Chapter 7

Arnav gave Khushi his sexiest smirk as he takes the saree from Khushi's hand.

"Khushi you don't have to hold your breath , you know I am not going to eat you up", Arnav said as he kneeled on his knees holding the saree close to his heart.

Khushi was happy,thrilled, shocked, confused and what not. For few seconds she dunno what is going on. She is standing there in her room and Arnav draping her saree. She dunno why but today she is feeling a little dizzy with Arnav's one touch.

Arnav's sudden touch on her petite waist brought her back from her so called confused thoughts. She shivered slightly and looks down. Arnav all the time was enjoying Khushi's confused expressions.

Arnav started to drape the saree. He tucked the upper end of the sari into her petticoat and wrapped the sari once around Khushi.

Khushi all the time was hyper ventilating and her expressions weren't missed by Arnav. Leaving Khushi with her confused thoughts Arnav continued his work.

He made 6-7 pleats and tucked them in while touching Khushi milky bare waist. Arnav used a safety pin to stop the pleats from scattering.

He draped the remaining sari around Khushi and fastened the pallu at her shoulder with a safety pin to prevent it from slipping off her shoulder.

As Arnav was done with her sari he found Khushi ogling at him with a wide open mouth. He rolled his eyes and closed her open mouth with his right hand while his left hand was enjoying the softness of Khushi's waist.

Khushi when realized their closeness and sari encounter blushed a little and said, " Arnie I dint know that you have done your masters in draping sari also". Arnav realized his left hand's position and quickly removed it from her waist and said , " We are getting late, lets go".

Khushi just nodded her head and followed Arnav upto his car.

Arnav as being a gentleman opened the passenger door for Khushi. Khushi smiled at his sweet gesture and was about to enter when Arnav suddenly called her name. She confusingly looked towards Arnav and gestured him to continue through her eyes.

Arnav just placed his palm on her right cheek and kissed her forehead. After kissing he said, " Khushi you are looking beautiful today. Thanks for accepting my gift and wearing this sari".

Khushi smiled and said while placing her left hand on his palm that was still there on her cheek, " Arnav thanks for gifting this beautiful sari and also helping me to wear it. Now lets leave or else our friends gonna kill us for being late".

The journey upto the party venue was full of silence as both of them were recalling the things that has happened few minutes ago.

Khushi was confused with her feelings. Those feelings which she felt when Arnav was draping her sari. His touch sent shivers down her spines. One question roaming all over her mind and heart.. "Why is she feeling this kinda for Arnav and his touch?"

Her thoughts were interrupted as Arnav parked the car and opened the passenger door. Arnav offered her his hand and she quickly brushing off her thoughts accepted it with a wide smile.

Arnav and Khushi entered the venue hand in hand. They were looking perfect with each other as a made in heaven couple.

Soon they were surrounded by La, NK, Payal and Aakash.

"Where the hell were you guys? See the organizers are late in this party", La said teasingly earning a quick slap from Khushi.

"Wow Khushi! You are looking ravishing and Arnav you looks dashing. Perfect couple for tonight's party", NK said while placing an arm on La's shoulder.

After hearing NK's comment Arnav and Khushi both stopped smiling as their confused feelings again started to haunt them. Both looked towards each other but were soon interrupted by Payal.

"You guys have taken too long to reach here. Dean is already done with his speech. See now the dance floor is also ready for the couples", Payal said as she holds Aakash's arm as a gesture to proceed towards the dance floor.

Khushi was talking to La while Arnav and NK went to meet the Dean. Khushi noticed Arnav with corner of her eyes. She was admiring each every move of Arnav. She blushed a little thinking about him touching her bare waist.

On the other side the situation was more or less same. While taking to the Dean, Arnav was admiring Khushi, her appearance in a sari, her beauty, her innocence and what not. Arnav for the first time saw Khushi in a sari and that too a red sari, his favourite colour. His thoughts went to their evening sari draping encounter. He smiled and muttered, "God! She is looking breathe taking beautiful".

Suddenly the lights went off and later dimed. The DJ asked all the couples to join the dance floor. Payal and Aakash who were already there gestured their friends to join them. NK and La soon joined them while Arnav started walking towards his partner with his popular sexiest smirk.

He asked for her hand and said, "Shall we?"

Khushi happily accepted his offer and placed her hands on Arnav's and said, "Sure!"

Soon all the couple were in the dance floor but one couple were fighting with their confused feelings. Soon the DJ played a soft romantic dance number. Arnav and Khushi both shared an eye lock and both began to dance along with the rhythm of the song.

Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare'

Arnav clasped his left hand with Khushi's right hand and lifted it slightly'

Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare'

Arnav placed his right hand on Khushi's covered cum bare waist while Khushi placed her hand on his shoulder'

Idhar nahin, udhar nahin
Teri ore chale'

Arnav pulled Khushi towards him almost covering the remaining distance between them'

Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin, udhar nahin
Teri ore chale'

Arnav and Khushi began to move along with the beats looking into each others eyes as if no one else exists in the world apart from them'

Zara der mein yeh kya ho gaya'
Nazar milte hi kahan kho gaya'

Khushi moved her hand from his shoulder and placed it around Arnav's neck while Arnav started caressing her waist softly'

Zara der mein yeh kya ho gaya
Nazar milte hi kahan kho gaya'

Both of them started to find the answers of their unsaid and unknown questions in each others eyes'

Bheed mein logon ki woh hai wahan
Aur pyaar ke mele mein akela itna hoon main yahan'

Arnav twirled Khushi around him and pulled back her to him and she landed on Arnav with her back towards Arnav's front'

Shuru ho gayi kahani meri
Mere dil ne baat na maani meri'
Arnav placed his arms around Khushi from behind '

Shuru ho gayi kahani meri
Mere dil ne baat na maani meri'

Khushi placed her hands over Arnav's and closed her eyes feeling his touch'

Hadd se bhi aage yeh guzar hi gaya
Khud bhi pareshaan hua mujhko bhi yeh kar gaya'

Arnav swayed with Khushi in his arms and twirled her around him'

Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin, udhar nahin
Teri ore chale'

Arnav pulled Khushi towards him and she landed on him with her hands around Arnav's neck and Arnav's hands on Khushi's waist'

Soon the song ended. Arnav takes a step back from Khushi and held her left hand, lifted it to his lips and kissed it. "Thank you Khushi , for the dance, for wearing the sari , for everything", Arnav said while looking deeply into her eyes...
