Part 7

She glanced at the clock again knowing the time would not reverse.She stood up hurriedly and threw some clothes on:pink shirt with full sleeves and white jeans.She took her bag outside and looked around.Every tent was gone.There was nothing.Only her tent was up.'Why did everyone leave me?Why didn't anyone wake me up?'she questioned herself.She looked around.Seeing the emptiness made her more scared and tears threatened to fall.

"Looks like sleeping beauty finally awoke from her deep sleep"said a deep voice.

Khushi sighed and closed her eyes in relief and turned around to see Arnav smirking at her with a bag in his hand.Khushi dropped her bag and ran towards him and wrapped her arms around him in a fierce hug gluing her body against his not caring what position she was in.

Arnav being shocked would be an underestimate.He was beyond shocked.He had not expected her to literally jump into his arms.But then he though...why not take advantage of it?He grinned and dropped his bag to the ground and wrapped his arms around her waist inhaling her scent.He smiled resting his chin on her shoulder.

Khushi then realized her position and slowly moved away.Arnav frowned but quickly replaced it with a small smile.

Khushi got confused "Where"

Arnav smirked."To my house"

Khushi widened her eyes "Why would I go to your house"

Khushi recalled how she had slept late at night probably causing her to not wake up.

Khushi smiled and nodded.She grabbed her bag and followed him to a car out on the road.The car was a nice shade of red.It was kind of shiny.It had no cover on the top.

Car

"Like my car?"asked Arnav opening Khushi's door.

Khushi grinned and nodded.

"I had it sent"said Arnav taking a seat himself.He started the car and began driving.

"It's a long time since I have driven this car?"told Arnav

"That's ridiculous,this car is fit and fine"Arnav said patting the steering wheel.

Suddenly there was a jerk and the car stopped.Khushi raised her eyebrows and said

Arnav gave a nervous laugh and tried to start the car again but failed miserably.

"Looks like we'll have to walk"offered Khushi.

Arnav agreed and they began walking leaving the car.It was soon night.They were still quite far from their destination so they decided to stay in a hotel.

"Can we get 2 rooms"said Arnav to the receptionist.

Arnav looked at Khushi asking her opinion.She shrugged and hesitantly nodded.She looked at some plants and wandered off there.Arnav sighed and nodded at the receptionist taking out his wallet.

"Bonjour ma belle lady.Tu sont la recherche aujourd'hui.Peut plus divine et en circulation, j'ai le plaisir de connatre votre nom et mieux vous autour d'une tasse de caf savoir?"(Hello my beautiful lady.You are looking most divine and outstanding today.May I have the pleasure to know your name and get to know you better over a cup of coffee?)said a French man holding Khushi's hand.

"Uhhh..."said Khushi not sure what to say.

"Non, vous ne pouvez pas qu'elle appartient dej moi"(No you may not as she already belongs to me) said Arnav holding Khushi's hand which the french man was already holding.

"Oh desolee"(Oh sorry) apologized the french man.

Arnav held Khushi's hand tighter and took her to the elevator and pressed the 8 button on the side.Once the elevator closed Arnav pinned Khushi on the wall gripping her shoulders not too tightly,just firm and said

Khushi got confused.He took in her expression.

Arnav shook his head and then smiled.He let go of her shoulders and managed to calm down.The elevator door opened and he held out a hand for hers to take and Khushi readily put her hand in his.He took her to the room and locked the door.

"Wow such a beautiful room"Khushi gaped

Arnav smiled at her antics as she looked at each object in the room carefully.Khushi then yawned.

Both of them looked towards the bed and jumped on it.Khushi on left and Arnav on right.Arnav then said

"Done"agreed Khushi.

They made a wall of pillows and within a couple minutes fell asleep.While in their sleep,they twisted and turned a lot.Khushi threw her hand on the pillow while sleeping on her back.Arnav,sleeping on his stomach,threw his hand on top of hers.They both unknowingly entwined their fingers and smiled in their sleep.

The next day Arnav woke up first and saw their fingers entwined and gave a small smile.He untangled their fingers,got up,and stretched.He looked at her and shook her to wake her up.She woke up and they both took a shower and got ready.They checked out of the hotel and took a cab.Until afternoon they had reached Khushi's house.Khushi lived in Lucknow with her dad but she had gone for a few years to Delhi for further studies with her friends and henceforth lived with them.

"Goodbye Khushi"said Arnav with a sad smile

"No Angel?"asked Khushi

"I guess I only call you by your name in serious situations"said Arnav recalling the waterfall incident.

Arnav walked towards the cab and left waving.Khushi waved back and whispered

Arnav also whispered back "I'll miss you"

Khushi turned around when he was out of sight and sighed.She looked towards her house fearfully.Was she ready to do this?
