The First Time Her Mother Became Jasoos

India (Present)

Running out of the room Avni passed the the corridor but was pulled by someone

"Aaoo" she said and and tried to hit the person

"What the!" Arav held her hand caged her

"Do hell why did you pull me here?" she asked looking everywhere to find the trace of Manik

"Do you know you can be..."

"Shuud up" he cut her rolling his eyes and then leaned to her

"What are you trying to do?" she asked leaning away in the wall with wide eyes

"I am emotionally challenged you say" he asked leaning more to her as they were inches away from each other

"Li... Listen" she shuttered

"Hmm" he said tucking her hair strands

"I am listening" he said

"Please keep distance" she said to him

"No" he said and she looked at him wide eye

"What's with you?" she gave a helpless expression

"Me you ask" he came more close and that sealed her lips, not finding any way out he pushed him with all her force and pushed him and ran out

As she left he laughed leaning to the same wall where he caged her

"Thanks Mom" he said still laughing

The Night Before

Arav was standing in the pool area in their Mumbai house. He has heard his family talk about the moments his parents had at the pool side be it their kiss challenge, the time his father gifted his mother for the first times, the bangles she had kept like some valuable jewele, well it was for her or their karvachauth and many more

For him love was them, and lovestory was their story. Yes he wasn't a prince but a Shaitan and she wasn't a princess but a Sankadevi but that's what they were and they were made for each other

"Knock knock" he heard his mother as she knocked on his back

"Mom" he gave her the famous ASR if fed up look

"Arav" she said smiling chirpy

"Not letting me go, are you?" he asked

"Nah" Khushi said

"She called me emotionally challenged" he said not to get any suprise expression

"Yeh bol le zinda rehne wali sirf Avni hi ho sakti hai" Kushi said thinking

"Mom! Mein emotionally challenged hi?" he asked in disbelief

"Deko hum sach kahenge haa" she said

"Tumhara dil na ekdum humare jaisa mulayam, pyara, saaf, saccha sauda, jalebi jaisa meetha jise dekh kar bas muh mein pani aa..." she stopped saying when she saw her son folding his hand, tilting his neck and raising an eyebrow and looking at her just like his father

"Par yeh jo tumhara dimag hai" she said making a bad face

"Mano ASR she udhar par liya ho jo kya kehte hai? Haan ekdum practical, no nonsense, no fun, no enjoyment, no laughing, no smiling..."

"What the!" They turned to look at Arnav who was standing behind her

"Khushi tum yeh sab kehti ho mere bare mein humare bete se?" he asked

"Hey Devi maiyya" she exclaimed

"Yeh baat hai apki Arnav ji aap batein adhuri sunkar react kar dete hai" she said
