chapter 2a
Arnav looked up sheepishly , he never allowed anyone to swear let alone raise their voice to the women in his life and here he was just having hit his best friend with a torrent of abuse that even he wasn't aware was so broad .
"SSorry" Arnav mumbled.
"Apology accepted do you want the good news or bad first ?"
Arnav just slumped into his chair "their is more ?"
"Look don't get mad , you need some Khushi Time "
"Khushi if you are suggesting Khushi time things must be pretty grim how bad ?"
"Bad but solvable"
"Look we are going to have to be smart and as cunning in our plans as Nani is to get you out of this mess . I think Di is on our side , so is Akash . You are going to have to let her win a couple of rounds OK as long as we win the war "
"Khushi how many invites did she send out ?"
"10 or 20" Arnav stared at her , boring holes into her soul . "Your lying I can tell , How many invites ?"
"maybe a couple more "
"Phew - I can see honesty in your eyes "
Khushi muttered the word softly "hundred "
Arnavs razor sharp ears heard he grabbed her by her arms and shook her like a rag doll.
"Arnav please your hurting me "
Her pleading voice seem to penetrate through the red fog of anger .
"I am really really sorry , please sit down "
"has she really sent two hundred invites out "
Khushi nodded silently .
"what are we going to do ?
"If i don't turn up she will be a laughing stock and i can't have that ,but i can't get married to some one i don't know and I am not in love with Lavanya she is good fun and provides me with companion ship ..."
"ARNAV too much information. We need to get out of here grab an ice cream at the zoo and think and formulate a plan "
"The zoo ?? is that the only place you can think off . "
"Thats where best laid plans of mice and men are formulated lets go -your paying !"
"Where you are concerned in all you mad schemes don't I always ?"
"No , i paid for the last ..."
"Yes , I'm waiting ..the last "
"Shutup Arnav , you can pay for the zoo tickets and I'll pay for the icecream "
"Right so something I can't eat you will pay for ?"
"Arnav stop annoying me you asked for MY help not the other way round and I 'll buy you a coffee and anyway I'm waiting for my results so i can't apply for a job soon as I have a job I'll pay for both the zoo tickets and coffee. "
"No way -you are getting off that lightly your going to have to take me somewhere special and pay for the whole dinner -my style not your tehla wala golguppai dimner "
"Come on lets go cancel your days meetings and lets go formulate a winning plan to save Mr Raizada""
