AR Designs.

Arnav and Aman walked towards his office but Arnav still had that same worried look on his face.

Aman who knew Arnav was still feeling uneasy about the deal, Isha and her new found friendship with Isha was bothering him and he wanting to ease his worry had a background check on Isha again since he told him about their encounter at the restaurant three weeks ago.

This morning, it came out clean and void of any suspicion but Arnav was still worried and Aman took it as a sign of him being jealous.

"Arnav stop frowning and admit you are just jealous Khushi is getting along with Miss Kundra and she is having breakfast with her and not you. " Aman teased giggling but Arnav halt and glared at Aman who was taken aback seeing his anger.

"Aman I am not jealous of Khushi being friends with Isha Kundra and for so many reasons, one, Khushi seems happy being around her and she has been teaching her some of her secrets which will help Khushi be the best because she loves embroidery and Isha Kundra's company is the best when it come to embroidery designers......... Two our deal will catapult both our companies as an unbeatable forces in the fashion world........ Three, this will give us more designers through the competition and our workers will have double their monthly wages as bonuses and the profits for us will be a record in the company....... This will benefit all of us in the long run"

"Then why the hell do you seem uncertain about her and the deal. " Aman exclaimed angrily not understanding his best friend.

Arnav sighed rubbing his forehead to calm his nerves.

"I don't know Aman, I just have this feeling that Isha is not to be trusted and something big that will change our lives is about to happen. "

Aman pulled Arnav into a hug and he rereciprocated.

Aman broke the hug and tapped his shoulder with a smile of his face.

"I believe you, my friend but stop worrying and let's get back to work....... And you can always count on me to stand and fight with you when the time comes. "

Arnav smiled and nodded and they walked to his office.

They both entered but halted with their eyes widened in shock seeing Khushi setting on the couch crying.

Khushi lifted her head and saw Arnav and she sprinted out of the couch, run up to him and hugged.

"Kiki...... Baby what's wrong. " Arnav asked concerned while trying to pry her off but she tightened her grip on him while shaking her head and Arnav knew she needed his hug at the moment and reciprocated whispering comforting words to her.

Aman looked pissed seeing his baby sister crying and her mentally vowed to make the person responsible pay dear as he texted Payal to come to Arnav's office.

The Leela Palace.

Mohan stood silently in the suite as his godmother went of a rampage destroying everything in the suite.

He didn't stop her as he knew it would be of no use and Isha letting out her anger will be good for her no matter the way she is doing it.

A part of him felt she deserves it for what she said to Khushi and another part of him felt sorry because now Khushi will never be friendly with her like she was in the past weeks.

He was happy for Isha seeing how good the mother and daughter warmed up to each other after their stalking and intentional encounter with Arnav and Khushi at the restaurant.

They have became good friend due to their love for embroidery and Isha had not only invited Khushi to their warehouse, she has also revealed their secret factories where they get their materials from and Khushi was grateful for that until this morning when Isha invited Khushi to have breakfast with her.

Flashback.

Khushi arrived at the breakfast lounge of the Leela palace all smiles as she joined him and Isha.

The breakfast was going on perfectly until the call from Arnav turn the smile and admiration on her Isha's face for Khushi into anger but being an expert at covering up her emotions, she pretended to be okay especially since they could hear everything because she had placed it on loud speaker.

"Miss me already. " Khushi teasingly asked and Arnav scoffed playfully.

"No." Arnav replied but from the tone of his voice, they knew he was lying and Khushi started giggling.

"Don't worry hubby, I will make it up to you another day okay. "

"Okay...... Then bye and don't forget to let me know when you arrive, I want to discuss something with you. " Arnav said and Khushi replied she would before cutting the call with a smile on her face.

"He seems really controlling. " Isha accused and Khushi looked taken aback but smiled to cover up the awkwardness as Mohit shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

"He is not controlling but rather caring and an sorry if he came out as controlling. " Khushi defended but Isha scoffed and stop eating and she now had a serious look on her face.

"You are so blinded by your love for him you don't see his red flags. "

Khushi was beginning to get angry which was evident on her face and Mohit tried to stop Isha but she shut him down and turned to Khushi.

"Let's face it Khushi, you are the most beautiful and intelligent lady I have ever seen but a womanizer like him will never stay faithful to you for long........ Once the honeymoon phase of your so called marriage with him is done, he will cheat because it runs in his blood and once it runs in your blood, you can't run away from it. " Isha exclaimed arrogantly and nonchalantly

"What the hell do you mean by that and what do you know about Arnav and my marriage to judge him like that? " Khushi exclaimed angrily glaring at Isha who shook her head.

"I know a lot about you and him in ways you never imagined, do you think a man whose father was a notorious serial cheater who cheated on his wife and caused her to kill herself will ever have anything good coming out of his sperm....... Arnav is a child born out of selfish people, from his father to his selfish mother who took her own life all because a man cheated and left her children behind....... This sister is nothing but a pathetic excuse of a woman who wanted her cheater husband who was also obsessed with you to a extent that he tried to kill you father, his grandmother is a well known hypocrite, his aunt an illiterate gold digger who thinks dressing up and looking like a mannequin and a clown makes her high class, a cousin who is known abuser who abused his wife who is also your cousin....... His own uncle married a woman only because he got her pregnant and look how messed up their son is...... A man like that has no positive influence in his life when it comes to love and do you think he is capable of real love....... Wake up of this illusion my daughter before it's too late...... For a person who had the perfect parents for showing her what real love meant, you have a sad definition of what love is and what you deserve. "

Khushi looked disgusted by Isha's words but closed her eyes to calm herself down.

She opened her eyes and stared right into Isha's eyes and she was taken aback by the hatred in Khushi's eyes.

"Wow Miss Kundra, you really showed me the real you today, judgemental, hypocrite and a narcissist." Isha looked hurt by this but it turned to anger as Khushi continued. "Let me enlighten you about my husband's family, you are absolutely right about his father being a womanizer but you are wrong about Arnav because a man who knew how cheating destroyed his family will never do it to me the woman he loves and will always love and do you know why, he proves his love for me through his actions and words which the great ASR is not known for, yes in the beginning of our marriage, misunderstanding and miscommunication nearly ruined us but now we have learned from our mistakes and are better now more than ever which is something you will never understand........ It's also true Arnav's mother was a selfish woman for taking her own life and that too in front of her son which distorted Arnav's view on love but let's not forget how society is to be blamed for what my late mother in law did........ We have conditioned woman to always take blame for men's mistakes and she would have been blamed not only by society, but her hypocritical mother who care more about reputation than her own children....... She got betrayed by the man she loved and wanted to spend her entire life with and not all women are born the same and in her moment of weakness, she chose suicide but I will never judge her for it because she preferred death by her own hand than the one society would have placed on her........... In all this Arnav never let his sense of love and compassion leave him even when he tried to make everyone believe he is nothing but a heartless and ruthless man and I know because I saw how compassionate he was once. " khushi smiled lovely and narrated the incident between Arnav and the little girl at the temple with the pigeons which made Mohan smile but Isha rolled her eyes annoyed seeing her daughter defending Arnav and also praising him. "Yes, Arnav can be cold a lot of times and I have felt the chill of his coldness in some of the most unpleasant instances but he never failed to make things right and changed for the better, never again repeating them and that Miss Isha Kundra is what makes Arnav, my husband the best man in the whole world and if that means being delusional in his love then so be it. "

Khushi stood up and thanked her and Mohan for the breakfast and she was about to leave when Isha said this.

"Don't say I didn't warned you about Arnav but if he ever turns out the way I know he would, don't forget my arms will always be opened to you and my shoulder will be there to aly you head one. " Isha said arrogantly and Khushi chuckled and turned to her with a smile on her face.

"That will never happen and if it does, you are no body to me....... I will never cry on the shoulders of a narcissist like you who only think of themselves. " Khushi replied proudly pissing off Isha and she turned to Mohan. " You look like a good man and I will advise you to leave this greedy and evil woman before she ruins your life. "

Khushi walked away with her pride and self respect intact making Isha fume in anger.

Flashback ends.

Mohan walked up to his godmother and restrained her as he she cried hysterically vowing to destroy Arnav for turning her daughter against her.

"You brought this on yourself and now more than ever, I have decided who my loyalty will belong to and unfortunately for you, it belongs to Khushi and ASR....... You are so blinded in you hatred for his family to a extent that you have destroyed you relationship with your own daughter........ She dislikes you now, but she will hate you more if she finds out the truth....... Because no child will ever forgive their parents who try to sabotage their relationship........ And the only way to prevent you from spiralling and ruined your life more than you have, I have to pretend to be loyal and faithful to you but also make sure to ruin all of your plans without you noticing. " Mohit thought as she held on to his godmother.

For the next half hour, he held onto her and her tears have now been replaced by sniffs.

Isha's phone rang and Mohit looked worried seeing the doctor who was in charge of Ajay's treatment calling.

He received it and hit the loudspeaker button.

"Hello Miss Kundra....... I have great news for you. " Isha became alert hearing him. "Your husband is awake. "
