Khushi stood in her dimly lit room...
Her thoughts completely jumbled...
Her heart beating wildly...
She lifted her fingers to her damp lips...
"Did he just...?"
She shook her head in disbelief...
"what? What was that? Why did he?"
she could still feel his muscular arms around her... his firm fingers pressing into her hair...
the anger and passion of the kiss sent powerful tremors through her limbs...
Khushi had to sit down on the bed quickly to relieve her wobbling knees...
...
Payal knocked and entered her room..."Khushi???"
Khushi tried to shake off the new sensations that kept pulsing through her...
"It's time for our evening meal...are you coming?"
Khushi nodded and followed her sister...
...
Arnav had stormed off downstairs...
His heart was beating erratically...
His nerves were like raw live wires...
"Chote?"
He stopped briskly in front of his sister...
"what happened? Are you okay?"
Arnav could hardly think straight let alone talk properly...
"I ... I have to..."
"You have to come to have dinner..." Anjali commanded...
"I just...i mean...we just..." Arnav pulled at his collar...
"it's okay...Payalji has gone to fetch Khushiji..."
There is was again...and electric shock pulsed through him at the mention of her name...
He followed Anjali to the table...
"So is everyone enjoying Khushiji's food??? You know...KKGSR Tiffin Service..." Anajli smiled heartily...
"She has been working so hard...getting up before everyone...we don't even see her in the morning now...when she does get home she immediately starts preparing for the next day of business...I'm actually a bit concerned for her...Chote, Please make sure she's getting enough rest...She will make herself ill if she works too hard..."
Anjali looked over at Arnav...
He was lost in his thoughts...
He recalled how she had made sugarfree food for him especially...
Arnav remembered her beaming smile as she served the food...
Her smile...
Now his mind wandered back to her lips...
As he was replaying the kiss they just shared, Arnav looked up to the top of the stairs and saw Khushi descending with Payal...
My God, this woman had the cutest, sweetest face he had ever laid eyes on...
His focus now locked onto her lips.
They were trembling ever so slightly.
Arnav felt the world tilt just a fraction, he wanted to follow that irresistible pull and enjoy the silky softness of that delectable mouth.
As Khushi got closer...she saw his eyes on her...
They were both reliving that same moment...
That moment when his lips sought hers...
When their hands searched for each others body...
The strength of their emotion...
The heightened exposure of anger...
The sudden burst of mutual desire...
"Chote?" This jolted him out of his trance...
Arnav stood up fast, "Di, i'll eat in my room..."
"What? Chote, we are all here now...and i was talking to you..."
"I need to finalize some business..." he stormed off...ignoring Khushi completely as she walked past him...
...
Sometime later, Khushi drowsily entered their room...
Arnav was sitting on his couch absorbed in his laptop work...
Khushi was feeling tired...
Exhausted from a long day of working for her new business...
She quietly walked past Arnav...
There was a constant voice in her head saying, "Talk to him! Ask him what that meant! Ask him now!"
But her body was tired...her head was starting to throb with the onset of a headache...
She gathered her night clothes and went in the bathroom to change...
Her head was spinning from weariness...
Khushi came sauntering out talking to herself...making lists of all the things she had to do for the next day...suddenly, she stopped in her tracks... Looking around...the room started spinning...
Arnav was still sitting on the couch feigning work...
"A...Ar...Arnavji?" she stammered
Arnav growled..."Shut up Khushi...I'm working. I don't want to talk to you."
Khushi hardly heard a word he said...
Everything sounded fuzzy...
She held her head and tried to get his attention once more..."P...Pl...Pleeaasee Arnavvvji..."
He shifted further around so he wouldn't have to face her...
But his widening eyes caught her reflection in the window...
And his heart stopped as he saw her tumble to the floor...
Faster than the speed of light, Arnav spun around and ran to her..."Khushi!!!"
