He forwarded the cake piece .
Arnav : Eat it Khushi .and a big bite .
I nodded a no .
He raised his eyebrow .
I am clever than him . I ate a very small bit of the cake . Maybe an ant is huge than the bite I ate .
Khushi : I am on a special diet . I can't eat more than this .
I lied to him .
Arnav : Have a big bite before I stuff this into your mouth .
What can I do after he gave such a big warning ? I unwantedly ate half of the cake .
He smirked and had the rest of it .
I turned to the other guests . They went blank . Swathi is full of rage . Bhaabhi , bhai , Aman and Sheetal are happy . Arjun is not so happy .
He went back . Now all the youngsters forwarded to the dance floor . And started to dance their heart out . I feel their dances are really awkward ! Look at my bollwood stars .. They dance in such a nice manner !
Suddenly the lights got very much dimmed . The gold light is replaced by metallic blue .
Arnav : I dedicate this song to the special one in my life .
He said looking at me . He came towards sme and forwarded his hand .
Arnav : Please .
I don't want to hurt him on his birthday . So I placed my hand on his .
He took me to the centre of the dance floor . And the super hit song from Ek Villain started to play . Banjara . It is my favourite song . But why is he dedicating this song to me ?
Jise zindagi dhoondh rahi hai
Kya ye woh makaam mera hai
Yahaan chain se bas ruk jaaun
Kyun dil ye mujhe kehta hai
The one which my life is searching
Is this that destination?
Why does my heart say to
Just stop here?
Jazbaat naye se mile hain
Jaane kya asar ye hua hai
Ik aas mili phir mujhko
Jo qubool kisi ne kiya hai
I have got new emotions
I don't know what effect is this
I got a ray of hope again
When somebody accepted me
Haan
Kisi shaayar ki ghazal
Jo de rooh ko sukoon ke pal
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjaare ko ghar
Like a poem by a poet
Which brings peace to the soul
I have found somebody as if
A gypsy has found a home
Naye mausam ki sehar
Ya sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Like a morning of a new season
Or afternoon of winter
I have found somebody as if
A gypsy has found a home
Jaise koi kinaara
Deta ho sahaara
Mujhe wo mila kisi mod par
Like a corner gives support
I found her at a turn
Koi raat ka taara
Karta ho ujaala
Waise hi roshan kare woh shehar
The way a star lightens up the sky,
She lightens up the city
Dard mere woh bhula hi gaya
Kuchh aisa asar hua
Jeena mujhe woh phir se woh sikha raha
I forgot all my pain
Such was the effect
She taught me live again
Jaise baarish kar de tar
Ya marham dard par
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjare ko ghar
It's as if rain
Or a medicine for pain
I have found somebody as if
A gypsy has found a home
Naye mausam ki sehar
Ya sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjare ko ghar
It's as if rain
Or a medicine for pain
I have found somebody as if
A gypsy has found a home
Naye mausam ki sehar
Ya sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjaare ko ghar
Muskaata yeh chehra
Deta hai jo pehraa
Jaane chhupata kya dil ka samandar
Auron ko toh har dam saaya deta hai
Woh dhoop mein hai khada khud magar
The smiling face is keeping watch
I have no idea what is hidden in her heart
she gives shade to all the whole time
But is in sunlight herself
Chot lagi hai usey phir kyun
Mehsoos mujhe ho raha hai
Dil tu bata de kya hai iraada tera
Why am I feeling the pain
When she is wounded
Heart, tell me what are your intentions?
Main parinda besabar
Tha uda jo darbadar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjarey ko ghar
I was like a impatient bird
That flew here and there
I have found somebody as if
A gypsy has found a home
Naye mausam ki sehar
Ya sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjarey ko ghar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Jaise banjare ko ghar
I was so lost in his eyes that I danced with him maintaining the intensity of the song . But I feel that he is dedicating this song to someone truthfully . But is it me ?
Arnav : It is you Khushi . I am dedicating this song to you .
I kept looking into his eyes . Does he also feel something for me ??
Everyone started to clap for us .
I then realised that I am dangerously close to him which is not good for us . I left him and went back to the other side of the hall .
The youngsters again started to dance .
Arjun came towards me with a happy face . Why is he coming now ?
Arjun : Khushi will you come with me to the poolside ? Please . It is important .
Khushi : Ok .
We went to the the poolside .
*****
Arjun took my hand and hovered his hand over mine.
Arjun : Khushi I love you .
Arjun : Khushi I loved you since our 3rd standard . I thought I liked you . In my 7th standard I realised I loved you .
He loved me in third standard ?? I didnt even know all that .
Tears are rolling down my eyes .
Khushi : Arjun I'm sorry but I never felt that way for you . Never . I'm sorry .
Arjun : I know you loved Arnav . But Khushi I'm not like Arnav !! I didn't took up the wrong path to gain my love !! I never changed my self to gain love . I loved , loving you the way I am . I didn't change anything . I am the same . I'm totally different from him . I always tried to talk to you but I had no reason to talk to you .
I felt very bad when Arnav decided to ignore you because I clearly could see the love you have for him in your eyes . Arnav friends , I mean all of us respected you so much when you started running away from Arnav in school respecting his decision . This showed how much you respect Arnav . But I still had faith in my love . I know one day we will be together . I love you Khushi .
And Arnav decided to ignore me ?? He changed to gain love ?
What is all this ??
Before I could ask him something someone punched arjun on his face ! It is Arnav .
He is very angry .
He clutched his collar .
Arnav : How dare you propose my girl ? How dare you ?
He gave. A tight slap on his face . Aman interrupted and tried to stop him but Arnav crossed the stage of listening anyone .
Khushi : Arnav stop !! He's getting hurt !!
Arjun attempted to punch Arnav but I stopped him .
Khushi : Arjun don't . Please . Arnav aap bhi .
My tears aren't stopping .
Arjun barged outside the house . I looked at Arnav who was looking at me with an undefinable expression .
I followed Arjun .
We reached outside the house .
Khushi : Arjun stop !! Please stop !
Arjun : Khushi will you marry me ?
Khushi : No . Never . I don't wanna give you any wrong expectations . I'm sorry .
I said it without any hesitation with tears running over my cheeks .
Khushi : Isn't it strange Arjun ? There was one boy who was waiting for my love and I was waiting for another ones love . We both didn't get any love from the ones we want . All I could say is move on ! All the best Arjun .
*****
I said all that to Arjun and again went inside Arnav's house .
I headed towards the poolside . I stopped as I heard bhaabhi and Arnav talking something .
Arnav : How can he even do that di ? He touched her ! How could he ?
Anjali : Relax Chottey .. I think you are the one who is to be blamed . You are not fast in your plans . Be quick or else anyone like Arjun will take advantage . Anyways I don't blame Arjun for proposing her . I knew that he loved Khushi since long .
What are they talking all about ??
Then Arnav saw me . Even bhaabhi turned towards me .
Anjali : Come .
I stepped inside . I fixed my eyes rooted to the ground . I know Arnav is looking at me only .
Anjali : Are you fine ?
I nodded . I'm not feeling bad for the proposal . I'm now used to it . Many men come on my way and say they love me . I faced many like that . All I'm worried is about what is Arnav upto ?? Which plans shall be quick ??
I again went back . I saw Sheetal and Aman discussing something . I went towards them .
We started to chat and my spirit raised up again !! I'm again in a very happy mood .
Slowly the guests bid a good bye to the party . Aman and Sheetal too left . Even I wanted to go but bhaabhi and bhai stopped me . They took Amma's permission .
*******
Arnav dragged me to his room . He folded my hand and fastened it on my back and pinned me to the wall .
Khushi : Yeh aap kya kar rahe hai ? [ What are you doing ? ]
Arnav : Dare you even if you see Arjun ever again in your life . I don't want his shadow near you . Got it ?
Khushi : Huh ? Who are you to dictate me like this ?? If you don't want me to do all that .. Then listen , I will meet Arjun everyday .. I will talk to him .. In fact I'll accept his proposal .. Got it ?
He clutched my hand making my bangles prick my wrist .
I winced in pain ...
Arnav : Never .. I will never bare his presence around you .
Khushi : Why are you dominating me ? It's my wish if I want him around me or not .
He left me and turned around .
Arnav : Not it's not !! You cannot accept his proposal .
He yelled .
Khushi : Aap ko isse kya faraq padta hai ?? Agar hum Arjun se pyaar kare ?
He clutched my arms and brought me closer to him .
Arnav : Of course faraq padta hai dammit ..
Khushi : Kyun ? Kyun faraq padta hai aapko ??
He caught hold of my wrists and pinned it to the wall and shouted .
Arnav : Because I need you dammit !!
I kept looking in his eyes . He left my hands . And broken pieces of my bangles fell down on the ground with drops of blood .
I pushed him and made my way to the hall .
********
We all sat on the sofa .
We are talking about love and marriage .
Anjali : I'm sure many guys proposed you !! You have so much of charm in you !! You are always glowing !!
I just smiled . Arnav sat relaxedly and staring at me as if nothing ever has happened .
Anjali : Khush tell me the qualities of your dream boy !! What do you think of love ? All that .. Everything about love . Tell me .
The question itself took me to a separate world .
Khushi : Love is an undefinable feeling . Something happens to a person which can sometimes change the person itself ! For me love is a very important part of my love . I don't even know if I even loved someone truly .. But I know I will come across him in any point oF my life .
Anjali : Aww sweet ... So how much age gap you both should share ??
Khushi : Minimum 5 years ... Ummm maximum 7 years .
Arnav : What ?
Arnav said in an anger tone . I saw him in confusion .
Anjali : Khush but 7 years is way too long . I think maximum should be 1 year.
Khushi : No bhaabhi . Even bhai is 6 years older than you !! Actually the ones in same age group will think a like and may take wrong decisions . If your life partner is older than you by 5 years or more , they can guide you ... They can solve your problems .
Arnav got up from his place in anger aand marched to his room .
******
Bhai and Arnav went over to my place to get my clothes but Amma gave everything else other than my night clothes .
Bhaabhi gave me a red nighty which isn't appealing , I mean it is bit revealing .
Even though it is accompanied with a robe .. It doesn't help .
I had a quick bath and put on the nighty followed by my skin routine .
The guest room has a very big dressing room . I can't even imagine how much big the other rooms would have their dressing room !!
Bhaabhi called me for the dinner as none of had anything in the party .
I got out of my room and was going to the stairs but I collided with Arnav .
He kept staring me in an unusual way . It had some other emotion ; with some desire as if he is undressing me .
Chi . I don't even want to think of it . Let him see me however he wants .. But he will not get anything . He needs me ??? Idiot . Shameless .
I was about to move past him but he caught hold of my hand .
He dragged me inside his room . And made me sit on a recliner .
He got some box . And aided my wounded hands .
Arnav : So you are marrying Arman who is 5 years older than you .
Khushi : That's none of your business .
Arnav : Don't talk to me like that . Don't make me lose my sense . Or else you don't know what I will do with you now .
I released my Hand from his grip and left his room .
