36 She likes him
Part 36 She likes him
Khushi came to GH disappointedly as she couldn't talk to her BOSS. When she entered GH, her weariness flew away. She became excited seeing her sister Arpita in GH who was with her nine-month baby bump. She rushed to her and hugged.
"Arrey, Slowly..." Garima warned her.
"What a surprise Jeeji..." Khushi shouted.
"Surprise? What will you do if I give you more surprises?" Arpita winked at her.
"More surprise? What's that?"
"She is going to stay with us," Garima said happily.
"Really?" Khushi hopped excitedly.
Vijay nodded yes.
"My husband knows my wish. He smelled that I want to eat Amma's hand made food. So he brought me here." there was pride on Arpita's face.
"That's so sweet of you, Jeejaji"
She smiled at Arpita's husband Vijay who was sitting next to Arpita. He extended a sweet box towards Khushi.
"I said you are sweet, doesn't mean you should prove it by giving sweets" She teased.
"There is a reason for the sweets, Khushi," Arpita said.
"Anything special?" Khushi took the box while asking.
"He got a promotion, Khushi. His salary became double" Arpita said proudly.
Khushi kept the box on the tea table and folded her hands.
"This is cheating. I won't accept it. I want a treat." She demanded.
"Sure, Khushi. I will definitely give you a grand treat if this promotion becomes permanent" Vijay said sighing.
"What do you mean? Haven't you got promoted yet?" she asked frowning.
Vijay nodded NO.
"Are you celebrating it before itself?" Khushi wondered.
"I hope I will get promoted"
"All the best" Khushi wished.
But, she couldn't understand one thing, why Vijay is celebrating the promotion which is not confirmed yet? What so urgent? She couldn't take it simply. She got fresh and came out. She saw Vijay sitting in the living room alone.
"Where is Jeeji?" She questioned him.
"With Amma, in the Kitchen." He replied.
Khushi was about to go to the kitchen, Viyaj stopped her.
"One minute, Khushi."
"Tell me, Jeejaji"
"I want to talk to you."
"Yeah..."
"About my promotion."
Khushi looked at him astonished.
"About your promotion?"
"It's only in your hands, Khushi"
"Whaaaat! What would I do?"
"You won't do anything but ASR," he said hesitatingly.
Khushi's face became horrible.
"Because of him I got promoted. It's in your hand whether I will continue in it or not."
"But what he does with your promotion?"
"He is one of the directors of our company now. He brought almost forty percent of shares of our company worth Rs. Thirty-two crores."
Khushi looked at him shockingly. It was not hard to understand what Vijay is talking about. Arnav Singh Raizada is showing his POWER.
"Not only that...I can't take your sister back home if you refuse his proposal." He said in a gauzy tone.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I have an unmarried sister. It's my responsibility to get her married. I will lose my job if I take my wife back."
"This is unfair, Jeejaji"
"I'm a mere middle-class man, Khushi. I'm not capable to fight with ASR. Who else other than you knows his power? Who could dare to fight with him? I love my wife very much. You know that. But now, I can do nothing. Please don't mistake me Khushi. Your one YES can make all of us happy. I will get promoted. Your sister will be with me, in my home. I will get my sister married. It's all in your hands, Khushi. I won't force you and you can also not force me. Your decision will end everything. Decide what's good for us." He said regretfully.
Khushi looked down, gritting his teeth.
"I would like to tell you as your jeejaji. Though ASR is doing something beyond our limits we should not ignore the intensity of his motto."
Khushi looked at him bewildered.
"It can't be a simple thing if he spends money in crores. He brought the shares of the company which is totally unrelated to his fashion field. He hadn't put his foot out of the fashion field so far. Now, he is doing that... only to get you Khushi."
Vijay...the man who was seeing ASR for the first time is explaining about Arnav Singh Raizada to Khushi.... what a funny... Doesn't Khushi know about him? If Vijay could understand him this much who is just seeing ASR's action for the first time then what about Khushi...who has his complete bio-data, likes, and dislikes?
"I'm sorry Khushi. I'm putting you in pressure. But I don't know what your problem in accepting ASR is... He is the most eligible bachelor of the city...wealthy, successful, talented, handsome, what not? I agree he is rude and arrogant. Apart from that, there is nothing we could raise our finger about his character."
Khushi gulped down. How could she tell him what her real problem is? Vijay left the place, leaving helpless Khushi. She didn't expect that Arnav would play such a POWER SHOW.
She knew Arnav Singh Raizada hates failure. No doubt her Denial would be an utter failure for him. Just to get succeeded, would anyone spend money in crores? Why he is doing this? The intensity of the matter is unexpected for Khushi. How could she marry him without telling him about her past? What if he gets to know about it in the future? This is not done. This must be stopped. She has to talk to him. He can't escape tomorrow. He has to listen to her.
She fell on the bed but she couldn't sleep. Standing against Arnav Singh Riazada is not an easy thing. He won't back off if he gets into something. Everyone knows that. She felt like her head may blast anytime. Why Amma took her promise? How would he react if he gets to know that she is a murderer's daughter? Won't it affect his dignity in society? How could she tell him the truth? She has to find out a solution.
RM
NK was pacing in his room. He doesn't know on which side he has to stand. One side, his brother... another side his best friend... He sat on the bed, holding his head. He felt to talk to someone. He called Lavanya, so he could be relaxed.
"Hi, LA..."
"What happened to your voice? You sound low?"
"Because I really feel low."
"Why?"
"You won't believe if I say..."
"Tell me first."
"Nannav wants to marry Khushi."
"My God... I just can't believe it. So, Khushi is going to marry a man who she likes the most.... But...what's there to feel low?" she questioned.
"Wait... what did you just say? She likes Nannav?"
"Yes..."
"What rubbish...don't you know Khushi and her taste? Nannav is not her type. She doesn't like him."
"Who said?"
Lavanya's question made him frown.
"I know that very well. I had witnessed it many times."
"But I know she likes him very much..."
"Whaaat?"
"Yeah...if she talks for ten minutes, Mr. Raizada would occupy at least six minutes in that..."
NK was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to take this.
"She admires him, NK. I had never seen her so much engrossed in someone like she does with Mr. Raizada."
"Maybe... she likes him professionally," NK said stammering.
"What about Sinha then? Doesn't she like him? He treated her as his own daughter... but I had never heard her talking about him like she talks about your brother... not even about her own father... forget about Sinha." She chuckled.
"You mean Khushi also likes Nannav?"
"I'm not sure... I have strong doubt about her feelings but she likes him very much. You no need to worry about her. Be happy."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah... opposite poles attract easily... She also told me he is a reserved type but I don't think he will be a reserved person to Khushi too."
"I can't believe Khushi likes Nannav."
"She does..."
"He insulted her directly once."
"Still, she likes his qualities..."
"But... she said NO to marry Nannav..."
"Don't you know her? She doesn't take advantage of the situation. And she is scared of his pride."
"I'm confused..."
"You just leave it on Khushi. She decides better than you. And... just think how it feels if three of us will be together?"
NK sighed.
"And is there any guarantee that she will get a better husband than your brother?"
NK was silent. How could anyone give a guarantee in that matter?
"No right? So, please ask her to marry your brother. Give your support... she will agree to marry him. Please, please..."
"Let me think."
Lavanya disconnected the call and NK started to think deep.
Next day...
Without entering into the office, Khushi was waiting for Arnav in the parking lot. Arnav didn't disappoint her... Or he might be expecting her...
Arnav got down from the car with the smirk, seeing Khushi.
"Hi..." He greeted her.
"I need to talk to you."
Arnav looked at his watch. The time was ten to ten.
"Tell me" he leaned on the car, folding his hands.
"This is not done."
"What?"
"Why did you blackmail my jeejaji?"
"Blackmail? What do you mean?" he asked as if he doesn't know anything.
"How could you snatch his job?"
"Didn't he tell you the full scenario? You are optimistic. You see positivity in everything. Don't you? I gave him promotion... with increment... why not you see the brighter side? I thought you will thank me for the favor I'm doing for your jeejaji... for making your sister's life lavishing... you disappointed me..."
"But I don't want to marry you..."
"Ok...then don't blame me... because it's purely YOU who is going to snatch your sister's happiness."
"Why are you doing this? You have no idea what I'm going through."
Arnav closed his eyes, turning opposite to her. He knew she is worrying about her past.
"I don't care about anything... I don't want to listen to any lame excuses... I just want YOU. That's all...."
"How could you force me?"
"I'm not forcing you...I give you options. You have all the freedom to choose one."
Khushi sighed.
"Please don't spoil my Jeeji's life."
He turned towards her.
"Your Jeeji's life will get spoilt ONLY if you say NO. (he stressed.) Understand the issue clearly, Khushi."
"I belong to the middle class...."
Cutting her,
"I don't care from where you are... who you are... where you belong to... Just get married to me... you will become Mrs. ASR. All your past position will get erased."
"But... you don't know my other side..."
He stopped her by showing his palm.
"I will get to know about it after our marriage."
"What if it is not as what you think?"
"I think nothing... so it won't affect me...let it be anything... I will accept it."
"Do you think this relationship will be successful if you make me agree in this way?"
"We have a lifetime to discuss it... why hurry?"
Khushi widened her eyes. Is he fixed?
"what if I won't accept you as my husband even after the marriage?" she tried to intimidate him, but... whom she is intimidating? ASR? He shut her mouth simply.
"It's my problem... why are you worrying about it?"
He asked as if she is not related to it.
"Now get back to the work. It's 10'o clock."
Saying he headed to the office all smiling, leaving horrible Khushi.
To be continued...

Approach
Khushi was working on her laptop. Though her fingers were typing something her mind was thinking about only Arnav and his demand. Arnav usually won't demand. He always orders. This is also not a demand but also a kind of order in the disguise of demand. Of course, she could deny him but for how long? What after that? He won't take rest until he makes her say YES to the marriage. Is fighting with Mr. Raizada would be a wise decision? What could she do? Should she marry him? Does she have any other choice? But, being a murderer's daughter, she won't deserve him. How could she tell him that?
