M4 - Mera Mafia Mera Mahiya

Part - 5

Hello, my lovely reader!
Sorry to keep you waiting. The flu has made me so cranky that I lost my mind. Today I feel slightly better and more coherent. So here is the next update of M4.

Khushi POV

"You are nuts Khushi Gupta. Tumne uss mobster ko propose kar dia?!"
(You proposed that mobster?!)

"Relax La. Humne bas ek idea share kia."
(I simply shared an idea).

We were sitting in the college canteen eating french fries. Well, I was the only one eating. Lavanya chose to pace around our table. She did not appreciate my thoughts regarding ASR the mafia.
I tried to explain my side of the things, but La was too busy freaking out.

"Idea?!? Do you wish to marry a mobster? At such a young age? Khushi ASR koi earring ka set nai hai jo pasand nai aaya to waapas krdia."
(Khushi ASR is not a set of earrings that you can return if you are unsatisfied).

Her words made my heart flutter. Agar woh earring ka set hote to zyada acha hota. He would stay close to me 24x7. That would be super cute. But alas he is a busy mafia lord. Kya pata abhi humare idea pe baithe baithe hass rhe ho apne Amanji ke sath?
(It would have been a treat to have him as an earring set. Who knows he might be laughing at this moment along with his friend at my idea?)

"La nobody forced me into this. I cannot stay with you for the rest of my life. I seek a companion. He does too. I mean he was hunting for Chudail when we met."

My words did the trick. She halted her pacing and chose to sit beside me. I lifted a fry near my BFF and she reluctantly opened her mouth to munch on the same. How shall I explain my point to my bestie now? She needs to understand why I am doing this. But watching her lose her temper made me beyond happy because behind her scoldings I could hear the echo of her affections.

"Khush ASR was all calm n quiet in front of you last night. What if he is dark and cold like the mafia characters in your books?"

"Lavanya I have a knack for choosing my own family. I found you did not I? And see we are besties for years now. Humari 6th sense kehti hai ki ASR is meant for me. So please trust my instincts. And he has not given me any response. Maybe he brushed it away assuming that I am nothing but a silly teen."
(My sixth sense is telling me that ASR is meant for me).

We continued to eat the fries. I pushed the plate of my peri peri in front of her. Suddenly my appetite was lost. If Arnav Singh Raizada denies this proposal then nothing can be done. But there is a slight probability that he might agree. I have done nothing to gain his trust. And after Shashi and Chudail  Gupta's betrayal, he might assume the worst about me. I sighed as all kinds of doubt blanketed me.

Arnav POV

"I AM SORRY ASR. I AM. PLEASE DON'T HURT ME."

Khanna lay on the floor of my conference room, black and blue after all the bruises from my men. He tried to plead for his sins. However, aiding in human trafficking he became a walking talking beast in my eyes.

I raised my gun to put a bullet inside his brain. Then suddenly Khushi appeared in between us. What in the god's name is Khushi Kumari Gupta doing here? She prowled to my side as if it were a regular occurrence. Grabbing my arm in her hands she startled me. Wide hazel eyes arrested mine. I gulped in surprise.

"Mr Raizada isko chodiye aur bataye ki humare offer ke baare mein aapne kya socha?"
(Leave him Mr Raizada and tell me have you given a thought to my offer?)

"Huh?"

"Shaadi nai krenge humse aap? "
(Don't you wish to marry me?)

What the?!? What the hell is Khushi Gupta doing in my office? This is ridiculous. How can she enter my workplace as she owns it? Wait a minute. Did she just ask me about the deal she offered me? As in the offer of Shaadi? This is impossible.
