Chapter 79 — Arhaan's Deal

Rishi would call whenever he got time during his training.

Everyone in the Qureshi mansion would wait for his calls.

One evening, Rishi finally called.

Arnav answered immediately.

Arnav: Champ!

Rishi: Baba!

Before Arnav could say anything more, Arhaan came running.

Arhaan: Baba! Give me the phone. I want to talk to Bhai!

Arnav: Arhaan, wait.

Arhaan: Baba!

Arnav tried to continue speaking to Rishi, but Arhaan kept interrupting.

Arnav finally cut the call.

Arhaan stared at him.

Arhaan: Baba!

Arnav: What?

Arhaan: You didn't let me talk to Bhai and you cut the call. That was rude!

Arnav: Arhaan, he was calling from training.

Arhaan crossed his arms.

Arhaan: So?

Arnav: So, stop troubling me.

Arhaan smiled mischievously.

Arnav suddenly looked down and noticed something on the floor.

Arnav: Arhaan...

Arhaan tried not to laugh.

Arnav: Why the hell did you put a frog here?

Arhaan burst out laughing.

Arhaan: Because you didn't let me talk to Bhai!

Arnav: You put a frog in my office because I cut a phone call?

Arhaan nodded proudly.

Arhaan: Yes.

He turned toward Ritika.

Arhaan: Ritu, tell him!

Ritika shook her head.

Ritika: Arhaan, no troubling Baba.

Arhaan looked at Arnav again.

Arhaan: Baba, if you agree to my deal, I'll stop.

Arnav narrowed his eyes.

Arnav: What is the deal?

Arhaan immediately became serious.

Arhaan: When Bhai calls, I will speak to him first.

Arnav: That's your deal?

Arhaan: Yes.

He paused.

Arhaan: And you're taking me to meet Veer Mamu's daughter, Thoshini.

Arnav raised his eyebrows.

Arnav: She's older than you.

Arhaan: I don't care.

Arnav stared at him.

Arhaan: She's mine.

Ritika immediately looked at him.

Ritika: Arhaan!

Arhaan: What, Mumma?

Arnav: Veeresh Mamu doesn't even leave you to talk to her.

Arhaan: Exactly!

He folded his arms.

Arhaan: Veer Mamu doesn't let me talk to her.

Arnav sighed.

Arhaan leaned closer.

Arhaan: So agree to the deal...

He smiled mischievously.

Arhaan: Or I'll tell Mumma that you stalk her on Instagram.

Ritika immediately turned toward Arnav.

Ritika: Arnav?

Arnav: Arhaan!

Arhaan laughed.

Arhaan: You want to negotiate or agree?

Arnav stared at his son for a few seconds.

Then he shook his head with a smile.

Arnav: My blood only.

Ritika laughed.

Arnav: First Rishi, and now you.

Arhaan proudly smiled.

Arhaan: Baba, I'm waiting.

Arnav: Fine. Deal.

Arhaan: Yes!

Arnav pointed at him.

Arnav: But if your Veer Mamu doesn't agree to let you meet his daughter, don't blame me.

Arhaan grinned.

Arhaan: Baba, you're a businessman.

He winked.

Arhaan: Get an idea.

Arnav shook his head.

Arnav: God help me.

Ritika laughed as Arhaan walked away proudly, already planning how he was going to convince Veeresh.

Arnav looked at Ritika.

Arnav: Where did he learn all this?

Ritika smiled.

Ritika: From you, apparently.

Arnav sighed.

Arnav: My blood only.
