ARSHI FF: Na Bole Tum, Na Maine Kuch Kaha...

CHAPTER 03(B): Kuch Kuch Hota Hai...

Ruhi: “Di, Di...Di? Who are you talking to? Oh, let me guess! Jijaji na?” She snatched the phone from Khushi’s hand and was speaking to her Jijaji for the first time...

Ruhi: “Hello Jijaji?” She put the phone on speaker to tease her Di.








Arnav: “Hello Sweetheart, what’s your name?”








Ruhi: “Ruhi... Ruhi Gupta”








Arnav: “Wow, itna kabsoorat naam?”










Ruhi: “Jijaji won’t you compliment my Di’s name?”She said whilst inspecting Khushi’s blushing face. 










Arnav: “You want me to compliment your Di’s name?”









Ruhi: “Yeaah, obv Jijaji”









Arnav: “But then don’t you have to pass her the phone?”










Ruhi: “The phone is on speaker, na?”










Arnav: “Hmmm, well tell your Di that her name itself is happiness. Her eyes speak words that she chooses not to say and...”











Khushi wondered how he was so carefree whilst speaking to Ruhi but nervous when he spoke to her. She could simply blush hearing his words and hide her rouge face from her little one.











Ruhi: “Kya Hai Jijaji? I mean, I asked about her name and you’re talking about her eyes?” She complained.









Arnav: “What was that sweetheart? You interrupted my movie star dialogue?” He laughed.










Ruhi: “What’s the point of the filmy dialogue when your heroine is too shy to give a reply?”She giggled. 

Khushi made a *HAWWWW* face and snatched the phone from Ruhi’s hand. She then started tickling Ruhi whilst Ruhi was screaming with delight.








Ruhi: “Di, Di. Stop it na. Diiiiiii” She giggled.









Khushi: “You think your very smart na? Just because you got your ‘Jijaji’ on your side?” 









Ruhi: “Oh ho Di, you two haven’t even got engaged and you’re already calling him my Jijaji? Itni jaldi kyun?”











She laughed whilst Khushi made a shocked; she didn’t know her little sister was that sneaky. Ruhi took this as a chance to slip away leaving a flustered Khushi.












Arnav was hearing all this from the other side and her voice soothed his nervousness down. He could continuously hear the jingling of her bangles. His heart gleamed with joy at the fact that she accepted him. Khushi then realised he was still on the phone so she picked the phone up to speak...








Khushi: “H...” She was interrupted.








Suraj: “Khushi, have you finished with the phone now? I need to speak to Arnav beta. Jaldi na” Khushi reluctantly passed her dad the phone. She cursed herself for not speaking earlier but she was now satisfied that he wasn’t being forced into this marriage. He seemed happy. 














.............. 















Suraj: “Hello? Arnav Beta?”









Arnav: “Jee Uncle?”









Suraj: “I wanted to speak about the hotel reservations”









Arnav: “Oh, actually that is why I rang. Dadi asked me to sort everything out. How many people are coming with you? Have you made any travelling arrangements? And...”









Suraj: “Shanti Beta. I will tell you, I’m not running off anywhere” He laughed as they both spoke about the arrangements. 














.............. 















Khushi (To Herself): “Itna Bura Nay Hai. I mean, how sweet. He was so caring and gentle with Ruhi. I like him a lot more now” She then blushed at her own sentence and hid her face in the pillow.


















..............

















Meanwhile, Arnav was in the same position as Khushi... she was the only thing that was on his mind these days. He could continuously hear the movement of her bangles, her heavy breathing and her sweet voice that was nectar to his ears. He pulls out the photo from under his pillow, and he continued to speak to it. He laughed at his own plight. He never thought a day would come when he would be speaking to a photo. With the contentment in his heart that she would soon be his, he drifted off to sleep...

















..............
















MORNING










Arnav: “Dadi, Dadi”








Dadi: “Hmmm?”She said engrossed in picking out jewelry.








Arnav: “I need you to take measurements for Khushi’s dress. Actually her dresses will be designed in AR”








Dadi: “Good Idea! I’ll ring Garima today itself!” She said excitedly.









Arnav: “Teek Hai Dadi. I’m going to office now. Bye...”












****













When Arnav reached his office, the first thing he did was pull out his phone. He wanted to text Khushi but he had no idea what to say. He was sat there thinking but couldn’t find anything sweet to say. He thought of a message, typed it but then never sent it. After a lot of thought he gave up and in his haste he sent her a blank message. Satisfied with his text he put it away. “Maybe she will start the conversation after seeing mine” He said to himself...










Arnav: “Aman, Aman! Where are you?” He shouted out.








Aman: “Here, sir” He rushed inside.









Arnav: “Get me a sketchpad and pencils. I also need previous wedding designs and research what is new in the stock market. And quick”









Aman: “Yes sir, may I ask for which client?”










Arnav: “For your Bhabhi” He laughed and walked out of the room leaving a shocked Aman. 










Aman: “Bhabhi? Marriage? ASR smiled? Does that mean he treats me like a brother? Someone Pinch me!” He said whilst turning around, realizing that no one is in the room. 















---------------------
















On the other side Khushi had just woke up from her peaceful sleep when she felt a sudden urge to check her phone. It was as if her heart was giving her a hint.











She checked the phone to see that she had received a text from Arnav. She squealed in delight as she opened the message. She was very much bewildered at the text. It was blank? He sent a blank message? But why?













Khushi (To Herself): “Mr Arnav Singh Raizada, are you playing games with me?” She laughed and replied to his text with a blank message “Chalo, two can play that game” She laughed and jumped out of bed, looking forward to going to Delhi the next day, to meet him...






















***





















Arnav receives the message and instantly pulls out his phone. Aman was shocked to see his boss so eager towards a text. Arnav smiles seeing her blank reply and walks to his office. He kisses the blank screen and sends another blank message. This continued throughout the day...
