Just a thought about how today's (the hut scene) episode should have happened (of course, imagine that there was a plant with a huge flower near them, that will hide the liplock 😆)
-------------
Arnav stood up and slowly looked over the rock; there was no sight of the kidnappers. He heaved a sigh of relief and sat down next to Khushi, who was leaning against the rock. They were sitting, hidden behind a huge rock, in a small section in the forest, that was covered with boulders on most of the sides. They were both tired and panting heavily from running for the past few hours. The kidnappers were right behind them the last time they checked, but maybe they had lost them when they started running through the dense trees. Arnav looked at Khushi, she was looking at him with teary eyes. She put her arms around him. "Thank god, Arnavji. Thank god you are alright." He hugged her back and smiled. "Khushi, I am fine. Please stop crying. I am here with you now. Shhh.." She pulled away and wiped her tears. Then she noticed that his face was bleeding. She wiped the blood away with her dupatta. Arnav smiled watching Khushi carefully wiping his face. He remembered how he had wiped the blood off her finger when she had cut herself with glass and off her hand when she had cut herself with her bangles. He remembered how she had stayed up all night to take care of him when he had fainted. He lifted his hand, touched her face and tucked her hair behind her ear. She noticed that her sleeve was torn. She tried to hide it with her dupatta. Arnav looked away since Khushi looked embarrassed. Suddenly there was a strong wind. Arnav looked at Khushi, her hair was flying in the wind; she was breathing heavily and shivering slightly. Arnav moved closer to her, took her arm and pulled her closer. She crashed against his chest. He put his arms around her, put his head on her head and squeezed her. "Are you cold, Khushi?" he asked softly. She closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of his embrace; she could hear his heart beating fast, "Not anymore." Arnav closed his eyes and smiled.
Suddenly, there was some noise. "Did you find them?" a voice asked. Arnav's eyes opened. The kidnappers! Khushi pulled away, but Arnav looked at her and shook his head. She moved back closer to him and grabbed his arms tightly. He wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes; his heart beating faster, worried that they might get caught again. "No, maybe they went this way", replied another voice. They heard shuffling and voices fading. Khushi pulled away from Arnav and took his face in her hands. "Arnavji, I don't want to lose you again." Tears rolled down her cheeks. He touched her wrists, shook his head and started saying something. She touched his lips with her finger and then took his hands in hers. They looked at each other and smiled, enjoying each other's company. For a few moments, the world was quiet; no hate in their minds, no sorrow; just pure happiness that they found each other finally, relief that they were alright and the newly discovered emotion of love that they realized that they felt towards each other. There was a slight breeze; Khushi's hair flew into her eye. She slowly tucked it behind her ear. Arnav looked at her, realizing how beautiful she looked. Khushi rubbed her eye; some dust had fallen in. Arnav, still mesmerized by her beauty, grabbed her wrist and moved it away. She looked at him, her heart beating faster. He moved closer and blew into her eye. He wiped the dust off her face and she closed her eyes feeling his touch. His heart was racing; she was just so beautiful. He watched as she started breathing rapidly. He took her face in his hands and moved closer to her. She gulped, knowing what was going to happen next. She wanted to pull away, but something made her freeze; she wanted to feel her husband's lips on her. She knew she couldn't bear the pleasure; so she grabbed her dupatta and shut her eyes even tighter. Arnav gulped; he couldn't think straight, in fact, he didn't want to think; for once, all he could see was his wife's beautiful face and her red lips that were trembling, waiting to be kissed. He closed his eyes and softly kissed her lips; her hands released her shawl and she put her hands around him. She felt faint; her heart felt content, happy, knowing that her husband loved her; he wanted her; he needed her.
When they pulled away from the kiss, Khushi blushed and turned away. Arnav smiled and put his hand under her chin. "Khushi, I thought I will never see you again.. I thought.. that's why I had to say.." Khushi looked at him, teary-eyed. She remembered how he had said "I love you". She took his hand in hers. "Arnavji, when you said.. I knew.. I knew something was wrong. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't breathe. I was going crazy not knowing what had happened to you!" She hugged him again and he hugged her back. The strong bond that they shared since they met finally had a name; love!
Arnav opened his eyes; he didn't realize that he had fallen asleep. Suddenly he remembered, Khushi, he started calling out her name but then he looked down and he saw his wife, sleeping peacefully, her head on his chest, safe in his arms. It was almost daylight. He grabbed her shoulders lightly and tried to move her aside, but her hand was grabbing his shirt. He smiled and slowly took her hand, kissed it and then moved her against the rock. He slowly got up and looked over the rock. He couldn't see the kidnappers anywhere. He sat down and softly said, "Khushi, wake up. We need to start moving". Khushi woke up, startled. She looked at Arnav and hugged him, tears running down her cheeks. "Thank god, you are still here with me." He pulled away, touched her face and said, "Yes, Khushi, I will always be with you. Now we need to go." He took her hand and they slowly started walking, trying to make as little sound as possible. As they were walking, Khushi turned back, thinking she heard some sound behind them. She turned around and crashed into a tree. She screamed and Arnav turned around, "Khushi, what happened? Are you alright?" Khushi was standing, rubbing her hand on her forehead, her face filled with pain. Arnav started to say something, when they heard some noise behind them. Khushi looked over her shoulder and she saw the goons carrying guns, running towards them. Without thinking, Arnav and Khushi started running again, hand-in-hand; the goons were gaining on them.
Finally they reached a dead end; there was a big rock in front and big boulders on one side. There was a river flowing below them on the other side. They could hear the goons approaching. Arnav and Khushi looked at each other. "Khushi, do you know how to swim?" Khushi nodded. "Khushi, I want you to jump and save yourself. They will not come after you; they need me". Khushi shook her head. "I am not leaving you, Arnavji. I almost lost you once. I cannot bear the thought of something happening to you!" He took her face in his hands, "Khushi, I cannot live if something were to happen to you". He moved his face closer and he kissed her forehead. When he moved his face away, she had tears running down her cheeks and she put her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "No, I won't let you go. No! Please don't leave me again." He grabbed her arms, moved away and said, "I'm sorry, Khushi." They could hear the goons' feet, their voices were clearer; they were close. Arnav took one last look at Khushi and pushed her into the river. She looked at his face, as she was falling; he was looking at her, his eyes filled with love, his face filled with pain. She closed her eyes as she hit the water. Arnav closed his eyes as he turned to face his enemies.
