ARSHI: STAR CROSSED LOVERS

Part 3

Arnav directly went towards Shyam and said, "Jijaji, Khushi forgave me. Ab aap bhi mujhe maaf kardo" [Jijaji, Khushi forgave me. Now you too forgive me] Shyam replied, "Meine tumhe already maaf kiya, kyunki jaane anjaane mein tumhare us galthi ki wajah se hi mujhe apna parivaar mila hain. Isliye ab tum bhi yeh guilt trip se bahar aao. Aur haa iska matlab yeh nahi ki, tum aese harkat kisi aur ke saath kar sakthe ho" [I've already forgiven you, unknowingly because of you mistake I got back my family. So, now you too come out of this guilt trip. But that doesn't mean you cannot do this any other girl.] Arnav replied, "Kabhi nahi Jijaji." [Never Jijaji]

Then even Shashi forgave Arnav. They sat down and spoke for a while. After sometime, Shyam said to Shashi, "Maasaji, mera ek case hearing hain, tho kal mujhe wapas Delhi jaana padega. Kyuna aap log bhi hamare saath Delhi chale. Thode din waha rahenge to, paayal aur Khushi ke liye maahol badlega. Unhe bhi acha lagega." [Uncle, I've my case hearing, so tomorrow I've to go back to Delhi. Why don't you all come to Delhi along with us? If you stay there for few days, there'll be change in atmosphere for paayal and Khushi, they'll feel better.]

Shashi replied, "Aap theek kaha rahe ho bitwa. Par mujhe dukhan kholna padega. Bahut din hua dukhan khol ke. Hum nahi aa sakhthe. Tum Khushi aur Paayal bitiya ko saath mein leke chalo. Thode din waha rahenge, toh acha lagega." [Whatever you're saying is right dear. But I've to open my shop, it's been very long since I opened it. So, I cannot come with you. But you can take Khushi and paayal along with you. They'll feel better, if they stay there for few days.]

Shyam replied, "Theek hain, par aap sabko bhi aana padega jald hi." [Ok, but you all should also come very soon.] Shashi nodded his head. Then Shyam turned towards his sisters and asked, "Chaloge na apne bhaiyya ke saath?" [Will you both come to Delhi with your brother?] Paayal didn't reply anything, Khushi said, "Par bhaiyya bauji ko akela chod kar kaise?" [But how can we come, leaving Bauji alone] Shashi replied, "Tum meri chintha math karo bitiya. Tum dono jayiye, Delhi ghoom ke aayiye." [Don't worry about me, dear. Both of you go and visit Delhi] Both Khushi and Paayal nodded. Everyone was happy with the decision. And the happiest ones were Shyam, Anjali, Arnav, and Akash.

Shyam and Anjali were happy because they could spend more time with the Gupta sisters and know more about them. Akash is happy that he can see Paayal daily and get to know her more. Arnav is happy that Khushi will be at his home. He can see her daily. From the day of the fashion show, her hazel eyes are haunting him. He doesn't know what he feels for Khushi, but maybe with time, he'll understand his feelings for Khushi. He doesn't know why but when Khushi said she cannot hate him, he felt relieved. He felt happy. There's so much on his plate and he needs to understand his feelings first. Shyam and Anjali decided to stay back for the night. The remaining Raizadas left to their guest house in Lucknow where they were staying for the past 3 days.

Arnav didn't feel to go back leaving Khushi, but he had to. He convinced himself that from tomorrow anyway they'll be staying in his house only and left for the guest house. He asked Aman, to arrange his private jet, as they'll fly to Delhi tomorrow. Soon the day ended and they retired to sleep.

The next morning after having breakfast, Arnav went to pick Anjali, Shyam, Paayal, and of course Khushi. He was very excited, as he'll get to see Khushi. When he reached Gomti Sadan, he saw Anjali and Shyam waiting for Khushi and Paayal to come out. He sat down on the couch waiting for them, slowly Paayal came out, she was wearing purple color salwar suit. Later Khushi came out, and she just took his breath away. She was wearing his favorite red color salwar suit and looking extremely beautiful. He was so lost in her, that he didn't hear Anjali calling him. Then Anjali came towards him and nudged him and asked, "Chotte where are you lost?"

That's when he came to his senses, he said, "Nothing Di." Then Anjali smiled and said, "Shall we leave then?" He nodded his head and went towards Paayal and Khushi to take their bags. He went out and placed them in the car. Then he came back and bid bye to the Guptas. Soon, Shyam, Anjali, Paayal, and Khushi came out and they went to Guesthouse.
