Part 5
She looked on as his car travelled into the distance. Her eyes lost sight of him and she made her way inside the house.
She put her bag down and went to wash her hands. She turned the tap on and began washing her hands and face. She prepared herself some food and sat down to enjoy with her tv on. She was really tired. Keeping pace with ASR was feat in itself. She put her feet up and sat down to watch some of the bollywood channels.
A thought struck her and she picked up her iphone and rang Arnav.
He was eating his food with Anjali on the dining table.
"What the h...who is ringing me at this time..?" he took his phone out of his pocket and was surprised.
"Haan bolo?"
"Sir main aap ka ziyada waqt nahin loogi...but how did you know my address?"
Arnav was bamboozled and looked at Anjali who was intently looking at who it could be. He knew Anjali will tease him regarding Khushi. He got up and went out of the dining area.
"Khushi Kumari Gupta..don't get happy that I know where you live...it is simple...I saw your address in your CV file and remembered it..."
"Ohhh" Khushi said sadly.
"Khushi I told you before my life does not revolve around you why don't you bloody get it?"
Khushi grabbed her courage and retorted. "Yes I do bloody get it sir but I just wanted to know but the great ASR never answers anyone right?"
He was shocked she had retaliated. "Goodnight sir and sorry for disturbing you". She hung up and he looked mighty annoyed.
Anjali was still waiting for her brother to return. He came back and looked like he was not eating with his full senses. "How dare that girl talk to me like that".
"Which girl bhai?"
"Khushi" he replied without realising.
"So Khushi gave takar to the great ASR...that is a new record". She giggled.
Aman rang him to let him know of a inivitation from a old client.
"Sir Mr Oberoi has called you and Khushi for dinner at one of his launch parties tomorrow to discuss one of his deals".
"What? Me and Khushi? I can't even refuse he is a good client...okay Aman we will go".
Arnav left his food and went to his bedroom to contemplate whether to ring Khushi. He mulled over the pro and cons. Eventually he picked the phone and rang her.
"Khushi don't you dare cut me off like that again...listen to me carefully Mr Oberio has called us for a business dinner tomorrow".
Khushi was feeling tensed by the idea. "Sir me and dinner with you?"
"Yes strictly professional".
"Okay sir". He was surprised she agreed so quickly.

Anjali locked her bedroom door and took out her mobile to ring her boyfriend-Sonu.
"Hi Sonu how are you my jaan?"
"I am fine sweety..hows it going with big bad bro?"
"Oh don't ask! He so strict that he doesn't let me breathe...I can't wait to see you again...I still got one week left".
"Don't worry...we will meet soon and you will be back in my arms". Anjali felt shy.
"Acha tell me have you told your brother about me?"
"No way jaanu..he will murder me first and you second.." she laughed.
"Your scared of your brother...how cute..anyways you done something about the money?"
"Yeh I am trying but he will ask me a million questions..why you need it etc etc but you don't worry I will get round him..he loves me alot".
"Not more than me sweetheart anyway gimme a good night kiss"
"Muahhh...miss you".

The next day Lavanya sat there sulking at her boyfriend for taking his secretary rather than her.
"I can't believe ASR your taking her out of all people in this world.."
He looked at her mockingly. "Lavanya if I'm not mistaken are you feeling insecure?"
"No me and insecure of who Khushi? no ways!"
He placed his hands on her shoulders and reassured her. "It's strictly professional".
"If you say so...but you owe me a dinner date". He smiled and nodded his head.

Arnav arranged for Khushi to meet up with him at the venue. Arnav arrived early and began talking to Mr Oberoi.
"Mr Raizada your secretary not here yet?"
"She is on her way..I just got here too early".
"Mr Raizada I am looking for a model that is dazzling..an eyecatcher for my music video but nothing has caught my eye...so I am asking your help if you know of anyone".
Arnav immediately got an image of Khushi but he pushed it aside. "No I don't know of anyone".
"But if you see someone let me know would you?" Arnav gave a nod.
Arnav began texting Anjali that Mr oberoi suddenly got up. "Oh my lovely God what a beauty!"
Arnav looked at the direction Mr Oberoi was looking- it was Khushi looking like a million bucks.
He got up and proceeded towards her. He took her hand and stood there motionless. "Khushi your looking...breathless". She looked at him and his deep brown eyes that were telling her his wildest thoughts.
"You know her Mr Raizada?" interrupted Mr Oberoi.
"Yah she is my secretary Khushi". He broke off the eyelock and then looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
"Pleased to meet you madam...Mr Raizada this is the girl I want for my music video...please could you persuade her..we will start shooting tomorrow at your office?"
Arnav looked at Khushi and then decided that he could not afford to let Mr Oberoi down. "Khushi you okay with that...I remember you said you love singing and dancing..so here's a chance to prove yourself...don't worry I will handle everything".
Khushi knew it was best to agree with her boss otherwise the volcanoe will erupt.
"As you think best Sir".
"Thank you to the both of you...please take a seat and I will send you the menu".
Her heartbeat was increasing under his intense gaze. He looked at her like he was mentally undressing her. She began looking into her handbag to avoid looking at him.
"Khushi what do you want to order?"
"Sir anything your ordering...I am fine with it". He ordered the same food and then began his conversation with her.
"Sir about what you said about shaadi yesterday...that you don't believe in it?"
"I don't because it is a medieval ritual to put a tag on two people that they belong to each other...plus who can stay with one person for the rest of their life".
Khushi looked on him with condemnation. "Sir why are you so bitter..I mean marriage is a bond of two people two souls".
"Well it probably was about a good twenty years ago but KKG things have changed...and anyway ASR can have any girl if he wants at any given time...and you know it".
He began tucking into his food and she felt disgusted.
"That is so wrong...your thinking is wrong..."
"No it isn't I can have any girl without marriage...girls throw themselves on me".
"Really?"
"Yes really...if I wanted to I can have even you KKG". He said with an arched eyebrow and his trademark smirk.
Khushi angrily got up and walked off. Arnav left his food and followed her .
"Khushi stop! Khushi I'm talking to you..how many times I have told you to look at me when I'm talking to you", he grabbed her shoulders and shook her. She pushed him back and he was taken aback.
"How dare you...how dare you compare me to those other girls...and NO ASR..you can never have me...EVER...I am not a wine bottle that you can open and drink me..."
Khushi just ran off and he looked on thinking...
