Arshi were having their snacks when they hear the door bell ring. They both realized that it would be none other than their disasterous sibblings. Arnav husshh khushi and went in behind the curtain to hide.Annie and Ronit came in

Ronit: ahh princess, how r u? We missed u alott...

Annie: yae bhabhs u must come with us.. You know what when I was..

Suddenly someone from behind came and blindfolded her with his hands... Annie felt the touch of hand with confused gaze but in no time realized its his bhai... She shouted...

Annie: bhai....

Arnav removed his hands from her eyes and she immediately turned around an hugges him tightly..

Annie: bhaiiii you here..

Arnav: hmm..

They both came out of embrace..

Arnav: I decided to surprise u guys....

Arnav and ronit shared a brotherly hug.

Annie: ohhhhhh to surprise us orrr..

Ronit: to surprise khushi.. Hmm??

With this they both hi five each other and started laughing..

Arnav: you both have become very naughty...

Annie and ronit: but still less than you. With this they again started laughing. Khushi is blushing all the time during this conversation. She is feeling shy with this teasing of her sibblings..

Annie:: ohh ho look at my bhabhi.. How she turned red.... Something is fishy... What did u do bhai... Some kis...

Arnav: annie.. Be quite and go and fresh up....

Ronit and Annie looked at each other and coughed a little to tease both of them....

Ronit and Annie: ahem ahem..

They giggled a little and went to fresh up.

They returned back and were having snacks where khushi's ma and papa came in..

Mr Gupta: ohhh look Arnav beta.. You here?

Arnav went towards and them touched their feet to take blessings.

Both: be always happy beta.

Mr gupta: how come u here beta?

Arnav: yes uncle. I was finished with my deal so came here..

Mrs gupta: oh how was the deal beta?

Arnav: it was good aunty.

Mr gupta: okk you guys continue with ur snacks we would fresh up and lets meet at dinner.

Arnav: sure uncle.

Parents went in and the four decided to go to khushi's room.

They all settled themselves. Annie and ronit on love seats arranged together and Arshi on two seat sofa but sitting very close to each other. They all were talking and slowly Arna moved his one arm around khushi's waist and brought her more closer and kinda hugged her. He kept his head on shoulder as if resting.

Annie: bhai how did u know that khushi is at home. She might be with us too.??

Arnav: Princess you forgot mines and khushi's iphones are connected and so it was easy for me to loacate her iphone easily.

Annie: ohhhhh!!!!

Arnav: hmmm..

Arnav: so roni wats going on??

Ronit: nthng much jiju..

Arnav: roni I was thinking tht ths tym wen maum and dad come I was thnking of telling them about me and khushi and get engaged.

Arnav dnt actually need to ask Ronit about it. He is quite young from him as well as he is younger to khushi but he knew it very well that Ronit is like a big brother to khushi and Arnav respects him as a person and he wants Ronit to be with him at all times. With time both of them had developed a brotherly relation and Ronit also takes advice on all his matters from Arnav as a brother and he acknowledge this relation.

Khushi felt extremely happy with Arnav's gesture. She felt proud of him and is thankful to him for giving her younger brother so respect and love.

Ronit too felt happy that his jiju actually thought him this important to discuss important issues with him.

Ronit: sure jiju as you like. I am always with you on all your decisions.

They share a happy moment with each other.

They were sitting and chit chatting when suddenly Arnav's phone rang and he saw DAD flashing on screen.

Arnav: hello.

Mr Raizada: Hello beta how are you.? Did u reach?

Arnav: yes. How are you and Maum.

Mr Raizada: we are good. I just called to let u know that we are reaching tomorrow to Canada. We are just boarding thr flight now.

Mr Raiazada:okk take care beta.

Arnav hung up the phone.

Arnav: maum and dad are coming tomorrow.

Annie:(shouted) waoooo... Really.

Arnav: hmm..

Annie:I am soo happy bhai....

Everyone felt happy...

Annie: ohh I need to prepare a lot of things.. Ronit will u help me..

Ronit: sure lets go.

Annie: okk bhai and khushi u guys spend some time and thn cm down for dinner.

Arnav: okkk

Khushi just passed a smile..

In all the excitement Annie observed khushi's tensed face and she realized tht the couple must be given some time alone. So she purposely made and excuse.

Annie and Ronit exit the room but annie with confusion and tension about what is bothering khushi.

After Annie and Ronit went out Arnav stood from sofa and went and closed the door. He held khushi's hand and moved towards her bed. Khushi sat on the bed and Arnav went over and laid on the bed with his head in khushi's lap. Khushi passed a cute smile at Arnav's baby like act and started masaging his head.

Khushi: tired??

Arnav: hmm alittle bit.

There was ultimate silence in the room for few minutes. Khushi is deep in her thought.

Arnav: baby....
