Part 29 Party plan

Payal stood with tension, feeling helpless. She didn't know what to do. Sheetal's sudden entry was unexpected. Don't know what will she do.

*What have you done, Dad?* she said disappointed.

*What? What did I do?* Bolinath asked.

*Why did you invite Sheetal to the party? *

*What are you asking Payal? She is the sister in law of your sister in law*

*There is a big mess going in RM, Dad. Shyam Jeejaji threw her out of RM yesterday*

Bolinath was shocked.

*What are you saying, Beat? *

*Yes, Dad. She is the root cause of every problem of Raizadas...*

*What do you mean? *

Payal told him everything.

*Oh, God... I know nothing about it. You didn't say anything to me. Then how do I know about all this? Unaware of the seriousness, I invited her to the party* he said panicking.

*I have invited Khushi also...* Payal said nervously.

*We have to... she is going to be Mrs. ASR after all. How could we be not inviting her? *

*But, Sheetal is coming Dad. She won't be quiet. She will definitely do something, Dad*

*How could she do? This is our family party* Bolinath asked annoyingly.

*You don't know her, Dad. She won't hesitate to do anything. She would be angry with Khushi and Raizadas. What if she insults Khushi? If something happened like that then we can't face Arnavji after that* Payal was nervous.

*We have to do something immediately to stop Sheetal*

*She won't stop, Dad*

*What if we change the program timing? We didn't tell her the timing. So, we can change the timing. We will do party in the morning*

*Party in the morning? * Payal frowned.

*Yes... people will feel a little uncomfortable. But it doesn't matter at all. We should not let her insult Khushi*

*Haan, Dad. Then no one could save us from Arnavji's wrath* Payal said fearfully.

*No... it won't happen... we will change the timing... or will change the party day *

*What will you tell Sheetal? *

*We can say we canceled the party because I'm not feeling well*

Payal nodded ok.

AR

Arnav was dictating a letter and Khushi was taking notes. He finished dictating.

*Do you know what should be done, Khushi? * Arnav asked.

*Yeah... this letter should be sent to JK and Sons. I will send it after typing it. Will get the address from Amanji* Khushi said.

Arnav nodded ok smilingly. She stood from the chair.

*You can do that after the lunch break. Now sit and have lunch with me*

*I will eat in my cubicle, Arnavji* she said hesitatingly.

*Why? Why not here? *

*Just like that*

*You know what? I always forget to have lunch. I thought I can eat at the right time without forgetting if you are with me*

Khushi sighed and sat again.

*That's good* he smiled.

They heard a knock on the door.

*Come in* Arnav said.

Aman came inside.

*Yes, Aman? *

*ASR, a few reporters want to meet you*

*How do they know about me? *

*They are media after all* Aman said.

*When do they want to meet me? *

*They are always ready. It's you who should ask your PA about your schedule* Aman said teasingly.

Arnav looked at Khushi smirking.

*You can meet them tomorrow at 3 pm. There is no schedule in that time* she said making Aman stunned.

*Check once and then say, Khushi* Arnav smiled.

*No need, Arnavji, I'm sure it is leisure time. You can check the planner*

Arnav saw the planner and nodded yes with a smile.

*So, shall I fix the press meet tomorrow at 3 pm? * Aman asked.

*Yeah... go on* Arnav said.

*What about Khushi? Doesn't she have any problem? *

*When Arnavji said ok, there is nothing to say* Khushi said.

*If every husband gets a wife like this, there won't be any problem in the families* Aman said.

*Wait, Aman... she has not become a wife yet... let's see... anyone can change after the marriage...* Arnav said smiling.

Khushi looked at him surprisingly. Is he thinking that she will change after that marriage?

*Am I right, Khushi?* Arnav asked.

*No... you are not right. nothing will change after the marriage*

*Really?*

*Really...*

*Aman, Did you hear what she said? you are the witness...* Arnav said.

*Yeah... I will be watching Khushi after the marriage...* Aman said.

*Are you guys making fun out of me? *

*No... we are telling the truth. Didn't we see how people change after the marriage? * Aman said.

*Yeah, Aman is right...People change after the marriage*

Khushi was silent. She knew they are pulling her leg.

*Amanji, you too eat with us* Khushi changed the topic.

*No, Khushi. ASR may eat me for lunch. You guys carry on* Aman left the place.

Arnav laughed where Khushi pressed her lips to control her smile.

*Let's eat* Arnav said.

*But, where is the lunch? * Khushi asked.

*Lunch? You eat me and I eat you* Arnav said smirking.

Khushi dropped her jaw. Arnav lifted the bag and showed it to her.

*When did it arrive? *

*Just before you came here*

*Oh...*

*Come on,* Arnav stood.

Before Arnav took the bag, Khushi rushed to the bag and lifted it.

*What happened? *

*You no need to lift it...*

*Why?*

*Because you are Arnav Singh Raizada...*

*I can lift it because I'm your husband*

He snatched the bag and walked to the couch. Khushi followed him to the couch. They started having lunch.

*How do you remember my schedule accurately, Khushi? *

Khushi suppressed her smile.

*Why? *

*Actually, I thought to learn something from you when you are free. That's why I could remember it* she said whispering.

Arnav laughed at her.

*How do you feel to be a part of AR? * Arnav asked.

*I just can't believe I'm in AR and having lunch with the great Arnav Singh Raizada...* she said excitedly.

*I was so thrilled whenever you spoke about me you know? I never was curious about anything. But I wanted to see your face when you get to know who I'm*

*My heart almost stopped that time*

*It won't stop without my order...*

*Oh really?*

*Yes... it will work until I mine is working *

Khushi was stuck. Making herself,

*I heard ASR is not fond of sentiments...?* she asked, smiling.

*I was... until I stepped into a small village of Nainital... a girl in the village changed me utterly.*

*Arnavji, are really your family members fine with me?*

*They are... even though they didn't our marriage will happen by hook or by crook*

Khushi sighed.

*What?*

*Arnavji, how the party will be? Will it be like how it is shown in the movies? *

*Kind of*

*I'm scared... can't I skip it Arnavji? *

*What made you scared? *

*These are new to me, Arnavji.*

*We will have to attend office parties too. What will you do?*

*You will be with me. So, there is nothing to be scared of. I will be relaxed*

*Ok, if it is the problem, I will also come to the party. Fine?*

*Really?*

*For you...*

*Thank you so much Arnavji*

*Anytime...* Arnav said smilingly.

Khushi huffed in relief.

Toxic Sheetal

Sheetal was damn sure Khushi would also be invited to the party. Khushi will come to the party as she became a center of attraction in RM. And Arnav will not come to the party. She knew how fond Arnav was of parties. He doesn't like parties. Everyone knows that.

Sheetal knew Payal didn't want to invite her to the party. Payal may do something to stop her to come to the party. Before she does anything, she should take lead.
