ROYAL SECRET (Completed)

39 Surprise

"What about Anjaliji?"

Arnav was silently concentrating on the road. Khushi sat straight not wanting to trouble him more. It's enough as she put something in his mind what she wanted to. But...she didn't expect, Arnav spoke.

"I hope Di won't be stupid. She stood for Shyam when she trusted him... when she didn't know about him because she thought she should not lose him but now, she got to know about him and how selfish he is... Still, if she stands for him, she will lose her brother too" Arnav said harshly.

Khushi gulped down hard, looking at him.

"She should know what's right and wrong, Khushi. I don't want her to do the same mistake again and again."

After that, Khushi didn't talk about Anjali, Shyam, and Sheetal because she got to know his stands in the matter and also how angry he is.

Nainital

They reached Nainital. Khushi felt something new even though Nainital was her born place.

"Arnavji, could you lower the window down?" she requested him.

Arnav nodded yes and lowered the window after turning off the AC. Khushi peeped out of the car to feel the chilling wind. Arnav drove the car smilingly. He stopped the car in front of Shashi's Ayurveda Clinic. In no time, Khushi rushed in and hugged Garima.

"How are you Amma?" she asked with concern.

"We are so good just like you" Garima smiled.

"I missed you a lot..."

"We too... where is Arnav bituwa?"

"She left me in the middle of the road to meet you, aunty" Arnav came, saying that.

Khushi pouted whereas Garima laughed.

"How are you, Arnav beta?"

"I'm fine aunty"

"I hope you are not facing any problem with your leg and hand..."

"No... nothing... aunty"

Garima nodded ok.

"Where is uncle?"

"He is testing a patient. Will come in a few minutes" Garima said.

Arnav gave a look to the bed in which he had been admitted. He smiled inwardly.

"what would you like to have, Arnav beta? Coffee or tea?" Garima asked.

"I would like to have only Khushi's special MUSH" Arnav chuckled.

Garima laughed whereas Khushi smiled awkwardly.

"Khushi would not have thought when she fought with you for the mush that one day she will give herself to you" Garima laughed

Whereas our love birds stayed in an eye lock for a few seconds with an adorable smile.

"Are you guys planning not to come inside? Let's go..." Garima said.

"But, on condition..." Arnav said.

"What condition?"

"I will be sitting on my bed..."

Garima laughed.

"Why Arnav beta, it seems you liked the bed a lot..."

"Of course, it gave me rebirth... it gave me LIFE," he said looking at Khushi who blushed looking down.

That's when they heard,

"How are you Arnav?" from Shashi.

Arnav rushed to him and shook hands with him. Shashi pattered his back with a smile.

"I'm fine, uncle. How are you?"

"Doing good... I got all the saplings sent by you and also the money to plant them. Thank you so much, Arnav"

"What plants?" Khushi asked.

Shashi and Arnav looked at her with a smile.

"Arnav promised me to send one lakh tree saplings and I heard him started, planting trees in Delhi too"

She looked at him wondering.

"One lakh saplings?" Khushi asked widening her eyes.

"That's the first good task I have ever done in my life" Arnav smiled.

"How is Nanne?" Shashi asked.

"He is fine, uncle... will come here soon"

Khushi looked at him frowning. Didn't he say he had given Nanne important work to do? Is he planning something secretly? But what's that? Khushi was thinking about it but she couldn't understand anything.

That's when they heard the noise of a car. Arnav read Khushi's expression who didn't react to it. Arnav walked out and Shashi followed him. Khushi jerked hearing Arnav telling Shashi,

"They are my family members"

She rushed out and saw Raizadas getting down from the car all smilingly.
