Chapter 3

Mami: Khushi bitiya finally your home!
Khushi: Haan Mami Mein yaain tho Kari hoon.
Mami: Chup Kar Pagli. Who dropped you? I don't see Jennifer.
Khushi: Jen didn't tell you? NK's friend Arnav dropped me home.
Mami: Ye Arnav khon hai Khushi?
Khushi: Are Mami chori hai. Kiren kahan hai?
Mami: Upstairs studying.

Kiren is Khushi's first cousin. Khushi's mama and Khushi's mother are brother and sisters. Kiren is a stickler for math, science chemistry, anything that has to do with math.Khushi is the opposite she hates math but scored 90.87% in her finals, shocker isn't it? Kiren is also number two after Khushi at being shararti.
********
Arnav: Dadi I'm home.
Dadi: Arnav itni der?
Arnav: Come on Dadi I am only twenty minutes late.

Arnav's Dadi is who Arnav is living with at the moment.

Arnav: I had to drop someone home.
Dadi: Khon?
Arnav: Khushi
Dadi: Khushi khon?
Arnav: Dadi NK couldn't drop Khushi home so he asked me drop her, simple.
Dadi: Arnav, Koi Chakar to Nahi Chal Raha hai?
Arnav: WHAT THE? Dadi just because I dropped Khushi home doesn't mean there is something between us.
Dadi: Teek hai Arnav, Jao sujao Bohot raath Hogay.

Dadi is strict, but she loves Arnav dearly. Arnav is the maturest and the most organized person you will ever find. He's Mr. Perfect. Arnav has a lot of patience in himself, however Arnav can get really angry when he's mad. He gets all of his traits from his Dadi. Since obviously they are blood.

Next morning

Kiren: Oi Khushi oot! It's 9:00 your going to be late for work.
Khushi: Sone do Na! Jao.
Kiren: Nahi Khushi oot, it's Monday and its 9:00!
Khushi: KIYA? It's 9 am? Why didn't my alarm go off?!

Khushi ran to the bathroom splashed cold water onto her face, brushed her teeths, ran back to her room. Khushi put on her heels her dress pants and her shirt. Brushed her hair and ran downstairs for breakfast.

Khushi: Mami Kahan hai? Choro Khushi we don't got time.

Khushi shoved a banana in her mouth, then some serial. Right before she was about to dash out she heard giggling noises.

Kiren: ahahahahaha, Didi Ajj Apka koi kaam Nahi hai! Ajj Saturday hai! I only did this for my own entertainment.
Khushi: KIREN!
Khushi said with her jaws clenched and slowly walking towards Kiren.

Khushi: Kiren, you woke me up at 9:00 in the morning, on a Saturday for your own entertainment?
Kiren: Didi choro Bhi Na.
Kiren said in a scared voice. She now regretted waking Khushi up.
Khushi: Watch how I get you back Kiren. Tum bas Dekh!

Khushi went back to her room changed her clothes and went back to sleep.
*****
Few hours later.

Arnav: Dadi I'm going out. Do you want me to get anything?
Dadi: Arnav yes. Do a little bit of grocery. I made a list. Oh I forgot to write down coriander get that too.
Arnav: Okay Dadi. Anything else?
Dadi: Nahi, drive safely Arnav.

At Khushi's house

Khushi: Mami Mein Aur Kiren bhar jarehien to the library for Kiren's cancer reasearch.
Mami: Jao Aur thodi so grocery Bhi Kar le Na.
Khushi: teek hai Mami.
*****
In Khushi's car
Kiren: hum Phele Kahan jare hain?
Khushi: let's do the grocery first, drop it back home and then we will go to the library.
Kiren: Okay Didi.
*****
In the parking lot

Khushi: Kiren go find a cart and wait for me infront of the store, I'm just parking my car and will be right there.
Kiren: Teek hai, par can I wait inside it's freezing outside.
Khushi: okay go.
Khushi smiled to her self and went to find a parking space.

While Kiren was getting a cart a young man and grabbed it, and that started a whole fuss.
Kiren: I was here first
Uhm Excuse me I was
Kiren: why don't you get another one?
Why can't you.
Kiren: How dare you talk to a girl like that!
What did I say?
Kiren: You boys will never learn!
Give me the cart said the man.
Kiren: NO! Get another one!
Khushi: Oi, Kiren what's goi- Arnav?
Arnav: Khushi? Hi.
Khushi: Hey.
Arnav: I'm sorry but do you know her?
Khushi: Yes, she's my first cousin Kiren.
Arnav: I see
Khushi: Kiren what did you do now?
Kiren: Didi why do u always "assume" I did something it was him!
Khushi: Because Kiren, your the shararti one after me.
Kiren: Didi! I came here to get a cart and he came too. I wanted this cart but he wanted it too and that's how the fuss started.
Khushi: That's it. Look around you Kiren there is a crowd watching.
Khushi: here will take another one no big dead
Arnav: it's okay I'll take that one, you can take this one.
Khushi: Problem solved. Now let's go before anything else happens.
Kiren: ugh whatever.
Arnav: wow this little lady has alot of attitude. Which Arnav said to himself.

When the three entered the grocery store, Khushi knew Kiren was going to start some sort of argument so she told Kiren to shutup and not say anything. Khushi kept glancing at Arnav, however Arnav was too busy reading what was on his grocery list.

Khushi: Need help?
Arnav: Yea, sure what the heck does this say?
Khushi: that's carrots, cucumbers, spinach, apples, pears, cherries.
Arnav: Oh thanks. I'll figure out the rest.
Kiren: Didi tell me what to get. I'll go get it while you stay here and flirt with this man.
Khushi: KIREN!


Khushi started blushing.

Kiren: okay Didi I'm sorry, it was a joke tell me what to get.
Khushi: Chips, juice, French fries, milk, yogurt, lasagna and that's about it. Hurry up okay?
Arnav:ahahaha Your little sister is so shararti.
Khushi: Yea I know. I'm not less you know.
Arnav: oh really?
Khushi: Yep.

While Arnav and Khushi where talking a man came and accidentally pushed Khushi and Khushi landed in Arnav's arms. They started starring at each other. Arnav saw the innocence in Khushi's dark brown hazel eyes and Khushi saw the comfort in Arnav's eyes.

Man: Im so sorry.
Khushi: uhm, it's okay. But please watch where your going.
Arnav: Khushi are you okay?
Khushi: Yea, uhm I'm fine.
Arnav: Are you sure?
Khushi: Yes. I'm fine.

Arnav noticed Khushi's red face. He hesitated to ask her again but before that,

Khushi: I have to go I wonder where Kiren is.
Arnav: Okay Khushi.
Khushi: Bye talk to you later

And Khushi dashed away.

Arnav: why is she blushing so much? Girls. He shakes his head and smiled and continued grocery shopping.

Chapter 2

Khushi: Jen I have to go home. Mami just called.
Jennifer: Do you have a ride.
Khushi: No I don't, mama dropped me and my car isn't with me. I have to be home in an hour.
Jennifer: Oh, uhm wait, let me ask NK. NK come here!
NK: YE. Be there in a sec
Jennifer: Khushi doesn't have a ride can you drop her home?
NK: I wish I can. I can't leave the party right now. Wait Jen let me ask Arnav he's going home too. He can drop Khushi. Yo Arnav come here!
Arnav: Ye?
Jennifer: Will you drop Khushi home? She doesn't have her car and she needs to go home.
Khushi: Jen it's okay I'll manage!
Jennifer: Tum Chup Karo!
Khushi: But Jen..

Jennifer is the type of girl who strictly believes that first priority is to respect our elders. She's and Indian 25 year old woman. She's always respectful to elders. She believes in god and is VERRY strict with relegion. Aur Agar usne koi Baat tanli Toh tanli. So looks like Khushi is going home with Arnav.

Arnav: Yep no prob, I'll take Khushi home.
Arnav looked directly at Khushi's shy and quite eyes.

*On there way out*

It was a silent and awkward silence. All they could here were crickets chirping and cold wind blowing. Obviously since it was the beginning of December in Toronto.

Arnav: Is everything okay? I'm sorry if I made you feel awkward during that dance
Khushi: No, no it's okay. Everything's fine. No problem at all.

It sounded as though Khushi coughed those words out.

Arnav: As you say
Arnav said smiling

Khushi: *Speaking to her self* Khushi Chup Kar, what are you saying?
Arnav: Did you say anything?
Khushi: No, uhm it's just cold that's it.
She gave a weird smile and Arnav smirked.
Arnav: * To himself* Pagal hai.

*On the highway*
Arnav: Can have your address?
Khushi: Oh, yea sure.

Khushi was in her own world. She didn't know what was going on she was just surrounded with her thoughts. While Khushi was giving out her address, NK had started calling.

Arnav: Hello, ya NK?
NK: Did you drop Khushi home?
Arnav: We are almost there
NK: Oh okay, Jennifer wants to talk to Khushi give her the phone.
Arnav: Khushi Jennifer wants to talk you.
Khushi: Hey Jen I said I'll call you when I get home.
Jennifer: Your Mami called me to ask where you are. Did your phone die?
Khushi: Oh God! Really? I switched it off. Bye Jen. Thanks.
Jennifer: Bye bebe no prob.
Khushi: Here Arnav your phone.
Arnav: Thanks, is everything okay?
Khushi: Yep everything's fine. Mami was just worried because my phone wasn't on.
Arnav: Oh. Your parents don't live with you?
Khushi: No my parents are in India. They sent me to the US to become a lawyer. I lived there for 8 years then I moved here to Toronto to live with Mami, Mama and there daughter Kiren.
Arnav: Oh wow that's cool.
Khushi: What about you?
Arnav: Well I used to live in India. my Di her husband, Nani, Mami Ji Mamaji are still in India, Akshay my brother is the manager of AR designs so he's usually in Europe with me. I moved to Europe 4 years ago right after I started my business AR designs. I was in the US for ten years. My parents live in Delhi but we are all from Lucknow.
Khushi: Oh. We are also from Lucknow, but now we live in Delhi too. Where you born in India?
Arnav: Yea, you?
Khushi: Yep.
Arnav: Well your house is here. It was nice talking to you. See you around.
Khushi: Same here. And you'll see me around a lot. Thanks for the ride.
Arnav: ahahaha don't mention it. Goodnight.
Khushi: Bye Goodnight!

Arnav waited till Khushi went inside her house and drove off.
