Part15 Designer couple

Raizadas and Guptas fixed the marriage date, after two weeks.

Ratna: Chotte, Khushi's attires are your responsibility as we have no time.

Arnav (nodding yes): if Khushi is fine with it.

He looked at Khushi.

Khushi: I have no issue.

Ratna: You are a designer. If you have your own designs then you can give it to Chotte.

Garima: She has many designs Ratnaji.

Ratna: Really?

Garima: She is the one who designed Lavanya's lehenga.

Garima snatched Khushi's mobile and showed few designs to Ratna.

Ratna: Wow... these are so nice.

Ratna forwarded Khushi's mobile to Arnav. Arnav raised his eyebrows, seeing her designs.

Ratna: if you have unique designs then why did you say no issue?

Khushi was silent. Arnav frowned at her. Is she following her words "I won't disturb you"? What is she thinking? Isn't she interested in this marriage? What's wrong?

Arnav: Give it to me aunty. I will ask AR designers to make it.

Garima: Sure beta.

Ratna: Chotte, take her to AR and introduce her to the designer. Let her deal with it. What say Khushi?

Garima: That's a good idea. Isn't it Khushi?

Khushi nodded yes.

Arvind: Why not you take her now?

Ratna: Until then I will prepare dinner. What say Garimaji?

Garima looked at Shashi. He nodded ok.

Shashi: If your designer is free, you can take her Arnav.

Arnav removed his phone and dialed Aman.

Aman: Yes, ASR...?

Arnav: Is Sona free now?

Aman: Yes ASR. She has just submitted the file for our next project. Only your acceptance needed.

Arnav: Ask her to wait. I'm coming with Khushi. She wants to give the marriage attire designs.

Aman: She will be here until six ASR. You can come.

Arnav: Ok.

Arnav disconnected the call and looked at Khushi. She stood.

Khushi: Amma, I'm going.

Garima nodded ok.

Arnav started walking and Khushi followed him.

In the car

Arnav was squeezing his brain. He doesn't know whether he should ask her why she was not interested to design her attire. Before he asked,

Khushi: My master plan got failed.

Arnav: Why?

Khushi: Because Ratna aunty asked me to design my dress. I was planning to come to AR tomorrow to ask you the same.

Arnav looked at her getting relieved.

Arnav: But why? You could have told what you want.

Khushi: I wanted to make everyone delighted.

Arnav: How...?

Khushi: Just imagine... how would have they felt if your design and my design matched coincidently...?

Arnav frowned not getting her completely.

Khushi: I wanted to give my designs to you secretly. When my Mom sees the dress, she will get excited. She will think our taste matches; some positive wave is running between us. She will believe we will be happy in our marriage life.

She sighed. Her thoughts of making her parents happy amazed him. Would she think everything extremely? He thought she is sticking into her words. He smiled inwardly. At the same time, he felt bad. If Ratna hadn't given the idea, she would have come to AR tomorrow. Then he might have got a chance to know that really she will disturb him or not. He sighed.

AR

Sona was waiting for Khushi in a sketch room. Arnav introduces Khushi to Sona. He sat behind them, not interfering but the screen was clearly visible to him. He wanted to see her professional side. Sona got impressed by Khushi's design. Khushi gave her color choices and was adamant in her choices. She was not ready to compromise with colors. Should agree, she had very good color taste. Arnav liked it very much. Sona showed her the designs, applying the colors of her choices. Khushi finalized a few dress and stood, getting satisfied.

Sona: I will give your dress in two days.

Khushi: Thank you so much.

Khushi gave her a formal hug making Sona embarrassed. She is the would-be wife of her BOSS after all. Arnav smirked seeing Khushi moving so causally.

Sona: I'm taking your leave ma'am.

Before Khushi said anything,

Arnav: Ok. You may leave.

Sona left the room taking her bag.

Khushi frowned at her. Arnav sat in front of the system. He changed the marriage lehenga color, blood-red into cherry red. Khushi dragged the chair and sat beside him as it looked more attractive. He looked at her. She raised her eyebrows.

Arnav: Blood red looks bright if you wear blood red, it will dominate your skin color. If it is cherry red, it will help to highlight your skin color.

Khushi: Ohh...

Arnav: Are you ok with it?

Khushi: Yeah... it looks good.

Arnav turned the screen towards Khushi and captured her pic, selecting camera option. He edited her pic with the marriage lehenga. Khushi dropped her jaw excitedly, seeing herself in lehenga.

Khushi: I thought you are BUDDU.

Arnav's expression was worth watching. He nodded head left and right, pressing his lips.

Khushi: But it seems, you are not...

She laughed Arnav looked at her with his lopsided smile.

Arnav: Shall we go?

Khushi: Yeah...

She stood. Her phone started ringing. Her face expression changed seeing the name. She disconnected the call, gritting her teeth. Arnav shrunk his eyes, seeing her doing that.

After giving a few instructions to Aman, Arnav left AR with Khushi. She got a few calls in the car also. She didn't attend any. Finally, switching the mobile off, she threw it in the bag and sat straight.

It's was not hard for Arnav to guess that it was from an unwanted person. That's why she is showing this kind of irritating gesture in her face. But who is that?

Arnav: Uncle may call you. He will get panicked if your phone is switched off.

Khushi: Dad will call you if it's urgent.

Arnav: but what about your friends?

Khushi (angrily): I have no friends.

Arnav was taken back seeing her pouncing.

Arnav: Was that Rohit?

Khushi didn't answer him. So it was indeed Rohit.

Arnav: How long will you avoid answering him?

Khushi: I don't want to answer him.

Arnav: you can make him understand.

Khushi: The one; who didn't understand me by my gestures for many years. Then how could he understand my words?

Arnav: He will... because he is your friend.

Khushi: No... he is not because his heart was not pure.

Arnav: Why are you so angry with him?

Khushi: It's all, my mistake. As a friend, I expected a lot from him. That's why I don't expect anything from anyone because expectation hurts.

Arnav: you have to talk to him... after cooling yourself.

Khushi: I don't want to talk to him anymore.

Arnav: But why?

Khushi: It will be good if I keep him in distance. After knowing his intention, I can't move freely like before. And you too know about him. If I started to be friendly with him, it will create unnecessary problems in our lives. I don't want it.

Arnav was stunned. Don't know how many times she is going to make him wonder by her way of handling the problems.

Arnav wanted to admire her, halting the car at the side of the road. He gulped. He saw her blabbering in an inaudible voice. He knew she is scolding Rohit. He could understand how much she is affected by his action. She is missing him and his company. Why not? After all, she is getting married... without her friend. He may not a good friend but Khushi. Arnav felt bad for her.

He pulled the break.

Arnav: Switch on the phone.

Khushi looked at him.

Arnav: Face the problem instead of avoiding it.

Khushi turned her face towards the window.

Arnav: What will you do if he comes to your house?

Khushi: I don't want his friendship anymore. I can't be free with him Arnavji.

Arnav: Then say it to him directly, simple.

Khushi nodded yes and switched ON her mobile. She got a call immediately. It seemed, Rohit was trying, continuously. She looked at Arnav. He gestured her to speak. Khushi attended it, after turning on the speaker. Before Rohit spoke anything,

Khushi: Why are you disturbing me? Can't you understand I don't want to talk to you? Stop all your non-sense.

She about to cut the call...

Rohit: Khushi I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. I should not have hid my feelings for you. I was so confident about our relationship Khushi that no one could take my place in your heart. But I didn't know there is only place in your heart for me and it's nothing but a friend. I got frustrated when I got to know you went to someone's hand. That's why I have reacted that way. I'm sorry for whatever I did Khushi. Please convey my apologies to ASR. Please try to forgive me for the sake of our friendship. I'm sorry.

He disconnected the call. Arnav was looking at her eyes which brimmed with tears. He knew Khushi got melted by Rohit's stance. But don't know why he couldn't trust Rohit's words. He sensed something wrong. The concern which his voice delivered seemed not true. But Khushi's facial expression told him, she believed Rohit. He couldn't take Rohit easily. The way he talked with him and Khushi showed how frustrated he was. And now, the way he spoke to Khushi was utterly opposite to it. Don't know what's in his head. Arnav was restless.

Khushi got her Wedding Lehanga in two days. An AR staff delivered it in GH. She was awestruck seeing the lehenga. The beadwork of the lehenga stole her heart. Combination of the Cherry Red color looked so captivate with beadwork. She hopped in happiness. She wanted to hug Sona right away. Garima looked at her smiling.

Garima: What's the matter, my daughter is laughing after a long time?
