Part 21 ASR

In the meanwhile,

Aman called his assistant Sanjay.

"Yes, Aman Sir"

"You are staying in Indira Nagar right?"

"Yes, sir... in my flat," he said proudly.

"Oh... Stay at hotel Taj today."

"Hotel Taj...? But why Sir?" Sanjay asked.

"My relative is coming to Delhi today. There is renovation work going on in my house. That's why I need a decent house for their stay. I can't make them stay in a hotel. You are a single person... That's why "

"No problem, Sir. I will stay in the hotel"

"Thank you..."

Sanjay removed the house key from his pant pocket and gave it to Aman.

"Visaka Towers, seventh floor, D Block Sir "

"Thank you"

Taking a room card, Aman gave it to Sanjay.

"You don't have to worry about the bill... Enjoy... Have a nice day..."

"Thank you, sir" Sanjay grinned.

He left Aman's cabin happily.

3:30 am

The bus reached Delhi. Arnav woke up Khushi, tapping her cheek gently. She opened her eyes.

"We arrived at Delhi..." He said.

Khushi sat straight and neatened her dress.

Taking her bags, Arnav got down, Khushi and NK followed him. Arnav looked here and there.

"Wait here. I will just come"

He went to the nearby shop. Aman was waiting for him there.

"How are you ASR?"

"Fit and fine"

He gave Sanjay's house key along with Arnav's iPhone. Arnav stuffed them in his pocket.

"Visaka Towers, seventh floor, D block" Aman said.

"Ok, bring the car," Arnav said.

Aman nodded ok. Arnav went to Khushi with the key.

"The cab is coming"

Aman brought the car and stopped it under a tree. So, they can't notice whether it's a cab or not. Aman was sitting in the driver's seat, covering his face with a muffler. After loading the bags in the dickey, Arnav asked NK to sit in the front seat. He took a back seat with Khushi. Aman dropped them in the Visaka towers.

Arnav took Khushi and NK to Sanjay's flat. Khushi was dumbfounded, seeing the Royal flat of Sanjay.

"This flat is so beautiful, Arnavji"

"This is my friend's place. He is not here. We can use it to get fresh. After the interview, we will go to my house. They may panic if we go there at this time"

Khushi nodded yes.

"Your house will also be like this? " Khushi asked.

Arnav simply nodded yes.

"Now, take rest. The interview is at 11 o'clock. You can wake up at 8 o'clock... Ok?"

Khushi nodded ok.

NK lay down on the couch in the living room.

"Go to the bedroom and sleep, NK" Arnav said.

"This couch is so soft, Bhai. You take Khushi to the room. You too sleep for a while... tomorrow you have to go to your office" NK said.

Arnav nodded yes.

"Let's go, Khushi"

He took her to the bedroom. Khushi lay down on the bed. Arnav sat on the couch.

"You too sleep on the bed, Arnavji"

"Don't trust me, Khushi" he laughed.

Khushi pouted.

"Relax... sleep"

Khushi closed her eyes smilingly. Both were tensed in different ways. Khushi was in interview tension whereas Arnav was in Khushi's tension. He didn't care about Raizadas. He knew how to make them agree to the marriage. But Khushi's matter is different. What if she backs off knowing who is he? She may think of herself as inferior... this girl is so unpredictable. He leaned on the couch, closing his eyes, with a smile. Let's see, what Khushi does...there is Shashi and Garima for Arnav's help... they will be in Delhi if Khushi is not coming to his control. Arnav smiled.

The next day

Arnav took his shower and wake up Khushi and NK. Khushi saw the clock and it was 8 o'clock. she got down from the bed and rushed to the washroom.

NK was also about to go to another washroom, Arnav called him.

"Haan, bhai?"

"Don't forget what I said. I won't come to AR until she gives the interview... be with her"

"Ok, Bhai"

"Aman will also not come but someone will lead you"

"OK..."

"Go..."

NK went to take bath. The ordered breakfast arrived. Khushi came out, getting ready.

"Come on, eat breakfast" Arnav called.

"No, Arnavji. I will eat after the interview"

"The interview does nothing with your breakfast... eat something. Then only you can be relaxed. What will you do if you are hungry?"

"That's ok, Arnavji... I used to be skipping breakfast"

" Not anymore. Come" he pulled her to dining.

She ate as Arnav forced her. Arnav and NK also had.

"Khushi, I will be back soon. Don't get panicked... you are an eligible candidate to AR... ok?"

Khushi nodded ok.

"Are you scared?"

"NO... I'm much better. I'm chanting your words again and again"

"That's good" he smiled.

Taking the bags, NK walked out. Arnav clutched Khushi's hand. She looked at him. In no time, he hugged her warmly. Khushi reciprocated with him.

"Be cool... nothing is there to be nervous about...Ok? "

"Mmmm"

"Let's go"

They came downstairs and a car waiting for them. Arnav asked the driver to go to AR. They reached AR within half an hour.

"This is AR," Arnav said pointing at the building which is standing to the sky height.

Khushi raised her brows.

"Go and give the interview well," Arnav said.

"Will you come soon?" Khushi asked.

"Soon..."Arnav smiled.

Khushi walked towards AR with her certificates file. Arnav was looking at her, smilingly.

Khushi was about to enter.

"Khushi, keep your RIGHT feet first..." NK said.

"Nanne... is this my in-laws or what?"

"Haha...Of course... you are going to be living here in the future"

Khushi kept her right leg smilingly. There are many people waiting for the interview. Khushi gave her name in the reception. The receptionist asked her to be waiting. Khushi nodded ok and sat on the chair with NK.

"This is really an empire, Khushi," NK said wondering.

"Didn't I say?"

"Whatever you told me about AR is nothing compared to its real worth"

Khushi nodded affirmatively.

The interview started at 11 o'clock, in the three different rooms. Three AR officials conducted the interview. Though Khushi was nervous she felt better with Arnav's words. She made herself up for the interview. She has to prove herself. She has to lift herself up at least a little, if not to Arnav's level.

Khushi was happy as the interview was conducted for three posts. One is a junior accountant. Another one is management Assistant and the third one was not said. They said the post was a confidential one.

"What post it would be?" Khushi thought.

Khushi was called. Taking a deep breath, she went to the respective room. Nearly fifteen questions were asked. Five among them were about handling problems. She almost answered all the questions. Khushi knew the interview was a tough one. Yet, she answered because she knew the answers. Arnav was right. She is not less than the city girls. She was satisfied.

"You are selected" the assistant manager Sanjay said.

"Thank you, sir"

"Wait for a while and receive the appointment order"

"Ok, Sir"

Khushi came out of the room. She saw NK standing outside a room. he beckoned her and Khushi went to him.

"How did you give the interview, Khushi?"

"I'm selected...I got the job in AR, Nanne"

"Wow... we knew you are talented. you are the one who was nervous"

"I want to tell Arnavji about it"

"Did they ask you to wait?"

"Yes..."

"This is the room where you have to wait" NK pointed to the nearby room.

"Oh..."

"Come"

They entered in. Khushi's face brightened, seeing Arnav in the room. she rushed to him and hugged him.

"Arnavji, I got the job... they asked tough questions yet I answered," she said excitedly.

"Congrats..."

"When did you come?"

"Just now"

That's when Khushi noticed that they are in an official's room.

"Arnavji, I think we should not be here"

"Why?" there was a smile on his lips.

"It seems someone's room... maybe manager's room"

"This is my room," Arnav said.

"Your room? Are you working in AR? You said you are a businessman..."

"Yes, I'm..."

"Then, what are you doing here?"

That's when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," Arnav said.

A man who conducted the interview came in. Yes, he was Sanjay.

"Welcome back, ASR... Nice to see you again. AR got its charms again"

Arnav nodded yes looking at Khushi through the corner of his eyes.

"This is the interview results. You have to sign in it"

"Yup" Taking a pen, Arnav signed in it.

Khushi was dumbfounded seeing him signing. It was indeed ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA...

To be continued...

Shocking Khushi...

Khushi was... I have noword to explain her condition. She was looking at Arnav tongue-tied. She felther throat drained. She couldn't believe her own eyes. Arnav is none other thanASR... he is the one who she wanted to meet. He is the one who she wanted to workfor... Arnav. The same Arnav who was with her for the past twenty-five days inher house... getting treatment from her father.
