ARSHI SS : Blind Date -Courtesy of Match Making Family [√]

Chapter 8 :" Falling Apart "

Two days later.

 Payal was happy , it wasnt just a momentary fleet of emotion but rather something that was embedded in her heart ,maybe it was why she didnt mind when her sister dragged her to the beach .

  Khushi loves beach and always loses track of time once her feet hits the sand , it was also why Payal felt a nervous apprehension as her sister kept looking behind them as if waiting for someone else .

" Khushi , are you not telling me something ?" , Payal asked when her sister behavior went over her normal crazy. 

" I am sorry di, but let wait just five more minutes " Khushi answered back and Payal had her answer in two when two men in suit approached them ,and one of them made her heart flutter as he was the reason her heart always felt happy recently .

" Sorry the meeting run late than I anticipated " the other one , Arnav cousin spoke up towards his sister . Payal didnt think they kept in touch after their date.   And Khushi only nodded her head in answer ,her sister who can speak for miles looked close to dizzy .

" Bhai ,why didnt you tell me ,we are going to meet Payalji and Khushiji " Arnav asked his cousin and for a moment she wondered if her sister was trying to spring a surprise date for her. 

The last two days , he couldn't meet her due to sudden increase of work. He complained in the phone often about how his cousin seems to have changed into a  dictator recently .

And so she wondered if her khushi took it upon herself to approach his cousin on her behalf and demand that he set up a date for them, it was far fetched about right now Payal didnt have anyone reasons .

And her sister was known to leap straight into oceans for her without a thought and Payal had been down for two days ,so maybe her sister decided this would surprise her . But before she could ask her sister if this was her plan ,Arnav cousin spoke up leaving her shattered in its wake .

                ******************

Khushi wasn't used to trust anyone apart from her family and yet she trusted him ,maybe because he had come to her in the early morning with the truth that may not reflect well on his family.

The day before he had told her that her sister would be treated like a queen if she came without a penny and when he found the truth ,he walked up to her father shop to admit the truth that it was her damned inheritance that caused the chaos yet again.

Her initial reaction had been to wail and shout at him , he took it without a protest and then she asked him how she was supposed to break her sister heart yet again .

" Every decision I took had been for my family happiness , and do you think I cherish the idea of breaking Akash heart or telling him that his mother was the one standing in the way of his happiness, I am not it was why we need to wait a little longer until we could come up with a plan " he spoke up that morning .

" The longer we wait ,the more close they will get " She lashed back and he promised to ensure that they don't get to meet in the mean time ,and from her sister she had learnt how he had been able to keep them apart at least physically.

But it didnt stop them from talking or chatting well into the night ,that Khushi realized their plan of keeping them apart wasnt working ,it had been the reason she made a call of her own today and arranged for this meeting.

" Why do we have to tell them together " he asked once she told him ,it was indeed time to let them know the truth.

" Because then my sister would see how affected your cousin was about the news and she won't think he didnt care about her ,so will your cousin and if they really  care about each other ,maybe they will fight together to make it happen " Khushi had answered back .
