12 Plan
Part 12 Plan
Khushi was on the bed thinking a lot about the mysterious place. She wanted to find out everything. For that, she had to roam in the vicinity freely without any restrictions. She knew it was next to impossible. To do that, she has to get support in this place. She could not get any guard's help as they were under ASR's control. With whom she could be friendly? Why should she think of someone when ASR himself was moving with her smoothly? No... She could not do that. After all, he was the reason her sister to get vanished. She felt like punching his face. Khushi gritted her teeth. How dare he flirt with me... Without even caring about my sister, he was roaming tip-top. Bloody bugger...
Suddenly, her eyes sparked. Didn't NK ask her to be his friend? Yeah... He was the right person. He seemed a little more individual than other guards and no one would suspect her if she went anywhere in the vicinity. She could use NK's name.
These guys could be defeated with friendship. How could ASR say the guards thought SHE WAS HIS GIRL? Let me see, what they would say, seeing her being friendly with NK.
In fact, Arnav said that to tease her because his guards always looked at any girl with respect. Khushi had no reason to know about it as she was new to the place but she would get to know that soon.
Khushi tried to get sleep while calculating what to do the next day.
The next morning
Khushi opened her eyes, hearing a knock on her door. She opened the door and saw NK standing with a guard who was having two bags in his hands. Khushi frowned. NK gestured to the guard to keep them in the room. The guard did what NK said.
"What's all this?" Khushi asked.
"Needed things," NK said.
"For whom?"
"The one who it's staying in this room"
"How do you know what I want?"
"I don't know what you want"
"Then what's this?"
"It's not me who ordered all this"
"Then?" She shrank her eyes.
"ASR..."
"You mean Nannav?"
"Yes... I call him so"
"Are you guys friends?"
"We are cousin brothers"
"Oh..."
NK took a step away, but he stopped as Khushi asked,
"Who are you guys?"
NK looked at her.
"What are you doing here? What's happening here? It seems you are ruling an empire... Individual place... Individual security... Individual leader... What is all this?"
"We are very simple people who are contributing to our country..."
"For country? But people outside are talking about something opposite to it. How the man who is always on the wanted list could contribute anything to the country?"
NK was about to answer her question, be stopped hearing the answer from Arnav.
"Not everything can understand by everyone because a lot of perspectives can be around us"
Khushi sulked hearing his answer.
"Can't you be understandable?" She asked.
"It's not even twenty-four hours since you came here... Do you want to understand everything? How greedy you are!" he said teasingly.
Khushi glared at him whereas NK chuckled.
"Are you an ALGEBRA theory that could not understand easily?" She asked sarcastically.
"It seems you are weak in mathematics... Is not Algebra easy?" Arnav asked looking at NK.
"Yeah... I scored centum in the Algebra chapter" NK said.
"Me too," Arnav said.
Khushi rolled her eyes.
"Let's go NK," Arnav said.
"Wait, NK..." Khushi stopped him.
Arnav and NK looked at her.
"I would like to talk to you," Khushi said that making the cousin brothers spare a glance.
"Tell me"
"Alone..." She said looking at Arnav.
That made both of them stun but as Khushi didn't expect, Arnav walked away.
"Yeah, tell me," NK asked.
"I'm sorry..."
"For?"
"For hitting you"
"That's ok... Anyone in your place would have done the same"
"Are not you angry with me?"
"Nope"
"Thanks"
"You are welcome," NK said smiling and was about to leave the place,
"Friends...?" She extended her hand for a shake.
NK looked at her reading her face not showing his amazement. He clutched her hand and shook hands with her.
"Nice to meet you NK..."
"Nice to meet you too..."
"May I know your full name?"
"Nandkishore"
"Oh... Shall I call you Nanne?"
"Sure... Why not?"
"When I was a small girl, I had a neighbor friend called Nandkishor. His Dadi called him Nanne. So, I also started calling him Nanne..."
"Oh... So, you are remembering your old friend through me...?"
"Mmm... Kind of..."
"Go ahead..."
"I hope your cousin brother won't scold you for talking to me," she asked, trying to understand his mind.
"He won't..." He simply said.
"How are you so confident?"
"It's because he is a gentleman"
"Oh..." She raised her brows
"Go and get fresh"
"Yeah... Shall we have breakfast together?"
NK got stuck for a while.
"But we always eat in the dining hall," he said hesitatingly.
"Oh... I'm not allowed in the hall...?"
"Actually, you are the first outsider in this place"
"Oh..." Khushi made a sad face.
"No problem... I will take you to the hall"
Khushi smiled brightly
"be ready at 9 o'clock"
Khushi nodded ok and went inside the room. she saw all the necessary things in the bag. There was a variety of dresses in that. Taking a full gown, she went to the washroom to take bath.
Khushi got ready and came out of the room. She saw NK waiting for her.
"Hi... Shall we?" Khushi asked.
NK nodded ok. Khushi walked with him toward the dining hall. Khushi entered the hall with NK and saw no one there but only Arnav. She frowned. She was disappointed as she wanted everyone to see her with NK.
"Shall we sit here?" Khushi asked, pointing to the table that was exactly opposite Arnav.
"Yeah sure..." NK said.
Khushi sat on the chair and NK sat next to her.
"Where are others? I thought the hall would be full" she asked whispering as she was so conscious not to Arnav hear their talks.
"They already had breakfast at 8 o'clock."
NK said in a usual tone that was so much audible to Arnav.
From NK's answer, Arnav assumed that what Khushi's question would have been.
The breakfast was served to Khushi and NK. Bread toast, a boiled egg, a glass of milk, and a banana were on the plate.
"Your food practice is so impressive," Khushi said.
"Every credit goes to Nannav... I mean ASR..." NK said.
Khushi looked at Arnav who was already looking at her while eating bread toast. Khushi turned her face. It was not hard for Arnav to understand that she didn't like him. If she didn't like him, why was she interested to be with NK? Being his cousin brother, she should hate him too because there was no difference between him and NK. Both were doing the same job. If it was so, why did she show the difference? He became thoughtful.
