illumination in the darkness - part 13
She started weeping and embraces him really firmly like her life depended on it.
"Then take me away with you" His shirt was all soaked with her tears.
"What! No way Khushi" he slightly pressed her back to see her face.
"If you love me then take me away"
"But Khushi..."
"No more buts arnav, let's leave with Riyansh"
"Okay Khushi pack your things, I will talk to your mom"
"No need to talk to her, I still don't think she is my mother"
"But Khushi she is"
"You have any proof?"
"No, but"
"Then she is not, now pack your things. We will be leaving to see dad"
"Dad?"
"Your dad is my dad, isn't it?"
"Hmm. Yes"
He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. He took a deep breath and rested his forehead with hers. He once again whispered in her ears. "Khushi don't u think we should…?"
"Arnav I said Na she is not my mother okay. If she was then why she left me all alone when I was so young when I needed someone by my side. Did she ever once come to me to tell me that she is there for me? Why was I so alone when she was alive? Had she ever did anything for me??! No arnav she didn't!! She hadn't done any of those!! A mother would never want to see their child so alone n depressed n she did. Did she ever give me a feeling of mother?? Never arnav!"
There were many emotions in her eyes, anger, love, loneliness and everything all together. He didn't wanted to see her more miserable. It was kind of her to forgive him regardless of him hiding the truth from her.
He cupped her face gently. "Okay okay... Shsss... Khushi calm down baby, stop crying!! I won't talk about her. We will be leaving soon" he embraces her tightly to make her be aware of the fact that he would always be there for her no matter what.
They stood embracing each other for god knows how long until she broke the silence. "Arnav, where are we going?"
"Didn't you want to meet your father-in-law.? He inquires her in his melodious voice.
"I want but I mean where does he live?"
"Paris" he declares and packs her on neckline.
She pushed him stably. "Omg!! That's my dream city...I wanted to go there!! It's the city of romance!" The exhilaration was clear in her voice.
He was so delighted to see her back to her usual self but he decided to pull her leg."You wanted to go there because you could romance??"
"No I meant..." She looked down shyly and her cheeks turned red. She was blushing.
"Okay so u wanted to go there so you could romance!! I see!" he interrupted before she could finish.
"No arnav. Stop making fun of me"
"No? Okay then we won't go"
"No... No I want to go?"
"Why? Because you want to romance with me?"
"Arnav if u keeps doing this. I will..."
"You will what Khushi?" He yet again didn't let her come to an end of her sentence and interrupted. He began to pace towards her.
"I will...will ...Not...talk... To u" she started stammering and persists moving backwards.
"I will make you talk then" he incline forward n whisper in her ear with his melodic voice.
She always melts hearing his voice with his breathe on her ears. She closed her eyes to have a hold over herself "you...can't".
He draw back folding his hand and raised his eyebrow "Are you challenging me??"
"Yes I am!"She speedily responded thanking that the topic has changed.
"Okay what will I get if I win?"
"Stop dreaming! You can't"
"What if I can?"
"Then I will do whatever you want"
"Are you sure??Anything sweetheart?" He gave a smirk.
"Umm...Yes I will do anything" Seeing his smirk, she was doubtful that she gave an accurate answer. she was sure something was going in his mind.
"Okay baby, go pack your bag and get ready to lose" She turned back to abscond when she felt him gripping her wrist and draw her towards him. He bends over and captures her lips with his. His hands found their way to her waist. She slid her hands over his shoulders and wrapped them around his neck. The kiss was getting passionate by each minute. He was tugging her closer and closer. She was out of breath, so she opens her mouth to suck in the air. He took the chance and enters her mouth. Their tongues meet, and briefly tussle with each other. In the process of kissing, he accidently bites her lower lip.
"Arnav... If you... Keep doing… this... How can I... pack?" she said between the kiss. But none one them stopped.
He slowly let go of her and whisper in ear. "I didn't want to let go of this chance. "
Her cheeks were crimson red and she was blushing really hard. : I'll go and pack"
She was about to set out when she heard him cry out her name, "Khushi..."
He once again captures her lips and sooth the pain on her lower lip where he bite her, "I'm sorry about the bite baby."
"its okay" she left a pack on his check before leaving.

"Hello"
"Err... I'm taking Khushi with me" he regretted not asking for her permission but he didn't want to create a scene with Khushi.
"I know... Don't think if u r leaving you won't have to finish your task. You still have to and for your kind information; you lose in your second task too. All thanks to your dear brother" Somewhere in her heart, she didn't wish for him to be defeated because he is the just the right guy for her daughter.
"He won't attack her. Don't worry" he guarantees her that she is out of harm's way.
"Okay, get ready for your third task"
"I'm always ready, what is it?"
"Control your inner desires"
"What the!!! That's next to impossible." He was taken aback with his third task but he had to do this to make an impression to his soon-to-be mother-in-law.
"That's why it's a task"
"I will" he didn't know if he will be able to but he didn't want to be defeated without giving it a try. As people say we have to strive for what we need, not everything can be given to us on the plate. He would have to pass through lots of hurdles but he could go to any extant for Khushi.
"I will do whatever it takes to make you lose .btw what's your favorite color?"
"What! That's not fair! And how is my color related to the task?"
"Just tell me"
"Red"
"Okay, see you in Paris then"
"What do you mean? You are also coming?" He asked dreadfully. He on no account anticipated that she would as well go to Paris.
"Of course! I told u I will do anything to make you lose" she loved bantering him. Task were just excuse, she just wanted to maintain a good relation with her to be son-in-law.
"Where will u live? Do I have to book any room for you?"He was concerned about her living; after all she wasn't some stranger. She was khushi's mom.
"No thanks! I will live at your house"
"What the!! Are you serious? What will I tell Riyansh and dad, and obviously Khushi?" He never predicted she would say this! "People were right; we should always expect the unexpected."
"Say I'm your maid"
"What the!! No freaking way!! I will say you are my friend"
She knew that he had a lot of respect for elders. She was actually very happy with his reply, he once again proved himself as a good guy but she loved teasing her son-in-law. "What will they say? You have a friend of 40??"
"I will say you took care of me when mom left me, so you are no less than a Mom for me." There was a pin drop silence for a while and then she spoke up. "Don't try to win my heart by being emotional, it's not going to work" she didn't know if she said that right thing but dragging this topic will make him offend and no one will be there to comfort him.
"Your daughter is as stubborn as you. She is not talking to me! So I have to make her talk." He swiftly spoke up thanking her for not dragging the mother topic as it always makes him cry.
"Do you need my help?"
"Am I dreamaing? You want to help me?"
"Ya, take her to a romantic candle light dinner. She would love it"
"Thanks for the advice but I have plans" he rejected her offer sympathetically.
"I will see how better your plans are."
"Okay beautiful" he knew she didn't like him rejecting her offer so he determine to make her smile.
"Why are being so kind of...?"
"Because you are as hot as Angela Julie. I was thinking if I could leave Khushi and settle with you" he mocks her.
"What the!"
He was all set to speak up when he saw Khushi and Riyansh standing at the door with their luggage waiting for him. Seeing Khushi fuming, he knew she had heard him. He loves seeing her being jealous so he decided to carry on how it was going.
"Okay I will meet you in Paris Priya... Bye sweetheart... Love ya." He knew his plan was working. Khushi wouldn't be able to control and would ask about Priya. If she talk, she loose. But to his surprise she didn't said anything.
It was a silent journey, neither Khushi utter anything nor arnav. Riyansh was like talking to the deaf ears, his words slowly faded away as both of their minds were preoccupied. Khushi was not ready to lose this time. Even if Arnav asked her for the food order, she would point instead of speaking. And this carried on until then reached their house in Paris.
The house was huge. It wasn't like other normal peoples house. As she enters, everything was black and white but it was very well designed. It was as huge as a castle from inside. No one would have thought arnav was a rich brat. Khushi was looking around his house when arnav interrupted.
"Khushi, Meet my dad. Dad, she is Khushi, my girlfriend."
"Namaste uncle" she said in a polite tone with a smile on her face.
"Namaste beta" arnav was just like his dad. Their light brown eyes are so expressive that they do not need to open their mouth. Their eyes do the talking.
"Come Khushi I will show you our room" arnav said as he slid his arm around her waist.
"Nanav, we have extra rooms. Bhabi can stay in any room"
"No Riyansh, Khushi is scared of the dark so she need someone beside her." arnav said without waiting for a moment as he was afraid one more minute and they will be separate. Khushi was impressed how he remembered little things related to her. "And ya Priya will live with us". Khushi was so surprised. Hearing Priya's name, khushi's anger start to rise. Arnav was however enjoying this jealousy game. Khushi was so keen on knowing this Priya but she didn't want to speak up and loose.
"Priya?" Riyansh and his dad spoke at the same time out of confusion. Khushi was silently thanking them for asking.
"Ya she is a very special friend of mine" arnav said without explaining further because he wanted to this jealous game to continue. He could explain to Khushi later.
"Okay beta, when is she coming over?" Arnav's dad asked. Khushi was standing beside to listen to the whole conversation so she could get a clue about this Priya. He was about to answer when his phone rang.
"Hello? Ya just get to the address I messaged you... Ya I'm waiting. Oh you are here? No dad wouldn't mind at all. Okay see you. Bye." He disconnects the phone.
"She will be here in five minutes. She is just outside I will go get her." he said quickly and left to pick her.
He saw her standing outside waiting for him. "Hey." He said casually.
"So this is your house?"She asked raising an eyebrow.
"Ya. Why? You don't like it?"
"No…It's fine. I didn't know that you were that rich…Let's go"
"Oh ya before we go in, I would like to tell you that Khushi is staying in my room" he stand in front of her forbidding her to go in before she listen.
"Okay"
"No no. I mean in my room"
"Ya I know she is staying in your room and its okay"
"You mean you don't mind her staying in my room?" He asked shockingly as he thought she would not have allowed.
"Why would I??" She asked.
"Thank god you don't mind us staying together in one room. I was afraid that you would have object" he sign in relief.
"Wait. Did you just say together in one room?? I thought you were saying that she would stay in your room and you would stay in some other room. Wait. Wait. I though I told you to control your inner desires."
"No no you are getting me wrong. She is staying with me in my room because she is afraid of the dark. And she only knows me well among us. On top of that I'm her boyfriend." He tried to explain as he didn't want her to get the wrong idea." So you mind?" He was silently praying in his heart that she would allow.
She thought about it for a minute and then spoke up." I don't mind at all. Just don't do anything with her."
"What?! I promise I won't. Don't worry." He quickly assures her.
"Don't promise. Anything can happen" she gave him a smirk.
"Is your smirk giving me a warning? Well if still you have doubt then I will sleep on the sofa."
"Are you going to take me inside or will keep me standing here the whole night"
"Oh sorry, let's go"
When they reach upstairs, they saw Mr. Vinod Malik, arnav's father and Riyansh dining.
"Where's Khushi?" arnav asked
