CHAPTER 8: Hamari Galti

Khushi was shifted to Arnav's cabin. Along with designing Khushi was doing the job of PA. Arnav being genuine businessman gave her good salary for that.

Though Khushi accepted the job easily, it was not an easy task. Staying near the person whom you loved from the age when you don't know the L of Love and behaving indifferent was not at all easy. Khushi had to pull all the strings of her self control to stay calm and not yell at him.

Arnav on the other hand was enjoying, khushi running here and there.

"Khushi get me a cup of black coffee."

"Khushi get this letter ready"

"Khushi get these files ready"

"Khushi bring Mr. Sen's file for sign"

"Khushi are the designs ready?"

"Khushi where is my coffee?"

At the end of the day Khushi used to fell on her chair with a thud catching her head.

Khushi: Huh! Laad governor kahin ke. He is making me a run like P T Usha. If the film producers come to know this, they will launch a new Movie.

BHAAG KHUSHI BHAAG!!

This will be Khushi's state at the end of the day. And daily Sasi used to pick up and drop Khushi. Arnav first was confused and jealous. But later through HP he came to know that he is Khushi's father. Only then Arnav breathed in relief.

Like this 1 month went. Arnav had to put in lot of effort and time to study the system of the office. That's why he could never concentrate on anything else in this 1 month.

Khushi's thought: Hamein satane se phusat mile tab hi toh kuch aur soch payenge. Laad governor.

He can think of something else only when he gets time from irritating me.

In this 1 month on thing Khushi noticed was that, Arnav called her by her first name mostly and when he is irritated he calls her y surname. Another thing is that, he dint dig the topic of that day still and she knew that he will surely ask her some or the other day. Khushi decided to be prepared, because she knew ASR was not someone who could leave something half way.

As Arnav's settled in this new office, he had time to think of trapping Khushi. And the circumstance was created on itself without his effort.

One evening, Khushi was completing the last design that has to be submitted not bothering the time as today Ashwin was to come to pick her and he will be late as he will be coming from his classes.

Arnav opened the glass partition and entered her cabin.

Arnav: Khushi?

Khushi snapped her head to see him standing dangerously close to her.

Arnav: I came across your record today.

Khushi's eyes widened and then she raised her eyes brow in question and she got up from her seat.

Arnav: I saw that 1 month back you took sick leave, that too for 4 days? Was it from THAT day?

Arnav wantonly gave a stress on THAT. Khushi knew that some or the other day this question will rise. But she dint expect it now, this soon. But she decided to be true. To a safe extent.

Khushi: YES

Her answer was crisp. And if Arnav was surprised at her short straight answer, he dint show it.

Arnav: is that why you left the hall abruptly?

Khushi's face expression changed from straight to pain to angry as he watched.

Khushi's state was growing worse. The day's memory flashed in her eyes as it is bringing all her sorrow and heart break.

Khushi closed her eyes and fisted her palms controlling herself which again Arnav noticed. Then she opened her eyes, which were again expressionless now and stared at him.

Arnav saw her for sometime as if he was seeing through her.

Then he spoke with small smile.

Arnav: See I am a businessman Khushi. This question is also for the benefit of my business.

Khushi: I dint know that MY PERSONAL was your business.

Khushi folded her arms over her chest and raised her brow.

Arnav(Thought): Wow, not bad. I am enjoying this.

Arnav: If you were sick and if its something serious then I should always be ready with another staff. What if you suddenly disappear like last time? So its better I know such details.

For a second Khushi was dumb. But immediately she retorted.

Khushi: Dont worry Mr. Raizada. I will inform you if such things happen. For now, I have finished the design. So let me leave.

Khushi said getting her things.

Arnav: not so soon Ms. Gupta. Here I am trying to go easy and smooth with you trying to solve the puzzle before me and you are showing me attitude? Not done.

Khushi hung her head.

Khushi: Its time. I have to go.

There again a crisp reply.

By now Arnav was at the edge of his patience.

Arnav: FOR WHAT?

His question was implying some thing more which Khushi identified and gave him a deathly glare.

Khushi: Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. You are going beyond you limits. My work time is over. Let me leave.

Saying she started moving.

Arnav neared her and tried holding her shoulders when Khushi swat his hands.

Khushi: Don't touch me.

Khushi snapped.

Arnav: Huh! See who is telling. That day you were the one who clung to me and danced for hours.

Immediately a light red hue spread on Khushi's cheeks and neck in embarrassment. She dint know what to say. How could she say that he was her prince charming of her dreams for past 8 years. She hit herself for even thinking that he might remember her.

Arnav enjoyed her red face and mainly her red nose. RED His favorite color went well with her skin he thought.

Arnav: I never knew that there still girls who feel shy and go all red. Nowadays girls have turned shameless. I am happy to see atleast one like you Ms. Gupta.

Khushi with great difficulty composed herself and answered.

Khushi: See Mr. Raizada, that day what ever happened was not intentional. It was.. it was just a.. a m.. mistake, Hamari g.. Galti. Just that I was happy in my best friend's marriage.. so.. I dint pay atten..tion..

Khushi stammered and Arnav interrupted.

Arnav: A MISTAKE? You say that a mistake? Do you know how I felt when you were staring at me like that? It was like you were teasing me with your eyes. Your eyes..

Arnav stopped his yelling abruptly seeing her struggle with herself.

Arnav: WHAT?

Khushi was having great difficulty. The truth was dancing on her tongue. But she held herself from blurting it out.

Who knows? He may not believe. He may insult her. and worse he may make fun of her feelings which she can never bare.

But her heart screamed.

Though it was not easy staying close to him, she continued her job only to have a glimpse of him everyday. Can she say this truth to him? NEVER!!

So she thought that its better to stay in first decision of lie.

Khushi: Whatever you think Mr. Raizada, That day was just a mistake. I have moved on. Neither you asked me for a dance. Nor I agreed. Nor we danced. Nor you asked me for a night. Hope you also cooperate in putting this aside and maintain a professional relation.

As Khushi was fighting her tears, Arnav neared her to catch her shoulders when an angry voice boomed from his cabin.

STAY AWAY FROM HER!!
