Part 26 Nervous Khushi

Arnav felt Khushi's body was shivering. He hugged her closer to him. This kind of matter is new to her. She had seen such scenes only in movies.

"Hey, relax" Arnav whispered.

Khushi snuggled more into his chest. Arnav touched her head lovingly.

"Was that a plot?" She asked in a quavering tone.

"Mmm"

"Do you know about that?"

"Mmm"

"Then why did you come to Nainital?" she asked the million-dollar question.

"To meet a girl who I inspired a lot" He chuckled.

"Why are you so careless, Arnavji?" she asked worriedly.

"I didn't expect it. I didn't think they will attack me so fast" he said keeping his cheek on her head.

"Please be careful, Arnavji"

"As you said, madam" he smiled.

"Who did that?"

"Will find it soon," he said sighing.

"Didn't you file the case on them?"

"Aman did..."

"Did you come to Nainital to go away from the girl?"

"Which girl?"

"Ohh... Sheetalji"

"She is not at all matter to me... I wanted to drive the car to a hill station... Enjoying the climate and beauty of the place..."

Khushi looked at him weirdly.

"Of course, she tortured me a lot..." he said, didn't want to hide it from her.

"What did she do?"

"Asked me to marry her. Roamed behind me, doing things for me"

"Ohhhh..."

"Forget her"

"She must be upset with me," she said nervously.

"Nope... not just upset. She must be angry with you... but who cares?" he said wrathfully.

"Will she do anything to me? "

"Don't think much, Khushi... Be cool"

She nodded ok.

"If you find anything odd or different, please don't hesitate to tell me"

She again nodded ok.

Khushi got a step back hearing the footsteps of someone, thinking that, Anjali is coming. But it was HP. Standing at the doorstep, he waited for Arnav's permission to get in.

"Come in," Arnav said.

HP came in with juice glasses and kept them on the table. He left the place.

"Sit," Arnav said.

Khushi sat on the bed. Taking one of the juice glasses, Arnav extended it to Khushi. Khushi took it from his hand and sipped it controlling her smile.

"What's running in your mind?" Arnav asked.

Khushi nodded no.

"No... There must be something... The smile you are suppressing told me about it"

"I thought about how I fought with my Amma for giving you my mush," she said chuckling.

"Special mush" Arnav laughed.

Khushi's smile broadened.

"It was truly tasted good and I felt energetic too," Arnav said.

Khushi nodded yes.

"When will we go to the office? "

"Be ready at 9 a.m. tomorrow"

Khushi nodded ok.

"Who will train me?" she asked curiously.

"Who else...? It's me"

"You? But you are the boss"

"Not for my would-be wife "

"But you will have a lot of work to do..."

"Yeah, you are going to help me to finish the work"

Khushi nodded ok. She understood that Arnav had a plan about it.

"I'm going," she said.

"Where?"

"To Nani's room"

"Wait... Di will come."

"That's ok, Arnavji" She stood taking the juice glass.

"Where are you taking the glass?"

"I will keep it in the kitchen"

"Hari Prakash will take it. Keep it here"

Keeping it on the tray, she walked out. Arnav followed her and waited outside, looking at Khushi.

As he expected, Khushi stopped in the midway, seeing Sheetal who was coming with her bag. She also stopped, noticing Khushi. Her facial expression changed wrathfully. Witnessing it, Khushi became embarrassed. Sheetal saw Arnav coming toward Khushi. He stood beside Khushi, looking at Sheetal with the lifted up left eyebrow. Throwing a sarcastic look on them, Sheetal walked out of RM.

Khushi looked at Arnav worriedly. Arnav blinked his eyes and gestured for her to go to Nani's room.

Khushi nodded her head and left the place.

Khushi saw Anjali and Manorama in Nani's room.

"You came?" Anjali asked.

"Ji..." Khushi entered in with a smile.

"Did you talk to your father, Khushiji?" Anjali asked.

"No, Anjaliji. I have no phone"

"A girl without a phone in this generation is a wonder," Mami said wondering.

"Exactly, Mami"

"Khushi bitiya will lose the specialty in one or two days" Manorama laughed.

"Haan... being PA of ASR how could she be without a phone?" Anjali asked.

"Talk to your father from my phone," Anjali said.

That's when they heard,

"No need"

They saw Arnav standing.

"Your Babuji is on the line" Arnav extended his phone to Khushi. Taking it from him, Khushi came out of the room.

"Babuji..."

"How are you bitiya?"

"I'm fine, Babuji"

"How was the surprise?" Shashi laughed.

"Breathtaking..." Khushi said smilingly.

"It must have been... because the surprise was given by Arnav Singh Raizada..." Shashi said feeling proud.

"You too hid the truth from me..." Khushi pouted.

"How can I deny when it was the order of the great Arnav Singh Raizada?" Shashi laughed again.

Khushi felt extreme happiness in his tone.

"I have been selected in the interview, Babuji"

"Congratulations, Beta"

"Thank you, Babuji"

"You have to prove yourself. Arnav trusts you a lot"

"Jee, Babuji. How is Amma?"

"One minute..." Shashi passed the phone to Garima.

"Amma..."

"Congratulation, Khushi"

"It's all your blessings Amma"

"I can't believe you are going to became Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada. How sweet Arnav bituwa is...!"

Khushi looked at Arnav who was talking with his beloved women.

"Haan, Amma," she said with a smile.

"Be careful... they are very reputed people. Ours and their customs differ completely. Try to learn from them. Don't talk much. Listen to them how they speak"

"Jee, Amma"

"Ok beta... take care"

"ok, Amma"

They disconnected the call. Khushi was about to go to the room, Arnav's phone rang again. Khushi looked at the screen and then Arnav advanced her. Khushi gave the mobile back to Arnav. It was Rohan's call. Arnav attended the call.

"Yeah..." Arnav started moving.

"ASR, I have found the phone number of the mobile given by you through a message from customer care," Rohan said.

"That's great..."

"I called all the numbers from the incoming and outgoing calls list"

"Ohh..."

"Almost all the calls got attended. Only one number is switched off. There are a few incoming calls from the number around the same date of your accident"

"Whose number is that?"

"I checked it and it was a fake detail"

Arnav sighed.

"And, there are no suspicious calls from anyone related to your office and the family, I tracked"

"Mmm"

"We have only one source to find the culprit, ASR"

"Laalan... right? "

"Exactly..."

"But, he said he didn't see him"

"He might have lied"

"Might be... keep the phone active and keep trying the same number. He may try Laalan if he gets to know that I'm alive"

"I think the phone should be with you. You may identify the voice of the person if he is a known person to you"

"You are right. I will get it from you tomorrow"

"Ok"

"Record the voice if you receive the call from the number"

"Ok, ASR"

Arnav disconnected the call thoughtfully. Who it could be? He walked towards his room thinking about it.

Invitation

Khushi wondered as Anjali also slept in Nani's room. She thought Anjali was just upset with Shyam. But it seems she was not ready to give up her anger easily. Khushi felt bad for Anjali. At the same time, she was happy seeing her doing this for Arnav.
