Part 9
Maybe that Rakshas wasn't so bad after all? Khushi thought as she dressed for work in the morning .
People were never actually what they looked like; she should know.
Not that Rakshas looked evil...he was actually kind of handsome.Better than any movie star she had ever seen .
Hai Devi Mayya! What was she thinking!
Really though, he wasn't quite so bad. He hadn't even taunted her for crying! She wasnt exactly sure as to what his character was.
Khushi ran into the office-as she had a habit of doing wherever she went.Desperately hoping she wasn't late .
Rakshas may be good at heart but he would stake her alive if she was late, that much she knew!
She looked at the clock .Phew!
There were 5 minutes left to 8. She smiled brightly -proud of herself and then paused wondering what exactly it was that she was supposed to do .She was his assistant .Though she had been an assistant for Arsh too ...he hadn't exactly loaded her up with work ...and now she knew why .But ,she also knew that come what may Rakshas wasn't cheap like Arsh.She had nothing to base this theory on but she just knew!She also knew that she would barely get any time to breath being his assistant but somehow,she didn't mind.Infact,she quite enjoyed the thought of it after the catastrophe with Arsh.

He watched her as she entered the office like a flash of lightening causing him to look at the clock.
5 minutes to eight.Hmm..she definitely was scared of him -why did that bother him?It was supposed to please him! He wasnt one to believe in the whole happy worker -better worker ideology and he had previously liked the fact that his employess fell to their knees in fear when he was near.But not with her...this girl felt like more than a worker to him.
But what he saw next took his breath away and made him feel confused at the same time .He watched as her anxious expression shifted to a bright beaming smiling in a split second .She was probably unaware that he was watching her ...why was he watching her?
There was something about this girl he decided unable to come to a logical conclusion.Apart from split personality disorder,ofcourse.
''Now that Khushi is here and your mood is all good again?We'll have lots of time to ourselves won't we?'' He heard Lavanya say flirtatiously.
He ignored her and sighed in response .She would never take the hint,he was sure of that now.She was too dumb to take hints.But,was his condition really quite so bad he wondered? Most men would be vying for Lavanya's attention -she was dumb,hot and very devoted.
Involuntarily ,he looked over at where Khushi was still,standing the remnants of her earlier smile still on her face .Seeing her ,he felt warmth envelop his being ...could it be the mighty ASR was ...smitten?! That too by a traditional girl in salwar kameez which had pom-poms on it?!
Why couldn't he say no to that?!
''ASR!Now I'm beginning to think bringing Khushi over was a bad idea.Your always watching over her and now you have no time for me !'' Lavanya said pouting while clearly seeking his attention.
He wanted to point out that he had never had time for her but stopped himself in time .This wasn't the time nor the place for that -this relationship had meant next to nothing to him but it had meant a whole lot to her.And he would have to be kind to her and apologize for using her,he thought .
''Ooh! I know ! We could set her up with Ravi!You know,the one from the accounts department?I think he already likes her actually.He asked me who she was when she entered and was staring at her for quite some time!'' Lavanya said excitedly.
Arnav felt anger dominate his being as he processed what Lavanya had just said.
''GET OUT!'' Arnav ordered,his tone furious as he turned to give Lavanya a death glare .
He watched silently as Lavanya scuttled out of the room as fast as she possibly could knowing his mood swings better than she cared to .
Lavanya's mindless chatter confirmed something that he dare not admit to himself .He had feelings for Khushi Kumari Gupta .Though he could not begin to fathom how it was possible that he could feel anything for her after meeting her once and talking to her twice ,he knew he did.He, Arnav Singh Raizada -the one who never felt anything for anyone except his Di had feelings for the weird traditional girl with split personality disorder and pom-poms.
There was something about her that drew people to her ,made them like her almost instantly and though he wished he had been -he wasn't immune to it .He,the great ASR was just as helpless as Ravi from accounts when it came to her charms.And talking about Ravi from accounts...his head snapped back to see if he was still leering like Lavanya had suggested ..and sure enough! His anger levels plummeted . HOW DARE HE?!
Arnav's muscles tensed in anger .He then proceeded down the stairs,out of his office in a huff -walking over to where Khushi stood ,confused about what she was supposed to do, now that she was here .
Arnav caught Khushi's arm in a strong grip and pulled her with him - out of Ravi's view and then shot Ravi an angry glare as he pulled Khushi possesively to the foot of the stairs that led to his office . He then retraced his steps to where Khushi previously stood and sent Ravi another horrifyingly scary glare .
''I want the Singhania's and Bhandari's file completed and handed to me by today .Got it?'' He asked - his voice low and calm yet somehow promising violence .
Ravi visibly flinched before picking up his courage to speak .
''B-B-But sir,that was due at the beginning of next month.I-I-I cant possibly-''
''Oh you cant possibly,now can you?Well then, I dont think I need to keep you around since you cant possibly do anything right around here ! ''
''But-but -''
''No if's or but's.I need the file on my desk by 2'O clock today or you're fired .''
Saying so, he turned around and walked over to where Khushi stood,only to notice her expression was more terrified than ever and her mouth was slightly open in shock .
''Khushi?'' He asked ,slightly rueful she had to see all that when he was trying to get her to be comfortable around him rather than fearful.
She closed her mouth and gave him an indignant glare before she asked ''Do you always have to be so rude?Poor Raviji!''
''Rakshas'' He heard her mutter under her breath.
Raviji?!She called him Raviji?! How did she know him anyway?Had they talked? How could she call Ravi- Raviji whilst she called him Rakshas?!And why was she so disgruntled about what Ravi was going through?!
He felt his anger which had ebbed away upon seeing her resurface with a vengeance .
END.
