Two Days Later

Ratna is supervising the decorations of the Raizada Mansion for the upcoming mehendi Function.

"Maa.. Stop stressing out." Arnav said standing next to Ratna while the latter was busy shouting instructions to the workers

"Chup raho chotte.. Humein bahut kaam hai. Jao aur jakar apne Dad ka dimaag khao (Shut up Chote.. I have loads of work. Go and eat your father's brain)" Ratna said

"Maa.. I am vegetarian. I don't eat brains" Arnav stated

"Chotte.. Please, Let me work. The guests will start to arrive today and the house isn't even fully decorated." Ratna said

"Ma.. You have practically stuffed the house with white roses and lilies. For God's sake the house is decorated enough" Arnav said irritated

"Lighting work is left chote. And the stairs are left too. Also did you call the caterers?" Ratna asked

"Khushi was supposed to do that Ma. And she has done that." Arnav said

"Why was Khushi supposed to do that?" Arvind asked

"What do you mean by that Dad?" Arnav asked

"What were you doing?" Arvind asked

"I was busy with Khushi's dress... The designers weren't clear with the specifications. Also I had to pick NK and La from the Airport. But luckily their flight delayed." Arnav explained

"Khushi's dress?" Arvind asked confused

"Haan the wedding attire Dad!" Arnav said

"But.. Wait? You were designing her outfit?" Arvind asked

Arnav bit his tongue. "Kyu.. Koi problem hai?(Why? Is there a problem?)" He asked

"Nahi... Bas tum itna romantic ho jaoge expect nahi kia tha na. Isiliye! Aur koi baat nahi hai (No... Just that we had not expected you to turn so romantic. That's why! Nothing else)" Ratna piped in

Arnav shook his head hopelessly.

"Are you done with the teasing session?" Arnav asked

"Chote!" Ratna chided.

"Anyway I had something in mind-" Arnav started

"No.. Chote, Today is your Mehendi. Aaj tumhe Khushi ko kaheen nahi lejane dia jayega. (Today you won't get to take Khushi out.) Ratna said sternly

Arnav smiled at his mother and held her shoulders.

"As much as I love Hazel, I do have a life beyond her Maa." Arnav said mock glaring at Ratna.

"Right. I do see that chote. The way you've always figured out ways to stay close to your Hazel these days, You seriously seem to have changed into someone altogether different." Ratna said

"Ma.. Aapki Khushi na magnet hai. Usse door raha hi nahi jaata (Mom.. Your Khushi is a magnet. I can't stay away from her)" Arnav winked at her

"Besharam hote jaa rahe ho Chote.. Kya karein hum tumhara!! (You're turning shameless chote.. What do I do with you!!)" Ratna scolded

"Inhe hum sambhaal lenge Maa. Aap fikr mat kariye (I will take care of him Maa. You don't worry)" Khushi said entering the hall

"Khushi Beta.. Aap yahaan? (Khushi child.. You here?)" Arvind asked pleasantly surprised

"Haan Papa.. Hum. Arnav ji... Aap Maa ko pareshaan kar rahe the? (Yes Dad.. Me. Arnavji.. You were troubling ma?)" Khushi asked glaring at Arnav
