Chapter 1

Khushi went running from the beach and went back to her room she shut her door and sat on the bed not knowing what just happened. Meanwhile Arnav just looked back at the direction that she ran in wondering what on earth did he say to her that made her react that way. Questions bubbled in her mind who was she where did she come from why was she sad. He walked back off the beach and went to the bar. Seating himself there he ordered a whiskey. In no time he was hounded by the same bunch of girls who were with him on the beach.

Khushi went to her cupboard and removed her night clothes and decided the only thing that could pull her out of the stress is nice warm bath. She filled the bath tub with piping hot water and got into the tub. She laid in the hot water and shut her eyes. The hot water opened her skin pores and she relaxed a bit. She was sitting and relaxing when suddenly her thoughts pulled back to Arnav her heart started to beat a bit and she held on to it. Her mind pictured his image. he tall good looking and had the most cutest stubble. She remembered his voice how he asked her what happened and why she was sad. She could feel his concern. No guy ever spoke to her like that not even Kartic. She opened her eyes and thought to herself who was he and how did he notice her. Why was he so concerned for her. Her heart started to beat for the very first time and she could not understand what was this new feeling that she was going through was it normal or was in abnormal. Khushi couldnt put a finger on it. Not understanding what to do she decided to brush her mind of it and got out the bath tub. Her mind kept saying that she should concintrate on Kartic and on bringing him back not on issues like these. But her heart kept saying otherwise. 

She changed into her clothes and called up room service for dinner. While eating she tried to come up with ways to spend time with Kartic. she hoped her plans would work this time and wouldnt fail her again. It was around 2:30 and Kartic came back. Khushi was still awake. She same Kartic come in she got up from the bed and smiled and said to him 

Khushi: Your back how was the disco

Kartic: it was fine 

Khushi: Kartic next time please can i come i get very board here alone please (she asked him nicely)

Kartic: Khushi we have been through this you cant i told you that before 

Khushi: (brushed it off)Ok at least can we go out tommorrow i have never been to goa ever i really want to see it can you come with me please 

Kartic: no i am busy but what you go by yourself there are tour guides that takes you around goa i cant arrange it for you if you like (he said while taking his clothes in)

Khushi didnt say anything but she was upset that all her attempts were failing. She went to sleep with a heavy heart hoping the next day went off well. But sleep couldnt come over her. She was miserable unable to take it she quietly stepped out of the room and went over to the beach to get away from all the stress she was going through. 

It was morning Arnav returned from a party. He went back to his room and took a quick cold shower. Luckily he didnt drink too much at night. He wasnt even that sleepy so he decided to head to the beach it was 4 am and he was sure that there would be no chicks to stalk him they all must be just returning back to from the party. He just wanted some peace and quite he wanted to enjoy the sun coming up and the seascape.

He walked towards the beach and made his way through the sand and too his surprise he saw that very same girl he met yesterday sitting there at the same spot looking at the sea waves pull in and out of the sand. He was fascinated by her. He walked towards her and sat down next to her hoping he could finally get her to talk to him today. Khushi seemed a bit lost she looked sad and lonely. She didnt even realize when he came and sat next to her. Arnav didnt make a sound he just sat there and looked at her he studied her features. She was beautiful just like a nymph. Why was she so lonely he questioned himself. Her hair flew with the wind it seemed to bother her alot. Arnav couldnt stop himself from moving the lock of hair. The minute she felt his hand move her hair she felt a warmth spread through her but the next reaction she moved away from him. he looked at her not knowing what to say. She stood in front of him and he got up. Khushi was about to turn and walk off when he said to her in a husky voice.

Arnav: Khushi Wait dont go

Khushi stopped turned back She felt nice to hear her name roll from his tongue but then remembering the current situation she looked at him and said in a scared voice.

Khushi: Please dont hurt me please i am not one of those kind of girls i am married please (she began to cry in a scared voice)

Arnav: (inhaled a breath and then said) I wont hurt you what makes you think that. I just want to talk to you thats all

Khushi: Why (she asked curiously)

Arnav: Because i have seen you twice all alone here and you look sad. (he paused and then said) You say you have a husband but still you seem so alone is something wrong

Khushi: (shocked for his concern asked) Its a personal matter

Arnav: Ok fine I understand (he said softly) Look I know we are strangers but can we be friends you seem like a nice girl.

Khushi: I told you I am not that kind of a girl.

Arnav: Look its only friendship nothing more ok. (he took another breath and then said) What ever it is thas going in your life i understand its personal but i would like to tell you one thing.

Khushi: What (she said softly)

Arnav: Your in Goa this is the place for you to forget your problems and just let loose and enjoy yourself. You should be having fun not being alone. Is this your first time here

Khushi: (nodded) Yes it is I have never been here in my life. I have heard alot about this place(she said with a smile but then her smile turned into a frown) But there is no one to take me around. I dont know any one

Arnav: (was mesmerized with her smile he was quick to say) But you know me. I will take you around (he said happily)

Khushi: (shocked) You would

Arnav: yeah totally i would you seem like a sweet girl so why not

Khushi: (smiled) Ok fine but there is one problem

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Whats that

Khushi:  I will tell my husband that your a tour guide ok. I hope thats ok with you (she didnt want to upset Kartic and yet she wanted to go with Arnav)

Arnav: (smirked) Ok mam at your service. Be ready at aroudn 10 am and i will come and pick you from your room

Khushi: No, If Kartic sees you I dont know what he will think please I will meet you at the lobby and we will go ok.

Arnav: Perfect

Khushi smiled at him and then said good bye. Walking back she had a smile on her face she felt a bit strange but it felt good. She for some reason felt very light and warm. She was now diverting her mind and looking forward to seeing Goa,.

Arnav on the other hand stood there with the most cutest smile ever. He was happy that finally he got to talk to her. His heart started to beat a bit in excitement he kept repeating in his mind that he is no longer ASR any more but he is Arnav the tour guide. It felt good for a change no body really thought of him as anything elese other than a ruthless and power business tycoon. It was going to be fun for him to play tour guide to her. There was really something special about this girl. He thought to himself.
