Part 78 Surprise...

Arnav and Khushi have forgotten themselves and stood in one another's arms. They jerked, hearing a knock on the door. They got apart and Arnav opened the door. Aman smiled teasingly, seeing Khushi in his cabin. Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Ok... I will come later..." He said teasingly and was about to turn to leave,

"Wait..." Khushi stopped him.

"I'm going...You carry on..."

"No, Khushi, it's seems you are in important work..." He said with a fake blush.

Before Arnav said anything,

"Shut up and come in..." Khushi ordered.

"As you said Madam Boss..." He said bending his head.

Khushi tapped on his head and left the cabin pouting. Aman chuckled at her. He waited until she leaves the place and got inside the cabin.

"ASR...our designs have been selected for the fashion show which is going to happen in Australia next week." He said with extreme excitement.

Arnav was confused hearing that because AR didn't send the design to the fashion show organizer.

"But... we didn't send the designs..." he asked with confusion.

"Khushi sent..." Aman said smilingly.

"Khushi? What designs she sent?" he asked without clarity.

"It's all your designs... she found it in your cupboard and sent..." Aman smiled seeing his facial reaction.

"When did it happen?" He asked perplexed.

"The first day you came to the office, after your marriage..."

"Oh...but she didn't say anything to me...?" Arnav asked frowning.

"Not only to this fashion show, ASR. She had been sent your designs to almost all the country's fashion show organizers. And... back to back happenings of RM might have been made her forget about it. That's why she should not have told you."

"Don't know how she gets such ideas..." Arnav wondered with pride.

"But you always wanted to do it, right?"

"Yup... but I didn't think that my OLD designs are enough to get such an opportunity."

"Yeah... it's because you never get satisfied with your work. And you don't even consider that your designs are world-class..."

Arnav smiled and became excited.

"Does Khushi know about it?" Arnav asked excitedly.

"No... just now I got the mail."

"Ok... Don't tell her anything about the show... send the mail to my id and delete it."

"Done...(he passed for a while) by the way, what were you guys doing a few minutes ago?" He grinned.

Arnav knew that he intentionally teasing him.

"Learn some manners damn it... is it manners to know what's happening between husband and wife?" Arnav asked with fake anger.

"Not at all... but I don't mind to be mannerless..." he said shamelessly.

"I don't mind breaking your head..." He took the paperweight from the table and gestured like, throwing on Aman.

Aman rushed out of the cabin laughingly.

Arnav read the content of the mail sent by Aman and smiled. This is surely taking AR to the next level. AR is going to be shined in the world level market for sure. He thought for a while that what has to be done. And then he called Khushi.

"Yes, Arnavji..." she attended the call while creating a database file.

"We are going to a party in the evening. Wind your work up at sharp 5 o'clock..."

"What party?" Taking her fingers from the keyboard, she leaned on the seat.

"It is suspense..." he disconnected the call.

"What the...." She pressed her teeth, hearing the call cutting sound.

What party does he want to attend all of a sudden? She shrugged it off and concentrated on her work.

Arnav called Aman to his cabin. Aman came to his cabin, taking a few seconds.

"Yes, ASR..."

"There are a lot of works; you have to be done..." he said in an ordering manner.

"What work?" Aman asked frowning.

Arnav extended a paper to Aman.

"What paper is this?" he questioned him while taking the paper from Arnav's hand.

"Read it out and do the arrangements."

Aman's eyes widened and he smiled.

"Take, Akash and NK's help if needed..."

"Ok done..."

Aman left Arnav's cabin briskly.

Evening

Arnav knocked on Khushi's cubicle wall to get her attention. At the same time, Khushi switched the computer off.

"Yeah, coming, coming..." She stood, taking her bag.

"Come..." Arnav held her hand and walked to the parking lot.

They left AR.

On the way to RM

"What party Arnavji?" she asked curiously.

"You will get to know that soon," Arnav said looking at the road.

Khushi pouted at him and sat straight. Arnav drove the car smilingly.

When they entered RM, Khushi saw everyone is ready to go somewhere.

"La, are you going somewhere?" She asked.

"Yeah... we are going to the party," La replied.

"What party?"

"NK's friend's party..." She said flauntingly.

"Who is that friend...?" Khushi wondered because she knew all of NK's friends.

Before La said anything,

"Lavanya... let's go... we are getting late..." Manorama came, adjusting her goggle.

"Hi, Khusi... we are going to a party... we will meet later... " She dragged Lavanya with her.

"Doesn't NK come to his friend's party?" Khushi shouted from behind.

"He will join us at the party directly..." Lavanya said while walking with Manorama.

Khushi stood getting amazed. NK didn't even say anything about the party when she met him in the morning... She went to her room and selected a black designer saree and kept it on the bed. Arnav came from the washroom and looked at the saree.

"Wow... good selection. You will look great in this saree." He said seriously.

"Thank you..."

Taking the saree, she went to the washroom. Arnav also wore a black suit, which matches Khuhsi's saree. Khushi came out within a few minutes. No need to say, Arnav got stunned seeing, stunning Khushi. Taking a few long steps, he reached her unconsciously. Khushi flinched back seeing him coming towards her fast. She got to know the reason when Arnav circled her waist and leaned towards her lips. Khushi stopped him by closing his mouth with her palm. Taking her palm from his mouth,

"You look beautiful...." He whispered in her ear.

"Oh really?"

Arnav kissed her cheek and said,

"Yeah... if you have any doubt, you will get proof in the party..." He dashed his forehead with hers.

"Proof in the party? How?" she asked, keeping her hands on his shoulders.

"Everyone's eyes will be on only you...mark my words..." he challenged.

"Let me get ready..."

"Hey..."

"Mmmm...?"

"Use "kiss-proof" lipstick... It will be useful for me...you look so hot in black...I may lose my sense anytime.." he said dizzily.

"Are we going to the party or somewhere?" Khushi pinched his cheek.

"Of course, we are going to the party... I may get the mood in the car also..."

Hitting his shoulder playfully, she went in front of the mirror to get ready.

They left RM and Khushi got confused, seeing him driving through AR.

"Arnavji... you said we are going to the party... but you are going to AR...?" She looked at him bewildered.

"Yeah...I have to sign a deal before the party," he replied casually.

"Oh..." she sat straight not getting doubt.

AR

Khushi got stuck as all the Raizadas were present in the AR surrounded by the AR staff. She saw a big size chocolate cake has been kept at the centre of the hall which is arranged by Aman.

"What is all this Arnavji?" She asked clutching his coat cuff.

Clutching her hand, he pulled her towards the cake and extended the knife.

"Arnavji, I can't understand anything... What's happening here?"

Arnav looked at Aman and he switched on the projector. The email displayed on the screen, that was sent by the Australian fashion show organizer.

Khushi looked at Arnav unbelievably with wide-opened eyes.

"Have we got that?" She asked excitedly.

"Because of you, AR has been gotten the opportunity... So, you are deserved to be honoured..." he gestured to her to cut the cake smilingly.

Without taking the knife from his hand, she cut the cake, clutching his hand. Of course, she fed the first piece of cake to Arnav. Arnav gave her a cover. Raising her eyebrows, Khushi looked at him and then the cover. What surprise is left here?

"Open it and see..." he gestured to her to open the cover.

Khushi opened it and saw her passport in it.

"We are flying to Australia..." Arnav smiled at her.

Khushi bit her lip and looked at people who were cheering her up with a big round of applause. She drenched in the flattering of the people. The party got completed smoothly.

Arnav and Khushi returned to RM.

"How did you get the idea to send the design Khushi?" Arnav asked her, sitting next to her.

"I had seen the designs and I liked it. At the same time, Aman told me about the World level fashion show organizers. I hopped your designs will get selected." She said proudly.

"I designed them in my college days... I have almost forgotten them..."

"but, Arnavji... is it necessary for me to come to Australia?"

"Yes... Stephan wants us to visit Auckland. He wants to give as a treat... we can't say NO to him..."

Khushi nodded yes and Arnav smiled at her as she is going to get a great surprise in Auckland...
