Why FEAR when Khushi is HERE(Charm AWARDEE)

UberPool made our Day!

Khushi POV
Oh god I am late. I am so late. Its already 8 in the morning. Hey Devi Maiyya please please make the time run very slow today. Oh no my bag. Where did I keep it? Oh yes near my table.
"Khushi I have an idea...Happyji told me about this Uber cab yesterday. There is a car pool option in the mobile app and its price is less than the auto rikshaws. Why dont we ask him to book one for you? It wont be expensive and at the same time you can easily go to your office. What say?" Jeeji asked coming to our room.

Wow really Devi Maiyya. Is there such a thing like car pool with reduced rates? This is such a good news. Thank you DM. You saved me from being late on my first day of office.
"Jeeji. You are simply the best sister anyone could ask for. I am okay with it if Happyji has no issues. As it is I am getting late for office. You go and ask him to book the cab for me." I declared happily. This is such an auspicious signal by DM.

I rushed outside to our dining table where hot breakfast prepared by Buaji was waiting for me. Haayyye Jalebis. Today will be the best day of my life.

Arnav POV
"What the hell?!? What do you mean the car is not working? Damn it!! How will I go to office now?" I scolded Mohan our driver.
"Sir but I.." He started with his age old explainations.
"Leave it. I will book a cab." Saying so I called Aman while getting ready for office.
"Aman listen to me. Book me a cab as soon as possible. I want one outside my house in 2 minutes." I ordered Aman and cut the call immediately not really listening to his response.

After getting all ready I walked downstairs only to see Di standing at the bottom of the steps with a smiling face and a prayer thali. Ughhhh. Not again.
"Di how many times do I have to tell you I dont like all this?"
I said making a face knowing very well she wont listen to a word and will put tilak on my forehead.
"Well Chotte whats the point of repeating it everyday. You know I wont stop doing it...so why waste your energy." Saying that she marked my forehead.
"Okay I am sorry I cannot wait for breakfast I have an important meeting." I said waving a goodbye. She tried to plead but I had already left from the house.

I got a call from Aman the moment I stepped out of the house.
"Yeah Aman. Where is the cab?"
"ASR..you needed a cab urgently and I could not find a private one. Your cab will reach there in a minute. But you will have to pool with another person. I am sorry but I could find only UberPool at such a short notice."
"WHAT?!?! Have you lost it!!! Arnav Singh Raizada will CARPOOL?? In your dreams Aman. FIND ME ANOTHER CAB IN A FEW SECONDS!"
I screamed in the phone.
"I am sorry ASR but the only cab available is the pool one. It will arrive any moment." Aman stated calmly as always.
"Whatever." I felt anger boiling within me. Who the hell is this person with whom I am supposed to share a cab? Lets see.

Khushi POV
"Oh so your name is Satkarji. Wow such a nice name. Mine is Khushi."
I said with a smile on my face. Satkarji is very nice. He has been talking to me through out our ride. Now we our very close to our pit stop. Since I had requested for a pool ride...we are about to reach Pant Nagar.

"Madamji. Both you riders are headed to the same destination it seems. AR Designs Company." Satkarji stated.
"Wow. Thats good. Devi Maiyya wants me to reach on time it seems." Even he nodded happyily hearing DM's name.

"Oh there he is. The guy in black suit." Satkarji said.
And then a minute later a man opened the cab door and sat inside, beside me.

And then no sound could be heard. Time paused for a while. All I could see was a handsome man. He wore a black suit with black goggles matching his personality. I gawked at him in wonder. Haaye Devi Maiyya what is this????? Never have I ever imagined any other man apart from Salman Khanji. But this guy....

He is much more than a filmy hero...

Humara Rajkumar...(prince charming)

Dhak Dhak..

Dhadkan bhi tez hogayi ab toh...(my heartbeats have escalated)

Arnav POV
I made myself comfortable in the too small cab. The cab driver confirmed my name and started to drive. I was about to check a few mails on my phone when I felt someone's eyes on me. I turned a little only to notice to the owner of those eyes...

Rabba ve...rabba ve...hooo...rabba ve...

A new tune started playing in my mind...

The one ogling at me was a beautiful angel. Dressed up in bright colored churidar with pompoms. The dress was too simple and typical. However there was something that pulled me towards her.

Big baby brown eyes...

Rosy lips...

And Red cheeks...

And it felt so right...to be with her.

"Hi I am Khushi Kumari Gupta. We are pooling together. And you are?"
Her bell like voice said to me. I am yours forever...I thought.
"Uh..hi. I am Arnav Singh Raizada. Nice to meet you." I said almost floating in the air with happiness.

"Yeah it does feels nice meeting one another right? You know I was expecting an average looking guy. But you are not at all like that. Black suits you a lot Arnavji. Wear it often okay. The way you entered the cab...haaye...you are very good looking you know. Ekdum Maal lgrhe hain aap."( you look so handsome) She said with a wink.

I felt all flabbergasted for a minute. Wow. Do I really look that good in black. But one sec...what is the meaning of maal..
"Thanks Khushi. I will wear black more now. And if you dont mind..what is meaning of this word..maal?" I asked curiously

The taxi driver started snickered at my question. But Khushi seemed all the more happy to explain it to me.
"Arnavji dont worry. Its a compliment. Maal means handsome in local language."
I felt my cheeks burn with shyness. OH MY GOODNESS. Am I Really a MAAL?? She is so simple and cute. Like a breath of fresh air. So honest. Not like any girl that I have met before.

"Thank you Khushi. You too are very beautiful. Believe me. I have been in fashion industry for too long to appreciate a genuine beauty like you."
But unlike most girl she did not shy away from my comments but continued to smile at my words.
"Well my Amma Babuji also think that the same is true. I am the apple of their eyes." She said proudly.

"So who all are there in your family." I asked curiously.
"Actually I dont have a very big family. There is my Mausa, Massi, my cousin Payal jeeji and Buaji. Actually Mausa and Massi adopted me when I was a kid. They are not my biological parents. But I love them to death." She cutely said.
Oh my. She is adopted. Which means her parents are no more like mine. But look how she finds happiness in everything that comes her way. And look at me. I am still stuck in my past. This proves all the more that I need her in my life. I need you Khushi. Please be mine.

"You are so optimistic about life Khushi. I like your spirit." I said with a smile. She gave me a mischievious look.
"Dont compliment me too much Raizadaji...warna aapko bhagakar shaadi karlenge aapse.(Orelse I will elope and marry you).
She said while elbowing my shoulder.

And I felt my face turning into a tomato after hearing her words.
"Madamji...you and Sirji are made for each other it seems." The can driver teased us.
"Satkarji it seems like it huh." She said looking at me.

"Here you go. Your destination is here. AR Designs." The driver stated coming to a stop.
"Oh great. Arnavji I would have loved to talk more but my office is here. I recently got a job here. And today is my first day. Amanji will not be happy if I will report late. But dont worry. It seems you too work here right? So we will catch up sometime. You just ask anyone here that you want to meet the PA of ASR. Alright?" Khushi asked me.

Wow. Oh my. Aman...you are my savior. KHUSHI IS MY NEW PA. This is just great.
"Oh you are ASR's PA?" I questioned with a smirk.
"Yup. Anyway have a good day. I hope you will get whatever you desire today. Devi Maiyya will bless us I am sure." And saying another loud goodbye to Satkarji Khushi ran away inside my office building.

I walked casually inside my office. Hmmm. Devi Maiyya blessed me? Interesting. With a smile on my face for the first time I made my way to my cabin.
