Part 2 Inspiration

Arnav was unconscious. He had been kept unconscious because the pain in his broken leg and hand would be unbearable if he gets his consciousness. So, Shashi was keeping him unconscious. After two days, Arnav was allowed to get consciousness. Shashi stopped giving him medicine which keeps him unconscious.

When he got consciousness back, he felt a heavy pain in his body. He couldn't even move his leg. He looked at his surroundings and found himself on the hard bed. Seeing the setup of the place, he understood that he was in an Ayurvedic Clinic. There was no one in the clinic.

Arnav recalled how he fell down into the valley. Hasn't he died yet? Is he still alive? He huffed in relief. Aman warned him not to go to Nainital. He should have listened to Aman's words. But he didn't. That's why he was here. But, how did he come here? Who brought him here? What's his present condition? He couldn't even move his leg...it pained like hell... what does he do now? How will he go to Delhi? He has to go...at any cost... Aman would think he is dead. What will happen if he doesn't go to Delhi? He was thinking a lot about his company. Lifting his head from the pillow, he tried to shout for help. But his voice didn't come out of his throat as it was dried like hell. He dropped his head on the pillow again. He felt thirsty. Someone would come to check him, he thought. He decided to wait until the doctor comes.

After a few minutes, he heard a girl's voice from outside.

*Khushi...Khushi where are you? *

He opened his eyes. Someone is searching for a girl called Khushi. The girl may be a doctor. He should take the girl's help to leave this place. He couldn't be here. He is Arnav Singh Raizada... how could he be in this place, leaving his company?

His chain of thoughts got broken when he heard someone's footsteps from behind the house.

*Hi, Preeto... how is your sister? * Khushi asked.

*Yeah...she is fine... we talked a lot about you* Preeto said.

*Oh...I was your time pass topic this time, it seems* Khushi smiled.

Preeto chuckled.

*What about your interview? I heard you didn't go to Delhi...*

Khushi sighed. Arnav wondered was the girl about to attend an interview? But why didn't she attend it? He expected her to give a silly excuse. Village girls find excuses to avoid opportunities because they would not like to come out of the village but roams around the village. That's why they mostly are not coming out of their circle. His mind analyzed village girls and their lifestyle quickly.

*Don't ask me about it...* Khushi said sadly.

*What happened? *

*Don't you know my Babuji? He gives more importance to his patients than anything... * she pouted.

*Of course, the whole village knows that*

*The same happened this time too. He saw a wounded man in the valley... that's all... he had forgotten everything...me and my interview... all thing around him got faded... he started treating him sincerely...he is still unconscious but alright now...* Khushi sighed.

Arnav felt bad for the girl. Because of him, she couldn't attend the interview. At the same time, he wondered about the doctor's sincerity. He likes sincere people. After all, he is Arnav Singh Raizada.

*Oh God...* Preeto said sadly.

Khushi pouted again.

*Don't worry... you will definitely get a good job...*

Arnav smiled. JOB... don't know where did she apply for a job. She would have applied to a small-scale company. Village girls won't have big dreams and will get stuck into a small circle. A very few come out of the circle, he thought but Khushi's reply dumbfounded him.

*I will never get a good job than that. You don't know about the company. It was one of the best companies in India. Mark my words, very soon it will become one of the best companies in the world. It's because...*

Cutting her,

*...its BOSS Arnav Singh Raizada... Khushi, won't you get bored of talking about him? How many times will you talk about him and his ability...? * Preeto sighed.

*He is such a person, Preeto... It's not easy to reach the peak at this small age. I wanted to join the job because the job was in AR. I want to work under ASR. I want to see his hard-working... his skills... That's all... Don't know when will he recruit again...* Khushi sighed.

*Khushi, I know he is your inspiration...it doesn't mean you should be firm to work for only him*

*He is my inspiration... that means a lot, Preeto. A village girl like me got the courage to break all the ties around me and want to come out of this village. It's because of him. I read he won't change his mind if he got into something... I too will be the same...* she smiled like a child.

Arnav's condition was not described in words. These girls are talking about HIM. This is the first time; he hears about himself from someone. It seems she knew a lot about him. Then how didn't she know he is here? How does she know? He never let his photos got published in magazines because he thought PRIVACY is the most important in life.

*Who can change you, Khushi...? That Arnav Singh Raizada did magic on you... that's why you have been spellbinding on him...*

Arnav expected Khushi to refute Preeto's words but Khushi didn't. Because the word SPELLBIND has a deep meaning. He wanted to see the girl who got inspired by him...who has a goal to do something beyond the village. Who is she? Is he that influential to change someone's life to this extend? Arnav felt proud of himself. He was looking at the entrance, expecting the girl.

*Arnav Singh Raizada is a big shot of India. Do you think you are lucky enough to meet him? * Preeto asked.

*I don't believe in Luck... that's why I tried to meet him through the interview...*

Arnav liked the answer because he too didn't believe in luck. His curiosity crossed its level to see the girl. He tried to make noise and he succeeded too. Khushi heard his low voice. She rushed inside the house.

Arnav saw the young beautiful girl in front of him.

*Are you alright? Are you feeling pain? *

Hearing her voice, Arnav understood that she is Khushi.

Arnav tried to say something but he couldn't. Khushi understood him. She rushed to the table and came back with a glass of water. She made him drink water, pouring it in his mouth little by little. Arnav was reading her face while drinking water.

She didn't look modern like his company staff but she was beautiful...her beauty was different from everything...just like a newly bloomed flower... just like a dewdrop on the tip of the grass...

*Enough? * she asked.

Arnav nodded yes. She kept the water glass on the table. She was about to leave the place, Arnav called her.

*My leg is paining like hell... could you give me a pain killer? *

*Babuji went to purchase medicines. He will be back soon. He will give you pain killer*

She turned to leave,

*Won't you give? *

*I'm not permitted to do that...* she took a step,

*Hey...*

Khushi looked at him.

*I can't tolerate the pain...*

Khushi sighed. She went to the cupboard and checked the medicines. She saw a single tablet in a bottle. She knew it kills pain. She brought it to him and forwarded it to his mouth. Arnav opened his mouth. Putting it in his mouth, Khushi poured water. Arnav gulped it down.

*It will lessen your pain* she said.

Arnav nodded ok.

*Your purse is there in the cupboard. You can take it wherever you want* she said.

Arnav wondered. Didn't even she open his purse? She would have got to know who he is if she had opened the purse. And, the cherry on the top, her way of talking to him told him that she didn't open his purse. Doesn't it seem interesting? Because people usually respect him a lot.... It seems there is no chance for it. Arnav smiled inwardly.

Afternoon

Khushi brought a glass of milk and gave it to Arnav.

*I don't like milk* Arnav sulked.

*Do you like medicines? * she asked sarcastically.

Arnav frowned not understanding her words.

*We eat medicines to get rid of the illness. This milk is also like that... have it. Then only you will be energetic*
