Hey guys,
Okay so I've been working really hard on this next part and it's VERY long so, enjoy... Please read the note at the bottom...
Arriving at the hotel.
Arnav had gotten into the car angry at himself and Khushi who was already in the car was silently observing him. Arnav put his seatbelt on and stayed deadly quiet making for a very awkward atmosphere in the car. It was beginning to make Khushi feel very guilty. Five minutes passed and she could bear it no longer. She had to make the first move.
She shuffled over to him and tried to snuggle into him. Arnav stayed rigid, like an icicle.
Khushi sighed... Maybe she took it a step too far with the whole security guard thing.
She moved to sit on his lap and attempted to snuggle into his chest again. Arnav relaxed a bit.
"I'm sorry..." Khushi said in a tiny voice.
Arnav didn't say anything.
"Would it help if I told you;" khushi paused and began to play with her hands. "when I saw the security guard i might have maybe... y'know told him..." Khushi paused again...
Arnav was dreading the worst Khushi took a deep breath
"my husband lost the key and asked if he had a spare one " Khushi was still playing with her hands.
Arnav smiled.
"That's it?!" Arnav breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ya"
Arnav could not stop smiling, he put his arms around his wife feeling a lot better, but then he frowned as he wondered out loud.
"Then why did you make it out to be such a big deal?"
"I had to... You handcuffed me to a trolley..." Khushi circled her finger on Arnav's chest.
Arnav chuckled, and Khushi smiled as she snuggled further into her husband.
They were in their own small world, and all was forgotten and put behind them. Khushi had almost fallen asleep-almost. She couldn't stop thinking that she was forgetting something... Something important... and then it clicked. Her eyes flew open. Arnav felt Khushi stiffen slightly.
"Arnavji..."
"What's wrong?"
The car parked at the hotel.
"You didn't say sorry to me"
Arnav was confused... where was this coming from?
Arnav stayed silent as he helped Khushi get out of the car, praying that khushi would forget, because quite frankly he had no clue as to what Khushi was talking about. Arnav had no such luck... Khushi stood on the pavement tapping her foot waiting for an answer.
"Arnavji, I want an answer?!" Khushi whined.
"Sorry for what?" Arnav asked as he got out of the car.
"WHAT?!?" Khushi yelled.
Arnav looked at Khushi shocked by her sudden outburst.
"Khushi, calm down!"
"I'm not going to calm down! You didn't even apologise to me?! Even after I threw water on you?! You still don't get it?!? ARRRGGHH! I take my sorry from earlier back!! AND MY HUG! " Khushi yelled and then stomped off into the hotel.
Arnav stared open mouthed after his wife.
"What?" Arnav was confused.
He replayed Khushi's rant in his head.
OH CRAP!
He dropped the bags, told the porter to take care of it and ran after Khushi.
Khushi stood in the lobby fuming and muttering, occasionally pausing to growl.
"Khushi," Arnav tried to put his arm around Khushi's waist in an attempt to pull her close into a hug. Khushi narrowed her eyes at him daring him to continue, Arnav immediately dropped his arm.
"I-I-I'll just check in" Arnav stuttered a bit for the first time in his life. His wife was in a murderous rage and if looks could kill he would be dead.
As he walked to the check-in, his mind was in overdrive.
What the hell just happened? Did I stutter? Arnav Singh Raizaida never stutters... But she looked really annoyed... Oh god! I should've given in...
Arnav ran his hand through his hair stressed. He reached the check-in counter and automatically went into autopilot as he signed forms and waited for the key for their penthouse suite.
She is going to make my life hell!
He glanced over at Khushi, she was pacing up and down angrily, she was still muttering to herself.
Okay how do I fix this?
He looked back again at his wife... She still looked uber angry.
No, I'm not even going to say anything more than the bare minimum... I'll wait for her to calm down a bit.
Arnav took the key from the receptionist and walked back to Khushi. She didn't even look up at him.
"Khushi, um...I got the key. Shall we go?"
Khushi ignored him and walked straight past him to the lift, and went inside. Arnav sighed. He hesitated for a second and then joined her in the lift.
Luckily no-one else was in the lift, which gave Arnav a chance to manaoify(<-- thats totally a word haha..) his wife.
"Khushi-"
"I'm not talking to you" Khushi folded her arms, annoyed.
"Sorry jaanu," Arnav took a step closer to Khushi.
"Hmmph, what for?" Khushi asked still annoyed.
Arnav remembered what Khushi had said sleepily in the airport.
He came closer to her and put his arms around her waist again.
"I should have listened to you and I'm sorry for taking your jalebis away."
"Hmmm," Khushi unfolded her arms, it was no use, she just couldn't stay angry with him, especially when he was so close.
She began to smile. Her husband was just too good. He smelled delicious, and it made her just want to melt in his arms. After a couple of seconds. She gave in and stepped forward into his warm embrace.
Thank God she talks in her sleep! Arnav thought to himself. Otherwise I would have been screwed.
The lift had almost reached their room.
"Feeling better?" Arnav asked Khushi.
"Ya." Khushi replied.
"Good." Arnav picked her up, and Khushi automatically hooked her legs around his torso and put both arms round his neck
"Arnavji, what are you doing? Let me down, what if someone sees us like this."
"There's no-one here but me and you. Plus I have to carry you over the threshold" Arnav kissed her on the cheek.
Khushi's heart fluttered.
"What about the cameras? Don't all lifts have cameras?
Arnav was just about to seal the deal and kiss Khushi on the mouth. He froze when he heard the word "cameras" and immediately looked around the lift, trying to see if he could see any cameras.
He looked at Khushi... "There are cameras? How do you know?"
"Ya. They put them there in case the lift gets stuck. I saw it in a tv programme once."
Arnav rolled his eyes.
She watches way too much tv.
Arnav could think of nothing to say. After a minute he settled with;
"Wow... Okay that's creepy... You mean someone could be watching us? Urghh.." Arnav shivered. "You totally just killed the mood" he told his wife.
"Arnav Singh Raizada I am not going to do the deed in a lift out of all places"
The lift doors opened and Arnav carried Khushi into the room. Khushi leaned in to kiss Arnav. Their mouths were inches apart when Khushi's phone rang. They both groaned simultaneously and Arnav put Khushi back down on the floor.
"I bet it's Di" Khushi said.
Arnav raised his eyebrow.
"Well it's just whenever we have a moment, she phones us, or she calls one of us, or she walks in on us."
Arnav said nothing. Khushi fumbled for her phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello madam, it's Aman here. May I please speak to ASR?"
"Ya sure."
Khushi handed the phone over to Arnav.
"It's Aman..."
"Why's Aman calling your phone?"
Khushi shrugged.
"I dunno... Ask him..."
Arnav took the phone from her.
"Aman, why are you calling on my wife's phone?"
Khushi took this chance to walk and look around the suite, she had been too distracted with her husband to notice anything before, but now as she looked around she gasped. It was amazing. The room was huge. The walls were cream and had borders of black swirling patterns. As soon as she walked in there was a reception area with a table in the middle. On the table there were fresh flowers that had been picked earlier in the day. Khushi picked the vase up and inhaled the fragrance of the flowers. She was beginning to feel giddy with joy. They were going to be living here for a Whole Week!
Khushi couldn't believe her luck. Khushi wandered into the living room. The first thing she noticed, was there was a massive 50 inch plasma screen tv.
I wonder if any Indian tv channels come on in Dubai, she thought to herself.
There was a cream long L-shaped couch it had the most luscious black rug in the centre. Khushi took off her shoes and walked barefooted on the rug. It felt so warm and fuzzy. Khushi giggled with glee. She lay down like as starfish on the rug and looked up at the ceiling. khushi took a sharp breathe in, because, hanging from the ceiling was a giant chandelier.
I bet i can touch it khushi thought to herself.
khushi jumped to her feet, and reached up to see if she could touch it.
"nyeh..." khushi stretched her arms as far as she could and stood on the tip of her toes.
Still no luck. She started to jump. She almost touched it.
One more time... I was so close...
Khushi stood on her toes, and tried to work out how far she could jump.
"Khushi what are you doing?"
Khushi jumped, lost her balance and ended up on the floor.
"Oof! Arnavji! Next time warn me when you're going to try and scare the living daylights out of me. If you must know" she continued indignantly, "I'm trying to touch it"
"Touch what?"
"The glass thingy on the ceiling"
"You mean the chandelier?"
"The what?"
"Never mind. I need to talk to you about something. Aman said he couldn't get through to me on my phone, know anything about it?"
"Nope..." Khushi said automatically. She stared at the ceiling still trying to find out how to reach the chandelier.
"Khushi, are you sure? Because I tried to charge my phone and nothing happened. Do you know why?"
Khushi looked at him confused. In truth, she hadn't been paying any attention to him, she was still calculating about the jump...
Arnav, on the other hand, thought Khushi was indicating she had no knowledge of what happened to the phone.
"No? Okay, then and this is the best bit, when I opened my phone to remove the battery, there was no battery."
"Oh.."
"Oh? So you know what I'm talking about?" Arnav sounded annoyed. He took a step closer to her. Khushi nodded as she instinctively took a step back.
"Khushi Kumaari Gupta Singh Raizada, what did you do?" Arnav's voice was getting scarier.
Arnav took a step forward towards Khushi, after each word, and Khushi kept stepping back until the inevitable happened and she backed up against the wall.
"Well..." Khushi faltered. Arnav was inches away from her now, and as always she couldn't keep track of her thoughts when he came so close.
"Well?" Arnav prompted.
Khushi tried to duck out of the way. Arnav put his arm on the wall blocking her from moving.
Well there's no escape now... Just get it over and done with Khushi.
Khushi closed her eyes, took a deep breath and tried to say it as quickly to get it over and done with it.
"I took the battery out of the phone."
"KHUSHI! DAMN IT!"
Arnav banged his fist against the wall. Khushi jumped.
"What the hell is wrong with you Khushi?!" Arnav almost yelled.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY IMPORTANT BUSINESS CALLS I MISSED BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PRANK?!" Arnav roared.
Tears began to well up in Khushi's eyes.
"I-l-l only did it because you didn't listen to me on the plane! I was teaching you a lesson!"
Wrong thing to say, at exactly the wrong time.
"WHAT?!? ALL THIS BECAUSE I TOOK YOUR DAMN JALEBI'S AWAY?!"
Tears were streaming down Khushi's face. Arnav had never yelled at her like this before.
Arnav realised Khushi was crying and he felt a pang of guilt. He took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
He was still majorly annoyed though.
"Where is the battery now?! Hand it over!" Arnav said through gritted teeth, he held his hand out expectantly.
Khushi still had her handbag with her. She took out the battery and shoved it in arnav's outstretched hand. Arnav moved back to catch his balance.
"Here! TAKE YOUR PRECIOUS DAMN BATTERY!!" She yelled at him and pushed him away from her. She ran to the bedroom sobbing.
Sounds depressing huh?
But there is a giant plan to my writing...
I hope y'all like it, I wrote a long update last time but only half opened their messages, I'm guessing its because its the weekend, so I'll wait for either four days or four pages of comments before I update again.
Please tell me what you think, because I think this update deserves it, I mean it's huge and it took me 10 hours at least to write, especially with the whole description part which I am rubbish at...
If you want updates please add me as a buddy
Love you all
Xoxo
