"Sir I enquired at the newspaper office. It was not Mr. Singhania who leaked the news. The media themselves was present at the party and they had clicked photos!" Akash's PA said.
Akash sighed and nodded.
"You went to him and held his collar right?" Khushi who was there with him in her cabin asked.
Akash nodded and Khushi said, "What made you think that he did it?"
Akash looked away and said, "I don't know! I thought it was his play!"
Khushi sighed and said, "Forget it! Concentrate on the ad shoot. When is Ruhaan coming?" "In an hour!" Akash said.
"Doesn't it affect you?" Akash asked. Khushi looked at him frowning. "Doesn't it affect you that that boy is being linked to you?" Akash asked.
Khushi looked at him and said, "Media makes fuss on small things. Never mind it!"
"But doesn't it..." "Jeeju, let's meet the shoot director!" Khushi said and walked away while Akash sighed and followed her.
"What do you mean?" Khushi asked furiously.
"Yes mam, we didn't get anyone to take up the role of Ruhaan's parents!" Director said.
"So what now?" Akash said.
"Mam, if you don't mind, why don't you take up the role of Ruhaan's mother?" Director asked and Khushi looked at him shocked.
She could feel everyone gaze on her. The whole people of the set were looking at her. She said angrily at the director, "So suddenly you got the insight that I would be good for the role or is that the newspaper report made you think that?"
"No mam, aisa kuch nahi hai! I think this role suits you. Even if it was some other celebrity in place of Ruhaan, I would have suggested it!" Director said.
"I'm sorry! I can't!" Khushi said sternly.
"Mam, yesterday we couldn't shoot. If the shoot is delayed again the loss is for you. And I'm also not free. I can only be here for today and tomorrow! So you can decide!" Director said.
"So what now?" Arnav asked to Akash when director said that there are no one to do Ruhaan's parents' role.
"Sir, I talked to you about this yesterday. Why don't you try?" Director asked.
Arnav sighed and said, "No"
"Sir, please..." Director said once again.
"Who is doing Ruhaan's mom's role?" Arnav asked.
"Khushi mam and you will do his father's role." director said.
Arnav looked at Khushi shocked and said, "I'm not doing this!"
"Sir, I just suggested. You are Ruhaan's dad. No one could be perfect for this role other than you. And Khushi mam will also look good in camera. You both suit well for this role!" director said.
Ruhaan who was listening to all this said, "I think it's a good idea. Dad, you'll rock! Just do it!"
Arnav sighed under his demand and said, "Okay fine!" And he looked at Khushi who looked away to the director and asked, "What about our costumes?"
"They'll show you!" he said showing some men who gestured them to follow them.
"START CAMERA...ACTION!"
"How's this?" Khushi asked showing a dark blue frock.
Arnav and Ruhaan nodded no and Ruhaan said, "Mom, nothing is good here! We'll go somewhere else!"
"We've already gone to seven shops Sammy (Ruhaan's name in the ad)...not anymore!" Arnav declared.
Khushi threw the dress on the table and said huffing, "This boutique is useless. Now where will we find a dress for our princess?"
"Mamma, we'll go AK Fashion Boutique!" Ruhaan shouted at once.
Arnav and Khushi looked at him and he said with glistening eyes, "AK Fashion Boutique is the best! I'm sure, I'll get the best dress for my sister there...come we'll go..."
"Couldn't you tell this before?" Arnav asked irritated.
Khushi chuckled and Ruhaan said, "Err...dad..."
"Arrey chalo..." Khushi said and dragged Ruhaan and Arnav.
"CUT IT!" director commanded.
"Guys, you rocked!" Ruhaan cried at Arnav and Khushi.
Khushi unwrapped her hand which was around Arnav's arm and looked at him. He was looking at her and she slowly moved apart from him.
"Khushi mam, you're great!" Ruhaan said and Khushi smiled faintly and walked away mumbling thank you.
"Sir, we'll shoot the next tomorrow. By tomorrow we'll finish the ad." Director said to Arnav and Akash.
Nodding his head Arnav asked, "So tomorrow we'll shooting from AK boutique right?"
"Yes" director nodded and said, "And the costumes I had sent it to Ruhaan and he told to get your approval."
"I'll look into it!" Arnav said and he walked away after bidding bye to director and also to Akash who didn't return it back.
Ruhaan watched him going and signed Aman who nodded. Aman walked to Khushi who as searching something. "Mam," he called and Khushi looked at him. "Are you searching for your bag?" He asked and she nodded.
"I saw it in that room!" Aman said pointing to a room. "Thanks Aman" Khushi said and walked to the room.
"Dad, what happened?" Ruhaan asked. "I think I forgot my phone somewhere!" Arnav said searching for his phone.
"You have kept it in that room right?" Ruhaan asked pointing to a room. "Oh yeah, thanks Roo!" Arnav said and walked to that room.
Arnav entered the room and found it empty. He saw his mobile on the table and walked to it. He took it and was about to turn when something hit him hard on his chest.
Khushi entered the room and saw her bag lying down with all its contents on floor. Muttering something she bend down and collected her bag and was about to rise when she heard the door being open. She stood up and turned when she hit something hard.
"AAH!" she cried as she stumbled backward but soon felt a warm hand holding her waist balancing her. She hung on to the person. It didn't take her a nanosecond to know who the person is.
Arnav watched Khushi hitting him and suddenly held her waist to prevent her from falling. Her long hair fell on her face and she hung on to his collar. He held her close as he found her stumbling on her heels and she looked at him.
Arnav stared at her beautiful face which was so close to him, after 7 years. The last he saw her face so close to him was the bachelor party night when he had got to see every shade of her beauty. He lifted his right hand and slowly removed the hair strands which was covering her face with his left hand on her waist while she hung on to his collar closing her eyes feeling his touch after seven years.
It was then his phone rang.
Khushi recovered from the trance and suddenly moved apart pushing him. Arnav stumbled a bit and hurriedly switched off his phone. He looked at her who was looking at him in tears. She wiped her tears and turned to go when he held her hand.
"Leave my hand!" She said sharply.
"First hear what I have to say!" Arnav said,
"JUST LEAVE MY HAND!" Khushi shouted.
Arnav held his tight and pulled her to him. Her back hit his chest and he held her arm tighter. "Hear me first Khushi" he said frustrated.
Khushi started struggling to free her arm when she heard him whisper, "I didn't leave you at mandap Khushi. I was coming to you!"
She stopped struggling and turned her head to his direction. She heard him whisper in her ears, "I never left you Khushi. I can never leave you!"
"Well you did that!" she said with her voice chocking.
She closed her eyes and gasped when she felt him trailing his hand down her arm and holding her palm. Lifting his palm he kissed it softly and murmured along the kiss, "I love you"
"You don't" she hissed and pulled back her palm.
"I do, I really do!" he confessed.
"Then why didn't you come that day?" she asked furiously.
"Because of me!" another voice came in and they both looked at the door to find Ruhaan.
