Chapter 8
While Kushi was putting the final touches on the dessert, she looked at everything. "Everything looks perfect" she thought to herself and smiled. She had made a special "sugar free" batch of everything for "Him" as well. "It's not like he's going to touch it. How would he? He still thinks I'm not good enough for that Kishore guy"
Anjali slowly walked over to her and smiled.
"Kushi, I need to discuss some of the party plans with you"
"Ok Anjali Di, what needs to be done"
"Well everything is done. The food, decor and entertainment has been arranged, but I need to get Payal and Akash out of the house for the day. I need you to take them out somewhere. Maybe to get some of the things for the baby"
"Ok Anjali Di no problem. I can do that. Anyway I wanted to get some jewellery made for my little niece and Jiji, so I can take them out so that to get all of that done" The doctor had said that Payal was having a healthy baby girl and Kushi was excited at the thought of spoiling the little princess.
"Yes that would be good. I need them out of the house for at least 3 hours"
"Ha Anjali Di. Also I need to pick up something for the party for myself, so I can do that too. We will leave tomorrow after lunch and hopefully that will give you the time you need to get everything ready. Please let me know if you need anything else Anjali Di"
"Oh no nothing else Kushi Ji. Also, Chote will be joining you guys. He's not one for being around the house when we're getting it ready and I don't need him storming around scaring everyone"
"But Anjali Di can't he go to work or something??"
"Kushi please don't continue doing this to yourself. My Chote is not a bad man. He's just got a temper. And he will be on his best behaviour I promise"
"Fine Anjali Di... Hey before you leave, can you please give this to him?" she asked Anjali pointing at the tray of sugar free sweets.
Anjali smiled at her fondly and was amazed by how thoughtful this young woman was despite being taunted by her brother. "He was a lucky man" she thought...
"Of course I will Kushi" she said while grabbing the tray and walking away.

"Chote I have something for you" Anjali said as she walked into her brother's room and looked at him gardening.
"What is it Di?"
"Sugar free sweets made for you by Kushi"
"I don't want any"
"Fine I will leave it here in any case. Anyway I need you to do something for me. We need to get all the party preprations going for the anniversary and I need to get the happy couple out of the house for a few hours. Kushi has agreed to take them shopping for the baby, but I need you to go with them as well. You know it's going to be noisy here and you hate that.."
Arnav walked over to his bed and sat down. Anjali decided to take a seat next to her brother who looked tormented. She knew he was about to retaliate and say that he didn't want to go, but she knew he wanted to as well. After all, Arnav has been ecstatic about becoming an uncle. He has ordered the best of everything for his Niece and since Kushi left, the news of the pregnancy was the only thing that had made him smile. And she knew that too. Also, a chance to spend some time away from Kushi was much needed.
"Chote, don't do this"
"Don't do what Di"
"Don't push away your only chance at being happy. I know you have a short temper, but your temper can't rule you. If you let this go now, you may never get it back.."
With that she stood up and walked away.
Arnav sat there staring at the tray of sweets and once he knew his sister was out of site, decided to have a bite of everything that was on the tray.
"She makes sweets for everyone. Even the big bad monster" he thought to himself with a smile on his face.. After finishing half the tray, he decided that he needed to get some sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day and he needed his energy.

Kushi decided to excuse herself from everyone and make it an early night. She was tired and she needed to get some work done before she called it a night. And more than anything else, she needed some quiet peace of mind. She walked into her room and got into her PJs and Kurti before she turned on her laptop and propped herself up on the bed. Suddenly she heard her name being called out. She got out of bed and walked over to her door and opened it.
"It sounds like "His" voice" she told herself and wondered what was going on. She saw that his door was not shut completely and decided to see what was going on. She peeped into see what's going on and realized that he kept saying her name over and over again. "Devi Maiyya what on earth is happening?" she asked herself as she continued to stare at the man that was saying her name in his sleep. Should she wake him up or just walk away?
____________________________
Meanwhile, Arnav's worst nightmare had come true. He was at home when Kushi walked in with a big bright smile on her face. She was with that idiot Nande Kishore and she looked ecstatic. The stupid man next to her looked like a total moron he thought. The rest of the family had been in the middle of dinner when she had walked in with this idiot, so everyone was there.
"Everyone, we have an announcement" Kushi said happily.
"Nanneh Ji just proposed and I said "Yes" We're getting married!!!!!!!!!!!"
There was shock around the table followed by a round of applause. Everyone was walking over to wish the couple.
Arnav suddenly stood up and yelled out and said "NO!!"
"What?" Everyone said looking around at him.
"You can't marry him" He yelled at Kushi as he walked toward her
"Why not? And why do you care about who I marry?"
He circled the couple while everyone stared at him in awe.
"Have you taken a good look at this man Kushi? And his stupid accent. How can you even think about marrying him??"
Nandhe Kishore stood stone faced. He knew Arnave back in school and he knew his temper as well. He wasn't going to say a word.
"I will marry whom ever I want too Arnav Singhe Raizada. Please butt out of my personal life"
"I dare you to try Kushi Kumare Gupta, because I am never going to let that happen"
With that he suddenly awoke. His forehead was beaded with sweat and he realized that it was just a dream.
"Just a dream thank god" he mumbled. As he was about to go back to sleep, he noticed a familiar face standing at his door peeping in.
He froze at the realization of who it was...
