Part 14
Anjali was confused first but nevertheless went and opened the main door only to witness Arnav Singh Raizada standing in front of her with a smile on his face.
Her sleep went away seeing her chote.
"Chote" Anjali hugged her brother tightly..
Arnav hugged her back smilingly.
"How are you Di ?"asked Arnav still in hug.
All those incidents which happened came into Anjali's memory. She had tears remembering what happened in the house in her chote's absence.
Arnav brought Anjali out of hug and saw her tears.
"Di.. What happened ?? Why are you crying ?"asked Arnav in a concerned tone.
Anjali thinking it won't be nice to bother Arnav as soon as he came said, " Nothing Chote. I missed you. I just got emotional seeing you.. That's it!"
Arnav easily got her lie. Her words and facial expressions didn't match. Seems like something happened thought Arnav.
"Di. Where is Khushi ? I called her but she didn't lift" said Arnav.
"She must be in the room only Chote. Let's see" said Anjali.
Both the siblings went towards Arnav's room. They knocked on the door.
"Who is it ?"came Khushi's sleepy voice from the room. They can hear her foot steps. Arnav hide beside the wall without visible to Khushi. Anjali looked at him frowning but he signaled her to be silent.
"Oh Chote.. This is not time to play this silly games.. We all and especially Khushiji needs you in this situation" thought Anjali.
The door opened and Khushi looked at Anjali.
"Di.. You!! At this time.. What happened ? Is everything OK ?"asked Khushi.
Anjali entering into the room looked at Aashi who is in her cradle.
"I just came to check on you both" said Anjali.
Khushi looked at her confused while Anjali smiled sheepishly.
"What happened Di ?"asked Khushi.
"Someone came to meet you" said Anjali finally. She is not in a mood to play games along with her chote.
"Who ?"said Khushi and turned towards door. Arnav came at the door with a smile. Khushi was puzzled and surprised seeing him. She can't believe her eyes.
"A..Arnavji.." stammered Khushi, " Are you real ?"
Arnav came into the room and pinched her hand. She hissed in pain rubbing her hand.
"Yes. I am real wifey" said Arnav with a teasing tone.
Khushi got tears in her eyes with happiness and pain. Happiness as now her Arnavji is back and pain remembering what happened in his absence.
She hugged Arnav with all her might making him stumble.. Arnav hugged her back though surprised by her act. Anjali left from there silently leaving the couple in privacy.
Arnav started stroking Khushi's hairs when he heard her sobs. He brought her out of the hug and looked at her face. She had dark rings below her eyes and she is looking very pale.
