They reached raizada mansion, and khushi helped arnav out, she rang the door bell and the butler opened it, as he did a figure slowly approached further towards them, she was in a golden saree, she looked smart and extremely kind by nature, and that figure was anjili she ran to arnav and touched his face looking worried
Anjili: chotte are you alright
Arnav: di relax I am fine
Anjili: (scolding him) whats wrong with u why don't you have your tablets
Arnav was about to answer when elderly women came down, and also did the same, that was arnav's nani, once the interrogation was done anjili and nani realized that khushi was standing there patiently
Anjili: (looked at her and smiled) your khushi
Khushi: yes mam
Anjili: thank you khushi, if you hadn't called me god knows what would have happened
Arnav: di stop it,
Anjili: (ignored him) please do come in
Nan: yeah bitiya why don't you have dinner
Khushi: (smiled at the offer and said) sorry mam, I would love to but I have to get back home, my daughter is waiting for me
Arnav: (shocked) daughter??
Anjili: (smiled) oh you are married is it
Khushi: no mam, I am not
Nani and anjili looked at each other confused and arnav was just shocked about the daughter news
Arnav: ha I knew it, no wonder why you want to prove yourself, I can expect stuff like this from you, you must have done it before marriage and got carried away and the guy must have turned you down when he found out about you being pregnant, how low can you fall khushi (he said assuming that it was the truth)
Anjili: chotte stop it, how do u know this is all true
Arnav: di what else could it be
Khushi: (annoyed at him) not every one o n this earth is as selfish as you, and stop jumping to conclusions (she looked at anjili and nani and explained) mam actually she is my sisters daughter, my sister and her husband died a few years ago and I have adopted their little one as there is no one to take care of her
Arnav shocked at what he just heard, started feeling guilty for jumping to conclusions
Anjili and nani paid condolence for her sister, they both smiled at each other as they saw she was a caring person, arnav was shocked but didn't show it on his face and walked past them to his room as that night he was staying in the raizada mansion,
Anjili: so how old is your daughter
Khushi: she is 5
Nani: oh and what is her name
Khushi: naina
Anjili: do bring her over, I love children and would love to meet her
Khushi smiled and then tried to excuse herself, anjili came to drop her to the door and while she was at the door she told khushi to keep a check on arnav's medicines and to give to him on time she agreed, arnav stopped her and anjili understood why and so she left the two of them alone
Arnav: khushi I am'
Khushi: its ok, I expected you to react this way
Arnav: look I am really'
Khushi: let it be it must be hard for you to say sorry, especially because your not use to it
Arnav: (now grabbing his courage) sorry (he said in a soft tone)
Khushi its ok
Saying this she left
Arnav ate his dinner and then went to his room, his lights were shut and the only source of light was the moon light that was glaring inside his room, he stared up at the ceiling in deep thought he played back the day's events of how she put his head on her lap and brought him back to conscious, how she fed him the chocolates and gave him his medicine, her words kept coming back his mind "look I am not low to help you so I could win the bet, I helped you because you were unconscious and if no one tended to you, you would have been in a bad state, there is something known as humanity", the words kept echoing into his mind, he saw her face, her structure was coming back into his mind, and then his thoughts diverted to the daughter, she has a daughter, he thought, it must be hard for her to be a single parent, maybe that's why she was fighting for the job, all of a sudden things made sense in his heart but his head, his head didn't allow him to comprehend his hearts theory, his manly ego shoved itself in the way saying no asr no, your reputation is at stake, so what if she has a daughter and she is a single parent, so what big deal there are lots of single parents and they manage fine, u have to pull her down, with that he went to sleep
Meanwhile khushi too was in deep thought, she also played the day's events in her mind, his pale gloomy face came in her mind, at that point she was soo scared, what if something happened to him, she held her breath and her eyes wide open with shocked, then she calmed herself down and made a promise that no matter how much he yelled screamed shouted and insulted her, she would keep a check on his medicine schedule, as far as her job is concerned her first priority was his health even if she had to force the medicines down his throat she would do it, in her deep thought she felt a tug near her arm and she looked to the right to see naina was snuggling closer to her, she was hugging her favorite purple unicorn Mr frosty' she smiled and put her hair behind her ears, on seeing naina she remembered anjili and arnav's nani and how they were asking questions about her, they seem so sweet so unlike laad governor, in her thoughts she managed to get sleep so she could rise for the next morning
As time passed by morning soon came, arnav was ready to go to work, he headed down to the breakfast table to see anjili and payal serving breakfast, he took a chair and waited for his coffee, while he was waited anjili was chatting with him
Anjili: she is sweet
Arnav: (confused) who
Anjili: your secretary khushi
Arnav: (rolled his eyes) di please
Anjili: what di please!!, she is sweet, if it wasn't for her what would have happened
Arnav: (now annoyed) di stop worshipping her,
At that point akash entered and sat on the chair next to payal
Anjili: I am not worshiping her I am just praising her
Akash: who are you talking about di
Payal: about khushi
Akash: (smiled) uh she is really something isnt she !!
Arnav: what is wrong with u all ugh, she is just a measly assistant; stop it (he growled)
Anjili: ok ok chotte, by the way I need some helpers from your office for the charity function today, there are going to be lots of people and I cannot handle so many not mention a lot children
Arnav: take khushi, for the day, this way she will be off my back
Anjili smiled and agreed, then took khushi's number from arnav and dialed her
