ARSHI ff: Made for each other - Page 35

"Sit'" Arnav gestured Khushi to sit down pulling out a chair for her.

Khushi smiled, nodded and sat down. Arnav pulled a chair for himself closer to khushi's and sat beside her. Arnav has intentionally chosen such an angle for Khushi to sit down so that Mr Deepu would not even get an air to sit around her. He smiled proudly at himself for such a decision and felt contended to get her for him alone. He noticed Deepankar thinking of a way to sit around Khushi but he got none. 'After all no one has the right to sit around A.S.R's Fianc other than A.S.R himself .' he thought smirking and felt happy like a child who was able to hide his best toy car from his mischievous friend.

'Damn that Deepankar! Concentrate on Khushi! ".

"Khushi' which type of ring will you prefer?" he asked.

"I'uh!! Arnav ji why don't you select a ring for me ?"she asked.

"Me?? But you have to wear it then you should select it ?" raising an eyebrow he said.

"Nah' Actually..I..voh..uh'"

"Speak up Khushi!"

"I mean'mean that as the ring will be from you'I mean that as the ring will prove me yours'so you should only select it! It will reflect you." She said shyly.

"So the ring will prove you mine?" he said smirking as she looked down.

No reply.

"Look at me Khushi." He said holding her hand.

"Will the ring prove you mine?" he asked again.

This time she looked at him. The way he asked was enough for her to look at him. She peeped into his chocolaty eyes and nodded.

"Then you should also select a ring for me. That will prove me yours!"

This one statement made her realize the intensity of emotions that he must be feeling. The emotions that she awoke in him. The emotions that reflect a sense of belongingness for each other. She lifted her hand placed on his hand which was already holding hers and nodded.

"Hey sweet heart??" said Deepankar aloud to get the would be love birds attention " Which type of ring would you prefer?" he asked Khushi.

"Simple gold band with a diamond fitted!!" arnav answered.

"No I was first asking about ladies ring sir" Deepankar explained.

"I was also talking about them." Arnav answered.

"Oh!!! So I will show you some of the best one! But why so simple one sir when you can choose much better?" Deepankar intrigued.

"Because simplicity is beauty." Arnav answered looking at Khushi whom he aimed as an example.

"So sir here are some rings which I think Khushi will prefer!" Deepankar said enthusiastically.

"But Khushi wants to wear what I prefer'. So if you will lemme?"now once again getting irritated by this so called buddy's interference arnav said.

"Ya sure sir!"

"Arnav ji! You knew I would prefer simple rings na?" said Khushi.

"Arey Khushi he will offcourse know!" said Deepankar not giving chance for arnav to speak.

"Khushi you will prefer white gold or simple one? Arnav asked Khushi to make some conversation.

"Simple one sir! Khushi doesn't like white gold at all!" Deepankar answered.

Now this is limit. Why is he answering our questions? If he was not khushi's so called sweet buddy arnav would have bashed him like A.S.R. but for Khushi he has to control.

'Control Arnav' he ranted for 15 seconds to control him.

"Arnav ji! What happened?" Khushi asked when she saw arnav closing his eyes and ranting something.

"Nothing Khushi' he may be'." Deepankar voiced peeped in and arnav so called 15 seconds gained control ran short.

"ARE YOU ARNAV?" he asked with daggering eyes making Khushi and deepu surprised.

"What?? No..uh' no sir!"

"Then why are you answering her! I.KNOW.HOW.TO. SPEAK." Every word clear with gritting teeth arnav said.

"Yes'voh sir'"

"Just shut up and give us some MUCH NEEDED privacy. Will you?" raising his eyebrows he asked.

"yeah offcourse sir.I will just go and come back." Running for his life deepu stormed out.

Khushi was watching the fantastic episode of Arnav's mood swing going on. Yeah she was feeling bad for deepu but she was also getting somewhat irritated by the fact that deepu was every time interfering them. But she could not understand why arnav was behaving so badly. He could have also told him politely or asked her to talk to deepu but what was the need to bash the poor guy. She has to apologize to deepu from Arnav's side. What so ever he was her friend.

"Arnav ji?" she asked "You alright?"

"How do I look?" he asked.

"I mean you are so angry?"

"Khushi this is our engagement ring shopping going on and that best buddy of yours was making it a public affair!" he said.

"But Deepu was just trying to be friendly! I understand that he was interfering more than needed but you shouldn't have talked to him like that. He is nice guy you know!" she tried to explain.

"Yeah I should have known that you would be taking your best buddies side!"

"No I didn't mean that way'I was only'"

"Khushi let me make one thing clear. I have specially requested to let us choose the rings ALONE and when I couldn't allow any family member to intervene between us how do you suppose that I will like any other man to interfere?" he said.

"Arnav ji' I am sorry." She said understanding his point.

"Khushi'.shh' don't say sorry doll!" he said while cupping her face.

"No I should have understood it... I am sorry!"

"Okay! Apology accepted! Do you want to pay back now?" he asked with a smirk.

"Pay back?"

"Yeah' Now if you are so adamant in proving that it was your mistake then you have to pay back for your mistake also! Don't you?"

"Haww'. So you think it was my mistake?"she said with a wide mouth.

"What the' you only said that it was your mistake."

"You are so rude arnav ji!" she said mockingly.

"Unbelievable!" he said with a chuckle. "So madam first thing is that your lunch time is going to be over soon! So please hurry up!" he said pointing towards the ring.

Khushi smiled at him a little and then started selecting rings. Both of them were selecting each others ring and this time Deepankar dared not to come close to them. He sent his assistant to display them the rings and called him back as soon as possible to give them the much need privacy.

Arnav was selecting a ring for Khushi when he saw Khushi analyzing a simple golden band thoroughly. He bent a slight towards her to have a clear view of the ring in khushi's hand when he felt a slight push by Khushi on his shoulders to keep him away. He looked at Khushi with questioning eyes.

"Arnav ji! No cheating!" she said when arnav started to pep into the rings which she was selecting for arnav.

"What the! What cheating?"

"I mean. You are not allowed to see the ring that I am selecting for you and I will not see mine one! And'" she added " no one will ask other ones preference as you were doing earlier and will select what he or she thinks that other one will like. This way we will'"

"Start to know each other better." Arnav completed khushi's sentence.

Khushi didn't say anything just smiled at him and started to analyzing the rings again while arnav silently kept looking at her.

Arnav's mind was now far away from choosing the ring. His mind was following his own thoughts. He could not believe that he was the same A.S.R who always kept away from shopping to think it as a shear waste of time and today he was spending at least five to ten minutes on each ring. He could not believe that he was the same man who always ran away from commitments and today he was selecting his engagement ring.

He still remembered how his di, dadi and chachi would always nag him for getting married. He never said that he will never get married but he didn't wanted it to happen now. He needed more time. He didn't wanted more responsibility now. But then what happened? How come he is here shopping for his enagement? How come he is feeling responsible for the girl sitting next to him? How come he want to bear her responsibility for ever?

The day when he was Forced to meet a girl in a temple by the raizada women he was all set to say a direct 'No' to the proposal. He was not even interested in seeing the girl but then he was tricked and promised. So he quietly went there with his mind set with a 'NO'. But then what happened? How it happened that he ended up with his shagun ceremony with a girl named Khushi Gupta.

To say that he never thought of marriage alliance with any one of the big business family in future will be a lie. After all he was business man. He would always think of ways to expand his business but he also vowed never on the expense of his families happiness. He had his mind set that he will always ask di or dadi their opinion on the matter and then proceed. But never in his life he thought that he will be getting married at the age of 28 soon to turn 29 and that to a office going girl.

But now as he analyze the situation he feel proud at his decision that the girl that he is going to be getting married is not a rich business man's spoilt dependent on daddy's money girl but a simple innocent and independent girl who works according to her name 'Khushi' spreading happiness. She Is the girl whom he thought to refuse but on the other hand ended up getting committed to her. She was the girl who would talk to him all that was in her mind without hesitating. She was the girl whose innocence and beauty was letting him fall for her. She was the girl with whom he was looking forward to spend his whole life.

"I am done. You?" asked Khushi bringing arnav back from her thought.

"what?" spelled arnav out from his thoughts "Oh yeah just'just five minutes." He said regretting to review his thoughts at the time when he should be selecting the ring and talking to Khushi. But not his fault. This girl was bringing a lot of changes in him.

He took five to ten minutes more and then said.

"Done!"

"Great! So should I tell Deepankar to pack these up?"

"NO" he shouted at the thought of that clumsy deepu sticking to his Khushi again.

"What?"she asked baffled.

"I mean I will ask him. You just sit here."

"But I have to pay'"

"I am paying Khushi."

"No' that's so rude of you! You are not letting me pay for my fianc's ring also." She pouted dramatically making a puppy face.

"You are impossible. Emotional blackmailing? From now? What will happen after marriage?" he said amused.

"Then there will be no emotional blackmailing. There will be only pure blackmailing' dangerous one." She said proudly.

"we will see' but today I will pay and'"

"Please!! I want to pay! As it is after marriage husbands don't give chances to their wife to pay so I don't want to let go of this pure chance of paying today. Please??"

"Okay!" he said as he shook his head at her long reasons for paying the money with a soft chuckle.

"But be with me and don't start again your past stories with your friend again because this is our time." He warned.

She just nodded her head like an obedient child and followed him.

All through the payment task Arnav kept holding Khushi by her waist keeping him close to him and glaring at Deepankar telling him to keep his mouth shut.

To say that Khushi could not see him getting jealous of Deepankar would be a white lie. She was fully aware of the J factor here and could also feel arnav's possessive hold on her waist but then for a girl what could be more than required other than knowing that the man that she is going to get married feels for her. She was rejoiced inside at this behavior of arnav and therefore enjoying it and smiling.

Arnav saw her similing at her own and asked "What?"

"Nothing...lets go." she said.

After getting in the car Khushi glanced at the clock and calculated the time left for Arnav's office lunch time to be over. She has taken a half day thinking of spending some time with arnav but now she was not sure whether she should ask arnav for it or not but as by her nature she spoke.

"Arnav ji. Can I ask you something?"

"yeah! Sure." He replied looking forward to the road.

"Do you have some important work lying at the office?"

"Yeah... kind of ... some meetings and presentations. Why?"

"Nothing... I was just' let it be." She said feeling sad.

"What is it Khushi?" he asked.

"Nothing'leave it"

"Are you telling me or should I take it out from you?" he asked acting a bit serious.

"It is nothing arnav ji. It was just that I took a half day from office and thought to spend some time with you. But you have work to do. I can understand."

The car stopped with a jerk making Khushi take the support of the dash board to balance herself.

"What happened?" she asked "has the car stopped?"

"No your mind have stopped working. How did you think that I will leave a chance to spend sometime with you alone and go to attend some meeting?" he asked a bit louder.

"Voh'I'mean you have important work and'"

"Nothing is important than my family khushi. And you are going to be my wife. The most important person of my life." He said holding her hand. "Never hesitate to say anything to me Khushi'never. Please always tell what you feel. I am not a very good person at emotions so please let me know what you think and feel. Please help me to understand you better. Will you?"

She smiled at the famous business tycoon's emotional speech and said a most important word "Hamesha!".

He amiled and brought her hand close to his lips and said "So Ms. Khushi Gupta soon to be Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada will you go out for a date with me?"

She nodded a yes and he placed a light kiss on her hand.
