Khushi goes to Airport to receive Arnav
Part B: At The Airport
Anjali, Naniji, and Mami were sitting in the living
room.. Shyam walked in through the main entrance. Aakash and Payal followed
Shyam. As Khushi descended down the stairs, everyone stopped in their track. Khushi
looked stunning in red chiffon saree…her hair flowing.. a thin embroidered
border in green … minimal jewelry adorned her face… matching bangles filled her
arms…her phone in her hand, with a small wallet purse… her face was somber but
she looked stunning with her exceptional glow.
Payal walked over enthusiastically. Anjali jumped to her
feet … both rushed to Khushi .. Payal gushed..”Khushi, you look beautiful! Right,
Di? “
Anjali, lovingly caressed Khushi’s face and said with an
adorable smile on her face….”Khushiji, saree….?” With some mischievous eye
gestures, Anjali teasingly looked at her..
Khushi looked away… blushed slightly.. Uncomfortable as
she sensed Shyam staring at her shamelessly. She collected her thoughts, looked
at Anjali and said, “Di, ..I …I..….It’s..just…”
Manorama came in swaying, “Aaa, mention nots, Phati Saree,
looking beautifuls – Raizadas bahu, you
know!”
Nani stared at Monorama shutting her up! Then Nani smiled
at Khushi adoringly.
Aakash walked over and said, “Khushiji, Bhai’s flight
lands soon after eleven. Then customs check and all that… it will take half an
hour at least or longer. Luckily, Bhai usually does not carry much stuff so it
might be earlier than that. Still, it will be at least midnight by the time he
will be out. I have instructed the driver, he will stay with you.”
“Thank You, Jijaji! “ Khushi says thankfully. Payal
smiled with pride.
Naniji said affectionately, ‘Khushi bitiya, make sure
that you seek blessings from Devi Maiyya before you leave.. after all that
happened.. I just want to see Chhotey safe and sound! ”
“Yes, Naniji..”
As Khushi started walking towards Devi Maiyya’s on the
other side of the lounging area, Anjali smiled at her affectionately.
Khushi stood in front of Devi Maiyya. Many thoughts
rushed through her mind. She remembered how she had become upset with Devi
Maiyya after her marriage to Arnav and had cut off herself from Devi Maiyya.
Her eyes became moist. Her lips quivered with vulnerability. Khushi put her
hands together and said to Devi Maiyya, “Hey, Devi Maiyya! I know I did not
want to talk to you all this time! But.. you are the mother of all of us! You
can’t be upset with me too long, I am really sorry. Forgive me for my immature
act.“ Tears filled to the brim of Khushi’s eyes as images of Arnav leaving at
the airport.pulling his hand out of hers.. not turning back look at her flashed
again in front of her eyes. She continued,
”Devi Maiyya, please, let Arnav ji come back home safe
and sound. I need one more chance to tell him the truth. Without him…..” she choked.
She got up to leave. As she turned around, she was stunned to see Shyam staring
at her …
With a shrewd smile he said, “Arey, Khushiji, how can God
be doing favors to all of us at the same time? It would have been easier had
you listened to me.” The sarcastic smile deepened on his face as he continued,
“ I promise you, I will show your Arnav ji what it means to take you away from
me! I will not rest easy till then! It’s my promise!”
Khushi was shocked for a moment, words escaped her at his
audacity…then she calmly looked up and said in a stern voice, “Move out of my
way, I’m getting late!”
“Arey, what’s the rush, Khushiji…” Shyam smiled
sarcastically again.
“Di!” Khushi called out loudly. Shyam turned around scared
of being caught… Khushi passed by him like a breeze..
Shyam gave Khushi an
angry look as Anjali walked over to him… smiling as usual …But, had some
questions in her eyes…
At the airport: Khushi looked at the monitors…’ BA0143 –
landed’ flight from Heathrow, London..
Landing time about 30-40 min earlier
than expected arrival…
The driver, Mohan, said to Khushi, “I will get the car.
Arnav Bhaiyya will be out soon. I will
meet you at the curb...’
“Okay, Mohan ji…” Khushi said.. Mohan showed her where to
wait for Arnav… as passengers started trickling out of the ‘arrivals’ gate with
their loved ones cheering on their arrival. Mohan left to get the car.
Khushi became restless. Worried how Arnav was going to
react, ” I just hope that he does not get angry after seeing me here!” Khushi started
pacing, her hands continuously rolling her pallu in nervousness.. Her gaze
intermittently on the arrivals gate.. then, worried she would breath shallow..
Her throat started going dry..
Khushi started getting butterflies in her stomach.. She
again remembered how Arnav left without looking back at her.. She said to
herself, looking at the sky, “Hey, Devi Maiyya, I came here but now my patience
is wearing off!” She closed her eyes tight and after a deep breath muttered, “Just
hope that Arnav ji does not angry with me, I want to tell him what’s in my
heart and on my mind!”
Khushi startled as she felt someone’s hand on her arm. As
she opened her eyes, a familiar voice
said, “Who are you talking to, Khushi?” She looked up. It was Arnav, standing
next to her.. He looked as handsome as he always did even after the eight hours
long flight.. Her eyes widened..
Khushi’s throat went dry…she barely managed…”AAA ppp…You….”
Arnav said in a softer husky voice, “Ha, main… Yes, me!” His eyes sipped in her ravishing beauty in the
stunning red saree..
“When did you come?” Khushi managed to ask.
“When you were talking to yourself!” He said with his
eyebrows slightly lifted. Then asked.. “What
are you doing here?”
“ Ji, I.. I.. Came to pick you up…” Khushi stuttered.
“What the..” Arnav said “Why? Why did you have to come?” in a dismissive tone..
“Ji, hum..hum…I.. I..”
Just then someone walked by hurriedly knocking Khushi off
her balance, as she stumbled on her feet. Arnav’s strong arms caught her… rejuvenating
the familiar feeling of being in each others arms…Khushi and Arnav got lost in
each others eyes…A beautiful Rabba Ve moment followed…….
Khushi kept saying to herself, “Khushi, you are dreaming
again…”
