Chapter 6
-------------------

Arnav drove with confidence, his eyes focused on the road ahead, while Khushi observed the passing cityscape from the passenger seat.

The sunset bathed the sky in hues of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the car's interior. As they cruised through the bustling streets, a sense of tranquility enveloped them inside the vehicle.

"Arnav," Khushi began, her voice tinged with worry. "I've been so stressed lately. You know how we have this big interior design project at the office?"

Arnav glanced at her, concern etched on his face. "Yeah, I remember. What's been bothering you about it?"

Khushi sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I just can't seem to choose between two concepts. One is a more minimalist, modern design, while the other is more vibrant and eclectic. Each option has its merits, but I feel stuck. I don't want to make the wrong choice."

Arnav reached over and gently placed his hand on Khushi's, offering comfort. "I understand how important this project is to you, Khushi. Maybe I can help you figure things out. Can you tell me more about each concept?"

Nodding, Khushi began explaining the details of each design, describing the elements, color schemes, and overall ambience. She spoke passionately, pouring her heart into the project, hoping that somehow the solution would reveal itself through their conversation.

Arnav listened intently, his focus unwavering. He asked probing questions, seeking to understand the essence of her vision and the objective of the project. He encouraged her to think about the core values of her office and how each design concept aligned with those principles.

In the midst of their discussion, Arnav's eyes sparkled with an idea. "What if you combined elements from both designs? It would create a unique and balanced space that harmonizes modernity with vibrancy."

Khushi's eyes widened, and a flicker of hope danced in her gaze. "That could work! But how would we go about it?"

Arnav smiled, his mind already racing with possibilities. "Think about it, Khushi. Find the common threads between both concepts. Maybe retain the clean lines and minimalist aesthetics from the modern design, but infuse vibrant pops of color and eclectic accessories to elevate the space."

A surge of excitement coursed through Khushi's veins as she absorbed his suggestions. "Arnav, you're a genius! Combining the two designs would reflect the essence of our office. It would be modern yet energetic, professional yet welcoming."

As the car came to a stop at a traffic light, Arnav turned towards Khushi, his eyes gleaming with pride. "Khushi, you are incredibly talented, and now you have a chance to showcase your unique vision. You will do wonders with this project, I am sure of it."

Arnav surprised Khushi with tickets to a live musical concert. They entered the vibrant venue, surrounded by a sea of music enthusiasts. The atmosphere was electric, and Khushi felt her spirits lifted as she soaked in the melodious sounds.

As they found their seats, Khushi's eyes widened in surprise. She spotted a group of her friends a few rows ahead, engrossed in conversation. Panic washed over her. She hadn't told them about her relationship with Arnav, and she wasn't sure how they would react.
