FF:A whole New Light Part 2

Khushi was least expecting this. Not even in her wildest dreams. It was like suddenly her stars had aligned in the best way possible and DM was showering blessings on her. She composed herself and looked at Karan to assimilate what was before her. For her money and status were never a priority in life. But given her current circumstances she could use all the help in the world. Money or support. She thanked Karan profusely and hugged him. He had no idea what favor he had done to her. She asked Karan not to reveal this yet to her family. She was not ready for their reaction yet. Meanwhile Arnav was feeling as if eon had passed and these two were busy talking. He was restless. It was just an 8 minute conversation and it felt as if it was 8 years. Finally they came back and he saw a spark of confidence in Khushi's eyes. Finally the Saxena's bid adieu and promised to meet again soon. Everyone in the RM liked the mother-son duo. Mami especially wished she had a daughter as she would have got a rich-handsome-tall son-in-law. Arnav had some reservations regarding the son. He liked Tara aunty though. Anjali even supported his thought process by saying how much Tara aunty's demeanor reminded her of their mom.

Arnav saw that glow back on Khushi's face tonight. She seemed to be happy. He thought her old memories had done him a great favor. He could see happiness reflected in Khushi's face. He so wanted to open his heart for her. But he didn't want to ruin the day for her. He asked Khushi to sleep on the bed and he took the lounge chair. Next day before he woke up, Khushi had already left their room. By the time be came down for breakfast, he heard Khushi and Payal having a conversation and looked like the sibling bond was back with a bang. Khushi knowing Arnav's presence was scurrying to provide him breakfast.As she approached him he pulled her towards him and planted an unexpected kiss on her tummy. That caused Khushi to lose her balance and the dishes were about to fall of her hand which was duly held by her husband. She flushed beet red and recomposed. That night after dinner Arnav had made up his mind to talk to Khushi about their hasty wedding. He heard her entering the room and took a deep breath. He didn't know what would be the outcome of this conversation. But he was ready to face anything in the world to win back her confidence . She sat on the edge of the bed and was playing with her bangles. That's when he approached her. He said Khushi I need to talk to you about something. Khushi observed the undertone in his voice and it sent shiver down her spine. She would see a storm looming over them. She didn't know if she was prepared for it. It was just about 2 days that things looked bright for her and now she could sense things changing.

He held her hand and knelt before her. He started Khushi I am extremely sorry for ruining your life and also robbing you of your dreams of a grand wedding. It was sheer misunderstanding on my part which has caused this amount of disarray in your life. Solely I am to be blamed. And he gave her the reason and what he had seen that night of wedding and what he understood. Khushi was shocked and kept absorbing the words. It took a minute or two for her to assimilate the news. And she got the gist of it. It was for his sister he took this impulsive decision. He thought she was a home wrecker. He thought she was having liaison with his pervert BIL. He had doubted her character. He had questioned her moral values. It all boiled down to the point about her character. She couldn't take it. She felt cheated. And he didn't even care to talk to her about this before coming to such a conclusion. She despised him. She shook her hands of his hold and stood up suddenly. That made the blood to surge her brain suddenly and she felt dizzy. She muttered Arnavji..Next minute she was lying on floor unconscious. Arnav had expected anything from her but this. He wanted her to scream on him, push him. Take him for a task. Call him names. She had taken it upon herself and too hard. Arnav screamed Khushi and tried and gently placed her on the bed. He sprinkled water on her but she was still not conscious. He called Akash and Payal to rush to his room ASAP. He called the Dr. He sat next to her and massaged her hands. Akash and Payal rushed to his room and Arnav explained why she fell unconscious. Payal started crying and started seeking divine help. Arnav for once wanted to seek her DMs help. He wanted to believe in all the things she believed in. Khushi started moving and was trying to open her eyes. Arnav became ecstatic and hugged her and asked Khushi Tum teek ho!! Khushi just threw his hands away and mustered to sit up straight. Arnav helped her with this. She looked at Payal and said jiji hum teek hai. She was avoiding Arnav at all cost. Arnav knew his hard days had just begun. It would take a while for him to redeem himself this time. Dr arrived and he checked Khushi. He mentioned she was very exhausted and drained out. She had to take rest and plenty of fluids and eat well. Arnav made a mental note of everything. Nani,Anjali and Mamaji called upon Khushi. They were assured she was fine and not to worry about her. When everyone left Arnav sat beside Khushi and tried to talk to her. Khushi didn't want anything from him. She just stared at a corner and was lost in her thoughts. Arnav was feeling very helpless and this was all because of him. He had ruined her life. Ripped her soul, shredded it into pieces and walked past her without looking back. He had made her an orphan once again. He had abused her mentally. His family and her family despised her. She had no one on her side and he acted as if he hated her.

Few hours passed by and Payal brought lunch. Khushi didn't feel like eating but was forced by Arnav and Payal to eat. She thanked Payal and just lay down to sleep. She was mentally exhausted and went into deep slumber. She woke up and thought she just had a bad dream that her husband questioned about her moral values. Then it dawned it was not a dream but factual. She wanted to leave that room, him, his house, the environment and move away far off. She stood up to pack her things. Arnav sensed it and asked what she was doing. Khushi didn't bother to answer. Khushi was quite weary after all the events of the day. Arnav was desperate for Khushi's attention. He wanted to know what was running in her mind.He didn't want her to leave him. That was the thing he was worried about the most. He wanted her to give him one chance. He held her hand and looked at her and said Khushi please don't leave the house. Give me one chance to redeem myself. The effort by me how much ever it would be will be minuscule when compared to the torture you have endured. Khushi was exhausted to think further and his petitions were making her weak. She just sat on the bed and wanted to think about this calmly. She had 5 more months of time.

Next day Karan called Arnav and asked if he could talk to Khushi. Arnav passed the phone to his wife with an effort. He was worried that Karan and Khushi's past should not endanger their already fragile relationship. Khushi with faint voice talked to Karan. Karan wanted to know if Khushi could meet him up somewhere or if he could come to RM. Khushi wanted solitude. She didn't want Karan's probing eyes to press for any information. She wanted to avoid him at all cost. She said she wasn't feeling well and so she will not be in a position to meet him and hung up. After about an hour or so it was Karan at the door step of RM. He was worried sick after talking to Khushi about her well being and had rushed to see her. HP lead Karan to Khushi's bedroom where the master of the house was sitting in front of laptop and Khushi was lying on the bed. She was avoiding everyone and everything. Seeing Karan enter their room, Khushi tried to sit and Karan ran towards her to help her. Arnav fretted at the sight of this. His jealousy pangs started biting him. Khushi asked Karan why he was here and Karan mentioned she sounded sick on phone and so he came to check on her. Arnav was watching all this commotion from the corner of his eye. He wanted to tell this Karan guy that Khushi was none of his business and she was his wife and he was perfectly capable taking care of her. And felt like telling him politely to keep his hands off from his wife. Khushi asked Karan how was aunty and Karan ignored her and started asking what happened. He started his own barrage of questioning. Why was she looking so pale and why was her face so bleached. Was Dr summoned. What did he say. And the list went on and on vexing Arnav and making him get up from his seat and to walk towards Khushi and Karan. Arnav came and stood in front of Khushi with his hands folded and looking at her intently to search for anwers which he himself didn't know. Khushi ignored him and spoke only to Karan that she was exhausted and so she felt dizzy and fell unconscious and stuff. Karan got riled up on Arnav and asked him if there were any problem to find help in Delhi. Why does Khushi have to do household chores. Khushi gave a small victory smile for her friend's bravery to tackle her husband. It was the last straw to test Arnav patience. He said to Karan that RM had enough people to help Khushi. It was umm.. ummm' more of a mental exhaustion because of wedding and all that had drained her energy. He felt Khushi was a bit agitated by his response. But at moment that was the best come back he could snarl at this Karan. After spending some time with Khushi Karan left and mentioned that tomorrow he would come with his mom to enquire upon Khushi. She pleaded that was not needed but it fell on deaf ears.

Khushi was feeling much better the next day and she had already started her routine even though everyone insisted that she should rest. She took it lightly for the day as her mind was wandering. She was not able to comprehend the accusations hurled upon her about her moral value. It was weighing too heavily on her mind. She could forget everything and forgive him for everything but this one. It didn't matter to her that she was once again an orphan because of him or the abuse she had to go through. She could bear that thousand more times but this one. She felt a sickening feeling thinking about it. She was lost in her world when she heard a familiar sound Tithaliya.. it was her buaji,amma and babuji who had come to visit her. She was shocked. Arnav had started his redemption process. He had called upon his inlaws that morning and gave full account of their sudden marriage. He had mentioned that he had blackmailed Khushi to marry him by giving Payal's wedding as the reason. Khushi had no choice but to heed to his demands. Khushi was at no fault and it was all him who had to be blamed. The Guptas rushed with him to RM to apologize for the blunder they had done for Khushi. Khushi seeing her babuji ran towards him and hugged him and wept on his lap. She was desperately waiting to see him once. Her babuji consoled her and with his eyes conveyed her he already knew she was at no fault and it was just a matter of time when things will turn into her favor. Both gupta ladies profusely apologized Khushi for their wrong doings. Khushi hugged them and cried and forgave them. Arnav felt a slight triumph seeing the scene. He had closed one loop for his wife. He was waiting for Khushi to meet his gaze and was disappointed as she ignored him completely. That evening Karan and his mom visited RM to check on Khushi. Tara aunty noticed the tension between newly weds. Khushi hardly made any eye contact with her husband. She wanted to talk to Khushi about this as she treated Khushi as her own daughter. If things were the way Khushi's parents and she and her husband planned, Khushi should have been her DIL. But destiny had other plans. She was happy for Khushi as she liked Arnav. He had lots of love in his eyes for Khushi which was the reflection from his heart. Khushi spoke lovingly to Karan and his mom and smiled a bit also for Karan's antics. He was always cheering her up and reminding her of her golden days. Arnav noticed Khushi's good mood when Karan was around and which made him want to wring that idiotic guy's neck.

Luckily for Arnav there was no call from Karan for next 2 days. It was a welcome relief. Khushi totally avoided him and didn't want to do anything with him. He tried to talk to her several times everything in vain. She either spent time with her Jiji and his Di. His patience was running out and he was could handle this pressure. All he could do is waiting for things to turn around. Atleast she was staying under the same roof with him. Arnav was brought out of reverie by the phone ring. It was from Karan. There was no avoiding this guy. Was there. He wanted to ignore the call but his better manners made him answer. Karan asked if he could take Khushi to Kashi industries today as many of the employees were eager to meet her. They had seen her when she was a little girl. Arnav couldn't refuse and said that he and Khushi will be there today and asked for the address. Karan said that it wouldn't be necessary because he can pick up and drop Khushi as he was anyway driving there and that way would get to spend some time with Khushi alone. Arnav couldn't believe the nerve of this guy!! And before he could reply Karan had already disconnected. In 20 minutes Karan was in RM. Arnav was fuming in anger seeing Karan. But that didn't have any effect on Karan. He asked Khushi to get ready surprised to see her not waiting for him as he had already conveyed the message to her husband .He told her he had already took her husband's permission and they were driving to Kashi industries. It was would be quite a commute and hence asked Khusi to hurry up and at the same time mentioned Arnav that it would be almost late evening by the time Khushi will reach home. Khushi actually was very excited to meet her old acquaintances. It kind of was binding her to her parents once again. She had completely locked it somewhere in her heart for eleven long years and so she was looking forward to meet them. She was ready in 15 minutes and she bid her byes to Anjali, Payal, Dadi and Mami ignoring Arnav. On the way to Kashi industries Karan and Khushi had some casual talks and the topic turned towards Arnav. Karan asked if Khushi was happy with Arnav. He said he noticed that they hardly behave like newlyweds and that too hopelessly in love as theirs was a love marriage. Khushi just didn't answer the question. He also mentioned that in order to find Khushi , Karan and his mom had hired a private detective and tried to get some information. They were aware of some of the hardship Khushi had met with. She was at times the sole bread winner and was not able to complete her studies. Tears were welling in Khushi eyes which were difficult to hold. Karan said he was very proud of the way she had held herself. And now being Arnav's wife she didn't have to worry about all these things and can concentrate on further studies. Khushi sat in silence and didn't respond. And then he said that one dreaded question which she was avoiding. Why doesn't she talk to her husband of one month. Why the rift in a month old marriage. Khushi said it's something between her and Arnav and she was not comfortable talking about it. So Karan said you admit there is some issues right. That all I wanted to know. Rest is assured that I and mom are always there for your support. Any time of the day she could call them and they would come running to help her. Khushi felt as if a thousand needles were pricking her heart at once. She wanted to avoid looking at Karan as she was sure that she would not be able to withhold her tears any more. Finally they reached Kashi industries. Khushi met many of her old friends there and they were very happy to see her. Time flew by while she was at it. It was almost 3 hours since she that reached there. And then she heard that very familiar voice. Khushi !!! Her husband was standing beside her. Her heart skipped a beat and she was surprised by her reaction. She loved it that he was there.She was surprised by her feelings. She asked Aap Yaha. He said I was in the vicinity to finalize a deal and thought will pick you up on the way. Khushi knew it was nothing but a hogwash because Kashi industries was on the outskirts of the city limit and she had observed that it was situated in a deserted area and definitely Arnav's high profile clients wouldn't have got anything to do in the vicinity. Her friends asked her to introduce him to them and one Mr. Mehta openly showed his admiration to Arnav. He said he had read about the famous reclusive Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada and was happy to meet him. Khushi's heart filled with pride but she didn't show anything. Arnav being the center of attention was quite embarrassed and wanted to leave that place soon. Karan saw Arnav and was surprised to see him there but invited him to have a tour of his place. Arnav was quite impressed with what he saw. He thought had Khushi's parents been alive now, his FIL would have been the one to introduce him to his employees. Suddenly he felt bad for Khushi. She was deprived of so many things in life at a tender age. But the thing bothered him was in Karan's office he saw an enlarged wall size picture of Khushi and Karan when they were kids. He got the point that for Karan, Khushi holds a special place in his heart. Khushi was very happy for Karan as he was so successful in his venture. Mr.Mehta was still not satisfied with Arnav and wanted to talk more. So he followed Arnav and started talking to him. Seizing the opportunity Karan took Khushi away from there and told Khushi that he feels Arnav might not be very pleased with Karan and Khushi's renewed friendship and may not be very comfortable also. So Khushi said not to worry and she will handle it. This didn't go unnoticed by Arnav who was literally in fumes. If he could get away with one murder, he knew his target. Shyam would very well be excused. Arnav was disturbed from his wild thoughts by Karan who asked him to join them in conference room. As Aranv joined them, Karan said to Khushi so princess did you like what you saw. Hearing him say princess gave a big jolt to Arnav who almost fell off his seat. Seeing this Karan quickly added you know what Arnav, Khushi was called princess back then because her father insisted everyone on calling her so. He treated like real one and her tantrums were worth watching.Every demand of hers were met with by her father.He pampered her to the core.. Khushi.. remember that incident when you asked for.. Immediately Khushi cut Karan's memory trail blabbers and said to him not to call her Princess anymore because right now in her current circumstances she was nothing more than a maid . And she gave a indignant look at Arnav and stormed off with tears in eyes.. Arnav and Karan looked at each other and Karan gave a disapproval look at Arnav and Arnav growled at Karan. They both went in search of her and found her not very far from there and she was in sobbing heavily. Arnav just grabbed Khushi and made her face him only to be pushed back by Khushi. Karan worried sick for Khushi asked her to calm down and went to get some water and leave the couple for some privacy. Arnav having dealt a lot for the day asked Khushi if they can leave and he needs to talk to her. Khushi said not to bother about her and Karan will drop her and Arnav was free to leave. Arnav's jealousy, patience, possessiveness had reached its peak. He was in no mood to relent and grabbed Khushi by her forearm and took her to the car and almost pushed her to sit and buckled her and drove from there. He called Karan and said that they were leaving and just switched off the phone.

Except for the roaring sound of the car there was absolute silence. Khushi was looking outside the window and Arnav was stealing glances at her. After about 30 minutes of this silent war Arnav slammed on his brakes and parked the car on the deserted area near main road. He started listen to me Khushi I love you and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. You have enough reasons to think otherwise but that doesn't alter the truth. I accept my impish behavior and consider myself to be a scum bag for behaving that way. Things went out of control then on and at one point I totally lost it. In all this I assure you that my love for you never changed. When I hurt you I was hurt manifold. I was punishing myself seeing you in pain. You are the girl of my dreams and because of my utter misjudgment I thought you were in the arms of a creep. I was in the most vulnerable state. And then the news of Di being pregnant. And that creeps twisted mind tricked me that you were in love with him. All this made me react the way I did. I am not giving you any excuses. I am laying my heart out in front of you. Right now you and you alone are the most important person in my life. I have no doubt about that. Di is my responsibility and I worship her. But the feelings of possessiveness I feel for you, cannot be matched with anything. Please give me on opportunity to prove myself. I love you Khushi and cannot leave without you. Khushi please give me another chance. For the first time in 2 weeks Khushi made eye contact with Arnav. She was in full form and wanted to give Arnav a piece of her mind. She started just remember Mr. Raizada you asked for it. You want to know my pain, my anguish, my loss right. Here you go. For you its always about you. You saw some pervert hugging me and concluded that I am a part of that ugly tryst . And because to save your sister's nonexistent wonderful blissful married life you hatched a plan and made me a scape goat. Did it ever occur to you to come talk to me. And you say that you had fallen in love with me and you love me. When you don't understand the person you love I couldn't call it as love. I would say it's merely an attraction. It will wane out with time. So you don't love me but you are attracted to me. And to serve your purpose you use people around you at your whim. You blackmailed me into marrying you and threatened about my sister. Did it occur to you that if I am sacrificing my life for my sister, how could I even think of ruining your sister's life. And for the past 8 months you have been seeing me for the good part of the day. And did any of my behavior during this period support your idea. My unyielding faithfulness for my family was evident always. So how could even think I will break Anjaliji's home. You made a deal for contract marriage. Have you ever thought what will happen to me after 6 months. You will get on to your life unscathed as you are a man and with power. And when exactly that 6 months was going to end. Middle of night exactly at 12.00. So you would have kicked me out at middle of night to fend myself. And you should give a nice pat on your back for taking revenge against me. You have made me an orphan once again. It is one big achievement for you. Also I was living life like a destitute in your house. Another addition to your revenge report card.

I ask you Mr. Raizada what is the guarantee in life that you wont throw me out if I stay back. If for some reason in future you need my existence is a threat to your Di or someone related to me has done some harm to your Di , I am sure without thinking a second you will kick me out of your life. Any time I can be relegated in your eyes . I will always be walking on a thin ice. For an orphan like me without support to be thrown out of life and house will have irreversible affect Mr.Raizada. So now you tell me how can I give you a third chance. I have been bitten twice and on both accounts you were ruthless. And honestly I don't have energy or will to bounce back the third time. Only option left for me would be to end my life as I wouldn't want to suffer anymore. Anyway nobody wants anything from me. Except my babuji. For others I am as good as being dead. Having said this she felt moist on her hand which was still under Arnav's custody. He turned his face to avoid her gaze and wiped his eyes and took a deep breath. He told her so this is what you think of me. A spineless brute. You can think the worst of me Khushi. But don't you ever call my love as a mere attraction. Don't insult that Khushi. Don't take that wonderful feeling away from me. And only time will tell you what I can do for you and what I feel for you. You will not need anyone in your life other than me to make your world full. Just you and me. I will sure that in this world you will never look for love in any other form. Khushi I get it that it will take time for you to trust me and we need to build the trust. But its going to happen and I will leave no stone unturned to win you back. Its your pressed luck that you always get challenged by me and eventually I will win. He saw her and blinked. Khushi unable to control a smile just turned her face. It was indeed very hard to understand this man. As Karan put it best way to describe him was MY LUNATIC HUSBAND.

They drove in silence for a while until they reached RM lost in their own thoughts. That evening Saxenas paid an unexpected visit to RM. Khushi was in the kitchen and Arnav was in their room. Khushi was very happy to see Tara aunty and could read from Karan's expressions that he was looking for answers about her sudden outburst. Arnav and rest of the Raizada family greeted aunty and Karan. Arnav as usual was not one bit please seeing Karan. Tara aunty said to naniji that she had to seek permission from her for something. She was Khushi's surrogate mother and still is. So since she was not able to attend her wedding and be part of it, she had taken the liberty to get some things to her daughter albeit little late. And if Naniji permitted she could hand it to Khushi. Naniji said since she was Khushi's mother she had every right on Khushi. So Tara aunty asked Karan to get the stuffs. Karan and driver entered with heaps of bags and boxes. Everyone lost count of them. It kept coming in batches. It felt as if the entire boutique had landed in RM. Tara aunty called Khushi and said that if Sarita(Khushi's mom) were to be alive, she would have done the same. Khushi was overwhelmed with emotions to see so many gifts at once. There were dresses, sarees and jewelry. Tara aunty adorned Khushi with a beautiful necklace and asked her if she could see her dressed as a bride. She wanted Khushi to wear a red saree which she had brought and wanted to personally help Khushi tgo dress up. Arnav knew one of the reason behind all this must be because of Khushi's outburst in the afternoon. Since it was Tara aunty who was doing it for Khushi, he didn't want to create any scene. So Khushi took Tara aunty to her bedroom. Khushi hugged aunty and cried inconsolably. Tara aunty helped Khushi drape the red saree and dressed her like a bride. She was looking very beautiful. Aunty said Khushi I am your mother and a woman too. I can read that pain in your eyes. But I am not going to compel you to tell me the reason. I am guessing it must be something between you and Arnav. Every relationship has will go through turbulent times. It is very natural. What matters is to resolve the differences. As times passes the relationship will become stronger and mature. And according to me, Arnav loves you a lot. And from what I have read about him in the news paper , he is tough man to deal with. But he doesn't come across as such when you meet him. There is a little boy in that grownup man who wants to be unleashed. So Khushi for you perseverance is the key in your relationship. He is a nice man and will make you very happy. Don't give up and lose hopes. Just that the storm has hit you both a little soon in your relationship and it will make you bond stronger if nothing else. After the counseling session mother-daughter joined the rest. Khushi got oodles of compliments and she felt as a bride and it was her wedding day. Arnav couldn't take the eyes of his wife and Tara aunty patted on his cheeks and said you made a good choice and take care of my daughter. She is all yours. Karan teased Khushi that she looked old enough to have grandbabies which brought roar of laughter in the room. Finally the Saxenas bid good bye after dinner. When Arnav accompanied Tara aunty to the door, she said change place usually helps in bringing people closer and he could check that option out. Arnav got the hint and thanked her for suggestion.

After couple of days around dinner table Arnav announced that he has to go to Goa tomorrow on a business trip and will be returning after 3 days. And Khushi would be accompanying him. Khushi surprised by the plan said she was better off here in RM and could not like to go. Arnav didn't even bother to answer and just headed to their room and asked her to start packing. Anjali, Payal and Nani convinced her and she had to agree.

One of the attendant of Raizada Guest House opened the door and let Arnav and Khushi 's room, Arnav wanted to capture every moment of Khushi's expression. She saw gasped looking at the picturesque room she entered. The deco and fixtures were classy. The bay window facing the ocean front ended from wall to wall . It lead to a deck and stairs taking directly to ocean. The Raizada guest house had its private beach.The blue water and white sand and the splashes of tides were welcoming Khushi. She closed her eyes and wanted to sink in. Arnav happy with his decision asked Khushi if she liked what she saw. Khushi just nodded. Arnav wanted everything to be perfect. He had asked Payal to talk to the chef of the guest house and give a list of Khushi's favorites. Of course jalebis in every meal. He wanted to stay away from his laptop as much as possible. Minimal phone calls. Every minute of these 3 days he wanted to spend with Khushi. He asked Khushi to freshen up and asked the attendant to inform chef that they would be ready for dinner in about an hour. When Khushi came out, she just matched the ambience of the room. She looked like a flower in her light pink anarkali. Arnav looked at her and said perfect triggering Khushi's dhak dhaks. She thought there was definitely something in air which was making her weak in her knees when ever she looked at Arnav. They had dinner and returned to their room, Arnav had a surprise for Khushi. Salman Khan's latest movie. Khushi enjoyed it thoroughly cried when her hero was in trouble, laughed her heart out for his antics and blushed when he romanced. It was difficult for Arnav to comprehend what Khushi saw in that movie which didn't have anything in it other than beefy hero. He felt jealous at times when hero got Khushi's undivided attention. Since it was a long day, Khushi hit the bed soon. Next day morning when she woke up, her husband hand was very close to her just fraction of an inch away from her and his hand resting on her. She slowly slid his hand away and got up. She couldn't stop herself from kissing on his forehead as he was cuddling himself in that comforter with that serene look. It didn't go unnoticed by Arnav. By the time Arnav woke up Khushi was ready. She was wearing a beige and assorted color salwaar which perfectly suited her. Arnav said he will be there in few minutes.Finally both of them headed for breakfast. When they entered the room after their breakfast, Arnav received a call from Aman on some important deal and Arnav was busy talking. Khushi felt like walking on the beach as she was getting restless inside room. After his phone conversation, Arnav noticed Khushi playing in beach with waves and walking on the sand making foot prints. It was a breathtaking view. He walked towards her and watched her for few minutes. Then he joined her. Both started playing in water , splashing and chasing waves. Arnav scooped her from her waist and lifted her and started playing with waves. They lost balance and fell on side both tumbling. They were so close to each other that each could feel other's breath. And the water was splashing against their body moving them to and away from the shore. Just then Arnav saw a big wave of tide which could devour them so he lifted Khushi and they walked toward the sand. Both were soaking wet and Khushi's salwaar's sheer fabric gave a visual treat for Arnav. Khushi became self-conscious and hurried to their room. She grabbed a dress and went to take a shower to wash off the sand. When she came out she saw Arnav waiting for her. She avoided his gaze as she was caught in the moment and didn't want to risk being caught and just moved away from him. Arnav freshed himself and he saw Khushi looking at the window watching the waves and drying her hair with towel. She was looking like a fresh bloomed flower in that peach dress and he was losing all his senses. He came and stood next to next to her. She stole a glance and was all coy. He knew both were ready to take their relationship to next level. He started kissing her on her nape. When she didn't oppose it, he made her turn to him and started kissing her cheeks which lead to lips and one thing lead to another and nect thing was they were lying on bed. Their body entwined together. Their mind, body and soul in union. Their 8 months of journey together was meant for this. All the pain, all the heartaches, all the distance was culminating in sweet love. The path they treaded was a memorable journey and result was beautiful love. For Khushi , from the time they had reached Goa, her heart longed for his touch. She was not understanding if it was the ambience, or close his proximity with just two of them or her mom's words which was echoing in her head.. she wanted to be his.

Arnav was still caressing her soft skin and feeling her. She was enjoying his protective shield around her. They both wanted this time to freeze. Neither of them wanted to part away from this beautiful dreamlike union. Arnav was the first to break the silence.He said Khushi I have seen a feisty, protective, hardworking, crazy KKG who is daughter of Shashi and Garima Gupta, I have seen a sacrificing, enduring, loving and submissive KASR who is my wife now I want to see bratty and demanding Khushi Verma daughter of Satish and Sarita Verrma. Can you be my princess . Khushi nuzzling his neck said he should be careful what to wish for because she can be very demanding. Arnav kissing her fervently said I am ready Khushi. She had one little BIG secret to tell her husband. That could wait for their last day in Goa and and her husband's reaction would be worth all that money she owned now. But that was a trivial thing when compared to her journey with Arnav ahead. Their journey was meant to be HAPPY EVER AFTER!!!!!

Note: Really would appretiate your comments..Honestly I treasure it.
