AR 

Sitting on her chair Khushi is looking at screen giving the impression for lookers that she is completely engrossed in presentation but the reality is different as her mind is full of thought about the person who is staring her like hawk as if given chance he will eat her alive she is feeling goose bumps on her body. She is feeling like giving him her mindful but she knows it will only complicate the thing as this is the only reaction he is expecting from her and behaving exactly opposite from his thought she had confused him. After seeing him here she has doubt that may be it’s all planed by him only otherwise why a company like AR will so persistent regarding the designer of a company who is not even close to their level. But the main question is why the hell he will do this as he is the one who left her ‘Ahhh...’ she is feeling like banging her head on wall this man will never let her leave in peace ‘Whatever he had planned you have to be strong... you can’t fall again in his trap in fact you have to show him that world doesn’t revolve around him like he thought... you are here for your family... as you can’t run so just face it’ when light are on Khushi came out from her thought.

“ASR” said Aman to his Boss who is looking lost.

“Yea... nice presentation Aman ... Ladies and Gentleman I think it’s enough for now ... Aman will show you your working place so get yourself comfortable ...Aman” said Arnav dismissing the meeting as he knows that he is not in the state of mind to continue it.

Everyone nodded their head and started to leave including Khushi. When Arnav saw Khushi leaving he called her from behind.

“Khushi ... can you stay for while... please” said Arnav on which Khushi nodded.

Meera was more shock now as for the first time she saw her boss requesting someone instead of ordering and that also with PLEASE and her jaw dropped but she closed her mouth looked down getting glare from her boss.

“Meera ... do you need any special invitation for moving out” asked Arnav.

“No ASR” replied Meera still in shocked state.

“If no then LEAVE Damm it why are you standing like statue” said angry Arnav.

“Sorry ASR” said Meera and left hurriedly.

After Meera left Arnav move toward Khushi. Indicating to chair he asked her to sit and he sited on chair next to her. Khushi agreed quietly making him more confused with her behaviour. Arnav was debating in mind how to start conversation. From the day he got to know about her he was preparing himself for this day only when he can ask her forgiveness even he had rehearsed this many time in front of mirror but today when he is sitting in front of her it getting difficult to even open his mouth asking forgiveness is far.

“Do you have to say something Mr. Raizada or you had stop me for only staring” asked Khushi getting irritated with his continuous staring session.

“Yes... actually... I want...I mean to say” started Arnav not knowing how to frame his apology.

“Can you please stop fumbling Mr. Raizada its looks like I am talking to some kid please say for what you had stop me as I don’t have full day to waste here and I hope you also” said Khushi cutting him in between.

“Sorry” said Arnav getting nervous with her attitude and calling him as ‘Mr. Raizada’ again and again but for now he had to concentrate on his apology.

“Again... sorry for what ... huhh... listen Mr. Raizada I think you had forgot what you have to talk... let’s do one think we just postpone this talk till you remember it ok... called me only when you have something to talk except your fumbling and stammering OK” said Khushi moving toward door when she felt a hold on her dupatta and heard a the statement which hault her movement.

When Arnav saw her moving toward door without giving him any chance to say he just held her dupatta for stopping her from moving but when he hold her dupatta a current passed in his body reminding him the time when he not only hold her dupatta but her also in his arm but he know this is not the time to think about past so immediately he composed himself and said what he wanted to say from past 7 years in one go.

“KHUSHI I AM SORRY” said Arnav in loud and clear voice.

“You don’t have to say sorry again and again for this Mr. Raizada just call me when you remember it will save both of us time” said Khushi making Arnav more confuse with her talk.

“I very well needed to say sorry and you also know this why so stop trying to change the topic OK” said Arnav.

At first he was shocked when she said that he don’t need to say sorry but when she cleared the reason he became furious because he knows that she is knowingly trying to change the topic ignoring his apology but he is not ASR for nothing he very well know how to get her back on topic and will do it.

“I don’t need to change topic Mr. Raizada and you can’t boss me around so behave properly with me because I'm not your employee to take your rudeness and arrogance” said Khushi in equal anger .

At first she thought that ignoring the this topic for now will give her some time to compose herself but guts of this man ordering her like she is the wrong one hear and he is victim ‘Bloody hypocrite’ muttered Khushi in her mind before giving him back.

“I’m not bossing you... I’m just trying to say something and you are not helping... why are you scared of something?” said Arnav with smirk raising his brows knowing that things are going the way he wants. He very well knows that Khushi can never back off from challenges and he is challenging her.

“I am scared really ... I waited for you to start Mr. Raizada you are the one who is wasting time in fumbling” said Khushi angry with his accusation and comment.

“Khushi please can we talk like a mature person please as you very well know that I’m not leaving this conversation incomplete and this argument is also not helping so please” said Arnav in calm voice hoping her to accept his request.

“Ok but don’t take much time as I’m not free like you” said Khushi taunting him while sitting back on her previous place as she know that she can’t back off now and also why  should she as she is not guilty one.

“Khushi I’m sorry... before you interrupt this sorry is not for any of my today’s behaviour but this is for the sin I had committed 7 years back” said Arnav looking down as he is not able to say this meeting her eyes.

“Mr. Raizada I don’t know about which sin you are talking but believe me I really don’t have time to waste so if have to talk something regarding work then say otherwise I will take your leave” said Khushi with indifference expression not giving him any idea of her inner conflict.

“SHUT UP Khushi ye kya Mr. Raizada ... Mr. Raizada lga rakha hai, aur tum aise kyu behave kar rhino ho jaise ki tum mujhe nhi janti” asked Arnav losing his patience by her ignorant attitude. (What is this Mr. Raizada... Mr. Raizada and why are behaving like you don’t know me”

“I am calling you Mr. Raizada because you are Mr. Raizada and regarding knowing you ... then I will ask Mr. Raizada why should I know you...  lagte kya hai aap hamare” asked Khushi challenging him. (who are you to me)

“Tumhe nhi pata mai kya lagta hu tumhara... nhi janti tum mujhe” asked Arnav perplexed with her behaviour. (You don’t know what I am to you?)

“NO Mr. Raizada I don’t know so may I leave now” asked Khushi in angry tone.

“Please Khushi I know I had done grave mistake in fact it is sin but please ... please forgive me I cant live like this please forgive me” pleaded Arnav with moist eyes.

“Stop it Mr. Raizada ... stops this NONSENSE right now...  I am fading up by your behaviour... I don’t know about which mistake or sin you are talking so please let me go” said Khushi controlling her tears.

“You very well know about which Mistake I'm talking so stop pretending and listen to me” said frustrated Arnav.

“BRAVO Mr. Raizada only you can do this ordering for forgiveness... heads off to you” said Khushi clapping.

“I’m not ordering Damm it I’m just asking for your forgiveness and for that I can do anything” said Arnav with determination.

“So you want my forgiveness and for that you can do anything right Mr. Raizada?” asked Khushi after thinking standing at her place.

“Yes” said Arnav Shocked by her change attitude.

“To fir suniye hamari mafi ke liye apko ek chota sa kam karna hoga ... aur jaise ki aap Mahan Arnav Singh Raizada hai apke liye to wo kaam bohut asan hoga ” said Khushi challenging him. (OK then so listen carefully for earning my forgiveness you have to do a very small job ... and as you are The Great Arnav Singh Raizada it will be very easy for you)

“Mai taiyar hu kuch bhi karne ko... tum batao bas kya karna hai” said Arnav accepting her challenge. (I’m ready to do anything... you just say what I have to do)

“Thik hai fir” said Khushi looking in his eyes she picked a Glass from table and dropped it on floor breaking it in pieces seeing this Arnav ran towards her and moved her aside before she hurt herself.(Ok then)

“Khushi tum thik ho” said Arnav holding her face in his hand. (Are you fine?)

“Ek minute Mr. Raizada ghabraiye mat hum koi aatm hatya nhi karne jar he... itne bhi khas nhi hai aap ki apke liye hum apni jaan de” said Khushi sarcastically removing his hand from her face. (One min Mr. Raizada... I’m not going to suicide... you are not that imp for me that I will give my life for you)

“To fir ye kya  tha” said Arnav getting irritated with her choice of words. (Then what is this)

“Ye... yhi to wo kam hai jo apko karna hai” said Khushi with smile. (This is the job which you have to do)

“Matlab” asked Arnav not getting her point. (Means)

“Matlab ki ... apko yani Mahan Arnav Singh Raizada ko agar hamari mafi chaiye to unhe... ye jo tute kanch ke tukde hai na unhe wapas se jodna hoga” explained Khushi. (Means... you Aka Great Arnav singh Raizada have to fix this broken glass for getting my forgiveness)

“What ... Khushi you know this is not possible” asked Arnav.

“Not possible... kyu possible nhi hai aap to Mahan Arnav Singh Raizada hai aap to kuch bhi kar sakte hai... app kisi ka dil tod sakte hai ... kisi ka bharosha tod sakte hai yha tak ki uski jine ki umid ko bhi tod sakte hai ... aur itna sab karne ke bad shaan ke sath mafi mang sakte hai... to fir ye mamuli se kanch ke tukdo ko aap nhi jod sakte” Shouted Khushi while crying. (Why It’s not possible as you are Great Arnav singh Raizada you can do any thing... you can break someone heart ... someone trust ... even their hope to live then why can’t this)

Arnav was quite as he don’t know how to make her calm as he is the reason behind her tears and misery and now seeing her like this he felt like dying he is breaking from inside.

“I think you have nothing to say more now so I'm leaving and never come behind me for apology as I'm not going to forgive you ever” said Khushi wiping her tears and collecting her files and bag left for exit.

“Khushi...” started Arnav but Khushi cut him in between.

“Miss. Gupta for you Mr. Raizada I don’t like outsider calling me by my first name... hope you will remember this” saying this she left leaving behind a broken Arnav who is looking at broken glass with tears in his eyes.
