Chapter 36- Cinderella

He opened the news papers it was page 3 of the London times, there splashed across the whole page was their photograph, she was in a beautiful yellow golden gown and he was in an Armani black suit, he bubbled like hot water seeing them like that, oh how it annoyed him, he touched her smiling face softly with his fingers, and then he saw his face, he picked up a pen and crossed his face out and said

Voice: there is no way she will be yours, at least not in this life

Turned to his cell phone and dialed a number on it as the person on the other side picked up he said

Voice: hello ya its me shyam, get the house ready, I am picking up the package tonight,... yes tonight,

As he disconnected the phone he had a dirty smug on his face

Meanwhile back in the raizada mansion khushi woke up from her sleep it was a nice bright sunny morning, the birds chirped as the hot sun rays hit the window pane, she rubbed her eyes and stretched for the alarm clock to see it was only 5:30, she turned to her side to see naina fast asleep, for some reason she wanted to see him and cuddle him, she quietly got up and made her way across the hall, and entered his room, and there he was sleeping like a little baby with his dark purple jumper and black tracks, she sat on the side of his bed and stroked his hair, as she touched him he let out a cute smile on his face, and in a spur of a moment, he shifted his head from the pillow to her lap, khushi left out a small chuckle the noise woke him up and he opened his eyes, and as he opened them he saw her watching over him, his smile widened as he saw her, he really looked like a small child

Khushi good morning

Arnav snuggled into her lap making himself comfortable on her warm lap, as she stroked his soft hair, they sat like that for a long time until anjili interrupted them, now nani had put down a very important rule for the two of them, they couldn't share the same room until they got married, now as they very famous saying goes, rules are meant to be broke, and that was exactly what they did, they sneaked in at night to sleep and cuddle with each other and at the crack of dawn they would exit so no one could catch them, but today with anjili at the door they were about to get caught, arnav quickly removed his head from her lap and they both looked at each other worried

Khushi arnav what are we going to do

Arnav calm down

They knocked kept increasing and increasing as anjili chanted

Anjili chottey wake up

Arnav: (yelled) ya di

Khushi: (she held his hand and looked worried) arnav, I am scared

Arnav: (got up from the bed and lead her to the pool side) come on go from here

She kissed his cheek and then left from the back entrance of the pool side, and arnav made his way to open the door to anjili,

Anjili; chottey what took you so long

Arnav: uh di, I was in the bathroom

Anjili: ok, chottey come down quick, Mr roy is here

Arnav: ya di I am coming

Arnav shut the door and went to get ready to meet mr roy, meanwhile khushi got busy with her regular chores, she was doen at the breakfast table serving naina and nani breakfast when he came down and saw her, they both smiled at each other remembering their narrow escape today, arnav made his way to the study where mr roy was seated

Arnav: good morning mr roy

Roy: good morning ASR, I have brought the papers for you (he handed him the file)

Arnav (receiving the file) ahh yes thank you, (he opened it to read it)

Roy: but arnav if you don't mind my asking, why are you buying this property, I mean the place is very dark and dungy and more over you are going to have to make several renovations

Arnav: I know but its perfect, this is exactly what I need, as my business advisor I think I can disclose this information to you, Roy the thing is that its been a dream for khushi to open her own bridal boutique, and I have all my mind to fulfill her dreams,

Roy: I understand that, but do you need a floor building for it

Arnav: ya I do actually, because on the ground floor will be her bridal boutique and the factory where she can produce all her dresses will be on the other floors and on the top floor will be her very own office

Roy (looking impressed) wow ASR you really have the best idea's

Arnav: thank you, I want to hand this to her on our wedding night as a wedding present

Naina who was hiding behind the door listening to arnav couldn't control her excitement she ran in to her daddy

Naina: wow daddy, your opening a dress shop for mom

Arnav: (a bit shocked to see her) baby what are you doing her

Naina (bit scared)sorry dady, I came without asking

Arnav: (smiled and kissed her cheeks) that's ok princess

Roy who was watching the two was a bit shocked to see arnav like this arnav introduced naina to roy, naina promised to keep it a secret and also promised to stay quiet and arnav allowed her to stay

Roy so arnav have you thought of a name for the company

Arnav: not as yet, I have been researching for names

Naina who was silent looked at the two men and in a spur blurted out

Naina: how about Cinderella

Roy looked at naina and laughed while arnav looked at her and an idea struck his head, the name was perfect, ya it was a bit childish and silly, but it was true every girl wanted to grow up and look like Cinderella on her wedding day, and he knew khushi would love it

Arnav: u know princess that's perfect

Roy: (confused) what

Arnav: that's absolutely perfect roy get the papers ready, I want to register the company on that name

Roy: but ASR

Arnav: what

Roy: you cant be serious

Arnav went on to explain his concept which shocked roy to no end, it was a smart concept though, with that roy left to get the papers ready
