In the car, Khushi sitting in front with ASR
KKG (murmuring to herself) : Atleast Laad Governer will not say WHAT THE , WHAT THE today and ask me to get out of the car
ASR: Khushi did you say something??
KKG: Hum?? No..
NK: Naanav...
KKG: What did you call him???
NK: Naanav... I could call him Nana but he'd kill me for saying that so.. Naanav it is!!
KKG: Naanav heheheehe (bursting out into laughter)
NK starts laughing too and says Naanav Naanav many times like a chant
ASR glares at Khushi
KKG pinches herself to stop laughing
KKG: But my nickname for him is much better NK, L.. (just as she is about to say the full Laad Governer she stops as if its just her's and ASR's personal secret) its LG!!!
NK: LG?? Is that a short form for something
Khushi: That I cannot tell you, its a secret
ASR thankful to Khushi for not blurting it out or else NK would have teased him for life with that Nick name.. But in his head he still couldn't believe that that was what Khushi called him
ASR: Enough of what you guys call me. There's better things to do
NK: But Naaanav (stretching the a's) , I need to find out what LG means... Could it be Lord Gorilla.. Legend...Living gangster
Khushi starts giggling at the suggestions of what LG could mean
ASR just decides to ignore both of them but is agitated by the fact that Khushi is Joining forces with NK and teasing him
NK: ahhh I got it!!!!
KKG: Love God!!!
KKG: hahahahahaha Love God, and him??? Hahahah .. he doesn't believe in Love
ASR( in his mind thinking: Khushi, I'll show you how much I believe in Love): ENOUGHH!!!!
Both KKG and NK jumped up in their sits due to his loud angry voice
NK: Naanav, you still get as angry as you use to
KKG: Yeahh he's always angry, angry, angry..
ASR: Khushi, you're talking to Nandakishore as if you've known him for agesss
NK: Naanav, Its NK.. and plus, whats so wrong with her talking to me?? We're both having a good laugh
ASR(trying to cover up from sounding jealous): Yeah I don't care who she talks to, chatterbox she is. Atleast it'll save me from answering her day long chatter.. Anyways we've reached the shopping mall
NK: Lets go Khushi, naanav u coming bro?
ASR: Giving him a *what the, ofcourse I'm coming look*
Khushi: Lets go NK before he gets angry and starts saying WHAT THE what the loudly here
ASR: WHAT THE Khushi?
Khushi: see see!!!
Then both Khushi & NK start laughing together
NG: YAY atleast I have support now to tease out dear naanav here, right Khushiji???
Khushi: hehee (catches ASR giving her & NK angry looks & starts walking)
ASR is extremely annoyed by the fact that Khushi is continuously pairing up with NK and not giving him (ASR) any importance or even acknowledging his presence apart from the ongoing teasing..
He's getting jealous that Khushi's talking more with NK
ASR: shall we go???
As they enter the mall, most of the staff know ASR therefore greet him respectfully and all acknowledge him
NK: wow Naanav, you're quite famous now aren't ya?
Khushi: he's not famous, all of those people are just scared of him (whispering into NK's ear) then both start giggling again
ASR: Khushi what are you telling him??
Khushi: Nothing Arnavji, Nothing..
ASR to himself: Unbelievable both of them
ASR: Nandakishore, Since we've come shopping why don't you just choose your clothes for the cocktail party as well today?? And the sangeet.. Saves you coming again and again (and me facing all the teasing *to himself*)
NK: Ahh thats a good idea, atleast Khushi can help me choose something.. wont you Khushi??
Khushi: hum??
NK: yeahh, ofcourse i wont ask Naanav here to help me choose something for me as he only wears suits
ASR: I only wear suits?
Khushi: yeahh you do
ASR: Well who said I'll b wearing a suit to the Sangeet?
Khushi: then??? (confused as she'd only really seen him in a suit)
ASR: I'll be wearing a Sherwani (he said this to get Khushi's attention )
Khushi looks at him with an extremely shocked face
Khushi: U.. wearing a Sherwani??
ASR: whats there to be so shocked at Khushi Kumari Gupta??
NK (interrupting) : That is something you don't get to see everyday.. yeah Khushi?? Go try a couple Naanav..
ASR: (He hadn't really intended on trying any nor had he even thought of ever wearing one, but if it made him get Khushi's attention for some time there was no harm doing so) I think I'll do just that Nandakishore.
Khushi: (she was trying to picture him in a sherwani but coudn't really imagine it and was very eager to see him in one) Since you've never really worn one, I'll help you choose a couple!
ASR ( he smiled to himself knowing Khushi was dying to see him in a sherwani and he had finally got her attention): Ok
NK: Guys I just saw some shoes way up that end which I really fancy. I'll go check them out while you two choose sherwani's okay?
ASR was more then okay with that
ASR: yeah fine
Khushi: Should I come with you??
ASR: You said you're gna help me choose right? Then, u're goin with...? *with a slightly sad look*
Both NK and Khushi looked at him and he realized how he must have sounded like he wanted Khushi to stay so he covered up: I mean, you said you know more about those type of clothes ryt?
Khushi: NK, you go.. I'll help him choose first then help you later kayy!
NK: Alright Khushi (with a smile), Naanav I'll b waiting to see u in a sherwani!e and Khushi
ASR (yay finally me n Khushi alone without NK- ASR to himself): Shall we go Khushi?
Khushi was busily looking at different Sherwani's while ASR was just standing watching her
Khushi finally found a couple she liked
Khushi: This one!! This one!! (in excitement) at a Deep blue Ocean coloured Sherwani
ASR looked up at her face, lost in her beautiful smiling face for a few seconds before he felt a tap on his hand
ASR: what the???
Khushi: What the Nahi, Wear wear
ASR: yeah I'm going to try, I can see how impatient you r to see me in a sherwani
Khushi: Me impatient? No.. I don't need to see you in a sherwani (lying to hide how much she really wanted to see him in a sherwani). I was just helping you choose one. You can see yourself and admire yourself. I'm going to help NK
ASR: (to himself: Oh god, how do I stop her now) Khushi wait.. I need you to help me choose between the Black and the Blue one
Khushi: Obviously blue, It suits you the best!!
ASR: gives her a *you know me so well look*
Khushi: I mean.. um.. Anjaliji was saying its your favourite colour
ASR: Ok I'm going to try the blue one
He comes out with it looking extremely handsome and Khushi is just blown away by that image
ASR trying to read Khushi's face and is happy with her response at his look
Khushi: You don't look at all like a Laad Governer at all in the Sherwani, you look very handsome..
ASR: um (now feeling slightly shy)thanks
Both have an eyelock + rabba ve moment
Khushi realizes how much she's staring at him and looks down
ASR tells the attendant to pack the blue Sherwani
NK is back
NK: Oh god, I missed seeing him in a Sherwani. Khushi how did he look??
Khushi: (Not wanting to express how hot she found him in a sherwani ): Just like a cartoon
ASR doesn't say anything as both him and Khushi know exactly how she felt about him in the Sherwani.
NK: Khushi, don't you need to shop for anything??
Khushi: (thinking about how expensive everything must be in this mall) No, i'm fine thank you
Arnav reading her mind: Guys everything all of you shop for is on me today, as a celebration for PayAsh engagement
Khushi remembering the shopping trip with LA and what ASR had sayed about the sari and her not being able to afford it, how hurt she had felt, and how hurt she still was at his behaviour that day: No thanks, I don't want to buy anything
NK: Khushi, How about a dress for the cocktail party??
Khushi's mood seemed to have saddened after the flashbacks of how ASR had treated her that week, first with that necklace then the sari: Um I don't know if I will be coming to the party or not
ASR (wondering why Khushi did not want to come and was upset at hearing that and already cooking up a plan to get her to come)
NK: WHAT?? You not coming??? Then the party will be really boring without you
She glanced at ASR to see his reaction
ASR: You'll have to come, it is being held on your sister's honour
Khushi: I'll decide myself. And plus jiji will not mind me not coming, she already knows how happy I am for her
ASR( to himself): But I mind dammit
NK: Khushi, I'm not taking no for an answer.. You have to come thats all!!! Infact, Khushi will you be my date for the Party?? I'll b really upset if you refuse
Khushi: hum aapki date
NK: yeahh I mean we go as friends together!! I don't really know many people around here yet, so without you the party will be really boring
Khushi: um.. (thinking to herself that NK would feel left out) ok
NK: Yay!!!
ASR felt a big pang of jealousy and also more hurt at how easily Khushi had agreed to NK's request..
He was also very angry at NK for stealing his Khushi, so to get even he said
ASR: Nandakishore, I'm sorry Khushi cannot be your date. As both me and Khushi were responsible for getting PayAsh together, since Khushi has now decided to come, she shall be hosting the party with me or the guests will find it very fishy that there's no one from the girls side to welcome them.
He then gave a *I win again* smirk to Khushi
NK: Not realizing that ASR was actually moving him away from Khushi agreed : you're right about that actually, the guests need to be welcomed frm both sides
The day of the cocktail party:
Khushi decided to wear the dress Lavanya had given her as Anjali had told her that everyone wears western type of clothes at such parties
ASR had already told buaji that he would pick Khushi & Payal for the party (as he knew Khushi would just have told him no otherwise)so how could Khushi have argued with buaji?
ASR waits inside the Gupta house and Khushi's door opens suddenly
ASR's eyes are automatically drawn towards Khushi's room and he is mesmerized by the sight of Khushi in the dress and how beautiful she looks in it. He cannot just take his eyes of her..
Khushi see's him staring at her and blushes and starts feeling a bit conscious
An intense eyelock with RABBA VE playing
THE END 😈
