Part 8 Unique Piece

Aman's eyes were on Arnav whereas Arnav's eyes were on Khushi. Khushi frowned, seeing a new man sitting with Arnav. While passing a weird look to Aman, she handed a medicine to Arnav. After he did put it in his mouth, she passed a water glass. Taking it from her hand, Arnav gulped it down.

Khushi was about to go, Arnav called her.

*Khushi...*

She raised her brows casually and a soft chuckle escaped from Aman's throat.

*He is Aman my friend and manager of our company* He introduced Aman to Khushi.

*Namaste* Khushi said joining her hands.

*Namaste Khushiji* Aman greeted her.

*Do you know my name? * Khushi asked.

*I know your whole history...* Aman smiled.

*Just now your mother told him about you...* Arnav said.

*Amma... why are you telling about me to a stranger? *

*He is not a stranger but Arnav beta's friend* Garima said.

*Amma... Arnav beta is also a stranger to us... he said not to trust anyone...don't forget that* she said looking at Arnav from the corner of his eyes, making Arnav smile.

*I have to go...* Garima left the place.

*Aman... do you know who is her inspiration? * Arnav asked smilingly.

*Who? * Aman asked as if he didn't know.

*A...S...R...* he smiled.

*really? * Aman asked Khushi and she nodded yes.

*How do you know him? * Aman asked her again.

*Who won't know him? I had read many things about him...*

*oh...*

*Yeah... she knows about him very much except one... she doesn't know how arrogant ASR is... poor she...* Arnav said.

*You should have read about it somewhere too...* Aman said.

*I think she doesn't. You tell her how arrogant ASR is* Arnav said looking at Aman with a content smile.

*Are you sure? *

*Of course...*

*Ok... Don't ask me that Khushi... people shiver to talk to him. there is a pet name for ASR... people call him LION*

Arnav raised his brows because Aman never told him about his pet name.

*Very dangerous PET he is it seems* Khushi chuckled.

*He can't be a pet to anyone...* Aman said.

*Oh...*

*He never compromises when it comes to working for his company...*

*That's why he reached the peak in the small age...* Khushi said.

*You know what Khushi, the poorest soul in the AR emperor is his manager...* Aman said sadly.

Arnav raised his brows hearing that.

*He is the one who always faces ASR's wrath... he throws the files on him...he scolds him like hell... he shouted at him to resign the job if he does even a silly mistake...* Aman said sadly.

In that, he didn't notice Arnav's was looking at him with a sarcastic gaze.

Aman looked at Arnav and grinned. Arnav gestured to him like, I will deal with you later. Aman gulped down. But, as both of them didn't expect,

*Why his manager is not resigning from the job? * Khushi asked Aman.

Aman tilted his head a bit as he didn't know what to say.

*He won't resign from the job because he knew he will never get such a reputed job. ASR is not a fool to scold his staff who completes his work perfectly. If he scolds his manager, then he must have done something wrong. His manager too would know that. That's why he is tolerating ASR's wrath. And...Manager of AR is not a game but a matter of ASR and his company's reputation. If the manager of AR got the responsibility in his hand, then he is totally responsible for the work ... we should not forget, ASR can get many talented people for the post... yet he is not firing his manager for his mistakes. That means, he knew his value...* Khushi finished, advocating for ASR.

Aman dropped his jaw whereas Arnav forgot to blink. What a clarity...what a deep analysis... how brilliantly she approached the issue even though she never knew ASR and his manager. Aman was dumbfounded.

Aman's eyes slowly moved to Arnav who was not on the earth. Don't know where was he flying. It was not wrong if he got attracted to this girl.

Aman's next question brought Arnav to the earth and he became curious.

*What will you do if you meet ASR? *

Arnav was keenly reading her facial expression but there was no change in it.

*I will do nothing...* she shrugged her shoulders off.

Her reply made them confusing.

*Why Khushi...? *

*Why means... What would I do? What could I do? *

*You like him very much, you are thinking just like ASR and his manager... *

*Amanji, he is ASR... I like him... just like, how I like Salman Khan... both are celebrities... Stars on the sky... I can admire them but could never near them... I should not...*

*But, you wanted to work for him? * This time, the question came from Arnav.

*I still do... I want to work for him... if I get a chance to do that, I will definitely do that*

*You mean you don't want to show your talent to him? *

*He has many talented people around him, right? *

Aman nodded yes.

*I will be ONE in HUNDRED in front of his staff... I have no special qualities in me...* She said politely.

*Who knows Khushi, ASR may see something special in you* he said looking at Arnav from the corner of his eyes.

Khushi smiled softly.

*ASR and special in me...? * she nodded no and left the place.

Arnav was watching at her disappearing figure gulping down.

*This girl is really a unique piece...* Aman said.

*Yes, she is...*

*Are you going to bring this girl to AR? *

*I will surely do...* he said not taking his eyes from the entrance.

*Why won't you tell her who you are? *

*She is very simple and real... she may wrap herself up into something unreal if she got to know who I'm... let it be real...*

*It seems you are attracted to her...*

A soft smile slipped from Arnav's lips.

*Are you in love with her...? * Aman asked.

*I like her... It feels like I want to be with her... but I don't know whether it is love* he said frowning.

*It is ASR... it is... why would you like to be with her that you never felt with anyone...? Why would you be with her? Why? *

That's when Arnav saw Khushi spreading a cloth on the floor outside, she spread some grains over it to get it dried. Arnav's eyes got stuck on her. Aman was right. Why does he want to be with her? What's there which makes him feel like that? He looked at Aman who was observing him smilingly.

*I don't think, I'm in love*

*Ok... then come with me... leave the place... forget about bringing her to Delhi... especially to AR...*

Arnav turned his gaze to somewhere.

*You don't feel like coming with me, right? Then this is nothing but LOVE... you started loving her... unknowingly...*

Arnav slowly turned his eyes to Khushi. there was a cute smile on her face which made him smile too.

*Don't hurry. Take your time and realize what you are having in your heart for her...*

Aman thought something.

*Or... are you thinking about your status difference? After all, she is a middle-class village girl...*

*Ohh... shut up Aman... my property is enough for our seven generations... she is something beyond everything...* he said not taking his eyes from Khushi.

Aman nodded yes looking at Arnav who was literally admiring Khushi. He wants to be with her... he admires her... but he was not sure that he is in love with her... ASR is capable to turn the world upside down but he was unable to realize his own heart. Aman chuckled softly.

Aman had a simple and tasty breakfast at Shashi's house. Garima's dexterity was so amazing. Aman thought. Khushi was the one who served him.

*what about Arnav's breakfast? * Aman asked Khushi.

*Nanne will feed him* Khushi said.

*Oh... I thought you...*
