Updates after this might not be that quick :)

Wo jo dabi si aas baki hai...
Khushi was working in Akash's cabin managing his schedule for the day when she heard the door burst open and the man who walked in through it made her frown.
He has kept his distance from her the last few days ever since he asked her that she would be working under Akash.
She was glad she didn't has to face him anymore because being with him and his ways of trying to make her jealous were quite painful and were pinching her heart even though she had gone through it for just that day only.
Now why was he here after the silence of days?
Seeing his dark eyes gave her the warning signals and when he starting taking steps towards her she felt like a prey going to be attacked by the lion.
She stood up and greeted him not wanting to get in to another verbal spat with him.
"You look quite happy being away from me honey?" He looked calm.
Dangerous type of calm
"For the umpteenth time. I am NOT your honey!"
"You will be. After the end of this hour."
"Huh?"
The next moment she found herself backed against the desk with him hovering over her.
"Move back!" She demanded angrily leaning back to create some distance only for him to yank her forward in his hold, against his chest.
"What's the hurry honey? The hour has just started."
"Ye aap kya kar rahe hain Arnavji. Chodiye humein!(What are you doing Arnavji? Leave me!)" She wiggled.
He didn't.
Instead he leaned to her ear and whispered.
"I am giving you a chance to settle your sister's life. If you still acted stubborn then I won't be responsible for the things that will happen thereafter."
"She is MY sister. Let ME think about her life"
She twisted in his hold only to find herself more trapped in his grip until it was too painful to handle.
"Chodiye humein, humein dard ho raha hai!(Leave me, it is paining!)" She winced loudly.
"Dard toh mujhe bhi ho raha hai Khushi par tumhe dikhta nahi hai!(IT IS PAINING ME TOO KHUSHI BUT YOU CHOSE TO OVERLOOK THAT!)" He growled shaking her petite form in his arms.
"Ya phir shayad tum dekhna nahi chahti? Badla laina chahti ho mujhse? Iss tarah door reh k, mujhe takleef de k. Mujhe baar baar NA bol k?(Or is it that you don't want to acknowlege it? Are you taking some kind of revenge? By staying away from me, by hurting me. By refusing me again and again with a NO?)"
She raised her eyes and took a deep breath to gather the courage to withstand his painful hold.
"Hum apki tarah bilkul bhi nahi hai jo badla lete phire Mr.Raizada. Humare pass itna faltu waqt nahi hai dosro ko satane k liye!(I am NOT like YOU that I would go around taking revenge Mr.Raizada. I have better things to do other than troubling others!)" Her misty eyes spitted fire at him.
"Toh kya karta mai? Kya karun mai Khushi?(What would I have done then? What should I DO?)" He leaned to her punching his hand on the desk behind making her jump.
"Tumhe pata hai kaisa lagta hai jab ap sirf ye chahte ho k jisse aap pasand karte ho us ko bhi sirf apka khayal ho par nahi wo toh bas har kisi ki taraf dekhta hai siwaye aap k!(Do you know how does it feel when all you want is the attention of the person you LIKE and all you get is their indifference towards you while they are too attentive to everyone around them?)"
She blinked her lashes at him and then her eyes dilated in surprise when he cupped her cheeks firmly.
"I know I made a few blunders and I AM still making them. Maybe I would do more in future but that's how I am Khushi." His voice dropped to a whisper as he rubbed her cheeks with his fingers.
"All this comes naturally to me. I have a habit of getting what I want.I am used to hear an obedient YES, never NO for years now but you..." He traced his fingers on her cheeks.
She swallowed blinking her eyes in a trance.It wasn't everyday she get the insight of THE ASR that too from his own mouth!
"...You have made me taste the bitterness of a refusal and IT...it just rubbed me badly, in a very wrong way.Ego hurt hui mairi Khushi(It hurt my ego).It pricked me too much." He swallowed.
"Do you know what do I do if I can't have something?" He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
She nodded in a no staring at him in a daze.
"I SNATCH IT!"
That broke her out of the stupor.
She pushed him and gulped down a huge lump stuck in her throat.
"First of all I am not a THING that you can SNATCH. I am a human being. A LIVING being Mr.Raizada!"
"Oh I know it very well. You are a human being with brilliant qualities in YOU. Stealing being on the top!"
"What?" She asked in disbelief.
"You heard me!"
"You are calling me a thief?" She gritted her teeth.
He chuckled.
"You always prove me right Khushi. You don't have a brain.So why don't you do yourself a favor and don't try to use it and listen to your heart and stop running away from ME because try as you might, you CAN'T!" He shook his head.
She clenched her hands but kept quiet.
"You see as you don't have any brains and I don't have a heart as you say, WE will be perfect for each other.I can help you with mind games and you can teach me how a heart beats!" He said deliberately keeping his voice low sending shivers down her spine.
"No, thank you. I am fine the way I am. I don't want to learn any games." She folded her hands on her chest.
"Again, No." He said shaking his head drumming his fingers on the desk behind impatiently as if in a warning.
There was a silence for many minutes in which only clock ticking sound could be heard as they both stood facing each other leaning against the desks across each other.
"10 minutes left" He broke the silence.
"For what?"
"For the hour to complete." He gave her duh expressions.
"For the umpteenth time. I am NOT your honey!"
"You will be. After the end of this hour."
She averted her eyes feeling rage bubbling up inside her.
"What will happen after 10 minutes?"
"Payal will come in and she will see me holding you and you will be crying. Seeing that she will burst out on me and then she would not let you be here anymore. Thus making her more bitter towards me.That means she would keep avoiding Akash. Chances of them being together will become zilch then." He said in one breath and then shrugged as if it was no big deal.
Her eyes widened in horror.
She dashed to the door only to be pulled back in her position, his hands on either sides of her while she was pinned against the desk again.
"I told you. Keep my family out of it."
"I told you to agree if only you would."
"Go and ask that Tanya to marry you." She seethed.
"Oh are you jealous now?"
"Jealous my foot!"
"Oh the foot is yours only Khushi!" He chuckled.
"This is NOT funny!"
"That's what I am saying. IT IS NOT!" He gritted on her face.
"You disgust me. Just to get your way, you are ready to jeopardize your brother's happiness."
"I disgust you? I do?" He moved dangerously closer to her face.
This time she stood her ground.
"Yes you do!"
"You hate me?"
"Yes I do!"
"Fine. Let me give you all the more reasons to HATE me then!"
"Don't you dare!"
She screeched struggling hard as he started leaning to her lips.
But then stopped suddenly when she whimpered.
"Just so you know. You will have to use your heart and little bit of MY brain to handle your sister."
"Huh? What?" She whispered.
"I am dying to hear a YES from you."
Right then the door burst open and entered Payal before Khushi could retort.
"Akash Sir, this..." Payal bursted in the cabin only to halt in her tracks.
Khushi's eyes widened when her sister pulled her behind her and lashed out at Arnav.
"Payal?" Akash asked surprised entering in.
"This is what I was talking about." She pointed to Khushi's tears and then at Arnav addressing Akash.
"Whenever he is around, he hurt her. Same happened again. You would've seen the way he was holding her."
"Enough is enough. I am grateful to you Akash that you offered us jobs to help us but I can't take anymore risks when it is the matter of my sister.We are out of here." She took Khushi's wrist in her hold.
She glanced at Akash ji's pale face pleading to his brother for help.
Her eyes clashed with his and he raised his eyebrow at her.
She gritted her teeth to stop herself from screaming because it was the matter of her sister and she knew her jiji's happiness lies with Akash ji and if she left today from here then her jiji would never agree to marry Akash ever. Little bit chance they had would vanish.Forever this time.
"Jiji, Calm down." She didn't move from her place when her jiji tried to drag her.
"Calm down? I have seen it through my eyes how he treats you. You are not a toy Khushi that he could play with you as and when he likes."
She stole a glance at him.
Brain
Use it
He mouthed.
"He didn't play jiji."
"Then explain the reason of your tears?"
Khushi took a deep breath.
"These are tears of happiness" She moistened her lips.
He quirked his eyebrow at her.
Heart Khushi
He mouthed.
"Oh really?" Payal scoffed.
"Hmm" She could only whisper with a nod.
"What kind of happiness did he give you?" Payal exclaimed pissed.
"He proposed me and I said yes."
Jiji gasped and so did Akash ji while the devil's lips lifted up in a smirk.
"What?" Payal murmured shocked.
She raised her lashes and her gaze clashed with his victorious one.
Good job!
He mouthed at last bursting her nerves.
She was barely able to control the urge to go there and slap him uncaring of anything else.
"Yup!" He walked to her and pulled her closer snaking his arm around her waist.
She kept her gaze down trying to control her anger.
"We are getting engaged...soon." He said before he bent and dropped a kiss on her temple jolting the other two occupants of the room out of their stupor.
"Khushi, is that- Khushi Is it .. Tell me this is a lie!" Payal ground her teeth coming over to Khushi.
"Jiji, will you leave us alone for a minute?" Khushi raised her head and said expressionlessly.
"But-"
"Jiji, I will explain everything to you when we get back home but right now, I want to settle a few scores with him."
"What scores? Did he do.."
"No jiji. He shocked me with the marriage proposal. I didn't get the time to react properly. I want to show him my happiness over it."
"Khushi.."
"Please jiji? Akash ji, can you take jiji away for a bit?"
Akash stepped forward and walked out taking Payal's hand with both of them having the same confusion in their minds.
What the hell just happened?
She pushed him away with all the force as soon as Payal and Akash left.
He staggered back before closing his eyes.
To be honest, his anger and irritation went away as soon as she agreed to marry him.
But her next words killed all of the joy bubbling inside him.
"We will get engaged Mr.Raizada. We WILL. But that engagement would only stay till jiji and Akash ji will marry. As soon as they would take their vows, I would be out of your life. Forever. And when that happened, I wanna see how would you blackmail me then."
She pointed her finger at him.
"Khushi..."
"No!" She held out her hand to him.
"You have said enough. You have done more than enough!"
"That wasn't.."
"Shut up. You love seeing me helpless because you know my family is my weakness. Do you even know what those people are called who use other weaknesses to get their ways?"
He averted his eyes.
"Spineless jerks and you are one of them!" She breathed heavily.
"Khushi, let me.."
"NO. Just shut up I said. Just shut up. I don't want to hear your voice. I hate you!"
He swallowed running his fingers in his thick hairs.
"You said so much of what you feel and all. Let me tell you what I feel about you?" She pointed to herself.
He clenched his jaws to gather his emotions which were all over the place.
"You are a selfish, bloody bastard and an equally coward man and that's what my feelings are for you and they aren't going to change ever because you won't.A hypocrite who says he likes someone and goes around sleeping with someone else!"
He closed his eyes.
"You like winning, no? Guess what, I know the feeling of loss and trust me at the end of our relation I would make sure that you feel it too.You would regret the day you asked me to marry you when I will be done with you!"
The tears were rolling down her eyes but her stance was rigid throwing daggers at him and they were stabbing his heart.
"Khushi! Khushi! Khushi!" He took hold of her elbow when she made to leave and pulled her into a hug.
She wriggled.
"Let go of me!" She cried out.
"I HATE YOU. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID. For all you ever did!" She choked at the end.
"I am not a perfect man Khushi, I know. But I am not that bad either. Trust me." He clutched her protesting form in his arms refusing to let go.
His heart was tearing apart.
"I would keep you happy Khushi. Listen to me!" He mumbled against her face which only increased her struggles.
"You only know how to manipulate." She accused pushing at him.
"Let me explain why I did all that." He said desperately.
"I don't want to hear anything!" She won't listen.
"Khushi.. I-"
"Don't touch me. Your touch repels me!"
His grip loosened at that and getting the chance.She succeeded in freeing herself and then she ran out wiping her tears.
He won but he lost her too in the process.
She lost but she went out of the door as a winner.
Why he was feeling like..
She wasn't just walking out of the door but out of his life?
