SS: Breathless (Updated Part 11 & 12, 11/20) - Page 15

Khushi was excited to see La with her mom and Payal.

La: (with a smirk and teasingly) So how did your meeting go with your Lard Governor. I am interested in all details.

Khushi's eyes popped realizing what she meant.

La: (with a huge smile on her face) I have requested aunty to go home after shopping here 'coz we three are going to go for come special shopping(winked)

It was evening by the time they reached home. La was going to stay with them tonight. Anjali had requested her to visit them and also get Khushi and Payal with her.

They all entered RM and were greeted by Anjali and Nani. Anjali was showing all the shopping that they had completed and what all was left. Arnav returned from work and was thrilled to see Khushi at RM.

La: Besides your would be wife we are are also here, you know (winked)

ASR: (notoriously) Oh really! I completed missed you guys. My would be wife is so pretty that it's hard to take eyes off her. See it's not my fault. You need to tell your friend to not look this stunning all the time.

Khushi turned crimson hearing him and gave him an angry stare. Everyone giggled making Khushi even more conscious.

La: You'll be glad to know we did some special shopping for Khushi today, especially for your sake. It took me forever to convince her to try some of those things. You will thank me dude.

ASR smiled and realizing they all were making Khushi very conscious tried changing the discussion topic.

ASR: How is Sanjiv? **Sanjiv is La's husband**

La: (smirk) He is missing me now just like you were until you saw Khushi. So ASR, how did your and Khushi's meeting go today morning? What did you enjoy the most during the meeting today morning?

Khushi interrupting nervously replied, "W .What are you asking? You don't know anything about designs and we c..c..cannot disclose anything now. So let's not talk about today morning's meeting."

Arnav with a smile looking at Khushi replied, "How was your day? Tired?"

Khushi: Ya..we did lot of shopping today. I did not get any time to finish the designs. I will have to work on them tonight.

Arnav: Don't get stressed over designs. We still have time and I have arranged for additional resources 15days before reveal to work on completing dresses. That will take care of some of this delay. Don't work under stress, that impacts quality of work. (With a smile) Enjoy the next few days, take break from work and we will get back to it soon. You need to send me an estimate how many resources will be required assuming they only get 15 days to work on them.

Khushi: Why will they only get 15 days? Reveal is 1.5months away.

Right after these words came out of her mouth she realized that it was mistake saying this because La will again start teasing her. They will be going for 2 weeks honeymoon and Arnav had taken all this into account when arranging for additional resources.

Arnav replied before La could say something, "You will need some time to create designs also, right?"

Khushi nervously smiled but La was not going to leave this opportunity.

La: Khushi darling you'll be going for honeymoon after wedding and honeymoons are tiring. So ASR has arranged for everything keeping that in mind. I am sure he has biggg plans for honeymoon '

Arnav: Khushi dear La is telling you all this based on her experience. She is looking so exhausted and tired after her honeymoon (winked).

Anjali joined them and all of them started pulling Khushi's leg and everytime Arnav tried to save her, it just made things worse.

Khushi : We should leave now.

Arnav: I need to show you something regarding designs. Can you come to my room with me?

Everyone around trying very hard to stop laughter and Khushi sentient of everyone's reaction blushed but also knew that it will be a futile effort on her part if she tries to say no to his request. So she nodded and started walking with him. They both could hear giggles and Khushi almost melted.

Khushi entered his room for the first time. He closed the door and wrapped her from behind and placed his face on her neck.

Arnav: I missed you *kissed her neck*.

He turned her around gently to face him, placed a kiss on her forehead, cheeks and nose. He hugged her tightly and his hands were softly brushing her hand, neck' Khushi placing her head on his chest softly said, "You look tired? Did you eat anything or did you just kept working? I am also not there and you have to take care of my part too."

Arnav cupped her face and raising it said, "Everything I do in my life now I do it for you and I am not tired because you were not there to help me but because you were not with me. I am use to working but in the last few weeks I have also got used to you being around. So I missed you today a lot. That's it."

He placed a kiss on her lips softly and her lips parted. He kissed her back with immense passion.

Arnav: (with a smirk) This is how much I missed you.

He made her sit on his bed and requested her to close her eyes.

Arnav: Khushi open your eyes.

Arnav was sitting on his knees He was holding his mother's bangles. Holding her wrist softly slipped his mother's bangles on her hands. He kissed her hands and said, "I love you. My mom wanted her daughter in law to wear this and I am sure she is glad that you are the one. She also wrote this letter for her daughter-in-law."

Khushi requested Arnav to sit next to her. She started unwrapping the letter with lot of care and started reading it..

Arnav: Read it loudly...please

Khushi: (lovingly) Vaise toh yeh churiyan hum aapko khud he pehnayenge (she looked at Arnav with teary eyes). Chote ke naak main bohat sara gussa rehta hai aur dil main bohat sara pyar. Gussa seh lena aur pyar soodh samet lautana.

Khushi hugged him tight. She cupped his face with both her hands and started kissing his cheeks, forhead, chin, eyes, and lips.

Khushi looking outside at stars said, "I promise you ma, main aapke bete ka gussa seh loonge aur pyar hamesha soodh samet lautaoonge."

She sat on Arnav's lap and he placed his head on her chest.

Arnav: I am sure she is so proud of me for marrying you. She must be wondering just like me why would someone as sweet as you love me.

Khushi lovingly, "She knows why I am marrying her son. I love you for who you are with all your flaws just the way you accept me for who I am. We are marrying each other because that is the only way we know how to live, with each other."

They sat silently lost in each other for a while.

Arnav: Can't you stay with me tonight?

Khushi pleadingly looking at him said, "I wish I could. It is difficult for me too to stay away from you but it is just a matter of few days. I need to leave now, please."

She got up and Arnav followed her down. Anjali was glad to see her mother's bangles in Khushi's hand. La, Khushi and Payal left and went home.

Next couple of days flew by in the midst of wedding preparations. They talked to each other at night for hours before falling asleep with phone still switched on.

The news of these two getting married broke many hearts. He was the most eligible bachelor and she was the most sought after bachelorette. They were a perfect couple and many hearts broke and one of them was Neel's. He called Khushi to congratulate her and told her that he was surprised to hear her wedding news with Arnav.

Today was mehendi night and everyone gathered at her house. Khushi insisted that La stay tonight with them because they have not been able to catch up last time when she stayed. At night Payal, Lavanya and Khushi were sitting outside and pouring their heart to each other.

Lavanya imitating Khushi, "Arnav Singh Raizada cannot love anyone. One needs a heart to fall in love and god forgot to give him that" Khushi pouting at La.

Lavanya: So dear I was not clogged by all love making? Huhhh. I am sooo happy for you two. Love is the best thing to happen to someone. So sweetie how hot is he in bed:

Khushi flustered and acting surprised said, "How am I supposed to know how hot he is not bed?"

Payal and La giving her don't lie stare and even after that when she didn't say anything,

La: Sweetie pie if you plan to lie you should have atleast hidden those lovebites. It's all over you darling, on your neck, chest, back…

Khushi turned red: F..f.f.f.fine… H h h how was ur..

La: My honeymoon was rocking. (winked) Tried every possible position mentioned in kamasutra. My husband rocks my life on bed. Now getting back to you two, how hot is he in bed?

Payal and La giggled. La called Arnav and turned the phone on mute and Khushi did not realize that Arnav could hear everything she is saying.

Khushi with a smile and still blushing, "He is really hot. He is sooo good looking and I love his smile. I really love the feel of his touch on me. With his every kiss I melt and his touch sends shiver up my spine. It maybe a corny thing to say but it felt so right and complete when we …you .. like (with a nervous cute smile)made love..The way he made me wear his mom's bangles I fell in love with him all over again. Sometimes I am scared of all this. I hope this happiness will last because I have never been this happy. I have always imagined how life will be with him but never in my wildest dreams did I think it will be this perfect. He is really caring and loving and then (smiling) sometimes he is this angry arrogant ASR. I love him when he loves me and when he is in ASR mode. He is like a child who at times needs to be disciplined to get back on track. He is my world and he is all I need to live."

Arnav who heard all this lay on his bed and couldn't help smile. He wanted to hold her, feel her, get inside her.. he wanted her. He wanted to comfort her that no matter what happens he will always be there for her. He texted La to hand phone to Khushi.

La hugged her and said, "He too loves you a lot. In the last five years you have no idea how many times have he asked me about you and how many times I wished I could just tell him the truth. Finally Anjalidi and I decided that it is time and that's when she started telling ASR to move to London with family. Sweetie I just received a text from your Lard Governor who wants to talk to you now. I am sorry darling but what I just did, it was for my dear friend ASR who also needs to hear what you tell us".

Khushi was not able to understand what she meant and looked lost. La handed her the phone and she and Payal left.

Khushi: Why didn't you call me on my cell?

Arnav: because I was listening to everything that you shared with Payal and La thru this phone.

Khushi: WHAT? I will kill La.

Arnav: (Teasingly) Why love? Don't I need to know how I make you feel…if it makes any better then I'll also confess that you drive me crazy, your touch leaves me woozy and when we make love that is the most euphoric experience I have ever had…that's what I guess people mean by reaching a state of nirvana..I can't wait to have you …

Khushi: (timidly) Stop….

Arnav: Darling this time tomorrow you are in my bedroom, on my bed with me… Are you completely red? (laughed) Sweetheart take some sleep tonight because from tomorrow you will be sleep deprived. And dear remember no matter what happens I am always there for you and I will not let anything bad happen to you. Love you!

Khushi: Good night.

She entered her room and angrily walked upto La but she was asleep. Khushi lay on her bed thinking tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning of their life.
