Part 21

Next morning, Raizada Mansion

Arnav was having his breakfast in the dining room alone without any accompany. He looked at Hari Prakash to ask something he might know.

Arnav: "Where is she..?" He again asked in a diplomatic way without coming direct to the point..

Khushi (Interrupting from behind): "I'm here.."

He turn backwards only to see her in east outfits. She started to walk towards him forgetting what they shared yesterday in the office.

Khushi (Pulling the chair): "Next time.. Ask me directly rather than using postman." He was amazed with her reply. "HP can I have juice.." She couldn't find the juice jug on the dining table and instructed HP politely to bring for her. "What are you looking at me..? There is your food.." Pointing to his plate.. He glance her for once before start having his breakfast. She was really behaving weird today.

Arnav: "Hari Prakash.. You don't have to prepare dinner for me.. I will have outside.." HP nodded on his request and continues doing his work. There were again din drop silences between them. Khushi wanted to ask him something but she was finding some suitable words so she would able to put in words before asking.

Khushi (Clearing her throat): "Errmm.." He looked at her through the corner of his eyes but yet was busy with his breakfast. "Aman called me in the morning." Arnav stop chewing his foods. His mind was hitting on something else nor did he want that to happen..

Arnav: "Related to business..??" In between sipping his black coffee..

Khushi: "Not exactly.. He said that you was the one who told him to take me out so I would able to smile after what you did with me in the office.." He start coughing due to the way she was delivering her message.. The word was little hard for him to digest. "You okey.." She was about to pat his back to calm him but he show his hand signing her stop from coming further..

Arnav: "Don't think I'm giving you importance Khushi. You are my family guest so it's my responsibility to make you comfortable here. If you are talking about yesterday event than that was just a part of formalities nothing more.. All this shouldn't matter to you much either." He stood up and threw the used tissues on the table. "Ohh.. Yeah I just remember you do feel guilty right..? You apologized last night.. Good to see you bending down.." Khushi's eyes widen in disbelief.. She apologized..? She didn't remember anything. She do felt guilty but she doesn't want to tell him anything. Why should she apologize most of the time..?

Khushi: "Really.. I apologized..? Then I take back my words.." She smiles broadly. She too didn't want to lose easily before him. If he is ASR then she is Khushi Malhotra.

Arnav didn't wait any longer. He excused himself and went to office to teach Aman a hard lesson this time..

Arnav's Cabin

Arnav was waiting for his best friend to step in so he would able to give him what he suppose to get from him. He just ruined everything by telling the truth to Khushi. He just doesn't want her to know that he planned this for her.

Aman: "Can I come in..?" He knew he was allowed but still he prefer asking permission first.

Arnav: "You need a red carpet..?" Aman laughed on his lame joke.. "Do you have anything to clear from your end..?" Aman started to think on what he should clear? Did he hide anything from him..?

Aman: "Hmm.. If its related about last night than I'm really sorry.. I shouldn't neglect her. I'm still repenting for my mistake. Even I apologized to Khushi too in the morning. And guess what..? She forgive me.. Such a sweetheart she is.."

Arnav (Gritting teeth): "Don't call her with that name or else I will make sure you land in City Hospital.."

Aman: "Possessive aaa..??" He literally teased him. He didn't give ear to Aman's comment and started to walk towards him and the next moment he grabbed Aman's collar. "wouuu.. What is this ASR..??" Aman asked in little surprised..

Arnav: "Who the hell told you to inform Khushi everything..? Can't you keep it secret..? Idiot..!" Aman chuckled on his way of showing anger..

Aman: "Dude relax.." He slowly pulled out Arnav's grip from his collar.. "It's good if she know that you planned this trip for her. May be she will start liking you due to your impressive plans"

Arnav(Smirking evilly): "You think she will..? Never.. She don't even give damn to me..! There are only hatred in her eyes for me forget love.." He seat on his chair and started to check mails through his laptop.

Aman: "You never know Aman what girls have in their heart. It's so difficult to predict. Even they are in love they will never show they are. The only way to know is through their gesture.."

Arnav: "Seem you did a lot of research to know girls deeply.. I'm impress.."

Aman: "Oh Come on ASR.. Don't show like you don't know anything. Just take her out for dinner she will surely agree.."

Arnav: "What if she denied..?"

Aman: "Be man ASR.." He was trying to hide his chuckled. "If she rejected then just try another time.."

Arnav: "You think I'm that free for all this..??" Aman was surely pissed off with his..

Aman: "Then keep rotting in your ASR mask.. Your ego is so big that you can't compromise for her. You said you love her then this is the time before your family return from their trip. Once they are here, then just forget it. You can't make her fall in love with you.." He gives him a long and relevant speech so he would knock some sense in him.

Arnav: "If you are done.. Please get out..!" Aman fumes in anger. Typical lover he wonder..

***********

Khushi was in the conference room discussing with M.K regarding some designs for the new arrival of AR. They were discussing for nearly half an hour. There was little changes need in the designs before it can be presented to their chief.

M.K: "Honestly speaking.. I'm really impress Khushi. The saree that you design was just superb. I must say ASR will promote you soon.."

Khushi: "I will take that as compliments.." M.K hugged her side way. She really don't mind being close with M.K. He was looking more to girlish type. She didn't consider him as a boy when he dressed mostly like female. In passport or documents he might be male but for her M.K is a female. She really shares a beautiful bond with him just like she shared with Aman. Till now she hasn't mix much with other employee. Most of the time she would be busy in designing or with the secretary job..

There were sudden knock on the door which made them turn to the respective person. Sim was standing at the doorstep giving a kind of glare to Khushi.

Sim: "ASR is calling you Khushi.. In his cabin.." Khushi hurriedly wrapped her work with MK and marched to her chief room with puzzle looks. She clearly knew that she have done her work perfectly so he won't get any chance to complain this time.

She knocked the glass door before entering. She could see he was ready to go somewhere.

Arnav(Adjusting his vest coat): "Get Frankfurt file. We have meeting with them in one hour" She marched towards her cabin and passed the file to him. "One more.. Inform Aman that you are going to join me for this meeting.." Khushi was about to go out to inform Aman but suddenly she stop when the words was somewhere related to her.

Khushi: "ME..??" He nodded in approval. "It's already 5pm. My work end here for today.."

Arnav: "No more argument Khushi. You should read the contract careful before tearing it.." Khushi bite her lower lips.. She know she have missed a lot of fact which she need to learn. Aman have given her another copy and she would start reading it today once she reached home.

Khushi: "Give me 5 minutes.. I will be down.."

Arnav: "5 minutes is too late.. 2 minutes.." Her jaw dropped seeing his domination side. He walked out from his cabin so she would able to curse him on his back which is her routine these days.

Restaurant Lee

Arnav and Khushi was guide towards Rakesh Mittal's table. They were currently having meeting together. Arnav pulled a chair for Khushi being a gentleman. She crept a small smile just a way of thanked him.

Arnav: "Mr.Mittal this is AR's Assistant Designer and my Secretary too, Khushi Malhotra.." Rakesh who was late 50 shook his hand with Khushi.

Rakesh: "This is my son Jason.. He would be leading the new venture of Mittal Industries.." Arnav had a formally hand shake with Jason and he move his hand to greet Khushi too. Without any hesitation she too lean forward her hand which didn't go well with Arnav.

Jason: "Nice to meet you Khushi.." He was being extra sweet with her. Khushi nodded trying to be normal. He was still holding her hands. She pulled out strongly with a small smile on her face trying to create a good atmosphere around her.

Arnav: "Can we start the meeting..?"

Rakesh: "Yeah of course.." They start discussing about the new project and the entire requirement. AR would be the leader of this project as they are far establishes then Mittal Industries. Khushi didn't participate much. She was just jotting down notes which were needed. On the other end, Jason was staring her for nearly 20 minutes which didn't go unnoticed by Arnav was glancing Jason while his mouth was busy chanting regarding business. He wasn't feeling comfortable seeing the way Jason was looking at Khushi. Uneasiness clearly noticeable on his face.. He tried to look around to find a way and that's when he saw a waiter walking towards them from back through the in front mirror which was placed for the customers.

Suddenly, an evil idea hit his brain. He really needs to put a full stop to this Jason. Arnav literally put his leg ahead which made the waiter stumbled his feet and the entire drinks fell on Jason clothes who was seating opposite to ASR. A wide smirk appears on Arnav's face. Smirk of satisfaction.

Waiter: "I'm sorry.. Sir.." The waiter keep asking forgiveness for the mistake that he didn't did.

Jason: "It's okey.. I will clean it by my own.." He excused himself and walked towards the gent rooms. Raqesh too excused himself when his mobile rang probably a business calls. Khushi didn't react much on what just happen with Jason. She just thought it was an accident even it was done by her chief.

Arnav(looking at Khushi): "Take this key and seat in the car.." Khushi was surely surprised with his order. He was held bend to bring her here and now he was requesting her to seat in the car..?

Khushi: "Then the meeting..?"

Arnav: "I will handle. Just seat in the car and locked the door.. I will reach in 15 minutes.." He gives her the car keys and literally pushed her with his stern gaze. She didn't argue much and walked out from the restaurant only to make Arnav Singh Raizada sigh in relief as he doesn't want anyone to come in between him.
