Hiya,
thanks again for readin my OS .. and for all the lovely comments... Hope to keep up to your likings ...
Chapter 2
There was a change in the air that night... which did not go unnoticed by him.
Khushi no more looked at him with the same old questioning look, hoping that he may blurt it out... but the sadness in her eyes expressed so many things which he wished was never there ...he always felt helpless having to see his loved one hurt this way...
she did not wait for him that night and had already taken to the couch with her back facing him... he tried his provocative ways to get her to speak or atleast look at him... but she only ignored him...
Khushi had barely slept that night, all the while thinking of the gud moments they had shared together only for it to have got washed away with a misunderstanding...
she cursed herself for not having confided in him at the right time... she awaited to tell this to her jiji ...
The next morning started off with aarti and all except arnav present for the same.
Nani: Khusi bitiya ... chotte naahin aaye?
Khushi: Just looked at her with obivious kinda looks,... nn nai woh!!
Nani: aaj apki is ghar maa pehi holi hey .. aur apan dono ko eeha pooja main honeka padi... HP jayiye aur chotte ko bulayiye.
Arnav comes down unwillingly and stands behind khushi...
after arti all the couples take blessings from the elders applying a pinch of holi colour on the feet...
Arnav starts walking up to his room and asks Anjali to send his bfast to his room through HP.
Anjali snaps back.
Anjali: chotte kam se kam aaj ke din toh sabke saat baithke naashta kijiye.
Arnav: Nahin di .. mujhe kuch kaam hey... (he had avoided siting with the family ever since the day they had got married ... fearing that any such gathering would always lead to the infamous question)
While going back he collided with Shyam.. whose eyes shared mutual looks - Hatred ...they both got distracted when they heard khushi's voice as she spoke to payal to pass on the pooris..
Shyam with his ugly smirk looked back at arnav and walked towards the dinning table where the rest of the family had gathered. He chose to sit between anjali and khushi, tho there was a seat next to anjali on the other side...
Khushi knew exactly what was going on and got up immediately reminding others that she forgot to get something.
Arnav was watching all of this and decided to have his bfast along with others... he gestured to khushi pulling out the seat next to his when he saw her return back to the table.
Khushi felt relieved.
Soon the guests started pouring in and were asked to move to the terrace where the celebrations were to be held...
Colours were smeared on each other offcourse arnav being a silent spectator walking around talking on his bluetooth..
khushi seemed a bit happier seeing her jiji and jiju having a good time only to have the view distracted ..
Shyam: Khushiji... Holi mubarak ho ... aaj aap pe toh sabse pehle sirf hamara rang chadega
she tried to ignore him and walk away but was blocked again... this time anjali joins in ...
Anjali: Arrey aap hamare bhabhi ko kyun satah rahe ho... (smiles)
Shyam: arey Rani Sahiba aap.. kuch nahin hum toh bas yeh keh rahey they ki aaj inki pehli holi hey aur yeh aise akele? zara dekhiye toh inka chehara kitna saaf hey...isiliye thodi si holi ka rang lagana chahte hey... (he tries to smear it on her)
Suddenly he stops seeing 2 strong hands pulling khushi back..
Arnav: (standing behind khushi with his hands on her shoulder) Koi baat nahi jijaji ... maine apne biwi pe toh pehle se hi apna pyaar ka rang chadha diya hey... toh ab holi ka bhi chadha doonga..
(With his left hand across her chest reaching her right shoulder ...pulls her towards him causing her back to rest on his chest... with his other hand in a seducing manner smears her cheeks with pink ...)
(Anjali Giggles and holds onto her husbands arms)
Arnav: (turns her to face him)
holi mubarak ho khushi... (in a husky voice)
Her heart jumping with joy at his touch and the flirtish eyes that looked at her reminding her of the times they shared during the marraige preparations ... she was carried away with the thoughts until she was jolted and brought back to reality...
Arnav: (again in a husky voice)Khushi ... mujhpe rang nahin dalogi?(he smirks and looks in the direction of shyam whose nose by then flaring up to the maximum possible extent)
(Khushi knew what arnav was upto ... thou in reality she was no way allowed to stay close to his life, tho she wished that all the pretence never existed between them and instead had turned to reality... she knew that even this thought would laugh at her for being thot abt this way.. she smiled at herself in her mind..nevertheless she would atleast give her 100% in helping arnav with what he started...and play along...she took some colour outta the thali that shyam held ... with a playful mood smeared it on arnav
Khushi: Aapko bhi holi mubarakk ho mere patidev( hugs him with a cute giggle)
(Arnav hugs her back holding onto her waist and pulling her more closer... with a smirk at which Shyam walks aways from there removing anjali's hands from his arms...)
anjali as usual ignorant of what was going on... teased her brother...
Anjali: ab tum dono yunhi ek doosre ko aise mubarak baat dete rahoge ya sabke sath holi bhi khelenge? (giggles nodding her head and walks away to sit with nani)
(They break the hug reluctantly... both knowing the fact that even if it was a show of pretance, it was the first time they had hugged ...
~~~~Rrabba ve~~~~~
... their eyes speaking to each other questioning - did it have to happen to them? y ?y ? they were forced to break the eyelock when music started blarring from the streo sys )
Song i had in mind was the one from DARR - 'ang se ang milana sajan hume aise rang lagana...)
Aakash got into a playful mood and dragged his wife into his arms to dance to the tunes of the song smearing and splashing cloured water ...
Payal ran towards Khushi to save herself and the water Akash was carrying chasing his wife .. threw it on Khushi instead ... Khushi was shell shocked and her mouth formed a perfect 'o' ... that was it... khushi was not to spare her jijaji for this... so took a bucket full of water and chased aakash... she had almost cornered him and so threw the water with full force ... only to find arnav completely drenched...
everyone stood still ... fearing what was next... arnav breathing heavily staring non stop at khushi... which was enuf to send her shivers down her spine... she prayed
'Hey Devi Maiyya ... Ab toh yeh hamari chutney bana daalenge... raksha karna devi maiyya'
He walked with fury towards her .. pulled her by her hand.. everybody just hoping he should not create a scene ... he took some colour in his hand and smeared it on both his cheeks ... no one were to understand what he was upto now...
khushi just gave him all confused looks and looked at others to see if anyone could save her...
He pulled her hard towards him and held her cold wet petite figure completely in his arms...with their faces just inches apart...
his face suddenly changes to one of the teasing ones... and bringing a slight smile on his lips, (eyelock)
~~Rabba Ve~~~
He bent forwards and rubbed his cheeks on hers on either side ... and then slowly moving down to her neck... she had closed her eyes by then and was begining to enjoy the effect this was having on her... arnav very much aware of what this was doing to her ... and more than that what he was feeling too...
khushi suddenly opened her eyes in a flash .. when she heard all the hooting and howling ... she pushed him away and ran to her jiji feeling completely embarassed in front of the entire family... she was too embarassed to face him... she was already blushing and cheeks grew red darker than the shade of the color smeared on her cheeks..she felt as if the time had moved back to the days when it all started .. she shyly turned her head back to look in the direction where he was(blushing) only to find him give a dirty smirk back at Shyam...
Shyam not able to take it anymore ... moved from the place...
She suddenly was brought back to the real world... where there was no love but just hatred... how could she even think - even if it was for a fraction of second, that this could all be true... she was experiencing a hell of emotional turmoil within her ... her eyes brimmed up ... and she ran for cover...
Arnav followed her .. spoke to her from behind ensuring no one arnd
Arnav: wakay mein .. .drama achi tarah se kar leti ho tum...
Khushi Stopped in her tracks...looks at him with a saddened face.. not able to ans back...
Arnav: (held her by her shoulder.. gritting his teeth )dekh kya rahee ho... sach hi toh keh raha hoon... tumhe dekh ke koi nahin keh sakta hi asal mein tum kaun ho.. aur kya chahti ho... .. pushed her away... and walks back from there)
Anjali: HPji ... HPji... zara woh lassi wale glasses le aayiye..
Shyam stopped at his tracks when he saw HP carrying the tray of lassi...
he stopped him and asked him to leave ...
He was carefully carrying the tray his gaze fixed on one of the glass alone... when anjali pulled him to introduce him to one of her frnd forcing him to leave the tray on the side table ... shyam tried refusing but all in vain... Anjali said she will take care of handing the glasses to people... Shyam was stuck to the guest...
Just when anjali was abt to pick up the tray she saw khushi walking in looking all weak as if to faint ...
Anjali: Khushiji ... Kya hua .. aap theek toh hey na?
Khushi: Kuch nahin anjaliji hum theek hey.. shayad bhook ki wajah se chakkar aa rahe hey...
Anjali: hey bhagwaan ... aap idhar aaeye ... aur yeh lijiye ... yeh lassi pee lijiye ... (she ensures khushi finishes it).. ab kaisa lag raha hey?
khushi: hmmm kuch ... theek ... hum zara yahi bait jatey hey thodi ger... aap jayeye anjaliji ... hum theek hey...
Anjali: theek hey ... hum payalji ko bhej dete hey...aap yahee pe rehna...
Anjali walks with the tray in her hand to hand over a glass to shyam ...
Shyam notices that one glass is missing ... he panics...
Shyam: Rani Sahiba ... ismein toh ek glass missing hey...
Anjali: haan woh humne khushiji ko de di.. unhe bhook ke maare chakkar aa rahe they.. toh(she is cut off)
Arnav walks towards them .. shyams back facing him
Shyam: (holds anjali by her shoulder) Kya .. aapne khushiji ko? panic written on his face and his voice.) aapne kyun kiya aisa?
Anjali:(Confused) humne kya kiya ... aur aap aise ghabraye hue kyun hey?
Arnav trying to listen to what he has to say...
Shyam: realizes his expressions.. and corrects them... woh woh humne us glass mein ... saale saab ke liye sugarfree wala lassee dale they... toh bass ...(his eyes wandering here and there)
Anjali : ufff .. bass itni si baat ... aapne toh hamari jaan hi nikal di thi... chotte ke liye wahi sugarfree wala lassee dobara bann jayega... ismein kya kya .. kyon hai na Chotte?
Arnav: (looks at shyam)uh haan ...
(He knew there was something fishy... he made a drink for him and was upset that khushi took it instead?)
Arnav: Di ... Di khushi kahan hey?
Anjali: woh payalji ke saat wahan baithi hui hey...
Arnav: theek hey main dekhta hoon...
He reaches there and is shocked at the sight that he was witnessing
