ONE MONTH TIME 3.8
Part 8
Khushi sighed and looked at her friend for the umpteenth time. " Shreya, for the last time, where is your brother? "
"Khushi, I don't know. ..we both read the notice, the interview was scheduled to start by 11 in the morning, now its 4 pm, and the company' s MD is still not here. ..that's what Rohan is telling me everytime I call him. " Shreya replied, irritated herself.
" MD is still not here? Really? How do such irresponsible and unpunctual people become success? "
"I don't know, Khushi. ..please wait for an hour more "
"Shreya, Amma will be home soon and then she will start doing all the chores alone. .and I don't like it that after working whole day at cafe, she returns home and does all the work by herself "
"I know. ." Shreya started but the phone in her hand beeped, gaining her attention. " MD is here..." Shreya read the text message, "And interview will be done in an hour, Khushi. .there are just 5 students ..it won't take more than an hour "
Khushi nodded her head. "OK, "
After an hour they saw Rohan making his way towards them.
"How did the interview go Rohan? Shreya stood up, followed by Khushi.
"Interview went well. .result will be displayed in 2 days "Rohan smiled.
"That's nice. .now shall we move? " Khushi asked.
"Yes Ofcourse, I am sorry for making you guys wait, but it's not my fault, MD came late. ..forget about being late, he didnt even asked a single question. .I don't know why he was even here "
They started descending the stairs, and were about to turn left, towards the exit gate when Khushi stopped, making the other two stop.
Khushi looked ahead over the wide spread campus park. There sat a lonely figure on one stone bench. Her heartbeat took a pace, a sense of deja vu washed over her.
"Khushi?" Shreya called.
" Uhh?" Khushi shifted her gaze from the man to her friend.
" Why did you stop?..Come, you are getting late"
Khushi again looked at the man, and then again at her friend. " Mmm..Shreya, you go.. . I have some work. ..I will take a cab"
"What?.Are you sure?"
"Yes yes. ."
"OK , take care. .call me if you can't find a cab "
Khushi nodded her head and saw Shreya and Rohan leaving.
" You know what work she has?"
Shreya looked at her brother.
"No. . You heard what she said" Shreya replied.
" You know who the MD was?" Rohan asked.
"How will I know, Rohan? ..what is wrong with you? "
"MD was the same man whom Khushi had found in front of that brothel, and insisted that I drop him safe to his home"
"What? " Shreya asked, shocked.
" Yes. ...and I guess she saw him sitting on the bench, and that was her 'work' " Rohan opened the car's door for his sister.
"What do you mean, Rohan?" Shreya asked as she took the passenger seat.
" Nothing, he is a handsome and attractive man, can't blame Khushi for becoming a puppy in front of him, but tell her she will achieve nothing " Shutting the door close, he walked across to get behind the wheel.
Khushi fidgeted with the end of scarf. Should she go, or not? She looked at him. He sat there, looking at the ground, and she felt the warning in the air that approaching him wasn't a good idea. Still chiding the warning away, her legs stared forward.
She stood in front of him, who was still looking down. Dipping her hand in her hand bag, she removed a white kerchief.
"Excuse me..?" khushi called. And as he lifted his head to look straight in her eyes, she was robbed of her breath. With her heartbeat taking a pace, she stood there, just looking into his pained molten eyes.
"Yes?"
She saw his lips move, but didn't heard what he said. She felt herself breaking in sweat, suddenly feeling hot and cold. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came past her quivering lips.
" What do you want?"
She saw his confused eyes, fixed at her. And she knew she should say something. She forwarded her hand. " Kerchief. ..your. ..its your" and saw his eyes now shift to her hand. As she saw him, he stood up from the bench, all six feet tall. And then dipping his hand in his trouser pocket, he removed one similar kerchief held in her hand.
" That's not mine, "
She heard him say.
"No. .its yours. ..from other day" Khushi said and saw his brows frown. " From. ...from outside the brothel " she stammered and saw his face harden, his molten eyes turning a dangerous shade. She moved back, scared. And then she all but turned and ran, not even looking back once.
Khushi laughed as she thought back of the day she had met him second time. She use to become such a nervous wreck in front of him back then. But now she is anything but nervous in front of him. She looked down at her hand, adorned with beautiful mehendi design. In two days she will be married. Married to the man she loves - her Raj Kumar. With a soft smile touching her lips at that thought, she laid down on her bed. She had waited for this moment for so long. And now finally it's here. But with the feeling of happiness, came a sense of responsibility - responsibility of Aryan, who soon will be her Son. After the little lunch session with him, she had again been there the next day, but he wasn't there. She had searched him, and the following days too, but it was like he had gone in hiding. And after few days of not finding him, she had stopped going there.
He is very much broken. Neglected and abandoned by his own parents doesn't leaves a good feeling, she can understand that. The feeling of being not wanted by his own parents had left him bitter, and she is no way going to blame him for becoming the boy he is today. Why would he care for anyone, when he was never been loved and cared by the two person who oath to love and care for him. But that doesn't mean he will shut away every person who approaches him, certainly not the one who really care for him, and are ready to help him. He will have to allow her in, she will make him do that. All he needs is love and care, and she is proud to admit it to herself that she has that in abundant to give him just that.
She looked at her cell on the side table. Extending her hand, she picked it and dialed a number.
"Arnav ji?, by what time you will be here?"
"I will be there by 7, Khushi." He relaxed back in his chair, allowing her soothing voice to touch the deep recesses of his body and take away the tiredness away.
"Good...Is he coming?" She asked hopefully.
"Yes..." Arnav rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Because HP is not home, and he doesn't like meals made by any other cook, and also because I had not told him you too are coming with us.."
Khushi laughed. "Theek hai na, atleast he is coming ... see the brighter side. " she grinned.
"I am seeing ..." he smiled softly.
"Theek hai, hum phone rakhte hain , you be here on time.."
"OK, Khushi...bye.."
Aryan saw his father taking the familiar path, and before reaching the destination he knew where they were heading to. "You didn't told me she is coming too." Aryan clenched his jaw.
"After two days, she will be married to me, and living with us. She is part of our life now.." Arnav replied.
"No. Not mine. She will be your wife, and part of your life. Not mine. " Aryan retorted.
Arnav rubbed his temple. He has no idea how things will turn after two days. How things will move between him, Aryan and Khushi after he and Khushi are married, after Khushi will be a permanent member in his life and house. Khushi says all Aryan needs is love and care. And isn't he trying to give him exactly that. Still he sees not a ounce of development in their relationship.
"Whether you like it or not, accept her or not, after two days she will be a part of our life and your Mother, Aryan."
Aryan laughed as he heard the word mother'. He leaned back in his seat and laughed. "Mother, uhh? ... Well, ..." he again sat straight, and looked at his father through the mirror. "May I get a new Father too?" he smiled broadly as he met his Father's intense gaze through mirror. Relaxing back again, he smiled. "How lucky I am .."
Arnav stopped the car in front of Khushi's house, not caring to reply to his Son's sarcasm.
Khushi stood there smiling in a baby pink sleeveless knee length lace dress.
Arnav came out of the car, and despite of his foul mood, a small smile paved its way on his lips as he saw her smiling charmingly at him.
"You guys are here, " she came to stand by the car and twirled around. "How am I looking? Good enough to be accompanied by two handsome?" She smiled broadly.
While one handsome rolled his eyes, the second one smiled and shook his head.
"You always look beautiful, Khushi. Now come on , get in.." He opened the front door for her, but Khushi closed it.
"I would like to sit with Aryan. Does his Father has any problem?" Khushi wiggled her eyebrow at Arnav ji.
Arnav shook his head. He had his fill, now it's her turn. He walked across and sat behind the wheel.
Getting inside the car, she smiled at Aryan.
"Hi, Babu. How are you doing? I am surprised you came today, I thought you are still underground. In case you think I am some police and you a gangster, let me tell you, there's nothing such. So there's no need to hide from me." She finished with a broad smile.
"Do not flatter yourself. Who told I am hiding from you? I am not a coward." Aryan retorted.
"Oh I see... Then why did I not see you after our first lunch session...? "
Aryan turned his face to the other side. "Because I don't wish to have my lunch with you"
"Oh ...And I thought you are scared of me .. Glad we talked ,.. I don't know why people prefer to run away and stay silent when half of the problem can get solved by staying put and talking ..Do you know why?"
Aryan gritted his teeth and kept silent.
"Leave it ... You look at my mehendi, isn't it beautiful and the darkest?" she thrust her palm under his nose.
"What the!" Aryan leaned back. "Why are you so clingy?"
Arnav bit his lips to swallow the smile. His Son certainly has no idea how clingy this girl can get.
"Are, ami tomake amar mehedi dekhacchi, ar tumi amake chipku bolcho...jodi tomar gale kiss kori tokhon ki bolbe?"(Aree, I am just showing you my mehendi , and you are calling me clingy... What will you say if I kiss your cheek?) She planted a kiss on his cheek and giggled.
Aryan's head jerked towards her, his eyes glaring at her.
Khushi swallowed her giggle and moved back. "OK, I get it ... "
Arnav looked out of the window to hide his smile.
They reached the restaurant after half an hour of driving. Giving the car keys to the valet, Arnav took Khushi's hand in his.
Khushi turned to look at Aryan walking behind them. Smiling, she took his hand in hers, and pulled him lightly. "Come .." she blinked her eyes at him and smiled.
Aryan allowed her to hold his hand, unable to decipher why isn't he jerking her hand away. Those eyes. He ... He liked those eyes. So much happiness shining in those pair of eyes. He swallowed hard. He has nothing to do with her. She is nothing to him.
They took their table and placed their order. They had their dinner while Khushi tried hard to make some conversation with Aryan, but he went into silent, not even retorting with his usual scorn. Khushi left at that, not wanting to push him more.
As the car stopped in front of her house, Khushi exited and car.
"Thank you for the wonderful evening, people" she smiled.
Arnav came out and walked across the car. "You made the evening wonderful .."
"I will take that compliment as it was only me who was talking.." She said eyeing both of them. "Now bye , now no meeting till shaadi, Amma told me ... that's why I arranged this Dinner.."
"I remember, you told me .."
Khushi smiled and leaned to kiss him. "Bye" she waved at him and bent down to look at Aryan , who was sitting in the car. "Bye, Aryan... sweetdreams .."
Moving back, she saw Arnav ji getting in the car and speeding away. She sighed and turned to enter the gate of her house. Everything is going slow and good, she just hopes in the future too everything goes well.
Hope you all liked it. And someone had asked for Aryan's pic. I had used one pic in the banner, now I cant find that pic. You all can see the banner (above) to see Aryan's pic.
