Part 5
Inside Khushi tried not to panic and think of how to come out of the mess. Of course the devil's voice was booming in her ears.
"How can I get out of here? Why did he...I mean how did..." Suddenly it struck her. The touch. It was familiar. Hell! He himself was familiar.
~~~~~~~~
"Eee! Where's my boarding pass? I dont even have chutta with me. Nanheji had to take my dhanno today. The conductor will drop me off to the next stop. Then how will I reach PVR cinemas? What if I'm late? Edward Cullen wouldnt wait for me..."
She was so busy with her self chatter that she failed to notice a person sitting down besides her and listening to her all the while.
"Where to madam? Pass or ticket?" The conductor came right then.
"Umm..." She was about to explain and held out her hand when her co-passenger held it.
"2 tickets to PVR cinemas." He took the tickets and got settled without leaving her hand even once. She was too shocked to react and kept staring at him.
"I know I'm handsome beautiful. But if you keep staring at me like that to phir..."
"...pyaar ho jayega." She said as if in a trance and completed the dialogue. She saw him smirking and immediately realised.
"I..I mean.." She pulled her hand out of his grip and tried to create some space between them.
"I mean...thank you for the ticket, but didnt have to..."
"Thats no problem." Thats all he said.
She too didnt bother him but smiled slightly. and thought
"Is it thanksgiving?"
~~~~~~~~~
"Eee! How much time passed? Are 20 mins over? What if he barges in?...Nah he wont...But he can...His dole-shole are quite big..he seems well built and..."
"If you are done praising me then come out or I'll come in"
Khushi was so stunned on hearing his voice that she stopped breathing all together.
"Khushi! Are you going to come out? 15 mins are up. You have only five mins." He barked.
"Was he standing out all along?" She thought but immediately on realising that she had only 5 mins she quickly took a shower and grabbed the clothes.
She was about to tie the dori of her kameez when

And the door opened. She whirled around and saw him taking in her appearance. She stuttered and realised she was without a dupatta. She quickly grabbed it and said
"You...please..2 mins more...I'm almost done."
But he kept walking towards her and she backwards till she hit the wall of the changing room.
"You look...amazing." He whispered in her ear.
He turned her around and did the dori.
"The brunch's ready. Lets eat."
He said dragging her out with her elbow trying to make minimal contact with her. She let him drag her and came out to the dining room. It was then that she looked around the whole house as if in awe.
"Beautiful." The words escaped her mouth before she could hold them back.
The whole house was done tastefully. It was fit to be a king's palace. She noticed the portraits and blushed hwen she saw them.
They were her photographs. Right from childhood upto now. Some were clicked hwen she wasnt looking. But all of the were beautiful nonetheless.
"How do you know me? And these photographs? They are from my personal album. How did you get that? Who are you? Have we met before?"
"You'll soon find your answers." That was all she got.
"But when? You've been dodging my questions since so long. I remember you were the one who paid for me in the bus You are the one who helped me countless times. But I want to know about you. I'm totally clueless." She said fiercely in the beginning then softening and finally pleading.
"Arent you hungry? I can hear your stomach rumbling for jalebis."
"Jalebis?! where are they?" She hopped up to him excitedly forgetting she barely knew him.
Khushi eyes landed on theplate full of jalebis and pounced on them. She was so busy eating them that she didnt realise when he made her sit on the chair and started with his brunch.
"Ummm...yummy!...delicious..."
He only looked at her and smirked. Khushi was brought out of the reverie when his phone rang and he put it on the speaker.
"ASR, the Khanna's have sent the blue prints, there are some papers you have to sign and..."
"Lavanya, I told you not to call me except if it was very important."
"But this is important ASR! We have the fashion show coming up..."
"I'll get back to you."
Khushi sat staring at him. Wide eyed. With half the jalebi still out of her mouth.
He turned to look at her and burst out laughing.
She too tenatively smiled. Completely unaware as to what he found so amusing.
"Khushi...khushi..you...your...hahha" He tried to say.
Then he controlled himself thought he was still grinning and pushed the jalebi back into her mouth. As soon as the jalebi met its fate Khushi's eyes widened and her mouth formed a perfect 'O'.
Full credit to dumas for this pic. Thank you sooo much!
He could not hold it and burst out laughing again. Khushi joined him too.
"His laugh is infectious." She thought.
"ASR." She said as if racking her brain.
He sobered at this and looked at her calculatively.
"Oh yes! You are 'the' ASR. You have a fashion show coming up. I've read about you...Heyyy! You might be knowing who Arnav Raizada is. He's an affluent businessman. Haina?" She looked at him hopefully.
"Err. Yeah I know him. He...is...a close friend of mine." He said.
"Seriously? Oh wow! You know I'm a journalist. I've been given the task to interview Arnav Raizada and I have no idea about him. How he looks..where he stays...his office doesnt allow journalists any information. How rude!.."
"Excuse me? Thats not rude. We have work to do. If you guys keep coming into the office every other day we'll have to do something about it."
"Oh hello! Even we do our work. Thats our work to give people news of whats happening round the world."
"Yeah by disturbing others."
"Thats not disrurbing. We ask for an appointment first."
"When you know Arnav Raizada will not give you any appointment then why even try?"
"Try try till you succeed."
"Otherwise cheat."
"Hunh?"
"Nothing. I'm done and going out. Will be back after some time. Dont even try to step out of the house."
"But..but..heyyy!"
He was out before she could say anything.
