Part 4
"I should fix my hair shouldn't I?"
"No Khushi, you look fine! Just relax, I'm sure you will do fine"
"Are all the documents ready Tania?"
"Yes Khushi, don't worry, I have it all with me"
"And the presentation? Aman! Is the presentation all set?"
"Khushi relax!! You want some water? Just chill okay, you just go and say your thing! Good luck!"
I have never been this nervous. Not even when I joined AR. 10 minutes till my death. Can you believe this?! This is torture! Now that I am alone, I take three deep breaths to calm my nerves. But it doesn't really help. And then, the main reason for my anxiety just walks towards me, as relaxed as ever.
"Ms. Gupta, you ready?"
Did I hear his question? I think I did. Then why am I not answering it? Before he thinks I have gone deaf for sure this time, I slowly nod. And he turns to walk away when I hear my own voice.
"Arnav, aren't you going to wish me luck for my first presentation here?" He turns and looks at me with that look and I forget everything around me once again. Slowly he walks towards me, and I feel my nerves calming down instantly. Oh so nowadays something like this works for anxiety?
And just when he's close enough he stops before me.
"Actually you don't need any luck Ms. Gupta, because I have full trust in you…But if you want I can remind you of your great capabilities beside work?" Damn that smirk! I should be dead by now. I think he read the confidence in my eyes again, because he continues.
"But if you insist so much..Good luck Ms. Gupta" and with that he gives me a peck on my cheeks and walks away after I notice the glint in his eyes, which he must have seen in mine too.
"See you in the meeting room Ms. Gupta!"
Holy shit. By now I must have become a living statue that much, that I have enough experience to pose in Madame Tussauds. He kissed me!!
With the new energy I just received I grab my belongings and head towards my Mr. Sexy to start the presentation.
****
I am sitting at my desk now. But just like always, I keep staring at him from time to time. And even when I look at my computer screen, I stare at him, but then mentally. It's not funny anymore. It has become dangerous I think.
He is looking at his screen. I notice the way his eyes move over the screen and then look at the file on his desk. He dials some number. He moves those sexy lips. Those lips that kissed me on my cheeks!
He stops talking and puts his mobile on his desk with his masculine hand. And then he looks at his screen again, he looks at his file again, and he looks at me. SHIT.
****
And there goes my second month , wasted in staring at my boss. Wait, what am I saying again?! Wasted? No way in hell! Because in this second month I have learned so much more about Mr. Hot. Now I have seen a totally other side of him, which has blown me away completely to Idunnowhere.
It all started to make sense upon me when I began to notice how much he cares for me. Besides that I walked around like some joker of a really bad horror film because of that stupid grin which decided to stick on my face this month, I actually realized that Mr. Boring, Mr. Hot, Mr. Sexy or whoever he is, he is just my Arnav… OMG there I go again. MY Arnav?! Whatever, because in a sense, yes, he is my Arnav. He cares for me like he never does for anyone, he makes me laugh in a manner he doesn't do with anyone else, he cheers me up like no one else can, he knows my choice like it's his, and, well.. He is just that Arnav for me whom he is not for anyone else. And that's what makes him my Arnav..
Yeah Yeah, I know, I have done my homework completely as to observing Raizada, but hey, it has shown its results! Personally, and professionally as well. He now trusts me with more things, and I think Aman can go and pack his things soon. Poor thing..I think he actually likes ASR..
As a boss!! Of course. Ahum.
And personally..Well..I will tell that when I am able to stop blushing because right now he is looking at me with his weapon, his ss, again.
And OMG he is coming towards me
****
"Thinking about me?" Shit, even my mind is not safe now.
"Uhh..Actually…I.." Shit, and I was talking about to stop blushing? It must be hard to distinguish between me and any random tomato right now!
"It's okay Ms. Gupta, you can continue your thoughts about me in a little while, just wanted to tell you that I need to discuss something with you during lunch" and with that he is just about to turn when I almost yell..
"Excuse me! I was not thinking about you at all okay? But yeah, thanks for informing me, I'll be there." It's there again. His ss. Oh! Forgot to tell, since the time buaji fainted when she was eavesdropping while I was talking to Payal about his sexy smirk, I had to use these abbreviations keeping in mind buajis health.
He walks towards me like he's going to jump on me any second. Wow, I suddenly realize I must have looked like that all those times I was staring at him.
"No need to hide Ms. Gupta, I know you were thinking about me only" How can he be so sure?! Why is he always right? Damn.
"No I was not."
He leans towards me with that intense look in his eyes which makes every cell in my body stop doing what they were just to look at him and admire this one look.
"Yes you were…" He strokes the back of his fingers against my cheek and looks at me lovingly.
"You look so cute when you think about me.." He smiles at me and then, before I know it he walks towards his cabin.
"No I wasn't!" I shout just on time. But whom am I fooling? I open my mailbox quickly and type a suddenly very important mail, while I look at him.
He sits down at his desk. My palms are sweating.
He proceeds to check his mail. My heart is beating.
His eyes read the mail. Why am I not blinking?
He looks at me. And I'm not breathing as well.
He smirks at me. OMG now I don't know whether it is because of this smirk or the fact that I'm not breathing, but it feels like I will faint any moment.
But I do not. Instead I just smile back at him shyly, as I re-read the mail I just send.
Yes I was…
****
"Yes di, of course I will come for dinner tonight! I promised, right?" I smile at her enthusiasm when I confirm that I will be there, again. But even I haven't had enough of the many dinners I had with this family, because every minute spend with these sweet people seemed too short.
While sipping my tea, my mind drifts towards the events of the past month. How my life had changed. I am glad Arnav forgot that important file that day which he needed to prepare for the meeting the next day, because if he hadn't, I wouldn't have gone to RM to give it to him, and I wouldn't have met the Raizadas that day. We could really find it with each other that very minute, and Anjali di became my best friend immediately. I liked it. And so did Arnav. Because the very next day he forgot another file. And then another.
But the most drastic change was something I was really proud of. I was proud at myself. Yes! Because that day when Arnav kissed me on my cheeks, I thought, if he can, then why can't I?...
Okay. I'm going to put my plan into action. There is no turning back now. I have to do this. I can do this.
Suddenly the car stops in front of my house. And suddenly I can't move any body part. Shit.
NO! You can do this Khushi, show him!
"I hope you liked dinner today as well?"
I just look at him. And I don't exactly know what I am thinking. Am I planning an angle or what?!
He starts to say something else, but actually I don't hear a single word, and I just decide to act. It's now or never Khushi.
"You know, don't mind di, she can be a little too enthusiastic someti- WHAT THE"
"WHAT THE!" Oops. Wrong angle indeed. Where did those lips come from?! We just stare at each other for a nanosecond which seems an eternity when I suddenly realize that I gave a peck on his lips instead of his cheeks. SHIT I KISSED HIM! Why the hell did he turn his head?!! Oh right! He was saying something! Damn!!
I cover my wide eyed face immediately with both my hands while I keep wondering why the earth hasn't swallowed me yet?
But then I feel some rough hands holding mine softly, while he tries to remove my hands, and I look up at him, deeply embarrassed.
But he just smirks at me, to make things worse of course.
"Sorry…I..just wanted to…wish you…goodnight.." I can see he has to put all his efforts in not laughing out loud. He raises his eyebrows while he is still holding my hands and nods slowly.
"Ahan..like that right.."
I try to cover my face once again, but he stops me. What the hell just happened?! I just ruined everything..
"It's okay Khushi" and then he smiles the sweetest smile ever at me, and I try to open my door to escape this weird situation in which I am now not able to burst out laughing unlike that incident in the restaurant. If that ancestor of Yash Raj had seen this, he would have smacked his head on the nearby wall for ruining this perfect chance of being romantic.
But Arnav holds my wrists again.
"You forgot something" I look at him. Don't ask me where the hell I got the courage from. And he leans forward and kisses my cheek.
"My goodnight kiss" And then I don't know for how long we looked at each other.
****
I sigh contentedly while I think of all those goodnight kisses we shared for the past month. But then I suddenly remember I had to go to Arnav as he wanted to speak to me. What could it be? It must be about that Shimla project we started not so long ago, because since that project has started, Mr. Busy doesn't seem to have enough time for me and my yearning heart. Stupid project. I hate it.
****
I love this project!!! Seriously! Arnav just announced he has to go to Shimla for 3 days and he wants me to join him! Yes Yes triple Yes!! Isn't Shimla one of those great places for a honeymoon?! Yes it is!
Holy shit! Behave yourself Khushi! Honeymoon?!
****
"Oh no!"
"What the! What happened Khushi?"
"We have to go back! I forgot something!"
"Khushi?! We cannot go back! We have to depart in some time! What is it? We can get it there?"
"No Arnav! I have to get him!"
"HIM?! Who is him?!"
"My lucky teddy bear!"
Why is he looking at me like that? He is just looking at me like I told him I'm a ghost or something.
He is laughing. Damn him.
"Look, don't laugh okay! I can't sleep elsewhere without him!"
"Khushi, don't worry, this time you can, you won't need him"
"How do you know that? What if I can't?"
"Because I'll be there with you this time"
OMG. I bet my face expression is the same as his was some time ago.
****
Shimla. Honeymoon destination. Cold romantic breeze, wonderful hills, amazing views. And boring meetings. Why didn't anyone count that one in? It's the first day here and we already have had three meetings. THREE! It couldn't get any better. Great! I must look like I haven't slept for a week or something. And Arnav, ha! Well, Arnav is just Arnav. Mr. Perfect.
And worse of all, he hasn't said one thing to me in those meetings! Now I understand why meetings could be boring for people. On top of that, my hands just feels like they have to be amputated soon. And this time not because my cells have stopped functioning to admire Arnav Singh Raizada, nope, this time it is because they finally face the wrath of this Raizada sitting next to me. I have been typing like hell in those meetings, while he just sits there, as relaxed as ever. Please God, what kind of torture is this?! Has he finally realized that I have gone crazy these months? Is that why he is showing this side of him?
****
YES! Everything is finalized! Finally! And now I'm going to sleep for the next three days, may I?
"Ms. Gupta?" Oh he is still talking to me?
"Yes?"
"Can you say for sure that you made the right notes?"
"Uhh..Yes..Why is there any problem?" He just looks at me. And this time I can't read his expression. Shit! And then he shows me the notes while I scan them quickly and freeze on my spot when I read a particular sentence.
Company has decided to invest in designs, designs are customized according to AR likings, except one thing which has to be finalized: What kind of torture is this?!
"What the!" This can't be true. Shit, it is.
I look up at him embarrassed, fearing I have to leave Shimla on the first day by myself, and he still has the same expression.
"Uhh..I'm sorry..But I still know what had to be finalized! I can adjust it!" My small attempt to change the topic and make it all seem like just some small type mistake.
But no. It doesn't work.
"So you think this is torture?" And he walks towards me. I walk backwards, ready to run from the scene.
"No…I.." Ouch!! That was the wall. Who said running from the scene?!
"Ms. Gupta, if this is torture for you, then you don't know the real torture yet." Now I can even feel his breath on my face, but he leans forward, still and whispers in my ear.
"Be ready for the real torture tonight"
****
"Where are you taking me?"
"I said no questions"
He is driving to some place above the hills. And I'm almost sure he is going to push me down one of those hills. I just have to experience it for that remaining certainty. That was it guys. That was my journey with Mr. Scary.
****
Wow this is beautiful! All those flowers here! And the view from atop of here! I just cannot bring that grin from my face! This is so romantic! And all thanks to Arnav! My Arnav!
No, no, to be clear, I'm not in heaven because he pushed me down those hills.
In fact, we are standing on one such a hill, far above the others. And it has a great view from here. So this is what Raizada wanted to let me see, huh?
"This is beautiful Arnav!"
"I know, that's why I brought you here, this place suits you" I look at him pleasantly bewildered, while he walks closer to me. Oh God, not again. This time I'm sure he will hear my loud heartbeats. It's so quite here.
"In fact, you make it more beautiful here" he is standing so close that I cannot help but look like a dumb fish. Close that mouth Khushi!
But then, when he touches my hand and kisses my knuckles, I feel alive again. This time I cannot help but smile sweetly at him, admiring him.
NO! I won't ruin this moment, no matter what! Suddenly I feel that those heavenly lips again, kissing my cheek.
"You know it right?" I hear him say, while he caresses my hand.
"What?"
"That I'm madly in love with you Ms. Gupta" And then I feel him shoving a ring around my finger, and I look at it, astonished for a moment, when that smile appears again on my face.
"You can call me Khushi" I reply, and suddenly I hear that sexy laugh.
And when I look into those eyes again, I can see it all. I see everything he wants to say to me, but before he puts his efforts in expressing it, I give a peck on his lips. Again. But this time it was not the wrong angle, because he does exactly that what I want him to do. He kisses me gently, passionately, and intensely.Prologue: Beneath a Silent Sky The hills stood in solemn silence, their peaks wrapped in a soft mist, like ancient sentinels guarding the quiet...
