The next morning

Khushi came to the kids' room to wake them up. She smiled as they were already up. She frowned because they were whispering something. She didn't know what they were whispering about. They straightened themselves seeing Khushi. She saw the bags in Shali and Shamli's hands. Those were the same bags Khushi bought and gifted them when they went to Nani's Ashram.

"What's cooking here?" Khushi asked.

They looked at Aarav who nodded his head from left to right hurriedly.

Khushi looked at them suspiciously.

"Won't you tell me?"

Aarav looked down. Khushi came to him and lifted his chin.

"Tell me, what were you guys talking about"

"Bhaiya remembered what you promised him" Shamli said.

Khushi frowned. She could not remember what she promised him. She tried to get it. Her eyes rooted on the bags in the twins' arms. Her brows went up. Yes... She promised Aarav that he would also get something that he liked so much. She made up herself.

"Promise? What promise?" She intentionally asked.

Aarav was silent.

"Didn't you say you would gift him what he liked?" Shali asked.

"Oh... That one?"

They nodded yes.

"I will give you. Now, you are getting late. Get ready for the school..."

They nodded ok sadly. Khushi left thier room smiling inwardly. She decided what to give Aarav. She wanted to do it surprisingly. That was why she acted coolly.

Khushi came to their room. Arnav was wiping his wet hair sitting on the rercliner. He stopped doing that seeing Khushi smiling.

"What happend?" He asked.

Khushi's smile brightened.

"I'm going to surprise Aarav this evening"

"What surprise?"

"Surprise..." She chuckled.

Arnav rolled his eyes and said,

"Don't spoil them..."

"Am I looking like a spoiler?"

"I didn't mean it"

"Then what did you mean?"

"You pamper them a lot, I suppose"

"You should feel happy for your wife doing that... Didn't you want your wife to love them?"

"Of course, I wanted to... But not to this extent. Don't you think your over-love will spoil them?"

"Are you spoilt?"

Arnav frowned.

"Means?"

"I mean, did my over-love spoilt you?" She asked controlling her smile.

Arnav looked at her sharply.

"If my over-love can spoil anyone, you must be the first one to be spoilt" she teased.

"Khushi, they are not like me. They don't know their limit..."

"Yes, they are not like you..." She said and went to the washroom, leaving stunning Arnav.

Of course, she repeated what he said but in the different tone. If the tone was different, the meaning would also be different. He knew that. What he didn't know was, the meaning her words had.

.............

Arnav and Khushi went to the office. AR staff respected Khushi unusually. They looked at her respectfully. She didn't know how to react to it.

She felt it awkward. She was not sure whether Arnav would like it if she had been easy with them like before. Arnav saw her suffocating. He headed his cabin smiling inwardly. She went to her cabin and took seat.

Khushi saw Aman entering her cabin. She stood up as usual and said,

"Good morning, sir"

"Good morning, Madam Boss..." Aman slightly bowed down.

"Sir, stop making fun"

"Fun? You are indeed our Boss now"

Khushi was supposed to say something, but stopped as she got a call. It was from Arnav.

"Hann, Arnavji..."

"Khushi, get Raj&Co's file from Aman and come to my cabin"

"Jee..." She disconnected the call.

"See, YES BOSS became HAAN ARNAVJI... Because, you became our Boss..." Aman smiled.

Khushi smiled, rolling her eyes.

"Arnavji asked Raj&co's file"

"Here it is"

Aman showed the file in his hand and kept it on the table.

"Thank you, sir" taking it, she headed to Arnav's cabin.

She knocked on his cabin door and waited for Arnav's COME IN. She again knocked as she didn't get any reply. She slowly opened the door and peeped in. She was taken back, seeing Arnav looking at the entrance smiling. She pushed the door wide, frowning.

"This is your husband's cabin, Remember?" He raised the question.

Khushi stood pressing her lips.

"Madam Boss doesn't need my permission to enter my cabin"

Khushi smiled. Arnav extended his hand asking for the file. Khushi gave it to him.

At the same time, Arnav's phone raised a message tone. Arnav opened the message and read it.

"Ohh... Shit... how did I forget it?"

"What happened, Arnavji?"

"There i

s a parents, teachers' meeting in the kids school today. Term test papers will be issued today. Usually, I call their class teachers after the parents teacher's meeting and enquiry about their progress but we have a client meeting at the same time"

Khushi thought for while and asked,

"Shall I attend the meeting?"

Arnav smiled and nodded.

"Oh yes, I will forward your number to their teachers. You can talk to them"

"No Arnavji, I would like to go to the school to attend the meeting"

Arnav suck for a few seconds.

"But, it's not necessary Khushi. We can talk to them on phone"

"You are a busy Businessman. So they considered your busy schedule so far. But now, I am here. I have no problem in going to their School"

"Are you sure?"

"Yup..."

"Will you attend all the meetings?"

"Yup, sure"

"Ok, go ahead... I will inform there teachers about your visit"

Khushi nodded ok. She came to her cabin and worked for the client meeting.

Break

Khushi smiled seeing Tara in her cabin.

"Hi, Tara..."

"Actually, I don't know how to treat you" Tara hesitated.

"Why?" Khushi frowned.

"You are our Boss now... I don't know if I can call you by your name"

Khushi kept her hands on her hip.

"Will you stop talking about the Boss stuff?"

Tara hugged Khushi lovingly.

"You are so sweet" She removed a box and gave it to Khushi.

"Wish you happy married life" She said.

"I am sorry, I was unable to invite you to my marriage"

"That's ok. I understood"

"Thank you for understanding me"

Tara smiled.

"What about today's client meeting? Did you remember it or forgot it in the wedding tension?" Tara teased.

"I do remember but I will not be in the office at the time of the meeting"

"But why?"

"I have another meeting"

"What meeting?"

"Parents teacher's meeting... I'm going to the kids' school to attend it"

"Oh... Motherly duty?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"You know what? You are so generous to accept someone's kids as yours"

Khushi so wanted to say, not more than Arnavji who sacrificed his life for someone's kids.

"I hope Arnav sir understands you"

"He does..."

"Nice to hear..."

"Let's go to the canteen" Khushi said.

"Will you come with me?"

"Why not? Let's go"

They came to the canteen and was about to enter but stopped hearing someone gossiping about Arnav and Khushi. No... They were not just gossiping but taunting them. Tara was about to go inside but Khushi clutched her hand and stopped her from entering.

"I didn't know Arnav sir is so talented to trap a young girl"

"He must be... Otherwise, how could she marry him leaving all the young eligible bachelors in our office and marry a widower who is a father of three kids?"

"It's because he has money. That's why she married to an old man. She will leave him after a few years and get married to someone... Mark my words"

"How are you so sure of it?"

"Why won't I be sure? He is forty now. Soon he will lose his ABILITY of satisfying her. What will she do after that? She will divorce him and marry someone. Or, she will have an affair with someone"

"That means, we all will have a chance"

They chuckled. Tara was looking at Khushi horrified. She didn't know what Khushi would do. Khushi stepped inside the canteen. The place became silent seeing Khushi. She headed to the persons who taunted them. In no time, she removed her slipper anbd hit both of them hard, gritting her teeth, making everyone stunned.
