Chapter Three (English translations)
Wars and Confessions
"Arnavji, wake up" Khushi wriggled under his grip but he just tightened his hold
on her waist, grunted in response and resumed sleep.
"I want to go, leave me..."
"Shut up Khushi and sleep. You are going nowhere" her mouth snapped open in
astonishment in a perfect -O-. Here she was, stuck under this arrogant... Laad
Governor; calling upon Devi Mayya for help hoping she wouldn't miss the morning
aarti. She squirmed under him some more trying to loosen his hold on her but
after a whole ten minutes she was annoyed.
Desperate times called for desperate
measures.
She grabbed the first thing lying on the bedside cabinet and sniggered.
Well, well, look what I just found.
She pulled out her phone from under the pillow after she completed her
'task' and clicked a photo. Never could
she miss such an opportunity after all she was Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh
Raizada. She lifted the 'dhai kilo ka
haath' pinning her down and left sniggering.
The poor victim slept on unaware of his wife's revenge for making her late for
the aarti.
*****
His holiness descended the staircase just as they left the mandir after the
aarti ready for his jogging when he noticed two anomalies.
1. Instead of the usual 'good morning' the whole family
burst into laughter even his Nani.
2. His wife was moving backwards away from him trying to
hide behind Di.
"What?" he inquired as his eyes followed Khushi around the living room.
"Chote, what does LG mean?" his Di asked amidst giggles, knowing very well what it
stood for.
"Why?"
"Arnav bitwa, when have you developed an interest in make up?" his Mami
commented.
"What make up?" even as the words left him he caught his reflection in one of
the French windows and his eyes widened in shock.
"What the-"
"Nannav mere bhai -"
Another "What the-" escaped his lips and he rolled his eyes at that familiar greeting. This was just what
was needed, another spectator to his plight and none another than NK.
"What is this? Yeh tumne kya kiya?" he added in his heavily accented sing song
hindi "kya yeh ek naya fashion he kya?."
"Hammare javab ka
saval to do! (question my answer please)" he added when he got no reply.
Another fit of giggles ensued as the family greeted their newest and highly
adored member, Nandkishore or NK. The distraction of the family upon his entry
gave him enough time to pull his wife away from the crowd and into the room.
"What the hell Khushi! What did you do?" he pointed to his face and she burst into
laughter.
In her irritation she had grabbed her lipstick from the dressing table and
written LG on his forehead, in red. What she had not realized was that her
husband may not check his reflection in the mirror before leaving for his jog.
"Sorry Arnavji. I didn't realize you would leave without checking yourself in the mirror' " her
words remained incomplete at the incredulous expression on his face.
With an
"unbelievable" he stormed
into the bathroom for a shower.
******
He had to get back at her for this.
He thought of hundreds of the pranks he had played upon an unsuspecting Akash
or sometimes even his Di but he knew Khushi could catch upto his plan. He just
needed one weakness and he would clinch the deal.
"Payal, what is Khushi scared of the most?"
"Amma" she replied unsure of where this discussion was going.
"Other than her, you know maybe a cockroach?"
"Yes, why?"
"Tell me, is she
scared of cockroaches?" his interest piquing.
"No. Are you planning on taking revenge..." she trailed off scrutinizing her brother-in-law.
"Payal don't you want to get back at her for all that mischief for once. You
know!" he looked at her hoping he had made the right decision of involving
Payal, an accomplice was always useful.
Payal studied him for a moment; she had to agree it was fun prospect to prank
on Khushi for once rather than the other way around.
"You don't have to do much." He urged as she did not deny the deal.
"And I can record it if you like. We can replay it anytime we want. Come on
Payal!" he added.
"Lizards, she is scared of them."
"Thanks Payal. I will let you know when and where. Deal"
"Deal"
was Payal's only reply.
********
"Khushi please take his tub and water the plants on the terrace" Payal called
behind her sister as she worked in the kitchen.
"Ji, Jiji, Just a minute"
Khushi made her way to the terrace carrying a tub laden with fertilizer and
water singing her trademarked song,
"Aaj mausam hai sunhana,
Aaj pedho ko paani pilane ka hai bahana
What the- What the- Aaahhh"
Her song was cut short as an ear splitting shriek erupted from her mouth at the
tiny scaly reptile sat on the door frame. In her fear, she had tried to make a
run for it and the tub had overturned on her. She was soaked to the T in muddy
water and screaming her lungs out frozen due to fear till she heard familiar
laughter erupt from behind her and the end of the staircase.
"Jiji? Arnavji? Lizard!!!!"
Arnav made his way around her and pealed the reptile of the door frame easily
and tossed it on her as a
finale and
another set of screams issued forth as she hopped and turned mostly on one leg.
It is just that if a task involves Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, it can
never go as predicted. There are always glitches.
As Khushi hopped on one leg trying to fight the 'monster' that lay well away
from her, immobile on the floor, she slipped. She shut her eyes and braced
herself for the hard fall to be encased in a strong pair of arms. (and Rabba Ve
bellowed from the heavens above)
"Arnavji"
"Khushi are you alright?"
She pushed at his chest creating a distance between them, "How can you do such a thing? Now, where is that lizard?"
"Khushi, it was a
fake."
"Khushi, are you alright?" her Jiji ascended the stairs concern etched on
her face.
"Jiji, you teamed up with him. You are my sister right!"
"Sorry Khushi!" her Jiji apologized, "but it was fun to trouble you" she added grinning.
"No problem Jiji. But I don't want to talk to you!" she whipped around
pointing at him, while he just rolled his eyes at her.
*****
It had already been a week since he resumed office but he could not get used to
it. It was boring and erring silent after spending nearly a month with Khushi.
He wished to throw a paper weight at the glass windows that demarcated his
cabin to get rid of the silence. He wondered how he could have survived
countless hours in his office before!
As he drew up a table to mark a set of changes in his life, he realized the
arrogant bachelor Arnav Singh Raizada had transformed into a more calculative,
patient and happy Arnavji. He was a family man now!

As he made his way at 6'o clock sharp into his room, he had not expected the
sight that greeted him. His Khushi was crying! He had not seen her cry since
the fateful night of her waking up and after his discovery today, her each tear
felt like a million knives directed at his heart.
"Kushi! Ssshhh' stop crying!"
he hugged her to himself bringing her close
to his heart.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you?"
She nodded her head in a negative against his chest.
"Then what's wrong?" he asked in a soft whisper hoping she was not thinking
about 'that day'.
"Nothing. It's ok" she said breaking from the embrace and wiping her tears.
"No, it's not. Tell me what's wrong!" he held her hand as she tried to leave
and pulled her back to the bed.
"I...I... I was watching an old video of us."
"Which video and why were you crying?"
She looked away as she said the following words, "The video of the
Heer- Ranjha and-"
"And?" he encouraged her to continue as memories of that day came back mostly
his abhorrent behavior later.
"I wondered about the last lines.." she made to leave once again as fresh tears
made their way down her cheeks. She had never intended to bring that up but she
wanted to know what he had left unsaid because those words had not been a part
of the script, it was what he had felt for her.
"Jab jo bura kahaan uska koi matlab
nahi,
Jab jo buraa kiya..uska koi matlab nahi
iss pyaar mein sahi aur galat ka koi matlab nahi,
bas ek cheez ka matlab hain,
ki mein hameshaa hameshaa tumse pyaar karta tha,
Aur hameshaa karta rahunga!"
Whatevr ill I spoke, it means nothing,
whatever wrong i committed, it means nothing,
Right or wrong hold no meaning in Love,
only one thing holds importance,
that I have loved you forever and ever,
and I will love you forever!!!
"I love you Khushi!"
