Khushi : Arnav ..
Ramya : What ?
Khushi : Arnav's here .
Ramya : Where ?
Khushi : In the parking lot .
Ramya : So he was calling you .
Khushi : Hmm.
Rest of the journey we didn't talk . She dropped me in my house . I have to tell Amma immediately about this .
What ? Arman ji's parents are here ! But why ?
They are leaving my place . I smiled and wished them . I went inside the house . Amma and bua ji are sitting on the sofa .
Khushi : Amma , what are they doing here ?
Amma : Khushi , they came here to ask your hand again for their son .
Khushi : Arman ji met me too . In the cafe . He took me to a nearby park . My friends followed us . There he said he wants to marry me again . But I rejected him .
Amma : I leave it on you Khushi . But think before you act . That's all what I can say .
I simply nodded . I have to tell this to jiji . But I can't call her now . She will be busy .
My mobile ringed again . It's Arnav .
Khushi : Amma I'll just come .
Saying this . I went to the room . I locked the door and answered the call .
Khushi : Hello
Arnav : Who the hell he is ?
It's clear that he is very angry now . His voice is dangerous .
Khushi : What ?
Arnav : I've seen everything . He catching you , proposing you . Who the hell is he ?
Khushi : I am not gonna answer cuz you are not anything to me in my personal life . Got it ? And pls don't interrupt in my personal life .
I cut the call . How dare he ask me about my personal life ? Is he mad or what ? Anyways I really don't care about its consequences .
Arman ji sounded very truthful . He is not lying . Again my mobile ringed . It's Arman ji .
Arman ji : What have you decided ?
Khushi : Arman ji I really need some time .
Arman ji : Take how much ever time you want . I will wait .
I cut the call . Again my phone ringed . I'm irked with this now . It's Aisha .
Khushi : Hello Ayu .
Aisha : Massi .. Bhy didnt chu call mme ? [Why didn't you call me ?]
Khushi : Sorry baby Masi was very busy .
Aisha : Massi you crying ?
Oh no she figured it out .
Payal : What ? Are you crying Khush ? Why ?
I narrated the whole story to jiji .
*******NEXT DAY
I am scared to go to office today . Don't know how Arnav will react . I've cut the call on his face . Aman is on a leave and i don't have anyone who could help me face his wrath . I hope Devi Mayya is with me as usual .
I entered his cabin when I was called . Nothing happened .
He is extremely professional with me today and that's how it should be . Nothing more or nothing less . Maybe Lavanya got upon a great change within him which is a good fact .
Lavanya kept on sharing those things which I felt were personal . I don't know why she is describing their scenario . Telling me is ok but describing ? I felt it odd . I directed her that I'm least interested in their romantic life . I don't know if she was hurt or not but I don't want to know .
*******AFTER 3 WEEKS
Lavanya left the job without informing anyone . That is a bit surprising .
Khushi : Aman did Arnav break up with La ?
Aman : Where they ever in a relation ?
Khushi : What ?? But la told me they were .
He is gulping water from his bottle .
Aman : Shut up . Arnav was only in relationship with Swathi and no one else . Others were just passing clouds . And he would never even dream of going to LAVANYA .
He stopped . He starred me for few seconds and rushed to Arnav's cabin . They both are having a hot discussion going on . Something is fishy .
Aman came back with a dull face . I asked him he said he is just tired .
Arnav called me to his cabin .
Arnav : Khushi it's my birthday next week and I'm holding a party at my place . Invite all my friends . And you take the charge of the preparations . I want it to be grand .
Khushi : Sir even your clients should be sent an invitation ?
Arnav : My friends dammit .. No one shall be more than 30 years .
Khushi : Ok sir .
He banged the table . Oh no why do I get on his nerves all the time ?
But from where would I get his friends list ?
Arnav : You dot have to worry about that Khushi . Aman will give you the list . Start with the preparations . NOW .
I shook my head . I'm sure he has something that could read brains . I bet on it . I took steps towards the door .
Arnav : Thank your god Khushi I don't have any device that would read your brain .
He said while typing on his laptop .
I rushed downstairs .
Aman : Hey Khush Arnav told you about the party ?
Khushi : Yup .. You have the list ?
Aman : Yeah with numbers .. Here it is .
He gave me the list . I took it and called all of them and invited them for the arty . Now it's lunch time .
As usual Aman sat with me for his lunch . He told me about his girl friend and fianc , Sheetal . He loves her so much . I've asked him many times but today for the first time he spoke something about her . We continued our chatter when I saw Arnav coming downstairs .
He is coming downstairs ? Usually his lunch is sent to his cabin .
Arnav : Khushi you have to come to my house in the evening after office . You have to start the preparations right from today .
Khushi : In the evening ? I'm not sure I don't know if my mother will accept it or not .
Arnav : You will have to come . If you want I'll talk to her .
Khushi : Um. It's ok sir I'll manage .
As soon as he went back I called Amma and took her permission . I wonder how she said a yes so easily .
Amma believes Arnav a lot . She knows that we both are classmates so she doesn't fear about my safety as she is quiet sure that Arnav will be careful with his classmate at least . But the least did she knew that this guy is not that good as she thinks him to be . Of course she doesn't know that I had a crush on him .
*******EVENING
Arnav : I'll drop you in your house first then you fresh up I'll pick you then I'll drive you my home .
I didn't argue much . I don't have the strength to argue with him I'm already tired . I got into his car . The journey was full of silence .
Khushi : Sir you can step in .
Arnav : Some other day . I have some work to wrap up . I'll be back after 20 minutes .
I rushed inside . Turned on the heater . I went to the kitchen made a sandwich and had it .
Amma : What is all this on your hair Khush ?
Khushi : What is there on my hair ?
Amma : Who knows ? Just wash it .
Khushi : I'll do it once I'm back . I'm running short of time .
Bua ji : Aye Sanka Devi .. Will you go dirty like this to your boss's home ?
I marched to my room and had a shower . I saw a pink anarkali lying on the bed . But I placed a simple regular one . It should be surely done by bua ji .
I thought of to fight with her but I have only five minutes in my hand . How will I dry my hair ?
I put on the anarkali . I only have 2 minutes left .
I rushed to the mirror , moisturised my face and applied a bit of kohl and lip balm . Thank god I have a blow dryer in home . I started to blow dry my hair .
Arnav : Hello Aunty . I'm Arnav .
Amma : Namastey . Beto babua .
Arnav : No I'm fine
Amma : Would you like to have something ?
Arnav : No thanks .
He entered my house exactly after 20 minutes . My hair is dry now but I have to style it . But first I have to check him .
I got up swiftly and ran to the living room . They all saw me in surprise .
Amma and bua ji had smiles on their faces . And Arnav ... He is staring me as if he is lost after seeing me in this anarkali .
Arnav is in his night suit . I think so . His costume is like that .
Khushi : I'm sorry sir I'm late . I have to braid my hair .
Arnav : Don't
Khushi : Huh ?
Arnav : This hairstyle suits the dress . Braid won't .
I looked towards Amma and bua ji , they nodded In Approval .
Arnav is making me uncomfortable . He is staring me in a very passionate way which is making my knees go weaker . How can he even see me like that ins front of my mother ? My family ?
I tucked my hair behind my ear lock and travelled my fingers along my neck . Oh no .. I didn't wear my dupatta . That could be a reason why he is staring me so shamelessly .
I rushed to my room and wore the dupatta . I adjusted it looking myself in the mirror . I'm really pretty in this anarkali . I took a hair clip and clutched my hair . I can't leave my hair open and go just like that . I applied my lip balm again and placed it in my hand bag . Along with a small notepad and my kohl .
I again made my way to the living room where he is waiting for me .
His expression changed when he saw me now . Don't know why .
Khushi : Bye Amma , bye bua ji .
Arnav : Bye .
He wished Amma and bua ji with a cute friendly smile on his face . I never saw him like that in these days . He is just like the young Arnav . Sweet and cute . I smiled .
We got into the car .
I still wonder why Lavanya lied to me about being in relation with Arnav . Was it a prank or something . And she is out if reach . She isn't attending my calls . Anyways I don't want to think of anyone now .
Again the journey is full of silence .
We reached his house . Well is it a house ? No it's a mansion ! It is like a palace !! A castle ! I don't know how his family lives here !!
I followed him . His house is so huge !! He opened the main door and I entered along with him .
He showed me the way to the living room . Where is his family ? I thought they would be there . Now how can I be with him alone at this time ?
Arnav : My family is away for some function . No one will think anything because people in this place hardly care about others life
Arnav : So Khushi this is the living room . This will be the main hall . I want a bar counter , dance floor , a few starters and it should be quite intense like you know use those dark colours .
I nodded . I took the pictures of the living room in my mobile phone .
Arnav : You will be the event manager for the party . I don't think you need to consult any event manager for this .
What ? Is he mad ?
Khushi : Sir how can I do it all alone ?? I'm not a professional event manager . I'm sorry but I can't do this !!
He is taking steps towards me . My heart beats raised . Breathing became abnormal . Why all this is happening again ? Is this love again ?
No it can't be !! It shall never be .
I took a step backwards. He didn't stop but I did .
He leaned and whispered in my ears
Arnav : I know your talent Khushi . You can do anything.
I moved back and looked into his eyes . How can he believe me blindly ?
Arnav : I'm believing you blindly Khushi . I have full faith in you . You will never let me down .
I passed a weak smile . He went upstairs . To a room most probably his bed room .
Mean while I took a look around the ground floor . I captured few pictures . Now it's getting late . I have to inform him .
Khushi : Arnav ...
I called out his name . Oh no why did I call him by his name ,
Khushi : Sir !!
He is not even responding ! Did he go to sleep ? I will check by myself .
