Part 29
As the work for which they had come was completed, Sunday was taken as holiday with no more confirmation from their boss. Aman had relatives in the city who he wanted to pay a visit so he was long gone before the other members even woke up to the day. Khushi and Payal decided to utilise leisure time to have a short tour of the city, so they got busy getting ready.
Arnav being a workaholic have no other plans other than sitting in front of his laptop, which left his brother in dilemma with his ambitious plans. Akash decided to spend some time with his assistant cum lady love at-least on this day but there went his all night planning down the drain, there is no way he can request the girls to allow him to tag along with them, without raising a few suspicions.
Even if he was successful in doing so, the sisters would always pair and he wouldn't get moment alone with the elder one. The only solution he can come up with is throwing Khushi under ASR's radar for a while so that he can take a step forward in the matters of heart. but the question here being is the risk worth it? What if everything backfires? Should he sacrifice other people's sanity and peace for his agenda? What if the situation gets worse than how it is currently? Finally deciding Love favours the brave, he went ahead with convincing Arnav to join the ladies in having the tour of the city. Any disaster would be dealt accordingly as and when it comes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"City tour? Are you serious Akash? " with an unfathomable expression, Arnav looked at his brother's suggestion on the day's activity.
"Uh, huh, hmm, bhai I seriously think, we ..." one word and look from his cousin made him stutter.
"Akash, it isn't our first time here that you are excited to go sight seeing" Arnav in the name of god couldn't fathom what made his brother come up to him with this weird request.
"But bhai, we have been working on this project for so long without any break, I felt it's needed, although it's not our first, it is for the Gupta's, on the side with our much needed relaxation, we can go with them, you know the girls in the new city and all..." without revealing much of his plans, most importantly his desperation.
"Ohkk" he accepted after a careful thinking for the next few minutes, because Akash was behind him, nagging so there was no option for him other than accepting his deal. His acceptance has nothing to do with a particular Gupta being involved in the plan.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ji?" Payal picked up the phone to inform Akash that they were ready to step out, but the words on her lips died the moment the person on the other side informed about the change in their plans. The Raizada brothers wanting to have a tour themselves expressed their desire to accompany the ladies, keeping in the best interest of everyone around to go in group rather than separately.
"We will be at reception in fifteen minutes, the car is ready" saying so Akash disconnected the call not giving Payal too much time to deny, much worse come up with any logical reason to leave without them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WHAT? Jiji you could have straight away denied, why do you have to agree?" Khushi sulked with the new-found information.
"Khushi I was so shocked to get any words out the moment I heard it, even I'm thinking about how to deny now, without sounding offending." walking to and fro between the bed and mirror for final touch up's she expressed her inability to stop with a helpless look.
"City tour with Khadoos, the day is sure going to turn a lot worse than I can imagine, fine whatever devimayya's wish is, you don't worry" her sister was not at fault here, so what if he is accompanying them? Her rule of ten feet distance is has to be followed and everything would be in control.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If Arnav decided that he was past the phase of fleeting distraction, the look awaiting in front of him made sure his senses are knocked off with the same feelings returning with a thousand fold effect. Standing in front of him was little Gupta with her Kohl black hair flowing freely over her shoulders, face devoid of any makeup. The morning rays from the sun accentuating her complexion with a saffron tint. A small black bindi was placed in between the slender eyebrows in a way to ward off any evil eyes. Kohl lined eyes were twinkling with mischief, the nose pin sparkling on her scrunched nose. Ears dangling with the Jhumakas, and finally the girl's evergreen dazzling smile on her bow shaped rose lips. If all these were not enough for the torture this woman chose to drape herself in a crimson red chiffon saree, bringing to the fore her curves.
Akash's condition was no less than Arnav's. Payal in her new avatar made Akash to stand with a stupefied look in the middle of hallway. Dressed to kill the woman chose a dark green saree, pairing them with simple white stone jewellery, her hair left loose, inviting him to run his fingers through their smoothness. If this is how she is going to look for the rest of the day, there are high chances he would kiss her. Yes, go ahead and kiss and ruin all the chances of ever having a relationship with her in future, he has to keep a strong hold on his thoughts and actions today to avoid any disaster.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The men decided to self drive around the city but regretted the decision at the moment, with the ladies in the back seat grabbing their attention every few seconds it was tough for them to concentrate on the road ahead. After coming out of the initial shock of having their respective assistants in front of them with a new-look, it was decided they would first visit Siddhi Vinayak followed Mahalakshmi temple then take a break for brunch. Further plans would be decided later.

Sari for a city tour? No doubt our heroes are mesmerized by their beauty but I am a little practical person so just wondering.
