He is not even responding ! Did he go to sleep ? I will check by myself .
My foot is trembling as I took a step towards his room . My heart was beating rapid and my breathing is becoming hard . Don't know why I feel not to enter his room . But I have to .
But is there any need to ? I can go away without informing him . But he will call me and start his questioning session . Instead of facing that it is better I go and inform him forehand .
I reached his room . The door is closed . I placed my hand on the door to knock it but it opened a little by itself . I opened the door completely with my two hands . It's dark inside . I guess there is a pool there . Those reflections are the only source is light in there .
Khushi : Sir ..
I Took a step inside . Someone grabbed my hand and pinned it on my back . Who else that could be ? Arnav Singh Raizada .
He pulled me towards himself crashing his front with mine . When he did that , fairy lights decorated to the right side shone as bright as the stars up there in the sky witnessing our close proximity .
I struggled to release myself though I know it's impossible .
Arnav : Why do you struggle so much ? You very well know that it's impossible for you to get rid of my grip . I'm stronger than you Khushi . Maybe 10 times ?
But will I stop ? Never .. I am still struggling .
He opened my hair clip and threw it somewhere .
Arnav : Why the hell do you always do things which are against my wish ?
Khushi : Leave me .
Arnav : Firstly I told you not to call me SIR , secondly I told you to leave your hair open and now I told you not to struggle when I catch you .
He said in a husky voice .
We both looked into each others eyes .
Arnav : Khushi I really don't know what made you hate me so much . Or may be I know why you hate me . It is because of what I did with you but believe me , I never intended to hurt you . I always wanted your happiness because you are really pure . You deserve all the happiness of the world .
He is sounding serious now .
An alone tear rolled along my cheek . I closed my eyes . Why does he always speak in riddles ? I never understood his feelings . Nor I am understanding his talks now .
Arnav : Khushi I'm gonna tell you something now which will change our lives forever .
I again met my eyes with his . He is serious and his eyes are moist too .
Arnav : Khushi main .. Tumse. I .. I .. Main .. Main ..
He closed his eyes still holding me the same way taking a deep breath .
Arnav : Khushi main tumse bahot ..
Khushi : Kya Arnav ?
I asked him showcasing all the irritation I have in my voice .
Khushi : Just leave me . I don't want to be with you .
He left my hand slowly . He is hurt . He is truly hurt . But will this stop my anger ?
Khushi : What do you think of yourself ? You can do anything you want at any time ? Don't you even bother of others feelings ? You talk in riddles which I can never understand . It's better if we both don't talk to each other and stay away . I've told you the same many times but do you care ? No because you are the so called ASR . It's enough .
I am going , bye .
I turned to the other side and started to run .
Arnav : Khushi stop . I'll drop you . Wait .
He started to chase me . He caught my hand .
Arnav : Khushi I promised your family that I will drop you home safe and sound . I at least don't want to break my promise.
I nodded and he left my hand . We both got down the stairs .
I got into the car . Again it is full of silence .
We reached home . I got down thanking him . He is dull . His face very pale as if he lost something precious .
I went inside .
Amma : You completed everything ?
Khushi : No Amma .
Amma : He is such a sweet guy na . He seems to be a very intelligent guy .
Khushi : Why do you praise him so much ?
Amma : He deserves it !!
Khushi : No he doesn't .
I gulped down some water .
Amma : Why do you hate him so much ?
Khushi : Do you even know about him ?
Amma : Of course ,. You both were in same school , same class and same section once . You both sat together for months !
Khushi : That's all you know !!
We both are just having a casual talk about him .
Bua ji : I hope she behaves well with him .
Khushi : Bua ji !!
I went and sat beside her and hugged her by shoulders .
Bua ji : aye Sanka devi He is doing so much for you and you will never acknowledge it .
Khushi : What did he do for me ?
Bua ji isn't saying anything . She is dumb folded ,
Amma : umm .. voh .. He is giving you a salary which a PA can never afford for a day !! Just check your bank balance !!! Your salary is 2.5 Lakh !!
Khushi : What ?? No it's 50 thousand only !!!
Amma : Just check your bank balance darling .
What is going on ? why is he paying 2 lakhs extra !!! This is not going right .
I called him immediately .
Khushi : Why did you increase my salary ?
I asked in a angry tone .
Arnav : There is a way of talking to someone Khushi .
He said in a very cool way . How can he be so cool when my blood is boiling in anger ,
Khushi : I don't know how to talk .
Arnav : I know it's only with me .
He said in a teasing way . How dare he tease me ?
Khushi : Dekhiye. Hum aapse kuch poocha .. Aap uski jawab dijiye .
[ See . I've asked you something . Answer it . ]
Arnav : Ek minute , bachpan mein tho tum mujhe TUM TUM karke pukaarthi thi .. Ab achanak kya ho gaya ki tum mujhe AAP karke pukar rahi ho ? [ One minute . In our childhood you used to address me as tum . But what happened suddenly that now you are addressing me as AAP . ]
I thought he must be knowing it . I don't want to call him tum as I know he is nothing to me . He will be. Nothing to me . I don't want to feel again that he is mine . NEVER .
Khushi : Don't divert the topic .
Arnav : How can you manage your family with just 50 thousand ? It won't even help you in anyway . I wanted to give you more . But I know you won't accept it . So I just increased it to 2 lakhs . Simple . Now answer me .
Khushi : Do you think I will accept those extra 2 lakhs from you never !! I am gonna return it tomorrow .
Arnav : I think you didn't read the contract paper which you signed .
Khushi : Contract paper ?
I don't even know that I signed a contract paper !!
Arnav : Oh so Aman cheated you !! Maybe he gave it along a file and you signed it .
Yes I got it . Aman did the same . He said he need signatures of the employees . So he is starting with me . I didn't read it as I believed him . But how can he do this ?
Arnav : According to the contract . You should never ever dare to decline anything which I give you . ANYTHING . It's better I mail you the copy . It's a very long one .
I cut the call before he continues ..
Contract ?? What is happening to my life ?? What is he doing with me ? Everything is like a puzzle .
And those words which he said in his room , this will change our live forever , main tumse bahot, I never intended to hurt you . You deserve all the happiness of the world
What does that mean ??? Does he feel the same I feel for him ? He loves me ?
No , why would he ? He is in relation with Swathi .
What is going on ?
I opened my email account . I saw a message from arnavsinghraizada@gmail.com . I clicked the message to open .
It read :
I Ms. Khushi Kumari Gupta D/O late Mr.Shashidhar Gupta accept to the terms and conditions laid by Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada S/O Mr. Shashank Singh Raizada .
I skipped all that .. Who cares to know other than those conditions ?
1 . I will accept whatever Mr.Raizada gifts me with .
2. I will never decline Mr. Raizada's wish on me . He has all the rights to take decisions of my life .
3. I will work in the AR groups in any post until Mr.Raizada declines me to do so .
4. I will take part in any party , programme or meeting held by Mr . Raizada .
5. I am ready to go wherever and whenever Mr . Raizada wills to take me .
6. I will attend all the personal family meetings of Mr. Raizada .
7. Mr . Raizada has full rights to visit my place whenever he wants . I myself have no rights to stop him .
8. I accept to fulfil all the needs of Mr. Raizada no matter what it is .
9. I will play any role in any mode of Mr. Raizada's life i.e., a friend , a lover , a wife . It only depends on Mr. Raizada to chose over the role .
10. I am ready to leave my life in Mr. Raizada's hand .
If I fail to fulfil any of the above terms I am ready to do whatever Mr . Raizada asks me to .
What is all this ? And I signed such a rubbish paper ? Anyways none of the above terms seems to be serious . May be he is just fooling me .
********* NEXT DAY
Today I will receive my salary for the second month . Don't know what shock I will get today .
Aman : Hey Khush kya hogaya Tumhe ? Mood off hai kya ? [ Hey Khush what happened to you ? Is your mood off ? ]
Khushi : What is your friend up to ? I think he should consult a psychiatrist !
Aman : Khush !!!
**
I received 3 lakhs now !!! But I didnt call him . I am not in a mood to fight .
*********NEXT WEEK
It is the big day today . It is Arnav's birthday today . I wore a very simple purple and black saree . I styled my hair into soft lose curls and added a lot of volume to my hair . Now all that is left is to make my face ready .
I already applied an oil free moisturiser and curled my lashes .
I am applying kohl along with some mascara followed by my lip balm . I don't know why these days I'm into beauty things . But I'm very far from makeup . I only love to apply some mascara .
Now all I have to do is select one wallet .
I opened my newly bought accessory cupboard . There are 5 rows in the cupboard . 1st row is full of bags . 2nd is full of wallets . 3rd is full of bangles . 4th is of earrings . 5th consists of rings , and artificial jewellery .
Amma : Black one will suit your saree . And put on that new pair of black sandals .
I hugged her and thanked for her wonderful suggestion ..
I waved them a bye .
*********RAIZADA MANSION
All the decorations are done . The house is just looking perfect from outside . I have to check the inside part .
I made my way to the entrance . The door is open so I stepped inside .
All the arrangements are done . It is decorated the same way as I wanted .
I saw Arnav coming down in a simple dress . Not in his suit or in his common colours .
He dressed up like Arnav . I smiled . He too smiled .
Khushi : Happy Birthday Arnav .
I then took out a small gift I bought for him . A watch .
He opened it .
Arnav : wrist Watch ? But why ?
Khushi : Haan . Aap apne kaam mein Itni busy hai ki aapko ghar ki yaad aata hi nahi . Par ab se yeh Ghadi aapko yaad dilaayega ki aapke saath aise log bhi hai jo aapka intazaar kar rahe hai . [ Yes . You are so busy in your work that you don't even remember your family . But from now this watch will remind you that there are some people waiting for you ]
We both stared in each others eyes with happiness flushing our face . I felt a soft tune playing in the background which made my heart elated .
The beep sound of my mobile made us come back to this world . I don't know why whenever I look into his eyes I will always lose myself .
