Arnav dressed himself thinking about the course of events of the day. So much had happened today that it all felt like a nightmare. He put his crystal Swarovski cufflinks on his black shirt and took his silver tie to wear it, but his mind was pre-occupied as he couldn't help but relive the nightmare he had lived the whole day.
What if it all came out to be true? What if she was actually present in the car? It was their luck, which had played at that point of time, but what if it had not? The questions kept ringing in his mind. He put his jacket on adjusting the collars and then another memory came '
Flashback!
Karan: You won't lose her. You love her don't you? He said searching for an answer in his friend's eyes.
Arnav looked back at Karan with teary eyes and uncertainty trying to get something out from his mouth but nothing came.
Karan: then you don't have to worry; even god cannot take her away from you. She will always be yours and with you.
End of Flashback!
Arnav: Love? He whispered standing in the dressing room while Khushi got dressed in the bedroom.
Arnav's tuxedo:
Just then he heard Khushi's soft whimper and worried immediately came out to check on her. There she stood in front of the dresser wearing a gold taffeta strapless floor length dress with her back to the mirror as she looked back into it struggling to tie the bow.
Khushi's dress:
But her hands immediately stopped wriggling as she saw her husband's reflection in the mirror while he looked at her and then slowly moved towards her.
He reached her and took her by surprise taking her in his arms wrapping them around her waist slowly moving them up on her back. She was so surprised that till now she hadn't turned her face around to look at him directly and she still had her face turned back looking into the mirror with her arms holding the bow on the back tightly. He relaxed her arms and that's when she turned her face to look at him in the eyes.
His face was inches away from her and his eyes had strange captivity which held her sight making it impossible to look anywhere else. Her hands on their own accord had moved up to his shoulders and she felt a sudden tug making her press herself more into him as he tied the bow knot on her back.
Arnav: Done!
Khushi: huh? She said in her trance.
Arnav: I said it's done! He said looking down at her face as she looked at him dazed.
Khushi: Ah! Thank you. She whispered but none of them moved an inch after that. They remained like that looking into each other's eyes. Khushi with eyes containing new found happiness of gaining a fraction of the love she could only dream of and Arnav with eyes containing new found fear of losing something so special in life.
He took both her hands in his slightly massaging the back side using his thumb and made her sit on the bed sitting beside her. Khushi looked at him with question in her eyes and slight smile on her lips.
Arnav: I need to talk to you about today. He said not knowing whether he should tell her about the case and the calls he had been receiving.
Khushi: Hmm! She exclaimed expecting him to continue.
Arnav: Khushi... Do you trust me? Do you trust me with your safety?
Khushi: Of course I do! But why are you...
Arnav: Then... then promise me that you will never go anywhere without informing me. Promise me this.
Khushi looked down upset. Khushi: I am really sorry Arnav. I never wanted to cause you any trouble. I really didn't know something like this could happen ...
Arnav: Shh! He kept his finger on her lips. You don't have to be sorry. I just want you to make me this promise. That's it.
Khushi smiled a toothy smile and said: Promise! I won't go anywhere without letting you know. Okay?
Arnav: Okay! And he bent forward to give her a peck on the cheek.
But Arnav still had his deep eyes fixed on her.
Khushi looked away uncomfortable and then excitedly got up saying: Common let's go now! Or else Karan and his wife are gonna really be very unhappy with you. She pulled his hand making him stand and then dragged him out of the room.

Karan walked up the staircase and entered his bedroom with a wide smile on his face wanting to see his wife desperately. Only he knew how he had spent the whole day without her. And the moment he came inside announcing his presence to his wife, calling her name (Karan: Krystle!) his bride turned around and ran towards him pulling him in a tight hug.
Krystle: God! I missed you so much. She said digging her face in his chest.
She wore a white gown hugging her curves perfectly with a diamond neckpiece adorning her long beautiful neck.
Krystle's dress:
As she hugged him tightly, Karan could sense something wrong. It wasn't the normal tight hug his wife gave him every day. It had something different to it.
Karan: What is it honey; Krystle?
Krystle was really upset because of today's episode with Khushi and her. Though Khushi had laughed it off saying it was a mere accident. Krystle feared it to be something serious due to Karan's professional work. And she felt worse thinking that because of her, her friend Khushi too was in danger. Krystle never ever hid anything from Karan. Maybe that's what the strength of their relationship was. But right now, she didn't want to spoil his mood at all. Therefore, she quickly got a naughty smile on her face and then turned around faking a bit of anger.
Krystle: I am angry!
Karan: And why is that? He said hugging her from the back trailing kisses on her bare shoulder. Krystle shrugged a bit feeling tickled and Karan did it more.
Krystle: Because you are going to make both of us late for the party! And I don't like to be late. So go and get ready! She said turning around pushing him into the dresser with his tuxedo.
Karan came out in a while by the time Krystle finished with her makeup wearing a black tuxedo and a pair of glasses, like he usually did. (Oh! I forgot to mention Karan wears glasses in this FF ' I think he would look really hot and sexy with a pair of them 😉😛)
Karan's tuxedo:
Karan came forward without Krystle noticing and picked her up in his arms turning around in circles making her gasp in shock to see her husband so very happy!

Karan fell down on the bed with Krystle over him and wriggling uselessly locked in his arms.
Krystle: Karan let me go! Please honey, look we are getting really late. As much as she loved this, she tried to explain it to him wanting her husband to for once behave a little responsible and not be late. But Karan without a word just caught her words in between as he took her lips in his kissing her passionately. Krystle broke the kiss first and exclaimed: Alright now you are done so get up and let's get going. Hurry up!
Karan: On one condition!
Krystle: Honey, we can't be late for this party. We are the hosts for god's sake! She said frowning down at him.
Karan: Just one question! Promise ...
Krystle: What??
Karan: What is it which is troubling you so much? He said looking straight into her eyes.

Arnav and Khushi reached the venue where Lavanya along with NK stood on the entrance. NK stood wearing his usual happy go lucky expression on his face clad in a blue color suit.
NK's tuxedo:
Khushi's corner of lips stretched forming a smile as she saw La standing nervous and shy which she usually wasn't, not even daring to look at the man standing on her right. She wore a golden brown dress and her hair loose curled with golden high heels. That was so not like how La was!
Lavanya's dress:
Khushi held Arnav's arm as they walked up to their friends. NK hugged Arnav and welcomed the couple.
Arnav: How come both of you are welcoming everyone?
NK: Oh! Well, when the hosts themselves are late then the organizers themselves will have to welcome everyone, isn't it!
Arnav: Karan.. again he's late?
NK: You bet! They both laughed knowing very well what could make Karan late as usual. But thank god, La was here with me. Because even Akaash has already left for Manchester, I was worried how I would arrange everything on my own.
Khushi: Well you would always have Lavanya to help you.😉 She said winking at La and La returned it by glaring back at Khushi. But the exchange of expressions between the women went unnoticed by the men.
NK: yes of course! He said smiling.
La: Khushi, I asked you for something? Have you got it?
Khushi: Oh! Yes, I have.
La: Do you mind coming with me? She took Khushi along with her inside leaving Arnav and NK warmly smile at them and then got busy talking.
