Chapter 3
That night due to some reason Arnav couldn't sleep, there was this excitement and anticipation about something thats going to happen in the coming days. Yes he was excited of his new project, he was excited for going to udaipur, but he normally used to have this excitement during his each project, but this time it was different as if this visit is going to change he life in a different way... why he felt like this he didn't know, but her knew one thing thatudaipur is going to be exciting and enchanting.
Here khushi was nervous of her decision of taking up this new challenge her way, her babauji was very confident that they can do it, but somehow she was not convined...she was new to this field and was still in the process of understanding the business and she surely didn't want to mess this up with her lack on knowledge... on the other hand payal was tooo excited... and was continuously surfing about a certain Raizada who is going to grace his presence in udaipur soon.
Bhabbiii.. yaar look at him... he so damn handsome ufff...
Payal... don't you have shame you are oggling at a man like this,
Offoo bhabhi you are saying as if Iam going to jump on him as soon as I see him, arey I was just looking at their line of business and the list of achievements they have made to get a better understanding.. when I came across this handsome creature..
Arnav Singh Raizada... urfff ASR as they call him, has won the youngest business man of the year award has made his father proud, has always been in the good books of media and no controversies at all.
Very sweet guy, always happy and cheerful, but when it comes to business.. no body can stand in front of him, he is an enigma.
Bas Bas payal, can you just stop I am not interested in his profile, just need to know how he will be with us... with our work thats all.
Offo bhabhi... you are so boring have some entertainment in life... Payal said
Payal... enough...
Now payal knew that look... ok Bhabhi... sorry... mai toh bas..
Khushi left the room quietly... fun and entertainment in life is not meant for her she knew that... just that people around her don't understand that unfortunately.
She knows that they have the best of interest for her... but she is not able to bring herslef to it, the colors in her life will not return.. she doednt want to... she just hates colors.
Payal saw khushi leaving and gave a sigh... god please bring some colors to my bhabi's life... can someone bring happiness and smile on her face? Can someone show her.. tell her... that life is not all about losing but gaining something as well. I wish... I hope that someday.. a man will come to her life and wipe away all her miseries... I will wait for that special day god, please koi aisa la do joh meri bhabhi ke zindage dher saara pyaar bhar de...
Now God listens to kind hearted people very soon...
Ajay had called Shukla and informed him about Arnav's arrival and shukla strictly told him that Arnav and his friends will stay at his house and not some hotel, though initially Ajay objected saying that he doesnt want to bother his dear friend but later gave up.
Arnav NK and Aakash had soon reached udaipur and were mesmerized by its beauty, the place was too enchanting, like everyone said the place has its charm.
Shukla had arrange for pick up and soon they reached shuklaji's house.
Namsatey Uncle, Arnav and his friends touched shuklaji's feet, jeete raho baccho, I was waiting for you.
Uncle why did you stress yourself we would have stayed at hotel.
Common Arnav... how will I allow my dear friends son and his friends to stay in a hotel, when I have such a big house and you know since Iam a bachelor.. there will be no disturnbance for you.
No No uncle... thats not what I meant... Arnav said.
I know Arnav and by the way I too wanted some company of youngsters you know he winked... after all I am not that old you see..
Off course not uncle... who said you are old... you know we will rock in udaipur... Nk cheered up and Arnav just rolled his eyes..
NK and his ways... by the way uncle we would like to visit Udaipur city before starting work... lets have some fun guys before starting our work, Arnav did a hi fi to Aakash...
Main toh thak gaya hoon, I will sleeo for whole day... Aakash said...
Oh common aakash don't be spoil sport, why are you so lazy...? Arnav cried... getting irritated.
Ok Ok.. Arnav we will go relax... yaar tere mein itni energy kaha se aati hain yaar.
You see Iam not a lazy bone, don't want to miss a single opportunity to explore this place and you never know, it will help us in our project also.
Next day Arnav Nk and Aakash had a small tour around various forts of Udaipur, it was so unique and beautiful to see big forts floating on the lakes, it was a vision worth to see.
They also visited various temples and were now going to the famous Srinathji Temple which was famous in Udaipur. The climate was very pleasant and they were enjoying each and every minute.
Arnav was not a great devotee, but he did believe in the existence of God, specially whenever his mother used to do pooja, he made it a point to be present as it gave him peace.
Today was a special day in the temple and thats the reason it was crowded and full of devotees.
They had just reached the entrance, when suddenly there was a crowd gathered near the staircase of the entrance.. Arnav was curious to see whats happening and hence leaving NK and Aakash he went to see whats the matter and he saw a girl may be of 17 or 18 trying to argue with an elder lady and she was looking quite angry at the same time cute as well, the way she was scolding the lady with a red nose and angry face it all looked very funny he was so lost in the funny scene that he could only hear the parting words of the girl, Khabardaar joh phir dobara aisi baat ki toh, main keh rahi hoon bardasht nahi karoongi... saying so she pulled someone and started moving out of the place.. Arnav didn't know why... but he felt like something or rather somone was pulling him towards something he didn't know what and then suddenly something happened... something which made him glued to his place...he saw a flash of light pink duppata flowing in the air and an image was hiding behind the duppatta... the girl was walking ahead and he couldn't see that image flash and hence he started moving towards as if in a trance, he didn't know why but he wanted to see who was it, it was giving him some weird vibes... he was looking like a fool following the two people, walking ahead of him.
He had this urge to just stop them, but he couldn't.. suddenly as if he got lucky one of them turned to catch hold of her duppata... and then what happened he didn't knew, he felt like he is in the air and his legs are not supporting him, he had heard in movies and had read in some romantic novels about the same situation he is facing now, but never knew such things happen in reality.
He saw her trying to hold the duppatta but it was flowing out of her control and then she just pulled it with force due to which her long luscious hair which was in a pony till now came flowing to her front.
Arnav was a goner, his heart stopped beating for a second... never ever he had seen such a beauty in his life, she was looking like a goddess and he was doubtful, whether she was really one since he was in a temple as he had never seen such a flawless face with so much of innocence ever in his life, he could see she was struggling and he really wanted to help her out, but as he went near he could see that she was literally into tears trying to control her emotions and then the girl who was with her helped her and they left the place.
What happened... what just happened.. he didn't knew... he was clueless he was not aware of his surroundings and wanted to shake himself so that he can come back to earth from his dreamland.
NK and Aakash were trying to locate him when suddenly they saw their dear friend lost in some thought as if he doesn't belong to this planet.
Oye... Arnav... Oye yaar what happened where are you lost... NK asked while shaking Arnav continuously...
What happened Arnav? Aakash asked getting no reply from their friend, finally they shouted Arnav... and he came back out of his thoughts... and thats when he realized those girls have left.
NK... I... I met her... I saw her, he said.
... her...? who... whom did you see? NK asked
I don't know... just know that she... she just... she took my breath away NK as well as my peace, now don't know my mind will be restless till I see her again... she was ... she was so divine.. you know like angel.
I want to meet her... soon.
Oye Arnav calm down yaar, kaun thi woh... what was her name... where does she live... Aakash asked.
I don't know... common yaar how will I know Iam new to this place, but felt like she... she is the one.
NK have you heard about Love at first sight... I know even I used to think that such things don't happen its all damn foolishness,,,, but today I felt like... just looking at her till the time I don't loose my senses, can this happen, can this really happen.
But... but NK she was crying yaar... I don't know why... somehow...it..it disturbed me.
Arnav was totally lost for the whole day, he was not able to push away that angel's face from his thoughts.
He never felt so ever, this feeling was new and he didn't know what to do as he doesnt know who is she.
Here in gupta mansion, shashi saw a distressed khushi and a ready to fire payal entering in the house. He tried to ask khushi whats the matter but she just ran away with a sad face and he was worried.
He saw payal who was still fuming, beta what happened?
Don't ask Babuji, I met vimla mausi in mandir today, and you know how she is... she opened her mouth and said things about bhabhi that we couldn't bare, I toh gave her nicely.
Garima came listening, Payal why you have to create a scene in Temple, you know some people never change, then why even try.
By the way what did she say, shashi asked?
She said, 'finally has khushi started coming out of her house, oh haa I heard she is managing Shashi's factory aslo, Ram ram... I toh tell you... Zamaana kitna badal gaya hai... Shashiji is allowing his widow daughter in law to work...in our times... widows never used to step out of their house also..etc... etc..
While listening all this shashi and garima were not able to control their anger, some people still get happiness by troubling and hurting others.
But don't worry babuji... I gave her nice reply... now she will not open her mouth ever.
Hmmm...
Jaa... bhabhi ko sambhal... poor she will be so sad...hearing all this.
Namastey Shashi... kya haal... Shukla said.
Arey shuklaji... Aap... how are you?
Iam fine shashiji... Iam sorry to intrude like this... but I heard everything...
Shashi... don't be sad about people's comments, some mouths we cant stop.. rather we should ignore them.
You are right shukla... any ways any special reason for visit.
Arey haa... I told you na Ajay Raizada's son and his friends have come down and they will be visiting the factory tomorrow, so thought of informing you.
Don't worry they are just visiting now, to see the kind of work you do, real order and review of materials and embroidery will be done later on.
Payal somehow was happy to hear this as this will be a diversion of mind for khushi.
Thats great uncle... we are ready for the visit tell them, will make the necessarily arrangement, saying so she left.
Payal saw khushi crying in her room, arey bhabhi you know she said loudly as of nothing happened, tomorrow the raizada's are visiting our factory.
Khushi heard payal and wiped her tears and this relaxed Payal...
Tomorrow, but payal... how can we make arrangements so soon?
Bhabhi Shukla uncle said, that they will be just visiting the factory to see what kind of work we do later on discuss regarding order.
Ok bhabhi, now what you will be wearing tomorrow tell me bhabhi...
Payal? Since when my attire became important, you know I don't dress up.
Bhabhi but tomorrow is special, we have visitors and they are our guests.
Payal they are coming to visit factory and not to see me... khushi said in a sarcastic tone.
Offooo bhabhi... please atleast wear that green dress its not that dark...
Khushi gave up in front of payal as she dint want to disappoint her, she knew that payal is her life and can go to any extent for her happiness and hence she agreed.
At night Arnav was not able to sleep, he was getting that beautiful image in front of his eyes again and again, and he was totally restless, he knew he had work to do, he has not come to udaipur for this and thought of sleeping since he had to visit Gupta textiles next day according to Shukla uncle.
Will Arnav khushi meet again and what will be his reaction... wait and watch..
