Hum Saath Saath Hain Part 3
Raizadas invited their close ones for a puja.
Manohar,Manorama and Ragini arrived.
Mano:Hello hi bye bye…today I am not late.Since it’s a puja i did’nt dress up properly.
Manohar whispered:Manorama…don’t make a fool of yourself.Anyone who sees your face can understand the amount of make up you put.
LAKSH giggled:If this is not heavy make up what will be her heavy make up?
Ragini:Stop it LAKSH.
Suddenly Ragini felt uncomfortable:Oh no.The saree’s pin is getting loose.
She pinned her saree pallu again.LAKSH was lost in her.He felt that hearts were flying all over.
LAKSH:Ragini…pin it properly.If the pin gets loosened the saree will fall and I may lose my control.

Ragini:Shut up LAKSH.

The Guptas arrived.

Arnav was carried away by Khushi’s beauty in saree.Khushi blushed seeing Arnav looking at her.
Raman’s face blossomed seeing Ishita.Ishita was very happy to see him.
Prerna:So nice that you all came.
Rani:Ishita also at the puja?I thought Ishita won’t be interested in all this.
Khushi:Ishita knows all this better than me.

Rani:Really?

Arnav got irritated:Khushi saw me.She enjoys my presence.But she is pretending as if she has’nt even seen me.

While lighting lamps Khushi saw Arnav.
She thought:It seems that Arnav is really cut up with me for not going near him.But how can I do that when all are around us?

Ishita also lit lamps.
Prerna:Ishita is an expert.
Rani:Though Ishita was not brought up in India she knows our customs and traditions so well.Right Raman?

Raman smiled:You are right Rani.Ishita is a girl who knows our culture very well.

They did aarti.Raman sang bhajan

.
Arnav stood near Khushi:Khushi…come near the staircase.
K:Arnav…you pray instead of talking to me.

Arn:I am praying that you will meet me after the puja.
Khushi closed her eyes controlling herself.

After the puja…
Khushi looked tense.
ISHITA:What happened Khushi?
K:Ishita…Arnav wants to meet me now.
ISHITA:Meet him.
K:But in this occasion how can I go to him?
ISHITA:So what?Puja is over.
K:What will others thiLaksh about us?

ISHITA:Everyone is aware of your feelings for him.Then what’s the problem?You should go to Arnav.You both love each other with the family’s support.So there is no obstacle.
Khushi smiled.
She went near the stairs where Arnav was waiting.He held her closer.
He leaned towards her face.She got lost in him.

Coming back to senses Khushi pushed him.
K:What is this Arnav?Are you not ashamed?
Arn:Why should I be?I am with the girl I love.
She blushed.
Arn:These days I am not getting you near me.
K:What to do Arnav?We both are so busy.
Arn:That’s what..so we both should utilize the time we get.
He pulled her in his arms.She blushed.

Ishita:Raman…you used to sing during our childhood days also.But only when you sang during the birthday party I realized what a gifted singer you are.Now you sang bhajan so beautifully.

Raman smiled:Nothing like that Ishita.I just sang for my dearest ones.
ISHITA:Is it?Then you should sing for me also?
Raman got confused:What?
ISHITA:Ask yourself.You will get what I meant.

Ishita walked off giving him a smile.

Gupta Mansion…
Ishita went near Khushi:Khushi.I want to tell you something very important.
K:Tell.
ISHITA:I love Raman and I want to marry him.
Khushi was shocked:Ishita…did you think properly before saying this?
ISHITA:Why should I think again and again if I love Raman or not when I am in love with him since childhood?
Khushi was stunned:What?

ISHITA:Yes Khushi.During childhood I used to like Raman a lot without knowing that it’s love.When we left for UAE I was sad as I knew that I won’t be seeing Raman at all.During teenage I thought what I have for Raman was crush.But when I got mature I realized that I am really in love with Raman.Khushi,I used to ask you to send me Raizada family pictures to see Raman only.The pictures you sent me are close to my bosom and that’s why I did’nt take time to recognize Raman when I saw him at the birthday party.Even Raman does’nt know how I recognized him without making any effort.And the reason why I left UAE to work here is only because i love this place,but also because I want to be close to Raman.
Khushi was stunned.

Slowly she smiled:I am so happy Ishita.
Khushi hugged her.

Khushi rushed to LAKSH and Arnav.
Arn:Khushi…Why are you so excited?
K:You guys will be double excited if you hear what I say.
LAKSH:What’s the matter Khushi?
K:I told you that a girl who really loves Raman bhaiyya will enter his life.Finally she has arrived.
Arnav and LAKSH could’nt believe it:Who?
K:You guys will be shocked:Ishita!
They were really surprised:Ishita?

LAKSH and Arnav took Raman to a place.
Raman:Why did you both bring me here?
Khushi brought Ishita there.Raman was surprised:Ishita?
LAKSH:Now you guys talk.We are leaving.
Raman:But why are you all leaving?
Arn:For privacy.
They moved away leaving Raman and Ishita alone.
Raman:Ishita!I don;t understand what’s happening.
ISHITA:Raman,I want to talk to you.Did you understand what I said that day?
Raman became dull:To be frank no Ishita.
ISHITA:No problem.I will say what I meant.I meant…I love you.Will you marry me Raman?
Raman was shocked.
