7 Unexpected Meeting
Part 7 Unexpected Meeting
Khushi was thinking about Arnav. She didn't know how to reach him. Many girls would have approached him. She didn't want to be one among them. At the same time, she didn't want to miss him because she liked him very much.
She got ready to go to the Hotel Blue Moon for a party. It was not her party but her friend's. She dressed up neatly and left the GH. She entered the hotel, searching for Arnav. She decided to go to his personal hall to see him. But her friends came before her and smiled. She smiled at them awkwardly.
"He hasn't come yet..." Lavanya said.
Khushi controlled her through her eyes as she didn't want her friends to know her interest in Arnav.
"Yeah, but he will be here soon..." Preeto said.
Khushi looked at Lavanya in shock.
"We know what's in your heart, madam... You don't have to glare Lavanya..." Preeto said.
"What's the program?" Khushi changed the topic.
"Let's go to the swimming pool..."
"I didn't bring my swimming kit..." Khushi said.
"No problem... we will go to the particular hall and celebrate the party... what say?"
"We can't go there..."
"Why not? Won't HE let us use the hall?"
"HE will let Khushi use the hall..."
They shared hi-fi.
"Don't irritate him, please... let's go to the swimming pool..." Khushi said.
"But you said you didn't bring your swimming kit..."
"It doesn't matter. I will be sitting. You guys swim."
"Are you sure?"
"Mmm..."
They went to the swimming pool. Khushi looked at the entrance again and again, expecting Arnav's arrival.
"What are you thinking?" Preeto asked Khushi.
Khushi nodded no hurriedly.
"She is thinking of a way to talk to him... am I right?"
Khushi nodded no hurriedly.
That was when Arnav came.
"He came..." Lavanya said.
Arnav headed to his hall with his men. When he crossed the swimming pool, Lavanya said,
"Start..."
Khushi looked at her with confusion, like, what to start? All of them shouted,
"Khushiiiiiii..."
Khushi widened her eyes and hid behind a wall, closing her eyes. Arnav stopped walking and looked at the pool through the window.
"Why are you hiding, Khushi... come on..." Lavanya said, laughing.
Khushi nodded no, biting her lip.
"Arrey... come and have fun..."
Arnav continued walking. A slight smile crawled in his lips. Khushi slowly peeped and looked at him. She sighed and asked,
"Why are you doing this, guys? Don't know what he is thinking..." she said wearily.
"Let him think anything. We want you to be in his thoughts. That's important."
Khushi pouted.
"He smiled," Preeto said.
"Yeah, he knew we teased him..."
Khushi smiled, biting her lip.
After a while,
They came to the dining hall to have lunch. They stopped walking, seeing a press reporter outside Arnav's hall.
"What's happening there?" Khushi asked.
"Let me check..." One of their friends, Roshini, said.
She went to the hall and inquired about Arnav's man. To her surprise, he answered her.
"The reporter is here to interview ASR."
"Oh..." she rushed to Khushi and said,
"ASR is going to give an interview to the economic magazine."
"Oh..." all of them chorused.
"Shall we see his interview?" Roshini asked.
"No... we will read it in the magazine..."
"But why?"
"What if the press reporter chased us? I don't want to be insulted..." Khushi headed to the dining hall even though she was curious to know about it.
All of them sighed and followed her.
.......
The next day
Khushi woke up and got fresh. She came to the living room and saw a box on the tea table. Shashi and Garima were having tea, looking at her.
"What is this?" Khushi asked.
"This is for you."
"For me? For?"
"You are going to wear this today."
"Saree? And me? Oh, no..." She sat keeping her hand on her head.
"Learn to wear a saree..."
"But why, Mom? Saree will not be comfortable for me..."
"You are not going to participate in a running race..." Garima said, and Shashi laughed.
"Dad, stop laughing. Please help me..."
"But I don't know how to drape a saree, beta..."
"Dad, are you making fun?"
"Then what? See, doesn't Garima drape a saree?"
"Who asked her to wear a saree? Just wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and be casual..."
"I will be casual later... now, you wear this."
"Is it necessary?" Khushi sighed.
"We are going to the temple. It's your birth star today. I want you to get a good alliance. That's why we are going to the temple today... Go and wear this. We are getting late..."
"Mom, it's just 7 O'clock..."
"I know. We will go to the temple at least at 9 O'clock if you start getting ready now..."
Khushi rolled her eyes. Taking the saree box, she kept it on her head and walked, making Shashi chuckle.
Garima and Shashi got ready for the temple and waited for Khushi. They were stuck, seeing her in a robin blue saree. She clipped her hair with a clasp, and a bunch of hair strands caressed her forehead.
"How do I look?" Khushi asked, waving her saree pallu.
"Gorgeous..." Shashi said.
"My God, no bad eyes should hit you..." Garima took the kohl from her eyes and kept it behind Khushi's ear.
"See, how risky to be in saree... Bad eyes will hit me. This is why I don't want to wear a saree..." Khushi said.
"No problem. We are going to the temple. No bad eyes will hit you. Dave Matha will protect you. Let's go..."
They headed to the temple.
They reached the temple and saw it decorated with flowers.
"It seems like a big pooja held in the temple," Shashi said, seeing that a Havan was still smoking.
"Yeah... the more I know, this is not a special day..." Garima said.
"Mom, didn't you say it's my star day...?" Khushi asked proudly. She was struck to see Arnav in the temple. She was dumbfounded to see him in the temple. Arnav Singh Raizada was in the temple? She was excited.
He was standing in front of the shrine with a pair of couples. One looked a little older, and another was a young couple. They should be his parents. She walked with her parents, looking at him, who was interestingly talking to his people.
When Khushi got close to them, Arnav looked at her and was stuck. He looked at her, forgetting himself. She came to the shrine and stood with her parents in front of Arnav's family. She smiled at Arnav, who didn't reciprocate it. He was lost in her, which made Khushi embarrassed.
Shyam saw Shashi Gupta and smiled.
"Hello, sir, how are you?"
"Fine... and you are...?" Shashi asked.
"Shyam Manohar Jha... lawyer..."
"Oh yeah... we met in Thiwari's party. Right?"
"Right..."
"Sorry, I could not remember."
"That's ok, sir..."
"She is my wife, Anjali. He is my father-in-law, she is my mother-in-law... and he is my sale Sahib, Arnav Singh Raizada..."
Shashi's face lit up.
"Arnav Singh Raizada...?"
Shyam saw that Arnav was gaping at Khushi. He nagged him.
"Haan?" he looked at Shyam.
"He is Shashi Gupta, businessman..."
"Hello, sir..." Arnav extended his hand, and Shashi shook it.
"Nice to meet you, young man. I heard a lot about you. I so want to meet you, and I got a chance..."
"I, too, wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect it would happen soon, " he said, looking at Khushi.
"We came to the temple because today is my daughter's birth star. Her mother wants her to get a good husband. So, she brought us here..."
Arnav looked at Khushi, who smiled awkwardly.
"Devi Matha will give her a very good husband," Anjali said.
"Yeah, anyone would like her... she is beautiful...!" Ratna said.
Khushi blushed, looking at her feet.
"My God, my daughter is blushing... this is the eighth wonder..." Shashi laughed, making her condition awkward.
"Yeah, she always roams fearless..." Came from Arnav that was unexpected.
All of them looked at him, awe-struck.
"Do you know her?" Ratna asked.
"We know each other..." he said.
"We met in the Hotel Blue Moon..." Khushi stammered.
"Oh... I see..." Ratna said.
"She always talks about him..." Shashi said, making her condition miserable.
"Is it?" Arnav asked.
"Yes... she does..." Garima said.
"I hope she didn't talk rubbish..."
Shashi laughed.
"No, no... she always talks well about you..." Garima said.
Arnav looked at Khushi, smiling, who didn't look at him.
