PART 2

''What did you call me?''ASR asked in a dangerously soft voice.

Though khushi shook in every limb,she vouched to steady her voice.

''You heard me besides its not like I said something wrong!''she shrugged.

''You.....!''

But to khushi's luck,the door opened at that precise moment and Akash walked in.

''Bhai...we've got a lead on.....Khushi!!''

''Akash!!''Khushi was ecstatic on seeing her best friend after a long time.She ran and flung herself in his arms.

ASR was shocked.He couldn't understand his own reactions.Why was he so annoyed to see them in an embrace?Or was angry closer to the truth?

''Wow!Its so nice to see you Ms Happy!I missed you so much!''Akash grinned.

''Same here!''

What the!!ASR fumed.

''Khushi what are you doing here?''

''I've joined as the new junior officer.''she said gleefully,nearly jumping with joy.

''Superb!It will be so much fun working with you.''

 That was the end of ASR's patience.

''Do you guys know each other?''he asked in a barely controlled voice.

''Of course bhai!Khushi was my junior in the college and we were best of friends.By the way khushi,he's my elder brother,Arnav Singh Raizada .''Akash's voice was laced with respect and reverence.

''This laadgovernor is your brother!!!''Khushi looked insultingly shocked.

''What the....How dare you?''

''B...bhai leave it please.She's my friend.''Akash pleaded sensing the brewing storm,then he turned to khushi.

''Lets go.I'll introduce you to everyone in the office.''He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the office.

Khushi shot a victorious smile at Arnav,showing she got off,which added further to his temper.

ACP Arnav singh raizada for the first time in his life,couldn't concenterate on his work.His heart and mind was occupied by khushi kumari gupta.

Half an hour later when ASR stepped out of his cabin to attend a meeting with Home minister,he was greeted by an appalling sight and only two words escaped his mouth,

''What the!''

For the first time since its establishment,the imposing office of Special Task Force was on a stand still and the sole reason was khushi around whom everyone was gravitating around,admiring her affable mannerism.

                                                                                          Even as ASR looked on bereft of words, he saw another officer,Rohan,laughing with her which again,for some unknown reason ticked him off.

''What the hell is going on here?''he snarled louder than he intended.

Everyone immediately stood up and ran helter-skelter to escape ASR's wrath,who was glowering around murderously.

''Ms.Gupta,This is the office of Special task force and not your living room.You've got to maintain that decorum.Make sure that I should never find you indulged in nonsense like this,otherwise consequences won't be good.Ensuring the safety of citizens is not a joke,we don't have time or right to loll around like fools.I hope I have made myself clear!''

He growled and walked off,leaving a tearful khushi.
