Khushi started taking the smaller boxes to Lavanya's new cabin.

Lavanya, Sim and Pam were just staring at her with evil smirk on their faces.

Khushi ignored their looks and walked out of the cabin going to take bigger ones.

She bumped with Arnav on the way, her shoulder clashed with his making her hiss, "Ouch!" she rubbed her shoulder taking a step back and looked at him frowning.

"Do use your eyes to avoid situations like this!" Arnav said sarcastically and went from there resuming his talk on phone.

Khushi stuck out her tongue at his disappearing figure, then looked back at the boxes waiting for her, she pouted: I wish I was my Salman ji, then I wouldn't have to worry about carrying theses boxes..

Lavanya, Sim and Pam were peeking to see how Khushi will complete her task now, they were giggling staring at Khushi's expression.

Arnav noticed the three musketeers high five to each other, giggling and constantly staring at the corridor side while he was walking to go downstairs. He also followed their gaze and widened his eyes seeing Khushi carrying that big box with her hands, "What the.."

"I will call you later.." he said and hang up the phone, and rushed to Khushi.

Khushi although managed to hold the big and heavy box with her hands, she stumbled back time to time trying to balance herself first and then her hands were trying hardly not to give up holding that box, the sweat beads forming on her forehead increased, she felt weakness but couldn't let herself fall with this box now when suddenly she didn't felt the heavy thing on her hand, it seemed like magic was happening here, "Aye DM.. what kind of magic is this? I'm not feeling this box heavy now.. still I'm holding it!"

She smiled happily but soon her smile faded when she heard voice coming from behind the huge box blocking her view ahead, "What the.."

She peeked sideways and saw him holding the box from otherside, "What are you doing? Leave it.. I can complete this task alone!"

"You leave it.. Have you gone nuts?" Arnav scolded her.

"It's my work and I will make sure I will complete it.. I won't give you any chance to defeat me.." Khushi glared at him.

"Khushi just leave the box.. It's too heavy and you will not be able to carry it.." Arnav gritted his teeth.

"Why are you showing your fake care towards me? You only asked Lavanya ma'am to give me this job, you granted leave to peon so that I handle all this alone.." Khushi said angrily.

"What the.. I never did that.." Arnav frowned.

"Oh you lie also! I didn't knew that.." Khushi said sarcastically and stomped her foot on his foot so that he leaves the box.

"Dammit.." Arnav shut his eyes feeling a sharp pain on his foot.

"Chodiye (Leave it)" Khushi whined.

"I won't.. stop being stubborn Khushi otherwise consequences won't be good!" Arnav warned.

"What will you do?" Khushi challenged him.

Arnav reached her hand under the box and started tickling her hand to make her give up from holding the box.

Khushi giggled feeling ticklish, but didn't give up from holding the box in her hands with his huge help because it was Arnav bearing the heaviness of the box.

She kicked his leg, making Arnav groan, "You mad woman!!"

He tickled her more and she kicked his legs and stomped his feet every now and then. The result...

*THUD*

The box fell from their hands and they also lost their balance and were about to fall on the cold and hard floor. Arnav pulled Khushi to his arms before she could hit the floor, his back hit the floor and Khushi fell on top of him. He wrapped his arms around her securely.

"Ahhhhhhh.." Khushi screamed in pain with her mouth open and eyes shut tightly.

"You're over reacting Khushi.." Arnav whispered.

Khushi opened her eyes and glared at him, "Am I over reacting? You really wanted that building to fall on me right, today you accomplished your mission.. congratulations Sir.. Today I fell on a person who is not less than a building itself (Arnav)"

"You said right, you fell on the building and not the other way around!" Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Haan haan.. same to same!" Khushi pouted realizing what she said made no sense.

Arnav smirked staring at her hazel eyes and she too got lost in his chocolate brown eyes.

Rabba vee.. Rabba vee...

"ASR are you okay?" Lavanya came running to them making Arshi's eyes lock break.

Khushi immediately stood up adjusting her duppata embarrassed, her eyes then landed on Lavanya's box on the floor.

Lavanya wanted to help Arnav stand up, but he showed his palm to her stopping her and got up himself, patting his back to remove the dirt.

"You okay?" she caressed Arnav's shoulder with worried look.

Arnav narrowed his eyes at her, "Did I ask you to give this work to Miss Gupta?"

"ASR I.." Lavanya stammered looking here and there.

Khushi looked at them confused, she was wondering why Arnav was asking this to Lavanya when Lavanya herself said to her that Arnav was the one who assigned this work to her.

"Haan ya nah Lavanya? (Yes or no?)" Arnav gritted his teeth.

"Did you suffer from memory loss or what just by falling on the floor Sir?" Khushi mocked.

Lavanya thought Arnav would be distracted with Khushi's comment, but his gaze was fixed on her. 

She gulped looking down, "No!"

Khushi looked shocked at Lavanya realizing she fell on Lavanya's trap and believed that Arnav sent her to do this work despite knowing that she wasn't completely well after the building accident.

"Miss Gupta.." Arnav looked at her and Khushi nodded her head, "Ji?"

"From now on you will be working in AR as my PA and not Lavanya's assistant.. Is that clear?" Arnav asked sternly.

Khushi looked at Lavanya who seemed clearly upset after hearing Arnav's decision, then at Arnav who was staring at her as if she was the one "Lavanya" of this story, this man is damn complicated!

"Miss Gupta am I clear?" Arnav asked in a bit loud tone than his usual irked with her statue position and thinking mode.

"Ye.. Yes Sir.." Khushi stammered coming out of her thoughts.

"And since you granted leave to peon today Lavanya.. you and your friends are going to shift these boxes to your new cabin and clean the place also.. I want this take to be completed by (Arnav looked at his wrist watch) 11 am.." Arnav said.

Khushi looked at her watch and widened her eyes seeing it's 9 am now, it means Lavanya, Sim and Pam only have two hours to clean that huge cabin, shift everything from the old cabin to new one and then organize each thing on its place!

Lavanya looked at Arnav with disbelief, "ASR that's not my job!"

"That's not Khushi's job also, you get that?" Arnav pointed his index finger to her losing his cool with Lavanya.

Lavanya sighed and walked towards the box, she glared at Sim and Pam looking at each other.

"Will you both keep staring at each other or help me also?" Lavanya shouted.

Both ran to help her with sheepish smile. 

"Miss Gupta follow me!" Arnav said in stern tone and started walking ahead.

Khushi ran behind him pouting, "Follow me.. puppy hoon kya (Am I his puppy or what?)"

Arnav's phone rang again and he was got engrossed in his conversation while going out of AR.
Khushi followed him till he reached to his car. She stopped confused when he opened the door for her and went to his driver seat still talking on his phone like a robot.

Arnav peeked through the window and gestured her to get in the car.

Khushi shrugged with confused look. Arnav glared at her in response and gestured her to get in without creating ruckus now.

Khushi pouted and got in the car.

Arnav hang up the call, "Seat belt.." he ordered.

"Kahan hai? (Where it is?)" Khushi asked looking around the car searching for it.

Arnav face palmed and moved near her pulling the seat belt, Khushi's breath hitched seeing him this closer to her, her heart beat increased making loud dhak dhak sounds that she feared he might hear it.

Arnav on the other side felt something different to be close to Khushi, he wondered what's there to be feel different when he had been close to other women before? He works with women and did more than just helping with the seat belt like hugs, seen them in less clothes than Khushi, then why this strange feeling only with her? Why is his heart beating Dhak-Dhak when he's near her?

Rabba vee.. Rabba vee...

Arnav's phone rang disturbing their moment. Arnav startled buckled the seat belt for her and composed himself picking up the phone.

"Yeah Di.." Arnav said. After hearing what his Di said, he frowned, "What the.."

Khushi slapped his lips, "Di ko what the nahin kehte hain (Don't say What the to Di)"

Arnav glared at her, "I'm coming.."

"You're already here Sir.." Khushi replied not realizing that he was talking to Anjali now.

Arnav hang up the call and threw his phone in frustration somewhere in the car.

Khushi clutched her duppata startled with his anger. She decided to keep silent only till they reach the destination.

****************************************************************************
Shantivan..

Arnav and Khushi reached in his mansion, as they appeared in the living room. Khushi was surprised to see all family except Akash who was at office this time waiting for them with worried expressions.

"Khushi.." Anjali smiled surprised to see Khushi with Arnav, she rushed to Khushi and held her hand, "How are you? Are you feeling better now?"

"I'm fine now Anjali ji.." Khushi smiled feeling overwhelmed with Anjali's care towards her.

"Khushi.." Shyam walked towards her and patted her head lovingly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Bhaiya.." Khushi smiled nodding her head.

Arnav felt overwhelmed watching his Di and Jija ji showing care to Khushi.

But then his attention got diverted to Nani, when she handled a magazine to his hand angrily, "What is this Chote?"

Arnav looked down at the magazine on his hand and rolled his eyes, "You seriously called me for this Nani?"

"Hello hi bye bye.. Arnav bitwa you are datingwa with Lavanya and didn't find it necessary to informwa us?" Mami's eyes grew wide.

"Mami she's.." Arnav tried to explain only to interrupted by Nani.

"The whole world knows that my grandson has a girlfriend except me.." Nani said hurt, "And on top of that, without meeting with any of us let alone inform us about this, your girlfriend starts sending bouquets here for you! Isn't she ashamed to do all this?"

"What the.." Arnav said irked.

Khushi slapped his lips again, "Nani ko what the nahin kehte hain!"

Anjali's mouth open slightly as she covered with her palms with shocked smile that Khushi dared to slap her Chote's lips and scolded him for saying What the to Nani.

"Hello hi bye bye.. How darewa you middle class girl to misbehave with my Arnav bitwa?" Mami fumed in anger with her eyes spitting fire at Khushi.

Khushi looked down sadly.

"Agar tumhare Chote ko control mein rakhna hai to sahi ladki mil gayi tujhe Rani Sahiba (If you want to keep Arnav under control then you found the right girl Rani Sahiba)" Shyam whispered to Anjali who nodded her head still in shock.

"Thanks Khushi bitiya.. he truly deserves it!" Nani said frowning at Arnav.
Arnav glared at Khushi who hid behind Anjali, then he looked back at Nani: I deserve what?

"Should I tell you or show you like Khushi bitiya did?" Nani glared at him.

"What.." Arnav stopped himself from completing the sentence when not one but two hands raised to slap his lips again, one from Khushi and another from Nani.

"I will fire you from AR.." Arnav warned Khushi.

"You dare to fire her and I will fire your girlfriend also!" Nani said defending Khushi.

Khushi stuck out her tongue to Arnav smiling.

"Chote you will not fire Khushi.. What has she done? We are talking about yours relationship with Lavanya.. Why are you punishing Khushi?" Anjali asked.

"You can't even fire her because here you don't share a boss and employee relationship with Khushi.." Shyam added in serious tone.

"Hello hi bye bye.. fire this girl only Arnav bitwa then she will understand she's messing with fire (Arnav) himself.." Mami said throwing disgusted looks to Khushi.

Khushi felt bad again on hearing Mami's cunning words.

"QUIET EVERYONE.." Arnav barked making everyone flinch, "Not a word I want to hear now!"

He threw the magazine on the floor and went upstairs to his room angrily.

"Chote come back here.. I deserve an explanation.." Nani shouted in disbelief watching him leave to his room.

"Laad governor kahike.." Khushi pouted watching him leave.

"Chote is angry now.." Anjali said and Shyam chuckled mockingly, "Kab nahin hai gussa mere Sale sahab? (When is he not angry?)"

"Hello hi bye bye.. Arnav bitwa got angry because of this girl..  I must teach her a lessonwa!" Mami thought.

"Nani ji you already know your grandson's nature.. He gets angry easily na, so let him calm himself down and when he comes downstairs then I'm sure he will explain everything to you.." she glanced at the magazine and the bouquet, "Sometimes what we see and hear from others is not what it is in reality.." Khushi consoled Nani, remembering how today she misunderstood Arnav because she fell on Lavanya's trap.

Nani nodded feeling better while hearing Khushi's consolation words, she smiled lightly to Khushi: It's good that you came here bitiya..

"I swear I would have been more happy to know that you're Chote's girlfriend than that Lavanya.." Nani pouted.

Khushi looked at Nani shocked, she imagined herself as Arnav's girlfriend then shook her head scolding herself for even thinking of such a nightmare, "Main aur Laadgovenor.. Laadgovenor aur main.. hmph.. impossible!"

"Khushi come with me.." Anjali called Khushi to the kitchen.
