IPKKND SS : Roads To Confession{Part 3 pg 25} - Page 10

"Areey Sanka Devi go get some tea for all" instructed Buaji to a lost Khushi, who had been woken up from her slumber minutes ago. She always knew Laad Governor was a Laad Governor but today was the heights of it. I mean seriously he could have woken her up in a decent civilized manner but no when it comes to Khushi Kumari Gupta his never decent. Oh well yeah at times but only for few seconds.

Arnav amusingly stared at the structure leaning against the couch, with head hanging down in a sleepy manner before a monster named Buaji spanked it and the structure terribly annoyed rubbed her arm. A tiny smile occurred from the corner of his lips rethinking about their previous argument. He had been telling her that he tried to wake her up in a decent manner but she didn't care to wake up. Thus he had to raise his tone but when did Khushi ever listen to him.

Yawning for the fifth time, Khushi walked off like a Zombie into the kitchen to make tea that no one expect her needed the most at the moment. At the same time Arnav worriedly got up to accompany her because who knows what she will make them drink in that state. Getting several stares from other family members for getting up like that, he quickly made an excuse to wash his hands.

"Just because I'm half dozed off doesn't mean I can't sense you" mutter Khushi and smiled when she side glanced a slightly shocked Arnav behind her. "How.." he began but immediately took it back and shifted silently to stand beside her. "You should take some rest. I can order tea and snacks from outside" he insisted gripping her elbow and slightly turning her in a delicate manner as if she was going to fall any moment. "Hmm says the person who woke me up in the middle of my sweet sleep" came the playful reply but soon the humor fired back at her when he moved closer still holding on to her elbow. "Did you expect me to carry you to your bed then?" giving a taste of his own humor. Khushi blankly stared into the layer of glint in his eyes when "SANKA DEVI" thunder interrupted them and she pulled herself back.

"Y-You should go back" she stammered, hesitantly pouring the tea into cups carefully. "No" was the stern and straight reply that forced her to look back at him. Seeing that he had settled himself near the counter Khushi shook her head in disbelieve and lifted up the tray of cups. "Fine then stay here" with her chin up she walked off with a little swing in her body that almost made him chuckle. Drama runs in her blood.

"Khushi? Where is Arnav bitwa?" asked a concerned Garima peeping over Khushi's shoulder to see if he was coming. "Maybe he's lost go check" suggested Buaji while Khushi felt like hitting her head hard for their lameness. "This is not some kingdom for people to get lost" she mumbled walking towards the kitchen to see what this unpredictable guy was up to."Arnavji..?"calling out she leaned forward into the kitchen but tracing no sign of him there, Khushi moved away towards her room to check if he had actually gotten lost. "Arr'" she stopped midway hearing the door behind her close with a soft noise and already guessing who closed it her heartbeat took a different pace all together. "Looking for me" he smirked leaning back on the door with his hands crossed over his chest, enjoying her stiffened back. Realizing she was trapped in a room, locked room, with a man, with her family around Khushi turned around in a swift still nervous but determined. "AAP? What are doing?" demanded a furious Khushi not daring to move forward an inch. "What do you think I'm doing?" teased Arnav making use of her nervousness by inching forward and of course the smirk was still evident.

"I-I.." fumbled Khushi stepping backwards, avoiding his gaze to calm her racing heart. His advancing steps made torturous flips in her stomach that caused her to take hers back faster. "Go on Khushi.." taking bigger steps due to her fastened steps and glancing at something behind her, a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. Before she could take any more steps, her calves' hit the bed flaunting her backwards flat on the bed.

This was definitely the most awkward position she could have put herself in. Khushi struggled back up and as she came up her body froze. Arnav had his face bent down inches away from hers. He leaned in closer till he could feel her breathe on his lips. "PPlease oopen the door" pleaded Khushi in her soft voice while her eyes indicated there are people around in the house. But ignoring her protests he pressed both his arms on either side of the bed trapping Khushi in between. Understanding the trap Khushi snapped her eyes to meet his, gulping down she questioned him through her eyes. "Have coffee with me.." was the husky demand laid out to Khushi leaving her a little baffled. "W-Whaaat?" she gasped trying to make sense. "Yes or No Khushi?" pressing closer while she moved back glancing side way. "I dooon't liiike coffee" she managed avoiding his penetrating stare.

"Will tea work?" getting a little impatient he insisted advancing closer to read her expression that only showed shyness mixed with nervousness. "Yes.." was the whispered answer which made his heart skip a beat not sure why though.

Suddenly standing up straight he fixed his clothes, "Okay then I'll pick you up tomorrow at 4pm" casually informed Arnav as if fixing a business meeting, but his smile said something else. "Don't be late" he called back before opening the door at a shocked Khushi who was still lying on bed. As soon as he was gone "What The?!" were the only words she split out blankly.
