this is keeping in mind the flirty Mr ASR!!
I want to know what love is
He had felt the warmth of her lips though fleeting as she had kissed him. Yes, she had kissed him, "Unbelievable!" He muttered to himself. He had gone to ask her if it was just for the sake of the shart or was there more. He felt it and he had taken the opportunity to kiss her, just cheeks but then he did not want to scare her away with his desire. He had to take it slow. She was young, inexperienced. Hell! he felt like a new born with the feeling she awoke in him. He never felt like this before, this anticipation, this longing for someone. He felt indulgent towards her, to just watch her while she did her antics, the animated way she carried on talking as he would lounge across from her was something he dreamed of, but watching her talking to others gave him a sense of fulfillment, it brought a smile to his face; sense of well being within him.
He saw her face in the pool, the droplets of water on the plants he was watering. He had been wondering if this was love, if this was what he had wanted and had been missing in his life. If it was time to let the past be past and move on. Love could not hurt him, could it? It will not happen with him. What happened with his parents is not going to happen to him. He saw how happy his sister was. Even he could be. Even he deserved his share of happiness and who better to bring that but the person who was called that, Khushi. His Khushi. He smiled as he watered his plant.
"MMm Huh!" he heard his Nani clear her throat and he turned around.
"Jee Naniji'" He started thinking how he had started speaking like Khushi too. He has started the conversation with a "Jee". He was certainly losing it.
He smiled and that was caught by Nani and Anjali who asked, "Kyon hans rahe ho."
"Kuch nahi.." he schooled his features to the usual ASR but he knew that guy was slipping away from him.
He definitely lost his smile after what Nani and Anjali had to say about Khushi and NK and probable Rishta. What the' he almost blurted out. How do these harebrained ideas came into their head. But he felt better that they did not pick up on what he had inadvertently revealed. That he was not averse to a marriage between him and Khushi. Though unsure, he knew he was a long way from the man who did not want to get married. He was a changed man.
Now he had another issue on hand, NK and his infatuation for his girl. He was beyond rage, beyond anger or jealousy, he so wanted to smack one into NK's eyes as he sat there ogling her back and he had instinctively done what she had done so many months ago, opened her long tresses. He had wanted to get lost in her beauty and innocence and here he was playing the knight. He did not want that. Oh! who was he kidding, he wanted that and more. He wanted her for himself. To hide her from everyone, so that she could show him what love was all about. He wanted to discover that with her. Her smile beguiled him, her talks enthralled him and her antics amused him. He seemed to be enraptured by her innocence and bowed to her street smart mind. She was his worthy adversary when they clashed and he wondered what it would be like to hold her in his arms, to fuse himself with her, head to toe. He felt a wave of desire start that threatened to turn into a tsunami of emotions that would drown him.
He had to get to her. He called her number several times but her phone was here itself in Raizada house and Anjali Di told him that with glee it seemed. What was it with everyone? Why did people suddenly want to pair Khushi and Nk? Why did they not see how he felt? How Khushi felt. But then she seemed totally unaware of the affection NK harbored.
He announced to Di that he was going to see what was delaying them and was happy when Di did not contradict him. Anyway, people rarely did, he smirked at the arrogant thought. But what the' he was a man who knew what he wanted and this time he was not going to let Khushi Kumari Gupta get the better of him. She makes the whole thing as a game, a win-lose situation between them and he needs to know if she kissed him just because of the challenge or was there more to it? There better be more to it, he mused then rethought, of course there is more to it. She feels the same way I do and tonight she will admit it.
He reached Khushi's home just as NK and she were about to lock the doors. He squealed the tires to a stop and jumped out of the jeep to tell NK, "tum jao with the ghee, there is something else that also needs to be brought back, which both of us will bring, go fast, they are waiting for this." With that he almost pushed NK towards the other car and waited till he drove away before he turned towards Khushi who stood there dumbstruck.
"Kya hua?" she asked in a high pitched voice, clearly worried that there was an emergency.
"Kuch nahi." He replied unhurriedly, almost sauntering towards her where she stood near the doors with lock in her hand.
"Aap kuch keh rahe the Nanneji ko, ki kuch aur chahiye? Kya le jaana hai?" Khushi asked bewildered at the change from a rushed Arnav to almost easy going one who was walking like a panther on a hunt.
"Haan le toh jaana hai, par itni bhi jaldi nahi hai." Arnav said cryptically.
"Huh!" Khushi asked frowning.
"Chalo andar, tumko hi toh'" Arnav left it incomplete.
"Kya?" Khushi persisted.
"Andar chalo dikhata hoon." Arnav opened the doors and held her elbow to guide her inside. He closed the doors and locked it.
"Ye kya'" Khushi started only to have him place his finger on her lips and say, "Shh'." as he trapped her between the door and him.
"Pehli baat, tum phir se kabhi NK ya kisi aur ke saath akele kahin nahi jaaoge samjhi tum." Arnav gave his diktat.
Khushi about to speak he pressed his finger firmly against her lips, which were still there. He looked into her eyes and said, "aur ab jo tumse mein jaan na chahta hoon, Kya tumne mujhe challenge ki wajah se kiss kiya tha, ya' kuch aur baat hai'.?" Arnav paused before he completed his sentence for he saw her eyes change multitude of emotions from amazement to bewilderment to hesitation. So, he added to help her, "Tumhein kya lagta hai, meine sirft tumhein haraane ke liye, kiss kiya tha?"
"Woh'" Khushi parted her lips with his finger still against it and stopped as his finger traced her lips from one end to another..
"Haan' mein sunn raha hoon'" Arnav replied thickly looking at her lips.
Khushi then brought her other hand to remove his, only to have it held by his with his fingers lacing through hers.
"Bolo Khushi'" Arnav prodded, looking at her intently.
"Mujhe ' Nahi ' Pata'" Khushi averted her eyes from his only to have him lift her chin with his index finger and thumb and whispered, "Sachchi' tumhein nahi pata?"
Khushi mutely shook her head slowly too mesmerized by the look in his eyes to deny herself the melting that was starting to take place. "Kya tumhein nahi pata, jab tum mujhe aise dekhti ho toh kya hota hai mujhe?" Arnav asked and leaned closer into her.
She shook her head yet again.
"Kya tumhein nahi pata, jab mein ye karta hoon'" Arnav nuzzles her neck, " toh kyoon kiya hia'"
Khushi still entranced, just shook her head, but her eyes were closed, her head back against the door and she was a pliant putty in his arms as he leaned into her. He then placed her arm around his neck and put the free arm around her waist to support her and the other hand around her neck. Khushi suddenly realising what was happening as if out of a trance, tried to push him away when he said, "Agar mujhe challenge ke liye tumne tab kiss kiya tha' toh bol do' toh mein chup chap yahan se chala jaaonga' agar nahi'toh' tumhein abhi' shart poori karni hai'"
Khushi suddenly all fiesty, tilts her head and pushes him away to say, "Humne shart poori kar li, waise bhi hum jeete the, toh aapko karna hai jo hum kaheinge."
Arnav smiles at her and say, "Theek hai, toh bolo mujhe kya karna hai'" again lessening the distance between them.
"Woh' Woh'" Khushi starts unable to continue as Arnav pulls her into his arms and says, "Kyon darr gayee?"
"Na' Nahii'" Khushi mutters and then without thinking plants a kiss on his lips.
Just when she was about to pull away, he pulls her back in his arms and takes her lips in his and kisses her soundly.
Khushi's hands found themselves in his hair as the kiss deepened and then, Arnav's phone rang.
I Want To Know What Love Is Lyrics
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me
Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...
