Chapter 22
Khushi sat with all the files of her employees. Dressed in a navy shalwar kameez she had her hair in a plait. Even though she always looked smart she had put extra effort to look pretty. Taking the first file she flicked through it.
"Payal, call Deepak Verma up"
Payal nodded her head and began making a call to his desk. After a few minutes Deepak knocked on the door.
"Come in" she said slightly nervous. As soon as she looked at his shoes she began making a strange face. Deepak was in his late 30's dressed in grey baggy trousers and wearing an uncle type of shirt. He looked on worried why his employer had called him.
*This can't be my Nannav* she thought.
"Yes Mam?" he asked nervously. Khushi made her employees all dry in the mouth and their hearts pumping like mad, that was the effect of Khushi Kumari Gupta.
"Deepak how long you been working for me?"
"Ummmhhh 5 years Mam" he answered. She looked at him relieved, he couldn't possibly be Nannav. He was too old and had worked for her for too long.
"Okay, fine you may leave" He left looking confused.
"Payal I want all employees that have been in my company for under a year...so don't call anyone old"
Payal looked on confused.
"Mam may I ask why you are calling all these men?"
Khushi gave a sharp look at Payal then decided to play it smartly.
"Ummmh I need an extra Personal Assistant...okay go and call the next one"
This time Shahid Khan was called. He was a very looking boy and Khushi looked that maybe it could be him.
"SO you been working for me for 6 months?? How would you feel if I asked you to be my Personal Assistant?"
He looked on really nervous and then looked at Payal for help.
"Look at me I'm asking the question not Payal"
"Mam, I am happy in my post...I don't think I can handle being your PA, you need someone better qualified"
Khushi crossed his name. He couldn't possibly be her Nannav. Her Nannav would jump to be close to her she thought.
"Fine you may leave" she said coolly.
All day young men were coming in and out of her office. She began getting frustrated. Most of the men were too afraid and did not want to be her PA. They were too afraid to work with her so closely!
Arnav came out of his cabin noticing the constant coming and going of male staff to Khushi's cabin which he had not witnessed so far. He came out and saw Payal coming out of her cabin.
"Payal..." he called her. She looked tired and upset.
"Yes Arnav ji"
"Payal what is going on? Why the staff going inside?"
"Sir Mam wants to appoint someone as her PA but all the staff don't want to know because of her nature"
Arnav knotted his eyebrows this was strange. He casually went into Khushi's cabin. She sat there holding her head.
"Khushi" he said huskily. She looked up and then took a sip of water.
"What is going on?"
"Nothing just looking for my PA"
"And you found one?" he arched his eyebrow.
"No the one I am looking for I can't find him"
Arnav thought for a second and realised she was looking for Nannav. He came and sat across her.
"Khushi I can be your PA" he said as a joke. She smiled.
"Yeh that will go down well, Khushi Kumari Gupta's fianc is her PA! I can see that in the papers!...well I still have Payal so I have to find another way to find him"
"Who?" asked Arnav casually with a straight face.
"No one! My PA of course" she stammered covering up her tracks.
After a while Arnav left her cabin and went back to making his calls. Khushi kept thinking about what Nannav had said that he was around her.
*Maybe he didn't mean office...it could be anywhere* she thought.
Picking up her wallet and keys she got up to go home early. As she came down the stairs she got a withheld call. She picked it up.
"Hello?" she said hoping it was her Nannav.
"Hi Chamkili...you are looking nice today in your navy shalwar kameez" she looked around shocked.
"Nannav...are you around my office?" she asked while keeping an eye on her staff.
"I was in your cabin...but you didn't realise it was me" Arnav was looking at her from above. He made sure she could not see him.
"This is not fair! Why don't you just come to me?"
"SO Khushi Kumari Gupta has lost even before she has started looking eh?"
Khushi looked annoyed at being challenged. "Me and lose? You got it wrong Nannav...I will find you"
Arnav smirked a little.
"I will give you a clue again...to make things easier for you...At the show I will be there...right under your nose"
He cut the call and she started thinking how could she easily find him?
***
Arnav and Khushi stood there before the show looking at the grand arrangement of the biggest event of the Fashion world coming together. Khushi looked on pleased and he looked at her face all happy at the final outcome.
"Arnav I can't believe the day has finally come...all our hard work is paying off"
"Yes..." he said looking at the workers putting the final touches.
"After this show I will be back at my office and you Hitler Gupta back to yours" he said feeling a little sad.
Khushi looked back realising that they won't be seeing each other at the office after this. She felt she would miss him.
"Arnav we are engaged of course we will see each other otherwise our families will get suspicious" she said.
"Ya...I know...so we will have to keep up the pretence after this show...anyway Khushi go and get ready we just got an hour left to the show"
She nodded her head and went off. She looked back and saw him looking lost at the stage in front of him. She went into her changing area and found an outfit with a note.
*Chamkili, I would like you to wear this tonight, for me*
She looked at the note over and over again.
*Nannav was here!*
Looking at the green ghagra choli she looked back at her gown she was thinking of wearing.
***
Mr Gupta, Samita Devi and all the Raizada family arrived to support their children.
"I must say Gupta ji Chotey and Arnav coming together for this show was the best thing ever that could happen to them...and look now they will be spending the rest of their lives together"
Gupta looked on proudly.
"I hope my brother and sister-in-law would be happy seeing their daughter succeeding"
"Look Di, Akash and Payal are over there!" said NK seeing them fixing something.
Slowly all the people began getting seated for the show to start. Shyam looked on trying to find Arnav and Khushi. He had promised he would not pursue the duo anymore and he kept the promise as he knew his wife was keeping an eye on him.
Khushi sat in her dressing room all dressed in the ghagra choli her Nannav had placed for her. She felt she was losing the challenge he had given her. She sat there thinking hard about how to spot her Nannav.
Dressed in a black shiny Armani suit Arnav walked in with a head piece mike around his head. Khushi got up to make her way out. As she turned she saw Arnav. He looked at her with awe.
"WHAT?" she barked.
"Nothing...Khushi what is wrong? You look a little upset" he said noticing her irritated.
"Nothing just a little nervous about the show" she said putting her last earring on.
"Don't worry I will be there with you...Khushi you look wow" he said trying to cheer her up.
"Thanks...come one lets go we got 10 minutes left to start the show"
Arnav took her hand and walked with her. She looked up shocked.
"You are my fianc remember?" she nodded understanding but she felt guilty that her Nannav had to witness this. As soon as she stepped a hoard of girls surrounded Arnav. They were screaming, hugging and kissing him on the cheek. Khushi looked on annoyed. Her eyes were speaking volumes how much she hated seeing other girls all over him. As he looked back he saw her sulking. He rolled his eyes and smirked loving how much jealousy she was feeling.
The stage was blackened out to make the audience silent. Arnav sat near the stage to make sure everything was running smoothly. He nodded at Akash to start it now.
A man announced in a deep voice.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for the lady that is heading the Indian Fashion Industry- the one and only Khushi Kumari Gupta!"
Suddenly a spot light appeared at Khushi. Her green outfit was shining and she looked absolutely gorgeous. Arnav looked on proudly. Unlike her usual self she was looking really nervous. Her eyes darted everywhere to get a glimpse of anyone that might be her Nannav.
She gulped and came forward. Everyone clapped seeing her walk in her killer heels.
She came near the edge and began speaking.
"Thank you all for coming...tonight is a special night for me and my company...and without Arnav Singh Raizada this would have not been possible...so big round of applause for him! Without further outdo enjoy the evening!"
As she spoke she saw a scantily clad lady flirting with Arnav. She looked in that direction and then found herself all complexed, as to why even he was enjoying her company.
Khushi gave one last look around the audience and turned. Her heel got stuck in her long ghagra. As she tried to come off it she lost her balance. She slipped backwards and was caught by Arnav.
*Rabba Vey*
Fearing that she was going to have a lethal fall she closed her eyes tightly. There were gasps in the audience followed by clapping. The media cameras began clicking madly. Khushi was pushed to her fantasy world, where only she and Nannav existed.
*Please Devi Maiyaa when I open my eyes let it be Nannav..please...please...please* she pleaded with her eyes closed.
Her arms automatically went around his neck and she decided to eventually open her eyes. When she opened her eyes they were immediately widened.
"YOU?" She said with disappointment laced in her voice.
"Why Khushi Kumari Gupta you were expecting someone else?" he said looking at her lips and then into her eyes.
"N..n...no...one! Arnav put me down everyone is looking" she said feeling embarrassed when she realised the cameras and eyes were on them. He immediately looked around and let out a smirk and then put her down.
Both their families looked at them both lovingly. They really made a chemically explosive pair. As she walked away she looked back at Arnav and he winked at her. Khushi made an O shape and went to sit next to her dad.
*Khushi Kumari Gupta I am right in front of you and giving you so many clues but you are so engrossed in it not being me that you are not even realising* he said smiling a little.
The show was a roaring success with all the fashion magazines and programmes giving it a five star review. Impressed with all the designers that had displayed their designs Khushi decided to throw them a party the following day.
Once they had finished the show Arnav took Khushi's hand to give an interview on their way out. As soon as they stepped out all the tv anchors pushed their mikes at them.
"What do you have to say about the magnificent show you have organised?"
"I am very happy that all you have liked 'our'" she looked at Arnav and then continued. "Show which we have worked really hard on"
Arnav let Khushi speak while he admired her. His eyes darted all over her face lovingly.
"Mr Raizada, now that this is all over...when will we here wedding bells?" an interview cheekily asked.
Arnav looked at khushi and she looked on uncomfortable.
"Ummhhh...Hopefully Inshallah soon" he said looking at her. She looked back with half a smile.
"Mr Raizada, what is it about Ms Gupta that attracted her to you?"
"Ah well...I don't know it is a special feeling I felt for her a long while ago...I guess you can call it true love?"
Khushi started to feel annoyed. "Sorry will you allow us to go we are really tired...maybe some other time we will discuss our wedding plans hmmm?" she said pulling Arnav's hand out and going past them. Arnav smirked at Khushi's plight. Laad Governor and Hitler Gupta got into their car and drove back to their respective homes.
***
Mr Gupta sat to have his breakfast the next morning. Khushi woke up a little late due to fatigue and was going to the office a little late.
"Khushi, I just been reading the papers, all of them are praising your and Arnav beta's efforts to make this a grand affair"
Khushi smiled and was about to take the papers. Her dad took the paper quickly.
"Dad! I was about to see the reviews"
"Beti...I have read it, it's as good as you reading isn't it?" he chuckled like he was hiding something.
"Dad! Give me the paper" she rolled her eyes knowing he was hiding something. He gave the papers and she began looking at them. All the papers had the photo of her in Arnav's arms. More than the show the papers were talking of how in love they look. Khushi looked on worried about how Nannav will take seeing her in someone else's arms.
"Beti I know you don't like gossip but you are both in the public eye so it's bound to happen...even the tv channels are talking about you falling into Arnav's arms"
Khushi looked up feeling a little embarrassed.
"Anyway, Khushi I needed to talk to you about Arnav and our business...I know Arnav's work at our office is over but as he is practically family now I wanted him to come in partnership with you"
Khushi found the idea daunting.
"Dad we are not married yet!" she said trying to talk him out of it.
"But you will be soon...anyway Arnav around you is good for you...at least you seem calm around him"
That was true she had mellowed down. She gave in as even she found her office without Arnav strange.
***
Dressed in a white shalwar kameez Khushi walked in her office. Payal followed her boss and began filling her in about the calls she had received regarding the show. As she eyed all her male employees to see if anyone was acting strange. She saw a man half whispering to himself with his back to her. Arnav looked on at what was happening.
"Excuse me?" she said getting his attention. He turned around and she was appalled by his look. He was a goofy looking man with a squint.
*That can't be Nannav* she thought.
"Ahem...what the hell you think you're doing?" she looked down on him.
"Mam he talks to himself...he has a habit" said Payal fearing her employer will shout at him. Khushi nodded her head.
Seeing her cross examine him, Arnav laughed in his mind finding it funny. She knew this was not her Nannav. She walked off looking back one more time at the goofy man. As she walked and faced backwards she walked into Arnav and fell on top of him.
*Rabba Vey*
Her breasts pressed onto his chest. Her head on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat. Her breathing became shallow. Arnav felt like pulling her into a hug but he only placed his hands on her arms. Khushi looked into his eyes and he was smitten by her. Realising that her staff was watching them she tried getting up but only to drop back on his chest.
"Khushi...wait" he said getting up himself first. He turned and gave his hand to help her up and she held his hand for support.
"Come I need to talk to you" he said in his husky voice. They both left for the cabin.
"Do you think they fall on each other on purpose? I mean just yesterday Mam fell in his arms" said one male employee.
"Yaar let them enjoy why you getting jealous? They are engaged after all" said another one.
***
Khushi wound her dupatta round her arm and sat down.
"Khushi if you keep falling on me like that...I will think you have fallen in love with me" he said flirting with her.
Khushi looked up shocked and then looked down.
"Khushi is anything wrong?"
"Nothing just...never mind...I don't know if dad has spoken to you but he wants us to merge as one company...He is adamant as we are getting married it would be best"
Arnav looked at her confusion.
"Yes I know he did talk to me...I was going to pack my things and go today but he said we should work together as you need me"
Khushi nodded her head and then added.
"It's okay I do trust you but getting married you know the score"
"I do.." he said reassuring her that nothing will happen which she doesn't want to happen.
"Our show was awesome...we make a great team...and I would like to carry on working with you...and if I say no dad will suspect something is wrong"
"Khushi are you ever going to get married?" he asked.
"Yes...but who I am looking for, well I can't find him"
"Maybe who you are looking for is right in front of you? And you cannot recognise him?" he said with a straight face.
"Yes that is the problem" she said agreeing with him. She tapped her fingers on her face just thinking about how to find Him. Arnav turned and shook his head.
*Pagal!* he smiled and left her cabin.
