Part-12:
At Cafe Bizz
5 minutes passed...
SILENCE...
10 minutes passed...
SILENCE...
15 minutes...
Arnav coughed...yeah he broke the silence...he looked here and there...but Khushi...then he talked...
Arnav: What would you like have??
Arnav looked at Khushi...who was fidgeting the corner of her scarf...biting her lips...looking here and there...lost...as if she was sitting for a board exam...and she didn't hear what Arnav asked...Arnav looked at her amused with side smile...he shook his head...
Arnav: Khushi...(a little louder to get her attention..)
Khushi: huh??!!
Khushi was looking at him as if she got caught of cheating in the board exam...she just gave him nervous smile...
Arnav slightly smiled back...
Arnav: We should order something...
Khushi: I already had a coffee...
Arnav was a little taken back...he didn't expect this answer at least...
Arnav: I didn't have anything yet...
Khushi: Sure...you can order...(not looking at him at all..)
Arnav raised his one eyebrow...this is going to be something very unusual for him he thought...
Arnav: You sure...you are going to company me for coffee??
Khushi looked at him nervously...what was she doing?? she was supposed to talk to him about why he called her here...she was confused but all confident...but now she is not only confused but also nervous..!! She saw Arnav was looking at her curiously...
Khushi: Sure I will...
Arnav nodded with a small smile and called a waiter to order...
Arnav: A black coffee for me...and for mam...
Arnav looked at Khushi questioning...
Khushi: A tea...(with a small smile..)
Then again a weird silence took over...again both of them looking around here and there but each other...
Arnav: So what you do except volunteering at orphanage??
Khushi looked at him with wide eyes...yeah he broke the silence...he initiated a conversation...but with this question?? How can she answer him?? That what is her actual profession...no she can't reveal it to him...when she doesn't even know him properly...well she doesn't even why she is here...so she thought of changing the topic in her own way...
Khushi: Ummm..later..
Arnav looked at her amused with one eyebrow raised...
Khushi: Why am I here??
Arnav: Coz I called you...(he answered little mysteriously...when he noticed she is being little mysterious..)
Khushi: And why you called me?? (she looked at him expectantly..)
Arnav: Just to know you...
Khushi: huh??
Khushi looked at him with confusion with her wide eyes...she actually didn't expect this answer from him...she looked at him...
Arnav didn't know why was he behaving like this? He was actually behaving like a teenager who has come to his 1st date...he was silent for the most of the time when he had asked her to meet him so that he can tell her everything...he is a confident man...he had been with so many women before...but now he is behaving like a wannabe in front this girl...
Arnav composed himself...and just came to the point...
Arnav: I met your Mom...
Khushi looked at him with a shocked expression...she didn't know how to react on this news...
Arnav: Surprised??
Khushi nodded innocently not able to voice her thought...
Arnav: Then..the other news is...Shashi Gupta...I mean Shashi uncle...your Dad...
Khushi was speechless...she was just not understanding anything the man sitting in front of her saying...she looked at him intently...trying to remember if she knows him any way...any how...but she just can't remember anything...she only remembered her father...her mother...her sister...but someone who knows both her mother and father...who could be this person??
Khushi was still looking at the man in front of her...when Arnav again broke the silence that was floating around them...
Arnav: Khushi??
Khushi: Who are you?? (she just asked him this question...with little disbelief...with little confusion...with little expectation...when she heard him saying that name which she was expecting least...)
Arnav: Malik...
Khushi widened her eyes..."Malik"...the word was echoing in her mind...she was literally in lost of word...so many things were coming in her mind...her past...her dad...his stories about the Maliks...his Chotte Malik...she thought a little loud...when she saw Arnav was looking at her to hear something from her...
Arnav: Yeah...Chotte Malik...
Khushi: Ji??
Arnav: This is the name by which you recognize me, isn't it??
Khushi didn't say anything...just looking down...nodded a little...she didn't know how to react...as she learned from her father that they are Royals...and objects need to behave in a very civil way...so she just couldn't think more and started looking down...when she heard him calling her name...
Arnav: Khushi??
Khushi: Ji??
Arnav: Anything wrong??
Khushi just nodded her head negatively looking down...
Arnav got confused on her retreating way...he knew she'd be surprised...but he just couldn't understand why was she trying to avoid looking at him...at first this girl was nervous...then she was surprised...now she is afraid...not afraid is she...but hesitated...yeah she is hesitated to look at him...he scrunched his eyebrows with irritation...when the waiter came with the orders...
Waiter: Sir your black coffee...and Mam your Tea...
Arnav nodded...and Khushi looked at the waiter to say "thank you" when she heard Arnav again called her...she just looked at him normally...forgetting about her previous manner for the Royals...
Arnav: What?? (asking her about her fear or hesitation..)
Khushi: Ji?? (not getting why he called her..)
Arnav: Khushi...(as if he warned her to open up..)
Khushi: Chotte Malik...(with wide eyes..)
Arnav looked at her amused...did she called him with that name?? But why?? He doesn't like to addressed with this name..because he doesn't belong to these maliks anymore...but he had to tell it to her so that she could know who he actually was...never mind...So he corrected...
Arnav: Arnav...
Khushi: Ji??
Arnav looked at her confused face...Oh God this girl...what is she?? Why so confused?? She didn't seem this much confused on their first meet...well they didn't have any chat...but sometimes before when they entered the cafe...thinking all these Arnav sighed looking down...then again looked at Khushi's confused face but innocent face...
Arnav: Arnav...
Khushi: Ji??
Arnav looked here and there...trying to control his laugh at the innocence of this girl...trying to keep his face straight...he looked at her again...then declared with clarity...
Arnav: Its Arnav Khushi...only Arnav...not Chotte Mailk...
Khushi: But...(cut by Arnav)
Arnav: No...Call me Arnav...Or else you won't get to know why I called you here...
Khushi made a baby face...as if she was denied for a ice-cream...Arnav was still looking at her for her reply...but only to get a nod in affirmative...on which Arnav couldn't help but smile...The great ASR smiled...this girl is really something...
