Part 17
Khushi was still sleeping as she slept late. Buaji shouted from outside...
"Arrey...Payaliya, wake Sankadevi up."
Payal hit on Khushi's thigh.
"Khushi.... wake up.... It's 7'o clock."
"Jeeji five minutes....."
She pleaded in a sleepy voice.
"Khushi, today is our Mehandi ceremony.... You are still sleeping...?"
Khushi sat on the bed with a jolt.
"Whaaaaat!"
She looked here and there with messed up hair.
"Go and take bath..."
Payal hit her shoulder. Khushi rushed to the washroom, taking a towel while blabbering...
"Why did you let me sleep, Devi Maiya...? Amma and Buaji are working alone... without helping them I was sleeping... Buaji is going to scold me with numerous names...."
She closed the washroom door and Payal chuckled.
As Khushi predicted, she was scolded by Buaji.
"Arrey Sankadevi, in usual days, waking up earlier, you roam room to room unwantedly... but today, you were sleeping like as if you born to sleep...."
Khushi pouted at her. Arnav's DON'T THINK 0F ME didn't let her sleep last night. As she felt last, she couldn't wake up earlier.
She dialed Arnav's number immediately to fight with him. Arnav just came out of the washroom and took the mobile. He attended the call smilingly. Before he said anything,
"It's because of you...."
Arnav pulled the phone from his ear jerking.
"What because of me?"
"I was unable to sleep last night...."
"Why Khushi?" He asked smilingly as he guessed what could have happened.
"Didn't you say DON'T' THINK OF ME?"
"Haan.... I did..."
"That's why I didn't sleep."
"I didn't get it"
He said controlling his smile. What he expected would happen.
"I was thinking about what you said. Why did you say like that?"
"I said DON'T THINK OF ME. You did completely opposite to what I said. Then why do you scold me? You may scold only if you had followed my words. but you didn't... there is no logic of scolding me. Khushi"
"Isn't it....?" she bit her nail.
"It is..."
"Haan... Why do I scold you?"
"IT's you, who should answer the question."
Khushi pouted.
"Ok... tell me what did you think of me?"
"I was thinking about why you don't want me to think of you"
Arnav laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
"you are such a funny bundle, Khushi... I knew you will do so..."
"Did you intentionally do that?"
