Chapter 4

Arnav took Khushi up to his room. He was so angry he removed the bag from his cupboard and started to fill his clothes in. Anger still evident on his face. How could dadi do this. He was upset with the silly condition that she put. How dare she say that if they had a girl she wont accept her. Arnav was outraged by this. As he removed his clothes in anger and placed them in the bag. Khushi stood by the french windows looking out at the darkness. She had huge tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe what happened downstairs. She left out small sniffs. Arnav who was right now in anger heard her sniff he looked up at her. She stood silent. He knew she was crying. He went to her and placed a hand on her shoulders. Khushi turned around to see him. He was calm now. Arnav saw her big tears and wiped them off her face. She instantly hugged him tightly, resting her head on his chest and crying her heart out. Arnav encircled his arms around her waist to pull her in. Providing her with comfort and love.

Once she stopped crying. She lifted up from his chest, and looked at him and said in a soft voice

Khushi: This is all my fault. (she paused) I am sorry Arnavji

Arnav: (felt heart ache hearing her, he nodded her head from left to right) No, its not your fault. Dont blame yourself.

Khushi: (leaving him said) Then what am I suppose to say, you tell me. Amma and Buaji have disowned me. You are leaving this place. Every one is upset.

Arnav: (caressing her face he said in a soft voice) Khushi whatever I am doing I am doing for our child.  There is no point staying here is Dadi cannot accept our little one. I am upset she can even make statements like if we have a girl she wont accept her. Thats ridiculous (he said in anger) I am leaving because I want our child to have a better future. (he explained. Then he went on to say) Look I know you are upset about your Amma disowning you. But dont worry. Before we leave We will stop by your house to talk to them one last time. I think we need them to think properly and then they would understand.

Khushi: (nodded) Arnavji but where are we going to go. (she asked softly)

Arnav was about to answer when they heard a Anjili's voice from behind

Anjili: Hawaii

Arnav and Khushi looked in that direction and then Anjili said in a chirpy voice.

Anjili: Sorry Chottey can I come in.

Arnav: Yes Di

Anjili made her way in and then Arnav said

Arnav: (confused) Hawaii. Di why Hawaii ??

Anjili: Chottey, You remember that trip you took when you were in collage. You me and Akash went to Hawaii. You remember how much fun you had on that trip. (she smiled fondly and that memory) I remember you said that one day you would love to settle there because it was peaceful and quite unlike the fast paced city life.

Arnav: (smirked too) Yeah di I remember that trip

Anjili: Chottey at that time I had decided that when the time was right I would gift you a house there for your birthday this year. But seeing the current situation I think I should give you your birthday gift earlier.

Arnav: DI, I dont know what to say. I mean Hawaii. I thought we would move close by and stuff, I have never been far away from you. (he said skeptical)

Anjili: Chottey take it. Hawaii is a good place. You and Khushiji will be happy there. The baby will have a good life there. It is nice and peaceful and you can't restart a business there too. (she smiled and said) Dont worry about me Chottey I will come to Hawaii after the baby is born

Arnav: Di you are welcome to come before that as well. (he said sincerely)

Anjili: (left out a small tear she wiped it off and maintained her smile, and said) Ok now enough. Come here and give a big huge hug. I can't believe my Chottey has become so big (she said hugging him with all her warmth) YOu will be a great father Chottey

Khushi: (who was quite till now seeing the brother and sister bond. Spoke up softly) Di, your not angry with us for the baby.

Anjili broke the hug with Arnav and went towards her. She had the same warmth on her face when she spoke to Khushi.

Anjili: (she caressed her face and said) At first I was very angry, because you aren't married. But when I looked at this situation closer I thought to myself, that what is done is done. You can not change it. But what we can do is correct it. I only wish well for this baby thats growing within you. Khushiji what ever happens is in your destiny. (she paused) Devi maya works in mysterious ways and we must repeat and walk in those paths thats she creates for us. (she took Khushi's hand in hers) Khushiji take care of my Chottey and his baby. I have full faith in you.

Khushi was happy that Anjili wasn't angry any more. She hugged her tightly and Anjili responded back. Arnav watched as the two women in his life accepted each other. He was happy that Anjili was on their side. He promised that once he had a functioning business running he would take Anjili along with him to Hawaii. He refused to stay away from her for too long.

They finished packing Arnav told Aman to transfer money to his account, he also told him to book 2 tickets to Hawaii. Then they bid farewell to Anjili and went to the Gupta house, Khushi was petrified of what would happen when she needed to face her family again. Arnav assured her that no matter what he would always be there for her. As they reached the Gupta house they got off the car and walked to the front door, only to find a suit case outside on the porch. Arnav looked at Khush confused.

Khushi looked at the suit case opened it to find her clothes inside. She cried and said to him.

Khushi: Arnavji they packed my clothes also and kept it out. They have really disowned me for ever (she said crying)

Arnav: (calming her down) Shh. Dont worry you dont need them.

Saying that he took her to the car and had her seated inside. He was join to drive off when Payal came running. She stopped him. She went to Khushi and spoke to her and said

Payal: Khushi will you go with out saying good bye

Khushi: (got off the car and hugged her tightly crying) Shh. silly girl, (she wiped her tears) I know Amma is upset but that doesn't mean that we all our. (she handed her a statue of Devi maya) Khushi Babuji has given this for you. You know he can't meet you because Amma has stopped him from. But he has sent this for you. Its good luck.

Khushi: Thank you Jiji

Payal walked towards Arnav and said

Payal: Arnavji take care of my baby sister.

Arnav nodded. They said Bye to Payala and then took off for the airport. Their new life was just about to begin.
