Khushi was surrounded by noise.
Wedding.
Date.
Ceremony.
Flowers.
Reception dinner.
"When I see Arnavji I swear I will..."
Her thoughts were cut short by the strong presence of her fiance entering the room...
"Ok Di...I'm sure you need Khushi to approve of all that crap I saw in your room...why don't you take her upstairs..."
Khushi's jaw dropped...
"He HASN'T come to my rescue!?" she thought...
"Exactly chote! Payalji, Khushiji...come!"
Anjali and Payal grabbed Khushi's hands and began to drag her away...
She glared ruefully at Arnav as she passed him...
He winked and strode away...
...
After a very long and tedious 20 minutes sorting through more magazines and samples, Khushi finally managed to escape...
She slumped onto her bed and yawned...
"So...much...to decide!" she thought...
"And he just LEFT me there!" she growled as she crossed her arms over her chest...
But soon, her face molded into a smile...
She thought back to their heated kiss in his office...
She thought about being Mrs Arnav Singh Raizada...
"I want that more than anything..." she breathed...
Deciding to let Arnav win this round of teasing, she dragged her weary body into the bathroom for a hot shower...
As the steaming sprays shot over her body, she tried to hold onto the hope she'd begun to feel...
Her heart was desperate to believe that everything would be alright...
But she had a nagging feeling that all was not as quiet as it seemed...
"Enough Khushi..." she scolded herself..."You love Arnavji...and you trust him..."
...
"What the hell? What do you mean?"
"I mean, that since your office's security cameras are linked to our frequency, we were able to run facial recognition and identify a man who was in your building...and that man was once a convicted felon..."
Arnav was speechless.
"So I was already going to visit you tonight whether you had these papers ready of not..."
"Who is it." Arnav's eyes went dark with anger..."one of my staff? Who! I swear I will fire them instantly!"
"Look, calm down Arnav. I've known you for years, and I know you wouldn't hire someone like this. In fact I saw you throw him out...but I was mainly wondering how you got in touch with him..."
Arnav's eyes shot up..."You mean...that man I threw out? That bas***d that tripped Khushi?"
"Yes. He has been arrested numerous times. Many times for impersonation. For robbery...much more..."
"I did not contact him." he ground out..."I have no idea why he was in my office. I have never seen him before in my life..."
Arnav's friend nodded..."I believe you 100%, but I'm only telling you so you can lookout for any other strange visitors...I mean, with your history, and Khushiji's history..."
Arnav's hand latched onto the man's jacket..."I know of our history...and now that we're starting a new future, I will NOT let history destroy it..."
Lifting the pen from Arnav's pocket, he rested the paper against the wall and sighed his name..."Don't ever say I didn't help you..."
"Truly, Karan...Thankyou...I hate hiding this, but ...I need to make sure..."
"I understand...and now...it's official...ok, I have to get back to the court. I'll talk with you soon..."
Shaking hands with his friend, they both bid each other goodnight...
...
"It's going to be so beautiful..." Anjali sighed...
Payal snickered..."That's the seventh time you've said that in the last 5 minutes..."
"Payalji...I am worried...about when Shyamji arrives...what if...what if he..."
"If he had anything...anything to do with their accident, then YOU won't have to do anything...Arnavji will probably punch him hard enough to knock him out for a good solid year..."
Anjali laughed..."I am so thankful to have you back in my life...it's easier to laugh..."
"We all have each other again...so we need to try and relax..."
"You are right..." Anjali nodded..." Why are you always right?"
"Not always...but yes, most of the time..." she smiled...
"When he arrives, how about you meet him alone first, and then I can look in to see if they are the same Shyamji..." Anjali suggested..."Because if he is...then...then we need to tell Chote...because I already feel that something isn't quite right..."
...
"It's her. I have NO doubt whatsoever..."
Shyam smiled and stood up to shake the man's hand..."Ok...then I will make my appearance tomorrow..."
"One thing...that man...he is almost inseparable from her."
"I will break them up. I have come this far. I won't let her get away again..."
Shyam then heard laughing...
"What is so special about this woman...? Sure, she is attractive, but there are many other attractive women around..."
Grabbing him forcefully by the throat, Shyam lunged forwards..."Listen Kabir, It is not your job to ask! You are paid to do what I tell you to do!"
Kabir struggled free and coughed hard..."Do you realize what a MESS you've made!? You sent ME, impersonating the father of the one that was killed, in to both hospitals...and then YOU! You couldn't stay away! You had to make an appearance in both hospitals as well! What if you are recognized!"
Shyam let go of Kabir and sat down..."Payalji and Khushiji will not suspect me! I have gained their trust over the years...and as for you...YOU are my proof to them that I didn't cause the accident, because you are the one whose kid 'apparently' died...and I appeared at both hospitals to let them see my face...let them see that I wasn't to blame!"
Kabir shook his head..."MESSY! What if they see your hand!? You were injured! They WILL eventually put 2 and 2 together!"
"As long as I see Payalji alone, then there shouldn't be any questions! I will convince them to return..."
"Believe me...you won't...You haven't seen her with..."
Slamming his hands on the table, Shyam lost control..."I HAVE SEEN THEM! I HAD TO SEE THEM TOGETHER EVERY DAMN DAY!!! And let me tell you..." he moved in close, his eyes red with anger..."I will have her...even if I have to abduct her!"
...
Arnav wandered towards Khushi's room and leant against the wall outside her door...
He waited...
Listening intently, he tried to hear if she was still awake...
Anjali and Payal had both told him that she had gone for a shower...
But he knew all too well how much effort she put into working and understood if she was tired...
Checking his watch, he mentally decided to wait another 10 minutes...
After an endless ten minutes, his heart sank slightly as he headed back to his room...
Closing the doors behind him, he rested his forehead against them...
"Why so upset Arnavji?"
Turning around to the sound of her voice, he saw Khushi sitting quietly on his couch, covered in moonlight...
"You're here?"
She smiled..."Yes...where have you been?"
He took a small step forwards..."Where have I...? I was waiting outside your room for almost 20 minutes!"
Khushi started to giggle..."Really? ...Oh...Arnavji...oh...I'm sorry...I should have told you..."
Done with letting his pride rule the moment, he stormed forwards and pulled her into his embrace...
His sudden surge of passion drained all the humor from the moment and had her staring up at him, with moonlight pooling in her eyes...
The fire that was fanning between them was ready to explode into fireworks...
Slowly and decidedly, Arnav brought his mouth down on hers, firm and hot.
His tongue pressed between her lips and the sensation of being entered by him, even like that, sent a shiver rushing the length of her body.
And instantly...she surrendered...
Her arms circled his neck as his hands splayed over her hips, drawing her to him, warm and snug.
"You are so beautiful," he breathed against her lips, and her whole being rippled with unstoppable desire.
"Take me," she whispered while trembling...
