Its 3am right now and here I am ready with the completely edited draft of OPR. Phewww. Enjoy my readers.

After adjusting the pleats of her saree one last time Khushi Kumari Gupta shuffled around the lobby of the Hyatt Regency. This evening is supposed to be the beginning of AR Designs participation in Lakme Fashion Week 2019 and as the PA of Arnav Singh Raizada Khushi had handled her pre event duties skillfully. The beauty with brains who is a pro at any given task felt jittery as tonight was not just about her first professional event in the realms of fashion industry. Rather it is so much more monumental in regards to her personal life.

Her Boss, the enigmatic Arnav Singh Raizada who also shares mind with a dark possessive being called OPR was expecting answers. From her. Or to be precise only one answer. A yes. An acceptance on her part. The dominant Over Possessive Raizada demanded a positive reciprocation of his intense feelings towards her. The woman sighed as she recalled it all. Checking her watch once again the lady played with the corners of her elegant and shimmering green saree.

She was aware of both the sides of Arnav Singh Raizada. ASR and OPR. The former was easy to deal with, just a superegoist cruel fella no biggie. However the latter scared her the most. Currently he has completely taken over her Boss and claims to be head over heals for her. And being over possessive, obsessive and animalistic (in a very touchy feel-y and erotic) way towards her, is a second nature for him. Gulping away her nerves the woman came to a final decision. She has feelings for the said man there is no denial about it. And not to forget she admires his caring nature. So tonight she will clarify certain things and come up with a compromise. With terms and conditions of her choice. And this time the OPR will have to meet her midway.

Nodding to herself Khushi Gupta marched with confidence to attend the most phenomenal event of her life.

###

Completely in his OPR form the man Arnav Singh Raizada kept pacing back and forth at the door of the hall. While everyone was busy ushering the guests and greeting the other business associates the alterego of Mr. Raizada desperately looked for any signs of his prey. From the past 16 hours the man had done nothing but wait in desperation. And with every passing second his patience was running out. Naturally neither his co-workers nor his rivals approached him, the body language of the creature screamed hostility. So everyone kept their distance.

Only Aman remained at the periphery to ensure that nothing went wrong. The violent end of their previous board meeting was still fresh in his mind. And the right hand man of ASR only prayed for Ms Gupta to appear as quickly as possible as she is the only woman who can calm the dangerous CEO of ARD.

The jiggling of anklets seemed like a sound from heaven for everyone present at the event tonight. While Aman, the staff of AR and the other guests thanked the lord for sending the angel of light for the dark ASR, the latter himself smirked staring at his beauty. Clad in a green saree Khushi Kumari Gupta strutted to the side of the stage making many men turn their lust filled head in her direction.

The beast gave out a low growl feeling livid watching his woman being eyed as if she were a piece of meat. Only he had the right to appraise the object of his affection. Not anyone else. The warning had immediate effect as all the gazes dropped in fear while a the obsessed OPR rushed to her side wrapping his arm around her middle. An open claim on his part. He wanted everyone to know that this beautiful woman was spoken for. An audible gasp made the creature lock eyes with Khushi Kumari Gupta.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? This is an official event you cannot put your hand on me like that. This will be a wrong message for everyone!!

Well to be precise I AM STAKING MY CLAIM. And yes I am aware that this is an official event Khushi. Moreover, this is the right kind of message to be sent.

Dragging his PA away from the crowd the posessive creature found his way backstage to one of the empty greenrooms which he had rented specifically for having an undisturbed conversation with his beloved.

Let me GO. The show is about to start. How can you bring me here like that...

Shhhhh.

The dark passenger within Arnav lost control of himself and shushed his woman by placing his finger on her rosy lips. They quivered in response reflexively. He smirked at the sight which in return made the said woman loose her cool. She quickly pushed his finger away and gave him the death stare which OPR enjoyed even more. He always craves to see her aggravated self. Not wanting to miss it even for a second the mans eager eyes awaited for her anger to appear.

Dont YOU DARE give me that SMIRK Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. I have not slept properly because of your ultimatum last night. And now when I am trying to work so hard and distract myself you are still hell bent on cornering me.

Dont YOU DARE give me that SMIRK Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. I have not slept properly because of your ultimatum last night. And now when I am trying to work so hard and distract myself you are still hell bent on cornering me.

Khushi blurted out her issues being all riled up by none other than the twin mind of ASR. She had had enough. It was time to set things straight. So naturally the woman tried to take control of the situation, however the OPR did not react as per the expectations of the exhausted woman. Rather than teasing her even further the man did the unexpected, surprising her yet again.

WHAT THE...then why did you not say it earlier? Damn it Khushi.

Within seconds a chair was wheeled out of nowhere and she was pushed down onto it. And a minute later a chilled bottle of water was being placed at her lips. Relaxing from her rigid posture Khushi calmed herself and sipped the water relieving her dry throat. The tiredness of the day was taking a toll on her now. She had pushed herself beyond her limits coordinating the event as it kept her mind busy from the thoughts of OPR. Soon she chugged the entire bottle and rested her head at the back of the chair. Enjoying the little relief that she found.

I am not EVIL Khushi. Thats ASR. I never want to hurt you. Maybe I am being selfish but I cannot help it. You are the reason for my existence Kitten. I OPR...evolved within the complexed mind of Arnav Singh Raizada because of you.

Khushi Kumari Gupta sat still hearing yet another intense confession of OPRji. He keeps mentioning that she is responsible for his birth. And the woman who had only created suits, jalebis and pooris till now could do nothing but stare back into the dark pools of the wicked Raizada. How can I create a possessive personality like OPR?!?! She mused.

Feeling a rough yet soft touch of familiar lips at her forehead the woman gulped as realization dawned upon her. Her heart loves to hammer, thunder and flutter around this dark side of ASR. Staying away is no longer a possibility. But his intensity is still new for her. So her mind came up with the perfect deal. A straight forward Q n A.

###

The obsessed Raizada felt guilty of provoking his innocent Alpha female. In his eagerness to get Khushis approval he had totally crossed the line. So admitting defeat the man kissed her forehead in a silent apology and turned away to leave the greenroom when a soft whisper made him halt.

Wait. Dont leave.

He turned around to face her but she kept her eyes on the carpetted floor. Even though it was really difficult for him still he patiently waited for Khushi to gather her thoughts. Finally half a minute later which probably felt like half a year to the monster, his personal assistant verbalized something that made him smile as big as the sun.

Aisa nahi hai ki hum aapke liye kuch mehsoos nai karte. Bas humein aadat nahi hai aapki intensity ki. Aaphi kehte hain ki aap OPR hain...par agar humne aapko 'haan' kehdiya aur kisi din aap waapas ASR ban gaye to...phir kya hoga?
(Its not that I dont feel a thing for you. Its just that I am not habitual of your intensity. You say that you are OPR...but what if after my 'yes' the ASR reappears..what will happen then?)

Her few sentences made the dark passenger within Arnav light up with happiness. So she wanted to accept him. His alpha female was ready to stand by him. As expected only his worst enemy aka ASR stood like a thorn between them. He simply had to assure his mate that ASR is now simply a puppet and he as in the OPR is the mastermind of Arnav Singh Raizada. So revived with determination the man approached his beloved. Kneeling down in front of her the creature clutched her hands in his own.

Intensity to tumhare control mein hogi Khushi. Jitne paas rahogi utna main calm rahunga. And tell me something have you not noticed that ASR has been absent for awhile now?
(My intensity will be in your control Khushi. The more you are closer to me the more calm I will be).

Haan bahut mahino se.
(Yeah its been months).

Kyunki OPR ke aate hi woh doom daba ke bhaag gaya. Woh bhagoda to darrta hai mujhse, coz its me who keeps him on a tight leash. He only makes his appearance during business meetings. Thats it. I simply use him for my benefits.
(Because OPR makes him runaway with his tails between his legs. That coward is scared fo me).

As soon as she heard the insults which OPR threw at ASR the woman started giggling uncontrollably. With her head resting back and eyes closed she portrayed the image of an angel while the animaI watched her take away all the darkness around them. Raizada could not help but kiss the back of her hands in response. She immediately stopped laughing and stared back at the intennse charcoal orbs of her CEO.

Sach mein nai aayenge ASR?
(Really ASR wont reappear?)

Tumhare saamne to kabhi bhi nai sweetheart. Main bhoola nai hoon usne tumhe kitna hurt kia hai. We share minds Khushi and I will never forgive him for hurting you emotionally as well as physically. I cannot even harm him as we share the same body but I do love to thrash him mentally. It happens frequently though.
(Never in front of you sweetheart. My memories of him hurting you are still fresh).

Her eyes fell on their entwined hands making a blush stain her cherub like face. As if her heart accepted what she did not confess till now. Her every action drove the nosferatu wild. He so wanted to hug her to himself but trying to give her space the man continued to hold her hands.

Ladies and gentlemen we will now begin with the first round of our indo western designs of the evening so please be seated and....

The announcement echoed from behind them thereby killing the special moment of theirs. Sighing in disapproval the OPR simply stood up with Khushi, now only holding one of her palms in his own and muttered his disappointment.

I hate to say this sweetie but we cannot miss the show. We need to...

Its fine. Lets attend the event. Its my first time watching a fashion show afterall.

###

Khushi Gupta felt relieved after having a word with her Boss. She was watching the show from the front row VIP seats with a rigid OPR sitting besides her but her mind was still in the greenroom. Her fears were rational but the man himself had assured her that neither his intensity nor his ASR side will bother her. Her one 'yes' can definitely make her happy. She knew it now. But she felt extremely shy in bringing that topic yet again. She knew that the obsessive creature will not bring it up again by himself as it exhausted her previously.

So she tried to enjoy her first foray into the cut throat competition of the fashion world. The woman proudly applauded when her own company was represented by the different models. She appreciated all the hardwork done by her staff. And almost missed the smile of approval on his possessive lover' face. Gradually the evening ended with a dinner invitation that was to be held in the adjacent hall.

With a hand on her upper back Arnav Raizada escorted her to the dining hall. His touch made her body tingle. So preparing a plate for herself and Mr. Raizada she headed to the corner table away from the mingling crowd knowing how the man hated to socialize. Seated comfortably the two started relishing their meal together. For a while only the clinking of forks and knives were heard. But Khushi wanted to initiate their left over conversation. She could feel his sharp gaze over her form every now and then, which probably helped her gather her wits.

Umm...about our talk, what exactly being 'yours' entails?

The sound of Arnav Raizada' chuckle made blood pool around her cheeks. She knew that he knew her mind was still reflecting on their greenroom conversation.

Sorry I dont understand your question? Can you elaborate sweetheart?

This possessive being knew her like the back of his hand and still he had the audacity to tease her with his not so innocent questions? Do you really want to be a part of this woman? Thought the sharp minded PA of Mr. Raizada. Connecting eyes with him she retorted.

Aapke khane mein cheene mila denge hum...agar agli baar aapne bhole banne ka naatak kia to.
(I will mix sugar in your meal...if next time you will act all innocent in from of me)

With a stupid grin plastered over his face the man dragged his chair closer to hers. Khushi Kumari Gupta felt a wave of shiver passing through her body. The proximity of her Boss laced with his obsessive behavior was not a good combination for her heart health. Looking around to see if anyone noticed them the woman turned a little in her seat to face him.

Sorry sweetheart cant help it. Tumhara jaadu hi aisa hai ki main bebas hojata hoon.
(Your magic is so intense that I become powerless against you).

Uhhh...

Khushi could do nothing but give a dazzed look to the intimidating OPR. She tried to think of her previous question but she could not recall a thing. As if she were a blank slate with no records. A hand clutching hers in a firm grip made her gasp in awareness.

Khushi being Mine entails a lot of things. Jaise meri duniya tumse shuru hoti waise ab tumhari duniya bhi mujhse shuru hogi...if you say yes that is. Aur hum ekdusre se kuch nai chupayenge. Trust is the foundation of every relationship. Aur main...main wahan rehna chahta hoon Khushi. Sirf main.
(Like my world begins and ends with you the same will be applied to you....if you say yes ofcourse. And we wont hide a thing from each other. And I...I want to live over there Khushi. Only me).

Khushi' eyes touched her hairline as her mind comprehended the words of the dark being in front of her. She gazed in the direction of his index finger only to analyze that he was pointing to her heart, which ofcourse skyrocketed gradually.

Till now Khushi had considered herself to be Mr. Raizadas unhealthy obsession, but tonight his actions and words proved otherwise. He wants her heart. Her love. Finally...finally the woman grasped the complexity of Arnav Singh Raizadas mind. While her long time confusion evaporated in thin air. A complicated yet unique kind of love was waiting for her with its arms wide open. And now Khushi Gupta felt like crossing the threshold.

Unfortunately before she could give the patient man a glimpse of her thoughts on the matter Aman interrupted their romance. Sadly, the night was coming to an end and as per the customary unsaid rule of fashion industry a formal dance with your plus one was about to take place.

One announcement later Khushi Gupta found herself swaying in the strong arms of Arnav Singh Raizada. The two waltzed around the hall along with several other couples. Being new to the dance form Khushi could do nothing but imitate the moves of her Boss. Whose touch built a fire within her. She stared at the chocolate orbs of the man who claimed to feel so much for her. And the girl could not help but utter something that made both of them halt their movement.

Haan. Humara jawaab haan hain Arnav Sir.
(Yes. My answer is yes Arnav Sir).

###

The dark passenger within Arnav Singh Raizada who was incarnated on the photoshoot night after watching the sight of Khushi Kumari Gupta wrapped in red, finally sighed in relief. His restlessness came to a halt. Exactly 5 weeks 4 days and 12 hours ago the beastly Raizada had found his other half. His luna. And tonight the very same woman accepted him as his. All of it felt like a beautiful dream.

The over possessive creature gazed at his exquisite mate who took the monumental decision of standing along his side for forever. Yes Khushi herself agreed to become his alpha female. Wide hazel eyes met his own confident ones with such a level of determination that OPR smirked in response. Tightening his hold over her petite form the alterego of ASR pulled the elegant lady away from the dancing crowd. He kept twirling and swaying her till they reached behind a wide pillar.

He slapped his hands on the pillar above her head but she did not flinch. Neither  Khushi showed any signs of feeling uncomfortable. Backed up against the pillar with him caving her, Khushi Gupta made an unexpected move by placing her palms on the lapels of his suit. And this made the dark being verbalize something.

Aaj aisa lagrha hai jaise kisi ne mujhe marne se bacha liya ho.
(It seems like today I have been saved from the death).

One of the palms on his chest slapped across his mouth a little too loudly making the man in question raise his brow. Captivated by the touch of his object of affection OPR eagerly waited to know what triggered the harshness within his favourite pair of eyes.

Dobara aisa kaha to hum...
(If you will say this again then...).

Desire pooled in his charcoal orbs watching the fierce PA of his. The threatful words combined with her angry looks made his lady turn more beautiful if possible.He held her by her wrist making her loosen the digits that were fixated on his stubble.

Warna kya hoga mera sweetheart? Kya karogi mere sath? Ab to darr lagrha hain in aankhon se.
(Orelsewhat will you do to me sweetheart? Will you do something with me? I Am getting scared by these sinful eyes now).

K..kya...Kya matlab? Hum to bas...aap aise kaise har baat mein?!? Ughhhh.  Agar aapne phirse marne ki baat ki to humari Haan cancel!!
(W..what..what do you mean? I was simply...how do you always twist things?!? Ughhh. Dare you talk about again I will cancel my Yes if you do so!!!)

As soon as the words slipped from the sinful mouth of his woman, the over possessive beast roared in defiance. After waiting for a lifetime the man had in his clutches what he really wanted. A yes from his soulmate. And now she herself was threatening to take it back?!? Eventually he let go of Khushi' delicate wrist and snaked his arm around her waist pulling her against him so that she was aware of the colossal error that she had made. Bringing his mouth near her ear OPR whispered something that made the woman tremble in response.

'Haan' cancel wali baat dobara nai karna sweetheart. Warna main kuch aisa kar baithunga jo tum soch bhi nai sakti. Understood?
(Dont you dare talk about cancelling your Yes sweetheart. Orelse I will do something in my haste which you wont like. Understood?)

He felt the tremor that ran along her body as the two were still standing in the desirous embrace of one another. But he did not miss the slight nod of her head against his collarbone. Smirking the OPR painstaking slowly uncoiled her from himself.

Hum to bas aapko marne ki baat krne se rok rhe the. Hum...aapko chodne ki baat nai krhe the.
(I was simply saying that to stop those death talks. I...dont wish to leave you).

Hmmm. Fine no death talks Kitten.

Phir se Kitten?!?
(Again Kitten?!?)

With a chuckle the dangerous creature held the hand of his lady and walked back in the crowd, towards his manager cum friend Aman Rathod. He knew that Aman was very aware of his feelings towards Khushi Kumari Gupta so he felt the need to share his happiness with him. As his right hand man turned diagonally to face him OPR simply raised Khushi and his entwined hands gesticulating that with a smile and raised brow that the two were official from now on.

While Khushi and Aman both blinked their eyes furiously getting the meaning behind the gesture. Many guests present in the vicinity also saw the bold yet confident claim of Arnav Singh Raizada over the beauty clad in green, but none had the courage to have such a personal conversation with him.

The event ended soon enough giving Arnav what he wanted. Alone time with his girl Khushi. Making sure the she sat comfortably on the passenger seat of his car OPR himself sat behind the wheel and drove away taking a longer route to Laxmi Nagar.
