Chapter 34
He takes a step towards her while Khushi started backing away with each step he took forward. Finally her back collided with the closed French doors and now she had nowhere to go as Arnav was only few inches away from her. She was about to move aside when Arnav quickly placed his hands on either side of her with his arms trapping her against his body.
Khushi look up in his eyes and just that innocence in her green eyes melted his fury into ashes and turns it into something else. His nostrils were getting filled with her flowery scent.
she always smells like fresh flowers with morning dew, he noted.
He looked down and noted her reddish pink lips that were slightly quivering and her cheeks were getting flushed by every passing second.
Khushi was standing still trapped in his arms; she could feel the warmth of his body. Khushi had lowered her eyes when she saw him looking at her lips. Her eyes came in contact with his exposing chest and she stare at it shamelessly, her mind going back to the night when she had touched him ... feel him with her hands.
Arnav saw her looking at his chest and he smirked inwardly thinking that she must be remembering the previous night.
"I think I told you ...(pause)... that if you disobey me again ... (he pause again and Khushi looked up in his eyes) ... the punishment will be one step ahead", said Arnav leaning in close to her face and Khushi saw his eyes getting dark.
"Didn't I? .. huh Khushi?", said Arnav looking at her lips now.
Arnav was so close to her face that she could feels his minty breath on her lips and her mind went to the thought of him kissing her. She involuntary moves her tongue on her upper lip making it wet. Arnav's eyes burn high with desire when he watched her wetting her lip and he felt all his control break loose and he leans in placing his lips on her.
The first contact was electrifying for both of them and they got still for a moment ...
doing nothing ...
thinking nothing ...
just feeling ...
feeling each other's first intimate touch ...
so soft ...
yet robust ...
Khushi places her hands on his expose chest; he groaned at her touch and captures her lower lip between his lips sucking on it. Khushi felt like a jolt passing through her body and she grip his shirt into her both fist. Arnav hold Khushi by her waist with his right hand and his left hand went up to her face and cupped her side tilting her head little upward to get entrance in her mouth. After sucking her lower lip for a minute or two, he left it and captures her upper lip and starts sucking on it. Khushi's mind and heart both went into frenzy. She had never felt this way in her life before ... HELL ... she had never been kissed by anyone before, it was her first time and she could not help but admit that she likes it ... she likes his lips against hers and whatever thing he was doing with them.
After few seconds Arnav pulled away and a disappointed moan escaped from Khushi's throat at the disconnection of his lips. Both of them were breathing hard and their hearts were thudding on high speed against their ribs. When he heard her moan he swooped down again with hunger and capture her lips again, Khushi gasped at the sudden possessiveness giving Arnav the way to enter her mouth and he did ... by plunging his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her for the first time.
Khushi felt like fireworks bursting inside her when his tongue touches hers. Khushi's trailed her hands over his chest up to his neck, and locking them around his neck. Arnav move his both hands at Khushi's back pulling her more into him.
Arnav glides his tongue inside her mouth unlocking her hidden treasure ... her sweetest nectar, he felt so heavenly as he tasted her. He had kissed many girls before but not like this possessiveness with which he was doing with Khushi and no one had tasted that natural, that blissful ... like Khushi does.
She tasted so sweet, so tender ... so much like honey, he thought.
He touches her tongue with his and sucks on it taking her nectar in his mouth.
If Arnav was feeling blissful by tasting her then Khushi was also not behind in this ... she too get a taste of him and that brought ecstasy over her being.
Mmm he tastes like fresh mint with the hint of coffee, Khushi mentally noted.
He sucked her tongue with hunger as if he was not getting enough of its taste ... no her taste actually.
Khushi let a satisfied moan escape her mouth feeling blissful by his perfect kiss. Hearing her moan Arnav tilted his head a little to side and thrusts his tongue deeper tasting every nook and corner of her delicious mouth. Though Khushi did nothing, just stand there allowing Arnav to do everything but her moans signal Arnav of her response to his kiss that she is enjoying it too ... as much as he was.
God knows how many seconds or even minutes pass away when Arnav finally pulled back at the lack of oxygen, both were panting. Arnav places his forehead against her and try to regulate his breathing. Both had their eyes close, no one want to pull away from each other bodies. After few seconds Arnav open his eyes and saw red blushing Khushi with her eyes close her breathing getting to normal.
"its something ... isn't it", said Arnav panting a little and Khushi slowly open her eyes to look into his smoldering brown eyes. She was still feeling numb from his kiss.
"Again Miss Gupta ... if you disobey me again ... the punishment would be another step ahead ... (Khushi eyes widened at that) ... got it? ... huh?" said Arnav and move his hand downward lightly squeeze her bottom.
"Arnavji..." Khushi exclaimed loudly feeling scandalize at his bold touch. Arnav smirked looking at her stunned expression. Khushi put her hands on his chest and pushed him away and run from there before anymore embarrass thing could happen.
Arnav saw her running and then out of his room. He sighed loudly and places his both hands again on French doors closing his eyes. His mind going back to the kiss he just shared with Khushi. He decided that it was something he can't let go that easily, the blissful feeling he felt when he kissed her was so different. It was no ordinary kiss it was much more deeper. If that is the case by just kissing her then what would be the feeling when he will do much more ... with the very thought he felt himself getting hard lower. He open his eyes and turn around to go to washroom, he defiantly needs a cold shower now.
Khushi run to her room and close the door leaning against it, her heart still beating very fast. She places her hand on her chest in order to calm down her heart but it was useless. Her mind went back to his scorching kiss that had made her body went on fire. She still feels heated up. She went to washroom looked up in the mirror and see her lips with red tinge ... clearly indicating that they have been thoroughly kissed. She opens the cold water tap. She splashed cold water on her face to cool it down. She remember the same incident happen in office when she got her first punishment from Arnav, she felt same heated then but this time ... it was much more deeper.
Her second punishment was something that had never happened to her before; she had been kissed before in her college but those were only small pecks on cheeks when she dated only those 2 guys and later by NK. But what she had just shared with Arnav was something else but it was so blissful she thought. She felt embarrassed with her thought, how she will face Arnav now, she thought again.
"Again Miss Gupta ... if you disobey me again ... the punishment would be another step ahead"
Arnav's word echoed in her head, and she felt somewhat scared of thinking the next punishment. The way he had touched on her bottom. Her mind imagining more wild intimate things that could happen, she gasps at her own thoughts and felt some tingling feeling inside her body. She felt her cheeks burning so does her body. She defiantly needs a cold shower now; she thought and went towards the shower cubicle.
-------------------- Around 8.00pm ... in Anjali's Room ...
Anjali was talking to sleeping Arush, "baby you know ... today your papa played Holi with me ... After so many years ...(sighed Anjali thinking about old days) ... I have seen that look in his eyes ... that mischievous look when he was about to color me when we were kids ... I am so happy ... and you know this is all because of your Khuuyii ... (Anjali giggle at the name and caresses Arush's hair) ... you are so right baby ... she is our pari", said Anjali ...
"Whos your pari", said Rahul who just entered her room to call her for dinner.
"Rahul ...", said Anjali happily and he came and sit beside her on bed. "Khushi ... she is our Pari", said Anjali looking at Sleeping Arush while holding Rahul's hand.
"ok ... am I missing something here?", asked Rahul. Anjali looks up at him and tell him how she always tells Arush a story about an angle and devil and like them one day an angle will come in his life and make everything ok.
"And since Khushi has come ... I have seen a change in Chottey ... Rahul ... I have a doubt first but now after what happened I am sure that Khushi is the one who will bring Happiness in my Chottey's life and bring him out of darkness", said Anjali with hopeful eyes.
And Rahul couldn't help but agree on that he too see some changes in Arnav but he didn't give much thought to this before.
"May be it was in a moment thing Anjii ... Khushi hides his mobile and he went after her that's it", said Rahul not wanted Anjali to have false hopes like before.
"No ... its not just in the moment thingy ... ok (she gives him a stern look) if it was then why Chottey put color on Khushi and why didn't he get angry when she put color on him second time ... whenever we had try to force him to come out and play holi with us in past he just get angry on us ... he even blasted poor Akash too when he put color on him once ... and today he didn't even get angry on Khushi for putting colors on him... Can you explain that??", said Anjali. Rahul was quite thinking on what Anjali had said.
"And I know Chottey feels something for Khushi ... its just that I don't know how strong that feeling is?", said Anjali ...
"How can you say that??", asked Rahul.
"I just know it ... ok ... and I will prove it to you ... just observe Chottey and Khushi for a while", said Anjali.
"Hmm .. ok as you say my lady ... now come ... dinner is ready", said Rahul and gets up. Anjali adjusted the baby monitor and went out with Rahul.
-------------------- @ Dinner table ...
Everyone was settling down on the dining table for dinner Khushi came out with HP with dinner dishes and starts placing it on the table. Aman and Lavanya went to their home after the evening tea.
Just then Arnav came and Khushi looked up at him and their kiss encounter came in her mind, she blush hard at the thought. Arnav saw the red color raising her cheeks, he smirk thinking the same about kiss. Khushi quickly averted her eyes and started serving the food to Nani.
"Bitya kitni bar kha ha k ap yeh na kia kijiye (Bitya How many time i have told you not to do this) ...", said Nani softly looking at Khushi.
"Kion ... hum kion nahi ker sakhtey ... humain acha lagta hai Naniji yeh sub kerna (Why ... why cant i do this ... i like doing this Naniji)", said Khushi with a smile.
"Khushi bitya .. eh kaa ... you didn't wash ur facezz", said Mamiji looking at Khushi. "ap k gaal toh abh tuk laal lagat hain". (Khushi Bitya ... whats this ... you didnt wash your face ... you cheeks still seems red)
Khushi touches her cheek and said, "No, Aunty ji I did wash my face ...".
"Acha ... phir I guezz you finally starts using makeupwa ... blsuhooon lagaya ka? (OK ... then i guess you finally starts using makeup ... you use blush-on?)". Said Mami and Anjali shakes her head ... Mami its Blush-on not blushoon", Anjali corrected her .. "Arey wohi Bitya", said Mami.
"Nahi ... Aunty I didn't use Blush-on", said Khushi getting embarrassed, she knew that her cheeks would be red like always when she blush due to shyness. Just then she meet Arnav's eye and to her horrors Arnav winked at her. Khushi gasp and her hands trembles at that and plate was about to slip from her hand.
"Careful Khushi", said Arnav immediately and everyone look at Arnav and Khushi.
"Bitya araam se", said Nani. Khushi nods her head and again look at Arnav who was now smirking wide, and this didn't go unnoticed by Anjali. She taps her foot with Rahul who was sitting next to her, he looks up at her and Anjali gesture her head towards Arnav and look at Khushi. Rahul understands her signal and he too started to observe Arnav and Khushi.
Soon everyone engaged into small talks and had their dinner. Throughout the dinner Khushi peeks up at Arnav and he too at the same time looks at Khushi. Khushi quickly lower her eyes down and smile played across Arnav's lips. Rahul and Anjali though busy in conversation but they also notice the glance exchange between the two.
After dinner they all went to living room for chit chat. Soon Arnav, Akash and Mama ji started talking about business and Nani retired to her room after a while. Mamiji was talking with Anjali and Khushi. Rahul was sitting with Anjali listen to her conversation but in reality he was observing Khushi and Arnav and he had seen Arnav and Khushi steal glancing towards each other every now and then. He was sure now that there is defiantly "something" between the two, and they had to found out at what extent that "something" is?
-------------------- Around 10.00pm ...
Mamaji and Mamiji had gone to their room a while ago. Arnav and Akash went to study to discuss something about business. Khushi went with Anjali and Rahul to her room as she want to spend some time with Arush before she go to sleep. Khushi adjusted the pillows on Arush side, he was still sleeping. Khushi was sitting beside him on the bed and just admiring him.
Rahul gets up and said goodbye to them as he wanted to leave, Anjali went with him to the door.
Rahul stops and grab her hand and whisper, "Anji you are right ... they do feel something for each other ... they both cant take their eyes off each other". Rahul chuckled at that.
"Hain na?? .. I saw it too... but how we know how much they feel for each other", said Anjali excitedly.
"you know I was thinking ... jealousy always work in taking out ones feeling", said Rahul with a thinking expression ..
"you think we should make Khushi jealous or Arnav ?", asked Anjali in low voice so that Khushi could not hear them
"both ...", said Rahul ... "But one at a time ok..".
"So how we make then jealous", asked Anjali.
"hmm you remember sonali?", asked Rahul .. Anjali thought for a while then angry expression came on her face.
"that stupid .. ugly assistant of yours who always try to come close to you ..that Bit**h", said Anjali in anger.
"woowhh .. easy on the words my lady ...", said Rahul getting surprise on her anger.
"well she isn't use to come close to her ... I asked her to pretend that", said Rahul cheekily. "I was not getting any response from you so I thought to make you jealous, wanted to know if it works and it did. When she started to come close to me ... you started to show your feelings towards me ... and see now you are with me", said Rahul and grab both her hands.
"oh you ... (Anjali hit him on the chest) .. you all did that to make me jealous", Anjali got angry and turn away from him.
"well it was worth it ... Because in return I got you .. my love", said Rahul and hug her from behind.
Anjali turn towards him and hug him."Ok now I have to go ... I think you know what to do ...", said Rahul breaking the hug.
"I will think of something", said Anjali giving a smile.
"good .. and yeah ... take it slow ... its Arnav Singh Raizada we are talking about ok ...", said Rahul and kiss her forehead and leave from there.
Khushi have seen their mutual hug and forehead kiss, she was in awe of them as they both look adorable together. Anjali turn and saw Khushi giving her a smile. Anjali went towards the bed thinking does Khushi listen to their conversation or not.
"Anjali ji .. you and Rahul ji look perfect together", Khushi praised their Jodi. Anjali smile at that, "Thank you Khushi".
"Anjali ji can I ask you something?", said Khushi fidgeting with her dupatta. "Yes Khushi .. you can ask me anything ... you know", said Anjali thinking that Khushi might ask her something about Arnav.
"How you know that it was love ... I . I mean when you know that you're in love with Rahul ji", asked Khushi.
Anjali was surprise at her question but looking at her nervous form she realize that she must be thinking about Arnav and Love... "hmm toh yeh baat hai", thought Anjali and smile.
"Khushi pyar soch ker thotri kia jata hai ... wo toh bus (Khushi love dont happen by thinking ... it just happens) (Anjali pause thinking about her and Rahul) ho jata hai", said Anjali.
"When I first met him nothing much happened, but when time passes and we meet occasionally I started to feel a pull towards him ... it was like something strong was pulling me towards him (at that Khushi thought about Arnav ... how every time she meet him she too feel something was pulling her towards him) ... When he went abroad and I couldn't get to talk to him for few days and in those few days I was worried about him too much whether he was alright or not ... if it was in my hands I would have flown to him and hug him tight (Khushi mind when to the days when Arnav went to Goa without telling anyone and how much she was worried about him, she was feeling the same that she just wanted to hear him to know that he is alright) When some other woman gets close to him I feel like hitting that woman even if that woman was his friend or not. (Khushi mind went to the Photoshoot day when Lisa was all hugging and pecking Arnav ... she hated that too) ..And whatever I do I use to think about him, even today (Anjali Blushes) I mostly think about him. And when he is not around I miss him so much (At that Khushi thought about the days when she injured her foot and came to RM, she didn't see Arnav for 4, 5 days and how much she was missing him and craving his one look). And most importantly you want to take all sorrows of that person and want to give all your happiness to him. You will do anything to see your love happy. (Khushi thought how every time she see Arnav nervous or cut out from the world she just wanted to bring happiness to him).", Anjali finish telling her and look at Khushi who was lost in her own thoughts.
"Kia ap bhi pyar kerti hain kisi se .. hain Khushi?? (Do you also love someone ... Khushi?) ", said Anjali putting her hand on Khushi's shoulder.
Khushi came out of her thought, "Nahi .. Anjali ji hum ne toh aisey hi pocha (No ... Anjali ji i ask just like that) ", said Khushi while fidegeting her dupatta.
"Acha hum chaltey hein ... raat bhut ho gayi hai (ok i leave now ... its late)", said Khushi and left the room. Anjali clapped her hand together and smile broadly ... "Chahey ju bhi kaho ... pyar toh hai (Whatever is said ... definitely its LOVE)", said Anjali and pick the baby monitor from the bed and went out of the room ... she went to Nani's room to see if she is awake and carry out the plan.
Luckily Nani was wake and Anjali caught her in the kitchen, she didn't waste a single second in telling her what she had been observing about Arnav and Khushi. To say Nani was happy would be an understatement, she was very delighted that finally her Chottey is showing that much interest in some girl. But still she was somewhere worried that whether it turns out to be "too good to be true". Then Anjali tell her what Rahul told them and both went to the living room and started to think what they should do so that they can confirm their feelings for each other.
Arnav was trying to work on the laptop but his mind was going back to the kiss again and again, he was feeling good and irritated at the same time.
Good ... that finally he had taken a step forward and Khushi also reciprocate it.
Irritated ... because he couldn't think of any other think beside their kiss and his mind then went on his mental drive towards wild imaginings he had been having about Khushi since he had seen her in that black sexy sari.
Suddenly he was feeling hot when those thought came in his mind ... He curses those images and look for water. His jug was empty so he went out of room to drink cool water to calm down his demanding nerves.
Anjali was thinking when she saw Arnav coming down the stairs. Nani was sitting on sofa with her back to the stairs and Anjali was sitting facing Nani when she saw Arnav coming down she quickly turn away, her back towards stairs now. Just then an idea came in her mind and she quickly addresses Nani.
"Nani ... ap ko Khushi kaisi lagti hai? (Nani .. how do you like Khushi?)", Anjali asked Nani ..
Nani looked at her ..."Bitya ap ko bataya toh ..(Bitya ... i just told you ...)", Nani was about to say when Anjali press her hand and gesture to Nani with her eyes towards the stairs. Nani understood her gesture after all she was the elder Raizada.
"Hum ko toh Khushi Bitya bhut pasand hai (i like Khushi bitya very much)", said Nani with little loud voice.
Arnav who was near the bottom of the stairs stop listening to Nani's sentence.
"Acha Nani .. (Anjali pretenede to be super excited) ... Mujey bhi ... aur ap ne dekha Arush bhi Khushi se kitna gul mil gaya hai (Really Nani .. me too ... and did you see how comfortable Arush is with Khushi)", said Anjali.
Arnav who was listening to all this went down the stairs thinking that they are just normally talking about Khushi. Just then the next sentence of Anjali made his feet rooted to the spot.
"Ager Khushi hamesha k liye iss gher mein ajaye toh?? (If Khushi come in this house for forever?)", said Anjali .. seeing Arnav through the corner of her eyes.
"Such ... yeh toh bhut hi bhatrhiya baat hai ... per kaise? (Really ... it will be a really good thing ... but how?)", said Nani also peeping to see Arnav's stiff form.
"Chottey toh shadi karain gey nahi ... Kion na Akash aur Khushiii ...(Chottey wont get married .. so why not Akash and Khushi ... )" Anjali left her sentence in complete.
Arnav turn in a jerk toward her his hand going in a fist, anger started to build.
"kia ... Akash aur Khushi ..." said Nani dramatically.
"Haan Nani ... Akash aur Khushi ki shaadi hojaye gi toh Khushi hamesha k liye is gher mein ajaye gi aur phir Arush to Khushi k roop mein maa bhi mil jaye gi ... merit oh chitna hi khatum ho jaye gi (yes Nani ... If Akash and Khushi got married then Khushi will come in this house for forever and Arush will also get a mother in form of Khushi ... my worry will end)", said Anjali quickly.
"bhut acha khayal hai but kia Akash aur Khushi bitya maan jayein gey? (Its a very good idea ... But will Akash and Khushi agree on this?)", said Nani.
"Arey Nani ... Akash ka toh masla hi nahi ... Khushi hai hi itni piyar k koi usko piyar kiye bagair reh hi nahi sakhta.. aur rahi baat Khushi kit oh kal poch lein gey na uss see (Oh Nani ... its not a problem of Akash ... Khushi is beautiful that no one can resist loving her ... and about Khushi .. so we can ask her tomorrow) ", said Anjali.
Arnav had enough of the conversation ... he storm back to his room. Nani and Anjali look up the stairs and giggled seeing Angry Arnav going to his room.
"Dekha Nani .. Chottey ko kaise gussa gaya ...(Did you see Nani ... how much angry Chottey get)", said Anjali smiling.
"Haan bitya ... Chottey pasand toh karat hai Khushi Bitya ko but bolain gey nahi (yes bitya ... Chottey do like Khushi bitya but he would never say it)", said Nani.
"Fiqar not Nani ... abh toh zaroor bolain gey (dont worry Nani ... he will definitely say it now)", said Anjali ... unkown to the fact that she had given a push to dangerous raging storm coming their way.
-------------------------------
Meanwhile ... Khushi was lying on her bed, twisting her OM locket in her hand and thinking about what Anjali had said about love.
"Do I really love Arnav ji??" , she thought. The words were coming back to her.
Do I feel the pull towards him? ... YES
Do I get worried about him? ... YES
Do I miss him? ... YES
Do I think about him? ... YES
ALL the time ?? ... NO .. but mostly ... YES
Do I hate it when someone else come close to him? ... YES YES
Do I want to see him Happy? ... YES
Do I want to take all his sorrows? ... YES
So that means ... I love him ... YESSS
Khushi eyes widened at the revelation that her heart had made.
OMG ... I am in love ... Khushi put her hand on her mouth ... I am in Love with Arnav ji ... she giggled thinking about it...
Oh my .. I am in love with Arnav Singh Raizada ... Khushi thought about there kiss ... Does he love me too? He kissed me right ... so he might love me too ... Oh my god .. what should I do now ...
All of sudden she was feeling nervous ... should I askd him ... Nahi nahi .. pagal hai kia .. pitna hai tune ... Khushi said to herself ... then how will I know .. Khushi thought for a while ...
Yeah NK ... I will tell him .. he will surely help me with that ... Khushi was happy at her solution ... she kiss her OM locket and close her eyes only thinking about HIM ...
-------------------------------
Arnav storm into his room banged the door behind him...
Khushi and Akash ..., the mere thought of it was making Arnav mad...
No ... Khushi is mine ... she can't be with someone else, Arnav started to pace his room.
Only I had the right on her ... only I can touch her ... only i can kiss her ... she can only be with me... his mind was screaming...
i wont let that happen what they are thinking .. NOOO ... it can never happen ... Arnav thought angrily and push the things on ground from his dressing table ... he was so angry that he couldn't control it ... he was shaking thinking about it ...
On one side LOVE has finally started to bloom ... and on the other side a raging storm was building, ready to destroy whatever come in its way ...
