Why do I keep getting those feelings which are nothing to him ?
I shut my eyes and once again decided not to fall for him . And this time I am quite sure I won't .
I changed into my night suit and laid on the bed . Slowly slumber took over me .
*********NEXT DAY
I wore my favourite churidar and braided my hair . I packed my bag and locked the main door . I rushed to the road and I am waiting for an auto .
Finally an auto came . I got into it . He dropped me near a bus stop . Now I will have to wait for a bus .
I saw Arnav's car . He is probably driving to office . Oh no ! I'm late today !!
What ? Why he is coming back ? His car stopped exactly in front of me .
My phone ringed . He is calling me . I answered the call .
Arnav : Ghadi mein beto . [ Sit in the car ]
Khushi : It's ok . I will come by bus .
Arnav : Get into the car .
His voice is stern .
Khushi : No . How can I ?
Arnav : I have some important work in office and I don't want you to be late . Got it ? .
I could see his eyes are filled with rage . I have no courage to face his wrath . So I have to step inside the car .
I opened the door and got in . I am a bit scared . His expressions are a bit serious .
Arnav : Don't be so scared Khushi . I'm not gonna eat you .
He said looking straight at the road .
I gulped down my fear . How does he know how I feel in each and every moment ? Does he have a app which can read minds ?
I hope this journey ends soon . I'm in no mood to travel with him .. Don't know where he will stop the car and irritate me .
He parked the car in the lot and I got down instantly .
I am walking really fast so that he doesn't catch me up alone .
I felt someone beside me . I turned to see with a doubt in my heart . For sure it's Arnav .
Yes he is just beside me . Walking along with me .
Arnav : I've told you before . You can't run away from me .
Idiot . Why does he irritate me like this ?
I started to walk slow as I know he is really fast . And he can't walk as slow as I can .
He first entered inside the office . Then I stepped inside .
Everything is back to normal now . I have to forget all that has happened yesterday .
I engrossed myself with the work . And back to back meetings are held .
I don't know how Arnav handles all this ! I must say he is really talented .
But I somewhere can see Arnav behind this so called ASR mask . I know Arnav inside him is dead but few characteristics of Arnav are still alive in him . Love , Concern and good heart but he tries his level best to bury them and maintain his so called ASR tag .
At least those three applies to his own ones .
In the lunch time Aman sat with me as usual .
Aman : How was your night yesterday . The party , the ... the... the ...
Khushi : What are you hinting at ?
Aman : Me ? What ? Um. No I'm just asking .. Like just .. Um .. just casually .. Like spending half the night with your love .
Khushi : What love ?
Aman : What ? Your love . I mean Arnav . You love Arnav right ?
Khushi : Who told you that ? Did I ? He is not my love and will never be ! Do you think I will keep thinking about Arnav all these years ? Never . And last night is one of the worst night in my life . I really ..
Aman interrupted me
Aman : No stop stop .. What are you saying ? Don't say that . I mean I can see .. What are you saying ? You don't have any feelings for Arnav ? Don't tell me yaar ! We all know how much you love him .
Khushi : Offo Aman ! What happened to you ? Do you think love at that age will be true ? No ! I mean lets take your case . You yourself told Ramya is no more a part of your life ! She was just your crush . And so was Arnav to me .
Aman : So you don't feel for Arnav ?
Khushi : No . He is my boss and I'm his employee . And tell him the same . Doesn't know what he thinks ? He says we don't share only that relation .
Aman : Yeah . I will . I don't think you both share anything more than that . You are right .
Our lunch is over and we got back to work . And today I'm gonna receive my salary . 1 month is over .
I worked for a month ! That is unbelievable .. And my office rocks .. I thought people wouldn't be friendly as they are modern and I'm traditional . But they welcomed me . They comforted me .
Are office is over now . And I bid a quick bye to my colleagues . I took an auto and reached the bus stop and from there to house .
Amma and bua ji will be coming tomorrow . So I've to be all alone again .
I opened the door of my house . I entered the house .
I had a quick beauty bath and coast on the couch with a bowl of fruits . I received a message from the bank regarding my salary .
I got my first salary , 50.000/- . I am happy finally I can contribute something to my family . I called Amma and informed this . She is happy too .
I checked a few files , had my dinner and dozed off to sleep .
*********NEXT DAY
My daily routine began . I reached my office before Arnav and checked all the files . Today my assistant will be joining . Lavanya Kashyap . My new assistant .
I saw her coming in her frock and every one were ogling over her . Smiled seeing there faces . She surely had that charm in her . She is very attractive . Any boy would fall flat for her .
She came stood before me . She is nervous . I have to comfort her
Khushi : Hi Lavanya ! How are you ?
Lavanya : Hello ma'am .. I mean good morning ma'am . I'm so sorry ma'am I'm late .
Khushi : Offo Lavanya stop calling me ma'am . Call me Khushi . Ok and we are friends from now . Got it ?
Lavanya : Yes .
Just then Arnav entered the office and everyone are standing up to wish him . As usual he didn't respond to them .
Lavanya & Khushi : Good morning sir .
He stopped and looked at me with full anger . Oh no I called him sir again .
Arnav : Who is she ?
Khushi : My new assistant , Lavanya Kashyap .
Arnav : Where's her appointment letter ?
Khushi : One minute sir .
I turned back and again turned towards him in shock . Again sir ! I'm sure to be punished ..
I went to my cabin and got her letter . When I came out I saw him in his cabin .
I went upstairs . I knocked the door .
Arnav : Come in .
I gave him the letter and he signed it .
Arnav : When do I have the meeting with the Malhotra's ?
Khushi : After one hour . They must be reaching . I made all the arrangements with the help of Aman .
He nodded his head . I went back to m cabin and assisted some work to Lavanya . She is really hard working .
After the meeting with the Malhotra's Arnav asked me to send Lavanya to his cabin . I sent her .
I am really busy for the fashion week . All the staff is working really hard . We want to give out best and again make AR win over the other fashion houses .
********AFTER 2 WEEKS
Now it's the time for the fashion week . Lavanya and me are checking the materials . Designers are working with the models , Aman is guiding everyone .
All our models are wonderful and we got a very good response and its the time for results .
And once again AR won . We all were filled with joy when La came to me with more happiness on her face .
Lavanya : You know what Khush ?
Khushi : How would I know ?
Lavanya : I am in relation with ASR !!! He proposed me ! Can you imagine ?
Saying this she hugged me . I am happy . I am happy for my friend . I am happy for Arnav . He finally got someone in his life .
But should I feel like this if I ever loved him ? Shouldn't I react same like I reacted when I got to know about Swathi ?
Why am I so happy ? I hugged her back . We broke our hug .
Khushi : I am so happy for you La . You finally got someone into your life .
She was studying my expression ..
Khushi : What happened ?
Lavanya : You know ASR right !! Is he right for me ?
Khushi : Absolutely ! He in fact likes your type girls .
Lavanya : Oh thank you Khushi ! I thought he is not right ! But since you said he must be .
I smiled .
After the show , I took a bus . I kept my hand on the windowsill and bent a little to make my
Face flushed with breeze .
I am happy . Happy for them . A small smile crept my face . This proves that I don't love him . He is just my deep infatuation or some deep crush . That's it . Not love .
I reached home and had a bath . I wore my night suit and turned on the air conditioner . I called jiji and told her everything .
She is happier than me . Finally, I'm out of his love web . Even I called Ramya and told her everything .
She is happy than all of us . She arranged an get together this sunday with my other two friends , Anusha and Usha .
I won't blame them for hating Arnav . Of course why wouldn't they ? Their most loved person dreams about a future with someone who doesn't even bother her presence .She spent her day and night hoping that this person looks at her lovingly and talk to her .Though she decided to bury all her feelings about him she only keeps on thinking about him .
They didn't want me to fall into his trap . Now I'm out of it . Today it's proved that I never loved anyone . It's just my deep infatuation .
*********Sunday
Finally the day has come when I'll meet my friends after months . I wore a very simple saree which babuji bought for me . I left my hair open and headed to the cafe .
I hugged Ramya and the other two . We sat down and placed our order . Now we started to talk about our lives .
Anusha and Usha are shocked to know that I'm working under Arnav . We talked and talked until I saw Arman ji , my ex-fianc entering the cafe .
Khushi : Girls , Arman ji is here . We have to go .
I got up . Ramya , Anusha and Usha commanded me to follow them . Ramya paid and I followed them .
We are about to enter the parking lot when I heard his voice .
Arman : Khushi stop . Pls . Stop .
We all stopped . I'm scared . What will this guy do now ?
I have to turn now . I think so . My friends turned back . I questioned them by raising my eyebrows . They nodded . So I turned towards him .
Arman : Khushi I have to talk to you .
I nodded a no .
Ramya : Yes . She will .
I turned back to her . And she nodded a yes . I nodded a yes to him .
He took me to his car . I texted Ramya :
Raam , I'll call you now . Listen to our conversation .. K ??
I am waiting for her reply .I'm scared . I don't want him to take advantage of me . Now he means nothing to me .
Ok , Khush
I dialled her .
He is not talking . He is taking me somewhere .
He stopped in front of a park . I got down and so did he .
I am going to the lake in the park . He is following me .
Arman : Khushi I love you .
I am surprised I didn't expect him to say something like this . He took my hand in his .
Arman : I am really sorry for what I did on that day . I really couldn't digest the fact that you rejected me . I was really possessive and obsessive . But I now I realised that I love you . I love you pls forgive me .
He dropped down on his knees placing his head on my hands . What is he saying ?
My mobile beeped. Arnav is calling me . But I have to reject as I want my friends to listen our conversation .
Khushi : Arman ji , pls aap utt jaiye . Sab dekh raha hai. [ Arman ji , Please get up . Everyone's seeing us . ]
Drops of tears are shedding from my eyes . Again Arnav is calling me and I rejected .
He got up .
Arman : Will you marry me Khushi ?
I am shocked. Marriage ? With him ? Never .
Khushi : What is all this ? How can I even think of you when you never respected my feelings ? This is not gonna happen . Bye .
Then I turned around to leave the place .
Arman : I'll wait . I'll wait for my entire life . Because I realised that you are the one for me and no one can fulfil your place in my heart . I love you forever .
I am just looking at him blankly . I am confused where my life is heading . I again turned and left the place .
Khushi : You girls heard our conversation ?
Ramya : Yeah .
Khushi : Where are you ? I'll come there .
Ramya : No we are outside the park only . We were following you both .
Khushi : Ok I'll come .
Ramya's car halted in front of me . I got into the car .
Ramya : Whenever I think your life is going on the right track something like this happens that I have to change my way of thinking .
I started to cry . Usha who is sitting beside me is trying her level best to convince me . And so is Anusha .
I turned towards the window . Arnav is standing beside his car and staring me with all his rage in his eyes .
Ramya : Who was calling you so many times ?
Khushi : Arnav ..
