ARSHI: MY LIPSTICK GIRL

PART - 12

After few days, as least expected by Kushi, she was selected as an employee along with two of them and Aakash was one among them. It was after so many days Aakash is seeing Kushi. Kushi didn’t dare to look at Aakash’s side. She knew that he is there but didn’t. Arnav called the interns to tell them about the selected candidates. He sensed the tension in Aakash and Kushi’s face. Though Kushi hid it well, Aakash was sweating.

Arnav: So, what are your decision? My PA will mail you the details. You can go.

Passed years, it was the work of Arnav’s PA but now, he wanted to see Kushi. So, he asked them to come here.

Kushi didn’t want to go out of the cabin now as if she did, Aakash would be there. But it happened as her wish. Seems Arnav have sensed her inner voice.

Arnav: Kushi, I need to talk to you. the others may leave.

Aakash was frustrated as he was trying to talk to Kushi for long time. All went out.

Kushi: Yes, sir?

Arnav: I.. Kush…

Kushi was staring at him as she saw him stammering for the first time.

Arnav: I mean, how is aunty and how are you?

Kushi gave him a confused look.
Kushi: We are good, sir. And hope y…ou too.

Arnav: Yes, yes, I am good and the others too.

Kushi: May I take your leave, sir?

Arnav: No.. Yes.. yes.. you can go.

Kushi went out thinking what happened to him. Thinking so, she was caught by Aakash.

Kushi was shocked to see him.

Kushi: Leave me, Aakash.

Aakash: I will but only if you speak with me.

Kushi: I have to complete my pending work.

Aakash: Five minutes is enough.

Kushi: After that, I don’t want to see your face ever.

Aakash: No Kushi, don’t say like that. I did a grave mistake.

Kushi didn’t show any expression.

Aakash: Kushi, I know what I have done in unforgivable but I wanted to say you something which…

At that time, Kushi’s phone rang. It was Garima.

Kushi: Hello, Maa?

“Kushi, I am your neighbour. Your mother needs you now.”

Kushi: Aunty what happened?
She asked with a panic tone and which grabbed Aakash’s attention as well.

“You just come home”

Kushi: I am on my way, aunty. Just stay there till I come.

With that she cut the call and tried to get in Arnav’s cabin but

Aakash: You go, Kushi I will say to Arnav and will come there.

Kushi: Don’t

Kushi rushed inside and asked Arnav for an emergency leave and went to her scooty.

While was rushing to her home, Aakash said that Kushi needs help now to Arnav. Arnav called his mother and asked her to go to Kushi’s house.

Ratna understood the seriousness and reached soon before Kushi arrives.

Ratna: Kushi? Come soon.

Kushi didn’t ask her how did she come to know as she thought that Aakash would have called her.
