If I ask you to go back to when Arnav first kissed Khushi,
If I ask you to go back to when they first made love,
If I ask you to go back to when they first got married,
When they got married again,
would you smile fondly?
When she first crashed into his arms at the hospital,
When he sneaked his palm across her waist beneath her green sari,
When she pulled him into her washroom with her,
When he shifted her face so she could sleep on his shoulder,
(Close your eyes here and fathom that moment!)
When she hesitantly massaged his bare back on the small bed,
When he disentangled her from the fairy lights that evening,
When he took her face and pressed them both closer to the wall on Diwali,
When she ran straight into his arms and knocked the breath out of him where he was held kidnapped,
When he crushed her beneath his body and kissed her senseless in the farmhouse,
When he confessed to her on the phone, 'I love you Khushi,'
Did you cry?
When they landed on the bed in Raizada House and broke it!
When they landed on the bed in the Farmhouse and broke their self-control,
When he held her hand and slept all night,
When she nursed him well and never stole a wink all night,
Did your heart twist painfully in your chest?
When he noticed she was slapped and he hugged her close,
When he stopped Buaji from slapping her and stole her heart in that breath,
When he removed the broken bangle from her wrist and looked up to see her eyes closed shut in pain and pleasure,
When her lips dug deep on the curve of his cheek as she kissed him while he slept,
When she held his hand and clenched his heart and stop him from leaving during Holi,
When his eyes glared in jealousy as her bare back was exposed to NK,
When he stood mesmerized by her in that red sari, and could no longer hide the desire in his eyes,
When he saw her wearing his white shirt and folded the sleeves so sweetly,
When she entangled her legs with his and shifted closer as they slept together,
When he pinched her red nose and made her cheeks go redder...
If I ask you to go back to when Arnav first kissed Khushi,
If I ask you to go back to when they first made love,
If I ask you to go back to when they first got married,
When they got married again,
And then today...
She could win the crown, or simply fry jalebis, and he would love her just so!
He could shout and glare, or kiss her tenderly, and she would love him just so!
This is love, isn't it?
"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and maybe they always will be." -Nicholas Sparks.
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, not be touched. They can only be felt in the heart and locked there forever!
