Khushi was in poolside. she sat there on swing , complaining her problems to devima.

"Why it's always me devimaa, arnav he wants to send me away , why will he keep me anyways right , I'm a outsider and one or other day I have to go ...maybe ....but I don't want to go anywhere ....I will be again lonely " Khushi was complaining which was heard by arnav

"Why do u think u are outsider"arnav said sitting beside her on swing .seeing him Khushi got angry and was about to get up but arnav holded her hand

"We have to  talk " arnav said making her turn towards him

"I don't wish to talk with you " Khushi said turning her face

" I know you are angry on me "arnav said

"Congratulations , now leave " Khushi said in annoy

"Oki khushi hear me " arnav holding her both hands as khushi was moving.

" no I don't  want to talk to you "khushi said trying to free herself.

" please khushi "arnav requested

Khushi looked away not moving from her place .

"What u want to be in yours life khushi" arnav asked

"I don't know " khushi said looking away

" don't u want to be independent in life " arnav asked turning her chin toward him .

"I want to be " khushi said  looking at him .

"That's right , now forget that , it's secondary but u remember right ....In board meeting I told we both are engaged"  arnav said , khushi widen her eyes in shock

"i completely forgot it "khushi said in shock

"That's fine , but after few days this same board will ask you , that time we can't lie again ..."arnav said trying to make her understand

"So u sending me away "khushi asked him pouting

"Not at all , but I want to make  u realise that do u even have any idea what Is happening in company" Arnav asked

"Nope " khushi said

" what will u do khushi when after year or 2 , u will be new face ...that time what are yours plans , do u even have any idea how big firm is gupta empire" Arnav said

"I guess I know, it's 29 floors right ...I don't visit much yaar "khushi said

"Poor JOKE but baby see did u even think about future" Arnav said feeling silly

"Why Arnav,  why u saying me all this ... why are u planning sending  me away" khushi asked

"I will never send u away from me , nor no one will leave u in middle ...I just want to say that  one other other day u have to be new face of gupta empire .and trust me I'll always be yours side to guide u and help u ...but that's not important for now ...main important is yours studies khushi and I want u to be graduated and it's hardly matter of 1 year " arnav tryed to explain .

"I know but I can continue my studies here in Delhi  na why back to London simply" khushi argued back keeping her point.

" I know baby , u can do same  in India but khushi just trust me this last time ...I want to keep u away from India for sometimes away from all " arnav said

"But why ...why away "khushi argued

" there is too much risk here for u,  I want to keep u away from all this .I know I can keep u safe here too but khushi trust me when I'm saying this I won't let single damage happen to u ....u are under my protection  and belive me I thought alot and discussed with akash and finally came to this conclusion " arnav said  holding her both hands .
