Part 33 Arnav was in the Party

Aman came to Arnav's cabin and gave him a paper bag.

"Thanks," Arnav said.

"Anytime..." Aman left his cabin.

Aman knew the thing in the paper bag was for Khushi. So, he didn't want to stay there. As he expected, Arnav called Khushi and she came to his cabin. Taking the bag, he gave it to Khushi.

"What's this Arnavji?"

"See it by yourself"

Khushi saw a phone in the bag. She raised her head towards him.

"What's this Arnavji?"

"A phone for your use... Keep it..."

Khushi nodded yes. She thought something.

"Arnavji, we are going to the party tomorrow right?"

Arnav nodded yes thoughtfully.

"Won't we gift Payal's mother anything?"

"What do you want to gift?"

"Saree?"

"Sure..."

Khushi smiled delightedly.

"What are you going to wear at the party?" Arnav asked.

"Saree...?"

"Saree? Are you sure?"

"Haan..." Khushi shrugged her shoulders off.

"Ok, I will give you one from the AR collection."

"But, I have a few sarees, Arnavji"

"So?" he asked lifting his left brow.

Khushi nodded no.

"Wear what your Boss gives... Ok?" Arnav ordered.

"Why would I wear what my Boss gives? Who is he to give me a saree? I won't accept anything from my Boss..." She said.

"What the..."

"Haan... How anyone could take gifts from her Boss unless he is related to her?"

"Am I not related to you?"

"But you didn't mention the relationship here, Arnavji. Instead, you addressed yourself as Boss... If you are Boss, I'm your PA. I don't want to take anything from my Boss" she said sulking her face.

Arnav came closer to her smirking that made Khushi look here and there.

"A few minutes ago, who you kissed?" He asked, whispering.

Khushi jerked and composed herself.

"My Arnavji who was in his cabin..." She said stammering.

"Ok... Wear the saree given by your HUSBAND. Is that ok?"

"Double ok" she smiled, looking down.

"Why Khushi, so what if I'm the Boss?"

"A Boss can't be a savior of a woman but her husband"

"For you, I'm always ARNAV no matter where I'm standing... For me, you are my wife no, where you are going, with whom you are spending... I will always be your Savior... Remember that..."

Khushi smiled and nodded ok. Taking the phone, she was about to leave, Arnav clutched her hand. Khushi looked at his hand and then him. Arnav hugged her gently. Though Khushi widened her eyes she smiled composing herself.

"Khushi, I love you... I will safeguard you till my last breath..."

Breaking the hug, Khushi looked at him oddly. Why does he look weak?

"What happened Arnavji???? Why do I feel you are looking vulnerable?"

Arnav made himself up.

"I was thinking about the accident and also about the help you and your family did for me. Without you guys, I won't be alive today..."

"But, why suddenly you are thinking about that?"

"I always do... From the time, I got my consciousness back, I think that often. What would have happened if your father had not found me in the dark forest?"

Cutting him,

"Someone would have saved you...because God wants you to live long. It might be a plot against you but when God is with you, no one could do anything to you, Arnavji. There is something God wants you to do that you never did before. That's why he gave you second chance..."

Arnav smiled.

" Then what about you? "

"Me?"

"How would I marry you if someone would have saved me instead of your father?"

"If my name has written in your destiny you will marry me at any cost. If my name is not written with yours, it will never happen no matter how hard you try"

" You are my destiny. Because of your family, my second innings started. My life took an unexpected turn. As you said, this is my second innings and I will do something I have never done before. I don't know what your God wants from me... what he has written in my destiny... but I am sure you are going to travel with me in the entire second innings of mine... don't forget that"

She nodded yes.

Night

Arnav was lying down on the bed. He was thinking about what Khushi said. He knew she was his destiny... but dirty-minded people like Sheetal can do anything. A person who is behind the accident may try to do something horrible again. he has to be careful. Whatever it is, he should get married to Khushi as soon as possible. Arnav decided something and slept.

The next day

Arnav looked extremely calm. There were no wavering thoughts in his mind. He was 200% confident about what he was planning.

As he said, Khushi got a beautiful designer saree from AR. Her eyes popped out, seeing the glorious and costly saree. This is what Arnav wants to give her? God... anyone would look elegant in this marvelous saree. Khushi thought.

Raizadas are ready for the party. They dropped their jaws when they got to know, Arnav also coming with them. They stood with their mouth opened, seeing Khushi's stunning look.

"Chotte, are you also coming with us?" Anjali asked unbelievably.

"Yes, Di..." He said without any expression on his face.

"But, you told Bolinath uncle, you won't come...?"

"Why Di? Should not I come?" he asked.

"Why not? Who doesn't like to be with the great Arnav Singh Raizada?"

"Anjali Bitiya, our Arnav Betwa wants to be with Khushi bitiya I think..." Manorama said.

"Ohh... That's the matter????" Anjali teased.

Khushi blushed, looking down.

"Khushi you look beautiful and the blush on your face makes you more beautiful..." Anjali said.

"Does not mean you can make her blush all the time Di... " Arnav smiled.

"Why Chotte, is making Khushi blush only your rights?" Anjali teased.

Arnav smiled looking at Khushi who was suffocating.

"Thank God, Khushi Bitiya know to blush. After I came to Delhi, I have almost forgotten the word blush because no girl blushes here " Nani said.

"Exactly," Anjali said.

"Ok guys... let's go," Arnav said and started taking steps towards Khushi.

"Shall we go Khushi?" he asked and Khushi nodded yes. They left RM together.

Party hall

Bholinath and his wife were greeting people. On the other side, Payal and Akash were taking care of the guests. Payal's face drained, seeing Sheetal entering the venue. Bolinath looked at Payal embarrassing.

"Hello uncle, hi aunty happy birthday" she wished.

"You said you won't come...?" Bolinath asked her with a bit awkward expression.

" Yes, Uncle, but how could I ignore your invitation? So, I preferred you over my friend."

Bolinath smiled uncomfortably.

Sheetal came to Payal.

"What happened Payal? You look distraught...? Don't you like my presence here? " she asked, mockingly.

Payal left the place said nothing.

Mr and Mrs Bolinath welcomed Raizadas. Bholinath wondered as Arnav also came with them. He gulped hard. Don't know what Arnav will think if he sees Sheetal at the party but who knows he will come to the party? Both Arnav and Sheetal said they won't come to the party and both came. What does he do now?

Payal and Sheetal both got struck seeing Arnav. But Payal felt relieved because Sheetal won't dare do anything as she knew Arnav won't be quiet if she does anything.

On the other hand, Sheetal smirked. She wanted to make Raizadas feel low but her good luck, Arnav voluntarily got involved in that. Let him share his part of the humiliation... Let him bow down in front of the people for choosing a country girl. Within a few minutes, their reputation is going to fly away in the air. She thought.

Arnav sat at the corner table with Khushi. A bearer served them juice and raised his thumb finger towards Sheetal who spilled the winning smirk and sipped her favorite juice, overjoyed.
