Part- 6
"Remind me for the last time why we are here in the first place?" groaned Abhay.
"Because sir wanted us to." NK said nonchalantly.
"To be the bodyguards of a f*cking rich ass?" Abhay spit out vehemently.
In answer NK only shrugged munching on his chips.
Khushi rolled her eyes exasperated.
When her head was busting with the thought of meeting Arnav in broad day light in most awkward position, Erm! For whom that's yet to decide, of which she had no plan in far future and these two here were busy grumbling over the sub standard job they had got assigned with. Huh!
Well it was Abhay who was whining, Nk just having fun in his expense.
Gosh! If Abhay senses those secret grins NK was passing in her direction, then he was surely going to lose his front row of teeth today.
Anyways it was sir's order or say request and they couldn't turn him down to save their life. Hence, Abhay jumped down the jeep not bothering to take the step down from the back, crossing the side rods with both legs together in a swift movement.
NK stretched on the passenger seat and taking his chips packet climbed down rather relaxed.
Khushi stared at the huge mansion before her with a blank look for few moments.
She dragged out the aviator from the dashboard and wore it. She closed her eyes behind the dark glasses taking a long breathe.
Then descended from the driver seat the Officer in Charge Khushi Caroline Gupta, with an air of woman- on- mission around her and a don't-mess-with-me look writ on her features.
They marched towards the main entrance in sync with powerful and confident steps, Khushi leading the way.
**
The loud doorbell grabbed the attention of all the occupants of dining table, who were toying with their food, lost in their own individual thoughts till now.
**
The news of somebody behind their Chotey and Bhai's life had them shaken to the core was the underestimate of the century.
They were first shocked with the revelation. Then thinking it, one of Arnav's not at all funny jokes, they had glared at him in a manner of warning.
But one look at his face and they knew he wasn't joking.
**
First fear gripped their hearts painfully and then came the feeling of dread and helplessness.
And what else you are suppose to feel when you don't have an iota of knowledge that who the hell your faceless enemy is?
They still shuddered at the thought that how close Arnav was to lose his life.
And every time the horrific thought brought the memory of those good people who were there on time to help their Arnav and others, making them feel immensely grateful to them.
**
They had thought it as an accident and would have kept thinking so if not for Com. Shashi Gupta.
They had indeed thanked their lucky stars for letting them acquainted with someone like Com. Shashi Gupta, who had always looked out for them, though the person through whom he got connected to them in the first place was long gone.
They had only felt a little relieved when they had come to know that Shashi was sending his best team for Arnav's protection.
Though, Dadi and Anjali had been little unsure when they had heard that the team consisted a lady officer, who also in charge of the team.
Is she capable enough to lead a team which is supposed to protect Arnav Singh Raizada? was their primary thought.
On the other hand the boys had looked really impressed and almost excited to meet this invincible lady cop.
Well why wouldn't they?😉 it doesn't need a genius to guess.
**
In the breakfast table Arnav had sensed his family's wariness and hated himself for being the reason, but he had no idea how to appease them in this situation.
Last night his Di was hysteric. Dadi was mute. Jiju was grim and Akash, well he was another story altogether.
He had just gawked at him like if he so much so moved his eyes from him, he might vanish in thin air.
If it would have been some other time, either he would have laughed on his expression or would have smacked his head hard for looking like a fool.
But on that moment he had understood that his brother loved him too much and the thought of him going away had scared the hell out of him.
Hence, he had just patted his back assuring him that he was still with him, fit and fine, and had hoped that it didn't change anytime soon.
His family needed him and he too wanted to live with them.
Well little part of his heart did say that he also wanted to be with Khushi for some more time, maybe for whole life time.
He still smiled at the thought sipping his coffee.
**
"They are here" the relief in Anjali's voice was unmistakable.
Akash too sighed heavily as if he wasn't breathing till that moment.
Dadi's eyes instantly turned to the doorway as she shouted for HP to open the door.
Arnav and Shaym looked at each other mirroring the same amused expression with their family reaction. Grinning they shook their head and stood up from their seats to follow the others, who were already striding towards the main hall and towards the main entrance door, eagerly.
**
"Enough!" Khushi hissed and whirled around to stop both her partners from ripping their limbs apart; well apparently it was NK, who was going to get ripped apart, because finally what Khushi had feared had happened. Abhay had found him grinning when he was glaring at his watch agitated waiting after pressing the door bell.
"What the heck!" NK exclaimed when his chips packet went flying and no, it was not Abhay but Khushi who had snatched and thrown it away, much to Abhay's happiness, it better than no revenge.
One warning glare from Khushi's end and both shut their mouth for good and that's when the door behind them got opened.
**
Abhay saw a house help on the door way over Khushi's shoulder and said in business like tone "We are here for Mr. Raizada."
HP nodded meekly little intimated by the stern look the man gave him, but smiled next second when NK waved his hand in a friendly manner. He asked the frowning to the back of the lady who hadn't turn back yet, "Who are you? You know I need to tell Arnav baba."
"It's okay HP. Let them in. We have been expecting them." spoke Akash who had already reached near the door with his long limbs. But as soon he saw the people standing on the door before him his jaw dropped.
"Abhay", he whispered disbelievingly.
In response Abhay only jerked his head which could be considered as anything- a greeting or acknowledgement of his recognition, and that's when Khushi decided to turn after giving a final look to NK who was still eyeing Abhay.
**
Anjali helped Dadi till the door and Shaym stood by their side, Arnav was yet to reach, stuck in a call he was left behind.
They saw the two good looking men in their casuals, one's had no expression on his face when the other wore a boyish look and smiled brightly as soon he saw them, and they liked him instantly.
They saw the back of the lady officer in light blue fitted shirt and dark blue jeans. The full sleeves rolled up till her elbows.
Her long thick pony tail hanging below her shoulder, which dangled a little as she said something to the smiling man, which instantly changed his bright smile to a sheepish grin and he scratched the back of his neck, looking like deer caught in the headlights.
The lady was tall and slim, well better than slim, and somehow they felt that she had a good face also. They wanted her to turn and as if hearing their wish she turned on her heels a full 180 degree, but before they could have a good look of the lady, they heard an unmistakable loud whisper near them.
"What the f...!!"
