Part 80
“Aree
Chote? When did you come?” Anjali asked in surprise. “Night!” came a monosyllable.
“Oh! I
heard some noise in the night..!” she faintly remembered. He was busy sipping his tea.
“Where
is Lavanya?” she asked. Sham walked in.
“Aree
Raani Saheba.. She must be sleeping .. He came in the night.. And maybe she
woke up to greet him!” He smiled pulling his Saale Saab’s legs.
“No!”
Arnav dismissed everything summarily. “Search
me … if you find something.. Call the police..!” a slap on his face brought him
back.
“She is
not well!” he said.
“What
happened?” Anjali was worried.
“And
where was she, yesterday evening?” She asked.
“Party!”
he clarified. Anjali understood.
“Chote,
Nani was furious!” Anjali whispered. He
looked at her.
“She
sneaked out for a party!” Anjali told him.
He had no justification.
“Is she
ok?” she asked him. He nodded.
“Don’t
worry, Saale Saab! Everything will be fine!” Sham consoled Arnav.
“By the
way, Saale Saab! I want to talk to you.. May be in the evening?” Sham looked at
Saale Saab. Arnav nodded.
“Umm..
Raani Saheba.. I need to push off! Have to meet a client! Won’t be there for
lunch!!” he said holding his wife’s hand.
She nodded sulkily. He smiled at
her passionately, squeezing her hand.
She blushed.
Arnav
came back to his room. Khushi had
managed to cover up everything. He
clenched his fists in frustration. “Why
do I end up hurting her?” he asked himself.
“She
deserves it!” he answered. Her hurt,
painful, burning hazel eyes flashed before him stabbing his heart. His eyes searched for her number in his
mobile. His ego held him back in time
from dialing her number.

“Khushi…!:
Payal was speechless.
“Jiji..Tell
me what do I do now? I just said yes to him!” Khushi asked Payal hopefully.
“Khushi…Buwaji
will kill you, if you tell her that you are going out with a boy!” Payal
Shuddered.
“I know!”
Khushi said hanging her head. Both of
them didn’t know what to do.
Their
land line rang. Buwaji picked up the
phone. “Aree, Payaliya… Phone… !” she
yelled. Payal came running.
“Ji?
Aakash Sir?” She looked around.
“Ji…! Ji?” She didn’t know what to answer.
“Umm..
Ok.. No! I will!” She said mildly blushing.
Khushi was standing before her thrusting her hands on her hip. She raised her eyebrows questioningly.
“Nothing!”
Payal said blushing and ran towards her room. Khushi followed.
“Khushi..
I need to go! I need to deliver the motifs..!” She avoided Khushi’s gaze.
“But
jiji? You haven’t finished the last one!” Khushi was suspicious.
“Umm.. It’s
urgent… He asked me to bring the ones those are finished…!” she said blushing.
“Why are
your cheeks growing red, jiji?” Khushi asked loudly. Payal turned her face. Khushi turned her.
“What is
it, tell me jiji…otherwise I will call Buwaji!” she threatened. Payal hesitated but then said,
“Umm..
Aakash Sir wants me to have lunch with him…!” Khushi raised her eyebrows and
forgot to bring them down in shock.
“Ohoooo! So you are going with Aakash Sir? What will Buwaji
do, when I tell her?” Khushi blackmailed.
“Khushi..
I am carrying the motifs… but what will you do?” Tit for tat by Payal, rendered
Khushi speechless.
“Ok!
Jiji.. Let’s keep it a secret. We will
tell them that we are going to the market to buy embroidery material…!” Khushi
was expert in finding the excuses. Payal’s
face lit up.
“Then
you go to Aakash Sir, I will go have a nice lunch with Ranjan Sir! After all I owe
him that much. He has helped me so much,
covering up my mistakes and saving me from the Monster’s wrath….!” Khushi was really
grateful.
“So,
come on Jiji.. Let’s get ready!” they both ran out the complete the chores and
the weekly cleaning up. Amma gaped at
their speed.
“What?
Why are you in a hurry?” she asked bewildered.
“Got to
go to the market, Amma… I have an order…!” Payal said turning her face away
from her Amma.
“Yeah!”
Khushi nodded grinning. Amma shook her
head hopelessly.
“Where
is Buwaji?” Khushi asked, looking around.
“Mandir…
Surya Pooja!” Amma clarified. Both
sisters glanced at each other and increased their speed. They had to push off before Buwaji turned
up..!
******** *********
*********
“Buwaji…
Humnain Kahan Tha Naa?” Sham was
frustrated. He was sitting next to Buwaji
who was clutching her head helplessly.
“NandKishore…!
How do I know, these girls would go out in the morning?” She was frustrated too. They had a plan of Sham taking Khushi out for
lunch and be closer to her.
“I will
convince her..Buwaji.. Don’t worry! I know you are worried about her. Once she says yes, Uncle Ji will also agree!”
He had managed to convince Buwaji. She
had agreed happily.
“Hello? Ji? I am not been able to hear properly… Your voice is cracking…!” Khushi
shouted in the phone. She had frowned
when she saw flashing Sham ji on her mobile.
“Hello,
Khushi ji? Where are you?” He asked her
yelling over the phone. “Karol…!” Khushi
opened her mouth to tell him where she was but again slapped herself.
“Hello? Hello? Kuch
sunai nahi de
raha hain..! I will talk to you later..!” she disconnected
abruptly. Sham frowned and looked at
Buwaji hopelessly.
“Why did
you let them go?” Buwaji yelled at Amma.
“I didn’t
know, you had some plan…!” Amma answered in a small voice. “Shit..!” Sham banged his fist on his
palm. His politeness changed to rage.. His
eyes changed color.. His posture stiffened..He got up from the chair.
“Ok.
Buwaji.. I take your leave!” He said
sternly. Amma looked frightened at this
change. Buwaji was clutching her aching
head.
“Umm..
Sham Babua.. Please have some tea!” Amma tried to stop him, fearing that he
would go after the girls.
********** **********
“Khushi…
Hum Galat Kar
Rahain Hain..!” Payal felt
guilty.
“Yeah
Jiji, I know, this is not right… but it’s a question of one lunch. And you have to deliver the motifs, after all!”
Khushi said grinning. Her cell rang
again. She looked at flashing Sham ji and
ignored.
“Khushi..!
Phone..!” Payal pointed out.
“Sham
ji..!” Khushi whispered. Payal smiled in
understanding.
“Jiji…
Hurry up!” said Khushi picking up the material and paying off the bill. After all the plan should be fool
proof.
“Humm!”
She said handing over the material to Payal.
“Jiji..
We will meet here after two hours…I think that much time is enough for you two …!”
she winked at Payal and Payal blushed furiously. They saw Aakash approaching.
“You
came alone? I would have picked you up!” Aakash said.
“No!
Khushi was there. We bought some
material!” said Payal mildly.
“Where
is she now?” asked Aakash.
“Ummm..
She went with her friend..!” Payal said looking down. Aakash nodded. He took her to a nearby hotel.
“I don’t
know, what I will have for lunch…Hope Ranjan Sir is foodie too… Not like that
Monster!” she frowned at his thought and slapped herself.
“Don’t
think about him, Khushi, enjoy the food!” she said to herself and merged into
the crowd.
********** *********
“Thank
God! Chum saved me!” Lavanya was overwhelmed.
“I think I should call her..!” she dialed Khushi’s number. She didn’t pick up.
“Is she
sleeping? Lavanya was surprised. She
looked at the time. “Hmm I will call her
landline!” she blurted dialing the number.
“Lavanya..!”
came a rude call and ASR appeared at the table. Lavanya was having her late
breakfast with the night’s hangover. She
was sipping black coffee. He stopped
seeing that she was on phone.
“Hello,
Khushi Kahan Gayi?” she asked surprised.
“Oh! Ok.
Thank you!” she disconnected.
“This
Khushi… she is always …!” Lavanya blurted.
“Why? You
don’t have the training session?” he asked sternly.
“No,
ASR! It’s Sunday… and Chum doesn’t come when yo…!” she stopped seeing him
clenching his fists.
“And she
has gone to the market with Payal!” she said and he turned his back and went to
his room.
“Damn
it! Where is she? “ He paced his room, couldn’t stop thinking about her.
“Aakash…!”
he remembered.
********** *********
*****
“Where
are you, Aakash? I want you to call Payal!” ASR spoke without preamble. Aakash fumbled. He didn’t know where the conversation was
moving.
“Bhai?”
he asked bemused.
“Aakash,
Call Payal!” he ordered.
“But
Bhai.. She doesn’t have a mobile..! But…!” he couldn’t complete.
“Damn
it!” He was about to disconnect.
“Bhai.. She
is with me!” Finally Aakash opened the secret.
Payal winced in fright.
“What?”
Arnav was shocked and the coming back to senses ordered.
“KHUSHI KO
DO!”
“Bhai.. She
is not here…!” Aakash fumbled again. He
got up and went aside.
“Damn
it, Aakash! Where is she?” he yelled.
“Umm
bhai.. She went with some friend…!” he fumbled again.
“What
the hell, Aakash?” ASR was furious.
“Ask
Payal to call her and ask her where she is!” he ordered again. Aakash felt embarrassed.
“Ok.
Bhai… I will let you know!” He avoided Payal’s gaze. He didn’t know how to ask her.
“Um..
Payal ji, where is Khushi ji?” he asked stuttering.
“I don’t
know. Why?” she asked looking up at him.
“No.. I mean..
If you could ask her.. I will leave you at her place or maybe I will drop both
of you at your place..!” He found out a reasonable reason. She nodded. But looked nervous. He held out his phone.

Ranjan
was waiting for her. She smiled
broadly. “Am I late?” she asked him.
“No! I
am early!” he said smiling at her.
“Where
shall we go?” he asked her. “ The
nearest one!” she answered and “with good food!” she said inwardly. He nodded and crossed the road.
They
were in Manmeet Hotel sitting at a corner table. Her phone buzzed. It was Payal.
She looked at the missed calls list and shuddered seeing ASR Sir’s
several missed calls along with Sham ji!! There was a miscall from Lavanya.
“Ranjan
Sir! Excuse me!” she dialed Lavanya’s number,
“Hello..
What happened? Are you ok?” she was worried.
“I am
fine, Chamakili… thanks!” Lavanya said.
“Its ok,
Lavanya ji.. I will talk to you later!” she disconnected.
“What
would you like to have?” he asked her opening the menu card She fought her urge to snatch the menu card
from him and order.
“I don’t
know, what is good here!” she said looking down.
“Actaully…
I like any type of food… It should be tasty.. That’s it!” he disclosed to her
relief and she smiled broadly.
“Me too!”
she said relaxed. The next moment they
were discussing the food and ordering.
Khushi
was happy to have a foodie company.
“Umm Ms
Khushi..!” he said hesitantly gauging her reaction. She didn’t notice it that he called her by
her first name.
“Haan
Sir? “ She looked up.
“My name
is Ranjan!” he said looking at her. “I
know it, Sir!” she said grinning. He
smiled.
“I am
going to Mumbai on Promotion. I am a treasury head of our western region!” he
disclosed. Khushi gaped at him. “You are transferred?” she asked in shock.
“hmm! I
wanted it. I am from Mumbai!” he said
seriously. ASR sir considered without
even me asking for it. He said and
Khushi again was lost in her thoughts.
“Aree?
Sham ji?” She thought she saw him at the entrance. She froze.
But the next moment there was no one.
The growl in her mind grew louder.
She winced at his thought.
“I will
be going in a couple of months..! “ he said seriously. She nodded concentrating on her food.
“We won’t
meet after that!” he hinted. She nodded.
“Yeah..!”
she said “Even I will be gone back to
my Lucknow!” she thought gravely. He
looked at her serious face.
“Khushi…
I wanted to…!” he didn’t know how to gather his courage to ask her. She was busy enjoying the food.
“Khushi..
Can I ask you something?” he asked in a serious tone. Khushi was busy eating ice-cream
after a sumptuous dinner. He had
preferred a cake after lunch. His hand
moved towards her… He touched her hand and she stopped eating ice cream. She didn’t know what to do! She gaped at Ranjan. He was
looking at her intently.
“Would
you like to visit Mumbai?” he asked her.
“Haan?”
she looked up in shock and spoon fell
down from her hand. Someone had pulled
the chair.
Ranjan
got up struggling in shock.
