Arshi SS-'Adopted'. LINK TO THREAD-2 ADDED ON PG-1 30-11 - Page 45

hi..

Crazy4Sobti ji.. I am glad that you like my writing. This story was supposed to be an OS, and the first chapter was supposed to be the one and only part, hence the title.. But our dear forum waasis liked it so much that they coaxed me to write more, since then it has been a TS, an SS and finally on the verge of being an FF. I now feel that name is not apt for the FF as adopted was the theme of OS, not FF.. but I have decided to stick with it now. Hoping that you will like it further and let me know about your views. 😊

It may seem as a up-down, love-betrayal kind of theme mixed with family and romance ,But its not so. Its too emotional as its centred around the journey of Khushi from being an orphan to being a wife of a cassanova.

i wud say that each update screams Khushi's pain in a subtle way.

My heart goes out for Khushi. one doesnt need to write elaborate dialogues .Just few scnes are sufficient enough to feel the pain of Khushi here.

When guilt dawns on arnav want him to realise that

1. He did background check on Khushi and he knew she was no nonsense girl. Ok with the excuse of going abroad he wanted to run away for a while.Fine. But he is not a guy who can control his hormones for so long. So surely slept with fancy faces in that one month...and wen he returned still he was stuck with those Lisa and all models for his libido . He shud feel ashamed that he knew khushi was no cheap women, and more importantly he knew how his jiju cheated on his sister. How painful is the truth of extra marital affair . How cud he cheat at her. so what even if there was no relationship between them. why dint he place himslef in place of shyam nd Khushi in place of anjali.? So want him to regret heavily on it. He cant place himslef in place of anjali thinking that being a men he wud be cheated by a middle class wife. so he hated marriage.

But he has to think from Khushi's perspective.

Khushi doesnt show her pain that doesnt mean she is unaffected.i think she is only trying to minimise her pain by diverting her mind to other options naming it as positivity. Obviously Khushi loves the raizadas and she has accepted her condition as a way to continue then to weep.But that is not natural happiness. so arnav has mistaken khushi that she is happy avoiding him.


2. Arnav must realise Khushi had been cold towards him just for his sake.Not to hamper his life, especially his colourful life to be precise. She was walking away leaving the lunch box , so that he can sit his food in peace without the presence of wife he has thrown away from his life. Khushi sacrifices at each point, even now But instead arnav thinks she is avoiding for her own reasons like hate for him.

most importantly

tHis anjali di shud do something for Khushi. Ahead i hope one day, with her and nani's some money they buy a flat for Khushi and get her into a job into another fashion house..and apologise to her for tying her with chotey. They shud assure her that staying away doesnt change her equations wit other raizadas.It will remain same .Just that she shud get rid of a useless husband .and anjali and nani shud say arnav that- we are sorry to you.Now we cant jeopardise Khushi's future more badly. so here are divorce papers. U both can separate.. and u r free to roam around with ur eye candies.

and later do unite our arshi beautifuuly😃

👏

nd dis is from me for ur observance ...not once did i thnk dat thngs might have happened in this angle...
i really have now understood the story more deeply after reaing ur views on the same...yeah its actully nt fair on arnav's part wen he himslef has seen his di being betrayed in a relationship...suffering from xtra marital affair...so wen he himself is married he should hav avoid doing dat...though he did nt commit to khushi in words but yeah marriage in itself is a commitment...ofcourse at dis point of time the writer has nt provided us wd ne details of his trip bt going by the records of this casonova...nd his does give us dis believe dat he might have slept wd gals. or his models...i dnt xpect him to control his harmones for one month...his indifference nd no xchange of words wd khushi after his marriage nd be4 leaving adds to my belief...i hope he does stop it now.. again...wen he was nt interested in khushi...he had no right to go for a background check...

i want dis khushi to get evythng in life...career ...family...love...respect...nd the "auhda" in the family...evythng...dat the khushi in the show could nt...

nd yeah i agree dis indeed is a masterpiece,,,,,update...????
👏

Hi, thanks for the reply, and can't wait to see you will unleash your evilness

awesome part 7...loved it😳😳

u online??? matlb update coming...m waiting...damn sleepy

Part- 8

Girls I have been trying since past half an hour, but I can't put pictures. So instead of making you wait more, I am putting up the update. Those who know, please help me with the procedure of putting up pics. Baki wahi wali baatein, new readers please send me a buddy request for PMs, all readers please let me know your views, and now I will shut up and let you enjoy the update.

"Alright NK! Its about an hour past the lunch hour, you go and take a lunch break of 45 minutes. After that meet me in my cabin, we have to discuss the tasks to be provided to each of our new team members."

Anjali Raizada never knew that interviewing the candidates could be such fun. She had met 8 candidates since morning and she had never smiled so much, albeit inside her mind. She couldn't smile in front of the candidates, well that would be a bit unprofessional. But what to do with the namoona who was sitting besides her and whispering in her ears, commenting and predicting answers of each candidate, on the pretext of passing "some important information". And man was he correct!! It was as if he could read minds. And his twisted commentary at the end of each interview was making it difficult for Anjali to stop her bubbling laughter. Despite his funny comments, he was also pointing out the strength and weakness of each candidate, and at the end of interview session Anjali was even more grateful to her brother for providing assistance in form of this "namoona". Apparently he was recommended by Aman, the man friday of ASR as the world knew him, for the post of Anjali's assistant till the time she found one for herself. Nand Kishore, or NK as he liked to be called, was a person who had a innate ability to read persons and draw out their strengths, which he masked below his warm and funny nature. This combined with his habit of butchering hindi, whenever he could. He would be able to keep the team to the mark per se with his presence as well as keep the environment stress-free, so by the end Anjali had decided that he would be a permanent part of the team as her assistant, meanwhile finalizing the appointment letters of three other candidates for her team.

When she noticed the time her eyes widened to see that so many hours had passed since she started with the interviews. After she had ordered NK to take a lunch break and started moving to her cabin, but at last moment decided to check with Arnav whether he had his lunch.

She raised her hand to knock the gate, but her hand instead knocked a head, signified by a loud "He devi maiyya!" A horrified Anjali snatched her hand back and frantically screeched "He bhagwaan!! Aapko lagi to nahin?" (OMG!! You din't get hurt, did you?")

When both persons looked at each others face, another collision took place, this time of voices. "Di!!!" "Khushiji!!" Both screeched simultaneously. This time Arnav winced loudly and placed a hand on his ears, glaring on them, the action rendering a giggle from his sister while his wife, just rolled her eyes.

" Di!!! Kaisi hain aap?? Kaisa rha aapka pehla din ab tak? Aur aap ab Khaane khaengi, kitna late ho gaya hai di, aapka pehle din hi ye haal hai to aagey kya hoga!" ("Di!!! How are you?? How was your day till now? And its now you have got time to eat your lunch, it's so late, if this is your way on first day then god knows what will happen later.") As usual Khushi didn't need an invitation to get started.

"Khushiji Khushiji Khushiji!!! Shaant ho jaiye, dekhiye ab hum khana kha lenge. Wo hum apni team ke interviews le rahe the. Aur hamein aapko ek achhi baat bhi batani hai, par usse pehle hum aapko batana chahte hain ki aapko yahan dekhakr hamein bohat achha laga. Aap hamare liye tiffin lekar aayi hain na?" (Khushiji Khushiji Khushiji!!! Be calm, see I will eat now. Actually I was taking interviews for my team. And I have to tell you a good news, but before that I want to tell you that I am so happy to see you here. You have brought lunch for me, isn't it?")Anjali was back to her chirping mode, Arnav noted, gone was the sauve and sophisticated Anjali from morning. He wondered if the reason was Khushi alone, and what "achhi baat" was his Di talking about?

"Haan di, hum aapke saath khana khane hi yahan aaye the, par ab to humne khana kha lia hai..." (Yes Di, I came here to have lunch with you, but now I have eaten..") Khushi finished with a guilt note in her voice.

" Arre to issmein pareshan hone waali kya baat hai? Achha kia jo aapne khana kha lia, hamein pata hai ki aapse bhookh bardasht nahin hoti, aur agar aap hamare intezaar mein bhookhi rehti to hamein bura lagta. Aur rahi baat saath mein khaane ki, to hum log abhi cafeteria mein chalte hain, hum apna lunch kar lenge aur aapko ..umm...haan, aapko pastry khilaate hain, hamari treat! Aur wo is khushi mein ki hamari poori team select ho gayi hai, ab hum kaam shuru kar sakte hain!"(So what is the big deal about it? Its good that you have eaten, I know that you can't bear hunger, and if you had remained hungry while waiting for me then that would have made me feel so bad. And if its company for me you are worried about, then we can both go to cafeteria. I can have my lunch there and you...um..yes, I will treat you with a pastry. That because my complete team has been selected and I can start my work now.") Anjali clapped her hands gleefully, spending time with her sweet bhabhi was second best stress reliever for her, seconded only by her time spent with Kavya. Her mood and spirits were high at the moment, courtesy a very successful first half of her first day at office and ofcourse, the pleasant company she had for that time period.

" Aap bohat khush lag rahi hain Di..devi maiyya kare aap hamesha aise hi muskuraati rahein." ("You are looking very happy Di, may devi maiyya keep you smiling like this always.") Khushi was genuinely happy to see her Di's face glowing.

Just then a group pf employees passed through them, wishing a "Good afternoon mam" to Anjali, to which Anjali nodded curtly with schooled expressions.

" Kya baat hai Di!!! Aate hi raub jama lia aapne to, kya style se sar hilaya!" (Wow di!! You have made such an impression on the very first day, what a style with which you nodded) Khushi imitated Anjali with her usual exaggeration, which resulted in both of them erupting in giggles.

Meanwhile our hero, who was sitting there watching both of them engaged in their own world, was getting more and more irritated by each second. What is with these ladies, they are standing there and talking as if he was invisible. When he couldn't bear it further he hissed furiously

"In case you have forgotten you are standing in my cabin, not some roadside corner. So I will appreciate if you two could take your gossiping outside my cabin and more appropriately, outside my office."

"Chhote, In case you are forgetting I am a 35% share holder of your company, while you own only 30%. So technically it is MY company and MY office. And I am on my lunch break and I can talk as much I want, even if it is not lunch break. Anyways, would you like to join me and Khushiji in our little treat?" Anjali had again donned the poker face she had kept on her face since morning .

"No Di, I am busy!!" Arnav still wasn't habitual of 'Raizada"avatar of Di, so he murmured a bit quitely.

"What busy, Haan? You are just sitting there, glaring at two of us. Okay just tell me, what is it you are so busy in doing, that you can't spare 15 minutes?" Anjali asked with a fake understanding voice while adding "and your wife" under her breath.

"Whatever Di!! I am not interested. Spare me please. And I have had my lunch already" he replied in an uninterested voice.

" Your choice Chhote! Chaliye Khushiji, hum cafeteria chalte hain" with that Anjali started picking up her the tiffin which was not her chhote's, she knew which one was his.

"RUKIYE DI!!! Wo...aap...aap aaj Arnav ji ke tiffin se kha lijiye. Aapka tiffin.." (Stop Di!! Actually...you..you will have to eat from Arnavji's tiffin today. Your tiffin..) Khushi started , but stopped as soon as she reached the piece of information'. Now that her hunger was satisfied, her brain had started working and she was realizing what exactly had happened, not the Arnav forcing her part, but both of them having lunch together part.

"Di, Khushi mistakenly unpacked your lunch, thinking it is your cabin. So we had to finish it. You can have mine." Arnav came up with the best story of millennium, or so he thought. No way was he letting Di know that he forced Khushi to have lunch with him.

Arnav was stunned to see Khushi's mouth opening in the biggest and most indignant, unladylike O' he had ever seen. Her eyes widened, her nose scrunched, her forehead crinkled; all in all she was such a comical picture at the moment, that he had to put his hand on his lips to stop himself from smiling.

Khushi couldn't believe her ears. This Sadu Singh Raizada, he put the blame on her. As if, as if... as if she had forced him to eat from Di's tiffin. It was him who came up with the idea of eating from her tiffin, and now...grrr.

"Di!! Ye sarasar jhoot..." (Di!! He is absolutely lying...) before Khushi could speak more, the devil came back in his avatar and spoke in a measure tone "Its okay Khushi! Its not a big deal. Aagey se dhyan rakhna, mujhe apni cheezein share karna pasand nahin hai, but Di is an exception. Aap jaiye Di, lunch kijiye." ( Its okay Khushi! Its not a big deal. Do take care in future, I don't like to share my things but Di is an exception) he said with a tone of dismissal.

"Chaliye Khushi ji!" Anjali dragged Khushi with her, but before leaving the room, Khushi looked back and gave such a look to Arnav, which could put laser beams to shame. She finished with a huff , and moved out of the room.

This time Arnav couldn't keep the smug smile away from his face. He had successfully broken the ego of little spitfire called Khushi , with first forcing her to have lunch with him and then making it all as an mistake, that too at Khushi's part. He mentally patted his back and got on with his work.

That night , before Khushi Singh Raizada slept, she made a promise to Devi Maiyya, that she will pay back Arnav Singh Raizada for his prank on her, that too with interest. She already had a plan in her kitty and all she had to do was to wait for the next day to arrive. She slept with a smile on her face.

That night, before Arnav Singh Raizada Slept, he made a promise to himself, that he will show the egoistic (look who is talking ladkio!) and full of attitude lukhnawi maid what Arnav Singh Raizada is capable of. If she thought that she could live happily in HIS house, with pulling HIS family on HER side, all the while ignoring HIM, then she was very much mistaken. He will use every opportunity to show that girl that it was him who controlled everything. He slept with a smile on his face.

Thank you so much for the brilliant response on last update. And in case you are left wondering, the achhi baat Anjali wanted to tell was that she has selected her team.

..uhh i missed the frst spot

ok so we have NK here...m wondering wat role he has to play here...is my fav jealousy track coming up...u know wat i love a very very possessive arnav...may be coz of the way barun played it...even during the last days of the show he turned me into a smiling fool wen he was getting all possesive nd angry wen dat reporter flirted wd his lady...

neways coming bak to the story. ...i love dis confident anjali...nd i love dis bod between the two ladies...its fun to read deir dialogues...specially khushi;s...

nd here we have the epitome of egoism Mr. ASR...who forced his wife to have lunch wd him...nd wen it comes to acceptance turned the table in a manner to make oders belive dat it was al khusi's fault...start accepting dear u are affected...

in the show i was i love wd khushi's Os... succeeded by arnavs amused smile...
wd this arnav trying 2 hide his smile u took me to the cliff scene where arshi planned akash's suicide to unite payash...nd how arnav tried hiding his smile...wen khushi was being all crazy..

so here we start wd I-will-show-u -ur- game...lets see who wins...though i know khusi will win both ASR's heart nd the game...i wish NK plays a major part here...(dats my guess)..

wat the HELL did he just call her a lukhnowi maid...like seriously...u need to make him taste his own medicine😡😡😡😡...nd we had dis RAJA forcing the luknawi maid to have lunch wd him...huhhh

i m loving the hindi dialogues a lot...

nd the effort u put on to translate the hindi ones to english ones for ur non hindi readers is commendable...u deserve dis👏

y does ur updates are so short...m so xcited wen i start reading...nd d moment i reach d end m already sad thnking il hav to wait for it...for anoder 2 days or so...😡

hmmm ASR always wants to score a point, how Khushi will retaliate ????

Res-

-unres

the Hindi in this SS is refreshing, seriously its been long that i have read such good and Pure Hindi!

I read that you are thinking to end it up in some 3 chps..? Kyun?

Yaar, the no. Of chapters that you've given to build the whole story, i guess some equally no. Of chps would be required to build their relationship!

They pratically are strangers, Knowing Nothing about each other, who have been thrown in a situation or put up in a bond that they are forced to stay together!

Even then, just knowing, would turn to a li'll friendshp sorts and then maybe some LOve might come! You can't do a jingala -hoo -haa.. And make them Fall in Love!

Besides i've just started reading it, i wanna experince the pleasure of reading and commenting on it!

Your's is such brilliant SS, please don't hurry up with it! Give it all the time it deserves!

In this chapter:

Anjali has found her new Assistant quite amiable and funny, leading to which she smiled and laughed more than ever!

Well, when two ladies are together, they can talk endless, even if it were the last day on the earth!

While Arnav is getting mischievious! He deliberatly put entire blame on Khushi, potarying himself as the innocent-ASRish Lamb! :P

What's cooking in shaatir dimaag of Khushi's?.. And arnav shudn't call her as 'Maid' , thats insulting!
