Khushi is shocked so much that she just stands there with her eyes and mouth wide open.Payal sees her and pinches her bringing her back to senses. Khushi moves towards Arnav.

Khushi : So you are ASR. I am so sorry and she goes on speaking

But Arnav is just staring at her without concentrating to what she is telling them.

Anjali : Come on dinner is ready.

All of them move towards the dinning area and take their respective seats. Khushi is still in the hall and speaking with arnav.

Dinning Table :

The servants start serving the dinner.Aman and Lavanya too join the dinner since they were specially invited by Naani and anjali.

Naani : So Payal bitiya tell me what do you do? Are you and Khushi stay alone in Lucknow.

Payal : Nahi Naani. We stay with my parents and Buaji.

Just then Payal realises that she should inform her parents that they will be late and tells the same to all and leaves towards the hall to call her family. she realises that khushi is still taking with arnav.

Payal : Khushi bas bhi karo. (Hitting her slightly on her head).

Khushi : Jiji..

Arnav : Its ok Payal. come lets go for dinner and turns around to see and shocked that all his family members are already seated in the dinning area and walk towards them.

Payal : Khuhsi call amma and tell that we will be late.

Khushi calls her home and tells the same and then returns to the dinning area with payal.Khushi sits opposite to arnav. Payal sits next to Khushi. Akash sits next to shyam opposite to anjali.Akash is lightly drawn towards payal and he slowly starts glancing her.This is not been unnoticed by anjali who was sitting next to payal. shyam is sitting next to arnav and is staring at khushi. Khushi saw that once and feels little awkward. arnav notices her sudden change in her face. The rest of the dinner goes silent.After dinner desserts are served. 

After the peaceful dinner the entire family moved towards the hall. Aman spoke to ASR and took his leave. Lavanya was still wating for the gupta sisters to leave.

Khushi : Haa Jiji. Anjali ji , Naaniji its getting late we should leave now.

Anjali : Oh i dint know how time went. but anyway it was nice meeting you both.Wish we could spend some more time.

Shyam : Ha ha anjali... Wish they could stay here for some more time.. Kyu Khushiji? Khushi was not feeling comfortable when shyam asked this and from the time she entered the Mahal his eyes were only on her.

Khushi : No no anjaliji.. Its already late and we really need to leave no. If not amma, buaji will be worried.

Anjali : Fine then.. actually we are planning to stay here for 2-3 days if possible do come and spend time with us. By the way where do you stay khushi? Khushi : We stay in Indira Nagar Colony.

Khushi and Payal took the blessings of Naani again and walked towards the main door.
