" You must understand, Mr.Raizada that though our destination is one, our paths have become different and opposite of each other. There is a distance of miles in between each other and our pain too. So don't compare my pain with yours." said Khushi, sternly still unable to believe that Arnav kissed her to stop her from speaking.
On the other hand, Arnav was shocked that the person who managed to attract him so much, was trying to make him, her past and move on.
But would he let it happen?
No, after all he was the Arnav Singh Raizada, who wrote his destiny along with the people's who are close to him. And Khushi was definitely on the list.
" Well, opposites attract, Ms.Khushi Gupta." said Arnav, with a naughty smirk on his face.
The reason, which made him ready to go on his knees for her was still unknown to him but Arnav Singh Raizada was person who did what he wanted, irrespective of the second thoughts he got or might get.
Khushi was startled at the come-back Arnav had come up with. She couldn't deny there was irresistible attraction in between them but how can she forget the immense pain, the guy in front of her gave to her sister going by the words of his brother.
" Whatever. I have another meeting lined up so the details of the project will be forwarded by Anita to you or your manager at the earliest. Thanks for coming here on my father's request and accepting the deal, without which I am sure, we would still remain on top." said Khushi sarcastically, as she was determined that she wouldn't let go of any opportunity to taunt Arnav.
" Sharing is Caring, Sweetheart. And soon you are going to share that position with my company. So thanks for your concern." said Arnav, with a naughty glint in his eyes.
" No Pleasure." said Khushi, while looking away from him and hinting to him to leave the cabin.
Arnav stooped down to her level and placed a warm kiss on her flushed cheeks, due to both their proximity and anger. While Khushi was astounded by Arnav's acts, Arnav was amused by the expressions which Khushi's face showed.
" I will make you feel for me, Khushi. And it is Arnav Singh Raizada's promise." told Arnav to himself while a rare and exquisite smile graced his lips.
----------
Gupta Mansion,
The door of the Gupta Mansion was being knocked and the bell was rung many times. Seeing that no one was opening the door, Lavanya went to open the door herself.
She opened the door to reveal, NK standing there with an apologetic look on his face, while his face only made angry.
" What more was left to take away from me that you came here Mr. Malhotra?" asked Lavanya, sarcastically.
" Can I please come in?" asked NK, hoping for a affirmative response.
" As if you will not come in if I answer in negative." said Lavanya, while moving away from the door so that NK could come in.
It hurt NK to see his ladylove hating him to this extent. But he was yet to realize that revenge was not something which would reduce one's pain. It was a path to attain more pain and it would reduce only when one decides to walk on the path of redemption and learns to accept one's mistakes.
Will NK ever be able earn Lavanya's love?
Will Lavanya ever be able to love again?
