In Gupta house

"No......no........I will not go there" kushi shouted from the bathroom.

"Kushi why are behaving like this? Come out first and what's the problem you have going there?" Payal shouted from outside trying to get her stubborn sister out of bathroom.

Our dear sankadevi locked herself in bathroom for about half an hour when she was asked to go to RM to give some gifts to the groom's family.

"Never jiji I will never go there. Atleast not in this lifetime" she again shouted.

Payal sighed hard. She decided to use the last weapon 'emotional blackmail'

"Kushi can't you do this, even for your poor jiji"

"Jiji I will give even my life for you but I will not go there"

"Kushi why are you doing this? Amma and buaji have so much work here and they have to be here to attend our guests and I also can't go there as I'm the bride.  Try to understand"Payal explained her patiently.

Kushi thought for sometime sitting on the inverted tub(no no tub is not inverted she made it to have a seat) biting nails (bad habit)  "but jiji what if that laad governor do something" still she was not ready to oblige.

"Not again kushi, how many times I have to say you don't talk like this about Arnavji and moreover he would have been in office by now" she tried to put some logic in her sister's mind. Time is past ten, by now our workaholic ASR will be in office not in home roaming around.

Kushi's eyes lit up. She hurriedly opened the door and crashed with Payal hugging her tight. Finally there was an assurance that see will not face her laad governor who is the one and only reason of her this stunt.

"When Kushi is here why to fear. See how fast I reach your sasural with the gifts. And jiji if you have any message for you to-be-husband say it to me I will deliver it to him pakka" she said with a wide grin.

Payal looked her with disbelief and wondered is she the same person who locked herself in bathroom for half an hour taking the hell out of her just to make her agree to deliver the gifts. She shook her head and left from there not able to bear her sister's mood swing.

In RM

Kushi came happily carrying all the bags but what she doesn't know was that her laad governor is coolly resting in his room obliging to his di's order not to step out the room owing to his so called sickness.

Kushi sat in hall chatting with nani and Anjali smiling ear to ear. Suddenly her heart started to beat erratically.

She clutched her dress tightly closing her eyes muttering to herself "Kushi you are gone mad how can you get acidity, even that laad governor is not here. Have to check with doctor otherwise it will burst one day for sure"

"Kushiji are you ok" asked concerned Anjali by her sudden silence.

"Not..... nothing di I'm.... I'm fine"she replied stammering.

Before Anjali could ask further questions her eyes fell on figure descending the stairs.

"Chotae" Anjali called him making Kushi choke the water she was drinking to compose herself from someone effect.

Both looked at Kushi one with concern other with a smirk very well knowing the reason what made her choke.

After confirming that she was ok Anjali turned to enquire her chotae.

"Chotae what is this, I said you to not step out of your room then why you came down that too in your suit?" She asked looking him up and down who was fully ready in his three piece suit.

"Di just now only I got a call from Aman I have to attend an important meeting in nanital" he said casually.

Hearing the word nanital Kushi eyes grew wide remembering their past encounter. Arnav watched her every reaction from the corner of his eyes.

"What? Chotae here I'm telling you to not even step out of the room but you are planning to go out that too nanital. How you think that I will allow you?"she asked crossing her arms and tapping her feet.

"Di try to understand I have to go there, it's important"

Kushi sat observing the siblings like a tennis match. She felt bad hearing about Arnav's illness which didn't got unnoticed by Arnav.

"What happened bhai?" Akash came there hearing the commotion.

"Nothing Akash I'm going to nanital but di is not letting me. Fussing over this small thing"

"What I'm fussing, chotae you are weak how can I allow to go out in such situation?"she argued.

"Di I can manage"he tried to convince her.

"But bhai, what meeting is their in nanital I don't know about it"Akash jumped in.

"Woh Akash I thought not to disturb you and to let you enjoy your wedding" Akash blushed hearing this.

"Whatever I'm not letting you to go anywhere" Anjali stood stubborn.

"Bhai if that so important, I will attend it. You take rest" Akash came up with a solution.

"No no Akash how can you? I mean you are the groom you should not roam like this it's not good"

"He is right Akash but I'm not allowing you(she said to Arnav)" Anjali was not ready to budge.

"Diiii" Arnav whined.

"What diiii"Anjali imitated him sarcastically.

"What's the problem?" Nk came there munching his chips.  Akash fed him with the information.

"Who asked this monkey to come now" Arnav muttered under his breath.

Seeing her dear chotae's slucky face and came up with an idea "Ok you can go but on one condition"

"What?"

"You have to take Nk bhai with you"

"What? no way" ASR's face was worth watching.

"What no way? then you are not going out" Anjali stated turning her face.

"But di what can I do with this monkey he will add more pressure to me"

"Haaan di I'm not going to go with this ra-one" earning a glare from Arnav "I love my dear life. I will be killed in that boring meeting'

"Yes yes for you eating is the best job" Arnav mocked nk for which he just pouted and resumed back to his work (eating).

"Kushiji" Nk shouted enthusiastically waving his hand seeing petite figure peeping beside which he not noticed in all these chaos.

"Great idea Nk bhai" Anjali jumped excitedly.

"What?"NK asked scratching his head.

"Kushiji will go with you. She will take care of you and she too have some experience working in your office. Hai na kushiji?" Anjali declared.

Kushi stood there dumbfounded.

Finally mission accomplished.
