48 Acceptance
Part 48 Acceptance
Arnav was suffocating. He promised Khushi that he would also accompany them to the exhibition. He was not used to being amid the crowd. He hated crowded places. Adding to it, the exhibitions would not be up to HIS standard. That bothered him. As of now, Khushi would have told the kids about his acceptance. There was nothing to think more. He came to their room and smiled at Khushi who was in their room.
At the same time, Khushi received a call. it was from APT Ad PR Santhosh. Khushi attended the call, looking at Arnav.
"Ma'am, this is Santhosh"
'Yeah,"
"Ma'am, did you ask ASR why he denied acting in our Ad?"
"The reason is simple, Santhoshji. Arnavji doesn't like your concept"
Arnav who was about to put his mobile in charge, stopped and looked at Khushi. Was she talking with Santhosh?
"Concept? Why didn't he like it, Maam?"
"He doesn't want me to be shown in the Ad as a silly wife, who gets consoled for a jewellery set" She laughed.
Arnav connected his phone with the charger smilingly and came to the recliner.
"Ma'am, this is just an AD. How can we promote our brand if we don't use such a concept? We would like to highlight our brand ma'am"
"Of course, I don't deny it. Arnavji thinks this is not a way to promote the brand because not everyone can be wealthier to buy jewellery set to coax his wife, right?"
There was a silence from Santhosh's side.
"If you want to promote your brand, you should highlight your specialities"
"Specialties means? What you are talking about ma'am?"
"See, instead of coaxing the wife with a jewellery set concept, the wife thanks her husband for introducing the brand to her with good designs and quality that gave her satisfaction and happiness..."
Arnav smiled while logging in to his laptop.
"How could we bring it on screen, Ma'am?"
"Husband comes home. His wife rushes to him all smiling. he asks her the reason for her happiness. She says she gifted her mother a jewellery set. She was highly satisfied with the quality and the prize."
"Wow... excellent ma'am"
"At the end of the Ad, the husband gifts her a jewellery set to get the same satisfaction of bringing a smile to her wife's face"
"Wow... you are so awesome, ma'am"
Arnav was gazing at her with disbelief because he wanted the Ad to be exactly the same. Khushi's next stance made him more surprised.
"This is not my concept but Arnavji's"
He looked at her widening his eyes who was not looking at him.
"He wants the Ad to be like this. He will act if the Ad has such a concept" She said smiling at him.
"Ma'am, give me five minutes. I will call you back"
"Sure" Khushi disconnected the call.
Arnav leaned on the recliner, folding his hands, smiling at her.
"It seems you changed the concept of the Ad..."
"No no... I just told him my idea"
"Then, why did you say, it's my idea?"
"It's because you wanted the same"
"How do you know?"
"Just guessed"
"Could you guess my ideas so accurately?"
"Am I guessed accurately?"
Arnav nodded yes.
"If it is so, will you sign the Ad if they change the concept?"
"Do you think they will change the concept?"
"He asked me for five minutes. He wants to discuss the concept with his officials, I suppose. If they TRULY want us to be in the Ad, they will approach us with the changed concept"
"Let's see..."
Khushi was supposed to leave the room, but she stopped hearing,
"I'm not used to being in the crowd..."
Khushi looked at him.
"I don't know what to do. Will you guide me?"
"Don't worry. There is nothing you can't handle. We are going to escort the kids... that's important"
Arnav nodded his head. Khushi again headed out.
"What are you going to do now?" he asked.
"Will prepare something for kids for lunch"
"Don't do that"
"But why?"
"Taking them to the exhibition is fine but preparing something for them is not advisable because they will expect it from you whenever you are at home"
"Haan... if they expect that from me, I will do that for them"
"You can't... because you are a working woman. You rarely get a chance to be at home. I don't want you to be working in the kitchen instead of taking a rest"
"I can manage, Arnavji"
"You can manage now because they are kids. They are growing. Their needs and expectations will also grow. You may not fulfil them. Or, you may struggle to cope with them..."
"Mmm... if I can't handle them, I will resign the job. What say?"
Arnav was shocked to hear that. Resigning the job?
"Whaaaat? To serve the kids, are you going to resign from the job?" he asked unbelievably.
"Of course, it happens in many houses..."
"It won't happen here," he said controlling himself.
"Why won't it happen, Arnavji?"
"I said no..." he folded his hands.
"Why?" She too folded her hands.
"Do you forget what you PROMISED me?"
"Promised? What did I promise?" she didn't get him.
"Didn't you say, you will take care of my need for your whole life as you are a working woman? If you resign the job, how will you fulfil my needs?"
Khushi looked at him trying hard to know if he said that for a joke or if he was really serious.
Of course, she said that when Arnav avoided her proposal by saying that he registered all his property in the kids' name and he had nothing for himself. She understood he was hinting at that now.
"Won't you take care of ME, Khushi?" he asked seriously.
Khushi was confused as she could not understand anything from his facial expression.
"Don't worry, Arnavji. I will take care of you by giving a few Ads... what say?"
Arnav rolled his eyes smiling.
"Don't worry, Arnavji. The kids are so understanding. They will understand me. You just don't bother about them" She left the place smiling.
Arnav sighed. No matter how hard he tried to hold her in his room, his tricks didn't work with Khushi.
That was when Khushi's phone rang that was on the bed. Arnav walked to it and saw Santhosh's name flashing. He received it to know their decision.
"Hello, Khushi Ma'am..." he was excited.
"Arnav Singh Raizada..." Arnav said in ASR's style.
"ASR... thank God, you attended the call" he became more excited.
"Why?"
"We changed the concept of the Ad. It will be like how you want it to be"
Arnav smirked. He expected it.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, ASR... our officials liked the concept so much. It's just awesome"
"Ok... go ahead..."
"Thank you so much, ASR"
"Mmmm..."
"One more thing, ASR"
"What?"
"Our officials want the Ad to be a lighthearted romantic..." he said, with slight hesitation.
Arnav became excited. Romantic?
"Means...?" He asked not showing his curiosity.
"They want Khushi ma'am to HUG you"
Arnav could not hold his lips from curving.
"Oh..."
"At the end, they want you to peck her forehead, after gifting the jewellery set"
He smiled.
"Oh, but I don't know Khushi will be fine with it"
"Oh, Noooo..."
"Do one thing. You don't tell her anything. I will handle this"
"Thank you so much, ASR"
"That's ok"
"Shall we fix it?"
"Yeah, you can"
"Thank you so much, ASR"
"Yup"
Santhosh disconnected the call happily. Arnav was happier than him. He just wanted the Ad to be with dignity. As he didn't expect, it would be ROMANTIC also. Of course, it was a lighthearted romance. So what? Would not it be the stepping stone to their relationship?
More than that, he didn't know how Khushi was going to REACT to it. He was curious to see her face when she was in his arms.
