Part 2 -

Arnav also confirmed with his office that his meeting was scheduled for next Friday, a week from today. He hung up the phone and just sat there, observing his surroundings, and of course, Ms. Khushi Gupta, who was happily and cluelessly engrossed in her music and her laptop, still tapping away.

As he sat there regurgitating the sequence of events leading up to that very moment, he wondered to himself, was this really ethical? He felt like a spy! But he had to do this for the sake of his empire. He had to be absolutely sure she was capable of handling the contract personally and professionally. That's why he had planned his visit such that he would get to know her on both fronts. He quickly brushed his doubts off and justified his actions while continuing to analyze Khushi. Normally, Arnav would jump at any opportunity to rejuvenate and enthrall himself in nature's beauty, as Mother Nature and its finery fascinated him to no end, however today for some reason, his mind was distracted. The splendor surrounding him did not attract him as much as that muffled sound of music from Khushi's headphones and her carefree vibrations to its beats did. He wasn't even aware how brazenly he was staring at her. But even if he did, he had it all vindicated in his head.

He remembered how organized she kept her belongings, and how nervous and worried she got when she heard that her meeting with him may be today and she might miss it. Amused at her momentary Panic and then composure, all the while dripping with innocence, he decided he had done enough studies for the day and forced himself up to take a stroll around the ship.

As he got up quickly to take off from there he hit his toe on the edge of the table leg. He almost squealed in sharp pain as he tried desperately to gain balance.

All this movement caught Khushi's attention. She removed her headphones from her ears and asked politely, "are you okay?"

"Yes yes I am fine. A thump is unavoidable when one walks unfamiliar paths without caution. " He tries to hide his embarrassment in carefully crafted words.

"Well, be careful out here. You will be drifting into new terrains more often than not on this journey." She smiled and said that with such a strange luster in her eyes that Arnav just stood still admiring her naivety yet inadvertent suitability of her statement.

A loud horn from the front of the ship broke him out of his reverie and he finally left her alone to fetch himself an early evening walk. Khushi continued relishing her peace and solitude and Arnav went and freshened up after his walk, finally changing into a T-Shirt and jeans. He then went to one of the onboard restaurants to have dinner only to realize what he had feared all along had just come true.
