Khushi stared at her plate, making random patterns on it. Today's events were playing in her mind again and again. He broke up with lavanya. The intensity in his eyes when he announced that he breaking up with lavanya scared her. Stop! Stop it khushi! He break up with lavanya or be with her, it should not matter with you. You work there. So just concentrate on that. Go, Work and come Home. No need to think or take interest in him or his personal life.

"Khushi!!" Startled by her sister's high pitched voice as she nudged her, she looked up at payal in confusion, her mind too slow to come out of previous thoughts.

"Huh! Wha..what jiji?" She asked shaking her head slightly to clear her mind.

Payal placed her hand on her forehead checking if khushi has temperature or not. Finding her temperature normal, she asked concerned for her. "Khushi, why are you not eating your food. It is your favourite aloo puri. What happened? Are you not feeling well?"

Khushi looked at her sister's worry filled eyes reminding her how protective her sister could be for her. Smiling at her slightly, she spoke, "Oh ho.. Why are you worrying jiji? I am fine! Its just that I am little tired and want to rest. I am not in the mood to eat tonight. "

Payal looked at her in suspicion. Khushi should know better than anyone that her jiji can look past her lie and this, she would never believe it. Even happyji would know that she is speaking white lie knowing that khushi kumari gupta can never say no to food even at midnight.

Khushi sighed. But its true that she is not feeling hungry with her stomach already filled the thoughts of certain someone. Clasping her sister's hands, she reassured her, "Jiji, I am FINE! I am just tired, that's all. Had lot of work on the office. I am just going to sleep. Ok?"

"What kind of people are here!" Khushi muttered angrily, bending on her knees to pick up the scattered papers from the floor. "Have no manners to help the person who you bumped into causing the papers to fly everywhere and they call themselves high class people. Humph!! "

With her head bent, khushi continued to pick up the papers. She found few papers at the far end of the corridor. "They flew that far!" she strode toward them and bend down to pick them up. If I keep bending down like this that day is not far when I'll be having back problem.' As she was about to pick the last one, her hand stopped in mid air, looking at the shoe that stepped on the paper. Clearly, infuriated she looked up to give that person her piece of mind only to find her voice gone looking at the person's face. And what is that she felt in her heart? Like a needle pricked inside her chest. She continued to look at him with strange emotion unknown to herself, as Arnav Singh Raizada walked away without noticing her, clearly busy in the call with someone important. His face was stern with no emotion. It reminded her of Arnav Singh Raizaida who, not many days ago, welcomed her to hell.

Now, why her mind is pointing ou the differences between the man who, true to his words, made her life hell and the man who himself offered her a good job? Arrgghh!! Snap out of it khushi!' She placed the papers on the desk and sat on the chair to arrange them in correct order. Suddenly, she felt someone's eyes on her. Her automatically moved up an sure enough, there he was. He stood tall in his cabin, looking down at her with the same intensity in his eyes. Again her mind flashed the same image of him in the same place, looking at her from above but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes at that time and not this intensity that could burn her. She looked away from as he continued to stare at her.

Lost in these thoughts, khushi skipped her lunch.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"...and khushi, postpone my meeting with Mr. Singhania..." Khushi nodded writing down every instructions on her notepad.

She shook her head to clear her vision. What is happening? She blinked her eyes few times as her vision got clear. But the next second, she felt darkness engulfing her.

Arnav looked up at the sound of dropping something on the table reached his ears. The sight shook him.

The notepad slipped away from her limp hands as her eyes were on the verge of closing in. Running towards her in time to have her unconscious body in his arms, he quickly scooped her in his arms. His body trembling with fear he never experienced. Settling her on the couch, he picked the glass of water from the table and sprinkled the water on her face, patting her cheeks, calling her out. "Khushi...open your eyes dammit!"

He was just on the verge of calling the doctor when she opened her eyes slightly. "Khushi..here..drink some water." He placed the glass of water on her lips, urging her to drink it slowly.

Gaining some strength back, she attempted to come out of his embrace.

"Stay still!" He hissed not removing his arms around her. "What did you had in lunch today?" He enquired thinking she must have eaten something from the canteen. In his mind he was already making plan to fire that chef and to hire new catering company.

"Lunch..??" She uttered as if he had asked her something out of the world. And it was enough for him to know that she has skipped her lunch.

"Breakfast..??" He asked narrowing his eyes at her, while taking out the mobile from his pocket, already dialing his manager's number. Her blank face was an answer itself.

"Bring all the dishes from today's menu in my cabin. Make it fast." He ordered his stunned manager.

And within few minutes, all the items were placed on his table. He poured small amount of every dish on the plate and brought it to her face, "EAT!"

She made no move to eat it and kept staring at him blank. So, he broke a piece of roti, dipping it in the dal before he brought it to her lips. "Open your mouth..please."

Slowly she parted her lips, too stunned to digest that this man, The Arnav Singh Raizada is not only taking care of her but is feeding her with his own hands.

He kept on feeding her with his hands as she continued to eat silently.

But there was someone who witnessed this rare sight, burning her soul. Lavanya with her eyes spitting fire, stomped out there making plans to get back to that low class girl.
