Words to say I love you.. (Complete)

Chapter 32

Rishab is in a meeting with his department heads. He has to find a way to save the company. No matter how much he says, he can never leave the company. His family legacy is just as important as his life. His grandfather had made him fall in love with books and now the entire publication thing has become his reason to live. It's his way of paying respect to his Dadaji.

Khushi had tried to talk to him about his father but Rishab had left without saying anything. She had a conversation with Dadi regarding the same. Dadi had asked her to come home.

Khushi goes to meet Dadi. She is in her room and Khushi goes and hugs her. She sits down on the bed near her. She looks around and admires the room. She says,"Wah! Dadi aap ka room toh Queen Elizabeth ke room se kaam nahi." Dadi is doing some knitting. She puts it down and asks," Aur teri Dadi kya kaam hai Elizabeth se?" Khushi starts laughing and bowing her head, she says," Not at all, my Highness.." Khushi picks up a photo frame having the photograph of young Rishab. She smiles looking at it and says,"He looks so cute.." Dadi smiles and asks,"Is cute bache ko kab apna bana rahi hai?"

Khushi looks at her surprised. Dadi continues," I wanted to talk to you both. But Rishi toh gussa ho kar chala gaya uss din. And he will not come here soon. I know him, he is hurt." Dadi closes her eyes and a drop of tear falls from her eyes. She wipes her eyes and says," I know you both love each other. I want you both get married as soon as possible." Khushi's face brightens up listening to her. She hugs Dadi and says,"O Dadi I love you.." Dadi gets up and goes to her wardrobe and brings out a jewellery box. She takes out two thick beautiful bangles and puts it in her hands.

Dadi says,"This are my bangles which I had given to Rishab's mother. She wanted to gift it to Rishab's wife." Khushi's eyes sparkle with happiness. They then fills with tears of joy. She hugs Dadi and says,"Thank you Dadi.." Her face again turns sad, she says," Aap ko bhi pata hai but uss khadoos ko kab pata chalegi? When will he propose to me?" Dadi looks surprised, she asks," Has he not proposed you yet?" Khushi's face droops down, pulling out her lower lips, she says," He doesn't know I love him and Arti di says, he loves me but he is yet to accept it. So..hmm.. " Dadi smiles and says,"He is a big bewkoof like his father. I will talk to him. Tu usse samjha kar yahan aaja." Khushi puts her face down on her lap and says,"Rishab won't be ready to send me here. And after his problem with uncle..no, don't think so." Dadi says,"Hmm.. What should we do about the two Khuranas then?"

Rishab has a meeting with a potential investor. He is his last hope. Otherwise he has to put his own savings into the company but that's not a permanent solution. Meeting is fixed at a cafe in a five star hotel. Rishab reaches the cafe early and waits for him. Just then a man in his early 50s, in white suit comes up with two body guards walking behind him. He stops near his table and putting his phone down he says,"Mr.Khurana?" Rishab gets up and extends his hand to shake,"Mr.Arun Singhania, Hello! Please be seated." They shake hands and both sit down. The two body body guards stand behind him. Rishab asks," What shall I order for you?" Mr. Singhania says,"Mr.Khurana, My order has been placed. Don't worry." Soon a waiter comes with a drink and places it on the table in front of him.

Taking a sip, he says,"So Mr. Khurana, I have read all the details and went through all files. I am really interested in investing in your company." Rishab takes a breathe of relief and says,"Please Mr. Singhania call me Rishab, Mr. Khurana is my father." Arun replies, "Ofcourse. But you must also call me Arun too. Mr. Singhania sounds old and I am quite young. Right..He ..he.." Rishab smiles and says,"Yes, ofcourse Arun. If you are sure about investing, we can get all the papers ready." Arun says,"Yes, yes, I am sure. But ..you see, I have one condition that will not change." Rishab doesn't know what he wants. He smiles and asks," What is your condition?" Arun smiles and says," Relax Rishab. You look tensed. It's nothing compared to the amount I am going to give you." Rishab waits for Arun to speak. He starts," Well as you know, I  have many businesses. I invest money in things that I find profitable. But publication is not my cup of tea. I know it's not that profitable but I am ready to invest. The reason is my lovely wife. Actually it's my wife who has interest in this business. She is a writer you see. She asked me to invest in your company and I can do anything for her. I love her and can't say no to her." Rishab stays quite, he has no idea where the talks are heading to. Arun smiles and says,"You know how love can be. You must be in love too. Are you married?" Rishab is really not interested in talking about love and marriage now. But he smiles and says," No, I am not married yet." Arun laughs and says," What? Itne handsome ho, koi ladki abhi tak nahi mili? He..he..he.. I am very lucky. I got a young, beautiful and talented wife. Happily married for two years now.." Rishab smile meekly and Arun says," Where were we? Yes my condition, Right. Well I want my wife's book to be published at your publication house. That's the only condition. I want her books on the shelves of all book stores. It must sell like hot cakes. Did I tell you my wife is a real hottie? He..he.."
