Part22

Aman got a call on his mobile. It's from his detective agent who was assigned to be finding out about Khushi.

Aman: Haan Rohan, what's the matter?

Rohan: Sir, I have got a very valuable point about Khushi mam.

Aman(curiously): What was that?

Rohan: Khushi Mam's Buaji is looking alliance for Khushi Mam's marriage.

Aman(frowning): Whaaaat? But what about her engagement?

Rohan: Khushi Mam got engaged to her mother's friend's son in her childhood. Seems like, her Buaji is not fine with that as Khushi Mam is waiting for him since fifteen years. Because there is no trace of his existence. So Madhumathi Mam is full swing in making her to get married.

Aman: ok fine. but try to find about the guy with whom she got engaged.

Rohan: Sure sir. But it may take time because Madhumathi Mam is not ready to talk about it. She is totally against to Khushi Mam in this matter.

Aman: I understood. Let me know if you get anything about it.

Rohan: Sure sir. He disconnected the call.

Aman was furious about what he got to know about Khushi. What all this? Is she waiting for an unknown person? How could she ignore Arnav because of an unknown man? How ridiculous? But seems like, she is not so hard with Arnav now a days. Aman could feel it from her gestures. Aman was firm now that he has to do something.

Two weeks later.

Entire AR was in confusion due to Arnav's absence. He was never like this. He comes only to attend important meetings which were unavoidable. It made a person suspicious, who wanted his attention sincerely. Sheetal kapoor. She was PA of Arnav. She was in the top list who is trying hard to get the tag of Mrs.ASR. She was hell frustrated without getting anything that why ASR was working from home? She knew how WORKHOLIC Arnav is. She couldn't get single information from Aman. Aman and Spilling Beans? No way. She tried her level best to know what the real issue was. Finally she decided to try by her own self. She got half day permission and took the file that required the signature of Arnav.

Sheetal got down from the cab in front of RM. She was shocked when she saw Khushi in RM eating channas, sitting in the living room, watching Salman movie, laughing like a mad by the effect of the comedy scene. Sheetal couldn't easily come to the conclusion. In fact she didn't even think this "old fashioned girl" could be the one who tide ASR in RM. Who can think of this, that the king of the business world would long for this simple woman?

Sheetal snapped her finger to drag her attention. Khushi, who was busy with Salman, showed her palm like "wait". Sheetal got irritated.

Sheetal: Hey, who are you?

Khushi(without taking her eyes from TV): Khushi.

Sheetal: what are you doing here?

Khushi: Can't you see? I'm watching movie.

Sheetal: Is this what you are doing here?

Khushi: Mmmm. Still her eyes rooted in tv.

Sheetal(irritatingly): Are you getting salary to watch TV?

Khushi(frowning): Salary? Which salary?

Sheetal: you are MAID here right?

"NO. She is not".

Duo turned their gaze towards the stairs where Arnav was standing with angry glare, looking at sheetal.

Arnav(getting down from the stairs): what are you doing here?

Sheetal: ohhh. ASR I came to get your signature.

She showed the file which Arnav didn't give any heed to.

Arnav: Who asked you to give it to me?

Sheetal: I myself came as I know how important it is.

Arnav: it's not important. Even if it's so then it's out of the rule to bring out of the AR without permission. Who the hell gave you the permission damn it? (he screamed)

Sheetal and Khushi both jerked. Khushi got up from the coach nervously.

Sheetal: ASR I thought...

Arnav(cutting her): I'm not here to hear what you thought. Don't you dare enter my home. EVER. Now out. (he bawled)

Sheetal felt humiliation. Arnav turned his gaze and saw Khushi who was standing there shockingly. His face softened seeing her and Sheetal notice it. Who is she? This is not a simple thing when the fire is cooled after seeing this girl. She threw an angry glare at Khushi and left the RM fuming.

Arnav knew, why sheetal was here. She wanted to check that what made him stop coming to office. He didn't react to her actions ever before, doesn't mean he was not aware of her intention. It's all usual for him, being tried from every angle. He took out his mobile and called Aman. He received in second ring.

Aman: Yah ASR...

Arnav(cutting him): I want sheetal out of my office.

Aman: what happened ASR?

Arnav: she came here to back check me.

Aman: I expected something like this. She was asking me, why you did not come to office.

Arnav: That's why I'm saying transfer her to some other AR branch.

Aman: ok leave it on me. I will take care of it.

Arnav cut the call and looked at Khushi who was gazing at him without blinking.

Arnav(raising his eye brows): why are you looking at me like this?

Khushi: Really will you make her out of your office just because she back checked you? Don't you have any mercy?

Arnav: I'm not terminating but transferring her. I will terminate only if she will not accept the transfer order.

Khushi: Is this the way you treat guests? Yelling? Don't you know "Athiti Devo Bhava"? ( Guests are equal to GOD?)

Arnav: I don't know that, but I know, whom to be treated as GODDESS and I'm already doing that. (he smirked)

Khushi: At least you should have considered that she is a woman.

Arnav: Woman or man... everyone is equal when it comes to work.

Khushi: such a LARD GOVERNOR you are.

Arnav(frowning): Lard Governor?

Khushi: jee. You should have born in British India as a Lard Governor.

Arnav(chuckled): your nick name also looks so unique like you. ( while decreasing his gap) Do you know who gives nick name?

Khushi(moving back): who?

Arnav: Nick names will be given to the one; those are "very special". He said huskily.

Khushi(mockingly): But I give nick name to the one whom I don't like.

She got hit on the pillar and Arnav stood there blocking her way which he likes to do always.

Arnav: ohh really?

Khushi: why did you shout at the girl? poor she...

Arnav(cutting her): I don't like when someone peep in to my home without my permission.

Khushi: Won't you allow anyone?

Arnav(nodding no): Except Aman, I won't allow anyone to enter in to my home. According to them it is a DEN.

Khushi(widening her eyes): As if you are a Lion.

Arnav: I'm. People named me so. But I, myself will bring, who are close to my heart.

Khushi(purposely): I think she loves you. Why not you give a try?(Arnav was looking at her plainly) She looks modern unlike me which suits to your fashion world, I'm sure she will fit to be your..

Before she said "WIFE" Arnav closed her mouth with his palm.

Arnav(gritting his teeth): Don't you dare Khushi. I don't want to hear anyone's name instead of your's.

Khushi was shocked seeing his sudden change. He was cool until few minutes ago. She shrugged his hand and started blabbering without looking at him.

Khushi: I had never seen a man who ignores such a beautiful and modern girl. Does anyone go behind "well water", when a river flowing in front of him? unbelievable.

Arnav took the jug of water and poured it in the glass. He drank it slowly relishing looking at her. He licked his lips....

Arnav: This is "MY" water. And I'm getting satisfied with this which river water can't do. Understood?

She rolled her eye and went from there talking to herself.

Khushi(to herself): I'm telling you Khushi. He is such tough nut. Don't try to change this adamant, incorrigible piece. Do your work and leave this place silently, It will be better for you.

Arnav was looking at her like "what the". But this duo didn't know that their entire conversation had been watched by someone who was standing behind the door. It's none other than Sheetal. She didn't leave the place and watched everything.

She wouldn't have believed if someone has said that Arnav Singh Raizada had fallen in love with Khushi. But she witnessed it with her own eyes. . There is no way other than believing now. How it is possible? Which she could not do it in five years? She tried in every way to get his glimpse, be it by her work or by her look. He didn't even mind to smile at her at least for once but now he is behind a woman who is not fashionable? What the hell is wrong with ASR? What he had seen in this girl which she didn't have? A King of Fashion World, whose designs are most popular in Fashion World, is longing for a laced salwar? HELL.

She could't tolerate that a simple girl owned ASR's heart over her. She sensed it in Arnav's angry face when he defended Khushi for the word "MAID". She has to do something to stop this nonsense, adding to it those romantic talks of Arnav and that smile on his face poured oil in Sheetal's angry fire. What a taste he has? Damn. She would have killed Khushi if she got a chance. She was that frustrated.

A cunning smirk flashed in her face. She decided what should be done. She left RM to do what she decided about Khushi's issue.
