The Most Unpredictable Couple Chapter 6

"Then why did you do all this for me?"

This question left Arnav completely spell bound. What was he meant to say? He himself was confused on why he did all this.

"Umm, Khushi, I think you should go now. I'll go get Di so she can come over here."

"Uhh, ASR, I thought you were going to take me to the guest room."

"Ohh, yeeh."

This was defiantly on the list of Arnav's MOST EMBARRASING moments. Here, his employee was sleeping in HIS house, in HIS sister's room, and he was not able to answer her simple question.

The 1-minute walk to the guest room was in full silence. Not a single word was said between them both, after all they had already said so much, maybe not through each other's words- but defiantly through their actions.

Arnav wanted to ask so much more to her, he wanted to say so much to her. But, she didn't have the strength. Where as, Khushi Kumari Gupta, for once had NOTHING to say. If this was not a miracle, then what was?

Finally reaching the guest room, Arnav was about to bid adui, when he had a sudden urge to ask

" Khushi, everything will be alright. Nothing's going to happen now."

"I know, I'm going to make everything alright" Khushi replied, with a new determination inside of her. BUT ARGHH! Why was Arnav being so nice to her, she was not used to this. He is ASR, the most harsh, mean and cruel boss in the entire universe, and now- he was being the only support she had. He didn't even reply to her question on what had actually happened.

Arnav was about to say good night when Khushi said, "ASR, don't you wish Good Night in this house."

"Ohh, well. Good night"

Then without a word he hurried of, knowing that he still would not be able to sleep.

'..

Slowly opening the door Khushi was given a fright when she saw La

"ARGHH!!"

"Shut up Chamkilli, what's up with you and ASR?"

"LAVANYA, you gave me the biggest fright of my life! Do you realise that!"

"No, now tell me what's up with you and ASR!"

"What?"

"Just because the door's closed does not mean I can't hear anything!" La replied, clearly very frustrated

"Who, wait- so you were SYPING on me!"

"Yes, now reply to my question"

"Hawww" It was quite obvious Khushi was trying to avoid this question. She could not tell Lavanya that he was her boss, because no boss goes inside a burning house to save his employee's treasures. He was not a friend, because no 'friend' would scream at her like he did. "So what was he to her", Khushi wondered.

"I don't know" Khushi replied, very truthfully

"WHAT?!"

"Uff ho La, can we sleep now or not?"

"Fine, I give up! But Chamkilli, he's really hot!"

"KYA!!! La, he's my boss!"

"Yeeh, a boss that went carried you in his arms and brought you to his home to take care of you. And then refused to go to sleep when you were sick, EVEN though I tried insisting. A boss that cried when you were not coming into consciousness. Yeep, he's just your boss- you got it girl!"

"He'he'ASR did that?" Why would he, Khushi thought!

"I thought we were going to sleep"

"Yeeh, let's go"

'..

Arnav had not been able to sleep all night. All he could think about was Khushi. Her innocence, her sweetness, her'.everything. He loved everything about her.

WAIT! What the hell was he saying, no, no he didn't care about her. No!

"Arnav, she's the girl in your house, and you brought her here. You should not talking!" But, there was also something else that was circling his , what La had told him. He was quite sure that what she was saying was true- but it all just didn't match up!

Ignoring all his thoughts, he suddenly got up- it was only 6.00am but he knew that he would not be able to sleep ANY longer.

Drowsily he walked to his bathroom and decided to take a shower for what felt like ages, trying to ignore the thoughts of Khushi and what he felt about her, obviously he failed miserably.

'..

Khushi on the other hand, was in a MUCH similar position to Arnav. She had not been able to sleep at all. Most of her night contained unstoppable crying and deep thoughts. She had only two people in her mind- But instead of taking a shower, she talked to her Devi Maya, which Arnav had saved for her. How did he know EXACTLY what she wanted back.

Her house had been COMPLETELY destroyed, her father no more remained and nothing remained, except for the few memories she had around her. Sadly smiling she looked at the portrait of her father, and put it beside a table she had.

Khushi badly needed to have a bath, she was wearing the same clothes form yesterday and had no clothes. Even La's clothes were burned in the fire (remember La lived with Khushi!)

"La, La wake up!"

Drowsily La woke up and as usual, started to complain,

"What yaar Chamkilli- why are you in such a hurry. Ohh, desperately wanting to see ASR? What's he going to do for you today, maybe save you from falling or even.."

"La, shut up!"

"What. Ok, sorry, don't kill me" La replied, looking at a horrified Khushi.

"La, we have nothing"

"NO REALLY!" La sarcastically replied.

Khushi knew that Lavanya NEEDED her beauty sleep, and without it, she was exactly what was being shown.

"I'm going downstairs, want to come or not?"

"Fine, but have you seen yourself. You look horrible."

"Well, after what happened yesterday, I don't think anything I would be looking to good"

"Chamkilli, everything's going to be fine. We are together, right? Then what cans stop us!"

"Ok, let's go"

With that said, they headed downstairs.

'..

Raizada House Living Room

"Hello Hi Bye Bye, WHO YOU?" a middle aged woman said, who had visibly gone over board with her make up.

"We, we, were" a highly confused La and Khushi stuttered

"WAITWA, you the bin bula mehmaan, wite? (you're the unwanted guests, right?)

"Excuse me?" a La, very annoyed asked!

"You Khushi, wite? Look at your clothes! All ripped and ruined, pati saree. My name should be Khushi, when people look at me they feel Khushi, your just a pati saree. And you're her friend, very prettywa- but not as beautpul like me! Come I'll do your makeupwa!" (If someone has any clue on how you can write Mami language in English them please do tell!)

Through all this Khushi and La just looked at the woman with their mouths opened!

"MANORMA! Bas!" Another elderly screamed

"Beti, come here" the women said

"Thank god" La thought, she was staring to think that she and Khushi had been dropped of in a mental asylum

"Ji" Khushi replied.

"I'm Arnav and Anjali's Nani. And this is his Mami. Anjali told us you were here, I think Chotte had gone to drop Anjali bitiya at the mandir."

"Ji.." Khushi replied, finally understanding what was happening

"Hello Hi Bye Bye- Waitwa, answer me first- when are you both saying bye bye to my housewa." Mami rudely asked. (house)

"Huh?" La said, where the heck was she.

"MANORMA! Khushi, Lavanya. Ignore Manorma. She is very rude sometimes"

"Ji" Khushi said, still not understanding the sudden hate Mami had for Khushi.

"Just wait, Chamkilli, can I just talk to you for one minute"

"Hello Hi Bye Bye, first day in my housewa and ALREADY pwivate (private) talks?"

Ignoring the cyco path, Lavanya dragged Khushi to one corner,

"Khushi, where the heck are we!"

"La, what sort of manners is this? We should behave, not talk like this!"

"ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS! Have you seen how bloody stupid they all are"

"Excuse me, Arnav and Anjali's Nani seems really nice"

"Yeep, now what do you have to say about his hello hi bye bye Mami, and Please. Nani is so boring, I will literally go to sleep if I go anywhere near her!"

"Come on, they are so nice to let us stay!"

Before La could reply they heard some background noises

"Uhh, Hi?"

Their Khushi and Lavanya saw a tall girl, with amazing eyes. And then next to her she saw a tall guy with nerdy glasses. What were they doing in that corner of the house?

"I'm Payal. Arnav's Bhabi."

"And I'm Arnav's older bro, but defiantly not as scary " Akash said in a humorous tone

"THANKGOD! Some people who look sane in this house!" Lavanya said, a little to loudly.

"LA!" Khushi screamed.

"Calm down Khushi. Anjali told me about you, I'm sorry to hear about whatever happened" Payal said, so sweetly that La thought she might get diabetes.

"It's. It's ok" Khushi replied, in a sad voice

"Well, about Maji, you'll get used to it"

"Yeeh, mum is a little over board" Akash added

"I tend to strongly agree to that" La sarcastically said, to which she received a death stare from Khushi

"Anyway, welcome to Raizada House!" Akash said,

"Thank you" Khushi said in a nervous tone

"By the way, do you want to change?" Payal asked

"Umm' we wouldn't mind" La replied, who was thankful that someone bothered to think about her clothing!

"Come, you can borrow some of my clothes, then we'll go shopping tonight, Akash- wallet" (Yes, very un-Payal but remember- my story!)

"WHAT! No, you used up my all my'."

"Akash, please honey'" Payal said, with the same sweet (overly-sweet according to La) tone.

"Here" Akash said, accepting defeat

'.

Back at Anjali's Second Home aka the Mandir

Saying Arnav was frustrated was an understatement, he was furious. Here he was being forced to go with his sister to her second home- the mandir. The priests over there probably knew every single damn thing about his sister, sometimes he wondered if she was hypnotised to be so obsessed with the mandir. (I am not insulting Mandir's, I am Hindu myself and also very religious! Just writing what I think Arnav would say!!!) All he wanted to do right now was to go home, and see if Khushi was all right or not.

"SHUT UP ARNAV" he said, mentally slapping himself. He had to stop thinking about Khushi; he knew that was going to be hard since she was living in his house.

Finally he saw his Di coming from the temple stairs, looking at him, and like always, smiling.

"Challo Chotte, I know you're in a rush to meet Khushi."

"What The'when did I ever say that?" Arnav replied, how the hell

" When have you ever need to say anything to me, I am your Di after all." Anjali said.

Accepting defeat Arnav and Anjali left for Shantivan.

"By the way Chotte, I said challo, but not home!"

"Why Di? Now which Mandir?"

"Chup, I thought we should get some clothes for La and Khushi. In the fire all their things were burnt, and they probably have nothing now. So'"

"Di, don't worry about that, I am the owner of a AR for a reason." And without another thought Arnav called his trustworthy employee, Aman. After Khushi, Aman was the employee to trust.

'.

While Arnav and Anjali were returning to Shantivan the Raizada paarivar were seated in the living room, talking to Khushi and La. Khushi and Payal had made everyone some food, after getting changed and the three girls were getting ready to go shopping.

"Hmm, I want more foodwa, give me pati saree!" Mami said, clearly very impressed by the food.

"Khushi bitya, Payal bitya, the food is very nice!

"Chamkilli, today the food is extra nice, anything special, or maybe anyone special. You never told me he's coming for lunch?" La asked, making Khushi very confused. La was defiantly up to something. What was she going on about?

"Hell Hi Bye Bye, boyfriendwa? Whose un-lucky boy? Mami asked curiously, to which Khushi blushed.

Even though she didn't know why, she didn't even have a boyfriend.

"Your nephew, ASR." La said in a casual tone

"WHAT?" said a continuous chorus.

Nani, Akash, Payal and Mami nearly all had a heart attack

"Just joking" La clarified, trying to control her laughter

"Hmph, pati saree" Mami said in a confused tone.

"Vaise, sometimes I even tend to wonder if Chotte and Khushiji." Said a background voice

"Di, just be quite!" said another background voice

When everyone turned around they saw Anjali and an infuriated Arnav.

"Just joking" Anjali said, unable to control her laughter.

"Di, aap?" Khushi said in a happy tone

"Yes Khushiji, me. And see Chotte. Khushiji is all fine now. No need to go into burning houses or picking her up" Anjali said in a teasing voice

"Good one" said La, coming over to give Anjali a hug

"Not as good as yours! Anjali replied.

"Di, are you done now" Arnav replied, whilst the rest of the family looked on very confused. It was quite obvious that Anjali had forgot to fill them in with the details of Arnav and Khushi's little romance.

"By the way. La, I actually wanted to gift you something, but since your so interested in.."

"Spill it ASR"

"Well, I thought since you and Khushi might need some clothes I got Aman to get you few things."

"Arnav, you really didn't have to do that." said Khushi, who had been hiding behind Payal all this time. Her and Payal had a very sisterly bond, making Khushi feel very safe behind her, away from the embarrassing taunts coming from Anjaliji and her so-called best friend La.

"Ok Ok enough of the fun. "Khushi ji and Lavanya ji. I have made a very important decision" Said Anjali, in a serious tone

"Huh?" Khushi replied

"It concerns you, I have decided that from now on, till the day you do not find a new house, you will be living in Shantivan, but not as our guests."

Khushi replied "Ji Anjaliji, this is very nice of you, I promise me and La will pay whatever rent you ask, I really app'"

"Excuse me Khushi, you will not be living as our tenants either!" Anjali interrupted, confusing everyone around her.

She continued, "From now on, Khushi and Lavanya, you are part of our parivaar."

"No Anjaliji, I can't" Khushi said

"Yeh, Anjali we cannot, we hardly know any of you very well" La said, supporting Khushi for the first time that day

"Don't forcewa them, they can go if they wantwa. Ok bye bye!" Mami said

"Manorma, be quite. I think Anjali bitya is right! Khushi and Lavanya, you both must stay, after all, I still haven't tried all the food Khushi can make!"

"No Naniji, we can't. I'll pay rent and everything." Khushi explained

Then Arnav interrupted "Ok Khushi. If that's what you wish, but I have once condition."

"ASR, stop with you business politics, spill it." La said

"Ek second, Chotte, when did I give you any choice, you be quite!" Anjali said

Ignoring the background voices Arnav continued, "My condition is that you will have to work in AR, as a Head Designer."

"WHAT!" Khushi screamed

"That's right, you can pay whatever rent you want, and Di won't say anything. You can live here for however long you want, but you must accept this offer. Aman always told me that the position of the Head Designer, so I looked at a few of your designs. So tell me, what you think?"

"ASR, I..I." Khushi was dumb-struck, here her boss was offering her the job that she has always wanted. As bad as yesterday was, today was going really well!

"Well duh, of-coarse she accepts it." La said, who found it hard to believe Khushi was not screaming YES!

"But, I am your sectary, and then suddenly'" Khushi said

"That does not mean you don't deserve it, look, we have a fashion show coming up. During this show I want you to do the designs, and then we can go further from there. And La, I want you to be Khushi's assistant. That is, if you want to join AR again?"

"YES YES YES!" La screamed, unlike Khushi she grabbed her opportunity.

"Chotte, I think your idea is perfect, she deserves it" Nani said

"Yep, I agree. Khushi deserves it" Akash said, to which he recived a nod from Payal as well.

And then the ever so long Anjali jumped in saying, "It's perfect. I think you deserve it Khushi."

Finally Khushi gave in, "Ok, I'll do it."

But, the only thing that was going through her head was, she was living in her boss's house, and from his sectary she was now the Head Designer. That meant she was going to be with Arnav, every day, every hour, every minute, every second.
