Khushi POV

Life is strange Devi Maiyya. Very strange. I am not one of those of who gets easily surprised. Really I am not. However being with this person is the epitome of surprise. Can you imagine ME...me Khushi Kumari Gupta sitting in ASRjis office. And that too with such hospitality.
When the receptionist threw some insults at me I never expected ASRji to crush her snobby self. But I enjoyed it quite a lot. He is definitely my savior.

How nice of him to do so.
Currently we are having a staring match. I am observing him while he is doing the same. None of us have said a word. But my erratic heartbeats will cause a catastrophe pretty soon. Whats with the intense looks? Can one be killed by deep chocolate orbs? There is a huge probability right?
I glanced at the clock on his desk...10 minutes have gone by. Now I cannot take this silence and eye locks anymore. Thats never been my style.

"Umm ASRji...if you done with your gawking can we talk about something? I am getting bored of this silence."
My words brought him out of his day dreams. I observed an immediate change within him. His whole demeanor screamed of coldness and atittude. Like he was trying to hide back in his shell. Scared to open up.
Hmmm. Whats wrong with him? Strange.
"I called you here for an interview Ms. Gupta. I believe you have all the talent and skills to become my PA. Show me those documents of yours."
He said in a typical bossy tone.

Ladies and Gentle and here I present you with the EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD...ASR!!!! 👏
Thats your hero Khushi. Your 5 minutes husband is actually an MPD patient. Hmmm. No wonder everyone went beserk a while ago downstairs when he screamed like Satan. Seriously this is the height of weirdness. Then after a while my thoughts took a different turn when I could not contain my curiosity behind his name.

"Whats the deal behind your name? A.S.R??? Hmmm koi mafiaboss to nai hain aap? Mujhe shak ho hi gaya tha kal raat. Warna iss tarah ka khufia nam kaun rkhta hai. Ab seedhe seedhe bataiye kya kaam hai aapka? HAWWW? KAHIN AAP KAPDON KI SMUGGLING TO NAI KRTE? AR Designs ke naam pe ye DO NUMBER KA KAAM HORHA THA YAHAN?!?"( Hmmm, are you a mafiaboss? I had my suspicions. Whoelse uses such a secretive name. Now without making any excuses tell me about your work? HAWWW? YOU SMUGGLE CLOTHES DONT YOU? AR Designs is just a facade and YOU DO ILLEGAL STUFF IN THE NAME OF IT RIGHT?) I asked furiously.

Arnav POV
This girl never fails to amaze me. In the span of 24 hours she has changed my life. I have started hating silence now. And her words. Goshhhh. She mused at the fact that I was ogling her. When I tried to control myself and behaved professionally to cover up my emotions she again threw a bomb at me. A humorous bomb. Her timing is great.
I smiled slowly at her words and then could not control myself from laughing out loud.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA...........

OH MY GOODNESSS......

MAFIABOSS?????

SMUGGLING OF CLOTHES???

Khushi Kumari Gupta is capable of making anyone go insane.

"ASR means Arnav Singh Raizada. Its just a short version of my real name Khushi. Nothing else. If you find calling me ASR so weird why not address me as Arnav?" I asked watching her keenly.
"Oh I see. Fine then Arnavji. If thats what you prefer. And how are you so confident that I will be perfect for the job of your PA. I dont even know how your company works. And what about my job with Bediji?
What shall I say to him? Sorry Bediji Arnavji offered me a new job so I am leaving yours? Is not that against work ethics?" She asked in all seriousness.

She works for another company?!? Damn it!!!! Who the hell is this Bedi now? Must be her employer. But I am also ASR. I will convince her by hook or crook.
"Tell me where is your Bediji's office. I will speak to him personally today itself. Fix an appointment. I am sure he..." Before I could complete my thought she interrupted me suddenly.
"No. You are mistaken Bediji owns a garage. And I work along with Happyji over there. I change tires for him. And I am learning how to deal with the car battery and oil change too." She said with a glorious smile on her.

BEDI IS A GARAGE OWNER??

KHUSHI WORKS AS A MECHANIC??

YOU HAVE FOUND ONE CRAZY OBSESSION ASR.

HOW CAN ONE BE SO HAPPY ABOUT SUCH A JOB.

JUST LOOK AT THAT SMILE....BEAUTIFUL.

"Khushi I want you to work for me. Here. As my PA. Come here at weekdays. And on weekends you can still continue doing your work at Bedi's if it makes you that happy. What say Khushi Kumari Gupta? Or are you scared that this is gonna be a challenging job for you? I know such a big place can make one feel low confident. I totally get it you see..."
And my words reached bulls eye in one go itself. Perfect. Khushi has taken the bait.

"Hawwww!!! How can you even think like that? Listen Arnavji I am more than capable of handling this job. Its just that I did not want to disappoint Bediji. But guess what? I will do this job. I am ready. I accept this challenge. I will prove about my self-confidence right now. Get the contract ready. And tell me where to sign."
She said with pride.
"Oh the contract is very much ready. Sign on the red file, its on your right. Its a six month contract. We will renew it again after 6 months. It depends on your performance though."
I said with smirk. And in front of my eyes Khushi Kumari Gupta signed her very first bond with me. And there were many more to come. I mentally patted my back for getting her close to me.

"I will join from tomorrow. Goodbye."
Out of the blue Khushi ended our conversation and started to leave from my cabin. But watching her walk out irked me to no end.

I followed her with quick foot steps but in my haste I collided with her. Watching her slip I rushed to save her and my arms broke her fall. And what a beautfiul fall it is.
The silly bickering of ours turned into a passionate eye dance. My fingers gripped her slim waist firmly while her arms encircled my neck. Two set of eyes were burning with madness this time. Hazel vs Chocolate. And no one was ready to backdown. Both were battling for dominance. However I won. She fluttered her eyes in wonder, her erratic breaths and shivering lips gave me a jolt of desire. I was about to close the distance between us when my cabin door was opened without a knock.

"ASR the Sharmas are here. We should schedule the conference for the next half an hour followed by a short board meeting to decide whether the new textiles are good enough to produce a sample of our..."
Amans booming voice turned into silence seeing my closeness with Khushi. And my desires got washed away by the cold water dam himself Aman.

Me and Khushi quickly parted away from each other.

"Uhhh...sorry...ASR....I....umm..." Aman stammered awkwardly.

And Khushi left my cabin in a rush. But not before I noticed her deep red cheeks. Hmmm. Interesting.

"GET OUT AMAN."

I screamed.
