Chapter 26

Part 24

The last eight hours were those blissful hours for a monster who live in his own term and don't give damn to others. He always has a peaceful nap but today the moments were way too special. He was sleeping in the embrace of a person whom he loves yet he didn't want to put his love in words and always prefer giving an indirectly hints so that the opposite person would understand what he was trying to hints. But as always, it wasn't an easy task for Khushi to understand him. Each passing days he would be in different shades. For some days he might be the most desirable hunk and at the next moment he would a beast who only knew how to roar like a lion. His way and thinking are totally different from her. She is a bubbly and always prefer smiling doesn't matter her happiness lies in it or not. And he? There was always anger visible on his face. He hardly smiles and he wasn't good in a term of communication. She love speaking and he don't. In a day he hardly speaks more than necessary unless he is with his clients discussing on some project.

The brightness of the sun was coming through the curtains and probably disturbing him from sleeping further. He raked his hand on his hair brushing it away from falling on his forehead. He realized there is something hard on his chest. The entire memories of last night flashes before his eyes. How she stopped him from drinking. How she scolded him for neglecting his health when he is a diabetic. How she consoled him trying to make him understand that he should let go of his mother rather than living in shells where there would be only grief and sorrow surround him. He even realized that he requested her to stay beside him for a night and she didn't denied.

He makes her laid on the pillow so she can sleep peacefully. He didn't want to disturb her and let her take some rest. In all this days, he have trouble her a lot and scolded her for unnecessary. He know he was wrong but it was so difficult for him to admit everything. His eyes adored her. She just looked like an angel. Whenever, he stare her there were different kind of soothes in his heart. His hand literally brushed her cheeks. There were so soft. He keeps admiring her for another few seconds. His entire day won't go waste if this is his daily routine. He prefers staying hours before her eyes but knowing the fact what kind of relation they shared. He didn't want to shock her when she open her eyes only to find him in front of her. She might know everything but at the same time she might felt embarrassed. He was about to move but yet again he been pulled back. She clutched his collar tightly as she didn't aware of her own gesture. Arnav's eyes went to her grip and his eyes looked back at her. She was still sleeping. He gently makes her leave his collar and placed her hand beside her. He covered her with the duvet and exited in the bathroom taking his clothes and towel.

*********

Two hours passed and yet there were no sign of Khushi waking up from sleep. Even Arnav already left to office and he strictly worn HP not disturb her. HP didn't argue much and keep himself busy in his work. The sudden bell rang on her mobile literally jerk her in surprise. She seat on the bed with her eyes scanning the room. It wasn't new for her but the feeling was so strange. She started to recall what happen yesterday and her eyes hurriedly went to see the bed beside her. It was vacant! She sigh for not finding him. That's when her eyes checked the clock it was showing 10am.. Her eyes popped out in disbelief.. How can she sleep like this..?

There were another rang on her mobile which she answer immediately. If was from M.K. The head designer of AR..

M.K: "Ohh.. Khushi where are you..? You are late to office.. Just check the time.. Its 10am.." He was looking more nervous than her.

Khushi: "M.K. I just wake up.. I know I'm late but it didn't happen purposely. I didn't realized anything.."

M.K: "Khushi.. You better hurry up. ASR is still not in the office. He has meet with some clients and takes this opportunity to escape from his wrath. He hates late comer.. I will try to handle everything for now.." He was pacing in his cabin with his hand swimming in the air.

Khushi cut the calls and jump down from the bed. She can't blame herself for this. If he didn't stop her last night then she won't late to office. She was always punctual but only today she was hell late and the reason was her boss. But deep in her heart she was wondering.. Why she was so much lost in the slumber and his embrace..? She knew she don't have time to struggle with her brain but still she can't help from asking numerous of question to her heart. WHY..?

***********

Khushi enter in the office wearing a black skirt above her knees with blue lace top and blue heels. She tied her hair in loose buns and some hair stands were resting on her forehead. She was running inside with her eyes looking straight. She didn't check left or right to see the employees who were staring her with their lips mumbling something unknown. Khushi run to MK's cabin and found him restless.

Khushi: "Arnav.. I mean ASR Sir is here..?" She was aware that MK and some important Manager knows her status her but none of them are aware that she has a special space in their chiefs heart.

MK (Turning behind): "Oh God Khushi.. You scare me.. Thank God ASR is not here yet.. Or else you are dead.. Even Aman is not here too.. I'm wondering where these both went..?" That's when Khushi remember something about Aman..? She has some grudges with Aman which she would solve once she meets him. He has to answer her from hiding Arnav's whereabouts last night.

Khushi (sighing in relief): "Thank God.. I didn't even had my tea and breakfast.." She complained.

MK: "Let me call the someone to prepare something for you.."

Khushi: "No.. No.. I will catch my tea from the pantry.. [PAUSE] Anyway, thank you so much for helping me out. I owe you for this.. Later I will treat you drink at your place.." She winked at MK and left his cabin.

Before moving to the Pantry she kept her purse in her Cabin and went downstairs to prepare tea for herself. She was about to enter inside but the few voices of the respective person stopped her at the doorstep.

Sim: "I told you Pam.. But you never believe me.."

Pam: "But I never thought she will be like this.. I mean ASR and Khushi..? I still can't believe this.."

Sim: "Even I was shocked. I heard everything when Khushi resume her work in AR. I heard hers and ASR's conversation. They have shared more than a kiss.."

Pam: "How lucky she is na..? She kissed ASR and here we are dying to get glimpse of him. He don't even look at us.." They pouted sadly.

Sim: "Well, I'm not CHEAP like her.. Who knows what else she has shared with him..? Girls like her can stoop so low just for money.. I feel pity for her when ASR kicks her out from this office. Where will she go then..?" Tears store in Khushi's eyes. She been accused at this extend for no mistake of hers. She have never done bad to anyone then why she has to go through all this..? Somewhere, she could guess that was the reason the employee here was hesitates to talk with her as their ears already filled.

Pam: "Sim it will be fun to watch na.." They breaks into laughter feeling satisfied for mocking a person at this extend. Khushi couldn't wait there any longer. Her tears were rolling on her cheeks. She didn't want to cry but when the word CHEAP echoed in her ear drum she couldn't able to stop her tears from shedding. She wipes her tears so no one would notice and turn behind only to left shock to see Arnav Singh Raizada standing behind her. Anger was reflecting through his eyes. The entire AR stuff was looking at this scent of their chief.

Khushi was clueless. She don't know what she should do now..? She thought of leaving this place as she didn't want to create any scene here. She passed a weak smile to Arnav and was about to walk away but he hold her wrist firmly stopping her. He walked in the Pantry dragging Khushi with him. She didn't struggle as she could see he wasn't in a term of compromising.

Pam and Sim were shocked to see ASR here with Khushi. Their eyes went to the grip of ASR on Khushi's wrist and both of them shares a look as a way of confirming.

Arnav: "What are you looking at..?" He asked in stern voice. His nerves were clearly visible due to the anger he store within him.

Pam: "Actually ASR.. We.. I.. Mean.. We.. Nothing.." She stammered..

Arnav(Showing the hold of his to them): "You are looking at this..?" His eyes were ragging fire.

Sim: "No.. We was talking on business related stuff.." She gulped down her fears.. Khushi was looking at Arnav as she know he was already in a worst condition.

Arnav: "My life is none of your business DAMN IT..!" He shouts on top of his voice shaking the ladies beside him. Sim and Pam hold each other trying to balance their body due to force of his voice.

Sim: "Sir we.. we was.."

Arnav: "SHUT UP..!!" He roared again like a hungry lion. Leaving Khushi's wrist he took two steps ahead only to make Pam and Sim move backwards. "What did you said..? Cheap..? Bloodily HELL..!!" He was about to storm on them when Aman came in between them and stopped Arnav from moving further.

Aman: "ASR.. Let me handle.. You just leave everything on me. I promise I won't let you down.."

Arnav: "I want them out from my office or else I won't spare them.." he worn looking at Pam and Sim. Aman nodded in agreement and was trying to push him out from there. He walked towards Khushi and again hold her wrist.. "You come with me.." he dragged her out from the Pantry and went to his Cabin.
