Part 9
Khushi's phone rang.It was Lavanya "Lavanya" Khushi thought out loud "But she is supposed to be in London" She answered the phone nonetheless "Hello"
"KHUSHI!!!" Lavanya screamed so loud Khushi had to put the phone away from her ear for a while.
"Hey Lavanya"
"Khushi guess what! I am in India in Delhi for a wedding! We have got to meet up! Are you available today?"
"Yeah! Where do you want to meet? I have so much to tell you"
"Meet me at the shopping mall in a couple of minutes"
"Alright"
Khushi cut the call.She heard the main door open and close.She knew her parents were home.Khushi put the rose basket on her nightstand.She went to the living room to meet her parents.
Garima saw her first.She smiled at her "How are you Khushi?"
"I am good"
Shashi smiled at her "How did your interview go?"
Khushi's smile slightly faltered "Um good"
"Did you get the job?"
Khushi nodded "Yes"
Shashi and Garima looked at each other.Shashi looked at Khushi "Is your boss Arnav Singh Raizada?"
Khushi nodded,slightly confused "Yeah"
Garima walked close to Khushi "Khushi,your boss Arnav Singh Raizada is Samar's brother-in-law"
Khushi already knew that but she pretended to be shocked.She didn't want her parents to know she has already met him "Really?" she said.
Shashi nodded.Garima held Khushi's hand "Khushi dear,promise me to make a good impression of yourself to Arnav"
Khushi widened her eyes "What? What should I?" she said pressing on the I.
"When we will introduce ourselves to Arnav,we want him to think we are good people and not otherwise" Shashi explained to Khushi.
Khushi bit her lip.She couldn't promise her parents.She already promised to Arnav that he would regret "Promise Khushi?" Garima said.
"Um..."
"Khushi"
"Fine" she grumbled.
"Say it Khushi otherwise I know you don't mean it"
Khushi gritted her teeth and muttered "I promise to make a good impression on Arnav"
"Good" Garima smiled "By the way Anjali called"
Khushi lit up "Really? What did she say?"
Shashi chuckled "She said she is coming home tonight with your brother"
"Yay!" cheered Khushi "Oh my god I should go get a present for her.I will go shopping with my friend Lavanya"
Shashi and Garima laughed as they watched Khushi rush in her room and went out the door like the wind.
********************************************************
"YOU ARE MARRIED!" Lavanya nearly screamed.
Khushi put her hand on Lavanya's mouth and muffled her words "Not so loud.People will stare"
Lavanya nodded and pushed Khushi's hand away "But you didn't even invite me"
"I didn't even know I was married to that jerk"
"Jerk? Is he a cute jerk?"
"Lavanya,you're supposed to be on my side not his and besides.You have a fiance now.NK remember?"
Lavanya gave a sly smile "He won't know and there is no way I would stop loving him"
Khushi laughed "Right"
"So tell me what is he like"
"Bossy,rude and a huge jerk"
"You know all this time I thought you would marry your Masked Man" the words came out of Lavanya's mouth before she could stop it.Khushi froze.Lavanya bit her lip "I am so sorry Khushi.I meant-"
"No it's okay" Khushi said with a small smile "Actually I got a letter and a rose basket from him.I mean he sent it to me"
Lavanya widened her eyes "No way.So you guys are still in touch but what about your husband"
"He doesn't care about me and I don't care about him" Khushi said before she bumped into a rock hard chest.Strong arms quickly wrapped around her waist and pulled her up.Khushi's hands clutched her savior's shoulders.She gasped and widened her eyes "Arnav"
Arnav smirked "Who doesn't care about you again?"
"Who's this Khushi?" Lavanya asked curiously.
"This is-"
"Arnav Singh Raizada" he said proudly.He wrapped his arm around Khushi's waist and pulled her against him "Khushi Singh Raizada's husband"
"Husband my foot" Khushi snapped.
Arnav chuckled.Lavanya frowned as she examined him.Something looked strangely familiar about him.She pulled Khushi towards him "Don't you think he looks familiar?"
"I used to but that was before he began showing his arrogance" Khushi replied.She glared at Arnav "What are you doing here?"
"What do people come to do here?" he replied.
"Oh so you are here to shop.You shop while Lavanya and I do our own shopping"
Khushi turned around but Arnav grabbed her wrist jerking her towards him "Nice try but I am actually here to keep an eye on you"
"Me? Why?"
"You never know when you decide to do something foolish"
Khushi gritted her teeth "YOU-"
"It's okay Khushi" Lavanya said holding Khushi's hand and gently pulling her away from Arnav "Let's just simply do our shopping"
"With him watching?"
Lavanya shrugged "I guess I can get to know my friend's husband better"
Khushi frowned "Whatever"
She glared at Arnav to which he just simply smirked.
