RM
Dining Hall

It was a new day. The Raizadas were peacefully having their breakfast. Khushi and Anjali were serving while the others ate silently when suddenly Arnav called Sheetal gaining everyone's attention including his wife's.

Arnav "So Sheetal, you had applied for a job at ARD?"

Sheetal "Yes Arnav. I'm so glad you acknowledged. I had applied a week ago. They still haven't called me for an interview." She spoke hiding her smile.

Arnav "Well, there's no need for an interview." He spoke making Sheetal scowl and Khushi smile internally.

Sheetal "But I thought I'm capable enough-"

Arnav "Yes you are. That's why I'm saying you are not required to give an interview. The job is yours. You'll get your appointment letter today. You're joining from tomorrow."

Khushi was shocked with the turn of events while Anjali couldn't comprehend this sudden change in her baby brother. Yesterday he was not leaving a single chance to demean Sheetal and today he was offering her the job, that too in AR, without an interview, without letting anyone know, specifically his wife whose face was worth watching.

Whereas Sheetal was on cloud nine. "Thank you so much Arnav. I'm really really grateful. I can't believe it. Thanks a lot for your support and everything that you've done for me and Arav so far. I don't know what I would have done without you!"

NK "Well, I'm sure you would have found someone else for that if not Nannav." Said NK sarcastically not getting why his dear brother turned to sweet in one night. To the bitch who was being so rude to his wife.

Akash "Bhai, we have a meeting." He interrupted him.

Arnav "Yes we're getting late. We are leaving." He addressed everyone present on the dining table and then turned to take Khushi in a goodbye hug but didn't find her around. Confused he picked up his phone and coat and left with Akash.

Bedroom

Khushi closed the doors of the room frustrated at why her husband suddenly changed his behavior towards that annoying ex girlfriend of his. Muttering incoherent words from her dictionary she threw her phone on the bed.

Khushi "How can he do this? What is wrong with him? How could he be so careless. That bitch was practically insulting me the other day then why did he offer her a job in ARD!" She took of her earrings and threw them carelessly on the dressing table. "One day he decides to treat me like a princess, the next day he treats me like I'm a nobody. Am I a nobody? Shouldn't he have discussed it with me before declaring that whore a job!" She started messing around with his files. Jumbling them here and there so that he faces a tough time in finding them. In the meanwhile she heard a knock on the door.

Khushi "WHAT?"

Anjali "It's me. Please open the door come on. I know you're mad but not at me right?" Anjali spoke concerned.

Khushi sighed and opened the door to find a worried looking Anjali holding a tray full of breakfast for her. She glared at the tray and let her in. "I'm so sorry Khushi I don't know what the hell is wrong with Arnav. Please don't loose your calm over this. I'm sure he must be having a valid reason behind all this. Eat something."

Khushi didn't pay any heed to her call. She was occupied with her thoughts.

Anjali "Hey I know you're upset. But they're not worth it. Why are you wasting your energy on someone who is just a temporary resident at RM. She will eventually leave after all she is nothing but a home-wrecker and she can never break the relationships of this household." She tried to make her dear sister-in-law understand.
