One Night With You Part-4

Part-4:


In Evening

At Hotel

Arnav entered the hotel...he was invited for a cocktail party from his friends...he was standing at the bar...and having his drinks...he doesn’t like dancing...or not even music...he was here just to change his mood...especially he wanted to remove the thought of that Khushi...and the eyes of that girl...but nothing can help him...he was sipping his drinks...when a friend of his came to him...

Friend1: hey ASR...come lets dance...
Arnav: you know...i don’t dance...(denyign his friend without looking at him and sipping his drink)
Friend1: yeah yeah i know...at least you’ll have the treat??
Arnav: treat?? what treat??(with confused face...looking at his drink)
His another friend came  there...and interrupted...
Friend2: yeah...won’t you enjoy the night tonight? (patting on Arnav’s shoulder)
Arnav: lets see..i am not sure...(facing the bar...showing the bartender to fill the empty glass..)
Friend2: oh come on ASR...just look around you...cheeks are dying to get attention...
Arnav: these are cheap...(he looked around...made a face of irritation)
Friend2: then you must get the expensive one...(winking another friend)
Arnav: meaning?(still concentrating on his drink)
Friend2: Suzana...one of the most expensive treat in town right now...
Arnav: hmm...heard about her for the 1st time...(looking at his friend)
Friend1: yes of course...she is not a model...and she doesn’t go with anyone so easily...actually she goes only for the business class people...(with an attitude)
Friend2: and this way...she is perfect for you...(raising his eyebrow)
Arnav: thanx for your advice guys...(looking at the glass...then looked at his friend)...but I really don’t need them..ASR doesn’t go behind any girl...girls come behind him...(with signature attitude)

Saying this Arnav left the bar....walking to the exit door of the pub...just then a model from AR design came to him...
Model: hey ASR...(trying to near him...touching his face from forehead to cheek with index finger)
Arnav: hey...(without any expression)
Model: leaving so early?? won’t you buy me a drink?? (with a seducing smile)
Arnav: no...

He moved from there leaving the girl heartbroken....he was passing the corridor...his phone rang...he was searching his phone in his pocket so he didn’t notice his way...he got his phone about to took the call...just then he collided with someone...he didn’t notice that much...just moved his head towards her to say a sorry...then moved ahead...after some steps he freezed on his way...his eyes got wide...he just could utter one word...”KHUSHI!!”

Arnav turned to see the person with whom he had collision...he walked fast to trace the person but he couldn’t find anyone...he thought of asking someone...but there were so many people who would notice single person...he just looked around for sometime to have one glance of her...but failed...he then thought it must be his imagination...he went of the hotel in rush...and left the place to go RM...

Khushi was standing in front of the mirror of the ladies room...she was breathing hard...it was so close she thought...has he seen her?? has he recognised her?? no its not possible...he didn’t even bother to look at the person who bumped into him...no he didn’t see her...she got so scared that her face looked pale...she hold the basin slab for balance...if he has noticed her, then he’ll tell everyone in orphanage about her...the last place she finds peace will be taken away from her...but she can’t blame anyone for this...

Its been 10 mins...Khushi was still standing in front of the mirror leaning to the basin slab...she was lost in her thought...when she got a call...she took the call to find Nikhil on the other side...who asked to be on time at her client’s room...she nodded affirmative...and hang up the call...she composed herself...did her touch up...applied some gloss on her lips...fixed her dress...and moved out from there to her destination...


At RM

Arnav was crossing the living area...when he saw Akash sitting on the couch...Arnav went near to him...
Arnav: Akash...you still awake??
Akash: via...woh..i was waiting for you..
Arnav: oo..anything urgent??(with concern)
Akash: yes vai...come let's sit..
Arnav: okay...

Both brother sat on the couch side by side...Akash facing to Arnav started...
Akash: vai....woh...
Arnav: what Akash??
Akash: vai woh...(cut by Anjali)

Anjali came to them...
Anjali: areh chotte?? you are home??(with a sweet smile)
Arnav: just came...(looking at Anjali)
Anjali: shall i ask HP to serve your dinner?(caressing Arnav’s head with her hand)
Arnav: no Di thanx...I am not hungry...
Anjali: are you sure?? have you taken your medicine??
Arnav: yeah Di..i am sure...(nodding to her)
Anjali: then both of you...go to your room..its late night...(with a commanding voice)
Arnav: Di...just give us a minute...Akash wants to say something...(looking at Akash)
Akash: its ok vai...we can talk later...
Arnav: are you sure??
Akash: yeah vai...you go and take rest...Di is right its quite late..(with a casual smile)
Arnav: ok then Good night everyone...
Akash & Anjali: Good night...

All of them went to their rooms...Akash was very tensed now..he wanted to discuss something very important about their past...but how could he tell Arnav...he thought...Shashi uncle was so close to his heart...and now he is no more...and he doesn’t even know his family...will he be able to digest the truth...that the person who helped him to establish his business when they were in lucknow is no more...Akash was thinking to wait for some more time...then he’ll disclose the truth in front of Arnav...thinking this Akash slept...

Arnav was lying on his bed...he closed his eyes to get some sleep...but suddenly Khushi’s face came in front of him...he opened his eyes...then again closed them...he was trying hard to remove the thought...when those hazel eyes started to haunt him again...he again opened his eyes...he sat on his bed...took a glass of water from the side table and gulped them at once...then lied down...closed his eyes...he saw today’s girl...he then again got up from the bed...he went to the pool side...

Arnav was standing at pool side...looking the at water...the reflection of the stars in the water...the moonlight was giving him a silent nod of peace...but he was thinking again about the girl...it can’t someone else...he can’t be wrong...it must be her...but what will she do there?? and if it was her then why didn’t she stop to look at him...he sat on the chair at the poolside...he was staring at the sky...then he dozed off...


At Khushi’s flat

Khushi opened her flat main door...she entered and took a deep sigh of frustration...another haunting day in her life...another man marked her with his lust...with his money...and she was dying every moment thinking that she’ll be more strong....but she is now dying...not only from inside...also physically...she just couldn’t take these abuses anymore...but she was relieved for one thing...that she got the payment...and she has transferred the money to the hospital account....

Khushi sat on edge of her window...from there she can see the whole city...the city which has taken her soul...her purity....her all morals...her innocence....she hates this city...from the core of her heart...but then she thanks this city...it gave her those money which is now curing her mother...but what will happen when her mother will come to know about her job...how she manages the money...what she do...some tear was blurring her sight...when someone knocked her door...

Khushi opened the door...it was her neighbour...and her friend also...Sima...
Khushi: Sima...you here?? at this time??(Khushi got confused)
Sima: Khushi...I want to tell you something...(she saw Khushi with worried face)
Khushi: what??(scrunching her brows...)
Sima: not here...lets go inside...(looking behind...as if trying to hide something)
Khushi: ok..

Sima and Khushi went inside...they sat on the couch in living room...
Khushi: would you like to have something??
Sima: i don't want anything...listen i have something to tell you...(got impatient)
Khushi: ok go on...
Sima: Khushi...today police came in this apartment...
Khushi: what??!! why??(shrugging her shoulder)
Sima: I don’t know...but they were looking for you...(looking at Khushi searching for some answer)
Khushi: i don’t understand...(with lots of confusion)
Sima: they were searching you in the building...thank god...no one else saw them...i was passing and talked to them...they asked me about you...i told them to come tomorrow morning...
Khushi: hmm...so..(cut by Sima)
Sima: they are coming tomorrow...morning...
Khushi: ok..(then she thought something)...no problem...i’ll handle...you don’t worry...(making sure she doesn’t show her worry to Sima)
Sima: are you sure??
Khushi: yeah...i am absolutely sure...(holding Sima’s shoulder to assure her)
Sima: ok...so you came home just now??(looking in Khushi’s eyes)
Khushi: yeah...(Khushi nodded...with a slow answer)
Sima: are you ok Khushi??(she her shoulder for the actual answer)
Khushi: I am ok...(with a faint smile)
Sima gave a sigh of helplessness...had some casual chat...and left Khushi’s apartment...
