Inside the party hall she walked in and everyone's eyes were on her, she walked in and was a bit nervous, her best friend Jeena came and said

She blushed and went in with herself, as she came in people greeted her, she was the most beautiful amongst every one even the hottest girl couldn't compete with her today

Back home khushi came in it was almost dinner time everyone was at the table, she helped in the kitchen as the servant Hari Prakash got the food out, she served the kids and then akash asked

Akash: khushiji aren't you going to eat

Arnav looked up from his plate to see what she was going to say

Khushi smiled and then said

Khushi: no akashiji not now I will feed the children and then eat

Akash nodded and then nani said

Nani: betiya you did a marvelous job with Annika today she looked beautiful, chottey is right she looks like her mother today Khushi smiled and then ratna said

Ratna: on the first day u are doing such a good job

Khushi: thank u auntyji

Arnav who was frustrated listening to all the compliments she was getting was now ready to shut so he yelled back

Arnav: (shouting)whats the big deal, why is everyone complimenting her, so she made Annika dress up anybody could do that, nothing special

Everyone looked at him Stunned and shocked khushi had her mouth open wide

Ratna: (trying to calm him) calm down chottey relax, its ok,

Arnav: I don't care, khushi is nothing more than their governess understand (he yelled) khushi stop trying to win everyone's heart I know your intentions

Khushi: (who was now getting angry shouted back and said) Mr Arnav singh Raizada, lower your voice, we all know u have all the money in this world, but that doesn't mean that you make a big deal about it, how dare you doubt my intentions I am not a GOLD DIGGER

Everyone watched as they quarreled and then ratna came and told Arnav o stop

Ratna: chottey please stop

He saw his mother and then walked away sulking and then ratna said

Khushi: (smiled and said) don't worry auntyji I understand

Ratna smiled and then they left the children were still there she fed them food and then made them change

Back in arnav's room he walked up and down in tension and anger all over him, as he thought t o himself

Arnav: how dare she, she yelled at me, and asked me to deal with it, what does that woman think she is, how dare she question my authority how dare she?? (then suddenly a light breeze passed by from the window that was open to the pool side, he felt a cool sensation touch his neck and a flash back of the memory of the first time they met came to his head, he remembered how she looked her innocent face those dough like soft eyes and those soft red lips she looks beautiful he thought, but his thoughts were interrupted by a knock, he looked at the door and then saw his beauty in front of him, he immediately came out of the trance and said

Arnav: (in anger) you what are u doing here

Khushi: I am not here to fight; I am here to inform u that I am leaving to go to pick up Annika

He nodded and she was about to leave but as she turned around she too felt the soft breeze on her neck and then turned back and saw him, he looked at her with big eyes wondering what happened, she saw him and a warmth spread through her heart he looked so handsome, she was finding herself attracted to him, he wore a purple swear shirt and track pants and he looked so adorable and warm, she could feel her heart beat faster and faster and she touched it wondering why it was doing that, he looked back and said

Arnav: do u need anything (he asked with raised eye brows)

She nodded with a negative sign and then walked off all confused her heart still beating faster and faster as she touched it, she was on her way down when she bumped into Nani who asked in a concerned tone

Nani: khushi betiya all ok

Khushi: (came out of her trance and said) ya naniji, I am just going to pick up Annika Nani nodded and then khushi left
