ArHi FF:Behind The Curtain[1-9] Link of Th2-Pg143

" Why?!" Wondered the employee!

" Ermmm .. I haven't paid the fees, and .. I cannot pay it any time soon! , so that's why" She said.

" What you are saying dear ! .. the fees of this semester are already paid!"

" But I did not pay it ! .. there must be something wrong "

" No .. I'm sure, It's clearly shown in the system that you owe $0 ... all your fees had been paid yesterday"

Her eyes widened and and she said: " R .. Really ?"

The employee nodded with a smile, confirming that the fees had been really paid!

her face formed a smile, she was happy! Her family was facing a serious financial problems because of her bauji illness and the increasing medical expenses. The Halwa Dukan's revenue was not enough to cover her educational expenses.

But now, her problem has been solved, and she can pursue her study and her dreams!

-

After few moments of the happiness, she realized something, she furrowed her brows as she asked the employee: "But how it is paid ! I did not , and I'm sure that none of my family's members did , then who had paid it !"

the employee checked the PC then said: " ermm.. the person name is not there .. You can go to the financial department and ask them about the name of the one who had paid it"

***

She was walking in a one of the collage corridors, with a muddled mind!

She was wondering, why would a philanthropist person who paid an educational fees, who gave someone a scholarship- and did a big favor, was trying to hide his identity?!

The employee of the financial department who she just met and asked him about the person who paid the fees , told her that this man asked them not to reveal his identity to anyone. not even to her !

Though she couldn't understand why want his identity to be hided, She respect his decision!! However, she should thank him, at any cost, this person has helped her and did for her a big favor, He deserve at least to be thanked properly!

She stopped and decided to return back to where she was few minutes earlier. She returned back, and talked to the employee again, she insisted that he should get any clue, anything that will enable her to contact this person and thank him.

After Khushi's non-stop pleas and strong insistence, the employee said that he will call and tell the mysterious man about her demands , and will inform her about what will he said said, tomorrow.

Khushi agreed, and left the office, hoping that tomorrow, she will get what she want.

***

" Ok , give her this e-mail address: a-1984@mail.com "

He ended the call. He couldn't think of anything better than this very old e-mail, that he created, 10 years ago, the first e-mail he has ever created. The e-mail that he hadn't checked for about 6 years .!

He had -unintentionally- heard Payal -his bhabi- and her sister Khushi -the weird and annoying, yet interesting and beautiful girl- conversation when Khushi had came to the Raizada Mansion 3 days ago. He heard Payal trying to cheer her up and convince her that something good will happen and she will be able to pay the fees and pursue her study and achieve all her dreams. However, Khushi was telling her she is being realistic and they will not be able to pay the fees and she have to leave the coll?ge and give up her dreams.

It was the first time ever, since he met her, she was like that her pessimistic. Khushi that he know was very optimistic and positive person!

Her words and depression took over his thought, so her yesterday, he went to Khushi's college, paid the fees, and sponsored her education. He don't know why, but he don't want her to know that he, Arnav Singh Raizada, had paid her fees and helped her.

Maybe because he don''t want her to feel gratitude toward him, and as a result change her unique way of behaving with him, which he really enjoy. Or maybe he don't wan't her to change her view about him as the Rakshas, the heartless man.

Arnav smiled, remembering all the times she fought with him and called him Rakshas, emotionless, heartless.. etc.

***

She was staring at the paper which the e-mail address of that mysterious man was written on it.

"Scholarship.. He don't wan't me to know who he is, and I only know his e-mail address ... Ermm.." Khushi thought, sure that she saw -somehow- similar scenario somewhere !.

" My Daddy long legs!!" , she whispered, her eyes slowly started to widen, and her a wide smile formed in her face as she clasped her hands together with glee..

she repeated excitingly:" Yes.. My Daddy long legs"

She sat, trying her best not to jump in joy!. She stared at the small paper again , with a wide grin on her face. She realized that her situation was similar to Judy Abhott in the famous cartoon, My Daddy long legs. and this mysterious man was her own Jhon Smith. She couldn't help but to giggle at this coincidence!

She always wished to be on these cartoons/novels' characters place, and it seems that her dream came true, very late! .. But she still can enjoy and have a fun, cannot she !

***

He was checking his very old mail's inbox, for the 9th time since the morning. He was not expecting anything special from her. just a thanks latter, but still he was waiting for it eagerly, why ? well, he himself, don't know why!.

Finally, he received an e-mail. It was from her , no doubt, who else will send him a mail to this very old e-mail address that he almost forgot !

He opened the e-mail which was titled ( Thanks ), and he started to read it:

-----

I want to tell you every thing about me , very thing I face , and most importantly, I want to share with you my thought about someone, who occupies my mind since 3 months. There are many things about him I wished if I could share with others but I cannot! as they will think that I'm mad, and I'm sure that they will mock me. But thanks to Devi Mayia, she sent you to me, so that I can told you every thing I want without constrains :D .

He smiled, more of Khushi's fun is waiting for him!

No wonder why he is attracted to her and why he always thinking about her. She always do unexpected things. Things that no one can do except her. Did he ever imagined that a thanks latter would be lighthearted and interesting like this Thanks latter? No ! but she was Khushi Kumari Gupta after all! his smile widened to a grin.

He read the e-mail for the second time, and then wondered, what she meant by the Daddy long legs? and Also , who is the "someone who was occupying her mind since 3 months" ?!

Well, soon he will know, he have to wait for tomorrow..

the general concept of this FF based on this novel ( Scholar ship and letters to unknown man) . but all the events and the latter will be totally different and it will be my own creation. Mostly, nothing other than what you read in this chapter will be taken from from it . and If I toke anything more from it, I will note it :)

So that was the first chapter .. and now, I'm waiting for your opinions and impressions about it 😉

Chapter 2 : Pg 17
