19 Two Options
Part 19 Two Options
GH
Garima and Khushi were having tea in the morning. They usually spend time in the morning as well as in the evening. As Garima is a working woman she rarely gets time to spend with Khushi. So, they planned their schedule like this.
"What do you want to do?" Garima asked finishing the tea.
"Whatever you say..." Khushi replied.
"Subhadraji is a cunning woman no one can handle... even Avinashji failed in that..."
Khushi was silent.
"I have no doubt that Ratnaji and Chotte Malik will be there for you. But, their world is a completely different one... their status... their lifestyle... their customs... everything will be new and a little awkward for you. You may lose your freedom..." she said expressionlessly.
"Amma... won't you guide me in the dark forest?" Khushi threw a question at Garima.
"What can I do, Khushi?"
"You can do anything, Amma. You are not who you were... you have faced tough times in your life... you brought me up without anyone's help... you made yourself strong like no one does...you are my strength, Amma. I know, being a woman, how much it's hard to live alone because I have been facing ROADSIDE Romeos every day. You would have faced numerous creatures who want to eat you alive... still you won... If it is so, why can't you win over Subhadra Raizada?"
Garima was gazing at Khushi like ever before. She never thought her life could be her daughter's guideline. Now, she is in a very crucial phrase. Her daughter will lose her confidence if she backs off. She can't let it happen. Khushi needs assurance from her. She can't break her trust. She made herself up and nodded her head affirmatively.
"Do what you want. I will be there for you... always." Garima assured.
Khushi smiled at her.
"What do you want to do?"
"I just want to give a tough time to Subi..." Khushi gritted her teeth.
"Subi?"
"Subhadra Raizada..." she chuckled whereas Garima laughed.
"Pagal... Very soon, you will get to know how cunning she is."
"I have already got to know about that old woman." Khushi didn't say that to Garima but thought in her mind.
"She is a mountain... you will get hurt if you try to bang on her."
"Who said I'm going to bang on her...? I'm a mouse, Amma... I'm going to carve her...."
"You can't do it alone..."
"I will make sure that Chotte Malik is with me."
"Do you think he will be with you...?"
"I will get the assurance from him. Then only I will marry him... or else NO..." She said with attitude.
"I don't think you are getting married to Chotte Malik, only to torture Subhadra Raizada..."
"Undoubtedly..." Khushi chuckled.
"I'm getting late... I have to go to the office."
"You go Amma. I will prepare breakfast."
"Thank you..."
Garima went to her room. Khushi sat on the couch, spreading her hands on it.
"Subi darling... you changed the landline phone with caller ID to catch me. Pity you... your Chotte Malik BLEBBERED about it UNKNOWINGLY... unaware of our deal. Do whatever... I will give you a tough time for sure." She smirked.
Khushi is thinking that Chotte Malik BLABBERED about the caller ID phone. But she didn't know he told that to save her.
AR
Aman was sitting like a statue hearing about Khushi Gupta's bravery. Arnav flicked his finger near his face and Aman flinched back.
"I can't believe this ASR... how could a girl be so courageous?" Aman wondered.
"I too just can't believe... I was dumbfounded you know?" Arnav smiled.
"What will happen if these two storms will be under the same roof?" Aman asked perplexed.
"It will be fun... " Arnav laughed.
"Will you stand at her side ASR?" Aman asked doubtfully.
"What are you thinking about me? Stop asking questions like Garima aunty... she is not ready to trust me... just because I married on my Dadi's words." Arnav said disappointedly.
"She is not wrong though..."
Arnav sighed.
"Where is uncle? He had not seen in the office since morning?"
"He went to Mumbai to attend a marriage of our supplier."
"Ohh...you have to attend a meeting in ten minutes." He reminded Arnav, looking at his watch.
"Yeah...I'm going..."
"Stop thinking about Khushi and concentrate on the meeting." Aman teased.
"I will try..." Arnav said while opening the door with a smile.
Arnav went to the meeting and Aman started working in his cabin. That's when Khushi entered AR. She saw the receptionist attending a call. She waited until the receptionist winding the call up.
"What can I do for you?" The receptionist asked Khushi.
"I want to meet your Boss."
"He didn't come to the office ma'am. He went to Mumbai."
"Ohh... When will Arnav come?"
"Oh, are you asking about Arnav sir?"
"Yeah about whom you are talking?"
"I thought you are asking for Arvind sir."
"No no... I want to meet Arnav."
"He is in the meeting, Ma'am..."
"Oh... when will the meeting get over?"
"Don't know, Ma'am. Just now the meeting started. It will take at least one hour."
"Can I wait here?"
"But, you need an appointment to meet him."
"He knows me..."
"Sorry, Ma'am, many people says like that. I can't allow you to meet him without an appointment."
"Where is the meeting hall?"
"There..." She extended her left index finger towards the hall which is in the ground floor.
"He will go to his cabin via this path right?"
"Yeah..."
"Ok. I will be waiting here until he comes. He will take me to his cabin if he sees me."
"Ok ma'am. If he doesn't recognize you than I won't allow you," she said cut and right.
"No problem."
Khushi sat on the couch and waited there for Arnav. She was waiting for ten minutes. That's when Aman came out of his cabin and saw Khushi sitting in the reception.
"Khushi...." He called unbelievably.
Khushi smiled at him.
"What a pleasant surprise... you here?"
"I would like to meet Chotte Malik."
"Really... ASR is going to get heart attack." Aman chuckled.
"The receptionist said he is in the meeting."
"Yeah..."
"That's why I'm waiting here."
"When you have his number, you could have called him. he would have cancelled the meeting than..." Aman teased her again.
"That's ok..."
Khushi couldn't handle the awkwardness.
"Come with me and be in ASR's cabin. He will come soon."
"That's ok..."
"No, Khushi. You are going to be Mrs. ASR after all."
Khushi noticed the receptionist's eyes widened and she gulping down.
"No problem Mr..."
"Aman... Aman Mathur..."
"It's ok Aman. Let him finish his meeting."
"Don't you want me to be alive...? ASR will kill me if he gets to know I let you sit in the reception. Please, don't mind..." Clutching her hand, he dragged her to Arnav's cabin.
The cabin looked stylish. Undoubted Khushi admired it.
"Please wait.... I will send you something to drink."
"No, Aman. I just had breakfast..."
"Sorry... it's our duty to welcome our guest."
"Ok... after ten minutes..."
"That's fine." Aman left the cabin.
Khushi observed Arnav's cabin awfully. She stood and looked here and there. This is time to do her work. Taking the landline phone she dialed RM number.
RM
Subhadra took a milk glass from HP. The phone started ringing.
"Check who is calling." She ordered HP.
"This is an AR number, Maji."
"Oh... it must be Arnav's call. Attend it." She again ordered.
"Jee..."
Hariprakash attended the call.
"Hello..."
"Can I take to Subi Darling?" Khushi asked.
"Subi Darling?" HP frowned.
Subadhra was thunderstruck. She understood whose call that is. But how she is calling from AR's number? She snatched the receiver from HP.
"You go..." She said looking at HP, covering the receiver edge by her palm.
"What are you doing in AR?" she asked gritting her teeth.
"What a silly question is this, Subi baby? why would I come to AR? Don't you know where there is RAM... Seetha must be there..."
"Look, don't test my patience..."
"Have not I tested it yet?" she chuckled asking teasingly.
"Please leave AR..."
"Sure... after meeting my darling..."
"Why are you torturing me? Why don't you get money from me and leave me?" she asked irritatingly.
"Ok... let me have a deal with you..."
"What DEAL?"
"I will give you two options... you can choose any... I will accept whatever it is."
"What options?"
"Get me married to your grandson..."
"Otherwise?"
"Get him married to Khushi Gupta..."
Subhadra was thunderstruck hearing the deal.
"I will leave AR without telling the truth your grandson if you accept the deal. Or else..."
"No... don't tell him anything."
"Then choose one..."
"I will get him married to Khushi..."
"Wow... you are so sweet... Khushi is the genuine choice... let me see what the great Subhadra Raizada does..." She disconnected the call smilingly. Her smile got vanished seeing Arnav and Aman standing folding their hands hearing her talks with Sibhadra Raizada.
To be continued...
The next update is available on Inkitt
Plan?
Seeing Arnav and Aman, Khushi was dumbfounded. Did they hear her talks with Subi?
"Hi... welcome to AR..." Arnav welcomed Khushi.
She spilled an awkward smile.
"Aman, didn't I say?" Arnav asked looking at Khushi.
"Yes, ASR.... I couldn't believe it when you said that." Aman said dreamingly, not moving his eyes from Khushi.
