OS 2: Finding Khushi
Section 3
Khushi fell from the chair to be caught and held safe against a hard, coat-covered chest by strong arms.
"Arnavji...", she whimpered, looking into unreadable eyes.
"Khushi...", he murmured, his husky voice caressing and trying to soothe her frayed nerves that refused to be soothed.
She pushed against his muscular shoulders, forcing him to loosen his hold on her. She stood on her feet and looked at his impassive face.
"Aap! Who do you think you are..? You...", she lit into him, her longing for him making her furious with him.
"Arnav Singh Raizada.", the voice hid a smile.
"You can't even bother to call me! What did you think? That once I was out of your sight, I was dead to you?", Khushi did not hesitate to air her grievances.
Arnav hid his smile and relished the look of anxiety and anger on her face.
Khushi fumed. "If this is the way you behave when I am gone for 2 weeks, it is good that I didn't go for a month. You would have forgotten that a girl named Khushi Kumari Gupta ever lived!"
"You are the one who insisted on coming to Lucknow.", he said mildly.
"Tho? Couldn't you have said,...Khushi, don't go. Stay with me?... Couldn't you have told me how much it would hurt... How difficult it would be... without seeing you... without..?", Khushi was furious. She pushed him away.
"Without...?", he asked.
"What kind of a man are you? I don't have any experience in such matters, but you should know! You are older than me! You have had girl friends! You should know how much it would hurt!" She caught him by the lapels of his coat and tried to shake him.
Arnav could not control his smile from slipping out.
Khushi had the uncanny ability to kill his self-control.
"Don't smile.", Khushi ordered.
Arnav could not stop smiling.
"Aap ko hasi aa rahi he! When I am dying here." She pushed him away with her hands against his shoulders. "Acha! This is your love, your mohabbat for me, your prem..." Her eyes filled with tears. She pushed him again with all the force she could muster.
She found herself caught by her arms and pulled into his hold. His lips swooped down on hers.
There was silence in the cellar.
A while later, Arnav lifted his head. His lips left hers reluctantly. His arms held her safe and close to him, his heart thudding against hers.
"No. This is my love.", he said. "Do you doubt it?', he asked, rubbing his nose against hers.
Khushi parted her lips to answer, but the fire in his eyes as they rested on her parted lips and the thundering of his heart against hers silenced her.
"How could you leave me alone for a week?", she finally asked in a low voice.
"Do you think it was easy for me, Khushi?", he countered.
Her eyes filled with tears.
"Don't cry. Don't cry, Khushi." He kissed her eye lids and wiped her tears off with his fingers.
Khushi hugged him, burying her face against his neck.
"Don't let me go away from you again.", she ordered in a low tone.
Arnav smiled, rubbing her back, soothing her. "No. Never."
"And if I say I want to go?", she muttered into his neck.
"I will handcuff you to me.", he said, kissing her silky hair, smiling into the dark cloud.
"You are like alcohol.", Khushi declared, tightening her trembling fingers around his lapel.
Arnav raised one eyebrow.
"One sip of you and I am addicted to you.", Khushi frowned at the strange phenomenon, missing the darkening of Arnav's eyes.
The first she knew of his intention was the seductive sweep of his hard, warm lips against her soft, plump ones.
"Return home with me?", Arnav asked.
Khushi nodded happily but then her face fell. "But... Vimala Chachi..."
"I talked to her on the phone. She is OK with it.", Arnav smiled.
Khushi's mouth fell open. "Awww... When did you...?"
"Buaji gave me her number.", he smirked.
"You...you... natkhat...devious... Akhdoo Singh Raizada!", she exclaimed.
"Aashik Singh Raizada...", he murmured into her ear.
Khushi blushed.
The change of Akhdoo Singh Raizada into Aashik Singh Raizada was a remark by my friend, sun_shine_girl. Thank u, darl!
