ARHI SS:It takes two to tango

Chapter 1 ' Let the games begin

Khushi Kumari Gupta was rarely ever angry. She just did not have it in her to portray that emotion. Every one she knew would agree upon that well known fact about her, they would further go on to say that she had the potential to act completely crazy and sometimes go on to being border line mad, which was why her buaji, much to khushis embarrassment would call her 'sanka devi', but anger was something they would never associate with her.

But all of them would willingly eat up their words if at this moment they saw khushi purposefully make her way through A.R corp with a murderous expression on her face giving people the impression that she was out for blood. Only if they knew how right they were.

"Khushi mam how are you?" , the receptionist greeted khushi with a wide smile as she saw her approaching .This would have been khushis queue to start an hour long conversation of anything and everything under the sun. But khushi was not one for pleasantries today.

"sheetal , is arnav in his cabin?"

If sheetal was surprised at khushis unusual behavior she did not let it show.

"yes , but..."

Khushi did not let her complete her sentence and made her way to the first floor. With her feet moving as fast as the wheels of her brain she was standing outside his cabin in no time.

She took a few minutes to gather all her defenses so she was fully armed to shred her opponent to pieces.

She was going to make Arnav Singh Raizada pay!'..what the hell did he think of himself?...she was going to watch as that arrogant smirk was wiped of this face and then she was going to laugh at his expense while he cried like a little girl. Okay so maybe he was not going to cry but still its extremely funny to imagine'.no khushi this is not the time to laugh at your jokes in your head'.remember you are angry at him'..

And with these thoughts in place Khushi Kumari Gupta went in for the kill.

Chapter 2- Am I clear ?

"What the hell arnav!"

It would be a blatant lie to say that Arnav singh raizada was not expecting this attack on his office. This was not surprising since he had knowingly gone and woken the sleeping beast.

Knowing Khushi for as long as he did, courtesy to their fathers, who were inseparable hence the Guptas and Raizadas had always been like one family and also having gone to the same school and then college he could safely say he knew Khushi Gupta pretty well which was why one look at Khushis direction as she barged in his office was all it took for Arnav to realize that he was done for it. The gods would not spare him today.

Her hazel eyes which were usually warm and welcoming were spitting fire at him with her cheeks flaming a scarlet red in sync with her button nose, a stark contrast to her blue dress which skimmed her knees leaving the rest of her legs bare

Arnav fought to keep his smile in check as he saw her tight grip on the straps of her sling bag, a telltale sign of her inner turmoil.

But he did not get a chance to ponder over his thoughts as he was brought out of his thoughts with Mr. Mehras consistent coughs. Arnav realized that this was a rather awkward moment for him and decided to relieve him of his plight.

"Mr. Mehra could you excuse us?" without wasting so much as a second the middle aged man collected his files and scurried out of the cabin, since he knew that a request by Arnav Singh Raizada was to be considered as an order itself.

Arnav turned his attention to the now turning red Khushi, before he could utter a word in his defense Khushi charged on him.

"What the f**king hell do you think of yourself Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada?" she said digging her index finger into his chest making him stagger backwards while she moved towards him following his steps.

It was funny how they managed to always indulge in this tango with both of them knowing the steps by heart.

"Is miss goody two shoes cursing? ,what has the world come to!" Arnav said while dramatically drawing a large gulp of air, enjoying riling her up further.

Khushi knew what Arnav was trying to doing, and she was determined to not be distracted by him this time. She would not rise to the bait. She would be direct with him since that was the only way Arnav would take her seriously this time.

"Arnav did you or did you not tell papa about that Amar incident at my office?"

And just like that all other emotions took a back seat while anger came to the fore front. The teasing smirk nowhere in sight instead a clenched jaw with lips in a thin straight line from the pressure of his teeth grinding together adorned Arnavs face.

Hearing Khushi take that name immediately made arnavs blood boil, had it not been for Khushi he had made up his mind of killing that b**tard with his own two hands.

When he came to pick Khushi from her office Diwali party and had met with a sight which would forever haunt him.

He had beaten Amar into a pulp who had been trying to force himself on Khushi. A red haze had surrounded him that day, he had turned into someone he did not recognize. Almost as if he was processed. It was only after Khushis multiple efforts that he had let go of an unconscious and soaked in blood Amar.

Later when he had told Khushi that she was never going to step into that office ever again, being as stubborn as Khushi was it was not surprising that she had out right refused him. Arnav had not spoken another word and had dropped her home.

Arnav Singh Raizada being an influential name in the business world knew exactly how to crack deals with the most challenging clients. When he has his mind set on something nothing can come in his way.

He had met with Shashi Gupta the next day, gave him enough details to ensure Khushi would not be going anywhere near that b**tard.

Arnavs prolonged silence seemed to have given khushi her answer and she started again this time her voice taking the quality of a child pleading to his parents for a toy he knew he would never get.

"But Arnav why don't you underst'."

Arnav did not let her complete her sentence, while initiating their waltz in the opposite direction with Arnav taking stiff slow steps towards her and khushi matching him with each step he spoke in a low stern voice reserved for using in board rooms to take down his opponents.

"I am saying this once and you better listen carefully. You are not going to that office ever again. Am . I . Clear?"

Although the last words were posed as a question there was no room for a negative reply.

Chapter 3

It was one of the most difficult things he had had to do. Trying to keep his anger intact while she stood there with her huge hazel, doe like eyes imploring him to give in, her deep brown tresses inviting him to run his fingers through them, her porcelain cheeks with a hint of pink, pleading with him to assess their smoothness, her mouth in the most adorable pout, with her lower lip slightly protruding out, taking all of his self-control to keep himself from pushing her against the nearest wall and teaching her a lesson for teasing him like that. And just like that Arnav Singh Raizada was lost cause.

It was hilarious really, the great Arnav Singh Raizada who proudly claimed to be amongst the most in control species of the human race, was day dreaming in broad daylight, in the most unromantic setting of his office about a women standing about an arms distance from him.

He had dated his share of beautiful women, being the CEO of India's leading fashion house put him in a very desirable position for women, his good looks and arrogant attitude which gave him a mysterious air made him downright irresistible.

But it was something about this child woman that awakened his basic instincts, his inner most cave man came to life, his need to protect, his possessiveness, his need to consume her all came to the forefront. Something any other women had not been able to evoke in him.

All these feelings were still new to him and were over whelming at times. It was exhausting for him to not know what he was supposed to do, how he was expected to act. He was tired of always putting a facade in front of her when all he really wanted to do was gather her in his arms and never let go. But he knew he would terrify her if he were to act upon any of the thoughts that plagued his days and nights.

But of one thing he was certain she was supposed to be close to him, where he could look at her to his hearts content, touch her, smell that fragrance that was distinctly khushi, lavender with a hint of coco.

Arnav smiled now, not the usual smirks he gave when he found something amusing, not the tender smiles when di admonished him for not taking his medicines on time, but a heartfelt toothy grin that reached his eyes making his deep brown irises twinkle. He remembered the exact moment when it had all began. It was an earth shattering moment of realization, he remembered himself being terrified at first, an emotion he was not well acquainted with which made it all the more disturbing.

It was a month ago when Khushi was supposed to leave for her friend's wedding in Shimla. He and Rohan had dropped her to the airport. And Rohan being the protective elder brother that he was kept reprimanding her about the dos and don'ts during the weeklong trip, while Khushi was clearly irritated at being treated like a child. Arnav throughout the ride had laughed at her expense which had added to her annoyance.

When they reached the airport she had hugged both of them and started towards the entrance, and then it had happened, the exact moment when his world had found a new gravity point or maybe he had only recognized it then, he did not know.

But when she had waved at them for the last time with a sad smile on her face before disappearing behind the glass doors, something inside him had just clicked, She was going way ,

Everything from then on had gone in slow motion. The wind had picked up speed, everyone had blurred out but he could see her more clearly than he had ever before as if a shield had been lifted, all noises had ceased to exist and all he could hear were her heartbeats exactly in phase with his

Dhak..dhak'dhak..dhak.

He could swear he felt his heart try to leap out of his chest as if trying to go the way she had just disappeared to. He stood there incapable of movement, his hands limp by his sides, panic gripping his insides making it hard to breath.

"jab vo tum say door jaye gi'tou tumhari sansain hi ruk jayen gi"

It was Rohans insistent taps on his shoulder that bought him back to earth. He looked at him for a moment before turning his gaze back in her direction, but she was gone.

It came to him then, like a flash of lightning,

Arnav Singh Raizada was in love.

He had wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. What the hell was happening to him?...had di's mindless talks finally gotten to him?...had he finally lost his mind?...

Is this what it felt like'..was it really that easy?...But why didn't it feel like how di and khushi had described it?...there was no music in the background'.no flowers falling from the heavens'..there was this vacuum where his heart used to be'.he felt oddly empty.

"Arnav are you okay?...you look pale" , Rohans voice bought him back and he nodded slowly in answer

And then he saw her making her way through the crowd, looking even more beautiful than he remembered in her yellow dress, Her hair in a high ponytail which made her neck seem even longer, Her eyes dancing in mischeif, her earings dangling as she threw her head back and laughed at something the girl beside her said.

Arnav shook his head then, a knowing smile on his face. She always was able to make friends in the most odd circumstances, a quality he sorely lacked.

Arnav watched as she turned towards the waiting area scanning the crowd, Her gaze finally landing on him. Her eyes widened slightly surprize clear in them,She smiled then, that unhindered warm smile of hers. And all was perfect again,

She was smiling,at him.
