It was now the July 18 khushi and arnav were at each other's throats daily, the two would squabble on every little thing, from the coffee to the appointments to arnav would find reasons to pick on her and she would answer him back with all force, the two would argue, khushi would storm out and cry and arnav would make a mess, and poor akash, he was the support system for both, from calming his brother's anger to holding the handkerchief for khushi he would often give both the parties strenght, khushi was fond of akash as he would often understand her issues, and help her out….
Meanwhile the office staff would often make fun of khushi for what move she made, people would tell her she is crazy while some accused her of grabbing his attention, the rest said she needed to check herself with the doctor, khushi would not let these silly talks affect her, she knew why she was doing this, she was doing this because she wanted to prove that she is right, she knew she was capable of being his sectary, even if she dint have the qualifications, she was fit to do his work she knew that, and she need the job for naina, if they didn't have the money how would she educate naina, naina was her biggest priority,
It was around 7 pm and all the office staff left for the day, khushi was waiting for arnav to leave, she was told that she had to stay back until he doesn't leave and he was busy, inside arnav was busy looking at some files when suddenly he felt some heaviness, blowing up against his head, he put his hand on his head to massage the pain, but slowly his eyes became week he realized what this was, it was his sugar level, he opened the draw to take the tablet but by the time he reached the tablet leaf he fainted on his chair slipping down to the floor, khushi was waiting outside, she now waited for full half an hour wondering whats taking him so long she decided to go in, she was about to when she stopped and thought
Khushi: khushi no, he will pounce on u again like he always does, let him come out himself
She turned back and moved to the desk, as her heart kept saying something is wrong he never waited this late, but her head so no wait… after a whole lot of quarreling she mustered the courage to go in, as she opened the door she saw the cabin was empty, she peeped in and howled his name, but no response as she came in further she looked around but still no sign of him, she was worried, finally she was at his desk she saw a small hand peeping out and she ran to see he was on the floor lying unconscious , as she ran to him, she took his head and placed it on her lap and rubbed his head in worry
Khushi: arnav sir, arnav sir (she was on the verge of crying)
She saw the glass of water and took it and sprinkled some water but still no response from her side…. Khushi was very worried, akash also wasn't there, as a matter of fact no one was, what was she going to do, she saw his cell phone and then clicked on the call list, the firs contact she saw was "anjili di" khushi dialed it as she knew it was some family member of his, the phone rang, anjili picked the phone
Anjili: chotte, u called already, did u reach home
Khushi: (now in a worried tone) hello… this is khushi
Anjili: you're his secretary, (she asked remembering her name)
Khushi: yes mam I am his secretary
Anjili: (found worry in her tone and she asked) what's wrong
Khushi: mam arnav sir has fainted I tried to bring him back but nothing seems to work (she breathed fast)
Anjili: (on hearing the news she knew what was wrong it was his diabetes, his sugar went low and it was a matter to worry, but she tried not to panic as she knew khushi was panicking, she gave khushi instructions on the phone) khushi calm down and do as I say, he has fainted because of his sugar level,
Khushi agreed to do what she had asked her to do
Anjili: ok sprinkle water on his face
Khushi: mam I have done that
Anjili: do it again, and rub his hands as well
Khushi did as she was told, she sprinkled more water and then she rubbed his hand, as he slowly started to move, he opened his eyes and khushi left out a sigh of relief.. she made him sit straight so he could rest
Khushi: mam he has gained conscious
Anjili: (also left out a sigh of relief) ok now go the kitchen and get him something sweets to eat, he needs sugar,
Khushi ran to the fridge she saw some chocolates she grabbed them and wet back to arnav, then she opened the chocolate and gave him a piece as he munched on it, she assured anjili that everything was ok and that she would bring him home to her, as she put the phone down arnav asked for his tablets which were on the table she handed him the tablet as he put in his mouth, she put the glass to the edge of his lips, he saw her and she saw him, they gazed at each other as he took sips of water, and then suddenly he started coughing, she bent him a bit and rubbed his back giving him relief…. Once that was done arnav gathered strenght to get up but was unable to she helped him up ad put him on the chair ad said
Khushi: when your done with your work tell me, I will drop you home,
Arnav: u don't need to (he said softly) I am fine, I can manage
Khushi: look I promised your sister that I will drop you home, so let me do it
Arnav: fine let's leave now
They left the building as the driver got the car to the front gate they entered inside, there was pin drop silence from both ends and then finally arnav broke it
Arnav: don't think that by helping me and taking care of me you are going to win
Khushi: (looked at him shocked) look I am not low to help you so I could win the bet, I helped you because you were unconscious and if no one tended to you, you would have been in a bad state, there is something known as humanity
