Part 28

(Update done by Aisha)

She stared at the tag in the corner of the dupatta which read "Arnav Singh Raizada". Why did he design it? To mend relationships or to insult her that she didn't bother to design a dupatta with the dress? Why did he send her the dress? Because it was his favourite and he wanted to see her in it or he hated it and wanted it out of the collection?

Khushi decided to ignore the latter reasons and go with the former ones. The dress was so beautiful that no one would ever want it out and as far as the dupatta was concerned, may be Arnav wanted to have a contribution in the dress. She told herself that the simple reason behind it was Arnav would definitely want the designer to wear her own designed thing. Satisfied with it, she decided to wear it.

~~***~~

Arnav had already reached the venue. He could hardly contain himself from calling Khushi. He saw to the preparation and management with an uneasy heart because inside, he couldn't wait to see her.

Whenever he took a break and sat down, he anticipated the image he had been dreaming ever since Khushi revealed that dress.

Arnav recollected when she had shown him the designs, this was the dress his heart went off to. And when he saw it on reality, holding it, touching it and feeling its create within, he knew he was making Khushi wear it someday or another. The dress was destined to be worn by the designer herself and no other model. The dress was his love, for his love!

~~***~~

Khushi wore the dress and she couldn't help but awe at the design. It was simply beautiful. How can she ever design something like this? She smiled at her reflection in a proud way.

"Bravo Khushi" She further told herself.

"Hurry up you lazy creature" Abhay banged the door of her room.

"I am ready" She called.

"So what are you waiting for? The show is not in your room"

Khushi groaned and before leaving gave herself a last look.

"Wow Khushi! This dress is so pretty" Complimented Abhay the minute she came out.

"Thank you" She blushed, receiving the first admiration for her creation, yeah first if you ignore the official admiration Arnav had expressed when she had taken the designs to him.

"I don't remember you having this in closet"

"Actually, It's my design" She replied.

"Really?" Abhay blinked as though finding it hard to believe.

"What really? I designed this. At AR" Khushi said.

And before Khushi could guess, Abhay took her in a bear hug.

"I am proud of you, chatterbox. Finally you have proved that you carry a little brain in that small cranium of yours"

"Argghh..!! Abhay Singh. Move back. You are ruining my dress" Khushi screamed.

"Stop behaving pricey, Khushi. Come on, let's get going now" Abhay chuckled.

Khushi merely nodded as she fidgeted with her dupatta, thinking something while Abhay had already turned to leave.

"Abhay" She called at his back and he turned back to face her.

"What now?"

"I designed the dress but the dupatta is done by Arnav" She revealed.

"Goes good with the dress" Abha said after a seconds silence.

Khushi's heart sighed in contentment. For the first time Abhay hadn't gone wild hearing Arnav's name.

With such beginning, she could hope for a good and memorable night.

"Well, you too look good"

"Me and good? You are wrong, Miss Gupta. I look very good, sexy and handsome"

"huh?"

"I am not looking good, I am looking too good. mind that" He said.

Khushi rolled her eyes muttering "What ever!"

**~~~**

"If he comes too close to you, I am not standing there and watching it" Abhay said as he drove and Khushi laughed.

"I am serious, Khushi!"

"Did I ever disapprove that?" She said, regaining herself.

"You and Arnav are always serious when it comes to you both" She said

"I still don't believe you forgave him"

Khushi choked. That was over, wasn't it?

"I..wo...A"

"We are here" His tone getting more grave.

"What happened? Why do you sound like there is bomb going to be dropped on you as we go in"

"This is even worse" He muttered under his breath as they got out of the door.

"Abhay! Khushi! Thank God you arrived" Anjali was waiting for them.

"Why wouldn't we? After all it's the first time Khushi's designs are being launched" Said Abhay making Anjali's smile falter for a second and Khushi nudged Abhay by her elbow.

"And after all you invited us" He added and colour returned to Anjali's cheek.

"Khushi" She turned to see who called her and there stood Mr Roy.

"Good Evening Sir" She wished him and gestured Abhay and Anjali to move on.

Abhay got the signal and left with Anjali while Khushi talked to Mr Roy.

~~***~~

"Come on Abhay, let's meet Bhai" Anjali suggested.

"What? No!" He almost roared and Anjali looked at him with shocked expressions.

"I mean, he'll be busy so we shall dis"

"Oh. You don't worry about that. Come"

And with an immense heavy heart, Abhay followed her.

~~***~~

"Bhai!' Anjali called and Arnav turned to face her. And for the first time, Abhay's presence didn't anger him. Instead he was glad to see him. Abhay's presence meant Khushi too had arrived.

"Yes Anji?" He asked.

"Bhai, look who came"

"Yeah I saw. Welcome Abhay" He extended his hand.

"I am glad you and Khushi came"

Abhay shook his hand.

"I came only for Khushi.."

"See Bhai Abhay cares so much for Kh" Anjali started but her words were interrupted by a voice, hearing to which Arnav's heart literally danced.

**~~~**

After talking to Mr Roy, Khushi came to the seating area, but found no Abhay and Anjali. She looked for them, and found Anjali talking to someone she couldn't see.

When she finally reached to them she called Abhay and the trio turned to look at her. It was then Khushi noticed Arnav who was looking at her with expressions that reminded her of the night they danced, he was mesmerized!
