They just landed in Tempa Florida.. it's so much different from New York.. Whoever is coming from New York will have a hard time to believe it's beginning of February because while it's still extremely cold in New York, Florida's weather is beautiful, neither it's hot nor it's cold and oh yes it's thousands times less crowded than New York.. it's Khushi's first time here, she loved the greenery and weather..
Khushi stands in-front of the large white mansion, removing her sunglasses she kept looking at the house deep in thoughts..
' Woow.. unbelievable, Bhai really bought a mansion..'
Khushi's thoughts broke hearing the voice.. she looked at him and gave him a small smile...
' Let's go inside.. ' he guided her to the inside of the mansion, a house worker greeted them and helped them settle in the living room as big as a soccer field and offered them fresh made juice ..
Khushi kept looking at the living room which is four times bigger than her whole apartment.. Life is unfair, how come some people has so much luxury while others are fighting for a decent living..
Sipping into the juice Khushi called..
'Druhv..'
'Yes babe... '
' The house looks so empty, no one arrived.. '
' You know what, I don't know anyone's arriving schedule, let me call Akash.. '
He took out his phone from the pocket and looking at it, he said,'Network is not good here, I will be right back..'
Druhv left Khushi alone and went outside to make a call to Akash.. Khushi was walking slowly in the living room and stopped nearby a black and white painting..
While she was observing the painting keenly she heard footsteps from the stairs.. She took few steps near the stairs to check who is coming and than at the end of the stairs her eyes felt on the person..
Seeing her the person screamed so loudly that her ears started hurting....
'Khushiiiii... '
Khushi's mouth got wide open hearing the screams, she took few steps forward and right than she was pulled into a bone crushing hug...
' I can't believe it's you Khushi.. '
Khushi was struggling to came out of the hug, 'Leave me.. You are hurting me Lavanya.. '
Breaking the hug Lavanya gave her a wide smile and Khushi smacked her head..
'Ouch.. ' Lavanya rubbed back of her head..
' Why are hugging me like this? you would have break my bones.. '
' Because, I am meeting you after so many months and I am very happy to see you.. Anws I am so surprised to see you here..'
Khushi smacked her head again..
' Ouch, what was that for.. ' Lavanya said annoyingly..
'You probably forgot, I am Druhv's girlfriend and you are the one who introduced us.. I am here with Druhv '
'Yeah.. Yeah.. now tell me, how's things going on with that handsome boyfriend of yours.. '
Khushi smiled and said, ' Good.. '
' I can see, haa.. holidaying together.. ' Lavanya asked raising her eyebrows..
' Yeah.. by the way I am the one who should be surprised what are you doing here.. '
Lavanya smacked Khushi's head.. ' Didn't your boyfriend tell you I did find my very special someone kind of through him'
' kind of through him.. I don't understand..'
'I met him through facebook.. Druhv was the mutual friend..'
' oh he did mention once long ago but we never catch up on that.. '
' Yeah.. Yeah why you guys will talk about me.. you two totally forgot me.. '
'As if you remembered.. '
'I did called few times but you never answered or call back and it's very tough to be connected with those who doesn't have social media..'
Khushi smiled guilty as she doesn't like using social networking sites.. she only use what's app types sight, so that she can be in touch with people she needs too.. she doesn't like unnecessary show off and doesn't like to keep track on people's lives thus she doesn't have social networking apps..
'By the way where is your boyfriend?? I never met him.. ' Khushi asked Lavanya
'I am not here with my boyfriend.. ' Lavanya said with a mischievous smile..
'Than?? .. who are you with.. You are not Druhv's cousin..'
' Of course I am not his cousin but I am going to be his family soon..'
' Lav you lost me, will you please explain?? '
Lavanya raised her left hand and Khushi noticed a sparkling diamond in her ring finger..
'No..Holly shit!!!...You are engaged.. ' Khushi asked widening her eyes..
Lavanya said with uttermost happiness.. 'Yes .. I am engaged... I am engaged..' Lavanya was jumping with happiness like a 5 years old and continued, 'I still can't believe I am engaged and I am here with my fiancé.. '
'Wow.. Congratulations.. ' Khushi hugged her and continued, ' Now I can't wait to meet the boyfriend, uppss.. the fiancé of yours.. btw how come I don't know about this.. '
' Because you don't use social media .. '
'I have a phone and you know the number.. '
' As if you would have picked.. '
'There is something called texting Lavanya.. I am bad at phone calls but I always reply texted.. '
Lavanya wanted to say something but Druhv showed up and seeing Lavanya he said, ' Hey look who is here.. Bhabi ji.. ' he gave a side hug to Lavanya..
' Shut up Druhv, don't call me that.. Bhabi ji sounds so tacky.. call me Lav.. '
' Your wish is my command Bhabi ji.. ' Druhv said with a smile..
'You.. ' Lavanya points a finger to Druhv getting annoyed..
' Stop it Druhv.. don't bother her.. ' Khushi said..
' Now I have to stop as my lady ordered and I dare not to follow it.. ' Khushi smiled at him and he side hugged her..
' wwuuu.. wow.. So much love is in the air..' Lavanya said..
Khushi asked, 'Since How long you are dating because last time I checked you were very single.. '
' 6 months almost and he proposed a week back.. ' Lavanya said with shining eyes showing her ring again..
' Isn't it pretty soon to get married.. ' Khushi asked in confusion...
' Absolutely not.. when you meet the right now.. ' Lavanya said..
' I totally agree.. ' Druhv said.. Khushi just nodded...
' You know about the engagement, you never mentioned..' Khushi asked looking at Druhv..
' Aren't you and Lavanya friend, I thought you knew.. '
' If I knew I would have mentioned it to you.. wouldn't I Druhv?? '
'Sorry, I think it's slip my mind.. '
Lavanya made a sad face, ' You guys are behaving like it's not a big deal. '
'Of course it's a big deal and we want a huge celebration.. ' Khushi said..
' Yes .. I will through a huge wedding.. what's the point of having an ultra rich fiancé .. ' Lavanya said with a crispy voice almost jumping in joy..
Khushi looked at Lavanya how happy is she looking, can one person make another this happy.. Is this the happiness of having an ultra rich partner or the love she is feeling inside making her this happy.. Khushi sighed
'By the way where are the rest??.. Akash said he will be reaching soon..' Druhv asked..
' Akash is driving from Chicago, right?? ' Lavanya asked..
'Yeah.. such a long drive,this dude has huge patience.. I don't.. ' Druhv said..
' A long drive must have been so much fun.. ' Khushi said excitingly thinking about the long drive from Chicago to Tempa in this time of the year, where you will experience the climate change..
'Yeah,from the passenger seat.. ' Druhv said and Khushi's smile dropped.. is he taunting her for not knowing how to drive...
' You are so lucky, you don't live in Florida.. surviving here without driving is pretty tough.. There public transportation system is very poor..' Lavanya said to Khushi ..
' When did you move here?? ' Khushi asked..
' I didn't..' Lavanya said annoyingly.. ' You really don't know anything about me Khushi.. I still live in New York..'
' Sorry Lav, past few months was really hectic for me and I was not in touch but I promise we will catch up soon.. '
' So, I see you were busy with your certain some one..' Lavanya pushed Khushi with her elbow and pointed towards Druhv..
Khushi smiled and Lavanya said, ' I am so happy to see two of you going strong together .. I should open a business "Lavanya's match making.." I will earn good, I guess.. ' Lavanya started laughing at her own joke.. Druhv and Khushi also joined her in laughing, soon their laughter stopped hearing a noise of the car..
Lavanya looked at the clock and said, 'I think ASR is here.. let me check.. ' She smiled brightly and went outside.. Druhv also followed her..
Khushi sat on the nearby couch.. 'ASR?? Who is ASR??' Khushi was thinking what does ASR mean and than it's clicked her mind ASR means Arnav Singh Raizada... ' So, Arnav Singh Raizada is Lavanya's fiancé?? '...
