CHAPTER 12
OUTSIDE ANJALI’S HOUSE
Lavanya:Khushi.....(comes n hugs her)
Khushi:(surprised)....Hy lavanya...i din knw u were supposed to cm....di din tell me anythn...
Lavanya:It was a surprise silly!!!(smiles)
Lavanya:Hy ASR...(comes forward to hug him)
ASR:hy Lavanya...(he was nt at all comfortable in hugging its nt tht he doesn’t hug woman but infrnt of Khushi somethn din feel right ...n that too Lavanya who din greet him this way any time bfre...whenever they met...so it was totally unexpected fr him!!)
(for khushi she thought that  they knew each other frm bfre n its the common way of greeting this way in business fields...so she din mind)
Lavanya:Common Khushi-ASR...lets get in there is a lot to talk....(smilig)
(Arnav wanted to spk with Khushi a bit more to knw wat she wanted to tell...but couldn’t bcs of Lavanya’s entry...he thought he’ll spk with her later....n they enter the  house)
Anjali:(seeing all the 3)Lavanya ,chote n khushi...go n freshen up...once all r done will finish the dinner also so go....
(They all leave to their respective rooms..)
AFTER SOMETIME....
Arnav and Lavanya reached downstairs...n she was spkn with him non-stop much to Arnav’s annoyance...
(NK was observing this n wanted to talk to Arnav abt it....Shyam was also thinking seeing lavanya's behaviour whether wat Anjali told is right !!!)
Sohan:Di..whr is Kuku??
(Hearing her name Arnav bcm attentive and nt concentrating to whatever Lavanya was saying...)
Anjali:khushi is in mandir....she ll cm in few mins...
(Hearing this ....lavanya spks...)
Lavanya(sarcastic):How silly di!!! Like seriously...who ll do all those puja’s n all in this era....even though she will bcm a DC...her mentality has nt changed!!
Sohan(angrily):Lavanya...nobody is frcing u to pray or do pooja...after whatever she has gone through if she still has faith in him...thr must be somethn isn’t it??gng to foreign country n learning somethn doesn’t make u grt respecting others wishes n feelings....makes u a better person...!!
Everyone present over thr...thought whatever Sohan told was right!! So din bother to tell anythn more...but lavanya felt insulted infrnt of all!!
Thats when Khushi came wearing a night dress that is with a top n pant...n her hair still wet bcs of shower...without any earrings or chain .....but still looked beautiful....especially fr Arnav...n she went to kitchen to get the dishes as Mohan kaka had left long back!!
WHILE HAVING DINNER
There was total silence...after whatever Lavanya did nobody knew wat to spk so  NK started...
NK:So Khushi....whwn can we expect a party??
Khushi:Party fr wat NK??
NK:wat do u mean by y?? U r bcmn IAS officer fr god’s sake...party toh banta hai!!(smiling)
Lavanya:Wats thr in tht???Ppl r so much in to IT these days no one wants to work in govt jobs everybody prefers private sector over it...hardly few ppl write exam...so anyone could write n bcm an IAS officer...she said casually...
Sohan fisted his hands seeing his cousin get insulted like this but he din want to make any scene tht as she was Anjali’s cousin...NK&Arnav looked at each other nt expecting such statement from lavanya...whereas Anjali din knw wat to do or tell bcs somewhr she knew Lavanya would spoil everythn....whereas Arnav looked Khushi fr any reaction but she just ate her food as if nthn has happened!!!
Khushi:Di....i am done....i am gng to sleep..if u don mind...(she smiles)
Anjali:No khushi...nt all.. gn(smiles)
(After wishing gn to everyone khushi goes upstairs to her room )
Sohan:(controlling his anger) I am also done di....gn everyone(he leaves)
(seeing both of them leave.....Shyam starts)
Shyam:Lavanya....u knw she doesn’t reply back anythn doesn’t mean tht u go on spkn as u wish.....appreciate her efforts n talent if ur really her frn....n UPSC is nt a so easy exam tht u say...its the 2nd toughest entrance exam in India...n fr ur information...more than 10 lakh ppl write exams out of which around 400 get selected finally so have some knowledge abt it bfre spkn!!!
Lavanya:but..jiju...
Anjali(angrily):Nt a word more Lavanya...I want u to go to ur room...now!!
(lavanya leaves to her room nt wanting anjali to anger further!!!)
(Arnav din like the way lavanya was insulting khushi that too being her friend...but shocked was Khushi’s silence....the grl who spoke so much infrnt of an police officer...was just a mute spectator now...he truly has to understand her....)
NK:Di...y did khushi sleep so early its just 10.30...
Anjali(smiling):Thank God NK bhai.... that she was awake till now usually she sleeps wherever she is around 10 itself!!!we had to wake her up a dozen of times from car and from our sofas as she sleeps at that time irrespective of wherever she is!!! she has the habit of sleeping early...n she gets up early in the mrng....
(Arnav thought total opposite they both whr, whr he cannot sleep bfre 1...n she cannot be awake after 10...where he gets up late n she is an early riser....his comparison amused himself for thinkin so!!!)
