ArHi SS: Humsafar *Complete* - Page 20

He stared at her with a serene smile playing on his lips. Her face was literally glowing with happiness and contentment, he concluded. Last night was something he could never forget. Yes, they had made love every night since they have got married but until yesterday, there was a hint of hesitancy, shyness and uncertainty in Khushi's response.

But last night, she responded to his every kiss, to his caress with equal intensity. He watched in silence as she slept, his hand tucked under her rosy cheek. He could feel her warm breath falling on his hand, making him squirm. But he didn't want to wake her up.

She needed rest after last night, he thought with a smirk adoring his lips. He knew he never confessed to her that he loves her but she must have figured it out till now, didn't she?

He closed his eyes immediately as he saw her stir and her eyes opening slowly. He feigned that he is sleeping as he felt her staring at his face. It took every ounce of control in him to not push her back on bed when he felt her getting up, placing his hand back on his side.

He stayed still, noticing no movement from her end. Then he felt her inching closer. He got a whiff of her flowery scent as her silky, long hairs sprawled on his bare chest.

He kept his body still, breathing normally. His hand fisted the bed sheet as he felt her breath fanning his face.

She was so close to him...

She came close to him willingly...

He tried his best to not smile when he felt her giggle shyly, her fingers tracing his jaw. Then he felt it.

A warm, moist kiss being placed on his left cheek soundlessly.

Her touch was as light as a feather making him smile mentally. He felt his heart thudding loudly, threatening to burst out of his ribcage as she placed another kiss on his right cheek.

His hands ached to hold her in his arms but he resisted.

Unconsciously, he held his breath as her breath fell on his lips now making him gulp. He could feel her looking at his lips. His lips were stinging, longing to taste her luscious, full lips again but he resisted.

Her hands hold onto his forearms as she leaned onto him slightly. He could feel her cheeks red, her eyes shut and her breath hoarse like his.

As he waited in anticipation, he felt her slowly pressing her lips on his before leaning back a little. Then he heard a faint whisper in her shy voice "Good morning, Arnavji."

She was already moving away from him when his hands wound around her waist, flipping them over. He stared down at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes as Khushi first avoided looking in his eyes and then scowled at him as he refused to let her get up.

"You had your fill of good morning, sweetheart. Now it's my turn." Arnav said teasingly, seeing how her eyes widened and her mouth opened to protest.

Not letting go of this opportunity, he captured her lips in a passionate kiss stifling down all her protests.

His hand moved upward from her waist, caressing her in a lazy manner as she sighed, letting her mind drown in his kiss, his touch on her feverish skin.

"I think this royal blue and red lehenga will be perfect for her, what do you think Maa?"

"Where the hell is my phone?"

"And this diamond necklace is perfect for this outfit Payal, don't you think?"

"Where the hell are my car keys?"

"Maa, I think..."

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS HOUSE?"

"Shut up Arnav!!!!!!"

"Shut up Arnav!!!!!!!!"

Mrs. Raizada and Payal said at the same time, looking at Arnav who was roaring like a lion few moments ago. He glared at the pair of them, feeling his patience running out seeing how late he is getting for work.

This morning when Khushi and Arnav had finally come down, they were flabbergasted to see many colourful trousseaus and expensive jewellery boxes occupying most of the living room. It was only then had they got to know that their family was planning to throw a reception party for them, the day after tomorrow. Since then, Arnav hadn't managed to get a glimpse of Khushi, who was right now trying every outfit upstairs that his mother had selected for her, which no doubt made him angry and cranky.

So much for hoping to have a blissful breakfast with your own wife, huh!!!!

And top of that, he wasn't able to find his phone and car keys. He quirked his left eyebrow up as he saw Payal keeping everything back before coming towards him.

"Check your pocket." Payal said, crossing her arms.

Arnav slipped his hand inside his trousers pocket, finding his mobile and car keys at once. He looked up at Payal sheepishly as she scowled at him.

"Now go to work, you idiot." Payal scolded him, already walking back.

She shrieked as next moment Arnav threw a pillow at her, before having a glance around for the last time and running out of the house. He sighed knowing that he won't be able to see Khushi before leaving.

Suddenly, he felt a pricking at the back of his neck. He turned and his eyes involuntary went to the terrace.

There stood Khushi, under the bright sunlight, waving her hand at him. She smiled and mouthed bye' quietly while staring down at him.

He smiled as she ran away the moment his mother called out for her, looking back for the last time as he leaned against his car and stared up at her.

He shook his head as he went away, not knowing that his wife was looking down from their room's window, smiling widely at him.

"Arnavji...where are we..."

"SShhh..."

Khushi followed her husband quietly as he shushed her down once again. Around 10 pm, they both were sneaking out of their own house like thieves.

Arnav who was holding her hand, took her to the back of their house. They both entered in the garage quietly as Arnav looked around.

He walked around, saying "I am not staying in the house for another minute. The mess that Maa and Payal are making over this whole reception thing is driving me crazy."

He took the covers off and Khushi gasped seeing a black Royal Enfield Bullet in front of her. Patting its seat, Arnav looked up at her "Beautiful isn't it?"

"Arnavji is it your bike?" Khushi asked, still reeling in shock.

"Yeah Khushi, it's my first bike I bought from my own money during my college days. I used to work part-time during that time." Arnav asked, taking out the keys.

"But your family is rich. Your father could have easily bought it for you right?" Khushi asked, still not moving an inch.

"Yeah, but buying something from the money you have earned always make you happy and worthy of owning it." Arnav explained, now starting the bike.

Could anyone be this perfect, Khushi wondered as Arnav wore the helmet.

"Are you coming or not?" Arnav asked, smirking at her suggestively.

Khushi beamed and hopped on behind him on the bike. She immediately entangled her arms around his waist as he started the bike, giggling a bit.

After exploring the city for a long time, they stopped near a market place which was half empty. As Arnav rubbed his hands to make them warm and turned to look at Khushi who was shivering.

Looking concerned, he drew her closer to his body and asked "Are you okay?"

As Khushi looked at him and nodded, he looked around and spotted a tea-stall nearby. He dragged her towards it "Come let's have a cup of tea."

They sat together on a nearby bench with a cup of tea in their hands, talking on random stuff and staring at the full moon sometime quietly.

And that's how Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Singh Raizada went for their first long drive that night, returning home quite late.
