Chapter 13 - I miss you Khushi.

Arnav kept trying Khushi's phone, but still there was no answer from the other side. Khushi's phone either came engaged or off. Arnav started to search around the whole of Mumbai for Khushi, but she wasn't anywhere in sight. It started raining heavily and Arnav was still searching harder than ever for Khushi, it was getting late and his Di constantly kept calling him because she got a bit too paranoid.

"Chotte?! Kahaan ho tum?" [Where are you Chotte?] Anjali was sobbing.
" Di i'm buying few things from the super market, i'll be there in 5 minutes. And don't worry, i'm fine."
"Ok Chotte, please hurry up."

And the phone call ended.

---

"Should I call Laad Gorverner...No no, that will be a big mistake, he probably forgot about me, thats Ok.." Khushi was frustrated with her mind and her self for taking on this decision all alone, with out even telling Buaji or her mother.
Khushi turned on the fixed in plasma Tv and started to watch her old time favourite cartoons, tom and jerry, she was still a kid at heart. But as she was watching it, it reminded her of her Laad Gorverner, she wants him to stay away, yet be close, but she couldn't risk his Di's happiness for her own. A little tear rolled down her cheek, but she wiped it away, she had to be strong, and she had to leave RM. She knew what a terrible person Shyam was and she didn't want another girls heart to break because of such a shallow human.

---

Arnav was staring at the stars by the pool side and started to miss his parents.
"Mom, Dad, if you can hear me, or see me, please keep Khushi safe, where ever she is, I-I-I miss her." Arnav's eyes started to become watery.
"I miss you Khushi." Arnav was just pleading to the sky to keep Khushi safe.

---

2 days had past with no Khushi around, Arnav got upset and concerned, he regretted listening to Khushi that night. "I should've dropped her off god dammit!" Arnav got angry at few points, but he knew that would be of no help.
It was Raksha Bandha, and everyone was called down.
Anjali tied a rakhi to Armav's wrist first, then Akash's. Since Shyam didn't have a sister, she asked for Khushi, but Arnav gave everyone the news that she went back to Lucknow, when he didn't know anything about her where abouts.

---

Khushi and Arnav both not feeling each others presence were having sleepless nights, Arnav would wake up hearing Khushi's scream or seeing an image of her fainting, and Khushi would see him shouting or kissing her, they both missed each other, Khushi refused to believe the fact that she was missing Arnav, but Arnav didn't, he would cry at the thought of Khushi disappearing that night. It was like a hole was punched through Khushi's chest and Arnav's. Their world was incomplete with out each other, but for now, they couldn't do anything about it, they just had tp carry on with their lives.
"I will find you Khushi, whether it takes days, weeks, months, years, I will find you and I won't stop until I do." Arnav vowed to himself that he will no matter what, get Khushi back.

Chapter 12 - Wheres Khushi?

The sun was starting to rise and Arnav was fast asleep. He didn't know what was going around him and who was around him, he was just lost in dreams. It was time for the early morning pooja which the two siblings do, Raksha Bandan was coming in 3 days and Anjali always loved to do this pooja 3 days before. 
"Di do we have to?" A tired Arnav asked kindly so he wouldn't hurt his Di.
"Haan Chotte, tum ko patta hai, hum haar saal karte hai ye, to puchne ki baath kya hai?" [Yes little brother, you know we do this every year, so whats there to ask?]
"Okay Di, lets start and get this over with." Anjali made a cute pouting face and said "Chotte tum bi na [Little brother, you even] Unbelievable just like Khushi ji." And then that struck Arnav, Khushi.
"Waise, Di, Khushi kahaan hai? [By the way Di, where is Khushi?]"
"I don't know Chotte, she's probably in her room fast asleep. she's not an early riser like you." Giggled Anjali.
"Ok Di."


---


The A siblings started their pooja. Anjali fed Arnav sugar free gulab jamun, and sugar free jalebi's, and smiled through the process, Arnav did anything for his Di's happiness, so this pooja was nothing compared to what he can do. 
"Chotte, may you live a long and happy life" Emphasized Anjali on the word long.
"Same to you Di." And they hugged each other.


---


The pooja got over and Arnav went to the guest room to check on Khushi. As he opened the door, he saw the bed empty. She must've gone out for a morning walk, Arnav kept telling him self that. He waited for an hour or two, still there was no Khushi. 
"Hari prakash! Tum ne Khushi ku kaaheen dekha hai?" [Hari prakash, have you seen Khushi any where?]
"Nahi Saap, Hum Khushi ji ku subha se kaaheen be nahi dekha hai" [So sir, I haven't seen Khushi ji since morning.]
"Okay Thankyou." Arnav started to get concerned.

"Dammit Khushi where are you?!" When he remembered about her going to the gym last night ; "Arnav ji, um I'm going to uh, the gym! yeah! the gym.."

"Shit! She probably didn't come back from last night! Dammit!" Arnav got worried, took his keys and head off to the usual gym he goes to.

Meanwhile

"What if Arnav ji found out about my plan? Or my apartment, or everything?!" Khushi kept wondering, she got scared at the thought of Arnavji worrying about her.

"Nahi nahi Khushi, woh laad gorverner ku kuch nahi hoyga, woh Arnav Singh Raizada hai, koi darpook nahi, shant rejha Khushi." [No No Khushi, Nothing will happen to that Laad Gorverner, He's Arnav Singh Raizada, not some scaredy cat, Calm down Khushi.] Khushi was having a self to self conversation.

Khushi entered her new building and then made her way to her new apartment, it was a huge well built two floored apartment with a surprisingly cheap rent. The floor was made of cold marble and It had two huge rooms down stairs and two huge rooms upstairs, Khushi was gobsmacked to realize that she was going to live a luxurious life despite leaving the Raizada Mansion.

"Wah Khushi, Kya baath hai! Acha ghar milgaya tujko!" [Amazing Khushi! What a great thing! You got a great house!] Khushi excitedly jumped onto her huge bed in her new room, she forgot about everything that happened in the past 2 weeks, she was the old bubbly Khushi again all excited in her new house.

---

"Khushi pick up the phone dammit!" Arnav constantly had Khushi's number on redial. He was driving rashly just to get to the gym. When he got to the gym, he asked the clubs receptionist.

"Excuse me, can I please sign in?"

"Sure sir." And he handed him the mens sign in book.

"Erm, can I check the Ladies sign in book please?"

"No sir, sorry, men can only read the mens check in book."

"I just want to know whether my, my uh wife came here at 3am, her name is Khushi Kumari Gupta, shes tall and fair..."

"No sir, we had no of such check in last night."

"Oh ok thankyou. Have a good day."

"Same to you sir." And Arnav sprint out of the club, back into his car to find Khushi's location. 

"Where could Khushi be...? Where are you Khushi Kumari Gupta, Where are you?"

Chapter 11 - I'm Sorry Arnavji.

Khushi was desperate to leave RM because of Shyam, so she decided to rent out a flat which she can go stay in for 4 - 5 months.

It was night and Khushi packed all her bags, and was about to leave RM when Arnav saw her.
"Khushi!"
Khushi froze in her footsteps.

"Where are you going at this time of night?" It was 3am.
"Uh..." Khushi stepped out of the door and started to walk as fast as she could.
"KHUSHI!" She knew Arnav got angry for walk out on him speaking to her.

"I'm - uh, me, uh." Khushi didn't have words to explain.
"Khushi tell me clearly dammit!" and he walked toward her and got hold of her delicate arms in his tight grip.
"Arnav ji, um I'm going to uh, the gym, yeah! the gym." Khushi answered back.
"What at this time of night? I'll take you, the gym's far off."
"Nai [No] Meh, khud jaoongee [I'll go by myself] I always go at this time, its ok, you go to sleep."

Arnav didn't want to leave Khushi at this time of night, but she insisted him to let her go.

"Arnav ji, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible..."

Arnav was worried about Khushi, but she assured him that everything would be fine.

Meanwhile


Shyam was sitting on his laptop and Anjali was fast asleep, he went to the pool side only to see Khushi and Arnav talking by the entrance, he got frustrated so he went to his room again.

Anjali woke up sad and curious.
"Shyam ji, are you hiding something from me?" Shyam knew he was, but he just decided to ignore that question and change the subject.
"From you?! Never rani saheba, don't you dare think I'm hiding something from you!" He replied innocently.
"Okay okay, I'm sorry, I was joking!" Anjali giggled and hugged him and then whispered -
"I can never doubt you!"

They both went to sleep despite Shyams mind being filled with his and Khushi's memories.

Back to Khushi and Arnav


Khushi was determined to leave RM now, she couldn't hurt anyone, especially Anjali seeing how happy she is with her married life.

Okay Khushi, lets do this, you can do this.
and she walked out of RM, faintly smiling back at Arnav, she knew this was the last time she'd be seeing Arnav, she thought he'd be happier without her, she had a little tear coming up, but she turned around and that was the last time she saw Arnav Singh Raizada. Khushi had no idea, that some one she's known for a month or two would have so much of an impact on her life.

she mumbled words under her breath.

"I'm sorry Arnav ji, I had to do this, see you in the future hopefully..." And Khushi went off to live a new life.

Chapter 10 - You are not leaving RM.

It had already been 2 days since Khushi and Arnav went on their first date, which they just called a gathering.

Khushi was looking at the stars, she was just missing her mother and father.
"Amma, Papa, I miss you so much...Please just come back.." Khushi started crying knowing this will never happen.

Across her room was Arnav's. His balcony windows were tinted, Khushi's were too, but she opened her balcony window and sat out, which is exactly how, Arnav was able to see her crying.
Arnav stepped out, but Khushi didn't notice.

"Amma, Papa, why did you leave me? Was I not a good enough daughter? Do you know how alone I feel in this world with out you two?" Khushi literally broke down into her lap.

Arnav's eye's started to water as well, One because he couldn't see Khushi like this, Two, because he knew how she felt.
"You're not alone Khushi. You never will be, and Khushi, don't you ever think you're not good enough." Arnav said under his breath. Khushi was still emotionless after what had happened to her 2 days ago. She couldn't forget what happened, she had more than a week of sleepless nights. She would scream at the thought of what could've happened if Arnav ji wasn't there. 

Khushi once more after a week, again sat outside star gazing and crying, Arnav couldn't see her like this so he just went out next to the pool, and quietly sat next to her.
"Ar-arnav ji, a-ap?" Khushi stuttered quickly wiping away her tears.
"Khushi..."
"Arnav ji, I know...I have to go, I have to leave RM, and I will soon, don't worry, I've caused enough trouble anyway.." Staring at his knuckles which were covered in a white bandage marked with blood stains because one of the goons had stabbed his hand and also hurt his knuckles very badly.

The thought of Khushi leaving Arnav haunted him, she left the job and if she leaves the house, they'll have no connection.

"Khushi no. You haven't I was going to say, its okay. You'll be fine. And you're staying here okay?"
"But."
"No but(s) Khushi, I won't let you leave in this state." Arnav looked behind her and saw her bag was packed, so he got up and unpacked it.
"Arn-"
"Khushi, you're staying here and thats final."
"You are not leaving the Raizada Mansion. Heard me?" Arnav told Khushi calmly yet demandingly.
"Oh-oh-kay..." Khushi went into her room and sat on the bed, Arnav went with her to comfort her, he saw Khushi practically crying herself to sleep, but he didn't want her to cry herself to sleep, so instead he sat beside her and stroked her hair, and in a matter of 5 minutes, she slept.

Shyam was still silently watching them, he knew he had no chance of getting Khushi again, but he couldn't even see her with his own brother in law, he put Khushi's life to risk by calling those 4 guys just so Arnav could get killed.

Luckily, Arnav didn't. Shyam was getting jealous at the view of Arnav comforting Khushi. He tried to forget about Khushi, fortunately he could at few points in life. But if he saw her, he would go into his evil schemes again.

Shyam was mentally ill after Khushi left him, since Anjali took care of him, and gave him medicines, despite her not knowing the reason behind this illness. Shyam would always look forward to seeing Anjali after the incident, but now that Arnav and Khushi are together in a way, he just couldn't stand it. He didn't love Khushi anymore, he just wanted to get revenge.

Chapter 9 - Anjali introduces Shyam to Khushi.

Khushi and Arnav reached the restaurant, Khushi was the only one in a bright red Saree, while everyone was wearing a black or white or green one, she was the one girl who stood out the most. At home she was a clumsy crazy girl, but outside, she was well mannered and had more etiquette than anyone could ever have. Khushi was holding a red and black striped bag, it was a birthday gift from her 'Raj' but ofcourse, she knew there was no such person as Raj, she bought that bag herself.

As soon as Arnav and Khushi were sat down. Khushi immediately started playing with her thumbs, she had no one to text or anything, but she was just nervous, because her boss which kissed her few hours ago had taken her out, for no reason, whatsoever. As she was feeling nervous, a big gush of wind blew towards Khushi's back, and blew her Saree right out of her shoulder, everyone started staring at her, especially the men.
"Hum-hum, toilet. I'll be back" Khushi was scared to even walk towards the toilet alone. Because just as she got up, a man got up too, Arnav saw and immediately stood infront of the whole crowd, and started to put Khushi's Saree, back on her shoulder, luckily Khushi's purse had a silver safety pin which Arnav took out just to pin her Saree to her blouse.
"Shukriya." Said Khushi and Arnav made her sit back down.

Arnav and Khushi started eating and talking about the job and the project, they pretended to forget about the kiss even though they knew they can never forget their first kiss.

Anjali and Shyam entered the restaurant and they saw Arnav and Khushi sitting 3 rows of tables infront of them. Shyam twitched. But Anjali dragged him along to Arnav so he could be introduced to Khushi.

"Ello Shyam ji! This is Arnav's fian-" Anjali cut off when Arnav made an awkward face at her.
"I mean new employee! Khushiji!" giggled Anjali.
"Namaste.." Khushi said calmly.

She saw Shyam's face twitch, and she immediately turned away to ignore him.

"Er one second, I need to go make a phone call to Raj. I'll be back Sir." Khushi told Arnav which made him furious, but he let her go anyway.

She stepped out side of the restaurant and started to cry. She knew Shyam, she knew him. He wanted to marry her, but she rejected him once she found out he was in another relationship of some sort, so she always avoided him whenever she could. A minute after Khushi stepped out, 4 men were walking towards her.
"Give me your money!" The tallest one said.
"Hey lets not rob a pretty girl? Lets do something else to this cutie" All of them stepped forward towards Khushi.
"Ey, stay away from me! You disgusting men, get away!" They were drunk, one of them came next to Khushi and started to put their hand around her waist.
"Leave me alone!" They were about to make her saree fall off until a hand grabbed 3 of them from the back.
Arnav. He came to Khushi to check on her. The one guy touching Khushi was the one who got Arnav angry the most. He only targeted the one who was holding Khushi's waist, he punched him harder than ever, he got very angry. Khushi ran away to Arnav's car cause one of the men were chasing her, Arnav saw him and ran after him and rugby tackled him.
"How" Every punch he spoke.
"Dare!" Punch.
"YOU!" Punch.
He punched the day lights out these guys.
"Arnav ji!" That was the first time ever Khushi had called him Arnav ji.
She started to sob, and Arnav went to her to comfort her.
"Its ok, Khushi there gone, its alright." Arnav was touching her hair with bloody knuckles.

"App! App kei haath?! Yours knuckles, Arnav ji!? Are you ok?!" Khushi was tearing and Arnav couldn't bare that, so he just pulled her into a huge bear hug while Shyam silently watched them.

Chapter 8 - Lets go out.

Another week had passed since Arnav nearly kissed Khushi, he wasn't going to give up any time soon. Arnav in these 3 weeks of knowing Khushi had completely changed him into a completely different Arnav.

He wouldn't eat if he hurt Khushi in anyway, he wouldn't speak to his sister if he thought of her, he just wasn't the same Chotte his Di could call him for.

"Chotte!" Come here quickly!"
"Ok Di." Replied Arnav firmly.

Arnav went downstairs to the family and everyone was looking at him curiously, and some what mockingly as if they were hiding some sinister secret to laugh about, but he knew that wasn't the case, the case was that everyone realized Arnav has changed ever since he met Khushi. Just in 3 weeks, and somuch of change.

Khushi was showering while everyone called Arnav. They were discussing about him and Khushi, which also involved marriage.

"Naniji, me and Khushi? No...Naniji i've just known her for 3 week-"
"So what? Get to know her until you're prepared Arnav bitwa."
"Yes Yes Arnav bitwa PALEEEEEEJ get to know this chamkili, other wise me no accept her as a bahu." Mamiji said in a mean tone of voice, she didn't like Khushi from day one.

Arnav just listened and agreed.

Later on in the evening.

"I have to get to know her more...What am I going to do...?" thought Arnav. Khushi walked into his room to ask him about his files, but he thought it was one of the house boys and shouted harshly get out! Khushi thinking Arnav was shouting at her left the room sad. Arnav caught a glimpse of her dupatta.

"Oh shit! that wasn't HP, that was Khushi!" whispered Arnav and ran after Khushi to her room.

"KHUSHI!" Khushi froze right in her foot steps.
"Je-ee Sir..?"
"Will you go out with me for dinner tonight?"
"Uh-h, ye.." Hesitated Khushi.
"Sure."
"Ok Khushi, be ready at 7, and be next to the car by 7:30 to 7:45."
"Je-ee" Khushi was excited from the inside, but from the outside she had to keep her guards up, because like her last date, she didn't want things to mess up and hurt her all over again.
For a change Khushi saw hope in Arnav Singh Raizada, that he will change.

Meanwhile

It had become 6:00 and Shyam started to get ready, he was going to the same restaurant as Arnav and Khushi were, he knew Arnav and Khushi were going to the same restaurant, because he over heard their conversation the moment he came back from works, he started to think about Khushi more often and always kept himself away from Anjali.

"Arrey aap?!" Anjali joyfully squealed.
"When did you get back from work? Aur ab ap kahaan jarrey hai?" Asked Anjali sad and curiously.

"Rani Saheba, I came back an hour ago, and I'm going to a restaurant, would you like to go?"
"Oh ok! thankyou Shyamji I'll get ready very soon!"

Arnav and Khushi both got ready, Arnav was the first to get ready, so he waited for Khushi by the car.

Khushi walked right infront of Arnav wearing a red Saree beaded with red studs of all sizes and a half sleeves blouse which had a little pom pom hung to it.
"Wow. She looks gorgeous." Thought Arnav to himself. He loved the colour red, he once again found himself instantly attracted to Ms Khushi Kumari Gupta soon to be Ms Raizada.

"Imagine Khushi, my wife, my beautiful Raizada wife." Arnav talked to him self.
Khushi snapped him back to reality and they sat in the car and went to the restaurant, Shyam and Anjali were going to go in a matter of 10 minutes as well.

Chapter 7 - Lying love.

"Now what to do..? That laad gorvernor found out about my boyfriend, which I don't even freaking have!...I just hope I don't mess up just like my old sanka devi tricks do..." Nervously spoke Khushi to herself.

"Hi devi mayya raksha karna." Khushi said repeatedly. Arnav walked in also having something up his sleeve.
"Haan, hello Raju Baby! How is my cuchibear?" Khushi pretended to talk on the phone, when really she wasn't even talking to any Raj. Arnav became furious and immediately snatched Khushi's phone away and threw it on the floor."

"Kya?! What the?!" Khushi covered her mouth as she instantly said those 2 words. What. The. Arnav gave a smirk.

"Wh-hy are you laughing.." Khushi started to breath heavily.
"Why do you look so scared?" Arnav asked Khushi in a sarcastic manner, when he completely knew why she was breathing so heavily, it was because her heart beat was racing because he was walking towards her. Who knew Arnav Singh Raizada would become Mr Flirty Raizada.

"Toh...tell me Ms. Khushi Kumari Gupta, why were you all flushed the moment I started walking towards you? And also why are you walking backwards..?" Arnav asked still walking towards her.
"Meh, uh-uh woh, bus waiseech! Problem Mr Arnav Singh Raizada?"
"No, just asking..." And this time Arnav had successfully pinned Khushi against the wall. 
"Aa-aa-ap aisa nahi karsakte.."
"Kyun nahi?" Asked Arnav as he was swiftly making his first move ever on a girl he actually liked. 


Arnav got closer and Khushi got shyer and blushed way more than she usually does. Arnav was just 3 inches away from Khushi's lips. Those non-moving, nervous, lips always got Arnav into a certain mood which only he knew about. 


But just before he could kiss her, Khushi pushed him back. 


"What are you doing?!" Khushi asked nervously in the poshest accent she could come up with. 
"I don't know, what am I doing?" Arnav replied sarcastically.
"You're, you'-r-re trying to ki-i-i." stuttered Khushi.
"Ki-i-i" Arnav imitated.
"You're trying to kiss me!? Hello, Mr ASR have you forgotten than I have a boyfriend and you, well you can get any girl you want! So stop trying to scare me or-r or-r hurt me, because I have a boyfriend and this is just wrong!" 


Khushi just spoke all lies, but she had to do something or Arnav would know what she felt about him just by looking into her eyes, everyone is able to detect a lie from Khushi just by looking at her eyes. Before Arnav could figure out, Khushi quickly tried walking away, but Arnav grabbed her, and pinned her to the wall once again.


This was Arnav's second attempt to kiss Khushi, and he wasn't going to let go of her easily.
Arnav moved closer, and closer. Khushi once again felt her heart beat racing. dhak dhak dhak...Arnav knew Khushi wanted to kiss him too. Just 3 weeks in knowing Khushi, and he already wanted to kiss her. 


Arnav finally got the kiss he was waiting for. Khushi and Arnav's lips touched, no one was there to destroy the moment, Khushi's heartbeat went faster and faster like a rocket just dying to go in to space. There was no air, Arnav had his hands cupped around her face and she pulled on his collar like a baby would if she wanted something, Khushi lost sense about everything, she was just focusing on that kiss. Arnav carried Khushi and put her on the bed, she sprained her ankle but she forgot about that too. This was the longest and most delicate kiss Khushi had in 3 years! She missed a kiss like this, romantic yet so fierce, and also so passionate, their tongues were about to meet until Khushi broke away the kiss, but Arnav still had his grip on her, around her waist.


"Let me go!" Khushi was trying to fight her way out.
"No, not until I speak to your so-called Raj." Arnav said in his flirty voice.
"WHAT?! So-called?! You think I'm pretending Mr Arnav Singh Raizada?!" 
"Yes, now let me speak to him." Khushi finally got free of his grip.
"NO! Its my life! Why do you want to butt into my personal life! I'm going to go back to lucknow!" A angry Khushi blurted out. But she knew deep inside that what she was saying was not true, she doesn't have a boyfriend, and she does love Arnav.


Khushi walked away and Arnav was just staring at the wall, his love, his passion all went away, red anger in his eyes. No matter how much he would fail, he promised himself, he would get those feelings out.

Chapter 6 - A week already.

Right after everyone ate, Khushi went first to the guest room in her suit, once again she fainted on her bed, so when she woke up, she changed into her night gown - she had to go to the doctor she thought to herself. But she didn't, instead she just slept for rest. Arnav didn't force her to go to her job for a whole week, because of how ill she had become, finally Arnav got back home from his work on the 3rd day of knowing Khushi, and overheard a phone conversation between her and someone else. He ignored that, after 3 days he heard Khushi talking to someone again, probably the same person as so he did the next day, he heard lovey dovey words which angered him, so he just kept listening.

"Hello babyy! Kaise hai tum? Mai app ku itna yaad kari thi, kaash mai akey mil pa sakthi, liken yeh nayi naukri.." Arnav's face froze. He heard a faint voice of a man he didn't know, he got angry and barged into Khushi's room.

"Hah, uhh baby, hum app ku badme pone karte hai." Arnav was loosing his patience, so before he could snatch away her phone Khushi realized, and immediately cut the call.

"Ji-ji-sir-r- app...?"
"Haan main mrs Khushi Kumari Gupta Sing-" Khushi's eye's widened to what Arnav was about to blurt out.
"Kya?!"
"I mean uh, You Khushi Kumari Gupta, Singing all night kept me awake."
"Uhh theek hai...app, app yahan kyun aye?"
"Who was on the phone?" Asked Arnav walking towards Khushi.
"Koi Nahi, ap se kya lena dena hai mere pone call se?"
"Lena dena hai, khon tha?"
"Hamara..." Khushi was thinking of an answer.
"Hamara....." Arnav was waiting impatiently for the answer until Khushi could think of nothing and just gave in.
"Hamara bo-boyfr-riend." Replied Khushi to a Red Faced Arnav.
Arnav just stood their, staring, in pain.
"Kya? Khushi tumne socha bi nahi muje bolne keliye?"
"Main app ku kyun bolo?" Replied Khushi.
"Kyunki main tumse-!" Arnav held Khushi's shoulder tight and was about to blurt out something she didn't expect at all.

Meanwhile...


 Shyam and Anjali were in their bedroom watching TV. 
"Hum itne naseeb walleh hai, jo app kai jaisa pati milgaya!" Said Anjali Joyfully. She was very dependant on her husband.
"Aur hum, hum walleh kum nahi, kyunki hum ko ek rani saheba milgaye hai!" Said Shyam hugging Anjali.
Shyam and Anjali had a love marriage, but no one knew, this marriage was going to go down hill in a matter of months, or lets say days.

Arnav was devastated about the news Khushi gave him. So him being Arnav Singh Raizada, came up with something, to get Khushi's feelings for him out, he somewhere deep inside knew Khushi was lying, but to prove it, he had to do something.

Chapter 5 - Khushi's Stories.

Nani ji and everyone were sat on to the table, but Shyam had left because he had some 'unfinished work' with one of his clients.
Naniji as being the head of the house started the conversations.
"Toh Khushi Betiya, humko bataye, app pehle kya karat ra he thei?
"Um, ji woh um.."
"Naniji bulawat ho betiya"
"Haaan, Naniji, hum pehle koi kam nahi kareh.."

When Arnav joined in.

"Naniji Khushi's first job is at AR designs."
"Achaaa! betiya, toh kaisa laga?"

Khushi looked at Arnav like she was afraid that he might shoot her on the spot, and just replied -
"Naniji, acha hai...liken..."

Arnav was halfway between his bite when he looked at Khushi worriedly.

"liken?"
"Haha Naniji liken kuch nahi, bohot achi naukri hai!" said Khushi confidently causing Arnav to swallow his bite in comfort.

Everyone kept questioning Khushi about her life and what she use to do, her birthday and other general things. Naniji also asked her about her parents and where there from which brought Khushi to tears.

"I don't have any parents...they died in a car accident when I was 7 years old. I thought they were going to come back, but ofcourse death doesn't let anyone come back, but my mama's aunty took me in, i call her buaji, and I have a cousin named Payal, but we treat each other like birth sisters, I miss my parents still, my mom was beautiful and my dad was a very smart ma-"

Arnav didn't know Khushi could speak fluent English but he was still concentrating on her story.

"Explains how beautiful you are." Arnav said under his breath, and everyone stared at him in shock and asked him what he just said, but he ignored them and just pushed away their questions.

"So as I was saying, he was a smart man, they both were coming back home from a marriage, and just..." Khushi's eye's welled with tears so Naniji just told her to take a rest and didn't force her on continuing on where she left off.

Arnav was sad upon hearing Khushi's life story, he didn't know she was an orphan, what annoyed him even more was the things he said yesterday with out even knowing what she's been through, because just like her, Arnav lost his parents long time ago too. Khushi and Arnav stared at each other sadly and just ate their food.

"I'm sorry Khushi I said that..." Arnav said to himself in his mind. He felt like he knew Khushi for years because of her stories, but he only knew her for a day and a half. 

Chapter 4 - Whats going on?

It was 7am morning and Arnav had woken up, he forgot Khushi was staying in his house and barged into the guest room where all his office work was kept. Khushi was still fast asleep.
Khushi had a habit to roll around in bed causing which ever bed she slept on to squeak. She rolled to her right and Arnav heard the squeak just as he was about to take his briefcase out of the cupboard.
"What th-" whispered Arnav to see who was around him.
Khushi's head was covered with her duvet so Arnav still got confused, Khushi rolled around some more.
"What the...Yeh awaaz..?"
Arnav started to investigate what was going on, he still had no idea.
Squeak after squeak after squeak Arnav got closer to the source of the sound, until Khushi completely took her blanket off.
"What th-" Arnav cut of in mid sentence because Khushi rolled toomuch onto her left side and was about to fall from the bed, until he caught her while she was fast asleep.
Arnav stared at her for minutes together, he examined each feature of her face, her closed eyes, her rose pink arched lips, her cute nose, her hair when it was out of a plait, he examined every feature and wondered to him self.
"wow, what a beautiful girl..."
Khushi was going to wake up, Arnav completely forgot about work and put Khushi to bed again, but ofcourse, he remembered she was a part of his job too now, but he looked at that angelic face and decided
not to wake such beauty up.

"Chotte!" called out Anjali.
"Yes Di!" replied Arnav.

"Come quick! look who's back from their business trip!" cheered Anjali joyfully

Arnav thought it would be Akash, his little brother, but it wasn't, it was his brother-in-law - Shyam Manohar Jha.

"Oh good morning Jija ji, welcome home!"
"Thankyou Saleh sab! good morning to you too!"

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Every one heard a scream coming from the guest room, Arnav ran straight to it with everyone following.

"Khushi!"
"Sir app!" The whole family was staring at Khushi standing on the bed in her night dress pointing at a cockroach. Shyam came last to the room and saw Khushi, but Khushi didn't see him.
"Si-si- caackroach! humay maaf kardiye agar humney kisi ko utaya..." apologized Khushi.

Everyone went to the dining table for breakfast except Khushi, she thought she embarrassed herself toomuch already. Shyam and Arnav both were thinking about Khushi.

Shyam thought about Khushi's voice and hair.
while Arnav thought about her beauty and her humor.

Khushi came to the table when Shyam left to his room in her office suit and blazer, she looked like a business woman, and looked beautiful.
Arnav was gobsmacked by Khushi's appearance, and Khushi asked him like he was her little brother "Kya hua? Whats going on?" and sat down on the empty seat next to him.

Chapter 3 - No way.

"You think is a joke Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta? I know you've played these cheap jokes on people before because of your class, but you cannot do that with me, Arnav Singh Raizada, I donot accept crap from people especially like you, so don't you dare threaten me that you will leave this job, because if you do, I'll make sure you have no where to live with no job." Arnav threatened Khushi.

Khushi's eyes welled up with tears and just broke down, wondering how a man like him, who five minutes ago took care of her, became so rude instantly.

"MEH YEH NAUKRI CHOR DUNGI Mr. ARNAV SINGH RAIZ-." Threatened Khushi weakly. She was going to faint again.

Arnav driving, again got all worried, he regretted his words, he's never regretted anything before.
"Damn it." Arnav said regrettingly. "Why did I say that."

---

He stopped the car few minutes away from Shantivan and looked at Khushi so he could take care of her, she needed water, she was de-hydrating and she was starting to get a fever. Its been a day he met this girl, and he was already killing from inside to more about her.

Khushi woke up with a shock and screamed while Arnav got shocked and worried more.
"Kya Hua?!"
"Ku-ku-kuch bi nahi, sardi lagri hai.."
So Arnav turned down the AC and continued driving, he reached home and gave Khushi the guest room, his sister Anjali came along and introduced herself too, Khushi couldn't believe that Anjali Jha was the sister of Arnav Singh Raizada, because of how sweet and helpful she was.

---

Everyone told Khushi to make her self at home while Manorama, Arnav's Mamiji, was busy in doing heavy make up on her face, Khushi was about to sleep, it was 9:30 pm until Arnav barged in.

Arnav felt like he never saw something as beautiful as Khushi in her night dress.
"Sir app!?"
"Haan main, blanket hai tumare pas?"
"J-ji haan.."
"Theek hai ab sojao, kal jaldi utna hai."
"Ac-acha sir. Good-niiight" Khushi exaggerated on the I which cause Arnav to stare at her as if shes weird.
"I mean, good night sir."

---

Arnav left the room and Khushi was alone again. Now that they both were alone, they both were thinking about each other. They both felt an instant attraction to each other, which was weird because Khushi never liked any so called Laad Gorvernor but this one, this one man she only knew for 15 hours was going to change her life in the coming weeks, she knew that and so did Arnav.

Arnav thought about waking her up and apologizing to her, but he thought she was alseep, so he just ignored that feeling again, and went to bed thinking about her, thinking about the not so special moments, which ofcourse became special to him which happened all with in the 15 hours of knowing her.

Them both thinking about each other kept them awake, Khushi slept at 3 am and so did Arnav. They both were going to have to fight their selves to wake up in the morning, just cause of thinking of each other.

Arnav thinking about what Khushi said she'll leave the job made him said 2 words strongly in his thought process - NO WAY is Khushi Kumari Gupta leaving this job.

Chapter 2 - Arnav's feelings.

No matter how much the great Arnav Singh Raizada tried to ignore his feelings for Khushi, they always came back.
"Shes just a new co-worker, why am I becoming all weak when I think of her?" questions Arnav to himself and got back to work.
It was lunch time and Arnav and Khushi were starving,
Khushi didn't know where the canteen was so she went around trying to ask people, but they were already gone.
she was starving, she didn't have her breakfast or dinner from last night because she was so nervous of this job.
"hi devi mayya raksha k-..." Slowly everything was turning black.
"hi devi-..." and Khushi's eye's closed, her hand to her head, and she was going to fall. Until a hand grabbed her.
"Khushi! Khushi! Wake up! Uto Khushi! Get up!" screamed Arnav eagerly.
He's never done such a thing for anyone before, why for Khushi he wondered to himself and so did the other co-workers.
"Somebody get me a damn glass of water! right away please!"

---

Arnav quickly threw water droplets over Khushi's pale face.
"Buaji..app..?" Said Khushi confusingly.

Arnav was glad to see Khushi was okay.
So he lifted her and took her to the canteen to eat, Khushi didn't expect this at all because of what she heard.
She order 1 masala dosa and many jalebi's from the indian cuisine, while Arnav stared at her eat from the corner of his eye.

Everyone finished eating and went back to their offices, Arnav being the business tycoon he is decided to do more work, but the thought of Khushi fainting scared him, so he let her off early, and everyone knows Arnav does not let any one leave early.

---

"I'll drop you off Khushi, you need rest, where do you live?"
"Nahi, hum theek ha-" Arnav cut her off.
"Where do you live?"
"Right now I'm living in the movenpick hote-"
"What?! You're living in a hotel?! all alone?! No, you'll come live in Shantivan with me and my family, They'll take care for you until you find a place to live for good."
"Bu-"
"No but's you're going home with me."

And Arnav drove off with Khushi to the Raizada Mansion, all this concern coming from Arnav was worrying her, she didn't know what was going to hit her.

---

While Arnav was driving, he braked the car so hard, that Khushi bashed her bangles onto the front, and a bit of her arm started to bleed.

"WHAT THE?! CAN'T YOU BE CAREFUL?! NO I DON'T THINK SO, THATS EXACTLY WHY YOU FAINTED IN THE OFFICE ON YOUR FIRST DAY?! I DON'T ACCEPT THINGS LIKE THAT KHUSHI KUMARI GUPT-"
"THEN WHY DID YOU HELP ME OR ARE TAKING ME TO YOUR HOUSE!?"

Arnav made one of his angry faces and kept driving, he ignored the last thing Khushi had said.

"Kya hua? itna chup kyun hogaye Mr Arnav Singh Raizada. App ka kam rulana hai yah kam karana hai? Sochileye, kyunki hum ye naukri chodey re hai."

Arnav let all hell loose right on the spot.

Chapter 1 - What the.

It was 3 am when Arnav Singh Raizada woke up, the only man of the house who constantly cared only about his work or sometimes about his sister Anjali Jha. The fact that he knew the coming hours were going to be tough didnt let him sleep well, he had 3 meetings and on top of that he was going to have to introduce himself to a new co-worker who was hired in advanced for a certain job at AR designs. "Another day, something different for a change, might be a good day, i hope." whispered ASR tiredly and went back to sleep.

---

It was morning and Arnav started to get dressed in his off-white shirt and black coat, he was always an early riser on his work days, never did he miss one day of work, not even if he was ill, a true business tycoon. 
"Di i'm heading off to the office, see you in few hours" 
"chotte! What about breakfast?" 
"Di im getting late, i'll be back for lunch, you know that." 
"Ok chotte, go! Oh and please be easy on the new co-worker you were talking about, otherwise like your last one, she might leave too." gigged Anjali. 
"Ok Di, i will, bye!" 


---


Arnav shot out of the door into his car and drove the fastest speed his car could go on. Arnav never ever disobeyed his Di, but what he didn't know was, today was the day, he did. 
AR designs was coming up on the right of the road, a huge building probably having up to 35 floors filled with office workers, Arnavs office was on the 15th floor - where the big offices were. 
Without any hesitation Arnav walked in, and everyone the moment they saw him, got up and wished him good morning, they were scared of Arnav Singh Raizada. Lavanya, who knew Arnav too well since she is Arnavs ex-girl friend got him files and documents of the new co-worker. 


Name: Khushi Kumari Gupta. 
City: Lucknow. 
Reason to come to Delhi: to find a jobs.
Previous jobs: None. 


"Where is she?" Asked Arnav. 
"Shes waiting in your office for you, go quick." 
"Ok thanks Lavanya, by the way make sure the colourful designs go with dark shades too." And Arnav left to meet with his new co-worker miss Khushi Kumari Gupta. 


---


"hi devi mayya raksha karna, hi devi mayya raksha karna" Khushi whispered to herself, those words always helped her when she was scared, and she was very scared of the boss due to all the things that were heard about him, but she was a fun loving bubbly girl, so she didnt let that get her down. 
Arnav went in, and Khushi and him finally met. 
"So you're miss Khushi Kumari Gupta..?" asked Arnav awkwardly. 
"Ji, hum he hai Khushi Kumari Gupta! Aur app?" Asked Khushi excitedly. Little did she know she was talking to the boss. 
"Excuse me?" 
"Kya excuse me? Boss kahaan hai, hum yahan kam kiliye aye, app sey pagal batha nahi karne kiliye." 
"what the f-" 
"Yeh bakwas ke bathey maat kariye, boss ku layeh." 
"I am the boss miss Khushi Kumari Gupta." 


And Khushis eyes popped right out. 
"hi devi mayya raksha karna.." Khushi was shouting at herself from inside... 
"hummey maaf kardiye, humku nahi maloom tha..." 
"theek hai, liken ainda sey maat karo. Now get to work, NOW." 
Khushi quickly got down to work, she felt embarassed that her first meeting with her boss went so roughly, she immediately thought to herself, this might be a hard job to get use to. 


---


Arnav thought about Khushi - he felt an instant attraction to her, whether he hates people like that or no, he felt something for Khushi, but he refused to believe anything about feelings for someone he's just met, after all, you can't judge the book by its cover when you didn't even read the book. 
Khushi knocked on Arnavs door, and he told her to come in, she was so not ready to talk to the boss face to face again. 
"um sir...humko kya karna hai..?" Arnav saw her and he got a little bit annoyed but he told her she had to go on the 33rd floor and get him a document which is listed as confidential. Without saying anything she started to listen to her boss. Arnav and Khushi both knew that Arnav was going to make her life a living hell as long as shes in this office. 


---


She bought the files and Arnav told her to get out. Khushi wasn't use to tough and rude behavior, so instead she shut the door and nick named her new boss.
"Yeh laad governer soch ta kya hai? Ki hum kam karke thak jayenge? Hargis nahi! Hum, hum Khushi Kumari Gupta hai, humku koi be aur kuch bi nahi thaka ta hai!" Proudly said Khushi to herself and walked of to her office.

Arnav's mind was filled with Khushi's face even though they knew each other for 30 minutes..
"What the. Whats wrong with me, Why am I feeling like this..?" Questioned Arnav to himself, but once again, he ignored the feeling.
