Rusted Relations thread 1 - Page 64

Arnav: Mr. Chopra the deal is final then?

Mr. Chopra: without a doubt ASR.

Arnav: so we end the meeting here.

Arnav bagged his toughest deal which he couldn't do till a fortnight ago.

Arnav's POV

What was her name? Khushi. Really happiness. She is my lucky charm. After meeting her Di's life has got a new ray of hope.

I must meet her. Akash was right. May be I am in love finally.

So destination- Rose boutique.

Arnav: Aman when is my next meeting and with whom?

Aman was dumbfounded. He never saw ASR in a good mood and smiling.

Arnav: Aman?

Aman: yeah ASR. Two hours later and with SG group.

Arnav: ok.

Arnav went out. The boutique was a 30 minute distance from his office. He had ample time.

****

Arohi came back home crying..

Arohi's father Mr. Sharma was tensed. His daughter had not cried for a long time and that too was when Rahul went away from Delhi after his broken engagement.

Mr. Sharma: what happened? Why are you crying my child? Why are you crying??

Arohi: papa..maa..

Mr. Sharma was very sad..someone must have talked or hurt her regarding her mother.

Arohi: papa I am sorry..

Mr. Sharma tried to give the best upbringing as a father can possibly do. Arohi's mother died in childbirth. Arohi has never known what is meant by the word mother. To her her father and brother was everything.

Arohi..why are you crying?

Arohi: bhaiyya..

Rahul: you wished me by crying..

Arohi: when did you come back? Will you be staying with us? You will never stay away from home like this anymore.

Rahul: I will listen to all your words if you stop crying.

Arohi: I hope your Singapore trip was nice.

Rahul: yeah..papa I think now no girl will oppose me for marrying a middle class boy who cannot give any luxury and comfort..

Arohi: bhaiyya..don't say like that..she was a..

Rahul: no..Arohi I am not saying because of her, she was an eye-opener for me. Very few women are there whose priority is love.

Arohi was consoled by her father and brother but she didn't disclose about Arjun in fear of her brother..

She went to the kitchen and started cooking. She had a day off.

****

Arjun felt very bad for hurting some one in such a delicate issue. If she had spelt a word about his dad..he don't know what he would do..and he hurt her about her late mother.

He decided to meet her.

****

Arnav heard that Ms. Gupta had gone for some meeting of her father. He came to know her meeting his one hour later with some fashion group.

Arnav thought there are three fashion groups in Delhi..one is mine, other SG group and a new one..some Dayal.

****

Arnav returned and heard that SG group had arrived and he pre-poned the meeting as he wished to meet Khushi.

****

Aman was like a blown out fuse now..he had been receiving shock after shock and this was the greatest. Arnav had preponed a meeting?? Pre-pone?

Aman: ASR pre-pone?

Arnav: yeah.

Arnav Singh Raizada if needed postponed the meeting but never..ever..this was the first time.

****

Arnav's wish was fulfilled soon.

He met Khushi..he didn't have to take the pain of visiting Rose Boutique again.

She was..she was in the meeting.

So she was Khushi Gupta, daughter of Shashi Gupta.

Ms. Gupta was ill-famed in Delhi for her extreme arrogance and she had a nasty habit of poking her opponents with their weakness, be it personal or professional.

Khushi: So Mr. Raizada..looks like your designs were too good to use my influence..

ASR: you are agreeing it..so.

Khushi: I haven't completed my sentence..I don't like anyone intervening when I am talking..be it my pet dog, servant, employee or even my father.

ASR: ok..the rule is same for you also

Khushi: once I end my saying..very few of them has left something to say..cause I say their words as well..

Well Mr. Raizada..since the meeting is quite a personal gain or someone's loss.. well it is more than professional one..so I am talking to you quite freely in this matter..or better context..enough introduction and all..you must have read my files before meeting me..after all you like to poke your nose to know someone's personal life and pinching and pointing and using it for your personal gain..no women can achieve that..really..well I used my contacts..the reason very simple..if you can use something for three years let me check it's potential who ought to stay in your firm for three years..ok..my condition..I want Lavanya Kashyap..though you must be calling or knowing her by different aspects..after all you are too interested to keep good..yeah..good..relations with them...

So any questions?? Here is the contract papers..

ASR: Sheena was a better offer I thought..

Khushi: too possessive about a certain employee or is there something more I must say..Sheena will also serve the same purpose to you..moreover she will be more eager and enthusiastic to have a competitor less in all grounds..proffesional..as well..as..well if you think you can't do with one model..I would sent a new model..but experienced enough in such matters you want..like Lavanya I suppose..I don't think you want to lose this deal..

Arnav realised it soon..that the rumours were not that false..she poked him twice about Lavanya..and changed the topic in moments only to boil his blood.

Arnav's POV

At the end of the meeting..he came to the conclusion that his designs were chosen for Style of Shimla..but Ms. Khushi Gupta had intervened for two reasons..she disliked me(most probably because of that Lavanya case) and she was ready to lose the deal for making Lavanya SG's model. But Sheena was a better model. If she had tried for Sheena..I would have understood..but Lavanya??..was that b**** playing some other game again?? Was Khushi related to them. Should I talk to Khushi about it??

Yes, no matter what her attitude was..the girl was definitely different..no other girl has got that guts to tell anything on Arnav Singh Raizada's face..and here she was..saying him about how to behave and insulting about his personal life..too bold for a girl..she must need the same treatment like Lavanya..she will suffer and then she will realise what Arnav Singh Raizada is.

But Khushi is quite nave..let me try something..if she fails in it..then it is sure Lavanya is in this stuff. But why Khushi?? She could have got some other girl or man??

He remembered suddenly.

## Flashback##

Next day after his meeting when Lavanya came to him like other days in the thought of facing the same torture. Arnav ignored her. He was busy signing a deal with Sheena for continuing her contract for one more year.

He smiled suddenly after Sheena had left..and was murmuring.

Arnav: Hmm...Khushi..really..jolly..sweet...Rose..Rose boutique..

Seeing Lavanya he came back from his sweet reverie and sternly asked her to leave and do her work and not come to his cabin without any work only regarding profession.

Lavanya was stunned. She smirked and behaved as if she had won a jackpot prize and left immediately.

Arnav: oh..crap..damn it man..I had not let her live peacefully so at the slightest inkling about my liking towards Khushi she did so..dammit'.

I need to talk to her..but how and when??

Arnav was fighting with his age-old-ego and new-found-love

Love was on the winning side currently..

****

Meanwhile,

Some more things were happening in others' life too..

Payal and Akash's engagement day was a week left..the families were in full swing and celebrations and everything was at peak..both the families were meeting frequently for shopping and other stuff..Arnav and Arjun were as usual staying aloof from each other.

But it was a Sunday and both the families were out for shopping and Arjun and Arnav were chauffeurs for Maheswaris and Raizadas respectively. The two Malik widows being old stayed at home..

At the shop Arjun was thinking about his plan to meet Arohi..but how amidst this ??

He saw Arnav coming towards him. Arnav Singh Raizada in front of Arjun Malik??

Is there something serious??

Yes it was indeed...he kept his thoughts of Arohi aside.

Arnav: Can you do a favour??

Arjun: you and favour? That too from me??

Arnav: don't speak like Khushi.

Arjun: who's she?

Arnav: none of your business..leave it.

Arjun: see..everytime we talk we end up in fighting..don't you think we should re-unite?

Arnav: no way..if it had been so..I was not supposed to stay with Raizadas..well the favour is can you give the details of Khushi Gupta?? I found that SG group has some joint contracts with your firm..so..

Arjun: a question..the work is professional..or..

Arnav: both. And yes confidential.

Arjun: ok..you will get the file by 15 days.

Arnav: I need in a week..else Di will be in trouble..

Arjun: Anjali Di??

Arnav: hmm.

Arjun: then it is not a favour, it is our responsibility..what happened?? Lavanya??

Arnav: yeah..I think she is in it..

Arjun: I am going to do it immediately.

Arnav was leaving.

..bhai..

Arnav: don't call me by that name Arjun.

Arjun: didn't want to..just a slip of tongue..we are concerned and related with our families but not with us two.

Arnav didn't answer..he simply left.

Both the brothers had a deep love hidden inside..so deep..that they were not aware themselves.. they were together for their families, their loved ones..keeping their hate, ego aside..but as soon as the topic ended they were again at loggerheads.

****

Arjun was busy with the work and at the confidential work Arnav has given him..not only he did..Arnav too helped him when Mohit was in rehab for drugs and alcohol last year. Mohit was fine now and half or more the credit was Arnav's in true sense. He had completely forgotten about meeting Arohi now..but he didn't forget her.

****

Arnav was damn busy with his work and Akash was in no mood to do work..so he had to consider his bro and was doing his work too..

****

Arohi was chatting with Aradhana

..beep..

SMS from Aradhana

Did as u askd. I thnk di intrstd! Hp thngs wrk out nw. Wt abt ur bro?

( I did as you had asked to do. She is jealous. I think Anjali Di is interested. Hope that this time things will work out. What about your brother? Is he still having feelings for Di?)

Arohi replied

Hmm..i shud c d matr nw. r u sure?

(hmm..good. I should check out about my brother now. But are you sure ? cause last time we were wrong.)

Aradhana replied back

Dmn sure. 100%

(this time I am cent percent sure. Not a single doubt.)

Arohi replied

k..dn..msn..wdng.

(ok..then our new mission is Anjali di and Rahul bhaiyya's wedding)

****

Payal's and Akash's engagement has finally come..families..friends..relatives..business partners..and many more people and of course the media was present..

It was a huge ceremony..

Arjun was there with his mother and aunt, the Malik family.

Some friends and important clients of Arjun were called on this special occasion. After all it was his sister's engagement. (though Payal was not his own sister yet he treated her like his own little sister. Actually the bonding between all the siblings were very good..and now after this relation of Akash and Payal it will be even more stronger. Though Arnav and Arjun stayed poles apart from each other.)

Arjun's dress

Arnav had also some business partners invited in this ceremony.

The most problematic was Aradhana. She gave a list of 176 friends and acquaintances.

Aradhana's dress

Certainly it was cancelled out by Arnav. Arnav did not respond to her tantrums and finally agreed to her final list of 64 friends. But she made him promise that she will call the rest in wedding. In that list Arohi Sharma and her brother Rahul Sharma was obviously included.

Arnav's dress

Anjali had called few of her school and college friends and Rahul Sharma and his sister Arohi Sharma was there too..so he was quite an important person as well as his sister.

Anjali's dress

Rahul's dress

Mohit also didn't stayed back to call some of his close friends and also his special friend. He was interested on the girl, but the girl was not responsive and unfortunately for him she didn't come as she gave the excuse that she was not staying in Delhi that day.

Arohi's dress

Arjun: You?? Here??

Arohi: Got a shock or what??

Arjun: Yes..I mean no..I mean

Arohi: Whatever you mean it is upto you..please excuse me..Mr. Malik.

Arjun: Arohi..I need to talk to you.

Arohi: But I don't want to listen you

Arjun's POV

This girl !! uff..I want to say her sorry and she herself is not giving me a chance..what is there?? Leave it..I won't say her now.

Arohi's POV

What does he think of himself?? Directly he comes to me and talks as if nothing has happened. I won't talk to him unless he himself says sorry. I am not like other girls..hmm.

Sometime later..

Arohi: Hey Anu who is he?? Why is he here??

Aradhana: Why?? you are interested!!!

Arohi: Nooo..not at all..are you mad??

Aradhana: He is quite handsome..he is one of my cousins and as good as bhaiyya and moreover he is still single and has never been in a relationship.

Arohi: Anu we are in the mission of my brother's and my sister's marriage..not your brother and my marriage.

Aradhana: When did I ask you to marry??

Arohi: You were saying that only.

Aradhana: No..you were disapproving my brother.

Arohi: No I was just judgmental.

Aradhana: Hmm.

Arohi: Anu c'mon why would we two fight for him? Who is he to me?

Aradhana: Hmm..will see that later.

Aradhana's POV

hee..hee..your new boyfriend may be..I was thinking you for Arnav bhaiyya..but no..you are more suitable for Arjun bhaiyya..I suppose. But how did you know him? And why is Arjun bhaiyya looking you in glances?

(Baat kya hai??) What's the matter up there??

(Kya paak raha hai??) Something is surely cooking.

All went well..

and nothing special happened except the very happening couple going to be married..soon. The pundit find out their wedding dates'and it was six months later from now.

Payal and Akash were not very sad as well as not very happy. It give them some more time for themselves. But yet six months of living separately was too much for the lovebirds.

Meanwhile Aradhana and Arohi noticed and kept an eye on their respective siblings.

Rahul and Anjali behaved like friends ..but deep beneath..there was something more which had a layer enough to hide their true feelings and emotions..

Their relation needed a reaction to remove the rust and get cleansed..but how???

Stay tuned for more...

Precap: Khushi and Arnav meet by accident in an incident.
