Part 16

AR

Arnav comes out of the conference hall with Aman and he got rooted in the same place seeing Khushi in front of him that too with YAN. Khushi waved her hand towards him and he nodded his head.

Khushi: Hi.

NK: Khushi, what are you doing here?

Khushi: we were just passing by, that's when YAN told me this is AR office.

Arnav(looking at YAN all frustrated): By the way where are you going?

Khushi( excitedly): Movie.( Aman was glancing at Arnav's clenching jaw)

YAN(grinning):Hi ASR. It's so long we had seen each other.(he mocked as they met yesterday at Hotel Purple Orchid)

Aman(teasingly): you should be happy for that.(khushi looked at Aman like "who is this")

YAN(teasingly): khushi did you know Ramayan?

Khushi(confusingly): Ramayan? Ya I watched it in TV.

YAN: He is Aman. Laxman of ASR. You know, Arnav himself might forgive us considering something, but this Aman? No way. We should cross Aman REKHA to reach Arnav. Very dangerous fellow.

Aman(irritatingly): See who introducing whom to whom. It's called fate.

Arnav: But whatever he told was true.

Aman(in warning tone): It will be better if you remember all your points. By the way, we are facing useless RAVANS these days.

YAN: Underestimating your opponent is not up to your standard Mr.Aman Mathur. who knows You yourself would give up on him one day.( he said smirking)

Aman himself can't tolerate his flaunt then it's unnecessary to say about Arnav's state. It's Khushi who is saving YAN unknowingly from these two. Or else this Ram and Laxman wouldn't have cared breaking his brain against the wall. No matter if he is really had TEN heads like Ravan. They distracted by Khushi...

Khushi: I'm impressed about you Amanji.( She forwarded her hand to Aman smilingly. He shook his hand with her after getting permission from Arnav by gesture)

Aman: ASR what about you join with khushi B....( he supposed to say bhabi NK pressed his shoulder)

Khushi: But I don't think ASR has time.

YAN: what do you called him? ASR? I can't believe it.(He giggled)

Khushi: But why?

YAN: Khushi you are the only one in the whole world who called ASR in a very extraordinary name.( he laughed)

Khushi: you know that? Tell me please.

YAN: Lard governor.( he laughed)

Khushi: Lard governor?( she burst out laughing while keeping her hand in her chest) Like really?

Arnav was looking at her, forgetting the world, as he is watching her like this, after a long time.

YAN: Just imagine, the mighty ASR who owned a Emperor in business world didn't mind your "Lard governor" then how much he would have loved you? Am I right ASR?( he asked smiling devilishly)

Nk(whispering in Arnav's ears who is looking at YAN with full of wrath): Actually what he is up to Naanav? Do you have any idea why he is doing like this?

Aman(who standing very close to them): He is thinking that he is Teasing ASR, Unaware of it that he is digging his own grave. (Nk chuckled on Aman's comment)

YAN: Khushi we are getting late.(khushi looked at Arnav like "what about you?")

Arnav: I will come.

YAN(Mockingly): Didn't I tell you, ASR will do anything for you?

NK(in Aman's ears): Aman what really he is? A snake or a rope?

Aman: Let it be anything. Why should we bother about a rope if we are ready to face a snake?

NK: yah you right.

Khushi: So you are joining with us?(Arnav nodded yes. Aman smiled at him like you carry on and I will handle here, they started towards the exit.)

NK: Do you think this YAN will return without any damage?

Aman(chuckled): Not exactly.

AR Parking lot.

Khushi(looking at Arnav): will you come in YAN's car or by yours?

YAN(smiling): I can bet, He will come with us only.

Arnav: Yah you are right.( He looked deeply in to YAN's eyes and took seat beside YAN and khushi took back seat.)

That's when YAN received a call from Shashi.

YAN(on call): Yes uncle. We are on the way. In just ten minutes. Yah. ohh oK uncle. Don't worry. Thank you.( he cut the call and looking at Khushi from the rearview mirror) Uncle and Aunty are going to attend some neighborhood function tonight. So he asked me to take you to dinner.( he looked at Arnav teasingly who was staring at him like he will make YAN as his dinner tonight.)

They reached the theater, they got corner seats. When khushi was about to enter into their row, Arnav stopped her by holding her hands and gesture YAN to go inside.

YAN(irritatingly in Arnav's ears): This is not fair ASR. I'm the one who got permission from Shashi uncle and you are making me a side character?

Arnav himself want to chuckle on it. He controlled and gave him a stern look which made YAN take the third seat. Arnav sat in between them with pride. When the Title flashed on the screen, YAN got a call.

YAN(on call): what??? When????ok I will be there.( He cut the call.) Guys I'm sorry. We should go. My friend met with an accident.

Arnav: He is your friend right? Then you can leave.( he said casualy)

YAN(hesitatingly): Khushi are you ok with it?

Arnav(gritting his teeth): She will be ok with me.

Khushi: Yes YAN. I will stay here with him. You carry on.

YAN: Ok. Please excuse me.(he walked off)

Khushi(joining her hands): Hey Devi Maiya please save his friend.(Arnav pleased with her prayer. Khushi is Khushi) Thank God you came. Or else total program would have collapsed. Arnav nodded yes. He wondered. YAN was correct. Poor guy, he got Permission for movie date and here he is enjoying it with Khushi is such an amusement.

Arnav had only one wish inwardly. Khushi should not ask anything about the movie. He doesn't even know who the actors of the movie are. Who cares? When he was watching a live emotion bundle in front of his eyes? All the time he is spending time in watching her expressions.

He messaged Aman to send the car.

When they came out of the theater he received Aman's message that He will be little late as he stuck in to traffic. He conveyed the same to Khushi.

Khushi: ohh no.

Arnav: ohh Yes.

Khushi: Let's go for a walk.

Arnav: Not bad. (He said with his arching eyebrows)

They came little away from crowd.

Khushi: why are you like this?

Arnav: Like what?

Khushi: Totally unlike from actually what I heard about you that we were gala friends. Amma told everything.

Arnav: Everything?

Khushi: Evvvvvrything.( she said spreading her hands in the air)

Arnav: Really? Then tell me what she told about us.

Khushi(smilingly): That, U R MY EVERYTHING.

Arnav(rooted for a second and nodded no): WE WERE EVERYTHING FOR EACH OTHER.( he said sternly looking in to her eyes)

Khushi(mockingly): OH Yah. And I heard you had beaten many more guys who teased me. And even you made someone bleed badly.

Arnav(controlling his smile): And the someone was none other than YAN.

Khushi: What? Really? But why?

Arnav: He wanted to be your friend. But you never had one except me. So he started irritating you. He dragged your hair and no time his mouth stared bleeding.(he said without any expression in his face)

Khushi: What was the connection between dragging my hair and his bleed?

Arnav: only one connection. If anyone dared to touch you and my fist will be on their face. ( he said with his lop sided smile)

Khushi(in unbelievable tone): Really? But babuji said we were best friends.

Arnav: May be he wants you to be friend with him.

Khushi: Not only that, he gave the reason as an excuse of my marriage.

Arnav(frowning): what was that?

Khushi: If I marry my friend then I will be happy even if I get my memory back.

Arnav looking at her dropping his jaw like "really?" and the next moment he burst out laughing while holding his stomach. khushi was watching him can't understand anything.

Arnav( controlling his laughter): He will be the first person who'll elope form the country if you get your memory back.

Khushi(biting her nail with confusion): why?

Arnav: To save his life what else? You will kill him without second opinion for lying to be your friend, forget marrying you. ( he again started laughing)

Khushi looking at his laughing figure, as she is seeing him laughing like this for very first time. Arnav sensed it and controlled his laugh.

Khushi: I wish we would have loved each other.

Arnav was stunned about her stance. He doesn't know how to react but gulping his emotions.

To be continued....
