AR..

Arnav was walking with Aman and Anjali towards the room where they keep all the outfits.

He caressed his back that was paining due to sleep on the floor.

While they entered in the room, Anjali and Aman looked at him weirdly.

"ASR are you ok?" Aman asked.

"Yeah! What happened with me?" Arnav frowned.

"You look tired Chote and why are you time to time caressing your back?" Anjali raised her eyebrows.

"Nothing! So choose what's the outfit you want for the models in this photo shoot.." Arnav said waiting for them.

Anjali went on to choose, and Arnav called Aman to come to him.

Arnav: Aman buy two pillows!

Aman chuckled: Kyaaa? (What?)

Arnav glared at him. And Aman pressed his lips to suppress the smile on his face.

Aman: It will be done ASR!

"Khushi's belly is a better pillow than the pillow itself! Why should I buy it? But then I will spoil her sleep too.." Arnav thought.

Arnav: Aman wait! Just buy one..

Aman nodded and went from there.

************************************

Shyam's shop:

Khushi and Arjun were on the shop to buy few toys for the kids, as all they toys got burn on the accident.

Shyam: I feel very sorry for what happened with you guys! You were doing such a great job by living and caring for those kids whose parents are no more, or even abandoned them.

Khushi nodded: But don't worry Shyam ji. Everything will be fine now, that Arnav is with us!

Arjun glanced at her: What do you mean by Arnav is with us?

Khushi: He is the one who is helping us to renovate our NGO. Without him, we would be still struggling to get a help. But with him, everything is being done quickly-quickly! I will never forget what he did for me.. I will always be grateful to him for being with me, when I needed the most.

Shyam smiled while staring at Khushi talking proudly of Arnav.

Shyam: I really thought Arnav wouldn't find someone who will love him truly. But I'm happy to know he did!

Khushi: What do you mean Shyam ji?

Shyam: I mean that Arnav is one of the biggest business men in his field and for such people it's difficult to find true love, most of the girls are really behind the status or his money. But you're not Khushi, it's clearly written in your eyes.

Khushi blushed with the compliment.

"Talking about Arnav, I should buy one pillow for him! He is doing so much for me, and I'm making him suffer.. This is not done!" Khushi thought.

Khushi: Arjun you carry on with the kids toys. I will be back in a while.

Arjun nodded and Khushi went to buy a pillow for him.

*************************************

AR..

Akash entered in Arnav's cabin, and found him as usual with his files and laptop.

"Bhaii.." Akash called him, to get his attention.

"Hmm.." Arnav glanced at him.

"Bhai can I leave early from office today?" Akash bit his lips.

"Akash.. hmm..yeah off course you can.." Arnav said stunned with Akash, as it is the first time Akash pleading him to leave early.

"Thanks bhai!" Akash smiled.

"Anything special?" Arnav asked, his smart mind already informed him it must be related to Payal.

"Yes. I'm going to take Payal to dinner in our room!" Akash said excitedly.

"Akash it's not good to be a stingy with girls, you know.. Take her to a five star restaurant.." Arnav looked at him weirdly.

"It's not like that Bhai! I would take her to a restaurant, but she doesn't like such places. It doesn't make her happy, but I used to see a smile on her face when we both secretly had dinner on our room together.. I know she loves that.. " Akash chuckled.

"Really? So you both will go through an adventure today by secretly having dinner in your room alone.." Arnav raised his eyebrows.

Akash nodded: It might sound funny, but yeah.. I will do it for her!

"Ok! You can go Akash.." Arnav said.

Akash went outside of his cabin, and Arnav kept thinking about Khushi. If Payal likes this. Then what does Khushi like? He is sure that like Payal. Khushi also wouldn't like to dinner in a five star restaurant.

Karan walked in with a smirk on his face, he took his seat.

"What are you thinking lover boy?" Karan asked.

"I'm not lover boy!" Arnav rolled his eyes.

"I know! By the way how was the experience?" Karan asked smiling.

"Horrible.. My back is paining and I'm very sleepy.." Arnav leaned on his chair.

"Really?" Karan made a pity face for Arnav.

Arnav nodded: You don't believe I escaped standing in a queue to use the bathroom!

Karan laughed out loudly, "Oh God.. It must be horrible for you, as you're not used to this lifestyle.."

Arnav: Aren't you getting late for the photo shoot? Di already took out the outfits for the models and you should be there..

Karan bit his tongue, "Yeah.. but I will be back to know more.." he went running from Arnav's cabin.

Arnav shook his head in disbelief. Yes it was horrible for him to live in a way he is not used to, but at the same time it felt good to be there because Khushi was with him. He can say that living without her in his mansion, is way more difficult than staying with her in a place he is not comfortable.

****************************************

At 11pm Arnav reached in the NGO, there was silence around the living room. The kids must be sleeping, he thought.

Her anklets sound made way to his ear, and he glanced at her coming towards him.

"Where were you? It's so late.." she asked him putting her hands on her hips.

"I had a meeting late.." he explained.

Khushi shook her head with an angry sigh, she said: Go and keep you things on the terrace. I will warm the food for you..

She moved to the kitchen, and he went to the terrace, now his room!

He was about to keep the pillow on the floor when he saw there was already one pillow there.

"What the.. She also bought one pillow for me.. Now how will I share it with her?" Arnav thought.

His eyes landed down the terrace, he quickly threw his pillow off the terrace and it fell to the road.

"Someone has to take that pillow from there.." he prayed, then walked to take his tracks pants and his tee on his bag.

He quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs to have dinner.

Khushi: It would look odd if only we both sit on the floor to have dinner. Let's have it on the terrace itself..

Arnav nodded: Ok! But what do you mean by we? Didn't you had dinner?

Khushi smiled: Can Jerry have dinner without Tom?

Arnav frowned: You should have eat! Why did you wait for me? Did I told you to? I didn't right..

Khushi: Look I'm not in mood to fight with you. So Mr.Raizada now you should keep your ASR uniform in your office and come here like Arnav only.

Arnav: What the.. ASR uniform!

Khushi shook her head smiling, and he followed her to the terrace.

Khushi glanced at the pillow she bought for him when they reached, "Did you see your new pillow?"

"Hmm.. I saw it.." he said and sat on the floor with her.

"I bought today for you. I went to Shyam's shop to buy toys for the kids too.." Khushi smiled.

"It seems you didn't liked to be my pillow.." he smirked digging the roti on his rajma dal.

Khushi's cheeks changed it's color, but she managed to compose herself and teased him back.

"Should I throw this pillow then if you don't need? Then don't complain.." she said.

Arnav widened his eyes, and choke on his food. He started coughing baldy.

Khushi worriedly placed the glass of water near his lips, and made him drink.

"What happened? Are you okay?" she asked.

Arnav nodded: Ye..Yeah.. I'm fine.. You don't need to throw that pillow..

Khushi continued to eat her food, and after both finished, she left downstairs with the plates.

Arnav arranged the bed sheet on the floor and waited for her to come.

**************************************

Raizada mansion..

"Akash are you mad?" Payal giggled, after their secret dinner in their room, they were secretly going out of the room like thieves.

"Isn't this fun for you anymore?" he asked and turned to her with a sad tone.

"It is! How can I forget these special moments in my life?" she replied.

"So.. I'm on the right track to get your forgiveness?" his face lit up in happiness.

Payal nodded and glanced at Mama going downstairs. She quickly pushed Akash with herself to a pillar.

Akash heard Mama's voice and sighed: We escaped! That was close..

They looked at each other, and after few seconds laughed silently.

Anjali also secretly came inside the mansion with Shyam.

Payal looked at them going upstairs, in direction of her room.

Payal: Akash look there. Di is with Shyam this late at night..

Akash nodded confused: But we now know about them! What is there to hide from us?

Payal: Don't you find her strange?

Akash: Yes, since we got to know about her relationship with Shyam, she has been isolated from everyone. Even at office she looks disturb or upset.. I don't know..

Payal looked at him, " Akash I think we should.. Don't think wrong but.."

Akash placed his finger on her lips, "I know what you want to say Payal. It's ok! We are just going to check if everything is alright with her or not.."

Payal smiled a little and he held her hand, both tip toed to Anjali's room.

And stood behind the door.

Anjali sat with Shyam on the bed, and she looked frustrated staring at him.

Akash and Payal wondered why such an expression when she is meeting with the love of her life.

Anjali: Shyam what is this? Why did you call me when I asked you not to? Ten missed calls! Are you mad?

Shyam sighed and cupped her face: I was worried for you Anjali. You weren't responding to my messages. So I had to call you once, when you didn't replied even after that.. I got worried..

Anjali rolled her eyes: I was busy you know! I work in AR..if you don't know. If Chote sees me glued to my phone, he would scold me! But no! You don't understand.. Stop behaving like my husband okay..

Akash and Payal sighed in relief.

Akash: They are just fighting over petty issues..

Payal nodded, and both walked to go but Shyam's loud reply made them looked at each other shocked to the core.

"I'm your HUSBAND Anjali.." Shyam yelled.

Payal held Akash's shoulder, "Did you hear what he said??"

"This is not possible.. God.. Di married him!.. What if bhai gets to know about this?" Akash touched his forehead with his palms worried.

"Haan you're my husband Shyam. But no one knows about this! So please try to behave yourself.." Anjali said angry.

Payal gulped when she heard Anjali accepting it.

Payal: I'm scared Akash! What will be everyone reaction on this? Especially Arnav ji?

Akash: I'm more worried for Bhai only Payal. Others may accept this, but Bhai will break down.. He loves Di so much. She means the life for him, after his parents died! He worked day and night for her, and she hide her life biggest truth from him..

Payal pushed him a little when Anjali glanced at the door.

"Keep calm! We should go away from here first before she see us and create a scene for eavesdropping her conversation.." Payal said.

***************************************

Arnav pointed the pillow to Khushi.

Khushi looked at him confused, "What's the problem now?"

"Like we share a cold drink on cinema hall that day. We will share the pillow today.." he said and placed his head on half part of pillow resting the other half for her.

Khushi chuckled: It's not needed. I will manage to sleep without it..

"Kyun? Do you have lice on your hair?" Arnav smirked, he knows she isn't going to give in so easily.

Khushi glared at him, and rested her head on the half of the pillow.

Arnav smiled satisfied, then stared at the sky.

"Are you happy by sharing the pillow with your enemy?" she asked.

"Are Tom and Jerry really enemies?" he asked her.

"I don't know.. It depends on the perspective of each one.. Or they are the biggest enemies who can't see each other happiness or they are the true friends who always irritate each other and behave like enemies, but at the end they are always with each other.. at the end one is incomplete without the other.. Which one we are?" she glanced at him.

"I think the second explanation suits us perfectly.." he whispered still staring into the dark sky.

"So Arnav Singh Raizada, the youngest yet the biggest business men in Fashion world you're accepting a deal of friendship with Khushi Kumari Gupta, a simple, sweet and stubborn girl?" she asked giggling.

Arnav nodded sideways.

Khushi pouted: Kyun? I complimented you so much, still you didn't accept.. You're really Laad governor..

Arnav chuckled, "My friendship is reserved to.."

"It's okay! You another best friend which you cannot give her place to me right?" Khushi said with moist eyes.

Arnav nodded: You're quite smart Khushi!

Khushi faked a smile: That I am! Now let's sleep.. It's quite late..

She closed her eyes ready to sleep, she was hurt, her heart was aching by thinking that he had another special girl on his life which he couldn't give her this space, now she thanked her movies for already preparing her for such situations. Before he could say that he had a childhood best friend, she cut him off because she knew how much it would hurt her to hear him saying that.

"Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada.. That's my only friend name.." he whispered near her ear.

She slowly opened her eyes, she could feel his breath, and that gave her goose bumps.

Arnav leaned back on his pillow, and glanced at her.

"What did you thought?" he smirked.

"I thought you had another friend.." Khushi pouted.

"No! I only have three childhood friends, that's Karan, Meera and Nisha.." Arnav said.

"Liar.. Then I'm not your only friend.." Khushi bit her lips sadly.

"You're my first and the only Jerry friend.." he smirked.

Khushi squealed in happiness, "Aww you're also my only Tom friend.."

**************************************

Akash dropped Payal home, he left her on her room safe and sound.

Although she insisted him to leave her on the gate only, he neglected saying that her parents would think bad of him, and especially now he can't let anything spoil their relationship.

Payal stare at him going, she called him: Akash..

Akash turned back to her: Need something?

Payal: It's quite late no? You should sleep here..

Akash smiled: No, it's ok! I will go..

Payal: No, please stay. I'm not having a good feeling..

Akash's father came to them, who were on the door of her room.

"Beta hear your wife! Stay here. It's not safe to drive alone at these hours.." her father patted Akash's shoulders.

Akash nodded: Okay then.. I will stay..

***************************************

"We will go back after two days ok?!" she looked at him sleeping uncomfortably, he was really trying to sound comfortable with the place, but she knows yesterday he wasn't counting stars but killing mosquitoes. And seeing him accepting her lifestyle only to stay with her, means a lot to her.. What was this feeling growing inside her heart for him?

Arnav still with his closed his eyes, brushed his nose on her forehead.

"You don't need to do that for me.. Give me a chance to see who is Khushi.." he mumbled.

Khushi closed her eyes feeling his touch on her, she didn't say anything after that.
