Aman's apartment..

"Can I know where are you going ASR?" Aman asked once Arnav walked out of his bathroom and went to his dressing table brushing his hair. He was sitting quietly on the bed watching all this confused until he decided to get to know what's happening here.

"No, you gossip monger!" Arnav replied.

Aman pouted.

"I thought I would come here to get ready and escape the non-stop questions of my family and here you also don't leave me in peace!" Arnav rolled his eyes.

"I just asked one question! It will not even hurt you mouth to reply that.." Aman whined.

"One question that will lead to millions!" Arnav added.

"Mat batao phir (Don't tell me then)" Aman looked away.

"I won't.." Arnav shrugged.

"Is this suit okay for a dinner date?" Arnav asked to Aman indirectly replying to his question smirking.

Aman smiled getting the real meaning to that question, Arnav was replying to him that he was going on a dinner date. But his face soon changed, "If you're going on a dinner date with Lavanya, then it's not!"

"It's not Lavanya.." Arnav shook his head.

"Then?" Aman asked curiously. A new girl in ASR's life and he doesn't know about it.

"You need something to keep you awake all night right? So keep guessing who's it while working.. You don't need coffee now to keep you awake to do my works now!" Arnav smirked and left from there.

"Bye Aman!" he shouted while opening the door.

"Bye ASR.." Aman pouted, "I will definitely find who's this girl.."

"Wait.. Doesn't this have something to do with that letter Lavanya showed to me? Of course yes, means that girl is someone from office.. but ASR is never close to girls in AR.. only.. Khu.. Oh my God, yes Khushi!" Aman's eyes twinkled in happiness finding the answer to his question.

He jumped from his bed and rushed outside his house where Arnav was already getting in the car.

"I got the answer ASR.." he came running to Arnav's car.

Arnav looked at him through the window, "What?"

"Khushi.. It's Khushi, right?" Aman asked panting.

"Loyalty toh koi tujhe se seekhe (Anyone should learn loyalty from you)" Arnav replied impressed how Aman took it seriously and thought about the answer in seconds only. When it's about him, he's sure he can always count on Aman.

Aman smiled proudly of himself, then showed thumbs up to Arnav, "Best of luck ASR! Khushi is just the best girl for you!"

"We're not dating Aman.. It's just a dinner date!" Arnav immediately corrected Aman.

"I'm wishing in advance then!" Aman winked and went from there.

"Me and Khushi not possible!" Arnav shook his head.

****************************************************************************
Gupta house..

"Here am I Buaji.. Does it look good?" Khushi rolled her eyes annoyed as she came in front of Buaji showing the third outfit she tried. Vimla aunty who went to Mumbai to attend her niece's wedding brought few clothes for her and Payal as gift and Buaji forced Khushi and Payal to try them and show to her. Khushi was annoyed because she wants to get ready to the dinner date with Arnav and Buaji isn't giving her time to.

"So beautiful.. Vimla has really good choices.." Buaji said smiling and took one salwar suit laid on the bed, then her eyes widened seeing the price tag on the dress, "Such a miser this Vimla is.. Couldn't she buy expensive suits for you both? Others say right about her, she's very scared to spend money.. If I had gone to Mumbai, then I wouldn't buy such cheap suits for my nieces!"

Payal and Khushi giggled. Khushi gasped horrified when her phone rang and it was from Arnav.

"I'm not even ready.." she cried picking up his call, and biting her nails, "Hello?"

"I'm waiting outside.." Arnav said.

"Okay.." she nodded. Buaji bit her tongue sheepishly as she knew she was the one who convinced Khushi to try the clothes saying to her that Arnav will not come anytime soon.

Khushi hurriedly took her sandals and rushed towards the door, earning a "Be careful" shout from Payal and Buaji.
"Haan.. Bye Buaji.. Bye Jiji.." Khushi shouted while shutting the door.
Payal and Buaji smiled to each other suspiciously when Khushi left running.

****************************************************************************

Khushi ran towards Arnav's car wearing her sandals on the way.

She got inside the car panting, Arnav looked at her weirdly then his eyes traveled to her salwar suit.

Khushi looked at him smiling sheepishly thinking, "What Laad governor must be thinking of me.. My hair is left open and I didn't even comb it.. This Vimla aunty salwar kameez not at all matching for a dinner date.. then me coming towards his car wearing my sandals.."

Khushi pouted disappointed and upset with herself. She had already thought what she would wear for this dinner date, a beautiful white and pink chudidar that she only wore once till now and kept it safely on her wardrobe for special occasions only, she wanted to style her hair in a waterfall braid and wanted to apply make up on herself, not too much like Lavanya ma'am or other models, but a simple and basic make up that would be made her feel comfortable. But nothing of that happened, Buaji just took her time in making her try to clothes, that she end up leaving with one of Vimla's gifted salwar kameez itself!

Arnav rolled his eyes and pulled the seat belt and buckled it up, "How many times will I have to remind you of seat belt?"

Khushi pouted again and Arnav drive heading towards the restaurant.

While driving, he noticed she was combing her hair with her hands and was starting to tie her hair in her simple and usual braid. He shoved her hand from her hair frowning, "What are you doing?"

"I didn't comb my hair so I'm tying my hair in a braid!" Khushi said embarrassed.

"No, it's doesn't even get noticed that you didn't comb.. Keep it this way!" he said looking ahead the road now.

Obeying his words, she left her hair open and looked away watching the environment of Delhi.

"Why weren't you ready? I can never expect punctuality from you right?" he said in sarcastic tone.

"It wasn't my fault.." Khushi explained him why she wasn't ready in time.

Arnav shook his head muttering, "These things only happen with a Sanki like you!!"

They reached in a beautiful, luxurious and big restaurant. Arnav got down the car and opened the car's door for Khushi, Khushi also got down awed by the place. She was looking around mesmerized.

Arnav handed his car keys to the guards asking him to park the car.

"Let's go.." Arnav said heading towards the entrance. Khushi didn't move, she was getting uncomfortable here, she wasn't well dressed today and people here were dressed in a glamorous and stylish way, they were clearly rich like Arnav. But she wasn't! Suddenly the excitement of having dinner with Arnav died right there, an awkwardness and uncomfortable feeling took over her. She didn't belong there and didn't even knew how to behave like high class people.

"Khushi what happened? Come.." Arnav called her.

"I can't.." she nodded sideways.

Arnav walked back to her, "Why?"

"Just look at the way you all are dressed and me with this salwar kameez.. I will put you to shame! I'm not comfortable here.." Khushi said looking at others ladies, who were glancing at her weirdly and mocking her dressing style. Some where wondering what the great ASR was doing with this middle class girl who dressed like a joker in a five star restaurant like this.

"Do you think I give a damn about others?" Arnav groaned hearing her stupid explanation.

"But Sir you don't understand my situation that's why you're speaking like this.. They are making fun of me.. and every one is staring weirdly at me.. I won't be comfortable in such a place where people are constantly staring at me and mocking me.. I also don't belong to people of your class and I don't want to change myself also.." Khushi blabbered non-stop with moist eyes.

Arnav lifted her in his arms taking her inside. Khushi gasped widening her eyes, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

"I won't.. What will you do?" Arnav asked in challenging tone.

Manager came to them and pointed to the table Arnav had booked for them.

"I hope you enjoy your dinner date Sir.. If you need anything, then call us right away.." the manager smiled sweetly trying to butter ASR. Because celebrity like ASR coming to his restaurant, will keep up his restaurant famous and give tough competition to others rivals restaurants.

Arnav just nod his head not interested in hearing what manager was blabbering all sweetly to him. He just took Khushi still on his arms to the table booked for them.

"Put me down Sir.." Khushi glared at him.

Arnav made her sit on the chair smirking and then took his chair opposite of hers.

Khushi slammed the table silently but angry, "Why did you lift me like this? Everyone was staring at us.. What will they think now?"

"That we're dating!" Arnav shrugged smirking.

"But it's not true.." Khushi mouth formed a big "O" shape.

"They are experts in cooking up stories.." Arnav said.

"Just like in our neighborhood, if they saw you in my house at 1 am in morning, then whole day they would be cooking up stories about us.." Khushi said.

"The only difference between high class people and middle class people in this case, is that gossips here easily get in the hands of media and that's what make celebrity famous or defamed!" Arnav said.

"We're not that different.." Khushi smiled realizing that Arnav's words made sense. She over reacted on this matter.

"What would you like to have?" Arnav asked passing the menu to her.

Khushi started pointing to the dishes naming it out and making cute faces letting him know how yummy they're.

Arnav smiled a little but didn't show that to her, he kept his stern look intact, "Should I order it now?"

Khushi nodded her head. Arnav ordered the indian dishes chose by Khushi and he would eat same as her tonight.

They waited for a while, Khushi was looking around the interior of the restaurant was also beautiful, elegant and breath taking as it is from outside. Arnav was just staring at her, lost in the chirpy, bubbly and happy go lucky girl in front of him.

Rabba vee.. Rabba vee..

Some minutes later, their order came and the waiter placed the dishes on the table.

Khushi licked her lips smiling, she clapped her hands excitedly, "Yummy!!!!"

The waiter and Arnav looked at her amused who got so much happy by seeing food in front of her.

Arnav looked up the waiter and cleared his throat angrily for staring at Khushi, "You can go now!"

The waiter startled gulped and nodded noticing the dangerous glance of Arnav to him. He quickly escaped from there praying for his job to be safe.

Arnav took his fork and knife and looked up to Khushi who was confused on how to eat with fork and knife.

She looked at him with cute baby expressions showing her hands to him, "Can't we eat with hands?"

He dropped the knife and fork, shaking his head at her, "Alright!"

Khushi smiled happily and started eating her food more comfortable now. Arnav also enjoyed this rare experience for him, it's not everyday he has dinner with a girl like Khushi who make him do the unimaginable things! Lifting her all the way inside the restaurant, eating Indian dishes, trying to make her feel comfortable amidst the people of his class, admiring her cute expressions and at last eating using his hands!

While for others this was a shocking sight to watch. ASR with a girl like Khushi! Eating with hands for her! Their jaws dropped. Girls were envy of Khushi and wishing to be in her place.
