Chapter 48 - The Party!
"Khushi is so nave... ASR is gone for tonight... All set..." La was proud of her plans... Diya just laughed...
La purposely asked the assistant to put Khushi's long hair in a bun on one side to show off her blouse... She herself wore hair up and same for Diya... The makeup was very light yet top notch and lipstick to stand out...
"My goodness Diya, Ankit is gone today... You look smashing hot..." Khushi teased Diya...
"I really hope that idiot is not moved on and totally floored by me tonight... You both look super-hot too..." Diya was hopeful...
"La, NK is a goner too... You had to have the sexy side slit dress..." Khushi winked...
"Yeah, let him see who looks better... Those anorexic models or gorgeous me..." La looked at herself in the mirror one last time...
Arnav walked down and forgot to breathe looking at Khushi... She looked ethereal just like she looked during marriage and honeymoon...
"You look gorgeous Khushi..." Arnav walked towards her forgetting his anger...
"You look great too..." Khushi complimented him back...
"Jiju I am coming with you, I might drink..." NK came running and stopped looking at La...
"Oh wow, what's special? You look so hot..." He quickly avoided saying sexy...
"Nothing, just usual..." La shrugged it off...
"Diya my little sis, you too look amazing" Shyam told her...
They all walked out and Arnav and Khushi went in one car knowing he might meet lot of his business colleague and would be late...
"So Arnav, how was your meeting?" Khushi asked him casually.
"It got more and more hectic today, got too crazy... Maybe because of the upcoming shows and two new contracts..." He replied keeping eyes on the road...
"And how was your lunch date with Sheetal?" She couldn't help but ask...
"What date? I just told you I was so busy... I never had a minute to step out..." Arnav replied immediately remembering how crazy busy he was...
Khushi just nodded and smiled... She felt happy inside...
"But then Sheetal got lunch ordered in office and I couldn't avoid... Alfredo chicken pasta and broccoli soup" Arnav replied casually...
"Your favorites... She seems to be a close friend to know your food choices..." Khushi commented...
"Yeah, we go long way. She was my classmate at Harvard... Then we kind of dated for a short while... Again she worked for me for few years before she quit 5 years ago..." Arnav told Khushi the details...
"You guys dated? Wow..." Khushi didn't expect him to tell the truth so blunt and up front... Also she didn't expect them to be great friends after break up...
"Yeah, we did go on couple of dates during college and quickly realized we were more of friends' category than anything else and we stayed friends..." Arnav explained...
Khushi had no clue what is friends' category versus dating criteria...
"But looks like she still likes you and more... So you guys didn't date each other while you were working together five years ago?" Khushi asked surprised...
"Not really Khushi, we only dated in college eight years ago... And I was super busy and totally boring when I was building my empire 5 years ago... I was absolutely focused on work, nothing else... Sheetal is just like that, always hyper... Maybe she saw me after 5 years and hence excited... Nothing more..." Arnav shrugged it off...
But Khushi found it amusing how Arnav doesn't see her aggression, her efforts to get his attention, her doting on him etc. Within a day Khushi could see it all...
"Don't think too much Khushi... She is just a friend and nothing more... I just told you because I don't want you to hear things from others and misunderstand me... She means nothing... You know how much I love you right?" He pecked her as soon as they reached the destination...
Khushi felt relaxed instantly after his gesture, yet restless inside... Something about Sheetal was nagging and bothered her...
They all walked in together and the place was full of elite Delhi business clan... Arnav walked in with Khushi and introduced her to few of his peers...
"We must say ASR, your wife is an exquisite beauty with talent... You both look absolutely gorgeous together..." He heard often enough that night... He was proudly holding her by now... He was raged at times with ogling eyes of few bachelors at the bar...
Just then Ankit walked in... He walked in towards Anjali Di and Jiju after saying hello to all his friends... He was pleasantly surprised to see Diya looking so gorgeous...
La soon joined them and pulled Diya as well as Khushi with her when Arnav got busy with Mr. Mittal... Khushi was bored anyways with their constant business talks...
"Khushi, stick to the plan... Diya you too..." La warned them...
"Hey Ankit, introduce us to these beauties!" Big time flirt Karan Malhotra and gang walked towards Ankit...
"Hey, this is Diya my friend from London... This is Lavanya, works as Head Designer at AR Designs and this Khushi who recently became Master Chef so I am sure you all know her..." Ankit introduced them one by one...
"Yeah, we know Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada very well... You cook out of this world... So bad you got married way too early..." Karan joked... Khushi just smiled.
"Miss. Lavanya, you are the head designed at AR... Are you wearing your own creation tonight... You look gorgeous..." Rohan commented...
NK who was standing close by heard the comment and immediately rushed to La...
"Hi La, busy? Or can I steal you for a quick snack?" NK held her possessively...
"Hi, we are just chatting... Maybe later..." Diya rolled her eyes seeing NK still holding La possessively and joined the group...
"Diya, you too look amazing. What brings you to India, friends or family?" Rehan, Ankit's best buddy started conversing with Diya...
"She always looks gorgeous... She came to meet me" It was Ankit's turn to show his possessiveness for his girl... Khushi hid her smile...
"I told you it always works..." La whispered to Khushi...
"What works?" Khushi was curious...
"Jealousy..." La smiled...
"Here I am jealous like crazy with my husband standing with his so called "doesn't mean anything ex' girlfriend clinging to him all the time... I don't know if this will ever work for me. She is driving me nuts... Maybe I should go back to him and tolerate those business talks..." Khushi was raged...
"Wait and watch Khushi... Someone here is an old rival of ASR and will sure catch his attention... ASR needs to learn to keep a distance with that witch..." La knew few old acquaintances in ASR's life which could work...
"Yeah Karan, Khushi cooks out of this world..." La decided to help Khushi... It's high time ASR stop putting up with that clingy witch...
"So Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, it was love marriage for ASR and arrange marriage for you... That's quite an interesting story I must say..." Karan bugged Khushi...
"Yeah I guess" Khushi casually replied...
"Wow, so your family got his proposal and you said yes... It must be very interesting knowing ASR is so popular and big name..." Everyone was curious...
"But I never knew him much before marriage... His grandmother invited us at Raizada Mansion and we realized it was his proposal after seeing him there..." Khushi blurted out the truth being so naive...
"So interesting... All the women all over the planet are after ASR. ASR is the name to recon with so much talent, looks, acute business sense and the list goes on... And you are talking as if you married because your parents said so..." Rehan asked her...
"Believe it or not, I did" Khushi was brutally honest...
Arnav could see Karan was keenly talking Khushi while everyone else was listening and they were enjoying and he was instantly jealous... Karan was his rival from college when they both were popular back then and one of the girl he was dating left him and started dating Karan... Eventually even Karan and that girl broke up in two weeks too but the rivalry stayed...
"Hi there, seems to be some interesting conversation going on..." Arnav joined them all... He possessively held Khushi and snaked his hand around her waist...
"Yeah ASR, we were talking about your love marriage and her arranged marriage..." Karan enlightened him... Karan is happy go lucky guy who never realized ASR was still holding onto the old silly college day's rivalry...
"What's about their marriage?" Sheetal joined asking curiously... How can she stay back after Arnav left her to join his wife...?
"Nothing, it was love at first sight for ASR while Khushi here did not know ASR much before marriage..." Karan just mentioned...
"What's so funny about it? It's not as if we all know the whole world..." Khushi defended herself...
"But all the girls know ASR... The great Arnav Singh Raizada... The alpha male with so much talent, youngest and hottest business tycoon..." Sheetal immediately boasted about Arnav...
"Chill guys, how does it matter? Great news is they are happily married..." Ankit intervened looking at Khushi's lost face...
"Yeah, and we love each other now..." Arnav said looking at Khushi and she nodded smiling...
"But I mean it's amazing... What a love story? Prince charming of this world finds his love in a simple girl who doesn't know anything about him..." Rehan liked their story...
"It's normal in arranged marriages, no big deal" Khushi again defended.
"No big deal, you mean to say you would have married anyone your parents got for you..." Karan asked curious...
"Obviously, my parents would choose the best for me, so yes..." Khushi replied... She has no clue where this conversation is going...
"You mean to if your parents have said no, you would have said no to ASR? No to the great ASR?" Spat came the next question by Sheetal... It was a very obvious question to expect and even Arnav was curious to know her answer...
"You are not realizing simple thing here... I didn't know Arnav back then at all but I knew only my parents so if they would have said no, it's a NO from me too... If they said no, I would never meet Arnav to know him well..." Khushi made it simple...
Shock was an understatement for Arnav and everyone else... Sheetal smirked right there...
"So much for falling in love with a unique girl, ASR... She would have rejected you if her parents did... So you have to be really thankful to her parents I guess... For whatever reason, they chose you..." Sheetal laughed sarcastically...
Just then someone tapped on Arnav's shoulder and pulled him to talk with his business colleagues...
Arnav had to leave the conversation but it sure left a bitter feeling in his heart...
"Arnav wait..." Khushi tried to stop him but he was gone without looking back even once...
"Whatever it may sound to you guys, but I will follow the same path of arranged marriage without a flinch knowing it will make my parents and his Naniji so happy... And then Devi Mayya wrote Arnav, a real man in my destiny who honors, loves, respects and cares for me... When the first time I met him, I never knew he would be this important to me... Today he is the love of my life, means world to me... You all look at him as the ASR, business tycoon, hot and what not... But my Arnav is even better, I can't share anything about him though, because I am so possessive... All I can say is the world is not always perfect, we are still discovering each other out but our time together always seems perfect... I love him like crazy and he too is equally crazy for me. That's all that matters... Our love is way above our personal status or tall achievements he has..." Khushi replied cheekily and they all smiled looking at the glow on her face...
"Really amazing Khushi, You both deserve each other and suit each other... ASR's handsome and arrogant attitude versus your simplicity and innocent natural beauty... Ankit said in one go without hesitation..." He has always liked Khushi from the day one he met her and he was glad to help out Jiju and Di to bring ASR and her together...
By then Arnav was at the bar with his colleague but somehow Khushi's reply lingered in his mind...
Sheetal did hear Khushi expressing her immense love for Arnav after he left... But then she also knew Arnav didn't hear it... Then how can she not use this opportunity, after all she is here with a mission!
"ASR, I must say you have a very interesting love story... Is it still one sided? Gosh, the great ASR falls in love with a girl who... Let's just not say anything further..." Sheetal laughed and mocked him without any hesitation... It was like putting salt on his big ego...
He just remembered how Khushi left him alone and stayed at her parents for two days as soon as they returned from their honeymoon... Her Amma was okay but then she had to stay... He is so passionate and possessive about her but she is always shy so he doesn't know the depth of her love yet...
He knows she loves him but then she would have married anyone, anyone else than him? The thought really hurt him a lot... Even though that's how arranged marriages work, he felt she would have had a better answer for them...
He took another drink... Then another one... Sat at the bar lost and Sheetal giving him company and clinging to him as usual... Khushi didn't know what to do and was getting all worked up... La felt bad for her and didn't know how to rectify the situation any more...
Prologue: Beneath a Silent Sky The hills stood in solemn silence, their peaks wrapped in a soft mist, like ancient sentinels guarding the quiet...
