STORY CORNER

In Your Embrace -Part 1

Sheesh Mahal

The Fashion Show was taking place in the Sheesh Mahal by its new owner, Arnav Singh Raizada aka ASR, to show his ownership and power, to this world and his enemies.

He was sitting with closed eyes, leaning towards his seat. His memories flashed within, bringing back the pleasant memories of his childhood, which brought a smile to his face just then years-old scars of memories flashed just to wipe the smile from his face.

He could still hear his mother's cry about his father's betrayal and the gunshots followed by a dead silence. Just then his mother's and father's suicidal image came back, and he opened his eyes to face the familiar but lost angelic face.

​

Khushi Kumari Gupta, who was mistakenly pushed onto the stage, starred at the crowd which started to murmur about the interruption of the show. She started to tremble due to the sudden and unexpected happenings. She turned around just to fall as she tumbled back. She expected the pain and closed her involuntarily in fear, but nothing came. She saw the most beautiful dark brown eyes when she opened her eyes.

Arnav, who held the familiar girl or, to say, now a woman, after a long time, got lost in her eyes. He just came back to the present as the camera flashed.

"No footage and pictures should go out". He ordered his right-hand man, Aman.

With that, he carried the angel to his room. He put her down once they entered. Khushi immediately put some distance between them. She looked at the man in front of her. He looked a lot more familiar, but she didn't know how.

But she buried that thought and started to ramble,

"Sorry Ji, I don't know anything, they pushed me onto the stage. I just came here looking for my sister's baraat. They mistook me......",

Arnav stood looking at her with folded arms and a small smile on his face.

Khushi stopped speaking and looked at him with a weird face as he was not reacting to what she was saying.

They stood looking at each other for a few seconds.

"Khush," he said, meaningfully looking deep into her eyes.

Hearing that word she stood like a statue, and she crashed into him before Arnav could get disappointed, for not getting the expected reaction.

"ARNIE" she shouted and hugged him with eyes full of tears.
