Chapter 2

He felt a gush of wind sweep into his room. He looked towards the door and found her entering with her back to him. He decided to stay in the bathroom till she came inside so he closed the door again.

Khushi was walking backwards sneakily into Arnav's room.

Khushi: Hai Devi Maiya, kuch kejeye ke hum towel bhi leijayein aur us Raizada ki shakal bhi nahi dekhi paray. Please please Devi Maiya.

Khushi looked inside the room and saw that no one was there and let out a sigh of relief.

She was heading towards the cupboard to get a towel for Lavanya, wondering why Lavanya's towel was in Arnav's room in the first place, chi chi she thought, badi hi tez ladkiyan hai aaj kal. (the girls these days are so fast)

Just then she heard the door of the bathroom creak open, but before she could make a run for it, she bumped into the very person she was running from.

She stumbled and expected to fall on the floor, she closed her eyes expecting the worst, but instead she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and hold her protectively preventing her fall.

She kept her eyes shut knowing that it was him and not wanting to make any eye contact.

She thought in her head, "Aankhein band kar ke hi hum chupke se nika jaate hai, phir is Lord Governor ki shakal bhi nahin dekhi paregi" ( I'll just keep my eyes closed and escape quietly. then i won't have to see this Lord Governor's face either)

She kept her eyes closed and tried to loosen his grip from around her waist, but he only held her tighter.

Arnav was getting very angry, first this Khushi Kumari Gupta had the nerve to enter his room and now she was avoiding eye contact with him, he was not going to let her go this time.

Just then Khushi felt water droplets near her eyes, "Arnav Singh Raizada roh raha hai? Kya (Arnav singh Raizada is crying?, what) she thought in head. She couldn't help but open her eyes, not just because the water droplets were bothering her but also because she wanted to see what the matter was, and when she did open her eyes she wish she hadn't.

There he stood, with his hair wet and disheveled, looking at her with a confused look, a mixture of softness and anger. There was an innocence about him that she felt she had seen for the first time today. He was wearing a black vest and she looked at his muscular form, she felt a pull towards him, it was a new feeling. She turned her gaze away from him, but he pulled her closer to him. Holding her hand with one hand and using another to still hold her tightly by her waist still not letting go.

Khushi: Aap humain choriye. (Please leave me) She said her eyes tearing because of his tight hold.

Arnav: Pehle tumhay meri baat suni paregi. (First you have to listen to what I have to say)

Khushi: Humein aapki koi baat nahi sunyi (I don't want to listen to anything you say), she said as more wet droplet hit her face from Arnav's hair.

Arnav: Tumhay meri baat..he stopped in the middle of his sentence as he noticed the water droplets down her face. The water droplets mixed with her tears, and out of their own accord Arnav traced his fingers along her face wiping away the water droplets and tears. As he was doing so the towel around his neck fell to Khushi's shoulder as they were still in a half-bent position. He had loosened his hold on Khushi lost in the beauty of her face.

Khushi looked at the towel on her shoulder and made a run out of his room quickly.

Arnav held out his hand: Khushi Khushi.

Khushi stopped outside the room: Shukar hai koi towel to mila Lavanya ko denay ke liye, is Arnav Singh Raizada ko toh hum baad mein dekhlenge. (Thank goodness i got a towel to give to Lavanya. I'll see this Arnav Singh Raizada later)

Arnav was angry and ran his hand through his hair.

Arnav: Khushi Kumari Gupta, apnay aap ko samajthi kya ho, tum itni asani se mujhsay nahi baag sakthi. (KKG what do you think of yourself? You can't escape that easily from me)
