Background check

Little flashback in italic, unfortunatelly wattpad didn't permit color change

He was laying on his bed a smile playing on his lips "you have grown up quite well Raizada" the smile widened, "since when she became so bold" he thought. From what he remembers they had never been close; he knows that she was Riddhima's friend and never showed interest in mingling with her and she too. That few times he had met her, she never talked much, except inquiring for his sister's whereabouts and that call.

"but why I'm thinking about all this" passing a hand in his hair "it's jetlag" he stated and closed his eyes.

"what got in to you" she scolded herself while pacing in the room "Dadi was there, shit" she can't imagine that she said those words to him and that too before his family. Khushi was so lost in him that, she didn't know when the words left her mouth. The appreciation was supposed to be for herself only.

She had left the place the next instant that she realized that there where three people looking at her in amazement.

After pacing for good ten minutes, she stopped before the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror "you too Gupta" her cheeks gained color, that means he too had noticed her "Hey Devi Maiya" and the color deepened.

"stop blushing" she mentally admonished herself and went to sat on her bed "never thought that he'll be so handsome" she thought taking off her heels. She had never shown interest in socializing with him when he was in India, well, at that time she was just a teen and in these past years her indifference towars him didn't subsided, even though she had shared the apartment in Boston with Riddhima. Whenever Riddhima would be talking to him, she would leave the room to give them privacy.

"Riz I need to concentrate on the exam" she had replied at that time when Riddhima had told her that her brother was coming over and she wanted her to join them for dinner. She remembers all those times when Riddhima boasted of his brother "I have a very handsome and intelligent brother you know?" but she had always shrugged off not beeing interested

"Khushi stop it!" her mind warned "remember how aakru he was in the morning" her mind reminded.

She stretched her arms and then the neck "it had been a long day, first that Akru and then the office" she took her nightwear I badly need some sleep, little she knows that from now onwards she would have many sleepless nights.

"that's final" he stated getting up from the breakfast table. Arjun had told him about the proposal that the Singhanias' brought for Riddhima and he had replied that he will do a background check on the family and only then we would meet Armaan. When Aradhana persuaded him from doing so, as they know Armaan and his family since years now and it will hurt them if they'll get to know. But he was adamant and had ended the conversation stating that it was related to his sister's life and he can't take the risk.

When he reached his room, he took his phone and dialed to the only person that he can trust, maybe even more that himself.

"hey Arnav" Aman chirped picking the phone at the second ring.

"Aman find me a good detective?" he asked without greeting him

"Anything else" Aman asked knowing well the reason behind it

"Sorry" Arnav let out softy

"Next time I'll put it far from your reach" he heard his friend chuckle before cutting the call. In their friendship there was no need of worlds, they understand each other effortlessly, they share a brotherly bond being Aman an orphan, for him Arnav had always been his best friend come brother. He understood that Arnav was guilty for broking the vase that he had gifted him last year, trying to bring some color in his office.
