Chapter 7|Welcome Home

The party ended right before 12, which was still quite early for the party animals.

Aman and Naina had seen a certain spark which was oblivious to Arnav and Khushi, to which Aman reasoned that they were just acting while Naina proposed that they are experiencing the early stages remembering her own days.

Arnav and Khushi got in his car and he started the ignition.

They drove on the deserted road in the dark night, amongst a light mist, in silence, but not awkward silence.

As he changed the gear, the back of his palm touched her bare knee, and the electric effect was felt at both sides.

She slightly gasped and he paused for a moment, as his hand remained where it was.

She couldn't see his face properly in the dark but she could feel him smile.

The two were lost in the moment, Khushi's hand was on the knee that had just been touched, while he kept his eyes on the street stealing glances, the smile permanently masked on his face.

Suddenly Khushi's phone rang, bringing both of them out of the reverie.

She quietly received the call after it rang five times and spoke

"hello"

It was her parents, he could tell. They had been worried over their "sick" daughter who was supposedly lying weak in her bed.

She had convinced them that she was better now and they don't need to worry for her and that she did not want them to bring anything for her to eat.

They had told her they would be a little late, which meant they wouldn't be back before 2 in the morning.

She disconnected the call and took a sigh of relief.

She explained him how she had left Amber at home to pretend to be her and lay in her bed in case her parents showed up unannounced.

But now that she was sure they were going to be late she was glad, more so because she could spend more time with him now.

They had reached the Gupta residence and before she stepped out of his car she reminded him of his promise. Since he had given her his word he couldn't refuse and agreed on a cup of coffee.

Upon entering the huge villa Arnav was overwhelmed, sure it seemed one heck of a luxurious property from the outside but the interiors just screamed price.

He pulled his collar away from his neck as he started to feel somewhat suffocated in this villa, which was nowhere near homely.

There were no hints of warmth or family bonding, the place clearly depended on the servants for maintenance, cleaning and what not.

When Khushi realized Arnav wasn't following her she grabbed him by his arm and dragged him to the kitchen and as if on cue Ramu Kaka left wiping his hands from the towel, smiling.

"Excuse me?"

He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Excused"

She said casually as she pressed the button on the coffee maker.

He shook his head and admired the rich and intricate interiors of the kitchen and the adjacent dinning room.

'Nice house"

"Thanks"

She spoke absent mindedly as she took two cups from the cabinet.

It wasn't like she was hearing someone praise her house for the first time, she heard these words every day, but today was different. At the party she had seen a part of his world, seeing him admire a part of her world felt nice.

The turning of the door knob in the pin drop silence brought her attention and as she realized what could follow she once again grabbed him by the hand and sat down, bringing him roughly against the tiles.

"What the-"

'Shhh"

She warned as she tried to hear the footsteps without realizing her cheek was too close to his.

He smiled as her fragrance intoxicated his senses and he closed his eyes in pleasure.

Shit shit shit

Mr and Mrs Gupta loved throwing surprises some were good, most'not so pleasant.

They had arrived earlier than she had expected.

Khushi's happy go lucky mood started to die as Arnav's was getting better, surprisingly.

Indeed it was one heck of a welcome.
