This is regarding Khushi's character...she is a brown girl...body type resembles Sonakshi Sinha

this is her skin tone

"Hello...Ms Khushi...seems like your scooty is not cooperating with u...."
"Ohhh...you...hmm...Mr...sorry I forgot your name..."

"Arnav"

"Yes, Mr. Arnav...it is..."
"Let me check it"
Saying this Arnav tried to start it and checked her scooty...and told the real problem with the scooty
"I don't mind dropping u home...please allow me to drop you home"
"No thats OK...I can manage...."
"If we were in some other place I would have let u go alone...but in India is too dangerous to let a girl be alone at this time"
Khushi is in a dilemma
"I understand your concern....do one thing, call your parents and tell them that I'm dropping you....you can even message them the number of my car, so that even if I kidnap you they can save you"
Khushi laughed hearing him...
"OK I will come with u..."
They entered the car....
"Inform your parents that I'm dropping you home. I'm serious about that..."
Khushi called her parents and told that her friend is dropping her.
"So how is your father doing?"

"He is fine...and looking forward to dine in your restaurant."

"That's so sweet of him."

"I heard that you started your restaurant 'Salt and Pepper' six months back. How is it going?"

"As a toddler in this business, it's been good till now. What about you Mr. Arnav? What are you doing?"

"I work in a company."

"Which one?"

"AR Designs"

"Ohh, that's so great. I have heard about it...that they employs differently abled people too, that's a good thing. Then your boss ASR...also heard that he has a reputation of being rude and arrogant"

"Yeah, he does have" Arnav said

AR Designs is a fastest growing company. Popular among people related to fashion and glamour but not to the public.

On reaching home
"It was nice talking to you Ms.Khushi....can we be friends?"
"Sure, why not? But one condition...."

"What?"

"You have to call me Khushi, not Ms Khushi"

"Ok, Khushi"

"So Friends..." Khushi asked him holding her hand out.

"Friends" Arnav replied giving the shake hand.

Arnav started the car and called her.
"Khushi...mmm...phone...I mean bye..."
Khushi laughed.... and gave him, her card....
"You will find my number in the card... Friends don't hesitate to talk.... Good night Arnav... Convey my regard to your father.... Hope that I will see u both soon...thanks for the ride"
"Good night... Khushi...."

Arnav stayed there till she entered the house. He smiled looking at the card.
Arnav reached Shantivan.... Aravind noticed the smile plastered on his face and had a wild guess about the reason behind that smile.
"How was your meeting with Khushi?"
"It was wonderful" Arnav realized what he said
"I mean my meeting with the client was wonderful" he tried to cover up his slip of tongue.
"Now a days u don't tell me anything... you started restaurant business and didn't even care to tell me about it. I'm your father Arnav
"Who told you this rubbish thing?"
"Then how can Khushi be your client if you are not into restaurant business" Arvind asked with a smirk. Arnav understood that his father caught his lie.
"OK....I accidentally met Khushi. On my way, I found her and her scooty was not working. So I dropped her home.
"Accidentally????? Why would you take that route when we have a short cut?" Arvind asked raising his eyebrow.
"I highly doubt that you were a lawyer in your previous birth..... you are throwing questions at me ...one after another"
"And I doubt that you were the one I was against when I was a lawyer..." Arvind replied. Arnav know that he can't argue with his father.
"OK....you were the one who told me to explore what I feel....so I went there."
"Omg....I thought you will take it slowly as you sucks at romance.... But u kept my legacy intact, I was like this with your mom. You got my best genes.... "
"Papa.... She agreed to be my friend and she asked about you...."
"She is a sweet girl.... I really hope that she is not like you?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your nose...?"
"What?? My nose???"
"A bundle of anger stay there always" Arvind said pinching the tip of Arnav's nose.

At Khushi's home
Khushi is in her room. Thinking about Arnav and his dad. She liked the father-son duo. She doesn't know why she trusted Arnav today, even accepted his friend request. All she know was that Arnav is different from the man she seen in her life.
Arnav and Arvind visited her cafe a couple of time
Arshi do message each other. Wishes good morning and everything, asking about how their day went. They had small WhatsApp chats. Arvind and Khushi to became friends

So one day Arnav asked her out on Sunday as both of them are free.... For seeing a movie which she mentioned in their casual chat. Arnav was not into movies but still planned it so that he can spent time with her

On Sunday,
"You know I would have come with you....but I can understand that it is a date. How lucky u are....during our time it was hard to go out with your mom when we were in the college"
"It is not a date papa....I mean I don't ask her like that. It is like two friends going for an outing"
"But for you, it is like a date at least and why are you in your office costume?"
"For watching the movie" Arvind started laughing hearing his reply while Arnav stood there watching him
"I can't believe....you are going in this costume... Don't you want her to like you."
"What if I wear this or not"
"I want you to change this....or else I will also come with you and sit in between you two"
"Papa... you can't do that...."
"I will do that if you don't change this attire"
"OK.... I will change"
"Take me to your wardrobe Arnav" Arvind demanded.
Arnav lifted Arvind and showed him his wardrobe
"Wear this."

Arnav reached the theatre....
"You look different.... I mean I have never see you in casuals.... Its good"
"You are also looks nice...I mean beautiful..."

Khushi blushed

Throughout the film Arnav was watching Khushi...how her expressions changed according to each scene. The tear she had when she witnesses the lead pair getting separated...the beautiful full blown smile she had when they got united.

After the movie finishes....
"So what should we do now?
"There is a park near to this street...maybe we can go there"
"But I want to have something."
"OK...let's eat first....come"
"Hmm do you mind if we go somewhere else....to have food...."
"No. I don't mind it"
"Then come with me.." Khushi took his hand, walked outside.
They reached near a small pani puri stall...
"You want to have pani puri....?"
"Yes...don't you like it??"
"I like it...me and papa used visit the pani puri stall near to our home when I was small. Sometimes we will challenge each other. You know pani puri eating competition." Arnav smiled remembering about those days.

"and who used to win?" Khushi asked
"It was papa, he can't have food after a limit because of his body. So I used to let him win"
"It is wonderful to see the smile on their face when we do things like that...."
"Seems like you too did that...."
"With my nani...."
"Arnav, let's have a pani puri challenge."
"OK...sure.... But what will be the reward...???"
"You want reward???"
"I'm a businessman and I do want returns ...."
"Businessman???"
"I mean...I work for a businessman and always in middle of discussion about deals and all"
"In that case I'm also a businesswoman"
"OK...those who fail have to do what the winner ask them to do"
"OK agreed"
"Let's start"

In middle of their pani puri competition.

Khushi was busy stuffing pani puris in her mouth. Arnav was about to put a puri in his mouth and saw a horrified Aman looking at him. Aman can't believe that the angry ASR is having pani puri standing near to the road side.

"Arnav, why are you not having pani puris?" Khushi asked him but didn't get any reply. She saw him looking at a man.

"Do you know him Arnav?" Khushi asked placing her hand on his shoulder.

"He works in AR."

"Ohh, he is your colleague." Khushi waved at him.

Aman started moving towards them.

"Hello...A..." Aman was about to address him as ASR, but arnav stopped him.

"Hello Aman...This is my..err.. friend Khushi...and Khushi, he is Aman."

"Its nice meeting you Mr. Aman." Khushi said forwarding her hand for a shake.

"Same here ma'am." Aman said.

"No..no...Khushi is fine...after all you guys are colleagues,"

"Khushi, Aman works under me...I mean I am his superior. Do you have water with you?" Arnav asked Khushi to divert her.

"Yeah, it is in my bag...wait." Saying this she searched for the bottle.

At this time Arnav whispered to Aman...

"Aman, don't reveal that I am ASR or the owner of AR Designs."

"Ok, ASR...I mean Sir."

"Here is your water Arnav." Khuhsi gave the bottle to arnav

"You know Amanji, Arnav was telling me that your boss is making him work hard. Do you also feel like that.? Khushi asked Aman. Arnav who was drinking the water choked hearing the question.

"No..Ma'a...I mean Khushiji no...it's just normal work...it's good. I should leave you both now. Bye A...Arnav Sir and Khushiji" saying this Aman ran from there.

"He is weird...Is he like this?" Khushi asked Arnav.

"No...yes..I mean no...Khushi we should continue our pani puri challenge."

"Ohh yeah..ok let's start them.

They re-started their challenge.
The competition started and finally Khushi was the winner
"I won"
"OK...congrats, but next time I will win...that's sure"

"We will see that Arnav."
"I'm full.... I look like a pregnant lady with this big tummy..." Khushi sulked

"No you are not"
"But I feel like one"
"Trust me... You look fine...come let's take a walk ..."

They started walking
"Hey Arnav, do u mind If I ask u something?"
"Hmm...no...I think so..."

"No...leave that."
"No what you want to know?"
"Hmm...tell me only if you are comfortable...I have never see your mother...where is she?"
Arnav was silent for a few seconds
"I was 3 yrs. old when she passed away in an accident"
"I'm sorry Arnav...I shouldn't have...."
"It's OK.... I was small, I only have few memories of her...like she making me sleep...feeding food...."
"Do u miss her?"
"I miss her but I miss her a lot when I see my papa alone. I don't know how to explain it...."
"Don't be"

To change the topic she asked,
"Hey.... Do you know cooking?"
"Yeah....I do cook...."

"I mean not just making coffee...u know the real cooking...roti...aloo puri and all..."
"I exactly meant cooking roti and aloo puri and all"
"Wow... U know only a few boys would know all these things... I must say that the girl you are going to marry will be a lucky one." Khushi said getting all excited
Arnav looked at her and smiled...
"Khushi y did you choose this field? Your parents have secure jobs, so they expect you to be in some 9 to 5 kind of office job. Were they against you when you told them that you want to move into this industry, into business?"
"It's a long story."

"I think I have the time to hear your long story."

Khushi laughed at his reply and continued.

"Ok. I started cooking stuffs when I was 4 or 5....I used to ask my mom and nani to teach me cooking and I used to do what they told me. Later I started reading cook books, watching cookery shows. I was passionate about cooking. It is like creating an art. When I was in my teenage, my parents understood that cooking is something which I like. So when I told them that I want to do hotel management they stood with my decision."

"But the real problem came when I told them about my dream to start my restaurant. I mean nobody in my family have ventured into business. So there is nobody to guide me. They were afraid...it took me a lot of time to make them understand. Finally, one by one they all agreed. Papa and Amma gave me their portion of land to pledge for my loan...that's how Khushi's 'Salt & Pepper' came into existence." She finished her talk with a big smile.

"You are so courageous... Girls won't venture into business like this....and you being from a non-business background is a big thing too" Arnav said feeling immense respect towards her.
"More than me...my parents had the courage to risk their property and keep their trust on me.... If it was some other parents, they would have married off the girls with that money"
"So they are not going to marry u off soon...."
"You want them to marry me off?" Khushi asked amusingly.
"No...never..."

"What??? You don't want me to get married ever"

"I mean ...not now"
Khushi started laughing
"I was just joking.... Yeah...they have given me 3 yrs. for myself. After that they will start looking for a groom...."
"Whose idea is that?"

"Mine.... You know why this 3 yrs. time...?"
"So that you can concentrate on your restaurant."

"Yup...so that I can expand it and pay off the loans and all.... also there is a hidden agenda which I can't reveal now."

"OK...any hint about that hidden agenda?"
"Hmmm....if it happens... I will tell you."

"OK"

That's when Khushi saw something near to the park.

"Arnav, come with me." Saying this she dragged him to the man who was selling earrings.

"I love earrings very much." Khushi started to check out the earrings.

She was in a dilemma to select one.

"I think this will be good on you." Arnav selected a pair of earring for her.

"this is beautiful Arnav. You indeed have good selection."

Khushi wore the earrings.

"How is it arnav?"

"Beautiful. I mean its looks good on you."

"OK we will take this." Khushi said to the vendor.

She was about to pay for it, but arnav paid before her.

"Arnav, you didn't have to pay for it. Ok I will give you the money."

"If I am not your friend, give me back the money."

Khushi shook her head

"Ok, let's move from here."

They entered the park
"Do u come here often?"
"No...it is my first time..."
"Aww...mine too....same pinch...."
Saying this she pinched him lightly
"You believe in all these???"
"It is fun.... You should also do that."

"OK" Saying this he was about to pinch her...
"Nooo...you can't pinch me now...see I'm touching black color."
Arnav looked at her like she had grown horns.
"Ohh ohh Arnav...see if we same pinch someone then we have to touch black colour, so that the other person won't pinches you...."
"Then you can't pinch me ...my hands were on my jeans...so technically I was touching black then."
"No....you have to touch some other things...other than your dress or accessories."
"OK.... So I can't touch my own dress ...."
"You can't...."

"I will keep that in my mind for future reference".
They spend some quality time there and left from there.
