Prologue

A girl is sitting on a bench at the park, peacefully drafting on her sketchbook. She is distracted by a loud exhaust noise, suddenly a guy in a Suzuki Intruder comes and stop beside her. He comes and tap on her shoulder. She freaks out seeing a guy standing close to her and starts perishing silently.

Guy: excuse me miss, do you know where's this ashram..err ..samat.. samat.. err I cant recall

He does not get any reaction from the girl but he does not notice her because he is looking here and there.

Guy: excuse me.. Wohoo (waving his hand infront of her face)

The girl turns and look at him then quickly looks down. He was dumfounded seeing the nymph in front of him. Even though he saw her face for few seconds only, he knew it would take ages to forget her exquisiteness. She draws something on her sketchbook and then tears the page and gives it to him. The guy takes the paper and see's the content. Immediately she grabs her staff and runs from there without waiting for his response.

Guy: owh yaa.. Samatva Ashram.

He sees the name of the place he wanted to go and then a map indicating the way he should take to reach there. When he turns to look at the girl she is gone.

Guy: anyways, thank you (saying it to himself. Saying that he took his bike and left)

The girl comes running to her home. She quickly gets in and locks the door. Suddenly she hears someone struggling with her door's lock trying to come in her house. She feels petrified seeing the door. The door opens and her mom comes in.

Garima: Khushi? is everything alright?

Khushi just stood there looking at her mother.

Garima: what's the matter? I was standing outside then I saw you running home. Why were you running? Khushi..I am asking you.

Khushi (very low voiced): I saw a guy at the park

Garima(freaks out comes running to khushi): did he do anything to you?

Khushi: he.. he asked me for directions..

Garima (breaths in relieve): he just asked you for directions. Whats there to be upset about? (patting her shoulder)

Khushi: I, I don't like him..

Saying that she leaves to her room.

A woman in her early thirties comes in the room with a smiling face.

Anjali: so chotey what brings you here?

ASR: nothing di, just missing you! I wanted to see if you are adjusting to the new place well or not?

Anjali: of course I am doing great. It's a dream come true chotey. I have no complains but I guess you have..(raising one eyebrow)

ASR: ofcourse di.. first its hard to locate this place and then its name .. Gosh its not coming in my mouth at all.. thank god the girl in the park drew me the location.

Anjali: drew for you matlab?

ASR: owh I think she is mute.. so she just draw me the location..

Saying that he took the crumpled paper and gave her. The first thing Anjali notice in the piece of sheet was the drawing. A mother and baby on her chest.

Anjali: arrey chotey!.. look it's a drawing. It so beautiful naa.. and you crumpled it..

Arnav took the drawing from Anjali's hand. He was amazed to see the drawing. He felt the drawing carried too much depth in it. Both the siblings just stared to the air seeing the painting. Breaking from his thoughts he took the paper, fold it nicely and stuffed in his coat's pocket.

PART 1

AR Fashion House

Aakash: ASR, here's the final list of interns for the designer post.

ASR: hmm… ok so just finalize them and ask them to be here by 10 in the morning.

Aakash: err ASR.. Can I ask you for a favor?

ASR: aakash since when you asked favors? Just tell me what is it and I will definitely help u..

Aakash: errmm.. its not for me yaar.. I mean technically.. its for my friend . I mean, my neighbor. She is really good at this stuff and she is looking for a job. We can take her as an intern and if you like her work through out the duration than we can hire her. Its just a suggestion of course. Up to you.

ASR: such a small matter yaar. In that case just ask her to be here at 10 tomorrow ok.

Aakash(smiling): tq yaar.. so whats plans tonite?

ASR: as if you don't know.. hiting the clubs than hit the bed with god knows who..haha (smiling triumphantly)

Aakash: tum bhi naa!! Just never change!

The Next Day

All the interns were waiting in the lobby anxiously including Khushi who is sitting in the corner alone. Payal comes them and tells all them to go in the Board Room.

All were sitting at their places readily waiting for their group of employers. Aakash comes in with Shyam, Anna and payal sitting at their respective places.

Shyam asking Aakash: where's ASR?

Aakash: I don't know Shyam, I think he would be here in a while..

Shyam: owh ok.. good good! then we should just start instead of wasting time.

Aakash hates Shyam but he has to respect him because he is close to the President of AR.

Aakash: I mean we can start the short briefing till he comes. Anna if you don't mind, can you take over.

Anna started scanning all the interns. She felt none of the girls look as good as her and was happy. Then she sported Khushi who is trying to conceal herself from others.

Anna(thinking): hmmm.. this looks like challenge. Ahh but who cares, she dresses up like a nun. Am sure my ASR would not like her.

Anna started briefing to the interns when suddenly someone barged in the door..

ASR: sorry you guys.. I am late..(smiling and adjusting his tie)

He looked around and then donned his seat, a place at the end of the table. He looked at Anna and signaled her to continue. Anna was flattered. She continued enthusiastically after giving him a charming smile. Arnav was bored listening to all the normal crap about AR. He just put a poker face and looked straight! The briefing was over and Payal was calling one by one interns name. Arnav looked around and he saw Khushi sitting on his left. He wondered how he did not notice her. Than, He leaned against her.

ASR(whishpering): hey! Hey!

Khushi just looked at him and then looked down.

ASR (poking her elbow): hey, u don't remember me? Its me! Remember yesterday! .. I got something of yours..

Khushi looked up at him immediately listening to his offence.

ASR: tell me your name first!!

She just looked at his face without saying a word.. wondering what was he saying about!

ASR(still whispering) : tell me your name naa.. is this how you respect your boss?

Payal: Khushi Gupta..

Khushi Gupta (louder)

Khushi Kumari Gupta (annoyed and louder)

Khushi: me! (very silently almost whispering)

Payal: owh here you are (giving her the offer letter)

Every guy was looking at Khushi, astound with her beauty. Shyam was giving her dirty looks. Anna, Payal and all the other girls were annoyed with the attention she is getting. Khushi was feeling very inferior, she just took the letter and tried to move away from Arnav when he quickly grabbed her hand under the table hidden from everyone's eye. Khushi was shaking, she felt very uncomfortable. He just hold her hand and stared at her, this dint go missing from Aakash eyes who felt a tinge in his heart.

Anna was annoyed seeing Arnav looking at Khushi. she just felt like ripping Khushi apart. The moment Payal finished handing the offer letters. She quickly said " ok, the meeting is over, now you all follow Payal and go to your respective places. She will show y'all your scope. Stay away from trouble unless you want to get fired! Get it. " the last sentences specifically aimed at Khushi. saying that she, Shyam and Aakash left the board room.

Arnav was still holding Khushi's hand. Khushi was trying her best to make him leave her but it only got stronger. She just looked at him and the rest who are leaving the room. He had a smirk on his face..

ASR(having a smirk on his face): so you are Khushi.. nice name

She was at the verge of crying..when suddenly Aakash came in and knock the door..

Aakash(STERNLY): ASR CHALO!

Hearing Aakash, Arnav left her hand. She took back her things and ran away from there. Arnav just stood there smirking..

ASR: coming naa…whats the big deal yaar.. I was just getting to know my interns..

Aakash: ya right! You better stop keep stretching your wanton evil hands from the interns. you better not hit on them?

ASR (PUTTING HIS TONGUE OUT): Whats the big deal yaar? What's the worst that could happen?

Aakash : You don't want a sexual harassment case on you for sure, right?

ASR: come on Aakash! Like you don't know Arnav Singh Raizada's jadoo.. nothing of that sort would happen..they would come happily to my lap!! (Giving Aakash his charming smile)

Aakash: owh realy.. Mr, Arnav 'The Jadookar' Singh Raizada, What happen to your principal of not having affairs with your staffs..

ASR: arrey yaar, I was just joking. I met that girl yesterday. So I just played. And you know this girls don't mean a thing..

Aakash: ya ok.. just make sure you do not hit on Khushi again, she will freak out..

ASR(blur and questioning look): uh? How do you know her?

Aakash: she is the girl I was telling you yesterday. She is my neighbor plus we went to school together.. though her senior, I know her quite well. She is a bit weird. She does not talk to anyone and draws the whole day. She hates men. She runs away from them. She acts all filthy when a guy once touched her.

ASR: uh?? Is there something wrong with her..

Aakash: hmm ..maybe she has phobia..

ASR: phobia?

Aakash: yeah.. men phobia! Especially with a walking sex organ like you..you better stay away from her..

ASR (smiling slyly and the sighing): haha..hmmm whatever…

Days passed by. Arnav did not disturb Khushi anymore although he watched her silently. She would come to work, never mix with anyone, barely talked unless necessary that too almost whispering. She will bring her lunch from home and never moved from her place until the day was over. She would be drawing all day. He was starting to believe what Aakash was saying is true, she indeed has men phobia. The moment any guy went near, she would get all uncomfortable. She would shrink as much as possible trying not to gain any attention. She dressed up like she was living in Antarctica, wearing a salwar kameez and a thick sweater on top but that was not helping either from staying away from men. All of them seem to be attracted to her innocent beauty. A face he hated to see seem to be very attracted to her too. Shyam Manohar Jha was showing her very much interest and giving her a lot of attention. He seldom came to AR fashion House but now he is almost here everyday and monitoring the internship program a lot in the claim of his business here. Arnav also saw Shyam trying to touch Khushi many times but she would not say a thing and just run away from him with some excuse. Arnav did not want to perturb her or make her feel uncomfortable so he decided to stay away from her.

It was the day of presentation for the interns. Arnav, Aakash, Shyam, Anna, Payal and other important designers of AR were there. Almost all the designs presented by the interns was done by hard work and looked great. It was khushi's turn. Khushi was very nervous, she was shacking and everyone noticed it. Every body looked at her silently.

Anna(annoyed): are you going to show your work and speak up or do you expect us to wait here for you the whole day?

Khushi(silently praying): hey dewi Maiya, raksha karna!

Khushi slowly opened the sheet covering her canvas.. the drawing took everyone's breath away. Everyone in the room was silent waiting for her explaination but she just stood there fidgeting her dupata. Anna was losing her patience again

Anna: can u proceed or do you need another invitation..

Arnav cut in saving Khushi: I think the design talking by itself, you do not have to explain..

Anna and Payal was shocked.. they knew ASR was player but when it comes to work he never cuts slack for anyone..

Anna: But ASR…How can…

Aakash: I think ASR is right.. Khushi's design is awesome..what say Shyam?

Shyam: owh ya.. its so sexy….(eyeing on Khushi instead of her designs)

Khushi just puts her head down waiting for a final answer when she heard Arnav say "u can sit" she breathed. She saw Shyam standng near her sit.. she did not feel like going back to her place. She looked around, she saw there was an empty sit beside arnav.

Khushi (thinking to herself): I better sit beside him rather than the snake.. atleast he does not bother me..

She went and sat beside Arnav, right beside him but a bit behind him. Arnav and everyone else was surprised she sat beside him. Another intern was doing his presentation

Arnav suddenly bent to her and whishpered : I have your mother and child Painting..

Khushi(loudly): haan? Her mouth pouting in "o" shape?

Everybody was shocked as this is the first time they heard her voice so loud..they looked at Arnav and than at her. She immediately looked down. Arnav signaled at the presenter to continue and smilled at Khushi.

ASR(whispering): I will give it to you later..

Later in the evening..

It was a long day, as Arnav was packing up he remembered his words with Khushi..

ASR(THINKING) : Maybe she has not gone back yet..i will go and give it now to her..

He took the sketch and looked thoroughly, he fold and kept it in his pocket and moved to her the designing room. On his way he noticed that everyone has gone back. he thought she also would have left and decided to leave the painting on her table. When he reached the interns room, he was appalled. He was disgusted with the situation he landed on..

Shyam was standing behind Khushi who was sitting on her chair. He moved his hand from her shoulders, to her arms, slowly reaching down to the bottom of her sweater. Khushi sat there with her eyes closed but a tear rolled down her cheeks, she was shaking, Her lips murmuring something, her fingers fidgeting with her dupatta. She looked disturbed but she was not doing anything.

Arnav could not digest the fact of what was happening. First he wanted to walk away but then he felt khushi is scared and not anticipating with shyam's act but he wondered why is she not doing anything to protect herself.

Bang!! The door opened wide..

Shyam and Khushi was startled.

Shyam(SHOUTING, ANNOYED): ASR, YOU?

Khushi was relieved to see Arnav here.. she was thanking her dewi Maiya silently..

ASR: hey shyam.. never knew you were so interested in designing especially with interns..( he took a pen knife from one of the beside table and started playing with it pointing towards Shyam)

Shyam: owh, owh ASR..I, I was just helping Khushi here.. why haven't you gone back yet..( he knew better than messing with ASR)

ASR: its my office Shyam.. I can go back anytime I want..anyways I have some work with Khushi.. if u don't mind…can you like, leave!

Shyam: owh yea. It is getting late..i should be going.. see you later Khushi (smiling slyly) See you arnav (giving him a irritated look)

After shyam left, arnav kept back the pen knife on a table and moved towards her than he commented to himself loudly..

ASR: so quick to accept defeat.. no fun! You are so stupid! You let him touch you without bargaining anything?

He looked at Khushi.. she was sobbing hard.. He put his hand in the pocket thinking what to say..

ASR(huskily): you dint like him touching you? (She did not give any reaction, still crying) don't be so timid if you don't like it naa…cowardice is the most useless thing! (Paused looking deep into her eyes than her face) especially your expression, it makes people want to more cruel things to you..

He touched her shoulders, as in saying I am here. She stopped crying.. she looked at him and then looked down..

Khushi: I, I want to go home..

ASR: are you ok?

She nods her head.

ASR: you want me to drop you?

She shakes her head negatively..

ASR: ok go..

She observed his face, his brown eyes, his straight nose, his thin lips, his sharp jaw line, slightly grown stubble and gelled, messy hair. He looked like a person only meant for painting. He looked like a perfect picture.. she took her things to leave..

ASR: Khushi, I want to give you something..

Khushi: hmm..

He took her drawing and gave her.

ASR(apologetically): sorry, it is crumpled. I dint know there was a painting behind the address..

Khushi: its ok.. its just a draft.. I will throw it away once the main picture is done..

ASR: u going to throw away this? .. if u don't mind can I keep this then after u are done..

Khushi: you like it a lot don't you.. never mind I will give you the main painting once I am done..

ASR(happily): what? Really?

She nods her head.

ASR: OWH GREAT! So what do you want in return? Money? No this painting is more worth it.. tell me what you want? anything.. I will give it to you..

Khushi: kuch nehi..

ASR: arrey aise kaise? Ok.. let me tell you.. from today onwards until you finish your internship I will protect you. I will not let anyone harm you..and if you need anything also you can tell me.

Khushi: really?

ASR: yes.. this is a Arnav Singh Raizada promise. Owh yea..and if you decide you wana have fun then you can look for me too.. you know bodily fun..?

Khushi just gave him the what the look and started walking then she paused. She turn and look at him..

Khushi: Arnav ji..

Arnav was beyond delighted when she addressed him like that..he felt warm..he looked at her tenderly

ASR: hmm.. what is it, khushi?..

Khushi: can I .. can I lend your body?
