Chapter 11:

A month passed by and the progress that Arnav and his men made, made Khushi marvel at them.. Not only had they managed to get sufficient loans, a building for hire to start their new office, an appreciable number of dealers and contractors but also a fairly good number of employees.. What Khushi realized, was that almost all the employees that Arnav hired so far were not just extremely talented but also hungry and desperate to prove the world what they are, to show the people who made a mockery out of them what actually they've missed.. Nothing could ever make her more proud..

It wasn't as easy as Arnav made it appear to her.. She knew the sleepless nights, the hurried breakfasts, the missing lunches, the searing head aches, the tensed meetings, the strained runnings.. She's been with him.. He seemed to have gained faint dark circles.. Arnav was pushing too hard on himself but Khushi knew he wouldn't stop until he achieved what he had aimed for.. All she could do was make him feel at peace, give him comfort, share his tiredness.. After all, she too was an investor of AR Fashions.. The first one, in fact..

******

A few days earlier..

Khushi found Arnav sitting in his balcony, a bit too preoccupied that he din't figure out her presence.. The last few weeks have taken a heavy toll on him.. He isn't used to all this ruffling and shuffling.. He was a prince born in golden spoon..

Over come by emotions, Khushi started massaging his head..

"Oh God!! Khushi.. It still amazes me how you know every tiny detail about me.. That's.. Ah wonderful! That just answered the remedy to this work load.. Amazing.."

She smiled happy at his genuine praise..

"You're stressing a lot Arnav.. I'm not complaining.. I just want you to know that I understand what you are going through, how exhausting you get.. I see you Arnav.. I feel you.."

"I just can't thank Amma enough for sending you to me.. I..I just can't imagine my life without you.."

"You don't have to, Arnav.. You'l never have to.. So, what is it that is bothering you?"

"Khush, We are going to get the loans granted by the end of 2 months from now.. But I'l need to buy the building that we'v seen for setting up our office.. It's huge and perfect.. It's in a good center and will be the apt place.. I just need to figure out some money enough to own that building and we'l get the loans granted for the renewal.. Aman had been biting his head off.. He says that it might be difficult for us if we applied another loan.. It might strangle our neck.. I'm just thinking of what options I have.."

Khushi knew what she had to do.. She quickly moved to face him, sat by his legs, held his hands in hers and gazed straight into his shocked and tired eyes...

"Arnav, I know you trust me above all.. I know you'l figure all of this by your own.. But, it is for our future, isn't it? A future that includes me.."

"It is for you and Choti alone, Khush.."

"I know.. Let me finish.. Arnav, let me help you finish our dream.. Let me be a part of it.."

Not getting to what it is leading to, Arnav spoke before it could create any drift between them

"You are everything of it Khush.. It belongs to you.. Everything of it.."

Idiotic kid! Stubborn Stupid kid!! Anju is easier to handle sometimes.. At least she listens to her completely before jumping to conclusions unlike this Irritating kid!! But she needs him to get her point..

"Mr.Arnav Singh Raizada! For once, just shut your mouth and listen to what I'm saying completely.. And for God's sake quit fearing I would go away from you.. Do you think this success will get me closer or the failure would take me away from you? Khushi is nothing without Arnav.. I would prefer dying in your arms than live a life with some one else! Yuck!! The thought itself is disgusting!!"

She saw him attempting to speak and she cut in..

"No! No, Arnav.. You'l listen to me now.. When I said let me help you, I meant I have money.. Amma's jewelry.. Its in the bank.. We'l sell it.. It would amount to nearly 5 to 10 crores.. There are 2 lands in my name near Lucknow.. As per the present day, It would offer us another 10 to 15 crores... Buy the building Arnav.. Its our dream.. Let us make it come true.. Together... Fine, take it as an investment.. I, Khushi Gupta am going to invest 25 crores in AR Fashions. I would like to have my investment back when you, Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada, the CEO of AR Fashions would get an annual turn over that is a million times of what I'v invested.. You get that? Now speak.."

Her man had tears in his eyes.. Unbelievable She couldn't take it.. She was going to move up to him when he slumped by her side and held her in his arms tight and secure..

After a moment of contentment, she heard Arnav speaking

"The offer shall be accepted on one condition.."

As she looked up to him confused, he spoke again

"Agree to be the CCO of AR Fashions as I'v proposed yesterday.."

She looked at him in awe and snuggled more into him

"It's a deal then Mr.Raizada."

And then came their third kiss.. She din't know when or how but all she remembered was him pulling her out of his hug enough to cup her face.. Looking into her eyes with all the love he held, that was overflowing the brim of his heart..searching for any traces of her resistance and then came the crush of his soft lips on hers the moment she closed her eyes surrendering herself to him...

The gentleness he held in his kiss contradicted to the athletic physic he possessed.. It had love and gratefulness filled in it.. It was a kiss that he was giving not expecting to take anything.. Giving her the love he couldn't speak in words.. Showing her what exactly she meant to her.. She heard him groan in her mouth and increase his pressure the moment she responded to his sensuous pleading.. Every touch of his hands on her arms, waist, back, breasts and her hair gave birth to a passion she wasn't aware of..

His touch burning her skin, created a havoc of her senses but yet it was all clear to her.. He was trying to make her realize what he felt for her, what she made him feel.. Every suck, bite, lick, touch of his lips and tongue he awarded her, had a rhythm of their own.. As if they were dancing to the music of their hearts, that were now beating in unison..

"This is how I'l seal my every deal with you Khush.."

******

Khushi was brought back from her trance when she felt the same warm hands rounding her waist.. Overflowing with happiness, she closed her eyes and leaned back more into him.. Arnav placed a lingering kiss at the nape of her neck and spoke

"For you.."

He had a packet in his hands.. Khushi looked up to him confused.. He hugged her back, placed a moist kiss on her fore head and smiled into her eyes..

"We'v got our loans sanctioned and grabbed our first contract, Khush!!"

Khushi was out of the world.. She spun around and dug herself into him.. He made it! And he brought her a gift on that occasion? A small gesture or may be a nothing to others but it meant everything to her.. It was a special moment for him.. She needed to make it memorable.. She knew what she had to do.. She moved out and raised herself on her toes and slowly traced his lips with hers..

Arnav felt himself floating to the world of passion.. She kissed him.. His Khushi.. This was the first time she had initiated.. He felt her brushing her soft lips ever so slowly not sure of what to do next.. Damn!! The initiation itself was an award to him.. He was on cloud 9.. His success at grabbing his first contract was no where near to what he felt at this moment.. He slanted his mouth, grabbed her waist and the back of her head, positioned her further and devoured her sweet taste.. She was divine!

Breaking out for breaths, Arnav whispered into Khushi's hair as she held onto him with her breathing fast and short..

"Do I get awarded like this every time I succeed?"

The love he saw in her eyes was undoing him.. How he longed to have her.. His love and need for her made him crave for her as much as he would for his next breath.. But, he would wait.. He would do it her way.. She was his Khushi.. His girl.. Though she wouldn't say a no to him, he knew her dreams and wishes.. Their first time would be his gift to her.. The most memorable and special moments that they both would cherish..

He came out of his thoughts as she moved herself out and cupped his face...

"Yes, this is how you'l be awarded.. Even every time you fail, Arnav.. I don't think we need a reason or a situtation to award each other.."

Did she just say that? Man, he's in love with an Angel.. She's blushing his favourite shade.. He had to kiss her back..right then..right there with an urgency and need that surprised him.. He needed to..

But,

"Bhayya! Congratulations!! In your words, I'm proud of you, Beta.. And.. In my words, I love you, Bhayya!!!

So, Bhabhi.. What dhamaka are we gonna have for dinner?"

Arnav hadn't yet let go of Khushi.. She tried freeing herself but his grip only got stronger every time she attempted a move.. What made him happy was that his Choti din't seem to bother their position.. In fact she was far comfortable than Khushi was and barely made any notice of it as if it was a regular thing she would see them like this.. He pulled out the other packet he placed on the kitchen slab..

"Choti.. This.. is for you.."

Tears welled up in Anjali's eyes..

"A present?"

Her Bhayya remembered?!!

Arnav hugged her to them and wiped her tears..

"This ain't new to us, Choti.. Remember? Every time I won a match or made the top in my college, I used to give you gifts.. This is no different.. You are my same Choti and I'm your same Bhayya!"

The entire scenario was quietly watched by Aakash and Aman who couldn't tell how happy and lucky they felt to have been associated with a family like this..

There was Arnav, who gave up everything he had and now was working day and night bleeding himself only to give back his love and his daughter the life once they'v had..

There was Khushi who was ready to give away her life for her Arnav and her Anju..

And there was Anjali, who knew nothing other than to trust and love her Bhayya and Bhabhi..

They were inseparable..

Aakash and Aman turned to each other smiling at the beautiful family and returned to the living room, praying and wishing to have a family sometime, at least half as happy as this for themselves..

***

"Bhai! Aakash Bhai! Offo! Aman Bhai you too! How's it? Bhayya presented it!!"

Though Aman couldn't stop jumping in his place at the sound of Anjali's shout, he and Aakash felt a warmth spread through them as they watched her turning about in her new baby pink suit that Arnav had gifted her.. It wasn't just her happiness but the way she included them in her family, the way she called them Bhai, the way she shared her happiness with them made them feel completely protective for her..

Yes, Arnav Singh Raizada was no more their boss alone but the head of their family..

"Its amazing Anjali.."

Aakash patted her head.

"Arnav Bhai does know what suits you the best.. You look like a princess.."

Aman added genuinely.

"Of course I am a princess.. My Bhayya and Bhabhi's princess.."

Anjali smiled at them and a distsnt memory made its way to her..

" Bhayya always says I look like a flower in pink.. He raised me up ever since my child hood.. I don't know much about my father.. I'v just seen him..just a few times.. that too from afar.. Bhayya was my father ever since I knew.. He is my Paapa.. I just love him.."

Regaining her control, she chirped in

"And... I love this dress too.."

The men were awed at the level of maturity they saw a moment back.. Was it the same hyper excited teen who's shout made them jump? There was much more to Anjali than they'v known.. Their respect and love for her increased by folds..

***

Arnav had been waiting for Khushi since half an hour.. His garden seemed to be dancing with joy.. The jasmines and lilies added the beauty with their presence around the red roses.. Red.. Red reminded him of the saree he gifted Khushi..

Earlier at dinner, when his Choti wore the dress he bought for her and showed him, he couldn't describe how elated he had felt. It was just a simple pink suit.. Nothing close to what she wears.. But yet, her genuine happiness and excitement made him want to achieve more, work harder and take their life to a stage where their past would never equate to..

He then looked at Khushi who was closely observing him.. She smiled at him with pride and love.. Squeezed his hand as if she was saying that he surely would achieve and that she would be with him through out..

He couldn't wait to watch her in the red saree he gifted her.. He knew she read his thoughts because the next minute he found her looking at him smiling shyly with a light blush and shaking as if she were trying to control her laugh..

Arnav heard the door of his room close.. He closed his eyes in her anticipation.. Reminding himself to stay in control, which, he was afraid he would loose the moment he would see her in a saree, that too red.. He heard the soft tinkling of her anklets, the music he craved for... He felt her close to him.. Afraid about the self control he had, he din't attempt to turn.. He breathed in her scent and felt himself loosing the battle.. For the first time he wished..no, prayed that she din't wear the red.. He felt her soft palm on his shoulder.. She came and stood by his side and he heard

"I wish I could share what you are going through Arnav.. The stress, the pressure, tension, work, everything.."

Arnav din't want to hear anymore. He turned to her, held her to his cheast and spoke firm

"You are sharing.. My life.. My heart.. My pain.. My stubborness.. My everything.. Khush, you are my everything, Damn It!! Do you know what I love about working like a maniac? That when I get back home, I have 2 wonderful women.. One, who would make me love her more with her madness and the other, who would make me mad with her love.. Its only because of you that I'm able to cope up Khush.. I need you to stay strong.. For me.."

Khushi's throat seemed to have choked up.. Words betrayed her.. She just nodded with wet eyes..

Arnav tried to change the topic when he noticed her tears.. But what caught his eyes was her dress..

"You din't wear the saree.. You..din't like it?"

"I..I din't open it.."

Khushi answered not meeting his eyes..

"What?"

The ground seemed to have slipped under him but he knew her.. He composed himself getting prepared to hear her heart-melting reason..

"Why?"

Khushi looked straight into his eyes,

"Its my first gift from you, Arnav.. And I want you to be the one opening it.. Since you said it was a saree, I want you to drape it on me.. For our marriage.."

Even through the shock, Arnav managed to speak up..

"It's just a simple red saree, Khush.. I din't have.."

"It's my marriage saree! You get that? It's the first thing MY HUSBAND bought the moment he achieved the first step of my dream.. IT IS MINE! Don't you dare say another word and I MEAN IT!!!"

Arnav was hit with a mix of emotions.. How can a person love with such intensity? Love so strong that it made him fear..fear of the consequences if he lost her.. He really had to stop himself from grinning at his fiery cat breathing red puffs in his arms.. He fell in love with her! Again!!

"If that's the case, then we'l get married tomorrow.. First thing in the morning!"

Khushi was shocked would be an understatement.. She went numb! She knew the tone in which he spoke.. It was the one he uses when he makes up his decision so strong that heaven wouldn't dare to ask him to reconsider.. Khushi went numb with shock.. This is what she wanted..all her life..To become his in every sense.. Should she be jumping with joy? Yes.. But not because she is getting married tomorrow but because he asked for it.. Khushi knew she had to handle this situation with rapt care and love.. She needs her kid to get a few things into his head..

Arnav knew he had taken the right decision.. It was what both of them had waited for.. He knew it might be a little early but they were as good as married now.. So, what difference would it make if they officialize it? He saw that Khushi was having a great deal of thinking but he was not going to back out unless she melts him with a really strong reason..

"Khush.. I know it's early but, this is what we'v wanted.. This was what Maa and Amma wanted.. we are as good as a married couple.. I am damn serious when I'm asking your hand for marriage.. Okay, may be tomorrow is a bit too fast since it's mid night nearly and we'v got less time to prepare.. Day after tomorrow? Fine.. Next week? That's final!"

Khushi fell in love with this man all over again.. But, Its not just about them.. They had Choti too.. She knew she's going to have a tough time convincing her stubborn kid but she has to do it..

"Come with me.."

"You haven't answered.. You.. You don't..want to?"

"Arnav.. Sit down.."

Khushi sat on his lap facing Arnav and snuggled into him.. She felt his grip on her going tighter with every passing second.. Oh God! What has the past done to her man!! God Almighty help her! Her Arnav was practically shivering.. His pain.. She could feel it.. His heart beats..erratic.. He was afraid.. Afraid that she would leave him like Maa.. Her heart bled at the agony he was going through..

She kissed his chest where she felt his heart thumping.. She held him tight and gently massaged the hair at the back of his head.. After a long time, he seemed to have relaxed a bit.. She pulled back and shattered at the pain she saw in his eyes.. Khushi cupped his face, pecked his cheeks and spoke softly as if she was singing to him.. To make him understand, to aasure him, to take his pain away.. She took his hand and placed it at her heart..

"Close your eyes Arnav.. You hear me? You feel that, Arnav? It beats..ONLY IN YOUR PRESENCE.. You feel it? It beats..ONLY FOR YOU.. Can you feel my breath on you? It is warm only when I know that YOU ARE WITH ME.. Look at me Arnav.. I. LOVE. YOU.. I know what you are going through and I'm going to help you out.. I'm your Khush.. Your Pagli.. Your Kid.. I AM YOURS for now, for ever and beyond... I need you more than my next breath.."

"I'v gone away from you because I knew that you would come back to me.. I would have never survived even a single minute if I wasn't promised of your return to me.. I would have never let you go if I din't know that we'l be together again.. I'm saying it again and I mean it, Arnav that, I love You.. I'm not going to leave you ever, EVER again.. Even if I did, I would be back to you.. I promise Arnav.. I, Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada promise you that my last breath would be with you.."

Arnav couldn't take it any more.. Though it started as a teasing night, the moment Khushi spoke of marriage, he din't know what happened to him but the need to make her his and him her's became his primal thought.. The demons haunting him since her departure 2 years ago resurfaced.. The helplessness and lonliness he felt when his Maa left him hit him hard, consuming him to a level where he felt he wouldn't be able to return anytime soon.. But his Angel sensed it.. She knew him better than him and he must agree, even better than Maa..

He knew she wouldn't leave.. He trusted her but he din't have any faith left in the destiny.. It never let him be close to his loved ones.. He loved her.. Yes with everything he had and above impossible but his fear of loosing her made him break.. Now, holding her in his arms, getting assured by her in such a loving way rather than being blasted for his childish and unnecessary fear, and her addressing herself as his wife and him as her husband, made him more vulnerable to her..

"I'm afraid Khush.. I..I can't stop.. You left..and..and then.. Maa.. I can't stop the fear.. It's too much that..that all I want sometimes is to just sleep holding you to me and never let go.."

"You will always sleep holing me to you Arnav.. I can't sleep otherwise.. You'v spoiled me, I love it and you need to bear with it all your life.."

Arnav let out a weak smile..

"Arnav.. I'm sorry.. No, I am! But I had to.. For us.. I left, true.. But, I'm back... And this time, till eternity.."

"Promise?"

Khushi heart was breaking with every passing second.. His every word of pain was twisting a knife in her heart piercing it.. She kissed him hard and slow.. With everything he taught her in the 4 kisses they've shared.. She wanted to take his pain away.. Fill him back with the joy that her Arnav once spread.. Heal his heart and make him hers.. She wanted him to understand that there was no Khushi without Arnav..

She broke out wiping her tears

"Promise.. See? I'v even sealed it!"

Arnav seemed to have regained himself a bit more but he was still vulnerable..

"Arnav, marrying you is the only wish I'v ever had, apart from living with you, which is a necessity, of course.. But, Choti is a child yet.. She is strong but not enough to forget the past.. We'l have to wait Arnav.. She needs to adopt to this new relation.. Let her finish her schooling.. It's just a matter of 2 years.. Once she enters college, she'l become more mature and comfortable with everything around.. I'm 22 and you are just 24.."

"25!"

Khushi was hit with laughter even in such a serious moment.. But she controlled herself.. Here she was trying the hell out of her in refusing to marry the man she loves and there he was hard on his decision and correcting his age as if it was the solution.. She smiled and held his hands in her, lifted to her mouth and placed soft kisses on each of them..

"Arnav, you are running your 25th year which makes you 24 years old.. Get that? Good.. Arnav if everything was perfect, I would have married you this moment.. I just can't tell you what you'v made me feel with that one decision of yours.. I'm in love with you, head over heels Arnav Singh Raizada, again. But, we have to wait.. You need to stabilize the business.. Choti needs to grow up a bit more.. We need to settle.. And above all, I want to spend these 2 years we would have spent the last 2 years if I hadn't left.. I want my Arnav to be with his Pagli.."

Arnav was in heaven.. No, correct that Arnav was with Khushi.. Heaven was nothing compared to his Khush.. For the first time in his life, Arnav Singh Raizada felt that his words would do justice than his actions.. He pulled Khushi into a Soul - touching and mind numbing kiss... He broke it in the middle and grinned at Khushi's disapproval of the break and whispered

"Khush, I. LOVE. YOU.. Unconditionally and irrevocably!"

Arnav knew what he saw in those Hazel Orbs.. A reflection of what he just spelled and the joy that echoed the one that filled his heart.. He knew she needed to hear those words and he knew he took too long to spell them.. But, no more.. She would hear them every day for the rest of her life.. Swearing, he pulled her back to seal his promise with much higher passion, fire and love...
