My dream come true...
Chap4
Special Gift...s....
-oh that’s
a lot beta…it’s only Payal Birthday and you have to gift us all?...it’s just…we
can’t accept!
Garima said
looking at all the packed boxes…
-it’s…nothing…aunty…wo…I
consider you as my second family!...Maan is like a brother for me, will never
forget what he did to me!
Maan just
hold his shoulder:
-oh come
on!
Arnav
smirks to his friend and Khushi smiles to him…
So, shashi
got a new watch…
-it’s…well…what
can I say, beta!...I’m feeling like it’s Christmas time!
Shashi
laughed…khushi giggled helping him lock the watch around his wrist…
Shashi
looks at it proudly…
-thank you,
beta!...it’s too much but we can’t refuse a gift!
He winked
to Arnav…shashi was a cool father…
Garima
sighed before the precious fabric she has on her hands and the beautiful blue
color of the saree she’s seeing…she’s all silent…
While Maan
was looking at the elegant new shirt…Payal at the new brown purse she had…but
Arnav has only his eyes on Khushi…
She’s his
pearl…
His
precious pearl…
And how to
not gift her that necklace?
rare, fine,
admirable, and valuable…exactly like her and like his love for HER…
those
pearls …he has imagined them touching her neck…sleeping in there on her
softness…matching with that milky color of her skin…
her sister
helped her putting it while Garima was already smelling something fishy…she
smelled it the moment he insisted to have some rice…the moment he gifts to all
of them…this necklace was precious she knows…those pearls were not faked
ones…God only know…how much they are expensive…and all those gifts are
expensive…
she’s a
mother but first a woman and those eyes of Arnav to her little daughter…she can
understand!
she knows
that they are doing staring at her angel but no…nooooo!!!!
Garima:-look
beta…a gift can never be refused…but I should refuse…
she looked
at Shashi…his smile vanished and he took off the watch…
Arnav:-aunty!...but
it’s my all pleasure…it’s just an honor if you just accept!...I just will feel
hurt if you don’t accept!
Oh…this
boy!...what my poor angel is doing in the office of this boy!!!!!???...Garima
thought and nodded:
Garima:-alright
but it will be the last time!
Khushi
clapped and Payal takes a deep breath…excited she opens the other gifts of her
family…they are many, especially from Khushi…she buys little cute things to her
sister…Arnav was amused…many teddy bears and Payal was just pissed off with all
those childish gift but Khushi was the one amused…
Shashi:-ok…we
start with the gifts and we forget about the cake…come on my Payal!
*****
That wasn’t
a dream…
She does
feed him the chocolate cake…
K:-little
bit will never harm!
She said
smiling…holding the piece of chocolate cake…
K:-I’m sure
she’s so lucky!
Who?...but
he’s the one who is so lucky…he looks with a questioning eyes…
-the…you
know…
She winked…
-pehla
pehla pyaar hai…pehalee pehalee bar hai
Jan ke bhee anjana, kaisa meraa yar hai...
Jan ke bhee anjana, kaisa meraa yar hai...
She singed
while hugging her sister from behind but still looking straight at his eyes,
looking so amused…
The family
feed each other…
Arnav
accepted another little piece from Shashi…Shashi liked Arnav already…this boy
is always polite and respectful…
****
K:-stay
more!
Khushi said
when she’s seeing he’s searching his coat by eyes…
K:-what
about tea?
She asked
while they want all to go to bed…
A:-No…it’s
very late! I should go!
If he could
he will stay…but no…
A:-I got a
very good time! Really…I’m…
Maan:-come
on, Arnav! I hate when you start with your polite way! Come!
He said
pulling him by his shoulder…
Maan:-here!
He gives
him a box full of sweets (sugar free) from the Gupta’s shop...
Maan:-made
by my own hands!...special for the ASR!
Maan said
proudly…and in an amused tone…
M:-here we
spoiled girls!
He said
looking at Payal and khushi…
M:-here…one
is so feminist and thinking a lot about women rights to enter the kitchen and
the other…she can’t even succeed cooking rice! Who will marry you, guys?
Khushi just
pulled out her tongue…and Payal walks away from there, blabbering some words
about equality and men and women…
Arnav can’t stop smiling…he wanted to talk with
Maan but was unable to spoil this happiness…

****************************************
still in Gupta's house:
-come here!
-my queen?
-shut up!
-why we are
here in the bathroom, mum?
-shup!
Graima
locked the door…crossed her hands and looks at Khushi…
-talk!
-maa…I’m
clean! I take bath every morning, I swear…but here, I can’t…I’…
-noooo!
Garima shouted
at the same time keeping her voice not so out loud…
-between
him and you…
Garima
pointed the pearl necklace…
Khushi
looks at her, she can’t understand…
-who, maa?
-who?...your
boss? Of course!
-oh…you
even noticed that!...he’s becoming every day more in love…deeply in love…here,
you just see a little…what if you come to office!...he’s even more
troubled…thinking a lot…dreaming a lot!
She smiles
innocently to her mother…
-are you
crazy or stupid to told me this, sanka devi?...you both are in love??? And
you’re acting like everything is perfect!
-maa?
Garima
looks straight at her eyes…
-what???
Mumma…you think…you think…me…and…Mr. Raizada…what?
Khushi
started giggling and Garima has now trouble to shut her daughter giggles….
-oh…my
maa…how innocent you’re…it’s just the funniest thing I heard ever maa…you’re
really sweet…but he’s my boss…my boss…means he’s like my teacher maa…and maa,
he’s old…so old…
-old? How
old is him?
-how old is
him? Well…I don’t know…maybe 40!
-40?
Garima
asked all pissed off…
-you’re not only crazy…you’re crazy and stupid!
All because of your father and brother!!! They spoiled you too much!....but you
know, time to take care of you and Payal!...will see!
Khushi pouted…
***
In her room, the only thought Khushi has is:
HIM…
Her Boss…
ASR…
How her mum could think that there is a
relation between them?
It can’t be!
It’s more impossible than the impossible
itself!
She smiles…
-Mum is so innocent!
She said out loud…
She received a pillow shout…
-sleep…stupid!
Said payal looking at her…
-Payal?
-hmmm?
-what do you think of ASR?
-a Man!
-Payal!
-rich!
-Payal!
Khushi looks at her, waiting to hear more…
-respectful! Nice....good looking…I mean he’s
handsome…well…ok…he’s…hot (she whispered the last word)…but he’s a man!
-so?
Payal looks at her…
-a man…means he’s selfish, he’s of course
egoist, greedy, mean, I can see all this through his gaze!...and he’s
exploiting you at work!
Khushi nodded innocently…
-see…his dark side! Be careful khushi!
Khushi nodded more worried…
-I see the way he’s looking at you…he’s
planning to make you suffer!
Payal was teasing Khushi but saving all her
serious look to make her fear her boss…Khushi was all the way nodding
innocently…and fear in her eyes was so clear…
-he has the look of a vampire…moreover we didn’t
see his teeth…did you see them?
-once…maybe twice!
-see!...he’s a vampire and maybe one day…he
will…
Khushi was bitting her lower lip in fear…
-he will suck your blood!
Payal shouted while khushi was feeling so scared
but with that Payal giggled and she starts tickling her innocent sister…Khushi conscious
about her sister game to fool her…tickled her also…
Both sleep so late at night and Khushi has wake
up so late next morning…
For the first time, she comes to office that
late…
She knows that once her boss has fire an employee
for being late…just for 15 min…but here she’s late for 30 minutes…
30 minutes…
If she doesn’t give an appropriate excuse…she
can say BYE to her job!
