Chapter 39

Part 36

Khushi and Arnav reached at the Delhi Airport with Aman completing all the documentation related things. In less than 20 minutes Aman and Arnav will be seating in the plane flying to England for business purpose. Khushi's hand was glued on Arnav's arm with her head resting on his shoulder. Even he hasn't flown away yet but she already started to miss him. These next few days, would be little difficult for her. She would miss one of the men she started to love from the deep of her heart.

Arnav: "Why you sending me with a gloomy look..?" They stood when Aman gestured Arnav from far that they need to move now towards the departing gate. A place which Khushi or accompany not allowed to enter.

Khushi: "You will call me right..?" She asked instead of answering his query.

Arnav: "I will.. I defiantly call you no matter what..!" He kissed the knuckles of her both hands.

Khushi: "I love you.." Now this was getting harder for him either. He pulled her closer, erasing the distance with his arms slides behind her waist. His mouth captured the rose petals of her lips into a light kiss.

Arnav: "I love you to baby.. Love you so much.." Again he kissed her ignoring the surround. Well, there were hardly more than ten people around. Most of them were busy in adios-ing their own family members. None were giving much attention to the love bird.

Khushi: "You should go Aman waiting for you.." She rubbed her fingers on his stubble. It pricked her skins but yet the sensation was nice to feel.

Arnav: "Let him wait.. I'm going to see him day night after this unlike you.. Baby don't be too naughty.. Make sure you always answer my calls.." He remind..

Khushi: "You too.. Have control on your eyes. I don't want to hear any gossips of Arnav Singh Raizada seen in the Bar with hot and sexy model. Dare to do something like that..!!" Arnav laughed so loudly after hearing her deadly warning to him.

Arnav: "No worries, I will never do something that might hurt you. It's my promise.. But Khushi what if the girls tried to seduce me..? What am I suppose to do..?" He didn't ask the queries in seriousness as he just wanted to have little fun after noticing the change from Khushi's face. She was eyeing him angrily.

Khushi: "Let her do anything but you don't melt with her seduction." She worn..

Arnav: "Am I an ice-cream that I will melt that easily..!" He chuckled..

Aman (Interrupting them): "If you both are done.. Can we start now ASR..?" Khushi tried to come out from Arnav's hold once she realized the teasing smirks on Aman's face. However, Arnav didn't loosen the grip in fact he pulled her more closely, ignoring Aman's widen eyes.

Arnav: "You go ahead.. I will escort you in one minute.. Let me bid bye to my sweetheart properly.." Aman laughed before disappearing from their eye sight. Even Khushi was feeling shy when Arnav uttered such words before Aman. "Take care of yourself.. I will call you almost every day.. Don't ever ignore my calls..!" He buried himself in her arms.

Their hold tightens not letting the arms off from each other. Khushi rested her chin on his shoulder with her face turning puffy.

The sudden announcement by the caller made them pulled back. Arnav cupped Khushi's cheeks before he leaned to give her the most attempting kiss. They pulled off as he was running out of time.

Khushi: "I will miss you Arnav.." He carried his laptop bags and turn to meet Khushi who was already looking at him.

Arnav: "I will miss you too.." He gives a last kiss on her cheeks before he disappeared behind the gates. Khushi keep finding the glimpses of her lover but she found nothing. Sigh!

She had never thought that some days she will fall in love with the man she used to hate the most in this world. Even she used to regret for meeting a man like Arnav Singh Raizada. Those days, she used to curse her faith for making Arnav walked in her life. That was such an awful day for her. But once the time progress everything changed. She started to fall for the beast. A man who scars her heart once with his unbearable actions.. The word HATE echoed with LOVE.

***********

Last night she shifted at the Malhotra House which was just opposite the Raizada Mansion. The house was ready for a stay after the renovation. Khushi informed the servants to clean the bedrooms so that her brother, Nanu and Zain can live there comfortably once they arrived. Just after informing the servants, Khushi's neck turn towards the door after hearing the loud horn of cars..

Quickly, she run near the main doors only to find three cars halted at the entrance of Malhotra premise. Seeing the individuals in front of her, a grin of happiness splash on her face.. The Raizada and Malhotra reached together and that was the news.. She didn't know about this..! They surprised her..

Khushi hugged her brother first then followed by her grandfather and later the others. All of them were smiling broadly. Seem they had met at the airports.

************

Teas and snacks were presented for the newly arrived members. Khushi was seating in between Zain and her brother Sanjay. The eldest were talking while the youngest were just being the audience. That's when Tanuja asked Khushi about Arnav. A flush spread on her face. The name itself has a deep effect on her.

Tanuja: "Where is Chotte, Khushi..? Anjali tried to call him but he wasn't answering..! We wanted to inform him about our early start.. Even Aman is out of reachable.." All the eyes stare Khushi looking for answer. It looks so awkward.

Khushi: "Err.. Aunty he went England for work purpose.. May be in next few days he will return.." Even she didn't know the exact day Arnav would probably come back from the trip. The only he informed that once everything finalize there he will come back to her. And she was waiting for that day..! Just 24 hours passed but she already missing him as she didn't meet him from the last 24 years.

Ronit (Firmly): "How can he be so careless..? We left you here under his responsibility but seem he didn't fulfill his duty..!" Anger rose on Ronit's face. Perhaps, Khushi didn't like the way Arnav's father was accusing his son. She knew very much how Arnav take care of herself. He always returns home early unlike before. There were only once or twice that he was late but that hold for a reason.

Khushi: "No Uncle.. He didn't go down from his duty. It's just that he need to flown to England immediately or else he won't leave me alone here. Even the security force been increased only if you notice at the gate. In fact, I already informed him that my brother coming on the next day or else he already insisted me to follow him to England.." Everyone was looking at her like she spill something wrong. Indeed surprised..!

Anjali: "Mahi, is this the same Khushi who previously can't stand with our chotte for a second?"

Mahi: "Di, she is defending him..! If Bhai is here, he will say Unbelievable..!!" The siblings laughed..

Tanuja: "Stop pulling my Khushi's leg.. From Khushi's word I'm fully satisfied my Chotte didn't neglect his responsibility." Tanuja was always sweet with everyone. No wonder Arnav loved her so much even she was his step mother.

Zain: "So our Khushi got a new friend huh.. After me..??" He breaks the ice for staying quiet.

While, Khushi whispered in her heart.. Before you Zain, no more after.. If possible she wanted to scream loudly saying that he took her heart. Now, Arnav Singh Raizada is the owner of her heart and her breathe only whispered his name. That sound so like a love sick puppy.

Sanjay: "Khushi..??" He shook her literally bringing her back to present.

Khushi: "Huh.." She looked a bit messy..

Sanjay: "So how your study going on..?" Her brother was always serious.. Even today!

Khushi: "Good, I completed my internship.." Sanjay patted her shoulder feeling proud of his baby sister.

Sanjay: "So what you planning next..?" Khushi sigh..!

Khushi: "Oh Bhaiya.. Can we stop discussing about educations..? Now, you tell me when you are getting married..?" The only topic that Sanjay don't like to get involve..

Sanjay: "Zain, let me show you around..!" They stood up and dismissed from the family. Zain was smiling with his step escorting Sanjay. He already knew Sanjay very well. He will only settle his life once he makes Khushi married and confirmed that the boy will able to make his baby sister happy. In fact much happiest then he can ever make.

Khalash: "Your brother is very stubborn Khushi.. He will never agree so easily..!" Her Grandfather said.

The family members started to march towards their respective room. While, the servants began to clean the coffee tables. Only Khushi and Mahi were left in the living room. Mahi walked near Khushi with her hand resting on her hips. Her eyes were looking straight towards a direction.

Mahi: "Tera Bhai bhara hot hai..! (Your brother is so hot..!)" Khushi chuckled hearing the phase..

Khushi: "He has phobia towards female.." Mahi's mouth opened..

Mahi: "Is he.. I mean Ga..."

Khushi (Interrupting): "Nooo...!" She didn't want one more person to claim her brother as Gay..! Previously it was done by Arnav and now even Mahi. "He has problem in mixing round.. But don't worry that can be overcome.. I believe it can be..!" She was adamant.

Mahi: "Sad to know this.." Khushi wasn't in mood to talk about this. She thought of diverting the topic. Maybe this was the right time to inform Mahi about her and Arnav.

Khushi: "I need to tell you something.."

Mahi: "What..?"

Khushi: "I already fall in lo..."

One of the servants intrudes them leaving a message to Khushi that her mobile were probably ringing in her room. Khushi was very much sure it might be Arnav. Today morning, they just talked for nearly five minutes where he informed her regarding his arrival. His voice was reflecting tiredness. She didn't want to bother him much. He needs rest after all.

Khushi: "Can you sleep over tonight..?" She gestured the servants to leave as she will answered the mobile once she make Mahi agree for staying a night here.

Mahi: "Not possible Khushi.. There are a lot of works need to be done..!"

Khushi: "Such as..?"

Mahi: "I will tell you later.. But before that tell me did Bhai leave any message when he returning back..?" Khushi nodded a NO.. She didn't doubt anything as she believe Mahi might miss her brother just like her. "Never mind.. We will talk later, once everything is set and on place.. Now I need to leave and we will meet later.. Send my regards to your Hot Brother.." Khushi laughed so does Mahi. They hugged as Mahi walked out from The Malhotra premise while Khushi rushed towards her bedroom to answer the call of her lover. The man she was missing the most currently.
