KHUSHI

After the busy and tiring day, I finally arrived at home, I dropped everything on the sofa and settled down to take a rest. One of the servants walked with a glass of cold water, I took it and told him to take my things to the room as I sipped the water.

"I thought you wouldn't go for any shoot today." Ananya said as she walked inside the house looking all cheery and happy.

"Why so?" I asked as I placed the empty glass on the table.

"Oh, let me think, because before I left, I saw your boyfriend coming and I thought you two would like to spend some quality time together." She giggled.

"Is someone jealous?" I teased.

"Sure, I actually am, I mean I've been with you for years now and all those guys you've dated are always just as perfect as you." She giggled.

"Oh come on, you know I dint even date them all, some just came home once or twice besides all they wanted was the famous model, not me really." I shrug.

Since I came to this industry all I've found is guys lusting for me, while all I'm dying for is a guy wanting to love me, which I guess doesn't happen anymore so I've just kind of accepted it.

"Anyway forget that, tell me how was your first shoot?" I looked at her excitedly.

"Awesome, I did what you said, I believed in myself and it worked." She said excitedly.

"That's great, now keep believing in yourself and one day you might get past me too." I smiled. I was genuinely happy for her, she deserved this after all the struggle she had been through. We sat there talking about random things as a few hours passed by.

My phone started vibrating in my hand as I looked at it, it was the same number that I had received a call from in the morning, I received the call and pressed the phone close to my ears.

"Hello."

"Miss Khushi, it's Aman again, we met at the AR office today?"

"Of course Aman, tell me."

"Actually we've made the decision and we want to work with you, I've got the contract prepared too, can you pass by the office anytime you are free and sign the contract so we can begin working?" he asked.

"Sure, I'll visit tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then, goodbye Miss. Khushi."

"Goodbye." I disconnected the call excitedly, I couldn't believe that I actually did it, I mean I was going to work for one of the hugest companies in Mumbai, it was like a dream come true even though I never dreamt about anything of such sort.

"Wow, if you hadn't mentioned the name of the person you were talking to, I would have just assumed it to be Aditya, you looked so happy and excited, what's the good news?" Ananya looked at me curiously.

"Tomorrow I'm going to sign a contract with AR Designs, can you believe it?"

"What? You mean the AR Designs, one of the hugest fashion house in the city? Oh My God! That's really some great news Khushi." Ananya said as she hugged me excitedly.

"Looks like it's both our lucky time." I smile.

"Yup, we should have an ice cream pajama party, let's cheat our diet today." I suggested.

"Great, let me take a shower, you can send someone to get our favorite ice creams meanwhile." She suggested.

"No, I'll go myself, you know I don't like anyone else getting me my ice cream" I giggled.

We both stood up as Ananya headed to her room to take a shower while I headed out, I got into the car and told the drive to take to me my favorite ice cream parlor.

It was just nearby so we arrived there in five minutes, I told the driver to wait for me there as I rushed inside the parlor excitedly, I was such a huge ice cream fan, if it was in my control I'd eat it every day but well I was a model and I had to maintain my perfect figure.

"The usual?" the lady that worked there, asked as soon as I stopped at the counter.

"Yup, the usual." I smiled at her, every time Ananya and I decided to cheat our diet I made sure to get our favorite ice creams now even the lady working here knew all the details about what kind of ice cream I liked, I just had to tell her that I wanted the usual and I'd get it just the way I liked it.

I looked around the parlor while I waited for my ice cream impatiently when my eyes fell on the guy that had just walked in, he stopped as soon as his eyes met with mine, I saw a huge smile curve up on his face as he stepped closer towards me.

"Miss Khushi, what a pleasant surprise." He smiled at me.

"Mr. Raizada, I am actually surprised to see you here." I smiled back at him, he looked completely different right now.

I remember when I met him at his office he was dressed in a three piece suit and now he was dressed all in casual, he was wearing a black short sleeved tee and a black jean with white canvas, he had some really great muscles.

When I saw him in the office today I was surprised, I mean it was such a huge company I was expecting the owner to be some old guy but here he was, all young and hot.

"So what are you doing here? I thought models don't eat ice creams." He smirked.

"If you don't know, some people say ice cream is actually good for body building." I folded my arms and smirked at him.

"Yeah, that's the reason I am here but it's not good for losing weight."

"Well I'm not losing weight, I'm just maintaining my figure and I think it doesn't do much damage, plus it's only once in a while." I explained.

"Okay Miss, as you say." He said as he raised his hand up making me smile, he was cute and different, I mean at work he was all polite and kind of serious about work but outside work he was cute, he dressed in casuals and he ate ice cream too!

"You can call me just Khushi, now that we are going to work together anyway, better get used to it." I suggested.

"Oh I see, Aman already gave you a call? He never wastes any time, perfect at his job." He smiled.

"Yup, just a while back." I smiled back as the lady walked back with three tins, one had my special flavor, one had Ananya's special flavor and the other one had some for the servants too.

I paid her as I took the bag from her and turned back to look at Arnav.

"Well, it was nice meeting you Mr. Raizada." I smiled at him and tried to walk away before he called out my name.

"Khushi, the rule applies to all." He said.

"What rule?" I looked at him in confusion.

"You said I could call you Khushi, so why are you still being formal with me, I think my name isn't that bad either, you can call me Arnav."

"Nope, it's not bad, it's actually a good name, suits your personality." I smiled.

"Good then stop calling me Mr. Raizada, it sound like you're addressing an old man, and I'm very young yet." He laughed.

"I know that, so I'll see you at the office tomorrow Arnav." I tried to hide my smile as I remembered what I was thinking before, I had actually expected him to be old but he wasn't.

I waved a goodbye at him as he waved back at me, he was still smiling brightly, I turned around and walked away smiling to myself.

He sounded like a great person, thankfully he wasn't like some of those rude people I had worked with, it was a difficult job with them but I guess with Arnav, it was going to be easier.

"Arnav." I whispered his name as I headed back to my car, he had a really beautiful name actually, I liked the sound of it.

I sat inside the car looking at the bag with the ice cream tins excitedly, I was such a baby when it came to ice-creams, I was always so happy and excited about them I couldn't wait to get home and start ea ting like crazy.
