Part 25
"Did you ask for me, Anjaliji?" Khushi asked.
Anjali stared at her.
"Is there something you would like me to do?" Khushi asked again.
"No," Anjali replied slowly.
Khushi frowned. "Your brother said you were looking for me," she admitted.
Anjali's mouth fell open. "He did? Chotey did?" she asked in wonder.
"Yes," Khushi complained. "I was talking to our neighbour's nephew and your Chotey came to me, breathing fire. He said you were looking for me and dragged me away from there."
Anjali's eyes widened to their maximum dimension.
Buaji called Khushi and she left, muttering, "That Laad Governor is totally and completely pagal."

Anjali rushed to nani and mami and told them everything that Khushi had told her.
"Hein?" mami asked, the whites of her eyes visible. "Eee kaa ho raha he? Hello hi bye bye, hamre Arnav bitwaa ko kaa hua?"
"Laagat he, Anjali bitiya, Chotey is melting," nani said with a smile.
"Melting?" mami asked. "Ijj he an ice cream to meltwaa?" She turned her head to look at an Arnav bitwaa who was standing as solid as a wall in the middle of the room.
Nani smiled. "All men are ice creams when it comes to the girl who matters," she said cryptically.
"Saasumma, are you saying that Khussi matters to hamre Arnav bitwaa?" mami asked, shocked. "Khussi? And our Arnav bitwaa?"
"Looks like it, Manorama," nani said with a happy sigh. "Finally, Anjali bitiya, finally a girl who can make him feel something."
Anjali nodded, blinking away happy tears.
"Oo sab theek he, Saasumma," mami said. "Lekin I have a doubts. Oo pheelings kaa he? If it ijj angerwaa, how bill we phace the Guptas?"
The priest called nani and she left the group.

The Guptas minus Payal and the Raizadas minus Akash sat in the living room, exhausted after the wedding.
"It is time we left, Nandkisore," buaji said.
"Yes, jiji, it is very late," Garima added.
"Late? Is this late? And how can our samdhan run abay so early?" mami asked.
Nani smiled and said, "Please stay a while longer."
Anjali looked at Arnav. He was sitting a few feet away from the rest of the family, his chair positioned to give him a clear view of Khushi.
Anjali nudged mami and nani.
Mami began the attack. "Hum sochat rahe, Madhumatiji, you hab given us your Payaliya. Now only Khussi ijj lepht."
The Guptas smiled.
The Raizada ladies quivered in excitement to see Arnav sit up, alert.
"We don't want to marry her off now, Manoramaji, lekin kya karein, Nandkisore?" buaji lamented.
Arnav almost hyperventilated.
Khushi sat up, bewildered.
"Kaa hua, Madhumatiji?" nani asked.
That was exactly what Khushi wanted to ask buaji. What was the majboori to get her married off?
"Once our neighbours and relations found out that Payaliya's wedding had been fixed, they started bringing proposals for Khushi," Garima explained with a smile.
"We can't hurt them by not considering the boys," Sasi said with a slight smile.
Nani nodded, stealing a glance at Arnav's pale face.
"Aur kya, Devyaniji?" buaji added. "Today there was a boy at the wedding. Our neighbour's nephew. He came here just to meet Khushi, Nandkisore."
Khushi gulped.
Arnav clenched his fists. His intuition had been spot on.
"I hope you get a very good husband for Khussi bitiya," nani commented easily.
"Yes, buaji. It will be a very happy day when we get to celebrate Khushiji's wedding," Anjali turned the knife stuck somewhere in Arnav's ribs.
"Saasumma, ask them to holds the shaadi here," mami added. "We bill arrange eberything, Sasiji. What do you say, Arnav bitwaa?"
Arnav was too busy having an apoplectic fit to make a coherent answer.
"We should leave now, Devyaniji," Sasi said.
The Guptas got up and moved towards the door, followed by the Raizadas.
The families said their good nights.
Khushi made it a point not to look at pagal Laad Governor after one hazardous glance.
"Did you ask for me, Anjaliji?" Khushi asked.
Anjali stared at her.
"Is there something you would like me to do?" Khushi asked again.
