Part-17:
Its been about 5 days Arnav's birthday...Arnav and Khushi returned from their secret trip...when they reached to their respected home everybody wanted to know where they actually went...and this "everybody" included Payal at GH...and Akash, Anjali at RM...Aman and Lavanya at AR office...as all of them knew they didn't have any project at Palampur...and thanks to Arnav and Khushi's most efficient PA Suzy...who helped them to clear the cloud about this trip...that AR never had any client or meeting at Palampur...
Though Akash knew about Arnav and Khushi...and about their mental turmoil...but he never missed the chance to join Anjali while teasing Arnav about the lie...on the other hand...Payal was doing her job very securly as she know Khushi can backfire on her with her man, Akash...sometimes she really wished that she would have another sister or brother to join her...Lavanya and Aman didn't know anything about their trip...except the fact they went for one...Lavanya was very curious to know about Khushi's secret man and her sex life...at same time Aman ignored the whole matter...as he knew he will never get a decent answer from the great ASR...
At AK office
The preparation for the Fashion show was in full swing...all the AK stuffs were really busy doing their job to make it as perfect as they can...Arnav and Lavanya were checking out the their guest lists and the business associates...Arnav was very strict about the reputation of AK...and Lavanya was the goddess of PR...so both of them were busy with the invitation...and promotion...
Aman was looking after the finance department...which was giving him a tough time...cost cutting...his main job was at the verge of sinking...he was damn upset about the money he was investing for the show...and Arnav was having a tough time to make him understand that its normal...and its not the first time they are doing a show...but this time its bigger than the previous one...Aman was damn confused about Arnav...this is first time he is just spending money like nothing...AK has an associate for this fashion show...but he is not bothering about Singhanias at all...only he knows what he is upto...
The design department was under control of Khushi...she was happy with the work of the interns and designers...as she put her own thought and imagination in every piece of creation...but she was not happy with the model selected for the show...especially about Natasha...she didn't know why...but Arnav was adamant about her for participating in the show...they also had a little fight over this topic...but Arnav as usual made his point out...and convinced Khushi to keep her...but Khushi was also carbon copy of Arnav when it comes to the characteristic of stubbornness...she decided not to put Natasha with front row models...and Arnav was aware of this...he just smiled in his mind with the childishness of Khushi...
Karan Singhania, who was representing the Singhanias in the fashion show, was not really involved with the main event...even he didn't know why...but Arnav didn't let him take any major responsibilites of the event...he was always there in the meeting...in any decision making job...Arnav took all his advices and ideas for the events...but did what he thought was right...Arnav didn't let Karan undertsand this disninterest towards him...he knew very well how delicate this situation was...the designers from Singhania's were working with Khushi...but Arnav made sure that he and Khushi chose the most of the designs made by AK designers...and most important of all...the showstopper dress was from AK designs...
Akash was visiting very often to AK these days...as Payal was at the production design...he was getting more and more time to spend with each other...by every passing day their love were blooming...and spreading all over the AK office...which irked Arnav a lot...but he never said anything...because of his over possessive filmy business partner...Khushi Kumari Gupta...she was hell bent to enjoy their romance around the office...according to her it was very sweet..!! only she knows why..!! sigh form Arnav...and Lavanya was again busy to tease them with their intimate moments...
In all of this...Akash and Arnav used to be very busy with some discussion which never gone unnoticed by Khushi...she asked Arnav several times...but he said he'll tell everything at right times...when Khushi asked Akash about it...he transferred the burden of question to Arnav...Akash asked Khushi to ask Arnav about it...then she suddenly felt she was going round and round with these two brothers...so she asked Payal...who was shocked to hear that Akash was discussing something with Aranv without her knowledge...well now after what happened that was not really Khushi's concerne...
Karan was being very friendly with Khushi...Khushi didn't reciprocate that exact same way...but she didn't refuse to be friendly with him...as he was now the associate of their fashioin event...and she didn't want to do anything which can threat reputation of AK...but Karan used to join her for lunch at cafetreria...invited her her for dinner twice...and every time Arnav somehow managed to steal Khushi from that Karan causing some meeting or family tea party...and Khushi enjoyed these extra caring stuffs from Arnav...as she always saw these traits of his only for his Mom and Di...some where inside Khushi felt special of her existence...while everyone at AK were busy discussing about the potential couple aka Khushi and Karan...here Arnav and Khushi were busy stealing glances and smiles looking at each other when they got chance...
After the trip to Palampur there was a change in their relation...they felt an ease between them which was not there before...which was helping them to come closer even after they didn't realize that...everyone around them were very well aware of their friendship...but their recent close proximity...their eye contact...were not unnoticed by Akash and Payal...even Arnav and Khushi were unaware of this proximity...Arnav as usual hiding his inner feelings through his ASR mode...and Khushi was still trying to define that undefined feelings for Arnav...but the most interesting part of all these confusion was...they were enjoying eachother's company a lot...may be more than before...but they never mentioned that trip anymore in these days...
At evening
At GH
Garima: do you think it right to talk to her now?? (looking tensed...and folding clothes on her bed...)
Shashi let a deep sigh...and looked at Garima moving his eyes from the report he was holding in his hands...
Shashi: yeah Garima...you know everything...and I want to see my both daughter settled in their life with their perfect partner...we are sure about Payal and Akash...but Khushi...she is a huge businessman no doubt...but still naive...she doesn't know how cruel can world be...
Garima sat beside her husband holding his hand very fondly with one hand...and caressed his cheek with another hand...tears were hiding under her eyelids...threatening to burst out anytime...
Shashi: till now Khushi has proved herself a successful businessman just because of Arnav...he was always there to help her...but life is not a business...I don't mind if Arnav holds her hand...but i wonder do they hold each other??
Garima: why don't we talk to Smita and Arun bhaisahab...
Shashi: I was thinking of talking to him...but sometimes i wonder...will they understand??
Garima: why won't they?? we know each other for so long...they won't misunderstand us...i believe..
Shashi: i really hope you are right...but before that we need to find out about Khushi...
Garima: she'll understand...
Shashi: i don't want to pressurize her for anything...its her life...but unfortunately my life is threatening...
Garima: we'll go for better treatment...you know it can be cured...
Shashi: but before that i need to settle my girls...(with a determined look)
**So here is the new update...its not a filler...it was needed to describe the whole situation around the characters...and base of the next track...
