CHAPTER 1:
Arnav: Am sorry. You know I'm not late purposefully.
He has been pleading and asking for forgiveness to his best friend ever since he arrived. He felt as if he was talking alone with no response from the other way.
He could feel the angry eyes of his friend on him even though he was avoiding any kind of eye contact.
Arnav: Khushi please say something yaar. You know how your silence kills me. It's the worst punishment I can ever get.
The scene which was unfolding was a really unusual one. Any other person looking at it would have been baffled.
The great Arnav Singh Raizada was pleading for forgiveness, and that too to a girl. He was normally the one to whom people plead and begged, being the ruthless and arrogant businessman that he is.
Arnav: Khushi really! I got stuck in meeting and neither Akash nor Nk were willing to take over. You know meeting you is my most important meeting!
Khushi: Please Arnav! I am also in the same field as yours. Don't cook up stories!
Arnav: At least you are now talking! I am sorry Khushi! What do you want me to do? You know I'll do anything you want! Please! Am really sorry!
Khushi: Okay fine. You're forgiven.
She said with a mischievous glint. Arnav was stuck in the moment as Khushi never let him go so easily without making him suffer any punishment. Something is definitely off with this girl today, Arnav thought. I have to be cautious!
Khushi Kumari Gupta was a qualified fashion designer and the best friend of ASR. Though he is the great ASR, for Khushi he is and will always be Arnav only. The one guy who cannot see her sad and who will anything and everything for her.
When Arnav actually thinks back to everything that he has done with Khushi, he cannot believe that Arnav and ASR are the same person at all.
Arnav: I know that look Khushi. What are you planning in that evil, devilish mind of yours?
These two were inseparable and they knew each other more than themselves.
Khushi: nothing at all, she said innocently. Let's have lunch shall we?
Their food arrived and they immediately attacked it without talking much.
Khushi: Arnav, you know there is a special reason why I have called you here today.
Arnav: what's the matter Khushi? Is everything ok? Are you ok?
Khushi: am fine Arnav. Its just that mom and dad want me to meet another guy yet again at the gala tonight. Am sick of it. So I was thinking that'.
Arnav: hold on a sec Khushi. Something is definitely going on in that mad head of yours. Out with it now!
Khushi was looking at the look on Arnav's face and with a mischievious smile, she decided to tell Arnav about her infaillible plan.
Khushi: Please Arnav pretend that we are dating tonight. Let's go to the gala together. Mom and dad will spare me the trouble of meeting that guy and also they will not harass me much after that. They will also be happy thinking that FINALLY we are going out together.
Arnav: Are you mad Khushi? They will kill us when they will know the truth. No way Khushi. Am not doing that.
Khushi: please Arnav. You can't even do this much for me???
Khushi said this with pleading eyes and pouted her mouth. She knew she had hit the target. Arnav could never refuse a pleading Khushi, and a smirk formed on her lips.
Arnav: fine you win. You know I can't have you pleading. But am putting up with this only for a few days. Not more.
That was enough to make Khushi jump in joy and she threw herself in Arnav's arms, forgetting where she was and all those enquiring eyes who were on her and Arnav.
Arnav was quite shocked himself by Khushi's behavior but just went on with it and held her tight in his arms, happy to be able to bring a smile to Khushi's face.
Arnav: Khushi can you release me now??? Am getting chocked here!
Arnav mocked a cough and was instantly hit by Khushi's tiny hands.
Arnav: Ouch! What was that for???
Khushi: that was for pretending that my grip was tight when yours was'
Khushi's words stopped abruptly as soon as she caught sight of Arnav's smirk.
Khushi: arrrggghhh!!!! You and your jokes and smirks!!! God! I swear if you were not my best friend, that smirk of yours would have driven me crazy in love with you.
Arnav: who knows maybe you are in love with me. Maybe that's why you are refusing to see more guys for marriage.
This earned Arnav another smack on his chest.
Khushi: stop it now! Am going and don't forget to pick me up tonight for the gala. Also, wear something good as you are going with me. And remember we are going as a couple and not as friends.
Arnav: stop Khushi! Take a breath! Don't worry' everything will go as you wish and you are talking as if am going out with a girl for the first time. And yes my fashion sense is much better than yours!
With that Khushi quickly kissed Arnav on the cheeks and waved him bye.
Arnav: love you too baby! He said with a chuckle, just to get on the nerves of Khushi.
Khushi: whatever! Came the nonchalant reply of Khushi before she walked out of the place, a smile all of over her face, happy that finally she will be free from the potential husbands for a while.
NOTE: I have already posted the chapter 1. If you want I will post the character sketch but it is not really necessary as all the other characters are more or less the same as the show. I have not decided what to do with Shyam. When I know, I'll you guys know if he is positive or negative! Good reading! :)
