Chapter 33- clearing the mess

She ran up to arnav's office, he was on the phone, she quietly made her way to the washroom to wipe her tears, and make a straight face, arnav saw as she came in, she was looking different sad, when she came out of the wash room arnav stopped her
Arnav: khush come here
She did as she was told, the big tear stains were visible on her cheeks, and he was sure that something was wrong, he couldn't see her upset, he hated her tears, it was one thing that would make him melt, but yet be very angry, so he questioned her
Arnav: khush, whats wrong
As khushi saw him she made her way to hug him, she melted in his arms and he caught hold off her, now worried
Arnav: khush tell me what happened damn it (he shouted)
But she just wouldn't stop crying, which was making him more angry, so he decided that if he wanted to find out what was wrong he would have to calm her down, he gave her the space and allowed her to cry, she buried herself onto his chest, and hid herself there, he held her tight giving her as much of support possible, finally after a whole lot of crying, she sniffed and popped her head up to see him staring at her with calm and relaxed eyes, she slowly freed herself from his grip and they both looked at each other and then he took a deep breath and asked her
Arnav: what happened (he had softness in his voice)
Khushi: nothing arnav, (she never wanted to tell him about the incident)
Arnav: khushi (he raised his voice a bit but then calmed down) what happened
Khushi still sniffing and crying explained to him about the incident, and about what lavanya said and how she turned everyone in the office against her and naina, as arnav heard each word his blood pressure raised and his fists clenched into a ball, he had the ASR look in him, he was ready to attack lavanya for insulting his fianc, but when khushi told him that she insulted naina as well arnav had, had enough, he caught hold of khushi by the hand and dragged her down to the dress department, a shocked khushi tried to calm him down, but it was too late, lavanya had pushed to wrong buttons and now nothing would calm arnav down, arnav had ordered one of the employees to call leonard down, who was the head accountant,
As he entered the dress department, everyone was busy on their sewing machines and laptops, arnav held khushi's hand and walked in firmly and ranted,
Arnav: (yelled) lavanya
Everyone halted and looked up to see a furious ASR in front of them, his face was red and his eyes looked like they were ready to kill, the focus shifted khushi who looked petite, who was crying, and had her hand firmly in arnav's
Lavanya came running from behind, she was wearing one of the designed garments, she had come in for fittings as she made her way to arnav she saw that khushi was with him and she was holding his hand, she presented herself forward,
Arnav: from now on your services are no longer required you may clear your bonds and leave
Everyone, gasped out aloud in shock, as arnav spoke, no one expected this to happen, not even khushi, they all were in a shock,
Lavanya: (trying to explain) but ASR (she wined)
Arnav: (firmly) you heard me leave, (he turned to leonard) I want all her bonds cleared and have her dismissed
Leonard, who was usually so mean to khushi, just stood still and nodded in silence
Lavanya: (now boiling finally spoke) ASR, you are throwing me out for that BITCH!! How can you, can't you see she is with you only for your money, she is using you and since when do you like kids, even her daughter is using you, they are gold diggers
Arnav: (defending) her name is khushi, and she is my fianc, and how dare you talk about my daughter that way
Lavanya: (shocked) your daughter
Arnav: (proudly) yes my daughter
Lavanya: ASR whats wrong with you
Arnav: nothing is wrong with me, (he said clearly) lavanya, who gave you the right to question me like this, don't forget that I am still your boss, you have no reason to create false accusations on khushi, this is my life and I have decided that I am going to marry khushi(he looked stern then he turned to the staff who was watching him, he spoke in a high tone) understand something, none of you have the right to tell me what I have to do and what I don't, khushi is my future wife, and naina is my daughter, you will give them enough respect as they deserve, if anyone, and I mean anyone crosses the line I will immediately dismiss them from my company, from now on everyone will call her mam, whatever is mine is hers and I don't care what you all think, as I am the one marrying her, not you all
As soon as arnav finish the entire AR office froze, everyone came back to their senses, they knew that they were wrong, it was his life, and it was up to him to decide who he would marry and who he wouldn't, if he had chosen khushi, it would have been for a reason, it was not their place to question, as they realized that they had just come into lavanya's talks, lavanya on the other hand was zapped, she couldn't believe it, he just told her off in front of everyone, ashamed by what happened she took off to the wash room where she spent an entire hour crying
Meanwhile arnav left with khushi from the dress department, khushi who was also in shock didn't speak much, she was a bit scared to open her mouth, after seeing his anger rise, when they reached up to his cabin, he made her sit down and gave her a glass of water, and then gathering courage she spoke
Khushi: (in a soft trembling voice)arnav are you ok
Arnav: (looked at her, and let his guard down) yes I am
Khushi: arnav you didn't need to fire her
Arnav: (shocked now) khushi, she insulted you and naina, how could I have not thrown her out
Khushi: but arnav its ok I mean, she is your friend right
Arnav: ya right, if she was she would have been happy not jealous
Khushi: come on arnav calm down (she went to him and patted his back)
