ArHi Collab -The Mistake#3 -Ch13, pg28 *Completed* - Page 14

He looked at himself deep and hard into the mirror and gave himself a pep talk.

He always held a soft spot for La, but never opened up as he was scared that she wouldn't feel the same but not anymore. Ever since that day when her delicate tears ran down her beautiful face, and when he comforted her at ASR's House, he felt a deep connection with her, it felt like their hearts connected. He called her up the following morning, and asked her to meet him in a diner for breakfast, hoping to reveal his love for her and hoping for her to return his love.

Life was too short and he had to tell her.

''Come on, Pull yourself together boy.. You can do this ..''

Your hot with your hedgehog hair, contagious smile, with a lucky bonus that girls can't deny your irresistible, sexy dimples. YOU CAN DO THIS; You Sexy Penguin.

All You have to do is ask her the question, ''Will you be my Girlfriend;''... NK said with enthusiasm while splashing cold water on his face.

Cocky much ?! Not everyone looks at looks..& what if she rejects.

''She will accept me, and I will marry her and have the most beautiful children ever'' he sighed.

Oh, Shut up.. Idiot .. Your only asking for a date and here your thinking about children. Ugh. Scare her away why don't you. Focus at the plan you have set, bewakoof!!

''Shut up, I know what I'm doing and don't bark bewakoof at me. I'm Under control. I will go and get my dilwale or was it dulhania.'' he said with confusion.

''Hmm.. I'm sure it's dilwale, Lavanya my dilwale, Your Dulhania is come to take you away''. He smiled.

***

La sat in the booth waiting for NK to arrive. She constantly checked her mobile, getting irritated by the second.

He was late. Very Late.

''Typical, First HE calls me, asks me to meet him here, and then He's LATE and Doesn't have the decency to call me. I could kill him. NO, I WILL KILL HIM.'' She banged her phone on the table in frustration.

While seething in anger, she heard this weird donkey type laughing in the background. She suppressed her laughter and tried to ignore the weird laughing coming from the booth next to her, but what caught her attention was the following words she heard:

''That Professor Raizada and Khushi are out of here..Ahaha, I can't believe our plan worked, and we managed to tell the local news channel about this fake affair of theirs, and they Believed us.. hahah hee-haww-hahahaha-heehaw''.

''I hate them, they deserve this. Oh My ... Sim, Look at the television.. they are already talking about it.. It will spread like wildfire now'', she giggled.

Lavanya was hot like a Volcano. She was ready to attack the Donkey laughing Cow and her friend in a second . She turned around to look at the television just to see if it was actually true.

Unfortunately, what those lying girls were saying was true. The News banner constantly flashing as breaking news, luckily there was no pictures.

She got up and walked over to their table, ready to pounce. She was shocked to find that it was those geeky, quiet girls in class. She never thought they, Pim and Sim would ever have the guts to do all this mess.

''Oi, You not so Quiet Talkers, I just heard your whole conversation.. You guys are done for ..''

''Who in a million years would have thought that two geeks that think they are soo superior to everyone else.. How dare you tell the media such a terrible lie, do you know what can happen to you both with your stupid allegations!!!''

''DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO'S DAUGHTER YOU ARE MESSING WITH ..?!''

''IF HER FATHER FOUND OUT THAT YOU LEAKED THIS MAKE BELIEF STORY ABOUT HER.. HE WILL HUNT YOU GUYS DOWN LIKE A CHEETAH AND RIP YOU APART LIKE A STARVING JUNGLE MAN.

Sim and Pam Looked at each other and rolled their eyes, then casually looked at La and asked

''Ooo .. I'm soo scared, look I'm trembling with fear..'' Sim said with sarcasm.

''Who..? Who's her father then? Surprise us!'' quipped in Pam.

La bend down, and said in a low discreet voice and said;

''GUPTA, SHAHSH GUPTA.''

The look on their faces were priceless.

Pam took a deep breath and stuttered,

''Oh..My...God.. G-G-Gupta.. p-p-please tell me you don't m-mean woh.. I mean that huge successful business man ,in India who has multiply companies around the world and squishes people's lives if he doesn't get his own way.''

''Yes, That's the one.'' La said while giving the evilest smiles ever. ''Next time you should get your facts right before you try and strikeout people with your crap, NOW GET UP NOW RETRACT IT and Tell them you lied!!!''

Pim and Sim trembled with fear.. they never heard La speak like this to anyone before. All they could do was nod like two toddlers being told off by their mommy.

They got up and started to leave the diner when La ended up colliding into someone's chest. She deeply inhaled the sweet scent that came from this person and recognized who it was..

It was NK. She looked up with anger in her eyes and pushed him away with force.

''I don't have time to play games, NK...I'm soo angry at you right now but I know that Arnav and Khushi need your help, Can you take us to the local news station..? It's Urgent, I will explain on the way..!''

Without a word, NK nodded and took them down to the news station, La escorted them to make sure they retract every single word they told the reporter and apologize locally for their silly lie.

***

As they sat on the sofa, trying to absorb the shock that their secret life was being spilled out to the nation , Payal sat opposite and began to grill them..

''So, Mr and Mrs Smith, ..oops.. Sorry .. I mean to say Raizada.. Mr and Mrs Raizada, erm.. so.. tell me when did you both Rabba ve or in English terms have eye sex under the stars with the passionate music running in the background? or in dummy terms, when did you both meet ?''

ASR's Temper was slowly rising but not at Payal's weird question. He was so frustrated at the fact that after day of passion, someone has told the media, and the fact that HIS.. Yes...His Khushi's life was to be ruined, he didn't care about his job anymore, He truly cared about her. Just her.

Arnav saw that Khushi was tensed up and worried, so he delicately placed his hands on hers and rubbed it slowly up and down to try and calm her down. He got up and grabbed a ice cold bottle of water and sat next to her, holding her head up and pressing the top of the bottle to her rose delicate lips.

He watched gracefully, as she sipped on the water.

They Both turned to look at each other, deeply with soo much love and affection and mentally told one another that no matter what the future holds, no one will ever separate them and that they will get through this together.

One thing was for sure that they weren't worried about their respected careers or degrees anymore.

Even though they just started the relationship, they knew that this 'love' they shared had was for the long haul.

*cough* *Cough*

''Erm..Hello?! Excuse me'', Payal snapped her fingers in between the couple.

''I didn't come to see the lovey dovey couple;I'm here to solve your problem''.

''Jheeze! Seriously, do your weird, aanken humping later, for the sake of sanity'' pleaded payal, while she rolled her eyes.

''Just answer the Question, or you want me to put it into baby words.. !'' ..

Arnav sighed, ''Okay.. okay.. well, It started like this...

He was interrupted when his mobile began to buzz.

After answering the call and talking on the phone for more than 5 minuets, Arnav disconnected and started to laugh hysterically, which scared the wits out of Khushi and Payal.

Khushi placed her hand on his thigh and held his chin, turning his face towards her.. She looked into his eyes and asked;

''What happened?!''

''Who was on the phone, Arnav... You're scaring me.. Tell me now, please..''..

He grabbed her and wrapped his arms tightly onto Khushi's body.. melting all the tension away

and whispered,

''Don't worry, everything is fine.''

''The storm is over.''

***

Lavanya was on cloud nine for helping her best friend out; She felt like a superhero. She desperately wanted to tell Khushi the good news on 'rescuing' her, But her bubble burst when NK told her that while she was inside the studio, he rang Arnav and told him the whole story and he would tell Khushi as she and their lawyer was with him.

''Erm.. La.. I just want to apologize for keeping you waiting at the diner.. I didn't mean to .. I lost track of time as I was talking to the mirror and then I ..''

''ahaha .. What did you say ?! who were you talking to ..?'' Giggled La.

''My Mirror.. I'm not crazy.. I was just trying to prepare myself to ask you ..''

''Ask me, what?''

''Will you do me the honour of being my Girlfriend ?''

''I would love to be but ONLY if You Promise NEVER to be Late again .. !''

''It's a Deal and once again, I'm sorry about eariler''

''It's Okay because of you, I saved my Khushi.. Now let's go to Arnav's place..

I want to see my bestie.''

***

''Let me go, Arnav.. I won't spare them ..I will Kill them.. They need to be taught a lesson..'' Khushi said while trying to wiggle herself out of his grip.

''Na.. Leave it Khushi.. La and NK just came and told you that they apologized live on the news. Let it be. Let's be grateful to your friend for solving our problem and help us sneak around more discreetly this time without getting caught.''

''I' am.. I really am.. I'm soo lucky to have such an amazing friend.. I love her to pieces.. Unlike your friend.. ''

''What about my friend.. Payal was trying to help us, Khushi ..'' sighed Arnav.

''She really made me uncomfortable.. What was with the weird questions..Lolita.. Chee .. I'm not a child .. How on earth did she become a lawyer..?''

''It's called Humour, Khushi.. Humour.. You may want to look it up.. It's something you lack when 'Sober'..''

''Haw.. You Jerk .. I hate you .. Me .. ME have no sense of humor.. I'll show you .. '' She jumped onto his lap and grabbed hold of his collar and shook him but that had no effect as he started laughing..

''I'm angry and you're laughing.. stop laughing .. !''

''Oh.. Khushi.. I totally get turned on by your anger.. It's sexy .. you look soo irresistible. You know.. I Love you, right? .. !! You mean the world to me and I promise, I will love you forever.. !''

Khushi blushed.. ''That's soo sweet Arnav.. You are my prince who has made me believe again. I know that with you by my side, I can accomplish any obstacle that comes my way, including my father. He is Shashi Gupta by the way"

"So, what? I am Arnav Singh Raizada and we are highly respectable family here in Massachusetts. And your father will just have to deal with it all. But we will cross the bridge when we come to it. Right now you need to study and get your degree"

"But Arnav... What about your family? Will they like me?"

"Everyone will, especially Anjali Di and Aakash. They won't just like you. They will love you like I do"

"I love you too Arnav"
