Part 7
She sat on her bed after packing all her things. Laying her head on the headboard she looked around her small apartment. It had only one room, and the space between the kitchenn, bathroom, hall and her room was limited, she had been very happy with it. In fact she had fallen in love with it the momment she lay her eyes on it when she was finding for a place to rent years back. Fate being on her side the land lady madhumathi was a very sweet lady who had rented her this place without taking any deposit from her but thats because she had been entirely honest with the truth about herself. She had explained to her how she ended up in the streets and madhu aunty as she used to call had just listened and consoled her without being judgemental. The round looking lady infact claimed love makes people do things and its not entirely her fault and she should be proud of herself for standing up and fighting for her life. She built the home from scratch with whatever money she had left back then after her father threw her out.She worked two jobs because she was not able to complete her degree,one as a sales girl in a departmental store and also through managing small events with the help of Madhu aunty. In a year or less she had saved up enough money and she became succesfull in managing events she had start up her own consultation after quiting from the department store. Ever since there was never turning back. She earned enough for her survival. She was content with what ever she had even though she was not herself.
She always felt that the best part of her life was this house. After every tiring and long day this house was her solace. Though small, it had a cozy feeling, a sense of belonging but she did not know she will feel the same anymore as Tommorow was the day that she will slave herself to Arnav Singh Raizada for the rest if her life. She did not know what she should expect from this contract. Why would he do this? After all this years he has return to take revenge. However much he tried to act that he has no feelings, she had witnessed the vulnerable side of him in the past. However tough and wicked was his exterior deep down Arnav was an emotional fool. He would do anything for the person he cares though he would never express it verbally. Yes things went wrong between them and it was solely because of him and his rebelliousness towards life. What started as a fight than attraction yet again denial and fight they had fallen in love, they became one and then when reality hit them hard on the face it smashed and broke them apart. He became a stranger to her and she had put up with him till a day where she could not take it anymore. She left him, she left him when he was someone she could not recognize anymore. She was shattered when she saw him in a very compromising situation. She felt betrayed and hurt. She had left her morals and her beleives for him but he.. he was a devil in disguise. He had turned her life upside down. She regretted the day she accepted him in her life.
FLASHBACK
Ever since the fight in the lab, Arnav had been drinking all time. He came to college drunk and always looked at Khushi from a far. He could not accept that she had denied him. Somehow he realised that this it was not just a mere attraction as Arnav Singh Malik does not give a heck to girls and changes them like clothes. He kept wondering why was she different.
She herself was no more her chirpy happy self. She had been avoiding everyone including Lavanya her best friend. She realised that she was hurting ever since she and Arnav confronted each other but what could she do. She was not willing to give in herslf to the guy who do not understand the meaning of love and life. She wanted everything that comes with love and the worst part is she wanted it with him The devil that does not believe in the name of love. She had seen him in college but everytime they cross paths he would give a snide remark, curse loudly or kick something on the ground with force showing as if he does not care. But what he dint know is that she had seen him. He had always waited hidden untill she board her bus and nowdays he will follow the bus till her house to makesure she reached safely. Her heart swelled everytime but at the sametime made her more confuse. Why would someone go this far for sex or for mere girl. Than she realized that the boy himself did not understand what he wants.
Arnav was sitting in a bar with Rhea in his arms. She was litterally grinding on him and touching him everywhere. But he did not feel like doing her or any one. It had been days since he was with any girl. And that was definately a breaking news. All he had on his mind was Khushi,Khushi and only Khushi. He remembered the times they bumped onto each other, he purposely throwed profanities and rude remarks to show that he abhorred her but he could not deny the fact that he was still concern of her. He did not like it when she waited for the bus alone in the dark, so he would always wait for her to leave the college no matter what ever the time is and follow her bus till she reached her apartment. He donot realize the fundermental point of his underlaying behavior. She was just a girl who people would call plain jane but he has girls throwing themself on him looking like a kapoor, kaif and leonee a matter of fact. Then why her? He was not attracted to her body but to her. Her whole self. He concluded. He liked her for her.
He pushed Rhea who was sitting on his lap making her all numb with his action and walked out of the pub leaving all his friends who was calling him from behind. He drove his bike to the destination in break neck speed.
Sleep was faraway in her mind. She was surfing the net aimlessly. Suddenly her phone started buzzing, wondering who was it this late she read the message.
"come down! "
It was Arnav. To say she was shocked would be understatement. What was she suppose to do. Against all her thoughts she went down. She saw a drunken Arnav down sitting on his bike.
"Arnav?what are you doing here? its so late?"
"I want to tell you something Khushi"he answered her hazily as he got down from the bike walking towards her.
"wha..what is it? she askes dumbly as he put his hand around her waist and her pulled her towards him. He leaned towards her closely and whispered "I want you Khushi , I want all of you. I am willing to wait for the day that you will accept me. The day that only I matter to to you and no one else. I need you khushi and I willing to do anything to make you mine." with that he gave her a long wet kiss in her cheek and walked back to his bike. Feeling relieved that he finaly said what he wanted he had a smile on hia face.
Khushi was not only feeling dizzy with the smell of alcohol that came from him but the words he spoke and also the kiss. Getting a grip of herself she questioned him in a haze as she rubbed the spot he kissed" kyun??"
He shrugged his shoulder and replied" I dont Know" without waiting for her answer he drove off his bike feeling like he accomplished something for the first time in his life and smiling like a looser to himself.
"Enough Khushi, what the hell is wrong with you? why have you been avoiding me and why are you not hanging out with us anymore? " yelled Lavanya who was annoyed with Khushi's behaviour. She had invited Khushi for the neighborhood holy function but she denied saying she had alot of work pending. She knew Arnav would be there and she dint know how is she suppose to react towards him after everything that has happened between them. She was staring into the space as Lavanya kept on shooting her with questions.
" Hello, earth to Khushi" shaking Khushi shoulder in the process
"uh" blurredly looked at Lavanya
"is this something to do with Arnav?"
That made her alert " why would you say that"
"well you are not denying it either missy. now come on, out with the truth already"
So khushi has no choice as she narated every single detail that occurred between her and Arnav to lavanya. After ending the whole story she looked at Lavanya with quizical face.
"so..yeah."
Lavanya to stunned to speak looked at Khushi
"so yeah? are you for real Khushi , I can't believe it..You are telling me this now. This is breaking news babe! I cant believe Arnav, I mean Arnav Singh Malik proposed to you. Khushi he had never been serious about any girl and he says he is willing to wait for you! You must have done some black magic on him babe."
"La whats wrong with you? I am serious here and you are joking about it" Khushi scowled at Lavanya
"Whats there to be serious Khushi. It's about what you want? Arnav had never been like this. He changed girls like he changes bus. Now he wants you, he is possesive over you, he cares for you and he is willing to wait. whats all this if its not love?He loves you my friend , he loves you!why dont you see that. So its wheather you love him back or not? so now you my friend should tell me, if you love him or not?"
"I dont know La, I dont know. I mean he is just not the kind of guy I want or my family would accept. I am just to afraid."she stressed
"so you love him?"Lavanya asked in a no nonsense tone.
"what? when did I say I love him" she said looking into the space but Lavanya pulled her facing towards herself and hold a shoulders both side gently and explained
"well. for starters you never say you dont. second khushi, you are thinking to deep into this if you claim you dont love him. Its simple if you dont, you dont. you wont runaway, you wont think to much into it. The symptoms you are showing clearly indicates something else"
"You really think so, I mean you really think I love him? "she asked with a certain glint in her eyes.
"Thats not for me to think Khush. Its for you to know. If you love Arnav you should at least give him a chance. I know you think he is characterless but deep down theres a different guy in him. You never know if you dont try.It may work out or it may not but atleast you tried . And if you dont you might end up regretting one day."
It was the 25th of March. Khushi,La, Nk and Amaan were playing with the colors as it was holi. Suddenly she felt stiff. She could feel him, he was somewhere around here and her eyes started scanning through the crowd. Then she saw him, he was walking towards the group wearing navy blue jeans and a white shirt. He had his eyes only on her and his mouth in a smirk as he arrived.
""hi!" he said in a husky tone.
She looked everywhere except for him as she was feeling nerveous suddenly. He waited for her to reply his "hi" by staring straight at her and ignoring everyone else around them. She had no choice but to say a meek hi to him making him smile like a lover boy. He loved the effect he had on her. When she was about to walk away, Lavanya grabbed her hand making her stay put there.
"Put some color on her, Arnav! see her face is still free of color. She had been escaping from just now" Lavanya said, Immedietly NK hold her other side making khushi trap in between lavanya and Nk.
Khushi shaked her head in denial as Arnav brought the red color to her face. She stood still as his palm touched her cheeks. She looked at him as she melted in to is caramel brown eyes and his butter soft touch as he glided the red color over her cheeks.
