Is This Love Chapter 5

 Chapter 5

Aaj mausam hai suhana'.

It was a bright sunny morning as Khushi opened her eyes when the sun greeted her through the windows enhancing her beauty.

Wait! It was morning? Damn it! Khushi opened her eyes in panic praying that she wasn't late but devi maiyya was not in her favour today. It was 7.40am and Khushi was seriously late. This meant danger!

Today she would be eaten alive and that's when she heard Happy Singh's loud radio had a bad news. The taxi, bus and auto drivers were on strike. No public transport for one day! Oh damn! Could the day get any worse than this????

Now her Raakhas would eat her alive for being late and getting his meetings delayed!...uhm..what did she just think?

HER Raakhas?

Since when did that happen? Oh now the memories came flashing back in her mind reminding her of all the wonderful incidents that happened a day before. And now she remembered why she was actually late! She couldn't sleep the whole night because of him!

But for now she needed to hurry because she had to walk to AR.

Being in a hurry she left her hair open and wore the first kameez that came in front of her. RED! She just didn't know what she was heading to..very unintentionally! She quickly wore it and started walking when she saw a white SUV stop beside her. It was HIM!

He got off and opened the door for her silently and she got in.

Khushi: sir..woh aap yahan?

Arnav: yeah I was in the office when I heard there will be no public transport for the day'(he paused)'.and I needed you'

Khushi: (almost jumped).. jiii??

Arnav: i..i mean you are my PA Khushi. You have all my appointments and my plans for the day.

Khushi: (sighed in relief) hmm..

Arnav just smiled looking at her state so he decided not to bring up THE topic because he did not want to sound like a desperate teenager. Which he was feeling like very much right now! He needed control'

Just as his mind mentioned control his eyes automatically travelled through her body and he realized what she was wearing.

She was wearing RED!!!

 His favorite color. She was looking so gorgeous with that straight open hair flying carelessly and the simple bindi on her head. Then to her lustrous body which was looking as elegant as ever. How would she feel in his arms? How would it feel if he hugged her right now? How would it'

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Arnav Singh Raizada you just asked yourself to control. How can you start thinking such things about this innocent creature? CONTROL!! Will you?? Arnav scolded himself mentally.

But what was his fault when she was so tempting.

The ride was silent yet it was restless for both of them so they decided to ignore THEIR topic for topic for the moment and talk about it at the right time and at the right place and in the right manner. Because for now Arnav needed to focus on work which he couldn't do last night because of Khushi.

The car stopped in front of AR and they went to their respective cabins trying to concentrate on their work.

It was lunch hour and Arnav was busy as usual when Anjali entered his cabin in all her chirpy mood. She expected him to not even look at her as always, not acknowledging her presence and she would taunt him that he did not love her and one day she would marry and go away but to her surprise he looked up and smiled at her mumbling a soft "hey dii" before looking back to his laptop.

Anjali: areh. Chotey! Aap abhi bhi kaam kar rahe hain? Aap time se khaana kyun nahin khaate?(you are still working?..why don't you ever eat on time?

Arnav: come sit dii and give me just five minutes..

Arnav said smiling which was a surprise for Anjali because her chotey would smile only once in a blue moon! And here he was smiling so many times? Oh my god! What was up?

She sat down quietly looking around when Khushi entered the cabin and she noticed that Arnav paused for a friction of second before continuing his work again. Was this up?

Khushi: sir I need your signatures here..

Arnav: yes Khu'I mean Ms. Gupta please keep the file there and I will sign it.

Uh oh!  Another fumble? He was about to call her Khushi? This was getting really interesting for Anjali. She could already see the wedding bells ringing for Arnav and Khushi!

Anjali: Namaste. Hum chotey'humara matlab hai Arnav ki behen hain..aur aap?(hi. I am arnav's sister and you are?)

Anjali said chotey and waited for his reaction. What? He did not explode as usual? He just simpy ignored it as if he didn't mind her calling him 'chotey' in front of Khushi!

Khushi: (smiles) hum Khushi hain'arnavji ki PA'(I am Khushi. Arnav's PA)

Anjali: aap se milke bahut acha laga'aap humare saath lunch karengi? (Nice to meet you. Would you like to have lunch with us?)

Khushi: uh'ji who...Hum?

Arnav realized his sister's intentions but he wanted Khushi to get along with his family so he gestured her to accept the generous offer from his dii. Together they headed out for lunch in Arnav's SUV. Arnav was more like a driver while both his favorite ladies sat at the back talking nonstop about everything I the world and he realized they were very much alike and he liked that.

The only problem was he did not like the words "humare Salman Khanji" from her mouth. He was jealous!

What?

He just admitted that he was jealous that Khushi was praising another guy? Okay fine! He was jealous and now he would make sure he drove all the thoughts about marrying Salman away from her mind.

They reached the exquisite restaurant and Khushi's mouth turned a perfect "O".

Anjali: what happened khushiji?

Khushi: hum yahan par khana nahin kha sakte..(I cant eat here!)

Anjali: kyun?(why?)

Khushi: bahut mehnga hoga sabkuch! (everything will be very expensive)

Arnav: don't worry I will pay

Khushi: nahi aap ko'

Arnav: shh'meri dii laayi hain tumhe, right? So its our treat!

Anjali: ji Khushi ji please manaa mat kijiye( please don't say no)

Khushi: acha theek hai magar sirf iss baar'(okay but only this time)

They sat in a secluded table which was for the  high society  people  and where they could eat in peace.

Khushi and Arnav were almost sitting beside each other while Anjali sat opposite them.

They placed their respective orders and Arnav chuckled while Khushi complained nonstop about how the restaurant people were robbing them and these things were much cheaper in chandni chowk. Anjali was really amused with Khushi  and couldn't stop smiling at the unique friend she just found.

Or should she say to-be-bhabi?

When Arnav noticed that Anjali had caught him staring at Khushi many times he took out his blackberry and pretended to text someone to avoid her questioning eyes.

The lunch came and they began eating when Anjali started telling Khushi about how they were from lucknow'.

Suddenly!

Khushi felt a hand grab hers from under the table and she gasped!

Her eyes shot up and she saw Arnav head down as he was pretending to concentrate on the food but his blush was more than visible.

What did she just see?

Arnav Singh Raizada was blushing???? He was blushing??? Like actually blushing??

And he was actually holding her hand? How childish! And how CUTE!

Just then anjali's voice broke her chain of thoughts.

Anjali: Khushi ji are you lost somewhere?

Khushi: uhm' who nahin'hum bas'

Arnav smiled and looked up pretending that he was innocent. "yeah Khushi what happened? Are you okay?" she gave him an angry glare while he smiled away but the happiest person in this was Anjali.

She had a lot to tell nani. Their chotey was actually falling for someone! How exciting!

The lunch was done and Arnav was signing the bill while Khushi was looking at her hand blushing as her hand was still tingling from the sensation of his hand on hers.

They all were happy in their hearts because they knew that something new was bound to start.
