Mumbai

ASR went straight to his office and was working when his assistant Aman knocked at his cabin.

ASR : come in.

Aman place meal on the table boss it is lunch time.

ASR : hmm

Aman didn't leave the place, noticing this ASR raised his head and even his eyebrows were raised asking what is the matter.

At that time Aman's mobile rings. He looks at the display and receives it immediately.

Aman : not now.

......

Aman : I will

......

ASR : any problem.

Aman : nothing just making sure you have your medicine and lunch.

ASR : since when did you became my wife.

Aman murmured : since she has taken charge of your health.

Again Aman's mobile rings.

He tries to disconnect the call but instead it got recieved that to on speaker.

Khushi : Amanji did he had medicine.

ASR looks at Aman, he scratches his head and left the cabin without taking his mobile.

Not getting any response Khushi said : speakkkk... If not I will ask Di to call him.

ASR just kept on looking at screen and thinks to so this is how Di got to know about my medicine.

When still Khushi didnt get any reply she asked : is Arnavji infront of you.

ASR mutes the call and ask receptionist to send Aman....

ASR : tell her I have refused to take medicine.

Aman was suprised as he has already taken the medicine but yet says what he has been told.

Khushi : please Amanji tell him he will get sick.

ASR writes down tell her I am not ready to listen. Aman conveys it.

Khushi : enough now Di will make him have medicine and disconnects the call.

ASR : tell no one to disturb me even with phone call not even Di's too. Leave your mobile here and go

Aman : ok.

ASR turns his phone silent. Keeps his head on chair and rest for few minutes.

ASR : what do you want.... One side mohit is your boyfriend and other side you are so worried for me.. You have to choose this time and that too quickly. Let me see how much I matter to you.

Within seconds his screen started showing incoming call of his Di. After 5 rings it was finally Khushi's call again on Aman's number.

After 3rd bell he recieved the call.

Without waiting for other person to speak Khushi said : Amanji please go and check if Arnavji is ok.. He is not answering the call

ASR : why?

Khushi was shocked to hear hia voice.

ASR : why are you so concerned about me... after a pause... where is your boyfriend.

Khushi : jiiiii.... Which boyfriend.

ASR : Learn to speak truth .

Khushi : when did I lie..... And you leave truth and lie did you had your medicine.

ASR : why?

Khushi : what why all are worried for you... You get sick if you deal your medicine by 30 minutes already 20 minutes have passed away.

ASR : how do you know about my health so much

Khushi : why will I not know... Samantha ( ASR's US p.a.) reported dai....

She realizes what she has said so stops in mid sentence.

Khushi : please take it.

ASR : hmmm.

Khushi : what hmmmm. Did you had?

ASR : I have too much work.

Khushi : do I need to remind you for food too..

ASR : I said I have work

Khushi : thank you. Bye.

After she kept the call he silently ate his food and then continued with his work.

Next day

Khushi's room at 2 o'clock

Khushi is staring at her phone. Please ring. Where are you Arnav? I miss you since you have returned to India.

Flashback begins

The night Arnav reached U. S. at 2 o 'clock in day her phone ringed.

Khushi receives the call.

Khushi : hello

Arnav silent for few minutes then said Khushi I miss you and then the call got disconnected.

Khushi kept on staring at her phone. It became a daily habit for Arnav to call her at sharp 2 o'clock and just say this one sentence and disconnect the call.

Flashback ends

Khushi still looking at her screen says Earlier I use to pray that your sleep walking gets cured but now I wish it to remain the same atleast I was able to hear those magical words. Please call me.

At that very moment her phone rings and looking at the number she smiles.

Khushi : Hello

....

Khushi : ok Thanks

....

Khushi goes to Di.

Khushi : Di arnavji called and said you have to go to Lucknow.. There is some event where your presence is needed.

Di : chotte called you!!!!

Khushi : yes he said your number is not reachable.

Di : ok thank i will get ready .

As Khushi leaves from her room both Khushi and Anjali think that has Arnav used this call as an excuse for hearing Khushi's voice. This mere thought bought a smile on both faces.

In Mumbai

Arnav couldn't believe that he has called her and lied to her that he was unable to connect with Di. But what surprised him more was that he dialed her number without searching for it as if he has been doing it on daily basis.
