please send me pms too

Khushi can't help smiling.

Arnav left the room with a liberated mind and a captivated heart.

What was upcoming for Khushi now?

To be the next one in

A-list?

Or

Hit-list?

Khushi's POV

He is no doubt a damn intelligent personality.

That's why he is today the most popular youth icon in the glamour world.

Well no business. I had become so freaked out. I really needed a change.

So, the accident was for good purpose only. It brought me here.

Well, life is full of possibilities and new opportunities.

Let me see what is upcoming next.

MEETING WITH KRIYA TULSIAN POSTPONED NEXT WEEK.

**

Some unknown number again..

I asked sometime for some moments..and still you don't have time for me. It was a big misunderstanding. I had loved you and only you Khushi.

- your biggest admirer

**

Love you CHASMISH.

Though you don't wear them.

I had sent you an invitation few weeks back on my cousin's engagement..but you didn't come.

I want you to get introduced Khushi.

How long will you be angry on me?

I love you jaan.

Yours Mohit.

**

Khushi: uff..i know..he is calling. Why the hell is he still obsessed with me? I just hate this. Dammit. I don't want him..I have no interest in him..no more..never..I can't let my PAST ever call me back..

zor ka jhatka???? lagaaa...laggaaa..lagaa...SHOCK lagaaa!!!

****

Arohi: Annu c'mon.. how long will you take in trial room?? Are you changing clothes or sleeping there??

Aradhana came out of the trial room wearing a beautiful dress..and she slipped..

Arohi was about to hold her..but someone helped..he was helping still..he hold her in his arms..both of them lost in each other..just for moments.

Aradhana felt like she was in seventh heaven.. she was in his arms..in Mann Singh Khurrana's arms..

She felt like to stop the time here and forever..

But..so good moments don't stay too long..

MSK helped her stand and looked at her strangely..as if he had known her for long time..and as if suddenly she had got lost without any trace..and now he had find her back..

But..MSK didn't utter any more word..and left very abruptly and awkwardly..

Aradhana couldn't decipher the queer look in his face, then the disappointment and disapproval.

Aradhana's POV

Why did he look at me as if he knows me? Why did I feel he was finding someone else in me?? Was he looking at me?? Or wanted to look at someone through me?? Why did he smiled at first?? Then why did he looked at me in some disbelief and that something wrong is going on and left..what is this going on??

Arohi: OMG!! Annu??? You were lost somewhere..hmm..hmm..uh..huh..so..now..someone..ahem..ahem..

Aradhana: shut up..Arohi..!! nothing. I felt strange!!

Arohi: oh..hoo..strange..huh..
hmm..okay..okay..strange..hmm..mm..!!

But for the first time Aradhana didn't reply back..nor she joined in Arohi's laughter.

For first time she felt no taste in paanipoori..

Usually when people fall in love..they seem very happy..but why was she feeling so bad.

It's not that he had never seen him before.

But the way he looked at her today..made her perplexed..she don't know why..she felt there was some strangeness in his look..something odd..

But what?? She don't know..

Aradhana and Arohi came back to Shantivan.

Arohi for the first time saw Aradhana more into thoughts than talks..she didn't feel good about this SILENT avatar of Aradhana. But no matter what she was talking..Aradhana ended the topic and went back to stillness.

****

Why do you think MSK looked so strangely in her eyes??

What made Aradhana get lost in thoughts???

****

I forgot who complained!!! But I remembered she said that I have given only one scene about Aradhana and MSK. So here it was for her!!

She disconnected the call.

She dug her head down in her knees.. and tears started flowing down..

Her first crush..was really crashed down..when it hit reality.

The most handsome dude among her brother's friends.

Though Karan always forbade her to be near Mohit..but she can't resist herself.

Mohit who was always busy with his some work..which he never disclosed made Khushi curious more.

She knew Amrita and Mohit worked together. But neither she nor Karan was aware of what kind of work.

She remembered those moments spend with him..and how she came to know he was a deceiver..

She remembered that day.

Khushi Gupta, being the curious cat thought of playing detective.

Moreover, she decided to surprise Mohit also, lest she knew that she herself would be in surprise, rather shock.

All her thoughts snapped..

Tring.. .. tring.. .. tring..

70+ likes????? Will I get??? hope I am not disappointed!!

hit the LIKE button please!!!

5 seconds only!!!

*********************

and I have started three stories. please have a look.😊

All her thoughts snapped..

Tring.. .. tring.. .. tring..

Three times the phone ringed.

Finally she picked up the call.

Lav: hello, Ms. Gupta.

Khushi: oh, hi Mrs. Jha. I am working on your project.

Lav: I visited your office today. They said me you faced an accident last night. I was so worried.

Khushi: no..it was just a minor one. I am fit and fine. Actually I am on leave for some days.

Lav: ohh..hope you a speedy recovery.

Khushi: thanks once again, I will call you back. Is this your number?

Lav: yeah Ms. Gupta. Last day I forgot to give my contacts. I was in a hurry, he was getting bail.

Khushi: bail?

Lav: nothing. Would wait for my job letter. Thank you. Ok, bye.

Before Khushi could ask she cut the call.

Khushi was confused.

****

Lav: oh..s***. What did I do!

Mallika: what happened Ammu?

Lav: nothing..nothing..!!

Lav started pacing her room.

Dr. Mallika was burning with curiosity.

Mallika's POV

What happened? Why is she so tensed? I had seen her tensed when Khusboo's body was not found and another time when Karan had figured her out.

I really don't understand what is her problem with this Gupta family?

****

Khushi was lost in thoughts.

Khushi's POV

If Shyam was getting bail, that means he was in jail all these years. And when Mr. Raizada had already sent him to jail, then why was she working there? She told me that to save her husband Shyam from the claws of Mr. Raizada she asked for my favour. Moreover she also asked me to keep her marriage a secret. If it was a secret then how come Mr. Raizada knows about it? Should I talk to him in this matter?

No.

He might try to manipulate me.

Should I talk to Akash Singh Raizada?

Yes.

He might be a great help to me in this matter.

But if some problem arises? I hope not.

Well, enough of talks. Let me check what has been sent for a week.

Let me ask Di. She might be aware of this.

Khushi saw a man passing by.

Khushi: hello.

The man stopped.

Khushi:Will you please call Anjali Di.

Akash: yeah. Wait a minute.

Khushi: Excuse me,are you Akash Singh Raizada?

Akash: yeah. Wait, are you Aradhana's friend Khushi?

Khushi: for the time being, yes.

Akash gave a sceptical look.

Khushi: umm, actually I am Khushi Gupta, owner of Rose Boutique and also related with SG group.

Akash: hmm. So we are friends as well as rivals.

Khushi: yes. But for this week, only friends.

I heard from Anna about your engagement. Congratulations.

Akash: thank you. Khushi?

Khushi: don't be so uncertain. You can call me by name, be it professional or personal.

Akash: yeah, thanks. Well you asked for Di a long time back. Let me call her.

Khushi's POV

Cheerful man. Resourceful too. Seems to be the shadow of Mr. Raizada. Whatever he will do, the power is in Mr. Raizada's. I don't think, I will be able to utilise or not.

Khushi's thoughts were dismissed hearing Arnav's voice.

The voice was coming from Arnav's room.

..What the..

Why?

You have to

..I want it now..

Now..

Now means now..

Else you will be FIRED.

No, he was not talking to her or anybody in the household.

He was talking in his Bluetooth.. ( with Aman ).

{{Though few of you know where Aman works now and under whom..!!

Ok..ok..enough kidding..those who don't know..had missed out..leave it..anyways continue..}}

Khushi: hai Devi Maiyya..

He is really ASR. Mr. Annoying Shouting Raizada

Does he talk so loud? Uff..

Someone tapped her shoulder from behind.

Khushi turned to see his cheerful elder sister.

Anjali: not with everyone. Only with Aman.

Khushi: oh.

{{it was Khushi's good luck that Anjali had not heard ASR!!}}

Di where is my luggage?

Where are my clothes and all stuff?

Anjali: wait..wait..!!

Slow..slow..Khushi-ji.

Anjali showed her luggage.

She opened it.

Everything she needed was present there.

Mr. Shashi Gupta was a caring and also a very responsible father.

Khushi knew it was her father who had taken the trouble of packing all this.

Anjali: Khushi-ji, if you don't mind..

Khushi: you can ask anything Di. But before that..please stop this "ji".

I am not elder to you. so don't show so much respect.

Anjali: c'mon..even people call Parle-"G" !!

Khushi: hee..hee.. so I am a biscuit?? Hee..hee

Anjali: no..no..ee..just kidding.

Khushi: you remind me of my own Di.

Anjali: you have a sister?

Khushi: I had. She has died. We had a large family.

Anjali: sorry. I didn't intend to hurt you.

Khushi: it is ok.. life do have up and downs. Di?

Anjali: hmm.

Khushi: first you are going to call me Khushi. Only Khushi.

Anjali: okay.

Anjali was feeling bad for hurting her.

Khushi tried to cheer her up.

Khushi: I was planning to go for some retail therapy.

Anjali smiled.

Khushi: But, now I am feeling hungry.

Anjali: wait..for five minutes.

She went away..but returned within 30 seconds.

Khushi was taking out her diary, her i-pod.

Anjali: but I don't know what you eat?

Khushi: anything Di.

Anjali: thanks. Actually in our house two to three types of food is cooked.

Khushi: it is already 1p.m. and I had some soup and juice there. Yikes! Diet-stuff I had.

Anjali: so, rice, chicken, kali daal and fruit raita would do?

Khushi: it's fine Di. I will love it.

Anjali: ok. Come to the dining hall, after five minutes.

Khushi: Di, I will eat after I get freshened up. Let me take bath.

Khushi went away.

****

5 minutes..10 minutes..15 minutes

But Khushi didn't come.

Anjali was worried.

Anjali's POV

What happened now?

She said she will be coming soon.

Had she fainted??

Ohh..no!! let me check.

****

What has happened in these 15 minutes??

Arnav was feeling hot and he wanted to take a shower.

He was all over in foam and bubbles..

He turned on the shower.

But, the water supply in his bathroom was suddenly not working.

He started shouting..

Hariprakash...

Getting no response he came out wearing a towel.

Khushi was passing by.

She heard Arnav shouting.

She was already irked with Arnav's loud scowls and she was fuming!!

She entered into Arnav's room without knocking..

****

I think now..all have guessed what happened???

hope...I will get more than 70+ likes!!!!

don't be a miser for saving five seconds!!!

hit the LIKE button...please..

buddiesss...how is the new name for ASR???

and did you like the SHOCK ???

and read between the lines about Khushi-Lav-Mallika..

hints hidden there!!!

She entered into Arnav's room without knocking..

****

Anjali hurried towards guest room.

{{ Anjali is not cripple here at all. I don't want Anjali to be a sympathetic, nagging creature.}}

****

(thanks for the picture dumas..) this bathroom scene is dedicated to you..had been thinking to use your pictures from long time!!!

Khushi banged!!

Yes, she banged with her Mr. Annoying Shouting Raizada.

Khushi stepped back immediately and closed her eyes.

Arnav was shocked!!

He forgot to say his "WHAT THE".

Khushi kept her eyes shut and said everything in a go.

Khushi: I am so sor sorry..ple please am sorry. I was angry with yo..your shouts and so I ..so I came..bbut..bbut..I didn't know..you..you.. without..clothes..like this..ro.. ro..roami..ming.

And she continued her chatter.

****

Anjali came and saw Khushi standing at the door of Arnav's room.

She was clutching the sides of her top and was speaking nothing sensible, moreover her eyes were shut.

She was about to call Khushi.

Suddenly her eyes went to Arnav, who was coming from the direction of Aradhana's room.

Arnav gestured her to be quiet.

Anjali was baffled. She had no clue..what the hell was going on.

Arnav resumed his position at the doorstep.

Yes, that position when Khushi last saw him and had shut her eyes.

Arnav was fully clothed now and had his towel around his neck.

Arnav: Khushi..open your eyes.

Khushi was still in her blabbering mode..

Khushi: hai..devi maiiyya..no Devi..Maiyya..chhi..chhii..you..you..please..please be normal..chhiii..wearing..chhii..chhii..

Arnav was having fun seeing Khushi talk.. and that too nonsense.. .. her full face had reddened and specially her nose..and moreover eyes were shut!!

Anjali have had enough and she couldn't keep her mouth shut anymore.

Anjali: Khuushiii .. ..

Khushi was taken aback at Anjali's voice and presence..and her eyes were almost popping out seeing Anjali there and her mouth was like a big "O" shaped seeing a clothed, bathed Arnav Singh Raizada.

By God's grace she luckily didn't faint this time.

(please ignore the mangalsutra and stuff..)

She felt herself like a fool in front of Anjali.

She went away in the guest room.

She double checked the water system.

She locked the door of the room and went to take a bath.

****

Meanwhile,

Arnav was thinking about Khushi. How cute she looked.

Suddenly he remembered the lady's words.

" save Khushi or destroy Lavanya completely"

Could it be possible that Khushi give him some hint??

And dammit..he lost the pic.

He heard Anjali's voice.

It was time for lunch.

****

Aradhana meanwhile came along with Arohi.

"The two chatterboxes will be back by now".. Arnav thought while he walked towards the dining table.

But Arnav was wrong. There were not only two voluble people.

The whole dining table was bustling. Mami, Nani and even his Anjali Di, all were talking and all the attention was showered on Khushi. Aradhana and Arohi were like spice to that chitchat.

He felt he was in a fish market.

He believed that so many talks will surely if not make him lost his appetite will make him go insane.

He pulled his chair angrily to make his presence felt but poor Arnav, no one noticed him even.

But he was hungry and he doesn't want to show off his temper with empty stomach..it will be of no good use.

But soon, the voices died down and a peace prevailed.

Everyone finished their lunch and went back to their respective rooms or to do their works.

****

Few things was noticed by Aradhana and Co. !!

Aradhana (Anna) and Arohi was gossiping on that only.

It was really a spicy topic for them.

Arohi: yeah, Annu..I swear.

Anna: you don't need to. I also saw.

Arohi: I hope Arnav bhaiyya's number will come now.

Anna: aww..but after Di and Rahul bhaiyya's marriage.

Anjali was passing by..but hearing Rahul's name she couldn't hold her back.

Anjali: what are you talking about??

Anna: what Di?? Nothing Di!!

Anjali: I just heard you two were talking about marriage.

Anna: talking about whose marriage??

Anjali: that is what I want to know, who is the girl??

Aradhana's POV

Pheww..just got saved by a whisker!!

Anna: yeah..there is no girl and so we were thinking with whom we can fix him up!!

Anjali: ohh.

Anjali's face looked more relieved than any other thing..

****
