ARSHI FF:Richie Rich and Ms Pauper! Chp 11 upd 14/04 - Page 4

Here I go,

"Yeh kya ho raha hai??"

2 days pass.. Today's the day when Khushi was going to visit ARD with Ritwik. She was getting ready in her room while she sees Payal entering the room with flushed cheeks... Khushi smiles naughtily and thinks of pulling her leg, so says,"Lagta hai Jijaji ka phone aaj savere savere aaya tha! Kyun Jiji?"(Seems as if b-i-l had called you in the morning itself!) "Haan!", Payal replies still in her trance... Just then Khushi goes near her and taps on her shoulder, Payal comes out of her trance and looks at Khushi. Khushi raises one eyebrow at her. Payal immediately understands that she got caught by her little sister. "Ughh.. Khushi I would just bring your breakfast!" said Payal to cover her embarrassment and ran out of the room blushing... Khushi laughed heartily at her elder sister's state and continued getting ready...

In next half an hour the door-bell rang.. It was Ritwik.. Buaji opened the door but didn't recognise him. "Kaun ho tum babua?" Ritwik smiled at her and said,"Buaji, aapne mujhe pehchaana nahi? Main Ritwik, Khushi ka dost!" Then Buaji instantly remembered him as she had met him few years back when he and Khushi were studying together. Buaji had always liked him. She found him perfect for her Khushi. She also had brought this topic in front of Khushi a few times but Khushi didn't take it seriously. But now he was again standing before her. "arre Ritwik babua, aao aao andar aao!"(Come in!) she welcomed him heartily... "Hamari Titaliya ke pass kauno kaam tha kya?" (Did you have some work with Khushi?) she inquired. "Ji! Actually main usey hamari business meeting ke liye pick up karne aaya hoon!"(Yes! I hv come to pick up Khushi for our business meeting!), he replied. Just then Khushi walked out of her room with her bag. "Hey Beautiful! Ready for the meeting?" Ritwik asked her. "Umm... Yeah! Lets go!" Khushi smiled at him. Buaji looked in awe at both of them. "Arre Babua! Chai nahi piyoge kaa?" (Wouldn't you have tea?), she asked suddenly as she saw them getting ready to leave. "Abhi nahi Buaji! Phir kabhi!"(Not now! Some other time!),he replied politely. Then they both left Khushi's home and headed towards AR..

At AR,

Conference room was ready. Arnav was checking each and every thing again and again. He himself didn't know why... He was a perfectionist! Whatever he did was perfect, there was no need to check anything again. But he was doing it today. Everyone was surprised to see ASR so much concerned for such a mere conference. But there was 1 person who was enjoying all this.. It was none other than Akash! He had already informed Anjali. Anjali was due to come any minute after conference started. When Arnav was sure about the arrangements, he went to his cabin to rest for a while. In a few minutes Aman came to call him as Khushi and Ritwik had arrived. Arnav immediately turned his chair to see Khushi in red chudidar along with Ritwik walk in smiling at each other. Arnav felt a tinge of jealousy for Ritwik, he himself didn't know why! Just then a pair of hands glided around his torso, he turned to see Lavanya. He didn't give her any expression and started to move down with her. Khushi was talking with Akash when she saw Arnav and Lavanya walk down the stairs together, but acted indifferent. Then Arnav had a formal handshake with Khushi and Ritwik. They moved to the conference room. Their conference went on smoothly while Arnav and Khushi kept on glancing at each other till the time his beloved Di, Anjali sneak-peeked in their conference.

Seeing her, Arnav immediately got up having a faint idea for what reason was his Di here.. "Chote? Would u mind if i sit here till u guys get over with your conference?", Anjali asked innocently. He just rolled his eyes at her and said,"Yeah Di! You can!" Khushi turned to see the lady standing at the door and instantly smiled at her. Anjali too liked Khushi and mumbled,"Perfect for Chote!" and smiled to herself.. She then got seated to the other chair beside Arnav.. Khushi was still wondering how can such a charming lady be ASR's sister? Soon the meeting was over. The date and venue for the show were finalized. The show was to be held at Sheesh Mahal, 2 weeks later.. Arnav ordered the canteen boy to bring refreshments for them. By then, Khushi gets up and starts moving towards washroom. Anjali grabs this chance and decides to follow her, before Arnav could stop her. Arnav again rolls his eyes at his Di as he sees her moving outside the conference room and mumbles to himself, "Yeh kya ho raha hai?"

While in washroom, when Khushi comes out, Anjali acts as if she was fixing her hair and smiles at Khushi through mirror. Khushi too smiles at her. She then turns towards Khushi to face her and asks, "So you are Khushi? You are beautiful!" Khushi smiles at her hesitantly,"Erm.. Yes! Thank you for the compliment mam!" At this Anjali shrugs her shoulders and says,"Uhun.. Don't call me mam! I'm Anjali, Chote's..ughh... i mean Arnav's sister! I have heard a lot about you from Arnav and all your praises from Akash!" Khushi smiles at her again and says,"Akashji is really a nice person. Even i'm all praises about him! But Arnavji.." she stammered.. "Oh i also know how my Chote is! He's much arrogant and ruthless to people around him! Did he trouble you too?", asked Anjali curiously. "Oh no no Anjaliji! He's a bit arrogant but that's okay! He's a perfectionist!", said Khushi and smiled to herself. Anjali was more than happy as she could now see chances of getting her brother and Khushi together. Then they both moved out of the washroom and Anjali showed a thumbs-up to Akash as soon as she entered the conference room. Khushi too saw this and got confused and mumbled, "Yeh kya ho raha hai??"

HAPPINESS ALWAYS...
