Day 1 conti...

Payal and Aakash arrived back from shopping at the RM; they engrossed in gazing at each other and smiling. Anjali had just gotten off the phone with the caterers saw them coming in, "Did you guys get all the things you wanted?" She asked them with a smile. Both nodded their heads and smiled at her. Anjali checks the time and wonders why Khushi is still not back from AR. She prays to god that they did not get into another fight. She dials the number for AR and gets ahold of the receptionist. She asks her if a girl named Khushi was still there, but the receptionist tells her that she left 30 mins ago. Anjali thanks her and hangs up. She wonders why it took Khushi so long at the office. She bites inside of her jaw with worry.

At the AR office, Lavanya walks into Arnav's cabin, "ASR the photographer said that he will have the proofs of the shots ready in 2 days." Arnav looks up at her and nods his head. With that being said Lavanya excuses herself and exits the cabin when Arnav asks, "Did Ms. Gupta leave?" Lavanya turns around and calmly answers, "Yes ASR she did awhile back. Did you want to ask her something?" He shakes his head in a no and tells her to carry on with her work. He keeps on thinking about the deal he made with her regarding a favor. He clenches his jaw as he hated owing favors to anyone and that too when he is not aware of what the favor is going to be. He just hopes that it is not something drastic but knowing Ms. Khushi Kumari Gupta it will be. He shakes his head and goes back to typing in his laptop.

Khushi arrives back at RM with a happy-go-lucky smile on her face. She had to admit that she did have a nice time doing the shoot and all in all she ended up making a new good friend Lavanya ji. Arriving to Delhi and within one day she has a friend in the city. She kept on thinking how cheekily she had asked for a deal from the Prince of Darkness. She laughs at the memory and they way he way got frustrated in agreeing to the favor. She knew that she had use her favor card when the time was right because it seems like he always gets his way. Anjali sees Khushi walking in with a small smile on her face and wonders what has gotten her in such good mood. "Khushi you are back? What took you so long; I hope you and chote did not get into fight over there." She gives her a sorry look. Khushi shakes her head in a no, "Nahi Di we did not get into a fight, but wait till I tell you what happened." Anjali with curiosity peaked asks her to go on. Khushi with dramatic voice tells her what happened. Anjali with raised eyebrows could not believe that her brother was so calm even after Khushi told him off regarding how to treat his employees. Khushi with playful smiles says, "And you know what di, I asked him for a favor to do the shoot and he agreed." Anjali surprised that her brother agreed so easily asks, "He agreed without getting mad?" Khushi nods her head and says, "I know that Laad Governor always gets his way in things. So, I decided that when the time comes I will use the favor card on him." Both of them start laughing. "Khushi I just hope that when chote arrives home he is in a good mood. Oh by the way did you have a chance to talk to him about the decorators?" Anjali asks her as she rises up from the couch. Khushi shakes her head in a negative response, "Nahi di, everything happened so fast that I never got a chance to ask him. But when he comes home I will ask him then." Anjali nods her head.

Dinner time..

Everyone was seated at the dining table for dinner. Arnav had yet to come home from the office. It was nearly 8pm and he still was not home. Anjali started too worried and kept on looking at the time on her cell phone every 2 seconds. Aakash sees this and laughs, "Di I don't think that the time will drastically change," he gives her a smile and continues, "Bhai will be home soon. I know that the calendar photo shoot is very important so he must have gotten busy with that. Don't worry he will be home shortly." He tries to calm her nerves down. Anjali smiles at him and says, "I know Aakash, but sometimes he just forgets everything around him when is so engrossed in his work." She looks towards the door again hoping that he would be home soon. Her phone beeps alerting her to a new message from Arnav stating that he will be home in 10mins. She instantly breathes in sigh of relief and says, "He will be home in 10mins." Everyone starts to smile and say that they will wait for his arrival for dinner. Khushi who was extremely hungry thinks, "What! I have to wait for that stupid Laad Governor now. I have mini mice running around in my stomach and this guy uff." Payal notices the look on her sister's face elbows her and asks, "What is it?" Khushi shakes her head and slumps down in her chair with one of her head making circles around her tummy.

Arnav arrives home and apologizes for being late. He tells them they should have proceeded to eat without him and should not have waited. Nani with a smile says, "Nahi chote it is okay, why don't you go and freshen up we will have the food reheated again." He nods his head and makes his way towards his room. Khushi and Payal take the food back in the kitchen to reheat. Finally, everyone was seated and had started to enjoy their meal. Arnav look towards Khushi who was busy stuffing her mouth with food. It seemed like that Ms. Gupta was hungry as a pig. As if feeling someone staring at her Khushi tilts her head towards him and sees him staring at her. She gestures with her head as to ask what and he just shakes his head. He goes back to eating his meal; while Khushi shrugs her shoulders and starts to eat her food as well. After dinner, everyone was lounging in the leaving room. Anjali then asks, "Chote have talked to the decorators? You and Khushi are supposed to work together on that." She glances towards Khushi with a smile and then looks back to him. He was engrossed in typing a message in his phone that without looking at his sister he answers, "I already emailed them and told them the theme for the engagement." Khushi now fuming that without even consulting her he went ahead and finalized the theme, "How can you do that? I mean we were supposed to finalize the choice together." Arnav looks up from his phone with anger evident in his eyes and tells her, "We are not going to be finalizing anything. I have already done that." Khushi now mad at him was about to give him a piece of her mind when Payal held onto her wrist. Khushi looks at her sister, while Payal shakes her head as to remind her to be civil. Khushi gives up, slumps down in the couch, closes her eyes and tries to calm her nerves down.

Anjali looks at Khushi and back her brother, boy did she have her work cut out for her. These two were worse than children. It seems like that Khushi knows how to push his buttons and vice versa. She places her right hand on her brother's thigh and asks, "What is the theme that you have finalized chote?" Arnav turns to look at her sister and answers, "It is a Black and White theme Di." Hearing this Khushi jumps up from her seating position and yells, "Kya, black and White theme?" She looks at him baffled that he actually thought that the black and white theme for the engagement for appropriate. I mean for god sake it is an engagement party not a death wake. Everyone looks at Khushi with her sudden outburst at the mention of the theme. Anjali purses her lips together and knew that whatever is about to come is not going to be good. Arnav looks into Khushi's eyes and stares her down. One thing he relayed in that eyes of his were that he is not backing out, that this was his choice and what he says is final. Khushi too was not backing out as this was her Jiji's engagement party and to hell with what he says. "This is my choice Khushi Kumari Gupta, deal with it." Arnav tells her with stern voice. Khushi who was fuming with rage answers, "No, no dealing with it Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada what kind of theme is black and white?" She places both of her hands on her hips and gives him a heated glare, "I mean it is not someone's wake, but an engagement party of your brother and my sister," She looks at her sister and then back at him and he gets up from the couch with his jaw clenched. "Yes, I know you don't have to remind that it is my brother and your sister's engagement." Arnav tells her with equal heated stare. Anjali seating down looks towards the rest of the family and then back at the two fighting like cats and dogs. "Oh I am glad that you remember," she huffs at him, "Besides black and white theme is so blanch, we should have a colour full theme like blue, purple, pink and silver." She tells him with a smile. Arnav shakes his head knowing that of course she would want that, because judging from her attire she would want to have a colour full theme. "Not going to happen Gupta! The theme is finalized and that is that." Arnav tell her with a firm voice. She then thought about deal the favor and smiles at him. He is flabbergasted; he knew she was half mental, but right now she is definitely full on mental case, "What are you smiling about?" He raises his eyebrow and waits for reply. She claps her hands and says, "I am calling in the favor Mr. Raizada." That is all she had to say to him and at that moment he knew that there was not a damn thing he could do to change her mind. He looks at his phone and dials the number for the decorators, "Yeah this Arnav Singh Raizada. There are changes to be made for the theme," he looks over to Khushi who was glowing with happiness and smiling widely. He shakes his head and says, "Yeah I want you speak to person who is helping out with is." He passes his phone to her and lets out an exasperated sigh. Everyone was shocked to see that Arnav agreed to the changes of the theme so easily and wondered what Khushi meant by favor. Anjali smiles at Nani and thinks, "Don't you see chote, that she is the perfect girl for you. She did not back down from you and stood up to you." Arnav was seething with anger and could not believe that he agreed to this stupid favor. He turns on his heels and angrily stomps out of the room to go to his room.

He enters his room, bangs his room loudly and paces up and down. He clenches his hand into fist and says, "No one has ever dared to go against Arnav Singh Raizada, but damn this girl why do I let her get to me?" With a frustrated sigh he sits on the edge of his bed staring ahead towards the door. He did not like this person he was becoming, the soft guy he had to keep his persona intact and if that meant hurting Khushi Kumari Gupta then so be it. He then shakes his head and thinks of what he sister told him while back. Khushi was his mother's god child and she loved that girl like her own. It felt like he was fighting two sides of him inside the good and the bad. He was this ruthless, rude and arrogant Arnav Singh Raizada to the world, but the only other person he genuinely is nice to is his sister. She meant the world to him and nothing else mattered. But this girl was slowly creeping into his life and he did not like the feeling of it. He turns his head towards his balcony and garden when he hears a knock on the door. "Come in." He says and waits to see to who it was. As soon as the door opens he sees the bane of his anger and turmoil Khushi Kumari Gupta. He stands up from the bed and asks, "What the hell do you want?" He walks towards the French door of his balcony leading out to the pool. Khushi gulps down the saliva in her throat and follows him out towards the pool slowly. "I came to give you your phone back." She holds the phone out to him to take it, but he gestures with his head to drop it on the table. She does that and says, "I know that you are mad at me for calling out the favor, but need I remind you that you had agreed to it when I asked you for it." Arnav now really mad with anger comes closer to her in long strides, which makes her take a step back hastily and she ends up being cornered to a wall. "I told you before that I don't back out from my promise or deal that I make." He was breathing on her face heavily as his face was inches away from hers. She closes her eyes and opens them again. She looks into his eyes which told him everything that she knows and that does not doubt his promise.

She then smiles a little and says, "How about I make you a promise." Arnav now confused and wonders what she has gotten up her sleeve again steps back and asks, "What kind of promise?" Khushi takes a step forward and tells him with a smile, "I know that you wanted to use this theme you picked out for the engagement, however I changed that." Arnav still confused crosses both of his arms in front of his chest, "I already know that." Khushi notices that he is a very impatient man and laughs, "Look this is a special day for my sister and I wanted her to always remember this night forever. So, I stepped in and vetoed the change," she looks into his eyes and continues, "Coming back to the promise. If and when I ever get married in the future I give you full authority." Arnav tilts his head sideways and smirks at her, "Full authority as in whatever I decide goes?" She nods her head in agreeing with him. "Fine, if and when that does happen I decide the theme." He tells her and extends his hand out to shake. She shakes his hand and prays that he does not pick something awful just to make her pay for this. At the touch of his hand, she instantly feels the spark coursing through her body. She looks into his eyes and the rabba ve song is playing in the background. Arnav on the other hand was just as shaken up from the touch. They both let go and bid good nights to each other. He sees her walking out, shakes his head that to figure out Khushi Kumari Gupta is not an easy task. She is an enigma and he for one liked figuring out this puzzle.
