Chapter 2 : A day to realize about one another
Hey guys.. due to the overwhelming response to my first OS, I ve penned down another chapter to it.. Hope you guys enjoy it!!
Khushi got up the next morning,yawning widely. She sleepily turned to her side to find that Arnav was still asleep. She looked at him with a smile, and unknowingly she ran her hand through his hair. Arnav's eyes flew open. Khushi's hand froze midway in Arnav's hair.Both stared at each other. Khushi was the one to break eye contact as she snatched her hand back and stared at it
Khushi, startled, looking at her hand,: " What's happening to my hand. why is it acting as though it has got a mind of its own"
Arnav : "What????"
Khushi, trying to cover up: " What What ??"
Arnav, incredulously : " What were you trying to do ?"
Khushi, defensively, : " Trying to do?? There.. there .. there was an ant in your hair. I was trying to remove it "
Arnav: "Oh really !! Your hand was running through my hair so softly that I suppose you feared I would wake up , right??"
Khushi, mischeviously : " No.. I feared the ant would be hurt, that's why !!!"
Khushi jumped out of the bed and ran to the washroom
Arnav, sat gazing at the closed bathroom door and muttered,"Unbelievable"
Arnav and Khushi sat silently driving to the office
Khushi : " Why doesnt Akash Jiju come with you. Anyway you both go to the same office and cars dont run on water, they run on petrol and petrol's so costly"
Arnav : " Khushi, for a change, why dont you mind your own business and shut up"
Khushi, making a face at him, muttering : "Always thwarting my questions. I am sure Akash jiju must've got bored as the only things this laad governor says are "What the" and "Unbelievable" "
At the office, Khushi goes off to the canteen and Arnav to his cabin.
At the canteen, Khushi meets some of the girls from the office staff
All the girls say "Good Morning Madam" and introduce themselves as Lisa, Preeti and Anju
Lisa: Khushi Maam, if I may speak freely, you are so lucky. Arnav sir is so moony eyed about. Each time he looks at you, it is with so much tenderness.
Khushi, thinking to herself : What the, this Arnavji is so good at acting, everyone thinks he is mad about me. Maybe he should go into the movies...
Anju, pipes in : Yes madam.. and I know I should not say it, but I cant help it. Its jus t that Arnav sir is so hot and good looking. You are so lucky
Khushi, blurts out : "Hot and Arnavji ??? Girls girls.. havent you seen Salman Khan... mmm.. he is hotness personified... "
Just then the dabbawala calls Khushi. Khushi excuses herself and goes to work
Late in the morning, Khushi enter's Arnav's cabin and sits on the chair across his table. Arnav looks up irritated
Arnav : "Cant you atleast knock before entering"
Khushi : "What for. I am your wife. I can come whenever I wish to"
Arnav exasperatedly, : "Khushi,you..."
Arnav's phone rings suddenly
Arnav, : " Good evening Mr. Mehra..."
Khushi looks at Arnav thinking about what the girls had said
Khushi, thinking to herself, assessing Arnav: "Goodlooking and laad governor...hmmm... well, he's not so bad...and hot??? " Khushi runs her eyes all over Arnav's standing form, trying to peek inside through a button hole that has popped open. Without her realizing, her cheeks begin to warm up She has not noticed that Arnav has cut the call and is now staring at her.
Khushi, thinking to herself : "mmm... hot?? i guess so...but no way can he match up to my Salman Khan.."
She concludes gleefully and looks upto only to find him watch her intensely. She lowers her eyes, realizing that he must've caught her staring at him.
Arnav walks over and leans forward on Khushi's chair
Arnav, : "Why were you checking me out, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada??"
Khushi, answers, her eyes refusing to meet his, : " Checking... why would I want to check you out?"
Just then there is a knock. Arnav and Khushi look up to see a man holding a camera entering.
Arnav : "Hello Jeff"
Jeff: "Hello sir."
Jeff looks at Khushi , as if trying to place her
Jeff, suddenly, : "Khushi, isnt it?"
Khushi, looks up, :" Yes.. oh... you were the camera man who shot my photos last year for the calender shoot"
Jeff: " Right O..I could never forget your face Maam.. you looked so ethereal in that red sari.. "
Khushi, happily: " Thank you so much "
Jeff, raking a glance through Khushi,: " So Miss Khushi..."
Khushi, interrupts him,: "No , Its Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta..."
Arnav. completes for her, looking angrily at Jeff, : "...Singh Raizada..."
Jeff, looks astonished, turns to Khushi : " You got married to Akash...I ll go kick Akash's ass. First of all he forgets to invite me to his marriage and secondly he fails to tell me that he's married to you..."
Arnav and Khushi look at each other amazed..
Arnav, clenching his fists: " Jeff, She is Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada"
Khushi, stares at Arnav, her heart beat speeding up at the possessive and authoritative tone of his voice
Jeff, amazed: " Looks like today's full of surprises.. Anyways, Arnav I ll meet you in the conference hall after 10 mins as scheduled. See you around, Mrs Khushi"
Jeff leaves. Arnav and Khushi stare at each other. Arnav's words still in the air surrounding them.
Arnav, : " Have you come here to do your dabba business or make sure that I dont do mine?"
Khushi, confused at the change in topic,: "What?? Of course not !! Why would I want to interfere in your work."
Arnav: " If that is true, then you better get back to your work and leave me to mine"
Khushi, : " Ok"
Khushi walks down silently,Arna's voice reverberating in her mind, "She is Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada".. Khushi stops and turns around to look up at his cabin, to find him watching her. They stare at each other. After a while, Arnav turns back and goes away. Khushi walks to into the bustling canteen silently, unable to hear anything, due to the deafeningly high sound of the dhak dhak of her heart, drowning all the noise in the canteen.
That night, Arnav sat on his bed staring at a sleeping Khushi,
Arnav drank in her beauty and innocence greedily, wondering to himself, what he had done in life that this girl would never ever love him. He sighed to himself, a lone tear escaping his eyes..
How was it guys!! Did it meet your expectations??? Btw the character Jeff is the guy who was seen at the beginning of IPKKND during the office track who clicks Khushi's pictures in the red sari..ya you got it, the same red sari which made Arnav go Rabba ve... for the first time!!!
