Arshi SS: The Tinder Affair | (Part 31 up) | (Blog Link Up!) - Page 43

It could have been a coincidence. But Arnav's dread had been growing since he'd seen his wife's bra-less-ness.

What WERE the odds?

Could Khushi be...?

Heart pounding frantically in his chest, he had tried to follow Khushi inconspicuously as she walked a few streets down, hailed a taxi and drove to the caf where he and Lola were supposed to meet.

Outside the caf, she'd bought a single red rose from the roadside florist.

And Arnav had practically had an aneurysm as he watched her.

The two of them - Khushi and Lola - had always seemed worlds apart. He'd always doubted if they could even belong to the same dimension.

And here was the truth.

Khushi was Lola.

Lola was Khushi.

They were one and the same.

He'd been cheating on his wife WITH his wife.

No matter what form the thought took, it still seemed impossible to wrap his brain around.

Wiping sweat from his brow, Arnav shifted gears and slowly drove to his office.

How could he go in that caf now? What would he say?

Khushi was cheating on him. And he was cheating on her.

And even though no third or fourth party had been involved, Little Arnav was still in danger of being chopped off by his orange juice-wielding, soon-to-be-very-pissed-off wife.

NK had arrived at Khushi and Arnav's house late in the afternoon and fixed himself to a chair in the kitchen. And though she had tried her hardest, Khushi had been unable to make him leave.

He kept asking her if something interesting had happened today. For a while, Khushi was horrified by the idea that NK knew about Kinky and about her getting stood up. But when no dramatic confrontation happened, she told herself to relax. There was no way NK knew. Anjali couldn't have told him and Nanhe-ji wasn't that smart.

His prolonged and uninvited stay in her kitchen however made common courtesy demand that she offer him something to eat. And she reluctantly made him some sandwiches. God knew that if NK struck upon food in any house, he made it damn near impossible to get rid of him.

For politeness' sake, she asked him about his girlfriend.

NK grinned through a mouthful of bread, strongly resembling a squirrel with its cheeks full of nuts.

"Lavanya is awesome, Khushi-ji! Best girl I've ever met. Or dated. And so hot," he smirked as he took another large bite. "It was a blessed day when I decided to join Tinder and met her. That all is God's gift to mankind Khushi-ji! God's gift. That's why I told Nanav that he should join too. Though it took some convincing." A bit of the sandwich flew out of his mouth and onto the table and NK hurriedly tried to clean it up.
