Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Areesha's P.O.V.

.

Returning from Khushi’s house, I kept thinking how would I tell Arhaan and convince him about this.

I never made Arhaan to do anything against his wish but what would I have done this time! Whatever was happening with Khushi was due to the incident of that night.

But the incident of that night was pure coincidence. That night Arhaan appeared in front of Khushi when she was in badly need of someone to save her.

And Arhaan did help her and that too doing something really unlikely of him. Maybe that incident was just an indication for me that whatever I was wishing from within could be turned into a reality.

But for this I also have to do something being out of the way generally I have always been.

I have to convince Arhaan somehow. Having this in mind, I forwarded towards the living room but got stopped midway when I heard Esha saying that to Arhaan.

Hearing Esha, Arhaan got shocked and just uttered, “What!”

Then he saw me and spoke up, “What is it api? What is Esha saying? Why did you say something ridiculous like that to her?”

I sat beside him and spoke up normally, “Why is it ridiculous, Vai?”

He looked at me confusingly and uttered, “Don't tell me you are serious about it!”

I looked straight at him and questioned him again, “What if I am serious about it?”

He looked at me and spoke up sarcastically, “Api, what are you going on blabbering?”

“I am not blabbering, Vai. I am serious about it like really. I want you two to get married.” I spoke up sternly.

He stood up immediately and spoke up, “Api, are you even listening to  yourself what you are saying? Me and marriage and that too with that girl, Khushi!! Have you gone mad?”

I tried to say something again, “Arhaan, Vai whatever happened that night..” but didn't get to complete my say as he spoke up in between, “Api, don't tell me, you are thinking something ridiculous happened between us that I have been hiding from you.”

Hearing him, I spoke up while shaking my head, “No, Vai. I know the way you are. Even if aunty said something about it on the party, I wouldn't have believed her.”

“Then why are you being like this! That night I was just helping her. That was the demand of situation. Nothing much. And you know, I just can't stand that girl, Khushi.” Arhaan tried to reason his points.

But hearing his last line, I spoke up, “I know, you can't stand her but still you helped her. Even you addressed her as your wife. That's not more like you.”

He asked me with an irritated face, “What are you referring Api?”

“Nothing. I just want something happen to your life that will change the way you are. Someone comes to your life who will make you live your life happily and I think Khushi can create that something. She can be that someone ..”

Before I complete my say, he spoke up, “Api, it's not like I am living unhappily and besides the theory of yours of a girl who will change me is something never gonna happen. Even if there is a girl for me, she is not Khushi. I am sure of that.”

Emphasising more on the word Khushi, Arhaan completed his say and I asked him, “How do you know that? How come you are so sure of that?”

Arhaan spoke up staring at me, “Api, please stop it. I don't want to get married. Not now and not to her at least.”

I asked him again with a serious tone, “Then when and to whom?”

He let out a sigh in irritation but didn't utter anything and I spoke up again, “Vai, if there is anyone whom you like then tell me. If not then why are you being like this? And I am not forcing you to marry her. But she is a nice girl. Give her a chance. Meet her and know for yourself and then decide. I am sure you will be”

Cutting me off, he uttered quite loudly, “Api please” and right then we heard Muhib uttering from behind, “What happened?”

Arhaan turned to him and spoke up, “Ask Api.” and left the place.

Muhib got near me and uttered, “I told you not to go overboard. You know how is he. Why are you forcing him?”

Looking at him, I spoke up, “Okay you tell me. Is there any possibility of his choosing any girl and settling down with her all by himself?”

Hearing me, he uttered, “I know the possibility is quite little but who knows he might”

Being irritated, I cut him off and spoke up, “Stop it Muhib. Don't you want him to get settled down and be happy?”

“Of course I want that but” hearing this much, I spoke up, “No but. And do you think Khushi is a bad girl?”

He shook his head and I said again, “Do you have any other girl in your mind for him?”

He again shook his head and I stood up and said, “Then either help me convincing him or just keep quiet.” and left the place.

Arhaan's P.O.V.

.

Leaving Vai and Api with themselves, I came back to my room. I wasn’t getting what has gotten into Api to think like all this.

I wasn’t just expecting something like that. And I didn’t even think about marriage. I just don't get the thought of 'Being crazy in love for someone. It's always been a crap to me.

But api always kept telling me that there will be a girl for me without whom I will feel like going crazy and my life will be like incomplete.

I don’t think there is the least of possibility of something happening to me in anytime of future.

And now she is telling me that Khushi is that girl. Like seriously Khushi!!

Giving that thought a break, I started working on a file as Aman, my secretary called me to inform that the file, I was expecting, he had mailed me.

After working on that file for sometime, I got downstairs as I heard Api calling out my name.

She was setting the table for dinner. I got near her and spoke up, “Api where is” but cutting me off, she spoke up, “Here.”

Getting confused, I turned to the directed way and found my favourite sugar free sweet in a plate in front of me.

I uttered happily, “Thanks api.” but she didn't answer me and started feeding Esha.

I looked at Vai and he just gave me an assuring look. The dinner time went on silently for us except Esha who was talking on random stuffs nonstop.

After dinner, Api went upstairs taking Esha as she was feeling sleepy and I sat in the living room with Vai. We kept talking on business stuffs for sometime. Then I started looking towards upstairs every two minutes expecting Api to come to us.

But when she didn't even after almost 1 hour, I looked at Vai with a sad face. Understanding the situation, he spoke up, “Arhaan, you know your Api very well. And I also think, you should settle down now. I also think Khushi is a good girl. What's the problem with meeting her? Even after knowing her, if you think she is not the one for you, you can refuse to marry her, right?”

I tried to utter, “But Vai” but he cut me off and spoke up, “Arhaan, decision is yours yaar. After meeting her, if you get a reason for rejecting her, Areesha won't force you then and she won't be upset with you also. So can't you just give it a try?”

I got silent hearing him and after sometime, I got back to my room and started thinking what should I do. Should I just meet her? But what about..

Then something came to my mind and a smirk got along with it on my face and I uttered under my breath, “Okay then. Let's meet Khushi if that's what you want and that's what it takes me to get everything normal.”
