Chapter 50

Finally when the phone had been ringing for a while Khushi with some strength pushed Arnav off her.

Khushi: Arnav please get that.

Arnav looked at her exasperated as he helped her stand straight and went to answer his phone to find it was only Aman confirming a few of meetings which had been fixed with the new clients. Arnav who was listening but his gaze was on his wife the whole time. Khushi could feel him gazing at her but didn't turn to look at him as she was still too busy picking out his suit. She picked out his black suit with a maroon shirt and matching tie. Once she had selected what he should wear Arnav had put his phone down and walked up right behind her. She could feel him right behind her but she didn't turn to look at him. He then moved his hand inside the cupboard and looked through her anarkali's and chudidaar's but realised she didn't have many sarees. He turned her around to face him while she placed his suit inside again.

Arnav: Khushi why is it that you don't have many sarees?

Khushi: Well I just don't. I am more used to anarkali's and chudidaar's. Why?

Arnav with a smirk: Do you know how beautiful you look in sarees?

Khushi couldn't help the blush that crept up on her face and the small smile that was playing on her lips. Arnav couldn't help but admire her beauty while Khushi was shying away.

Arnav still smiling and a twinkle in his eye: So Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada knows how to be shy?

Khushi looked back up at him and saw the love in his eyes. Arnav moved even closer and looked down at her. He placed his fingers under her chin before placing a kiss on her lips.

Arnav: Khushi.

Khushi: Hmmm

Arnav: You get ready soon. We need to leave for the office soon.

Khushi looked at him confused: But that day I stopped the catering work.

Arnav: No you haven't. I called him the next day saying you only needed a few days off.

Khushi looked at him surprised as tears glistened her eyes and she hugged her husband forgetting that he wasn't wearing a shirt. Arnav hugged her back while caressing her hair.

Arnav: Shhh! Khushi why you crying now?

Khushi pulled back and looked up at him with a smile that lit up her face. Arnav cupped her face and wiped her tears.

Arnav: That's better. That's the smile I love to see.

Khushi all of sudden realised she had hugged him like that and her eyes opened wide with her mouth in a perfect 'o' shape. Arnav looked at her, looked at what she was looking at and couldn't help the smirk on her face.

Arnav: Khushi you do realise that you have the right to hug me anytime as you are my wife?

Khushi looked at him, than back his muscular body then back up at him again before letting go. She turned around back to cupboard avoiding facing him. Arnav couldn't help the chuckle that left his lips thinking how innocent his wife really was. Khushi heard him but still couldn't turn to face him. She pulled out his suit handed it to him before going back into the washroom with a blue chudidaar to get dressed. Arnav changed into his suit then turned sat on his recliner and opened his laptop.

After five minutes Khushi came out avoiding his gaze and headed out to go downstairs to help with breakfast while leaving Arnav with a smirk on his face.

Once breakfast had been done Arnav started speaking to Akash about something. Akash then went to speak to Payal before they all left for the office.

Once there everyone started doing their own jobs.

Arnav went into his office and got onto the phone to one of his designers. He got off the phone after a while before calling Aman and making some other arrangements.

About an hour later NK called.

NK: Nannav you never told me what was going on with jijaji and why he was in your room?

Arnav had completely forgotten about the incident.

Arnav: Is there anyone around you at this moment?

NK: No I am calling from my room. No one is here.

Arnav: OK. Get yourself over here to AR.

NK: OK. I will see you there.

Arnav: Oh and NK make sure no one knows where you are going. Call me when you are outside the building. We can't be seen inside the building. I don't want Khushi or Akash involved. Not yet.

NK: What am I supposed to say where I am going?

Arnav shut his eyes as his temper was about to burst at his cousin being an idiot.

Arnav exasperated: I don't know. Tell them that you are visiting a friend who has arrived.

NK: Ok Nannav. I'll be there.

Arnav put the phone down and knew he also needed some background checking. He called Aman into his office. Aman came in.

Arnav: I need the number of a detective agency. One of the best and also I don't what no one and I mean no one to find out about this.

Aman just looked at his boss what was going on but knew not to pry. He went back to his desk to do what his boss had asked. Aman came in after a while handing him a name and number. Arnav called them up to set up a meeting.

It was about half an hour later when NK called him. Arnav picked up the phone and told NK to wait there. Arnav came out of the office and headed out. Khushi saw him walk out from where she stood in the canteen but thought nothing of it.

Arnav met NK and they headed towards a caf not far from the building. They walked in and ordered some coffee. Arnav made sure they sat at one of the corner booths where no one could hear their conversation. Once the waiter had served them their coffee's Arnav was contemplating about what to say and what not to say.

Arnav: NK I would like you to keep an eye on jijaji at home. Everything he does in the house I need to know.

NK was taken aback at Arnav's request.

NK: Nannav what's going on?

Arnav was still thinking about whether to say anything or not. He knew what he was asking was a bit much but he knew he didn't know certain facts what was he to say.

Arnav: Look NK you yourself caught Jijaji in my room going through my things. You even told me that you saw him going through my locker and the possibility him wanting to make a key. I need to know if he has made a copy and also what he does after that. I can't be at home all the time so I need eyes there but you cannot tell anyone about this. Our conversation is strictly private. No one at home can find out. As for what is going on I still don't know much so I can't tell you much. So do as I say and report only to me and only unless I am on my own. You got it.

NK just looked at his cousin not knowing what to say but saw the glare Arnav was giving him at that moment. So he left it at that and just did what he was told to do.

Once they had their coffee Arnav told NK he needed to start once jijaji got home but to be careful. NK left from there and Arnav went to his car calling aman on the way saying he had a meeting across the city and that he would be back in a while. Also he was told that once Payal had got there to take both Payal and Khushi to Akash's office as he knows why. Saying that he headed to his car and went to the detective agency.

He was outside a tall building in which many offices existed consisting of a lawyer's office, chartered accountants even a real estate agency in the building. He walked up to the board placed on the inside of the french doors and read it. Singh's detective agency was located on the fourth floor. He headed up using the elevator. He got off on the fourth level and walked up a long corridor when he came up a door with the name of the detective agency clearly written. He walked into the office to find a reception right in front of him. He told the receptionist that he had an appointment with Mr Singh. The reception pointed towards the end of the long hall at the door. Arnav walked straight to the door and knocked.

Mr Amit Singh: Come in

Arnav walked into a plush office white in colour with a semi-circular light oak desk in the corner of the room, a modern swivel chair where a man in what looked like in his early to mid-forties was sitting. The man got up to greet Arnav.

Mr Singh: Ahh! Mr Raizada please take a seat.

Arnav walks up to the chairs in front of him and takes a seat. He glances around the office. Next to the desk on the right was floor to ceiling windows along one side of the wall. Above the desk were the agencies certified licences. He could see photo frames on the desk giving the office a bit more of a homely feel. A bookcase on the left with what looked like office supply books, equipment buying manuals and others. Glancing behind him he saw a plush corner sofa in a cream colour while next to that along the back wall a glass wall case reaching almost to the ceiling with what looked like a lot of surveillance equipment.

Mr Singh: So what can we do for you Mr Raizada.

Arnav turned to look at the man who was looking at him intently. Arnav who had brought his bag with him took out a file which had Shyam's photo in it.

Arnav: I would like to have this man followed.

Mr Singh took the photo off Arnav and inspected the photo.

Mr Singh: Who is this?

Arnav: That is Shyam Manohar Jha my brother-in-law.

Mr Singh looked up at Arnav in shock wondering why he would want his own brother-in-law followed.

Arnav: Mr Singh I not only want him followed I need you to find out what you can about him from around last June. Where he was, what he did, who he spoke to everything including what he bought and his phone bills.

Mr Singh: May I ask why?

Arnav: at this moment Mr Singh I would not like to divulge that information. Also I will be paying a lot of money for this to be done a.s.a.p. I would like to also say what you find out about him only ever contact me. Here are my contact details.

Arnav handed him his card with his phone number to his mobile and also straight to his office phone.

Arnav: Also no one else can know about any of this. I mean none of my family.

Mr Singh: Don't worry Mr Raizada we will be very discreet in all of this. You have my personal assurance.

With that Arnav got up so did Mr Singh and they shock hands before Arnav left the office leaving a confused man wondering why.

Arnav got back to his office where he met Aman on the way to his office telling him that that Payal maam had arrived and her and Khushi maam were both with Akash while the designer was on her way. Arnav turned and headed towards Akash's office. Once in there both Payal and Khushi looked at him wondering what was going on. Earlier Payal had been told to make sure lunch was done and she had eaten along with the rest of the family before coming while Khushi had been told she was not to go home today by Aman.

Aman came in about five minutes later with one of his designers. Her name was Neeta. She was a woman in her early thirties, her hair up in a chignon bun, a professional jacket tightly fitting in grey with a pencil skirt up to her knees, a sky blue blouse slightly seen under her blazer showing off her neckline, a silver locket on her neck with long silver earrings in a spiral shape plus a sleek looking pair of glasses making her look all the professional she was. She was holding a black cover A4 sized notepad with a pencil in the holder on the bind of the notepad.

Arnav asked her sit on the sofa a back of the office where both Khushi and Payal had been sitting while Akash and Arnav had taken the chairs and were sitting on either side of sofa.

Arnav: Neeta you have seen the photos of mine and Akash's wife?

Neeta just nodded a yes looking at her boss wondering why she had been called to his office urgently.

Arnav: Well as Meera at that time only had been told to make one saree each for both I would like for you to design some more using whatever material you need but I also asked if you could bring along our saree collections we have had over the past year.

Neeta: ASR all the clothes at this very moment are heading towards the outside area of the changing rooms.

Arnav: Good. So take the girls there and get their measurements because just like the fashion show there are possibly going to many parties Akash and I will have to attend with our wives> so I need to make sure everyone looks immaculate according to AR standards.

Khushi and Payal just looked at one another then at Arnav. Arnav saw them staring.

Arnav: What?

Khushi: But…

Arnav: No but's in this. I know both you are not use to all this but this is part and parcel of being part of the Raizada family. Lets go. Neeta can I see what clothes you have bought along.

Arnav stood up to leave followed quickly by Neeta. Akash also got up but saw neither Khushi nor Payal were moving.

Akash: Don't worry you two. He means well.

Payal and Khushi just gave Akash a weak smile and followed him out.

Once they reached the outside area of the changing rooms Arnav was already inspecting the clothes when his eyes fell on a beautiful orange and peach colour saree with pink and gold colour embroiderery and a metallic silver border with a matching sleeveless peach colour blouse with the metallic border. He took it out of the collection and went straight towards Khushi. He handed it to her. Khushi looked at the saree then up at Arnav who was looking at Neeta.

Arnav: Neeta could you make sure this particular saree which I have just handed to Khushi is a perfect fit. If not make the necessary adjustments.

Arnav turned to look at his wife who had a shock look on her face.

Arnav: Oh and Khushi no arguments.

Saying that he left leaving everyone just gaping at him.

Khushi to herself: Laad governor kahike. Abhi tak logo ko order dena tak nahi bholte chahe who insaan unki biwi hi kyu na ho.

Akash also left leaving all three women to it.

Payal looked at the clothes on the rack while Khushi went into one of the changing rooms where she got changed into the saree. She looked at herself in the mirror on the wall once she was done to see how beautiful the saree really was although she was feeling self-conscious about the sleeves. Suddenly her phone started ringing in her bag. She took out her phone to find Arnav was calling.

Arnav: Khushi will you stop with trying to pull your sleeves down.

Khushi took the phone away from her ear and started at her phone. How did he know? she thought. She put the phone back to her ear only to find Arnav chuckling over the phone.

Khushi: Are you outside watching me?

Arnav feeling offended: Of course not. Your sister Payal and my designer just happen to be there. That I will leave to do at home. In the privacy of our bedroom.

Khushi's eyes opened wide and her mouth in a perfect 'o' shape as Arnav's works sank in. Arnav could just imagine what Khushi must be looking like and couldn't help the smirk creeping on his.

Khushi: Aap….Aap….Yeah….

Arnav: What happen Khushi? Bolti kyu band hogay? That's a first for you.

Khushi took her phone away from her ear and put it down while all she could hear was DHAK DHAK DHAK DHAK.

Over in the office Arnav heard the phone been clicked off and he couldn't help but laugh which shocked all of his employees hearing there boss laugh.
