Chapter 4 - The Deal
Khushi thinks: Sorry ma, sorry dad...
Opening her eyes, she steps forward and takes Arnav's lips in a passionate kiss... She smells lavender. That's the only thing Arnav could think about... He was expecting her to come after him but not to kiss him.. As she takes control, for an instant Arnav gets lost into the kiss and unknowingly he passes his arms around her waist. Few seconds later, Khushi opens one eye and sees the bodyguards walking away in the opposite direction. On the spot, she pushes Arnav breaking the kiss and this comes as a shock for Arnav. Well seems that her kiss backfires his plan.. For a second her boldness, her eyes, her petite figure.. captivate all his focus. Arnav Singh Raizada, ruthless businessman who always wins at any cost lost his control.. and that too to a spoilt inoffensive brat. She looked at him with her big eyes. She bites her pink glossy lips and Arnav could read worry on her beautiful face. Arnav stares at her while Khushi felt uncomfortable at his glare. She looks away in awkwardness which breaks his trance. He was startled at his own reaction and raises his eyelids in confusion.
ASR thinks: What the? What's wrong with me? I'm here for a reason.. Khushi Kumari Gupta has to pay for her deeds.. Arnav Singh Raizada never loses.
And he fakes an indifferent expression to that kiss from which he was pulled back unwillingly while an arrogant smirk appears on his face.
ASR: Not bad Miss Gupta.. I'm impressed.
She looks at him out of the corner of her eyes. She overcomes her anxiety and stammers...
Khushi: What do you mean?
He lets an arrogant laugh.
ASR: Well after one kiss.. you don't seem to have enough of me..
Kushi's eyes turn wide open and her mouth forms an O-shape. She was not expecting him to be less arrogant but this guy is truly an ass. And she murmurs..
Khushi: What the hell? What does he think of himself? He's not even that handsome...
Arnav snaps his fingers in front of her eyes bringing her back.
ASR: Really? Is that so? what was that kiss for?
Khushi: A deal
She stands tall in confidence staring at him. Arnav fakes to be surprised but in reality he felt triumphant. Suddenly his mobile rings and instantly he attaches his bluetooth to his ears but not breaking the eye contact with Khushi.
ASR: Yeah!
Voice: Sir, I infomed Miss Gupta's bodyguards, did they reach at the right time?
He smirks looking at Khushi.
ASR: Perfect timing.. Good job.
And he disconnects the call. With a stern look, he utters..
ASR: Shoot! Arnav Singh Raizada is always ready for a deal.
Khushi gulps in her breath as she hears his full name.. and she stammers.
Khushi: Ar... Arnav Singh Raizada!
Who doesn't know Arnav Singh Raizada? Self made businessman at a very young age.. Ruthless, arrogant.. and on top of that, the heartthrob of millions. ..Dhak ..Dhak.. Khushi could hear her heartbeats getting faster. Coincidently, once upon a time, she was one of these millions. She was 15 when she experienced her first crush.. At that time, Arnav Singh Raizada was just a name who just entered the business world as an employee of a huge fashion house, not that successful but news talked about him. Very often, especially when her father had meetings at home, Khushi heard about him, his progress, his hard work and she was quite impressed.. Once she saw his picture in some news. He was standing next to his boss in a press conference. Khushi found him cute even if the picture was not clear enough.. not only her, but her whole college. Since then she was not ready to spare anyone who drools over him. She felt a strange possessiveness towards a guy whom she doesn't know or not sure to recognize if he appears in front of her.. A childhish or teenage reaction.. But with time, she got busy in her life and she forgot about him.. After all it was just a crush among all.. and she was just a teenager.
ASR: Any problem Miss Gupta? Weren't you talking about some deal, or I misheard?
She was dumb at his husky voice.. speechless.. Her eyes move over him from top to bottom. And she cannot deny to herself that this guy had nothing to do with the newcomer 19 years old Arnav Singh Raizada. He is way too attractive.. But what was that feeling? Shock, anger or excitement.. Kushi Kumari Gupta is finally one step ahead of her ex college mates. She kissed him.. she kissed Arnav Singh Raizada..
As that thought crosses her mind, her tense look disappears and a victorious grin forms on her lips. The different expressions on her face were confusing for Arnav.
ASR thinks: Weird Creature..
Tired and impatient, Arnav had enough of waiting for Khushi to utter a word. He knows about her deal.. After all those efforts to run away, there is no chance she'll back off. At least from the information he acquired on her, he figured out how stubborn the young Gupta daughter can be. And in irritation, he calls out to her in an angry tone.
ASR: Hello! I don't have any time to waste on you.. so will you please get out of my way?
Arnav pretends to be uninterested and he walks in large strides pushing her on his way. On the spot, Khushi was startled.. She realized that he is going away and the bodyguards might still be in the airport premises. She looked at him walking away and she turns to Tyara..
Khushi: What say Tyara?
She turns back to the walking figure and her naughtiness comes
back on her cheeks as a grin.
Khushi: Not a bad idea!
Finally, in a hurry, she rushes towards Arnav calling out his name loudly.
Khushi: Hellooo... Mr Raizada.. Hellooo..
Arnav was walking away smirking. He could clearly hear her voice but ignores her. Khushi runs faster and lays a hand on his shoulders stopping him. His smirk vanishes and he turns back facing her in his stern look.. Breathless, Khushi signs to him to wait as she intakes another breath. She finally catches her breath and repeats Arnav's words.
Khushi: Arnav Singh Raizada is always ready for a deal!
He couldn't stop his victorious grin and he crosses his arms to his chest.
ASR: Fine, what do I get?
Khushi looked at him in confusion. She frowns at him questioningly while he steps towards her. He approaches closer and passes his one hand around her waist daringly and pulls her to his chest. His other hand tucks her hairs behind her ears before going to her arms. At the moment, Khushi was idle, shock on the spot. She turns her eyes towards his hands and looked back into his eyes in terror as he caresses her arms tenderly with his fingers. Khushi might be a bold girl of the 21st century, but never in her life, a guy touches her in that way and that too without her permission. No space in between them, her body was fully stuck to his.. And as much as Arnav tries to control, he was still turned on and Khushi gasps at the hard contact to her lower part. Eyes wide open, she gulps in her breath and she felt weak in her knees as she could feel the goose bumps... Arnav forgets his torturous uneasiness and smirks.
ASR thinks: It's just the beginning and I'm already winning the first step.. It's better she throws herself into the trap.. Winning will be much fun.
ASR: Tell me Khushi? What do I get if I help you to get out of this country?
