Awwwwwwww

This is sooooo damn romantic

All love the possessive Arnav soo much

Minta and Tom were hilarious

Khushi’s twinkle in eyes should be coz Arnav is gonna get lucky with a kiss ???

Loved the effort Arnav put in even though they were engaged already. Tom and Minta now on board fully.

In front of the family he could not have formally proposed, so the private moment was precious.

see that is the thing. The first engagement was a surprise for them. He is a love struck guy who will leave chance to woo his lady luck. Even though she may already be wooed, but still.

Exactly! there are some things you can do infront of families, certain in front of friends, and something just need to be your own private moments. ☺️

Khushi started to follow them, but arnav quickely grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

Arnav: Tum kahan ga rahi ho? ... He snuggled his face into her hair and started to whisper..

Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada....

He hugged her from the back. Holding onto his arms in front of her stomach. She hugged his arms.

She slowly turned around and gently cupped his face with one hand.

Arnav: Khushi... She looked at him. His eyes were filled with happiness. Uttermost happiness and content.

She placed her other hand on his chest.

Khushi: Gee...

Arnav leaned his head forward and placed his fore head gently onto hers. In his husky voice he whispered...

Arnav: Thank you for saying yes.... She had a wide smile. She pulled her head back. He smiled while looking at her. She had this look in her eyes. There was a sparkle in them. She took her left hand that was cupping his right cheek and gently closed his eyes. Her heart was racing. She couldnt believe she was going to do this... But for all that arnav just did got her... This was her way of saying thank you..

She looked at him. His eyes were closed. She looked at him lovingly. She saw the man that was in her heart standing infront of her. She gently placed her left hand on his right cheek again. She slowly turned her hand sonow her fingers were facing his lips. She made sure that he right hand was on his heart. He held onto her waist a bit tighter. She smiled and licked her lips. She slowly slid her delicate fingers along his tender warm slightly parted lips. Very very slowly. His was breathing heavily. She could feel the warmth from his breath crashing on her fingers. She slowly covered his lips and leaned into his ear..and very softly whispered..

Khushi: I love you... She could feel him smile. His lips were still a bit parted, but covered by her fingers. She slowly moved towards his left cheek. Her heart started to skip a beat. It was pounding. She slowly started to go towards his cheek. She just touched her soft lips on his skin..Not caressing his cheek yet. Just a touch. She smiled slightly. She closed her eyes. And very very slowly she slid her fingers that were covering his lips a little bit. Just a bit enough to expose the tip of the side of his mouth. She slowly and very gently slid her lips a little bit towards his mouth. Just enough to make sure that the left tip of her was touching the right tip of his mouth. He took a deep breath. She slowly pressed her lips. Allowing them to curve along the side of hisright cheek... And gently press against the right tip of his... He held more tightly onto her waist. He gulped. She kept her lips there for a few moments.

He desired to press his lips against her fingers and the tip of her lips, but with great difficulty and control he stopped himself. He could feel the wetness of her lips on the side of his lips. He just took a deep deep breath. Hoping for time to stay still. Just them there, in their moment. She could feel his heart pound against her right hand. Hers was no less.

After a few moment skhushi slowly moved her lips away from him. And gently started to raise her left hand off, until the tips of her fingers were just touching his lips. She took another deep breath. She stood back on the ground and kept her eyes closed. She gulped and took a deep breath. She could not believe she just did that. She didnt kiss him exactly, but it was enough for her to say thank you.

She slowly moved her left hand down onto his chest as well. Placing it beside her right hand. She lowered head, facing down and slowly started to open her eyes. She kept her gaze down. She was nervous to say the least. Her heart was not under her control. Nor was his. She licked her lips and bit her bottom lip. She closed her eyes again. She was nervous... Very very nervous. It was always arnav who would try to take their relationship to the next step, but this time kushi made the attempt. IT wasnt the next step, since it was not a kiss, but it was more than before. And that was enough for him. More than enough. Enough to not let him sleep all night long.

After a little while arnav opened his eyes and looked down at her. He smiled. He took one of his hands and raised her chin up. She kept her gaze down, blushing. And sucking in her bottom lip. He gave a loving smirk. Then gently whispered ..

Arnav: yeh kya tha..

She had a wide smile on her face, and she placed her forehead on his chest. He chuckled. He put both of his hands on her waist again. He whispered...

Arnav: thank you...

Arnav: Ahem.. Chalain...

She looked up at him and smiled.

Arnav: Uppar.. I have the honeymoon suite booked for us.

Her smile vanishedand eyes wide opened. She was shocked.. She gulped. She looked at him with a worried look. He started to laugh.

Arnav: mazak kar raha hoon... Promise.. I have to check out and tell them to send all of this stuff back to the university.

She sighed of relief and closed her eyes.

Arnav: I can book a room right now though,, if you would like.. Just saying.. He said to her in a very flirty manner.

She looked up at him and playfully hit his chest.

Khushi: Lets go.... Back... They both smiled and started to walk out. Arnav stopped and put out his elbow, for khushi to link her arm though. She negatively shook her head. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. She took her hand and just put out a finger. He smiled. They would always just link their fingers together. That was them. Sweet and simple, innocent... And together.

They both came out of the ballroom. They made their way to the front desk... And the receptionist smiled looking at both of them. Arnav had a wide smile... Khushi looked down.

Receptionist: Mr. Raizada, I hope you enjoyed your stay...

Arnav: yes thank you very much. For all of your help. In everything. Thank you...

The receptionist looked at him and smiled..

Receptionist: If you dont mind me asking sir... What did she say..

Arnav chuckled, khushi blushed and looked down. Arnav placed his hand on khushi back and looked at the receptionist.

Arnav: I would like to introduce you to... Future Mrs. Arnav singh Raizada.

The receptionist congratulated them.

Arnav: Can you please ask the valet to bring my car.. And please make sure to send all of the stuff downstairs and upstairs to the location i had given earlier.

Arnav helped khushi put on her jacket and they both walked outside. Arnav helped khushi sit in the car and went to his side. He started to drive back to the university.

Khushi just kept on staring at the ring that arnav put onto her finger. She smiled and sighed as she saw how beautifully it was placed there. It was true, that the vein in that finger goes directly to the heart. And now she had arnavs rings that went directly there. But she was confused. The first ring was also arnavs.

Arnav saw her smile at the ring. HE grabbed he left hand and brought it close to his face. He gently placed a kiss on the ring. Khushi blushed.. He intertwined his fingers with her and then placed the back of her hand onto his chest. They both were happy and very content.

Khushi: ek baat poochon..

Arnav: gee.. Poochiyeh..

He smiled at he while saying this she smiled back.

Khushi: why did you do all this? She looked at him curiously.

Khushi: You had also put the last ring on, then why all this?

Arnav sighed... And then smiled.

Arnav: Because... My dear... Wife to be.. That ring i didnt get. You know i had thought of proposing to you a long long time ago. Even before the engagement. But the situations were never such. I wanted to give you a ring that i choose for you. I wanted to make sure that you were happy with saying yes. Not just being put on the spot to say yes.

He looked ather. She looked down. She was in deep thought.

Arnav: and most most importantly. I wanted you to know how much you mean tome. And what you mean to me. Khushi... I needed to be able to express how much i love you.. And promise to you that i always will. She smiled lovingly while still looking down. He again brought her hand that he was holding up, and this placed a longer tender kiss on it. She blushed.

Arnav: Waisay, tumnay meri puri mehmat par pani phair diya.

Khushi looked up at him in a confused manner.

Khushi: mainay.. Kaisay..

Arnav: first... You look amazing.. More beautiful than anything. All the arrangements was nothing compared to you.

She started to giggle. And looked the other way.

Khushi: arnav.. Stop it.. She said while giggling.

Arnav: what... I am serious.. And secondly. I was practicing for such a long time as to what i would say to you, and do this and do that. But then when you said,

Bachpan ki yaadoon kay sath gee thay hain hum.

Tere un vadoon kay sath gee thay hain hum.

Tumhari zindagi hain hum,

Tumhari saansain hain hum,

Tumhara chain hain hum,

Ab Sirf, tumhari hi khushi hain hum,

....Khushi started to blush. She was shocked how fast he remembered that.

Arnav: and what was the next part...

Khushi softly replied:

Teri yaadon main waqt guzaar nay ka dil cha tha hai,

Tumharahi bahoon main sama janay ka dil cha tha hai,

Dil cha tha hai kay bohot kareeb say daikhain tum hain,

Par naadaan aakhain tere kareeb aate hi bandh hogati hain.

They both smiled.

Arnav: how did you do that. How were you able to say something like that... Instantly..

Khushi looked at him. He looked at her questioningly.

Khushi: because.... Dear husband to be.. (they both smiled at each other as she said that)..... Dil ki baat, zuban par agathi hai. She looked the other way. She then slowly looked forward and leaned onto arnavs shoulder. She gently rested her head on it as they silently drove back to the university. Khushi had fallen asleep. Arnav parked his car, it was already really late. He messaged and asked if minta was up. There was no reply. Khushi didnt have her keys with her. Arnav picked her up in his arms and brought her over to his dorm. Tom was awake. As arnav tried to reach for his keys with khushi in his arms, tom opened the door. He smiled at them. Arnav whispered.

Arnav: hey.. Is it ok if khushi sleeps here tonight. Minta isnt answering her phone. Tom nodded and let them in. Arnav went to his room and gently placed khushi onto his bed. He slowly removed her shoes, earings and jewelry. He didnt want her to get hurt while she slept. He pulled the blanket over her. She looked breath taking. He got this clothes out, an extra pillow and went outside of the room. He gently closed the door behind him. HE went to bed outside on the sofa. It was early next morning. Arnav was already up and making tea. Tom woke up and came outside. They both smiled at each other. Khushi was still sleeping. Arnav and tom sat at the table.

Tom: umm.. Arnav.. I dont think that red is your colour.

Arnav looked at him weird.

Tom: You still have lipstick on the side of your lips.

Arnav was shocked. How come he didnt notice.

Arnav: what the... He started to wipe the side of his lips. Khushis lipstick probably left a mark last night when she came close to his lips.

Tom started tolaugh.

Arnav: shut up.. He laughed as well. Kept his head a bit down out ofembaressement.

Tom: how did this all happen?

Arnav took out his phone and showed tom their first engagement picture. He told tom what had happened at the temple, khushis attack, then the surprise engagement planned by the parents.

Tom: True love does make its way. Wait.. I remember that day you told me that someone attacked your fiance. Was that khushi.

Arnav remembered that he still had to deal with shyam.

Arnav sipped his tea. He then started to talk to Tom about how khushi told aish, and who aish was. And what had happened. Why khushi was about to marry someone else. Tom just listened.

Arnav: tom, it feels soo good just to be able to share this with you. Man. I could really use some advice.

Tom: we will find a way dont worry. I think your fiancee will be waking up soon.

Arnav: yes. Its her birthday today, so.. I am off.

Tom: oh right.. Btw.. This time, make sure to wipeoff the lipstick before walking around the entire university with it. Ok. And also give her a good morning kiss from me too. Muah...

Arnav was already making a cup of tea for khushi, he was just mixing the sugar in when tom said this. He took the spoon and threw it at him.

Arnav: this is why we werent telling you guys.

They laughed and arnav quietly went to his room. HE was hessitant to open the door. He peeked in and khushi was still sleeping. He went in and closed the door behind him. He looked at khushi. She looked beautiful even while she slept. He went and bent down infront of her face. Slowly tucked the loose strand of hair behind her ear. He noticed how her pallu was sliding down. His eyes widened. He gulped. He slowly pulled it back up. He sighed of relief knowing that khushi didnt wake up and see him doing that.

He looked at her face again. He was sitting on his knees on the ground. He slowly leaned in and placed a gently kiss on her cheek. He moved his head back as he felt her slowly starting to wake up. She opened her eyes. The first thing she saw this morning was arnav. She smiled as she thought it was probably a dream. Arnav in whispered in his husky voice.

Arnav: happy birthday...

She smiled and realized that it was not a dream. She opened her eyes and looked around. This wasnt her room. She looked confused. Why was she in arnavs room. When did she come there?

Arnav: it was really late last night and i didnt know where you keys were, so i brought you here. Dont worry. I slept outside. She smiled.

Khushi: good morning. Arnav sat up onto the side of the bed, still facing khushi.

Arnav: hot bed tea available at your service maam.

She smiled. She slowly raised her self and pulled herself back against the head board. As she went back her pallu slipped. Arnavsaw this, and immediatly turned his head the other way. Khushi felt embarressed but happy at the same time. No matter how close they came, he always respected her.

she gulped and fixed it back up. Arnav got up and got one of his shirts for her. He smiled and gave it to her.

Arnav: put this ontop. You will feel more comfortable. She smiled and politely obliged.

Arnav: khushi. Paas baith gaon.. Please... He said while making a baby face.

She giggled and moved down. He came and sat down right beside her on the bed. He passed her the tea. She first asked him to take a sip. Then she took one. They both silently sat there drinking their one cup of chai.

Khushi: i should be going... Thanks. He got off the bed. And she stood up. She had her red sari on, while wearing one of arnavs shirts ontop. She looked down.

Arnav: khushi.. Fashion is nice. I would have to agree, but it might not leave a good impression outside. They both laughed. He passed her one of his track pants. He left the room to allow her to change. She changed and came outside. The clothes were too big on her but she looked adorable. She peeked her head out of the room. She didnt want tom seeing her there. They already know that her and arnav were engaged, but she didnt want to create an uncomfortable situation coming out of ARnavs room with his clothes. Arnav saw his room door open a bit, and came back in. He held onto khushis waist and pushed her in. She held onto his chest, her hands were closed with his shirts sleeves. She held them into her fists. He pushed her back and closed the door. She looked at him with surprise. He had a mischevious smile on his lips. Something was up.

Arnav started to quietly talk. He didnt want tom hearing anything. He looked at her wearing his clothes. And raised his eyebrows. He softly pushed her to the wall while his hands still held her by the waist.

Arnav: Voh.. Main.. Soch raha tha... That...Umm. Since you know we are in toronto. And we are technically engaged, twice that is. Normally, there is another way of saying good morning here. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She knew he was going with this.

Khushi: acha…

Arnav: with you know.... Normally couples give each other a good morning kiss... He started to lean in.

Khushi: no.. Not necessarily.. She started to shake her head and tried to keep a straight face.

Arnav: oh really. Then what was last night.. Right before we left the hotel.. He looked at her with a grin. She started to push her tongue along the inside of her mouth.

Khushi: that was not a ..... Because...

She slowly raised her right hand and used the tip of her finger to slide along his tender lips, from one side to the other...

Khushi: because... Nothing was here. So... He scrunched his face in a playful manner. She pushed him back and he fell onto his bed. She giggled and ran out of his room and out of his dorm. He started to laugh. He lay on his bed and ran his hands through his hair. He was hopelessly in love.

Khushi ran to her dorm. Minta was already up. She opened the door. Khushi looked a bit embarresed. She was tugging on arnavs shirt from the neck. Trying to pull it up.

Minta: Haan haan.. Ab aain hain... Raat kahan par thi.. Hmmm... She started to raise her eyesbrows and had a huge grin on herface.

Khushi giggled and started to fix the loose strands of her hair behind her ear.

Khushi came in and minta pulled her to the sofa. Khushi crashed onto it.

Minta: so first tell me how the hell you two got engaged. I thought you were getting engaged to some dr. And last night. Man..your man is a gem!

Khushi folded one leg onto the sofa and faced minta. It felt soo good for her to be able to talk to her friend. She didnt say anything about shyam or why she was marrying rohit. But she did tell her about how arnav saved her, and that the parents got them engaged. And all the sweet things arnav did for her last night. Excpet for what happened after tom and minta left.

Minta was happy for her friend. She hugged her.

Minta: So now.. You are officially, to be Mrs. ArnavSingh Raizada.

Khushi: you know what minta. I love hearing that. I dont know why. Just do... It honestly tickles my heart whenever i hear that.

Both the girls laughed and got ready for the day ahead. It was Sunday, so it was a day off. Khushi recieved phone calls from her parents, sister, akash, and MM.

MM: Khushi.. Happy birthday. Did arnav do anything special yet foryou? Does he even remember? If not, you tell me, and i will make sure he remembers.

Khushi blushed.. How was she to tell MM what arnav did.. She just smiled. MM smiled on the phone as well. They continued their conversation and later hung up.

In the mean time, Payal had called Arnav. They spokeoften. He always called payal and garima to make sure that they were ok. He wanted them to know that he was there for them as well, not just khushi.

Payal: It is khushis birthday today. Did you know that.

Arnav tried to act all innocent.

Arnav: Today, really... Oh God.. Do you think your sister will kill me? They both laughed. .. Payal is Amma there. I needed to talk to her.

Arnav had started tocall Garima Amma ever since she heard that khushi started to call him mother mom.

Arnav: Namaste Amma. How are you.

Garima: i am good beta... How are you?

Arnav: Your son is just perfect. Amma... I needed to ask you for your permission for something.

Garima: ask... Is everything ok.

Arnav: yes Amma dont worry. I .. Acutally.. Wanted to give khushi a birthday party. But i needed your permission first.

Yes arnav had already done that for khushi, but no one else needed to know right. Plus he always wanted to make sure that garima was comfortable knowing that khushi and arnav were always within their limits, and that they always worried and cared about their cultural values.

Garima: Arnav, there is a reason i call you my son, not my son-in-law. You have made a place in our hearts. We trust you. And yes you have our permission. Arnav, i wanted to talk to you about something.

Arnav: yes amma.. What is it? Is everyone ok? Did others come and bother you guys again. I already spoke to the inspectorof your region and they have a special eye out for you guys. Didnt he come yet?

Arnav had informed the police about the threats that khushis family was getting. Khushi didnt know, but he needed to make sure that both of his families were safe and ok. He never told the authorities who the culprit was, but for the time being, their safety was his main concern.

Garima: yes yes dont worry. Hahah. I will call you later, there is someone at the door.

The door bell rang and Garima had to leave.

Later that evening, arnav had ordered another cake for khushi, got some balloons set up and a nice movie. He already spoke to minta and tom about the party. Minta said that she would khushi ready and come there for the party. Everything was set. Minta got khushi ready, but nothing too fancy. Arnav did mention that it was a daily gathering thing where everyone had to comfortable. Nothing fancy, just comfortable. Khushi came in her white churidaar. While minta wore her jeans and tshirt. Arnav opened the door and the girls came in. Khushi smiled looking at arnav, and arnav said in a very romantic and husky voice... Hi...

Minta: Ok you love birds,,,, lets go inside... You can do your kooochie poochie inside. Arnav and khushi both gave minta and annoyed looked.

Arnav moved aside and the girls started to walk in. Khushi pinched minta on her arms in a warning manner. She quietly started to whisper to her..

Khushi: this is why we didnt tell you guys.

Minta laughed... She was not going to stop. Khushi rolled hereyes. Oh God is all she could think of.

Tom came out and hugged Minta. He placed his arm across her back and did her onto his. They noticed khushi and arnav standing seperately.

Tom: Ok. Minta i think we will need to teach them how to act like a couple. They are officially a couple. So they now need to act like it as well.

Minta: agreed. She said while shaking her head.

Arnav sighed.

ArnaV: this is why we were not telling you guys. I think we are ok with the way things are, what do you say khushi..

Khushi smiled,looked him, then down and nodded. .

Minta: Khushi.. No no.. You mean. Mrs. Future ArnavSingh Raizada.

Arnav chuckled. Khushi just shook her head.

They went and ate dinner. After dinner, arnav was getting the cake ready when his phone started to ring in the living room. He looked at khushi and gestured her to get it. She saw the name, Amma.

Khushi: Amma, she said in a confused manner. It was a video call. She answered it. IT was Khushis mom. Only khushi called her amma. And arnav had her saved as amma in his phoneas well.

Garima: Happy birthday khushi... How is the party...

Khushi: amma, ap... Yeh number.. Umm. Party is good.

Arnav chuckled. He knew she was confused.. He came over and made sure that the camera was facing a little up, they could only see the shoulder up in the screen. HE stood beside her and placed his one hand behind her back. Her eyes widened. She took a deep deep breath and gulped. What was he doing. Arnav stood close to her. But not too close, otherwise khushi would have fainted.

Arnav: Namaste Amma. How are you?

Garima: Good beta, so party all set and good. You are keeping my beti happy right.

Arnav: party is all good and going on. Minta and tom are also here, just finished dinner. And amma i thought that we had agreed about something last time...

Garima laughed..

Garima: oh yes. Sorry i forgot. I hope you are keeping my BAHU happy..

Arnav: better.. Hahaha. Yes your bahu is fine. Because your beta is here.

Khushi turned her head a looked at him. When did he manage to become so close to her mom, and when did he become the son of the family, forcing her to become the bahu of her own family. She couldnt believe her the blessings in her life. The one thing that khusshi always wanted, was never for herself. For you see, khushi was a girl of responsibility, she was a girl that was the son of her family. And after marriage, the only thing that she was always worried about was how she would beable to fulfill the responsiblities that she had towards her family. But now she had arnav. Arnav was the one that fulfilled each and every single one of her wishes, ones that he knew about, and ones that she thought he didnt.

Payal took the phone from Garima. D

Payal: Hi... How is the party going on? Did khushi kill you yet? Haha

Arnav took the phone from khushis hand and started to walk towards the kitchen.

Arnav: No no, you saved me just in time. Thanks, owe you one sister..

Payal: mention not.. Oh guess what. You know the assignment you helped me with last time, i got perfect on it. Thank you soooo much. You are honestly the best.

Khushi just stood there staring at arnav. Arnav was busy getting the cake stuff ready while talking to her sister like his own. When did he become so close to her family. Her eyes became moist. She tried to hold her tears back.

Arnav hung up the phone and picked up the cake. He was about to bring it towards the sofas where minta and tom were sitting. Before he walked more forward khushi walked up to him, cupped his face with her right hand and gently placed a soft tender kiss on his right cheek. His was pleasently surprised. Everyone else was already there, and khushi did something like this... She moved back and looked at him.. He looked at her curiously with a small smile creeping up on his lips. The cake still in his hands. She softly whispered to him..

Khushi: thank you... He smiled his eyes brows still furrowed.. What was she thanking him for... He raised his head to ask for what.. She just shook her head and walked towards the sofa area. Arnav brought the cake and lit the candle. Khushi picked up the knife..smiled. She was about to ask arnav to come cut it with her, but tom and minta were looking at her. She closed her eyes, made a wish.. A wish for arnav and his happiness, a wish that just like did, if she would always be able to keep him happy. She opened her eyes and cut the cake. She took out one slice and fed it to arnav, then to minta. She put the cake into a plate and put the plate infront to tom. And offered him a piece. Tom smiled. Since tom was arnavs best friend, and now best man, she also became friends with him.

The friends all sat down, and khushi told arnav that she is going to go and make tea, he should get the movie started. Khushi went and made tea, minta came over to help her. Khushi whispered to minta.

Khushi: minta... Can you do me a favour.. Minta asked her what.. Khushi bit her lips, took a plung of faith and asked minta if she could help her with getting two blankets, one for her and tom, and one for her and arnav. Sit on a different sofa, and lights off.

Minta was shocked. She just stared at khushi.

Khushi: dont look at me like that na. Please.. Bas. Kar do na. I .. Need to.. Talk to arnav.

Minta: talk.. I know your mouth will be moving, but no idea if any words will be coming out. She said in a very cheeky manner.

Khushis smiled disappeared and she hit minta on her arm.

Khushi: nothing like that. Kardo na please..

Minta went and asked tom where the extra blankets were.

She went and got two. She put one on her and toms sofa and one on her and arnavs sofa. Arnav smiled and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Minta gestured to arnav that it was khushis idea. Arnav was surprised. He asked her was she serious. Minta nodded her head and moved before khushi came over with the tea. Minta went and sat down beside tom, pulled up the sheets on them. Khushi gave them their mugs and went back to the kitchen. She grabbed the one cup of tea that was her and arnavs, left the tray and made her way back. She went and sat on the sofa. A bit away from arnav. Arnav already had the blanket on his legs. He offered it to her, but she said no. The movie started. Khushi saw minta and tom focus into the movie, she saw arnav also just watching the movie. She put the tea cup infront of Arnav, he took the cup. She slowly started to moved in, arnav was surprised. She smiled while still looking forward. She slowly pulled the blanket that was on him to also cover herself. She slowly leaned in and pulled up his arm and brought her head forward. Arnav wrapped his arm around her. She moved a little more in, and pulled the sheet higher. Arnav just sat there. He decided to let khushi do what she wanted to so she could sit comfortably. For him, just having khsuhi near was more than enough. Khushi gulped, and slowly slid her hand that was on the opposite side of arnav onto his stomach. Arnavs eyes widened. He took a deep break, and khsuhi felt his ribs being pulled in. She smiled. Still looking forward. She slowly slid her arm across, enough to be able to hug him while sitting down. He leaned his head onto hers. He tightened his arm around her. They sat there.

Arnav whispered: Aj itni mehrbani kyon?

Khushi: bas... Dil cha raha tha.. With that she sighed and snuggled more in.

The movie finished, and the girls said bye. Arnav offered to go and drop them off, but khushi just smiled and said no..

Arnav texted khushi:

Pyaar kay panno sebhari kitab ho tum,

Rishton kay phooloon main gulab ho tum,

Kuch loog keh thay hain kay pyaar sachi nahin hota,

Un loogoon kay sawaal ka jawaab ho tum.

Happy BirthdayKhushi..

Khushi blushed and went to bed. Arnav did the same. The next morning, khushi called her mother to ask her what this whole bahu thing was.

Garima: khushi, you are our daughter, but Arnav has made a special place in our hearts. You know he calls us often to make sure everything is ok, and we are ok. Ever since the temple attack, he also arranged for our security. He spoke tothe police and all. Did you tell him anything about shyam?

Khushi: No amma. What would i say to him about his own family.

Khushi was a bit shocked, how arnav was being protective of her family. How did he manage to solve her problems, without knowing them. And would he continue if he found out. Khushi was left in a bit of a confusion. It was the same problem that arose in her mind when rohits proposal came. Arnav was doing so much for her, what couldshe have done for him?

Garima: did you know arnav first asked for permission to do your party yesterday. Such a sweet boy. That is when me and arnav decided that he is our son, and since you are getting married to him, then you are our bahu. So now, you have changed from beti to bahu for this family. Khushi.. I want you two to get to understand each other. Yes you are there to study, but life is about balancing everything together. We trust you, and want you two to spend sometime together.

Khushi blushed and her mother laughed. The said bye and she went to class.

Later that evening arnav messaged khushi asking her if she wanted to go out to dinner. Khushi told him she had some assignments do to. They both understood each other and their priorities. Yes they were each others priorities, but they also understood their responsibilities.

Khushi texted himback.

Khushi: what if... We plan something for Friday night, after classes? That way we can manage to also keep up with our studies.

Arnav: that is too far, sorry. Rejected!

Khushi smiled. She knew arnav well. She called him.

Arnav: i am not going to agree to this. I am telling you from now. He was starting to get annoyed of having to maintain a distance from her again. She just giggled.

Khushi: pleaseeee. She said in a soft and romantic manner. Arnav face softened. She started to laugh. She knew it was working.

Arnav: no...

Khushi: please.. Maan gaeyeh na... Mere liye..

Arnav: Argh.. Stop it..

Khushi: thank you... She said while biting her bottomlip.

Arnav: one condition, fridays you cannot stop me, saturdays, sundays either. Plus.. You will have to do whatever i say next month, during reading week. Simple and done.

Khushi: magar arnav.. She sighed... Only Friday.. OR Saturday..OR Sunday..

Arnav: NO..

Khushi: one day,, and the rest... I will agree to go somewhere during reading week, but on two conditions.

Arnav: what.

Khushi: first, not alone. And second apko apni AMMA say permission layni hogi.

Arnav: fine, but not doing just once a week.

She just laughed. She knew arnav wouldnt say noto her.

The week started to pass by very slowly. They would sometimes see each other in the hallways, but khushi would just look the otherway. Arnav started to get mad. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

It was Thursday evening and the girls were in their dorm. Just sitting around and talking with each other. Khushis mother called and was talking to her. The guys were in their dorm. Tom and arnav were both sitting down on their sofas watching tv. Arnav picked up his phone and called khushi.. Her line was busy. As he thought that khushi was not going to answer, he put his phone down, without noticing that khushi had answered. He went back to watching the hockey game with Tom.

Tom: Man arnav, look at this shot that the maple leafs did. Wow!!

Arnav: i know...Absotluely classic shot.

Khushi was confused. She started to laugh. She muted the call.

Khushi: i think arnav accidently called and didnt notice. Him and tom are watching something.

Minta: dont hang up... Lets hear what they are saying. Khushi put the phone on speaker and they both sat around it.

Tom: Its an Ad finally.

Arnav: i am getting something to drink, you want.

Tom: yeah sure.

Arnav got up and went to the kitchen to get some pop. He came back and gave a can to tom.

Tom: Any plans for reading week coming up.

ArnaV: Me.. No..Lets see. Will probably plan something with khushi.

Tom: of course of course... You want to do another romantic get away... Hmmmm

Arnav: i wish! He laughed..

Khushis eyes were widened. Minta was in shock.

Minta: khushi, you are soo lucky, arnav always does these things for you.. Tom doesnt do anything for me.

Tom: what do you mean you wish, i remember how you had the lipstick on your lipssss.. Remember, her birthday.

Khushi was red. How the hell did tom know. Minta was in shock. Her jaw dropped and she looked at khushi. Khushi gulped. Khushi shook her head trying to tell her it wasn't like that. it wasn't a kiss.

Arnav: wasnt anything like that. Trust me. You know her right. He said that with a somewhat sad voice, As if he expected more, or wished for more.

Tom: You mean to tell me, that even though you two are engaged, you still havent hit first base yet?

Arnav: no.. Khushis doesnt like that kind of stuff, very traditional and all. I dont mind though. I respect her, and honestly its all cool.

Khushi had a straight face. Why was he sounding disheartened. She noticed something in his voice. Her eyebrows furrowed. Minta was looking at khushi look at the phone. She stayed quiet.

Tom: And you.. What do you want?

Arnav: me.. What do i want.. I dont know..

Tom: arnav, i have known you long enough that i know you know what you want.

Arnav sighed. HE took a sip of his pop.

Tom: Dont worry, it is the same thing for me and minta as well. First base yes... But nothing ever anymore. Nothing like spending a long time doing that, but here and there, sure. That too only when i agreed to meet her parents during the christmas holidays.

Arnav: Wow... That is a big commitment from you.

Tom: i know... And a person like me, with commitment, it is starting to give me cold feet. And now since you decided to be all romeo and propose to khushi, she has now been dorpping me hints. Thanks man.

Aranv laughed at him.

Arnav: sorry man. But.. Man seriously. Give it a thought. Commitment isnt a bad thing you know.

Tom: and what will commitment do. You are committed to khushi, but "nothing" for you.

Arnav: Yeah....

Minta and khushi both just listened to them talking. How could they talk like that to each other. They never said anything to them.

Arnav: you know what.. Sometimes i feel that yeah, me and her have come a long way. But sometimes, you just want more.. Dont get me wrong, i love the way she is. It was her character that made me start to fall for in in the beginning. But now, sometimes you just want to go and take the next step. I cant, because i know she wont like it. I Just stop myself then. .... Some how....

Tom: And that my friend is not an easy thing to do, especially for us men.

Tom and Arnav both started to talk about the game again. The girls hung up the call. Minta took khushis phone and called back. Khushi took the phone and hung up.

They both just looked at each other.

Precap: What do the girls do? Do they do anything?

thank you for such sweet comments. This time the shayari I took from online. I will be doing so, it really helps get the message across. IF I do write it, I will make sure to put it on the chapter. either the beginning or the end.

Arnav has multiple layers, just like he has multiple roles and responsibilities. He has a possessive layer, he has an angry shade, he has a loving side for family, or who ever he considers family, and then he has his Romeo side (my fav side btw. ;) )

The girls do know, but how do they react. Lets see. I have the chapter written, and do keep in mind that whatever happens is for a reason. There are three or four problems that need to be solved. 1) shyam 2)aish 3) physical 4)… keeping this one a secret. I want to see if anyone guesses it. or highlights it afterwards. lets see.

the raita has spilled everywhere for all the problems, meaning all the problems have developed well enough for them to start getting solved.
