Chapter 9
Khushi smiled as she got up in the morning. There was something innately beautiful about a morning that was peaceful. She stood by her window listening to birds chirp. The sun had just risen. An orangish tint lingered in the atmosphere complementing the greens and browns beautifully. Small dewdrops clung tightly to the slippery leaves as if trying to delay the inevitable drop. The smell of earth was exhilarating. It was a beautiful morning and Khushi Gupta was just relishing her deep breath of fresh intoxicating air when a sharp ring of the doorbell brought her back to reality.
She glanced at the wall-clock. It was just after 7am. Who disturbed anyone so early in the morning? Khushi was almost about to tell off the intruder when she heard the shrill voice of her mother calling out to her. "You have a guest Khushi. Change quickly and come out."

Having changed into something more presentable than her night suit, Khushi made her way out wondering who would want to meet her so early in the morning. And as she stepped out of her bedroom, the sight of an immaculately dressed Arnav Singh Raizada, clad in an onyx black Versace suit sans aviators greeted her.
Without any introduction, he said: "Khushi, I think we have some business to discuss which best might be done outside the house. How do you feel about having a cup of tea with me this morning?"
Khushi nodded mutely. She didn't know what to make of it. A fear that had developed in the pit of her stomach the moment she lay her eyes on Arnav Singh Raizada was growing by the second. She wanted to know what he was upto. She had clearly underestimated her opponent. Now she wanted to know what that was going to cost her.

Arnav had never seen someone look so beautiful early in the morning. He knew he was not being expected. He knew Khushi might have just woken up and yet, he felt she looked more angelic in the morning than she had done in the past when he had met her. How had he missed this?
The women Arnav usually slept with only looked presentable after 12.00 PM, having finished their routine bath and scrub therapy and the application of a cake load of the most expensive make up that was available in the market.
He knew Khushi had no make-up on. And yet it was this simplicity in her look that made blood course through his veins in excitement.
Suddenly it all seemed to fit together. He was feeling this sense of excitement after a very long time, and it was this very same feeling that was making him do what he was just about to. He put his aviators on, tilted his head slightly and whispered "After you" in Khushi's ears as she looked confusingly at him and then made her way out. He liked the look of confusion. It meant Khushi had been unable to gleam his intentions. This was going to be fun.
