Part 27
Once it was confirmed that ASR left for office, Akash made his way towards his sister's room, putting his plan into action. Akash may not be a match for ASR, but can ASR ever do anything when there is his sister involved, desperate times needs desperate measures, only and only Anjali Di can help him now, she is his shield now, his brother left no chance for him other than involving their sister.
"Di?"
"Akash? I thought you went along with Chotte?" she was surprised.
"No Di, I wanted to have a word with you before I leave,"
"is everything ok?"
"Ha Di, was just wondering what are your plans this coming weekend?"
If Anjali was confused by her brother's untimely questions she didn't express it upfront, she answered and waited to know where the conversation was leading to. Twenty minutes down the line the outcome of their conversation made Akash satisfied, a call was made to Arnav rising the anger levels of th great ASR.
------------------------------------------
"What the hell?"
His sister called him informing him to book tickets for their entire clan to Mumbai as they had decided it could be a much-needed family outing after a long time.
As if putting off Akash's efforts to tag Payal along alone wasn't enough now there is his entire family wanting to come, wait but why this sudden plan? Anjali is the only one who can clear his doubts.
"Di, what is this sudden plan of Mumbai visit with us?" he called his sister and without waiting for long directly jumped into the conversation. Before when Anjali called him to confirm their tickets he was shocked to respond.
"Why chottee, what is the problem, if we want to visit to Mumbai?" what is it with her brothers? one wants the family to come the other is questioning their arrival. Maybe it time for her to put on the detective hat.
" No Di, there is no problem, but its just that, this has never happened before,sooo....." he waited for her response, there is no way he will spill the beans about his plan to have only Khushi in the trip.
"Yes, this has never happened before but it can always happen now, isn't it?" Arnav giving importance to such silly matter is surely a red alert for her to take the matter into her hands and look into it.
" But me and Akash would be busy with the meetings, how would that be family time?" he can sense his failure in convincing his sister, but tried for one last time.
" chotte, at least on Sunday you would surely have time, and we all can go out in the mean time to enjoy, if it is problem to you if we come along, then it's ok chotte, I thought it's been long since I ever have been to a trip." emotional blackmail always worked so why not now.
"DI, please don't say that, you are never a trouble to me, I'll ask Aman to look for bookings of flights and rooms." he sighed.
"By the way chotte, even Madhumati ji would need some company while her nieces are busy working out with your people isn't it?"
"Madhu..What?" now who the hell is this who needs his family's company?
"Are Chote you forgot? Payal and Khushi's aunt, you saw on the day Khushi was admitted to the hospital, isn't it? I heard she is coming along with them to Mumbai." she didn't reveal Akash's name.
" Payal and her aunt? Di what are you saying?" the word hospital brought back some memories of khushi lying lifeless on the bed, the tension he felt until the medical practitioner confirmed her safety, for hearing those unnamed feelings here he was planning on having Khushi alone, if he thought his brother alone was the barrier what with the families coming along now? the girl would have thousand other reasons now to avoid and hide from him. Damn.
"I'll Call you back Di" seeing Akash entering along with the Gupta sisters, he cut the call wanting to have a direct conversation with the people who are hell-bent on spoiling his plans.
---------------------------------------------------
"I heard your aunt is coming along" appearing in front of them, he questioned, glaring at Khushi.
Before Khushi understood and responded there was a mail notification on Arnav's phone, work related which needed his immediate attention so he left the matter at hand to deal later.
---------------------------------------------
"It's good that you have informed me before," he said with a small smile on his lips. Whole night he spent twisting and turning on bed trying to come up with a plan to avoid Khushi's company, he was satisfied when in the morning he has decided to take his family along at least his family's presence would deter Arnav from any drastic steps but Payal made his day when she messaged him requesting three tickets to be booked stating her aunt wouldn't let anyone of them to be left behind or go alone.
His plan now has more support.
"Buaji doesn't want to risk our safety." Payal
-------------------------------------
By the time Arnav was free Khushi was back to her sweet home and the next day too he had no luck as he was mostly out of the office, clearing last minute meetings before they could fly to the other city the next day. Once he reached Shantivan he was informed that Nani caught the flu and was dropping from the trip, which in return made his sister too drop as she was worried. Mami insisted Anjali and her husband go ahead as she and her husband can look after the old lady, as it was nothing serious.
Even though he was worried for his grandmother Arnav breathed a sigh of relief, three people backed out for now. A Few minutes down the line he felt guilty for thinking in such a manner where his family is considered and all his guilt was converted as anger against a particular girl who was the reason all this has started.
Later that night Anjali too cancelled stating that his brother-in-law has some urgent case to look after and the wife is now not that excited to visit with her workaholic brothers in the name of vacation. Finally it is Akash and himself as planned before, the aunt and sister will be taken care of. No one can change the destiny which Arnav Singh Raizada writes, smirking closed his eyes for much-needed rest.
-------------------------------------------
On the other end of the corridor in a different room Akash was sulking as all his plans went down the drain when the family backed out, again only he is left to take the burden of keeping his bhai and Khushi at two ends of the room, at least Payal and their aunt will be there to help, it is a relief, praying the other two don't pull out a excuse to cancel their plans, he closed his eyes for a girl with side wept hair to invade his dreams.
-------------------------------------
On the other side of the city there were two people fussing over the person lying on bed with a painful expression while the fourth person stood at the entrance examining the surroundings.
So my readers any guesses on the people involved in the last section? Looking forward to your guesses until the next update.
Your likes and comments are my encouragement to write more and update frequently.
Note-- Dear readers I'm in search of a Arshi story the name of which I have forgotten but the names of the chapters and story name too has names of different perfumes. The name of the story starts with "F".(i guess)
In the story Khushi works for Arnav but they share a past in which Arnav is Khushi's driver. Anjali and Arnav are poor and Anjali falls for Khushi's brother but seeing their closeness Khushi's father instigates Khushi's brother to leave Anjali. Few years down the line now Khushi's family is poor and her brother is handicapped who works as a mechanic. Anjali is also working alongside Arnav in the company and Shyam's marriage is fixed with her.
