Victory of Love

part-15

She snapped her head up and slowly stood up with shock and surprise. Both of their eyes became teary on seeing and listening to each other after many years. Arnav gulped the lump in his throat and fisted his palm in order to control his tears. He only knew how much badly he wanted to hug her and cry on her shoulder and apologise her again and again until she forgives him.

She's not less, her eyes became teary as soon as she heard his voice. She instantly came to know y her heartbeat raised on that morning. How much she missed him every minute....At that time, she didnt remember any trace of her anger towards him and all wat she wanted to do was just hug him close to herself and make sure that she was not hallucinating again like she used to many times! 

"khushi..."he whispered again.

"Arnav...."she called out releasing a sigh of breath which she had been holding for a while. "Arnav..."she called again and about to step forward to hug him, but she stopped herself hearing a voice.

She looked aside and saw a man in his 20's.

"ASR..."called aman. arnav tunred towards him. "ASR, everything is ready for the conference..." arnav nodded her head.

but wat shocked him more was, aman turned to khushi and asked "u r khushi right? ur boss is waiting for u...plz come this way.." she smiled and nodded her head and followed aman but not before giving a longing look to arnav.

"that means, khushi is the one who's going to give presentation now?" arnav muttered himself and moved towards the conference room.

******************

When he reached the conference room, he saw khushi shacking her hands with arya. Arnav was kept on looking at khushi that he missed the expressions of Arya. Aman saw arnav's entry so turning to khushi, he introduced both unknown to the knowledge that they both knew each other before.

"Ms. Gupta, he's ASR. Our boss..and ASR, she's Ms. Khushi Kumari Gupta....the employee of siri constructions." they both shook their hands. Where as arnav kept on looking at khushi, she completely ignored him now and just smiled as a perfect proffesional. Later arnav introduced raman to ASR and vice versa. 

They proceeded to the presentation. Khushi was going to give her presentation after arya and so arya moved towards the screen. For the first time in these six years, arnav didnt hear the presentation at all. In that dim light, his whole concentration was on khushi. He kept on looking at her face in the attempt of filling her in whole of his mind. But whom he was kidding? She had been residing in his brain and heart all these years! and he knew it too. He looked at her eyes which were just looking at the screen completely ignoring him. But he observed that anger on her face from the way she biting her lip and flaring nose and serious expression on her face. Even though he felt guilt again, a small smile appeared on his face on seeing her expressions. "She is the same stubborn girl.."he thought and chuckled mentally. If the room were empty, he would have hugged her very close to him and talk all the sweet words with him and kept on burying his head in her free hair inhaling her flower scent. 

On the other hand, khushi was not less. As much as she wanted to hug him and cry, she also wanted to slap him hard and kick him for leaving just like that without informing her. If she got broom there, she would like to hit him with that until his shirt get rip off and blood come out of his skin. "How the hell he dare to leave like that.."she thought mentally and bite her lip to control her anger. She felt his gaze on her but thought to ignore him completely. "Now he will feel how did i felt with his absence.."she thought. But, in her anger she forgot that arnav went through 4 folds of her sadness!

After arya, khushi started giving the presentation ignoring arnav's gaze. After that, both the companies signed for the deal.

"Mr. Raman, as we signed the deal, let's go for site visit in two days, wat say?"asked arnav.

"yeah sure Mr. Raizada...khushi will come. After all, she's the one that going to handle this project from our company."said Raman with a smile. Arnav looked at khushi but she was looking somehwere blankly without any expression as if she's thinking deeply.

"ok then..."saying this, arnav gave his hand to Raman for a shake. "see u.."he said with proffessionalism. Raman nodded and bidding a bye, he along with khushi and his P.A left from there. Arnav kept on looking at khushi silently hoping for her one gaze but she didnt turned back and went from A Square constructions. Arnav sighed and walked towards his cabin with a sad face.

Being in his own world, he missed the look on Arya's face. Arnav was so lost that day. All the happenings of past 6 years kept on replaying in his brain. He kept silent about his love. According to him, except his mother and himself, NONE knew about his love towards khushi.

*********************

"Sir, I won't handle this project..."Khushi said to her boss-Raman the next day. Raman looked at her with shock. Khushi never said like this. She always take any project as a challenge and works hard for it. 

"Why?"he asked calmly guessing that there must b some reason behind her decision. But she stood silent looking at her palm.

"Khushi, wat happened? Does anything bothering u?"asked Raman with a brotherly affection. He irritated khushi with his over perfection but he was not a bad person.

"No sir.."she answered.

"Then? Y r u saying that u wouldnt handle this project?"he asked again. She stood silent.

"Khushi this is a big project. If u handle this, u will get many more good oppurtunities which would b helpful for u. Then what r u fearing for?"He asked.

"No sir...I'm not fearing.."She said instantly. But, her innerself was not ready to believe her false statement. She knew that she was scared- scared of the heart break again, scare of the memories which may come back when she works with him. That's y she decided to not involve in this project any more. But seems like some other thing is there for her.

"Then?"he asked.

"I will handle this project sir..."She said after few seconds of thinking. "Why the hell should I fear for that idiot arnav.."she thought.

"Good...then u have to go to A Square constructions for site visiting..."He said.

She nodded and left from there. A Square constructions. "A Square might b refers to Arnav and Arya..." she thought before working on her PC.
