Alright guys to help me spend this boring Saturday with no ArHi I decided to write an OS from where the last episode stopped.

This is my very first time writing any sort of story on India Forums at all so don't hesitate to throw ande, tamatar, chappals etc. at me!

 
Khushi tried vainly to remove her dupatta from the boot but no matter how hard she twisted pulled or shook the dupatta, it refused to budge. Finally having the thought of abandoning the dupatta Khushi lifted her head up in a rush and hit her head on the side of the boot. Well, what then- she fainted inside the boot! Then our very own Mr Dreamy came out of the house in a foul mood because of Lavanya and seeing the boot open he slammed it closed'
 

Khushi opened her eyes slowly as her body bounced and shook. Rubbing her head she tried to get up only to hit her head again.

'Hai, devi maiyya!'she said.

 Confused Khushi looked around her to see darkness; she shook her head and tried to focus properly. Then she realised what had happened'

"Hai, devi maiyya! What have I gotten myself into?, she scolded herself.

She then started to bang on the inside of the boot vainly trying to catch someone's attention so that they could come and get her out and solve this whole fiasco.

"Bachao! Bachao! Lavanya ji! Bachao! Bachao!"

Inside the car Arnav heard banging and said,

"What's that noise?", he shook his head and turned on his Bluetooth and started talking to one of his work colleagues.

"Yes! I'll be there soon but Lavanya is not with me so I will be alone."

With that Arnav disconnected the call but suddenly the car lurched and came to a complete stop.

"What the f-!" Arnav said as he lurched in his seat.

He tried to start the car again but to no avail. Arnav slammed his hands on the steering wheel and saw the indicator that the car was out of fuel.

"Dammit!" Arnav shouted as he thumped the wheel again.

Arnav stepped out of the car and looked around to see if there was some sort of civilisation around but on either side of him was pure dense jungle.

Arnav cursed loudly and called his colleague,

" I won't be there yet I've hit a delay. Move the conference forward a little."
 
With that he disconnected the call and moved around to the boot to get some water out. Arnav unlocked the boot and opened it only to find Khushi with a pakoda half in her mouth and frozen mid chewing. She then quickly stuffed the whole pakoda in her mouth in fear of seeing Arnav as her heart spiralled out of control again.

"You! What are you doing here?!", Arnav said incredulously at Khushi.

Khushi still with her mouth full just stared at Arnav shocked. Then coming out of her reverie she swallowed quickly and started to explain everything in her typical Lucknowi andaaz.

"I came to put the pakoda but then my dupatta got stuck so I tried to pull it out but I hit my head and fainted. Then I woke up in the boot and I started screaming but no one could hear me"Khushi started to breathe deeply as she was out of breath from speaking so fast.

With a confused expression as Arnav tried to take it all in he said
"What?!...Actually I don't even want to know." Arnav shook his head and went towards the front seat of the car again.

Khushi came out of the boot and said, "Where is Lavanya?

Arnav replied, "Lavanya didn't come"

"Kya?!" Khushi replied with a shout. "Park kyun?!"

"I don't find it necessary to tell you. She just didn't come," Arnav replied to her shocked question.

Khushi swallowed and said hesitantly, "Wh...Why did you stop the car?"

"Because the fuel finished. I don't know how but I am pretty sure it was a full tank'", Arnav replied.

Khushi laughed nervously and said to herself, "Khushi tum ne to apne hi liye bada sa gada khod liya. Petrol to nikala tha thaake Lavanya ji ko uss Laad Governor ke saath waqt bathaana pade"

Khushi smacked her head and Arnav said, "Tum ne kuch kaha?'
"Hum?! Humari himmat ke hum kuch kahen? Na'.Nahi to'Humne to kuch nahi kaha", Khushi blubbered nervously.
 

Arnav started to walk towards the forest and Khushi followed him quietly while hiding behind trees and treading carefully. Exasperatedly Arnav turned around to catch Khushi mid-step and se froze in that position.
"Main jaan tha hoon ke tum mere peeche ho. To tumme ye sab harkathe karne ki zaroorat nahi hai", Arnav said.

Khushi cleared her throat and straightened herself out. Arnav turned his back on her and continued walking. Khushi hurried to catch up to his long strides and started saying,

"Vaise bhi meri galti nahi thi. Ye sab kuch aap ki vaja se hua"
Arnav looked at her in an angry disbelieving way. Caught out Khushi continued hurriedly,
"Haan to'Aise bhi koi kartha hai kya? Diggi dekhe hue bagar aisi band karke chale jaata hai kya?"
Arnav was about to reply but thought better of it and continued walking at a faster pace.

 

After trudging through the woods for a long time they reached a small shop where Arnav went while Khushi huffed and puffed behind him.

Arnav went and asked the shopkeeper if there was any petrol station near or if they had any fuel.

"Sahaab, yahaan to 3 kilometer thak kuch bhi nahi hai." Arnav cursed under his breath. Seeing Arnav's desperation the shopkeeper continued, "Magar ek raastha hai. Mere paas ek cycle hai aap vo leja sak the hai"

Arnav looked disbelievingly at the man and said, "Cycle?!"

The shopkeeper shrugged at him and pointed towards the back of the shop.

Arnav hurriedly went to the back of the shop and looked at the cycle which looked to Arnav like a piece of rusted metal with wheels.

Arnav knew he had no other choice so he took the cycle out and went towards Khushi who was collapsed on the chair outside of the shop still out of breath.

"Chalo",Arnav said as he sat on the cycle.

"Kya?", Khushi said.

Arnav indicated the cycle and said, "Tum agar iss jungle main akele rehna chaati ho to theek hai warna iss pe aake baito", Khushi gulped and went to sit on the back of the cycle but there was not enough space.

"Me'main iss pe kaisa baitoon?, Khushi asked Arnav nervously.

He sighed exasperatedly and pulled her so that she could sit on the bar in front of him.

Arnav then started to ride the cycle while Khushi held onto Arnav's arm instinctively so that she wouldn't fall off. Khushi closed her eyes and breathed deeply to control her erratically beating heart as they travelled further and further on the road.

 

Alright guys, that was it but if you want me to write more I will do so! Sorry for not having enough romance in it! But I promise the next one will!

Please comment and like as that keeps me going!
