Part 48

An hour and a half passed when some one knocked on his door. He looked at the clock. It was 11:45pm. Who could it be at this hour he thought. He got up. Still half a sleep. He opened the door. It was the bell boy. He yawned. Putting his hand on his mouth.

Boy: this is for you sir. He pushed the trolly in. arnav moved to the side.

Arnav: me? Who sent this.

Boy: they asked me not to tell you sir. Enjoy your night sir. The boy smirked at aranv and walked out. Arnav was confused. The trolly had a huge white silk clothe covering it. Aranv moved the clothe. He saw a bunch of roses. Red, long stem roses. Each with a note attached. He smiled. He picked up the first rose top of the first. The card had the number 1 on it. It meant this ws the first card that needed to be opened. One by one he opened each card and placed the roses on the bed.

Arnav smiled. He was very surprised. Pleasantly surprised that she had sent him this. Khushi, who would always look down, had sent him roses. Each with a note that reminded him of each and everyone of their special moments. She always managed to touch his heart. In one way or another. But this time, she lived in it. He got up and put the roses and card on the bed. He went to the bathroom to freshen up. He was sleeping and didnt want to make a bad impression on her. He started to take out the gel to put on his hair but stopped. He put it back in. smiled. He remembered when they stayed at the hotel last week. He Looked at him self in the mirror and brought some of the soft strands of hair across his forehead. She liked it like that. He fixed his shirt, put on a little bit of cologne. Enough not to make it seem as if he got ready to meet her. He was ready. He grabbed his phone and closed his door behind him. He stood in front of hers. Nervous to say the least. What was khushi up to. Why did she send him such a romantic surprise. His mind was filled with questions. But his face had the biggest smile. He was not able to hold his joy in. his eyes had the sparkle in them. He knocked on the door. She did not open but spoke from inside.

Khushi: arnav is that you?

Arnav: yes...

khushi: can you please close your eyes. Can cover your eyes with this. She slightly opened the door and poked her hand out. It was a long black blindfold. He took it. He was shocked. Eye brows raised. But still did as he was asked. After a few seconds she peeked her head out. Making sure not to show anything. She very quietly opened the door and took his hand. He started to smirk.

Arnav: khushi. What is going on.

Khushi: shhh. Koi sun lay ga. She slowly pulled him in. while holding his hand, she guided him in.

arnav: khushi...

khushi: wait. Just three more minutes please. Stay right here. Okay. He heard khushi lite a match. He could hear her one payal tinkle while she was walking around the room. Doing something. He folded his hands in front of him. She touched his shoulders from the back and made him turn around a bit.

Khushi: 5... 4...3...2...1... she then slowly untied the blindfold. He opened his eyes. His eyes widened. Jaw dropped. A huge smile played on his lips. He looked around the entire room. It was dimmed light, rose scented candles lit up everywhere. With a table in the center. A single long candle stand with a white candle lit in the middle. And in front of it. A small chocolate cake. With a single candle in it. Its flame shining. Rose petals scattered all across the top of the white silk table cover. He was spellbound. Khushi was still behind him. She took two steps back. He turned around to see her. His eyes widened at the sight. His heart skipped a few beats. He gulped. His hands turning cold. He was losing strength to stand on his own two legs.

Khushi was looking down. Her hair tied up in a french bun. Her bangs gently caressing her forehead. Her kajal perfectly outlining her big eyes. Light soft pink lip stick on her luscious lips. She was biting her bottom lip. She was blushing tremendously. His eyes slowly made their way down. He smiled. She was wearing the dress that he baught for her. When they were first going to see the parents. She looked stunning. Breath taking. Amazing. These were just words that were coming to his mind. It was a long black dress. No sleeves, no straps. Just a silver beaded lace turned around the neck and crossing in the front. You could tell that the back was low. Very low. From the way the dress caressed her figure from under her arms. Her back and shoulders were quite exposed. He noticed her heavy breathing. Her shoulders bending more and more in. her chest heaving heavily. His eyes traveled more down. She was wearing black stelletoes. With black beads in the front. She never wore heels. She had her hands behind her. But today she looked different. A girl who would always make sure that duppta was properly covering her, looked down never to to meet anyones gaze. Who was shy enough not to talk to guys. Who was the perfect type of daughter in law that any mother would want for her son. Was standing in front of him. Letting her guard down. She was becoming very bold in front of him. First the roses, the notes, the candles, the cake, but what was the most surprising for him was what she wore. She did this all. Just for him. She stood there in this, like this. Just for him. She allowed him to see her like this. She herself came in front of him like this. He gulped. Trying to control his emotions. In a very soft, and husky voice... he whispered...

arnav: khushi...she closed her eye and gave a deep breath out. Her chest sinking by the sound of his husky voice. He slowly walked towards her. She heard his foot steps and gulped. Her heart started to race. He stopped right in front of her. Her eyes shut tightly. She could smell his cologne. He was close. She could hear his heart beat. He was near. He raised his hand and very delicately placed his finger under her chin. He gently pushed it up. Her eyes still closed. She was still biting her bottom lip. She gulped. He could see her nervousness. He smirked. A sparkle shined in his eyes. His eyes were full of desire. But his mind told him to control. With the same hand he took it to the back and pulled out the one pin that held her hair up. Her silky hair rolled down. He raised his hand again and placed his fingers on the side of her forehead. There was a long strand of hair that was out of place. He very very slwoly, and gently started to slid his two fingers down. Softly caressing her forehead, then her took it behind her ear. He didnt stop there. He let his fingers trail the strand while sliding his fingers along the side of her ear. To her neck. And slowly stopping at bottom of her neck. He very gently then moved his hands back. The tingling sensation of his touch along her ear felt like sparks. But when he didnt stop. She started to turn her head the other way. More tightly closing her eyes. from the head the other way. His continued touch send a shiver down her spine. She gulped. Lips parted. Giving out a big sigh. He loved the affect he was having on her.

Aranv: now its perfect. He then again placed his finger under her chin and brought her face facing him. Her eyes still closed. She was breathing heavily.

Arnav: khushi... aankhain nahin khologi? She smiled and negatively shook her head. He chuckled.

Arnav: okay. Ek baat pooch sak tha hoon. She nodded her head. He moved his finger and put his hands in his pockets. A gently smile came on his face.

Arnav: why am I getting such pleasant surprises? She smiled. She slowly brought her hands to the front. She had another rose. She looked down. Her eyeslisghtly opened. But too shy to look up. He smiled and took the rose. He slowly opened the note that was attached to its stem. The clock struck 12. he read the note..."Happy Birthday" .. he smiled.

Arnav: how did you know. She smiled. And sucked her bottom lip in. his phone rang. He took it out.

Arnav: ma ka phone hai. I wil call her back later. He was about to reject it but she placed her hand on his.

Khushi: you should answer it. She looked up at him and smiled. A soft smile. She was now a part of his life. But did not want to seperate him from the people that were already a part of his life. She wanted to join him and his family. Not take over them.

Arnav: I will call her back. Its fine.

Khushi: Ma hain. Pehlay unsay baat kar lain. They all want to wish you as well. She smiled and went and sat at the table. He answered it and joined her. He placed the rose on the table right in front of him.

Arnav: thanks ma. You remembered. '...Haan ma. I am fine. '...Just resting at a hotel. '. no she is in her room... ( he looked at her and winked. Khushi giggled softly.) theek hai usko bhi phone dain dain.. anjali took the phone from her. She started to walk off. Not wanting her mother to hear her conversation.

Anjali: happy birthday bhai..

Arnav: thanks anjali.. hehe. What are you doing up this late? '.

anjali: I was up so I could wish you. By the way. How did you like my suprise huh...

arnav: ohhh.. soo you are the one who told her... interestesing... they both laughed while looking at each other.

Anjali: bhai. Is my surprise over there right now.

Arnav: maybe..

anjali: bhai. Apko sharam nahin ati. I mean. Ahdhi raat ko, mere best friend kay kamray main hain ap.

Arnav: well anjali. I hope ma is not near you. And no. I am not with your best friend right now. I am with mines. Khushi bit her bottom lip. Anajli laughed.

Anjali: bhai ma is coming with eveyrone. I think they all want to sing you happy birthday. Kya kahon. Aranv whispered to khushi what anjali just siad. She took the phone and put it on speaker. And got the knife to cut the cake. Arnav smiled. She tried to pass the knife to him, but he held her hand. He got up and went and stood behind her. He was now slouching over her shoulder. One hand rested on her chair. And the other holding her hand to cut the cake.

Arnav: its fine anjali. Give it to them. He put the phone on speaker. Anajli put the phone on speaker. His entire family started to sing him Happy Birthday and he and khushi cut the cake together. They both smiled. She remained silent. He thanked them all and hung up the phone. He now came back and sat in front of her. He cut a small piece and fed it to khushi. Khushi took the rest of the piece in his hand and fed him.

Arnav: so. Anjali told you. She nodded her head.

Arnav: and when did you manage to do all this? With the cards, decoration, and all.

Khushi: cards I wrote in the car. And the rest I did once I came in the room. I was running around my house finding everything. Remember. He chuckled. She was something.

Arnav: khushi. Can I ask you for something. Please. Khushi looked at him, smiled and nodded.

He got up and went right in front of her. He bent down on one knee. And held his hand out.

Arnav: may I have this dance. Her smile grew and she very delicately placed her hand in his. Aranv stood up. So did khushi.

Arnav took out his phone and put on a song.

He put his phone on the table. There was a little bit of an area where the both of them could just stand. The atmosphere was perfect. The reflection of them in the candles lights was driving them insane. The soft scent of roses was mesmerizing. The hand he was holding of hers, he put on his shoulder. She looked down shyly. He very slowly slid both of his hands around her waist. Slowly and gently pulling her closer. She raised her other hand and placed it on his other shoulder. They started to sway side to side. Very gently and very slowly. He leaned his head towards her ear.

Arnav: khushi. Please look at me. Please. Mujhe tumhari aankhain dakh ni hain. He moved his head back. She blushed. Very gradually she raised her eyes to meet his loving gaze. The dim reflection of the candles added a special shine to her big eyes. His eyes spoke volumes. She saw love, passion, desire, purity, comfort and warmth in his eyes. His eyes reflected what was in his heart. And in his heart, was her. Only her. They just stared at each other. With each sway, they would get a bit closer. And closer.. and closer. His heart was beating faster. He was not able to control much right now. He closed his eyes. And gently placed his forehead against hers. She closed her eyes. He closed his. Both of their hearts beating together. This moment was theirs. He moved his face a bit so that their noses gently touched each others. Their heart beats started to gradually increase. He rubbed his nose back and forth against her. Her mouth was closed. So was his. They could feel the warmth of the air from their noses on each other. Both took deep deep breathes. Cherishing ever second. When his nose was a bit back. He softly whispered.

Arnav: thank you for making this birthday my most memorable one. She smiled. She quietly whispered.

Khushi: your welcome. He slid his hands from around her waist to a bit more of towards her back. Bringing them closer. He moved his head back.

Arnav: waisay khushi... you still owe me something. Khushi opened her eyes and looked at him curiously. Eye brows furrowed. Arnav chuckled. He leaned into her ear and started to whisper.

Arnav: during the picnic. Under the bridge. Her eyes widened. Her heart skipped a beat. She closed her eyes. And sucked in her bottom lip. Her slowly slid her lip out and kept her mouth shut. She looked down. Arnav slowly and teasingly rubbed his cheek against hers. The feeling of the ruble and goti against her smooth skin tickled her. She giggled. But quickly closed her mouth tightly again. She gulped. He moved his head back. He smirked. He leaned into her cheek. He first touched the tip of his nose on her cheek and teased her by rubbing it side to side. He then placed his lips on her cheek. She smiled. The strong bristles from his goti were tickling her cheek. She very slowly started to turn her head towards him not knowing that he would be moving his head a bit back. Unknowlingly the sides of their lips gently slid against each other. Both of their eyes widened. Breathing stopped. Both gulped. Hearts skipped a beat. He moved his head a bit back. And looked into her eyes. She looked at his. Both were shocked. They did know how to react or respond. He looked at her lips. Her mouth was shut. His lips were parted. She could see the desire he had in his eyes as he stared her lips. She felt the same. He looked into her eyes.. she slowly slid her hands from his chest to a bit on top to his shoulders. Arnav sensed this. He was a bit confused. Was she allowing them to get closer.

Khushi had many thought run through her mind. He was always there for her. Never asked for anything. And he never will. She knew this much. He always showered his love and support. He respected her, treated her with dignity. Her parents loved him. They called him their own son. He has always proven the depths of his love for her. This time, it was khushi's turn to prove hers.

arnav's eyes: are you sure? His eyes brows slightly furrowed. She looked down. Then slowly raised her eyes and smiled. Their hearts were beating faster and faster. He leaned in. she closed her eyes. Her mouth still closed. Her chest heaving. She gulped. His nose touched hers. And slid to one side. Their lips inches centimeters apart. His heart was racing. Hers was not under her control. The warm air coming from her nose was crashing on his lips. He gulped. Hessitantly he whispered. The quivering in his voice was showing how nervous he was. He closed his eyes. He was never wrong in reading her eyes or her hints. But this was something else.

Arnav: khushi...mmm..mmayyy. I? He licked his lips. The hot air from his breath crashed against her lips. Were they ready for this?

Precap: I know I know. I am a very very very cruel, evil, mean person. Leaving you all here. Heheheheh. Sorry kya karain. I want to built the suspence. Hehehe..
