arnav was all teared up... he din know what to say...kushi you stayed in this storeroom all night
arnav: kushiii if you had not been here then may be
but kushi threw herself into him

kushi: nothing will happen arnavjiii
arnav hugged her back and they were lost in each others arms without realizing the world around them
it felt heaven in hands for him after more than 3 yrs...
they slowly realized and broke apart shying away from looking at each ohter..
arnav broke the silence
arnav: you know what kushi... i really wanted to tell you... i din want to lie... i am so sorrryy
kushi: no problem squirrelji i understand
arnav chuckled: your seriously nuts kushi...
and they smiled
kushi: btw arnavjii i am tired of sittin inside this place.. will you care to show me around...
arnav smiled and signed her to lead the way and she obliged...
the door opened and kushi went awe at what she saw.. she had come last night and hence couldnt get a good glimpse of the garden
arnav noticed her go o over and over again
kushi: arnavjiii this is so beautiful and she ran down the stairs leading to the garden
arnav slowly was trolling down admiring her... she seriously looked like a slice from heaven in his garden... it was like he was revisiting a fairy tale
kushi went by a huge tree... she saw arnav's name carved on it
she ran her hands through it and suddenly noticed arnav coming and sitting on the bench under the tree...
kushi: arnavjii this tree looks like a kings place
arnav was amused: kings place really
kushi: really.. havent you seen in movies... the king and the queen romance under these trees
arnav: oh really... so i am a king now...
kushi: hmm may be...
btw wait... she took a sharp stick nearby and started making the name more clear... it looks perfect now and smiled
arnav gave a faint smile
arnav pulled her making her to sit beside him
arnav: you know kushi... me mom and di planted this tree together...i guess i was just 6 that time.. almost 20 yrs back
########### flash back #################
little arnav: ma maaa come lets go... you are always in this garden only
mom: chotey... i am doing this for you and anjali only... when this tree goes big you can play under this
little arnav: but mummy this plant looks soo small...
mom: once we plant it will be come a tree... want to help me
anjali: yes chotey.. its fun

arnav reluctantly nodded: i seriously dunno if it will grow...
finally his mom thought both of them and the tree was planted
anjali and his mom had walked away... but arnav stood watching
maa: chotey come lets go
chotey: i will see the tree and come maa.i don want to miss it grow
anjali and his maa broke into laughter and his mom explained how long it would take
chotey: so then when the tree is fully grown i will write my name on it...
############# flash back ends ##############
kushi smiled listening to arnav
arnav contd : but you know kushi i never knew that one fine day when the tree is finally grown my mom wont be here... i carved it when i was 15 on my moms bday
kushi squeezed her had with his assuring him it will be fine
arnav looked up to her with a smile
kushi: but your selfish arnavjii
arnav: excuse me...
kushi: if you don mind can i and looked at the tree
arnav nodded
kushi took the sharp stick and carved names and it was anjali rahul
arnav smiled...
kushi: superb na now
arnav said: but i am alone na
kushi immediately smiiled: how can squirrel be when nuts is here...
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
arnav: kushi see there.. thats the place mom always used to make us plant when we were kids..
kushi: why when kids.. you don now
arnav: i never did here after my mom ...
kushi: so she would love it if you do it now...
arnav: you think so
kushi: lets try na.. you can teach me as well
arnav smiled and both the friends set out in planting.. he got the spade... and kushi tried diggin out
the mud but it was so heavy that she landed in throwing mud at herself...
arnav smiled: kushii why are you winking at me
kushi: buddhhuu... mud went into my eyes and ur teasing me na and she sulked

arnav got up and said: sorry sorry and went close to her and removed her hand from rubbing her eyes...
kushi's heart beat was racing rapidly...he mad her sit on the chair
arnav moved closer
kushi stepped back: its ok arnavjiii
arnav ignored her talks and using his left hand widened her eyes......he slowly bent forward and blew into her eyes
kushi's heart almost ceased that minute... arnav blew again and slowly he used his right hand to tug the hair that was covering her eye behind her ears...
he stood watching into her eyes after minutes of having cleared it......
finally kushi broke the eye lock: thanks arnavjii
arnav smiled and they got back to work
kushi made arnav wear two pairs of gloves to keep his hand from getting dirty coz the wound might get infected
arnav was lost in teaching her just as his mom had thought him...
he was explaining of every single step and to kushi he looked just like a grown up kid and finally it was
over and the friends smiled at their job...
arnav stood staring thinking of his mom when kushi place a hand on his shoulder
suddenly kushi pointed to his cheeks: arnavjii there is something there
arnav immeditaely place his hands on his cheek and now kushi said: no no this one
arnavs hand went there when kushi said forehead also
arnav stared at her : its ok now kushii
kushi went close to him: arnavjii you look tall brown and handsomeee
arnav: tall dark and handsome lady
kushi: but you are brown with all that mud on your face MR.A S R
and she burst out laughing
arnav just realized what he had done and
arnav: what the!!! chee your mad !! my face is full of mud now...
kushi shall i help you clean it and smiled victoriously
arnav: you better or you will be dead...
kushi without hesitating took a mug of water and splashed in straight on his face shocking the hell out of him
arnav: what the!! and gave an angry glare...
kushi was scared that she took the wrong move: arnavjii i am so sorry.. i was just playing with you.. i din mean to be serious.. i am sorryyy i am sorrryyy
but suddenly arnav threw a smirk and before she can realize he threw a whole bucket of water on her drencing her completely
kushi gave her signature: hawww... see what you have done now... wait till i get you and ran behind arnav who jumped up all the benches too fast for her to catch him
kushi: you wait right there arnavjiii
arnav: you cant catch me kushi...i am ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA

kushi: huh your not ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA
YOUR EVIL SINGH RAIZADA and sat down tired
arnav came near: are you sure i am evil kushii? with a baby face
kushi was about to answer when arnav again threw a bucket of water on her: YES I AM MISS. DEVIL KUMARI GUPTA
kushi stood staring at him as arnav broke out into laughter looking at her

kushi stood admiring arnav ... he was laughing like that after almost ages...
arnav finally came near kushi: sorrryyy... sorrryyy devilll
kushi smirked and slowly took a mug near by without arnav noticing it..

. ITS OKAY EVIL and drenched him fully again
arnav smiled at her and both the friends started laughing at the stupid thing they just did
kushi: arnavjii shall i tell you something
arnav: hmm go ahead
kushi: you really look cute while laughing... maa and paa willl be very happy to see you like this
arnav: you think they will see me
kushi : i am sure they always do...
arnav smiled sweetly and she responded the same
