43 Sheetal Or Ratna?
Part 43 Sheetal or Ratna?
Arnav headed to the dining, getting fully ready to go to the office. When he came to the dining, he received an incoming call on his mobile. It was from the wedding planner whom he called the previous day night. Arnav attended it.
"Hello..."
"Sir, I'm a founder of Happy Weddings agency. I saw a missed call on my mobile from your number. Did you call me?"
"Yes... I'm Arnav Singh Raizada. I picked your number from the Internet. I want you to work for my wedding. It's next week"
People who were in the dining shocked. Arnav's wedding was next week and they didn't know about it.
"No problem sir... Our output will be how exactly you want the wedding to happen"
"That's nice. Could you come to hotel purple orchid at 2o' clock?"
"Sure sir"
"Thank you" Arnav disconnected the call and started having breakfast not giving heed to people's existence.
Nani who came to the dining also heard his phone talk with the wedding planner. She noticed the rage as well as disappointment on people's faces. She came and sat with Arnav.
"Nani, I will send Motilal to RM. Chose mangal sutra."
"Ok," Nani smiled.
Her smile confirmed that Nani was also aware of his wedding. That blew them off.
"Start preparations" Arnav added.
Nani nodded ok.
"What's all this Chotte?" Sudhakar asked.
Arnav looked at him and continued eating without answering. All of them spared a glance.
"Nani, call me if you need anything," Arnav said.
Nani nodded ok. Arnav stood up, finishing breakfast.
"Bye Nani" Arnav left.
"What's happening here?" Manorama asked.
Nani looked at her and said,
"What else? Preparations of his wedding"
"Wedding? Is this what respect? We can't spare this" Sudhakar howled.
"What would he do then? Whatever he does, you guys don't miss a chance to taunt him. He found a witchcraft doll in his garden. How did it enter this house? Do you guys bother about it?"
"What can we do sasuma? We are also blank like Arnav bituwa. How do we know how it entered the house?" Manorama asked.
"Leave it, Mano, they are fixed not to respect us. Then there won't be any point in arguing with them. Let them do what they want. What has to happen will happen..." Anjana said with a sharp gaze.
"You are right. Everything will happen as per destiny" Nani said.
Lavanya finished having breakfast and came to Khushi's room. Ratna gestured for her to look at Lavanya. Khushi smiled at her.
"Congratulations, Khushi"
"Thanks"
"I don't know about others... but, I'm happy about having you as my Bhabi" She smiled.
"I'm also happy to have a friendly sister-in-law like you"
"You can ask me for any help in your wedding preparation... shopping, dress selection, jewelry, Mehandi... anything"
"Sure..."
"I will call my beautician to do a facial, pedicure, and manicure for you"
"No, Lavanya... I don't like anything"
"Arrey... this is your wedding... OTP..."
"OTP?"
"One Time Program..." Lavanya laughed and Khushi joined her.
"Do it... you will be so shiny. Don't deny... it's my request"
"Say, yes," Ratna said.
Khushi nodded ok.
"Cool... I will call my beautician" Lavanya left.
"Why did you ask me to say yes? I don't like them, Maji"
"Don't you want you to be at least half of the beauty of my son?"
Khushi dropped her jaw.
"Maji... flattering your son is fine... but this is too much" she pouted.
Ratna chuckled.
"Maji, do you know about Lavanya?"
"What?"
"She loves Akash"
"Is it?" she frowned.
"Yes..."
"Then why Maya asked your hand for Akash?"
"I don't know. Maybe, she doesn't know about it"
Ratna became thoughtful.
"Let me check"
"Maji, please be careful no matter where you go"
"Why would I fear when my DD is here?"
"DD?"
"Divine Daughter-in-law" Ratna smiled.
"We can't control all the things, Maji," she said worriedly.
"Don't worry... I will be safe"
"Mmm"
That was when they heard Nani saying,
"I saw a new daily soap broadcast" She had sarcasm in her tone.
Khushi and Ratna spared a glance. About what Nani talked about so excitedly?
"What program, Naniji?"
"You will laugh if I say"
"What's so funny?"
"Of course, it is... 'Mere Saas Booth Hai...' (My Mother-in-law is a ghost)" Nani laughed.
Ratna and Khushi looked at each other and burst out laughing.
AR
Aman was waiting for Arnav. Arnav didn't attend his call even after he called Arnav many times. He wanted to talk to Arnav about it. He knew Arnav was upset with him. He wanted to sort it out immediately.
As he expected, Arnav looked cold, just as the previous day. Aman followed him to his cabin and entered without Arnav's permission.
"Why didn't you attend my call ASR?" he asked disappointedly.
Arnav gave him a dagger look not answering.
"Do you think I would be behind the attack?"
Sitting on his chair, Arnav turned the laptop on.
"ASR, you are hurting me... Why would I attack you? I'm your friend damn it"
"Aman, if you don't want me to hurt you more, leave me alone," Arnav said, not taking his eyes from the laptop monitor.
"No... I can't... A real friend will not leave his friend in his hard times" Aman yelled.
At the same time, Sheetal entered his cabin. That made Arnav more irritated.
Aman was about to say something, but Arnav stopped him, showing his palm. He didn't want Sheetal to know the rift between him and Aman. She might try to create a big scene using the situation, Arnav supposed.
"Ok... Being my friend, take the responsibility of printing my wedding invitation" Arnav said keeping the coldness on his face.
"Wedding? Did you fix it?" Aman asked, not minding the shock that spread on Sheetal's face.
"Next Wednesday..."
"Congratulations, ASR"
"Bride's name is..."
Cutting him,
"Khushi Gupta..." Aman said.
"Yes... And don't forget to mention her educational qualification in the invitation.
"What's her educational qualification?" Aman spared a glance at Sheetal.
"MSc. Math..." Arnav said looking at Sheetal's face that turned pale.
"Wow... Is she a master in Math?"
"Yes..."
"But, you said nothing about it before, when someone taunted her as uneducated?" Aman asked, looking at Sheetal.
"Yeah... just yesterday, I got to know her educational qualification. You know what, she is not the kind of girl who flaunts a lot like others... she is so simple... that's her specialty" Arnav said and he could not restrict the smile from appearing on his lips.
Sheetal's face drained. She was agitated like hell. The only point she had to degrade Khushi was gone.
"I will get the invitation printed," Aman said.
"Before that, make sure when is the President of commerce coming"
"I already checked it. He is on his way... will be here in a few minutes. Akash took charge of the program"
"Remember... nothing should go wrong" Arnav warned.
Aman nodded ok and left. Sheetal was looking at Arnav biting her jaws.
"Whaaaat?"
She nodded her head right to left and went off. She came to her cabin and punched the desk. She could not tolerate this defeat.
"No... I won't let you win Khushi... It's me who will be with ASR forever... wait and watch... how I'm going to finish you off" she panted off.
The invisible person who was sitting in her seat smirked.
"Let's see... who is going to be with my son forever..." She uttered.
After a few minutes, AR premises heated up as the President of Commerce entered. Arnav shook hands with him and brought him in. Sheetal came to the President and forwarded a bouquet to him.
"A small token from my side, sir. You made our office proud by your appearance" she smiled.
"How are you doing, Sheetal?"he asked, after taking the bouquet from her hands.
"Doing great sir... as always..."
"It's blissful to have an energetic PA like Sheetal. Am I right ASR?" The President said.
Sheetal looked at Arnav proudly as her tactics of showing herself superior succeeded. And she was sure that Arnav would not defy the president and will accept his words of HAVING A PA LIKE HER WAS BLISSFUL. But Arnav was Arnav... always surprising.
"Not all the time, Sir... sometimes she overestimates herself," He said not looking at her, making her guess wrong.
The President laughed.
Arnav was highly impressed by the arrangements Akash had done for the program. The conference started. The President flattered Arnav and his administration. Arnav was watching people around him. He suspected each and every person in the hall including Aman and Akash... of course, Sheetal also. He could not trust anyone... he won't... until the culprit got caught.
The conference got over. Arnav requested the president to come for lunch. Accepting Arnav's invitation, he stood up. In no time, his leg tripped and he fell down... Or, maybe, someone would have made him fall down. Everyone was panicked as well as embarrassed. Arnav helped him to get up. He made him sit on the chair and passed the glass of water.
"Are you all right, sir?" he asked with concern.
He nodded yes, looking down. Suddenly, his expression reversed as Sheetal started laughing like hell. That made everyone terrified whereas the President felt humiliated. Aman hurried to her.
"Sheetal, what are you doing? Stop laughing" Aman said, looking at the crowd who was glaring at her.
Sheetal folded her lips to control her laughter but again busted out laughing.
"Sheetal... Stop your stupidity" Aman gritted his teeth.
Arnav was emitting fire on her through his eyes.
The President stood up furiously.
"What the hell is happening here, Arnav?"
"Sir, please, I will take care of her..."
He gestured for Aman to take her away. Aman made an effort to drag her with him. Sheetal pulled her hand and continued laughing.
"Arnav... I'm done with this stupid woman" The President exclaimed.
Arnav looked at her with rage.
"Get the termination order ready... She is fired" Arnav shouted, which made people shocked and the President calm.
To be continued...
