Nani:(thinkin)jus don wear mangalsutra  n toe ring fr few days until the marriage is announced...thts all
Khushi(shocked):Nani....
Nani:I knw wat u r thinkin beta..chote n u r bound together fr life now...n mangalsutra,sindoor n toerings r symbol of this marriage...but now in this condition ur nt in a position to wear it thts all!!tht doesn’t change the fact that u r her husband or u his wife right??u should have the respect fr the marriage frm ur heart beta..n when u have respect fr marriage in ur mind outside if u wear or nt it doesn’t matter....n men usually don wear anythn indicatin they are married that doesn’t mean they r nt happy or nt married right??similarly fr us...
Khushi:But Arnav...
Nani:He doesn’t give imp to all thse thngs  beta....fr him u will be his wife if u wear mangalsutra or nt!!!Understood??

ASR:Ya actually it was pretty good...infact it was the way as i wanted so don worry...
Khushi:Oh...Ok...
And they chatted fr sometime abt his project n upcoming fashion show...Arnav observed that she was vocal abt expressin her views abt anythn if it was nt personal or nt related to hers but when it came to defendin herself she would remain mum....he thought rememberin Lavanya’s insults thown at her twice...
Khushi:I wanted to go to office tmrw...
ASR:Ya sure nt a prblm...u can continue ur work whenever u want...u need nt ask permission frm me abt that...
Khushi:Thank you

N she leaves the room......
AFTER DINNER...10.30P.M
Arnav was in his room doin his work...Nani n Khushi were watchin TV downstairs..
Arnav felt thirsty so he thought to go down n get some water...he wondered y din Khushi din cm still as she sleeps early...with these thoughts he came down..to see his Nani watchin some horror movie with her face covered by pillow she almost was peakin frm it to see wat is happenin in the screen...(he sighed)his nani was never behaving like his nani... instead she herself behaved like a child..watchin those horror movies at her age...(he smiled inwardly)He saw Khushi who had already dozed off in the sofa itself...unaware to nani who was busy watchin movie...He came thr...
ASR:Nani....wat r u dng??at this age seriously??n why r u even watchin with ur face almost covered by pillow....
Nani:(she smiled sheepishly)No chote my frns grand kids told its very good horror movie...
ASR:I think ur horror movie was a lullaby fr Khushi(he showed her)
Nani:Oh...when did she sleep??i din knw only...
ASR:Nani..u better go n sleep...i’ll wake her up...
Nani:Ok
Arnav gently called her name n put his hand on shoulders to wake her up...she opened her eyes sleepily n irritated n saw him..
ASR:Go n sleep in ur room...
Khushi just opened her eyes little n started walkin keepin her eyes closed n walked till her room n enterd inside her room...
Seein this both Nani n Arnav let out a small chuckle seein her behaving like child....
ASR:ok Nani...u to sleep...gn
Nani:GN...chote...
Arnav came to his room after drinkin water to find her sleepin peacefully on the bed but she had taken his side of bed tdy...may be in sleepy state he thought(n smiled) n came n rested in another side...
2.00A.M MIDNIGHT ARNAV’S ROOM
Arnav could feel Khushi feelin uncomfortable...n movin little on the bed so he opened her eyes to look at her but she was shocked to see her sweatin n murmurin somethn in her sleep...like
Khushi:No....dont...I didn’t....(n suddenly she gt up frm the sleep sittin wide awake...gaspin fr air..)
ASR:(he was shocked to see her like this,he kept a hand on her shoulder n called softly)Khushi...
Khushi:(shocked bcs of the touch)..
ASR:(sensing her shock)Relax....here have some water....(n gives water)
Khushi:(drinks it)...
ASR:Relax...jus try to sleep.....ntn has happened...
Khushi lied on the bed...listenin to his words where he patted her hair n she closed her eyes finally slept after sometime..
Arnav also slept makin sure after she slept...with the thoughts abt her nightmares or whatever made her behave so...
NEXT MRNG 8.00 A.M
Arnav was in gym downstairs....workin out as he had missed it fr few days with the thoughts of Khushi n her nightmare n tdy she was already up bfre him n was downsairs when he came to gym...he wanted to ask her but he wanted her to give sometime to be comfortable with him n so that she could tell him later on her own.....he finished his workin out n enterd his room to be shocked!!!
There Khushi stood in a white shirt neatly tucked inside her black ¾ skirt lookin as gorgeous as ever....with only silver color watch on her left wrist n a bracelet in right hand..n hair was tied in a French plait which rested on her back...the fashonista in him appreciated the
dressin sense in her...
Imagine Khushi in this dress
