Forgotten

Dinner at Raizadas

She didn't know how long she held him but soon came to her senses when he held her arms and pushed her from him.

"Mam" he said softly and stepped back, his ear pink. Khushi looked at him in wonder. She never knew that he could blush. Never had she ever seen Arnav ji blushing. It was so cute. His cheeks were getting a pink colour and he looked down. She had to fight her urge to pinch those cheeks.

"Are you okay?" he asked looking up and she nodded. She stood up and said, "You're Aman's friend?"

He looked up in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Err....Aman mentioned that his friend, Aaron, is working here as waiter"

"Yeah....we're best buddies! I came to know him through my brother Ivan. They're colleagues. You know Ivan?"

"Yeah. Mr. Denkins' PA! We've met!" Khushi said nodding.

"Yeah....umm....I've go...my...job. Yeah customers would be waiting!" he said and looked at her. She nodded and said, "Bye"

"Come along when you feel sad" he blurted and hurried to cover up, "err...we have...amazing food here.....it would...help?"

She smiled and nodded. He turned and walked into the restaurant and she walked to her car. As she reached the car, she took out her cell and dialled Aman.

"Tonight you're coming to RM for dinner with Aaron!"

"Sure. Can I bring Ivan? Poor guy would start whining if don't!"

"Yeah" she said.

Closing the door of their apartment behind him Aaron called out, "Yo man why is it that you wanted me to come early?"

"Ah you're here!" Ivan said appearing in the hallway, all dressed up in a dark blue shirt, black pant and black blazer.

"Where are you going dressed up like that?" Aaron asked surprised.

"Even you're coming! We're going out for dinner!" Aman appeared dressed up in a brown shirt and black pants. He looked at Ivan wide eyed. "I don't get why you have a blazer on!"

"May be I look good in this!" Ivan said lifting his collar.

"Bad idea! Blazer off!" Aman commanded and looked at Aaron, "Go get dressed!"

"What's wrong with this?" Aaron asked looking down to his blue jeans and blue checked shirt.

"We're going to Raizadas for dinner. So a bit sophisticated!" Ivan shrugged.

"Raizadas! I'm not coming" Aaron declared and plopped on the couch. Switching on the TV he started changing channels.

"What? WHY?" Aman cried.

"They are rich people! I hate rich snobby flaunting pompous people!" Aaron declared.

"But Akash Singh Raizada, Khushi Gupta and Anjali Raizada does not fit that category!" Ivan said.

"Aaron, go get dressed up! You're coming with us!" Aman declared.

"But my favourite show starts now!" Aaron whined and pointed to the TV.

"OH SHIT I COMPLETELY FORGOT!" Ivan cried and jumped to the couch throwing off his blazer.

"Ivan!" Aman cried.
