Chapter-2
Khushi came out of the lake and stated wiping herself when she felt someone's gaze on her. She saw a pair of Brown eyes staring at her. She screamed in horror. A stranger was looking at her when she was here standing only half clothed which was already wet and clinging to her like a second skin.
Before Arnav knew what was coming, he was hit by a few pebbles and stones. That girl whom he had been lost in until a few seconds ago until he was rudely interrupted by the pebbles was the one hurling at him. When she couldn't find proper pebbles anymore she started throwing sand at him.
"Hey Stop it, What the hell is wrong with you" shouted Arnav.
"What the hell is wrong with me?? I should be the one asking that mister, how dare you stand there looking at me...you shameless moron" replied Khushi.
"Excuse me if you don't want to be stared at then I suggest you go and bathe where anybody can come anytime" pointed out Arnav.
"This was deserted place until you butted in" replied Khushi.
"Exactly if you decide to bathe in open anybody can come here"
"You are impossible, first you shamelessly stare and now you don't even bother to apologise"
"Oye, I am not the one standing here half naked"
Realization quickly dawned on Khushi's face. She quickly took her dupatta wrapped it around herself and ran from there without turning back. Arnav watched her in amusement and ran after her.
Khushi ran back straight to the Ashram and banged on to Subhadra Devi on the way. Subhadra Devi was even more shocked to see her grandson running right behind Khushi. Khushi went and stood behind subhadra Devi hiding herself from Arnav. She was surprised when Arnav bent down to get Subhadra Devi's blessings.
"Jeethe Raho Bitwa" blessed Subhadra.
Arnav wanted to hug his Dadi but knew that she would not approve of it.
"Why are you here Arnav?"
" I am here for my work Dadi, I am camping out nearby with my friends" replied Arnav. Subhadra gave him a look over, she saw the way her grandson was staring at Khushi. Can I dare to hope thought Subhadra devi.
"Khushi go inside the ashram and get dressed properly" Said Subhadra devi strictly.
"Ji Guruji" replied Khushi and walked away.
Arnav watched her go in disappointed.
"Dadi please don't tell me that she is a part of your ashram" said Arnav annoyed for some reason.
"Yes she is" replied Dadi.
Arnav felt irritated. Oh I am so gonna take her and run away from this place thought Arnav.
"You Don't have to" said Dadi.
Shit did I say that loud thought Arnav.
"yes you did" said Dadi.
'So Do you Like Khushi?"
Khushi so that was her name.
"I am waiting for an answer Arnav"
"What's the point Dadi she is a part of your ashram" replied Arnav sulking.
"But you were planning to take her and runaway anyway" said Dadi.
Arnav gave her a sheepish grin.
"She is beautiful Dadi and so innocent" said Arnav " I don't know what I feel for her but I like her"
"Well then listen, She has been here for a week now and she wants to become a sanyasi here but I have not accepted her yet, I don't want her to take this descision for the wrong reasons, Take her with you win over her heart if that is what you want" Said Dadi and walked away.
Arnav looked like a kid whose mom had just told him to eat how many ever chocolates he wants, Like chrismas had arrived early.

Khushi Kumari Gupta had a sleepless night like all her other nights and this was evident from her red eyes next day. She wondered if she would ever sleep properly without her nightmares haunting her. She gazed at her own reflection in the lake once again and hated the person that she had become.
"You are looking beautiful, you don't have to confirm it by looking at your own reflection every now and then"
Khushi jumped at the sudden voice and looked around. She saw Arnav seated comfortably in the branch of a nearby tree.
'YOU? What the hell are you doing here"
" I told you yesterday that this place is open for everyone, I was hoping to catch you bathing once again" said Arnav and winked at her. She glared at him in return. He noticed that her eyes were Red. Was it due to lack of sleep or was it because of crying wondered Arnav.
"Your eyes are red. Looks like somebody could not sleepwell last night. Did I invade your dreams darling" asked Arnav.
" I have enough nightmares to deal with as it is, without you intruding" replied Khushi.
"You wound my heart, sweetheart".
"You are insufferable"
"Nah I am irresistable"
"You are so full of yourself"
"No I am totally into you"
"I hope you fall from that branch and hurt yourself"
"If you will take care of me after that I am ready to jump right now"
"I hate you"
"I love you".
Khushi looked at him shocked even Arnav seemed surprised at himself for what he had just said.
