When Destiny Puts You Together ✓

Chapter: Three

The Raizada family had returned hours ago from the Gupta House. None of the family members had had a sound sleep the whole night. They had tried to act nonchalant about the whole matter in the presence of Shashi and Garima. But even Arvind and Ratna were disturbed about the sudden change in the course of events.

The next morning Arvind and Arnav were sitting in the study. Conversing deeply

"Pata nahi jab baat media tak pahuinchegi tab kya hoga (What will happen when the matter will reach the media)" Arvind whispered tensed

"Aap pareshaan mat hoiye Dad... (You don't worry Dad) We'll handle the media just alright" Arnav assured

"It's not easy Chote... Guptas and Raizadas are a prominent name of the country. Even a small thing happening in our lives becomes big for the media... Aur yeh baat media bahut buri tarah uchaal sakta hai... (And the media can make a really big deal out of this issue)" Arvind said

"Mein.. Samajh sakta huin Dad, Par iss waqt hum aur kya kar sakte hain?? (I can understand Dad... But What more can be done in this situation?? )" Arnav asked

Arvind sighed in response

Anjali entered the study with three mugs of steaming hot coffee in a tray

"Morning Anu" Arvind greeted with a small smile

"Morning Di" Arnav smiled too

"Khushi had called" Anjali said settling on a chair

"Is everything Okay?" Arvind asked

"Yeah... Sab theek hai, She had just called to ask about us (Everything is fine)" Anjali said

Arvind smiled

"Baat nahi maani usne meri... I bet she didn't sleep last night (She didn't listen to me)" Arnav said

"She confessed... That she didn't sleep. You're right! But she also told me to tell you that she knows you didn't sleep either! So... you're even" Anjali said with a wink

"Jitna tum dono ek doosre ko jaante ho... Utna toh hum bhi tumhe nahi jaante (Even we don't know both of you the way you know each other) I mean... You know each and everything about each other's life" Arvind observed

"Yes Dad... You know Dad, They'd make a beautiful couple if they get married" Anjali remarked

"Di..."

"No... I'm not pulling your leg or something Chote... I swear I believe what I said" Anjali said genuinely

Arvind's eyes shone

"Kya khurafat chal rahi hai aapke dimaag mein Dad?? (What evil plan is on your mind Dad??)" Arnav asked apprehensively

"Koi Khurafaat nahi hai chote... Anu tumne toh saari problem solve kar di (Its no evil plan Chote... Anu you just solved the the whole problem)" Arvind said happily

"What... Are you thinking Dad??" Arnav asked slightly anxious of what his father might be upto

"Aaj sunday hai... Shashi aur Bhabi ghar par hi honge... (Its sunday today... Shashi and bhabi should be home today) Anu call Khushi and tell her we've invited ourselves to lunch at their place. I need to have a word with my Best friend" Arvind ordered

"Dad... What the hell are you upto??" Arnav asked anxiously

"Try to think! I'm sure you have enough brains" Arvind said before walking out of the study towards his bedroom
