"Tring... Tring... Tring... Hello..." The person on the other line shouted in excitement after his phone call got answered, "Hey Lavs... I am coming home. Tomorrow night by this time I will be with you my dear wifey". NK squealed in the phone talking to his wife.

Lavanya who was still sleepy even after answering the call, came out of her somnolent state after hearing the news. And she took couple of minutes before she squeaked, "NK,... Please tell me it is true. I can't take the change of plans anymore".

NK chuckled and answered, "You should thank Arnie for that my dear. It might have changed again, if he didn't show up in today's conference. Your luck. I am coming back. Anyway Lavs, what Arnie is doing there that he couldn't find time to attend important meetings. He was never like this before when it comes to work. Do you have any idea".

"NK.. where else he will be. As I told you, Khushi became his only focus. He is not our old Arnie. What I am wondering is, When he is going to tell her about Rashi and how will she react if she comes to know what really happened. I am sure she doesn't know anything about Shyam and what happened on the day of accident. NK do you think she knows about you. If she knows how you will face her at work once you come back"... Lavanya took a long pause and then continued with a sigh.

"NK.. I am thinking of telling Khushi what really happened to her sister before it is too late. Khushi being that close with Arnav and you together is not good for us. And I want to keep an eye on both of them. For that I want to grab a position in AR. What do you think?". Lavanya finished her talking and held phone tightly waiting for his answer.

After thinking for some time, NK replied with a deep sigh, "I think she knows my name. And coming to talking to Khuhsi, Lavanya, it's not your business. And before you take those kind of decisions, just think once about Arnie. He will never forgive you this time, if you mess up with him again ".

When he didn't hear any answer from her, he sustained talking, "Lavanya, when I saw him last time, I saw a new glint in his eyes. I never saw a smile in his eyes before. And honestly I believe, Khushi is the reason for that change in him, afterall she is Rashi's sister. If she is the one for Arnie.. if he finds his happiness with her, Why should we spoil that. Let him find his own pace Lavanya. I think it's high time to stop our interference in his life".

Lavanya spoke by cutting off her husband, "But, what about Sheetal. We thought Sheetal is perfect choice for him. He will be happy with her. She is naive and understanding. I don't agree with you NK. I will talk to him. Because, If you are with him, you will get easily influenced by him. And you never infringe Arnav".

"Will you flout his decisions Lavanya?"... NK openly challenged for her contravene. After he heard an agreeing sigh for his retort, he spoke to cheer up his wife, "Ok leave it, we will talk about it later... So... tomorrow I will be in my wife arms after long time, be ready for me baby".

After a pause he continued, "And don't take any hasty decisions before I come", Saying that, he hung up the line after receiving a silent approval with a growl from other side of the line and bidding good night to her.

And Lavanya completely forgot about sleeping after talking to her husband and lied down thinking about the plans about how to talk to Khushi.

*******************************************************************************************

Next Morning, after Arnav woke up, he dialed Aman to talk about the agenda of the conference. After discussing for ten minutes, Aman informed him, "ASR, Pooja reported that she got enough of resumes and she already short listed from those which are suitable for the position and experience. I told her to schedule interviews with those applicants today when you were in conference. If I find anyone suits for the job, should I schedule the next interview with you".

Arnav immediately responded after hearing him, "Aman if you find any applicant meets the requirement, just hire. We don't have much time to go through all these formalities. But explain all the contract details before signing the employment letter. Because, we can't afford the unstable employees in the position we are right now".

Aman expressed his concerns about that idea soon, "ASR, I think we should ask Khushi to help the new assistant for at least a month. Because she was the one who arranged all the events of Singapore project and she knows very well what works best for AR".

Arnav didn't answer anything for that and asked him, "Ok Aman, is there anything else you want to talk". Understanding the underlying meaning of sudden change of topic, Aman said "That's all ASR", before he hung up the line.

*******************************************************************************************

After the call Arnav peeked at the french doors to look at Khushi once before he leaves to office, but the closed curtains on her french doors disappointed him. He picked up his keys and wallet and strode towards exit to go and knock her door, unable to leave without seeing her at least once.

While he stepped out and walking towards her room he felt a fresh air of jasmine fragrance mingled with coffee aroma greeting him. And he involuntarily ambled towards the source of the enchanting smell, totally forgetting about knocking her door. But the sight that greeted him after reaching the kitchen just blew him away.

Khushi is in the kitchen, so early, wearing a green saree with her hair held high like a tight neat bun giving a clear visibility of her nape and her back with her low neckline blouse. She was deeply engrossed in her work without noticing his presence who is watching her mesmerisingly preparing coffee.

After it is done upto her liking she poured the hot liquid in the cup. Then she arranged everything she prepared on the tray including coffee and turned around to go upstairs, to give him the hot breakfast before he leaves to office.

After taking few steps she halted in her steps realizing he is already downstairs and turned towards him and spoke, "Arnavji, am I late. Is it five already. I woke up at four to make breakfast before you leave. Still I am late. Hey Devimayya, wake up little more early next time".

Arnav cut off Khushi, who is blabbering about her tardiness, "Khushi, there is fifteen more minutes to five. I can eat the breakfast". And he stopped talking after seeing her brightly lighted visage when he said he has time.

He walked to her and motioned his fingers up to her face and sedately moved her loose tendrils to the back of her ears, which are fallen on her face carelessly blocking his view to see her serene visage and also blocking her view to look straight into his orbs. And then he cupped her both cheeks with his arms and looked at her countenance upto his contentment.

Khushi instantly held the tray tight for the gentle touch of his fingers on her skin. But soon composing herself, she walking past him and kept the tray on the breakfast table and immediately arranged everything on it.

And she came back to him and dragged him to the table and made him to sit to eat. Obliging her, Arnav sinked in the chair silently and opened the lid of his breakfast plate.

He looked at her and with a smile after looking the content of the plate and asked her, "Khushi sit and eat with me". Saying that he kept a piece of Puri in her mouth after dipping it in the aloo sabji and he put a piece in his mouth. And instinctively his eyelids closed for the deliciousness of the delicacy he is eating.

Realization hitting him as a surprise for what he did, he opened his eyes and looked at Khushi and spoke volumes about how he felt without uttering a word. This is the first time he fed any one with his own hands. And he gulped down the morsel thinking, "How many firsts you will give me Khushi".

Once again remembering what happened few minutes back, he silently ate the breakfast with his heavy heart and moistened eyes without speaking a word unable to voice out how he is feeling for her lovely gestures. With every piece he is eating, his stomach is filling with so many feelings. Finally he started feeling his place of residence as his home with her each and every gesticulation, since the moment she stepped in his house.

He was used to eat whatever HP made all these years. Taste, he never care for that. And although he tasted the food made by her before, today it tastes more delicious than ever. May be because it is just made for him. Or maybe because she made his favorite breakfast unknowingly.

*******************************************************************************************

Someone thinking about him and preparing food for him keeping his timings in mind is completely new to him. Frankly it took some time to understand what Khushi is doing at that time in the kitchen, when he saw her there few minutes back. He took a step forward to ask her whether she need anything and halted in his step after she turned around with coffee tray and his ravenous stomach instantly filled with lot of emotions by looking at her with food tray.

That sight reminded him of his mother and how she used to cook food early in the morning before he goes to school. Everyday his mother used to feed him and the last thing he ate by his moms hands was Puri with Aloo sabji, just before going out the day he lost his parents.

Next minute that day flashed in front of his eyes. But before he get too emotional remembering that tragic incident, she came to him and started her jabbering making him to divert his mind from that day to the present. And his lips curved up to a smile.

And he wondered how she manage to pull him out from his pensive of emotional thoughts. And his ears started listening to her babble and his lips replied for her concern saying he has time to savor the each moment he got to spend the time with her, cutting off her completely oblivious to his conscience. He was completely lost in the aroma spreading in the home for the first time.

And, Khushi, made him emotional by preparing same breakfast what his mom made for him for the last time.

*******************************************************************************************

After eating and sipping hot aromatic coffee together, he took her free hand in his and voiced, "Khushi, thank you... thank you for the delicious breakfast and wonderful morning you gave me after many many years. You don't know how much it means to me, Khushi. I couidn't explain how much you make me happy today, because I am afraid that my words won't do justice in voicing out the feelings of my heart".

Khushi sighed heavily for his words and covered their entwined hands with her other hand, saying, "Arnavji, I am doing this with love, not with responsibility or not with obligation. Please don't make me feel bad by thanking me for everything I am doing. I just need your happiness Arnavji, not your gratitude".

He smirked and moved their intertwined hands towards his lips and kissed on her hand softly and stood up to leave still holding her hands and stopped after hearing her saying, "Arnavji, come back soon,... I will be waiting for you".

His smirk changed to a wide grin for hearing that sentence from her again and he pulled her into a gentle embrace, squeezing her to express how much he is going to miss her.

While pulling back a little, he replied, "I will Khushi, take care of yourself until I return", saying that, he inched forward and pressed a smooth lingering and open mouthed kiss on her cheek. For that warm touch she instantly grabbed a fistful of her saree on her sides to control her desire to kiss him goodbye back.

Not liking to leave her, he bid goodbye to her with a smile and pivoted to go with a determination of completing his work as soon as possible and come back to the warm embrace of new heartwarming feelings, wondering how she changed him to feel ardent about coming back to home , within a day of her stay with him.

*******************************************************************************************

Few hours later, while Arnav was stuck in the conference, Aman was busy with preparing for the interviews. He was just waiting for the final list and the file of the resumes to go through, before he gets started.

"Knock... Knock... Come in Pooja", Aman instructed her after hearing the knock on his door. Pooja walked in with the file consisting of the details of the applicants to be interviewed today. Grabbing the file he instructed her to send the candidates after an hour one after the other. And he also requested Pooja to bring two copies of the AR job contract details.

Two hours later, after interviewing few clearly unfit candidates, Aman stood up with a surprise when the next candidate walked in and greeted the person who came unexpectedly seeking an unexpected thing. And another twenty minutes later, Arnav's new personal Assistant has been hired.
