MELTING OBSTINACY
CHAPTER 3 : part 1
for swasti , because you are simply brilliant
Garima raizada was stimulated today.Her Arnav was returning after six long months and she wanted everything simply perfect,just how he preferred .She loathed his absence around her but today he was coming back
"Samlin please put the water tumbler in Arnav,s room"she smiled and after a little pause added
"and oh dont forget to add ice to it.he should be reaching any minute now"
Samlin grinned seeing her employer this happy after so long
"dont worry madam i,ll check"
Ascertaining her hairdo one last time in the mirror Garima beamed some more.She wanted to look neoteric today,just as he always claimed she was.But most of all she wanted to look 'maa' today.
The very next moment her eyes were covered by those fingers-the fingers that she could recognise in thousands
"Would you like to take a ride with me beautiful"Arnav whispered softly in her ear .
"hmm well i could certainly think about it if i knew who is taking me out"grinned garima while turning towards him and removing his hands.
Arnav tried to look thoughtful "I can assure you women find him really hot"
he chuckled when his mother gasped ,earning a slap on his head from her.
"besharam"
He enveloped her in a warm hug after a minute
"i have missed my maa"sighed arnav
Garima smiled contently and moved her fingers in his hair
"i know"
Untangling himself he cupped her face
"I,ll soon find a way to keep you with me okay?'The sorrow in his tone made garima curse herself mentally.She couldnt spoil this for him-not today.
"Did i mention how actually hot my son looks in that marine haircut?
short and smooth!"
she winked at him
Arnav burst out laughing.There are things in your life which you would never want to change.This was the only thing for this man.
his cheerful mother-his universe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Khushi was horrendously late. And well when miss khushi kumari gupta is late (which is very rare by the way ) she basically stampedes crazily.
"Dammit Aman , Cant you just handle the god forsaken queen for 15 freaking minutes ?"she shouted on the phone while furiously looking for something decent to wear but still never messing up a single needle in her closet.
"For the last time in 10 minutes khushi , I cant handle her okay...not anymore.I think its most likely you are gonna loose the job today"replied aman calmly
"wow aman thats such a morale booster" khushi rolled up the sleeves of her crisp white shirt and checked her room once in briefly before running out of her extremely tidy room.Gulping down her juice in some micro seconds she rushed outside while grabbing the car keys.
--------------------------------------------
30 minutes after reaching the office khushi entered her cabin and sighed with relief.She loved what she did and there was no way in hell that she would loose it just because of her pig-headed boss.
After completing her BFA (bachelors in architectural designing) at hyderabad khushi had moved to Delhi for her dream job-assisting mrs lavanya roy who was one of the most celebrated architectural designer in India.As good as she was at what she did ,she was equally stern and well khushi thought while loosening her tie a bit ,bitter as well.
------------------------------------
Arnav walked into the designer,s cabin and took off his aviators. Lavanya was the best choice for this he decided added to the fact that she was a friend .He wanted a house for his mother in bombay as he was expecting his next posting there precisely and like always he wanted what was best As his father has always given her and there was simply no way that he would make his maa feel any less royal after his death.
"captain raizada!" lavanya entered and tried to salute .Arnav laughed out loud and hugged her
"no lav, not yet a captain .but i am expecting promotion in a few months so save it till that"he grinned
"why arent u asking me to sit" Arnav eyed her dramatically
lavanya hurried out remembering something"oh man dont even ask, i have a really cranky client waiting .
tu baith na.i,ll just send my assistant"
Arnav shrugged ,sat down and stretched his arms a bit.He wondered why was he still restless.
After 5 minutes or more a lady walked in with a huge pile of files in her arms.
professional he nodded to himself after looking at her attire but the moment his eyes moved to her face arnav singh raizada was darn sure he was going to change his middle name to 'auspicious'
