Part 13
"Arnav" whispered Khushi.
"Khushi!Who is it?" called out Preety still in her room.Khushi was about to say something back but Arnav put his hand over her mouth and dragged her to another room.He locked the door and turned to her.Khushi began breathing heavily.She wasn't expecting to see him after what had happend between them.She looked at the floor not wanting to meet his eyes.
"Angel" said Arnav taking a step towards her.He held her hand catching her attention."I know what you are thinking" Khushi looked into his eyes "I have a sister.So I can guess that if something like what happend last night happend to her...what she would be thinking.You are probably thinking that maybe..just maybe I used you for self purposes" Khushi widened her mouth at his accurate statement.Arnav held her shoulders and made her sit on the chair.He kneeled on the ground in front of Khushi and held her hands."I want to you to know I am nothing like that.Just because I am rich I am not a person to cross my limits.I was drunk last night and so were you.Khushi...I love you and want to marry you"
"But we can't.We are from different backgrounds and-" said Khushi taking her hands from his.
Arnav held her upper arms jerking her forward,towards him. "Can you for once not think of our backgrounds.My mom...she was from a middle class family but my dad fell in love with her when he was rich and could have any girl of his choice.He loved her and didn't care about their backgrounds and married her.Why can't we do the same" Khushi sat there speechless.She didn't know what to say."I love you Khushi...and I know you do too"
Khushi looked at him and hugged him tightly."I do love you but I am scared.Will you be able to marry me and be with me without any regrets that you could have gotten better"
"I will only regret if I don't marry you and get a chance to be with you"
They stayed in each other's embrace for a while.Khushi pulled back and blushed.She got up and so did he.They walked out and saw Preety with Daksh.Arnav leaned and whispered in Khushi's ear "I got Daksh to come over and give company to Preety and also tell her you had to go for important reasons"
Khushi looked at him confused "But why?"
"Lets go on a date"
"Now?"
"Yeah,let's go"
Arnav held Khushi's hand and led her outside to his car.He drove them to a simple cafe.After they took a seat,he asked her "What would you like to have"
"Hmm,can I have a hot chocolate with small marshmallows"
Arnav gestured to a waiter and he came."Two hot chocolates,one with small marshmallows and one without" The waiter left.
"This time I should pay" said Khushi.
"Pay..but why?" said Arnav confused.
"Last time you payed so this time I'll pay"
"No Khushi...I'll pay"
"No Arnav...I''ll pay"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"Yes"
"No" Khushi gasped.
"That's better" said Arnav leaning back on his chair.
"That's cheating"
"Says who"
Khushi crossed her arms and pouted.Arnav raised his eyebrows.The waiter came with their orders.Arnav took his while Khushi took hers."That was quick" said Khushi.
"Well..I am Arnav Singh Raizada"
Khushi raised her eyebrows. "Oh really...and I am Khushi Kumari Gupta"
Arnav chuckled.After their drinks,Arnav dropped Khushi back home and went to his farmhouse.He entered grinning,happy there was no misunderstanding and Khushi had admitted she loved him back.He went to his room ignoring a gaping Anjali.After a few seconds,Samrat came.He scrunched his eyes seeing Anjali's expression.Her mouth was wide open and she was keep on staring at the door of Arnav's room.Samrat patted her shoulder and her expressions became normal as she turned around."What happend?"
"Did you just see.Chottey just came and was grinning madly.He definitely couldn't have gone to the office"
"Well..let's go ask him"
Anjali and Samrat went to Arnav's room and knocked on his door.After about 5 minutes,Arnav opened it."What took you so long to open the door,Chottey?" asked Anjali.
"Oh..um I was in the shower" Arnav was lying.He was actually on the phone with Khushi but he didn't want Anjali to find out about their relationship just yet.Samrat looked at him head to toe.He was in the same clothes as he was before.'Well now we know he is hiding something very big.I wonder what he really was doing'."So um...did you guys need anything" Arnav asked.
"Um..I just wanted to know if anything special happend at office today" said Anjali.
"Office?..Oh yeah..office..no nothing special..why?"
"Oh nothing" said Samrat "Okay,Anjali and I should go check on Pari" Samrat took Anjali to their room and closed the door "Well he's definitely lying" Anjali nodded agreeing.
"But what is the secret which Chottey is lying so much about.I mean he never lied to me before so why now?" said Anjali confused.

The next day
Khushi smiled watching tv.'Arnav truly loves me' thought Khushi over and over again.She was barely paying any attention to the television.Her thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing.She picked it "Hello"
"Oh my gosh Khushi...I am so so sorry..I almost forgot to tell you today is my mehndi but anyways get ready and come to my house quick please"
Khushi smiled and agreed.She got ready in a dark purple saree and went to Preety's house.She helped her get ready.In a while the girls arrived and they did Preety's mehndi.Khushi's mehndi was also being done.
*****************************************************************
"I can't believe you made me sneak in with you Daksh" said an irritated Arnav.
Daksh had called and pleaded to Arnav to come with him to the mehndi.Arnav didn't agree at first and had cut the call but Daksh kept calling him and he finally gave in.
"Oh come on.I don't want to go alone.What if some girl finds out or maybe even Khushi?She won't stop teasing me for life,that's for sure"
'Khushi' thought Arnav 'So that means she's also there'.He grinned.
*****************************************************************
Khushi's mehndi lady had to attend an urgent call so she left.After she was done talking,Arnav tapped her shoulder.She turned around "Yes" He whispered something in her ear and she smiled.She nodded and went back to Khushi.She made a heart in the middle of her hand and wrote A.
*****************************************************************
After an hour or two,Preety was missing while Khushi was dancing around with the girls enjoying herself.Feeling a bit tired,she decided to rub off her mehndi.She went to the sink and took off the mehndi.She brought her hands up to her face and gasped.In the middle was a heart with an A.Suddenly she was pulled out of the bathroom and was pulled into another room.It was Arnav."Wow Angel...you look so pretty"
Khushi blushed a bit.Arnav held her hands.He traced the heart on her hand and smirked. "I heard the darker the mehndi,the more the love you will receive from your husband"
"A-Arnav..the l-lady..I don't know why-"
"I had asked her to..this way you can have an estimate of how much I'll love you"
Khushi looked at her hands.They were very dark,showing very less of her natural white skin.She looked back at Arnav and grinned.Arnav pulled Khushi closer wrapping his arms around her waist.She naturally put her hands on his shoulders.They kept staring at each other.Suddenly the door opened...
