PART 3

Arnav entered his house after a tiring and hectic day from work.He was really exhausted after the chain of meetings and conferences.As he entered,he saw Khushi coming to him,smiling.How he wished if this was the sight that welcomed him everyday.He was longing to see her.He had seen her, no kissed her hours back but he was looking at her as if they are meeting after centuries of separation.Her smile refreshed his tired nerves.

Khushi-How was your day at work?

Her voice was so soft and soothing..It took all his tiredness away..and it was the first time somebody asking him with so much concern about his day after his Di.

Arnav-Very exhausting..

She looked into his tired eyes which still had the same desires that she saw this morning..She blushed when his eyes travelled her head to toe stopping at her lips.Without saying anything he moved towards her and kissed her forehead,surprising her.

Arnav-I missed you Khushi.

As usual his husky voice melted her and his confession that he missed her made a new shade of pink to rise to her cheeks..He touched her rosy cheeks which was adored by a cute blush and pecked her cheeks lightly.

Arnav-I will go and freshen..

Saying that he left not before kissing the tip of her nose.

Khushi was sitting in the hall reading something when Arnav came and sat beside her.

Arnav-Iam hungry..

Khushi-Whaat?

Arnav-I mean Iam hungry for food Khushi..Lets have something..

Khushi-Oh..I thought..

Arnav-You thought what Khushi?

Khushi-Nn..nothing..

Arnav-So shall we move to dining hall?

Khushi nodded and followed Arnav to the dining hall.

The food was tasty..She giggled seeing Arnav struggling with fork to eat the Chappathi.

Khushi-You eat Chappathi with fork?

Arnav-I always eat with fork'It was my habit from childhood..

Khushi-Aangrezi Raizada..

Arnav heard her muttering softly and smiled..He felt nice seeing her listening his each and every actions as if she want to study more and more about him.

Khushi-Why didn't you take the daal?..It is so tasty..

Arnav-I don't like spicy or sweet food Khushi..Iam diabetic..

Khushi-Diabetic?But you are very young..

Khushi asked perplexed as the diabetic patients she knew were all of about 40-50 of age..

Arnav-It is hereditary..

Khushi-Ohh..

They finished their supper soon after talking general stuffs in between.She noticed one thing about him.He never talked so much..He gave small answers whenever she asked something..He preferred to listen her chatter..and he gave her his full and undivided attention whenever she was talking.

They both were standing infront of his room which was hers now..

Khushi-Good night..

Saying that she was about to go when she felt him stop her,holding her hand.She turned to him,confused.

Arnav-I want my good night kiss Khushi..

Khushi-huh?

Arnav(calmly)-I said I want my good night kiss..Come kiss me Khushi..

Khushi don't know what she was supposed to do now..She raised herself up and kissed his cheeks.Blushing,she was about to run from him when he stopped her again..

Arnav-Don't you want my good night kiss Khushi?

Saying that he pulled her closer and captured her lips in his..His one hand snaked around her waist while the other hand cupped her head gently deepening the kiss.Khushi's hand clutched his shoulders arching to meet his demands.He sucked and licked her lips as if he was starved for her sweetness for centuries..His fingers caressed her anarkali clad waist,making invisible patterns..His mouth travelled to her neck, kissing and biting the skin there.Her hands moved to his hair and started running her fingers through his hair.His lips moved to the corner of her neck kissing all the way.He gently bit her soft skin getting a small "ouch" from her.He sucked the same spot ,soothing his bite . He was kissing the corner of her neck,nipping the skin when he heard "Ar..arnav"..Surprised,he looked her face and saw her lost in the pleasure web created by him..It was the first time she called him by his name..It sound so passionate and different from her mouth..He again took her mouth for another thorough kiss..

Arnav-Say it again Khushi..

Khushi-Wh..what?

Arnav-My name..Say my name Khushi..

Khushi-A..ASR

Arnav-Not that..Just like the way you said it now..

Khushi-Ar..Arnav..

Arnav(peppering her face with kisses)-Thank you Khushi..You have no idea how happy and special you made me Khushi..

Saying that he leaned down again and Khushi closed her eyes knowing what is coming next..But surprising her,he kissed her forehead..

Arnav-I won't use the physical attraction between us as a tool to make you stay with me Khushi..I know my limits'and more than that I respect you..

Khushi's eyes were filled with tears of happiness..He can understand her so well..That too in such a minimum days..He wiped those tears nodding a NO.

Arnav-Be ready tomorrow morning Khushi..We have to visit some places..

He left to his room saying that.

**Next Day Morning**

Arnav was sitting in the hall waiting for Khushi to come down.They have to leave to a place today.He was ready,as usual looking handsome in his olive green shirt and blue jeans.He heard the twinkling of anklets..He looked up and saw Khushi coming down looking drop dead gorgeous in a magenta colour salwaar kameez.Her beautiful face had a minimal make up and hair tied in a pony tail..He started moving to her unknowingly.When he was beside her,he pulled her closer and planted a loud kiss on her forehead..She closed her eyes and opened it and saw him looking her lovingly.As a reflex action,her eyes drifted from his eyes to lips.He smirked seeing her innocent eyes fixed on his lips as if they know what was coming next.

Arnav(caressing her lips softly)-Later Khushi..I don't want to spoil your lipstick..

Khushi blushed a dark shade of red hearing his talk..

Arnav-And Khushi, you look very beautiful..

He whispered huskily into her ears making her blush more if that was possible.

Arnav-Shall we start?

Khushi nodded and they both left to his SUV..

It was after 45 minutes Arnav stopped SUV infront of a huge white mansion.Khushi had not been to here before.She saw a name board which read "Shantivan"..He got down first,went to her and opened the door for her..She was still confused in that new surrounding that was totally unknown to her.He held her hand and started walking to the main door..

Khushi-Which place is this Arnav?

Arnav-This is my house Khushi.

He rang the calling bell and they both were standing there waiting for somebody to open the door..Khushi was still looking at the new envirornment..The house was very big..and very posh too..Like the Palaces in movies.Do people need such big mansions to live?Do his family live here?She was about to ask him when the door opened and an old lady came to their view.She looked about 60-70 years old..Looking very neat in her green and white cotton saree , the pallu of the saree draped over her head in the traditional way..That lady had a pleasant smile on her face seeing Arnav and immediately her eyes moved to Khushi,who was standing beside Arnav.She looked Khushi and their entwined hands,confusion visible in her eyes.

Arnav-This is my Nani..Devayani Raizada..and Nani this is Khushi..

Khushi bent and touched his Nani's feet and Nani blessed her saying "Be happy always Bitiya".

Nani-Chottey had said about you Khushi bitiya.

Khushi-Chottey?

Nani-Your Arnav is our chottey..

Khushi felt butterflies at the pit of her stomach when Nani said "your Arnav"..Chottey?...That is a cute nickname.

Arnav-Now will you let us inside Nani?

Nani-Ofcourse ofcourse..Please come inside Khushi bitiya..

Their hands were still entwined and they were about to enter when Nani stopped them softly..

Nani-Right foot Khushi bitiya..Please first step your right foot..It is one of the Raizada traditions..Whenever the boy bring his bride she has to step her right foot first..

Bride?..She was not a Raizada Bride wasn't she?But still she entered as instructed by Nani.They three sat in the hall.

Nani-What do your parents do Khushi bitiya?

Khushi-My dad owns a sweet shop Naniji..

Nani-Sweet shop..That is great..Now I can go and have some tasty Lucknow wala sweets..

Khushi-Sure..You are always welcome..

Nani-So how is our Chottey?..I mean does she also take that famous anger on you?

Khushi looked at Arnav not knowing what to reply.He was looking at her,a small smile playing on his lips..

Khushi-He..he is a very good person..No naniji..He doesn't get angry at me..

Nani-Oww..That is very good..You are lucky Khushi bitiya..I mean chottey is very well known for his short temper and anger..Now I will go and get some juice for you..

Arnav-Meanwhile I will show the house to Khushi..

Nani-Okey..

"Does she stay alone here?"

Khushi asked while climbing the steps to next floor.

Arnav-Who?

Khushi-Naniji?

Arnav-Yeah..

Khushi-Alone in such a big house?

Arnav-She likes that Khushi..I come here twice in a week daily..She has servants to help..

Khushi-Ohh..

They entered a room which was somewhat like his room in guest house..Dimmly lit, pot plants surrounded..

Khushi-Your room?

Arnav-Yes..

Khushi-You love plants?

Arnav-They were like my life..I spent most of my free time nurturing them,manuaring them etc etc..Untill

Khushi-Untill?

Arnav-Untill you came to my life..Then you became my life..

Khushi stared into his eyes for a moment and saw something deep in his eyes,which were only for her..

It was then she saw the portraits behind him..She moved near them looking them carefully..

There was a photo.A middle aged woman with two kids-a boy and a girl..

Arnav(pointing the first photo)-That is me,my mumma and my Dii..It was taken when I was 4 years old and Di was 7 years..

Khushi-You looked so cute..exactly like a naughty boy..see your eyes..they still had the same colour..and your mumma looked very pretty..Dii too..

Arnav-Shobha..That was mumma's name..She was a strong lady..The strongest lady I have ever seen..

Khushi-and your father?..He is not in the photo!..

Arnav(smiling sadly)-My dad'the most stupid man I have ever seen..He was very arrogant..He never loved mumma or us..He only loved money and alchohol..He spent almost full wealth for his favorites..Alchohol n his friends..Mumma tried to correct him..But..He left us and went one fine day..Taking mumma's shares and wealth along..But mumma was strong..She had to be strong for us..She,with the help of Nani was able to stand by herself and bring her kids..She gave me n Dii the love which we didn't get from dad..We were happy..It was my 18^th b'day..Mumma wanted to celebrate it..We celebrated it and was coming from the hotel..Di was driving the car..We were chatting happily until a truck came from the opposite direction and everything were crimson..(He closed his eyes and paused for a while)..When I was back to conscious I came to know that mumma and Di was..was dead..I cried the whole day and Nani tried to console me..I became an orphan..at my 18^th b'day..

Tears were rolling though Khushi's cheeks..The things she suffered were nothing infront of the pain he had gone through.

Arnav(taking Khushi's hand in his)-Why Khushi?..Why do I lose every bit happiness from my life?..First my dad's love'Then my mumma and Di..I don't have anybody Khushi..Everybody left me..My Di,mumma..Now you will also leave me after some more days..Why?..Am I not deserved to be loved?..Why didn't they leave me and went?..Mumma and Di could have take me also with..

He was stopped by Khushi's palm on his mouth.

Khushi-Don't say like that Arnav..Please don't talk about dying..I can't stand that..

Saying that she pulled him to her embrace hugging him tightly..Arnav also hugged her tightly burying his face near her hair and crying badly..He want to take out all his pain today..He want to share it with her..Khushi rubbed his back softly soothing him..She let him cry as he want as she know it would help him feel better.He hugged her tightly and cried,like he did when he lost his mumma and Di..

All these were seen by Nani who had came there to call them.She wiped the tears using her saree and smiled through her tears..Her Chottey was in right hands now..He had found his perfect girl..She left not disturbing the couple..

After a some time Arnav pulled back from the hug feeling better and relieved after sharing his pain with Khushi..Khushi cupped his face softly and kissed his both cheeks and forehead..she pecked his lips softly..

Khushi-Lets go down..Naniji might be waiting..

When they reached downstairs Nani was sitting there..Nani came to them and made Khushi sit beside her.She still had those happy tears..Khushi was looking at Nani confused, so was Arnav..Nani took a small red box which was kept beside her and opened it..There were two gold bangles..She took them from the box.

Nani-This is Shobha's..Chottey's mother's..She had kept it for chottey's would be wife from his 17^th birthday..She used to tell that her daughter in law will be the one who makes chottey happy, who cares him,who loves him..

Nani hold Khushi's hand and made her wear those bangles..

Nani-Now they belong to the rightful owner..You are the missing part in Chottey's life Khushi bitiya..Like said by Shobha, you will bring Khushi to his life..

Nani kissed Khushi's forehead..Khushi looked the bangles which were adoring her wrists..Her moist eyes fixed on the sparkling bangles which were gifted by the mother of the man..man she love..man who loves her deeply..She looked Arnav teary eyed, and found him standing opposite her his eyes were watery but a small smile was adoring his lips..
