FF: The Thin Line, part 11 on 49 (upd 6/2)) - Page 26

Part 10

Arnav ji dragged Khushi to a secluded area and then Khushi pushed him away. He stumbled back and composed himself a moment later. "Khushi who was that man," he said with a slight slur. Was he drunk?

"That is none of your business Arnav ji," she assured him. "None of my business Khushi, of course it's my business."

"Really, would you bother to tell how exactly that is? Why should you care who I dance with? Who are you to even ask me such a question," Khushi was losing her temper now. Who did he think he was? The last time she had spoken to him he had been flat on his bed recovering from a surgery and still he had managed to insult her and now he wanted to ask her questions about her personal life.

"Who am I? I am Arnav Singh Raizada, your'.," he did not finish the sentence.

"My what exactly. Nothing. You are not my friend, you are not my mother, you are not my father, you are not my husband. After everything you have done you are nothing to me Mr. Raizada," Khushi said. That seemed to change the expression on arnav's face. He looked taken aback.

"Surprised Mr. Raizada, I am not the same girl you once knew. I am not a nave 20 year old anymore," Khushi said with pride. And she was not the same girl. She may still care about him, but she would not let that rule her life. Not anymore.

"Now if you will excuse me Mr. Raizada, I have a party to attend," Khushi said.

"You don't want to tell me who he was, fine. But atleast tell me what are you doing here in this party?"

"I was invited Mr. Raizada. Your company and the company I work for are working together on the Singhania's project,"

"You work for the Couture House?" arnav ji looked very surprised. "Yes. You are not the only one with brains Mr. Raizada. I spent the last three years making something of my life. I am an assistant fashion designer at the Couture House," she said with pride, after all she had worked very hard to get where she was and she deserved every bit of it.

"Now if you will excuse me my colleagues must be looking for me'.I really must be going," with that she turned around and left a very dumbfounded looking arnav.

"Khushi what the hell was that? Did you know that man? Why did that man drag you out of here?" a concerned Karan asked when Khushi got back to the party. "I would have followed you, but I got the sense that you knew him," Karan said.

"Calm down Karan, it's not a big deal. He just had a misunderstanding. He thought I was someone else," he did not look convinced but he let it slide.

Hiru looked around the party hoping to see him. But she had still not spotted him. Where was he?

She pouted a little, she had gotten dressed up'.for him and he was nowhere to be found.

"Hiru what are you doing standing here alone," Khushi said as she approached her.

"Uhh'nothing. I was just looking for you," she lied. Hiru did not want Khushi to know. Just then Dhruv walked in through the double doors. And her face lit up. Damn, she had it bad. If she didn't do something soon, she would fall head over heels for him. It wouldn't even be hard really considering the way he looked at her'.as if he wanted her. He approached her slowly and she could tell he was looking her up and down. She could see male interest in his eyes. He did want her. She hadn't been wrong.

The rest of the night passed as Khushi felt Arnav ji's gaze on her all the time. She had become so conscious that she had started fidgeting. Why did he keep staring at her? She had been afraid that arnav ji would say something to her colleagues'.her friends but thankfully he hadn't. She did not want them to know. Arnav ji was a part of her past and it was better to keep the past buried.

"Ummm'please excuse me now Mr. Singhania, Hiru. I am really tired and we also have to wake up early tomorrow to start work," Khushi lied. She was not tired; she just could not bear his gaze anymore. He was burning a hole in the back of her head.

"All right then Ms. Gupta, have a good night," Mr. Singhania said. And Khushi left.
