49 Romantic?
Part 49 Romantic?
The kids were happily getting ready for the exhibition. Khushi asked them to wear a light outfit. She herself chose divider skirts for them and short pants for Aarav.
Khushi came to their room to get ready after making the kids ready. She got stuck, forgetting herself seeing Arnav in a T-shirt and jeans.
*He looks dashing no matter what he wears* she thought.
Arnav saw her looking at him all lost. He raised his brows, seeing a thin smile on her face that thinned his lips.
"Are you ready?" Arnav asked.
That brought her sense back.
"I will be ready in a few minutes..."
"A girl and getting ready in a FEW minute? I won't believe it..."
He chuckled and Khushi laughed.
Taking her clothes, she said,
"It's 5:35..."
She went to the washroom. She stopped before entering the washroom and looked at Arnav.
"You look fetching in this outfit"
"Fetching? Really?"
She nodded yes pressing her lips and closed the door. Arnav smiled. Did he FETCH her attention?
She came changing within five minutes. She looked gorgeous in a simple kurti and jeans. She went to the mirror and combed her hair. She left it freely. Applying bindi, vermillion on her partition, and lip gloss, she looked at Arnav who was already looking at her.
"I'm ready..." She said.
Arnav clapped his hands without making a sound stylishly.
"Let's go..." She turned to leave but stopped hearing,
"Is it necessary to wear LIP GLOSS?"
She looked at him with a slight frown.
"Don't you like it?"
"Of course, I like it... it's so ATTRACTIVE... but, I don't think you need it..."
Khushi was thunderstruck. He walked out, looking at her facial reaction smilingly.
Khushi stood like a statue. What did he mean? Was she ATTRACTED him? Why did he say she didn't need it? Was she already attracted without lip gloss? Did he talk about her or her LIPS? Khushi felt a rise in her heartbeat. She gulped down pressing her chest. She jerked hearing kids calling her. She rushed out.
They came to the parking. As usual, Khushi sat in the back seat with Shali and Shamli. She let Aarav sit with Arnav in the front seat. She didn't want to disappoint him by changing the places. She didn't want them to feel a difference in her. Though she had a reason, that disappointed Arnav. He thought Khushi would sit with him.
They reached the exhibition. Khushi removed MASKS from her bag. She forwarded it to the kids.
"Wear this... this is one of the most crowded places... be careful. Ok?"
They nodded ok and wore the mask.
"Is it necessary for me too?" Arnav asked.
"More than the kids, it's necessary for you..."
"Why?" He frowned.
"To avoid people recognising you..."
"Means?"
"As you become a popular model by our company Ad, girls may surround you...! You may get stuck in between girls...! It will stretch our time...!" She said.
Arnav didn't know if she was telling the truth or, teasing him. He looked at the mask and then at Khushi.
"Don't you think this is too much?"
"If you have doubt, just get out of the car without wearing the mask and check," She said confidently.
Without thinking, Arnav got down to prove she was wrong.
Khushi also got down with kids. Arnav came to them.
"Let's go..."
That was when they heard,
"Hey, look at there... AR Suiting modal"
They saw a few girls looking at them who were supposed to get into the car. They ran to him.
"Sir, shall we have a selfie?"
Arnav looked at Khushi who raised her brows with a cute attitude. The girls took a few selfies with him even before he agreed to him.
"Thank you handsome" They rushed away giggling.
Khushi looked at him folding her lips. Taking the mask from Khushi's hand, Arnav wore it, making her chuckle.
They entered the exhibition. The kids were awestruck, seeing its feature. It seemed like a jugglery for them. Giant wheel, Merry-go-round, Columbus raid, roller coaster, mirror house, Horror house, 3D show, Big size Pappad, Colorful giant bubbles, etc., etc.,
They went on all the rides one by one. Khushi held them tight protectively not wanting to make them scared.
They got down from the giant wheel.
"Are you scared?"
"No, it's adventurous..."
"That's nice"
Khushi brought them cotton candy without colour. It looked exactly like cotton.
"Is not it pink in colour?" Shali asked.
"The artificial colours are banned because it's unhealthy and cause many diseases" Khushi said.
Taking a little cotton candy from Khushi, Arnav tasted it.
"It tastes so sweet" Arnav frowned.
"Dad, it's because it's a candy" Shamli giggled teasingly. Shali and Aarav shared hi-fi with her.
Khushi controlled her smile, biting her lip.
After enjoying the exhibition thoroughly, they decided to leave the venue. That was when Aarav saw the Pizza shop. He nagged Arnav and looked at the shop. Arnav nodded a strict NO. Aarav's face hung. Khushi was supposed to say something, but Arnav stopped her.
"Khushi, I won't compromise in this... so, don't try to manipulate me"
"No, I don't try to manipulate you... I just want to say,"
"No need to say anything regarding..."
Khushi sighed.
"Dad, what harm if we eat only one time?" Aarav asked making a face.
"Let's go..." Arnav walked without answering to Aarav.
All of them stood looking at each other.
"Kiddo, Dad doesn't even like to talk about it. Don't make him disappointed. He accompanied us to the exhibition. He respects our wishes. If he doesn't want you to eat pizza, don't ask him about it again. Ok? Don't spoil your good mood for a single thing you didn't get. Then Dad will feel bad" Khushi said.
They nodded ok feeling sad. Khushi felt bad for them. They got seated in the car. Khushi purposely spoke to them to make them casual. Slowly the situation changed and the kids started talking with joy. Arnav noticed it.
They reached RM. Nani and Dadi were in the living room, waiting for them.
"How was the exhibition?"
"It was awesome," They said happily.
"Ok, go and eat dinner"
"No Badi Dadi we ate a lot in the exhibition" Aarav said.
"What about you?"
"I too don't want anything" Khushi said.
"You Chotte?"
"I will eat" Arnav said as he didn't eat anything.
"Ok, come getting fresh..." Nani said.
Arnav nodded ok and went to his room.
"Guys, you to go and get fresh..."
The kids went to the room.
"Wow, Khushi bitiya, the kids obey you without fussing"
"They are good, Naniji"
Dadi and Nani smiled at each other.
"Of course, they are but they won't listen to everything said by us..."
Khushi smiled as she understood what they trying to say.
Within a few minutes, she saw Arnav coming down, all fresh. She served him dinner.
"Are not you going to eat anything?"
She nodded no.
"Have a banana at least"
She didn't deny it. She sat with him and ate a banana. She waited for him to complete eating and went to their room with him. She went to the washroom and came changing.
"Thank you so much Arnavji"
Arnav raised his brows.
"For what?"
"For accompanying US to the exhibition"
"It was really awesome. Felt happy and stress-free. Thanks..." He said.
Khushi smiled.
"Kids are happy... you are showing them a different world. Fortunately, it makes them happier..."
"They would be more and more happier if they had gotten PIZZA..."
"No Khushi. I don't want them to get the hope that they can get something unhealthy from me if they are adamant"
"They are not adamant... they obeyed you"
"They have to..."
"What I would like to say is..."
"Khushi, please... I don't want you to conflict with me in
anything"
"Until you listen to me, how could you know if I'm in conflict with you?"
"If I don't like something, if you want to talk about it to me, what does that mean?"
Khushi didn't want to argue with him about it anymore. Some
things could not be argued but proved. So, she kept quiet.
"Oh... I accepted the Ad offer"
Khushi lifted her brows. Arnav nodded yes.
"But, how did it happen?"
"They changed the concept" he smiled.
Khushi nodded from left to right with a slight smile and lay, covering herself.
"They have an obligation"
Khushi looked at him to know the obligation.
"They want the ad to be ROMANTIC." He intentionally cut off the word SLIGHT.
Khushi widened her eyes. She could not believe Arnav agreed to act in the Ad even after knowing their demand. What was there in his mind? She tried to read his face but his face looked like crystal clear water. She could not read anything.
To be continued...
