8- His darling

    After the celebration of Arnav's birthday,the Raichands returned to their home.

    The Raizada elders were sitting together and discussing some business matter when Arnav arrived there. He was in his room after Khushi left. He was overwhelmed by the emotions he felt towards Khushi. So in order to compose himself,he had left to his room.

   Watching his family discussing business and other matters,he walked towards them and sat beside his mother.

   "Dadaji" Arnav called his grandfather. And it got the attention of the family.

"Yes,dear. What is the matter?" asked the elder Raizada.
"I want to know about Raichands " said Arnav looking at his grandfather.
  His grandfather smiled and told him everything about. Raichands that he knew.

   Arnav was shocked learning about Kalavati. He had not heard about her in his previous life. But he was sure,Kalavati was there in that life as well. And Kalavati had a distinct connection with the Malliks.

   Khushi's trauma made his heart filled in agony. He vowed to himself to destroy Kalavati to teethers.
 
    Raizadas were happy seeing Arnav paying attention to Khushi as they were planning to make her their elder daughter in law.  Only Devyani Devi was little hesitant as she wanted the true heir to the throne of Raizada Royal Clan to be with someone from equal status.

    Arnav had also seen the unsure look casted on Devyani Devi's face and he knew that she was thinking about status. And he decided to slowly make her accept Khushi as her granddaughter in law.

   "By the way Amy,tell me how do you feel about Khushi?" Asked Manorama Raizada to her dear Arnav smiling mischievously.

"Maa,why are you even asking him. Its written all over his face,it was love at first sight.." said Aksh teasing his brother.

   "What the... Aksh shut up. She is still young. And where the hell did you learn these things? I don't think your school teaches you all these,love at first sight blah blah,right?" said Arnav irritated.

   "Bhai,this is the perfect age to love. If this time passes then you will regret for life time" Aksh tried to tease his brother more.
  "Ohh,right time to love... You just stand there Aksh Singh Raizada,I am going to show you how you will regret today.. Stop Aksh..." shouted Arnav and began running behind a already running away Aksh.

   The family brust out laughing at this.
 
   "May no bad eye fall on these two" said Manorama praying the Almighty.

   What she did not know was Arnav was going to protect from all evils and erase the existence of the evils from their life.

    They could hear Arnav loudly saying Aksh to stop,Aksh teasing him at a distance. The elders then began talking among themselves leaving the kids at their own.
  
   Arnav and Aksh both sat down on the recliners on the family poolside panting after the long runs both had.

   "Bhai,do you know Khushi loves your songs a lot. It was your first Album that pulled her out of her trauma." said Aksh.
  
  Arnav was surprised. And he was glad also that his Khushi likes his songs.

"Aksh,keep an eye on the friends of Khushi. We need to protect her" said Arnav looking at Aksh seriously.
 
"Okay boss" replied Aksh in mock salute.
  Arnav smiled a little at this...
