5 Smooth Gesture
Part 5 Smooth Gesture
Malik Residence
Rohini, Rajesh Malik's caretaker, was waiting for him to return home. She had been taking care of him since his childhood. As his mother, Amrita Malik, was a businesswoman, she could not spare the time for Rajesh. So, she appointed Rohini to take care of him. It's 1:30 am. Rajesh hadn't come home yet.
She stood up from the couch, seeing him entering the home.
"Why are you coming home late, Rajesh?" She questioned him rightfully.
"I went to my friend's birthday party," Rajesh replied.
"Is it necessary to stay up until midnight? Why are you spoiling your health?"
Before Rajesh answered, Amrita did.
"Didn't you hear what he said? He went to his friend's birthday party. If it is about the party, he would indeed stay up..."
"I know, madam. He always comes late. This is the 5th time this week."
"So what? This is the age to enjoy life. Could he stay up like this at our age or what?" Amrita asked sarcastically.
Rohini stood silently.
"Have you had your dinner?" Amrita asked Rajesh.
"Yes, Mom. I had..."
"That's good. Go to your room and take a rest."
"Ok, Mom..."
"Did you get your pocket money?"
"Of course, yes, Mom. I always get it sharply."
"That's great..." Amrita smiled.
Rajesh went to his room. Amrita was supposed to go to her room, but stopped hearing,
"You give him enough money to arrange it in a suitcase and call it pocket money..." Avinash Malik said.
Amrita smiled. Her smile vanished, hearing Avinash Malik's next stance.
"Don't you think you are spoiling him?"
"What do you mean I'm spoiling him? He is my son. Only the hire of the Malik clan. Do you want me to give him a few thousand bucks as pocket money?"
"If you keep on giving him money, how would he think of earning it? His mind will be stuck spending it. Instead of giving him money, teaching him to earn it..."
"Let him spend it. Who else will do it? For whom am I earning this much money? Even if he spends a crore rupees a day, I have saved enough money to last for generations. Then what is necessary for him to learn it?"
Avinash tried to say something, but Amrita stopped him.
"Don't teach me what to do. I created an Empire and am running it successfully... Hope you don't forget it."
"Don't you want your son to be successful?"
"Of course, he will... what doubt?"
"How will he be successful if he is irresponsible?"
"He is a billionaire... He just came home late. I don't know why you are taking me lesson. This is how Millionaire families work. I told you that many times. Change yourself and adopt it. Come out of your look like mentality..." Amrita said heated up and lifted the place.
Avinash Malik stood helplessly. Rohini felt bad for him.

The next morning
Khushi came out of the washroom, finishing her bath, wrapping a towel. She a three fourth pants and a sleeveless top.
That was when, Lavanya called her. Khushi saw her number and composed herself. Then attended it.
"Han, Lavanya..."
"What's the program today?"
"What program? Nothing..."
"Aren't you going to hotel blue moon today?"
"No, today I am going to take a rest at home."
"I see... Preeto asked me. That's why I asked you."
"Mom is scolding me a lot for not staying at home. You know. That's why I decided to stay home today."
"Okkk..." Lavanya sighed.
Khushi disconnected the call and dressed up. Taking her car key, she came downstairs. Shashi and Garima were at the dining table, having breakfast.
"Are you going anywhere else?"
"Yup... Hotel Blue Moon as usuI to want to be at home but what to do my friends are waiting there for me." She said casually.
"Can't you take off from your friends?"
"Okay okay, I will take off one day..." She eat hurridly and left home.
Khushi came to the hotel Blue Moon. She went to the hall that belonged to Arnav. But the hall looked empty. He was not there. Khushi was fed up. She wanted to meet him without any disturbance. That was why she cut off her friends. But to her disappointment he was absent. She got irritated and walked out of the hall. When she came to the huge reception of the hotel, Arnav entered with his security guards. Khushi was stuck for a while. Her mind worked fast. He pretended that, her leg slipped. She sat on the ground and hissed, holding her leg, just to see Arnav's reaction.
Arnav saw her. Her facial expression, told him she was in pain. Without thinking of anything, he rushed to her and knelt in front of her.
"What happened?" He asked with concern.
"My leg twisted..." she said, making a painful face.
"I will help you." He held her upper arms and lifted her.
Khushi was dumped. Of course, she tried to grab his attention. But she didn't expect him to react this way. She looked at his men who were also in the same state as her. She felt it was great. It seemed they had never seen Arnav doing such a thing.
She intentionally hissed again and maintained the performance. Arnav did something that she never dreamed of. He picked her up in his arms and started walking towards his hall. Khushi looked at him with an unbelievable stare. His men stood like statues, including Aman. They did not know if they should follow them or not. They didn't take their eyes off them. In fact, every eye in the hotel was on them.
Aman gestured for them to stay there and followed them.
Arnav made her sit on the couch and removed her shoe. Khushi looked at her thunderstruck. Her heart beat fast. She could not believe the man with a super attitude had removed her shoe and kneeled in front of her.
Arnav looked at Aman and said,
"Bring the spray..."
Aman gestured to his men the same. He rushed with the first aid kit and gave him the spray. Aman passed it to Arnav. Arnav sprayed it on her ankle. Khushi's condition became miserable. The spray gave her a burning sensation because there was no pain. She couldn't tell that. If she told Arnav would learn that her ankle really didn't twist. So she controlled her pain. In fact, she didn't feel the pain, seeing the man in front of her.
"How do you feel now?" He asked but didn't get a reply because she was staring at him.
He tapped her ankle.
"Mmm...?"
"Didn't you hear what I asked?"
"Whhhat?"
"How do you feel now?"
"Better..."
"Great... could you walk?"
"Mmm..." she stood up.
"You can rest for a while if you are not feeling good "
"That's ok, thank you..."
"You are welcome..." he smiled pleasantly.
Khushi smiled and started walking, looking at him again and again turning her head. Just the previous day, she taunted him and acted as if she didn't care about him. But, today she wanted to meet him alone. So she came cutting her friends off. She did not know why she wanted to meet him. She found her own actions crazy. In addition, Arnav's smooth gesture took her over the moon. She was enthralled.
When she came out of the hall, she again smiled at Arnav turning behind. In that, she didn't notice Rajesh Malik who crossed the hall. She jerked seeing him. Making herself up, she tried to leave the place because she didn't like that man but Rajesh didn't let her go and blocked her way.
Arnav, who noticed his action, frowned. He thought Rajesh was familiar with Khushi because he didn't think a reputed man would behave cheaply with a girl in a public place. But Khushi's reaction told him something. She raised her finger at Rajesh in a warning manner. After that, Arnav could not hold himself. Without thinking of anything, Arnav advanced them.
