Ch10- Being In Love
NOTE- When Arnav let go of Khushi, everything between them ended, he even gave her a divorce and right now they are two people who have decided to start afresh, so this was just to clear the confusion whether they are still married.
Please Listen to the song while reading or after reading the whole thing.

Arnav and Khushi were seated at the dinner table, lost and enchanted by this new feeling, they were learning things about each other that they were not aware of previously inspite of crossing each others paths so many times and living together for six months. They were slowly absorbing the changes in each other and the changes in their lives, they were giving themselves another chance.
'Mr. Khanna piles all the file work on my head and then he expects me to complete it all in a day, that man is such an ass!' Khushi whined, she had a hard day at work and even though she loved working, the extra long hours just got to her sometimes. Arnav pursed his lips together and tried to look sympathetic instead of laughing aloud at a pouting Khushi, she poked his arm and said 'Stop! Don't you dare laugh or I'm gonna strangle you' she warned with a pissed off look on her face.
Arnav smiled at her and filled her plate again hoping the food would brighten her mood, she looked very beautiful even when she was angry and the red dress and soft flowing hair made her look even more gorgeous, he was having a tough time keeping his heart beat steady when she was near. Their regular dinners, endless conversations were now bringing back all the love that they had given up and hidden 5 years ago, she was becoming more deeply embedded in his heart, if that was even possible and he was loving being next to her. He was going to give her all the happiness of being in love and this time things were going to be different and new.
They walked out after having dinner, hand in hand and towards the car. Arnav drove away to the beach and Khushi just squealed in glee, she did not want to go home when the weather was just so perfect outside.
They walked by the water, the wind caressing her hair and making her look heavenly, he glanced at her and felt his heart skip a beat, she was just so beautiful in every way. 'Khushi' he asked, 'Hmmm' she said allowing herself to be lost in the magical winds and the drawing sounds of the sea, ' Don't you wanna come back to Delhi, meet everyone, they haven't seen you since 5 years and I feel guilty that my foolishness has drawn you apart from them' he asked her gently, looking into her eyes and trying to find out what she was thinking.
'Arnav, I miss them and I want to meet them but so many things have changed in the past years and this time I don't want to make the mistake of jumping head along into things, it takes time to move on and I think I'm ready to move on but what I want now is to spend time with you, what happened five years ago left us both devastated and now when we have another chance to start afresh, I want to be with you and try and erase every distance that existed between us'
Arnav looked down at her and smiled knowing that she wanted them to be together as much as he did and she too wanted to rebuild what they had crushed and they needed time together to heal the past wounds and make everything new, meeting the family right now might may cause things to move too fast and in the process might damage and open up a few old wounds, they needed to make themselves strong and their relationship strong before meeting the family and providing answers.
Arnav smiled down at how she could be so crazy yet so wise and his heart filled with warmth at knowing that they were together. He swooped her in his arms and swirled her around and then he suddenly had a mischievous smile on his face while she continued to laugh out loud oblivious to his thoughts, he deposited her on the ground as a roaring wave rolled over her, totally drenching her, she spat out salt water and yelled 'What the hell is wrong with you, you obnoxious, stupid, foolish, cracked up, mad RAKSHASS!!'.She got up and ran after a laughing Arnav, trying to not fall down, 'You stupid ass, stop running will you!' she yelled again, trying to catch up, in the whole running on wet sand process she slipped and fell hard on her butt and glared angrily at a laughing Arnav who's laughter disappeared seeing the furious look in her eyes, he slowly walked towards her and offered his hand, if looks could kill Arnav would be dead by now and his mind started processing ways of apologizing but suddenly he was pulled down and he found himself looking up at a smirking Khushi as a wave washed over him and leaving him covered in water and wet sand, her laughter mesmerized him, it was like a song to his ears and seeing her jumping around like she had conquered the world put an amused smile on his face.
That's when he realized he must be looking like some love sick idiot and he pulled her down hastily pinning her to the sand watching her mouth form a perfect 'O' , he wanted to laugh out at the surprised look on her face. He was grinning down at her and they both ended up laughing at their crazy antics. They were crazily in love and in love even the most foolish things you do suddenly seems beautiful.
He noticed how the moonlight danced in her eyes, her hair sticking to the sides of her face and her gentle smile, he realized again how lucky he was, he was losing himself in her and was loving what they shared. He bent down, closed his eyes and kissed her senseless, moving his mouth over her and coaxing her mouth open with his tongue, her taste was intoxicating and their heartbeats sounded like echoes blending together as their mouths moved in passion and love. She softly moaned and clutched his shirt pulling him more closer and trying to erase all boundaries and distances. He softly kissed her neck, her shoulders, leaving behind a trail of moisture and then slowly lifted his mouth to hers again. Breathlessly they smiled at each other, wondering how crazy they were to forget that they were in a beach, luckily no one was around. He pulled her up and ran his hand through his hair and looked down at her flushed face, he smiled at how lovely she looked under the moonlight, her eyes sparkling the same way they had before 5 years. He held her hand and they walked back together, bathing themselves in the feeling of being in love, being together.
