ARSHI FF: Raizada's Wife Thread 2 *Completed!!*

As soon as Arnav said that, everybody fell silent. Smirking
to herself, Anjali broke the silence "Chotte, what will Khushi be doing there?"

"Di, I'm going for a meeting, so obviously she will be
handling my schedule and meetings there" Arnav blurted whatever came to his
mind.

"But Arnav, Khushi is getting married soon and she has never
gone anywhere without us" a concerned Aman said. Before Arnav could reply, Aman
offered a solution. "Arnav, what if instead of Khushi, I go with you to
Kashmir?"

"No! Um I mean, no Aman, you should stay here and take care
of the office while I'm gone" he spoke slowly, grinning to himself.

"That's true.." Aman thought to himself. But why does he
need to bring Khushi?

"So it's settled! Khushi will be coming with me to Kashmir
in 2 days" Arnav told everyone and left for his room.

There was a long pause before anyone spoke. "Uh so I guess
Khushi bitiya will be going with him to Kashmir then" Nani said worriedly.

"Hello hi bye bye, yeh Arnav bitwa ko ka hua hai? Suddenly
Kashmir ka pilan? Aur vo bhi Khushi ke saath?" a curious Manorama questioned.

Anjali was grinning to herself as she got the exact reaction
that she wanted out of her Chote. Typical Arnav, always thinking with his brain
but for once today he made a decision with his heart. But she didn't get the
reaction she wanted from Khushi. She also looked very lost as soon as she
started working at AR. Perhaps it was time to have a heart to heart with
Khushi.

"Di!" NK exclaimed, bringing Anjali out of her thoughts. "Our
plan seems to be working! Nannav is taking Khushiji to Kashmir!"

"Yea NK Bhai! And thank you so much for your support this
far I know it wasn't easy for you to act like you were in love with Khushi"
Anjali whispered

"It's no problem Di! Anything for you and Nannav" NK smiled.
"But Di, Khushiji still thinks that we are getting married and that I love her!
How will we fix that?!"

"Don't worry NK Bhai, I will talk to her and hopefully she
realizes that Chote is starting to feel for her too!" Anjali replied. NK nodded
in agreement.

"So what do we do now Naniji?" a confused Garima asked.

"Pata nahi bitiya, I guess we will have to wait till Chote
and Khushi bitiya come back from Kashmir then we will decide" Nani concluded.

"Okay Naniji" Garima agreed.

Yes, I have successfully managed to stall the preparations
for the wedding for the time being but I will have to do something more to stop
the marriage totally' Arnav thought to himself, pacing up and down the
poolside. Suddenly he stopped pacing and stood absolutely still. What is
happening to me? Why do I act all possessive even at the thought of Khushi
being married to someone else? Why is Khushi constantly on my mind ever since
the day she confessed her feelings for me? What is that weird feeling inside me
that acts up whenever I see Khushi or hell even think about her?

Unable to understand what was going on, he sat down on one
of the ornate chairs at the side. He closed his eyes and relaxed.

"Chote?" Anjali called as she came into Arnav's room.

Opening his eyes, he quickly got up and gestured to Anjali
that he was outside.

"Hmm so you are here" she said, slowly sitting down on the
chair opposite to Arnav's. "So you're going to Kashmir with Khushi huh?" Anjali
started.

"Yeah" Arnav muttered, fiddling with his thumbs. Unable to
keep his curiosity in, Arnav blurted "Di, how did you know that jiju was the
one?"

Laughing lightly, Anjali answered "Its simple Chote. I love
him and if he is not around, I get all worried about him but when he is with me
I feel like I have all the happiness in the world"

"Is it really that simple?" Arnav questioned

"Yes Chote. It is. You'll see, one day, when you fall in
love, you won't be able to stop thinking about her, your heartbeat will
increase whenever you're around her and if she for whatever reason can't be
yours, you'll do anything in your means to make the situation such that she
will be yours" Anjali explained, hoping that Arnav got the hint.

"Anjali bitiya!" Nani hollered from the living room
downstairs.

"Okay Chote, I need to go now. Just keep in mind that love
is simple and it's not in our control who we fall in love with coz pyaar to bas
ho jata hai" she winked and walked out of his room.

Anjali's words kept playing in Arnav's head.

It's not in our
control who we love coz pyaar to bas ho jata hai

Meanwhile Khushi stayed cooped up in her room, gazing up at

the stars.

"Amma bauji, am I doing the right thing by agreeing to get
married to Nanheji?" Khushi questioned, her voice full with emotions. "I really
miss you both a lot amma bauji, I wish you were here" she said softly, a tear
dropping down her cheeks.

"Woof woof" Jalebi barked, running to Khushi and sitting on
her lap.

"Hey Jalebi" she called, rubbing Jalebi's belly. Jalebi then
licked Khushi's face continuously. "Enough Jalebi! You're covering me with your
saliva" she said laughingly.

"You see those two stars right there Jalebi?" Khushi said,
pointing at the two bright stars in the sky "The one on the left is amma and
the one right next to her is bauji. I really miss them but I am also glad that
I have bhai, jiji, buaji, amma and bauji here too" she sighed.

Suddenly the sound of her phone's ringtone filled the air.
Khushi got down from the window sill and went to grab her phone. Thinking that
it must be one of her friends, because no one other than her friends and family
call her, she answered the call without looking at who was calling her.

"Hello?" Khushi greeted.

"Hi" a deep male voice greeted back.

"Um who is this?" she asked.

"It's Arnav" Arnav supplied.

Her eyes widened at the mention of his name. Why was he
calling me?' she wondered. "Oh" was all she said.

"Uh I just wanted to tell you that I have a business meeting
in Kashmir in two days' time" he slowly spoke.

Unsure as what to say at that Khushi asked "Okay so what
does that have to do with me?" <

"You will be coming with me" Arnav said slowly.

"WHAT?" Khushi exclaimed. "You want me to come with you? But
why?! No no I won't come"

"What the- I don't care what you say Khushi Kumari Gupta,
you are coming with me and its final!" Arnav barked. "You are my assistant and
you will do as I say got it?"

"No! I will not come with you and you can't force me to come
either so goodbye!" Khushi finished and ended the conversation. Her heart rate
increased alarmingly after she ended the call. She clutched her dupatta tightly
and put her hand over her thumping heart. Hey Devi Maiyya! What is happening
with me?'

"What the- How dare she end the call like that!" Arnav
exclaimed furiously. Dialing her number again, he waited for her to pick up the
call and to his surprise she did answer.

"Hello" came the annoyed greeting.

"How dare you hang up on me Khushi Kumari Gupta! Who do you
think you are huh? Anyways I know that you will be coming with me in the end"
Arnav said slyly.

"No I will not come at any cost!" Khushi insisted.

"Oh believe me you will. Your family knows about it already
and they have agreed to let you come with me for this trip so I will see you in
the office tomorrow to discuss the further details of our trip. Goodnight Ms
Gupta" Arnav ended. He knew that this was not the right way to ask Khushi to
come with him but he had no other choice, if he couldn't get her to come with
him as Arnav, he had to become ASR to win her over.

"Time to plan the trip to Kashmir" Arnav muttered to
himself. "I'll make sure that you never forget this trip Khushi, never"
