Roadside Romeo

"Aah...ammaa"

The black Bugatti screeched suddenly.

"Amma" the boy cried.

The door opened and a man in his fifties stepped down, he jerked his Armani suit arrogantly and then glanced at his shimmering shoes and once satisfied with their shine, he looked ahead and moved towards the crying boy.

The boy sniffed and glanced at the man and then at his bleeding knee...

"Can't you see and walk properly. Don't know what type of people live here" he said looking around the place with disgust.

"Come on...now move from here quickly" he yelled at him.

The boy wiped his tears and tried to get up but the pain wasn't helping him much and by the time, everybody gathered there watching the scene.

"Fast" the man yelled making the boy to flinch.

He again tried and was about to fell down once again when a pair of hands quickly held him by his waist.

"What happened?" he asked.

The boy looked at the man and then at his knee, the guy inhaled deeply and looked at the man in fifties angrily making him to smirk.

The guy wiped his tears and smiled at him caressing his knee. The man rolled his eyes and glared at both...

"Open your medical center somewhere else...now move from my way" said he angrily.

"Chalo arnav bhaiya" the boy said seeing the look in arnav's eyes.

"Aey ye aankhon se kya ghoor raha he..." said the man.

"Nothing" replied arnav and got up.

"First you hurt the boy and then you are the one shouting...strange" said arnav crossing his arms.

"Do you even know, to whom you are talking...Nihaal, Nihaal singh Gupta"he said arrogantly.

"The multi-national billionaire" he added.

Arnav just stared at him.

"You are going to be behind the bars with my one action" he said.

"Bhaiya chalo" said the boy holding his hand.

Arnav was about to say something when the door of the car opened again and a girl, came running there.

"Dad" she looked at Nihaal hopelessly..

"You.." she stopped and then looked at boy and her heart pained.

Arnav's breath hitched for a second, he felt the world stop, except the wind blowing. He inhaled deeply as she quickly sat down on her knees near the boy.

"Khushi" he heard her father shouting at her.

But she ignored his father and quickly opened her clutch, she was about to hand some money to the boy when arnav stopped her, and that's when their eyes met, she looked up confusedly at him.

"We don't want your money" said arnav,

Truth to be told, arnav never liked this. No doubt, he wasn't rich as them but he wasn't any beggar too.

And for seconds, he forgot that he was attracted to her at first sight.

"I am not giving you.." she said.

Arnav observed her keenly and could see that she was concerned about the boy.

"Come.." he said to the boy holding him gently and then taking him away.

Khushi stared at his fading figure and sighed when arnav turned and peeked a glance at her sad face.

"What was that?" asked nihaal coming to her angrily.

"Exactly! What was that?" asked khushi turning back to him. "Why do you this dad?" she added.

He scrunched his face, she rolled her eyes and moved from there, sitting back in the car.

***

"Meet Mr. Jha and his son brilliant son, Shyam" said Nihaal introducing them to khushi.

Shyam smiled slyly staring at khushi and extended his hand for a shake as khushi just gave a faint smile. Khushi quickly looked away ignoring as she didn't like the gesture.

"What are you doing? shake hand" Nihaal whispered in her ear and then suppressed a smile at both father-son.

Hesitantly, khushi stretched her hand out.

"Shyam, is really a nice boy, he very brilliantly handles his father's business" he said to khushi and she suppressed a faint smile.

"Why don't you both talk? me and manohar will be back in minutes" said nihaal smiling at khushi.

And before khushi could protest, nihaal left patting her head.

"Come..." khushi sighed and followed shyam.

"I thought, you would join Nihaal's group of companies." said shyam leaning against the counter to which khushi didn't reply him.

"Want some"he said stretching his hand, offering his drink.

"No thanks.."said khushi.

"Come on...kisi cheez ke liye to yes bolo" he said and khushi just smiled.

"Okay come lets dance" he said.

"Nno..i have to go" she said as he offered his hand.

And before he could say anything khushi went away from there leaving him confused.

But then he smirked and sipped the last sip of wine, he had.

"Khushi Gupta"he muttered rolling the glass in his hand and gazed at her fading figure in the crowd.

"One glass of wine" he said to the waiter.

"I will make sure"said Nihaal when khushi came to him and passed a smile to his clients.

"Dad, i am going " she whispered in his ear.

"Why? and where is shyam?" he asked but khushi had already left before fishing the car key from his pocket.

***

"Tu ne, phir se kisi ke saath lafda kya kal?" asked aakash.

Arnav remained quiet, playing with the chain in his hand and stopping near a pani puri shop.

"Apun tere ko kitni dafah samjhaya, in bade logo se lafda nai karne ka par tu...isliye saara log tujhko ghunda samajhta"said aakash.

Arnav rolled his eyes and looked sideways when they captured the same figure.

Khushi smiled as the boy placed a kiss on her cheek and then run away as khushi bought a candy for him.

A faint smile appeared on his face, he looked at her intently and was confused, she doesn't seem that billionaire's daughter at all.

He would have ogled at her, whole night, just if the boy hadn't been hurt badly, she had enticed him before only and that's the reason, he couldn't sleep at night.

"I am telling you..." aakash stopped as he found arnav not listening him and followed his gaze.

Khushi and payal walked on the food street, when her eyes fell on arnav leaning against a table. Khushi breathed heavily as she found him staring directly in her eyes. She quickly looked away bringing the books close to her chest as she felt herself naked under his intense gaze.

Arnav had a faint smirk, as they walked past them and the way khushi peeked at him occasionally.

"It's such a goo..." payal stopped as she found arnav staring at khushi. She scrunched her brows and looked at khushi who was now and then glancing at arnav.

"Hey! why that guy is staring you? Do you know him?" she whispered.

Khushi gulped and glanced at arnav..

"Nnnoo...i don't know him" she stuttered.

"Aise dekh raha he jaise koi purana aashiq ho...Romeo" said payal "No Roadside Romeo" she added and giggled.

But her words didn't hit khushi's ears as she was busy in mirroring arnav. She peeked a last glance at him as they crossed the food street.

"Chotu..chai" he said with a smile when aakash appeared in front of him..

"Who was she?" asked aakash.

"Khushi" he replied with a smile.

"Kya" he exclaimed.

"Love at first sight suna he.." said arnav.

"Are you serious?" asked aakash to which arnav blushed.

"Pagal to nahi hogaya he...achhha chal aja apun tere ko rahman baba ke paas leke chalta, tera ilaaj karega" said aakash.

"I am serious man..." he said.

"Pehle to tujhko kabhi aisa nahi hua" he said..

"Because, i had never fallen in love" said arnav.

"You think, that she was here to see you" said aakash to which he shrugged his shoulders..

"Then why was she here?" he asked.

"When will the car be repaired and did you inform uncle?" asked payal.

"No, i didn't tell him and the car will be ready within three days as mohan said and...achha hi he, we would love to see this nice place" said khushi.

"Hhmm" payal hummed.

"Warna to tumhe dad ka pata he" she said and payal nodded.

"I didn't have a slightest idea, that you would fall in love with someone like this, wow in love with a billionaires daughter" said aakash.

"You will not understand, she is different" he said and then smiled.

***

The next day, payal and khushi walked on the same food street when khushi's eyes started to search out but to her surprise, he was there, right there leaning against the same table.

"Your Juliet" said aakash nudging arnav as he turned back quickly and then a smile played on his lips.

"Hey look, that Romeo is here again and staring at you" said payal with a grin adjusting her glasses.

"Shut up.."khushi gritted and walked beside payal, glancing at him.

"Look, he is coming right here" said payal holding her hand.

Khushi's eyes widened and she gulped.

"Abbay...kahan ja raha he arnav" aakash shouted and followed him.

Khushi stopped, narrowing her eyes and looked at arnav as he stood right in front for her. He scanned her body keenly.

Slender legs, thin waist, fair skin, brown hair, hazel eyes, sharp nose, and luscious lips *Perfect*

"Hi" he said..

Khushi scrunched her brows.

"I want to tell you something" said arnav to which she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Apun ko tere se pyaar ho gaya he" said arnav.

Aakash smacked his own head and stared at him, khushi's eyes widened while payal gaped at khushi and him and then giggled.

"I hadn't been able to sleep peacefully, from the time, i saw you" he said with full honesty.

"Told you" payal whispered and khushi glared at him.

"Pagal ho gaye ho, dimaagh kharaab ho gaya he kya" said khushi not able to register his words.

"Yup, the time, i have seen you" he replied with a smile..

"Have you even seen your face?" said khushi angrily not able to bear that cool attitude of his.

"Waise, he is actually really handsome.." payal whispered to which she again received a glare and a warning.

"Am i that bad?" asked arnav.

No doubt, khushi agreed with payal's remarks, he was handsome but khushi wasn't ready to believe it.

Khushi glared at him and tried to go but arnav came in front of her blocking her way.

"You didn't answer me" said arnav.

"Dad was right about you" said khushi..

"Oh, yes...don't forget to pay my regards to him" said arnav with a wink.

Khushi gaped while payal was trying best to control her giggles.

"Are you mad?" said khushi.

"I really love you khushi" he said getting serious and inching closer.

For a second, khushi was lost in those brown orbs but she quickly looked away. She felt so strange hearing her name from his mouth, or maybe he pronounced it a bit differently...a bit huskily.

Khushi held payal's hand, and went from there. Arnav turned back and stared at her fading figure when khushi looked back to glance at him.

"You are really stupid" said aakash.

"Is this the way to confess a love...?" said aakash..

"What was wrong in it?" asked arnav following him.

***

"Didn't i tell you? ye to sach main Romeo nikla" said payal as khushi fell on the bed with a thud.

"Romeo nahi pagal.." said khushi.

"No my dear, Romeo...aww that was so cute when he came and confessed his love...he is so straight forward, a unique proposal" said payal.

"Just shut up yaar" said khushi sitting up straight and throwing a cushion at her which she caught in time.

"But..." said payal but was cut off.

"Can we study?" said khushi moving towards the table.

"Okay...but just think about him..."she stopped as khushi glared at her.

Khushi shut payal's mouth but she failed to put "the end" to her own thoughts regarding arnav.

***

A week passed and it continued like this, arnav would ask for her reply but she would ignore him, payal was amused by khushi...their car was repaired but still she preferred of walking making a stupidest excuse, that " I want to take some fresh air".

But payal was happy, khushi would start talking about arnav out of the blue and she could see that eagerness in her.

And that red tinge on her cheeks.

Arnav was standing near the stalls waiting for khushi when a group of boys called him, he sighed and again looked for khushi and when she didn't appear, he ran towards those kids.

Aakash was standing right there adjusting her hair, when he found payal and khushi coming.

"Arnav.." he called out and turned back to find him far away with kids.

Khushi got confuse as she didn't find arnav with aakash, she looked around but wasn't able to find him which made her a bit restless.

Payal noticed her looking around and smiled.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Nothing...no...i mean ke..i mean nothing" said khushi.

"Oh..." she exclaimed "Arey that roadside Romeo is not here today" said payal.

"Yeah.." muttered khushi looking down.

"But his friend is here" said payal.

Khushi looked at aakash and sighed.

"Come lets ask him" said payal...

"You go and ask, i am here only" said khushi to which payal narrowed her eyes..

"what?" said khushi.

Payal shook her head and moved towards aakash.

"Hey.." payal waved her hand in front of him.

He blinked his eyes and looked at payal.

"Mm...where is that roadside Romeo?" asked payal.

"Arnav.." he said..

"Yeah...but first tell me, why that Romeo is...you know bad boy type...you know what i mean.." said payal.

"No no...hamara arnav aisa nahi, he is actually a very nice man, but you know he lives like that and then everyone says that..." he stopped, losing himself as payal ever so slowly tucked her hair behind her ear.

Khushi looked around again and again and felt restless. Usually he is here...

"Searching for me" she heard a voice and her eyes widened but then she looked down after knowing the owner of the voice.

Arnav smiled and stood right behind her. Khushi turned back slowly and found him an inch far from her and gulped.

"I wasn't looking for you" said khushi stepping a step back.

"Really" he whispered and inched forward widening her orbs.

"Dekho...aage mat bado" said khushi lifting her index finger and moving back as he continued to move forward.

"Kyun kya kar logi tum?" he said with a smirk.

Khushi hit a pillar and got scare as arnav leaned closer.

"Main bohat kuchh kar sakti hoon" she said.

"Like" the said..

"See..i know taekwondo" she said.

Arnav chuckled and looked sideways but turned to her and looked at her intently making her legs jelly.

"Dekho..."

"Sshh.."

He placed his hand on the pillar above her head and looked at her.

"I will not do anything...just tell me what were you doing here?" he asked.

Khushi gulped and looked at him with round eyes.

Arnav lifted his brow for an answer.

"I wasn't here for you.." said khushi gaining some courage.

"Achha.." he crossed his arms, "Then why do you cross this street only, when you know i am here, there is a shortcut too, why don't you use that" he said making her speechless.

She gulped and looked away.

"Answer" he said..

"I don't need to answer to any of your question" she said angrily pushing him away.

"Payal..." she yelled.

Payal turned back and waved at khushi..

"When are you going to confess your love?" arnav whispered in her ear from behind.

Khushi shivered and moved away.

"What love and which love?" said khushi.

"That love which i can see in your eyes for me..." he said intensely.

Khushi looked away as arnav stared directly in her eyes. She gulped, not wanting to know any of her secret.

"****.." she said.

He smiled and shook his head when payal came.

"Lo...tum yahaan ho or khushi tumhe har jaga dhoond rahi thi" said payal.

Khushi looked at payal angrily who gave an innocent smile. Arnav smirked and glancing at payal, looked at khushi.

She twisted her lips and went from there with payal after her.

***

"Shyam is a nice boy...isn't" said Nihaal on the breakfast table.

"Maybe.." said khushi after a pause looking at payal.

"What do you mean by maybe...of course, he is a nice guy" said Nihaal.

"Whatever" muttered khushi.

"I really want a son-in-law like him" said Nihaal looking at khushi.

Khushi stopped sipping water and looked at Nihaal.

"Yeah..he will look good with payal." said khushi and winked at payal who smacked her head.

"Good joke..." said Nihaal.

"Good Joke...exactly." said khushi.

"Really, i really want a son-in-law like him, i mean he is so responsible...or what do you want? a husband like the man, we met on that food street" said Nihaal shaking his head.

Khushi looked at payal and then down at her plate as arnav's face flashed in her mind.

"Well, he was better than shyam" said khushi and payal raised her brows with a smile.

Nihaal stopped and gave her a look.

"Okay bye, dad...i am getting late" she got up and kissing his cheeks, left.

"Hey wait for me" shouted payal getting up..

"Payal.." Nihaal called him.

"You both go by car...right" asked he..

"Yeah...uncle.." said payal gulping..

***

Arnav smiled as khushi appeared in a pink knee length dress, but then his smile vanished as he observed a group of people ogling at her.

"Aey patli kamar" he heard the group whistling and shouting.

Khushi rolled her eyes and kept walking ahead ignoring them. He clenched his fists and moved towards khushi angrily.

"Don't worry...dad will not get to know" said khushi assuring payal when arnav came in front of her with a serious look.

Khushi narrowed her eyes confusedly.

"Why have you worn this dress?" asked arnav gritting.

"Excuse me.." said khushi.

"You are not excused. What was the need of wearing this" he said inching closer.

"What's your problem?" asked khushi a bit angrily.

"Do you even know, what's going on behind your back?...You don't know" he said angrily.

"I don't want to know even...let them say what they want, ignore them" said khushi.

"No...Dammit, i can't ignore this." khushi flinched as arnav shouted at her.

She got scared as it was the first time, she saw arnav like this.

"Romeo..." payal tried to say but seeing his anger, she shut her mouth.

Khushi gulped and gained some courage, she was angry at him, how dare he to shout at her in front of everyone.

"How dare you? Who are you? I don't need your lectures" khushi shouted at him..

"Who am i ?...who" he said angrily but then closed his eyes.

Khushi moved back and cursed herself for shouting at him, as she found his muscles tightening.

Arnav opened his eyes and then moved ahead towards the group.

"Arnav..." whispered aakash and followed him..

First khushi was confused but then her eyes widened as arnav beat the group badly. Khushi quickly ran towards him followed by aakash..

"Arnav.." aakash tried to free the boys from his grip.

"Arnav leave them...have you gone mad?" khushi shouted.

Aakash tried to pull him but instead of it, he was pushed back by arnav. Khushi looked at aakash and then moved towards arnav, he was about to hit a guy when she quickly held his wrist.

"Leave them..." her voice was shaky.

Arnav stopped and looked at khushi who had her eyes moistened.

He moved towards aakash and stretched his hand out for him.

"Bada **** he tu.." said aakash shaking his head as payal helped her to get up.

"Tum pagal ho kya...you would have killed them..." yelled khushi at him.

"Yes...i will kill them" shouted arnav.

Khushi became quiet and just stared at him..

"You..""khushi tried to say but was cut off by him..

"I don't want to talk to you right now." said arnav angrily.

"You don't want to talk to me" said khushi.

Arnav didn't answer her and left from there..

Her eyes welled up as she stared at his fading figure..

"Khushi.." payal placed her hand on her shoulders.

"Khushi...don't worry, he usually doesn't get angry and..."he couldn't complete and khushi ran away from there..

***

"Come on khushi...now cheer up" said payal.

Khushi remained silent as she lay on the bed.

"Khushi..." said payal standing in front of her.

"Payal, can i stay in my room alone?" she asked calmly.

"Fine...but come down soon. Otherwise" she lifted her index finger and khushi looked away.

As payal left, a lone tear escaped her eye which she quickly wiped it..

"Why should i lose my precious pearls for him? i will also not talk too him.." muttered khushi angrily when her phone beeped again.

Khushi switched off her cell, as it was the fifteenth call from shyam.

She tossed other side when the door clicked open and nihaal came inside.

"What happened khushi?" asked Nihaal.

Khushi remained silent.

"Shyam is calling you since evening, he just called me now asking for you...he is so worried for you beta.." but he was cut off by khushi.

"No, he is not worried for me, no one is worried for me...except him" muttered khushi at last.

"But dear..." he was cut off again.

"Dad, please leave me alone" she requested..

"But khushi, what's the matter?" he asked..

"Dad, please..." she said again.

Nihaal sighed and left closing the door.

Khushi hid her face in cushion and cried..

Part2

Khushi opened her cupboard and looked at her dresses keenly as Payal stared at her with wide eyes.

"You are in love with romeo" it was a question.

Khushi looked at her and glared.

"As your wish?" said payal. "I'm waiting down" she said and went out while khushi again stared at her dresses.

Arnav stood there leaning against the table, playing twisting the chain around his finger sadly.

"Hamesha se yahi karta aaya he tu...pehle us ko daant diya or ab khud par ghussa ho" said aakash shaking his head..

"I shouldn't have shouted at her like this, of course, i am no one to her." said arnav.

"Yaar don't say like this, really think that she likes you" said aakash and arnav looked at her with raised brows..

"Yeah, it's obvious, just think whenever you go to her, she blushes, didn't you notice and if she doesn't like you, then she must have told about you to her father but she didn't..." said aakash.

Arnav looked down lost in thoughts. Maybe aakash was right, maybe she have started to like him.

"You know she was very sad, she didn't even have her dinner." informed aakash.

"Whaat.."exclaimed arnav but then looked at him suspiciously.

"How. did. you know?" he asked and aakash quickly looked away..

"Aey chotu..chai la na" said aakash moving away from him.

Arnav looked at him for sometimes and then looked front when khushi appeared with payal and he almost forgot to breath.

A smile crept on his lips as he watched her from head to toe, he couldn't believe, did his word really affected her.

From tight jeans to churidaar, tight shirt to long frock and from muffler to dupatta, she looked extremely beautiful and her open hair enhanced her beauty more!!

Khushi held the book close to her chest and threw a glance at arnav's direction, she felt her breath ragged.

Was she really looking beautiful? But when she had come in front of payal, she started laughing at her.

Khushi down casted her eyes as she felt so different under arnav's gaze. Khushi stopped in her track as she felt arnav moving taking steps towards her.

She turned to him as he was just steps far when a gush of wind blew, flying her dupatta in air, she tried to catch it but in the process, her books fell down. She looked down at her fallen books and then looked front to remain quiet as her dupatta had engulfed arnav in it...

Khushi swallowed and blinked in a slow pace, keeping her hands on chest and staring at arnav, as he stared at her through her red dupatta and then slowly took it off his face!!

Khushi looked down, averting her gaze as arnav inched forward and stretched his hand to return the dupatta.

Khushi glanced at him and then at her dupatta and took it immediately, adjusting it in her neck recklessly.

Arnav looked at her keenly and then down to find her books there. He knelt and started to pick her books when another hand appeared. Arnav turned his head sideways to find khushi picking her books. Khushi looked at the book in arnav's hand and then at him.

She looked away and then taking the book from his hand, she stood up.

Arnav sighed and stood up too.

Sorry time...

Khushi tucked her hair behind her ear when she noticed arnav ogling at her, she glared at him and held her books properly..

"Khushi..." he called her and she gave a look to him..

He was about to complete his sentence when there comes a running aakash, panting badly.

"Wo..." aakash panted and khushi scrnched her brows..

"Your friend didn't come..."he asked and khushi raised her brows..

"Do you see her?"asked arnav to which he shook his head..

"Then.."arnav gritted as he was irritated by him.

"She must be coming" said khushi glancing at arnav..

"Okay..you..you both talk, i am going" said aakash scratching the back of his neck.

"Thanks a lot..bye" said arnav and he left.

Khushi glared at arnav and then turned to go..

"Wait, where are you going?" asked arnav following her.

But khushi ignored him and kept walking while arnav kept following her.

"Khushi, i'm talking to you dammit" he said angrily.

Khushi got frightened a bit, but maintaining herself...she didn't stop and that's when arnav's anger rose, and he held her wrist and pulled her, pinning to the wall of a nearby vacant alley.

"I am talking to you" he gritted angrily an inch away from her.

Khushi got scared and gulped due to the close proximity, she could even feel his breath on her face as he looked at her with fury.

Her hands were pinned to wall above her head, her books had fallen down. Arnav loosened his grip as he saw her eyes getting moistened.

He can never want to scare her or hurt her. He quickly left her wrists and stepped a step back. Khushi inhaled deeply and looked at him angrily..

"Khushi look.."he couldn't complete his sentence as khushi tried to leave again.

Arnav got angry and pulled her back, pinning her hands above her head to the wall again.

" How many times? When i am talking, don't walk away" he gritted angrily.

Khushi narrowed her eyes and then pushed him back.

"What's your problem? You were the only one, who didn't want talk to me then now what...when i don't want to talk to you" khushi yelled at him..

"No khushi, it's nothing like that"...listen me.."

"No You listen Mr. Arnav...Romeo or whatever, you can't order me...Okay, i am not your servant and you cannot shout at me" she yelled stepping closer to him and it was arnav's turn to be pinned by the wall.

"And you can shout.." said arnav.

"Yes..i can shout...i can shout because...because you hurt me...you.." shouted khushi and turned around as her eyes glistened and her voice shook.

Arnav closed his eyes in guilt and clenched his fists, he never wanted to hurt her..

"Khushi...please listen me"he said standing close to her.

Khushi remained quiet.

"I never wanted to hurt you, i just..i just couldn't control myself, when that **** were ogling at you, i couldn't stand...i am sorry, i don't know what happens to me when i am angry...uh..i am really sorry" he said looking down.

Khushi's features softened as her heart melted hearing him, how much he loves her.

"I think, my words really affected you a lot that's why.."said arnav but stopped.

"No, i haven't wear it because of you okay" she said turning around towards him.

Arnav raised his brow.

"Are you sure?" he asked with a faint smile.

Khushi narrowed her eyes and gulped, maybe he caught her.

"Yes.."she replied..

"But i don't think so.." said arnav coming closer.

"Then go and treat your brain somewhere" said khushi.

"You are my Doctor" he said with a flirtatiously with a smile.

Khushi glared at him and turned around when he held her wrist yet again.

"You haven't answer me yet" he said as khushi turned back with scrunched brows.

"What?" she said angrily and tried to free her hand simultaneously.

"Do you love me?" he asked and her eyes widened slightly.

"Leave my hand" said khushi wriggling..

"Frst answer me" he said..

"I am not interested in asking any of your question. Do you understand, now leave my hand" said khushi.

"Nope..." he said gripping her hand more..

Khushi looked at him angrily, when he pulled her and pinned her to the

wall.

"Chalo...bhaag ke shaadi karte hain" he said.

"Pagal ho chuke ho" said khushi.

"Honeymoon pe kahaan jaogi or bachon ka kya naam rakhien" said arnav.

"You are totally mad.."said khushi.

"Wo to main hoon...tumhaare pyaar main.." he said getting intense and brought his lips closer to hers.

Khushi breathed heavily and glanced at his lips and then at him while arnav enjoyed her nervousness...

"Dekho.."

"Sshh"he brought his hands near her shoulders while khushi shivered.

Khushi thought he would hold her by shoulders but instead of it, his went down, fishing something out of his pocket.

Khushi's eyes widened when arnav took out a mangalsutra waving in front of her eyes. Khushi gulped and looked at him with horror filled eyes.

"Have you gone ...mmad?" said khushi getting scared..

"Yes..i have really gone mad...and now i am going to tie it around your neck, then you will considered as my wife forever"he said.

"Dekho...please let me..."

"Sshh.." he brought his finger near her lips.

"You have to marry me" he said.

"I will not marry you"said khushi gaining some courage..

"Really" he raised his brows and she gulped.

"Shaadi to mujhse karni padegi...you don't have any other option" he said.

"You can't force me" said khushi.

"Of course i can, uthake le jaunga tumhe" he said getting dangerously close.

Khushi swallowed as he placed his one hand on the wall. He smirked and then brought the chain near her to tie it around her neck.

Khushi looked at the mangalsutra and then at him with eyes... Khushi got angry and raised her hand which was then caught by arnav.

He smiled as khushi fisted her hand and tried to free it from his grasp.

"Leave my hand" she said..

"I haven't held this hand to leave it...hamesha pakad ke rahunga" he said.

Khushi's features softened and she stared at arnav with overwhelmed feelings.

"You thought that i will tie it around your neck.." he said and khushi just looked at him..

"Aise nahi...i will surely tie it around your neck but not like this, i will tie it when you will totally mine...just mine" he said in a serious tone and khushi felt herself melting in his orbs.

He smiled and then bringing his fist closer to his lips, he kissed her there, khushi's eyes widened.

She felt a strange sensation in her body, as his lips caressed her fist. Khushi breathed heavily and pulled her hand back immediately while he just smiled.

Her chest heaved. She gulped and went away from there running when arnav called her..

"Khushi.."

"Your books.." he said and khushi turned around.

Glancing at her books, she moved towards him as he handed her the books and in the process, brushed his hand with her deliberately making her shiver.

Khushi looked at him as he smiled at her.

"I want my answer soon..i can't wait, warna uthake le jaunga or zabardasti shaadi karlunga" he said.

Khushi looked at him and then taking the books from his hand, she again ran when she collided with payal.

"Where were you?" asked payal.

Khushi didn't answer her and held her hand to drag her, payal made a confused face and glanced back to find arnav there.

"Hey Roadside Romeo" she shouted and waved her hand.

Arnav smiled and waved his hand.

"Ouch.." payal exclaimed as khushi hit her on her arm.

Khushi turned her head back and throwing a glance at him, she dragged with payal with her, while arnav remained smiling there.

Khushi inhaled deeply as the cold wind caressed her face, she stood in her balcony, her eyes closed, arms folded with a smile adorning her lips.

"You are mad"

"Wo to main hoon...tumhaare pyaar main"

Khushi opened her eyes as a blush crept on her cheeks, she looked at her fist and caressed it as she smiled shyly. She flung her arms in the air and twirled cheerfully.

Kuchh Kuchh ho raha he..

She sat in her swing and swung lightly.

"Arnav...No...Romeo, Roadside Romeo" said khushi with a smile and closed her eyes.

"Khushi.." Khushi opened her eyes immediately as she heard a hoarse voice calling her name out..

"You..what are you doing here and when you came?" asked khushi getting up immediately.

"Wo...i was just passing from here, so i thought to meet you, you didn't even received my calls, Is everything fine?" asked shyam coming towards her.

"Yeah everything is fine" said khushi.

"Thank God, i was so tensed for you." he said and then gazed at her from top to bottom.

Khushi rolled her eyes and then sat back on her swing..

"Dad must in the study room" she said.

"Oh..i am here to meet you" said shyam. "Hey can i sit here" he said pointing to the space beside her.

"Sure" replied khushi with an irritation.

"So..how is life?" he asked.

"Good" she gave a faint smile.

"Your hands are so beautiful.."he said out of the blue and held her hand caressing them.

Khushi narrowed her eyes and pulled her hand back.

"Thanks..." she muttered.

He smiled and stared at her that's when Nihaal came there.

"Oh, you both are here" said Nihaal and stared at them fondly..

"I have to.."khushi was about to get up when Nihaal stopped her.

"Hey, stay there...you both look so good" said Nihaal to which khushi scrunched her eyes angrily.

Shyam smirked with a fake blush when payal came there..khushi made a face at payal as she stood behind Nihaal.

Payal hid her giggle and came front.

"Hey shyam!!" said payal.

"Hey payal.." replied shyam..

"Uh..Khushi, can you please come with me.." said payal.

"Yeah yeah i am coming" khushi stood up immediately.

"Where?" asked Nihaal.

"My room" said payal and dragged khushi from there leaving an annoyed shyam..

"Uff..he just ate my mind...he is so sticky" said khushi with a grimace.

"Why?..he is handsome," said payal throwing the finished apple in the bin.

"Arghh..no way, i just hate him.." said khushi..

"Okay...tell me...shyam or roadside romeo" said payal sitting opposite to her.

"His name is arnav" said khushi.

"But he is your roadside romeo too" said payal.

"Whatever.."said khushi..

"Okay tell na..shyam or romeo..." asked payal.

"Romeo.." said khushi.

"Why?" asked payal.

"Because that shyam is too irritating" said khushi..

"That romeo is also irritating" said payal raising her brows..

Khushi quietened suddenly, payal was right, both are after her but she never felt arnav, irritating, beside, she feels so good.

"You hate romeo right" said payal taking another apple.

"I..i..don't hate him..it's not good to hate anyone" reasoned khushi.

"But you hate shyam" she said..

"Arghh..payal don't irritate me okay.." she said getting up angrily and snatching the apple from her hand, she went out.

Payal twisted her lips but then smiled mischievously.

***

Arnav sat sadly on the chair when aakash came there"and raised his brows.

"Sunday" he replied.

"Oh.." exclaimed aakash..

"There is a good news for u" said aakash.

"I don't want to know"said arnav.

"It's khushi's birthday today" he said and then winked at arnav as he looked up at him..

"Are you serious?" asked arnav..

"Yeah man..Paya informed me" aakash looked at arnav and quickly turned on his heels.

"Aakash ke bache.." said arnav and fisted on his hand..

"You are thinking wrong" said aakash "She is just my good friend" said aakash.

"Really" arnav raised his brow.

"Obviously man" said aakash...

Arnav looked at him for some time and the stood on the table, stretching his arms with a smile. Aakash looked at him and shook his head as he jumped down and sprinted from their.

"I wish it was monday today" said khushi sitting sadly.

"Why?" asked payal.

"Because..." she stopped suddenly as payal looked at her curiously.

"I would have celebrated my birthday in college" said khushi..

"But pura college to yahaan aagaya" she said making a face..

"Yeah" she prolonged her word "But i didn't enjoy much" said khushi.

"Khushi ki bachi, i know everything..i know why didn't you enjoy it.."said payal getting up and moving towards the fridge.

"Not because of arnav okay.." she said to her..

"When i took romeo's name?" she said fetching a water bottle from the refrigerator.

Payal was finishing the contents in the water bottle when, the bottle fell down from her hand. Khushi turned back to find a stone there..

"Who threw this?" asked khushi getting up.

"They came.."muttered payal excitedly.

"Hahn"khushi looked at her confusedly.

"I said, i don't know...let me check out.." said payal.

"But..." she couldn't complete as payal sprinted down.

Khushi twisted her lips angrily and picked the stone in her hand.

"Who the hell did this?"muttered khushi and entered in her balcony, she was about to throw the stone down, when arnav jumped inside almost killing khushi with fear.

Khushi's jaw dropped as arnav jerked his clothes and then looked at khushi.

"What are you.." she almost shouted..

"Sshh"

"What are you doing here?"whispered khushi getting tensed.

"I came here for you"he said very coolly.

"What? are you made? what if someone saw you?" said khushi angrily.

"So...apun kisi se darta thodi na he, tere liye aya he" said arnav with a wink and khushi gasped..

"Abhi ke abhi neeche jaao" said khushi smacking on his chest.

Arnav smiled at her gesture and the kept staring at her.

"What are you looking at? Go down.." said khushi.

Arnav smiled even more and then moved closer to her..

"Ye kya kar rahe ho tum" said khushi moving back.

Arnav just blinked fervently and kept inching forward until khushi hit the wall...He placed his hands on the wall caging her and then leaned forward.

"Dekho romeo...mera matlab arnav main.."she was cut off by him..

"I have brought something for you" said arnav with a smile.

Khushi scrunched her brows and looked at him questioningly.

Arnav smiled and then fished out a box from his pocket, khushi looked at him quizzically until, he opened the box and took out a diamond pendant.

Khushi's eyes widened and she gasped seeing the shimmer.

"I know, it's not good as the other gifts...but still.."he smiled and then closing the box, handed to khushi who just stared at him without any emotion.

"Happy Birthday khushi" he said with a smile.

Khushi's eyes almost welled up, but she didn't show up and quickly looked down, her heart melted.

She swallowed her lump and looked up at him..

"But"

"Sshh" he cut her off.

He leaned forward while khushi's heart beat went erratic. Khushi closed her eyes tightly as his lips touched her cheeks soundly.

Arnav stepped back and then smiled at her as khushi opened her eyes lazily.

"Will see you tomorrow" he grinned and then in the next second, he jumped down of the balcony, khushi quickly went forward and stood near the railing looking at him.

Arnav turned around and blowing a flying kiss, he disappeared in the darkness.

Khushi quickly catched the kiss unknown to him and placed her hand near her heart. She wiped her lone tear and then opened the box.

She smiled and then went inside her room. Taking the diamond pendant out of the box, she tied it quickly around her look and then looked at herself with different angles wearing that pendant.

She touched the diamond and then twirled smilingly.

Something is happening with her. She was in love and now she didn't need to time to realize it..

"I Love You too" whispered khushi when payal came inside.

"Where were you payal, you know just now.." khushi talked excitedly but it vanished as she found shyam standing behind her with a bouquet.

Payal rolled her eyes and then left leaving them alone.

"Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday too you.."Shyam sang the birthday song with a smile and came towards her.

"A beautiful bouquet for a beautiful lady" he said kneeling on his knees.

Khushi smiled faintly and took the bouquet from his hand muttering a "Thank You".

"Happy Birthday" he said.

Khushi put the bouquet on the table and sat on bed.

"Really sorry, i couldn't make up to the party" he apologized.

"That's fine" said khushi.

"That's actually sweet of you...well i bought a really nice gift for you" said shyam and took out a box..

"How is this?" he asked showing her a diamond pendant but it had more diamonds than the one which she was wearing.

"It's about 50, 000 $ but i bought it just for you.." he said and khushi looked away...

"Please wear it.." he said..

"Sure you keep it.." she said.

"You should take out the pendant you are wearing, the one which i bought will suit you more.." said shyam..

Khushi looked at her pendant and then at shyam.

"No, i can't it's very special to me.." said khushi.

"But.."

"Shyam can you please leave me alone for sometime...i have some work, i will be glad"she said cutting him off.

"Okay, yeah sure..." said shyam and flashing a smile he left from there..

Khushi breathed a sigh and then kept away the box given by shyam and then again looked at herself in the mirror...

***

"Payal tell na..which one will suit me?" asked khushi.

"Everything suits you..." said payal.

"Na...tell me, yellow or red..i think red but you know pink also suits me" said khushi checking dresses one after another.

"Khushi, what's wrong with you...is something special in college today or..."she lifted her brows..

"Just tell me if you don't want to help me.." said khushi angrily.

"Okay fine..try the red one.." said payal.

Khushi smiled and picking the red frock and churidaar, she dashed inside the bathroom.

***

Arnav's breath hitched as khushi appeared in a red frock with a churidaar looking ravishing. Khushi tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at arnav.

Arnav closed his eyes, leaving himself to fell down when aakash caught him quickly. Khushi watched this and chuckled.

"Kya kar raha he yaar?" said aakash when his gaze fell on payal.

Arnav pushed back aakash gently and started to move towards khushi. Payal looked at lost couples and did them bye bye..

Arnav stood right in front of khushi looking at her with drugged eyes when his gaze fell on the pendant she wore, and his fluttered with happiness.

"I am happy.."he said looking at the pendant..

"It's not the one you bought.." said khushi hiding the pendant..

"Really.." he asked.

"Yeah.."said khushi.

"You can't make excuses" he chuckled and moving around her, he stood just behind her.

Khushi looked down feeling her heart beats erratic. She stepped forward when she was pulled back by arnav, as he twirled her dupatta around his hand.

Her eyes widened as she crashed so close to him, their lips were inches away.

"What are..." khushi couldn't complete her sentence as arnav pulled her to the same vacant alley and pinned her to the wall.

"Aaj tum jhoot nahi bol sakti...by wearing this pendant, you have..." but khushi cut him off..

"No need of taking wrong meanings, it's not the way you think.." she said.

"Achha.." he said coming very close to her and placing his hand on the wall, caging her.

Khushi breathed heavily as his hands lifted and caressed her face.

Khushi turned her face away immediately and closed her eyes.

Arnav brushed their noses closing the gap when khushi pushed him back..

"Main aisi waisi ladki nahi hoon" said khushi raising her brows.

"Par main aisa waisa ladka hi hoon" said arnav and smiled.

Khushi shook her head and turned to leave when arnav called her..

"Suno.."he said.

Khushi stopped and turned her head..

"Kya he?" said khushi..

"When will i get my answer?" he asked.

"Meri marzi...kabhi bhi jawab doon" said khushi mischievously.

"Really phir main uthake le jaunga tumhe" he said..

"Lets see" she flashed a smile and ran away from there.

Arnav smiled too and scratched the back of his hair.

But unknown to them, someone is going to end their Love Story before it will begin.

"Driver...Ghar Chalo" and the black bugatti zoomed off.

***

"Stop both of you..." he said.

Khushi and payal stopped and looked at Nihaal confusedly..

"From where are you coming both..?" asked Nihaal.

"College" replied Khushi.

"Don't .lie" he said.

"What happened Uncle?" asked payal..

"Asking me great...did she think before involving with that characterless boy...did she ask me?" he yelled at them all of the sudden.

Khushi flinched.

"Which guy..."payal stopped as she understood everything.

They both looked at each other and then at Nihaal.

"Why did you this Khushi,? What was the need? How dare you?" Nihaal shouted and khushi remained silent.

"Answer me khushi, i am asking something?" he said.

But khushi remained silent.

"How will you answer? You can't...Achha hua ke mujhe pata chal gaya, warna pata nahi kya ho jata" said Nihaal.

"Dad.."But Khushi was cut off..

"Not a word.." said Nihaal lifting his index..

"I have fixed your engagement with Shyam and no college from tomorrow" He announced firmly.

"What? No...you can't do this to me dad" said khushi angrily.

"I can do this because i am your father" said Nihaal angrily.

"No, i won't marry him.." yelled khushi.

"You will..why did you do this? you had everything, i loved you so much and you...this is what i got from you.." said Nihaal.

"Wrong..you never loved me...you never loved me Dad, you loved just your money, and still you love your money that's why you can't see anything, you had always treated me as a load, if you have ever loved me, you haven't sent me far away from you, after mom's death" said khushi, her eyes filled with tears.

"Khushi..please slow down" said payal holding her by her shoulders.

"You keep quiet payal, i didn't expected this much from u...you didn't stop her Why?" asked Nihaal angrily.

"Uncle..try to understand" but she was cut off.

"No.." he said..

"You are getting engaged with shyam and after an year, marriage" he said and khushi just stared at him holding the railing..

"And about that roadside guy..i will not leave, he has messed up with Nihaal Singh"

"No...you are not going to do anything to him Dad" said khushi,

"Shut up..he needs to be punished very badly." said Nihaal.

"No dad..he is not at fault dad, he did nothing" khushi pleaded, tears streaming down her cheeks but Nihaal shook his head negatively.

"I promise, i won't meet him again and i will marry shyam too but don't do anything to him" pleaded khushi.

"Khushi" payal looked at her angrily.

"Promise" he raised his brows.

"Promise" said khushi.

Nihaal shook his head and then went from there..

Payal looked at khushi and stomping her foot, she left too...Khushi wiped her tears and looked at the pendant...

***

"They must be coming..." said aakash..

"Why don't you call payal? you have many contacts with her?" said arnav teasingly.

"I called her but she didn't pick my call" said aakash confusedly..

"Oh there she is.." said aakash as payal came towards them.

"But where is Khushi..?" muttered arnav.

"Where is Khushi?" asked arnav.

"She will not come here now" said payal.

"What" exclaimed arnav.

"Yeah Uncle has fixed her engagement with Shyam, his friend's son and he got to know about you too" said payal..

"He can't do this...I Love Khushi" said arnav.

"Is it so then prove your Love. Take khushi away with you" said payal and glancing at aakash, she left.

Arnav clenched his fists in anger and shook his head..

"Arnav.." shouted aakash and followed arnav as he left from their angrily.

*

**

"Just tell me, Do you Love me or not...i'll go from here" said arnav, his eyes moistening.

"Arnav please go.." said khushi pushing him back, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Tell me...do you love me or not" arnav yelled at her making her flinch and pushed her to the tree..

Dangerously close to her..

"I don't love you" she said..

***

Part3

"Utha ke le jaaunga tumhe"

"I really Love You"

"Apun ko tere se pyaar ho gaya ho..."

Khushi flipped other side angrily.

"I have fixed your engagement with Shyam and no college from tomorrow"

"And about that roadside guy..i will not leave him"

"I promise, i won't meet him again"

Khushi sniffed as a tear rolled down her cheeks which she quickly wiped away when payal barged inside.

Khushi got up sitting straight and looked at her confusedly.

"What happened?" asked khushi as she found her breathing heavily.

"Arnav.." she said between her deep breaths.

"What...he is down in lawn" she said "He wants to meet you" added payal.

"What? but...but it's too late and...and why didn't you stop him, what if someone saw him...dad will not leave him.." said khushi worriedly.

"Khushi just go and meet him once...he is really tensed, just go and know, what he wants to tell at least" said payal totally irritated.

"But.." khushi spoke.

Payal smacked her head and then grabbing a shawl from the nearby chair, she threw it in her direction.

"Come" said payal.

Payal and khushi climbed the stairs with light steps, khushi had totally covered herself with a shawl.

Payal was about to twist the knob of the door when they heard a voice.

"Who's there?" came Nihaal's voice.

Khushi gulped and their eyes widened.

Nihaal quickly switched on the lights and got confuse as he found no one around, he roamed his eyes around and then shaking his head, he switched the lights off again and moved towards his bedroom.

Khushi breathed a sigh as she found the door of his room getting closed. Payal held khushi's hand and then dragged her out in the Lawn.

Arnav paced restlessly near the tree when he heard a tinkling sound, his gaze lifted up finding khushi, standing there staring at him.

"Khushi.." he whispered.

Khushi gulped and tried her level best to control her tears, arnav stood their with a faintest smile as khushi moved towards him with slow steps and then she was standing right in front of him.

"I missed you so much.." he said with a smile.

Khushi looked at him and then down.

"Why are you here?" she stated firmly.

She never want to lose herself in front of him.

Arnav's smile faded and he became serious.

"You are marrying Shyam" it was a question.

Khushi gulped and breathed heavily and looked away.

"I am asking something" he said coming closer.

"Yes..i am marrying him, got it" she lifted her head angrily.

"How can you do this to me?" he said clutching her by shoulders angrily.

Khushi scrunched her face and then looked at her clutched shoulders and then at him.

"You can't play with my feelings like this.." he said.

"Leave me.." said khushi wriggling.

"You can't. Did you Understand?" he yelled making her flinch.

"I said leave, didn't you hear?" she said.

"No..i know you are lying right" he said and khushi looked away.

"Tell me that you are lying.." his voice was shaky, he left her shoulders and took her face in his palms while khushi just stared at him.

"I know you are just trying to irritate me, annoy me by not coming to the food street and all.." he said.

Khushi scrunched her eyes and pushed his hand away with a jerk.

"You have gone mad, i am not doing anything deliberately...i am really marrying shyam, so now it's better for you to leave me.." she said angrily.

His features got intense suddenly.

"You just can't state it simply...you know I Love You and you Love me too" he said and khushi tried her best to keep herself composed.

"You are wrong then...Just forget me" she said.

"What.." he exclaimed.

"How can you just say it...forget me," he said with disbelief.

"Dammit, i can't forget you...I Love You" he said holding her by her shoulders.

"I have just loved you only." he yelled.

Khushi felt her tears filling her eyes and she scared to show this side to arnav.

"Leave me.." she said in a shaky tone and tried to remove his hands.

Arnav flared and then in the next moment, khushi was pinned to the tree.

"Don't do this to me...i swear, i will kill you, i hadn't killed anyone but people considers me a killer but today, i'll really do a murder" his anger rose to an extent.

Khushi breathed heavily as tears formed her eyes making everything blur in front of her.

"Tumhara bhi or apun ka bhi Khoon Kar dega...so what, if we didn't unite here, we'll unite up.." he said dangerously close to her.

Khushi remained quiet and swallowed lump.

"Or agar nahi maar paya to... I swear, utha ke le jaaunga" he said, his voice shaking again.

"You are crazy.." she whispered numbly with a tear rolling down her right cheek.

"Yeah.." he whispered back nodding.

He wiped that tear away and then caressed her skin beneath her eyes staring in them.

"Let me go.." she spoke calmly as possible.

She wanted to go far away from him, she doesn't want to show her weakness to him.

"Never.." he said.

"I know..i know, you love me too, i can read your eyes" he said closing the gap between them and getting intensely close.

Khushi quickly looked away, shutting her eyes and in the result, one more lone tear escaped her eye.

He held her chin and brought her face towards him.

"Just tell me that you love me...i'll take you far away, just u and me" he whispered.

For a second, khushi totally lost herself in those brown orbs and she wanted to scream "Yes" again and again and wanted to go far away with him...Just she and him.

"Just leave arnav.." she spoke controlling herself.

"Khushi please tell me.." he pleaded.

"Arnav leave.." she stated firmly.

"Just tell me, Do you Love me or not...i'll go from here" said arnav, his eyes moistening.

"Arnav please go.." said khushi pushing him back, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Tell me...do you love me or not" arnav yelled at her making her flinch and pushed her to the tree back.

Dangerously close to her..

"I don't love you" she said looking down, not meeting his gaze.

"Lie.." he said in a calm tone.

"Stop lying" he said.

"I am not lying" she said.

"Really, then repeat your words looking in my eyes" he said lifting her face.

Khushi looked away immediately...

"I don't need to repeat my word again and again" she said.

Arnav held her chin and made her to look at him forcefully.

"Look in my eyes" he gritted.

They stared in each other's eyes and when khushi sensed him trying to read her eyes, she quickly looked away..

"Now are you happy?" she asked.

"Khushi...i'll die without you" said arnav and khushi's heart pricked.

"I have never ever loved someone to such an extent, as you" he stated with honesty and khushi couldn't control herself anymore, and never-ending stream of tears made a way down her cheeks.

"Arnav please..." but she was cut off..

"Just tell me...don't you get affected, whenever i touch you.." he said and now he was sure about her.

Khushi's eyes widened slightly and she looked down.

"No.." she replied trying to not cry more in front of him.

"Really.." he said and moved more close to her.

She looked at him with wide eyes as he brought his lips close to her.

"Ar..rnav..." she stuttered.

"Sshh..." he shushed her.

Khushi closed her eyes tightly shedding more tears when he nuzzled his nose on her cheeks so gently ever.

"Arnav..."she whispered getting lost all of the sudden in his aroma.

But he ignored her and drew her shawl away from her body and then traced a lazy path on her bare arms.

Khushi arched her neck when he slowly entwined their hands and rested it on the tree. His other free hand above khushi's head and khushi's free hand clutching her shirt.

"Tell me...do you love me or not" he brushed his lips on her ear.

That was enough!! Khushi couldn't control herself anymore, she had to blurt.

"I.." Khushi spoke.

"Khushi.." Khushi jerked and opened her eyes.

Her eyes widened and she pushed arnav back.

"Dad" she breathed heavily.

Arnav looked ahead and find a burning Nihaal standing there, his eyebrow lifted automatically.

Khushi gulped in fear when she noticed shyam standing beside Nihaal with some men and she feared more for arnav.

She glanced at arnav, who was looking straight in Nihaal's eyes.

"Leave" she whispered angrily but arnav preferred to ignore her and stare at Nihaal and shyam. Khushi's eyes widened, when arnav slid his hand in hers and entwined them.

Khushi looked at him wide eyed and try to free her hand but he gripped more.

Nihaal clenched his fists focusing at their entwined hands and strode towards khushi angrily. Khushi breathed heavily and looked at Nihaal scared, He looked at her angrily and raised his hand, Khushi scrunched her eyes in fear and that's when arnav caught hold of Nihaal's wrist on time.

"Don't even dare?" he gritted shaking his head slightly.

Nihaal looked at him angrily and then at his hand. Shyam looked at arnav raising his brows and smirked seeing the scene.

He put his hand down slowly and glancing at khushi, he stared at Nihaal.

"What do you think of yourself? You..." he stopped looking at their entwined hands and tried to free their hands but arnav only tightened the grip making him to face the difficulty.

Tears streamed down khushi's cheeks and she looked at arnav and Nihaal. She breathed hard and then pulled her hand out of arnav's grip forcefully.

Arnav looked at khushi with a puzzled look.

"Go.." said khushi.

"Never.." he said.

"You didn't do good BTW by messing with me" said nihaal and arnav's attention was diverted towards him now.

"You are not doing good by messing with me.." said arnav.

"You.." Nihaal caught hold of his collar and khushi's eyes widened.

"Dad...please leave him.." said khushi.

Arnav very calmly, held his hand and removed it.

"I will not leave you today" said nihaal and looked back at shyam.

Shyam nodded and moved towards them with his men. Khushi looked at shyam, nihaal and the fearless face of arnav.

"No.." khushi spoke and stood in front of arnav, blocking everyone's way.

"You can't do this with him..." she said.

Arnav's eyes widened and he just stared at khushi.

"What.." exclaimed Nihaal.

"Because it's not his fault, it's my fault, i had only called him here.." spoke khushi..

"What are you saying?" he spoke immediately.

"Didn't i say you...leave..." she said angrily.

"Have you gone mad? Move from here khushi.." said Nihaal angrily.

"No..i'll not leave" said khushi.

"I said run.." said khushi turning to him.

But arnav remained quiet and just stared at her..

"What are you staring at? Run.." she said again..

"No not now..., because i just got to know everything.." he said getting serious.

Khushi gulped knowing his meaning and looked away when Nihaal held khushi's hand and pulled her towards him.

"No dad..." Khushi wriggled and tried to go to arnav as shyam stood in front of him.

"Leave me..dad"khushi wriggled and nihaal held her shoulders.

Shyam was about to punch arnav when he held his hand and punched him back on his face and that's when his men attacked on arnav.

"Dad please leave me.." khushi cried but Nihaal held her tighter..

"Please let him go.." khushi shouted as the men punched arnav badly.

"Khushi.." payal came there running.

"Payal.." khushi cried..

"Uncle...leave him.." said payal..

"Go inside.." Nihaal yelled at her..

"But.." she was cut off.

"I said go.." he shouted and dragged and crying khushi inside forcefully.

Hai jo lahu mera behta chala

Dekho junoon mera kehta chala

Khwaabon ka tha makaan jo dhehta chala

Bezubaan kab se main raha

Begunaah sehta main raha

Now that my blood is flowing out,

my passion has kept saying,

It was a house of dreams, that kept falling..

I have been voiceless since long back,

Innocent, I kept bearing..

Shyam smiled slyly as khushi and him and exchanged the rings, a couple of tears escaped khushi's eyes as shyam held her hand while Nihaal rolled eyes and then there was huge sound of applause and Nihaal suppressed a huge grin.

Khushi looked at him with the corner of her eyes and not controlling herself anymore, she ran from their stunning everyone.

"Khushi.." whispered payal and ran after her.

Manohar looked at Nihaal puzzled who just looked away embarrassed.

Meri jagah teri nigaahon mein

Ho na ho, main chala un raahon

Jo ladkhada gaya kahin

Toh aaoge tum hi toh

Thaamoge tum hi toh

Phir berukhi kyun hai mujhse

Kyu aise bhala ho mujhse khafa

Bezubaan kab se main raha

My place in your eyes

be there or not, I am on the way to that path

which got mis-directed in the middle

Then you only will come

And you only will hold

Then why this callousness with me

Why are you upset with me like this

I was silent for long

Arnav hissed as aakash applied ointment on his cut and then bandaged that area..

"Khushi.." whispered arnav.

Aakash glanced at him and looked away while arnav stared at him seeking for an answer.

Khushi closed the door of her room and took out the ring from her finger and shoved it away. She slid down against the door with a thud and cried her heart out when she noticed the diamond still in her neck, she caressed it and kissed it..

"Utha ke le jaunga" she remembered arnav's words.

"Take me away please.." she whispered and hid her face in her lap while payal kept banging on the door.

Bezubaan kab se main raha

Begunaah sehta main raha

I have been voiceless since long back,

Innocent, I kept bearing..

"You look so beautiful always" said shyam and khushi looked at him angrily as he held her hand while Nihaal smiled.

Khushi withdrew her hand from him jerkily and climbed the stairs. Nihaal got angry and followed her while Shyam twitched his eyes in confusion but then smirked.

Nihaal was about to enter inside when khushi closed the door on his face.

"Khushi dear listen to me.." banged Nihaal on the door.

But khushi ignored him and sat on her bed.

Not getting any response from her side, Nihaal left sadly.

Khushi breathed heavily when all the memories gushed through her mind. She got up and paced left right restlessly in room as she remembered the punches given to arnav. She shook her head and opening the door of her room, she barged in payal's room...

"Khushi.." payal stood up quickly leaving the book on table which she was reading.

"Payal..please take me to arnav, i want to meet him" khushi almost cried.

"Khushi are you fine?" asked payal concernedly.

"No, i am not fine, please take me to arnav, i want to see him..i don't care about anyone anymore" but payal just stared at her.

"How he must be? They punched him so badly...payal please just once, just once i will meet him" said khushi, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"You are so madly in love with him.." said payal with a grin.

Khushi sniffed looking at her.

"I am so happy" said payal and pulled her in a hug and patted her head as she cried more.

She wiped her tears.. "Come" said payal and held her hand..

"Uncle...me and khushi and going for shopping" said payal and Nihaal looked at them confusedly to which payal raised an eyebrow.

"Mohan..." shouted Nihaal.

"Ji saab" came mohan running.

"Khushi ko or payal ko mall **** do" said Nihaal.

"Ji saab" nodded mohan and went from there.

"Come" payal said with a smile holding khushi by her shoulders.

"Come back home before 8" said Nihaal as they reached the door.

Payal nodded and took khushi out.

***

Aakash looked at Khushi and smiled.

"13b...but he maybe sleeping" said aakash.

"I just want to see him" muttered khushi and aakash nodded.

"Go...we will not disturb you" said payal with an affectionate smile.

Khushi nodded and climbed the steps to reach his room.

Khushi slowly entered inside the room to find a pale arnav sleeping soundly on his bed and her eyes welled up. She looked around the room to find it messier than her room.

She sniffed and moved towards him and then sat beside him. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she found his head and right arm bandaged.

She couldn't do but fondle his forelock and stubble.

"I am sorry.." she whispered.

She looked away when a tear of hers dropped on arnav's hand. She wiped her tears and got up to leave when she felt a tug on her hand. She stopped with a puzzled look when she felt her heart beats increasing, she breathed heavily gulping as she guessed the touch.

She slowly turned back to find him all awake staring at her. Arnav slowly got up and sat straight still holding her hand while tears continuously escaped her eyes.

Khushi gazed down when arnav pulled her towards him and she fell on bed right in front of him.

But she quickly wiped them..

"I have to go..." she muttered but arnav pulled her closer.

"You came here to meet me.." he stated.

Khushi remained silent and looked away. Arnav held her chin and made her to look at him.

"Just once look in my eyes..." he whispered bringing her face close.

Khushi looked up at him and her lips quivered as he stared with ever so intensity and not able to torture herself more, she just threw herself in his arms crying badly.

Arnav scrunched his face feeling pain in his right arm but then smiled winding his arm slowly around her waist.

Khushi hugged him tightly, her arms around his neck and her face hidden in his chest, her tears dampening his shirt.

"I am sorry" she muttered and arnav brushed his face with her hair pulling her closer.

"Sshh..." he whispered.

The best moment cannot be other than finding your love in your arms..

Khushi slowly broke the hug and looked at him. They were just inches away, their breath falling on each other. Arnav slowly lifted his hand and caressed her cheeks with the back of his hand gently while she closed her eyes to feel him.

"Ab to keh do" he said resting his head on hers.

Khushi opened her eyes and her gaze first fell on his lips, finding him so close to her lips. She looked in his eyes and blinked fervently.

"Don't you love me? Do you really hate me?" he asked.

Khushi shook her head and gazed down.

"I failed, i failed so badly, i couldn't resist myself , you won...I had to fall in love with you.." she whispered while crying and looked directly in his eyes.

"I Love You..." she whispered.

Arnav smiled and then placed a kiss on her forehead while she closed her eyes in total bliss clutching his shirt.

"I Love you too" he whispered back and brushed his nose with hers while khushi too smiled through her tears.

He glanced at her lips and then at her. Khushi sensed his next move and inhaled deeply, she too want that. As he moved closer, she drifted her eyes shut and clutched his biceps and that's it, a green signal for arnav.

He too closed his eyes when their lips brushed sending shivers through their spines. The kiss was gentle but as the time passed, it got deeper and deeper, their nose getting crushed as they tried to dominate each other.

Arnav broke the kiss as he felt khushi wanted to breathe. He looked at her with his drugged eyes as khushi opened her eyes and stared in his brown orbs. He leaned forward again and then sucked her lower lip so slowly and gently ever taking his time.

He hugged her quickly and she rested her head on his chest for sometime when her phone beeped displaying Nihaal's number.

"I have to go.." she got up immediately but arnav held her wrist.

"I have..to go..." she stuttered looking at his pleading face.

"But first promise me...that you will come again tomorrow" he said.

"Ar...nav"

"Please.." he whispered.

And now he can she deny. She nodded and left from there before arnav dropped a kiss on her head.

The next day again khushi and payal left early morning with an excuse of shopping.

Khushi entered inside arnav's room to find him in kitchen making something for himself. Arnav turned back to find khushi and his heart fluttered, he quickly moved towards her and pulled in a hug. They remained in each other's hug in solace when khushi felt something burning.

"Something is burning arnav.." she said lifting her head slightly.

"Shyam" said arnav with his eyes closed eyes.

"Arnav...your toast" she shouted and arnav opened his eyes jerkily.

"Oh ****.." he exclaimed and quickly ran towards the toaster.

Khushi chuckled and taking a round, she sat over the slab, facing her back to arnav.

"It's because of you.." said arnav..

"True" said khushi and smiled.

Arnav smiled and took out the burnt pieces of bread.

"Now what will i eat..." said arnav..

"I don't know.." said khushi.

"Achha" said arnav and moved towards her..

"I'll eat you.." said arnav coming very close to her.

Khushi's eyes widened and before she could react, his hand slowly traced her belly over the fabric of her shirt. She shut her eyes tightly breathing heavily when he put her hair aside and placed his lips on her neck and his grip on her waist getting stronger with each passing second.

Khushi arched her neck giving him more access when arnav stopped abruptly. He carried away and he didn't want to do anything, after which he will regret. Khushi opened her eyes confusedly and turned her head back. Arnav smiled at her fondly and dropped a kiss on her cheeks.

"My new toast is ready...i will eat you tonight when we will go for a date" he said.

"Date.." she made a puzzled face and he nodded.

"Be ready at 7 :00" he said and the winked at her.

At 7, Khushi reached the address told by arnav and was stunned to find arnav in a suit, her eyes popped out, he looked dashing in a hatke attire...and she couldn't do but to stare at him through out their dinner.

Their date was full of intimacy as they had kissed each other again and again not satisfied anytime with each other...

***

Nihaal's eyes widened when he found khushi with arnav again. He kissed her on her cheek and left waving a bye at her while khushi tiptoed in the house quickly.

Nihaal fumed in anger as he watched all this from his balcony. He has to put everything in action ASAP.

***

"Arnav..." Aakash barged inside the room.

"What happened?" asked arnav.

"That Nihaal, Nihaal Gupta is making khushi to marry that shyam forcefully tonight, he got to know everything about you and khushi.." said aakash.

"What" exclaimed arnav clenching his fists.

"We have to do something fast..." said aakash.

Arnav threw his shirt away and ran out followed by aakash.

***

The main door of Gupta residence flung open, as arnav barged inside with a bang.

Khushi looked up, her eyes full of tears as she had stood up, for the 7 vows, clad in a bridal dress.

"Arnav.."she whispered and tried to go to him when shyam held her hand and pulled her back.

The guards quickly went alert but Nihaal stopped them.

"Iska kuch or ilaaj karne padega" said Nihaal and moved towards him.

He looked at him and found his head still bandaged.

"Baaz nahi aaoge tum" he said and arnav looked at him angrily.

"Look..Khushi cannot be yours because..." he stopped and turned back.

"Why did you stop?" he shouted at the pundit.

Shyam smirked and held khushi's hand, starting to vow around the holy fire while khushi tried her level best to free herself.

"So...where was i? yeah...Khushi is not yours, why don't you understand this simple thing" he said and arnav just remained quiet glancing at khushi.

"Answer" he said.

"If you weren't khushi's father and she hadn't love you then i would have already..."he stopped gritting.

Nihaal who talked calmly till now, fumed and looked at him angrily.

He was about to say him something, when arnav walked past him confusing him and entered inside the mandap.

He held khushi's hand and pulled her towards him while the vows and fished out the Mangalsutra, and showed it to khushi. He glanced at Nihaal who had his eyes wide and then tied it around her neck while khushi closed her eyes letting her tears flow.

He bent down and picked up the box of vermillion while Nihaal couldn't do anything. He was in a shock. Shyam looked at manohar and stretched his arms slightly.

He took a pinch and filled her partition with it and she scrunched her eyes.

"How dare you?" shouted Nihaal and strode towards him.

But arnav held khushi's hand stopping him in his tracks.

"We love each other...and you can't separate us" said arnav.

"Oh Just shut up.." said Nihaal.

"Khushi is now married to me...she is my wife...can't you see that she is happy with me" said arnav..

"Cut that ****." he said angrily.

"Dad.." khushi was cut off...

"Leave him right now.." gritted he..

"I can't dad" said she..

"I said leave him.." said Nihaal.

"Dad" she pleaded.

"If you didn't leave him...i will break all the relations with you mind it" he spoke.

"Dad" she cried.

"Decide now.." he said.

Khushi sniffed and looked at Nihaal and then at arnav who stared at her directly.

"So.." he said.

"Arnav is my husband...i will go where he will go" said khushi and Nihaal just stared at her.

"Get out.." he said.

"Dad please listen to me" khushi moved towards him but he stepped back..

"You are not my daughter" he said..

"Dad" she cried.

"I said get out of my house" he shouted at her making her to flinch.

Arnav sighed and moving towards khushi, held her hand.

"Let's go..." said arnav.

"But.." khushi spoke.

Arnav blinked his eyes assuring cupping her face.

"I promise, i'll make everything fine...your father...let him calm down, i promise i'll talk to him. he will accept you" he whispered and khushi looked at Nihaal who looked away.

"Come.." said arnav and took khushi out.

Nihaal looked at them and closed the door with a bang as they stepped out of the house. Khushi sniffed while arnav hugged her tightly.

"I love you" she whispered.

"I love you too...i'll make everything fine" he patted her head..

The End

***

I know, I know...this was very filmy!!I know the last part is a bit weird
Seriously *Phew* Thaaat was Filmy.

Just a last piece is remaing i.e. Epilogue. so stay tuned :)

Epilogue

Khushi smiled faintly and before he could kiss her again, she turned to him slowly in the circle of his arms.

"Good morning" he said caressing her face.

"Morning." she said resting her head on his chest and closing her eyes once again.

He smiled and caressed her back.

Khushi snuggled more in him and pulled the duvet till her chest. They were lying naked under the black sheets, sharing some memorable moments of life.

Arnav dropped a kiss on her head and khushi opened her eyes smiling at him..She stretched her hands lazily and hugged him back again.

"Don't you want to go your house today?" he asked.

"Of course, i'll go..payal is so nervous, she called me yesterday" she mumbled.

"Hhmm...but aakash is more nervous and you know about your dad..how?" he stopped abruptly as khushi smacked on his chest.

He chuckled and khushi twisted her lips angrily.

"Khabardaar...jo mere baap ke baare main kuchh kaha warna" she warned.

"Achha, Blackmailing, warna kya?" he said.

"Warna..i'll kiss you" she said with a smile and pecked on his lips.

"Hey, that's unfair" he said.

"Everything is fair in love and war" she whispered pinching his nose.

"Hey don't do that" said arnav.

Khushi chuckled and again pinched his nose..

"Don't do it warna" he warned.

"Warne kya?" khushi narrowed her eyes.

"Warna...i'll kiss you madly." he whispered brushing his nose with her. Khushi blushed and looked down.

Arnav too smiled and swooping down, he took her lips in his. Her nails dug in his skin, as he went smooth with her torturing her. He caressed her back and hair as they kissed each other gently.

"Stupid." said arnav to her and she gaped at him.

"Romeo.." she said angrily.

Arnav chuckled and bending a bit he kissed over her belly while she closed her eyes.

"I Love you" he said hugging her.

"I Love you too" she whispered.

***

The maid opened the door and welcomed arnav and khushi inside.

"Dad" khushi screamed and ran towards Nihaal, hugging him.

"How are you?" asked Nihaal ruffling her hair.

"I am fine..what about you? Did you take your medicines?" she asked.

"Yeah yeah...i took" said Nihaal assuring.

"Where's payal?" asked khushi.

"She is not coming down..i think she is scared" said Nihaal.

"I'll see her.." said khushi and ran upstairs.

"Oh arnav, why are you there? come.." said Nihaal with a smile.

Arnav smiled too and hugged him back.

"How's the work going?" asked Nihaal as they sat down.

"Yeah going good" he said.

"So what did you plan, are you going?" asked Nihaal.

"No uncle..you know i can't leave khushi" he said.

"She will be with me" said Nihaal.

Arnav smiled and scratched the back of his neck, shaking his head negatively.

"Uff...you and your Khushi" he said and chuckled when the doorbell rang.

"I think it's aakash" said arnav "I'll see" added arnav and got up to open the door.

He opened the door and his brows lifted automatically as he found aakash with closed eyes and muttering something to herself.

Arnav rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Aakash.." he called him.

"Hahn" he jerked from his prayers and nearly flinched.

"Oh my Gosh arnav, thanks to god, you are here" he said and hugged him suddenly making him to stumble a bit.

"Uff..i am so damn nervous" said aakash shaking his head.

"Yeah and i can see that" he said making a weird look.

"Hey, can i first go to washroom please..you know because of this nervousness...i really.." he stopped and looked at him sheepishly.

"What" exclaimed arnav looking at him as he continuously tapped his foot restlessly.

"C'mon, he is not that bad" said arnav.

"Swear" he said and arnav looked away.

"Come inside.." arnav dragged him inside forcefully.

***

"Oh my God Khushi..what will happen? i am so worried, will uncle agree" payal said as theyhide behind the stairs and then peeped their head out.

"Payal shut up.." said Khushi.

"Oh my God..is he scolding him?" asked payal.

"Seems like." muttered khushi looking ahead.

"****..." exclaimed payal.

"But don't worry, maybe he is just talking...you know na, how dad talks, if he is having a normal conversation even, it seems as if he is shouting" said khushi.

"Yeah that's true" muttered payal.

"How much do you love Payal?" asked Nihaal sternly while arnav tried his level best to not to laugh seeing the flown colour of aakash's face.

Aakash gulped and glanced at arnav who gave a thumbs up.

"Sir can i ask you a question?" asked Aakash"and Nihaal nodded.

"How much do you love Payal?" he asked.

"What type of question is this? she is my daughter? and there is no limit of my love towards her." he said.

"Then i also love her limitless and endlessly" he replied and Nihaal raised his brow in an impressive way.

Khushi looked at payal with awe to which she blushed and blew a flying kiss to aakash.

"But i don't think that i..." said Nihaal and Aakash went pale totally.

He didn't want to lose payal and he gulped.

"I can give payal's hand in yours" he said and then smiled.

But Aakash was still, he was in shock, did he just.

Payal jumped in glee and hugged khushi tightly.

Nihaal lifted his brows and looked at arnav who was also confused.

"He said yes" said arnav.

"Am i dreaming? Can you please pinch me?" asked aakash.

A faint smile spread on Nihaal's lips viewing his stupidity, while arnav got up rolling his eyes.

"Stupid...he said Yes" said arnav pinching him hard.

He hissed and then looked at arnav with wide eyes,

"Oh My God, Oh my God..i am so happy arnav" he squealed and hugged arnav tightly. Arnav chuckled and was about to hug him back when he left him jerkily and moved towards Nihaal.

He was going to directly pull him in a hug, but he stopped abruptly seeing that stern look in his eyes.

"Sorry" he muttered.

Nihaal shook his head and with a smile, pulled him for a tight hug.

"Why did you stop?" he asked while chuckling.

"It's just because of you and Romeo" said Payal kissing her cheeks.

"I know" said khushi arrogantly and the both giggle when they heard Nihaal.

"Payal...come out from where you are hidden" Payal's eyes widened and she gulped.

"Go now" khushi pushed her and she ran towards Nihaal.

Nihaal laughed and then hugged payal and aakash both.

Arnav smiled at them when he felt khushi's absence, he looked around and found her near the stairs staring at him unblinkingly.

He narrowed his eyes but she was just smiling at him. He twitched his eyes and went to her.

"What are you doing here?" asked arnav touching her shoulders.

"Thanks" she muttered.

"For what?" he asked confusedly.

"For everything...for trapping me in your web, for marrying me, for loving me madly, for saving my dad from those evils, by showing their true colors to him...for convincing dad, for aakash and payal and.."

"Ssshhh" arnav placed a finger on her lips shutting her mouth..

"Don't even dare?" he gritted.

"I did everything for myself" spoke arnav.

Khushi looked away and smiled.

"I know...my dear hubby" she said winding her arms around his neck romantically.

"Hhmm.." he hummed pushing her behind the stairs and pinning to wall.

"I Love you.." she said.

"I Love you more.." he said.

"No..i love you more" said khushi.

"No.. it's me.." said arnav.

"No..it's not.." her words remained in her throat as arnav dropped a quick kiss on her lips.

Khushi smiled and arnav leaned forward and kissed her fully.

He sucked her lips, caressing her arms while she held on his neck.

"Ow..." Khushi broke the kiss.

"What happened? Did i hurt you?" he asked concernedly looking at her lips.

"They kicked me.." she pouted and pointed at her belly.

"Hhmm..Naughty kids" said arnav and knelt down levelling till khushi's waist.

"Why are you kicking mamma...punch her also and two from my side" he said.

"Haaw.." khushi's jaw dropped and she hit him playfully.

Arnav chuckled and then placed a kiss on her belly.

Khushi smiled and was about to hug arnav when Payal called them..

"Hey Khushi...romeo, where are you both? Come" she yelled.

Khushi shook her head as arnav held her hand.

"Roadside Romeo" khushi smacked on his chest as they moved towards the lounge..
