Chapter 10

Do you really want to leave me?!

When khushi opens her eyes, in the morning...

She meets a pair of chocolate eyes staring at her...

She closes her eyes again...thinking she's just dreaming, but when she opens her eyes again, he was always there...

-Arnavji?

He just touched her forehead and looks at her seriously...

-you're alright!

He confirmed looking at her face and his palm touching her pink cheeks to check again and again her temperature...

-yes! I'm fine!

-all night you were burning and blabbering so many things and we had to bring the doctor again!

Said another voice from behind

-chote was so worried!

Added another voice...

-my darling...

Comes another soft voice...khushi was just looking at Arnav but when she heard so many voices and curious to look at who is there in the room with them, Arnav stands up and gets away...and khushi could see the most darling two persons in her life!

-Angel?...damaji said that you're all sick only because you miss us...is that the reason, bacha?

Her father Shashi asked concerned...

-mumma?...bapuji?

-haan!

-yes, they are here only for you!

Anjeli added looking at her...

Khushi looked and she really saw her father, mother there...Dada and Dadi and the whole family was there looking her direction...

-oh god!

Khushi said extra-surprised...

When she felt the warm hold of her father...she felt her tears falling down...her father cupped her face and kissed her forehead...

-enough crying bacha!

But when Garima hugs her, khushi went on crying the more...

-excuse my bacha...she's still a baby!

Garima said tightening the hold more...

-ohh...

Everyone said getting emotional by that meeting...

-oh...yes...yes aunty! you know when she was blabbering, she kept murmuring mumma, bap...mumma...till chote's heart melts totally and that's why he calls you to come!

Anjeli said and khushi looks at Arnav immediately...

-and that too with his private jet, khushi! imagine your old father flying in the sky! Me with such age...

Shashi said joyfully, khushi turns to smile to him and Dada comes to him and held his shoulder...

-you still young Shashiji...stop this nonsense!

Shashi smiles nodding...

-for my bacha, I would do anything!

Khushi held his hand, still not believing this surprise...

Her parents with her...

She's in between her mother's arms...her father was there holding her hand...

-I told Arnav that there is nothing important to worry about, if khushi ji has fever, we are all here to take care of her, we are here!

Dadi said, feeling it's wrong that Arnav called Khushi's parents just because she's little sick...it wasn't necessary for her because Raizada family could handle a thing like that...

-of course dadi ji, I know that you can take care of my bacha by your own...but, thank you son for making us come and see khushi!

Shashi said looking at his daughter...

-and khushi is now totally fine!

Anjeli said smiling

-would you then come all and have breakfast downstairs?...all is ready!

Dadi asked

-yes, come! Come, you have to eat and then take a rest!

Dada added...

Garima kissed khushi's forehead again and again before cupping her face

-have you the power to walk downstairs?

Khushi nodded...

-yes...I will take just a shower and come mumma!

Garima smiled

-we are waiting for you...my bacha!

All left the room one by one to let khushi prepares herself but Arnav...

He was standing there, enjoying seeing khushi all happy, all surprised...

She's still on the bed...arranging her hair...still not believing that all her family was there just because she wasn't alright...

-bacha...

Arnav said with an amused tone...

Khushi looks at him

-are we better, now?

Khushi smiled lightly and nodded...

-so much better!...thank you...Arnavji...

-you're welcome bacha!

What's that with "bacha"?...

-everything for you!

He added smirking but meaning each word

EVERY THING FOR HER!

-such a good think to see you all happy!...bacha!

Khushi was all the time blushing...

The way he's looking at her with extra-care but also naughtiness...

The way he's talking to her like he knew something about her, she doesn't know...

The way he's choosing to name her "bacha"...it was in a different way...different from the way her parents call her that...

She was about to get up from the bed but he stopped her by a gesture...

-wait!

He said and he just carried her...

Khushi looks at him shocked

-no...Arnavji! What are you doing?

-you still so weak...let me drop you to the bathroom!

-but...I'm totally fine!

Arnav doesn't answer...he just walked carrying her...and she just clutched the collar of his shirt, staring at his face...

When he paused her on the floor...he makes her body touch his completely...

His arms covered her totally...

-don't fall sick ever again!

He said firmly when she finds she's all troubled and shy

-take a warm shower! I'm just waiting outside!

But his arms still there encircling her waist...

He felt that she wants to tell him something, so, he waits...

-what khushi? do you want to speak to me?

She nodded

-what?...you can tell me!

-it's our chance, now!

-our chance?

-yes...I mean they are all here and we could talk to them!

-khushi...I can't believe you're talking about that now!...why khushi?

-because...I can't!

-you can't what?

-spending each moment with you, with the thought that we are not meant to be together!

Arnav looks at her with wide eyes...

He's angry now but trying all his best to keep calm, to keep his voice low...

-I'm not planning to throw you out of my life at any moment khushi, can't you see?...separation is your idea only, remember? And I tried all my best to make you understand that this is not acceptable!...you're my wife!

-I...

-any objection is refused!

He said putting his index on her lips...

He leaned...and kissed her cheek...

Khushi took his index away and pushed him away

-and me I want to leave!

She said walking back...

-excuse me!

-it's me! it's me who wants to leave you! It me who decided so!

Khushi said like a dangerous lioness...it's not about him all the time!

He wants to touch her

-No! no!

-khushi!...I thought you were all weak, you were in my arms yesterday and now you're pushing me away?!

-yes! I can!...I can push you away of all my life!

Khushi wants to push him again but he catches her wrists and pulled her closer to him

-really?

He said it amused because he was sure that she would take back her words any moment!...it's not true, he can see it in her eyes...

-yes really!

That was it for Arnav...he catches her lips this time...roughly, surprising her!

She doesn't wait for this at all

Arnav holds her waist the more to that she couldn't move...

His tongue entering her mouth, dominating the kiss...

Smoothly, his lips chapped, rough and dry... just stuck on her soft ones...

Khushi could feel how warm and demanding his tongue is...she closes her eyes...she closes her eyes tight when she felt his teeth nibbling lightly at her lower lip...

She was all confused and angry...but that sensation doesn't last for so long...

She concentrated now at the passionate way Arnavji was kissing her...

Her very first kiss...

All what they said about a kiss is confirmed...

Yes, she could feel a pain in her stomach, her heart is ready to jump out of her chest and she's all hot...her cheeks are burning...

There is a fire inside her...

Her hands come and hug his neck...

Arnav chooses that moment to cut the kiss...

-show me how you can push me away, khushi?!

She was about to talk but again his lips attacked her lips...

This time, it was all soft...his tongue was just teasing...his lips gently pressing her lips...and their eyes meet...

Out of breath...he just cuts the kiss but he stays there so close...

His forehead resting on her forehead

-do you really want to leave me?

He said against her lips...

Suddenly, they both hear a knock in their door...

-chote!...khushi!...hurry up or else we will start the breakfast without you!

They hear Anjeli voice from outside...

Khushi troubled and blushing furiously...tried to pull back...but he wouldn't let off her...

-Anjeli...

She whispered...

-We are coming Di!

Arnav said out loud...

and looks back at khushi with a dark gaze...
