PROLOGUE

"Arnav Singh Raizada!" The door to the cabin of CEO of AR designs flew open and a petite girl stood there huffing and puffing with anger glaring at the black leather chair which swiveled to reveal the man in question acknowlegding her with a smirk: "Khushi Kumari Gupta."

In response, the glare only intensified and she asked in a low voice while narrowing her eyes: "How dare you ruin my plan of surprising you?"

"What did I do?"

"Oh don't you go all innocent chocolate boy on me. One whole month I planned on taking you by surprise for the very first time and you have a nerve to go and spoil it"

"Seriously Khush only you have the audacity to make such fail plans."

"Hey. My plan was good. I didn't tell you that I was coming back and when I come at your office, your receptionist tells that you are expecting to see me. What the hell man!?"

"Shut up and come here." With that he pulled her into a gentle and friendly hug to show how much he missed her and teased: "God when will you ever give that tongue of yours a rest?"

"With you? Never! My purpose of existence is to annoy the hell out of you."

"Which you do very well." Earning a smack on his arm, Arnav muttered: "Ow! Jeez woman control."

"I thought I would never be saying this and ignore me because I tend to say stupid things during jet lag..."

"You always do..." but raised his hands seeing her scowl and asked her to continue.

"but I missed you Raiazada."

"Khush I hope this is not where you declare your undying love for me?" Arnav asked trying to control his laugh knowing very well that how riled up Khushi will get on hearing it and grinned in satisfaction on seeing the expected result when she grumbled: "Go to hell!"

He chucked softly, taking her in a side hug and reassuring her: "yeah yeah I missed you too. Stop whining now." And when she threw curses at him with a pout and frowned eyebrows, he couldn't hold himself and laughed out loudly after a very long time.

Indeed, Khushi was back.

CHARACTER SKETCH:

Arnav Singh Raizada (27): Studied at Harvard and completing his MBA, took reigns of his father's business which was on the verge of drowning and took it to new heights where no one could imagine. He is now a very successful business tycoon and practically rules the fashion industry all over the world. His parents died in a car crash so he lives with his nani, bother, akash and di, anjali and loves his family. He met Khushi at Harvard some 5 ears back and they became best of best friends. He truly cares for her and loves riling her up which he every time does. But at the same time, they share everything and only Khushi can have a glimpse of the real Arnav behind the mask of ASR he puts for everyone. He is the heartthrob of almost all the girls with his killer looks. He has got it all - be it being filthy rich, extremely famous and his attitude just adds to the list that makes him a guy every girl dies to have. Had many relationships but none of them were serious as he doesn't believe in the concept of love and marriage.

Khushi Kumari Gupta (24): Bubbly, chirpy and mast. Adventurous and always wants some kind of fun in life. Studied at Harvard and after completing her business management and interior designing course she's back in India to settle over here. She met Arnav at Harvard as her senior. She shares a beautiful bond with Arnav in which they love fighting and annoying each other to the core but with that they also share everything with each other. She brings out the young Arnav out of him and makes him do all kinds of crazy things with her. She has never been in a relationship but believes in love and is a die hard fan of romance though marriage is her last priority due to some reasons. She is a shopaholic and a total foodie and believes that life should be enjoyed to the fullest no matter what. She is beauty with brains who can make anyone fall for her and other girls jealous of her presence.

Devyani Malik (68): The cool nani everyone wants. After the death of her only daughter and son in law, she took the responsibility of her three grand kids and gave them anything they desired. She belongs to Lucknow and has the nawabi background. She is proud of Arnav because of his achievements and wants him to find a girl for himself who can give him all the happiness in his life. She secretly loves Arnav a little more and worries for Anjali's marriage. She is also a romantic at heart and want to see all of her grandchildren to enjoy the feeling of love.

Akash Singh Raizada (25): A really calm and mature guy. He is an intern at Sanjeevni hospital and loves his profession. One person he looks up to is his bhai because he has been a father figure to him after their parent's death. Respects nani for she has been the only one to take them in when they were orphaned. He doesn't like his di for some reason. Has a crush on his colleague, Payal.

Anjali Singh Raizada (29): A quiet and reserved woman. She has a limp due to which she has an inferiority complex and is rejected by many prospective grooms. There's more to her than she shows.

Shashi Gupta (52): A retired banker. He has mostly been away from his family working outside the country to earn more. When Khushi was twelve, he came back to India after 8 years and remarried his cousin on his mother's insistence. Though after an year, he left her for good but still neither Garima nor Khushi could forget this till now. He is a bit moody and wants Khushi to be settled professionally in life.

Garima Gupta (48): She is a home maker and had suffered in her marriage which became the reason for Khushi's reluctance to the same. She loves Khushi to the core and wants her to be an independent and strong woman so she doesn't have to face same situation as her. She has come to terms with her past and lives only for the sake of her daughter.

Payal Mehra (24): A really sweet and shy girl. Also an intern at Sanjeevani hospital. Harbours feelings for Akash but is scared that he might not reciprocate them.

Chapter 1:

Arnav ordered coffee and ordered his PA not to disturb them no matter what. Turning towards her, with a contended smile looking at his best friend whom he hadn't seen in last six months, he couldn't help but ask: "So how have you been?" In reply, she narrowed her eyes and scanned his form from up to bottom and exclaimed in mock horror: "Whoa! No sarcastic comments, no pathetic jokes about me? Where is Arnav Singh Raizada and what have you done to him?"

"I was just trying to be nice but forgot whom I am dealing with."

"Tch Tch is age getting to you Raizada or is that your PA's sexiness doesn't let you get past anything?" She tutted her tongue and raised her eyebrow which she had learned from Arnav.

"Gupta I always knew that you had something for girls but checking out my secretary is way out of line."

"With the amount of clothes she wears, a nun could change her status tou hum kya cheez hain?"

"Do you know you indirectly admitted on having lesbian vibes?"

"Do you know you sound like my sixty year old fat bua who shares the same concerns as you on my love life?"

"Uh-huh correction. Your non existant love life."

"So? Do you want me to drown in self pity while you hook up with every girl you lay your eyes on?"

"What can I say? People find me irresistible and you my girl are jealous."

"Dream on Raizada! Anyways, I have been good. Masters was over and the moment I got the degree, I booked a flight back to india. Homesickness was getting to me and there's a level I can tolerate angrezi mundas. I needed some desi tadka in my life, you see?" Khushi winked at him and he couldn't help but shake his head and muttered a pagal in his mind.

"So you plan on settling here then?"

"Yeah. Mom and dad are here plus India India hai. And I've few interviews lined up with good companies."

"Cool. Or you could just work with me?"

"Raizada we are over this many times. I don't want to jeopardize what we have by working with you."

He sighed mentally cursing her stubbornness. It was not like Arnav did favours to everyone he knew but Khushi was special and she was also new to this practical life. He didn't want her to face any problem thus he offered a job to her in his office. But Khushi being khushi outrightly refused because she didn't want to mix their personal and professional lives. And after almost months and months of convincing, Arnav had to put his foot down.

"Yeah and I can't have you boss me around all the time. Imagine the blow it will give to my ego." She looked at the time and gasped getting up and picking up her bag spoke: "I have to go. I still have half of the India's population as in my relatives waiting for me at home. So byee and I'll meet you at lunch tomorrow." And with a quick hug she was about to dash towards the door, when she felt Arnav come behind her to open the door. Smiling at his chivalrous ways, she turned to him and was about to ask him not to come downstairs when he glared at her effectively shutting her up. She huffed and walked along Arnav feeling odd at having almost all the employees staring at them.

After dropping Khushi, he was walking towards his cabin smiling, when he felt everyone watching him with their mouths hanging open. Quickly putting on the angry look, he entered is cabin leaving some of the employees faint with his changed attitude.
