Chapter 107

Khushi made him close his eyes before entering the pent house. She takes him to the place between dining area and living room. With closed eyes Arnav felt the lights getting switched on.

Khushi quickly came back to him and stood beside him. She doesn't want to miss his reaction and expressions about the makeover of this place. She lean a bit towards his ear and whispered, "Now open your eyes".

Arnav opened his eyes slowly and for a second he couldn't comprehend where he is.

"Surprise!!", exclaimed Khushi gesturing with her hand towards the living area.

Arnav's eyes widened as realization dawned on him, "What the hell". He was totally baffled seeing the colorful interiors in front of him.

Khushi move ahead and stood 2-3 feet opposite to him, "So Arnavji ... how do you like my surprise?".

"Surprise?", asked Arnav still in shock.

"Yeah my surprise, the complete makeover of this place", said Khushi as she give a look around.

"It will be our little home, away from home", said Khushi softly.

Arnav look at Khushi, his eyes held many questions ... Why? What's the reason? What was the need? Why THIS place? Why not any other place? What was Khushi thinking? Why Aman didn't inform him? They both know what this place held for him.

Khushi started to feel nervous, seeing his scrutinizing gaze on her.

"Why?", Arnav only manage to utter a single word.

Khushi took a deep breath and move near him; she has to explain him, her reason ... her point of view.

"Two reasons", said Khushi as she takes hold of his hand and enclosed it in hers. Arnav looked curiously at her beautiful hazel green eyes.

"First reason is; I want a place of our own, close to Shantivan. Remember when we went to farm house last time and Arush got hurt and then our fight. I don't want it to happen again. This place is only 20-25 mins away from Shantivan. In case of emergency we can rush home in few minutes instead of an hour. When I was thinking of why can't we have a place near our home where we can go if we want to spend some private time? This (Khushi gesture with her eyes around) place came in my mind. I talked to Aman ... but he was against it as you hate this place.",

Khushi left his hand and then cupped his face in her hands, "I know this place hold some good and some bad memories for you and reminds you of your past. I want to remove those memories ... those things from your mind. This place has seen your earlier success days ... the celebration of getting new deals and project ... this place has seen AR rising above, you working hard, your struggles and sweat ... and I want this place to remain a part of AR, a part of you, because I know somewhere in your heart there is a fondness for this place and it has been a part of your life. But now this place will be ours now, it will once again see the success of AR but more than that it will see our bond ... Your love for me, my love for you. I want to make new memories of us here ... I want to chase away very single dark thought still lingering in your mind and heart regarding your past. That's the second reason; I will turn every single place or space of darkness lurking around your surroundings into light. And this is my first step towards diminishing the dark walls of your past. Soon there will be only light here (Khushi tap on his chest above heart) and in your life. After tonight, whenever you step in this place, it will speak of our moments, our love and hold our presence.", said Khushi as her eyes shone with love for her man.

Arnav eyes got moist and he felt a lump forming up in his throat due to over whelming emotions. No one had ever gone that far to bring happiness and light in his life. No one had done that much efforts and thinking to chase away his demons. His Di and family did tried but always keeping a feet distance from him, scared of his temper and rudeness, fearing his reaction due to too much involvement in his life. But Khushi hasn't thought any of this and just barge in to the depth of his heart and soul, filled his entire being with her love and warmness.

Arnav pulls her into him and hug her tight. Khushi knew he can't explain his feelings in words, she rubs his back and squeeze his waist, letting him know that she understands.

They pull back after few seconds, Khushi knew how hard it is for him to express his feelings so she give him a bright smile and grab his hand, "Come ... let me show you Khushi Gupta's flair"

"This, as you can see is our living room", said Khushi gesturing towards area, towards their right, adorned with artistic paintings, pale pink sofas with colorful cushions, and a glass center table with big multicolored bowls on it.

This time Arnav carefully looked at the interiors and chuckled a bit, yes it is indeed Khushi's flair.

Khushi then make him turned towards their left, "This is our dining table and that (gesturing towards the corner wall) is sitting area".

Arnav notice that now there is no balcony but a big two floor to ceiling windows with white and pink curtains on it.

Khushi then take him inside the kitchen, which is giving a feel of nature with its green tiles and few pot plants, "Our Kitchen", exclaimed Khushi.

Arnav noticed the endearment of 'OUR' Khushi was using with everything. It filled him with warmth that now everything is not only HIS or HER but THEIRS.

"Now let me show you the bedrooms", said Khushi and then take him towards corridor, parallel to living room.

They enter the room to their left, which was a small bedroom, "This will be for our guest or may be Aman and Lavanyaji can use it if they want to crash here".

There was a queen size bed with multicolor quilt, few pictured on the wall and 3 colored cushions on the floor. The bathroom and cupboard was towards left side.

"Its nice", said Arnav as he saw expectant eyes of Khushi on him, waiting for his comments.

Khushi nods her head and then take him to other bedroom, which is at the end of corridor, "This will be ours bedroom", said Khushi as they entered.

"Khushi don't you know think it's too much colorful", said Arnav looking around with cautious expression ... this colorful environment is so far away from his taste.

He shudders to think, what his associates will say when they look at his bedroom. Leave the associates asides, his Di, Akash, Jiju and others will be shocked to look at this ... the only person who would be happy .. will be his Mamiji. And the teasing will follow suit.

"What you mean too much colorful?", said Khushi as she turned to him with her hands over her waist, "Do you want it like your bedroom at Shantivan? That all black & white which looks like a boring age old time film", remark Khushi.

Arnav look at her with surprise, "My room is boring?".

"Yes it is ... the only good thing about your room in the pool and your garden", said Khushi folding her hands over her front, "If it was in my hands I would have done a makeover of your room as well".

Arnav give her a horrified look as his mind conjured up his bedroom in colorful cushions and recliner and artistic paintings.

"Oh no no ... my room is perfect as it is", said Arnav shaking his head.

"I knew you would say this, so I made this place exactly like I wanted, because I knew I would never get the chance to decorate your room", said Khushi pouting.

The sad look on her face made him think, does she really wants to change his room. Obviously she would have thought of some changes, after all its going to be her room as well after marriage. Before he could say or question her about it, he felt Khushi pulling his arm,

"Come, now I will show you the best part", said Khushi and took him up stairs.

They came to the first landing; the area in front has a rug with 3 big cushions on it.

"Your office key was with you, so we couldn't touch that room", said Khushi, "If you allow, then in future I will re-decorate your office as well".

"I don't think there is a need for that ... I was thinking to shift my things down in my cabin ... you can use that room for something else", said Arnav.

"But still we need a workplace here, a study room may be, where you or Aman can work", suggested Khushi.

"As you wish", said Arnav shrugging his shoulders.

"Ok come now", said Khushi and took him up to rooftop.

"Tada ... this will be our private spot", said Khushi gesturing towards the sitting area.

Arnav give an appreciative nod to Khushi, the place was calm and cozy with light breeze around and he liked it.

Arnav raise his eyebrow seeing 2 glasses of red wine place over a big wooden crate and look at Khushi questioningly. Khushi move ahead and made herself comfortable against the soft cushions.

"I thought, we can have our dinner here", said Khushi patting the place next to her. Arnav smiles at her and sit beside her. Khushi showed him the shopper of food.

"I got our food while coming here", said Khushi as she put down the vase and two candles down on floor.

She opens the boxes and put the food on plates. A small veg pizza, Alfredo pasta in white sauce, few garlic breads and few pieces of cheese bread sticks and potato wedges.

They both relish their food as they indulge in easy conversation about the wedding, their family and friends. Khushi told him that her Dadi and relatives will be here tomorrow evening. She thanked Arnav for all the arrangements he had made for her relatives' stay and their travel.

Arnav told her that he is doing this for her and her parents as he doesn't want them to get worried about anything regarding people and their wedding. Khushi look at him with love and admiration as he eats his pizza slice. She so wanted to kiss him senseless for being so kind and caring ... but she has to wait ... as she had still one other plan for tonight. She turns her face away as she felt shy and the heat rising up her cheeks thinking about what she is going to do. Soon their dinner was over, Khushi clear the plates and table. They both took things down in the kitchen.

"Arnav ji I am going to freshen up in our bedroom, you can use guest bedroom to freshen up", said Khushi and Arnav nodded his head as he places the dirty utensils in the sink.

"You leave them, I will wash them later ok", said Khushi as she move backwards, "And yes after you freshen up can you please light up the fireplace?".

Arnav give her a surprise look, wanted to ask as to why to light up the fireplace but Khushi had already move out. He shrugs his shoulder thinking that if Khushi wants it then he will do it.

He started to wash the dishes thinking about the makeover of penthouse and how much Khushi is making effort to bring happiness and light in his life. A smile form up on his lips, he felt happy and content that now he has someone who thinks about his happiness and cares for him very much.

He chuckles thinking if his Di and family saw him doing dishes they would faint with shock for sure. But that's not the first time he was doing this ... During his stay at US he has done many domestic tasks like these, with only him to take care of himself and his things.

After few minutes all plates and glasses were cleaned and dried. He moves towards guest bedroom to freshen up. He discards his coat and put it on bed and open his shirt's cuff going into washroom.

Meanwhile Khushi was staring at her reflection in the washroom mirror. She was wearing Arnav's charcoal dress pant, white shirt, stripped tie and charcoal coat. Her hair was open and a bit messed up. She had sprayed a sweet floral perfume. Her lips were adorned in red lipstick, kholed eyes having smoky shade over upper lids. This has been the quickest 5 min make up she had done. She was feeling nervous and shy thinking on what she was about to do ... but she has to do it as Arnav had demanded it.

FLASHBACK ...

"Are you sure you will do whatever I will ask? You won't back out after hearing my ...um .. demand", said Arnav ... his voice low and husky.

"Yes, Khushi Gupta never back out from her words", said Khushi trying to be confident.

"Ok then ... I want you to ...", Arnav look at her eyes as he leans in ... Khushi clutches the table from one hand and other was holding her purse. She closes her eyes feeling his warm breath over her lips.

Arnav smirk seeing the red color rising on her cheeks and her slightly heaving chest, he moves to her ear and whispers his demand.

"I want you do seduce me, like you did in club that night".

Khushi's eyes shot open and she pushees him, "Nahi ... hum yeh nahi ker sakhtey (No ... I cannot do this)".

"Relax, there is no pressure", said Arnav smirking as he looks at her nervous expression.

"Nahi, ap kuch aur kahiye kerne ko, yeh hum se nahi hoga (No, you tell me something else to do, I won't be able to do this)", said Khushi worriedly.

"Kion nahi hoga, pehley bhi ker chuki ho na (Why you can't, you have done it before as well)", said Arnav.

"Haan lakin us time toh ... (Yes, but that time ...)", Khushi was saying when stopped remembering how and when that had happened.

"Toh kia Khushi ... (That what Khushi)", said Arnav amusingly. Khushi looked down on floor as she fidgets with her fingers.

Arnav move ahead, "There is one other thing ...", said Arnav and lean near her ear and whisper again.

"You'll have to seduce me by dancing, without any audience around ... means we both alone".

Khushi eyes got wider listening to his demand, she pushed him again, "Haww besharam", said Khushi and run towards the door.

"Only with you", said Arnav loudly. Khushi opens and door and went out giving him a backward glance.

FLASHBACK ENDS...

Khushi closes her eyes feeling goose bumps on her skin, only with remembering his husky voice in her ear whispering his demand. She had been jittery since then, at first she thought she can't do it and will tell Arnav to demand something else ... but later when she thought about her birthday night and how Arnav had pleasured her without caring about his own ... she decided that she will do. She had searched on the net about seductive dance moves and the one thing caught her attention was ... stripping.

She knew it will be very difficult for her to do that in front of Arnav ... but then his challenge rang in her mind ... about shocking him like never before ... and she really really wanted to shock him, surprise him and wanted him to remember something, given by her, forever.

So she took a deep breath ... giver herself a pep talk.. that she can do this and she is doing this for her Arnavji ... she wanted to do something else tonight as well ... and for that she is gona need whole a lot of courage ... she just wished she could make it pleasurable and memorable for Arnav ... like he had done for her.

With last glance on her appearance, being satisfy ... she rush out of washroom.

Arnav light up the fireplace ... he poke the wood logs with steel rod. Being satisfied that all log had caught fire, he put the rod back in rack and stood up. He was just about to call out to Khushi when the light got switched off and the room bathe in yellow light from the fireplace and some moonlight coming through the large windows.

He turned quickly and froze in that very spot, his eyes wide and fixed on her ... a seductress ... dressed in his clothes.

His clothes? Oh My ... is that really his clothes? Arnav's mouth opened slightly as Khushi move few step towards him swaying her hips and biting her lower lips. She stopped behind the pink sofa in front of Arnav ... she presses the play button of the small sound system placed on the side table near sofa.

"Now time for your prize Arrnav", said Khushi making his name end in a husky whisper.

Khushi glides her body with his, slowly moving down. Then she twirls again and came in front of him. She put hands over his shoulder.

I Love The Way You Touchin Me, Feeling Me
Boy Im Gonna Be Rebelling
Boy My Little Secrets Gonna Let You Know
That Wen You Put Your Arms Around Me
I Love The Way You Surround Me
Oh Boy I M Gonna Loose Control

Khushi move forward, making him step backward and then push him and Arnav falls on the sofa. His mouth opens slightly and his heart started to beat fast.

As music goes on, Khushi loosen the noose of tie and then slowly takes it off and throw to side.

Tere Hi Tera Hi Intezaar Hai
Mujhe To Bas Tujhse Pyaar Hai

Khushi bend over him and place her hand on his chest and glides down.

Tera Hi Tera Abb Khumaar Hai
Khud Pe Na Mere Ikhtiyaar Hai

She moves back, her hips moving left right seductively.

Tere Hi Tera Hi Intezaar Hai
Mujhe To Bas Tujhse Pyaar Hai

Khushi started to open her shirt buttons, Arnav looked at her shocked beyond wits when he saw her opening all the buttons.

Tera Hi Tera Abb Khumaar Hai
Khud Pe Na Mere Ikhtiyaar Hai

She slowly takes off the shirt and throws to side. Arnav gulped the lump forming in his throat, seeing her pink sports bra. Is she really doing what he is thinking she is doing? He wanted to speak but his tongue seems to be locked.

Bin Tere Sanam Is Jahan Mein
Beqkaar Hum
Dum Da Dum Da Dum

Khushi move her hands and hips with the beat of the song.

Bin Tere Sanam Is Jahan Mein
Beqkaar Hum

She bends down, giving him a peak of her cleavage. Arnav sit on the sofa, without moving an inch, totally lost in the enchantress in front of him. He could feel himself getting aroused.
He asked her to seduce him ... not torture him, he thought feeling his blood rushing in his veins.

Touch Me Touch Me Touch Me
Ah Zara Zara

She glides her hands over her arms and chest.
Khushi was glad for the high beats of song as her mind tried to focus on the steps of the song. Otherwise with his intense it would not be possible for her to do all this.

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Ah Zara Zara

She bites her lower lip, closing her eyes, feeling his hot gaze moving over her body

Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me
Ah Zara Zara
Ooo Ooo Ooo

She opens her eyes and look at him, staring at her with dark eyes ... Khushi understood that he had realized that she is stripping for him.

Once Time Touch Me Like This
I Like What You Want
What You Give Its A Risk

Khushi hands trembles a bit as it move to the zip of the pant.

Two Time Touch Me Like This
Together Wanna Fasa D Style The Way Tat A Lover

She opens the zip slowly and saw Arnav's eyes follow the movement. He fidgets a little as his hands tingle to remove that piece away from her body himself.

Three Time Touch Me By Far
Gets Over Here Comes The Crazy With Me In My Car
Its One Time Touch Me Like This
I Know Wat You Want, Wat You Can, Wat You Say.. My Lover

She gulped her heart beating fast and she closes her eyes for a moment and then removes the pant.

His eyes delightfully took in her appearance, in her pink sports bra and a short hot pant, giving him ample view of her creamy skin, long shapely legs glowing in the yellow light coming from fire place.

Yeh Dard-E-Dil To Ho Na Agar
Sataye Abb Dooriyon Ka Gum
Behek Jaye Na Yeh Kadam
Hai Tujhe Meri Jaan Ki Kasam

Khushi dance the same steps from the song, arising sinful thoughts in Arnav's mind.

Yeh Dard-E-Dil To Ho Na Agar
Sataye Abb Dooriyon Ka Gum
Behek Jaye Na Yeh Kadam
Hai Tujhe Meri Jaan Ki Kasam

Khushi turn her back to him, her one hand swipe her hair to side, giving him a view of her back.

She sways her body with the song. She felt goose bumps on her skin, feeling his hot eyes burning her back ... tingling her spine in the process.

Bin Tere Sanam Is Jahan Mein
Beqkaar Hum
Dum Da Dum Da Dum
Bin Tere Sanam Is Jahan Mein
Beqkaar Hum

Arnav was shocked into immobility as he saw his innocent nave Khushi moving her body seductively and abundantly.

It doesn't look like she is innocent or nave ... but it looks like she is on the mission to kill him with her body on display.

Touch Me Touch Me Touch Me
Ah Zara Zara
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Ah Zara Zara

Khushi face him and move her hands over her body and into the hair, her hips move left right with the beat arising fire in his body.

A man can only control himself for little long ... he has to touch her ... and now. Arnav stood up from sofa and move to her.

Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me
Ah Zara Zara

Khushi got startle as Arnav grab her wrist and look down at her ... his eyes ... dark ... burning with desire.

Ooo Ooo Ooo

Arnav tried to hold her but Khushi pushed him and move forward, making him fall in the sofa for the second time.

Touch Me Touch Me Touch Me
Ah Zara Zara

But instead of moving away, Khushi sit on his lap, her legs on his either side. She push herself upwards, her knees digging into the sofa.

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Ah Zara Zara

She glides her hands over his chest and into his hair. Arnav wound his arms around her waist and tug her on him, as he leans back.

Bin Tere Sanam Is Jahan Mein
Beqkaar Hum
Dum Da Dum Da Dum

Khushi tug his hair, his face upwards, she give a one final look into his eyes and bend down. She takes his lower lip into hers and sucks on it slowly as she put her derriere on his lap.

She could feel his hard on and it enthralled her that her idea worked, as he was highly turned on.

Bin Tere Sanam Is Jahan Mein
Beqkaar Hum

She took his upper lips and sucks on it. Arnav glides his hands all over her back. The song came to an end but their passion had just started now.

She opens his lips with her finger and glided her tongue inside. She moves her hips slowly over his hard on. A groan escapes from Arnav's lips as a current shoot inside his body. This is getting too much for him.

Khushi broke the kiss due to lack of oxygen and their breaths heavy.

"Khushi ...", Arnav was about to ask her to move away when Khushi tug his hair again and swoop down, capturing his lips and kissed him deeply and passionately. Her movement of hips got faster. Arnav tried to stop her by grabbing her waist but Khushi wasn't in the mood to stop.

Only one thought was running in her mind ... is to pleasure him.

She breaks the kiss and move back, she look into his intense eyes. Both gasping for breath. Arnav's body shedder a little seeing the dark look in her eyes ... it was the first time that he was seeing this look in her eyes which means that this has just began and there is more ... More pleasure.

"Khushi ... I can't ... we need to stop", said Arnav breathing heavily.

Khushi didn't said anything, just grab his both wrist in her hand and move it upwards and locked them at both side of his head. Before he could open his mouth she leans in and captures his lips.

"Kh...ushi ... stt...ttopp", Arnav said between her sensuous kisses, but she was not at all in a mood. She tightens her hold on his wrist and moves her hips more faster over his hard on.

It was getting difficult for Arnav to protest against this beautiful pleasure. He give a tug to his wrist but understood that he won't be getting out of her grip as his vixen is on a mission to make him loose himself. Somewhere at the back of his mind and deep in his heart ... he wanted to let loose.

Arnav stop protesting after few seconds and enjoyed her touches and kisses. Khushi move back, breaking the kiss and look into his eyes as her hips move over his hard on.

"Khuushiii ...", he was going to combust.

"Let ... it ... goo ...", said Khushi panting a bit, "Arnavjiii...", Khushi moaned as she took his lips.

Their mouth were fuse together ... Khushi's hair covered their face like a curtain ... her soft bosom rubbing his chest and her soft bottom moving in fast speed over his hard on.

Soon Arnav got his release, groaning her name. His head fell back and Khushi hide her face in crook on his neck. They both were breathing heavily. Khushi loosen her hold on his wrist and Arnav wound his arms around her body and pull her more into him.

After few seconds Khushi lifted her head and look at his close eyes and calm face. She runs her fingers over his face. Arnav opened his eyes and look at her.

Khushi gasped as next second he makes her lay flat on sofa, covering her body with his.

"That was ...", Arnav wanted to say but was lost for words.

"Was?", asked Khushi.

"Incredible", said Arnav and Khushi blushed.

"I never thought that you could do this ... you surprise me every time Khushi", said Arnav.

"You ... you like it?", asked Khushi ... her heart beating fast.

"I loved it" said Arnav over her lips and she grabs his hair in a fist and pull his head down. They both kissed with wild passion. His one hand grabs her softness and kneed it. A moan escapes her lips as Arnav pinch her nipple. He places wet kisses all over her face making her yearn for his lips' touch on other parts of her body. His stubble grazes her cheeks and jaw as he moves down to her neck. He bites her there and then licks her skin, creating a sensual havoc in her body.

He moves his moist tongue down her throat, over her collar bone and move to swell of her breasts. Her insides tingled and heat arouse as he nipped and sucked the skin of her swells.

She wriggles in pleasure as one of his hand was kneeding her softness, other was roaming over her stomach, his leg rubbing against her bare one and his teeth nipped her skin and tongue licks the stinging spot.

He was about to move her bra away when the sound of cell phone ringing bring them back from their desirous haze.

Arnav was the first one to realize the ringing and he move back. Khushi blinked her eyes still lost in the haze. Arnav close his eyes for a moment and then sit straight on the sofa, helping Khushi along.

The cell phone started to ring again ... "Khushi I think its yours", said Arnav as he straightens her hairs.

"Huh?", Khushi was lost in his passion full eyes.

"Khushi .. your cell phone in ringing ... it can be your parents or sister", said Arnav nudging her a little.

Khushi came back from her sinful thoughts and move towards the kitchen with wobbly steps, where she had place her cell phone earlier on the slab. It was NK calling her. He told her that they should head to home as it is nearing to 11pm.

Its already 11pm?, thought Khushi, getting surprised that 2 hours had passed with Arnav and she didn't realize it. Time does fly fast. She told NK to pick her up after 30 mins. She went back to Arnav and inform him of the same.

"Yeah I should head back too", said Arnav as he stood up ... "But I need to change my pants".

Khushi blushed beetroot at this and turned away, not able to look at him.

She felt his arms around her and his front touching her back, "Shy haan", said Arnav huskily in her ear. His hands roaming on her bare stomach, making her heart pound and breathing getting heavy.

"Arnavji ...", Khushi said his name in a whisper.

"No one will believe that the girl who is shying now ... was stripping some time ago", said Arnav.

Khushi blushed again. She kept her eyes lower as Arnav turned her to face him.

"Still shy haan ...", said Arnav as he put a finger under her chin and move her face upwards. Khushi looked into his teasing eyes, "You are one hell seductress Khushi".

Khushi gasped at the statement and hide her face into his chest and felt it move as Arnav chuckled.

"Before I loose my control ... I think you should dress up ... I can only hold on to my control for sometime", said Arnav as he move his hands down her bare arms. Khushi shivers with his touch.

Heat seems to emit from his body and she can feel the same desire returning back.

"I ... I don't want to go", said Khushi with a pleading tone.

"Me too ... but we have to", said Arnav as he pull her close ... his breath fanning her lips.

"Just 6 more days Khushi ... then no one can stop as from being together", Arnav whispers huskily as he take her lips into a slow seductive kiss.

Khushi grab onto his arms and give her equal into the kiss. Few seconds later they break the kiss, gasping for breath.

"I will take the guest bedroom", said Arnav as he reluctantly move back. Khushi watched him picking his pant from the floor and moving inside guest bedroom.

She places her hand over her heart ... which was thudding faster ... she looked around the room and smile ... they had made a new memory here.

Around Midnight ------------------------------------

Khushi lay on the bed ... but sleep was far away from her eyes. She was missing him and feeling an ache in her heart ... which was yearning for his warm embrace. Now when she think back of their moment, she couldn't believe that she really had pull off the stripping ... seduce him ... kissed him boldly ... touched him passionately and bring him pleasure. She hopes that he is happy with it. They couldn't talk much after they got dress. They tidy the place and put off the fire. Soon NK was there to take Khushi back.

Her cell beeped. Khushi quickly grab her cell phone and smile wide seeing a message from Arnav.

"Thanks my love ... I will never forget this night".

Khushi smiles and bite her lower lip as she typed the reply.

"That was the whole purpose"

And press send.

Her cell beeped after few seconds.

"Love you ... my naughty seductress".

Khushi giggled reading his message and replied back.

"Love you too ... my naughty laad governer".

They both talked some more through message and then sleep with thoughts of each other occupying their heart and mind.

Next day - Saturday Morning - 8.30am -------

Arnav enter through the front door, wiping his face with a light blue towel. He had just returned from his long jog. He went towards kitchen for water ... as his water bottle had gotten empty.

"Hari Prakash ji, make halwa or kheer in lunch today as well. Whatever can be made easily ok. And make it extra sweet ok. Massi and Minie love extra sweet things", said Anjali instructing Hari Prakash.

Just then Jai Paraksh came there, "Didi, the rooms are ready". He is of the same age as Akash so he calls Anjali, Didi. Hari Prakash and Om Prakash are in their forties and brothers. Jai Parkash is Om's Prakash's son.

"That's good. Now go help Hari Prakash ji in kitchen. They will be here before lunch, so I want everything to be ready", said Anjali.

"Who will be here before lunch?", asked Arnav as he came near.

"Don't tell me you forget? Shalini Massi is coming today remember. I told you 2 days ago", said Anjali

"Oh shit", murmured Arnav as his face donned an irritating expression.

"Chottey ...", Anjali give him a warning look, "Now I want you to behave cordially around them, specially to Dhruv. You literally made him cry last time".

"If he doesn't irritate me ... then I will ... behave", said Arnav pressing his lips.

"Chottey, he doesn't irritate you. He admires you, you're his role model and he just needs your time and attention", said Anjali in soft tone, remembering last visit of her cousins.

"He irritates me with all his hugging and his "kia ker rahey ho" chant ... why one have to hug every time they meet", said Arnav in same irritating tone.

"Acha, so you don't hug Khushi whenever you meet her", said Anjali folding her arms, giving him a very knowing look.

Arnav look at his sister with startled expression and couldn't help but feel a little proud at her sharp thinking ... in some situation, like this, he sees his own ASR streak in her.

Why not? ... after all she is his Di ... who, for the major part of his life, was like a mother to him.

"Whatever Di", said Arnav and turn to go ... not before shouting for Hari Prakash to bring Juice for him.

Anjali smile at him ignoring her question. Some things will never change.

After few hours ----------------------------------

Anjali entered study room angrily, "What are you two doing here?", she asked coming near her brothers, who were sitting around the table ... papers and files scattered above it.

Before Arnav or Akash could answer, Anjali spoke angrily, "I told you both not to do office work and still you both are huddled here since breakfast".

"Di, we are not doing office work. We are going over the expenditure of wedding and other stuff", Arnav explain his Di in casual tone.

"Whatever", Anjali wave his hand in air and pointed a finger towards Akash, "You, get your ass up and go to airport".

Akash was taken aback with her choice of words.

"Massi's flight will be landing in few minutes ", said Anjali.

"Why Akash have to go? We have drivers to do the job", said Arnav.

"Chottey you just stay out of it", said Anjali showing a hand to him. Arnav raise his eyebrow and both brothers pass a look.

"You're still here", said Anjali putting her hands over her waist and glare at Akash, who quickly scurried out of chair and out of study room.

Arnav stood up and went to his sister, "Di, relax ... why are getting so worked up", said Arnav as he held her shoulders.

"You're asking me this ... there are so much work to do ... so many things to plan, the decorations, clothes, food menu ... the guests and ... and ...", Anjali was getting apprehensive.

"Di ... Di ... relax", said Arnav as he runs his hands up and down over Anjali's arms.

Anjali took a deep breath ... trying to calm down, "Chottey I don't want anything to be less than perfect on your wedding".

"I know Di ... it was your looong overdue wish and dream", said Arnav in teasing tone.

Anjali pouted at him.

"Di don't get hyper ok. Everything will be done as you want it to", said Arnav in assuring tone.

"I have already spoken to Ankit ... he will be here with his team and workers ... you just have to order them and they will do the job. That's why we are paying them. Aman and Lavanya will be here in evening to help as well. And I am here too right? I will look over things. And if you affect your health due to all this ... I swear I will cancel everything and go for court marriage ... you know I still can do that", said Arnav in warning tone.

"Don't you dare even speak of it", said Anjali smacking his arm.

"Don't make me then ... by affecting your mental and physical health like this", Arnav retort back.

"Ok ok ... but you can't ask me not to worry ok ... there so many things do ... so many things to plan ...", Anjali was starting her rant again and when Arnav roll his eyes and cut in, "the decorations, clothes and food menu .. and blah blah blah", said Arnav

Anjali huffed and smack his arm again, "Go , I won't talk to you", and went towards the door.

"You and I both know that's not gonna happen ... just in next 5 mins you will be coming, Chottey this and Chottey that", said Arnav in teasing tone as they both went out of study room.

"Naniii ... Chotey is making fun of me", Anjali whined loudly making Arnav chuckled behind her.

Ahh it feels good to tease your sitter like this, he thought ... its been long that Arnav indulge in these small things. He smile wide as he saw Anjali going towards sitting area adjacent to dining table, where Nani and Mami were sitting and talking.

After some time @ Buaji's House ---------------

NK looks at the pink and green sarees in his hand with scared look as if they are gona eat him up.

"Do I really have to do this Kuku? Can't you ask any other thing?", asked NK as he gulped down the lump in his throat.

"Yes you have to ... if you want to make it up for missing my birthday", said Khushi folding her hand over her front.

"Come on Kuku, I can't do this", said NK looking pleadingly at Khushi.

"Yes you can ... its only me and Arush here ... just for 5 mins ... so come on quickly put it on ... I have to put some make up on you as well", said Khushi cheekily.

NK eyes widened hearing the word makeup ... if he knew what Khushi would made him do .. he would never have missed her birthday.

Since the time they had become best friends ... they have this pact between them to celebrate each other brithdays together till the other gets married. He remember how last year on his birthday in November, he was in Pune for some work since 1 n half months, and Khushi came there with Naina to give him a surprise and celebrate his birthday. But only he knew that Khushi knew how much he was missing Naina and feeling homesick ... so she had planned the surprise trip.

These kind of things always makes other people think of them more of a couple than being best friends ... but they know how special their friendship is ... built on strong trust and understanding ... its very rare to have friends like these, so they cherish their friendship and bond very much.

Khushi fills the gap of not having a sitter in NK's life as he had always missed having a sister, to protect her, to spoil her and to tease her. This void was filled when Khushi came in his life. Similarly NK filled the gap of not having a brother in Khushi's life who will protect her, pamper her ... fulfill her stupid wishes and chase off boys. This void was filled when NK came in her life.
And they both know of this fact, which strengthens their bond more.
