Chapter 18
Arjun was super frustrated.
"Pehle to baat nahi karrahi or phir kaha ki chocolates aur roses leker aao aur ab maharani ko 12 colured roses,arghhh aur usse badi chocolates bhi chahiye" Arjun was muttering to himself.
Just then he ran into Sakshi.
"Aree Arjun woh to pagal hai par iska matlab yeh nahi ki tum bhi uske pagalpan mein hissa lo,jab mann karaga tab bolegi kamse kam uske aawaz se toh chutkara milega"
"SAKSHI kitni baar kaha hai ki meri personel life se dur raho"
Arjun who was already irritated by Riya was super angry at sakshi
"Ab mera chehra dekhna baand karo aur bahar se 5 badi cadbury chocolates lekar aao"
Arjun ordered her and then he called the rest of the team to the conference room and gave each some papers and the peon brought some colours.
"Tum sab chahte thee na ki mein Riya ko manao,toh ab usse pure 12 colours ki roses chahiye to chalo colouring karke roses banana suru karo"
Every one thought "Ab police wale artist bangaye"
While Sam was cursing Riya"Kaha phasa diya Riya tumne"
Later when sakshi returned she saw the whole conference table messy. Shree had paint on his curly mop of hair,chotu had few strokes of black on his cheek,Sam and aisha were sticking with glue and Arjun's whole hand was different coloures.
When they saw Sakshi they called her to help them,which she did.She too made some roses and in the process got paint on her shoes and toes.
Riya was looking in through the cctv and was laughing her head off.She knew Arjun loved her but wa stoo stubborn to tell her.Besides the Team was too pent up with tensions and worry they needed to loosen up and who better than Riya to help in that.
By the time the 12 roses were finished every one looked awfully tired and messy.
Arjun took all the stuffs and went to Riya.The others followed.
"Ye lo jaisa tumne kaha waisa hi hai,ab khush" Arjun asked her.
Riya grinned from ear to ear and and hugged him so tight he nearly fell. Then she pecked his cheeks and said "Thank you"
Hearing her voice everyone sighed in relief and said "THANK GOD!!!!"
"Ri agli baar se aesa kuch maat karne,agar Arjun sir tanng kare toh hume bata de hum unhe khub marenge but tu kich maat kar"
Riya grinned while Arjun glared at Shree.
Sam spoke up"shree sahi kehta hai Riya"
Riya went up and hugged shree,chotu and Sam kissing them on their cheeks and then she hugged the ladies even Sakshi too.Sakshi simply smiled at her.
Truth be told she loved helping to make the roses and was kinda understanding things.Riya had noticed Sakshi helping the others and well she just had a really good heart and knew Sakhi deserved a second chance.
"Accha chalo aap sab jakar fresh hojao aur change karlo,aaj mein sabke liye dinner banaoungi,Arjun aap bhi chalo mujhe help chaihiye"
And while Arjun was about to protest seeing everyone's glare he quietly nodded.
AT HOME
Riya definition of help consisted of aata goundna,sabji katna,chawal dhona etc etc while Riya cooked the stuffs and cleaned the kitchen.
By the time dinner was ready,Arjun had flour smeared across his cheek and forehead,he smelled of vegetables and was really worned out.He quickly showered and changed and by the time he finished everyone had already come.
Dinner was nice and pleasant where Riya told them super embarrassing tales of Arjun and Arjun pouted like kid.It was beautiful.
