Part 21

Dinner was a silent one without many issues.

Arnav was in his room when Khushi knocked the door. He signaled her to come in.

"Di asked me to give milk to you"said Khushi and placed the tray on the table.

"Have you taken your tablets ?"asked Khushi.

Arnav nodded his head.

Khushi was going but Arnav stopped her.

"Where did you went in the evening ?"asked Arnav.

Khushi was startled by his question. Actually she went to meet her father.

"wooo.........I went to devimayya"said Khushi stammering.

"What !!!"asked Arnav confusingly.

"I mean I went to mandir"said Khushi.

Arnav din't say anything.

"How was your day ?"asked Khushi.

"Good."said Arnav.

"Arnavji. Don't stress yourself soo much"said Khushi and went from there.

Arnav smiled to her. Don't know he feels good whenever she shows his concern on him.

After two days:

In these two days, Arnav have requested Shashi Gupta to come back to AR to which he agreed. Now he is also working in AR. There is a fashion show coming soon.

Arnav want AR hike again to it's previous position. He want his name again as king of fashion world. Preparations for it going on with full swing. Arnav is taking care of each single thing. He asked Aman to appoint a PA for him.

IN AR:

Arnav entered AR and straightly went into his cabin. Aman arrived there.

"ASR. A New secretary is appointed for you"said Aman.

Arnav nodded her head.

"Her name is Lavanya. I will call her"said Aman and went out.

After sometime, Lavanya entered the cabin. She is wearing a dress hardly covering her thighs.

"Good morning ASR"said Lavanya.

Arnav looked at her and again engrossed in his work.

Lavanya felt a bit disappointed for his behaviour but she won't let it go. She came here with an intention to make ASR hers. It was her and her mother's plan to make Khushi's life hell. If ASR would fall for Lavanya then Khushi's life would be spoiled and Lavanya can become Raizada bahu.

"What the hell are you doing standing infront of me ? Go and do your work"shouted Arnav angrily.

Lavanya is startled by his anger. She had heard a lot about his anger but facing it for the first time.

When she came out she saw her father.

"You here!!!!"asked Shashi surprising.

"Why ? You were surprised to see me here. Papa when I asked to recommend a job for me with your influence in AR but you plainly refused giving a lecture that one have to believe on their hardwork. Now see I got a job as ASR's PA"said Lavanya and went from there.

Shashi sighed looking at retreating figure. He very well knew what is mother and daughter's plan. He heard over it. They are trying to spoil his Khushi's life. No he can't let this happen. He had to make Khushi aware their plan.

"Shashiji"said NK.

"Haa NK."said Shashi coming out of trance.

"What happened ? Where were you lost ?'asked NK.

"Nothing NK"said shahsi.

"Anything serious ? Is everything alright ?'asked NK

Shahsi din't say anything.

"You can share with me. I am a son like to you "said NK.

Shashi nodded his head, took NK to his cabin and explained everything about Garima and Lavanya.

"What!!!!!! NO NO. I won't let anyone come between Nannav and Khushiji"said NK.

Then turning to Shashi said" You don't worry. I will lookafter this matter"

Shashi knew NK would definitely do something. Khushi told him a lot about NK how he supported her.

NK straightly went into Arnav's cabin. Arnav is working in his lappy.

He too sat and started to work. From Arnav's cabin whole office can be viewed clearly as it is glass door ( like in the show)

"Nannav. That girl"said NK indicating Lavanya who is in her work.

Arnav looked at her and said" She is my new PA"

"What!!!!!! Why did you join her ? You din't find any other person in this world"said NK acting.

"Why ? What's wrong with her ?"asked Arnav frowning

"She is totally a spoilt brat. Do you know how she shouted and insulted Khushiji ?"said NK.

"What!!!!!! When"asked Arnav.

"Once when we went to mall, Khushiji bumped into her unknowingly. Do you know how much fuss she did ? She insulted Khushiji in front of the crowd. Khushiji cried a lot"said NK adding more about Lavanya.

Arnav fumed in anger. How dare she even to hurt Khushi ? NK sensed Arnav's anger. These days he is observing Arnav's feeling s towards Khushi.

NK came out of Arnav's cabin and thought" Now see Lavanya. ASR make your life hell. Seems like ASR is falling for his wife. It's good"

In the evening:

Arnav returned from office. He saw no one in the house. he straightly went to his room to freshup.

HP brought him coffee.

"Where are others ?"asked Arnav.

"Anjaliji went to hospital. Payalji accompanied her. Naniji and Mamiji went to a function. Khushiji is in her room"said HP.

On the other side Khushi is in her room when Shyam entered into her room.

Seeing him Khushi said "What happened Bhai ? Why did you come here ?"

"Khushiji. How many times I have to say don't call me bhai ?"said Shyam angrily.

"Why ?? What's your problem in it ?"asked Khushi.

"Because Khushiji I love you"said Shyam.

"Have you gone mad ? I am a married woman and I love my husband a lot"said Khushi angrily.

"Husband !! But Khushiji your husband forgot you. He din't even know that you are his wife. "said Shyam.

"You don't need to worry about me"said Khushi.

"What if your husband won't accept you when he comes to know that you are his wife ? What if he brings another girl in his life ? Do you know he already has many girls in his life ?"asked Shyam.

Khushi got frightened by his question. Arnavji with other woman. She can't even imagine it in her wild dream.

"Then it's the matter of me and my husband. It is nothing to do with you"said Khushi composing herself.

"Khushiji. Try to understand. Your husband never loves you"said Shyam.

"Enough. Leave from here"shouted Khushi angrily.

"Khushi!!!!!"came a voice from the door.

They both saw Arnav standing at the door. They were shocked to see him there while Arnav stood there confused.

Arnav heard some noises from Khushi's room and came to see. He din't the whole conversation he heard only Shyam saying that Khushi's husband doesn't love her. He felt sorry for Khushi.

Tears formed in Khushi's eyes. Arnav threw a deathly glare to Shyam.

"Arnav. woo I just...."stammered Shyam.

"Leave. Stay away from Khushi. If you won't, then remember that day would be the last day in this house. I won't even think about my Di."said Arnav.

Shyam left from there cursing his fate.

Arnav went near Khushi, placed his hand on her shoulder and asked"Khushi. Are you Ok ?"

Khushi immediately hugged him tightly. Arnav was surprised by her sudden reaction and stood still. He din't know how to respnd.

Khushi came to reality, came out of hug.

"Sorry"said Khushi.

"It's ok"said Arnav and wiped her tears, gave her water to driNK.

"Khushi. Are you ok ?"asked Arnav concerning.

Khushi nodded her head.

"I am going downstairs"said Khushi and went from there.

Arnav stood there confused.

"Khushi's husband doesn't love her. Did he left her ? How can he do that to poor soul. "thought Arnav.
