India:
“Madam,do not worry. We will find out them! “
“I had warned you guys, What are you guys taking money for?”
“Sorry madam. But we are trying to find out. We did not knew they would find some thing so soon and before we actually arrived the door was locked.”
“HOW COULD YOU BE SO CARELESS? IAM PAYING YOUR TEAM A LUMSUM AND YOU CAN’T EVEN DO THIS SIMPLE THING. KEEP AN EYE ON SOMEONE?. NOW LOOK FOR THEM,
FIND OUT THE NEAREST TRAVELLERS, CONTACT THEM, AND WHAT THE HELL WAS OWNER DOING ? DID NOT YOU GIVE HIM SUFFICIENT MONEY TO KEEP AN EYE On THEM”
“Sorry madam. Will find out soon”
When the call got disconnected, the man barged to other subordinates to quickly check on near by transport travellers who could have helped Gupta family in shifting., while the women at other end could not stop mentally cursing Khushi to enter in Arnav life. Oh hell, the women was suffering from Obsessive love disorder(OLD) stage 3. A psychological disorder where a person is extremely domineering about the thing or person in a possessive way. They get alarm for that third person who might possibly destroy all their relations. They will not be in a state to accept that the person they are affectionate towards have already broken up. In simple they cannot see the person whom they are in crazy love with somebody else. The mind keeps on creating it’s illusion theories and gives the final motive to keep harming that third person. Although their usual life will be absolutely normal.
Lavanya throws her medicine in fury. I am ok. Why do have to take these tablets. Arnav one day, will come back to me.He has to.! Just matter of time.

Shanghai
“Howin the world you had my PERSONAL number? He asked digging straight into her eyes, stressing on the word personal. That left her in blow.She remained to be silent.
Silence
She was quiet,engulfing herself.
“I asked you something KHUSHI?” He firmed his grief, her silence was disturbing, irritating, making him out of patience, if anytime he has so muchinvested his emotions on someone.
“Ouch.”.she sighed in pain when his ROLEX platinum watch hit her metallic bangle (Don’t worry, she won’t bleed here..; Don’t assume anything ;))
“How in the world you know I don’t know Marathi?” his eyes changing their dynamics .
SILENCE. probably she was suddenly not prepared for this question coming in nick of time.
“Speak!. Why are you silent now?
“Meri marji mai kyu batao aapko? “ She spoke after such a long pause and with such an attitude, that did not go again well with him.
“Thori der pehlai to bahut kuch suna rahi thi?” ,What was that you were shouting in exposed air? Who gave you that rights to speak in the name of Arnav Singh Raijyada? He was provoking her again.
What was that? Common..come again? He demanded
Something like..A for Attitude? , R for ??? He spoke fixing his eyes on her
“RUDE” She spoke finally bit louder,
A moment of stillness. Challenging each others eyes.
“Aren’t you now behaving me with the same?”As she said now with confidence, he greeted his teeth and looked sideways.
“Tumhe pata bhi hai violent ka matlab kya hota hai…? Looking back at her he spoke again, making his grip tight.
He paused suddenly and then his husky voice repeated” And what was that you spoke in mararthi..? BAVLAT, BEAKAL, , aur kya kyag ali di muje? And oh I suppose , kadwa karela really?
He pushed himself bit closer to her and spoke in low tone..Only if you had that luxury of being with the actor , ASR , the sexiest Asian model,you would be knowing how well iam really bitter?; Wanna s?
“Whaat ar youuu saying?” Her voice now with pain stricken,brain trying to quickly analyse the meaning of the sentence he spoke.
“DARR gayi?”
“Muje kisi sai darr nahi lagta”
“Oh!, he curved his eyebrows.””then why Marathi?” Did not have guts to face me speaking straight?“Or say Miss Gupta don’t want to take any risk to speak her mind out?directly?oh dam ASR eminence and giving him direct challenge?
He was searching for answers. “I will consider the later than? Seems like Khushi Gupta run away from challenges?
“I never run away. I have proved many times” Khushi replied when he revoked her again.
“Then why are you running away accepting to take new AR role? Too scared to take challenging roles?” As he sad, she briefed his face. What is he suddenly speaking about my rejection of AR offer? He knew?
“I am not scared. I have some commitments” she replied looking down.

“Oh I see, shaadi ki jo jaldi hai tumhe.” His voice was highly irritable. He could not consider the news what Akash finally gave to Manohar few minutes before.
********************************************************************
“A quick meet ?” Akash comes in and there began a series of discussion on promotion, shares division to be given to some higher employees of local Chinese employees, performance analysis and the impact. It was always difficult for Arnav to sit infront of Akash for long time. Some people don’t charm you enough and you have that an irritating feeling engulfing you ,and he was one in arnav’s eyes, possible reason that the affair he is having with Anjali. Arnav did not entertain in the matter much, as it was least interested thing for him to involve in all these company politics. He finally got up from the chair when the discussion on promotion began and moved near windows. Shuffling with things around, mainly the artifects kept near the wooden rack, he heard Akash taking Khushi ‘s name. That definitely made him attentive at sudden. It was regarding Khushi getting offered to work for AR group, directly with Parent company.
“Khushi is in no terms to accept the offer”Akash spoke. “It was a clear NO.”
“Strange!.That was a good offer. Reason?” Manohar spoke, He once thaught he would personally offer the top position in the company, but he left to Akash,considering he would be right person.
“Personal Issue is what she could all say. Infact she is leaving India in another 4 days. That itself came as surprising news for me” As Akash finished, Arnav was however left taken aback.
“Oh that’s not the good news. She was a good resource.” Manohar spoke.
“ Is she mad, or not in sense to reject this valued position. ” The part of Arnav ‘smind spoke within him
********************************************************************
“It’s my personal matter” she took her eyes away from him. He looked disturbed suddenly and it didnot miss from her sight when she looked back towards him.
“aur waise aapko kyu pharak padh raha hai? I join with AR or I go India, get married, whatever..Apko kyu pharak padh raha hai. Mr raijyada?”
“Oh that was one dead arrow shot, he was fora minute left in blank state. Oh hell Right she was, why did I feel bad for her, when the news of her leaving the AR group came in? Why the hell did I feel bad when I heard she rejected the top level post, a post which could have change the dynamics of her career, for all the talent , intelligence she posses. For all that she is capable of doing , she would make it waste, if she sacrifice her career for a dam thing called MARRIAGE.
“Don’t do this khushi. You have all the potential to rise to great height. Don’t let your credibility go waste. Don’t.. “ All that he suddenly felt , he could not put out of his mouth. “Well, he was still not able to anser himself. Why she affects him so much.
“You still haven’t given the anser to me?” oh the well, good actor he was,he quickly threw the ball in her plate to avoid to answer the obvious “kyu pharak padta hai”, well he was still searching from the time he met her.
“Ok, If you insist!. So Mr Raijyada, I had asked you, what kind of Son you are?
“What nonsense!”
“I am not yet done”
“How much you love your father?”
“Shutup”What the hell she was trying to tell
“Oh gussa aaya? Kyu? You were insisting me to speak right. Ab himmat rakhiye sunne ki..
Consider the fact that, if your loved one has fallen sick, and some third person has come to his rescue,and I suppose, 99% people in this world , who have heart will take no less time saying a simple word “Thank YOU”. I was like “How come Arnav did not even say this?” isn’t some one deserves a bit for the price of saving your father life. Infact all normal people will do I think”she continued.“How can you take things granted?”
His brows fumed
“Oh I see. So the problem is there? You assumed, since that you have saved ASR father life?, he would come and appreciate you, then he will take you for dinner, a candle night dinner maybe..and then gifts? Its rare to fall good place in ASR heart right” he cunningly winked.
“NO Mr Raijyada wrong. I am not upset for what you thought”
“Agreed,I felt strange , I fel terribly taken back when you did not even have courtesy to convey me, and I still not able to digest, how could you not when you love your father so much…but that did not made me upset.”
She paused , and then continued.
“You see, there was a person in my life without whom I never imagined anything. I felt happier when I used to walk holding his hands, we would go for long walks.We would in evening many time go to our favourite sweet and snacks shop and spend the precious time,
“What she is trying to tell? , Love saga?Oh if any other girl would have been saying this emotional, he would have left the place in a blink of an eye, but he stood there, all his ears and eyes opened for her.stating I am listening, but …case of Broken heart?
. We would sit together and watch old hindi movies.. I would just wait for him to tell all my problems and he had solutions for all of them,he made me laugh, he made me to see world indifferent perspective,..I adored him, I loved him..but one day,
he stopped coming to me….he stopped holding my hands,..he stopped walking with me…he stopped eating with me….he stopped going out with me….he stopped TALKING with me..
“by the time , Arnav could see her eyes full, a state which he had never seen before..
“HE stopped talking to ME” she repeated the same, a child like innocent statement,now those droplets were finally making to her cheeks. He could see that,..
“I wondered, How could he do to me?.I loved him so much. For 2 days I shut my selfin close door..trying to digest the fact he be will be there for me, But he would never be the SAME PERSON AGAIN..
“Mr Raijyada, my father had suffered a paralysis attack and he would not talk and walk anymore like before ..Many days I just saw him in that same hospital bed. It took her mind back to childhood memories of barefoot strolls down dusty lanes
His gaze ran over her face searching-may be surprised that she spoke her mind. Her throat constricted and she pushed the thought from her mind. She inced as she stood ,and glanced up into those dark eyes that gave every indication he could read her mind. Tears filled her eyes again, but she forced the water to fight
Arnav looked away from her. Her father!. He could not digest the news. “Oh dam, he remembered the statement he told her the previous night when she was showing sympathy? How could I be so disheartened some time?What happens to me?
“You were right. How should I feel the pain right? How would I understand right seeing someone on ICU?
“But yeah. I don’t like someone to show me sympathy too!. For the same reason, what my father thought me.To be fearless, to be happy , to enjoy the moment, and to provide selfless care and love..That what made me help your father in first place. Shayad koi aur bhi hota to mai karti..because there should not be some son or daughter who should not go to same pain, what I underwent!...and that I give the word HUMAINITY
“If iam happy, ia m laughing it does not mean, I don’t have any pain burned in my heart? ““Sirf ham dikahte nahi hai ARNAV SIR” She stressed out specifically SIR , considering the clients they were and he was boosting of that many a time and his prominence.
Till then, he had reproached her in his heart and tried to depise her, but he now felt so sorry for her that there was no room in his soul for reproach
“I am So” he was short of many words. He was struggling for words and wished to form itself on his behalf. Khsuhi sensed he was struggling.
“Trying to tell me Sorry? Oh.How can you?. You are star, Asia’s super model? It won’t go with your charisma or I say status?”
Struggling Struggling..Fist tightened
“Shayad koi aur hota to aap shayad bol dete. Its ME and that’s’y I think you won’t or may be you can’t..”
He turned his gaze back from her. There was a long silence in a room for few seconds.
Khsuhi, looked at him, turned and was making her way towards door, when he caught her hand suddenly and said
“I am Sorry” There followed a long pause, followed by an abrupt thank you. Shayad koi aur hota to mai kabhi nahi bolta.. Its U and thatsy ,” his other side of brain spoke inside him.
He whispered over and again.”Iam sorry Khushi”
She was silent, emotional old memories were already playing havoc in her mind.
“I am sorry.. I never meant to” he said again. This time Khushi felt the warmth of his hand. The hold was different, the words were different, the affection was different, the voice was different and the attitude was different….the hands were clutched for long few seconds, before both of them realized they have held for long time.
Both of them slowly released from each other grip.

He never allowed anyone but khsuhi to see that side of him, the sudden emotional state he was in. Khsuhi was silent for a second and suddenly she was in her own state of mind.
“Did you tell something?” Arnav asked looking confused at her
“huh?..No.. nO…!.. nothing. “
He then for a first time gave a slight smile, and confused khushi returned him back with same slight curve.”Both were uncomfortable suddenly. Too much non sense, Too much drama..too much emotion..and then suddenly they were silent!”
She turned back to open the door, when he held his hand on door handle and opened it fo rher!.which left khushi surprised..
“MALAI Kofta-> KADwa KARELA “
“KADWA KARELA – MALAI KOFTA”
“mALAI KOFTA sai ab RASMALAI?”
“RASMALAI!????” she engulped. No khushi..
She just smiled back at him. When Arnav was making his way towards Manohar cabin, he heard Khushi calling him out.
“Yes?” he responded in question.
“To ek vel hota, jevha amchi tumchya shi dhadak jhali, kahi tari asa ghadale, ki amhi harvun gelo. To vel pan baiman hota, pan khup sundar hota. Kahi tari apale asa milale, amhi vicharkela nahi, phakt aplya kada sambhalun thevun ghetla”
“What! ?”
Khushi grinned
“If you can decode this, you will get the answer for how in this dam world I got your PERSONAL number and much more and yes thanks for confirming me , you still don’t know MARATHI..for a minute I thought you literally knew..when you said the meaning of you know..BAVLAT …. BEAKKAL
She grinned..
“Unbelievable.Exactly 5 mins before she cried and now she is mad again!.
“Miss Gupta., For all the things you can code , I don’t have dam free time in this world to decode this stupid thing. I am Arnav Singh raijyada. Remember? Sexiest actor and the model , 40 percent share holder in the company in which you are working…..and I guess for that it might not be so difficult for you to get my number. Feel yourself Lucky” He smirked and went away.
That left our poor khushi ‘s eyes and mouth wide open.
************************************************************
Back at the cabin, Arnav saw his father smiling, the smile which he has not seen in recent times. . Only if he knew manohar came almost to Anjali’s cabin to check for something, and that he did not miss to see Arnav apologizing..
“Milti hai zindagi mein Mohhabbat kabhi kabhi…”the song was now that was currenly playing in the cabin.
“Not again dad!’ He howled, but this time, his expressions were not bad.He opened his Ipad and was busy with some mails,
“dad,you were going to East Nanzing, you had some work “
“Yeah.I will leave in a minute. Not that important though, but its good long ride”
“Ok then, I need rest, I would be at home. I will have lunch there” Arnav replied. Before manohar could reply, Khushi knocks the door with laptop in her hand.
Khushi smiled at manohar and eventually to Arnav who remained calmed as if nothing happened few minutes before.”Ajeeb hai..say cheese Mr Arnav!.” She murmured.
“Sorry Sir, I just happened tosee your mail.You asked me to meet “ Khsuhi spoke facing manohar.
“Since Akash is not in, can you show your analysis to Ricard now and mail me details?”
“Ok sure Sir. But I had some bank work in east Nanzing. I would send after I come. Its bit something urgent. I need to leave right now.”
“Sure. Not a problem.” He paused, then he looked at Arnav.
“thank you sir.”
“See you in evening celebration then”
“Sure Sir”. She smiled and now looked at where Arnav was standing and turned back immediately.
“Khsuhii?” She heard manohar calling and she faced him back
“Yes Sir?”
“By the way, Arnav was going to the same place. He paused and continued looking at Arnav
. Arnav why don’t you drop her off.“
This left both Arnav and Khushi surprised.Both looked at each other and then to Manohar.
Kyu Milti hai nazar
Kyu hota hai Asar
Kyu hoti hai sahar
Na tum jaano na hum
While Manohar could next think of only one song—
Aaj mausam bada beiman hai bada beiman hai……
