73 Work from home
Part 73 Work from HOME
Arnav followed Khushi to their room ignoring Raizadas' awful gazes and locked their room door.
"How could I stay at home, Khushi?" He asked sighing.
"Why? Why can't you stay?" she back questioned him.
"Don't talk like, you know nothing about my work schedule." He asked raising his eyebrows.
"Being your PA, I know very well about your schedule." She said folding her hands.
"Then why are you adamant, Khushi? I have important meetings this week." He reminded her.
"Why do you want to attend the meeting?" she questioned him as if she doesn't know that.
"What a silly question is this?" Arnav shrank his eyes.
"Answer me..."
"We may lose good deals if I don't attend the meetings..."
"Why should we get deals?"
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Tell me, Arnavji..."
"To keep AR in the first position..."
"Why should AR be in the first position?"
"AR has a reputation, Khushi...."
"AR has a reputation... it can be in the first position only if you are ALIVE."
Arnav was dumbfounded.
"Of course, AR will go. down from the first place... but, you will be there to save it. We can get it back to the position soon. You have a life threat, Arnavji. What will happen if something happens to you? What will I do without you?" She asked fearfully.
Arnav smiled cutely, seeing his wife's worry. He thought to pull her leg.
"AR will get a talented BOSS than me who can bring a solution for every problem... She will keep AR in the first position no matter whether I'm alive or not..."
As Arnav didn't expect, he received a slap from Khushi.
"What the..." He uttered as usual.
Khushi extended her index finger towards him and made him flinch back.
"Shut up... this is why you married me forcefully...? How could you dare to leave me alone? Do you think I will sit on the CEO chair flauntingly and rule your empire happily?" her eyes brimmed with tears.
Arnav dragged her on his chest. Khushi tried to push him. Arnav tightened his grip.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
"Go to hell with your sorry..." She said circling his waist, pouting.
Arnav kissed her hair lovingly.
"What do you want me to do? I should be at home, right?"
She nodded yes.
"I won't go out of RM until the shooter gets caught. Ok?"
"Promise me you should not talk like that ever..." She demanded.
"I won't talk and won't get beaten up." He smiled.
Khushi chuckled all smilingly and pecked his cheek strongly. She was about to rush out, Arnav clutched her hand and again pulled her towards him.
"What do you think? Why I agreed to be at home? It's only for you. If you want me to be at home, you should be with me, Mrs Raizada..." He claimed.
"I will be with you only Mr Raizada... I'm just going to bring you something to eat." She said pinching his cheek.
Arnav nodded ok. That's when Arnav's mobile rang. Khushi again pecked his cheek and ran out, leaving smiling Arnav. Arnav attended the call with the same smile. It was from Rohan.
"Haan Rohan... how is Mr Vikram?"
"I'm sorry ASR... I have missed him," he said with repentance.
"Whaaaat! How could you be so irresponsible?" Arnav howled.
"I was following him wherever he goes. He was following Khushi ma'am from the day he came out of jail." Rohan said.
"Whaaat! Was he following Khushi?"
"Yes, ASR. He followed Khushi ma'am but he didn't try to near her at least once. I followed him silently. When you stayed at your farmhouse, we were also there. I was watching him whereas he was watching your bungalow. When someone attacked you, he ran towards the direction from where you were shot. I followed him but I couldn't find him. I don't know where he got vanished all of a sudden."
Arnav was shocked at his statement. Was Vikram following them? He might have done that to see Khushi... but where did he go? Did he get to know that Rohan was following him? Arnav became restless. He didn't know how Vikram is. What his real intention is. He turned out to be impatient.
He saw Khushi coming with a plate. Composing himself, he plastered a smile.
"Arnavji... come." She sat on the tea table with the plate.
Arnav sat on the recliner and about to ask her to feed him,
"I will feed you." Khushi volunteered herself before he asked her.
Arnav smiled nodding ok. Khushi started feeding him. Though Arnav was eating his mind was thinking about Vikram. Khushi sensed that. Of course, he would have thought about the attack. She supposed.
"Arnavji, what are you thinking about?" She asked with concern.
"I just am thinking about postponing our meetings."
"Aman and Akash will take care of it. You just guide them"
Arnav nodded yes.
"You take the responsibility of rescheduling the meetings and other programs." He asked Khushi.
"You leave it on me. I will do it."
After finished having dinner, she stood with the plate.
"I will be just back." She went to the kitchen.
Closing the French door and the curtains, Arnav lay down on the bed, thinking about the attack. Who it could be? Does he have a gutful enemy who wants to kill him?
Again his phone rang. It was from Aman.
"Haan, Aman?"
"ASR, Laya left India yesterday from her friend's house. Tiwari is not getting released from jail. And Mrs Bhatia is in Mumbai with Mr Bhatia."
"Maybe, Laya had arranged the attack, before leaving India. Tiwari could make it possible, being in jail as he has money. And... Mrs Bhatia doesn't need to stay here when the attack happened."
"Yes, ASR... there are many possibilities for us to suspect those three."
"Keep tabbing them. Tab Tiwari's son as well as Mrs Bhatia."
"I will. But I don't think we will get a clue by tracking them. They won't be careless if one of them is behind the attack. "
"I too don't know how the police will trace the shooter. Let's see."
Arnav disconnected the call. Arnav tried to connect the dots but nothing worked. As of now, he couldn't conclude. He turned his head towards the door as Khushi locked it. She came to him and sat next to him.
"Everything will be alright, Arnavji. You just stay at home. The police will find the person behind the attack."
Arnav pulled her beside him and cuddled.
"I will be alright once the person behind the attack is found."
"Are you bothering about us?"
"We can't predict anything, Khushi because we don't know the intention of the person."
"I asked all the others to stay at home. Everyone will be safe. You no need to worry"
Touching his cheek, Khushi kissed his nose.
"It's already late. Sleep..."
Khushi nodded ok and settled on his chest. Khushi falls asleep in a few minutes but Arnav could not. He won't sleep until the danger around him gets cleared.
The next day
Though Arnav and Khushi were working from home she spent time in the kitchen in the morning.
Arnav came searching for her. He saw her tasting the dall tapping her tongue.
"It's perfect, Payal." She said.
Payal saw Arnav standing, folding his hands. She nagged Khushi to look at him.
"Arnavji... do you want something?"
"This is how are you going to work from home?"
"I will be back, Payal." She came to Arnav and gestured him to come with her.
Arnav followed her to their room. Khushi took some papers from under Arnav's laptop and handed him. Arnav wondered, seeing his upcoming schedule.
"I have finished it in the morning when you were sleeping."
Arnav sighed. As he slept late, he woke up a little late than usual.
"It took an hour for me to prepare this... that's why I was helping Payal in the kitchen."
"I don't care if you do work or not. As per our deal, you should be with me. ok?"
"Ok... now, come and have breakfast."
"I just had medicine. I have to wait for ten minutes."
"Arnavji, please stop having medicine."
"What to do? Without teaching me yoga, my wife keeps only herself fit and fine..." Arnav teased her.
Khushi punched his bicep pouting. Arnav laughed at her.
They started working together from home. After started working, Khushi became serious. She had been doing the work not giving heed to the man who is admiring her leaving his work behind.
At last, he snatched the file from her hand.
"Arnavji... give the file..."
"What so busy Khushi? Can't you look at the poor man in front of you for once?"
"Arnavji, assume that we are in the office. This is not a place to romance. At least, let me finish work."
Arnav pulled her beside him and circled her shoulders.
"Don't be so particular, ok?"
"Form when the great Arnav Singh Raizada became unparticular?"
"From the time, a wicked girl threw the spell on me..."
"Am I wicked?"
"Of course, yes. See, how you are working not giving attention to me..."
"Arnavji, don't forget that you made a VOW..."
"But a kiss won't ruin my vow." He pressed his lips on hers.
Arnav Singh Raizada was a specialist in taking great decisions. His decisions never fail as his assumptions work cent presently. But now, it seems, his decision of kissing Khushi is wrong. Pity him. Neither he could stop nor could he continue. His lost mind urged him to break the vow.
But, unexpectedly, Arnav's phone called him to pick it up. Khushi broke the kiss and Arnav sighed. Khushi folded her lip and controlled the chuckle. Arnav saw the inspector's name flashing. He attended the call hurriedly.
"Yes, inspector...?"
"Sir, we have been found a man killed in outer Delhi who is a criminal..."
Arnav was nervous. KILLED? Is that man Vikram?
"But why are you telling about him to me?" he asked gulping down.
"He had a paper in his pocket in which all your details have been written."
Arnav was more nervous. Didn't Rohan say he is following Khushi wherever she goes?
Inspector's next stance made him relieved.
"And the bullets shot on your farmhouse matches to his gun."
That means, he must be the shooter but who killed him? Arnav couldn't conclude.
To be continued...
