They had a lavish feast in the raizada mansion, everyone was
as jolly as ever, akash arnav and nk were talking about sports, khushi and
payal were talking about the latest gossip with the rich and famous, little
naina was playing with her stuff toy and best friend mr frosty, and Anjili was
a bit aloof after her shocking encounter with her ex husband, arnav noticed,
but didn't say much, as he wanted to give her some time, he still didn't know
what was happening to her and why she was behaving so weird, but still he
decided to give her some time, off and on he would talk to her in the middle of
conversations so that he could keep a check on her….
After the feast they head home, naina was sleepy and was
yawning continually, arnav picked her up in his arms and she rested her head on
his shoulder, khushi said bye to everyone and then they got into the car and
drove off to the apartment, as they reached the apartment, khushi went to
naina's room and put her to sleep, and tucked her in, arnav was at the bar, he
needed a scotch to contemplate what was going on in his sisters mind, worry
started to creep up his veins, seeing her so aloof was so unlike her, there was
defiantly something bothering her, but what, what was it, that she couldn't
tell him about, over the years with everything that they have been through with
their fathers betrayal and their mother death, and becoming homeless they have
gone through it together, and throughout it all they never kept any secrets, so
why wasn't his di telling him what was bothering her
Khushi came out off naina's room and saw arnav with a scotch
in his hand looking out of the window, she knew Anjili's state of mind was
bothering him, how could it not, it was bothering her as well, she knew she
needed to support him, it was her turn to be his support and encouragement, so
she went behind him and placed her two palms on his chest hugging him from
behind, giving him a sense that she is behind for him, he kept down the scotch
on the coffee table nearby and placed
his hands on her palms and held them tightly, for a few seconds then he turned
around and saw her looking at him, she cupped his face with her hands and
looked into his eyes and said
Khushi: arnav I know whats on your mind, its di right?? (she
questioned)
He looked back at her yet still silent, by now khushi
understood her husband's nature in looking at things, he would subtly hint her
things and she would catch his signal, if he didn't want to say much he would
talk to her through his eyes, and that's exactly what he did, he just blinked
at she knew he was sad for that reason,
She caught hold of
his hands and dragged him lightly to the couch and made him sit then she placed
herself on his thighs and wrapped an arm around his neck, sitting side ways on
his lap, she looked back into his eyes and said in a soft and soothing voice
Khushi: I am also worried about her, (she took his hand in
hers and rubbed his knuckles lightly with her thumb) I have never seen her like
this, and I can imagine what you have gone through, seeing her like this, I
know there is that is bothering her, (she then changed her hand position and
placed it on his cheeks and started to brush them) but jaan!! By you sitting an
sulking the problem is not going to change of solve itself na (she explained in
a loving voice to him) we need to give her time to open up
Finally arnav reacted to what she said, he placed a light
touch over her hands which were still on his cheeks and then said
Arnav: khush, I guess you're right, we should give her time, honestly I am just
worried what it must be,I went to talk to her as well, at first I thought it
was just something minor but what I saw at the dinner table was shocking me to
no limits, that's why I am so worried, what is it that she cant tell me, I
don't understand, I am her brother, we have been through so much!! (he vented
out his frustration)
Khushi: (calmly listened) honey look, it is something that
is very dear to her heart that's why she cant open up easily, about not telling
you give her some time, maybe e she hasn't figured it out as yet that's why she
hasn't told you, have you thought of it like that
Arnav: I know what your saying is correct, maybe she hasn't
figured it out herself that why she must have not told me, we need to give her
time,
Khushi smiled at him, he was glad she was there to support
him and understand him, it made him feel light in his heart that she was there
to listen to him, and venting out the frustration helped him a lot, khushi too
was happy that she managed to show her husband that she was there for him, she
was proud of herself for being able to extend support towards him, and truly
play the role off his wife, they headed towards the bed room and arnav lay down
on the bed, he knew that he had to wait and watch what the problem was and he
knew his wife was right that worrying for no reason made no sense so he decided
to fall off to sleep, khushi lovingly invited him to rest on the crook of her
neck, and all through the while she whispered sweet nothings into his ears,
which made him feel much better,
