Part 4

It was Sunday. Khushi thought to go temple as she was free.

She informed her parents about her going to mandir.

When she reached mandir, she saw a old woman who is going to fall from steps. Khushi immediately went and hold her firmly. The old woman is going to faint so Khushi took her to a near bench and made her sit. She brought water and made her drink.

After few minutes, old woman became normal. She looked at Khushi.

Khushi smiled to her and asked" How are you feeling ji ?"

"Fine bitiya"said old woman.

" Where are your family members ?"asked Khushi looking here and there to see anyone coming for her..

"No bitiya. I came here alone"said old woman.

"You should have accompanied anyone.. What if I din't held you ??"said Khushi.

" My grandson told me to take car. But our house is nearby. So I thought to walk and came by walking. My name is Devyani. You can call me Naniji"said Nani.

"ji. Naniji. My name is Khushi"said Khushi.

They both talked for a while and Nani said" Ok bitiya. I will go now"

"But how can u Naniji ? "said Khushi.

"I will manage beta"said Nani.

Khushi thought for a while. She can't leave her alone like that.

" Call your grandson and ask him to pick up you"said Khushi.

"No no beta. If he comes to know about this, he makes a fuss. I don't want him to take tension about me"said Nani.

"Ok then if you don't mind, I will come to your house to leave you. I can't leave you like this. You said your house is nearby "said Khushi hesitating.

"Ok beta. What is there to hesitate soo much in this ?"said Nani smiling.

They both started for Nani's house. Khushi was chitchatting whole their walk. Nani felt an attraction towards her. She liked Khushi soo much.

Soon they reached in front of a big mansion. It was written "Shantivan" on the wall with stone.

"This is your house' asked Khushi looking at the magnificent building in front of her with wide eyes..

Nani nodded her head.

"Ok Naniji. I will take leave now"said Khushi.

"Where are you going ? Come inside"asked Nani.

"No. it's Ok"said Khushi but Nani insisted a lot to which Khushi went inside.

Khushi entered the house. She was astonished to see such a big house. She has seen these type of movies only in movies.. Nani smiled looking at her reaction.

Nani asked Khushi to sit in the hall and she went into mandir.

Khushi was examining the house when her heart beats began to raise dhak dhak.

"Hey devimayya. What's happening to me ? Why my heart beat is increasing as if ASR is somewhere near here "thought Khushi.

Then she heard a voice of him. She saw upstairs where Arnav is coming talking in his phone along with Akash. Nani too came there.

Akash is the first one to see Khushi.

"Khushi.!!!!!!"exclaimed Akash.

Then Arnav looked at her and he was shocked... She was looking like an angel in purple color chudidhar.

"Khushi. What are you doing here ?"asked Akash coming near to her.

"Akash u know her before"asked Nani.

"Ha Nani. She is Khushi. Bhai's PA. But what is she doing here "said Akash.

" I only brought her. She saved me in the temple from falling down"said Nani.

"What!!!!!!"said both Arnav and Akash.

Nani explained whatever happened in the temple.

"That is why Nani I will always say you to go in car. But you will never listen to me"said Arnav angrily.

"Ha Nani. Why don't you listen our words ?"said Akash too.

"Akash. I am fine. Khushi bitiya saved me. Chote you don't worry"said Nani turning to Arnav.

"Chote!!!!!!" chuckled Khushi.

Arnav felt embarrassed.

"Khushiji. Thank you for saving Nani"said Akash.

"It's ok Akash sir"said Khushi.

"Khushi. "called Arnav then pausing a bit, with a lot of hesitation said" Thank you"

Akash and Nani looked dumbfounded hearing those words from Arnav's mouth. ASR asking thanks. Unbelievable.

"It's ok sir'said Khushi.

"Khushi bitiya. This is not office to call him sir. Call him normally"said Nani

Khushi looked at Arnav who nodded his head and said' Nani is right Khushi"

"Ok Arnavji"said Khushi.

Arnavji!!!!!!!! This is something new which he is hearing that too from Khushi's mouth. For the first time, he liked his name.

"Ok Naniji. I will leave now"said Khushi.

"What!!!! Not soo early. You din't take anything"said Nani, called HP and ordered him to bring juice for Khushi.

Then they both sat down chitchatting. Akash and Arnav sat down opposite to them.

Akash is busy with his phone but still din't fail to observe his bhai who is stealing glances at Khushi regularly though acting as reading newspaper.

Nani asked Khushi about her whereabouts, parents and everything.

After sometime, HP brought Khushi juice. After that she left taking leave from Nani and others.

Akash noticed the disturbed face of his bhai when Khushi left.

Part 5

Next day:

In the canteen:

Khushi along with others sat down for her lunch. They all are chitchatting something when Akash said that Nani is looking for a girl to marry Arnav.

"Why ?"asked Khushi.

"What type of question is it Khushiji ?'asked Akash.

"I mean Lavanyaji is there naa"said Khushi.

"Why did lavanya came in between ?'asked Akash frowning..

" Arnavji loves her naa. Then he must marry her" said Khushi as a matter of fact..

"Who said you this ?'asked Akash shocked.

" I mean Lavanyaji said that she is ASR's girl friend. So I thought he will marry her'said Khushi innocently.

Akash now wanted to bang his head. Here he is trying to know whether Khushi too have feelings for Arnav or not but she is talking about Arnav and Lavanya's marriage.

"No No Khushi. You have mistaken. ASR never had any girlfriend"said Payal.

"Then why did she..............."said Khushi thinking something.

"That Lavanya is always like that only. She would always claim herself as ASR's girlfriend. But he never considers her like that."said Payal.

"Sorry Akashji. I have mistaken"said Khushi.

"It's ok Khushiji. Thank god you din't say it before bhai.'said Akash but it is already late, ASR heard everything. He came there to call Akash. In that mean he heard their discussion. He was hell angry on Lavanya.

After sometime, Arnav called all the staffs and announced that they got deal with a Mehra company. So there would be a party tomorrow.

Next day:

In the evening:

All is set ready for party. The guests all are ready. Arnav came near Akash who is wandering restlessly.

"What happened Akash ?"asked Arnav.

"Nothing bhai. I am waiting for Payal"said Akash. Arnav din't say anything and he too thought about Khushi.

"They came 'said Akash.

Arnav looked at that side and saw Khushi, Payal. His eyes glued to Khushi. She was wearing a red color saree. She was looking soo beautiful and breath taking.

"Beautiful "thought Arnav.

Khushi and Payal came near Akash. They both greeted him.

"You are looking soo beautiful Payal"said Akash. Payal blushed to his comment. When they both were busy with their talks, Khushi felt someone's gaze on her.

She turned and looked around only to see Arnav in his three piece suit as usuasl breath taking handsome.. Her eyes get locked with those chocolate brown eyes. Both are lost in each other.

Their trance is broken by Payal who called Khushi. Khushi went away from there blushing.

In the whole party, both are stealing glances at each other.

Couples are dancing on the stage. Lavanya came there with her almost short dress. She came near Arnav .

"HI ASR. How I am looking ?'asked Lavanya almost flirting.

But ASR gave his famous death glare to her. If looks would have power, lavanya would have turned into ashes.

Getting disappointed lavanya went away from there. Akash and Payal too joined the couples. Khushi alone stood there watching them.

A person came near Khushi and asked" Hey beautiful. Will you dance with me ?"

Khushi looked at him with fear. By seeing him, it is evident that he is drunken.

"No No thanks'said Khushi and was moving when that person blocked her way.

"Why ? What's the problem ?'asked the person.

Then he felt a hand on her shoulder. Khushi turned and saw Arnav standing there. Seeing him Khushi felt relief.

Arnav saw the person with a rage filled eyes and took Khushi's hands into his saying" Come let's dance"

It is a command rather than request. He took her on to the stage. Arnav's one hand is in Khushi's hands while the other one is holding her waist. Both are looking into each other and forgot this world.

But the world din't forget them. All are looking at ASR who is dancing for the first time shockingly. He will never dance in any party. Girls felt jealous for Khushi. Lavanya is fuming in anger. But the most happiest one is Akash for his bhai.
