Function has started, guest had arrrived but arnav, aman, akash and anjali weren't really a part if it as they were waiting for her at the entrance, aman was fed up with all this waiting from past half hour and he couldn't help but ask akash 'what are we doing here akash?' 'You idiot, we are waiting for khushi' 'of course but she can come inside herself, what's the need to stand here like a chauffeurs?' Akash rolled his eyes at his best friend and shook his head knowing it's not less then hitting your head on the wall then to make him understand

'Aman wait here with us if you want to otherwise go away' aman nodded irritatingly and went quite just then a car halted at the entrance, a lady stepped out of it and they were way more then surprised to see khushi, she was wearing a light green colour designer dress, with decent but elegant jewellery, she was still the same yet very different, nothing about her was like before except for her physical features

Khushi fisted her hand nervously as they starred at her without blinking and she waited for them to say something and finally aman broke the silence clearing his throat he asked 'are you really khushi?' He asked and she nodded 'yes aman it's me khushi only' she in an attempt to avoid the way they starred at her move forward taking anjali in a hug who hugged her back, she then hugged aman and akash but she couldn't get herself to hug Arnav thus she just greeted him with a 'Hey' which he reciprocated with a nervous smile

They both starred at each other and taking the lead the trio walked away leaving them alone for sometime, non of them had this in their heart to speak up but their eyes spoke volume, they stood their quite letting their eyes do the talking

Where did you go and why khushi?

I didn't wish to go arnav but something took me away from you

But you should have told me

No i couldn't, i had to leave and i couldn't inform anyone

I was so alone without you khushi, without my happiness

I know arnav

Her eyes moistened as she withnesses the loneliness in his eyes and the longing for her in his eyes stabbed broke her heart

They couldn't speak up but a smile made it's way on his lips as his hearr jumped in joy finding her in front of him, silence ruled within them as they were lost in their thoughts, finally she broke the silence 'where is payal arnav?' He was back to his senses hearing her 'she is in her room, getting ready, come let me take you' 'yes sure'

Slowly they made their way to her room, anjali and aman were with her only while akash was attending the guest

'So what do you do?' She asked on their way 'nothing special, i handle dad's business with him' he answered shrugging his shoulders 'hmm so did you get married?' She asked trying her best to behave normally and he shook his head 'no, what about you?' 'Umm no, not yet!!'

'We are here, let's go in' he said and took her inside, payal was freaking out becuase of so many reasons, one it was her engagement and second khushi will be here any moment 'finally' she said out aloud as khushi came inside along with arnav, in no time she pulled her in a hug, unlike others she was way too much emotional to just let go of any sensitive moment without shedding bucket of tears but today she just hugged her as her eyes moistened

'Wow, is it really you payal? You let go of the moment without crying' khushi joked chuckling as they broke the hug and she slapped her lightly on her shoulders 'I can't ruin my make up girl, it's my engagement today ' she said dramatically and they all laughed at her not understand for what she was more sad about, for khushi or for her make up

After a small reunion and a group hug as akash joined them, payal got busy in a final touch up while the rest waited for her to get over with it, just then her phone rang 'who is it khush?' Anjali asked and she shrugged 'my P.A' saying so she got up and walked a little away from them 'what is it varun? I clearly told you to not to disturb me after 6' she said in a dangerous tune scaring her PA on the other end

'I apologize for disturbing you ma'am but Mr.Mehta was just arguing a lot, i had no other option' 'huh!! Where is he?' 'Let me pass the call to him' he said and once done Mr.Mehta greeted khushi on the other end 'Miss.Gupta i wanted to discuss that...' but khushi didn't let him continue 'Mr.Mehta i never knew that there is not an ounce of professionalism in you, if I had knew it before i would had cancelled this deal long ago' she said coldly but in a very dangerous tune, Mr.Mehta gulped from the other end 'but never mind it's better   so yeah our deal is cancel'

'what no you can't do this Miss.Gupta, this will be a huge lose to us' he stated horified and she just rolled her eyes 'I am capable enough to cover that lose up, but i would never appreciate working with people like who don't have any value of time, we had a meeting today, a long one you could have discussed about your queries then because now is not the time, well leave it, now will you please pass the call to my PA'

'Ma'am' 'varun cancel this deal, call our lawyer, get the papers ready today itself and i will sign them the next morning itself' 'ye..yes ma'am ' and with she disconnected the call and turned back to her friends who were starring at her as if she was a ghost 'what?' She asked with a raised eyebrow 'khushi, you cancelled the deal just because of a call...like seriously?' Asked anjali as if she couldn't believe what she heard 'come on now anji, you have no idea how much irritating it is to deal with such people who are not at all professional, he should had respected my privacy and waited for tomorrow, well leave that, it's my professional matter and i will deal with it tomorrow'

They nodded and diverted their attention on something else except for arnav, his eyes were just on her as if he was trying to find out some answers himself and the way he starred at her made her restless so just to end this restlessness she turned to payal 'how much more will you get ready payal? Let's get going' she said and payal nodded, checking herself one last time in the mirror, they made their way outside

Engagement took place and all the friends cheered for the couple, even khushi enjoyed it to the fullest as if she never parted away from them, but her happiness was shortlived as when they all were having dinner arnav turned to anjali 'anji why are mom and dad taking so long to reach here?' He asked and khushi went numb for a moment, but she relaxed a bit hearing anjali who replied that they won't be able to make it 

'by the way khushi, what is your post in your company?' Asked aman 'actually i am the Owner, umm let's say a 49% Partner in this company' she told and they cheered for her because they all were aware what was her financial condition earlier but they were happy about her success, she just gave them all a heart warming smiles in return of their appreciations

'Guyz i should get going, it's too late and i have to call dad once I reach home so i will take my leave' she said getting up 'khushi please, stay a little more, we will drop you on our way back home' 'no it's fine anji, my driver is outside, i have to go ' anjali pouted giving up 'fine but when will we meet next?' 'I promise to meet you guyz whenever i will be free' 'ohk deal then' payal giggled, soon khushi bit good bye to all and left

After sometime arnav too told anjali to let's go 'bhai, you go, i will be staying with payal tonight' 'oh ohk, take care of yourself' and with he left for home
