Chapter two
20 minutes later Shashi and Garima Gupta were waiting for the phone to ring so they could speak to their daughter and son, when the door bell rang. 'Are, who has come, Garima was you expecting any guests''no i didn't call anyone i wonder who it is. You wait i will go and see' Garima went to the door and Shashi followed. But what she saw made here stumble a few steps back as tears rolled down her face.
'GARIMA!!!' Shashi caught her and helped her stand straight then looked towards the door. 'hey Devi Mayyia what the hell happened to you two and when did you get back' At the doors stood Arnav with a cut on his head and a piece of Khushi's dupatta wrapped around his upper left arm. His right arm helped support Khushi as she could barely walk properly due to the wound on her leg. 'Arnav what happened to you' asked Garima not hiding the worry and fear on her voice.
'Papa can you help me take Khushi in' thats when both parents realised that they were still at the front door and slowly people were starting to gather around the house. 'Oh yes come on in son, Garima hurry up and call the doctor. we will talk later'. Garima went in to call the doctor. Shashi held Khushi's right arms and brought it around and rested her hand on his right shoulder just like Arnav had done with her left and held her around the waist and help her walk in to her bedroom and rested her on the bed. Arnav was just about to get up when he felt Khushi tug his hand. He turned back and saw the fear in her eyes.
Shashi had observed this and intervened. 'Arnav beta you to sit down with her on the bed and please ring home and talk to them, Anjali has been worried sick, she had called twice before you answered my phone call, but i hadn't had time to ring her and tell her i spoke to you' 'haan Arnav please you call Di and tell her you are fine na, she must be really worried for you' 'okay hold on' Arnav took out his phone and waited for it to turn on. Once it had turned on he rang Anjali.
Since then shashi and Garima had been quietly waiting for the doctor and Arnav and Khushi had just held each other whilst Arnav talked to Anjali, Shashi stood by the bed looking at them, lost in his thoughts, trying to work out what had happened to them in the four days that they had been out on a business trip. Although the doctor only took 5 minutes Garima felt they it was like hours, so when the doctor arrived she wasted no time and dragged the doctor into the house and to the bedroom, whilst briefing the doctor.
'Doctor Sahab, come on in...Mrs Gupta what happen when you called you sounded extremely worried...yes doctor, Khushi and Arnav have been injured, please come on in' Garima lead the doctor to Khushi's bedroom and entered just as Arnav cut the call, startling everyone in the room.
Shantivan
Riazada household was very quiet, since Arnav and Khushi had left for their business trip to London, although not many of the members were complaining. Anjali Jha was one of them you couldn't be more happier. But she was upset that Arnav wasn't there. She and Payal were sat in her bedroom when Anjali decided to approach the topic of Arnav and Khushi.'Its extremely quiet na without Chote and Khushi here, i wish he could just take a few days of work just to spend some time at home.' She said to Payal.'hmm Di it is, but Bhai has taken lots of time off since he married Jiji, he even works at home sometimes' 'haan true but since he has got married he has forgotten us, see he didn't even call once since he and Khushi left for London'
'Di how can you say that, he had forgotten us before Jiji came into his life, he had forgotten us when he used to spend day and night in his office, when he had dinner alone at odd times of the night, when we left for work before anyone else was up, when sometimes he would stay in the study designing no stop, when he worked like a robot and never have time to go out with us, he had forgotten us then Di.' She paused wiping her tears 'but since he met Jiji everything fell into place, he started opening up, smiling, talking to us, spending time at home, he doesn't stress with work as much because Jiji helps him and she is the perfect Bahu too, cooking, cleaning, she juggles it all, even i cant do it', and as for not phoning I'm sure Bhai and Jiji are busy they will call soon you see' she chuckled 'see Di, look at me I'm just sitting here rambling and its time for Akash and Jiju to get home, i will go make them tea okay you sit here and rest' She tucked Anjali in the bed and left her in her thoughts.
I am sorry Payal but what your saying isn't true. My chotte was fine before that good-for-nothing girl came and trapped him in her web along with Arash and you. But she won't fool me, i know what she is up to and i will not let her succeed. First she will try and win everyone's heart then she will stab is in the back. But I will not let that happen. I have to think of something i cant let her stay with chotte for long'
She was brought out of her trance when she heard her phone ring. She picked up the phone and saw 'Chotte' flash on the screen and her face was instantly adorn with a smile.
'Hello, Chotte live a long life, i was just thinking of you. How are you, it's been 4 days and you didn't even bother calling me hmm, i was so worried'. Anjali said in one breath not allowing Arnav to even say 'hello'. 'Di will you let me speak at least' 'yes yes I'm sorry' 'Thank you and I'm sorry we couldn't call but we were busy, how are you and the baby'. 'I'm fine and the baby is fine too, your jiju took us to the doctors yesterday for a scan and the baby is health', at the mention of Shyam's name a frown settled on his face involuntarily and decided to change the subject. 'Thats brilliant Di anyways i called to tell you that our trip was cut short and we will be back home tomorrow'. ' Really!!' She exclaimed.'yes Di we are and i need to talk to you about something very important too' he stressed on the words 'very important' which Anjali brushed aside the fact that he wanted to talk to her about something very important and made a mental note to proceed with getting Khushi out of his life, 'and Di please don't tell anyone i want to surprise them all including Sh...Jiju, promise?' 'Yes baba i promise okay' 'thank you Di. See you tomorrow' 'Bye Chotte' and she put down the phone.
Anjali was extremely happy after the phone call and was just waiting for the rit time to tell her husband. even though she promised not to tell anyone, she couldnt hide anything from her husband. So after dinner when everyone had retired to there rooms Anjali decided to bring up the subject.
