Chapter 71--- inquistive

It was now around 3 o clock and naina was back home from her friend's house, arnav and she were playing with each other, as he took his little angel on his lap and cuddled her and tickled her and she pulled his hair and kissed his cheek, she told him about her day and he listened to her with his full attention cherishing every moment with her

Naina: daddy, you know what yesterday in school, we learned how to make paper planes and boats

Arnav: oh wow, who thought you

Naina: my teacher Mrs. Robinson, she is very nice and I am her favorite she always gives me stars in my math's home work

Arnav: that's very good, (he said patting her back and encouraging her)and then what did you do

Naina: and then I went to my friend lillys house to sleep over her mother made yummy pancakes for break fast

Arnav: that's nice, (he kissed her cheeks)

Naina: and daddy how was your day what did you do

Arnav: my day was great and I went out for lunch yesterday (he suddenly stopped remembering about the lunch meeting he had with his jiju)

Naina: what happened daddy

Arnav: (slowly kissed her cheeks smiled at her and said) nothing princess I just remembered something

He got up to go to khushi who was in the kitchen about to start cooking

Arnav: khushi we need to talk to di, I almost forgot

Khushi: arnav but what are you going to tell her, you can't directly approach her like that

Arnav: exactly, the only way that this can happen is if you try to talk to her, and get her feelings out, we need to know how much di wants this, she won't tell me because she will be embarrassed but she will open up to you

Khushi: ok I guess your right, but when will we talk to her

Arnav: today, lets go to rm for dinner I'll call nani at that time you take di on the side and remove info on her only then can we start the net step

Khushi nodded and arnav made the call, it was decided that khushi would try to find out about anjili's feelings…

It was now 8 pm and they left for rm, arnav had briefed khushi on how to go about things, when they reached rm nani was happy to see them, naina ran to nani and hugged her, she loved nani as nani would give her boondi ladoos to eat, akash and payal were also around and Anjili too, nk had gone out with Lavanya, they were all sitting in the hall and discussing general topics, akash and arnav spoke about the business, nani and payal were playing naina, and khushi and Anjili were talking, it was the best time for khushi to start her work and that's what she did

Khushi: di, how have you been

Anjili: (smiled) fine

Khushi: that's good, di I wanted to tell you something

Anjili: what is it

Khushi: (lowered her voice) di thank you so much for the advice

Anjili: what advice

Khushi: the one you gave me at the shop to buy the hand cuffs

Anjili : ( chuckled) I am glad it worked

Khushi: di from where did you get that idea

Anjili remembering the time with her husband, she looked low

khushi: whats the matter di, is everything ok

Anjili: hmm ya, it is (she gave a fake smile)

Khushi: di if you don't mind me asking, can I say something

Anjili: ya sure

Khushi: di don't you feel lonely, I am sorry I am asking you this but your all alone and a women like you with such loving qualities to be alone is shocking, I don't know what happened in your past but I feel sad to see you alone

Anjili: (a bit shocked to hear this said) uh khushi, I don't know what to say I mean ya I feel alone, I am bound to but its ok I have learned to manage

Khushi: hmm ya i understand but still it must be hard, I can imagine a day without arnav, you know di, if he isnt holding me at night and cuddling me I feel very lost

Anjili: (slowly opening up) I know the feeling, you feel lost right with out his hands around you, it makes you less protected, (she said talking in a trance) it's the hardest thing that I have been through, I know how you feel, it happened to me before

Arnav who was now pretending to talk to akash had all ears on what his sister was talking, he could see the change in expressions on her face, her loneliness was more evident than ever and this was good it was a sign that she missed her husband,

Khushi further probed Anjili to speak

Khushi: di, but don't you want to marry again,

Anjili: how can I marry again, I have given my heart, soul and body to him, and with another man I don't think I can love him as much

Khushi: hmm I can understand, have you tried reconciling with your husband

Anjili: I wish I could but its too late whatever has happened cannot be changed and its too late to talk it out, khushi there is no point in talking all this its too late,

And that was the green signal, that Anjili wanted to reconcile but her mind kept telling her that it was too late and that nothing could be changed, khushi and arnav looked at each other they had all the answers to the questions and it was all clear, now all they had to do was get to working out a plan and executing it
