"But... How? "
"Khushi, I think it's time to tell you the truth" he made her sit down on the bed; crouch in front of her and grab her hands in his.
"What truth arnav?" she questioned him
"Khushi, I'"
While he was about to convey the truth, his cell phone rang.
"Arnav, can't you switch off your cell at this time?"
"I'm sorry Khushi, but this is an important call."
"I know but'" she said frustratingly
"Sorry Khushi but I have to go; I will talk to you when I come back"
"Okay" she said as she made a puppy face; trying to signal him that she was down in the dumps.
"I'm sorry" he bends forward gently and laid a soft kiss on her forehead."I'll be back soon, wait for me here. Don't leave, okay?"
"Hmm..." She nodded her head.
He went on the way to the jungle and congregates the Vampire head.
Vampire head: what consumed your time? You took quite a time to come.
Arnav: Khushi was depressed.
Vampire head: looks like someone is forgetting something
Arnav: no Ma'am, I did not forget your warning'Remember I once asked you," What will I gain by taking care of Khushi?"
Vampire head: I told you, you can ask for anything you want. At that time you said you will ask for it when time comes. But let me ask you again; is there any particular thing you want?
Arnav: yes Ma'am, but I'm afraid you won't b able to give me that particular thing'
Vampire head: just shut up and ask for it, there is nothing I can't give
Arnav: I want your daughter Ma'am'
There was a classic silence, neither of them spoken; she was dazed at his high demand. It was far above the ground, he just situate there gazing at her waiting for her answer.
"I am not challenging you Ma'am, but in spite of knowing the fact that I was not supposed to fall for her, I already did. I hadn't got the power to control myself." He said to break the quietness.
"I won't say no. However, I will not say yes as well, unless you prove to me to what extent you love her."
"I'm willing to do anything for her."
"You will have to complete the tasks I provide you. And let me inform you, you are already unsuccessful in the first task!"
"What?! What was my first task?"
"Never leave her! No matter how important call is it! And you just did'"
"Overall, how many tasks are there?"
"Depends on how long you will fight for my daughter'"
"What's my upcoming task?"
"I'm afraid you might not successfully accomplish this task"
"but ma'am if you don't tell me what's my task how will I know if I will be able to succeed or not"
"Your second task is: 'don't let any vampire wander around her."
"But if I'm not around her, how will I protect her"
"I'm talking about other vampires not you"
"And may I know why you declare that I might not turn out well in this task too? Ma'am"
"Well, for that you have to revisit home and acquire your answer"
"Excuse me??"
"You are excused, now you might leave"
"Okay ma'am"
"Stop adding ma'am in each of your sentence, it's irritating"
"Okay, my future mother-in-law"
"Not so soon, only if my daughter accepts you"
"She will"
"Ah han, not just like that"
"Then?"
"Only if she accepts you after knowing the major truth of your life"
"Actually I was planning to disclose to her but you called"
"I know, that's why I called"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think if you tell her the truth, she will just accept? She will need time; this all is new for her"
"It was also new for me"
"Stop being childish; you are a man, she's not!! Now go home and complete your second task or it will get out of hand"
He went home and bangs the door. It was Khushi who open the door...
"Arnav, why are you so late? Riyansh was waiting for you since 6 and its already 8 now"
"What the hell is he doing here?"
