CHAPTER 15:
Khushi was busy with her work when her intercom rang.
'Yes Ragini.'
'Mam, Arjun Sir as come to see you. Should i send him in?'
Hearing the name Arjun, Khushi got alert and immediately asked Ragini to send him in.
Soon, Arjun entered into Khushi's cabin.
Khushi welcomed him. Once, the pleasantries are done, she asked him the purpose of his visit.
'Uncle, anything important?'
'Yes, Khushi... Someone from your office is leaking information to media. They are suspecting if there is any rivalry between you and ASR as show you others? We have to be more careful.
Not only this...'
Arjun handed Khushi a pen drive.
'...this pen drive has all the information about Gupta Industries and AR industries. For everyone, these are two different entities but only we know that they are same. Someone from here, is passing your business rivals all the information.
Thank god, I got this before they could get it. Be careful Khushi. We have to be more conscious about our enemies.'
'I don't know what problem they have with Arnav and my friendship uncle. Why all these drama? I want to be with Arnav without playing any hide and seek.'
Khushi said frustrated.
'All this is for sometime Khushi, Until ASR recovers. We know he doesn't want his maternal family to know about his condition. And also, if the world knows that ASR is bed ridden, then the shares of the AR industries will fall leading to massive chaos. So, we are keeping him on the news by showing you fighting in the market. When, two industrial giants like AR and Gupta industries compete in the market. Then, we will be diverting them from focusing on ASR.'
Soon, Arjun left the place leaving Khushi in her own thoughts.
******
In the evening, Khushi, leaving all her tiredness, stress outside, entered her home with a new plant.
It has become her habit to bring a plant every week. Arnav loves planting and now, he spend most of his time in the garden of their beautiful home.
Beautiful home... The home is not beautiful because of its architecture but it's beautiful because of the person who live there. Her Arnav.
'Another plant? Gosh! Khushi where will you keep it? Already the garden is full.' commented Arnav as soon as he saw Khushi with another plant.
'Uff... Arnav don't be stupid. You know this is an indoor plant. I am planning to keep it your room.' Khushi smiled widely showing her teeth.
'Just stop it girl. This is really too much. You should stop buying the plants. Already the garden, the balcony are full. Now, you are planning to fill my room with it. Not possible.' Chided Arnav.
Looking at her cute pout, his eyes darkened with desire bringing him to reality.
No, this is not correct, Arnav. I shouldn't think about Khushi like that. Especially, when I know what am I capable of. I can't give her anything other than being a burden on her.
Arnav, immediately, turned his face the other side chiding himself mentally.
Khushi, seeing the change in his demeanor, went towards him. Keeping the plant aside, she cupped his face and pressed her lips on his.
Arnav was for a second shocked and they forget his thoughts in a moment of bliss but soon, he pushed her away.
'What the heck Khushi? What are you doing? I said you to not do all these right?' Arnav tried to reprimand Khushi.
'Oh common, Arnie... I know. you wanted to do the same as you saw me pouting but you, Mister...'
Coming near his face.
'...listen, your mine and you are stuck with my pagal pan forever. Better understand it. I won't give any space for your guilt between our relation. Did you get that?' Khushi spoke angrily and left the place.
Arnav wondered on what he has to do to make Khushi understand.
