"Jiji, you, please go with them. I will be back in 10 minutes."
"Par Khushi .."
"Jiji please .. "
Payal curiously eyed the sinfully good-looking man and whispered to her sister.
"Kaun hain yeh?"
"Meri boss hain, Jiji. Arnav Singh Raizada."
Payal gasped. Bald-headed middle aged arrogant jerk. Wasn't that what she had thought he was?
"Khushi," she whispered, not hiding her surprise, "I thought he was some sadoo Buddha .."
"Oh Jiji! When did I tell you something like that?"
"When? Kaisi kaisi baatein karti thi tum … Chhodo. We will talk about it later."
Payal glanced at him once and started walking toward the door along with the other girls.
"Khushi, come fast. Everyone will be waiting for you."
As everyone left, Arnav and Khushi stood silent for some time, each fidgeting and expecting the other to break the silence.
Khushi watched him opening his mouth quite a few times but every time he backed off. Ye Laad Governor kabhi nahi sudhrenge. She shrugged.
"You wanted to talk?"
Arnav swallowed. No more running away.
"Yes."
