The Contrivance

“ASR but I… “ Lavanya
fluttered her false eyelashes and Arnav groaned inwardly. Had it been in a
different scenario he would have feigned that she was irresistible when she
fluttered her eyelashes. But right then, things had changed. And he somehow had
a feeling that they had changed forever! Life was unpredictable. You never knew
when it slipped off your hands. He sighed and said,” You must concentrate on
your career!”
Bloody hell! She never ever worked! Period.
All she did in the
three-year stint as his personal assistant, was to woo him and entertain him!
Everyone at AR industries knew that.
“But how? Where will
I…go?” There she blurted it out! He
thought.
“I made arrangements!
You will work for the Talwalkars!” He said easing her out.
“Talwalkars? The
retail giants?” She questioned with bright eyes!
“Yes babe! Just stay
clear of the second son… he is a little difficult…er…” there he dropped a hint!
She will be busy making him her next catch!
“Oh! Ok! But I shall
miss you!” Lavanya crooned…
“Yeah!” He said,
looking at his watch.
“Wont you miss me
ASR?” She asked.
“I don’t! You know
that!” He said grimly.
“Can I ask you
something?” Lavanya grew bolder now that she was leaving him anyway.
“Sure! Just this
once! Think of it as a parting gift” he said a tad sternly putting her in her
place. None dared to question him!
“Well…don’t you feel
anything? I mean…I know you for the past three years! Don’t you ever…er… feel…
for anyone?” She asked.
“No.”He said without
any explanation…
“But…” Lavanya tried to ask again…
“Lavanya you said one
question. That is done.Now good bye!” He said with a sense of finality.
Lavanya fussed over
for a few more minutes and then left after he literally pushed her to leave.
Arnav sighed deeply closed
his eyes, stepped back and bent to his right and suddenly grabbed a very
slender hand and pulled it with a jerk!
“OUCH!!!!” Khushi
winced as his hand crushed her wrist almost and she felt as if it were wrenched
from her shoulder.
He then turned and leveled
his face with hers and asked,” What are you doing here?”
“ Ba b
aba….Me….I….Aah! I was…” Khushi looked around…It was a very exclusive lounge
and open for members only. She somehow got an entry to track Ranbeera and got
tracked instead.
“ Lady if you don’t
answer me in the next two seconds, I shall book a nuisance case on you” Arnav
growled.
“Why?” She asked him
surprising him.
“Why? You were
following me! And you are stalking me all the time for the past week and a
half.” He said seriously.
“How do you know?”
She asked him.
Khushi get some brighter ideas! He is The Arnav Singh
Ranbeera! A smart Alec! And you blabber like this you will be in deep trouble!
“When someone
breathes down your neck, You get to know!” Arnav said without batting his
eyelids!
She was adorable when
she fluttered her eyelashes unknown to her…he noticed as she had beautiful
expressive eyes that were guileless.
“Cheating! I kept a distance!”
She blurted out!
“Aha! There you go!”
He said triumphantly, tightening his hold on her wrist.
“I…er…I wasn’t…I…was
just here to…er….haan! To meet someone.” She said finally.
Arnav glared at her! “Meet
someone? Who?”
“What’s it to you? I
er… can meet anyone…”She defied him…
“But how come Who I
meet is a concern with you?” There he dished it out.
“Er…not exactly.”
Khushi tried to stall…
“It is! Why were you
listening to me and Lavanya?” He demanded.
“Her name is Lavanya?”
She asked him curiously…”Is she the same Kasyap you are…I mean…”
Arnav glared at her…
“Well….er… was passing by and you happened to be here!”
She said looking here and there…
“Come again? This is not a place you pass by…” he said sarcastically.
“Come again? This is not a place you pass by…” he said sarcastically.
“Er… it is…you see in
my profession I have to meet so many people you know?” She winked at him and
got glared at!
“Oh Yeah? Then tell me why are you eternally hanging around the Ranbeera Mansion?” His next question made her gasp.
“Oh Yeah? Then tell me why are you eternally hanging around the Ranbeera Mansion?” His next question made her gasp.
“You are mistaken
sir!” She put on a genuine phony smile! “I was just happening by…”
He pulled her a
little into him and as she panicked said coldly,” Lady! I am warning you don’t
mess with me!”
“I…aaaaa’mmmmm…..nnnnnnnnnooottt!”
She managed to blurt out, as she felt giddy! The man was closing in on her…She
panicked…
What was happening! Arnav thought as the lady started sweating…her palm was clammy
already and she was…oh no about to faint!
“Here! What’s wrong! Where is your-I am the investigative reporter badge woman?” He was still enquiring when she fainted into his arms!

“I…er…want to go!”
She croaked.
She realsied he
conducted to the nearby sit out that was a private one.
“The hell you will!”
He said breathing out fire.
“You stalk me then
when caught you faint on me, and here see…” he showed his shirt that was fully
drenched.
“Is it raining?” She
asked…
He glared at her…”that’s
your sweat!” He said…
“Whatttt?” She just touched
his shirt-front and he moved back saying! “Thats enough! Now leave!”
“Oh! Thank you!”She
made to move…
“And don’t ever stalk
me” he said…
“Yes sir! I mean no
sir I never ever stalked you.” She maintained her stance.
Arnav glared at her
and said,” I never came across a reporter who can be this stupid. God save your
magazine…”
“Channel sir…you are
going to integrate it soon I heard” she quipped and bit her tongue.
Arnav looked away!
The lady was smarter than he assessed her to be.
He made a straight
face and said,” Now leave”
“Ok! Bye sir!” She
said scurrying away!
Arnav turned and punched a number after she vanished on the far end off the corridor and said,” Aman! Did you get a good coverage! Ok now publish all of it in concerns other than our’s do you understand?”
Arnav turned and punched a number after she vanished on the far end off the corridor and said,” Aman! Did you get a good coverage! Ok now publish all of it in concerns other than our’s do you understand?”
“Yeah! Dailies,
weeklies and also news channels…The lady in my arms – that snap-everywhere! And
try to ward off press when it happens as tonight I am flying to Amsterdam!”
He then walked lazily
to his car and looked at the scattered photos of Khushi Sanjyotiya… and sighed
saying,” Cant help it babe! It’s a matter of my sister!” And drove on.

“GEEEETTTTT
UPPPPP!!!!!” Varsha’s voice woke Khushi up as she said, ”Sunday Yaar! Please
let me sleep!”
“Yeah keep sleeping…
I am sure the press will wake you up!” Varsha quipped…
“Oh! So what’s new!
There must be some scam or a sex scandal! I shall check it out later.” She
groaned out of her duvet!
“You bet Khushi! Just
look at this latest bit of juicy stuff from Aranv R.”Varsha quipped.
“Whaattt? Yaar! Is he
crazy? Only yesterday he sent his girlfriend of three years packing! He is a
busy man!” Khushi said finding her glasses by the side table as Varsha stared
at her oddly and said dazedly,” I don’t know about him Khushi but you have been
busy I feel!”
Khushi looked at the
headlines and a bunch of pictures and looked at Varsha open mouthed and then at
the photos and then at Varsha, and then at the photos!
“What? Stop doing that!”
Varsha bellowed and added,” I thought you were investigating him. But you were
actually checking him out babes! I got it now!”
“What are you …? Khushi
was flabbergasted and said ,” How could you Varsha?”
“Then what’s this?
She showed another paper! Both the women usually got a set of half a dozen
publications- a whole bunch of magazines and newspapers…on Sunday as they both
enjoyed reading.
Khushi looked at them horrified as literally
every cover page had a headline with a photograph of her in Arnav Singh
Ranbeera’s arms!
