Part 16

Khushi was sitting with bowl full of jelabies thinking about Arnav. She didn't like to eat. She had been thinking about her Arnavji all the time since she got to know about OXFORD. She wanted to know about him more. She is his wife but she knew nothing about him. Especially she wanted to know what the lies he has told her are. She was in leave as that day was Saturday.

She rushed towards Nani's room as she got an idea. Nani smiled at her.

Nani: Chotte is your husband. You have all the right to do what you want. Go ahead.

Khushi: What if Arnavji gets angry?

Nani: He won't. You can do it.

Khushi: Ok. But don't say it to him.

Nani: Surprise?

Khushi nodded yes and rushed to the kitchen. She prepared lunch for him and packed it in hotboxes. Nani came to kitchen to see her preparation.

Nani: Wow Khushi bitiya, you made Chotte's favorite dishes...

Khushi: Will Arnavji like it? She asked curiously.

Nani: Undoubtedly.

Didn't Nani know how Arnav is in love with Khushi? He is going to be stunned seeing how his wife took effort for him.

Nani asked Mohan to take Khushi to AR. Don't know why, Khushi felt nervousness in her heart. Mohan dropped her in AR premises.

 Khushi's jaw dropped seeing the grandness of AR. She had seen this kind of royal office only in movies. Its majestic look was enough for her to know the status of her husband.

So, this is AR. Arnavji wants her to work here. She felt proud. Why not? As per Khushi, this royal office is waiting for her service. She started taking steps confidently.

Receptionist saw a girl going inside AR.

Recep: Excuse me, where are you going?

Khushi: I'm going to meet Arnavji.

Recep: Do you have appointment?

Khushi nodded no.

Recep (sarcastically): Very funny. You came to meet ASR without appointment? What do you think of him? Do you know how many VIPs are waiting for his appointment?

Khushi was little taken aback. She took deep breath.

Khushi: I don't know that.

Recep: Then you can't meet him. You can go.

Khushi: Excuse me, I'm Khushi Kumari Gupta...(pause) Singh Raizada. Arnavji's wife.

Receptionist got horror- stuck at her stance. She ran her eyes on Khushi tip to bottom. She couldn't believe this simple girl can be Mrs. Fashion king. That's when a staff of AR who knew Khushi well crossed the reception. He rushed towards her.

Staff: Ma'am... you are here?

Khushi: I came taking Arnavji's lunch.

Staff: Please come in Ma'am. I will show you his cabin.

Receptionist gulped seeing the scene. So she really is Mrs. ASR. The staff took her to Arnav's cabin. She got mesmerized in his classy glassy cabin. First time Mrs. Raizada's legs shivered to stand there.

Staff: ASR is in conference. You can wait here until he comes.

Khushi nodded ok and the staff left Arnav's cabin. Almost Khushi felt dizzy thinking her husband's business status. Her husband was ruling a kingdom which she was unaware of.

Khushi(in mind): How big this office is? Seems like, he couldn't handle this office alone. Poor Arnavji, That's why he needs a talented like me for his help. Don't worry Arnavji, I will help you after my studies. (She said feeling sad.)

She kept the lunch bag on the table and gave a look to his office. Her eyes popped out seeing miniskirts and sleeveless tops. She closed her mouth to control the hiccup. Is her Arnavji working with them? She swallowed hard.

Seems like, it will take time for Arnav's arrival. She left the cabin. When she came downstairs, She heard the staff who led her to Arnav's cabin and Receptionist talking.

Recep: I can't believe she is Mrs.ASR. How could anyone think a country girl can be wife of Fashion King? I thought Msr.ASR would be like Ms. India.

Staff: Shhh.... Mind your words. You will lose your job if you talk unwanted.

Khushi pouted hearing that. They stopped talking seeing Khushi.

Staff: Are you leaving Ma'am?

Khushi: Seems like Arnavji will come late.

Staff: Doesn't ASR know your visit?

Khushi: No, I just wanted to surprise him.

Staff: I can inform your presence if you want.

Khushi: No, don't disturb him. I'm leaving.

Khushi was about to leave...

Recep: I'm sorry Ma'am, I'm new here. I didn't know who you are.

Khushi (in mind): There you are Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada.

Khushi: Don't worry. I won't tell Arnavji about your rude behavior towards me. You are forgiven.

She said with her head up and left the place. Receptionist gulped hard looking down.

After a while

Taking break for lunch, Arnav came to his cabin with Aman. He saw the bag was being kept on the table. He frowned seeing that. He called the Receptionist and asked her.

Arnav: What bag is this?

Recep: Your lunch Sir.

Arnav: Who kept it here?

Recep: Your wife sir....

Arnav(shocked): What???? Khushi came here?

Recep: Yes sir.

Arnav(looking at his watch): At what time did she come?

Recep: Half an hour ago sir..

Arnav (shouting): Why didn't you inform me?

Recep: I supposed to do sir, but Ma'am stopped me.

Arnav(gritting his teeth): What the... kkkk.... You should have informed me immediately when you got to know that she is my wife.

Recep: Sorry sir...

Arnav: Go to hell with your sorry.

He disconnected the call frustrated.

Aman: Did Khushi come here?

Arnav (nodded yes disappointedly): For the first time she had came here but I couldn't receive her.

Aman: Don't feel bad yaar. Have your lunch which was prepared by your wife with lot of love.

Arnav: I don't know what she felt not seeing me.

Aman: I wonder. (Arnav looked at him with disinterest) I'm watching you since days; you aren't using the word "DAMN IT" even in your anger. He said controlling his smile.

Arnav(smiling wearily): As my wife gave a new meaning to it.

Aman: So it belongs to only Msr. ASR then?

Arnav(chuckled): I'm leaving. She won't eat without me I suppose.

Aman: Will you come back?

Arnav: I have no idea. You just continue the conference.

He left taking the lunch bag. Aman admired his friend's unbelievable change and patience towards his wife. As Arnav expected, Khushi didn't eat lunch. She was sitting in the pool side after changing saree, looking at crystal clear water. But we can't say her mind was also clear. She was in extreme confusion that how should she behave with her husband. What a man her husband is? How simple he is?

She remembered what Receptionist asked her.

"You came to meet ASR without appointment? What do you think of him? Do you know how many VIPs are waiting for his appointment?"

As per the Receptionist's utterance, No one could meet him without appointment. Many VIPs are waiting to meet him. What she thought of him was pathetic. He is not what she thought. He is an unimaginable man. Be it by his status or be it by his brilliance.

What will be his reaction on "lunch bag" issue? Will he shout at her for coming to AR without his permission? She believed that he would call her after coming from conference. But she was surprised when Arnav came home with the lunch bag. Her series of thoughts got broken by her husband's manly voice. She stood there getting amazed. She felt kind of nervousness.

Khushi: Arnavji app?

Arnav: Why did you leave AR without meeting me?

Khushi: You were in conference and your staff said that you will be late.

Arnav: So what if I was in conference? You should have called me. I would have taken break if I had known your presence.

Khushi: I didn't want to disturb you.

Arnav: But I will be disturbed if my wife hesitates to disturb me.

Khushi went speechless. He didn't shout at her as she thought. Would he take break to meet her? Khushi was looking at him without blinking.

Arnav: Khushi..... Where were you lost?

Khushi (stammering): Did you have lunch?

Arnav: Did you have your (he stressed) lunch?

Khushi: Don't you know I won't eat without you?

Arnav: Then you too get to know I too won't eat without you.

Khushi(stumbling): Why?

Arnav: Because my Amma advised me that I should not eat without my wife. (He mimicked her.)

Khushi chuckled and faced tough time to be normal.

Arnav: Let's eat, I'm hungry.

Khushi took the lunch bag to go downstairs, Arnav held the bag.

Arnav: We will eat here.

Khushi nodded ok and removed the boxes and plats from the bag. She arranged them on the tea table and served it. Arnav smiled seeing his favorite food items.

Arnav: Is this all your preparation?

Khushi: Yes. I was free from the morning. So I asked Naniji's permission to prepare your lunch. she readily agreed.

Arnav: Who told you about my favorite food?

Khushi: None. I know what you like.

Arnav stopped eating and smiled looking at his plate.

Arnav: Do you really know what I like?

Khushi: Haan... I know what you like to eat and don't like to eat.

Arnav: How do you know?

Khushi: I observed you every time.

Arnav: Amma told you to do so? He teased.

Khushi: Nooo. This is completely my interest to observe you.

Arnav: what made Msr.ASR observe me keenly?

Khushi: What do you think Arnavji? This is a simple task which every wife does. I didn't do anything big like you did.

Arnav (curiously): Like me? What I did?

Khushi: You are doing many things for me. You made me join in college, spoken English class, Gave money, teaching my lesson, encouraging me...

Arnav(cutting her): Because you deserve it.

Khushi: But I wouldn't have gotten those if I had been married to someone. I got everything because of you.

Don't know why her gesture made him vulnerable. As he was not prepared for this unexpected situation he didn't know what to do. He gulped a glass of water.

Arnav: Your preparation is so tasty. Thanks.

Khushi got stuck on his THANKS. Was not she the one who ought to thank him for everything he provides her?

Khushi: You are welcome Arnavji.

Arnav sensed something different in her gesture. The eagerness which she always shows was missing. There was confusion in her face. Why?

To be continued.......

Today's Inkitt update.

Own Rules of Khushi

Arnav's phone woke him up ululating early in the morning. After squeezing his eyes, Arnav picked it up. He rolled his eyes as Aman's name was flashing.

Arnav: Yahhhh..

Aman: Good morning ASR.

Arnav: Good morning.

Aman: You have to be in AR at 8'o clock as you left the conference in the middle yesterday.

Arnav: Yah, I will be there.

He disconnected the call and his eyes fell on the beautiful sight of his sleeping wife. His lips curved into cute smile. He tucked her hair strand which was falling on her face. He folded his hands recollecting her yesterday's convo. What happened to her suddenly? She talked totally opposite to Khushi Kumari Gupta? Somehow he was happy about it. Seemed like, she started realizing something. Arnav closed his eyes as he saw Khushi moving. She rubbed her palms and chanted a mantra while looking at her palms keeping them together.
