Part 33
“Jiji.. I am leaving…!” Khushi hurriedly picked up her bad
and was almost out of the door.
“Khushi..! careful! “ Payal said in a worried tone.
“Don’t worry Jiji., I will manage!” Khushi came back and
hugged her jiji.
“Umm.. Khushi, I will go to deliver the fabric. Last time he had given his concept. I worked on it.. Hope he likes it!” Payal
said dreamily.
“Why not. Jiji? My Jiji has done it. He will definitely like it. By the way, he who?” Khushi asked narrowing
her eyes.
“Who?” Payal asked back.
“That’s what I am asking, Jiji, he who?” Khushi pursed her lips. Payal flushed.
“He has given me the big order..! Khushi, I will have to
take help of Buwaji also..!” payal was able to change the subject.
“Yeah Jiji. I will
also help you, if that monster is kind enough to send me home …!” she frowned.
“Ok bye jiji!” She ran out of the door.

“Aakash, you are coming with me!” declared Arnav.
“Umm No, bhai. I will
finish off some work and come..!” Aakash said avoiding his gaze.
“Collecting samples? Again?” asked Arnav irritably. Aakash did not answer…
“Hello Hi Bye Bye, Aakash bête, Kaahe ke samples…! Which
samples?” mami asked suspiciously.
“Before that I want to show you some samples…!” she took out
photos of prospective brides she had shortlisted for Aakash. Aakash looked away in frustration.
“Best luck Aakash!” Arnav murmured with a line of smile and
got up to leave.
“Hello Hi Bye Bye! Arnav bitwa, These are for you also. Come, have a look at them…!” Mami invited.
“Oh! Not me! I am leaving…!” he said and turned.
“Anyway, he doesn’t need these photographs..!” Aakash took
revenge. Arnav looked at him sternly and
left.
“Aakash.. I need to talk to you before you go!” Anjali said
seriously.
“I am leaving now Di!” said Aakash getting up from the
chair.
Anjali and Aakash were in her room. “Aakash, how serious are these two?” she
asked.
“Di, you know, Bhai does not believe in these things and so
does she…! They are steady..!” Aakash said sincerely.
“But Aakash… this won’t go far… You know what I mean… they
should decide about their future..!” Anjali was worried about her younger
brother.
“Di, bhai knows better.
He will take care! Don’t worry, Di! Bhai and Lavanya are going steady..!
But please, Di save me from mom and her photos..Please!” he pleaded.
“Hmm, only on one condition… you should give me updates
everyday about Chote and Lavanya…!” Anjali said smiling.
“I better tolerate those photos..!” Aakash teased Anjali and
left hurriedly.

“Payal ji, these are wonderful!” Aakash praised her
again. They were walking on the market
street. She had given him the fabric and
had collected the ones on which the motifs were to be worked on. Aakash had given her the concept and had
appreciated the earlier work done.
“Would you like to have tea?” he asked hesitantly. She looked around and nodded. Soon, they were in a small hotel sipping a
cup of tea together.
“Payal ji, are from Delhi?” he asked hopefully. “No Lucknow!” she said. “Nani will like her..!” he calculated
smiling.
“Umm, I think, I should leave now!” she said getting
up. He nodded.
“Shall I drop you?” he asked her.
“No.. my house is round the corner. Opposite that big garage..!” she said and left. He waited there till she was out of sight and
then sighing, came back to his car parked far away.

“Type these letters and get the printouts in half an hour!”
he barked at her. She nodded glancing at
Lavanya who was sitting in his cabin.
She did the job and was waiting for someone to go to his cabin.
“I don’t want to go alone in his cabin. That monster will scare me again..!” she
muttered. She saw Lavanya climbing the
stairs.
“Umm Madam..! Sir had given the work me to take print
outs..!” she held out the papers smiling.
“What do you want me to do?” Lavanya yelled at her. “I am
not your servant, go and give it to him yourself..!” Khushi entered his cabin behind Lavanya.
“Sir.. these printouts.. !” he looked at the time. “25 minutes..!” she muttered realizing his
intentions.
“You can go now!” ordered Lavanya.. Khushi turned to go happily.
“Wait!” came a malicious voice. Let me read the papers. “Umm Lavanya,
I need the presentations post lunch.
Make sure the designs are ready!” he said. Lavanya got up. Khushi stood there fidgeting.
His cell rang..! He picked up the phone. She turned to leave.
“Don’t move!” he snarled.
She froze. He took the phone.
“Yeah Di. Are you
ok?” he was concerned. She was surprised
to hear his soft voice.
“Di.. Don’t exert yourself! .. I will call the doctor!” he
said. Khushi gaped at him.
“Di please.. Or I will come there!” he threatened his di
softly. Suddenly he looked human and not
the monster.
“Where does his softness go, when he is talking to me?’
Khushi wondered.
“Yeah Di, take care!” he disconnected the phone, glanced at
the papers and gestured her to go.
She turned muttering…. “No personal calls during office
hours…!” she was sure he had not heard it, but she was wrong. She barely reached her cubical…
“Khushi!” he yelled.
She shuddered. Others too looked
up and understood.
“Ab to isaki Khair Nahi..! Khushi will have it now!” her
colleagues thought. Friends were sad
foes were happy.
She went up and stood at the door.
“What the hell is this? You have spelt me wrong… You have
spelt Arnav Singh Raizada, wrong!” he barked.
She came forward to take the papers from him.
“I will rectify and get the printouts..!” she took the papers and turned.
“Did you forget? Let me assess the damage. Arnav Singh Raizada has a big name, big
enough that no one would spell him wrong.
You spelt him wrong.. the damage is ..” he paused and smirked. She looked up at him in shock.
“But Sir, I will get it rectified immediately.. Only the
paper cost…!” she was reasonable …
“Enough! How dare you argue with me! I will assess the
damage!” he came around and again had invaded her personal zone making her weak
and to hold her breath in fright.
He stared at her.
“How many thousands?” she thought.
He turned his back on her thinking.
“Let me see…say ten thousand per wrongly spelt alphabet?” he
turned to her. She was furious..
“Only? Your name is worth only this much?” she asked
scornfully to enrage him. He came on to
her.
“Even if you work for the rest of your life in this office
without any pay, you will require several lives to repay the damage… That’s my
worth..!” he said with gritted teeth.
“Ss.. Sorry!” she was frightened. “You better be!” he said proudly. “Ghamandi! Conceited Monster!” she
muttered.
“Oh is it?” he again had heard it.
“This time, I am
lenient. Say Ten thousand Rupees? Or…!”
he stopped smirking.
“Or?” she asked hopefully.
“Is there a way to avoid paying money..?” she thought looking at the monster. He had a lopsided smile.
“Let me think..!.... I think you need to practice spelling
my name..!” he said again invading her personal zone. She felt weak. He smirked wickedly.
“Stand in that corner and spell out my name a hundred
times..!” he said and she gaped at him shocked.
“What? Is this a school?” her voice was loud enough to
irritate him. He trapped her between the
chair and his arms and said in a deadly voice.
“If you behave like a child, you will be punished like a
child!”
“Sss … Sorry!” she said weakly looking into his eyes.
“Decide, Khushi Kumari Gupta! Ten thousand or hundred
times..! You have time till evening..!” he had moved away. She reached the door.
“Head Monster.. I mean master..!” she muttered furiously. “Take his name 100 times! My foot!” her rage
went over the edge. But then losing ten
thousand was out of question. She
frowned. She calculated. It would take only fifteen minutes for 100
times. She went back to his cabin.
“umm Ok!” she said and stood in the corner. He smirked wickedly… She started off counting
her fingers..
A.R.N.A.V Arnav, S.I.N.G.H Singh, R.A.I.Z.A.D.A Raizada! …. He focused on his laptop listening her
taking his name. With every count,
bitterness in her mouth increased. “No Wonder,
he has sugar problem. He is so bitter..!”
She thought frowning. His smirk grew in
a smile as she reached one hundred.
“Finished!” she said grinning and came forward, picked up
the glass and drank water. He looked at
her and picking up his laptop said “I am going for a meeting…! You got to write
my name hundred times, by tomorrow..!”
“What?” she screamed.
He turned and said “Yeah! You heard it right..!” She gaped at him for a while. He was gazing at her. Her expressions changed. “Yes Sir!” she stood in attention. Now, it was his turn to be shocked. She went out of the cabin grinning. He shrugged and went for the meeting.

“Khushi, what happened? Why were you standing at the corner
for so long, in his cabin?” asked Rekha.
There were Ten people now for Tiffin Sharing. Khushi felt embarrassed. She looked down recollecting the humiliation
she felt and then looking up, said
“Nothing Rekha Madam.. Sir wanted to change his ringtone, so
he requested me to spell his name in my sweet voice to record it…!
A.R.N.A.V. S.I.N.G.H. R.A.I.Z.A.D.A. Arnav Singh Raizada..!” she said grinning and
the table erupted in laughter.
“We tried a hundred times, but he couldn’t get that sweet
melodious tone from me! I guess, I will have to try again, tomorrow! ” Khushi
took her revenge sending another wave of laughter. Others looked at their table enviously, missing
the fun.

When you're a child, very few things measure up to the enjoyment one gets from watching cartoons. Not alone the promenade night, the actual homecoming day, night party and even dance softball you can try the granny fashionable prom outfit style to attract attention. With a resurrection of puffy, boat neck dresses, repleat with tulle not to mention tying at the back with sizeable bows.
