There was a sharp knock on the door.
"Khushi bhabhi..." ,Hari Prakash called for the second time,slightly worried.
She looked at the door and then proceeded to unbutton the shirt.
Then came another knock and a louder call from HP.
"Aa rahe hain Hari Prakashji!" she replied as she threw the shirt on the bed.
A sigh escaped her mouth as she stared at the white shirt and then turned away to open the door.
Khushi: Kya hua?Humne aapse kaha na humein bhookh nahi hai.Naa hi humein chay peeni hai.
HP: Anjali ji aur naniji aapko neeche bula rahi hai,woh sareewale bhaiyya aaye hain.Naniji ne kehelvaya hai ki aap neeche jakar apne liye saree pasand kar lijiye.
Khushi: Unse kahiye hum kuch der me aa rahe hain.
As she was about to close the door,HP interrupted her.
HP: Areh bhabhi,hum kehna bhool gaye,Anjali ji ne kaha ki unhone poolside table par apni aarti ki kitaab rakhi hai,unhe abhi uski zaroorat hai. Toh hum?..
Khushi stepped aside: Le lijiye...
As HP was about to exit the room,his eyes fell on Arnav's favourite white shirt lying on the bed.
HP: Yeh Arnav bhaiyya ki safed shirt istri karni hai kya?
Khushi: Ji nahi.
HP: Toh, dhone k liye de de?
Khushi: Nahi Hari Prakashji,hum dekh lenge humein shirt ka kya karna hai,aap jaiyye!
HP nodded solemnly and stepped out of the room.
Khushi: Hari Prakashji,rukiye!
Khushi softened up upon seeing his downcast face.
Khushi: Humein maaf kar dijiye,humein aapse aise baat nahi karni chahiye thi. Woh.. humara sir dard kar raha hai toh..
HP: Koi baat nahi,hum samajhte hain.Waise,aapse ek baat kahe?
Khushi:Ji, kahiye?
HP: Aapne aise daanta toh.. humein Arnav bhaiyya ki yaad aa gayi!
The faint smile immediately vanished from Khushi's face.
HP: Bahut din ho gaye hain unki daant sune huye.. Hum..
Khushi: Hari Prakashji, di intezar kar rahi hongi,unse kahiye hum aa rahe hain..
HP nodded and left.
No sooner had she closed the door than she ran to the bed and crushed the shirt,his shirt to her chest.
Khushi: Poore 18 ghante ho gaye hain aapse baat kiye huye. Aapko yaad bhi hai ki do din baad kya hai?
She looked at the shirt and then threw it on the bed in mock anger.
Khushi(looks at the shirt) :Agar aap do din me wapas nahi aaye na toh hum.. (tears well up in her eyes) Hum.. hum..
She is interrupted by the ringtone of her cellphone.
"Arnavji!!" Khushi beams as her husband's name flashes on the screen.
Controlling the urge to bombard him with questions,she answers the phone with a "hmmm", spoken in a rude,unfriendly tone.
Arnav: What the..!?
Even as she smiles upon hearing the trademark what the...?!she keeps her tone unfriendly and answers..
Khushi( dramatically): Kya matlab hai is what the kaa?
Arnav: Kya matlab tha tumhare hmm ka?
Khushi: Wahi jo aap kabhi nahi samjhe aur na kabhi samjhenge!
Arnav: Khushi,stop the nonsense!
Khushi: Waah,waah! Ise kehte hain utla chor kotwal ko daante! Mr. Raizada,humein aapko daantna chahiye,uske bajaay aap humi ko daant rahe hain?
She is unable to control herself and thus the dam of questions breaks.
Khushi: Aapko pata nahi hai kya ki London k naam se hi humein kitna dar lagta hai? Pichli baar jab aap wahan jaane k liye nikle the toh kya-kya nahi hua tha! Hey Devi Maiyya! Ek toh pehle hi hum dare huye hai,oopar se aap hai ki aapni waapsi postpone kiye jaa rahe hain! Aur phir aap phone bhi nahi karenge,toh humari haalat kaisi ho jayegi,sochiye?
Arnav: I know,m sorry Khushi!M so,so sorry!
Khushi:Kal raat k baad aapne phone kyun nahi kiya? Phone toh door raha,aapne message bhi nahi kiya.Pehle toh aap har do-teen ghanto me ek baar phone karte the,picchle hafte se aapke phone kam ho gaye hain.Aisa kyun?Aaj ka din kaise guzara hmne pata hai?Kuch andaza hai ki hum aapke phone ka kitna intezaar kar rahe the? Raat bhar so nahi paaye hum..
Arnav: Khushi,calm down, okay?
Khushi: Calm down! Ek hi jawab hai aapke paas humari har shiqayat k liye,hai na?
Arnav: Khushi,listen,main kal raat bahut thak gaya tha isiliye room me aate hi so gaya. Aaj subha jab utha tab maine realize kiya ki main meeting k liye late ho gaya hoon isiliye tumhe phone karne ka time nahi mila.Aur ab jab meeting khatam ho gayi hai aur mujhe finally time mil gaya hai tab tum mujhse theek se baat nahi kar rahi ho.
Khushi: Kyun kare hum aapse baat? Kuch yaad bhi hai aapko ki do din baad kya hai?
Arnav: Ha Khushi,mujhe yaad hai ki do din baad hamari shaadi ki pehli anniversary hai. I promise, main us din tumhare saath,tumhare paas rahunga,okay?
Khushi: Maaf kijiyega Arnavji, lekin picchle kuch dino me aapne kayeen waade kiye aur phir unhe tod diya, isiliye is baar hum aap par bharosa nahi kar sakte!
Arnav: Ok fine,toh tum Aman se baat..
Khushi(interrupts): Naam bhi mat lijiye unka humare saamne!
Arnav: Kyun? Usne kya kiya?
Khushi: Jab bhi unse poochhte hain ki Amanji, aap aur Arnavji kab laut rahe hain,har baar alag jawab dete hain! Pehle kaha,Khushi bhabhi, 11 din baad hum laut aayenge..
Arnav: Wait! Usne tumhe bhabhi kaha?
Khushi (bites her lower lip): A.. haa. Aapki gairhaazri me woh humein bhabhi hi kehte hain!
Arnav grits his teeth.
Khushi: Woh sab rehne dijiye. Hum keh rahe the ki woh kabhi sahi jawab nahi dete humein! Pehle kaha hum 11 din baad aayenge, phir kaha nayi deal finalize huyi hai,toh 25 din lag jayenge. Aap 12 tareek ko gaye the yahan se,aaj 6 tareek hai,ho gaye 25 din! Aaj unse poocha kab aa rahe hain aaplog,toh kehte hain, do aur deals sign ki hai sir ne, toh 10-15 din lag jayenge, samajh lijiye 22 tareek tak hum pahuch hi jayenge!
Arnav smiled as he thought how well Khushi could ijmitate Aman!
Khushi: Humein zara bhi vishwas nahi hai, na aap ki baat par na unki baat par! 22 tareek abhi 15 din door hai, humse utna intezar nahi hoga! Aap agar saalgirah wali raat tak nahi aaye na toh..
Arnav: Toh!? toh kya,Khushi?
Khushi: Saza aap khud chun lijiye. Hum raat 12 bajne tak aapka intezaar karenge. Aap aa gaye toh theek aur na aaye toh..
Arnav: Na aaya toh tum buaji k yahan chali jana aur 22 tak wahi rehna! Main na tumse milne aaunga,na tumse baat karunga na message karunga! Its my word!
Khushi(thinks): Yeh kaisi saza hai! Yeh saza aap khud ko de rahe hain ya humein de rahe hain?
Arnav: Aur agar aa gaya,toh I promise, I'll make it the happiest day of ur life! Aur phir tumhe woh karna hoga jo main kahunga. Lagi shart?
Khushi: Lag gayi! Humein haarne ka shauk toh nahi hai,lekin phir bhi,is baar hum dil se haarna chahte hain!
Arnav: Main bhi yahi chahta hoon Khushi. I promise,yeh tumhari life ki sabse khoobsoorat haar hogi,jaise sangeet wali haar meri life ki sabse khoobsoorat haar thi!
Khushi blushes as she hears that.
Arnav: Ek second,hold karo.
Khushi: Arnavji? Kya hua?
Arnav: Khushi,mujhe lunch k liye jana hai,let me call u back.
Khushi: Mat jaiyye!
Arnav: Khushi,I have to go. Shehnaz ma'm mera wait kar rahi hongi.
Khushi gets really angry upon hearing the name.
Khushi: Aapne aur Amanji ne kya yeh Shehnaz ma'm k naam ki ratt lagayi hui hai? Jab dekho tab Shehnaz ma'm woh,Shehnaz ma'm yeh.. Kabhi-kabhi toh humein dar lagta hai ki..
Arnav: Ki?
Khushi: Ki kahin.. aap... woh...
Arnav: What?
Khushi: Arnavji,bataiyye na, kya woh bahut sundar hain? Humse bhi gori hain kya?
Arnav: Khushi,mere liye is duniya me tumse sundar aur koi nahi hai,okay? Remember that!
Khushi: Wahan ki gori mem bhi nahi?
Arnav (smiles):Bilkul nahi!!
Khushi: Sach?
Arnav: Much! Ab main jaaun?
Khushi: Theek hai. Apna khayal rakhiyega aur dawa waqt par lijiyega.
Arnav: Right aur tum apna aur di ka khayal rakhna aur tension mat lena,main theek hoon. Jaise hi time milega main tumhe call karunga.Bye!
Khushi: Suniye...
Arnav: Now what?
Khushi(sighs): Jaldi aaiyye Arnavji! Hum aapka intezaar kar rahe hain..
Arnav: Bahut jald aaunga,I promise,hmm.. I love u!
Khushi: Hum bhi..
Arnav: Khushi,complete the sentence,will you?
KhushI(blushes): Hum bhi aapse bahut pyaar karte hain!
Arnav: Better! Bye!
Khushi smiles as she ends the call,her heart singing with renewed hope. Maybe Arnavji would keep his promise this time around...
Precap: Anjali: Khushiji,Chhotey ne kya kaha tha,kab pahuchenge woh?
Khushi: Di,unhone 8 baje kaha tha.
Anjali:Toh ab tak kyun nahi aaye? Aap zara unka phone phir se try kariye.Paayal,aap Aakash ko bula kar laiyye,ab humein ghabrahat ho rahi hai..
Khushi(holds her mangalsutra): Kahan hai aap Arnavji?
