Chapter 19 - Krrish!
At XYZ restaurant..
Payal was staring at Akash eating his food silently, she was thinking about Arnav's words when an idea came in her mind.
"I want to say something!" she cleared her throat to gain his attention.
"Do you want to go to the washroom?" Akash asked.
"No.." Payal nodded sideways with crying face. When will this man understand things?
"What happened Payal? Isn't the food good?" he asked worriedly.
"No.."
"What? No! I thought you would like it.. It's my favorite restaurant you know.." he sighed sadly.
"Oyee.. meri baat sun to lo pehle! (Oyee.. listen to me first)" Payal frowned.
Akash's eyes widened, "Do you get possessed by some ghost Payal? Sometimes you talk sweet and shy with me, and sometimes you show me your anger like Kaya from Krrish 3!"
"Akash please.. See how you take things slow.. You're talking about Krrish 3 when makers are already working on Krrish 4!" Payal cried in frustration.
"But it's not released yet.." Akash shrugged.
"Exactly.. It didn't release yet and when it gets released then it might be too late for you to watch the movie with me!" she said.
"Why? I will do one thing.. yes.. I will book tickets in advance then.." Akash's face lit up in happiness.
Payal face palmed, she held his hand tightly, Akash shyly looked around: Payal what are you doing?
"Listen to me Akash.. I'm serious.. My parents fixed my marriage with another man.. That's why I'm saying to you that it might be late for you to watch Krrish 4 or any other movie with me because who knows I might be married with another man that time.. so booking tickets in advance is not the solution to our problem!" she said in serious tone.
"What? Payal.. you.. how can they.. I.. they fixed.. your marriage.. but.. when did this happen? Why.. did you tell me anything?" Akash asked confused, upset, shocked and dumbfounded, trying to digest this horrible news.
"What? Why? When? Stop questioning me as if I'm some criminal and you're a cop! It's obvious my parents will be looking for a groom for me after my marriage with Abhishek got cancelled.. Now it's you who have to do something!" Payal said.
"What will I do?" Akash cried.
"You watched Krrish 3 right? (Akash nodded) .. Then you saw how Kaya changed her form and took Priya (Krrish's wife) place at home.. then you do some miracle and take the man's place that my parents choose to be my husband.." Payal said.
"But later Kaya helped Krrish to reunite with Priya.. that means that I would also have to help you reunite with that man! Payal what a bakwaas plan!" Akash glared at her.
"Okay fine.. then try to be Krrish (Superhero)" Payal glared back at him losing her patience.
"Main thodi na superhero hoon! (I'm not a superhero)" Akash cried.
"But Krrish only said that each one of us can be Krrish (superhero)" Payal glared at him.
"But.. Payal life is different from superhero movies.." he tried to explain.
"Okay fine.. then let me marry another man and you become that Frogman and steal children's ice cream with your tongue!" Payal said and left from the restaurant.
"Frogman!" Akash frowned.

Laxmi Nagar..
Khushi laughed out loudly hearing Payal sharing her frustration with Akash and they Krrish conversation.
"Akash sir bhi na!" Khushi wiped the tears in her eyes still laughing.
"Khushi you're laughing at me!" Payal looked at her in disbelief.
"And by the way you didn't tell me anything about you and Arnav ji.. Did you start hiding things from your elder sister too now?" Payal asked.
"Everything happened too fast.. That I didn't even got time to share my feelings with you Jiji.. I'm really sorry" Khushi said, "But Arnav ji didn't confess his feelings for me till now also.."
"What? And you both are getting engaged already.. Wow.. Arnav ji is the real Krrish!" Payal smiled.
"I don't even know if this is love or not Jiji.. I just know that I feel good with him!" Khushi said playing with her fingers.
"Khushi.. you sure na about this? I don't want you to get your heart broken!" Payal pulled Khushi into a tight hug.
Khushi rested her head on Payal's chest hugging Payal more tightly and cuddling to her, Payal stroke her hair lovingly.
"Jiji I trust Arnav ji a lot.. I know he won't break my heart.." Khushi said, "And if he didn't say I love you to me, it doesn't matter Jiji.. one day when he feels like saying these three magical words to me, he will say it.."
"At least Arnav ji took one step with you, but Akash ji urgh.. No kiss, No I love you, No engagement, No marriage.." Payal rested her head on Khushi's head fake-crying.
Khushi laughed, "Frogman will kiss you Jiji very soon!"
"Shiii.. I wanted kiss from Krrish, not Frogman!" Payal said making disgusting expressions.
"Krrish is my Arnav ji!" Khushi announced smirking proudly.
"My Akash ji is Slow-motion Krrish!" Payal pouted.
"Aaja Doob Jaaun Teri Aankhon Ke Ocean Mein...Slow Motion Mein... Slow Motion Mein... Slow Motion Mein...(I want to submerge in the ocean of Your eyes)" Khushi sang loudly laughing at Payal.
"Shut up!" Payal hit on her head.
****************************************************************************
Shantivan..
Arnav's room..
Akash glanced nervously at Arnav then at NK. Arnav and NK looked at each other with confused expression then back at him, and asked at the same time: What happened?
"She will get married!" Akash said shutting his eyes tightly.
"Don't we all get married? What's there to be upset about?" NK asked.
"Oh so Payal's parents fixed her marriage with another man!" Arnav smirked getting Payal's plan, thinking: Kam se kam ek ke paas to dimaag hai (At least one of them has brains!)
"Haan Bhai.. Now what will I do?" Akash cried, and sat in between Arnav and NK on bed, he wanted to hug Arnav who quickly pointed his finger to NK, "Hug him, not me!"
NK smiled and hugged poor Akash, "Oh my brother.. Don't be upset.. Just say it that you love her and then.. Dilwale dulhania phenk jayenge! (The big hearted will throw the bride away!)"
Akash frowned and slapped NK's arm breaking the hug, "Dilwale dulhania le jayenge (The big hearted will take away the bride)"
"Same to same!" NK smiled sheepishly.
"Will you Monkeys stop talking and do something?" Arnav glared at both.
"Bhai.." Akash grinned, "Don't think Payal's parents just thought about her marriage, they might have thought for Khushi too!"
"Shut up.. No one will take Khushi away from me! No one means no one! She's mine, totally mine!" Arnav gritted his teeth.
"Kaal (Villain (antagonist) of Krrish 3)" Akash whispered frightened of his brother's tone.
"Kaal kya hoga? (What will happen tomorrow?)" NK asked.
"Kaal and Kal have different meanings NK!" Akash said.
"What the.. Are you both kidding me?" Arnav looked at them in disbelief, "Akash Payal is getting married to another man and you're busy in correcting NK's Hindi.. He's a gone case but you can still stop Payal from getting married to other man dammit!"
"How?"
"By confessing your love to her dammit.. You will have to propose her and stop wasting time here crying like a girl.." Arnav said in threatening tone.
"But what if she rejects me?" Akash asked unsure.
"Why do you think she told that her parents fixed her marriage? It's for you to do something.." Arnav rolled his eyes.
Akash nodded his head, "But her parents?"
"There's not so many problems like this in Sydney!" NK yawned.
"There isn't here too NK, it's just there's lot of problems in their brains! They create non-existing problems in their brains instead of doing what they want!" Arnav glared at Akash.
"I will confess Bhai.." Akash said.
"You better do it.." Arnav warned.
"Nannav I will sleep with you tonight!" NK smiled jumping on Arnav's bed.
"What the.. Just get lost from here you both!" Arnav shoved both away from his room and sighed laying on his bed.
****************************************************************************
Next day..
AR..
"Where is Lavanya Aman?" Arnav asked walking with him in way to the conference room.
Aman didn't reply and continued concentrated on his phone.
"Aman I'm talking with you dammit!" Arnav gritted his teeth.
Aman didn't reply still.
"What the.. What's wrong with you today?" Arnav frowned.
Aman glanced at him, then back at his phone still in same silence irking Arnav.
"Gala kharab hai kya? (Is your throat sore?)" Arnav asked.
Aman frowned.
"Aman will you tell me what's wrong with you?" Arnav asked.
"Good morning Aman!" Akash greeted and opened the door of conference room to get in.
"Good morning Akash!" Aman smiled and walked in with Akash leaving a stupefied Arnav behind.
"Arnav ji.. I'm sorry.. I'm late again.." Khushi came running to his side, she peeked to see the conference room and realized the meeting hasn't started yet, she sighed in relief.
"Aman is not talking with me!" Arnav said with confused expression.
"Main hoon na tumse baat karne ke liye (I'm here to talk with you)" she flashed a sweet smile to him.
"Tum Aman nahin ho Khushi (You're not Aman, Khushi)" Arnav face palmed.
"Then I'm playing Kabab main haddi between you both!" Khushi crossed her arms.
"What the.. What rubbish!" he frowned, then he realized why Aman is angry with him.
He smirked and walked in the conference room leaving Khushi stupefied with him.
"He just left me here like that.." she mumbled and walked in.
Inside the room, Arnav smacked Aman's arm, "You're angry with me because I didn't say anything about my relationship with Khushi to you!"
"At last you realized!" Aman rolled his eyes.
"Do I need to say it to you? You already knew it first than me itself.." Arnav said.
"But you could have said officially to me na.. I'm the last one to know about it, even Lavanya knows.. Lavanya seriously!" Aman cried.
"Okay.. Okay.. You will be the first one to know about engagement date!" Arnav smiled patting his shoulder.
"That's the least you can do!" Aman pouted, "As you don't even know how to say sorry!"
"Sorry I can only say to Khushi.." Arnav said and stare at Khushi talking with Akash and keeping the projector on table.
She walked towards them and asked, "Are you both done with your romance?"
"What.." Khushi slapped his lips not letting him complete.
Aman widened his eyes seeing Khushi's courage to slap ASR!
Arnav glared at her.
"Maine kaha na Khushi ko what the nahin kehte hain (I told to you not say what the to me)" she furrowed her brows.
"I wonder what got in my mind to make you my girlfriend!" he sighed.
"Why did you ask me then to be your girlfriend?" she pushed him with tears brimming in her eyes making Arnav stumble back.
"What the.."
Everyone gasped. Akash and Aman closed their eyes with their palms not wanting to see what Arnav will do with Khushi after this.
Arnav's business partners who came for the meeting stood at the door with shocked expression as no one have courage to even speak in high tone with ASR, then pushing him like this is out of question.
Khushi gulped looking around, everyone was staring at her as if she's an alien, she nervously started fidgeting her duppata mumbling to herself, "Khushi tu toh gayi (You're gone)". But she got startled when she felt Arnav's lips on her cheek. She gasped softly bringing her duppata to cover her mouth realizing he just kissed her.
"Pagli.." he whispered huskily on her ear. Then looked at everyone who stood with open mouth and wide eyes, he gritted his teeth and sternly said, "Let's get back to work!"
Everyone stood still trying to digest all this that happened in front of them.
"NOW!" Arnav shouted startling them who ran to their respective chairs.
He pushed the chair for Khushi and gestured her to sit. Khushi sat on her chair embarrassed and shy as everyone were staring at her.
Arnav sat on his chair as gestured Akash to start the presentation.
Khushi was busy noting down everything on her notebook.
Arnav held her hand gently during the meeting. She looked up to him with questioning eyes.
"Abhi tak naraaz ho mujhse? (Are you still angry with me?)" he whispered.
She nodded her head.
Arnav held his ear with the other hand as if asking forgiveness to her.
Khushi smiled faintly, she too held her ear and whispered sorry to him for pushing him in front of everyone.
Arnav smiled faintly to her, then only he could concentrate on his meeting.
****************************************************************************
Arnav's cabin..
After the meeting finished, Arnav and Khushi moved to his cabin where he resumed his work.
"I wonder why Lavanya didn't came today.." Arnav said, "I'm seriously going to fire her from AR.. It's not the first day she's taking a day off without informing me.."
"Maybe she's upset after knowing about our relationship.." Khushi said.
Arnav rolled his eyes, "She shouldn't mix professional and personal life.. I don't need such people in AR.."
"Arnav ji it must hurt to love someone who doesn't love you back.." Khushi said sadly.
"Hmm.. but it hurts you even more when you don't want to accept the reality.." he said.
"And that's what Lavanya ma'am is doing.." Khushi said.
Arnav nodded.
"By the way, Payal lied to Akash that your parents fixed her marriage to someone else in order to make him confess.." Arnav said, "Does she have anyone to play the other man's character in case we need him?"
"No.. she just said like that.." Khushi replied, "But I've someone who can play the other man character for her.. Bankelal ji.."
"What the.. Bankelal? Who's he?" Arnav frowned, "And how do you know him?"
"He was my.."
"Delete that MY from your sentence" Arnav ordered her with gritted teeth.
"How will I say it then Arnav ji?" Khushi frowned at him.
"I don't care.. no one is yours.. Only I'm yours and no one else.." he asked shutting his laptop with a loud thud.
Khushi giggled softly, "Arnav ji you're getting jealous.. he was friend only.."
"Bankelal?" he glanced at her.
"Haan.. Bankelal ji.." she nodded still giggling at his face red in jealousy.
"Khushi you can only call me with 'Ji'.. He's just Bankelal.." Arnav shut his eyes irked.
"Acha tik hai.. (Okay)" Khushi sighed.
"So he's going to act like the other man in Payal's life.." Arnav said.
"Yes.." Khushi grinned, she rubbed her palms excitedly, "Time for some drama!"
A knock disturbed them, Akash and Aman got in the cabin.
"Bhai.." Akash smiled happily.
"What happened?" Arnav asked, "Did you confess your feelings to Payal?"
"No.." Akash nodded sideways, "I confirmed with her parents and they said that she's not getting married to anyone.."
"What?" Arnav and Khushi looked at each other shocked.
"How did you talk with her parents? Who gave you this idea dammit?" Arnav stood up.
"This genius.. Aman!" Akash smiled brightly pointing to Aman.
Arnav glared at Aman who was smiling brightly too but once he saw Arnav's angry look, the smile on his face faded away as he knew he did something wrong! Again!
"He found out Payal's parents number through Khushi details, and then we called her father and said that the groom they choose for Payal is not good man and then he said he didn't even fix her marriage with anyone yet.." Akash said.
Arnav faked a smile, "It's.. a good news!"
"You are really genius.. I should name you Genie now.." Arnav walked towards Aman and patted Aman's shoulder, "And keep you inside that lamp forever!"
Aman looked at him with crying face, "I'm sorry ASR.. I seriously just wanted to help.."
"I'm really controlling myself Aman.. because all I want to do right now is give you a hard punch on your face!" Arnav glared at him.
Khushi shook her head, "Even Bankelal lost his chance to become an actor for sometime now!"
"Bhai I'm so happy now.." Akash said sighing in relief, "I couldn't sleep all night.."
Akash's phone rang, he quickly attend it and what he heard made him shocked.
"What happened now?" Arnav, Khushi and Aman asked at the same time.
"Ma is calling me to see a girl she talked for marriage!" Akash cried.
"Oh no.." Khushi bit her nails worriedly.
"Now what?" Aman asked.
Arnav shook his head and called Anjali, "Di.. Who's this girl? What's wrong with Mami? Without informing anyone, she's talking about Akash's marriage.. What Di?.. You know he loves Payal.. Of course I will interfere Di.. He's my brother and I'm not going to let him marry any random girl just because she's rich or whatever.. He will marry Payal only.. Pass the phone to Mami now or find a way to send this girl out of Shantivan now.. Just let it be.. I'm coming!"
He hang up the call and put his phone on his pocket, taking his suit, "Let's go!"
"Akash you go and pick Payal, then bring her to Shantivan!" Arnav said.
Akash and Aman though confused about Arnav's plan, nodded and rushed outside.
"Arnav ji.." Khushi called him.
He looked at her, "Let's go.. we don't have time Khushi.. I will finish this drama once and for all today!"
Khushi didn't reply to him, she just hugged him smiling with tears in her eyes.
"We will romance later Khushi!" he said caressing her waist.
Khushi punched his shoulder, "I just hugged you because I feel so lucky to have a man like you in my life!"
"Then I'm the luckiest to have you in my life!" he dropped a kiss on her forehead.
Precap..
"I will never let my son marry this middle classwa girl!" Mami raised her hand to slap Payal.
Akash pulled Payal backwards saving her from getting slapped while Arnav held Mami's hand stopping her from slapping Payal.
"Akash will get married to Payal ONLY!" Arnav gritted his teeth still holding Mami's hand.
The family watched the scene tensed.
