OS----HOLI IN THE POOL!!!

please read and leave ur comments...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

khushi was leading a sad life..

sleeping on the poolside on alternate nights...parents disowning..naniji and anjali not giving the love she expected...mamis taunts and arnavs behaviour..

but she being herself the thought of holi brightened her smile "kal holi hai..kal sab alag aur rang biranga hoga..."she thought while lying down at her place..

she looked at the stars.."holi ki shubhkamnayen amma bauji.."

she smiled and slept..

next morning she got up early with full excitement that shell play holi with everyone and make them forget the grudges they held against her.

she went inside the room and saw arnav all ready in his waistcoat..looking for his coat"jabse ye ladki ayi hai mera saara samaan idhar se udhar karke rakh diya hai.."

khushi "kya ho gaya?subah subah hume bura bhala kyun keh rahe hain..apka coat hariprakash ji ko press karne ke liye diya tha..woh abhi la denge..aur waise bhi ap itna tayyar kyun ho rae hain..aj holi hai.."

arnav "meri foriegn clients k sath teleconference hai..aur waise bhi ye holi me mera kya kaam"

khushi made a face and went to the wardrobe to take her saree and all her things were messed up..she looked questioningly at arnav..

arnav was already looking at her coz he knew that this was coming..."woh mujhe laga kahin tumne mujhe pareshan karne k liye mera coat chupa toh nahi diya.."

khushi amazed "apko kya lagta hai hum..."

she was interupted by arnavs mobile ring..arnav gave a relieved expression "ya aman temme"

he indicated with actions that they were getting late..and he moved to the poolside to continue his call with aman..

khushi went inside the bathroom irritated...

she came out dressed in a plain white saree..her wet hair which she was drying with a towel..

arnav finished his call and came inside and saw that she looked absolutely divine in white..sans makeup..sans any jewellery..

he stared at her...which she saw through the mirror.."hume bas 5 minute lagenge.."

arnav came out of the trance..."make it fast khushi" in a stern voice..

-------------------------------------------------------

they went down...

raizada mansion was filled with people and even the guptas were there..

khushi saw them and gave a wide smile..they turned their backs towards her which made her smile fade away..

arnav hated to see it and whispered "khushi sab thik ho jaega"he didnt know y he said it..

khushi "hume apke sath aur dilase ki koi zarurat nahi hai,waise bhi ye sab apki wajah se hua hai.."she sai angrily..

nk "are khushiji ap aa gaye?mai apka kabse iqrar kar raha tha.."

khushi(smiled) "are nanhe ji ..happy holi..!!aur iqraar nahi intezaar "

arnav hated the emotion which he felt..

he just moved away from them..

nk"chaliye khushiji hum holi khelte hain.."

khushi "bas nanheji hume boht pyaas lag rahi hai hum 2 min me kitchen se paani peekar aye.."

nk"are uski koi zarurat nahi hai..ap ye pijiye*enters the famous bhang*

khushi hesitated but nk convinced her..

she downed it in one go..."acha hai..,chaliye.."

when they reached outside all the youngsters and mamiji were full of color..

she loved that site..

but before she could be a part of the celebration

mamiji "phati sarreee tumhara pati kaha hai..hamra matlab hai arnav bitwa..?"

khushi "woh mamiji unhe kuch kam tha..isliye w..woh.."

and then she felt someones hand on her waist ..

arnav "mai yahin hu khushi.."he applied red gulaal on her cheek.."happy holi wifey"

khushi was shocked but by this time she knew that he always acted wierd in front of family members..

mamijis jaw dropped and she went away "hello hi bye bye.."

khushi "aap aur holi ke jashan me?"

arnav moving towards her and whispered in his husky voice "kyun,mai apni biwi k liye itna nahi kar sakta?"and entwined her hand in his..

khushi "ab toh yaha koi nahi hai..ap aise bat kyun kar rahe hain..?"

nk and akash came and told khushi "are khushiji chaliye..aur ye pijiye.."they gave her one more glass wen they realised one glass made no difference to her..

arnav knew wat it was coz he already had drunk 5 to 6 glasses..he tried to stop her but she ignored him and drank 2-3 glasses..

all of them started playing holi..khushi came close to arnav and applied color on his face..

everybody was very happy seeing arnav there..anjali had seen chote playing holi first time after their mother died which made her really happy too..

everybody was enjoying a lot wen somebody while dancing stepped on khushis pallu which made the blouse tear a little where it was tucked with a safety pin..

she got hold of arnav both of them not able to stand straight.."hum abhi ate hain.."

she went inside..up to her room..

she was looking at her reflection in the mirror to check wat happened to her saree.."haawww..ye kya ho gaya.?"she said keeping her hand on her mouth like a little kid..

arnav had followed her..

she heard the door lock and was surprised to see him there.."aaa..aapp??"

he could not stand..he somehow made it to the bed..and sat there rather fell on the bed..

"haan ye mera kamra hai..mera jab man hoga tab mai aunga.."he said in a funny voice..

khushi giggled..

khushi "ap aise kyun bat kar rahe hain..?aur aj apki baari hai bahar sone ki hamari nahi..toh ap bistar chodiye aur jaiye yaha se.."

(they didnt realise that it was stilll daytime)

khushi "nahi toh hum kaha soenge?"

arnav gestured by hand and told her to come and sit by his side..

she went there and sat on the bed.."tum..tum aur mai dono is bistar pe so jaenge.."

khushi "devi maiyya suna apne..nahiii..hum aisa nahi hone denge..."

arnav "are tum meri patni ho khushi.."

she stood up and by pulling him made him stand too..

"nahi..chaliye bahar chaliye.."she pushed him outside..

he pulled her along with him..

when they were near the pool khushi looked in his eyes and started crying.."ap itne ache hain..fir apne hamare sath aisa kyun kiya?"

arnav "tumne mera sath aisa kyun kiya?maine tumhe itna pyar kiya aur tumne mujhe dhokha diya..tumne .."

khushi "ssshhh...suna apne..??"

arnav "kya??mujhe toh kuch sunai nahi de raha.."

khushi "are dhyan se suniye na..apko koi awaz nahi aa rahi..hamare dil ke dhak dhak ki..?"

arnav "nahi..ruko..mujhe paas ake sunne do.."he came near and placed his ear on her heart to hear the heartbeat.."dhak dhak dhak dhak"

khushi jerkrd as he came so close..she pushed him and moved backward only to fall inside the pool along with arnav..

when they were in the water..they both started laughing..

khushi "dekha dekha ap pas hote ho toh kya ho jata hai.."

arnav inside the pool moving towards her "kyun mere pas ane se tumhe kya farak padhta hai khushi?"

she now took his hand and placed it on her heart and said "hamara dil zoron se dhadakne lagta hai..dhadkane aur tez daudne lagti hain..aisa kyun hota hai..??"

he moved forward and said cupping her face "jab mai tumhare pas ata hoon toh hamare dil ki dhdkane mil jati hain aur isliye itna tez daudti hain"

khushi giggled "aisa thodi na hota hai.."

khushi suddenly.."apko pata hai hum pool me hain..hume thand lag rahi hai.."

arnav "chalo bahar chalte hain.."

wen khushi started goin out..arnav splashed water on her ..she turned and both of them started splashing water on each other..then arnav tightly held her wrist..and moved towards her and embraced her in a tight hug...khushi responded too and raised her hand to put them around arnavs neck..

they hugged each other and started crying...

khushi "humse koi pyar nahi karta humpe koi vishwas nahi karta..."

arnav "mai karta hoon..aur abse mai tumpe vishwas bhi karta hoon.."

then they came out of the pool drenched in water and arnav sneezed

khushi "apko sardi ho gai..mai towel leke ati hoon.."

she coudnt find his so brought the one she used in the morning..

she started drying his hair...

he loved the smell of the towel coz it smelled of her..

she told him to change "chalie kapde badal lijiye hum bhi badal lete hain.."

they both changed their clothes and realised wat had happened as the bhang effect had reduced a little..

they were feeling dizzy..tired so they decided not to go down.

arnav lied down on the bed and khushi too...

arnav held her hand "im sorry"

khushi "hum apse boht pyar karte hain"

they looked at each other and amiled and slowly fell asleep on the same bed holding hands..

Good write up just a small correction Mami calls Kushi phatti saadi not khoon bhari taang. I think you wrote that by mistake.
