Khushi got out of the pool and again rushed to Arnav. She blocked his way before he stepped out of the pool area. Arnav folded his hands and asked,
“Why are you behind me, girl?”
“Whaaat?” she chuckled.
“Me and behind you? Stop daydreaming, Mr! How dare you push me into the pool!” she asked, gritting her teeth.
“Excuse me… correct your sentence. I didn’t PUSH you into the pool… I just dropped you. In fact, you were supposed to fall into the pool. I restricted you because you asked me something, and I wanted to answer you. After I answered, my purpose of stopping you from falling into the pool was over. So, I dropped you. However, you would have gotten into the pool, even though I hadn’t dropped you…”
“How could you decide what I would do?” she tried to corner him.
“What else does a girl who is in a bikini do?”
“Why? Should the girl who is in a bikini jump into the pool? I will go home in a bikini… who will question me?”
“No one will question you… I think I unnecessarily stopped you from going home with a bikini… people would have blessed me if I had given them a chance to see a free show…” he chuckled.
Khushi dropped her jaw.
“How dirty your mind is…!”
“You are making my mind dirty…” he said huskily.
Khushi looked here and there.
“Stop flirting… I don’t like such guys…”
“But I like the girl who prefers fighting…”
Khushi frowned.
“Whaaat? You prefer a girl who fights? Disgusting…”
“Life needs spice to make it interesting…” He tapped her nose and walked with a smile.
Khushi stood, looking at him. She jerked, hearing a whistling sound. She looked at her friends, turning behind. They talked with one another as if they hadn’t seen her talking to Arnav. Khushi rolled her eyes and came to the pool. Removing her robe, she kept it on a chair. Then, she jumped into the pool and started swimming.
“Preeto, did you notice one thing?” Lavanya asked.
Khushi heard it, yet she continued swimming as if she hadn’t heard their talk.
“The man who roams with a high security ring comes alone to talk to our Queen…”
“Not only that… the Queen who doesn’t get attracted to him is behind him with silly excuses…” Preeto chuckled.
“Yeah, I think he will eat anything if she gives him…without testing it.”
Khushi stopped swimming and glared at them.
“Stop taunting me… ok?”
“We didn’t taunt you. We just talked about someone… why are you thinking the girl is you?” Lavanya asked.
“Haan, Khushi… don’t we know you haven’t been attracted to him? After all, you have seen more handsome men than him…” Preeto said, and Lavanya shared a hi-fi with her.
“My father told me about him. I just wanted to taunt him that because I’m angry with him for what he did yesterday…”
“See, she started discussing with her father about him… by the way, what did he do? He allowed us to celebrate Preeto’s birthday in his hall. Is it wrong?”
“No, no, she is not talking about it. She is upset with him because he ignored having the cake given by her…”
“I’m not upset with him. Who is he to me? No one…” Khushi got out of the pool and walked to the changing room.
Her friends controlled their laughter.
They had lunch at the Hotel Blue Moon itself and came out of the hotel. Khushi paid the bill with her Golden card and walked, keeping the card in her bag. She didn’t see the man coming from the opposite side and dashed into him.
“I’m sorry…” she said.
The man stood and looked at her as if he hadn’t seen a girl in his life. He was Rajesh Malik.
Khushi saw his lusty eyes. She didn’t like the way he looked at her. She tried to leave, but Rajesh blocked her way. Khushi took a step back and looked at him loathingly.
“I don’t like it if a beautiful girl apologises to me. You can bang me again. I will welcome you.” He grinned.
Khushi shrank her eyes.
“Go to the main road and stand. A car or a lorry will bang you. The unnecessary luggage will be removed from the earth…” she said, pointing at him and walking away, murmuring.
“Who is she?” Rajesh asked his man.
He went to the reception and asked,
“Who is the girl?”
“She is Khushi Gupta. Gupta Industries owner Shashi Gupta’s only daughter…”
“Oh… Gupta…” Rajesh looked at his man and gestured something.
He nodded ok.
“Who is he?” Preeto asked Khushi.
“Scoundrel… I hate such uncultured idiots…” Khushi said angrily and walked towards her car.
“He is Rajesh Malik…a multi-millionaire…” A girl said.
“Whoever…” Khushi said.
She stopped, seeing Arnav coming to the parking lot. Her face softened. She composed herself when she sensed her friends looking at her.
“He looks pleasant to the heart… doesn’t he?” Lavanya asked.
“What are you talking about?”
“You got irritated when that scoundrel spoke to you, but your face softened, seeing the KING… know the difference…” Preeto said.
Without saying anything, Khushi got into the car and started it.
“Khushi, Preeto said something…” Lavanya said.
“What?”
“Know the difference…”
“I don’t have to know anything. Is that clear?”
“Are you sure?”
“Damn sure…”
“Thank god…”
“Why?”
“I like him…”
“Whaaaat?”
“I said I like him. I thought to step back if you like him. As you are not interested in him, I will move my card freely…” Lavanya said.
Khushi changed the gear and fastened the car.
“Hey, don’t kill me… I want to live long with the handsome hunk…” Lavanya said dreamily.
Gupta House
Khushi came home and shrugged her legs. Her footwear fell in opposite directions. She sat on the couch, folding her legs.
Garima, who saw that, came to her.
“What happened? Why do you look irritated?”
“It’s because I’m irritated…” she said irritably.
“But why? You looked cool when you left home…”
“Mom, I left home in the morning, and now, it’s afternoon. Anything would have happened in the meantime…”
“What happened?” Shashi, who entered the home, listening to them, asked.
Khushi was stuck. She was irritated because of Lavanya’s proposal, but she could not tell Shashi that. He would ask the reason for her irritation. What could she say? In fact, she herself didn’t know the reason why she was irritated about it.
“I met an idiot in the hotel Blue Moon today. He behaved like a rogue…”
“Who is he?” Shashi asked.
“Rajesh Malik…”
“Rajesh Malik? Why did he come to the Hotel Blue Moon?”
“Who knows?”
“He would have come there with a purpose. After all, it’s a hotel where anyone could come…” Garima said.
“No… usually, he goes to the hotel Oak Leaf. His mother is a member there. They would deal with everyone there…”
“His mother?”
“Yeah, he is Amrita Malik’s son…”
“Is it?” Garima asked, surprisingly.
“Dad, you always flatter that Amrita Malik is a self-made businesswoman. But her son looks directly opposite to her with no self-respect…”
“Yes, he is… he is the only heir of the Malik groups, but a spoilt brat. I don’t know how Amrita Malik let him be like this… he is a curse…”
“I don’t like that idiot…”
“Be careful… he is not a nice guy… falling in his eyes is not good. Keep your distance from him.” Shashi warned.
“If he does any hunky ponky, I will show him a picture…”
“No, Khushi, don’t do that. Just avoid him. I don’t even want his shadow to touch you. Is that clear?”
Khushi nodded yes, pressing her lips. Shashi went to his room.
Khushi became thoughtful. She told Shashi about Arnav yesterday, but he took his side. Now, he warned her to keep her distance from Rajesh. That meant Arnav was not as harmful as Rajesh. She went to her room thinking about the difference… as Preeto wanted.
To be continued…
