3 Captivated?
Part 3 Captivated?
The next morning
Shashi came to the dining room and saw Khushi, stirring the dall with a spoon, thinking something.
"What are you thinking?" Shashi asked, taking a seat opposite her.
"I'm thinking, why did you laugh instead of getting angry?" Khushi said.
"Me?"
"Then who? Me?"
"When?"
"When I said the Arrogant Singh Raizada suspected me more than before when I said I'm a Shashi Gupta's daughter..."
"What's there to be serious?" He asked coolly.
"He thought I might have poisoned the cake..."
"Why did you give him cake?"
Khushi was stuck.
"Just for a courtesy..."
"Do you think he suspected only you?"
Khushi nodded no.
"How?"
"His manager said he eats anything only after the food is tested."
"So, it's his routine... Right?"
Khushi nodded with a pout.
"So, there is nothing to get angry about."
"Don't you think he is too much?"
"Why? Isn't your life precious to you?"
Khushi flipped her lip and looked up.
"Likewise, his life is precious to him. How could we say it's wrong?"
Khushi pulled her hair and blew it because she could not say it wrong.
"Stop thinking about him and eat," Shashi said.
"I'm not thinking about him. I just asked your opinion. That's all..." She stuffed the toasted bread in her mouth.
"Where was the boy? Where did he come from?" Garima asked.
"He is from London. He has been doing business there."
"Oh... Then why won't he be haughty?" Garima said.
"Why are you saying him haughty? He is confident. See in that way..." Shashi said.
"What happened to you dad? You are taking his side a lot?" Khushi asked, smirking.
"I like confident young guys. He is the top."
"Did you meet him?" Garima asked.
"I haven't gotten a chance yet," Shashi said, and they sensed his disappointment.
"Go to the hotel Blue Moon. He has a personal hall in that Hotel." Khushi said sarcastically.
"I will meet him soon..." Shashi stood up and walked away.
"Is he really a big-headed guy?" Garima asked. Khushi nodded confidently.
"I haven't seen such an arrogant man. When I argued with his manager, he was like he didn't hear anything and continued his VC."
"He might not have heard your argument..."
"He did because his smile..."
"You said he was on VC, then how would he have listened to what you argued? He should have smiled at someone on the VC..." Garima said.
"Whatever..." Khushi stood up.
"Where are you going now?"
"Where else? The hotel Blue Moon. My friends would be waiting for me."
"Who's birthday today?"
"No one's birthday today. I booked the swimming pool wholly for us... Till afternoon..."
"Why is it till afternoon, why not till evening?"
"Mom, after soaking hours in the swimming pool, do you know how the hunger would be?"
"I don't know because I never soaked in the pool," Garima laughed.
Khushi rolled her eyes and left the place.
The hotel Blue Moon
As Khushi said, her friends were waiting for her there.
"Are you ready, guys?" Khushi asked cheerfully.
"Yeah, we are ready... With bikini..." Lavanya winked.
"Let's enjoy..."
Lavanya noticed Khushi's eyes wandering.
"Are you waiting for anyone, Khushi?" Lavanya asked.
"No... All our friends have already come. Then whom would I search?"
"I thought you were searching for Mr Hot." Lavanya blinked rapidly.
"Mr Hot? Who is that?" Khushi asked, even though she understood, Lavanya addressed Arnav so.
"Don't you know about whom I am talking?"
"How do I know? I don't know mind-reading." Khushi said carelessly.
"Who has been hot among the men we recently met?" Lavanya questioned.
"We meet many every day..." Khushi said with no interest.
"Ok, leave it... We can't wake up the one who is pretending to sleep."
"I don't pretend..."
"Ok... It's fine if you are not affected..." Lavanya went to the changing room.
Khushi sighed. She waited for her turn as her friends occupied all the rooms. They started coming out one by one and jumped into the pool. Khushi went to change. She came out in a bikini and joined her friends.
The swimming pool got filled with their giggles and chuckles as they played throwball.
After a while, Khushi saw Arnav entering the hotel through the small gap in the swimming pool door.
She thought something and swam out. Wearing a robe, she rushed to him. Her friends looked at her with confusion.
"Khushi, where are you going?"
"Will be back..." She said while running.
As usual, he had been surrounded by his guards and the manager. When he entered the narrow lobby, she came in front of him. The whole team stepped back at her sudden entry.
Arnav frowned, seeing her in a robe. His men, as usual, stopped her from either side. Khushi carelessly shrugged their hands.
"Why are you guys reacting like, as if he is a foreign leader and I'm a human bomb?" She asked teasingly.
The guards looked at Arnav, who was looking at her sharply.
"Who knows, you may be a human bomb..." Aman said, smiling.
Khushi made a weird face at Aman.
"I heard something about you..." Khushi said, looking at Arnav.
Arnav slightly tilted his head, shrinking his eyes.
"I heard you bagged a deal with no profit. I haven't seen such a great businessman in my life... Who doesn't want profit..."
Arnav's face looked like crystal clear water. His men were looking at him nervously. Because no one ever countered him like that. Khushi was the first person who dared.
"Do you know what people think about you?"
Arnav folded his hands with an attitude.
"Mad... People think you have a problem in your brain because no businessman would work for free... Especially those who know the value of their time..."
Arnav smiled with raised brows.
"Why do you have so much attitude, Mr Head Weight?" Khushi asked, gritting her teeth and walked back to the pool.
Khushi didn't notice Arnav following her. She looked at her friends, who were struck by the sight of Arnav coming. Khushi frowned, seeing their reactions, as she didn't know why they were looking that way. She turned around and found Arnav behind her. She jerked, seeing him closer to her and lost her balance. She was supposed to fall into the pool, but Arnav held her, circling her waist and pulling her close to him. Khushi looked at him, widening her eyes.
"What did you say? Did you question me about my attitude? Yes, I have an attitude... Dirty attitude! I'm made up of my attitude. Because of my attitude, I became what I am today."
Khushi blinked, perplexed.
"I won't work for profit but for satisfaction. If something gives me satisfaction, I don't care about the profit and loss. Is that clear?"
Khushi gulped.
Arnav left her. In no time, Khushi fell into the pool. Arnav walked away casually. Khushi came out of the water and coughed. She tapped the water, gritting her teeth, glaring at him. Arnav looked at her, turning his head, smirking and walked ahead.
Khushi saw her friends looking at her, dumbfounded.
"Why did you go to him?" Preeto asked.
"Dad told me something about him. That's what I asked him."
"It seems he answered you differently..." Lavanya teased.
Khushi closed her eyes, annoyed. She didn't expect Arnav to answer her that way... In front of her friends.
Lavanya came close to her and asked,
"Khushi, someone said she had seen many hot guys in her day-to-day life. Did you see her anywhere?"
Khushi glared at her.
"Glare at me now, but when he hugged you, you were like a bewitched person in his arms..." Lavanya said, and others laughed.
"Shut up... I was not captivated by his beauty..."
"Yeah, you weren't... We saw that," Lavanya said, and again they laughed.
"I'm not going to leave him..." Khushi murmured, gritting her teeth.
To be continued...
