Chapter 128

[MEMBERSONLY]
[NOCOPY]

Smita,😊

Here is the interpretation to Part 30.

When Arnav walked in after a meeting with his managers, he found Khushi sitting in his cabin, happily munching a jalebi. His, Khushi, was full of surprise and happiness at this unexpected visit from her. She leaned back in her chair crossing her legs and in a matter of fact voice said, that she was not Khushi! But Sant Khushi Maharaj! And to take her name with respect, Arnavji!

Listening to her Arnav frowned thinking what was her latest crazy behavior about? Wanting to know what she was upto he asked, what have you done now Khushi? Khushi was irked and asked him, why was it he always thought that she was upto no good? Arnav knew very well that, answering her query in earnest, would only put him in a spot. After Knowing Khushi and her sanki ways, he was not going to answer her query, lest she slips through his fingers and Finding Khushi would be next to impossible. He wanted the marriage to be held on 15^th itself with His Smiling Girl. He addressing her in his mind thought that Living Without You was not something he was looking forward to and already knowing the ramifications of Burning In Your Love, he was not ready to crucify himself. Changing his tactic, he re-phrased his question and put it in a mild manner, as what happened? Khushi, jumping up from her seat, forgetting her complaint asked him what was it she told him and he would not believe it? Not following what she meant, a perplexed Arnav asked her, what was it she had told him. Trying to recall what was it she meant, with a puzzled frown he thought, Keeping Khushi itself was difficult. Keeping up with Khushi was next to impossible.

Khushi annoyed with Arnav for being so obtuse, accused him that he does not listen to anything she says. When he tried to defend himself she did not allow him to utter a word. Before he could even say a word she told him that Anamikaji and Ganeshji were getting married and asked him with a radiant countenance, wasn't it wonderful? Hearing what she had to say Arnav who had opened his mouth to defend himself was left agape. The news had him dumbfounded. Khushi giggled at his expression and told him that, she had told Anamikaji that he would stare with his mouth open! It made him shut his mouth with a click and ask stupified, do they really want to get married?

Khushi with a frown at his question told him, that they do want to get married. Batting her eyelashes, putting on an innocent face she asked, What did he exactly think of her? That she would force two unwilling people to get married? His muttering, that he knew she, as well as her legion of ladies following her, were capable of doing it, had her scowl and ask, what was it he muttered? She could not catch it properly. Trying to get out of the brewing trouble he hastily replied, nothing, and asked her, when were they getting married? Khushi with a smile told him, that Buaji, Naniji, Mamiji, Anjaliji, and Anamikaji were going to meet the purohit that day to fix the date. When Arnav smiled and said, I see, Khushi asked him what did he see? Drawing a deep breath, exasperated Arnav told her, that he sees Khushi Kumari Gupta had been a good girl. It made her smile happily and Arnav continued to say a very smart girl in a smooth, suave voice. His appreciation made her face beam like a Full Harvest Moon. With his intention glaringly loud and clear, he walked towards her saying, that smart girls deserve to be rewarded making Khushi jump from her seat and vehemently oppose it saying, Arnavji no.. no.. But Arnav moved forward without heeding her words. Khushi took a step backwards towards the glass wall. Blocking her way with his arms on either side with her plastered into the glass wall, his eyes viewed her tremulous lips making her breath hitch. She thanked her Devi Maiyya for giving the support of the wall or else would have collapsed on the floor. As Arnav brought his lips close to her face, Khushi ducked under and slid out, in a matter of second she was at the door and with a gleeful smile told him that she was very smart and chuckling at his loss, she ran down the steps, while Arnav stood looking at her from his cabin with a small unwilling smile on his lips at her antics. At the door she turned back to see that he was watching her with a smile on his face and she, with a smile, wave and jaunty air walked out of the door held open by the guards.

When Anamika reached Ganesh's office, he was pouring over a series of photos on his table with a smile on his face. Hearing the sound of clearing throat, he looked up startled, but seeing Anamika it brought in a smile on his face. Coming towards her, he asked, how did the visit to the purohit go? When the smiling Anamika told him that the nearest auspicious date was 15^th Ganesh told her, that it was fine by him if she was okay with it. She smiled while saying that it was ASR and Khushi's wedding day. Listening to it Ganesh told her, then it would be better to marry on a different day as he didn't want to steal their show. Anamika told him that she tried to convince them of the same but.. And Ganesh completed it with a smile saying, that Buaji and the others would not hear about it. Anamika with a sigh told him, that they want it to be a double wedding and at RM itself, either one after the other or simultaneously in two mandaps. The choice was left to them. Ganesh, removing his glass and placing it on the table, asked her, whether she was sure that Khushi and ASR would not mind. Recalling Khushi's reaction, she smiled and said that Khushi could not contain her joy and called ASR and got his consent. Ganesh too smiled, thinking how Khushi would have reacted and said that it looked like 15^th would be the day. Anamika too laughed and agreed saying it seems to be so.

Once the laughter died down, he asked, whether she was fine with the choice or does she want something else? Anamika was quick to say, that she too liked it and it was good to be surrounded by people who have their happiness at heart. Ganesh nodded his support at her line of thought. When Anamika asked him, whether he was happy with it, he beamed and said, that it was perfect. Anamika paced upto him and hugged him tight. Ganesh was helpless. He just kept his hands to himself drawing in a deep breath. Resting her whole body against his, she rubbed her face against his chest, just like a purring cat. Inhaling his sandalwood fragrance she whispered in pleasure and contentment, that he smells very nice. Ganesh was consumed by nervousness knowing he could not jeopardise her sense of comfort at touching him. Her fingers that moved in soft caress on his strong muscular back was taking a toll on his self control. Ganesh moving back to rest against his table, clutched its edges in desperation to get himself some sort of grip on his self control that was rapidly careening out of control. Anamika unaware of the havoc caused by her handiwork continued with her innocent assault on his senses. Running her fingers along his chest she whispered, he does daily workout does not he? Ganesh could just nod. He just could not speak and he felt he had a frog in his throat. He just inhaled the flowery fragrance of her hair and watched her taking rapid breaths with fascination. Fingering the first button she asked timidly, can I. Ganesh though felt himself sweating whispered, that she could do anything she liked but just lock the door first. Anamika quickly complied with his request to lock and returned to him. Ganesh knew it was an acid test on his self-control. He had given her full right to do as she pleases but had promised that he would not touch her. Banking on his determination not to give in to his pleasure, he clutched the edge of the table. Slipping the first button off she looked at him hesitantly as though seeking his approval. With a hint of a smile from Ganesh she unbuttoned his shirt. Its edges flapped at the wind coming from the window like the sails of a boat at the gust of wind. Her hesitant, shall I, sought his permission in fear, unsure of the response. Ganesh mustering his strength, in a wheezy voice told her that he was hers. So was his body. She could do as she pleases. Her hesitant, whether he minds her touching him made him say bluntly yet truthfully, that he loved it. Anamika feeling that he was with her and gaining confidence from this knowledge gave a joyful smile and leaning on him pulled off his shirt and all the time savoring the touch of his skin. Ganesh shuddered in this unexpected bout of pleasure. She gasped to see his well toned abdomen that looked as though sculpted out of stone. Running her appreciative soft finger tips along the planes, she murmured, that he was strong and warm. Ganesh thought the word was hot as he felt that he was burning up. Placing her palm over his heart she felt it thundering, just like a water fall, with rapid beats that were rhythmic, fast and loud. She looked up at him in wonder. A wisp of a smile danced on his lips. His fingers clutched at the table in a strangle hold and his every sinew was strained. Unaware of the storm her action had brewed, Anamika lifted her hand off his chest, and placing it on her heart whispered wonderingly, that her heart was also beating as fast as his! It made Ganesh nod and say, that was what his presence does to her and her presence does to him.

This update is about extreme surprise or shock. It is about being overwhelmed with astonishment. Hence it is titled THUNDERSTRUCK.

When Arnav sees Khushi in his office munching jalebi nonchalantly, his happiness knew no bounds. He was not aware of the thunderbolts that were to be unleashed on him. In his happiness, he calls her, Khushi, with his heartfelt love poured in, but gets a Not Khushi. Sant Khushi Maharaj! Take my name with izzat, Arnavji in return! He is extremely surprised and this makes him frown and ask what she was upto, irking her with his suspicion. When she voices it out, not wanting to tip the balance, he changes his query from, What have you done now, Khushi? to What happened? Khushi not being the one to carry coals to New Castle, asked him enigmatically, Arnavji, you won't believe this! What did I tell you? Not understanding what she was asking, when he asks what was it, she throws a thunderbolt that Anamika and Ganesh are getting married. When he is flummoxed, stunned beyond words and agape, she throws in another thunder bolt saying, that she had told them this news would leave him open-mouthed, making him thunderstruck. Arnav once recovered from this stunning news acknowledges Khushi to be a good and a smart girl, making her swell with pride. Walking towards her saying, smart girls deserve to be rewarded, gives her a clear picture of what is to come. Eventhough she had backed herself to the glass wall with his arms placed on either side on the wall, as he comes close to her, she ducks. Before Arnav is aware of what was happening, in a quick move reaches the door. She once again throws him off balance and overwhelms him with astonishment. Showing her enjoyment with her jaunty air, smile and wave she makes Arnav unwillingly acknowledge, she being very smart. All he could do was give an unwilling smile. Earlier the same Khushi would have been flustered and rooted to the ground. But now with the confidence she has gained from the tutoring of Arnav as well as Anamika, she is in a different league all together. It was a day of where Arnav was thunderstruck.

"You can break down a real woman temporarily but a real woman will always pick up the pieces, rebuild herself and come back even stronger than ever"

When Anamika came to the studio, Ganesh who was engrossed in his work was startled. When Anamika told him that their wedding day falls on the same day as that of ASR and Khushi they do not want to steal the thunder from the other couple. They are unable to change because the entire family wants it to be on the same day and at RM itself. They want it to be a double wedding either conducted simultaneously or one after the other. They are extremely surprised at this development and are given the taste of being a part of a close-knit family. Ganesh is overwhelmed with astonishment when he hears both Khushi and ASR are for it. Ganesh who had thought ASR as a stubborn ass, and Anamika, the family as a fitting punishment for his arrogant ways, are now aware, that even their eccentric ways are nothing in front of the love they shower upon others. This realization was a shock and had them astonished.

"Sometimes we need to see the bad side, to appreciate the good side"

~ Anthony Liccione

When Anamika hugs him tight, Ganesh gets another thunderbolt. She who had abhorred touching, now had willingly started to touch him as though fascinated by it. She takes up on his offer of having a free rein without being overwhelmed by the fear of being touched. She, in her innocent way, challenges his self-control and gives him extreme suprise as well as shock. By touching his bare torso she makes him aware that, the days to come would be an acid test to his determination and will power, until Anamika gets used to touching and being touched.This was a thunder bolt for him.

Feeling his heart beat in the same speed as hers, has Anamika overwhelmed with astonishment. This makes Ganesh say when close by, their hearts beat in sync and it beats for one another. (Reminds me of Holi episode)

That's why it is THUNDERSTRUCK.

That's it from me. Hope you enjoy it.
