Khushi: Dont worry jiji, I mixed some powder from Buaji's sleeping pill in both Amma's and Buaji's tea so they'll have a long peaceful sleep tonight.
Payal: But..but what if the neighbours or anyone see anything Khushi?
Khushi: Jiji stop being a coward.. or it is that you want to see my face and not Akash ji's (Khushi asked teasingly)
Payal: Khushii stop teasing me now (lightly pulling Khushi's cheek). When you meet the person you love one day, I will tease you sooo much that you'll regret teasing me
Just as Payal said that, Arnav's face came in Khushi's mind and she was lost in his thoughts
Payal: Khushi what are you dreaming about now? We don't have much time. They'll be here anytime
Khushi: They? What do you mean they? I thought only Akashji was coming
Payal: Khushi were you even listening to what I was telling you a few minutes back? Akashji could not get out of the house alone so Arnavji had to make some excuse. And you know anyways Naniji or no one can say no to him. So he'll be coming too as so will Nandakishoreji
Khushi: Hai Devi Maiya!!! Jiji Ladd governer is coming?? Why didn't you tell me before?? How will I hide from him?
Payal: Khushi why do you have to hide from him pagli
Khushi: IDEA!!! I will climb the tree outside out house. I will be able to see everyone but nobody will be able to see me!!! That way Laad Governer wont see me
Payal: Khushi have you gone mad? Climing tree's at this age?
Khushi: I will do anything to win the challenge
Payal: What challenge?
Khushi: jiji stop asking too many questions and get ready for AKashji
Payal Blushes
Payal: But Khushi, atleast remove Buaji's Shaadi Ka Zoda before climbing the tree IF you really do climb it
Khushi: uff jiji it already took me sooo long to wear it and adjust it with the pins so I'm not removing it
In the Car, ASR was wondering what he got himself into. Now he would lose his own challenge to Khushi. But in his heart he was very eager to see her although he couldn't understand why.
Khushi climbed the tree with such ease that you would think she had been climbing trees everyday. She sat comfortably on the top branch and admired the view of the sky dazzled with the stars. She would wish her Amma and Bauji Happy new year first today, as she always had been doing the rest of these years.
She heard a noise of a car driving into the compound and quickly stopped humming to the tune of Jalebi Bai
As ASR got out of the car he immediately sensed her presence and looked around but could not see her. She however could see his every movement from the tree and she was trying her best to keep extremely silent. NK: Naanav you looking for something, or rather someone?
ASR: Who would I b looking for at this time? And since you're asking isn't there someone you'd like to see in Australia at midnight?
NK: Well nobody in Australia atm, but I came specially today to see Khushiji (He had felt the bond Between Arhi during the dance rehearsal and wanted to try bring ASR closer to Khushi by making him jealous)
ASR did not know why he was suddenly feeling really angry because NK wanted to see Khushi at midnight on NYE.
ASR: Khushi? why Khushi? You cant see her
NK: What do you mean I cant?
ASR: I mean..um she's not here atm
NK: But she cant have gone anywhere. She told me she would be at hope the whole day
ASR: What she told you that? So she wanted to see you too?
NK: um I dont know about that, but I guess so Naanav!! Bye I'm going to find Khushiji in the house
ASR was fuming with jealousy at this point and he just lost control of his mind for a couple of seconds and pulled NK towards him and lifted his fist to punch NK
NK knew his plan was working
Khushi was really worried that ASR was going to hit NK (and she knew ASR did not think when he was angry) and just as ASR's fist was almost reaching NK's jaw Khushi screamed from the tree: Arnavji STOP!!
It was as if her voice just froze his hand and immediately cooled his mind. He left NK's collar and turned around to look for Khushi but still could see her. He wondered if it was his imagination hearing her voice. Just as he was about to give up and let his mind think it was his imagination Khushi spoke again,
Khushi: Arnavji here, up on the tree
He looked up from where he heared her voice and thought he was still dreaming. How could she be up on a tree??
ASR (to himself): That girl has made me go mad
Khushi was just about to climb down the tree when her leg missed a branch and she was slipping down the tree rapidly
Khushi: Arnavji help!!! HELP
He turned around immediately at the sound of her voice, adrenaline rushing and ran towards the tree extending his arms to catch her in his arms.
Her eyes were closed when she feel into his arms
ASR: Khushi are you okay? Khushi talk to me
Open your eyes Khushi
Khushi: Arnav ji (in a soft voice) slowly opening her eyes
*intense eyelock* Rabba Ve... Rabba Ve
ASR: Dont ever scare me like that. What if something happened to you?
Khushi: How does it matter Arnavji?
ASR: It does Khushi.. It does matter dammit. You matter more to me than anything else in this entire world.
Khushi: Is this a dream Arnavji?
Nk had witnessed this whole encounter and had tears of happiness in his eyes
NK: Yo desi Girl!! YOu're not dreaming!!
