Khushi was concentrating on the key and the lock as if it was most complicated work till this date...numerous attempts brought a frown on her face...suddenly door opened like MAGIC!!!! ... And her fantasy dream was broken by a scream
" what d hell u think u cn get by screaming at me..at least let me live in my own house without any raizada fear ... " khushi said cupping her ears and closing her eyes tight
" khushi!!!! U r drank... How could u " lavanya said as a lone tear appeared in her eye
" ohh!!! Laaa ...itzzz zuuu...m sorry darling..." Said khushi as she started crying flanging her arms around lavanya's neck
" ohh...I m sorry sweety ... Its becoz of me u had to face him...but not any more ...I m here to protect u...I will not bear even a scratch on u ..."
" la ...I really love him ...I miss him so badly"
Khushi don't u think he deserves to know the truth ...its been long time now ... And I don't think we will be able to hid it any more" as she understood him her always reffers to arnav Singh raizada
" why are u saying so ...I have been hiding it from last 2 years...and more over i m completely avoiding meeting him at office"
Khushi said lazyly settling down on the sofa with lime water and medicine and at very instant she realized what she has blabbered
And she closed her eyes tightly wishing to get invisible ...damn hard luck...she slowly raised her head with a I-m-caught-plz-forget-whatever-i-said look but looking at lavanya's face which reflected ur-caught- no-way-to-escape she gave her a cute smile...
" so now time for ur surprise"
" huh!" Khushi said in confussion and surprise that how can she simply ignore such a huuugggeee confession of her or my be I m still under the slight effect of alcohol
"Yaa ...surprise ...don't u remember" said lavanya giving a irritated and questioning look
"Yup...my surprise...so tell me wat is it"
Lavanya placed an envelop in her hand and asked her to read it.
Khushi opened the Envelop and her eye popes out while reading it
"What the hell is this" said khushi shockingly
" don't tell me u can't read ...oh my god ...wait a minute...is letter in Spanish ..." Said lavanya and khushi face clearly reflected irritated and worried look (why has la joined AR ... Is she really thrown out of her office...or Does she know about arnav's return...maybe)
" how did u come to know about him" khushi asked with a blank face ,not looking towards her
"I thought he is a goddamn celeb so u can easily get info about him "
" why r u joining AR?" Khushi asked coldly
". I got a really got offer with handsome pay...so I just grabbed it ..."
"Real reason"
" and of course I want to spend time with u"
"For the last and final time , give me the damn reason"
Hearing anger in her tone and irritation she sensed that its time so, lavanya gave up and taking a long breath she started
" when I was in London ...I always kept myself updated about ur reports and and ur progress from last 2 years ...and I found ur body quickly started responding to treatment ... So I was satisfied...but one day out of no where I came to know about his arrival to India...and i came to know about ur deteriorating state... and I cannot take chances as some one should be there to take care of... So even before his arrival I came back to u ...and even got job at AR... So that jerk doesn't harm u"
As she finished she saw tears rolling down khushi's checks. She quickly hugged her . she tried to calm her down but khushi started sobbing uncontrollablly .
After a few minutes she compose her self and said
" why u have to always be so caring and possessive about me"
"Cause I always keep finding ways how to rescue brainless damsels in distress" said lavanya with a wink
" shut up u bitch"
Khushi said throwing a pillow in her direction in anger and lavanya gave a hearty laugh and throw another cushion towards her
And soon room was littered with cotton foam and cushion ...khushi and lavanya tiers after a tom and jerry show display ...throw them selves on there bed...giggling uncontrollably... Suddenly the laugh died and khushi said
" u know wat La... Deep down I know I don't deserve u ... I have only given u pain and tension... And u selflessly always kept me before u...I m sorry lavanya...coz of me u are suffering through all this
" shhh...khush get on thing straight in ur not-in-use head that I m not doing any favour on u and u r not a burden on me...u r my family...for whom I live...for whom I breath ...plz don't take that right from me by insulting it wid all these words"
Ohkay...I m sorry ...u know na ur kiddo gets crazy usually... So tell me how should I repent for my mistake"
" hmm...I think Choco walnut brownie with vanilla icecream and Chocolate saure topping will do " said lavanya thoughtfully
" ohkyy sweetie u will get it right now" khushi said with a great smile and left the room leaving a thoughtful lavanya being ( how should I tell khushi what's coming up for her tomorrow... How will I protect her ... But I have to protect her from that jerk by hook or crook )
And left her room to help khushi in kitchen while sending silent prays for tomorrow
-*-*-*
Next morning, while settling down in their car to leave for work
( I should crack the news to khush in advance about him so that she digests it and prepare herself till we reach office ...Baki sabh mein sambhal lungi)
" hey kiddo!! I wanted to tell u sth really important ...which u really need to know"
" yes La...u have all my ears"
"Actually khush the thing is...
Lavanya got interrupted by a phone call she irritatedly picked up the call and without checking the number she literally barked
" yes... Lavanya here"
"What??...I mean how is it possible...oh really...how could u be so irresponsible...ohky I will re- dictate u everything u better keep it safe "
And the time she fruststedly completed the call till that time they had reached the lobby of the office before she could call khushi to tell her an announcement was made for all the head executives to assemble in conference room immediately .
Cursing the bloody caller she rush towards conference room
She found room fully occupied and only found a chair opposite to Nandini . she quickly grabbed the chair and reattempted to say
" khushi I wanted to tell u that...
Hard luck !!! She was interrupted by a bold and familiar voice
" Good morning ladies and gentleman. U must be thinking reason of sudden meeting so here is the reason .as we all know we have open again a new branch in France so for starting 6 months I have decided to shift Mr singha and Mr johar there so we have vacant positions and we cannot afford a new employee on those position so board of directors have decided to place Ms gupta as senior manager and Ms kapoor as head executive of IT department "
This news shocked khushi till wits and lavanya who was watching changing emotions on khushis face could only send silent prayers for giving strength to her kiddo to accept and manage everything especially that jerk saying this she turned towards arnav and finds him smirking and enjoying khushis expression...
He continued speaking and explains the team everything but khushi hardly paid attention to him
" Ms gupta...did u get what I m saying"
Still khushi didn't responded and kept her graze lower
Lavanya stumped on her foot hurriedly under the table
" ouch.!!! What is it LA??" Khushi said giving a painful look towards lavanya.
Lavanya cleared her throat and signalling towards arnav
She hurriedly replied
" yes sir ...sure sir"
Ohky ...so meeting comes to an end ...plz resume ur respective work ...and Ms gupta stay back "
Precap:" you bitch"
" u know what people have called me even worst"
"What" arnav said not understanding what's coming next
"Your girlfriend"
