Part 10
Khushi waited for his answer.
"Why dont you think about your assignment instead of wasting your time asking me stupid questions? If you dont remember you have only 13 days left."
"14 and a half" Khushi said.
"Its midnight sweetheart."
Khushi was flabbergated with the information. Midnight? It was already 12?
"Its comforting to know you are awake for me like any dutiful wife would be." Arnav smirked and said while walking towards his room.
"Wife? In your dreams Laad governor."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hows it going on bhai?"
"What is going on Akash?"
"Bhai. You very well know what I am talking about."
"Its good."
"Bhai! I want to know more. What will 'its good' do to me?" Akash whined at the other end.
"It will do you good."
"Bhai plz. I've only 15 mins to talk to you. Payal is in the washroom and I cant tell her anything about it. Else she will spill the beans to Khushi."
"You are already scared of your wife?"
"Not scared. But I cant tell her anything. Not right now. She and Khushi are kind of..soul sisters or something."
"Hmm. Okay, Khushi only knows my name as of..."
"She knows your name already?! But bhai..."
"will you let me complete Akash?"
"Oh sorry."
"Khushi knows that my name is ASR and not Arnav Singh Raizada. Good thing you told her that her subject is Arnav Raizada. Else she could have easily understood."
"That was your idea bhai."
"Yes, and right now it is Khushi who is out of ideas. She has no clue as to how she is going find out about Arnav Raizda."
"Didnt you provoke her for an answer?"
"She said her bf Nandkishore will do it for her if she cannot complete it."
"NK? Khushi's bf? What a joke!"
"Exactly and she thought I'd fall for it. I'm just waiting to know what she will do."
"Khushi's not the one to back out of challenges bhai."
"I know."
"Bhai I'll talk to you later. Payal's here."
Arnav chuckled at his younger brother. He could go to any lenghts to ensure his loved ones are happy without hurting even a fly. He wished he had that quality.
Arnav took out Khushi's diary from his closet and read an entry.
Happiness...
A word with varied definitions.
Some may tell it is the joy that you get after you have accomplished a goal...For some it may be the feeling of being the reason behind someone's smile...while some identify it with having satisfaction of doing a deed which has given them immense pleasure...
All different, yet the same.
Khushi hamesha wo nahi jo hoton par bikhri mukurahat dikhti hai [Happiness isnt always a smile seen on your lips]
Khushi kabhi aasuon mein bhi jhalakti hai [It is sometimes reflected in your tears too]
You neednt be an Einstein or a Maxwell to know what I'm writing is just a piece of random thought which crossed my mind.*shrugs* I'm not a philosophical person. Though yes, I did put some effort in writing the above couplet.Haha!
Joy or sorrow...it depends on you how you handle situation. After all,
Chandramukhi ho ya Paro
Ki fark painda hai yaaro!
[these two lines were said by Drashti Dhami during the promotion of Geet]
Arnav chuckled reading the last two lines. Expect Khushi to come up with something like this.
"You are my khushi. My happiness."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"13 days more.What do I do? Time is slipping out of my hands." Khushi thought helplessly.
"I've never had to slog out so much before in my entire life. I could complete things much faster than now. What is wrong with me?"
"I should never met this ASR. One meeting with him and my whole life has turned upsidedown. Now I cant concentrate on anything. Jalebis have stopped working for me too."
Khushi dozed off muttering to her self.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arnav peeped in Khushi's romm in the morning.
"What the..."
Khushi was still sleeping while muttering to herself.
"Laad governor...ASR...Arnav Raizada...Jalebi...how will I do it?..."
"Pagal." Arnav smirked and walked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arnav was reading the news paper when Khushi walked in.
"Good morning." Arnav greeted.
"Good...Why is it a good morning? It might be for you. I'm in a mess. Every minute seems to be bad for me."
"You cant even greet anyone without your signature lines?"
"What signature lines?"
Arnav was about to tell her when he thought of something and kept quiet.
"You wont ask me about my assignment?" Khushi said after sometime.
"You want me to?" Arnav raised a brow.
"No. But since it seems to have become your fav line I thought it was your routine to add fuel to someone's fire by asking them ques which they cant answer."
"Anything wrong with you?"
"Evrything! I cant concentrate on anything now. I've reached saturation level now."
"You need a break."
"I know that genius. But I'm stuck here."
"I can take you out."
"Thank you so much your highness." Khushi said sarcasm drippng from every word.
"No. I mean it. I too need a break. Okay, we'll leave in the after noon. Be ready."
"What? But where are we going?"
"To Isle Esme!" Arnav said and laughed.
