CHAPTER 3
SHAURYA’S POV……
Finally, we came here to Los Angeles. Now you guys assuming who am I and where am I from and why am I here? Lots of queries right? Don’t worry I will inform you step by step. First I will give an introduction of myself
I am Shaurya Khanna. S. K.’s group of industries is mine. I am the CEO of my company. By listening to this now you will be clear that by profession I am a businessman. In my family, I have my mom, Mrs. Sakshi Khanna, Dad Mr. Ritesh Khanna, younger sibling Aradhna Khanna and my best friend come brother Arav Arora.
I love my family so much. That much that I can do anything for them. My birthday is coming, so my sister and mom wanted to celebrate my birthday here in Los Angeles. I love this place. It gives me a different sort of liveliness. My mom is a housewife and she loves all of us. My dad is a businessman and he is my mentor as well. I follow his footstep, he is the one who always navigates me in business. My younger sibling Aradhna is my baby, I love her and adore her.
She is cheerful, kind, and such a pure soul. She never harms anyone in her life. She is just 15 and behaves like a mature girl but most of the time she becomes childish. But never demand those things who is not right for her. She knows the value of money, relations, culture, and traditions. I have my best friend, Arav Arora, a pain in the ass. Always trouble me but still, he is my brother as well or you can say he is my brother cum best friend. He lives with us. My mom’s sister means my maasi (Aunt) dies in a car accident along with her husband. When Arav was born they were coming that night at home but all of a sudden a truck came from another direction and hit their car. The driver died on the spot so do my Aunt and uncle. Only Arav was there crying.
My dad and mom went there and when they saw Arav, Dad adopted him. Arav calls my mom and dad as his mom and dad. He knows already what happens with his parents. He has his own business and is also one of my partners in my business. He loves my family and we always stood by each other side in bad times. Just because of me, he break up with his 3 girlfriends because they all were gold diggers. I want a nice girl for him, who will take care of him, guide him, love him, adore him, respect him, and trust him. I want him to settle down. He is one year younger than me. My parents are behind me and Arav. Now don’t ask me why? Because they want us to get married.
Leave all these. So after taking a rest for a day, the next day we all went shopping. I was looking at a shoe section and Aradhna takes Arav with her. She likes his choices, so she said “Arav bro, you are coming with me to choose some dresses for me.” so he went with her. Mom and dad doing their shopping and I am trying on shoes. After some time I like a pair of shoes and I immediately purchase them. Then I thought to purchase the shoes for Arav as well. So I was looking for it when I heard a girl’s voice behind me. I turned around to look at her and when I turned I was just looking at her, she is so attractive. I never saw any girl like her. Her face, her eyes, her pink lips, her waist, her figure wait….. What am I thinking? Shut up Shaurya I thought
“Yes, miss?” I asked her
“Ummm, actually I want this pair of shoes, will you please not pay for them and give them to me,” she said.
“But I already purchased it. I am sorry.”
“Don’t worry, instead of these shoes I will buy you another pair of shoes. But I want this only.”
I can’t give it to her just like this. I want to talk with her more but how can I stop her? If I want I can give these shoes to her but I will not because I want to converse with her. And all of the sudden I said No to her and turned around to look for another one.
Then I heard someone weeping. I turned around and look at her she was crying. I got a fright and I don’t know how to make her stop
“Hey, hey why are you crying?” I questioned her
“Because I want these shoes only. My brother liked it only when we came last time. His birthday is coming and I want to gift him these pairs only. It’s his last birthday with us.”
“Why last birthday? Is he going somewhere?” I asked her
“Yes, he is going to India and he will never come back and I love my brother so much that I……I…..” she stuttered and began to weep. I can feel it if my Aradhna was in her place and wanted to buy me shoes and someone else took them then she would also start to cry. we elder brothers are so lucky to have them as our sisters. I am talking about my sister and talking about her elder brother. Don’t get me mistaken ok.
“I am so sorry to hear that. Please take these shoes. I will buy another one. Please don’t cry.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes….. take it,” I said and give her these shoes.
“Thank you so much. I appreciated. How much?” she asked
“No, it’s ok. You can take it.”
“I want to gift my brother, so you have to take it. Wait, manager uncle will you pack these shoes for me, please pack the best pair of shoes for him and I will pay you.”
“Hey, you don’t have to……”
“Take my card uncle. Bye dear” she said to the manager and after paying it she went from there. I happily took those shoes which she selected and then went from there.
I was looking for mom and dad. After some minutes I saw them and they are speaking with some girl. When I get close to them that girl just went from there. I didn’t see her face.
“Mom dad, who was she?”
“She saved your mother.”
“What? Are you okay mom?”
“Yes, my child I am ok. She saved me on time.”
“And to my luck, she is my business partner’s Yash Deewan elder daughter Sia Deewan.”
“Oh, so she was Sia Deewan.”
“She invited us tonight for dinner. So be ready on time.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Alright, mom. We all will be ready. Now Let’s go home.”
“Where are Arav and Aradhna?”
“We are here mom”
Aradhna came and stood by my side.
“Where is Arav?”
“I am here” we all saw him and in his hands, there are lots of bags. He was struggling to hold the packs
“Why you did do so much shopping Aradhna? You never did it before” I asked and we all look at her
“Because she met with some crazy girls. Just because of them, she bought these dresses, shoes, perfumes, and makeup kits. I am hell exhausted now. I wish I will never meet them in my life.”
“Oh, she was nice. I liked her choices. She was sweet and knows what to buy and what not. You don’t know anything about it.”
“Oh hello miss, Yesterday you liked my choices and now you like their choices. Who are they? do you even know them?”
“Oh no, I forgot to ask their names. leave it, but she said we have only one life and by god grace our parent’s earnings are good, so why not shop more? When I thought about this I believed she was right and purchased more and more and more.”
“Those girls just met her and spoiled her in just a few minutes. If she met anyone in our family she will spoil our family.”
“Ok now don’t cry Arav. She was right by the way, we are earning good so why doesn’t she spend our money on shopping?” I said looking at him
“Yes she can buy anything but next time I will not be with you during shopping. It’s such a hectic day. I don’t know how you girls can shop so much?”
We all laugh at his condition and I told Aradhna that she can buy anything and we don’t have any problem. She said thanks to me and embraced me tight and we all left for home after taking some rest we all get ready to go to Mr. Deewan’s house.
