Part 7

Hiru and Khushi knocked on Dhruv's door. "Enter," Dhruv said. And Khushi noticed Hiru stiffen.

She didn't know why though. Khushi and Hiru entered his office and sat down.

"Hand me the files," Dhruv held out his hand. Hiru handed them to him when her hand brushed against his and Khushi noticed that Hiru stiffen again. What was going on?

Dhruv was a handsome man. He had these narrow beautiful eyes, chiseled jaw bones, high cheekbones, and pink lips. She had heard all the girls in the office talking about him looks enough times to know that we was a catch. Khushi supposed he was attractive, but she did not think of him in that way. Khushi knew Hiru thought Dhruv was handsome but perhaps there was more.

Dhruv looked through the designs in the file.

"Khushi, Hiru, I know you both have worked really hard on this project but you are going to have to turn this over to the others. They will take over this project from now on."

"But why boss, did you not like the designs," Hiru said. "No, its not that. We have a new project. The biggest client we have ever had, Singhanias. They want out best designers working on the new project. So, I have decided to hand this project over to you, Khushi, and ouma. They have also made another demand. They want us to work together with the'.," Khushi noticed something in his eyes that disappeared as quickly as it had emerged, "AR house," Dhruv finished with a grim face.

"WHAT," Khushi said. "But how can we work with them, they are out rivals right," she continued. Everything was going wrong. She had planned on not thinking about him but how will that be possible if we will have to work with the AR House.

"Yes Khushi I know, but we need this project. If we want to further establish ourselves in the fashion world then we will have to do this. Plus, working with AR house can only bring us more publicity. As much as I dislike this, it is necessary. Anyways, I have already signed the contract, so there is no backing out now. We all are going to be travelling to Goa because the client is currently residing there. He wants us to do this project in Goa so that he can personally review our work along the way. Karan will also be going with us since we will need a fashion merchandiser," Dhruv said.

"Will the AR house designers go to Goa with us as well," but Khushi already knew the answer.

"Yes ofcourse since this is a joint venture." Khushi let that sink in. What is she going to do now? How will she get out of this one.

Hiru was a bit confused so she asked Dhruv, "yes, but the AR house doesn't mind. Why would they want to work with us when we are not as established as they are."

"This is one of the biggest clients out there. If the only way is for the AR house to work with us then that's what they will do."

"Ummm'..if its okay boss can I stay here and work on the Matthias project. I have been working on it so far with Hiru anyways. Hiru can't stay back, so it would be helpful if atleast I do. Plus I am only an assistant designer," Khushi hoped he would agree to this.

"No Khushi, you both will explain everything to the other designers before leaving. The client wants you, Hiru and Ouma there. This will be really good for your career too," Dhruv spoke with finality. And Khushi knew he would not take no for an answer.

"I will brief Ouma on this while you present the Matthias project to the rest of the designers."

Khushi took that as an "end of discussion" and she left his office.

Khushi sat in her room doing last minute packing. Khushi was getting extremely anxious. It had been a week since Dhruv had told her about their trip to Goa. Khushi had convinced her parents to let her go. They did not agree at first because this project was going to take 2-3 weeks, but then she had told them that Hiru and Ouma are also going with her. They had finally agreed. She hadn't told them about this being a joint venture with the AR house because then they would have never let her go. And as much as she wished that she could stay back, she couldn't disappoint Dhruv. She knew this project meant a lot to our company and the clients had wanted her there. So how could she refuse. She would just have to put up with Arnav. And of course arnav would be there. It was important that both Dhruv and Arnav be present there because they were the ones who would be conducting the meetings with the client.

"Bhagwan, please do something so I don't have to be around that rakshas. So that I can have some peace of mind," Khushi spoke to the heavens hoping they would hear her this one time.

Thirty minutes Khushi got a message on her phone. It was Hiru.

Waiting outside Khushi. Hurry up.

"Amma I have to go. Bye amma, babuju, buaji," Khushi said with simmering eyes. She was going to miss them. Ever since babuji had gotten better, Khushi had found it hard to leave him for too long. Perhaps she feared something would happen to him.

"Amma, buaji please take care of babuji until I get back," Khushi said.

"As if I wouldn't take care of him. Go now Khushi, you are getting late. And don't forget to call us everyday," her amma said.

"Thek hai amma, I promise," Khushi yelled as she ran out the door.

Khushi opened the back seat of Dhruv's car got in. Hiru and Ouma were sitting beside her, Dhruv was driving and Karan was in the passenger seat.

"Ready, the flight is in an hour and half. We need to hurry."

"Are the AR House people not coming with us," Khushi asked anxiously. "No, they are coming in a different airline," Dhruv said.

They made it on the flight on time. Khushi enjoyed the last few hours she would have without him around.

Here's part 7. Correction: I just changed something on this part guys: it has been a week not 3 days. Arnav needs some time to recuperate from his surgery, thus I changed the days.

Whenever you see anything like this the'., it means the... For some reason it adds the ' when I copy and paste on here from word.

I am dedicating this to maddy1270 for the encouraging comments she always gives me.

Guys I am requesting you to please comment. I spend so much of my personal time writing, then sending out pm's, then editing, then thinking what new twist and turns I can bring into the story and the only thing I expect in return are comments. And I have been getting very discouraged lately. I have so many views, yet in comparison so few comments. I was even thinking about wrapping this story up by just putting arhi together but then I decided not to since I do like to write and there are atleast some people who enjoy reading what I write. I know I shouldn't get discouraged and that its silly but I cant help it...one equates their success or failure based on the amount of appreciation they get. I am starting to think that perhaps the story itself isnt interesting, I did go from 100 likes on part 1 to 50...😭

If you want pm's add as buddy.

Nisha..Keep going girl!
I'm guessing sparks are going to fly in Goa?
