Part-19
At AK office
There were some gasps...when the showstopper dress came out...hugging the most beautiful model of AK...Samira...she was looking beautiful...and the dress was adding some more to her beauty...everyone clapped...
"Ok guys...thats it..!! We are ready to rock.." Khushi exclaimed...and the whole studio turned to see her...everyone in AK was happy to see the most exclusive bridal collection of the season...they knew...it is going to give a very tough competition in the market...every emplyee was congratualting each other for the creation...and hoping best for the show...which is going to happen tomorrow..!!
Arnav and Karan entered the studio to see happy faces...everyone was wishing Khushi best of luck...for her hard work...and Khushi was thanking all the designers who gave life to her thought...just when she turned to see Arnav and Karan standing at the door...Khushi left others and moved to those two men... she stood in front of them...with her dazzling smile...
"You are superb Khushi...I am really lucky to work with you...hope tomorrow will be one of your best days...", moving towards Khushi to give a hug, Karan showed his emotions...when Khushi just put her hand to stop him on his way...and gave a warm smile forwarding her hand to shake...
"Khush...", came a husky voice...
Khushi: Arnie...
Khushi moved her eyes to the source...her eyes just glittered her happiness...she just left Karan's hand...and hug Arnav...with all her heart...closing her eyes to capture the moment...to get sink in the moment...when she thought about her conversation with her dad...
*Flashback*
Shashi: what about Arnav?? be truthful...my eyes can't get cheated...
Khushi looked at her father...in all these days...after spending some unforgettable moment with Arnav on his birthday...she realized lots of things...though she never shared these things with anyone...but today...she'll be truthful to her dad...
Khushi: Dad...I don't know what to name it...(looking down at the grass...)
Shashi: what are you saying beta??(looking concerned..)
Khushi looked down for a moment...then again looked at him...so many emotions playing in her dove like eyes...which Shashi read just then when she looked into his eyes...to show her confidence...the confidence which went vain...
Khushi: Dad...I didn't went to Palampur for any meeting...
Shashi: then?? (raising his eyebrows with amusement..)
Khushi: Dad...you trust me right?? (she asked him with a little shaky voice...as if he'll accuse her for not telling the truth on first place..)
Shashi: Khushi...I am asking you question...don't question back...and yes...I trust my doll...(with assuring node..)
Khushi took a deep breath before she could tell everything to her Dad...what she feel...what she observes...what she sees...what she wants...what she cherishes...
Khushi: Dad...we went to Palampur to celebrate his birthday...but there...I realized...that I want him to be happy...with me...I want to be with him...everywhere...I love it when he calls me "Khush"...I love it when he snatches me from Karan...I love it when his family considers me as their own...
Khushi was stating her thoughts looking nowhere...and her Dad was observing her very keenly...
Khushi: I love it when he wakes up in the morning just because of me...when he shows his possessiveness...whe he gives his undivided attention to me even being in a crowd...but I hate it when he talks to those models...(frowned liitle with the thought of that Natasha)..Dad...
Khushi looked at Shashi...with confused eyes...
Shashi: Do you love him beta?? (with an expectant expression..)
Khushi: Is this love dad?? what I feel for him...?? (searching for the answers on her Dad's face...)
Shashi just chuckled on her daughter's innocence...yeah she is businessman...but so naive...
Shashi: I also like Arnav for you...
Khushi looked at him quizically...what did he just say?? he likes Arnie...but for me?? for ME?! ME!!
Shashi: go to sleep...goodnight doll...
Shashi kissed her forehead...and went to his room...with a smile on his face...
And Khushi just sat there for long time...coming to the conclusion...that she has a very strong feelings for Arnav...which is more than friendship...more than liking...may be very near to Love...but not actually Love...or...
Khushi pushed her thought...and went to her room...to go in a deep slumber...
*Flashback Ends*
These two strong arms...around her...holding her tightly in his embrace...so warm...so soothing...why didn't I feel these before...Khushi thought closing her eyes...a wide smile on her lips...inhaling his scents...which felt so divine...so erotic?!...when Aman came in the studio shouting his complain to break her trance... Arnav and Khushi broke their hug...looked at Aman...to know why is he shouting like this...
Aman: I am going to resign...(in threatening...but funny voice..)
Arnav and Khushi looked at him quizically...then both looked at each other...shrugged their shoulders...as if it is a regualr threat...
Aman: what?? won't you ask me?
Arnav: what?? (raised his one eyebrow..)
Aman: that why I want to resign...(with a sad...and irritated voice..)
Arnav just opened his mouth to say something but closed it immediately...looked at nothing...when Khushi sighed...
Khushi: If we won't ask...you are not gonna say...right?? (with a straight face...trying to stop her giggles...)
Aman: How can you say this?? I am the Head of Finance of this company...one of the board members...and you are saying this?? (looking at them saucer sized eyes...)
Khushi: oohhh...stop Drama King...
Arnav: shoot Aman...(glared at Aman...)
Aman: Akash withdrawn some money from the company accounts...and without asking ME...!!
Arnav: so??
Aman: So?? (his eyes went bigger this time..) he didn't ask me why is he taking money from the company account...this is not the rule...
Arnav: Rule?? (scrunching his eyebrows with confusion..)
Khushi was just staring at them...and Karan got busy with models and other employees...as he knew he didn't have anything to do with these things...
Aman: yes...at 1st he'll have apply for it...then Me...Aman Mathur will investigate about his need for money...then when I'll sign it...it will go to you...mean Arnav Singh Raizada...
Arnav: uugghh..enough...i know..!!
Aman: what?? you know?? (a surprised expression appeared on his face..)
Arnav: of course...I made these rules..!! (with *douh* sign on his face...)
Khushi: Me also..!! (hitting on Arnva's arm...to remind him that she was also one of the policy makers...)
Arnav: aaa..
Aman: then how can he break them?? He is your brother..!! No..I am not gonna spare him...
Arnav: I asked him to do this...and I can do anything...I am owner of this company...(stated as a matter of fact..)
Khushi: Who told you you are the owner of this company...(frowned at Arnav...)
Arnav got amused at her behavior...the tigress...he thought...but came back to reality within a second...
Arnav: I mean...Maximum share holder...
*BOOM*
Everyone looked at the way of the source...Arnav, Khushi, Aman, Karan and every other person rushed out from the studio to see from where this sound came...a guard came to their way...who said there was a blast...Arnav and Khushi looked horrified at the news...Arnav pushed Khushi to go out of the office immediately...when she refused to go out without him...he asked her to go...he'll be there in a few minutes with all the employees...as he can't take risk of their life...so Khushi went out...
There was a huge rush...every person got panic...they were running for their lives...pushing each other...not caring about anyother except themselves...Karan is helping everyone to come out from the office...making sure no one is inside the studio...or office...Aman also helped others...
They were out of the office when police came...with two bomb squad officers...they searched the whole office...and came out to inform Arnav that there was no bomb in the office...it was just a cracker type bomb...it is mainly used to scare people...but to kill them...Arnav was shocked...but also confused...the crackers...this is why there was no fire signal...but who can do this?? and why?? and also just before one day of the show?? what kind of damage has happened?? he'll have to find out...
The rest of the day passed very swiftly after the fake blast event...all the employee joined at work without any hesitation when Arnav confirmed their safety...as it was the last day before the show...the biggest bridal show of the year...Arnav and Khushi was checking all the last minutes preparation...Lavanya was still out for some promotional campaign...Karan was busy with some of his business associates...making sure that nothing will go wrong tomorrow...Aman was engrossed in his calculation...
Akash arrived at AK office with Shyam...just after everyone left from the office...they sat in Arnav's cabin...discussing the whole blast event...and the Karan Singhania matter...after giving some counter point to each other's statement...they all come to a conclusion...that this event involved someone from AK...which tensed Arnav a lot more...
Then Shyam revealed that Karan Singhania...he has a very bad record in business...though the business is his Dad's...but he is running it right now...and he does almost everything to win a deal...sometimes he also corrupted some other companies to win back a lost deal...Arnav frowned at all these information...he felt cheated...but more than that he felt like a fool...that how did he miss these pieces of information...then when he thought of the meeting they had...how did Karan agreed for all the terms and conditions of the deal...when Arnav asked about the records they had about the company...Shyam answered that...once the company was in a good position...but now its a sinking ship...Karan has taken loan from the market...and if the tomorrow's show fail by any way...he'll loose everything...and about the records...Karan has tampered them...he had been behind the curtain for a long time...he had been the mastermind for all the mishaps happened with those companies...but he revealed himself for this venture with AK...which Arnav already doubted...
After the business thing...Shyam put light on Karan's personal life...according to him...Singhanias are not bad...but Karan...he is not trustworthy at all...he was in USA...and was linked with lots of women...after coming India he was admitted in a rehab center...some girls filed cases against him for sexual harassment...but with the power of money he dogged them...and now he is being a very nice guy in front of the whole world...
After hearing all these...Arnav just muttered one thing...gritted his teeth in anger...
"Not in front of the whole world...but my Khush..."
When Shyam and Akash exchanged a knowing smile...
**Here I am with a new update...well let me tell you...lots of dramas are on the way...and also some romance...when...and how...well you'll have to wait for that...
