Chapter#19

Anjali, Nani and Manorama Mami had gone to a dinner. They had insisted Khushi a lot but she stayed back. It was 9 at night and about time Arnav was back. He was late than usual. Khushi was in the kitchen making something for her and Nk sat in the living playing a game on his phone. It was peaceful by now, thought Khushi just then the main door opened with a big bang.

When Khushi heard that startling sound she was definite that he has returned from office. But the thing that bothered her was that she wasn't in the room sleeping because then he would be angry at her for changing his room. She rushed out of the kitchen seeing him walking towards the stairs after waving at Nk. She ran back to the kitchen.

"Khushi, you've done this on purpose, plus it's dark in the room, he wouldn't even notice." –She said to her self.

*

Arnav was extremely tired today, he hadn't gone to office for two days and the work pending was a lot. He was tired and desperately in need of sleep. He loosened his tie and threw it on the recliner; wondering why the lights were off he turned to switch board and turned the buttons on.

"What the…?" –Arnav exclaimed with wide eyes. He quickly realized who had done this. He went to look for Khushi, he checked the washroom and when he didn't find her there he turned towards the main door, she was already standing there with a smile reaching her ears. It was for a mere second when Arnav forgot his anger but came back the second she questioned him.

"Did you like it?" –her smile kept getting wide.

"What in the world did you think before doing this? This is my room, Dammit, not a freaking festival stall!" –Arnav yelled with frustration. He saw that beautiful smile of hers being wiped away and a heartbreaking expression replaced it. He felt a pang of anger at himself in his heart. She was about to fight back but he cut her.

"You know whatever; I am in no mood of arguing I am off to sleep."He said and stormed to the washroom shutting the door with a piercing bang.

Khushi saw how exhausted he looked, and just kept quite and picked up her neon colored pillow and blanket. She switched the poolside fairy lights on and switched the fairy-lights in the room off. She tucked inside her self made bed cozily and dozed off in a minute.

Arnav had taken a shower and gotten out with his night suit on. Her smile wiping off like that was still bothering him. There were so many times he had made Lavanya, His Di, his family and many other feel bad but he had never felt this way. This feeling was so different. And when he couldn't figure it out it made him go upset. Something in his heart told him to apologize to her. He looked around to find the room empty and suddenly he saw the slight light behind the drawn grey curtains. He opened the curtains and saw her sleeping. The fairy-lights added a glow to her angelic face. He stood there watching her sleep, it seemed like eternity.

Everything seemed so perfect, he was standing there; his hands in his pockets and she was oblivious to the situation. The slight breeze touched both the faces, Arnav and Khushi. He had no idea how long he had been watching at her like that. The urge he had in his heart to pick her up in his arms and put her right beside him in the bed was set aside. He left a heavy sigh out and turned, almost forced himself. He could watch her like that forever.

As he stretched out on the bed, his thoughts kept drifting back to Khushi again and again. He thought about what Nk said which had always affected his mind in some way. Why did he start dating Lavanya in the first place? His mind, as always had the answer; she didn't want to give the relationship a name, like marriage. That was exactly what he liked, but other than that what else had it been? He had over a thousand girls dying on him then and even now.

Was he really in love with Lavanya? But he had never felt that way for her, not ever. And what about Lavanya? She was never in love with him too, then why was this going on? I will end this, He thought. He would end this he thought, he can't betray his Di and his family and… Khushi.

He thought he would take Lavanya somewhere and let her know that this can't go on forever. His Di trusted him and maybe, just maybe Nk was right that she was cheating on him. He had felt it too.

After looking at Khushi once again, he pulled the blanket over till his chest and went to sleep. Yes, he was going to end this. But God always has other things in his mind.

*

It was a bright sunny day as Khushi stretched out of her self-made-comfy-bed. She smiled as she looked up in the sky, she felt good for no reason at all. She looked into the room and found it empty and the washroom door open as well, that meant he was gone. She got up and was about to fold the bed when her eyes widened suddenly realizing that the curtains that she herself drew yesterday night were open. She stood straight just like a stick. Why would he do that? Khushi thought to herself. No, maybe she was mistaken; she must have forgotten to do that. Ignoring it because her heart didn't want to know the answers which would make her raise any hope or think about the Why's in her head.

She had another plan in her mind today, to infuriate this Laad-governor. Khushi smiled like a devil but yet innocent. She quickly made her bed; she took out her clothes from the cupboard and rushed to take a bath so that she could put her plan into action.

*

Khushi looked fresh and in high spirits today. She wore a sky blue Kameez; it was long and stopped two inches above her ankles. It had slight white needlework on it and she matched it with a white churidar and of-course her white-blue mix colored duppatta. She let her straight, thick, long hair loose and twisted the strands of her hair on her forehead back with bobby pins. She wore sliver ballet's shoes with matching earrings. She looked faultless.

She walked down the stairs and found the whole family there staring at her smilingly. Except that he wasn't there for breakfast today. Odd. But then she smiled again, because next time he would make sure he was there for breakfast and lunch.

"Khushi jee, you look so beautiful." –Anjali chirped while she pulled Khushi's cheek. "I bet Chote would have agreed if he was here." –Anjali added.

Khushi sat down on the table as everybody told her how pretty she looked today.

"Oh everybody there is some news." –Akash silenced everybody.

"News? Oh my god, Jeeji? Are you expecting something? Itni jaldi?" –Khushi suddenly asked as she widened her eyes but realized what she had said.

"Oh no!" –Akash and Payal both said together, turning red as usual. Anjali and Nani giggled at Khushi's words. And Khushi herself was going cherry because of the embarrassment.

"We have some other news. I and Payal are going to America for two to three weeks. Bhai wanted me to finalize a huge contract that we recently got our hands on and also I and Payal would have our honey-moon." –Akash quickly said before anyone could make any wrong assumptions.

"That is certainly great news, Akash beta." –Nani said patting his back.

"Oh wow, Jeeji always wanted to travel around the world. I'm so happy for you both." –Khushi hugged Payal sideways.

"Yes, but Chote and Khushi jee should go too, don't you think?" –Anjali added as she knew the situation between them.

Oh no! No. No. No. No. This is not happening. Just NO! God, save me? I beg you.

"Oh Di, I offered the same to Bhai but he has to finalize another deal here so yeah. They can always go when we come back." –Akash told them.

Jeeja jee is a Life Saver!

Khushi let a sigh out which didn't go unnoticed by Nk. He shook his head in disappointment. He mentally made a note that after the Lavanya thing, he needs to send both of them away on a trip too.

*

The family finished their breakfast, talking about the usual things and with Mami jee's usual blunders on the table. Hp, Anjali and Khushi started to clean things up, Payal was about to help but Khushi sent her away to continue with her packing. Anjali and Khushi were both in the kitchen setting things right to their places when Khushi began to put the plan in place.

"Anjali jee, why didn't Arnav jee stay back for break-fast today?" –Khushi asked in a casual tone.

"Oh you know the usual excuse; 'I have lots of work pending'"- Anjali imitated Arnav's voice and both, Khushi and Anjali giggled.

"And that means he won't be here for lunch too right?" –Khushi asked.

"Right." –Anjali sighed. After a few seconds of silence, Anjali suddenly smiled to herself. "Khushi jee?" –Anjali turned to her. "Why don't you make some of his favorite dishes and take it to the office and surprise him?"- Anjali clapped her hands together in excitement.

Just what I wanted to hear. Khushi thought.

"Oh that's a great idea Anjali Jee. I'll do that today." –Khushi smiled sweetly as Anjali left the Kitchen. "Everything is going exactly the way I want it to." –Khushi whispered to herself and started to prepare his lunch with a smile playing on her lips.

*

After Anjali told what Arnav likes to eat a lot, Khushi began to make it. Tomorrow night Nk was going to put his plan into action. He didn't even tell her what exactly he'd do or had done. But all she wished was everything would go well. If it didn't then Arnav would probably marry Lavanya after six months. She didn't know what she would tell her family or what would be the further consequences. The guilt feeling or whatever it was had erupted like a volcano in Khushi's heart. Consequences were to be known only after tomorrow, Khushi thought.

After finishing what she had made for Arnav she had packed it carefully and neatly in the lunch-box. She untied the knot of her duppatta that she had made behind her back and set it near her neck. She smiled to herself and was about to leave for his office when Anjali called for.

"Khushi jee, why don't you call him and tell him that you are bringing lunch for him? What if he leaves for a hotel or orders for something?" –Anjali said as she handed her the cordless.

"Oh no Di, I'll surprise him. And I know he won't eat any where else." – Khushi said hurriedly. Anjali smiled and bid her goodbye. Khushi let a heave of sigh before sitting in the back seat of the car.

*

"Aman, send Lavanya up to my cabin as soon as you see her." –Arnav ordered to Aman through the phone.

"Yes sir, I will do that but I don't think she is here yet." –Aman told him looking order the office in the sign of Lavanya.

"Whatever just send her to me" –Arnav said as he shut the phone and started typing on his I-phone furiously as he usually did.

*

It took about 20 minutes to reach Arnav's office and the driver was driving slowly like the speed of the snail which made Khushi loath the driver. "Bhai, please jaldi jaldi chalaiyen na?" – Khushi said as she shifted uncomfortably on the back seat.

*

Arnav was reading through a file of the new deal that was being offered by the US delegates when he heard a knock on his door. He didn't bother looking up for who it was. He didn't hear anyone say anything when he was about to turn his chair, two long arms slide on to his torso. He looked up to find Lavanya, in the shortest light blue dress.

"Stop it Lavanya." –Arnav said, infuriated and he pushed her hands off of his chest.

"What happened ASR? You look pissed?" –Lavanya said sounding cheesy and sat down on the table corner.

"I'm not pissed; I just have to tell you one thing. And this is definitely not the place." –Arnav sighed. He mentally double checked his decision.

"Well, we can always go to my place." –Lavanya smirked seductively as she closed up the gap between Arnav and wrapped her hand around his neck.

"Lavanya stop it, okay? I mean it." –Arnav shrugged her hands away from him. "We can go to the coffee shop near by to talk. Its very important and definitely it can't wait." –Arnav continued has he grabbed his phone and walked out of the cabin with her following him.

*

"Bus, bus ap idher hi rok dein. Agay main chali jaongi aur wapis bhi khudi ajaon gi." –Khushi stopped just a few feet away from the office.

"Magar madam, main ap ko undar le jata hoon." –The driver advised.

"Uh… nahi jee, Thank-you." –Khushi smiled and got off before he could advise her further.

Khushi smiled as she reached the gates of AR and was suddenly stopped by the guard.

"Ah Miss, May I ask who you are?" –He questioned politely.

"I am Mrs. Raizada." –Khushi pressurized the word Mrs.

"Oh, I am so sorry Ma'am." –He suddenly said and opened the gates for her. Khushi had a smile reaching up to her ears because this would definitely annoy Arnav. Her steps were quick and the smile on her face grew wider; for some reason her heart was beating fast. But suddenly she stopped abruptly. She was stoned to the spot.

Arnav had not seen Khushi yet. Lavanya kept trying to get close to him and suddenly when they were out of the glass door of the office, Lavanya hooked her arms with his. He didn't want that. He never got the weird feeling when Lavanya touched him, but he did get those unexplainable feelings when he was with Khushi, close to her or when their hands touched unintentionally. He tried not to be close to Lavanya but she wouldn't let go.

Arnav was checking his phone as it buzzed in his pocket when he heard those magical anklets. He would lie if he said his heart didn't miss out a beat. He looked up after a second and found her smiling brightly and looking at the floor but then suddenly it was gone and she was pale, that beautiful smile was gone and she was like an expressionless statue in the middle of the path way. Arnav's heart itched; it was like being stabbed by a sharp knife.

He saw her eyes shifting to Lavanya and then back to him. She looked down at the lunch-box and then back at him. An expression of regret was on her face. Regret? Regret for what? Arnav questioned himself. Then it suddenly hit him, she brought lunch for him and then she saw Lavanya, thinking that he was going out with her. All happened in a matter of seconds.

Khushi looked down, getting herself away from his gaze. She looked down at her hands holding the lunch box tightly, as if everything depended on it. She smiled at her stupidity, what was she thinking?

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

Khushi gave a last glance back to Arnav and turned around to leave.

"Khushi…" –Arnav whispered. But she was out of the gate now. She felt herself being called but shoved the thought off, thinking that her heart was playing with her again. She kept walking.

Arnav looked at Lavanya and pulled his arm out of Lavanya's and started walking towards the gate. Actually almost running towards the gate…
