Chapter 18:
Khushi was sitting in her balcony early morning, enjoying the streaming hot cup of coffee in the chilly weather while snuggling more into the blanket she had wrapped around her. Though she could hardly see the neighborhood due to the fog, she kept looking at nothing in particular with a small smile playing on her lips. If someone would see her like this, then he would surely say two words that reflected from her: Happy and content. Indeed, she was. It had only been two days since she returned and she was already missing that time spent with Arnav's family. She couldn't wait to be a part of that family. Not that she wasn't but still living with them for lifelong would be different. Keeping the coffee table besides her, she drifted to the memories of all those moments she had spent with Arnav during her stay in the farmhouse and not to mention it still made her toes curl.
Flashback
It had started raining when Khushi and Arnav were having their coffee on the terrace, and one thing khushi loved was playing in the rains. Arnav had immediately gotten up and holding her hand led her to the shade where they could be saved only to look in surprise when Khushi left his hand and went in the middle of the terrace with her hands outstretched and eyes closed. Suddenly as if remembering that she wasn't alone, she turned around to look for Arnav and when she didn't find him, she pouted wondering where he had gone. She gasped as she was pulled into a hug with her back facing his front only to relax against him. Closing her eyes in a bliss, she turned around to face the man she loved and instantly saw him take a deep breath. And when he looked at her with so much intensity, she felt her breath leave her lungs. With one hand still on her waist, he removed the teasing wet locks from her face with his other hand letting his fingers linger there for a while and she shivered, not due to the cold but due to his penetrating touch that was creating havoc to her senses.
She closed her eyes when she saw him leaning forward and opened them the very next instant in shock, when his lips travelled to her neck peppering open mouthed kisses all the way from her jaw. Shifting her dupatta aside, he sucked the water droplets that seemed so inviting and taking the skin between his teeth, he bit it softly only to sooth the bite mark with his tongue and kept his head in the crook of her neck to calm himself down.
After few minutes, he looked at khushi who was still breathing hard with her eyes closed kissed her forehead asking her to open her eyes and when she did, she hugged him with all her might still not ready to face him after what had just happened but he could feel her smiling. He picked her up and twirled her around with her laughing in between and splashing water on him.
Flashback ends
She didn't know when she dozed off thinking of it woke up only to hear Aaliya yelling that her mother in law was coming in ten minutes to pick her up. She remembered the call her ammi had received yesterday from Zoya on how she wished to take Khushi to shopping and couldn't help but wonder whether Arnav would be there or not. What she didn't know that it was Arnav's plan altogether. Quickly discarding the blanket and leaving behind all those thoughts, she dashed towards her room to get ready.
*************
One thing Arnav hated was shopping. He had once gone shopping with his mom and regretted the instant they had entered the first shop. Because it took his mother four freaking hours to buy a pair of bangles. And the result was that he would literally lock himself up in his room on the pretense of some important phone call when anyone asked him to accompany them to shopping. But today, he was more than willing to do that just so that he could get some time with Khushi.
He drove them to a mall and parking the car followed them into a clothing shop, only to stop in his tracks as he looked horrifyingly when his ammi selected about 20 of clothes altogether for Khushi and asked her to try each one of them. He looked at Khushi's scared face and tried to school his expressions lest he burst out laughing at her face. Poor girl didn't know what was in store for her, he thought with a disappointed sigh and sat on one of the stools to wait for them to be free chanting to be patient.
On the other hand, Khushi struggled to balance her heavy lehnga and simultaneously tried to wear the gold embedded dupatta over her head when someone behind her came and held her hands and placed the dupatta on her head. She didn't have to look in the mirror to see who it was as she was very familiar with the touch but when she did, her breath hitched for they looked like a perfect married couple. The picture they made was itself so mesmerizing that they kept gazing each other through the mirror when she felt him lower his head and kiss her on the right cheek which turned redder at his ministrations. She looked up in his eyes and the way he was gazing her made her feel beautiful.
"I would have continued if not for my ever interrupting family."He said in a husky voice which created Goosebumps on Khushi's arms. What did he mean by continued? Would he have kissed her in front of everyone? Well not everyone but still...Khushi thought scandalized at the thought and found him staring at her raising his eyebrows and smirking as if knowing very well where her thoughts were going. She flushed and averted her eyes to Imran and Zoya who were coming their way. Confused, she turned to Arnav and asked: "When did uncle come?"
"I don't know, let's ask him." They walked towards their parents who were standing there with knowing smiles on their faces and before Arnav could even speak, Imran did:
"I heard that you guys needed lone time so like a knight in shining armor, I came to your rescue."
"Well I am flattered dad but please do not cover up for spending some time with ammi." Arnav said smirking at both of them
"Hey! I called him here so you love birds could spend some time with each other and you are teasing us."Zoya said slightly warming up and tried to keep her voice as normal as possible.
"Really? You wouldn't have been blushing otherwise mom."He looked at his mother who really was blushing like a newlywed and in return got a smack from her on his arm and he heard his father mutter: "Einstein!" making everyone laugh out loud.
"So you go with your wife and I'll go with mine and please do not even coincidentally come to the same restaurant where we are going. No disturbances today." Imran said wrapping an arm around his wife's shoulder and leading her out of the mall to spend a romantic evening with her. The atmosphere of wedding reminded him of his marriage and turned him a hopeless romantic these days, not that before he wasn't. He completely ignored Arnav's flabbergasted yet amused expression and him mumbling something like: "I wonder who the newly married couple is." he was too happy to take notice of that.
