Part 6:

Iti during the course of the cruise remained baffled wondering why she was never able to run into Arnav. "Did her source give her the wrong information this time?" She wondered. She couldn't understand why he would've been there otherwise. She even tried asking a crewmember but he rejected her questions in name of privacy protection. Finally, she decided to make the best out of it anyway because the brainless bimbo in her had invested so much money in this trip and the shopping associated with it just to look the best for Arnav.

she bought new clothes for the trip !!!😆 interesting .. well i would too ...😉

Cruise ended on Wednesday morning and Khushi and her friends reached home safely by that evening. They waved each other final goodbye as they reminisced over how exciting and absolutely memorable this adventure had been. Khushi spent all of Thursday recuperating from her journey and catching up with family. But it was the least relaxing day as her anxiety at the idea of meeting Arnav Singh Raizada was growing by the hour. She had dealt with many execs before but she never felt the way she was feeling today. This unfamiliar striking sense telling her something unimaginable was about to happen overpowered her mind and soul. A strange uneasiness had left her confused but she tried her level best to brush it off and get on with her day.

kyun bhai? aisa kya kar dia hai iss Arnav Singh Raizada ne jo itna nervous ho rahi hai apni K2g?though the feeling was so real and relatable.i felt that way when i first met beefu too😳

Finally, it was Friday morning. Khushi was supposed to meet Arnav Singh Raizada at the Raizada Branch Office in 2 hours. Both were looking forward to, as well as dreading this meeting for their own reasons. "Will it be awkward?" They both asked themselves this question over and over again in the mirror as they got dressed. "What will I say to justify myself?" Arnav wondered. She on the other end grew even more fidgety as the time drew closer. Ultimately, she gathered herself and left to get to the Raizada office.

so cute ...😆🤣😡 mujhe macchar kaat rahey hai ..🤢

She reached there exactly half an hour early so she could get settled in with her presentation and the rest of the setup. At reaching the office, she met with Laksh, Arnav's assistant who had just flown in from India to facilitate this meeting.

"May I please be pointed to the conference room so I can get started on setting up for the meeting?" Khushi met with Laksh and politely asked him.

"Ma'am it would be my pleasure, however can you please give me 5 minutes as I have strangely been unable to locate Mr. Raizada. It is highly unlikely of him to have gone missing like this. We've been trying him for the past hour but he hasn't attended a single call." Laksh pleaded in deep concern.

🤣🤣🤣

"Sure, take your time." Khushi responded as she walked to the waiting room and stood by the window looking outside.

The weather had been fluctuating the whole week and kept changing from bright days into cloudy rainy days and vice versa. It started to slowly drizzle as she continued looking at the outside view. The Raizada office was located away from the industrial area and had large property which had been turned into marvelous landscape. The fully bloomed flowers of various colors, the rich trees, and other greenery were mesmerizing. All colors were turning a shade darker from the touch of water now starting to disseminate across them. The intensity of the rain was only growing. Just then, the flash of her previous encounter with rain flooded Khushi's mind. She remembered Azad's relentless gaze at her on that deck, as the rain had immersed them in each other. She remembered his words, "Hum mausam ki nahi, pyar ki barsaaton se dar ke bhagne walo main se hai." "What did he mean by that?" She wondered.

ahan !!! kahin pe nigaaahe, kahin pe nishaana ... interesting ...!!!😃

Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted as Laksh came from behind and spoke to her. "Excuse me ma'am!"

Khushi turned around, a little startled. "Yes Mr. Laksh?"

"Ms. Khushi, I have been able to trace Mr. Raizada and he is unable to attend today's conference live as he has fallen terribly sick. He has however agreed to attend it as a video-conference as he does not want to back out from his commitment." Laksh explained.

das bahane kar ke le gaye dil !!! lukka chupi bahut hui samne aa jaa na ..!!! kaha kaha dhoonda tujhe thak gayi hai ab khushi amma !😉

Back at the hotel room, this was Arnav's way of avoiding the meet with Khushi, as he had not yet figured out how he was going to answer the scorching questions in her ever so innocent eyes when she would see him. He had already recovered from his fever, and had even gotten dressed to get to the office, but chose to stay in and connect using the internet instead.

arey arey !! milne hi toh bola hai .. wo usey kha thodi jayegi ..!!!😆 damn cute ... mujhe lagta tha sirf ladkiyan nervous hoti hai .. ladke bhi .. too much !!! waise Nicky tumhe yeh sab kaise pata?😉

Khushi felt mixed reactions at hearing this news. This meant she would not be able to meet Arnav Singh Raizada today. She was sad and relieved at the same time. It was a reaction she wasn't used to sensing coming from herself. Alas, she shrugged it and got to work. She setup the video conference and prepared the presentation. Arnav was supposed to call five minutes before the scheduled meeting time. Everything was all set now only awaiting his call.

damn you woman !!! 😡 this sounds so bloody real. I always avoid my viva sessions also like this in the last moment because I am scared of facing the examiner in front of other classmates. So i do it in the end with an excuse. But the point is, Viva toh deni hi padti hai pass jo hona hai ...😃

The phone rang just moments later. As had already been decided, an exhilarated yet frightened Khushi answered. "Good morning Mr. Raizada. Thank you for calling in despite your illness. Hope you continue feeling better. We have the presentation all setup. Please direct us when you are ready and we shall get started."

chalo kam se kam phone pe toh baat kia 🤣🤣☺️

Suddenly, Arnav's world just stopped at the other end of that phone. He had conversed with Khushi many times before, but hearing her voice today ignited sensations inside his soul like never before. He sat there relishing her voice on that speaker phone as if listening to the jingling bells so endearingly on Christmas Eve. His heart seemed to start beating a bit faster but he didn't know why. He just assumed and nodded it off by calling it the anxiety of hiding the truth from her.

rabba vey .. rabba vey... ho rabba vey .. well well.. you know who i am missin right now?? Baba and ofcourse Raj Aryans Violins 🤪

Finally, a voice from the other side snapped him out of his daydream. "Are you still there Mr. Raizada? We cannot see you on the Video for some reason." Khushi spoke on the other side.

"Yes, actually that is what I was trying to figure out. My software seems to be acting up on me. I think we must just go ahead with the web presentation without the video." Arnav dodged the threat once again.

ey lo !!! why did i just know this was going to happen? why why why????😉

In the conference room, Khushi just as well went silent at the instant where she heard Arnav's voice. This familiar masculine voice reminded her so much of Azad. Was she imagining this? Could she be missing him that much? "This is absurd." She told herself, and carried on with the presentation. They spent the next two hours discussing, brainstorming, and exchanging layout, plan, and content of their next few months, all the while the restlessness growing inside both their hearts.

hayeee... me is 🤢 nicky !!! why do you do this ...❤️

At the end of the presentation, Arnav was thoroughly impressed with Khushi's attention to detail, her in-depth knowledge and insight in her field, and her ability to express her thoughts and vision so clearly on paper and verbally. He had concluded that there was nothing more to examine about Khushi. She was more than capable of handling the projects assigned to her and he needed not to worry. He expressed the same thoughts to the team, wished her good luck, and told her he will see her in India in a week.

okay this bit was boring🥱 LOL .. i mean romance ke beech main kaam!! who cares if she was good at whatever issey thodi woh attract hoga ..🤣 🤣

Overjoyed that he had evaded this confrontation with Khushi for another week, he felt extremely relieved and went out of the hotel to get fresh air and grab some lunch.

intersting characterisation!! Naam hai Azad yekin kaid ho gaya khushi ke yaad, khalayo aur pyar main ...😳🤢

As he pulled into T.G.I Friday's, someone else tried backing their car out to park properly, getting into a fender bender with Arnav. Angry and annoyed, Arnav got out of the car to scold the driver, but ended up overjoyed and overly frightened at realizing who it was.

Khushi's reactions on the other end were same to same!

all i wanna say is ... "THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY" sorry that was a lame one, but couldnt help it.. feels good to be back !!!! and this was mind blowing...🤗
