Yeh sab mere saath hi kyun hota hai?? Iss car ko bhi abhi kharaab hona tha? Ab toh meri meeting gayi! Accha hota agar mein teen din pehle hi nikalta. Mujhe maalum tha! Iss ladki ke sang rahoonga toh kuch toh garbardi hogi! Grumbling to himself, he walked to the car front and opened it. Smoke came out from the front, engluffing his head, making it hard for him to inhale fresh air. Coughing really hard, he removed his head from the direct path of the smoke, eyes watering. He quickly wiped his eyes before she could see and stopped coughing.
Walking back to the car, he opened the car door once again to grab a water bottle. He did not have to look too much for the water bottle since he felt someone hand it to him. Gulping down the water, he came up and gasped for air. After finally regaining his senses, he looked to see a worried look on Khushi's face. He guessed it must have been since she had finally realized that they were stranding in the middle of no where and the car refused to start. Her worried expression made him put the bottle of water down close his eyes, thinking of ways to fix the car and to get out of this mess. He turned away quickly shutting the car door, looking around to see if there was anything that he could use to help himself.. Due to this he did not see the concern that flashed in her eyes when he had not even rested for one second.
Khushi stared at him in horror when he could not stop coughing. Hey Devi Maiyya! Yeh inhe kya hogaya hai? Dekhiye na! Kitna kaas rahe hain! Arrey agar inhe kuch hogaya toh? Hume waise toh koi farak nahi partha par abhi toh yahi hume ghar leja sakthe hain! she thought to herself, convincing herself that the abrrupt concern had not just popped out of nowhere. She just had to go home and only he could help her do that. Aur kyun hum iss laad governor ki parwa karenge? she questioned herself thinking about everything but the answer she dreaded the most.
She saw him walking to the front of the car, coughing really hard. Quickly she got up and reached the water bottle near her. Opening the bottle cap as he opened the door, she saw him reaching aimlessly into the thin air. Smiling slightly at his efforts, she handed him the water bottle uncapped. He grabbed it from her and gulped down the water as if his life depended on it. Her smile faded away when she saw him coming to gasp for air breathing really hard. Hey Devi Maiyya. Inki raksha karna! kya zaarurat thi inko yeh sab karne ki. Jab unhe maalum tha ki gardi mein kharabiyaan hain toh phir kyun apna saar gussa rahe the? Ekdum pagal hain. Her eyebrows arched as her face turned into a frown. Arrey! Kahan ja rahe hain?! Phirse kuch hogaya toh!? Hum bahaar ja kar dekh teh hain.
Khushi opened her door and walked outside to see Arnav with his head once again in the front of the car. She walked closer to see what he was doing. He was touching parts of the machine and tweaking them. For some reason seeing him work right after not feeling well bothered her.
" Yeh aap kya kar rahe hai? Aap kya apne ap ko ab ek machenic samaj teh hain?! Haatiye! Kya zaaurat hain. Phirse Khaasne lage toh?, "she questioned him getting angrier when he just ignored her and kept doing what he was doing. Sudden urge of distress hit her and she grabbed his arm to pull his head out of the car and pay attention to her. Most would have never thought about touching Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada while she just pulled him up with so much authority as if it was her right to do so.
"Apko hamaari baat sunayee nahi deh rahi? Ya aap hume sunhi nahi rahe. Aap ko kya lagtha hai? Aap aisehi kaam karthe rahenge aur hum apko karne denge? Apki tabyat bigad gayee toh??! Chordiyein!, " she yelled at him and pulled him with more strength when he refused to move, " Humne kaha na, chordiyein!".
Without realizing what was happening, she felt herself falling backwards due to the force it had taken to pull him. She closed her eyes in anticipation, waiting to hit the hard ground. She felt the air beneath her moving away, making room for her great fall. It was just like all of the movies she had watched! She imagined herself falling slowing in slow motion to her painful experience, but before that could have happened, she felt a strong pair of arms around her, engulfing her in their depth. There was no need to see who it actually was, who the person was that had saved her. She already knew. These arms felt like home and the thought of being anywhere besides them scared her to the core. She held on to his collar, snuggling deeper into his embrace, her hands sliding of their position to go and clasp behind his neck. This felt good she decided. It felt very good and they stayed that way for what seemed like a minute for her. She did not want to let go, this was nice! Reluctantly she opened her eyes when she heard a worried call trying to wake her up.
"Khushi! Khushi tum theek ho nah? Khushi kuch toh bolo?! KHUSHI!, " Arnav yelled at her getting more nervous as the seconds went by and she went more limp in his arms. He sighed, relief washing over him when he saw her open her eyes. Thank God! Wait what?! WHAT THE?!?!
Khushi saw the emotions play over his face ending with the one she was very familiar with, anger. Hey bhagwaan! Hum toh gaye. Jaladi se hat ja Khushi, nahi toh yeh Laad Governor gusse meh hume chordega. Aur thodi si uchaiyeen bhi hain..zameen par gire toh kuch na kuch toh toot hi jayega. She quickly leaped off of Arnav as if she had been hit by a taser. In her haste she jumped on something sharp making her scream in pain.
Arnav instantly reached for her when he heard her scream full of agony. He quickly lifted her up since she was jumping up and down on one leg. Making her sit on the boot of the car, he brought her foot close to his face so he could see what had happened. There was blood dripping down her foot and Arnav quickly brought out his handkerchief to wipe it away and then used it to stop the blood from flowing.
Khushi watched in awe as he cared for her, smiling internally at his touch and affection. Wincing when he pulled the handkerchief a bit too tight he looked up and asked, " Kya hua? bahut tight hain kya? and he immediately went back to fixing the handkerchief cursing himself slightly for being so harsh on her. He stopped fretting when he felt a touch on his arm. He looked up to see Khushi shaking her head telling him it is fine.
"( Hum theek hain. Dekhiye, hum chal bhi sakte hain!)," and she jumped of the boot trying hard not to land on her hurt foot. She managed the jump down but as soon as she took a step she stumbled almost falling on her face, grabbing him before her face become as round as a chappati.
" ( Dekh sakta hoon kitni theek ho tum. Ab apna mooh band karo aur hato taki tumhe utha saku," Arnav told Khushi and bent down to pick her up.
"Nahi hum theek hain. Sachiii. Hum chal sakte hain!, " Khushi protested.
" Meine tumse kya kaha? mooh band rako aur hilo mat ," Arnav responded.
Arnav walked like this for a very long distance with Khushi who had placed her head now on his shoulder and fallen asleep. He was in awe with the beauty she emitted but he would never admit it to her. Shaking his head to stop himself for thinking such silly things he looked up to see that there was a huge house right off the road slightly. He smiled to himself and started to walk to the hotel.
They were almost to the house when he heard a lady screaming kind of like what happened at Raizada Mansion everyday he thought.
"Tum log shaadi shuda nahi ho?? Humse jhoot bola? tum logo ki himmat kaise hui aisa karne ki?! Humein jhoot bolne waloan se sakt nafrat hain"
"(Humne jhoot nahi bola. Sach mein! Abne humein dekha aur socha ki hum dono shaadi shuda hain aur jab aapse sach bollne ki koshish kiyi apne humein bolne hi nahi diya! Aur ab jab aapko pata chala toh hamein bahaar nikaal rahi hain??! , " asked the young boy.
" ( Yeh mera ghar hain aur mein yaha kuch bhi kar sakti hoon aur jaise ki app dono ladka, ladki shaadi shuda nahi ho toh mein tumhe APNE GHAR mein ek saath kaise rehne doon! Nahi! Devi Maa mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karengi. chalo niklo). " the woman yelled.
Arnav overhead the whole conversation curing under his breath. He almost turned back around to get on the road and start walking, but he looked down at Khushi and saw how weak she looked. I can't leave her like this. Usse aaraam ki zarrorat hain aur woh mere saath hain toh woh ab meri zimedaari hain.. Mujhe wapas jaane hoga lekin mein unse kahoonga kya?? Mujhe kehna hog ki hum dono shaadi shuda hain... What!? Nahin mein jhoot nahi bol sakta aur khas karke uss bare mein jisse mein bilkul nahi maanta, and with that thought, Arnav turned around to head on to the road, but the lady had already spotted them.
Since she had just kicked our her old customers, she needed new ones and the man looked very rich. Plus even a blind person could tell that these two were married so she called out to him, " Ek minute ruko bete!.
Oh great! ab mein gaya, he thought to himself, turning around to face the lady who had a happy grin on her face like a child does when they find a lollipop.
