Author Notes:

Why didnt Shashi and Garima reveal Arnav's hospital visit to Khushi?

First of all I am extremely sorry as I forgot to touch this point in the previous chapter. This is what I planned to narrate but somehow slipped my mind. Shashi and Garima on purpose decided not to reveal about Arnav's hospital visit. As much as they wanted Khushi to change Arnav for the better, they wanted Khushi herself to understand Arnav's priorities and mend herself to Arnav as well. They didnt wanna feed in her anything about how Arnav feels for her because she is as tender as petal at the moment as she just broke up with another man. Talking about any other man's feelings would be like forcing her another time into a whole new level which might hamper her will to heal him. From what Khushi expressed, her parents understood that she is going there as his friend more than as a wife. And that is the main reason they didnt want to impose or stress her with his feelings. That is exactly why Shashi left the company to allow them to be together anywhere they are, so that they can understand each other without interference of any third person. I hope I made sense here.

**********************************

Thats exactly what I want Arnav. She mentally spoke while observing him walk away. She felt good hearing him say that. She felt she succeeded in her first move.

As she was about to step out of his room, she turned back to check his room. It was spot less as if someone is cleaning it non-stop every sec. She noted that his bed room is very similar to his office room in style. Just plain black and white yet modern, and sleek. She compared his spotless, clean, glassy shining room to hers which always filled with clothes, work designs, hair clips and chocolate wrappers. She sighed how she will manage with him within these four walls. She walked further inside towards bathroom. She stood outside the door and hesitated to enter the bathroom. She decided to leave it alone for now. As she was exiting she noticed his photo on the side table. His portrait in serious pose. She couldnt help but smile at his Dont mess with me look. She then trailed her forefinger on his palm in the picture as if consoling his grief.

I didnt wanna start this relation with a lie Arnav but at the same time I cant say the truth now. I am sure you will not trust me or respect me if I utter even a single word about it. After knowing the truth, what if you say, you dont trust a woman who gave up 8yr old relation for a man whom she met just 8 days ago. I will have no answer. I hope one day you understand my insecurity behind hiding it. I promise I will take away all your pain one day and I hope you trust me on this.

Khushi doesnt know what Arnav feels for her. She knows that he is hiding something which is why she is provoking him to express the whole day but she truly have no idea what he feels for her. And most of the time he always been very rude and angry with her. He always came off as the man who loves himself more than he could love any other person. At least thats what he portrayed himself to her. He said mean things to her most of the time because honestly he doesnt know how else he could mask his feelings and she doesnt know what exactly he is feeling. Unaware of his true feelings for her, she thinks he will not trust her if she reveals the true reason.

She thought about revealing truth to Arnav many times but not once her conscience prompted that he will accept her and start new life as if nothing happened. According to her, she thinks he is alone and he didnt move on from the family's grief. She doesnt know how possessive he is about her.

Khushi then noticed her bags lying near the ward robe. She hesitated to open his wardrobe and finally decided not to. Its too personal for him. She concluded.

Waise, I am sure he has only suits. She never seen him in casual clothes ever since she met him in the past few days. I guess he even sleeps wearing suits. She giggled at her own sense of humor. It is in fact surprise to her ownself. She never knew she had such hidden talent of humoring people that too Arnav Singh Raizada.

With the help of Kaka, she grabbed her bags and she decided to stay in the guest room that is at the other end of the hallway. Arnav's room and Khushi's room are connected through pool.

Kaka, where is Arnav?

I saw him going outside. He didnt say where he was going.

She nodded OK.

Khushi bitiya, if you dont mind can I say something.

Ji kaka. Whats the matter?

You both were so little when I entered this house 20 years ago. I never thought you both will be married one day. I was so worried to see the way Arnav babua is living his life. But I am so happy now that you came and I hope you will set everything right?

She gave him assuring smile as she didnt know what else to say as she is not sure if she will succeed but she is determined to try her best.

Shall I fix your dinner bitiya?

Ji Nahi, I am not hungry now. I will take care. You dont worry.

Let me know if you need anything.

She nodded Yes and Kaka left her alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arnav entered a while later assuming that Khushi must have settled and slept by now in his room.

He entered his dark room with pin drop silence as to not disturb her. As the moonlight beamed directly into his room, he noticed his bed empty. He walked to the bathroom and eavesdropped to hear if she is in room.

He called out her name, Khushi. He heard nothing and entered the bathroom and found it empty. She must be chatting with Kaka. He thought and he headed to bathroom to freshen up.

He stood under the hot shower and thought about the day's events. Nothing made sense to him no matter how much he tried to draw the reason for her return.

She entered his office. He was overwhelmed to learn that she is the woman behind his success and admired her conviction, dedication and selfless contribution to his growth as business man.

She entered his home, his heart jumped with joy though his mind shrugged away her stay as only temporary.

Even though her return is short term, she is going to live in his room, share his room, his wardrobe, his bathroom and his everything. For the first time, he is afraid to share his room with someone, its just not someone, his lady who rules his heart and melts him with simple sigh. He never shared his room with anyone in his lifetime. No one intruded into his privacy. Ofcourse he did share an apartment with Akash but he always had his own room. But now things changed, he changed, she changed and he worried if he will be able to control himself with her being in the same room, especially not knowing if she is here for him or for something else.

No matter how much he tried to prepare himself, he failed. He thought best solution is to handle one moment at a time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaka, is dinner ready? Arnav screamed from the dining room.

Kaka came running and said, Ji babua. Shall I serve it for you?

Arnav nodded Yes and looked around searching for Khushi.

Where is Khushi? He asked Kaka.

She is in her room babua.

In her room? Kya matlab?

Kaka noticed confusion and anger exploding on Arnav's face. Kaka taking the God's name, he spoke, Khushi bitiya took the guest room to ..Before Kaka could complete the sentence, Arnav got up from the chair kicking it away with the back of his foot, walked up the stairs to her room climbing two steps at a time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Khushi was unpacking and arranging her clothes in the wardrobe when Arnav entered her room to give her one of his typical warnings. Khushi was so engulfed humming a song and unpacking that she didnt notice his presence. He became numb and instantly forgot all his anger looking at the innocent beauty in front of her. He stood by the door and admired the way her neck was dancing and lashes were fluttering to her hum. As a singer himself at one time, he's pretty knowledgeable about music and the notes. He would be lying if he say she sings great but it turned out great with her adorable cute expressions. She stopped suddenly trying to remember the rest of the tune which is when he came out of his lala land and noticed her arranging clothes.

He walked in long strides to her and without saying anything he grabbed her hand and tried to drag her out of the room.

Arnav, what are you doing?

I am doing what I should have done much earlier. He spoke in threatening tone.

As they were about to exit the room, Khushi held onto the door frame tightly and stubbornly and refused to come out. Chodo mujhe. Leave my hand. Whats the matter? bolo tho sahi?

What the hell you think you are doing?

Now what did I do?

Didnt I warn you earlier that it will be my decision to let you go.

Haan, per I didnt go anywhere? what did I do that you are so angry?

What did you do? How could you act so innocent? You barged into my office. I said nothing. You entered my house demanding every ritual a typical wife would, I didnt stop you. So per your rules of marriage, you should be staying with me in my room right?

Arnav, aisa nahi hain. Please understand me.

Yes or No?

Yes. But Arnav..

Per your rules of marriage, you should be sleeping with me, in my room, on the same bed right?

Arnav, you are embarassing me.

Yes or No?

Yes. Please stop Arnav. She sobbed raising her both hands to her mouth and mumbled her pleas. His hand that is gripping one of her hands coincidently touched her cheek drenched in tears. He took step forward and cornered her behind the door frame. He raised his left hand and tucked her loose strands behind her ears and asked huskily, then you must also be knowing that tonight is our first night.

Khushi was shocked to hear him say that. She didnt realize how close they were until she heard him say that. She felt uncomfortable, stood straight, adjusted herself and dropped her hand he is holding, to the floor. Her lips trembled with the close proximity.

She could feel his erratic breaths.

And he could hear her fickle heartbeats.

She spoke nothing, her eyes couldnt gaze at one position due to nervousness but his eyes fixated on her and only her.

I hope you know people make lov...

She closed his mouth with her palm and stopped him from saying anything further. She didnt dare to look at him but he needed to be stopped because she thought she knew why he is talking like that. According to her, he is expressing all built up revenge verbally in its most menacing form, just to insult her feelings.

But according to him, he got carried away in the moment, in her beauty. In fact he took the rituals just too seriously and forgot his senses but definitely not to insult her or embarrass her.

With her palm on his mouth and her head lowered, Stop it Arnav. Dont degrade yourself. This is not You. I dont want you to feel sorry later for saying what you were about to say.

He broke from his trance and realized what he was about to say. Hadnt she stopped him, he would have made a biggest mistake of insulting his own love and feelings for her. He released his hand on her and stepped back away from her, disappointed and angry at himself for behaving like loafer.

As he was about to exit..She called him.

Arnav, I am sorry. I didnt mean to...

Listen, you mean nothing to me. I dont care what you feel, what you think and what you do. I dont waste my time even a sec thinking about you. So stop assuming that I am here to beg you to come to my room. My room is my personal life and I will not let anyone invade my privacy. He took out his anger on her.

Oh really? Understood! I understood very well that you take your decisions by mood swings rather than thinking through. She gave him back once again.

Watch your words, Lady! Dont drain my patience with your stupid sarcasm. And listen to me once for all.

No you listen to me this time. Hearing her threatening voice, he took a step forward intimidating her. She stumbled for a sec but continued fearlessly, You said what you wanted to say Mr. Raizada. Now let me tell you what is going to happen. I may not be ready today but one day when I am ready I will make sure you personally invite me to your room, until then I am not going to enter.

Oh really. Keep dreaming. That aint happening.

Lagi sharth? She asked raising her free hand.

This is exactly why he fell in love with her. She is complaining about his mood swings and she doesnt even know that she is the main culprit behind it. She changes him from passionate lover to angry man to silent admirer just within secs. And thats only possible by his newly wedded wife.

He couldnt help but smirk at her feistyness. She always amazed him with this unique quality of hers even in their college days. Bet!

We will stick to our old funda. Loser will comply to winner's command. Deal?

Deal! He turned around and left the room thinking He would lose any number of bets for that special day to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He retreated to his room without having dinner. He turned off the lights and tried to sleep. He tossed around on the bed for an hour but couldnt even get close to sleep. He got up from his bed to spend sometime on his laptop. As he was picking up the laptop, He noticed a table lamp lit in her room, situated at the other end of the pool. He saw her working on something.

Must be Mittals. A smile appeared on his lips admiring her commitment and sincerity. But soon his anguish took over. Never in his life, even when he had nothing, he never struggled so much as much he is struggling now to keep his emotions under control. He sat on his chair and closed his eyes thinking about them.

Khushi on the other hand, feeling tired and sleepy decided to take a walk on the terrace as she has long night to work on Mittals project. Soon without wasting a min, her heart took her through the journey of her life as Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada in 24 hours.

To know what they both are thinking, watch the following VM.

It is supposed to be their first night. And it indeed is for their hearts.

They dwelled into each other thoughts forgetting the rest of the world just like the way newly married couple would do on their first night.

They touched each other with the belief in purity of their body, mind and soul when he called her name and when she heard him call her.

They stayed up all night understanding what they mean to each other not wanting the night to end anytime soon just the like any other newly wedded couple would do on their first night.

In all pure ways, they celebrated their first night and made love without letting the other know and without physically touching the other.

Is this possible? thats the question for you. Let me know your thoughts about the track and what you liked most. Hope you liked the VM as well. Thats my favorite song these days.

Eagerly waiting to read your comments.
