Chapter Sixteen: New Place, Familiar Face(s)

AR Designs

Arnav was working on some files in his cabin when Rishi knocked. Arnav told him to come in.

"Then in that case, S-Sir you are invited to a party hosted by our client Mr Oberoi!!!!"

He handed over the invitation card to Arnav. Arnav saw that Rishi was excited!

"Party main mujhe bulaya hai, but tumhare mann main kyun laddoo phoot rahein hain?" Arnav asked him sharply

Rishi was utterly baffled hearing that!

"Then in that case, S-S-S-S---"

"By chance if you have a girlfriend & incase you are harboring marriage plans then I am generous enough to give you a half day leave. " Arnav chuckled.

Rishi was rendered speechless. He was so jittery that he had to use all his fading strength to scurry out of the cabin! Arnav was indeed a devilish boss!

Khushi was welcomed warmly in Raizada Mansion by Nani & Arjun, Arnav's dad.

"Feel at home Khushi!" Nani told her.

And undoubtedly Shanaya snided the idea of Khushi staying in the Mansion.

"Yeah! Now toh Ms Chandigarh Airlines will be landing here often!!!!!!!" she snorted.

Apart from her, there was one more soul in the Raizada family who didn't quite like Khushi's arrival & was judgmental about her. She was Manorama mami!

"Hello hi bye bye, Who is this phati saree?" whispered mami.

"A despo who dreams ASR will fall for her." Shanaya whispered back looking at Khushi in a scum manner!

When Khushi smiled looking at Manorama, she plainly refused to acknowledge her. That startled Khushi! Yeah! Mami wanted to be fashionable like Lavanya, so she blindly trusted La & wanted her to be in a relationship with Arnav! Sheesh!

Nani escorted Khushi to the room where she would stay.

Khushi cast her awestruck hazels around her room... She felt every inch of a princess as her eyes acquainted her with the royalness of the room. Not only the room but the entire Raizada Mansion was not less than a dream! A line of gleaming stylish cars parked themselves outside. Spiral staircases led to the upper floors inside the Mansion. The butlers in their tuxedo suites possessed efficiency. English windows & Greek furniture formed the perfect interiors of the Mansion along with the golden marble flooring which proudly reflected the ostentatious & elegant chandelier above in the hall. The kitchen too boasted of modern sophisticated appliances where chefs carried on with their expertise!

Khushi stepped out of her room to notice that the corridors of the Mansion were flanked by long white curtains which swayed to & fro whenever the air nosed in. The intricate flower vases placed in every corner only added to the richness & beauty of the Mansion!

She walked back to her room, enchanted. Her reverie was broken when she turned around to face Shanaya...

"You know what Khushi!! Do yourself a favour!!! Why don't you marry Arnav Bro & come here permanently then you wouldn't have to run behind him always, right??!!!!"

Her unfriendly voice evinced sarcasm...Khushi was taken aback hearing such a remark!

"Thanks for the suggestion but I neither like you nor your brother! So trash the thought!" she shot back!

"I don't understand why you took up fashion designing as I am pretty sure you don't even know what fashion is. Look at yourself in the mirror!"

Khushi was hurt & even angry hearing those insulting words. But still she controlled herself!

"Actually, I don't wish to be make-up ki supermarket like you!" Khushi replied calmly.

Shanaya ruefully staged a walk-out!

Khushi fell on the bed in a relaxing manner. Her head was aching a bit. The day was indeed hectic! Her eyes fell on Arnav's photo frame kept on the desk.

"Why hasn't he returned from office yet?Uh...Wait a minute, why am I thinking about him?!"

~*~

Arnav was in the car heading to the Mansion. His mind was pre-occupied with Khushi's thoughts & he caressed her ear-ring passionaltely...His mind was too engrossed in her to even think what was happening to him...

"I want to see her right now!!!!!!!!"

Arnav walked in the Mansion battling his urges to meet Khushi. The Raizadas were in the hall itself and then...AND THEN...when Arnav looked up randomly, he saw Khushi descending down the staircase….

"Khushi here???"

He was shocked as well as surprised. He stared at her extensively making sure she was there in reality...And when that was confirmed, his somewhat dazed eyes turned notorious...

Khushi didn't expect that he would appear in front of her just out of the blue! Her eyes intensely locked with his... Khushi felt weak in her knees & clutched the staircase railings with all her might, fearing every chances of tumbling off the stairs...! She heard her heart beating very fast!

Their almost-a-minute-eyelock was halted when Nani spoke to Arnav.

"Bitwa,Khushi will be staying with us for a few days!"

Even though he pretended to all that he is least bothered, his eyes had already conveyed the reality to Khushi...She turned her eyes away from him...He smirked inwardly...

"Interesting! Very Very Interesting...!"

Manorama mami got a slight hint that perhaps there was something cooking between Arnav & Khushi! She spoke to Lavanya about it!

"Ah! Chillax Mami ji! Do hell with whoever this Khushi is! It's only I in the whole world who can make ASR go weak in his knees! Any other girl like Khushi can only dream & nothing else!"

La was very proud...

After dinner, Khushi walked back to her room. She was just about to close the door when Arnav clutched her hand. He had that mischievous glint in his dark eyes. She looked away.

"Khushi! As you have forgotten to put a 'No Entry' board, you must welcome me inside!"

His voice was velvety which made her heart skip a beat!

"No!!!!Don't you know it is bad manners to come in a girl's room late at night??!!" she snapped.

"Aww! You broke my heart!!" he complained, smirking.

"Don't you think your heart "breaks" too many times in a day??!!"

"Ab kya kare Khushi, dil toh bachcha hai ji!" he said smirking.

Khushi frowned.

"Listen Mr Arnav Singh Raizada, I will complain to Naniji if you trouble me!!" she threatened.

Arnav took out her ear-ring from his pocket & showed it to her.

"Hey! This is my fav ear-ring! I-I-I was searching for it since when!!!" she exclaimed.

The moment she was about to take it from him, he jerked his hand away! Then she found herself caged between the wall & him...He inched more closer & his warm breaths fell on her face... Khushi was dazed & numb as her eyes met his intoxicant ones...Her breaths trembled as she sensed his face & fingers nearing her right ear…She clutched her dress tight as she felt his touch on her ear-lob...She began breathing heavily as he slowly inserted the ring in her ear...Her earlobe felt heavy as the light long ear-ring dangled from it...He felt himself lost in her... The trance in which they were in was deeper enough to not let them know or understand how close they were...

"I-I had promised Buaji that I will maintain distance from you." she tried to remain stiff

"A promise not well kept! Or should I say….A promise which cannot be kept! " His voice was deep & husky.

She shrieked ."I-I-I will keep my promise!!!"

"Try Try till you know I will never let you succeed!" his voice was deep & passionate...similar to his eyes...

Arnav then left closing the door behind him...Khushi was alone again...Her heart took a lot of time to resort to normal breathing as the feel of his touch & the depth of his voice refused to leave her...
