Chapter 3

"BOOM

One moment she was running towards a light and the second she felt herself flying in the air as she missed her foot and the next moment she was held against something or someone.

It took her few seconds to get back her heartbeats in control, the moment she opened her eyes there were flashes everywhere blinding her eyes with the spark and the background was filled with a lot of noise. When she tried to get control of self she came face to face with eyes which were ready to pounce on her.

...

Arnav was stepping on to the stage when he felt someone come crashing on to him. Taking support of the railing beside he stabilized himself and held the bundle which leaped on to him. Once the crackers were lit, in that light, he saw the girl in green holding on to him for her dear life with her eyes closed. The flashes of the camera, the questions from reports surrounding them brought both into consciousness. The bundle in his arms finally decided the same moment to open her eyes, the illumination of different colors from fireworks above reflecting in them.

She would have been forever in his arms if not for the look Arnav was giving her. He dropped her to the floor abruptly and started dragging her towards the rooms on the other side of the event.

Is she dreaming or is she really with THE ASR?

"I want all the details of who is behind this Aman, Akash will handle the media while I will try to do some damage control over there. She was brought out of her reverie by his voice.

"Any update Aman? he was back within 15 minutes looking more annoyed than before.

"Sir, she claims that by fault she is here and is sorry for creating the disturbance.

"Sorry? Seriously, Aman, you do know how much that silly girl's mistake will cost us right? Let it be, I will deal with her I'm sure she is from the rival's only.

The moment he opened the door the girl tried to rush past him, alas he was faster than her, holding her upper arm he twisted her body and cornered her against the door.

"Who sent you here?

"No one, I'm here by my own. See, I'm sorry for gatecrashing your event but trust me when I say it was purely unintentional.

"Unintentional? Is it? Doesn't look like it by the looks. You have come here on your own wish to make money. Isn't it?

"What nonsense? See, I agree I'm at fault doesn't mean you would get a right to speak crap. Let me go, it's important for me to reach on time. She said struggling to release her arm from his steel-like grip.

"Important! Who else is in your list? Whose program you want to spoil next?

"See it's my sister's wedding today, I need to reach on time, let me go.

"What's the proof that you are saying the truth? Maybe you are trying to mislead me?

"I'm Khushi Gupta daughter of Shashi Gupta who runs Mistan Bandar. You can find the details on our website we undertake catering services. Today is my sister's marriage and the groom is here in Sheesh Mahal. Mr. Abhishek Sinha she spoke in one breath least he doesn't give her time to say further.

"Why should I believe that it's true? he still was not ready to listen to her made up story.

"You can verify the details, but please for now let me go, the groom's family at last minute decided to ask for a hefty amount as dowry. I need to speak to jiju, Please let me go.

"So, you are here to make money for that?

"Shut up, when you don't want to know the truth, why do you even keep me here? As it is you have decided to punish

May her words hit the right cord, pushing her aside he shouted for Aman, instructing the guy to verify the validity of Khushi's words. Before turning to go he turned towards her to say

"If at all I come to know the story you said is deceptive, mind it you will not see tomorrow's sunrise. Ten more minutes to decide your fate. With that, he was gone.

 

Is it the same person whose photo she has secretly kept under her clothes in her cupboard? She and her sister follow the news channels to T always updating themselves about the current interesting happenings across the globe.

A few years back she came across such news one day, about a boy who is emerging as the youngest successful entrepreneur taking over the fashion world. There was very little information about his personal life and no information on his childhood, the thing which attracted Khushi was how single-handedly he managed to reach the heights and she was impressed with his willpower, talent since then she used to follow every news related to him.

She developed a crush on him but that is something else different altogether with the type of looks the guy carries anyone will develop it. Looks can be deceiving she understood it today before she wished how would it look if at all she gets a chance to meet him but now she cursed herself for even wishing that ever. Payal always rebuked her about the stupid wishes saying,

"Khushi, think twice before wishing for anything otherwise you never know what it leads to.

Finally today she understood the meaning.
