CHAPTER 6. THE AFTERMATH OF LEG ATTACK!
DAY 3 OF THE TRAINING.
Aakash took a sharp breath and gulped. Has anybody seen a hungry lion? Aakash wondered. Take a look at my brother! He winced as Arnav growled again while pacing the study room. And today he is going to chew someone into pieces and why do I get the feeling that Khushi is going to be that person? He flinched as Arnav let out another angry growl.
"Hua kya hai Chote ko?", Anjali whispered by his side.
Aakash shrugged.
"Humein lagta hai he hasn't slept properly.", Anjali continued, "Look at his eyes. Kitne laal hain! He hasn't slept at all it seems!"
"It seems so! No wonder he is growling and more agitated than usual!", Aakash whispered back, "I wonder what got him so spooked out that he could not sleep?"
Now it was Anjali's turn to shrug.
They continued to watch as Arnav pacing growling and grumbling. About what? They had no idea. Right as the clock struck 8, Khushi entered the room in hurried pace. Her eyes were red too but Aakash and Anjali knew her reason. She had complained to Anjali late last night that Arnav was making her read Pride & Prejudice in one sitting. Anjali had already informed Aakash about this new assignment and they both pitied Khushi for facing Arnav's wrath.
Arnav looked up as soon as Khushi entered but looked away as the image of her in the bathtub flashed through his mind. Arnav had never been as much annoyed as he was now with Khushi. Yesterday, whenever he had free time Khushi's legs assaulted his mind making him very angry at himself. Luckily, he was able to throw himself into work and was able to forget Khushi for a while. But once he was in his bed, the legs assaulted him making him unable to sleep. Hence, it was a sleep deprived Arnav Singh Raizada who was glaring at an almost half asleep Khushi. Khushi just looked at him blearily and then ignored his expression promptly. She was so used to his rude and angry attitude that his glaring left no effect on her. She simply yawned and waited for his instructions.
"Today you will practice walking on heels!", Arnav announcing barely suppressing his anger. It would do him no good being angry at the girl, he surmised when it was his fault he walked into her room without knocking. He promised himself that he will ever enter anyone's room without knocking; especially Khushi's. God knows what he will see next! His fist clenched as his brain tried to remind of her long legs. Yes! It was his stupidity to go barging in that crazy girl's room. And he paid for it by staying sleepless the whole night. Arnav pushed all the images of Khushi's legs into a room in his brain and locked it up tightly; he did not want to think about her legs anymore. Pushing his indecent thoughts away, Arnav turned his focus on Khushi's training.
Khushi perked up at Arnav's announcement. Walking on heels? That's it? Arre waah! She grinned at Arnav, "Bas? That's it? I can walk on heels! My job as waitress had... Errr...", she bit her lip trying to explain herself. She rephrased her sentence in her mind and spoke again, "In my job I had to wear heels so walking on heels is...uh...", she searched for the right words and then spoke up smiling brightly, "not a big deal. Yes! Walking on heels is not a big deal!"
Arnav blinked at the smile on her face and then smirked at her, "Oh really?"
Khushi nodded eager to prove herself.
"Good! Then I am sure you won't mind trying these for me!", he mocked her as he pulled out a six inch heeled stilettos. Khushi's jaw dropped open. Itna lamba heels? Hey Devi Maiyya! She was used to wearing heels but never stilettos and never this long. Devi Maiyya! Ab aap hi bachaao humein! Save me! She looked at the heels worriedly and then at smug looking Arnav. She narrowed her eyes at him in anger. Khadus! He seemed to be enjoying this situation a lot!
But Khushi was not the one to back out of challenges! She grabbed the heels and removing her sandals she put on the heels and stood on it proudly looking at Arnav as if saying See! I did it!' But Arnav's smirk grew wider making Khushi gulp. Why do I feel I am missing out on something? Hey Devi Maiyya!
Arnav pulled out a stack of heavy books and placed them on Khushi's head. Khushi staggered at the weight, teetering a bit but her tight hold on the nearby table stopped her from falling.
Arnav folded his arms against his chest and looked at her with challenge, saying only one word, "Walk!"
Khushi's jaw dropped open in shock. But it was not only Khushi who was shocked.
"Bhai! Have you gone mad?", Aakash shouted. Already Khushi was stumbling on 6 inch heels. To walk in it with four heavy books on her head, would be catastrophe waiting to happen.
"Chote! This is ridiculous!", Anjali protested. What if Khushi twisted and sprained her ankle due to the weight or worse; fractured it? Oh God!
Khushi stopped them, "Nahi! I have to do it! Sir is challenging me! I accept it!", saying her piece she glared at him. Arnav raised his eyebrows, impressed by the girl's attitude.
Both Anjali and Aakash stood up readying themselves to catch Khushi if she fell. But Khushi held her head high and slowly started walking. She completed one round of the room and came to stand by Arnav. "Dekha Sir! Now tell me! Did I pass your exam?"
Arnav rolled his eyes, "This was not an exam Khushi! You have a habit of walking too fast as if you are always in hurry. Walking with heels and books on the head would make you walk cautiously. It will make you walk with grace and also stop you from slamming into people and things. Samjhi?"
Khushi nodded as she realised what Arnav was aiming for. She took a deep breath and started walking earnestly. But just then bad luck struck her and her leg twisted making her fall. She closed her eyes waiting to hit the floor and pain to start only to feel someone grab her waist. She opened her eyes and they widened as she took in the scene in front of her. Arnav had grabbed her while she fell and was now holding her in his arms. She felt shiver go through her at the intensity of Arnav's stare. His eyes seemed to be focused on her face. She gulped as she noticed something; did his eyes look at my lips or did I imagine that? She bit her lip and it shocked her to know that it was not her imagination. His eyes had actually flickered to her lips. Hey Devi Maiyya!
Aakash's subtle clearing of his throat brought Arnav back to the real world and he, flustered by Khushi in his arms, pulled away and stumbled few steps back.
THWACK!
Khushi was on the floor. She looked at the floor wide eyed and then at Arnav in shock. Did he just drop her? Hey Devi Maiyya! Arnav looked everywhere but did not look at the persons in the room. Anjali and Aakash looked at Khushi and Arnav to and fro. What the hell had happened here? Khushi simply sat on the floor confused and hurt. Ouch! My back is paining!
Finally Arnav gathered himself, shouted at Khushi, "Get up and start practicing! I am off to Office!", instructed Anjali to help her and stormed away. Aakash looked at Anjali and shrugged as he followed Arnav. Arnav had only one thought in his mind the whole day; what the hell had happened there? The other three were confused for a while but forgot the incident and went back to their routine. But Arnav could not forget Khushi in his arms or her wide eyes staring at him.
Later in the evening, Arnav was seated in his chair in the study room. Anyone who saw him would have thought that he was reading the report in front of him. But if anyone got closer, they would notice that he was actually dozing. Yes! Arnav Singh Raizada was dozing. You see, not sleeping the whole night had left him very tired by the evening and hence while going through some of his reports he dozed off.
After few minutes of dozing off, Arnav woke up to see Khushi standing at the door to his study. He blinked a bit in surprise but then his eyes widened as he took in Khushi fully. Her hair was left open on her shoulder, her face done in make up with her eyes having the smoky look. But that was not what shocked him. Khushi was wearing a navy blue colored dress which molded to her curves making Arnav gulp. But that was also not what shocked Arnav. What shocked Arnav was the dress came barely to her mid thigh and showed off her legs very well. His eyes were locked onto those legs that went on and on and ended with the high heels he had given Khushi in the morning. She took a step ahead making Arnav pull his eyes off her legs and look at her in shock. She gave him a smirk as she walked towards him as if she knew how he was feeling while looking at her legs. Arnav was unable to breathe as Khushi came to his desk, hopped onto it, and crossed her legs giving him a good view of them. His eyes refused to move from her legs as he stared at them unashamedly. He slowly raised his hand to touch them when -
Arnav woke up from his dream and looked around in confusion. He was still seated in his chair in his study but there was no Khushi around. Was he dreaming? He looked around in confusion. Damn! I was actually dreaming about Khushi and her long legs! Shit! He clenched his fists frustrated at himself. Why did he think about that damn bloody girl so much? He had seen so many girls in his life. Why did this one chit of a girl affect him so much? But Arnav knew the answer. This was the only girl who had the guts to face him. She was the only girl who faced his challenges head on and did not flinch at his rude attitude. Of course, she had very creamy and beautiful long legs too.
It annoyed Arnav that his mind went back to Khushi's legs. Annoyed at himself he almost did not notice Khushi enter the room.
"WHAT?", he roared as he looked up at her, "What do you want?"
Startled by his sudden anger it took Khushi a while to reply, "I came here to return your book!" Saying this, she kept the Pride & Prejudice book and turned to walk away.
Arnav, taken over by his anger, barked out, "You have read the whole thing?"
Khushi turned and nodded, "Yes Sir! I stay awake the whole night but read it fully!"
"Stayed, not stay! It is past tense!", Arnav corrected automatically.
Khushi nodded and gave him a smile.
Arnav had enough of her cheery attitude. How dare she ruin his good mood but smile so happily! Wait! I will teach you a lesson. Arnav went over to his books and pulled out some more books and slammed them in front of her, "These are all Jane Austen's books! Sense & Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion and Mansfield Park! Read all of them in two days!"
"In two days?", Khushi squeaked.
"Haan! Bada excite ho rahi thi na Pride & Prejudice padhne ko! Ab usi author ke baaki saare novels bhi padho! (Yes! You seemed to be very excited to read P&P, right? Now read rest of the novels written by the same author!) ". Arnav stormed off in anger to his room leaving behind a shell shocked Khushi.
All these books in two days? Hey Devi Maiyya! How will I do it? Khushi frowned. Chalo Khushi dear! Lets read some old books! It seems I will be doing nothing but read books the next two days. She took one look at the books and huffed. Bye Bye afternoon nap! It seems I will be staying awake a lot for the next two days.
NOTE:
And if you are disappointed to find this update without comedy, then please remember that the story is romantic comedy. I need to let the romance progress too!
