Chapter VII: Coming home

Hari Prakash followed Anjali bearing a large tray with water and a sumptuous looking thali. After placing it on the table by the recliner, he left the room quietly.

Noticing the gloomy look on Khushi's face, Anjali enquired, "Khushi ji... you ok? Still not feeling too good, huh?"

"Yeah Di... but don't worry, she'll be better once she's eaten," quipped Arnav, before Khushi could reply.

Anjali cupped Khushi's face in her hands, "I'm sure you will... guess what's for dessert... jalebis, you love them, don't you?"

Khushi smiled immediately, touched that Anjali remembered. "Thanks Anjali ji... I already feel a whole lot better."

Turning towards Arnav, Anjali perked up. "Ok, now I want details!! What's up with you two? Gosh ' I'm so excited!"

Arnav smiled. He walked over to Khushi and put his arm around her shoulder. "I don't want to rain on your parade... Khushi, why don't you tell Di?" His eyes stayed locked on Khushi's face.

"Huh? I.. I mean we... " Khushi stuttered. Damn him for putting her in a tight spot in front of his sister.

"Khushi... it's ok, you can tell me..." Anjali offered, resting her hand on Khushi's, in an effort to comfort her.

"Anjali ji... I think Arnav ji should be the one to tell you... after all, I'm sure you'd be delighted to hear it from your own brother!" Khushi replied, trying to worm out of the tight spot.

"You're sure Khushi? You want me to tell Di? I don't want to ruin your... erm... excitement," Arnav whispered, his face inches from hers... his lips nearly touching her ear.

She stared at him from the corner of her eyes... she hated the way her body reacted to his closeness. Damn him ' he'd just made her do exactly what he wanted in the first place... she should've seen this coming... but she'd have to be better prepared next time...now he would go ahead with his plan!

"Ahem ahem... I'm still here Chhote .. stop romancing your girl in my presence," Anjali quipped, and giggled. She was tickled to bits seeing her li'l brother cosy up to Khushi, a girl after her own heart! Who would've thought the two of them would get together... Aww! They looked so cute!!

"Ok Di... I'll romance her once you're gone," Arnav replied, pulling Khushi back towards him, his right hand snaking around to rest on her left shoulder. He turned to see Khushi blushing like a bride... her gaze lowered. His forearm rested on her heaving bosom, the unsteady pace of her heart mingling with his rapid pulse. The attraction was intense, that he knew... but everything that happened today had proved that it was mutual. She was as affected as he was.

Thoroughly amused by their lost-in-love look, Anjali stifled a giggle. "Ok... I get it! She is your girl... and I love the idea! I also get it when I'm not wanted around... I better leave you two love birds to your food... I won't bother you two now." She turned and started her way towards the door.

She hadn't seen Chhote this spellbound even when he was with Lavanya. They definitely had something going, and it was no flash in the pan! What she saw there was so deep... hope Chhote realised it.

Khushi snapped out of her reverie... every time Arnav was close, her senses were so attuned to him, that she'd be lost even in a crowd! "Anjali ji... no! Wait... nothing like that... I mean we..." she rambled on, till Arnav shut her up with a kiss on her neck.

Anjali turned around to find Khushi's head turned to one side... her eyes closed, Arnav's face buried in her neck. "I'd say get a room, you two!! But you're already in one!" she said softly and blushed, as she walked out and shut the door.

Her brother was as driven in love, as he was in everything else! Poor Khushi didn't stand a chance... while Chhote's brashness was a bit much for her personally, she'd rather see him like this than detached and distant, like he'd been over these years. But it was high time she spoke to Nani, the way things were progressing... they'd have to get these two married quick!

Arnav's lips travelled downwards, placing soft kisses on Khushi's collarbone. His other hand had closed in her on waist and was moving to her hip, snaking towards the slit in her kurta. As his hands touched her bare midriff, she moaned. Her eyes flew open as he turned her around to face him... she tried to wriggle away... but he tightened his grip on her waist, his fingers continuing to tease her soft skin.

"Khushi... you drive me crazy... gosh... I can't get you out of my mind. Khushi... I can't see you get hurt again! Can't you see why I want to protect you? Please let me help you sweetheart... trust me... I'll make it ok," he said in a husky, tender voice.

Khushi looked into his eyes... they were a kaleidoscope of emotions... affection, longing, concern, pain and... love? Bau ji always said that a person's eyes are a mirror to their soul.

She stood, revelling in the warmth of his embrace. Should she trust what she saw in them? Should she go with her instincts? Her hands reached out to wrap themselves his neck. She rested her head on his chest and listened to his racing heartbeat.

For the first time today, she'd felt like there was someone else other than her Bau ji who was looking out for her. Hei Devi Maiyya... why do I feel it will all be ok in the end? I know you're always looking out for me... and I know you always will.

Arnav's grip softened immediately when she hugged him. His hands caressed her back gently, running up and down its length. He'd never felt this sense of belonging with anyone other than Di... damn... what was he feeling? It confused the hell out of him. It wasn't right of him to have suggested that... she was so innocent, not like all the women he'd been with in the past, and he'd outraged her modesty with his plan.

"Khushi, I shouldn't have suggested what I did earlier... and tried to steamroll you into doing it my way," he said softly and sighed, as his hand came to rest on her head.

"No Arnav ji... I think you're right," Khushi answered, her tone caring. "Your plan makes sense... I think we should go ahead."

"But Khushi... I wasn't thinking clearly earlier... it's not fair to you. What about after? You were right... people will talk and..." he countered, shaking his head.

She turned to look up at him and placed her finger on his lips. "Don't worry about it... we'll figure it out then. For now, this is our best bet," she said, and smiled. "Now enough of this discussion... I don't know about you... but I'm famished!! Pleeease... let's eat."

And before he could react, she wriggled out his hold and ran towards the table where the thali was kept. "Oh... but the mehendi," she mumbled as she settled in on the bed nearby, and looked forlornly at her henna covered hands.

"Don't worry jaan... why fear when Arnav's here?" he said flippantly, and sat by her side, reaching for the plate and tearing a bit of the puri and dipping it into the chole.

"No Arnav ji... it's nearly dry now... I think I can..." Khushi started to protest, but before she finished her sentence, Arnav stuffed a morsel of puri-chole in her mouth, effectively shutting her up. Khushi managed not to choke, but she wouldn't let him win this battle either... he was making it a habit of shutting her up! Time to teach him a lesson!

As his fingers glided out of her mouth, she bit him gently, and flicked them with her tongue.

Arnav's eyes widened in disbelief at first, and then his expression softened, and his lips curled into a sexy smile... he twirled his thumb, and touched the inner side of her lip. The move had Khushi gasp in surprise... and Arnav quickly retrieved his hand, as her jaw dropped as she looked up at him.

I know you give it as good as you get. His eyes spoke to her. I always do better...

She smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me... Arnav ji... not always, you might have to eat humble pie one day!"

He frowned, for a second... Hell! She was reading his thoughts! "Oh really Khushi?!" he responded nonchalantly, not wanting to give her the upper edge. "I won't mind... especially if you're feeding it to me with your lovely hands," he murmured and ran his thumb over the soft swell of her lower lip, before he swooped in and parted her lips, with ease, his tongue hurriedly seeking hers.

She wanted to resist, but her body trembled at the memory of their near-kiss earlier by the pool and then by the door. Her lips had ached for his since... and her tongue greeted his shyly, at first. He closed the distance between them, his right hand at her back, guiding her closer.

Setting the thali aside, he placed his left hand on the nape of her neck, his thumb stroking her earlobe. She trembled at his touch... her hands moved up his chest of their own volition... neither, especially Arnav, could care less about the henna staining his shirt.

The timid caresses of her fingers, over his pecs, accidentally brushing a nipple had him shuddering in longing. Did she know what she was doing to him?! Seemed like she had no clue!

He deepened his kiss, titling her head back... his tongue laved her lower lip, before his teeth nibbled on it gently at first. She jerked suddenly, and his teeth sank in harder... she groaned in pleasure or pain, she didn't know... and couldn't care...

They tasted blood on her lip, as her tongue met his... he started to pull back, scared he'd been too rough on her, but her tightened grip on his shirt, circumvented his move. He groaned in response... as their tongues continued to mate... his hand trailed down her chest, and cupped her breast, the heat of his palm searing her. Her nipple peaked in response, as his thumb stroked it gently through the fabric.

Her muffled moan was music to his ears.

He inched back, looking at her half-open hazel eyes ... drugged with desire. They stared at each other, their breaths mingling short, fast...

"You ok?" he finally asked her. She nodded slowly, and smiled slowly.

He smiled back, and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. How he'd waited to have her in his arms, touch her, make her respond... have her touch him back. He'd never felt like this... finally, he was home.
