Chapter 14- Shedding Inhibitions
The expected day of coronation arrived, bringing happiness along with its wake.
Wairua was decorated from the houses to streets to the castle in all its glory, as the coronation that would take place soon will be talked about for ages to come.
Lord Amish felt he could never be happier more than he was as his eldest son accepted what he deserved without any fuss. The only thing that was nagging him was, his son's happiness might be deprived because of his wish. But even Arnav accepted nothing could be done about that as he should stand up to his father's words and his kingdom's happiness as he was entitled to do.
Khushi had arrived that morning with Payal and a grudging Siddharth, whom she had dragged along with her even after all his refusal to come. Sadly for Siddharth, he could never resist his little sister's charm and so had finally agreed to come though he knew it would only give more pain to him and his beloved. He was blind to see Khushi's plans.
Immediately on arriving, Khushi had went in search of Arnav and found him gazing at his full on blooming tree.
Arnav felt her hugging him from behind. He leaned back into her and relished the feel of being in her arms finally as he felt complete.
Khushi tip-toed and brushed her lips softly on his neck. Arnav unable to hold back anymore, turned around to trap her in his arms but she pushed him away. Arnav looked at her startled.
"If you want me, you have to do something for me then!" Khushi said cheekily.
"Yeah. As if I would!" Arnav tried to catch her.
"I am serious Arnav!" she danced away from his arms.
Arnav's heart fluttered in pure joy as he saw her smile and the skip in her steps. He gave in not wanting to disappoint her.
"Ok fine! What do you want from me?" he asked folding his arms across his chest with a slight smile adorning his lips.
"I want you to come with me to talk to your father about Siddharth and Anjali issue," Khushi almost whispered unable to figure out his reaction yet didn't move her gaze away from his eyes as his lips frowned washing away the initial smile.
"Khushi! Tell me you are just pulling my leg dear!" he tried to keep his face devoid of emotions.
"No Arnav. Unfortunately I am in no mood for fooling you as I want to talk to your father as soon as possible about this!" she replied in her serious voice.
Arnav regarded her thinking about his father's reaction. To hell with it. He gave up his chance at happiness for his father's wish. His sister should enjoy what she's entitled to.
"Fine! Lets go and talk to him. He must be in his chambers still," he took hold of her hand and puleed her with him through all the corridors and courtyards till they reached Lord Amish's wing and entered his chambers.
"Father. We need to talk about something important regarding Anjali, before I accept the crown!" Arnav's tone hinted the seriousness of the matter that he was about to reveal. Lord Amish was all ears to Khushi who recounted all that had happened between Siddharth and Anjali as Arnav silently supported her by holding her hand in his tightly.
Arnav and Khushi stood there once she finished telling the tale to Amish and waited with bated breath as his face was unreadable.
"I wish your sister had this same courage dear. It would have thwarted all the mis-happenings so far.and I don't want to be the reason for similar kind of situation arising again though I trust Siddharth very much, love can make anyone do anything. So I'll be announcing the engagement of my daughter Anjali with Lord Siddharth of Tapu during the dinner ceremony tonight," Amish finally replied with a smile putting an end to the cold creeping on their hearts.
Khushi flashed her toothy smile and dashed into the hands of her uncle as he kissed her forehead in gratitude for looking out for his family, their family. Arnav stood there smiling at them unable to control his own heart soaring in happiness.
Khushi then ran out of the chamber shouting that she had to tell the good news to Anjali and Siddharth herself but Arnav caught her as she turned around the corridor leading away from the King's chamber.
"Aren't you forgetting something my dear?" Arnav tried to pull her back into his arms. But once again she pushed him away and sprinted off shouting, "You'll get what you want later. We have all the time in the world my Lord!"
'No matter being a queen, she still was a child at heart!' mused Arnav as he went to his chambers to get ready for his own coronation.
------
Arnav was down on his knees before his father clad in his golden armor and black cloak, the royal family surrounding them in the throne room with the crowd shouting in his praise as Lord Amish placed the crown on his bent head and the applauding raised reaching the heavens.
Arnav rose to his full height in all his Kingly glory and looked into the eyes of Khushi brimming with tears. He wanted to walk to her, pull her into his embrace and seal her lips with his own. But he was lead by his father to the balcony as the crowd cheered all over when they saw their new king.
The dinner followed later with everyone trying to catch hold of him and give their wishes and regards as Arnav's restless eyes searched for one alone.
Finally the object of his desire walked in holding on to his sister by her side. His gaze never wandered away from her, as she glided around clad in that flowing sinful scarlet which hugger her in all the right places making it hard for him to breath. He tried to catch hold of her eyes and ask her to come away for a couple of minutes for him to fulfill little of his current fantasies. But she skillfully eluded him all the time and Arnav's frustration grew.
The time came for the surprise as Lord Amish announced the engagement of Anjali with Siddharth. The gathered noble people raised their drinks in toast to the new couple as Siddharth slipped a brilliant diamond on Anjali's finger. She felt like she was the most happiest person at that instant and thanked Khushi for everything she had done for them.
"Anju... I had to do this as it meant my dumb brother here's happiness as much as yours!" Khushi hugged her back and that was the instant Anjali saw the irritation on her brother's face.
"What did you do now to my brother Khushi?" she giggled as she pulled back.
"Hm! Lets just say I refused all the cozy cozy moments he demanded!" Khushi winked at Anjali.
"Oh God! Please spare me from my brother's love life. And I think you have to cut the poor guy some slacks Khushi. Its his night today as the new King of Wairua." Anjali tried to convince Khushi as an agitated Arnav meant trouble.
"This is your night too as much as his Anju... and do you think you can keep everyone away from us for a while?" Khushi questioned Anjali with her obvious intentions.
"Take all night if you want. You both have been away from eachother for a while with alot on your platter. I'll handle the rest. Just go!" Anjali winked back.
Khushi smiled at her and turned towards now scowling Arnav and gave him a dazzling smile as she swayed off towards the exit. Arnav was unsure about her actions as she had been ignoring him all this while.
When she reached the enormously engraved double doors, she turned around giving him a seductive look and crooked her fore-finger at him. She fled out of the room as soon as she saw Arnav dashing behind her when his control snapped.
She laughed out as he tried catching her without any success.
Finally he rounded on her and crashed into her delicate form against his very own chamber's door. He opened it and pushed her in and locked it behind him.
Khushi nervously took a few steps back as she saw him regard her like a predator does before pouncing. Now she felt stupid for aggravating him as she did. She was sure of his punishment now.
She couldn't take his eyes roving her and tried running away and much to her annoyance felt herself pulled back and pinned against the door.
"Where do you think you are leaving after making me wait this long Khushi?" his voice was a dangerous husk near her ears as he caught her earlobe between his teeth. Khushi hissed as she fisted her fingers in his hair and pulled his lips towards hers in impatience at the sudden blast of pleasure in her. The kiss was searing building up the pent up passion and frustration in the deprived souls who never wanted to let go of each other.
Arnav backed her towards his bed as he slid her jewels off as she did to his golden armor and cloak. He pulled down the zipper of her dress as she tugged at his undershirt losing her patience and ripping it off. He pushed her on his bed and climbed over her panting. He held himself above her as he whispered, "I love you Khushi". Khushi knew what he wanted and looked into his intense molten dark eyes with all the love she had in her being.
"I love you Arnav," was all Arnav heard when he saw the need in her eyes mirroring his own and bent down to kiss her forehead in a silent promise of cherishing her forever as their hands removed the rest of the barriers in between them.
And that night witnessed the union of two powerful souls, irrevocably in love with each other as their beings felt the burst of stars in their own universe, over and over again.
