As requested by SJM, I will try to make this update a bit naughty. Hehe.
Part 41
He saw khushi walking back. She was crying. He knew she was crying.
Arnav: khushi.. he yelled. She looked back. And wiped her tears and started to walk back faster. He caught up to her.
Arnav: khushi. Meri baat tho sunu.
Khushi: mujhe koi baat nahin suni hai. OK Ap gaeyeh na. Us angrez ki bachi kay pas. She walked faster. He needed to stop her. And she wasn't. He held her hand. She tried to free it. He was now getting a bit impatient. He saw the bridge. He knew what he had to do. He pulled her hand. His right hand was tightly holding her left wrist. He put his head between her right arm and body and flung her onto his left shoulder.
Khushi: put me down. Please. Put me down. He didn't listen to her.
He walked towards the bridge.
Khushi: arnav, koi daikh lay ga.
Arnav: I don't care. He walked up to the bridge. And noticed a stair case that goes to the bottom where the river was. He needed to find a place to hide. Somewhere where there was going to be privacy for the both of them. He walked down and went underneath the bridge. He put her down and her back was now against the wall. He put both of his arms around her against the wall so she could not run away.
Khushi: please. Mujhe jana hai.
Arnav: not until you listen to me.
Khushi: I dont want to hear anything right now. I am sure that angrez ki bachi is looking for you, I am sure you would love to spend some time with her as well na. You can also accompany her to her next botox session. She was fuming. Blabbering. Huffing and puffing. He could see anger in her eyes. If shehnaz came in front of her right now. She would have riped her apart with her nails. Arnav was amused to see her like this. She always had it together, but seeing her like this was entertaining to say the least. He remembered how khushi also got jealous of minta, but this time, it was a whole new level.
Khushi: jainna. Phir say jir rahi hogi kaheen na kaheen. Jab chala nahin jata hai, tho itni bari heel kyon pehn thi hai. Aur aisay khari hoti hai jaisay kay har waqt uski koi na koi tasveer lay raha ho. She made a fake model face. Tilted her head to the side and pouted her lips. Just like a kid would go to pose for a picture as a model. Arnav started to bite his lips. He didn't want to laugh in front of her. She needed to get this out. He was hoping that his patience and self-control would last until she got it all out.
Khushi: kapray bhi aisay hain kay kya bataon.
Arnav: kya. Mujhe tho kuch kharabi nahin nazar ae kaproon main. He said sarcastically. He was enjoying this.
Khushi mouth dropped. She raised one hand and started to holding it out flat to his face. Just like a desi aunty does when she needs to make a point with attitude. Her palm faced him. With the minimal space that she had, she started to move her hand back and forth. With ever point that she was going to make.
Khushi: kharabi nahin nazar aee. Kaisay nazar aeegi, jab kapray hi nahin thay. Lag tha hai jalti say, nahin jalti say nahin. IQ level his itna kam hai, bechari kya karay. Bachon kay kapron ki dukan main chali gae hogi. Issi liye itnay chotay chotay kapray hain. Baron ki dukan main jati tho shayad kuch dhang kay kapray mil jatay. Arnav moved back a bit. Put his hands in his pocket. She wasn't going anywhere. She brought her other hand up as well and started to move it in a outline of a ball.
Khushi: wahan par bhi masla hota. Itnay baray baray hips. Voh kamar kam, kamra ziyada lag raha tha. Aranv started to laugh. He closed his eyes and faced his head down. That was too cute. She was annoyed. Why was he laughing at her. She put her hands on her hips and huffed.
Khushi: humf. Ap kyon has rahay hain. He looked up. Licked his lips and took a deep sigh. She looked the other way. Smoke still coming out from her ears. He cupped her face and tilted it towards him. She still had an angry expression on her face. Lips scrunched up, eyebrows furrowed.
Arnav: khushi. Tumhari naak par yeh jo jussa baitha howa hai na. Mujhe bohot hi acha lag raha hai. Haan botox wali baat nahin hai. Her eyes widened. She huffed. Then squinting her eyes with an evil glare. Aranv smiled. Chuckled. He was too amused. But he knew that he had to handle her with care right now. Enough of the teasing. She needed reassurance. He knew she trusted him fully. Espeaiclly after the dori incident in the car. Sleeping in the same hotel room and what not. But she felt a bit insecure. And he was there to make it change. He smirked at her.
Arnav: kya howa khushi. Batao tho sahi. Please.
Khushi: kuch nahin. Mujhe jana hai. Excuse me. She tried to move his hands. But he quickely grabbed onto her waist and pulled her close. Her hands were now on his chest. Eyes widened. Barely any space between them. They just stared at each other. They felt a bit of cool breeze blow below the bridge. The sound of the moving water from the river was soothing. They just focused on each others eyes.
Arnav's eyes: batao mujhe. Kya howa hai.
Khushi's eyes: voh apkay bohot kareeb anay ki koshish kar rahi hai. Mujhe nahin acha lag raha hai.
Arnav sighed. He closed a bit of the distance between their faces. Their noses just inches apart. She moved a bit back. He moved forward. She moved a bit more back until she hit the wall. He moved forward. Closing the distance between them. Her heart started to beat faster. And faster and faster. Until it was no longer in her control. They had not been this close to each other in ages. He leaned his head in and closed his eyes. She could feel his warm breath on her mouth. Their lips parted. She closed her eyes. Arnav brought his nose and rubbed it against her's. Back and forth. Slowly and very gently. He stopped there. Their noses caressing each others. Their breathes crashing onto the others lips. Eyes closed. His hands tightly holding onto her waist. And her hands flatly resting against his chest. She felt his heart beating. Dhak dhak.. dhak dhak.. dhak dhak... she could feel it beating only for her. She already knew that. But she felt much much better. They stood there for some time. Aranv's phone started to ring bringing them back into reality. They were hiding underneath a bridge. He moved back and opened his eyes. She opened her's. Both looking at each other. Without breaking eye contact arnav took out his phone. While still holding her with the other. He didn't care who is was. He just rejected the call. The phone rang again. He sighed. He kept on looking at her. She moved her hands and started to fix her duppata. He moved two steps back. She was about to go but then was stopped. He held onto her hands. She smiled. And looked down. She just stood there. He slightly let go of her hand so he could get his index finger to move along the back of her hand. She bit her bottom lip. He answered the call. They both held onto each other's fingers. Their relationship was this delicate, but both of them were strong enough not to let it break. He leaned against the wall and so did she.
Akash: bhai. Man where are you guys.
Aranv: akash, yeah. Umm. We are here. Kyon kya howa.
Akash: ok listen. Bari mushkil say akailay hooon abhi. Yaar yeh shehnaz bhi na. Dont worry. I have taken care of her. And most importantly. Everyone is walking back to the gathering area where the parents are. You and khushi better get there before us. Varna masla hogae ga.
Arnav: hmm. ok. How long do we have.
Akash: I would say a couple of minutes to get there. Move fast man.
Arnav: ok. Thanks bro. They both hung up the phone.
Khushi stood up and started to move. But he didn't move nor let go of her finger. He tugged it back. She looked at him. And smiled. Sighed.
Khushi: sab intizaar kar rahay hain.
Arnav: I know.
Khushi: so let's go.
Arnav: no. she was shocked. He was getting a bit bolder. He pulled her in. she crashed onto his chest.
Arnav: two things. Phir chalaingay.
Khushi: she looked down. She had a weird feeling.
Khushi: kya.. she asked innocently. While keeping her gaze lowered.
He put his finger under her chin and pulled her face up. He then took his phone and leaned his head a bit towards hers. She smiled. He smiled. He clicked a pictured. And put his phone away.
Khushi looked at him: aur dosri cheez. She smiled. He raised his eyebrow. And had a mischevious smirk. She furrowed her eyebrows. But had a slight smile on her lips.
Kushi: kya.
Aranv moved his head in a bit closer to hers. Letting his nose play with hers. She gulped. Her lips parted. Eyes closed. Breathing heavily. He looked at her while rubbing his nose gently against hers. He then slowly moved his head a bit back and then to the side of her face. He closed his eyes. And took a deep breath in. and very delicately placed his lips on her soft cheek. His lips caressed her pink cheeks for a little while. He felt her smile. He moved his head back and looked at her. She was red. Looking down. Shyly. Bitting her bottom lip. She tried to turn and walk away but he grabbed her wrist. She gulped. She turned to look at him again. Slowly raising her eyes. She smiled and he had a smirk on his face. A satisfied smirk. She tried to pull her hand. But he chuckled.
Khushi: choriyeh na.
Arnav: pehlay tum karo.
Khushi's eyes widened. Did he just ask her to kiss him. She gulped. Her heart skipped a beat. She looked at him. He turned his head to face the river. So his cheek was right in front. He lifted his eyebrows. And started to roll his eyes. He was waiting. Her jaw dropped.
Khushi: ah.
She smirked. She ran her tongue along the in bottom of her teeth. Okay she thought. She raised her eyes brow. Luckily he was not looking. She stepped a bit closer. Tiptoed up. She placed her hand softly on his eyes to close them. She gently slid it from the top of his forehead to the tip of his nose. He smiled. She tried not to giggle. She felt the grip on her hand loosen. She released her hand. And went towards the side of this cheek, near his ear. And softly whispered.
Khushi: koi nahin. She giggled and turned around and ran out of there. Arnav was too slow this time to comprehend what just happened. He opened his eyes and by the time he turned his head around, she was too far for him to grab onto her. He chuckled.
Aranv: if that is how you want to play it khushi. Fine. He put his hands in his pocket, sighed then smiled. He shook his head negatively. He started to walk back as well. He reached the gathering area and noticed khushi sitting beside payal and anjali on the sheet. Shehnaz was sitting on the bench. Crossed her one leg on top of the other. Akash turned around and saw his brother. Arnav smirked. Akash smiled and shook his head. Nice he thought. Both just chuckled seeing each other.
Khushi looked around and saw arnav walking by. She tried to hold her smile in. she was also turning red. She looked down. Fixing her hair. She needed to think of something else fast, before anjali or payal noticed her redness.
Shehnaz: oh arnav. She yelled as she saw him. Khushi smiled dissapeared. She sighed. There, she thought. She had another problem to deal with rather than blushing right now.
Shehnaz got up and looked at him.. He just smiled. A fake smile. He walked a bit passed her. But she walked towards him and placed her hand onto his shoulder. His eyes widened. What was this girl doing. He pulled his shoulder back and faced her. Taking a step back. Khushi's eyes widened. How dare she touch Arnav. That was it. She was going to attack. But luckily she saw akash walk towards them. She loved akash now. A lot more. As a brother. Or brother-in-law more.
Akash: bhai.. bhai.. finally I was waiting for you. Arnav looked at his brother and sighed. He smiled and gave shehnaz a nod and quickly went to his brother.
Akash: okay bhai. I hope you are feeling a bit better. Arnav smiled.
Arnav: yes. Thanks man. But.
Akash: but. There is a but in there as well now.
Arnav: yes. He put his arm around his brother's shoulder and started to whisper.
Aranv: she is still not talking to me exactly. I need a way to talk to her. And there is no way that we can go alone. That is just not allowed right now. so. Socho mere love guru soch.
Akash: ek baat batao bhai. You guys spent almost an entire semester together right. And you guys seemed somewhat ok infront of your friends.
Arnav: thats because minta and tom were there. They made up these little plans.
Akash: minta. Wait that bollywood drama queen na. She is hot man. Have to admit.
Aranv humfed.
Arnav: bhai mere, yeh problem solve kar day, uska number main tujhe khud lay kar donga. Promise. Then we can double date. Okay.
Akash: deal. Minta, yeh larai tere naam. Wait. Idea. He whispered into arnav's ear. Arnav smiled.
Arnav: parents I will take care of. Okay, you just get everything ready. Okay.
Arnav went and sat with the adults for a bit.
Garima: (chetan's mom), you have to meet this boy. He is son. Since he was a child, he was and will always be my son. Arnav. I think we should get him married off soon as well. Nahin. Arnav smiled and looked down. They looked up again. Still smiling. Only if she knew he thought. Only if she knew.
Mm: haan haan. Tumhara beta hai, tho tum hi jano. Bahu tum hi lakay dena. All of the ladies laughed. Khuhi's ears were now on the adults conversation. This was getting more and more interesting by the second. She smiled and leaned her ear in a bit more. Making it look natural.
Garima: so beta. Tum batao. Kaisi larki chahey hai. Hmm. Sach sach batana.
Arnav: bilkul apkay gaisi. He chuckled. She playfully hit him.
Garima: shararthi. Batao na tho sahi.
Arnav: ma ki pasand.
Mm: meri pasand teri pasand. Tum batao tho sahi.
Arnav: well. Jo bhi hogi. Voh sirf meri ma ki bahu nahin, ghar ki bari bahu hogi. Infact khandan ki bari bahu hogi. Zimidairyan bohot hongi us par. Aisi larki chaheyeh hai jo ghar ko hi nahin, hum sab ko mila kar rakhay. Ma aur papa ko apna manay. Mere behen bhai, cousins, chacha , etc etc sab ko apnae. Makan ko ghar bananay wali larki chahey hai. Aisi mil bhi pae gi ya nahin. Pata. He chuckled and looked down. Looking at khushi from the bottom of his eyes. He then looked up and mm held his hand and smiled. Her son was really one in a million. With a heart of platinium.
Garima: Arnav beta. Tum sab say alag ho. Yahan aj kal kay bachay tho apnay ma baap ko pooch thay thak nahin hain. Aur tum aisi larki cha thay ho go unki beti ban sakay. Beta tere liye ek larki zaroor banae hogi usnay. Voh bhi tumhari tarhan lakhon main ek hogi. He smiled. The adults kept on talking. Arnav leaned into his mother and whispered.
Arnav: ma, can you take all of the adults sight seeing or something please. Yeh ek kaam kar do na ma. Please. I won't take her alone anywhere, but she wont even look at me while you guys are here. Mm laughed. And nodded.
Mm: arnav, tum log abhi sab kuch daikh kar arahay ho na. Kaisay hai.
Arnav: bohot hi acha ma. Ap loogon ko bhi daikh na chaheyhe hai. Mm insisted and got all of the adults to go. Akash got his cue. He picked up his guitar and took out his phone. Both of the guys went and sat down. Arnav purposely went and sat down beside khushi. She was a bit uncomfortable. But happy none the less.
Akash: game guys. Its a really good game. Arnav agreed and got anjali to agree. Anjali got the girls to agree. Shehnaz was already in. she just wanted to be closer to him.
Akash leaned into shehnaz side, he was sitting between her and arnav.
Akash: this is the time, you need to make him jealous. Ready. He had told her to try to ignore him a bit so he came after her. She nodded.
Akash: so, we need to make teams. Since anjali and payal are sitting together those two. Umm. Shehnaz, darling.. be mine. He said in a seductive manner. She just gave a fake smile.
Shehnaz: whatever.
Akash: leaving khushi and arnav together. I hope that is ok with you two. Khushi looked a bit hesitant.
Arnav: that's fine. He said in a plain manner. She gulped. Akash did this purposely.
Akash: ok so. The game. Mua haha. I have this random letter thing on my phone and at least one or both, depending if it is a duet, has to sing a song beginning with that letter. Okay. I will play on my guitar if need be okay. But you have to tell me the song first. Khushi and arnav chuckled / giggled. Anjali and payal were excited.
Anajli: we start. She looked at the phone. Letter was P.
her and payal started to sing the song Piya Piya from har dil do pyar karega. Everyone, but shehnaz smiled. They started to enjoy this time together.
Akash: my turn. Shehnaz will you do the honours and tell me what letter it is.
Shehnaz: ok. I dont know hindi songs though. So.. akash just did an its ok expression. She picked up the phone and it was J. he started to laugh.
Akash: Jab pyar kiya tho darna kya. Ohh. Jab pyar kiya tho darna kya. (he smiled and quickely winked towards Arnav and khushi) luckily no one saw. Khushi was first smiling but her eyes widened as he winked. She gave him an angry expression. Arnav just chuckled. Anjai and payal were enjoying themselves seeing akash and his expressions while singing. Shehnaz had no idea what was going on. She just kept on fixing her dress and sat with her hands placed on her lap as if she was the queen of England.
Akash: bhai you turn. Ready khushi. She bit her lip and smiled. He handed them the phone. Letter was T.
aranv: hmm. T.. khushi any suggestions. She smiled and just shrugged her shoulders. He smiled. And raised his eyebrows.
Aranv: ahem ahem.
Takte Rehte Tujhko Sanjh Savere
Nanion Mein Basya Jaise
Nanin Yeh Tere
Nanion Mein Basya Jaise
Nanin Yeh Tere
Tere Mast Mast Do Naian
Mere Dil Ka Le Gaye Chain
Mere Dil Ka Le Gaye Chain
Tere Mast Mast Do Naian
khushi smiled. Looked down. Bit her bottom lip. Trying as hard as she can not to let anyone notice the affect that Arnav was having on her. She gulped. Closed her eyes. Tried not to blush. Akash was playing the guitar to accompany his brother's song. Arnav did not look at her once. He wanted to, very much. But didn't. Everyone was there. He smiled as he sang the song. Moving his head side to side. Mostly towards khushi's side. Trying to give her the hint. She opened her eyes and cleared her throat. Everyone else was clapping. She looked up, smiled, and started to clap as well. She looked at shehnaz. Who was fluttering her eyes as if there was something stuck in them. She for some odd reason felt Arnav was signing for her. She sighed and stopped smiling. When will this girl stop she thought. Arnav finished and everyone cheered him.
Anjali: bhai, waisay emotion kafi tha, kiskay nain bas gae hain apkay nainoon main. Hmm. Arnav smiled and saw khushi from the side of his eyes. She was turning a bit pink.
Arnav: sigh. Kya bataon. Toronto main tho sirf goray goray nazar atay hain. Koi milaygi tho batadonga. He snarled at his response.
Payal: ok. So it's our turn, right. She picked up the phone, and the letter was V.
anjali: V? V say kya shuru hoga? She looked at payal. Payal and her were both confused. Hmmm. They both started to think.
Akash: main ek bataon. Since there are no points or anything help kar sak tha hooon. They both smiled. Akash leaned into anjalis ear and whispered a song. Everyone was confused. They smiled, yet raised their eyebrows as well. Anjali whispered it into payals ear. Akash stuck a cord on his guitar. They girls started to sing.
Anjali / payal: Vah Vah Ramjii,,, Jodi kya banaee...
Bhaiyya aur Bhabhi ko,, Bhadai ho bhadai...
sab rasmoon say bari hain rasmay dil say dil ki lagai..
khushi looked down. She didn't know how to react. Anjali and payal were dancing while sitting down. Arnav chuckled and shook his head. He looked at his mischievous brother. Who looked at him and smiled. And evil smile.
Akash: my turn. The letter is... B ..huh.. B say kya hoga?
Shehnaz: oh oh. I got this one. Don't akash. She cleared her throat.
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"
everyone was in shock. While shehnaz danced while singing. Akash tried to hold his laughter in. he hand to do something. This was too much torture for eveyrone. He started to play his guitar very very hard. Just like a rockstar. Not striking any chords. Just the actions. He then got up onto his knees and started to shake his head back and forth. He started to pretend to bang his guitar against the ground. He was turning into a rock concert. Everyeone was laughing. Everyone, except for shehnaz. She seemed a bit annoyed. Does he know that is not a rock and roll song she thought.
Khushi: akash take a bow. Please I insist. He stood up and started to take a bow. Everyone clapped for him.
Akash: thank you thank you. I would like to thank my partner for this inspiration. Of wanting to bang my guitar against the ground from hearing that song. Shehnaz was now fuming.
Akash: I meant it as a compliment gorgeous. I mean I only played for the others. But for you. I went all out. She smiled. He sat down. Everyone tried to hold their smiles in.
khushi: ahem. I guess its our turn. Right. Akash handed her the phone. The letter was C.
Khushi: C?
Arnav: C.. I did it last time. Your turn. She seemed a bit confused.
Arnav: okay. Since there is no winning or losing can you use a song choice from the internet. He took out his phone and started to search. He showed one to khushi. Her eyes widened. She gulped.
Khushi: main. Yeh. I .. I cant.
Arnav: there is nothing wrong with it. Plus we just heard a wonderful solo performance. She smiled. Okay, how about I also sing. Duet. She still shook her head negatively. Arnav was getting too too free. Especially with that song. He knew she was going to blush. She would turn red.
Anajli, payal and akash: come one khushi. Bas. Even bhai is going to sing with you. Come on, Arnav smiled. He got her in a tough position.
Khushi gulped. Khushi: then no one looks at me. Please. Otherwise I wont be able to. Arnav put this phone in the middle. Everyone looked down or the other way. Except for shehnaz. She kept a keen eye on them. Something was up. She just had this gut feeling. The way Arnav was with khushi. He was not like with payal or her. Something was fishy
Khushi:
Chori chori jab nazarein miliChori chori phir neendein udi
Chori chori yeh dil ne kaha
Chori mein bhi hai maza
Chori chori jab nazarein mili
Arnav:
Kya jaane kya mil gaya
Kya jaane kya kho gaya
Tune yeh kya kar diya
Mujhko yeh kya ho gaya
Palkein jhuki palkein uthi
Kya keh diya kya suna
Arnav glanced at her a couple of times. While she sang. While arnav sang, khushi looked down. Fixed the strand of her hair that became lose and looked at him from the corner of her eyes. Both of their hearts started to beating faster.
He went to the home screen again and saw the background picture. It was the same one from the sunset at the cottage. She smiled. This song really did talk about them. It was their eyes that met, that spoke, that became shy. And that loved.
Everyone started to clap. Yayyy,, whistling, everything. Shehnaz did a fake clap. She still was not that sure. But something was up.
Akash: kya duet hai. Wah. Filled with some much emotion. Wah. Khushi looked at him. She gave a angry smile. Arnav chuckled.
Arnav: well, it's how I sing. Kya karon. He was is full masti mood now.
Anajli picked up the phone. Letter was T.
anajli showed payal. Before they started.
Arnav: hey anjali, ek jana bataon. He got his phone. And gave it to anjali. Anjali looked at her brother weird.
Anajli: bhai, apki tabiyat tho theek hai na. Akash chuckled. Arnav did not know how to react.
Arnav: ha ha. Very funny. I really this one. And you both have a very good voice. Is liye. Hmm.
Anajli and payal:
Tum dil ki dharkan main.. reh thay ho,
reh thay ho...
they continued to sing while khushi looked down again and again. Fixing her hair sometimes. Sometimes her duppata. She tried very hard to keep her cheeks from turning red.
Arnav: thanks anjali. So sweet of you. Anajli smiled. And gave him his phone.
Akah: so its my turn. Letter is C. ok, I got it. Bhai, this one is for you. He smiled. He knew his brother was up to something. Anjali join in with me okay.
Akash: Chote Chote bhaiyoon kay baray bhaiyya,
Aj banaygay kisi kay sainyaan.
Anjali also started to sing. She nudged payal and she also joined in. khushi smiled and clapped. Akash enjoyed this.
Shehnaz: akash why are you singing all wedding songs. I mean you gave anjali that waa waa ramaji , and now this.
Akash put his arm around her shoulder.
Akash: hint babes. It's a hint. Arnav and khushi looked at akash in shock. Their eyes widened. Both stopped breathing. They both gave him I will kill you look.
Shehnaz: hint. For what. I don't follow.
Akash: that is nothing new. I mean. Umm. Hint that Arnav needs to get married soon. Because not until he gets married, I have to wait. And I can't wait that much longer. So he is the kabab main haddi for me and my future wife. He moved his arm and joined his hands and bend his head down infront of his brother in a pleading manner.
Akash: bhai, shaadi kar lo. Varna meri jawani baiyakar gae gi. Everyone was laughing. Khushi took a big sigh of relief. She closed her eyes. Arnav chuckled and smack akash on the back of his head.
Arnav picked up the phone. Letter was J. that is what he was waiting for. He smirked.
anjali: bhai phone dayna. I want to find one this time. Aranv smiled and gave her his phone. Khushi was also smiling then stopped. Eyes widened.
Khushi: ahh. Voh.. tasveer.. tasveer ka bhi tho ek jana hai na. That starts with that letter. Tasveer wala. She smiled. Trying to give Arnav the hint. His eye widened. What did he just do. He grabbed the phone from anjali as she pressed the on button. She was shocked.
He gulped.
Arnav: I know which one she is talking about. I mean, they are the guest. Okay anjali. She seemed scared by her brothers reaction. He was speaking faster than usual. As if trying to hide something.
He searched on his phone. And smiled as he found what he was looking for.
Arnav: khushi mind if I take this one. Khushi smiled and nodded negatively. Arnav looked at akash and winked. Akash got his signal.
Arnav: ahem ahem. Hinting to khushi, that this was for her.
Jhuma chumma day day.. everyone was laughing. Arnav nudged his head towards akash who was rolling on the floor laughing. Khushi was coughing non-stop. Her hand covering her mouth. She was in shock. She remembered how he asked her to kiss him under the bridge. She got him good at that time, but this time, he got her better.
Arnav: akash. Sing with me.
Akash: no bhai. Please continue. I will join you after.
Arnav: fine.
meri jaaneman
bahar nikal
aaj jumma hai
aaj ka waada hai
dekh main aa gaya
tu bhi jaldi aa
mujhe mat aur tadpa
are tu boli thi pichhle jumme ko
chumma doongi agle jumme ko
aaj jumma hai to...
Akash anjali and payal all joined arnav. Khushi just clapped
aaja aaja
aaja aaja aaja aaja hey'
jumma chumma de de
jumma chumma de de chumma
Arnav and akash both stood on their knees and did a high five. Everyone was laughing.
Khushi just smiled. A huge smile. Fine, daikh thay hain she thought. She would need to give a reply to this.
Anjali: I don't think there could be a better ending than this for this game. They all agreed.
Shehnaz: umm. I saw this wonderful ice cream parlour before we came into the park. Why dont we all go there. It's a couple of minutes drive. Hmm. She wanted to spend some time along with Arnav. And this was her way. With everyone else there. She wouldn't be able to. Akash knew what she was thinking.
Akash: yes. Wonderful idea. But since there are 6 people why dont you guys all go. I am going to stay back here for a bit. He hinted to his brother to agree. Arnav was confused.
Arnav: let me inform the parents. He called and told MM, she agreed. Akash stayed a bit back. But started to write a message.
Arnav: let's take my car. They all started to walk towards the parking lot. Akash just needed to wait for a couple of minutes.
He followed behind though. They all reached the car. Arnav wanted khushi to sit in the front, but knew it was not right. Anjali waited at the side so all could get in. payal went in. shehnaz was next.
Shehnaz: anjali, you go in. I want to sit in the front. Ok dear. go. She said with a huge attitude. Khushi was in shock. Arnav was opening his door but stopped. He looked at khushi. Their eyes met. She was about to cry. She some how managed to say a few words.
Khushi: you guys go. Payal you chose anything for me. ok. I am going to go and check if the parents need anything. Without letting anyone stop her she turned around. She didn't want anyone to see her cry or her eyes moist. Akash sent his message to arnav. Anajli got at the back. Annoyed. Shehnaz sat in the front. Put her seat belt on and was checking her lipstick in the rear view mirror. Pouting it. Arnav got a message.
Aranv: I forgot something. I will be right back. She looked at him. And smiled.
Shehnaz: I will be waiting. Anjali raised her hands from the back about to strangle her. Payal stopped her. Arnav started to run back.
Khushi was crying, akash stopped her. And put his arm around her shoulder.
Akash: hey desi girl. Sorry. Khushi bhabhi. Yeh angariz hai na. Voh daikhain.. apka... vohhh. Agaya. She looked up and smiled. But stopped.
Khushi: khud nahin rok thay hain na usko. I am not going. You guys go. ok. She turned around and started to walk away.
Arnav: akash here are the keys. Give me the keys to your car. I will bring her. go. Akash gave his keys. And ran to the car. He waited for shehnaz to keep looking at her self in her small purse mirror now. He sat in and started to drive before she could stop him. He later put on the seat belt.
Shehnaz: hey, you can't drive this. Its arnav's car.
Akash: exactly. My BROTHER'S car. And he told me to. The parents needed him for something. Its fine na. I dont see any problem. Right anjali and payal. He looked at them in the rear view mirror both were laughing. Akash smiled. Shehnaz was annoyed. How did this happen. Argh.
Aranv ran to khushi and grabbed her hand.
Kushi: leave me. I dont want to go. Okay.
Arnav: look at me please. Hmm
khushi: no.
Aranv: hey. Come on. Don't be like this. Please. Don't spoil your mood because of one sour apple in the batch. Hmm. Khushi looked at him.
He took a few steps closer to her. She looked down. A small smile on her face. She sighed. All she needed was him close to her. Bas. He cupped her face. His fingers behind her ears, and thumb on her cheek. He pushed her head a bit up. She looked at him. In a husky voice he softly said..
Arnav: chori chori jab nazrain mili...chori chori phir neendein udi. Chori chori yeh dil ne kaha. Chori mein bhi hai maza
she smiled.
He turned around to face the parking lot direction. She pulled her hand out and hooked her finger onto his. They looked at each other and smiled. The went and sat in the car.
Precap: shehnaz does something at the parlour. ;) and this time. Anjali is about to kick but! :P
