Arnav : Hi Khushi .
He said with a smirk . He is standing against his car door and a leg on it with his hands folded .
I stock still in my place .
Anusha : Arnav !
Samrat : Singh Raizada . Arnav Singh Raizada .
Khushi : ASR .
We three were looking at him . Soft and heavy winter breeze flushed upon my face . I blinked my eyes a few times . And saw Arnav in the same position smirking .
Samrat : Sir what are you doing here ? In our office .
Anusha : Khushi come let's go . I don't think you have to be here .
Arnav : Anusha and Mr.Who so ever .you both may leave now . Leave the love birds alone .
He said looking at me maintaining the same expression . But I couldn't react I'm frozen .
Arnav : Get lost .
Samrat : Anusha come let's leave .
They both left . But I stood still . I couldn't even blink my eyes .
Arnav took steps towards me . I still couldn't move . My heart beats and breaths raced with each other .
Arnav : Who is he ?
Khushi : My colleague .
Arnav : Oh . Ask him to be in his limits .
Khushi : What is your problem if he is talking to me ?
Arnav : Because I love you .
Khushi : And I don't .
Arnav : Step inside my car .
Khushi : No I won't .
Arnav : I don't think you want to create a fuss here .
He opened the door for me and I got in . He too got in his seat and started to drive very slowly .
Arnav : How's your new office ?
Khushi : Awesome . It is the best office I've ever worked in .
He passed out a sarcastic smile . I guess he very well knows that AR is special for me .
Khushi : How did you get to know about my office ?
Arnav : Sources Khushi . Remember who I am .
Khushi : Arnav Singh Raizada .
I muttered under my breath .
He smirked again looking at me .
Arnav : Mom and dad came back . They are happy to know that you were the girl I loved . You already know that they wanted us to get married . Now they want to talk to your family . What do you say ?
Khushi : Stop it Arnav . You know that I can never marry you in my nightmare also .
He is smirking again .
Arnav : So marry me in reality .
He said with a wider smirk .
Khushi : Stop smirking Arnav . Stop it .
I said pointing my finger towards me .
Arnav : No I can't .
Khushi : Stop it or else the result is gonna be really bad .
He stopped the car . And opened his seat belt .
Arnav : What will you do ?
He is coming closer to me . I started bending . I leaned on the window pane . He placed his hands on either side and leaned more
Arnav : Tell me what will you do ?
He asked me in a husky voice . Of course why wouldn't my heartbeats and breathing race again ?
Khushi : I .. I I will .. I I
Arnav : You what Khushi ?
He again asked me in his husky voice . I closed my eyes to suppress my uneven heart and breath .
I felt his warm breath on my face . He kissed my forehead , my cheeks .
I clutched his shirt as I can't control those emotions anymore . Why does this even happen to me ? Why can't I control my heart and my breaths ? Why do they raise all of a sudden ?
I could feel his warm nose touching my cold one . I know what is coming . I pushed him .
He looked at me with shock and rage . Rage because I pushed him . He fisted his hand and banged the steering .
He started driving very fastly .
He dropped me home .
Bua ji : Arnav Tumhe drop kiya ,
Khushi : Ji bua ji .
Bua ji : Acha office kaisa tha ?
Khushi : Good .
******NEXT DAY
I drove to my office . As I entered everyone were looking dull .
Khushi : What happened Anusha ?
Anusha : Ma'am is calling you .
She said in a low tone .
Khushi : May I come in ?
Mrs.Kapoor : Yes darling .
Mrs. Kapoor : Khushi , I know that you saved me from drowning . But beta you have to leave this job .
Khushi : But why ma'am ? Am I not good ?
Mrs. Kapoor : You are the best . But I'm helpless . I promised not to say anything more .
My eyes became moist and an alone tear travelled along my cheek .
I turned around leave .
Mrs. Kapoor : One minute beta .
I again turned towards her .
Mrs. Kapoor : Khushi . ASR wants you ?
Khushi : What ?
Mrs. Kapoor : ASR offered me a huge amount of money and few big opportunities . He warned me not to leak this to anyone . Also he is the one who made other companies to reject you . No one will do this for a girl . And ASR seems to be very ruthless and arrogant why would he love someone ? He would only lust girls . I told you all this because I like you very much .
Khushi : Bye ma'am .
I left that place . Why is Arnav doing all this ? What does he want to prove ? That I can't escape from him ? But I will make him lose . I will do something . All I want to do is follow Akaash jiju's plan .
I drove to AR . What does he think of himself . I made my way to his cabin .
Khushi : What do you think of yourself ? Why are you doing all this ? And all your cheap tricks won't work on me !
Arnav : Cheap tricks ? I've invested so much on it !
He closed his file and inched towards me . I shifted my gaze to the other side .
Khushi : As if I care !
Arnav : Look at me Khushi . No one will give you a job . You have to comeback here only .
I didn't look at him but fixed my gaze on the floor .
Khushi : That will never happen .
Arnav : We'll see . Look at me Khushi .
Khushi : We will see . No I don't want to see you .
Arnav : Comeback soon . I'm missing you very badly .
Khushi : I will surely come . But in your dreams .
I looked at him
Arnav : I don't live in dreams like you . I struggle hard to make my dreams come true .
Khushi : Whatever ! I've come to inform that You will lose against me .
Arnav : Losing is not their in my dictionary Khushi .
' kaha se kardli aesi bakwaas dictionary ? ' the dialogue from chennai express hit my mind .
Am I not mad ? How can I even think of movies now ?
Khushi : Either it is in my dictionary .
I got out of that place .
My mobile started ringing . Arman ji is calling me .
Khushi : Hello .
Arman ji : Hello Khushi . I called to know about your reply .
Khushi : Arman ji will you help me ?
Arman ji : Yeah sure .
Khushi : Arman ji , I need one job .
Arman ji : Yeah sure . I guess there is a job vacant in office . I'll talk to him .
Khushi : Thank you .
Arman ji : You are always welcome .m
Khushi : Bye .
Arman ji : Bye .
Thank you Devi Mayya . But please make sure that I'm not kicked off from to here too .
*******THE MALLIKS
I went to Arman ji's office . He immediately employed me . But the problem is Arman ji has also started working in the same office . I already worked here . This place is completely known for me . The only difference is Arman ji is working here now .
Moreover I have to work along with him ! Uff not a great idea ! But I have to . For my family .
Khushi : Sure Arman ji . I will inform them .
I made a call to our partners and informed them the details of the deal .
I started working on the computer when I got another call .
Khushi : Hello .
Arnav : Hey Khushi .
Khushi : Aap ?
Arnav : Guessed it right . So how is it working with Arman .
Khushi : Arman ji will not kick me out of here at any cost .
Arnav : I know . What if you yourself get out from there ? Sounds great right ?
Khushi : That will never happen .
Arnav : Wait and watch .
Khushi : I don't have that much time . I'm busy . Bye .
I cut the phone . Who is that keeping a eye on me ? Who so ever it is , He is very sincere . I must admit .
I drove back home after the office .
Khushi : What ? Jiji and jiju came here ? Why didn't you call me ?
Amma : We thought you were busy .
Bua ji : Payal invited you to Raizada mansion . She said she will meet you there after you come back . Come on hurry up . You have to leave now .
Amma : And take your night clothes too . What if they want you to stay there over night ! Just keep those clothes in your car .
Khushi : Is it compulsory that I have to go there ?
Bua ji : What are you speaking ? Won't you meet Aisha , Payal and Akaash babua after these many months ?
Khushi : I will take a bath and go .
I went to my room and had a quick bath . I wore my patiala accompanied with a plain t-shirt . I put on a candigan too .
I don't have the time to dry my hair , so I just put on a head band .
Bua ji : You look so cute like this ! You look like a kid !
Khushi : Thank you bua ji .
Amma : Why don't you dress up like this everyday !
Khushi : Ha Ha .. Bye .
We three hugged and I drove to the devil's den .
I reached the Raizada mansion . I knocked the door . Hari Prakash ji opened the door .
Hari Prakash : Namastey , Khushi ji . Andar ayiye na . [ Come inside .]
Khushi : Ji Namastey .
I stepped inside . The living room is empty .
Hari Prakash : Everyone are in the home theatre .
Khushi : Ok . I will go there .
I prayed silently that Arnav shouldn't be there .
I knocked the door of the home theatre . The sound is really high . I guess they didn't even hear me .
I knocked hard this time . Jiji opened the door . I hugged her immediately .
Khushi : Hi jiji . How are you ?
Payal : Hi cutie . I'm fine .
We broke our hug . Our eyes immediately became moist . Aisha cam running to me and hugged me .
I bent down and hugged her too .
Khushi : Oh my princess became very tall .
She nodded her head . I kissed her . How can she be so cute ! She kissed me back .
I got up . Arnav is here . He is sitting in the back . Jiju also came to us and said a hi . I too greeted him .
Khushi : Namastey Aunty . Namastey uncle .
Sudha : You became so big Khushi ! You were so small at Aisha's first birthday .
I just smiled . I touched uncle and aunties feet . And they both hugged me together .
Santosh : God bless you .
Khushi : Hi Bhabi and bhayya !
Anjali and Shyam : Hey Khush !
Aisha : I want to see papa's wedding now .
Anjali : Ok baby . Khushi we were watching our wedding clips till now .
Just then Bhabhi's 6 years old son , Manik came to me .
Manik : Khushi maami right ?
Khushi : Maami ?
Manik : Haan . Arnav is my maamu and you are my maami . You both are getting married .
I instantly saw Arnav and so did he .
Aisha : What ! Nannav chachu and Masi are getting married ? So I can be in that video na mamma ?
Jiji just smiled . I passed a weak smile .
Anjali : Shut up Manik . Don't you wish to see the other video clips ?
Manik walked to his mother and sat down beside her on the .
The theatre room is very big . Jiji and her small family is sitting on the sofa bed , Anjali bhabi and her family on a soft big mattress , both in the front . Aunty and uncle sat on a couch in the middle . Arnav leaned on the wall sitting on a bean bag . I have no place to sit except beside Arnav .
Anjali : Now let's watch Akaash and Payal's wedding video . Payu turn off the lights and Khush comfort yourself .
Jiji turned the lights off . I took small steps towards Arnav .
I sat on the other bean bag beside him . We both looked at each other . I passed a small smile .
The video began .
Payal & Akaash's Engagement
The title appeared .
I myself edited their wedding video along with Nanhe ji . We both took a lot of effort to make their wedding video .
Akaash jiju was waiting on the stage for jiji . He turned towards the stairs . Me and jiji's friends were getting down the stairs along with jiji . And jiju stared at his lady love . He looked at jiji with so much love .
My face became hot seeing their unspoken love .
Aisha : Papa loves mamma
Aisha announced . We all started to laugh on her innocent talks . I'm sure jiji and jiju are blushing . I turned to see Arnav and he had a small smile on his face . He looks so good with this smile but why does he hide that ? Why isn't he laughing openly like before ? Why did he start hating himself ?
I again turned towards the screen . We had so much fun that day . Babu ji was also there that day he is so happy to see his first daughter , Payal getting married .
It was an arranged marriage for jiju and jiji . But they knew each other from before and they liked each other . Unknowingly his parents asked my sisters hand in marriage . Amma got the horoscopes checked and they matched perfectly . So we too agreed and their cute love story started .
I was 18 then , jiji was 20 and jiju was 25 . We three looked so young !
Jiji and jiju slid rings and were engaged . And a song started to play . ' Salam-E-Ishq' .
Nanhe ji , His sister and I were dancing on it . We made jiji and jiju also dance . Later everyone joined us .
Our dance is pictured so perfectly . I saw Arnav and he seems to be quiet jealous . Well Nanhe ji , I mean NK is Shyam bhayya's relative . He is 5 years older than me . Maybe he is worrying about that . He knows that I want my life partner to be 5 years older than me . And also I don't think he knows that we both are just good friends . No best friends !
Cocktail Party
It was a full desi party . There again I danced a long with Nanhe ji on ' Drama Queen ' .
Sangeet
I danced on tum hi ho bandhu along with Ramya and Usha . Then we danced on bahara .
Nanhe ji did his solo performance .
Arnav : I never knew that you are a good dancer .
He whispered . He slowly caught my hand and my back straightened by itself . How can he do this in front of his family ?
Arnav : No one can see us . We are in the back .
I know I can't win over him . I concentrated again on the video .
I was dancing with Nanhe ji on all jiji's favourite tracks . Most of them were jiju's favourites too .
Arnav : Why did you dance with him ?
Khushi : Because you rejected .
Arnav : What ? Look at me when I'm talking to you .
I tilted my head and saw him .
Khushi : Don't you remember ? Bhaabhi asked you to dance along with the bride's sister and you said a no without even knowing who she is .
Arnav : And I didn't want to meet you so I said I will not attend bhai's wedding .
Khushi : Hmm .
I nodded .
Arnav : Dammit .
