Chapter 34 Continued

They directly met at the resort early morning over breakfast...

"Khushi, this is Ria, John and his wife Nisha, Lisa, Cathy, Jena and her hubby and Mario" Arnav introduced Khushi to all his friends. Khushi said a polite Hi to everyone.

"And guys, this is my girlfriend, Khushi" Arnav introduced her.

Lisa was initially surprised Arnav was joining them but she least expected Khushi with him and him officially introducing Khushi as his girl.

Friends also noticed, this was first time Arnav was introducing someone as his girlfriend. Usually girls always called themselves his girlfriends behind his back which he never confirmed or denied... Interesting change in ASR's life for sure!!

Soon they went straight for trials of ice skating and skiing... Arnav was expert at both and helped out Khushi but Khushi got tired after couple of times she fell while skiing. So they decided to take a break for lunch...

During lunch Lisa was sitting right next to Arnav but as if his eyes were only on Khushi... He was forcing her to try different things by feeding her, getting her sweets from buffet even though he can't eat... All his friends were observing how he was doting towards Khushi!!

And once they moved to tubing, she was thoroughly enjoying. Arnav and Khushi went together multiple times on tubes and once he forced her to go down together with heads down. Khushi screamed her heart out yet managed to do it again...

Lisa could see Arnav totally involved with Khushi and having a gala time! They both were inseparable! Arnav was every now and then cuddling, kissing on Khushi's cheeks and she would respond by hugging him back and or just hide her face in his chest after his whispers!

After dinner, they all got together around the bonfire for late night chat! They did their usual thing, catch up with each other...

"So how are things ASR?" Nisha asked knowing how upset and down he was 2 weeks ago when they all had met.

"Oh, things are just great. Work opportunities been fantastic in Europe. Plus Khushi here with me is just icing on the cake" Arnav did not hesitate to show his affection towards Khushi by side hugging her and pulling more close to him...

"Angels collaborating with AR has been exciting and busy" Cathy also added.

"What's with you, Lisa?" Ryan asked.

"Great so far. Have 8 hotels so far in UK and 8 across Europe. And expanding in Asia in next 5 years is the goal" Lisa was proud of her achievements in expanding her father's business of 3-4 star hotels and adventure sports tagged with it.

"Wow, that's just great" John appreciated.

"Nisha and John, how are things with you both?" Ria quipped.

"Expanding business and family as well. We have a good news with baby onboard. And expanding my linen business with few more 5 star hotels chain. So things will be busy for sure. Lisa, we have things in common that we need to discuss offline. I was discussing with ASR too the other day" John added.

Everyone first hugged and congratulated Nisha and John. Everyone could see why Nisha was glowing so much...

"Wow. Indeed John, we all could discuss. Even I have been talking to ASR too" Lisa added with a tinge of disappointment that ASR is yet to entertain her on business expansion.

"Sorry guys, I have been super busy with my own project with Angels. Will ping you when I have some time in hand" Arnav informed them honestly.

"What's your opinion Khushi?" Lisa suddenly asked.

"About what?" Khushi didn't expect Lisa to converse with her!

"About hotel chain expansion in India and collaboration?" Lisa put her in spot.

Even Arnav was surprised. He looked at Khushi's face and was a bit worried but Khushi kept her hand on his assuring him not to worry.

"If you ask me, I do not know much about China tourism market and hotel chains there. But I can give insight for India" Khushi confidently replied. That made everyone alert including Arnav.

"India's tourism market is always strong and nowadays even locals and foreign tourists are venturing into adventure sports where you have an edge. But since you are looking to pitch in with 3 or 4 star hotels, you might want to target secondary cities instead of metros and cities like Goa which are already over populated with all types of hotels" Khushi said it in one go.

"Coastal cities in south like Karvar or Koorg coffee estate, Himalayas small towns and Rajasthan Gujrat cities will give edge for the additional activities package and in India, you can easily offer all-inclusive hotels which attracts foreigners a lot better" Khushi added.

"Last year, I did a survey for my final year project. We realized travelling with in India due to language problems, proper commute connections and food is a concern expressed by lots of tourists. So end to end connected packages including stay at your different hotels, food and adventure sports or additional tourism would just click it for you" Khushi explained with so much insight and enthusiasm that everyone was shocked.

"I am pursuing specialization in Food Technology and travel. So I researched some of those things last year but they do still apply. I plan to continue studies and post-graduation in Food Technology with focus on to-go food during travel" Khushi concluded.

Arnav was proud of her by now. Even he didn't know about her interests fully before...

Lisa initially thought to see how Khushi will react about the question. But even she was impressed.

"Baby, remember you are going to do everything after marriage including further education" Arnav side hugged Khushi and whispered in her years...

"No way, I want to continue my studies first..." Khushi spat back a little loud.

"Nope baby, everything after marriage" Arnav was insistent.

"No Arnav" Khushi pushed her point again...

"We will see" Arnav was adamant too...

"Did we just hear marriage from your mouth, ASR?" Ryan asked shocked to the core. Everyone knew how ASR was strongly against marriage and always vowed never to marry.

"Happens guys, now that I have Khushi I my life and I love her so much, I want to marry her soon..." Arnav accepted honestly.

"So of all the beautiful women and models, it took a teenager to tame ASR! Just wow..." Nisha joked...

"Hey, I am not a teen ager, I am running 21" Khushi corrected her quickly and everyone laughed...

"You were teen when we first met and still act as teen but I love it so not to worry..." Arnav hugged her tight from behind and Khushi was almost embarrassed by his PDA in front of his friends but his friends enjoyed seeing them...

"Wow love and marriage, we never thought this day would come... Hearty congratulations ASR" Everyone started hugging them both and congratulating them...

"Hold on guys, we are yet to talk to parents and get approvals. But we will get it soon" Arnav didn't want to rush things for Khushi and overwhelm her...

"Congrats Khushi, How do you feel?" Nisha asked Khushi looking at her blushed face...

"Of course I want to marry Arnav. We plan to talk to parents soon. And I want to continue studying as well. We will see" She tried to keep things under control. Wow, marriage on the cards already!

Everyone could see Khushi looked much younger like teen actually but were happy to see ASR head over heels in love with her...

"Are you aware of his famous temper Khushi?" John did not want to miss teasing ASR...

"Oh yeah, he is improving a lot though..." Spat came a reply from her...

"Oh, she is fine with it... She knows how to handle it and put me in place... Plus it's because of her, I am much more a sane person these days... It's all her..." Arnav leaned and put his head on her shoulder and Khushi just smiled looking at him!!

Lisa now could clearly see the depth of their relationship and how crazily ASR was involved in Khushi... Once she could let past her interest in ASR, she could see her friend happy and madly in love with a simple yet beautiful girl and ultimately ready for commitment! At last, she could genuinely feel happy for her friend ASR...
