FF : FASHION – THE END OF INNOCENCE
PART 16
Khushi : Your thoughts and my thoughts will never match Arnav .. You see the world through money but I don’t .. Money does not buy you happiness
Arnav : Is it ? See who is speaking ? You ? ( he smirks stepping closer towards her ) It is because of Money you are here ...
Khushi’s eyes went wide hearing him ..
Khushi : what you want to say ?
Arnav : honey it is the truth .. you also know why you choose this field for money .. and even if you are today with me it’s because of money .. The day I won’t have a penny to spend on you .. you won’t be seen anywhere around me ..
Khushi : this is what you have known me all these years ? you think so low of me .. It’s truth I choose the profession so that I can give a good life to my family ... but you think it’s just for your money I am with you .. Pyaar karti hoon apse ... apke paise se nahi .. ( I love you arnav not your money )
Khushi’s eyes brimmed with tears while Arnav just clenched his fist looking at Khushi’s tears
Arnav : There is no meaning of shedding tears when you and me both know that Money speaks louder than any emotions ... ( he steps closer towards her as cups her cheeks leaning to kiss her lips)
Khushi closes her eyes before composing herself as she shrove his hand away
Khushi: our arguments will not lead us anywhere better we stop .. .. you may think the money can buy you anything No ... you know what I miss the life that I have lived in the lane of Lucknow ... I might not have money in my pocket but there was peace ...a certain kind of peace I cannot explain you
Arnav : did you ever starve for food ? have you ever spend your Night in streets ? Don’t give me that shit then !! Your peace won’t feel your stomach or give you a shelter if you don’t have money !! You were lucky that I was there to hold you and show you a way ... But everybody does not get lucky ..
Khushi could see his eyes turning cold as she gulps before she walks towards him as she tried to touch his cheeks
Khushi: what’s bothering you ? I know there is something which makes you like this ... Why don’t share your pain with me ? Don’t you trust me
Arnav : ( smirk ) I don’t trust myself ... I think .. I just need some fresh air ... You just sleep ..
Khushi: where are you going at this hour ? ( she asked as soon as she find him collecting the keys and walks out of the apartment)
*********************************************
Arnav stops the car with a jerk as he let out a deep chuckle recalling Khushi’s words
“ money does not buy happiness “
Arnav: it is just a phrase .. ( He chuckles as he closes his eyes as the flashes from the past reflect in-front of him )
Morales and Values will not fetch you anything until and unless you have the power and Money to buy them
Arnav Singh Raizada has learn it very well in his 33 years of life ... People can see the brighter side there are very less people who knows about the struggle he has to go through to gain this position ...
He let out a dark chuckle , before He starts the engine and drove away
*****************************
Next Morning ,
Khushi just glance at the text letting out a sigh , Arnav have not returned back home yesterday Night .. and now he has just text her the address where the rehearsal for the fashion show would held on..
What is wrong with this man ? the more she tries to understand him the more she get herself into puddle ? Why he have to be like this ? Why cannot he be like others ..
Why amidst all she have to fall for him ? Why among all the choices she could made ? She choose the wrong yet it feels rights to her ..
Arnav Singh Raizada!! What are you ? Who are you ?
********************************************
Khushi frowns as she looks at Hary who just jumped out of no where in front of her
Khushi: what’s wrong with you dude ? you just scared me out ?
Hary : woh... happiness .. you seems to be lost in some thought ? what happens ? had a fight with your Intials ?
Khushi: why do you think that we always fight ? ( she sighed ) yeah kind of you are right .. we didn’t have fight but we argued .. and .. I don’t know I am just becoming a mess
Hary : ( laugh ) Mess ? We only made maze for ourselves and them blame life unnecessarily ? You have quite a good name .. but happiness your identity does not match your name .. ? Does Your boy friend took tax from you for smile ? are you seeing the girl over there selling flowers across the street ( khushi narrowed her eyes ) You think life would be easy for her , but have you ever seen her loosing that smile off her ? No !! Every one has their own battle dear .. But it’s depends on how we are fighting it .. Just see her ... did you find any worry in her ? ( Hary waves his hand towards the little girl who came towards them and he buy a bunch of bouquet from her ) thank you my majesty ( he smiled kissing the knuckles of the little girl who giggles running away taking the dollar )
Hary : have you seen a spider ... when they weaves web ? they will fell tremendous time but then ultimately they will rise up .. this how we all are ... If you have already thought yourself as defeated then you are losing a lost battle happiness .. ( He hands her the flowers )
Khushi : how could manage ?
Hary : What ?
Khushi : you didn’t have anything to worry in your life ?
Hary : what does it do to me if I keep showing my problem to everyone ? First people will show me sympathy then .. they will be fed up sometime and will call me with names behind my back !! pakau .. just like you are turning into

Hary : ouch !! that’s violence .. Police police help me out

Khushi rolled her eyes as she looked at the car that comes to pick her up
Khushi: it’s time for me to go .. bye .. HARPREET
Hary : Don’t call me that .. I hate it ( Khushi laughs out as she opened the car door getting inside )
“Kya Karoon Hayee .. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai “
********************************************
Khushi just glance at arnav who was talking with Mr. Rishab Khurana .. she don’t know why she does not get good vibes around this Khurana . the way he looks at her makes her feel goose bumps through her skin ..
Arnav excused himself as he walks towards Khushi who just smiled at him ..
Arnav : hope you didn’t face any problem coming here
Khushi: you didn’t returned home last night ? aap kaha the ?
Arnav : it’s not a right place for this kind of discussion .. The day after tomorrow is the fashion show and there are lot of works to do .. You go and join the team
Khushi nodded her head walking away as Rishab Khurana walks to Arnav as his eyes were glued to Khushi’s disappearing back..
Rishab : so ASR when I can expect a treat from your side ? ( arnav just glared at Khurana with his eyes turning cold )
Arnav : When do you want her ?
Rishab smirks licking his lips dirtily ...
Rishab : I can’t keep my hands away for so long seeing such a diving beauty roaming freely ..
Arnav : Fine I will do the arrangements .. Be assure ( rishab grinned )
Rishab : How confident are you that She would agree ? She seems different to me feisty ... that’s why I want to tame that kitten ?
What Rishab Khurana failed to notice was arnav’s eyes ..
Arnav : when I give you my words be assure .. Arnav Singh Raizada never do anything without benefits ... and if it’s benefitted me I won’t mind you using her with her will or without her will .. I don’t care .. She is just a Model and she owes to serve my company whether it’s by her skill or by her body!!

Khushi was having problem fixing her back dori ... But suddenly she felt someone ‘s finger roaming through her back tying the knot , at first she relaxed thinking it Arnav but then it was not his touch , She instantly turned around to find Rishab Khuranna who was looking at her lustily making Khushi step back
Khushi : aap ? what are you doing here in my dressing room ?
Rishab : I was just passing by .. and just saw that you were in need in help so just ..
Khushi glared him angrily before she just tried to walk but Rishab Khurana holds her hand making her looked at him
Rishab : Did I do anything to offend you ? Give me a chance to pleasure you Mam ?
Khushi’s shrugged her hand away off him
Khushi: behave yourself Mr. Khurana or else ( she spat out angrily as she rushed out of the changing )room ..
