14 Romantic and Arnav?

Somehow, miraculously, after a whole 15 mins Arnav finally managed to convince Grandpa. Personally, he felt Grandpa was making a mountain out of a molehill unnecessarily. He was also feeling a little hot around the neck.

What would Sofya have thought if she had had to visit a hospital just because of vomit?

But then again, why was he worried what she might think? He couldn't care less.

Only after promising Grandpa that he would inform them what the doctor said, did he let him go.

Sofya released her breath, which she didn't know she had been holding for so long. It really would have been petty to visit the hospital for such a small issue. Moreover, Arnav was a grown up, he could take care of himself now.

Under Grandpa's persuasion, she went to see them off. Beside a black shining Maybach, stood a tall & broad man, dressed in a perfect suit and a well combed hair. Sofya supposed this was Charles, Arnav's personal chauffeur. He opened the door as soon Arnav came forward.

" Bye sis-in-law. " Advay gave her a small peck on the cheek. Sofya smiled. Pulling him into her side, she whispered " Someday you have to tell me about Susan and you! "

He meekly nodded. Indeed, he had never thought the girl to be Sofya's sister. However, be bid her bye & climbed into the car.

The car soon took off into the dark night, the fumes engulfing it. Taking a fleeting look in the rear view mirror, Arnav saw Sofya standing still on the spot, gazing at the car.

As Sofya sat on Susan's bed, she told her what had happened. The painting exhibition was over, and the press conference was a huge success - the reason for Susan's big smile.

" Wow. I had always imagined you & bro-in-law would go somewhere romantic on your first outing, but here you were, going to the hospital. " She was laughing so hard, she had to clasp her hands on her mouth to stop her laughter.

Sofya scrunched up her face. Romantic and Arnav? These two didn't seem to fit together.

Arnav Singh Raizada was known for his cold and ruthless behaviour. It was true that there was always a line of women waiting for him, and he was a playboy, but then again it was purely for fun.

Shrugging the thoughts of Arnav out of his mind, she looked at Susan, wanting to ask how she knew Advay from before. But Susan was not that erratic. Rather that admitting it, she would deflect the question or spin a web of lies. This was her childhood habit, neither her parents nor Sofya had been able to change it.

Just as she was phrasing the question in her mind, her phone rang. Looking at the unknown number, Sofya frowned.

" Hello? "

" Beauty, we need your help. The Red Paladin has escaped. "
