Finally i reached the last step of the staircase and suddenly all lights were lit up glowing the hallway... I was so happy, i almost started jumping.. The Hallway was decorated with flowers .. I was in my own world, thats when i heard the voice, which i was longing to hear throughout the day... The voice of my Laad Governor! "Pasand aaya tumhe?", he asked.. I was so overwhelmed that i ran by stepping on those flower path to him and hugged him tightly.. He also twirled me around in his embrace.. I felt like i was seeing him after ages.. "Pasand hi nahi, bahot bahot pasand aaya Arnavji!!", I replied... Hearing my reply, a smile spread on his face.. It was like heaven when he smiled like this... Then he hold my hand and took me to the dining table.. Every item kept on the table was my favorite.. I looked at him with my eyes filled with tears of happiness.. I gladly mouthed a "Thank you!" to him and he smiled reassuringly and wiped off my tears with his hands and asked, "Waise Khushi? Har baat pe rona zaruri hai kya?" I looked at him with O-mouth which then immediately turned into a smile and i hit him playfully on his chest... "Chalo Khushi, ab khana khaaye? Bahot bhukh lagi hai..", he said.. "Yeh toh humey kehna chahiye! Hum aapke liye inti der wait kar rahe they!", I retorted... Then he smiled and made me sit on the chair and he himself sat beside me.. I immediately served food in his and my plate and was about to take the first morsel but he stopped me and said, "Today we'll feed each other.." I nodded and moved the morsel in my hand towards his mouth.. He took it slowly while licking my fingers and with a ASR smirk he said, "Aisa khana aur bhi tasty lagta hai!"
Hearing this, i blushed hard... Seeing me blush, he again said, "Tum aur bhi khoobsurat lagti ho jab tumhare gaal laal hote hai!" Then he took the first morsel and fed me... Like this we finished the dinner slowly and lovingly.. Then by the time i cleaned the dining table and kitchen, he went to our room for freshening... I was so happy about such a cute surprise by him... After finishing my chores, i moved towards our room..
As i reached our room, I saw Arnavji sitting on the recliner with his eyes closed. He immediately woke up due to the sound of my anklets and for the first time i regretted wearing anklets.. I stood by the door.. He got up and caught my hand started moving out of our room..I saw the clock, it was 11.15pm.. I asked him, where was he taking me? He smiled and said, "Wait and watch Khushi! I bet u r going to love it!" I smiled at him and didn't ask any questions further.. We left the house and he made me sit in his car.. He placed himself in the driver's seat and started the car... After around 40 mins drive, we reached the hill-top.. I looked at him with a questioning look.. He smiled and got out of the car and held the door open for me to get down... I got down.. He slid his hand around my waist and took me too the edge of the hill.. Now this was getting scarier for me as it was dark everywhere around.. The only light was the headlight of our car... 'What was he upto?' I thought.. He smirked and started the countdown, "10.. 9.. 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.."
As the countdown ended, he signalled me to look forward... I did as i was told and was surprised to the core to see the beauty in front of my eyes.. Many fire crackers were lit together in the sky... He knew i always fantasized firecrackers.. I jumped like a kid seeing those firecrackers...
He then turned me towards him and said, "Happy New Year Khushi!!" I too gladly smiled at him and pecked his cheeks and said, "Happy New Year Arnavji!" and looked away blushing.. He was surprised by my peck and then he again turned me and captured my lips... I was startled at first but then i also gave in.. We were kissing for secs..mins.. i don't know for how much time... But the experience was heavenly... I felt i was in a dreamland... A kiss on the New Year's Eve felt so filmy... I loved it so much!!
After we broke the kiss, Arnavji looked at me with smirk on his face.. "I loved your return gift Khushi!", he said. I blushed and turned my back to him. He then hugged me from back and said,"Waise did u like my gift?!" "Yes! I loved it! Thank you so much!" I replied smiling..
He then said in a husky tone,"Only Thank You will not do! I want something more!" I turned to him now to hear what he wanted. "I want a gift from you!", he said. I smiled and said,"If i can, i'll definitely give u the gift that u want.. Don't ask something which i can't give u!" He too smiled and said,"Only u can give me the gift that i want, no one else can! But i want it on next new year's eve." I looked at him."So what gift do u want?" I asked. "I want a sibling for Aarav! I want to complete our family." He said. I blushed hard and hid my face in his chest. He then stroked my head and said,"So Khushi, will u give me that gift?" I looked at him and smiled and said,"I would love to!" and again hid my face in his chest. He too smiled and hugged me more tightly... The firecrackers had lit up the sky behind us!
