ArHi FF- Bawari Piya Ki - Thread 3/ Link to thrd4 - Page 35

Khushi: Good evening! She wished him with a bright smile on her face.

Arnav stood at the door dumb folded as he couldn't process the right words to utter. He just looked at her shocked rooted at his place. It took him a few seconds to realize that he wasn't dreaming and she was actually in front of him all okay. Khushi came a little forward and took his jacket from his hand and then turned around expecting him to enter the apartment. She started blabbering about her day to Arnav without realizing that he hadn't moved an inch yet.

Khushi: How was your day? Thanks for the notes in the morning. I felt good seeing them or else I would have been hell worried to have not found you home.

Arnav: Where were you? He simply whispered with great effort trying to get something out.

Khushi: Oh! I had a really good day. I finished some work which Dad wanted me to do and then went to see a friend. Actually she's aunt Lintonbon's daughter. I used to visit aunty back in Delhi almost every day; she said in a low voice and then again continued excitedly. So I went to see her daughter, Krystle. You know even Krystle's husband is a lawyer. And they seem to be really happy together ...

Arnav wasn't listening anymore. His mind was filled with the horrifying images of the car and the sound of the disgusting laugh of the caller. What the hell had just happened? He looked back at Khushi who was standing in front of him smiling and telling him something with great excitement. But he couldn't hear a word.

Without a word, he came in, put his cold hands on her face and kissed her...

Khushi made a soft cry: Arnav! His mouth carried the flavor of rain and a decade of yearning, and Khushi reached for him wondering what his yearning was about? She tried understanding as she met the raging and paining kiss and those lips, the tongue that plunged into her mouth. Khushi caught his upper arms, and felt the tenseness of muscles beneath wet cotton. Arnav backed her against the wall and pressed his body into hers kissing her face, her chin, her throat and her mouth again; feeling every inch of her, checking if she was fine; feeling his life; living his life..again!

The sound of rain, the smell of hot earth, came in through the open door and the open glass window and with it a wind bearing raindrops that sprayed over her face and her hair. His clothes were wet, but they warmed as he pressed into her, warmed with the heat of her flesh. Khushi arched into him, put her arms around him, pulled him closer, Arnav didn't want to even think about what happened or if what he thought was true or just all a misunderstanding. The thought brought a jolt in him..

He was not sure, he was reassuring himself, feeling her more and more. All the incidents just flashed in front of him; all at once and he shuttered remembering them. His weeping was no longer a soft, silent thing, but great gulping sobs that ripped through his hard chest and throat, the fine trembling in his fingers and wrists turned to bone-cracking shivers that rocked his limbs and his spine.

As if Khushi knew and understood, she only gathered him into her and wrapped her delicate arms around him enfolding him completely. She bent her face against his wet chest while he buried his head into her neck and wept. Twice Arnav tried to raise his head, tried to find some way to pull himself back under control, and twice she simply held him more lightly, stroking his back, his hair, his face close against her neck and he wept as if he was grieving, wept in a way he had not since the day he had lost his father.

Khushi: What has happened Arnav?

Arnav: shh!!! Don't say anything! Just let me be close to you. Safe in the circle of her embrace, Arnav simply rested, listening to her heart and her breath, feeling the life in her and smelling the scent of her skin. He closed his eyes and let go of a shuddering breath. He didn't know how long it was till he finally stirred. He thought he might have fallen into a stupefied doze, lying against her that way. Khushi raised her head.

Khushi: The windows are opened Arnav, you'll catch cold..

Arnav's eyes, those deep, bottomless, beautiful eyes, were liquid, drenched: Don't! He whispered, and moved the hair from her face. Don't you ever do this to me again! He said against her lips.

Khushi realized that there was something terribly wrong and she felt worse because it was because of her he felt so!

Khushi: I... I am sorry, I didn't mean ...

Arnav: Khushi! How did you go there? He interrupted her in between desperately wanting to know what was happening. She realized that Arnav was worried for her because she hadn't been home all day. She tried explaining ...

Khushi: Actually after we both came out of the mall, she remembered that she had to return some fabrics to the store, so I told her that I'll wait for her in the car, next to the exit. Arnav became attentive. I parked the car next to the exit and saw her coming out of the mall. She couldn't see me so I came out and was walking towards her to call her when this truck came behind and crashed into the car.

Arnav was speechless as he just heard Khushi telling him about the accident. He could have actually lost her. Lose her forever!

Khushi: I am sorry Arnav; I took the car without asking you. I could never even imagine of something like this to have happened. And I wanted to call you immediately but my phone battery was dead. I am really sorry!

Arnav let out a sigh and immediately hugged her back. It was then that Arnav realized how intimate he had been to Khushi. He felt her stiff torso in his arms as she didn't react even a bit. She just held him to sooth his tense body but hadn't physically responded to his touch.

Arnav: I shouldn't have done this! He mentally told himself and then slowly left her. He looked back again to read her expression which seemed to be embarrassed and shy. Arnav smiled slightly and then to lighten her mood told her of the invitation.

Arnav: Forget about the accident! Your friend is fine too, right?

Khushi nodded slightly. Arnav: Okay so just forget about the day and please tell me that you haven't cooked dinner yet?

Khushi spread a wide smile and excited tried to tell him about the party invitation: No I didn't cook, actually Krystle has invited ...

Arnav: Great! Then quickly get ready, we have to attend a dinner party! He said smiling down at her.

Khushi looked up surprised. She had waited for him all evening to tell him about Krystle's anniversary invitation, hoped that he would not be too tired and would agree to go and was just about to tell him but now he has plans for some other dinner party???

Khushi: Ah! Arnav... But before she could continue, Arnav's phone rang. It was Karan.

Arnav: Just a sec, he left Khushi and went to attend the call to tell Karan that Khushi was fine and he need not worry. Khushi looked down disappointed and just went up to change and get ready.

***

Arnav: Yes, Karan! Ya don't worry, Khushi's home and she's fine.

Karan: Oh! Thank god. He sighed a relief standing next to the hospital reception. But then the accident? He asked curious.

Arnav: Actually Khushi and her friend weren't in the car when the accident took place. Don't worry everything's fine. You go back home and get ready to celebrate! He said trying to cheer up Karan.

Karan: Yeah! But Arnav is Khushi alright? I mean will she be okay to come to the party?

Arnav: She seems fine! And anyhow coming to the party will only cheer up her mood. We'll try and reach soon then!

Karan: Alright, see you soon! Bye.

Lavanya sat on her pink queen size bed with a makeup box kept open in front of her. She, for the hundredth time picked up the roller and stood in front of the mirror to put it properly in her hair. She had by now lost count of how many times had she tried doing this.

La: Ahhh! She exclaimed frustrated as it was simply impossible for Ms. Lavanya Kashyap to behave a tad-bit girly! But since the last few days, she had started wanting to dress up, take care of herself and look beautiful. Something had changed, and she couldn't have denied this to herself that it was because of someone special.

Once she could finally get the rollers fixed, she excitedly went to her wardrobe and took out the beautiful wavy golden brown dress which she had bought for the party tonight. Lavanya kept the dress on the bed and super-excitedly, dialed the phone climbing up the little couch in her room.

Arnav came out of the shower after freshening up wearing his black track pants and a towel over his shoulder, when he bumped into a slim frame and his hands immediately went around her waist. The movement was so very natural and she fitted so very perfectly against him that for a minute he doubted himself to have believed in the saying that, she was made for him. Arnav Singh Raizaada never believed in such things, but after having her in his life, he was forced to, if not change then at least bend the rules for himself.

But for Khushi it was a completely different story. She loved him from all her heart and was only his in every possible way but the fear of losing him would just not leave her. What if she let her feelings for him come out? Will he not hate her then just like how he hates his mother and the word 'Love'? She was scared to express herself to such an extent that every time he came close to her she feared that he would know her love for him and will hate her after that. She knew this was silly and she was trying her best to not think like that but... nothing ever helped. Every time, was the same story and an outburst of emotions which were locked in a hidden corner of her bleeding heart worsen the situation.

But this time was different, though she was going through similar emotions, there was something different about Arnav's behavior which held her concentration and didn't let her mind slip back into her dark memories. He pulled her more into him from the waist, his eyes locked with hers as he slightly cupped her cheek in his right hand and bend forward to slowly close the distance between their lips. His lips were soft on hers and this time her mind could only go back until sometime back when he had kissed her downstairs in the living area. This felt much different than that. His arms contained warmth and passion was oozing out from his every movement over her lips. He traced his tongue over her lips and slid it his tongue breaking the barriers when she opened her lips slightly for some air. Khushi's hands by now were around his neck pulling him more to herself as she gave herself to him with the same passion and want. Her fingers caressed the nape of his neck as she played with his tongue flicking it with hers. She felt in heaven and this was the first time she realized how desperate she herself was for him. She couldn't have fought herself any longer. The need which had been buried in some corner for years now thumped against her chest as she fisted her hands in his wet hair. Her lips felt like dew covered rose petals against his mouth and he moaned into her mouth. Arnav pulled her closer to him and felt her arch her body pressing her chest against his, and felt her hardened nipples through the light material of her wet kurti against his muscular chest.

Her lips let go off his reluctantly as she looked up at him meeting his gaze. She seemed to be glowing; her face a light shade of red mixed pearl and a small almost shy smile touched her face when she caught him staring. The silence between the two of them was becoming really awkward and she really wanted him to break the silence now with his magical words which always made her feel better. And to her luck the telephone on the bed-side table rang. Arnav reluctantly left her as he went into the dressing room to get ready and Khushi picked up the phone.

Khushi: Hello!

It was Lavanya on the other side. La: Khushi! La this side. What were you doing?

Khushi: Excuse me? [remembering the kiss]

La: I mean, I hope I didn't disturb you?

Khushi: No not at all! Tell me what is it?

La: Oh! Actually do you have any golden brown earings?

Khushi: Earings? I guess I may have a pair of them, why?

La: Actually I need them for tonight. I just realized I don't have any matching pair of earrings with my dress. So if I could borrow?

Khushi: yeah sure why not? I'll get them with me. Khushi realized that La for some reason seemed way too excited.

La: Okay then bye!

Khushi: Bye, see you soon! She said smilingly.

La: Ah! Khushi? You know that the dress code is a formals right?

Khushi found the question weird: Yeah I do know that La!

La: Okay then all the best. See ya!

Khushi: Bye!
