Part 22

At Dinner time:

Khushi and Payal are serving everyone. Anjali looked dull face of Khushi.

"Khushiji. What happened ? Why are you looking dull ?"asked Anjali.

"Nothing Di. I am fine'said Khushi faking smile.

Arnav thought that she is dull with her conversation with Shyam.

In Night:

Arnav is thinking deeply about what he heard in Khushi's room.

"Khushi's husband doesn't love her. How can a person be like that ? she is really a very nice girl. Also she is soo beautiful. By the way he sees, he takes care of their family soo much. Then how much she takes care of her husband. He must be a big loser to loose her"thought Arnav.

In Khushi's room:

She is thinking deeply about Shyam's words.

More than those she fears about her father's words. Her father called her and said the plan of Lavanya and Garima.

From then different thoughts are taunting her.

With these thoughts she drifted to sleep.

Next morning:

IN AR

Arnav entered the cabin. He called Lavanya through intercom. Lavanya who already came, entered the cabin.

"Good morning ASR"said Lavanya showing her teeth.

Arnav din't respond.

"Good morning ASR"said again Lavanya.

"I din't call you for your good morning"said Arnav rudely.

"Complete this file and it should be on my table within half an hour"said Arnav and gave her the file.

Lavanya took it and went from there.

Arnav knew she can't complete this file in half an hour. So he assigned it to her.

After nearly more than half an hour, Lavanya came there with file.

"You are late "said Arnav without looking at her.

"ASR wooo. ........."said Lavanya.

"Don't make any lame excuses. I have asked you submit it half an hour. When you can't do it, you can resign but I won't spare any negligence in work. If you would have concentrated a least bit on this file rather than on your makeup then you could have completed this. we are not paying you for your negligence."shouted ASR on the top of his voice.

Lavanya was shocked to his outburst. She has never faced anyone wrath until now. And now ASR's wrath that too infront of whole office. She felt insulted.

All looked at him shocked. It is the first time that ASR is showing his wrath on someone after returning.

"Poor soul"thought All.

Shashi din't felt bad as he knew Lavanya deserves this.

Most happy was NK who is trying hard to suppress his smile. Seeing NK suppressing his smile, Shashi understood NK did something.

"Leave from here. I don't want to see your face "roared ASR. Lavanya was leaving when Arnav said" Ms. Lavanya. Don't call me ASR. I am your boss. Call me sir"

Lavanya went from there with tears. She called her mother.

"Mom. You know. ASR scolded me infront of whole office."said Lavanya crying.

"What!"asked Garima surprisingly.

"Yes mom. He insulted me for late submission. I don't want to be here. I don't think he would fall for me"said Lavanya.

"Beta. Don't accept your failure so soon. Today is your first day. So this is common. Just have patience until ASR becomes your's"said Garima.

After a lot of consoling, Lavanya agreed.

After sometime, Arnav, Akash and Shashi are in Arnav's cabin. Aman is explaining them something when NK barged in. Lavanya is also there.

"Nannav. A big problem occurred"said NK.

"What!!!!!!!"asked Arnav.

"Our head designer got accident. She was injured."said NK.

"What! How is she now"asked shocked Arnav.

"She is fine but her leg got fractured. She can't walk for one month"said NK.

"Then how will this project ends and fashion show"said Akash nervously.

"I have talked to her. She said she can finish designs from hospital but..."stopped NK.

"Then what's the problem there"said Arnav.

" She is incharge of design section. So we have to appoint a new incharge to that section until she returns. "said NK.

"Then give an advertisement "said Akash.

"But Akash. I think we should select a person who knows about fashion designing. Also a very trustworth person. See, we have less time and it is fashion show which we are conducting after Nannav too charge"said NK.

"Do you know anyone like that who works just for temporarily"asked Arnav.

"Khushiji!!!!"said NK.

"Khushi!!!"said Arnav wondering.

"Yes nannav. She completed her degree in fashion designing"said NK.

"Sir. If you don't mind, then I can take incharge of that section too. I can manage this too"said Lavanya interfering between.. She doesn't want Khushi in the office.

"Ms.Lavanya. You can't even handle one work then how can you handle both. I don't want my company to be in losses. Also this fashion show is very important for me"said Arnav

"Then Nannav what do you say about Khushiji. "asked NK.

"I don't have any objection but will Khushi accept it. Also Nani will accept it"said Arnav.

"You don't worry about it. I have already talked with Khushiji and Nani too. They both accepted."said NK.

Arnav looked at him surprised and said" Forward planning!!! Ok."

NK , Shashi felt happy and exchanged their glances which din't go unnoticed by Lavanya to which she fumed in anger.

"So that chamkili is going to come from tomorrow. I will see how she will get close to ASR. I have to make sure that she should not to come close"thought Lavanya.

In the evening:

Arnav, Akash and NK arrived from office. All the members are sitting in the hall.

The trio took their places exhausted. Arnav eyes searched for Khushi. She came from kitchen with coffee and gave them, sat beside Payal.

"Khushi. NK would have told you already. You don't have any objection naa"said Arnav.

"No No Arnavji."said Khushi smiling.

"Chote. It's good. Khushi bitiya would be feeling bored in house. she too would have change of environment there."said Nani.

"Ha chote. Nani is saying correct"said Anjali.

"What is going on RS ? Where is Khushiji going ? "asked Shyam.

"Shyamji. Khushiji is going to chote's office."said Anjali.

"What!!!!! But why ?"asked Shyam.

"Why are you shocked ? Chote's designer section incharge got injured. So to replace her, Khushiji is going to join chote's office"said Anjali.

"But what is the need there ? I mean what do Khushiji know about fashion designing. What if she do's any mistake ?"asked Shyam.

"Nothing will happen jijaji. Khushiji completed her degree in fashion designing."said NK.

Shyam faked a smile thinking that it won't be possible to see Khushi from tomorrow.
