After the Confession:
Part 1 - Night after Holi
Khushi entered the room deep in her thoughts, wondering what Shyam meant by Khushi spilling the beans under the influence of bhang..'Kahi humne unhe apni shaadi ka raj toh nahin bata diya?...'
She walked straight to Arnav who was working on his laptop but was observing Khushi's face carefully - - - 'What is she thinking about? Does she remember what happened after the bhang?...' But Khushi was busy with her own thoughts. She almost bumped in Arnav, "Ae, Arnaav jii...I am sorry, I was not paying attention." "Khushi, tum thik toh ho na? Are you alright?" Arnav asked worried. "Hum Hum ...Hum thik hai...I am alright."
Khushi walked straight over to the poolside and sat next to the chaise. Hands wrapped around her knees, her chin resting on her knees and her beautiful eyes searching for answers in the blue water of the pool...Arnav could not resist staring at her. 'She is so beautiful..'as soon as his mind said that, something stirred inside him. Why did it feel like he might have said that outloud? Did he say it earlier? Oh no...Arnav became restless...That's not how he would want to let Khushi know how he feels about her..this thought gave him a jolt from inside.."What the.." how could I think like that. I cannot be thinking like that ...six months...six months..this thought made him more confused. He felt frustrated as he could not figure out clearly what was happening to him. He looked at Khushi again - tears trickling down her eyes...Arnav slowly got up and walked up to Khushi. He kneeled down next to her but she did not notice him.
"Khushi...Khushi...," Arnav called her more than once as she seemed to be far from listening to his voice..tears still trickling down her eyes. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at him. Those beautiful eyes of hers were full of tears and one just rolled down her cheek, Arnav extended his hand and gently wiped it away. "Kya hua Khushi? What happened?" "Kuch nahin...pata nahin hume aisa kyon lag raha hai ki humne kuch kho diya hai ya phir hum samajh nahin pa rahe hai ki hume aisa kyon lag raha hai..." (Nothing..I do not know why I feel like I lost something or what is happening to me ...)
Arnav all of sudden had a urge to hold Khushi close to him, he almost extended his hand to hold her ...then he realized what he was about to do...He straightened, what was happening to him? Why was he behaving like this?
He then looked at Khushi and said, "Shayad bhang ki wajah se..most likely due to the bhang..See, I told you not to drink it. Anyway, why don't you lie down for a while?"
Khushi pulled the rug and started rolling it out after a lame 'Accha ..OK' in response to Arnav... Something did not feel right to Arnav as she rolled the rug (chatai). He looked at her and for the first time he realized...What was he doing? Why was he being so inappropriate asking her to sleep by poolside?
Another jolt came from inside him, he realized he was calmer and could think much clearly now. He just felt very ashamed of himself that he asked her to sleep outside on floor when he was comfortable in his own bed. If Didi and Nani found this out, they would lecture him over his sanskars...that would be appropriate too. He turned around and said, "Khushi, aaj se tum andar soya karo."
'Nahin arnavji, hum yahi thik hai (I am alright here)!"
"Khushi, mujhe bahas nahin chahiye, no arguments - jaisa main kah raha hoon, karo (Do as i say..). Andar chalo. Tum bed par so jao, main chaise par so jaunga..."
Khushi's mind was so tired, she just got up, walked slowly to the bed and just laid herself on the bed. She had no energy left.
Whe Arnav came out of bathroom, he saw the angelic face of Khushi in deep sleep. He could not help but admire her innocent face...He came over, covered her with the blanket. Then he laid himself on the chaise in the balnket. It was dark outside, the poolside still looking mystical with stars shining up in the sky, the cool breeze entering the room..the almost full moon up in the sky..He rolled over and saw Khushi sleeping, looking as beautiful as she always did while asleep. That sight of hers always mesmerised him...
He was busy admiring her face when felt a strong urge to go over and move the hair lock out of her face that was being blown by the breeze...
Just then, Khushi said in her sleep, "Arnav ji, aisa kyo hota hai? Aisa kyon hota hai...humare dil ki dhadkan tej kyo ho jati hai aap ke paas aane se?"
Arnav sat on the chaise bolt upright...
