Part 10

She was sitting at the dining table ever since Arnav left and its more than two hours she was in the same position doing nothing. Her head was paining so badly, she knew she had her migraine attack. She moved from the table to the suitcases and boxes she brought rummaging through finding for her medicine, feeling frustrated she begin throwing the things around in hope that she lays her eyes soon on the pills and her new phone beeped alerting her there was a message. She woke up in a swing and walked towards the table again shakily. She took the phone and saw there was a message from Arnav Singh Raizada as the name was saved by himself. The message stated

From Arnav Singh Raizada:

I will be going to Mumbai. will be back after 3 days.

She looked at the phone at the same time grabbed her hair feeling the pain increasing. At first she wanted to ignore the message but some how despite that she was in pain, she replied

From Khushi:

achaa thats great news. just for the record you can go to Mumbai or even to hell! I dont give a F**k!

She went back to her suitcase in the hall with the phone in her hand. She chucked the phone by her side and squat down finding the pain killers. Feeling her pulse pounding on her head taking over her frustration, she laid beside the bags holding her head with her hands. She was feeling very week and could not bear the pain. Tears started streaming down her face. She started banging her head backwards feeling slightly better She curled herself up on the carpet trying to curb the pain. As she looked up the ceiling she wonder how on earth she ended up here.

Flashback:

It has been nine months since she and Arnav became a couple. They were the it couple of the college. Some people were happy for them but many were envious of them especially the girls who were crazy over Arnav and nevertheless Khushi's trust on him and Arnavs loyalty were so yielding that nothing could separate them.

Every thing was fine and dandy between them until Arjun Singh Malik decided to get married again. Arnav who had always loved his mother a lot could not accept the fact that his mother's place would be replaced that too by a maid. He had fought with his father but his sister managed to console him. Hence he decided if his dad wanted to get married it's fine but he will not live with them and he is father agreed provided that he will be given enough cash to sustain himself every month. He had ignored anjalis plea not to leave home. He decided that he had to find a place to stay and that's when he approached the topic to Khushi if the could live together as she lived alone.

Arnav sitting at the cafe nearby Khushi's house waiting for her. Arnav was looking very much distressed and fidgety not sure how to broach the topic to her as he knew that she was a bit conservative, not that he mind in fact that was one of her traits that made him like her. Just then he saw her , in a white khurthi top with dark denim jeans walking inside the cafe as she passed a generous smiles to everyone around.

"Hi..!" khushi great him politely as she took the sit beside him. When she sat down beside him, she received a soft peck on her cheek and a soft "hi" from him, which she blushed. Just then the waiter came by and asked their order. Arnav ordered coke for him and hot chocolate for her with out even asking her, as he knew what she liked in return she just smilled at the waiter.

After the waiter placed their orders on the table, she turned and looked at him. He was staring outside the window as if thinking something deep.

she touched his arm breaking his thoughts "Arnav what's wrong? Is there a problem?"she asked him gently.

He turned and looked at her deeply, a strand of her hair was tickling her cheek and he tucked it in gently behind her ear. "Nothing baby. just need to ask you something. Actually I need a favour from you. But I don't know how to ask you. ."

Khushi who was get getting impatient cut him off "what favor -favor Arnav. All you need to do is tell me and I will do it for you..whats there to think a lot about. Now tell me what should I do"

"Khushi..this is not as easy as it seems.. Infact I am pretty sure that you might be reluctant of the thing I am gona ask you.. !" he spoke gently as he rubbed his sweaty palms together.

She grasped one of his palm" Arnav you know I will give my life for you if you ask so just tell me what is it and I will do. Dewi Maiya ki kasam."

"Khushi..why? why are you so nice. you are like an angel in my life." he asked looking at her as though she was some angel with halo and wings.

"that I am..now faster tell me..I getting restless already! " she asked looking at him with concentration.

"Dad's getting married again!" he claimed pushing his hair back and looked out the window but immediately she grabbed his cheeks and pulled him to face her trying to read him.

"what? with whom? I mean its ..I mean are you not happy with it?" she asked unsure how to react to the statement.

"it does not matter Khushi what he does or whoever he wants to get married with. I dont care but I am not going to stay at a place where my mom is going to be replaced. " he said gritting his teeth while Khushi looked stunned at him

"par arnav?? it's your dad! maybe he is getting married. ." she mumbled as he cut her off.

"Khushi lets not talk about it." he said sternly than pleaded softly " please. ."

"ok fine..so what was the favour you wanted to ask me?" she smilled as she asked him gently

"Thats the thing I wanted to ask you.. I mean I told you right I don't want to stay in that house.." he looked in her eyes as he spoke while she nodded in understanding though she looked at him apprehensively waiting for him to continue.

"I need a place to stay and I was wondering if I..I mean..since you live alone.. I mean can I like move in with you.." he asked with batted breath while she was speecless.

She started thinking hard, digesting what he said. She could not deny him but at the same time it didn't feel right.

"But Arnav. . I mean we cant stay togather.. its not appropriate. .we are not married .." she stammered. .

Arnav grabbed her both her hand in his and looked at her.

"Khushi..I understand where you are coming from but its not wrong, its called live in. its normal nowdays for boyfriend and girlfriend to live togather. please.. I dont have anywhere else to go..but its ok if you dont want. I will look for some other place. ." he chided.

Ever since he dropped the bom, She was in a dilemma one side it was her morals and the other it was Arnav. They had no ties and it was immoral to live with a guy without marriage especially in their society. Than her babuji came in her mind. He had so much of trust in her that he got her this apartment. they were not very rich but they were well to do and her father had did everything for her so that she could live comfortably. He would be very dissapointed if he found out but at the same time she could not turn down Arnav. Poor soul, he had no where to go and he was seeking for her. what was suppose to do..than she decided she would do it for her love. She can't let him suffer and she had promised she will do what ever he asks her too.

"ok fine..you can stay in my house. "

"sure??" he was caught by surprise

"yes!" she shaked her head

"thank you baby..thank you so much you are the best" he hugged her. They pulled back from the hug, Arnav was staring at her face and suddenly he puleed her face close to his and sealed his lips with hers. She was feeling the kiss when suddenly she realize that they were in cafe she pulled back leaving him confuse.

"public!"she wishpered to him and he laughed a hearty one ruffling her hair.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was the day of Arjun's wedding. Arnav did not even attend the grand wedding ceremony but stood infront of Khushi"s door step with a large suit case, a large box and his bike. Khushi welcomed him and togather they made her place theirs.

" all done baby" arnav pulled her to the sofa and made her sit inbetween his thighs tying his hands around her waist and smelling her hair from the back.

"acha? where are you going to sleep? " she chided as he nuzzled her neck with his nose.

"what are you doing? why are you sniffing me?" she pretended to be annoyed as she hit his hand to which he replied as though he was intoxicated " you smell great and its so addictive!"

"Arnav..! she shrieked "now come back to my question." she looked at him side ways

"where else? in the bedroom ofcourse. ." he smirked again Inhaling her.

"No way.." she snapped turning fully to him. " you sleep here on this sofa" she ordered

"why? is preppy ms.gupta afraid?" he sneered

"what the hell.. Arnav..I am not scared but its wrong for girl and boy to share a bed with out being married. I am not ok" she snapped but suddenly felt Arnav pulling her to face him as grabbed he face closer to his and she quickly closed her eyes feeling his breathe fan her

"I will sleep on the couch!" he told her huskily, hearing that her eyes snapped up only to close back as seeing her parted rosy lips he placed his lips on hers. After some time as if in trance he pulled back from her and looked at her while her eyes were still closed. Her flushed face, slightly messed up hair, her heaving chest and her intoxicating scent. He wondered why is he so drawn to this girl that he aspects nothing in return excecpt to be with her. Unexpectedly he remove the white gold bracelet that he always wore and called her name huskily.

She looked up to him, as he grabbed her wrist." khushi I want you to be with me forever and I promise you that I will never ever leave you no matter what. I know you believe in traditions and morals but for now I only can give you this!" he slipped the bracelet into her wrist. Though it was huge for her somehow it fit her and then he kissed her wrist. " my mother gave this to me. she said its a good luck charm and I want you to have this. This is a promise from me. A promise that I will never ever leave you and that you belong to me. This binds you to me and to show that you are mine! Please dont ever remove this." he told her and hugged her as she try to blink away her tears feeling the emotions from within tightening the hug as she mumbled slowly"i promise!"

____________________________________________________________

She was still laying on the floor putting her one arm over her head as she thought back. But this time as she cried she had a smile. A smile that remembered her of sweet memories with him. He had been a darling in the initial stages of their relationship. He would never even hurt her unknowingly. A message alert tone brought her back to reality. She looked outside the sliding door and noticed that it was almost late afternoon. She grabbed her phone and saw the message it was from Arnav again. Groaning "what does he want know " she slide the phone to see the message.

From Arnav Singh Raizada:

what are you doing? Why haven't you called ms.shekar yet?

From Khushi:

who the hell is ms.shekar? and why do I need to call her

she replied forgetting about the card he had gave her regarding her new assistant.

From Arnav Singh Raizada:

are you kidding me? you assistant damn it! you are supposed to contact her

From Khushi"

screw you!

she replied annoyed with his orders she texted him back.

From Arnav Singh Raizada:

Khushi!.. watch your words damn it!

From Khushi

F**k off!

purposely being rude to him as he was not around and through text only she could annoy him as he can't do much.

From Arnav Singh Raizada:

Khushi I am warning you!

From Khushi

take your warning and Shuff it up your Arse!

From Arnav Singh Raizada:

Khushi..

By now she knew he was beyond pissed so she decided to ignore him by turning the phone off.

She woke up from the floor and felt the throbbing pain in her head and also her stomach growling! As she tried to steady herself, she felt her world spinning.

It was beyond midnight when he had reached her house. He had cancelled his trip since he had a nagging feeling that something was not right with her. He rang the calling bell a few times but she showed no signs of opening the door, he fished out the spare keys he had and opened the door. He walked straight to the room as he scanned the dining area and pathway as he passed and entered the room he was hoping to find her there but she was not there as well, feeling the anger seep in of her disappearance he walked to the hall he saw all her things scattered he pushed it with his leg only to find her on the floor lifelessly. Guilt and worry took over him as her ran to her side. Her face and lips was pale while her body seemed fragile! He grabbed her and placed her on his thighs as he gently tapped her face.

"Khushi..please wake up honey. Baby what happen? whats wrong with you?Baby I am sorry, please open your eyes " he shake her vigorously as tears started to stream down his face.

Feeling wet droplets hitting her face she squirmed to open her eyes. She squinted her eyes as she recognized the person in front of her. What shocked her even more was that Arnav had tears in her eyes and she heard his confession.

The moment he realized that she had gain consciousness, he turned his face that side and wiped of his tears masking his emotions he put up a stern exterior but still gentle with her.

"what happen" he asked her gently

"nothing" she squirmed trying to get of him which he only tightened his hold. He knew it was futile to argue with her because she was a stubborn person thus he lifted her in his arms and brought her to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed slowly while she looked at him with a myriad of emotions wondering who is this man in front of her.

"did you eat anything? should I call a doctor? what happened?" he asked with concern as he straightened her dishellved hair.

"I am fine!" she turned away to the other direction.

"whats wrong with you dammit! You are not fine! So can you tell me whats wrong! stop being stubborn Khushi! wait, I will call the doctor! he said sternly

"its just migrain attack. theres no need to call the doctor! I dont know where I placed my meds." she said softly trying not to cry as she forgot how it felt to face someone who cared and dint know if he really cared or was pretending.

Seeing her pale face he felt bad for her. "where did you keep it?

" in one of my bags! I will find it!" she was about to wake up but felt him push her back down!

"I will find it!" he said hoarsely

"Dont bother" she claimed trying to get up again but again he pushed her gently.

"I said I will find it!" he woke and went to her bags in the hall while she looked at him from far when he came back empty handed she looked away.

"its not there" he said scratching his head and continued " whats the name of the medicines I will get it for you!"

"there's no need for your fake concern! I will manage!" she said trying to settle herself to sleep.

"Khushi stop being childish! whats the name of the meds? your migraine wont go off easily unless you have your meds! " he told her gently and sat beside her. He palmed her face and rubbed her cheeks in concern.

Feeling his warm fingers she gave up, she had no strength to argue with him. " I dont know! its prescribed medicine!" she told him with her eyes closed.

He was about to take his phone and call someone when his eyes laid on the suitcase that was hidden in the corner of the room. He remembered that she had dragged it here in the morning and forgot all about it.

He went to the suitcase and rummaged through finally feeling relieved that he found the meds. He walked backed to her and tapped her arm gently. "its here!" she grabbed the meds and was about to wake up when he steadied her asking her to sit " what do you want?"

"I need to have something before I take them!" she said slowly

" I will get you something to eat!" he said understandingly

He woke up and went to the kitchen and in few minutes he brought her instant mushroom soup with garlic bread. He placed the tray on the bedside table and pulled her to sitting position. She noticed that he had removed his west coat and top 2 buttons of his shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbow. Once she was settled she was about to grab the bread, he stopped her and took the bread and dipped it in the soup and brought it to her mouth. Though first reluctant to get his help she opened her mouth in frustration and once she felt the food she realized how hungry she was. In no time she finished her meal and looked at him questioningly as he had an eyebrow up looking at her in amusement. He ignored her look and took a glass of water and put the meds in her mouth and she gulped it down silently. He looked at her and felt she was getting better. Than he realized she was still wearing the same cloths from morning and she needs to have her bath. Without informing her, he stood up and lifted her in hi arms.

"lets go" he started walking to the bathroom.

"where are you taking me? Put me down?" she squirmed

"you need to have a warm bath! You will feel better!" he maintained his stance

"What? I don't want to have a bath" kicking her legs in the air.

" shut up!" he placed her on the slab and started opening her buttons!

" I can do it myself, " she pushed his hands away.

" really khushi?" he said smirking and in no time he stripped her top of her and she immediately covered her chest with her arms. " don't you think I have seen all of you, that you are trying to cover yourself now!" he shocked her with his bold statement as she felt her face turn red in embarrassment.

"I don't need your help to have a bath. I can do it myself!" she sulked feeling the medicines kick in but he ignored her as he started to open her bra and undid her pants button slowly removing her clothes of her body and all the while looking straight into her eye and no where else. After undoing her clothes he went to the bath tub and feel it with hot water. He removed his shirt and pants, leaving his boxers on he placed it on the hook. He came back to her and carried her to the tub. Feeling their naked bodies rub against each other they felt an unknown familiar sensation.

He carefully placed her in the tub and sat right behind, Feeling the warm water hit her she closed her eyes and felt a sense of relieve but jolted when she felt his naked body behind her back and he calm her down by soothing her when he rubbed his hands all over her arms and skin while his another hand was holding the shower. Feeling distraught she was about to get up but he pulled her hard down back. She turned and looked at him furiously but was shaken when he captured her lips with his but she tightened her lips not giving him any access. He pressed his lips harder and nipped her lips harshly. She gasped and in return he started kissing her deeply plunging his tongue into her mouth tasting every corner of it while she reacted like a statue. Seconds later he felt wetness on his cheeks and he looked at her. She did not know when she started crying and in return he hugged from behind and both of them sat like that while she wailed he had silent tears, the shower forgotten.
