Chapter 14--- solutions

She entered into his cabin to see a lot of people were crowded around his desk, out of which one was akash and the other was anjili, the rest of them were all in black suits and pants and sitting on the chair in front of the desk was arnav, the tv was on, and the news showed how arnav khushi and naina got into the car, khushi went up to him and took a deep breath all the eyes followed her

Khushi: (calmly) how did all this happen

ASR: (looked up at her and then with his right hand he swept all his things down from the table and shouted) how the hell am I suppose to know

Anjili was going say something when khushi took another breath to control anger, and she said

Khushi: look if you think I did it then you are absolutely wrong, mr raizada I didn't in fact I am equally shocked as the rest of you (anjili finally took a step further and put her hand on her shoulder and gave her a smile)

Anjili: khushiji its alright these things happen

Khushi acknowledged anjili and akash step forward and also supported her while arnav looked at them, he knew it wasn't her fault but he was so pissed, khushi knew that, that's what she expected hence she was calm

Khushi: arnavsir what's the solution to this problem,

Arnav :(looked at her and then at his PA) aman what do you suggest, how should we control the damage

Aman: sir, first things first, I had a word with the reporter who had reported all this I sort of cornered him and he told me that, yesterday when u dropped khushi home he met a man who gave him a lead that there is something between you and that child is yours

Arnav: (clenching his fists) shyam!! (he burst out)

Khushi: why would shyam do that, I mean what would he get out of creating this news

Arnav: he would after I dropped you home I went down the stairs and headed to my car and there I met shyam who warned me to stay away from you because he thought that there was something between us, and he also put up a challenge that u will go to him at the end, and you will be his, to which I told him to take a hike and stay away from you because he was bothering you, he must have done this so that you come here and fight with me and then go crying to him   

 Khushi: (shocked her eyes wide) in the morning he told me that I should fight with you, and that it isnt my fault and its yours, until babies, I mean peter told him to shut up and stay out of it, (she narrated to arnav)

Arnav: who is peter

Khushi: my roommate, but I can't believe shyam would do this

Akash: but whats his problem khushiji, is he troubling you

Khushi: he is my landlord and yes he is, in fact he pesters me to marry him, I keep turning him down, and yesterday arnav sir also told him, peter and I are fed up of him

Anjili: don't worry khushiji it'll be fine

Arnav: aman, you were saying about the damage control

Aman: yes sir, the solution is that I feel that you and khushi and her daughter should stay away from London for some time, we will tell the press that your travelling on a business meeting and khushi has taken the weekend off till you are back, we will also give the statement that as a gentle men you didn't let your sectary travel alone home as it was late and she had a child with her, and its unsafe to travel so late so you offered her a lift and about the child being yours (he paused and took a breath) we should tell them the truth that there is no connection with you and the child and the child is from khushi's first marriage

Khushi was about to correct him when arnav said

Arnav: the child is adopted, khushi is unmarried, its her sisters child

Aman: my apologies sir, (the he turned to khushi and smiled) khushi

Arnav: but aman, why should we leave the city, we can just clear that straight away,

Aman: sir the more direct you are with the press the more they twist it, I suggest that its best you stay away till the matter subsides

Anjili: that's a great idea, you can go to Barbados, to the beach house, its quite and secluded and no one will know you three are there

Akah: ya di that's a good plan

Khushi: (a bit unstable) but, sir and me alone…. (she looked at anjili)

Anjili: oho khushi, chotte is hot tempered but don't worry he doesn't bite, u and naina will be fine, in fact you will be safe,

Khushi nodded her head, and arnav said

 coming from family, (then he turns to khushi) can your room mate talk to the press on your behalf

Khushi nodded and gave him the green signal

Aman, nk anjili and akash stepped into the conference room,

Anjili: thanks aman, I know it was hard for to string the plan this way, but its good you managed to pull it through

Aman: (smiled) your welcome mam, I should go now I have to handle the press (saying he left)

Akash, looked confused while nk and anjili smiled at each other excites

Nk: di our plan worked

Anjili: I know I am so happy

Akash: will someone please tell me whats happening

nk: oho calm down akash, we told aman, to make this plan of them going to Barbados for sometime

Akash: but why

Anjili: because I think chotte and khushi have a special connection with each other

Akash: (shocked) what

Nk: akash, please don't tell me you haven't noticed how they are around with each other,

Akash: but they fight like cats and dogs

Anjili: yes they do, but still they manage each other so well, haven't seen the way khushi takes care of him, and he does equally the same, I am telling you akash there is something special

Akash: but di whats the point of sending them to Barbados

Anjili: because this way they will spend time together and figure out what they mean to each other, look I don't know how far the plan will work, but I feel this will bring them close, khushi is a nice girl nani and I have seen her closely and we think she is perfect for him,

Akash: and what about the child

Nk: the child is adorable; she will be fine, they will be happy di is right

Anjili: we took advantage of the press situation to plan this

Akash was shocked but he liked the idea, I mean may be khushi was the right girl for him, she was the only one who could handle him in every situation, maybe there was a connection, he decided to play along

Arnav: so its settled then, get ready at 6, the car will come to pick you up and bring youback to office where I will meet you and we will leave for Barbados, (turning to akash) akash have the helicopter ready at sharp 6,

Khushi went back home and explained to peter what they had discussed in AR designs, she explained to them the plan telling that she and naina would go to Barbedos with arnav and that no one should know, she also told him that the one to spread the news was shyam, peter was furious with the news, khushi told him not to take action and that she would deal with him before she left, it was around 5:00 clock and the door bell rang shyam entered in and saw khushi packing,

Shyam: khushiji where are you going

Khushi: somewhere (she said in a cold tone)

Shyam: what happened did you tell that ASR off or no

Khushi: shyam, I know you mislead the reporters to win the challenge you put up against arnav sir

Shyams: (eyes grew wide and he fumbled) uh uh…

Khushi: why did you do it ?

Shyam: because I was seeing he was getting close to you and that was a problem, khushiji I love you (he said holding her by the shoulders)

Khushi: (tried to loosen her grip) leave me, how many times do I have to tell you I don't love you, why cant you understand, please stop ruining my life

Shyam: (stunned) khushiji I am ruining your life!!

Khushi: (folded her hands in a traditional form) please don't make a mess of my life please, I have nothing more to say to you

By the time peter came in and told khushi

Peter: khush, u ready you will be late

Khushi: in a muinte where is naina

Shyam: but khushiji where are you going

Peter: ugh what is he doing here

Shyam: I am not talking to you I am talking to her

Khushi: shyam, look I told you once I am going somewhere, where I am going I don't need to tell you,

Naina came out with her stuff toy in her hand

Naina: mom I am ready

Khushi: good, just make your hair

Peter: come on, sweet heart

They all headed o the door and shyam stood there

Khushi: shyam you need to leave shyam so we can lock the house

Shyam came out and peter shut the door and locked the house

Shyam: where are going khushiji, please tell me

Khushi: to Barcelona (she lied to get him of her back)

Shyam: with who

Peter: with me

Shyam: but khushi ji…

Khushi couldn't carless she and naina walked to the car that arnav sent put in the bags and the 3 of them reached AR office, leaving shyam angry and annoyed that his plans didn't work
