CHAPTER 41.2 – THE 'MIDDLE' GROUND

@The Hospital

ARNAV'S POV

Guys.

To say that I was kind off – Relieved*Infinity at the moment would surely be an Understatement of the Freaking 19th+20th+21st Century for Sure.

I mean obviously – I cannot ever express it in words – the Tsunami off Relief that consumed my being, the minute I heard My Sparkle say that she was going to Shun the Crazy Thought of Being here in Sydney all by herself for all these months.

FINALLY.

I WAS ABLE TO CHECK MATE THE HELL OUT OF THAT ACHING THOUGHT.

Well – I just knew it very well in my Heart that I had no other option but to pull out all the Emotional Guns at her first to get her to see things from my point of view too. I just had to barge in on her emotionally – first. Because I only wanted to talk to her about the Solution+ Middle Ground my Head+ Heart had come up with combined, after Her Dear Heart+ Mind had been convinced off the fact that, there surely was another way out of here.

Also to be honest guys – as you all already know that I do greatly respect My Sparkle's individuality right? So I would never want her to feel that she's somewhat compromised on this by supressing all of her wishes and thoughts with regards to herself.

Nope.

Never.

I'd never do that too Her.

Which is also another reason why I am super happy with my mind + heart for coming up with this Middle Ground Solution in the first place. For it's surely a compromised solution from both our ends.And I am glad my mind put use to some strategy + logic in there backed by the power of Love that I feel in my Heart for my Sparkle to finally come up with this.

And now – I just can't wait to talk about it to My Sparkle, because I obviously want to see that feeling of relief and happiness on her face too which I hope she feels after listening to what I had on my Mind. I also desperately hope that - this Middle Ground makes sense to her and that she agrees to it.( Chances are that she will. My Heart tells me the same)

Well to be honest – This Solution does not just make Sense to my Head. It makes sense to each of our family member's too.

Oh Yeah.

Ofcourse guys – I already discussed this bit out with everyone the minute it struck my mind while Khushi was sleeping. And it clicked in everyone's head and heart too and only relaxed them further in their beings with the thought that I would be able to convince My Sparkle to walk to this mid-point too, which was why they all went out to eat lunch all relaxed in the first place and Anj decided to take the power nap with the music plugged in her ears on the other side for she also felt like a huge heavy weight had been lifted off her heart once she had heard the mid ground - that the lack of sleep from last night had nudged her to catch up on some sleep first.

I am distracted from my deep inner thought as I hear Khushi ask softly after she places the finished glass of her iced- coffee back on the tray - " Love...there you go..see I am done eating and drinking up too, so now c'mon tell me...na..please?? like I really really want to know what's on your mind...please??uff ya..jaldi bolo na app...jaldi jaldi...like dear mind is all like what is it that Skipper Blue could think off and I couldn't...even though I have been raking my neurons left, right and center....like just what is it???? ufff..so much suspense you are creating ya Skipper Blue...now this is not a match thike?? where in everyone watching is holding on with bated breathes wondering which bowler you are going to hand the bowl to, to bowl the penultimate 19th over in a T20 match...on that note you do know na that you have that exact serious deep in thought look on your forehead at the moment, indeed...,"and she pauses and scrunches her nose adorably with narrowing her eyes too.

I chuckle a little on reflex at that adorable expression up her face and I say winking at her, lacing my right hand with her free right hand and kissing on it lovingly – " well Sparkle to be honest..you see this familiar deep in thought look on my face because somewhat you could say that this is like a intense match in between of us too right? as in the most sensitive disagreement we are talking our way through...and please know one thing for sure..this discussion isn't going to be about me winning with you listening to my point or you losing with compromising on yours..after we have talked this out, I most definetly want this to be like that situation of the Draw you know like we have in the Test Series where in even though both sides gave it their all playing five intense days of test cricket but since neither could win according to the rules by the time the test was scheduled to wrap up, the match was declared a Draw..,"and I pause for a second to kiss on her hand again as I ask further emotions returning to overwhelm my heart – " Sparkle...dil ki baton mein toh kabhi koi rule nai hota na..bass pyaar hi hai Sparkle..iss discussion ko mera pyaar samajhna please...yeh mat sochna ki main tumhari baat ki repsect nai rakhna chahta..ok??(theres no rules in the books of the heart+ love right..its only love Sparkle, and please consider the context of this discussion coming up next as just my deep love for you..please do not misunderstand it to be any sort off a disrespect towards you and your thoughts as an individual..ok??)..."

Khushi's eyes well up a little at that as she clutches on my right hand with her right hand – " ofcourse love..I would never misunderstand your intentions...thike??now please tell me...na...jaldi..jaldi,"and she pauses and narrows her eyes at me – " also love..why do I feel that everyone else already knows about what you are going to talk to me about?? As in that is why they left for lunch and Anj is sleeping on the other side so peacefully?? And also maybe because they just wanted to give us the privacy to talk this through maybe because everyone surely knew that you were going to barge in on me emotionally first??"

I nod at her with a little chuckle as I say sincerely – "well yes...Sparkle..you are right about that indeed..,"and I get up from my spot upfront now as I adjust the portable trolley of food aside and then place the tray back on the centre table and walk back to her side as I say – " well I can't wait to talk about it to you love..but just let me wedge you down a little to the position the nurses have advised us too after you have just eaten and after two minutes I will adjust you back to the flat position alright??"

Khushi nods at me at that and once I had finished adjusting her position, I take my seat up close in front off her so that we are looking at each other face to face and I take a deep breath and I bend forward to kiss her head first – before kissing her softly, gently and emotionally on her lips for about ten seconds or so.

Here we go Guys.

The Moment was Here.

........................................

Khushi's POV

I feel Arnav's lips pull away from mine after that intense emotional soft, gentle and ten second brief kiss. Thankfully, because I am still like a little wedged up in bed I am able to cup his face tenderly more easily and caress his cheeks too as we both open our eyes to lock our equally emotional+ intense gaze with one another's.

Dear Mind + Heart. Now that I can sense that you both are out of that emotional Numbness. How about you get your Notepad and Files ready to soak in the Inputs about this Middle Ground – Arnav is referring too? For his eyes tell dear eyes that he is about to talk about this like – Finally.

Dear Heart+ Mind nod in a collective unison all emotionally overwhelmed. Yes – K. We are like all ready already, even before you said it! Don't you worry about us – K. We are right here all set to take it in. You just focus on Arnav now. We will chip in our inputs here and there in between if needed.

I return my attention to this Intense Emotional Silent Eyelock with Arnav.

I gaze into Arnav's intense eyes and he finally asks, caressing my right cheek lovingly – " okay so Sparkle..so to start with..I do want to ask you once again...that you did say that it's like super important for you as an individual to take your sports rehabilitation on independently right???the reasons for which you'v voiced out to us all and we obviously understand.."

I nod at Him – Sincerely and I add softly – " yes love...I..I...,"and I am unable to speak further as I feel Arnav's finger on my lips as he says – " shhh...shh...hear me out now..okay..first??just please hear me out.."

I nod at him.

Arnav smiles sincerely and he kisses my right cheek first and then clutches on my hand and locks his gaze directly with mine again – " so I'd like to start with saying that – that wish of yours is surely respected by not just me but us all, so you can totally tick mark that on your list as in – in the sense that we have absolutely no qualms or for none of us have any apprehensions with regards to that...in fact we would be more than just proud to see you take on the sport rehab bit on independently Sparkle...we'd be more than just proud.."

Ok.

Wait.

Dear Heart+ Mind pause on their Note taking – confused too. Just what is he trying to imply???

Arnav can surely catch the puzzlement and confusion in my eyes as he chuckles a little and kisses my nose next and says softly – " but well...Sparkle...listen to my words very carefully alright?? at the moment you are supposed to be on complete bed rest for the first four months completely right?? and your sports rehabilitation plus physiotherapy bit can only begin after those first four months are over..once your scans tell us that your back has healed, right??? so does it make sense to you if I say that it will be apt if we divide this six months period into two phases? The first four months of complete bed rest + the latter half of the two months which will constitute your intense rehab+ physio?? I mean why look at the stretch of Six months as just one phase for it most surely will differ in its happenings right..so we can totally handle it in two different ways completely too..right? does this make sense???"

Ahaaannn.

Hmmmm.

Oh Yes.

That Does Somewhat Makes Sesnse – Indeed!!

Dear Mind smirks too. Ahaaaa! Smarty Skipper Blue! He caught that bit through Logic indeed. Hey – K. He makes a fair point in there for sure. It does feel right to divide the Six months phase into two different columns. I am getting to that.

Dear Heart smiles deep in thought too getting on with it.

I nod at him sincerely as I give him a soft smile – " well yes...love..it does make sense to divide that timeline of six months into two phases..."

Arnav nods and smiles and says – " okay...great..now that we have a consensus to that first major bit, how about I wedge you down completely and we talk the rest out then??"

I nod at Him.

He adjusts me down completely, and then helps me readjust the supportive back belt around my midriff closing up on the valcro, snug for support(for I do loosen it up while eating – obviously).And once he is done with that, I gesture him to come lie to my right side like he was lying down prior to us taking that break for Eating.

He nods at me and smiles and does the same.

Once he is all adjusted close snug into my side and is all wedged up on his elbow and looking down at me, he finally says brushing his left hand over my head tenderly – "so now Sparkle... I propose to you this middle ground on this very accord – that for the first phase as in the first four months while you are confined to the situation of bed rest and are restricted in your normal day to day moments...do not expect any of us to leave you alone for we most surely do not have it in our hearts to do that until we see you healed to a certain point..Sparkle...,"and he pauses momentarily to kiss my forehead lovingly again and adds next – "and once we see that you are healed to that point off being back on your feet, and resuming your daily normal movements at the least four months later – we promise to let you take on your sport rehabilitation independently from there on...for then it's like at least you are back to a certain state of health right? and will be getting ready to step into intense rehab and physiotherapy to get yourself prepped up to pick up your bat and play again and that's surely another intense stage of a struggle/battle within too right?? that's the phase you are really keen on taking on independently right for your self- growth as an individual and sportsperson?? So you take that second phase on independently Sparkle..no worries...but until that second phase begins..do not ask any of us to leave you alone...how does this sound Sparkle?? a workable Middle ground perhaps???What does Dear Mind say now?? ,"and he pauses and laces his left free hand with my right free one into a combined grip and kisses on it and his gaze bares into mine like It does when he is reading me.

Dear Mind Smirks further.Smarty*Infinity Skipper Blue.Indeed. Just ask him to elaborate further please – K.

Dear Heart is continuing to smile and grin deep in thought too.

I kiss on his hand in our grip and I say softly – " dear mind wants you to Elaborate..please..love..."

Arnav nods and gives me his rakish side smile that I love immensely – " great...which means that Dear Mind is ready to process this further..which is good..indeed..,"and he pauses and kisses on my hand again and says – " look Sparkle...there are two thoughts that are in my mind...and I will voice both to you...look..like I said..one thing is for sure...please..we cannot leave you alone until the time you are on bed alright? so if you are like hell bent upon staying put right here in Sydney,Australia..then okay the only way we can take this on further is that – we will rent an apartment right here for you for you most surely will not be completing your bed rest bit out in the sports rehab facility and we will set it up for you and Nisha Mom, Sagar Dad, Rahul and Anj will take turns to be with you right here as in one month they will be here with you...and then Rahul plus Anjali will come in and then maybe Mom and Dad will come in after..but we will take turns on a monthly basis to be with you nonetheless...for those first four months...for we will not leave you alone...that is the first thought..that I could think off...,"and he pauses to just kiss on my forehead again.

OH NO.

Dear Heart + Mind chip in Unison. K - THAT WOULD DISRUPT EVERYONE'S LIVES EVEN MORE. And it makes no sense for them to just take turns in living here with you. Ask him what's the second thought? Please??oh wait..You know what? we think he purposely put this first thought out knowing it wouldn't feel right to us first so that – we would ourselves ask him for that second thought.Clever*Infinty – Indeed.We gotta knew name for him.Mr.Clever Fox.

I narrow my eyes at him as he pulls up and I say locking my gaze with his– " ohh godaamit..you...Arnav...you are totally like Mr.Clever Fox at the moment..I mean you do know I would never want to disrupt everyone lives that way...I mean it makes no sense for everyone to leave their lives behind and just take turns to live with me here ya even if it's like taking monthly turns..nope ..not happening......and I know that you know very well that once you voiced this bit off it out to me, I'd ask you for the second thought myself..haina??"

Arnav chuckles at that as he nods – " Yup...Sparkle...well its too my advantage that we know each other through and through right??"

I ask softly now – " uff yaa...yup..to your advantage indeed..acha thike..this first thought is ruled out for sure..so come on now..tell me...what's the second thought??"

Arnav bends forward to kiss the side of lips softly and then pulls up again to lock his emotional gaze with mine and he says now letting out a deep breathe – " ghar chalo(come home)..please...just come home Sparkle...for these first four months...while you are supposed to be on this intense bed rest..just come home..please...and after this bit off it is over..I promise you that we will all respect your wish of wanting to take on the second phase alone..we will also not ask you to take on your physio and sport rehab in Delhi as we were discussing prior if you want to take that on in a facility away from home...tum Bangalore chale jaana(you can head to Bangalore)..to NCA(National Cricket academy's ) sports and rehabilitation center there, where so many of us cricketers go for rehab after injuries infact off late they have some tie ups with some commendable private rehabilitation centres as well for like stay and accommodation in the evenings which kind off work in tandem with the team at the NCA so we will arrange for you to just stay put there within one of their facilities. For those two months..so that you can just focus on getting yourself fitter back to play..Sparkle...and once you go there...we promise...we will only meet you when you say you want to meet us...,"and he pauses and just kisses the other side of my lips and whispers further – " please..ghar chalo..Sparkle...just come home...please...I beg you...just come home..first..dammit...just come home...look I know love that you do not want anyone's life to get disrupted right?so just think this love...if you come Home...everyone can be relaxed to resume their daily lives during the day..as in we promise you will never feel that anyone's daily course was disrupted because of you and you can just focus on resting and studying while being at home too all day and in the evenings when anyway everyone comes home, and in the mornings prior to leaving for work and the nights – at least then they can be with you as per their wish and you can just be with them too..."

OH GODAMMIT HIM.

Dear Heart.K - Just why did he have to say – I beg You – in that vulnerable emotional tone??

Dear Mind musters deep in thought. Hmmmm – K.Well this does makes sense to some extent but I am only concerned about Him too.Tell him that. Remind Him that you do not want to be his Weakness or give him a Sense of Conflict in his Head.

I say overwhelmed honestly – " but love...you know very well that one of the other reasons why I didn't want to go back home wa..,"and I am unable to complete the sentence as I am kissed very emotionally yet again and Arnav pulls back from consuming both my lips with his ten seconds later and he adds next looking deep into my eyes – " I know..Sparkle...I know..it's because of the selfless ways in which you love me...I know you in and out right?? so listen to this Sparkle..i have a mid- ground solution for this too...even though its going to be insanely difficult to pull through but I can manage to pull that bit out for you ..for coming Home first is surely the better option for you nonetheless..."

Dear Heart Swells with Intense Deep Love for Him yet again.I ask softly now – " you have a middle ground solution for this too love?? you thought this through too??"

Arnav nods and he kisses on my forehead next and says softly – "look Sparkle...for no matter what...come what may..it is more important for me to know in my heart that you are not Alone and our surrounded by our families in these first vulnerable months of bed rest...so yes..I do have a solution for this too....even if this solution makes my heart intensely heavy..I'd go for it...because I'd rather have you Home...I'd just rather have you home..and for that if I have to make a compromise too..I will...giving your thoughts it's due too ," and he pauses as he closes his eyes momentarily and I do see that glimpse of ache + love take over his expressions all over his face.

Dear Hearts Leaps up with a Instant thought too as it says. Oh – K. If he actually has found a Middle Ground solution to this too, than we can surely go ahead with this without much Worries weighing us down Indeed. For this does seem all fair and square keeping in mind the emotions of all + what you need to do for yourself within as in individual when Rehab begins.

I ask softly caressing his cheek – "what is it that you'v thought off with regards to this love?? will you tell it to me now..I know it isn't easy for you too voice it out to me for the ache is evident on your face..."

Arnav nods and he says keeping his eyes closed – " yes it aches to even say this Sparkle...but I know you very well don't I?? I knew that I had to think of something with regards to this too...and atleast this bit of what I am about to say is much better a scenario which otherwise would have been given your prior point of view..."

I ask now just like he always often asks me – "open your eyes..please.."

He Does.

And I see them welled with ache, emotion, pain and intense love for me and he says now softly, hoarsely as if it were taking him all the strength within to even say this out – " tell me Sparkle if listening to this bit gives you any comfort on the other regard too..,"and he pauses and takes another deep breathe and adds – " if you say that you will come Home for the first four months for sure then ...I promise you..that I will only meet you before the start and at the end of my every tour in India from here on after we return...as in I will only meet you when I am defaulted to come Home anyway at the end off the tours for the couple of days break...Sparkle...I won't travel in between to you..no matter how much my Heart yearns to be by your side....even when I am in Delhi in the middle of the tours..I will stay in the Hotel with the team...I won't come Home....that I promise love...I will only see you..when I am scheduled to come Home for a couple of days break....,"and he pauses and keeps his forehead on mine closing his eyes again in an intense aching gesture as he whispers softly after – " but atleast don't take away those couple of hours and days from me Sparkle please...don't...just don't take those moment's away from me atleast..for even if I am able to see you just for 24-48 hours after the end of tours, my heart will soak in the strength to keep up this promise to you for your sake...please...just don't take those moments away from me please...dammit...Sparkle...please.....just come Home...dammit..."

Oh Godammit Him.

Now That he Put it that way in that Vulnerable  Emotional Tone of his - Dear Heart really does not have it in it to take those couple of hours and Moments away in which we could actually see each other after his Tours End and he would be there at Home anyway.

I close my eyes now processing all of it In.And I hear him add further -  "I promise Sparkle...I will never let you feel that you have caused any potential conflict in my head ever..I know this is important to you love too so with a very heavy heart if this is what I have to do to get you to agree to come Home...then I will do it..nonetheless...look love...I will promise you that I will go on with things on my professional end as per your wish if you just help me sustain that peace within my heart that while you are confined to bed...you are not Alone...for I know our families will take immense care of you on my behalf too..Sparkle...and while I am on tours we will just continue to stay connected strongly and virtually like we anyways do..all the time...Sparkle... ,"and he pauses and just hugs me into himself gently and asks burying his head into the crook of my neck kissing on my shoulder gently – " now what do Dear Mind and Heart say haan? Sparkle???"

Dear Heart + Mind Sigh overwhelmed and stumped with intense emotion too as they take it all in immensely moved by the Middle Ground Solution Arnav had come up with – really giving due and respect to each of my thought too no matter how much it was aching him within.They say in unison now. Hey – K. Just Hug on him tight before you get around to telling him what we are now thinking – will you please???

I whisper softly now wrapping my hands around his neck tighter – " just let me hug you first thike? love...just let me hug you first...,"and I pause and I ask sure that my voice was trembling – " bahut tang kar diya maine aapko...bahut tang kardiya na...(I have troubled you so much with all off this haven't I???) I am sorry love...I am so so sorry..."

Arnav pulls back immediately and he shakes his head in a No before putting his finger to my lips – " shh...shh..no...Sparkle..please...do not apologize...just tell me..please..I need to know..now that you have heard me out..tell me...what do you think off the same?? Yeh Middle Ground solution chalega??(will this middle ground solution do)?? Are you convinced to walk to this mid-point with me love??"

I ask Dear Heart and Mind for their Final Take On this.

Dear Heart + Mind grin through their overwhelmed emotions. K – Chalega. This Middle Ground Solution will do for sure.How can we not agree to walk to this Mid – Point, given the scenario that Arnav's done his best to do justice and be fair and square to the entire situation at Hand. To your individuality too.Come On – Go On. Tell Him the Same..poor Him – he's literally holding onto His Breathe waiting for you to answer.

Oh Yes. Dear Heart and Mind – I will give Him the answer for Sure.

But Only after I have Hugged Him Closer - when he is close enough in My Arms.

Because - I am pretty Sure – I Just fell Head Over Heels in Love with Him – All Over Again.

..................................

Arnav's POV

Godaammit Sparkle.

Answer me – Dammit.

I won't be able to let go of my Breathe until you do.

Guys. Literally.

I am waiting with a bated breath to know her final answer to This. I know her Insides are at their Brainstorming Bit.

I just Hope she Agrees.

It is right then I see Khushi gesture me to come in closer for a Hug even though she still seems to be all lost deep in thought but I do obviously bend forward further to just engulf her in my arms gently and it is right then I hear her whisper into my ears, with her voice trembling – " chalega...love..chalega...this middle ground solution will work for sure...I am all set to walk to this Mid-Point with you...how can I not? Given the thought, love and respect you'v put into it...my skipper blue...always playing fair and square...infact just chalega nai...dodega Skipper Blue...this will work perfectly both ways.....thank you love...thank you so much for thinking this through in a more balanced way than me...thank you *infinity love...dear mind says it wants to give you the oscar for being thr Mr.Clever Fox at the moment too..for you literally just figured out..what it couldn't...."

OK.

REMEMBER THE STATEMENT I STARTED WITH A WHILE BEFORE?

WHERE IN I MENTIONED – HOW RELEIVED I WAS?

YEAH?

I THINK I'D LIKE TO ADD TWO MORE CENTURIES IN THERE and say that to say that I was kind off – Relieved*Infinity at the moment would surely be an Understatement of the Freaking 17th+18Th 19th+20th+21st Century for Sure.

I pull back immediately from our embrace and I cup my Sparkle's face lovingly as I see the tears of relief now streaming down her eyes and I admit my own eyes welling up with intense emotion at seeing that expression of relief in her eyes – " Sparkle..you have no idea how much I was dying to see this expression of relief in your eyes..love....,"and she nods and says looking deep into my eyes caressing my cheeks too – " I feel so relieved love...I feel so relieved...knowing that I will be able to do what I want for myself too without hurting you or anyone in the process...,"and she pauses and adds sincerely just closing her entire palm over my left cheek – " you know na Love..its going to be difficult for me too right? to only just see you at the end of your tours?? But its something that we must do nonetheless..given the circumstance...you understand where I am coming from na love?? you aren't like mad at me for this na..please?? just tell me that..once again...I just hope you don't feel mad at me for this..."

I turn my head to kiss her palm as I say honestly – " no..Sparkle..I am not..mad...I know that this bit is going to be equally difficult for us both...but then in my heart I can still handle that given the fact that I know I am respecting a wish of your's which is driven by your selfless love for me...and then ofcourse..I promised you didn't I? that I'd play on your behalf too??? For I obviously knows what our game is to you in your heart...So don't worry my love..that promise stands as is.."

Khushi gestures me to bend forward and I do and she kisses my head next and says with a heartfelt emotional smile up her face – " listen you Skipper Blue..but once I go into the NCA's sports rehab facility na..I will only see you after I am able to pick up my bat and play, for I will tell myself that everyday that if I want to see you soon, than I most surely have to keep giving my rehabilitation my all...thike? chalega? Promise me.. you won't find ways to come to me Bangalore then thike??? pakka se wala promise karo aap "

I smile at that as I nod in compromise – " thike..done Sparkle..pakka se promise*inifinty...I can most surely do that then...you understand don't you love?? I first need to just see you recovered into your normal self to some extent atleast before you take on the second phase by yourself...please know that I have full faith in your self-conviction my love...I respect your core thought immese..Sparkle..I honestly do...for I know how important that is to you...but I will be more comfortable in my heart love to know that you are at least still in India and in Bangalore...which is just a Two hours 30 minute flying distance from Delhi and anyone from home can come to you anytime you wish them too ..like atleast you will still be within reachable distance in no time and not locked up in a foreign land across the seven sea's...you wanted to throw yourself into a new environment na love in rehab.. toh thike..done...do that most surely...love.. but in our home country..."

Khushi nods at me in happiness and she gestures me to come in for another hug and I obviously do.

We hug each other – Hard.And she whispers into my ears – " yes..yes...I get you love..I truly do...it's a done deal then Skipper Blue..,"and she pauses and sighs – " but love since you are in your Mr.Clever Fox mode..why don't you help me find a solution to this air ambulance bit too love? as in I'd just hate to board it ya..."

I kiss her ear softly as I whisper – " okay then...Sparkle..I think I have a solution to that too..let me ask Superman for that flying cape of his for sure..than I'd be the one to fly you back home across the seven seas in my arms..."

That makes us both share a warm chuckle and I pull back as I fight back a sigh and I admit – "apologies...Sparkle...if only there was a way out to this. Unfortunately there isn't..."

Khushi sighs and nods as she says – " I know love..there isn't..thike...I will get around to dealing with that bit ya..now that ..that is the only way out.."

"you will be okay love...you will be okay...,"I add reassuringly in support to her before bending forward to kiss her again.

30 seconds later, I pull back grinning and I ask – " toh ab ghar chalne ki tayari on..Sparkle?? you know given the fact your dear eyes confirm to me that this discussion has indeed ended in a mutual beneficial draw....."( so now we should keep our preprations on to take you back Home...right Sparkle??)

Khushi nods as she grins – " yes...love...On..pakka se On..for this is a mutual beneficial Draw for sure,"and she pauses and adds her eyes welling up happily – " thank you so much for this...love..thank you..."

I narrow my eyes at her as I say – " shut you up..darling...please...don't...don't say that to me..please.."

Khushi nods and she says – " okay then can I say something else??"

I nod.

She gives me a heartfelt smile – " Life is a long journey na love..we don't know what will come our way..but from next time too...whenever moments like this come and I am caught up in that helpless maze feeling like as if I were drifting towards a far tangent in the mission of finding out my way..always just hold my hand tight and help me steer towards a Mid course..thike??like you did today..and I promise you that I will try to do the same too.."

I nod at Her in acknowledgement of the Same – immediately – of course.

And We each other Hard again.

I whisper into her ears to say while holding onto her tight– "so Sparkle. Everyone is waiting for my text on the same as in they did say that they will only come back into the room after our talk was done and I had discussed it all out with you...even Anj said to only wake her up after...and I am sure everyone is getting in worked up in anticipation to know the outcome of our discussion..but before I get to that...you won't mind if I just take these next four to five minutes to just Kiss you...because once everyone arrives I won't be able too and then Cap, Rohan, and Ravi will come too..which means that I won't get any privacy with you until much later..and I know this is me being selfish..but you know I can't help but be my selfish self when it comes to y......,"and I am unable to complete my sentence as Khushi pulls me in for an emotional vulnerable kiss immediately.

And to Be Honest – You All.

I think I need to be Fair and Square in Adding a Couple of More Centuries in that very statement I started with in the Beginning and just say that – To Say that I was kind off feeling – Relieved*Infinity at the moment would surely be an Understatement of the Freaking 15th+16th+17th+18Th +19th+20th+21st Century for Sure.

And Another Best Part at the Moment was the fact that I wasn't the only one who was basking in the Feel of This Magnitude off Relief.

My Sparkle was Too.

And I knew – that Our Families would be feeling the pretty same Too when they found out.

Guys.

Do not Laugh Out Loud at Me For This but it totally feels like My Sparkle's avatar is rubbing onto me at the moment, for I think for the first time ever I can actually visualise my very own Heart and Mind – raising a toast to one another in Glee – for coming up with this Solution in first place!!

And What Do I Do?

I do exactly what My Sparkle would have done in her Inner thoughts – obviously.

I mentally raise a Toast Back to them – Indeed.
