“Aman everything is going good, right? Why I am feeling so restless all of a sudden?”

“Cool down bro. It's just nothing. Here, have some water.” He passed him a glass of water.

Gulping in one go, he sighed rubbing his hand on his chest.

“I guess something is gonna happen for sure. Good or bad, God knows!” He mumbled to himself.

“Hmm?” Aman asked. Arnav shaked his head sideways answering as No.

“Look at that, that dress. I did the last touch up in it.”Aman said, raising his invisible collars. Anjali gave a tight smile making him frown.

Nudging her with his elbow, he asked

“What happened?”

“Nothing at all.” she said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

“Kuch to hua hai, kuch ho gya hai (Something has happened, something is going to happen)” He sang the lines winking at her.

“Khushi.” he heard Arnav's shocked whisper. He saw him standing and looking at the stage. Following his line of sight, his eyes widened.

“Khushi!”

Both, Aman and Arnav looked at each other shocked with a common thought running in their minds!!

What is she doing there?

“All the best” Lavanya raised her thumb. She smiled.

Holding and balancing her dress, she made her way towards the stage. Standing at her place away from everyone's sight, she joined her hands, praying her goddess for handling everything.

“Hey devi mayia. Help me.”

She felt someone pushing her and in the next moment she knew, was standing on the stage. A fear automatically gripped her heart. She could practically hear her heart thumping against her chest. She kept chanting Devi Mayia. She has never faced the crowd ever in her life.

Couraging herself somehow, she made her way on the ramp and started walking. Not being a professional model, she walked the normal walk which gave the audience a topic to ponder. She felt herself getting weak as the whispers got louder. She looked  ahead and her eyes widened making her whole body chill.

Shyam, Sameer and Raj stood infront of her at the end of the garden. Smirking at her, they made their way and sat on the empty table at the complete end of the lounge away from everyone's eye. They didn't break the eye contact with her.

Clutching her dress, she stepped back, but she sprained her ankle making herself fall. She closed her eyes tightly shut for the upcoming pain, which luckily never came. Due to the increase of her heartbeat, she felt her head spinning. Before fainting she heard her name from someone's mouth.

Khushi

Opening her eyes to her savior, she saw the most unexpected person.

Her Arnavji.

Standing up, Arnav stood at the side of the stage. He could clearly decipher the nervousness in her. He knew that she must have came accidentally over here. Seeing her, altogether excited as well as shocked him.

But suddenly he saw various emotions displayed on her face. From nervousness to fear to shock and then she stumbled back. He saw her looking ahead, which made her eyes widen. Tracing her line of sight, he saw no one standing there. He frowned. And the next moment when he saw her stepping back, he knew she would make a fall. So running forward, he held his arms open and caught her in nick of time whispering.

Khushi

He saw her opening her eyes at her name and could read the shock evident in her eyes. Before fainting he heard her say his name for which he was longing since long.

Arnavji

Surprisingly, Having her in his arms made his uneasiness shoo away. As if it found his heal. Though true.

“Arnav, Khushi?” Aman came and asked him. That's when he came back to the world.

His family gathered around them, asking him questions. Without answering or paying any heed, he left from their, her still in his arms.

I am not letting her go this time. He promised himself, crossing his heart.

“Shit, fuck!!! Where did she go? Who was the one who took her away?” Shyam spat.

“You don't know him!!” Raj asked surprised.

“He is the fashion king of India. Has been into news alot of times.” Sameer shrugged.

“Now what do we do?” Shyam asked worried. “I can't let that bitch ruin me. She has to be found.”

“Hmm” Raj, Sameer hummed nervously.

“I guess we need to file a case against that man who took her” Shyam spoke without thinking.

Sameer laughed a humorous laugh. “You think you will find her that way. You asshole, after filing a case, it's you who will be ruined. Do you want me to remind you your deeds, your work, your business of human trafficking and a Brothel that you own.”

“Do you?” He asked raising his brows.

“Fuck!!!” Shyam muttered under his breath. He swiped his hand on his face and let out a long breath.

“I guess we need to wait. She won't be hidden for much time. One or the other day, she will be out. We just need to keep an eye on that Raizada man” Raj suggests.

“Hmm… I guess this could be done.” Sameer agreed sipping on his drink.

“Now I need to go.” Keeping his glass down, Shyam stood and left.

“Doctor, how is she? Is she awake? What exactly had happened to her? Why did she faint all of a sudden?” Arnav asked worried to the doctor who just came out after checking her. Aman who stood beside him, patted his shoulder asking him to calm down.

“Hold on! She is fine. May be she fainted due to nervous breakdown, but it isn't anything serious. And yes, I guess she has not been eating lately. Please take care of her diet.”

“Thank you doctor.” Arnav shaked his hand with her.

“I wanted to ask how you related to her?”

“Umm… doctor…” Arnav didn't knew what to say. He was tongue tied at the moment. But nonetheless opened his mouth to speak.

“I am his brother.”
