PART-20: (Mega Update)

I will be posting Part-20 in two sections. Find both the sections below...

Engagement Period:

The couple of days before saturday passed in a flurry of activity. Since it was a sudden engagement, it was decided that it would happen at Arnav's house itself. Some of the close relatives and friends were invited. On one side, Khushi accompanied Anjali for her shopping; on the other side she also had to accompany Mami and Ajit for the items needed in the rituals. Khushi was fatigued.

Arnav and Khushi returned back to GM late on friday night. They planned to leave early on saturday to help with the arrangements and stay back at Arnav's place during the weekend. While Khushi was packing their bags for the next two days, Arnav slept off on the recliner.

Khushi went closer to admire her husband. He looked so peaceful in sleep. How she wished they could go to the surprise that Arnav had planned for her! "But this is Di's engagement", thought Khushi, "And I know what Di means to him". "Di is like my older sister too, Arnav and I can always go out together some other time", Khushi comforted herself and went to sleep on the bed.

The next morning Khushi was all ready to leave early, but Arnav wouldn't budge in his sleep. Khushi didn't have the heart to wake him up. She left to Arnav's place leaving him a note.

Khushi: Bua, I'm leaving to Arnav's place. He's exhausted and is still sleeping. Once he is awake, let him know that I have left.

Bua: How are you leaving beta?

Khushi: Our driver will be dropping me in the car. And also please tell him that I took his bag along with mine.

Bua: Sure, beta. We will be there tomorrow morning for the engagement.

Couple of hours later, Khushi called on Arnav's mobile to check if he was awake. When he didn't lift the phone, she called on GM's landline and asked HP to see if Arnav was still sleeping.

Preetham: HP, where are you going?

HP: Preetham Didi, Khushi Didi had called to check if Arnav Saab is awake

Preetham: I will check, you can go back to your work.

Preetham went to Khushi's room. She was puzzled to see Arnav sleeping on the recliner. She sat down next to the recliner on the floor and watched him earnestly. She kept admiring his sharp features. She was delighted to watch him so close. She ran a finger on his chiseled jaw and on the scar on his eye. She felt spiteful about Khushi's luck. "Khushi always gets the best and everything is served to her on a platter", Preetham thought. "He looks so confident and masculine", she mused. Gradually she started kissing Arnav on his face, chin and jaws careful not to wake him up. Arnav started stirring in his sleep. She then kissed him full on his lips and left the room smiling maliciously.

Preetham had made up her mind.

The day of Anjali's Engagement:

Shyam was getting ready in one room, while Anjali was being decked up by Khushi, Payal and Nisha in another room for Sagai. The house was teeming with relatives and friends. Shashi was talking to Nani and helping out Mamaji occasionally. Garima, Bua and Preetham had reached Arnav's house and were welcomed warmly. One of the kids playing around, by mistake, tore a bit of the sari that Preetham was wearing. Preetham was agitated.

Preetham: Oh god, what am I supposed to do now? Is there time to go to GM, change and come back?

Bua: No we don't have that much time. Ask Khushi if she has any other dress/ sari.

Preetham hated asking Khushi for her dresses but didn't have an option. She went to Khushi and changed into Khushi's anarkali.

Preetham: I hate this dress Bua.

Bua: Arey, this dress looks good on you beta. It is a perfect fit too. Khushi and you are the same size. Waise, I didn't like that saree that you wore before. It is too revealing.

Preetham (exclaimed): It's a designer sari Bua, that too from our GI collection.

Throughout the function Preetham noticed that Arnav's eyes followed Khushi. She felt a surge of anger whenever she saw them close.

The Sagai went well. Lunch buffet was arranged in the lawn behind the house. Khushi, Payal and Nisha were teasing each other around Anjali.

Nisha (playfully): Payal, Now that you report to my husband, I told you to bug him at work. Why are you not troubling him enough?

Payal: Aman is a nice person Nisha, But since you asked me to bother him, I promise I will. However, there is another guy that I would love to bother at office.

Khushi and Nisha (at the same time): Who is that?

Payal (naughtily): Akash

Nisha (laughing): I agree, he bothers me too. I would like it if you can retaliate well. I'll disclose to you his weak points later.

Anjali: Arey, why are you behind poor Akash?

This got the guy's attention. Ajit, Arnav, Akash and Aman were eating together.

Ajit: I thought Khushi Bhabhi, Payal and Anjali Di formed the three musketeer group. May be it should be called Four now since Nisha joined.

Arnav smiled while Akash and Aman guffawed.

Payal (winking): Sure, since Nisha joined us, we should probably be called 'The Fantastic Four'.

While the guys sniggered at this, Jatin came to join them. Jatin had struck an easy friendship with Anjali and Khushi over the past three days.

Mami needed some assistance and as Khushi turned to go into the house, Jatin trailed behind her.

Jatin and Khushi chatted well as they aided Mami with her work.

Arnav missed Khushi due to the hectic nature of the previous days. He found her laughing with Jatin and felt jealous.

Arnav: Khushi, can you come with me?

Khushi: But Arnav, mami needs my help.

Arnav: I guess Jatin can help her for a while, I need to talk to you. Can you Jatin?

Jatin: Sure, carry on Khushi.

Arnav took her upstairs to his room and shut the door. He pulled her close and slammed his lips on her. khushi was surprised at this sudden onslaught but held onto him tight. Arnav kissed her heatedly. "I have been yearning for you from the past three days Khushi and you have been ignoring me", he said in between the kisses, "I'm going bonkers for you".

Khushi smiled coyly as she settled her fingers in his hair while getting crushed in his arms "I did not ignore you. I was just busy, but I missed you too", she said against his lips.

"By now we would have been done with half of our honeymoon if we had gone to Manali", he said.

"Oh, so you were planning to take me to Manali?", she asked.

Without answering her, he started kissing her again and moved his left hand under her saree pallu onto her blouse touching her sensually.

"Arnav", Khushi cried. "Hmm, what happened?", the devil asked with a smirk. "Let me go please", Khushi said. "Never sweetheart", Arnav said as he pulled a dori of the blouse loose.

Khushi moved back nervously pushing him softly on his chest with her palms, "No Arnav, this is not the time. What if someone comes?"

Arnav moved down from her lips and started biting her chin and neck, "Waise, the way you woke me up yesterday morning at GM was awesome. You should do that often", he said.

Khushi was confused. "I did not wake you up yesterday morning at GM, I asked HP to check on you, may be he woke you up."

"Rubbish! You kissed me everywhere on my face and gently woke me up. By the way, I didn't know you were bold enough to smooch me", he said naughtily.

"I did not kiss you yesterday morning. I was here at least two hours before you woke up, so I'm sure you dreamt all that", Khushi giggled.

Just then, Mami called out for Khushi from downstairs and Khushi asked Arnav to tie her dori quickly. As Khushi left, Arnav was lost in thoughts. "I'm pretty sure that someone kissed me yesterday morning before I woke up. It was not a dream.

If it is not Khushi, then who is it?"

PART-20: (Mega Update)

I have posted Part-20 in two sections.

Back at GI:

Shashank Gupta had joined GI again as he was allotted to work on a few projects by Shashi Gupta. It was midweek, and the workload was huge, prompting many to eagerly wait for the weekend.

They needed a preliminary plan on one of his projects and hence a conference was scheduled with Shashi, Shashank, a few key employees from sales, marketing and fashion. Samar Kaushal, the marketing head led the meeting.

As the discussion progressed, Samar suggested that he would require in-puts from everyone. While most of the members in the committee expressed their opinions, Arnav talked about the trends and conveyed a few ideas for strategic marketing.

Shashank (in an accusing tone): ASR, I think you should only talk about fashion as that is your department. You should not be talking about marketing.

Arnav was offended with the comment.

Arnav (cooly retorted): I know that I belong to fashion designing. I was just expressing my views, just like everyone else here, on strategies. I don't think that is harmful.

Shashank spoke with malice. He had noticed how everyone at work looked at Arnav with respect and took his suggestions seriously. He was extremely jealous and insecure of Arnav's competence.

Shashank: Just because you are my brother's son-in-law does not mean we will accept any of the ideas that you throw out here. It doesn't give you any right to decide either.

Now, everybody was stunned at this accusation. Arnav was infuriated. This was exactly what Arnav had detested before he got married to Khushi. He never wanted to be looked at as the CEO's son-in-law.

Arnav: My personal life and relationships have nothing to do in this official setting. I strive hard for the betterment of this company like everyone else here. (Looking at everyone in general) Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't see the need for my expertise anymore in this project. So I'm sorry to say that I withdraw from this venture.

Saying this, Arnav stood up and walked out of the conference room.

There was pin drop silence for a few seconds. Shashi and Samar were enraged at Shashank's behavior.

Samar: How can you say something like that Shashank? ASR has provided valuable feedback before and has also helped us with good marketing strategies. He is proficient in what he does. The only reason he is in Fashion designing is because, when he came in initially, he was offered a job in fashion as he is himself an expert designer. He just chose to continue the same.

Sheetal: That's right, when Samar suggested that ASR be moved to marketing because of his ideas, I requested him to stay back at fashion. ASR continued since he couldn't refuse me.

Seema: ASR's concepts and proposals are amazing. They have brought us success before. He had a huge part to play in grabbing the deal with Ruffel industries.

Shashi: ASR grew in the company due to his own mettle and handwork and not because he is my son-in-law. In fact, he is very discrete about maintaining his professional and personal lives separate. Nobody in GI looks or treats him special because he is related to me.

Samar (turning towards Shashi): Sir, I'm sorry to say that as much as Shashank dislikes it, we need ASR's skill in this project. So, I suggest you decide how you can convince and bring him onboard. Knowing how tough ASR is, that is not going to be easy.

The meeting was deferred indefinitely.

Shashi and Sheetal tried to find where Arnav was but he had left the office by then. Shashi did not want to worry Khushi, so he did not call her. Khushi was unaware of what had happened between her husband and Chachu.

Arnav needed to get away to cool his head. He was beyond angry. He could have blasted Shashank or reacted more aggressively but Khushi's face flashed in his mind. Shashank was her chachu. Arnav knew how much Khushi loved her family. He had left from there to control his rage lest he spoke something that Khushi regretted in future. He didn't even know how to tell this to Khushi.

He didn't take any calls from his colleagues or Shashi. Aman was able to finally get through to him by late evening.

Aman (on phone): ASR, where are you?

Arnav: I'm outside the city.

Aman: Are you crazy? I heard what happened at the meeting today. Why are you unnecessarily stressing yourself? You need to eat and take your medications. Otherwise you will faint. Go back home right now.

Arnav did not want to go to GM; he didn't want to go back to his house either to avoid having to answer Nani and Mamaji. Aman understood Arnav's concerns.

Aman: Come to my place ASR. Nisha and I are waiting for you. I mean it, we will wait without eating until you get here.

Arnav: Ok, I will be at your place in half-an-hour.

Arnav had dinner and stayed back at Aman's place for the night. His phone was completely out of charge. He couldn't think in his fury. He was exhausted and fell asleep.

As it grew darker, Khushi started getting worried about her husband. She couldn't get through to him. Shashi on the other hand did not know how to contact Arnav. He called Arnav's house to check casually if he was there, without letting anyone know what had happened.

Khushi: Papa, I'm not able to get through Arnav's phone. Do you know if he is still at office?

Everyone was seated in the living area in GM when Khushi came to talk to her dad.

Shashi: No beta, he is not at work.

Khushi: Then, where is he? He should have been home by now. He always messages me if he gets late.

Shashi: Khushi, I want you to relax beta. I am also trying to figure out where he is.

Khushi (getting nervous): What do you mean papa? Did something happen?

Shashi (sighing): Beta, Arnav and your Chachu had a clash and Arnav left the office. I haven't see him after that. I checked with his Nani but he is not at his house either.

Khushi burst into tears. "Why didn't you tell me that papa?", she then looked at her Chachu angrily and said, "How could you Chachu?"

Garima was angered that Khushi blamed Shashank.

Garima: Why do you want to blame chachu? Why don't you blame your husband? Your husband is not a kid that he can get angry and run away from the house. Why didn't he even call you till now?

Shashi: Stop it Garima, don't drag this more.

Shashi did not want to tell his family members in front of Shashank that it was Shashank's fault and insult him.

He returned towards Khushi and said, "Don't worry beta, we will find out where he is."

Garima (mockingly): Don't worry Khushi, he will be back by tomorrow morning. I am sure wherever he is, he will be quite comfortable tonight.

Khushi (exclaimed): Amma, How can you talk like that about him?

Shashi (bellowed): Enough Garima! Not a single word against Arnav.

Khushi was too upset to respond and ran upstairs to her room. She heard her phone ring and lifted up right away.

Khushi (sobbing): Arnav, where are you?

Aman: Khushi Bhabhi, Aman here.

Khushi: Oh Aman, I didn't see who called.

Aman: Don't worry, Arnav is here in my place.

Khushi: What? Thank god, I was so distressed. Is he ok?

Aman: He is now. He was pretty angry before. He had food and slept. His phone battery is completely down. I thought I should call and let you know so you wouldn't worry.

Khushi: Thanks so much Aman. I will come to your place right away.

Aman: No Khushi, stay back home. It's already late. I'll talk to him tomorrow morning. He is anyways sleeping now. I don't think he would come to GM tomorrow; you can meet him at our office.

Khushi: No Aman, I want to come.

Aman: No Bhabhi, please listen to me. Trust me , I'll take good care of him. Good night.

Khushi met her dad in his study and told him that Arnav was at Aman's place. She asked her dad what had happened that enraged Arnav so much. Shashi told her what took place in the meeting. Khushi was stunned to hear that her Chachu spoke to her husband with so much animosity. She went back to her room numb.

Khushi fell asleep slowly, "How can Chachu berate Arnav, even Amma too?" She was flustered that her own family disliked her husband. She was worried about the small storms coming up in her house.

Little did she know that there was a tornado on the way...
