, its much safer I do this."

Khushi smiled

Khushi smiled. She had completely entangled herself in lights. Lights! And then......and then, Arnav had come to help her. It was a wonder he didn't yell at her that time. And call her stupid. And throw a tantrum the size of world war 3 under the motto 'What The'. He did look a lot nicer when he didn't shout. The way his eyes......Oh no. Laad Governor. That's what he was. End of discussion.
