Part 20 Tackled
Khushi reached AR with NK. Aman welcomed them with a smile.
*Hi, Khushi...*
*Hi, Aman...*
*How do you know my name?*
*I'm Shashi Gupta's daughter... don't forget that.* she chuckled.
Aman rolled his eyes.
*Nannav came?* NK asked.
*Punctually...*
Khushi ran her eyes and stopped at the name board ARANV SINGH RAIZADA.
*It's ASRs cabin...* Aman said.
*Shall I go?*
*Alone?* NK asked panicking.
*Haannn...why?*
*Nannav is not like us... he talks less...*
*Oh... we are getting married in a week... will you guys accompany me after the marriage too?* She asked sarcastically.
NK scratched his forehead whereas Aman grinned at her.
She went to his cabin casually.
*My God, Aman... What if, Nannav got irritated seeing her*
Aman doesn't think he will get irritated.
*Let's go* Aman walked towards Arnav's cabin.
*Wait... we will not enter but listen to them...*
*It's not a manner to overhear a couples talk...*
*As if they are going to talk romantically...* NK said frowning.
Aman chuckled.
Khushi knocked on the door and she got a DRY *come in* from Arnav. She peeped in, opening the door slowly. Arnav raised his head casually and got stuck. He couldn't believe Khushi is in his cabin. He stood from the seat unknowingly. Khushi entered in.
*Sit down, sit down... I'm not your teacher.* she chuckled.
Arnav sat on the seat, getting awkward. Aman and NK controlled their laughter. They were curious to know Arnav's reaction.
*You here?* Arnav asked.
*I would like to see you. So, I came... shouldn't I? * she back questioned him.
Arnav gulped not answering her. Taking the phone, he called the receptionist.
*Bring two cups of coffee* he disconnected the call.
Aman and NK, who were hearing their talks, and standing outside, looked at each other with unbelievable expressions. They didn't expect this kind of soft gesture from Arnav.
*How are you?* Khushi asked.
Arnav nodded yes.
*When will you go to RM?*
*Evening...*
*Ohhh... won't you go before that?*
Arnav nodded NO.
*Why?*
*I want to talk to Amma about something very important*
Arnav liked her calling Ratna *Amma*
*About what you are going to talk to her about?*
*Didn't I say it's very important...? that means, about YOU*
*About me? what is that?*
*Guess...?*
*Are you going to tell her about our coffee shop meeting?*
Khushi nodded NO whereas Aman and NK were shocked. When did it happen?
Khushi nodded NO.
*Then?*
She sighed.
*You know your voice sounds sweet... but you are not at all talking... just to hear a few words from your mouth, I said that. I have nothing to talk to Amma... doesn't mean I have nothing in my heart...* she smiled.
Arnav couldn't hold his smile and he smiled nodding NO.
That's when Aman and NK entered in. Arnav got stuck, seeing them.
*Nannav, I brought Khushiji here...*
That's when Arnav remembered that NK would have picked her up from GH to give the measurement for the Lehenga.
At that time, the receptionist brought two cups of coffee. She kept the tray on the table and left. Arnav looked at Khushi and then at the coffee. Taking a cup,
*See... how sweetly he treats me...you guys were scared...*
Arnav looked at them shockingly like *What the hell they said about him...?*
*No no, Nannav... we just were cautious...*
Arnav shrank his eyes like REALLY?
Khushi smiled at them.
*Why do you call him Nannav? What does that mean?* Khushi asked NK.
NK and Aman chuckled whereas Arnav glared at them. Khushi was curious to know the meaning of Nannav, seeing Arnav tensed.
*Tell me, Nanne...* she insisted to him.
*When Nannav was small... I mean Arnav was small, he pronounced his name like that. If anyone asks his name, he tells, Nannav...* NK laughed.
Khushi looked at Arnav biting her lower lip who was scratching his forehead.
*Everyone stopped calling him by that name except me...*
*Really?*
*Yeah...*
*Why?*
*He doesn't like teasing. So, people started distancing from him ...* NK said.
*Oh, my God... that means he doesn't like me too?* she asked with fake shock.
Arnav looked at her sternly.
*Why?* NK asked.
*I tease a lot... that's why* she laughed.
*Ohhh really...?* NK raised his hand for the hi-fi and Khushi tapped his palm.
*Maybe, he likes it if you tease...* Aman countered.
Khushi nodded her head, looking at Arnav.
*What do you want?* Arnav asked Aman.
*Nothing ASR... we just...*
*Yeah... I brought Khushiji as she wants to meet you. Hai na Khushiji?*
Khushi nodded yes, folding her lips.
*I think ASR is busy... shall we go, Khushi?* Aman asked, noticing Arnav's expression.
Arnav tightened his jaws and could say nothing.
*Ok then, I'm leaving...* Khushi stood.
Arnav swallowed the word *DON'T GO* with effort. Aman understood what is running in his head. He smiled inwardly. It is hardly a week... after that, she will be with you ASR... he thought. Aman and NK went out. Khushi stood at the door and looked at Arnav.
*See you Nannav...* she winked at him chuckling and left his cabin.
Arnav's lips curved into a cute smile. Yes, he likes it if Khushi teases him. Don't know why he doesn't get angry or irritated with her no matter what she talks about.
*Bye Aman...* Khushi said.
*One minute Khushi...* Aman stopped her.
*Yeah, tell me*
*Thank you for coming...*
Cutting him...
*Don't be formal...* Khushi said.
*I'm not talking about coming to AR but about Arnav's life...*
NK nodded yes.
*We are worried about him and his future... *
Khushi smiled at him.
*But, I don't know how he agreed to the marriage... thank god he agreed. Or else... he would have missed you...* NK said.
*It's all destined...* She said smilingly.
They nodded yes.
*I will come, dropping Khushiji in GH.* NK said.
Aman nodded ok. They left AR. Aman stood thinking about ARSHI. He was happy as Khushi is not a moody type. Arnav certainly needs this kind of partner because he won't make any moves to make this relationship work. If his partner would also likes him then there won't be a single chance for the relationship to shine. He smiled with satisfaction.
GH
NK dropped Khushi at GH.
*Come in Nanne... have something.*
* It's ok Khushiji... I have to go... see you*
*See you...*
NK left GH. Khushi came inside. Garima was talking to her friend on her mobile. She disconnected the call and kept the mobile on the tea table.
*Done?* Garima asked.
*Yeah...* Khushi said.
*Do you want to eat something*
*Nothing Amma... I will have lunch...*
*Ok, then...*
She went to the kitchen to complete cooking. Khushi was about to leave, and Garima's phone lightened. She looked at the number and got horrified because it was Sheetal's number. She pressed the volume button before it sounded. Taking the phone, she rushed to her room.
*Hello... who is this?* she said from the bottom of her stomach, changing her voice densely.
*I don't think how you agreed to marry your daughter to a murderer...*
*Hey, you... mind your words... about whom you are talking...? He is my Damadji...*
*He is a murderer... what if he kills your daughter too...?*
*My daughter is not as cheap as his first wife...she has values... unlike that B****
Sheetal got stuck.
*You don't know what happened...*
*We know everything... in fact, my husband and my son were with Arvind Bhai at that time... my son told me everything about that immoral woman... any man in Arnav place would have done the same if he sees his wife sleeping with someone... I don't know who the hell you are but don't you dare talk about my Damadji... If you call me again I will tell ...*
Khushi disconnected the call and gritted her teeth. She silently kept Garima's phone back on the tea table. It seems, this Sheetal won't be quiet... thank God, she received the call. What would have happened if Garima had attended it? She should not be silent letting her do all the rubbish... Khushi thought to take Aman's help to tackle Sheetal.
Sheetal felt humiliated... she couldn't believe that Garima trusted Arnav to this extent. She thought she can be manipulated Garima easily. She never expected that she would warn her. What would she do to stop the marriage now? She has to search for another way...
To be continued...
