BE MY VALENTINE?
"Life is soo hectic!... valentines day ought to be declared a world holiday.. of all things wasn't love the most important thing in the world?!"
"Even if it was.. you would most probably still be working.. you belong to the event management world khushi.. you are supposed to work when all others are free for parties and weddings!" La pointed out.
"Gosh you are right !"
"Let me call the caterers.. they have to be informed of this ... the vip guest is diabetic! And there should be a few additional items that cater to his needs. Of all people to call for a valentines day party! A diabetic businessman who is single, the topping being he does not believe in love and hence finds red roses irritating! Roy also warned that he has a temper to behold ! how symbolic!"
"But then why is he being the vip guest? Why not anybody else?" Piya was surprised.
Khushi shrugged and explained "when I asked roy why on earth we were calling him for a valentines day party!, he said he was the guy who was funding for our projects this year and his secretary had called informing he would be attending. So it was only natural that he is the VIP guest!"
"Hold it! Lavanya! What are you doing?"
"Khushi.. iam getting ready! Its valentines day.. I have a date."
"Khushi I ve gotto go too..i promised varun I d go". Piya piped in apologetically
"Piya eee?! You too!... I'll be all alone!" She thought of the empty room and shivered... "I already feel scared!"
"Sorry khushi... it is a couple based party..you have to have a partner if you want to come.." lavanya wasn't very understanding when it came to khushis single status." Khushi you are a museum piece.. I mean what type of girl doesent have a boyfriend until the age of 23? Only behenjis"
Piya felt sad looking at her dejected face. Lavanya looked at her and rolled her eyes.
"Listen I'll leave you an invite and ask one of mikes friends to pick you up if you want..."
"NO!!" both khushi and piya said together.. mikes friends weren't any good, the empty apartment was a better option.
"Khushi we might end up coming at the same time since you have to be present at your party until the finish.. and maybe u'll get lucky and find the guy you dream of" piya tried cheering khushi.."look I'd have stayed if I didn't have to pacify varun.. he is kind of upset at me for missing the last date.."
"Its ok I know u would have stayed if you could help it...even last time u had to miss it bcoz of me..as for finding somebody here i think everybody will be in doubles except for ofcourse the single, love is nonsense' vip guest. Patha nahi kaunsa Budda hoga.." khushi took in a deep breath and declared "I'll be fine! Both of you look after yourselves and don't be too late!"
Then she left off to call and ask about the party dcor and stuff.. she was in charge and she wanted everything perfect!
Mr. Sagad doy (it was sagar roy, but the man pronounced r' as d' )(plz read the upcoming Ds as R) was a short, polite and peaceful person. Khushi always pictured him with the halo over his head. Minus the wings. But today, the man was as agitated as he could be.
"it is AS'aaD' who is aDDiving. How can you be so calm and patient?!" the man asked khushi when she inquired what the hurry was.
"as'aD'?"
"ADnav singh Daizada"
As khushi looked at him expecting more information, the man gave her a look of disbelief.
"You don't know the Daizadaaz?, who fund almost all pDojects?"
"umm.. no I mean.. I am new here in delhi remember?"
"okay.. they aad the most influential family heDe in delhi.. ouD main sponsoD is mrs. Daizaada and mrs. Jha who is as'aaD's sisted maDDied to misteD jha."
"okaay" khushi added it to her list of possibly important info at the back of her head.
"let us go check once again" mr. roy almost ran to the dancefloor. Khushi smiled watching the dance floor. This was why she loved her work. The dance floor looked magical with the ocean theme. Everything on the floor and the tables were related to the ocean. Shells and beautiful exotic blue flowers only added to the look. The tiny candles were all lighted in medium sized shells which gave enough light yet enough privacy.
Khushi moved in to greet and guide the guests. Most of the guests were businessmen, yet there were a few elderly couples who looked cute. When she saw narayani, the woman who had requested her help for this event, khushi was a little tensed. The work had been rushed through due to lack of time, as khushi was only approached when the former event planner had dropped out, but narayani had used all available resources and bend a few dozen rules to get khushi all that she needed. Narayani had not been able to visit the site for inspection on account of being too buzy and so khushi was a little apprehensive of her reaction.
"khushi darling! You did it!"
There relax khushi.. khushi gave herself a mental pat on the back.
Khushi, Please meet mr. raizada" khushi swallowed a giggle remembering mr. roys daizaada'
But as she turned to meet him, she tripped on some invisible rug right into the hands of THE D'aizaada.
And this is how it ALL began.
Khushi found herself getting pulled into eyes that resembled pools of molten chocolate. And little flecks of black in them for which if khushi was anywhere near her normal senses would have compared to choco chip cookies! But khushi was lost. She couldn't help but stare into them until a slight giggle and few clearing of throats were heard breaking her trance.
"Well.. arnav, somebody looks lost!"
The voice brought both of them back to the moment.
Khushi forced herself to look away from those captivating eyes and turned to the beautiful smiling lady on his right. She noted that the chocalatey pair of eyes did not shift from her and she could feel those eyes checking her out then.
"I am so sorry, i think i tri.."
before khushi could finish, harsh words cut in,
"you should be"
excuse me?
"you are excused"
and khushi could only watch with her 'HAW' as the man walked past her as if she was some piece of furniture.
