CHAPTER 3
At AR Fashions:
Arnav was running his head to come up with some idea that can convince these peoples. He wanted to do this badly!!! Lavanya was wondering that what will her boss come up with now??!!
Arnav: Gentlemen's relax..!!! No need to create a havoc here.. We will have to think about some solution for this..
MD2: Yes Mr. Raizada.. But, what??We cannot take this risk.. We know that you really want to help in this matter but there should be something that will be really strong than the business deal..
MD1: Yes..!! That will be like a surety for this deal..It will make it safe. You know.. Something more of a relation..!!!
Lavanya almost got the idea and she was smiling sheepishly waiting for it to come up.. She wanted to see who had the audacity to drop it in front of The ASR!!!!
In Gupta fashion House:
Khushi was totally irritated by the reaction and fuss created by her investors. She did not like people objecting her ideas.
Khushi (irritating tone): Gentlemen, this is not going to work if you people simply object and do not come up with any solution. How much ever you oppose I want this deal to happen.
MD1: Ms. Gupta, you should understand the consequences. It is not that you are making any permanent relation with the AR fashions. If it was permanent then it would have been fine as we would all get the mutual benefits of that..!!!
Khushi (thinking): Permanent huh!!?? Ok..!!
Rakesh was now surprised by her tone. He started wondering what his boss upto was!!!
In AR fashion
MD2: Mr. Raizada, make this deal a permanent one..!! we will be more secured then and also it will be like expanding the company too..!!
Arnav: That's not possible. I don't think Ms. Gupta will agree for that. She just wanted a help...not like merging or surrendering..!!
Arnav was completely irritated. He lost his temper and gritted his teeth and shouted to all..
Arnav: Look everybody.. I want this deal to happen at any cost. So stop opposing it and come up with the solution..!! I don't care what and how you can find.. But just do it by tomorrow morning..We will meet again then.
He said so much and rushed outside along with Lavanya. He was completely annoyed for all..!! Lavanya was updating him with the rest of the days plan as it was near to the lunch hour.
Aakash who had come bit late to the office was surprised to see his brother in the conference hall as there was meeting going on. As he remembered there was no meeting scheduled and he wondered what was going on.
He saw Arnav coming to his cabin with annoyed expression. But he felt it was usual. Still he wanted to find out what was going on. And he also saw the
MD's and investors walking out discussing very seriously..!!! This made him more impatient to know the reason of the meeting.
He went straight to his brother's cabin, knocked and entered. He saw Arnav resting in his chair and thinking deeply that he did not notice Aakash's entry..!!
Aakash: Bhai..!! Kya hua?? Itna tension mein kyun hai aur yeh meeting kis liye tha??!!
Arnav (looking at Aakash): Aakash!! Nothing was little worried about the new deal..!!
Aakash (surprised): New deal bhai??!! Which one??
Arnav looked at Akash for a brief moment and explained him everything!!!
Aakash was dumb stuck..!! Its not that he has not seen his bhai in tension.. Its that he has not seen him worrying like this for a deal where he has no much profit!! He thought he is missing something and decided to speak to Lavanya in detail..
Aakash: Don't worry bhai, you will find the solution..!!
He left telling so much. Arnav went back to thinking and wondering what mite has been going in Gupta fashion house now!! He decided to meet Khushi and speak..
Aakash: Lavanya, tell me what this deal with Ms. Gupta is?? And why is bhai taken it so personally??!!
Lavanya (smiling sheepishly): I really don't know Aakash..!! ASR is taking this too much personally..
Then she gives the in detail explanation of their meeting with Ms. Gupta..How they spoke with each other's name and ASR complimenting her!!!
Aakash was now much interested with this. He decided to attend the next meeting at any cost!!!
At Gupta House
Payal: How many times do I tell you maa not to do this to me!!! I am not going to show my face to any of the guys!! I don't want to get marry so soon..Let me help you at home for some time..
Garima: What help Payal??!! This is the never ending work.. Daily we will have to look after the house.. So don't be stupid and agree to see the boy!! They are coming tomorrow evening.
Payal (almost crying): I'm not, I'm not, and I'm not!!! That is it.. I can't leave you three in this condition and go..!!!
This was the occasional drama at Gupta house now days!! Especially after Mr. Gupta's attack. Garima started to fear and she wanted to finish off the weddings of both her daughters!! and thinking of the present condition she was not sure of Khushi.. At least she thought she will finish off Payal's and then deal with Khushi's.
Back to Gupta fashion house
Khushi stormed out of the meeting hall postponing to next day morning..She had completely lost her patience. She had told them to come with the solution!!!
Khushi: Rakesh, Get me a cup of strong coffee and the files of the latest tender we are going to apply for. I need to finalize the figures!!
Rakesh: Yes ma'am, in a minute.
He ran for her orders.
Khushi entered her cabin and rested in her chair. She kept her forehead on her table and started thinking why has her life turned so much?? Why is she not getting what she wanted?? She felt as though everything has started marching up against her!!
Just then Rakesh enters with her coffee and breaks her thought. He gives the coffee and goes to get her the files she needed.
After lunch, Khushi was busy looking through the files when she came across some major blunders!! She called her employee who was deal with that and started shouting..
Khushi: How could you do this??!! Such an irresponsible behavior!! How am I going to make my company a best one if I have these kinds of employees??!!!
Employee (Scared): Sorry ma'am I must have missed it. Will get back to it right now..
Khushi: Do it right now before leaving today and submit me!!! Just get lost now!!! OUT!!!
Arnav was standing outside her cabin as he had decided to meet her post lunch..He had told Rakesh not to disturb her as he will go by himself. He was astonished the way she was shouting!! He found no difference between both of them!!
Arnav knocked and entered as he heard her response. He could see that the employee was standing there fully scared as he had just faced his boss anger!! Khushi looking at Arnav and surprised,
Khushi: Good afternoon, Pleasant surprise Arnav!! Be seated!!
She showed him the cushion chair in her office. She turned to the employee and warned him
Khushi: Just get lost now and report to me before evening!! Get back to work now!!
Khushi (turning to Arnav) : Sorry for that, just lose my patience sometimes!! How you been??!!
Arnav: Yep, that's fine.. Totally understandable!!! I just came here to update you about the deal..
Khushi (remembering the morning meeting): Yes.. I was actually about to speak to you about that.. Any ways what will you have tea? Or Coffee??.
Arnav: Black coffee.. That is the same reason I came to meet you!!
Khushi calls Rakesh and informs him to get coffee..
Khushi: What happened at your meeting?? Did they agree??!!!
She asked hopefully..!!
Arnav (clearing his throat): Oh god!! That was a complete mess!! None of them seemed to agree for this..What about your??
Khushi: Same here..Should decide tomorrow morning!!
Both smile. Just then Coffee comes and she prepares it..a
Khushi: Sugar??
Arnav: No thanks. I will have like that plain..!!
Khushi (wondering): Doesn't that taste too bitter??!!
Arnav: I'm not supposed to. I'm diabetic from birth.. So I'm kind off used to now!! I like it that way!!
Khushi: Oh..!! I didn't know that..!! Now tell me what to do.. I really wanted this deal to happen.. Here my investors are asking for a permanent kind of deal!! I will have to come up with some idea..
Arnav (thoughtfully): Same here.. Permanent deal!! I am wondering what idea I can come up to..I have called a final meeting tomorrow, will decide at any cost!! Don't worry..
Khushi: Ya.. Even I'm doing the same thing..
There was a silence as both of them did not know what to speak next. For Khushi at least..!! Arnav had actually so many questions assembled in his head.. He was thinking to ask or not..Same time Rakesh entered..
Rakesh: Ma'm the people have come with the material samples.. You will come and finalize now??!!
Khushi (looking Arnav): I have to go Arnav, got an important meeting.. Hope you don't mind..!!
Arnav: Absolutely..!! Even I have to get back. Will let you know tomorrow morning what will happen. Don't worry..!!
Khushi: Thank you so much. I appreciate it..!!
Both get up and shake their hands. He felt like a delicate doll in his hand!! He wondered how can she be so strict and stubborn then??!!
Arnav left. Khushi went along with Rakesh. After the tiring day work she went back home. She wanted to think of the solution now..
At Gupta house
All were having dinner. Garima again brought up the matter of Payal's marriage in front of Khushi.
Khushi: Jiji why you do not want to look at him?? Just you can try!!
Payal: You are telling that Khushi??!! Now listen all, I don't want to get married so soon and that's final. Nobody is ever going to get this topic again..!!
Khushi: Amma, I'm supporting her. Let she decide when she wants to marry. Don't force her..
Garima (tears in her eyes): I don't know whether or not in my fate I can see both my daughter's wedding!! ??
Both Khushi and Payal sighed looking at their mother's reaction. Khushi had long back decided about this and just that she had not told her Amma. She did not want to fall in that again after she had in London!!!
At Raizada house
All were having dinner. Akash wanted to ask about meeting with Arnav.. But did not ask as all were around and also that his Anjali did was arguing about much serious topic with Arnav!!!
Anjali: How long Chote?? You can't simply avoid things.. You need to think of your life seriously!!
Arnav: Dii, I'm..!!! So only I told that I am not going to marry!! I don't believe in this love, leaving together forever, feeling for each other and all.. So just stop forcing me!! I am happy like this!!!
This was the most common topic of discussion in Raizada house these days!! And as always Anjali has no option other than to sit quite..
Arnav completed his dinner and went to his room..He had so much important matters to think of other than this stupid MARRIAGE DEAL!!!
At Gupta house
She completed her rest of the dinner in silent and left to room thinking about tomorrow's meeting and today's meeting with Arnav.. She called Rakesh regarding the meeting..
Khushi: Did you think of any solution?? I need to come up with something soon Rakesh..
Rakesh: No Ma'm.. I am thinking what they meant by personal relation..??
Khushi (in anger): Personal relation.. My foot!! They are just reacting too much.. I don't care what they tell..I'm doing it tomorrow!!
Just then Payal enters and hears this.. She becomes upset listening to Khushi.. Khushi notices Payal and ends the call..
Khushi: Aap?? Kya kaam tha jiji??
Payal: Kuch nehi.. Why were you speaking like that Khushi?? Before you were never like this..Is this too much pressure to bear for you??
Khushi: Nothing jiji.. Being in this field we need to speak like this..!!! anyways.. what's the matter??
Payal: Nothing.. You sleep..Good night..
She left saying that.. Khushi also Went back to sleep..
Precap: Arnav and Khushi both dumb and shocked listening to their investor's solution for the DEAL..!!! 😲
