Prem Ki Naiya hai Ram ke bharose

The Picture

Arnav entered Gupta Fashion's building and went toward the reception "Arnav Singh Raizada for Shashi Gupta" he told to the receptionist, who looked at him with a bright smile and with the sweetesta and seductive voice that she could make gave him the instructions toward her boss's office "for any help, I'm here only" she blinked romantically when he started leaving, after all he was The Arnav Singh Raizada and that too in their office.

Khushi was going up the stairs with a pile of files in her hands, a file suddenly slipped from the pile, she stopped on her tracks and was turning around when her heel slipped on the white sheets that got scattered from the file and she loses the balance, the files that were in her hands flayed away and she instinctively closed her eyes in fear, ready for the upcoming fall and pain. But it never happened, instead she felt a strong energy encircling her waist and pushing her backwards.

"Am I dead that I don't feel pain" she thought with her eyes tight shut and heart beating fast like it did a marathon.

"you okay"

On hearing that voice her eyes sprung open and in the span of 72 hours she found her hazel eyes looking in his chocolate ones. She lost herself in those deep brown orbs and the hold on his jacket loosened.

"Mam" the voice broke the magical moment.

Khushi looked at their position, her back was against the railing and she was trapped in his arms.

His one arm was on her left side, holding with his head the banister, while the other hand was resting on her right hip

"his hand" her brain elaborated and blood run towards her cheeks and she almost stopped breathing.

"Gupta you got a PHD in this kya?" he asked taking away his hand from her "or it's mother nature's gift"

he lifted his eyebrows and with that he withdrew the other arm which was resting against her upper arm acting as a barrier so she couldn't fall from the stairs.

His words brought her to the realty and gaining the use of the word she asked, "You here?"

He nodded and started climbing the stairs "Mention not" he added after few steps and before she could say anything else, he disappeared from her view and she let out the breath that she was holding.

"Radhikaji asked me when they can do the rooka" Aradhana said putting a cup of chai before Devyani. Aradhana had called Armaan's mother and told her that they would be more then happy to have Armaan as the son-in-law of their house.

"Have you told them that we wish to do the wedding next year?" Devyani asked taking the cup of chai. Aradhana narrated her that Radhika had voiced their wish to do the engagement in the next few months and the wedding as per the Raizadas' custom and convenience.

"Beta nek kaam mein deri nahi karte" Dadi said sipping her chai "plan it for the next month" she suggested to Aradhana

"Maaji you are asking me to arrange everything in ten days" Aradhana questioned taken aback. Being two very influential families of the city, she knows that the arrangements should be up to the mark, especially knowing that for Payal and Aakash's marriage the Singhania's gave a huge party.

"Beta if they are letting us decide for the wedding date, so doing the engagement as per their wish it's the minimum that we can do" Dadi explained, knowing well that nowadays all are in a hurry when it comes to marriage and since they want Riddhima to settle down before the marriage, they had voiced to the Singhanias' that they would prefer a year of engagement, in this way even their kids can know each other better.
