ARSHI FF:ONE NIGHT STAND2 (Chapter 20)

Chap 20

 Trouble

Khushi was extra happy today. The fact that pulkit was recovering made her relax somewhere. She was going through a pretty tough time these days. She had put lot of things in stack. Not to forget she has lost her most precious thing. But today all her sorrows all her stress was out.

Pulkit and Khushi was destined to be together. His mom and dad took her responsibility when she was really small. After losing her mom and dad in a car accident she was all alone when Pulkit's parents had decided to keep khushi with them. But as the time passed and Khushi maturing she let their house and shifted in a rented house. She was a girl of principles after all. Something which she has got from her father. She never liked to be burdened on someone, no matter how close she was for them. Pulkit's mom loved her like her own daughter.

Pulkit was more of a friend to her with whom she has spent her entire childhood.

There was nothing between them which they couldnot discuss.

It was her board results when she got to know that she did pretty well. No doubt she had been an intelligent student. She was the topper of her school.

As she was poor the school decided to give her a scholarship for her further studies. She even go an interview call from a well known collage in London.

But to her luck Pulkit's mom and dad decided not to send her abroad as they were planning to get these two tie the knot very soon.

Khushi was initially very surprised and shocked by the news. She has never ever took Pulkit in that manner and it was extremely odd to think like that.

Same things happened with pulkit. He initially denied to get married to her, but after a long session of discussion with his parents he finally agreed to get married to Khushi just for Khushi's sake.

And after that everything started changing between them. Khushi had accepted the proposal just because she was obliged to his parents who took care of her. And whatever she has achieved in life she always thanked them.

They were trying to find out new meaning to their relationship and practically imposed a lot of things on them in order to workout this marriage.

But somehow khushi could never be able to physically attach with Pulkit. It was more of a mental bond which started growing between the two.

One month, two months, siz months, one year, three years.

Days passed their bond became stronger day by day. They became quite attached to each other in the process and finally gave it a name. Yes they were convinced their mind that they are in love with each other.

Khushi always looked out for him when she was upset and he also did the same.

They used to talk a lot about Arnav. She always found him very different than other men. Though he was a womanizer but somewhere she could relate to him.

They used to spend hours analyzing Arnav's character. And That's how Khushi got so familiar with the name.

One day Pulkit's dad passed had an acute heart attack and died. His mom became lonely so Pulkit decided to send his mom to London to his nanaji's place.

Pulkit had to stay back because of AR. He was an honest, hardworking and dedicated person. And he knew it very well how much his boss believed and relied on him. At that stage AR was going tough times settling their Dues and Loans and Pulkit was the only financial adviser who knew inside out.

That's when everything started becoming bad for both Khushi and Pulkit.

They got to know that his mother committed suicide and pulkit was totally shattered.

Things were again back to normal in few months. They decided to get married to each other and start their new life together. But turn of events made Pulkit suffer an accident and Khushi's life became miserable after that.

She tired her level best to save him. She sold everything that she had.

Rest we all know.

**

Khushi entered his cabin and cleaned his files which laid scattered around the table.

She felt happy thinking that she will get to see him after so long in the office.

**

Arnav stormed inside his cabin threw his coat on his sofa.

He glanced at khushi once. He saw her stand and then smile before she greeted him Good Morning.

He acknowledged her returning a tight professional smile. and then grumpily sat on his chair.

"Arnav Ji, shall I get you a cup of coffee?"

"No thanks was his serious relpy".

Khushi could sense some kind of tension. She just got up and made her away towards the canteen.

She made a cup of tea for herself and a cup of coffee for him and ascended towards his room.

She placed the cup on the table. He looked at the cup, gabbed and took a sip.

"thanks was his yet another serious reply.

"You are welcome" she smiled back to him and decided not to invade him at the moment.

He was furiously going through some papers and then slammed the file hand on the table "Damn It"

Arnav dialed some number and barked on the phone yelling at aman calling him inside his cabin immediately.

She glanced at him; stress was evident from his tone and body language.

She has never seen him so stressed in these days. She remained quiet and started doing her pending works.

**

Aman barged in and stood infront of him panting, holding a file in his hand.

"why didnot you keep the damn file on the table?" he asked him shouting at the top of his voice.

"Sir, woh actually, he looked at khushi who was sitting there but engrosed in her own work not paying attention to what her boss and Aman ji was conversing".

Arnav snatched the file from him and flipped the pages.

He held his head brushing his fingers against his hair "DAMN IT" he retreated.

Just then khushi saw him, but this time he looked more tensed and frustrated.

"Aman, those damn lawyers has called me yesterday evening. Why didnot you remind me this issue over the phone?"

How can you be so irresponsible? This is why I pay you? If you cannot do things you let me know and buzz off.

I just cannot tolerate inefficiency.

And you know it very well how serious is the matter.

I took some grace period from them and they have just agreed because I am ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA not any common man.

I thought I will be able to find a solution soon. But I just couldnot. I don't know where is my mind these days.

He thumped his foot on the floor in frustration.

I have to talk to my lawyers soon before its too late. Set an appointment immediately with them. Maybe today evening itself.

And listen that bugger female had called up

"You mean Soffie?"

"yes aman"

She has threatened me that she may reach any time in my house. i.dont.want.her.in.my.house. Talk to her, offer her money any damn amount, i dont care. but i dont want her near gul. Did you get that? I want all We have to find a way out. I need the property papers too.

He looked at Khushi once, she had no expression. By her face he could make out that she did not even pay any attention to what was going on in the room.

"And listen Aman, prepare Miss Gupta's papers immediately and give her AR's appointment letter. She doesnot need to serve her probation period which is of 6 months. I am happy with her performance so her intership also comes to an end today. Prepare back dated appointment letter for her. I don't want any legal harassment for this".

"Miss Gupta?"

Khushi immediately looked up and saw both the men. Aman was smiling at there aranv was amazed with her behavior. "Kya hai yeh Ladki? Ladki hai bhi ya nahi? Pehli baar kisiko dekh raha hoon who doesnot look interested in gossips".

Congratulations!!!

Khushi was confused. She blinked her eyes few times and was about to ask the reason when he reliped "you are being employed in AR".

Khushi's jaw dropped. Her mouth formed an "O". She lost all words, she was shocked, excited, what not. But she was dumbfolded.

"Miss Gupta, I want every damn report related to the upcoming fashion show and yes Rohit Agawal will be here soon".

"Rohit? Are you sure ASR?"

"We don't have a choice right now Aman, I had to take this decision because I wont be able to give 100% attention right now. The lawyers will be troubling me now and then. And also speak to NK and ask whether we got the delhi deal or not. Aslo ask whether he had spoken to Roshhi Singhania. You know she will not take my call, so ask NK to call her and get all the formalities done".

"you may leave now".

After aman left the room Arnav closed his eyes and pressed his temples with his palm.

"do you want another cup Arnav ji?"

Her voice was soothing. He opened his eyes and looked at her pretty face.

"Come here an sit, I need to talk to you".

Khushi nervously bit her lips but came forward and pulled the chair. She adjusted herself on the seat and folded her arms.

"look Miss gupta, I have giving you a very big responsibility. I hope you will do your work sincerely.

"Yes Arnav ji, I will try my best".

"Good and one thing I just want to warn you, be very professional when it comes to anybody in this office. ANYBODY. Except me and Aman with whom you can discuss, ask anything you want to. Keep in mind that this is office and there are lot of politics between employees. Try and avoid that as much as possible.

I am not asking you not to talk to them but don't get involved emotionally with them. It will be of no use. Don't think that I am scaring you by telling this. It is just and advice. Rest is upto you.

He looked at her statue state and sighed "Breadth now Miss gupta".

Just when he told her that she exhaled her held breadth.

"So all the best Miss gupta, I hope you will not disappoint me".

He got up from his seat and come towards her.

Khushi was about to get up when he said "and listen, try and stay away from Rohit Agarwal". Jitna zaruri hai utna hi baat karna. And don't ever be alone with him. if he tries to talk to you just ignore him politely. Not ever hesitate to talk to me or tell me anything at any point of time.

He held her hand and made her come close to him, he again touched her scare in the forehead and was lost in some emotions. Eveytime he touched her their she felt something alien in the pit of her stomach.

"Are you sure this doesnot hurt anymore?"

She looked at him and nodded no.

He was handsome, not as handsome as Arnav Singh Raizada, but he definitely had a charm. Who doesn't know Rishi Agarwal? The very famous Fashion Designer of the company

He was a Casanova and a notorious man. He had a never ending list for his bad body language towards Woman.

He entered AR in a very stylish fashion

His eyes travelled to each and every girl in the company when she saw a simple girl running here and there.

"Holy F*ck, who is she?"

"Her name is khushi and she is working directly working under ASR". A girl replied

"Oh sweety she is hot".

He looked at her lustfully.

"umm  it would be so fun to grind the naive soft chic, her A*s is just perfect for me to place myself. Who is this new chic in AR? Umm looks like a tasty treat for me."

He chuckled

"Chalo bariya hai my one month is set".

"Good friends kiss din kaam ayega? I am sure ASR will never refuse me. After all i have grown licking is left overs".
