Part 22

Nearly 20 minutes passed and she was still seating in the car waiting for him to come out from the restaurant. She was having numerous of doubt for him. For a second he was good and the next moment he proves her wrong. Then the next day he reacts normally like nothing happen and later he starts erupting like a volcano. The only way she found him sweet was when he was DRUNK at least he talk politely and in manner with her even he look scary. She doesn't know how long she needs to understand and learn this man. It wasn't that easy for her after those mishaps he did in her life. He literally made her feel disgusted with herself when he sipped her drinks just to revenge her just because she back answers him. How PATHETIC..! She wonder of him..

Khushi was checking her wrist clock and then the restaurant door to get his glimpse. She sighs in disappointment. She started to read her notebook which she used to joint down the points. That's when the car door of the driver seat open and she hurriedly turn only to see him seating in the car putting the seatbelt..

Khushi: "How is the deal..?"

Arnav: "OVER.." She narrowed her eyes not getting what does he meant by OVER..?

Khushi: "Over for..?"

Arnav(Starting the car engine): "I canceled it.." Her eyes popped out..

Khushi: "But why..? Everything was so fine then why suddenly..?"

Arnav: "I don't feel like doing it so I cancel it.. Its only matter of few Lakhs it shouldn't matter anyway.."

Khushi: "SIR.. Its not matter of money but our principle.. How can you just cancel it without any specific reason..?"

Arnav: "STOP calling me SIR when we are outside AR.. It's my business and I knew very well how to handle.. You are just newbie in this so don't try to be smart in front of me.." He said in irritated tone.

He was already pissed off with Jason upon that she was advising him on should and shouldn't.. He purposely cancels the deal so henceforth he don't have to see Jason face roaming in his office. He don't want any personal or professional contact exchange between Khushi and Jason so he put a full stop to this deal which would be a bridge for them to get know each other.

Arnav(Slightly scanning her): "Wear your seatbelt.." There were no movements from her end. She was glued on her seat as she didn't hear him.. "Khushi I don't like people neglecting my words.. You better wear the seatbelt now.." Her reaction was still same. He sigh in frustration..

Without wasting any more times, he lean forward to her and started to pull the seatbelt.

Her heartbeat rise in such a drastic way when she saw him this near to her.. She rotated on the spot neither she was protesting neither was she accepting. He looked at her through the corner of his eyes and could see she was trying hard to be normal. He was extra carefully by making her wear the seatbelt. He didn't want her to think that he was taking advantages of the situation by brushing himself on her. He hurriedly pulls back once he was done.

Arnav(Start driving): "We are having dinner outside.."

Khushi: "You are taking me out for date..?"

Arnav: "Did I mention the word DATE..?" She clenched her jaw for even meeting this man in her life.

Khushi: "I'm not interested.. Send me home.." She strictly denied..

Arnav: "HP is off for a day.. He applied his leave few hours ago and there is no food at home.. So put your attitude aside.." She raised her brow giving him an unbelievable look. As she know, he was the only one showing her such rude attitude not otherwise.

Khushi: "For your kind information Arnav Singh Raizada, my office hours were only with you till the deal. So now, stop imposing your order on me. I don't like it at all, just like you don't like people back answering you or being rude same goes to me. You can't force me for something which I dislike."

Arnav(Gritting his teeth): "So what should I do make you agree..?" Grin of happiness flashed on her face yet she tried to control..

Khushi: "Ask me properly.."

Arnav: "WHAT..?"

Khushi: "I said ask me properly then only I will agree not otherwise.." She waits for his reply for nearly 1 minutes but yet he was quiet.. "Okey.. Seem you are not agreeing then send me home NOW.." He closed his eyes trying to calm down his nerves.

Arnav: "Okey Fine..!" He took a deep breath before he could continue.. "Ermm.. Khushi will you.. I mean will you mind to join me for a dinner..?"

Khushi: "That sound better.." She literally teased him only to see him rolling his eyes on the other side. "But I need to change. I can't go out like this with my morning clothes. I need to fresh up.." He glanced his wrist watch to see if there are any extra times left for them to change

Arnav: "Don't take more than one hour.." She agreed while he turns his Car towards Raizada Mansion.

************

Arnav was waiting at the living room after changing into black shirt and vest. He started to check the clock and she was late 5 minutes. He was about to call her by turning back but once he saw a petite figure before him his heart skipped a beat. He was mesmerized by her. She was looking way too beautiful in green saree without any diamonds or extra works on the material. She slowly takes step further and stand before him who was still lost. She clicked her fingers to bring him back to present.

Khushi: "Chale..? (Let's go)" He didn't respond but in return he start taking step further.

He opens the car door for her and helped her to seat in the car. While, he went to the driver seat and started to their destination.

**********

They reached at Hotel Purple Orchid and a waiter came forward to show them their table. Khushi was walking behind him while he was two steps ahead. Their table was at the corner a little far from others. He again being gentlemen pulled the chair for her to seat. She didn't comment anything on his behaviour as she was enjoying it.

Arnav: "What you would like to have..?" She started to read the menu before she could convey to him.

Khushi: "I want mushroom soup and Italian pasta well for drinks I want Apple Juice.." He too orders somehow similar to her only the drink was different.

There were again pin drop silences between them, they don't know from where they should start. For fighting they don't need a topic as it come up naturally but now they are feeling little awkward.

Khushi: "You come here always..?" She started something from her end thought it would continue further.

Arnav: "Yes with Veronica.." She don't know why she felt a kind when he utter the name. She know who is this Veronice.. He have mention before too when she was admitted in Hospital and again she was hearing the same name from his mouth after couple of weeks.

There was again numbness from their end. She don't wish to continue this conversation further as she too don't know why..? Is it because he came with Veronica or she don't like him coming here with anyone else unless her..? She didn't care to solve the puzzle but continue sipping her juice to divert her mind.

Their food been served on the table and they started to have them quietly. That's when his mobile buzz showing a message. He open it only to find a short message from Aman..

"Good going ASR.. First step for your relationship to progress now just don't stop over there. Invite her for a dance.."

Arnav just smirked and put his mobile aside while starting having his dinner. He didn't want to reply anything on Aman's demand. After few second, his mobile buzz again showing message.

"Oh come on Dude.. This is a golden opportunity don't let it down.. Who know there is no next time. Use it now.. I know you can do it.."

After reading he again put his mobile aside and continues having his foods. All the while, he didn't notice a pair of eyes was looking at him constantly. However, his mobile buzz again and this time he off it as it was Aman again. He literally looked at her who was staring him..

Khushi: "Veronica...?" He frowned his brows.. Where this Veronica come from..? Did she think the one who is texting him is Veronica..? He wonder.. "She is your girlfriend right..? Won't she mind you going out with me..? What she will think..?"

Arnav: "What she will think..?" He thought of playing for some time with her..

Khushi: "You both are couple what if this dinner plan brings misunderstand between both of you..?" She really feel uneasy to talk anything related to Veronica.

Arnav: "She won't mind.. You don't have to worry.."

Khushi: "So you are in relationship with her and yet you are here dinning with me..? You are cheating on her.." Anger rose in her..

Arnav: "Calm down Khushi.. I'm not cheating her when there is nothing between me and Veronice so stop being Jealous.." He started to have his food while her eyes popped out in disbelief..

Khushi: "I'm not jealous okey.. Why would I..? We don't share anything.." He don't feel like answering her. If he didn't then this argument won't come to end she will keep on dragging and the result would only spoil their evening. That's the reason he prefer staying silent at least for today.

They were done with the dinner and kindly having their desert. Khushi as usual was having ice cream with chocolate chips and Arnav was having just a plain water. He don't feel like having anything sweet or non sweet like her. He started to give ear to Aman's words thought of asking her for a dance but how will he ask her..? Polite way or by showing attitude..? He thought of trying both..

Arnav: "It's too early for us to go back home now.. So let's dance.." It was a command yet a request.

Khushi: "No.." He rolled his eyes.. He somewhere tried politely but yet she denied him. He stood up from his chair and holds her wrist and started to drag her towards the dance floor.

He pulled her closer to him which made her bosom brushed his chest. Her hand clenched his shoulder as she was losing her balance when he pulled her roughly to crush on him.

Arnav(whispering): "Just for few minutes Khushi.. That's what I'm asking.." She looked in his eyes and didn't argue much. The soft music was playing in the background while they were just moving their body little with the music. Their eyes were looking into each other. Slowly, he brushed his finger on her soft cheeks making her closed her eyes due to his touch. He pulled her more closely trying to feel her.

She opens her eyes when she realized his finger was no more touching her. Their eyes again crushed and that's when she can feel him nearing her.

She knew where he was going but she never struggle or pushed him away but in return she closed her eyes before he could attempt her rosy lips. She waits and waits but yet her lip was un-attempted. She opens her eyes and saw him smirking.

Arnav: "Let's go back.."

Khushi: "huh.."

Arnav: "I said let's go back.." he again hold her hand and started to walk with her out from the Hotel after settling the bills. Finally, he saw one improvement in her that she doesn't mind him kissing her again. She didn't resist his touch in fact she was waiting. Seem like he was affecting her somewhere.

**********

The next morning Khushi wakes up a bit late because it was Sunday. She doesn't have any work in office today and she will take this opportunity to take rest fully. Last night, wasn't that easy for her. She was twisting and toasting on the bed thinking why she didn't reacted when he was trying to claims her. Why she wait..? She brushed all her doubts and marched towards the bathroom to get a cold shower.

She was wearing a simple pink anarkali and walked towards the kitchen to see what have HP prepared for breakfast. He has only applied leave for a day and promised to return on the next day.

HP: "Khushiji.. Breakfast is ready I will serve you on the table.."

Khushi: "Where is Arnav..? He won't join..?"

HP: "He already left early in the morning.. He didn't leave any message too.."

Khushi(To herself): "Strange.." She started to walk towards the dining room but the landline bell stopped her intention. She hurried run towards the living room to answer the call which was from Anjali.

Anjali: "Khushiji.. How are you..? Is everything alright there..?"

Khushi: "I'm fine Di so does here.. When are all of you are coming back..?"

Anjali: "Not sure yet.. Dad decided to meet his friends before we return back so it might take some time too.. Maybe after 2 weeks.."

Khushi: "Ohh.. Di why you sound worried..? Is everything alright there..?"

Anjali: "Khushiji.. Is Chotte at home..? I tried to call him through his mobile but its not connecting.."

Khushi: "No.. Di.. Hari Prakash said he already left early in the morning.. What happen Di..? May be I can inform him to return your call once he is back..?"

Anjali: "Actually it's mamma's birthday today.. I was trying to call him to know whether he is fine or not but till now I can't get him.." her voice cracked so does Khushi's eyes which already welled up. She knew how much his mother meant for him.

Khushi: "Di you don't worry I will inform you once he returns home. I promise.." They cut the called while Khushi started to pace in the living room. She tried to call him yet he wasn't answering. "Where are you Arnav..?" She mumbled..
