===================================
*The next morning*
Arnav held Khushi's hand as they walked towards the Eiffel tower.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eiffel_Tower_Bottom.JPG
Khushi: Subha ka waqt hai phir bhi yahaan kitni bheed hai!
Arnav: Yahaan toh saal k 365 din,subha se lekar raat tak,itni bheed hoti hai!
Khushi: Aapne pehle se ticktein book karvaakar bahut achchha kiya!
Arnav: Ha,book toh karvaa di but tickets collect karnaa baaki hai. Tumhe garden me bithaakar
main tickets lekar aata hoon.
Khushi(stops walking): Hum yaheen intezaar karte hain. Aap ticktein lekar aaiyye.
Arnav: You sure?
Khushi: Ji,bilkul!
Arnav: Fine. Tum yaheen khadi rehna,I'll be back soon.
*******
Khushi smiled as she looked around the place.
She could hear the sounds of laughter & babbling coming from the farther end of the garden.
Khushi(thinks): Yeh bageecha(garden) bachchhon k khelne aur ghoomne phirne k liye bahut badhiya hai!
Sirf bachhhon k hi kyun? Poore parivaar k saath picnic manaane k liye Paris me iss se achchhi jagah aur kya
ho sakti hai?! Agar kabhi hum apne poore parivaar k saath Paris aaye toh hum iss bageeche me picnic zaroor
karenge! Aur agar.. (sighs)kabhi hum apne bachhhon k saath yahaan aaye toh unhe hum iss bageeche me
khula chhod denge! Koi rok-tok nahi! Jahaan bhaagna hai bhaagein aur jo khelna hai khelein!
She smacks her forehead as she comes out of the reverie.
Khushi(thinks): Tu bhi na Khushi! Abhi toh bachchhe huye bhi nahi hai aur abhi se tune itna sab kuch soch liya!
Yeh toh woh hi baat ho gayi na ki 'Bhains khareedi nahi uss se pehle hi tay kar liya ki uss ka doodh bechenge ya doodh ki dahi jamaayenge!' (smiles)Agar Arnavji k saamne tune yeh baat kahi hoti toh woh kitne naraaz ho jaate! Kehte "What the..!? Ab tumne bachhhon ko bhi animals se compare shuru kar diya!? Woh bhi bhains se!?"
She was busy thinking about Arnav's reactions when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Turning around,she spotted a young couple standing behind her.
Khushi(thinks): Shaqal se toh yeh Chini(Chinese) ya Jaapaani(Japanese) lagte hain..
Woman: Jiang nin dianji wo de zhaopian? (Will you click our photo?)
Khushi(frowns): Ji? (checks herself)I mean.. (gestures)What?
The man made a clicking gesture as he said "foto,foto"
Khushi(realizes): Oh,photo?!
The man nodded & nudged the woman who took out a camera from her purse.
Woman: Foto?
Khushi(nods): Haan,haan. Hum kheench dete hain. (gestures) Dijiye..
The woman pointed to one of the buttons on the top panel of the camera.
Khushi nodded as if to say she understood.
The couple went & stood closer to the Eiffel tower before posing arm in arm for her.
Khushi clicked their pic & was about to return the camera when the man said "more?"
Khushi: 1 aur?(nods)Okay.
Khushi was shocked when the man kissed his partner's cheek.
Khushi(thinks): Hey Devi Maiyya! Yeh humse.. aisi tasveer khinchvaana chaahte hain?
She saw the expectant look on the couple's faces and even though she felt embarassed,
she went ahead & clicked their pic.
"More?",asked the man & Khushi's heart flipped inside her chest.
Khushi(thinks): Ab,pataa nahi,kaisi tasveer khinchvaana chaahenge hain yehlog?
She shook her head vehemently.
Khushi(points to the other side): Humare pati.. a.. my husband is waiting for me. Toh.. maaf kijiyega par..
I got to leave now!
Man: Okay.
Khushi: bye bye!
Woman(smiles): Xie xie!(thank you!)
She placed the camera on the woman's hand,folded her hands in namaste & left the couple alone.
Walking ahead,Khushi didnt know where she could go from there.
Khushi(thinks): Humein toh yeh bhi nahi pataa ki Arnavji ticktein lene kahaan gaye hain? Aur unhone humein
waheen khade rehkar intezaar karne k liye kaha tha. (decides)Humein waapis waheen lautna chahiye. Agar
Arnavji humse pehle pahuch gaye aur unhone humein wahaan nahi dekha toh woh pareshaan ho jaayenge.
When she turned around,she was relieved to find that the couple had left.
Arnav returned less than a minute after Khushi came back to the place where she was standing earlier.
The sight of him walking towards her,looking smart & suave in the red bandhgala & black trousers,made her heart skip a beat.
http://www.perniaspopupshop.com/ashish-soni-red-bandhgala-jacket-ashc1213010.html
His gel-free hair was slightly dishevelled due to the morning breeze,which made him look extra delectable.
She lowered her gaze as he came & stood right next to her,a tad too close for comfort.
Arnav(nods): Thank you!
Khushi(looking up at him): Kis liye?
Arnav(smirks): Bina bole meri taareef karne k liye!
The color of Khushi's cheeks turned darker than the color of her saree as she lowered her gaze yet again.
http://www.indiansareetrends.com/2012/12/raveena-tandon-in-plain-red-georgette.html
Arnav: Ab Eiffel Tower dekhne chalein ya Arnavji ko dekhkar hi waapis jaane ka iraada hai?
It started drizzling before Khushi could answer.
She swiftly opened the umbrella and,holding its handle with her left hand,placed it over their heads.
Khushi: Jaldi chaliye. Baarish tez hone se pehle humein tower k andar pahuchna hai.
Arnav: 1 sec..
He took her right hand in his left & placed their hands on the handle of the umbrella.
Khushi placed her left hand in his right & they resumed walking towards the iconic tower.
=======================================
The ground level had two pillars-The North pillar as well as the South pillar.
There was a bust of Gustave Eiffel,the genius behind the creation of the tower,in the corner of the North pillar.
Then there were the old lifts which had been designed by Gustave but were not used anymore.
Khushi: Kyun? Ab kyun nahi istemaal kartein?
Arnav: Kyunki ab computerized lifts aa gaye hain,jinhe operate karnaa bahut easy hota hai.
Khushi nods as they proceed towards the esplanade between the two pillars.
At its centre was an information desk,where people could seek out any information about the tower.
Apart from that,there were some cash dispensers,souvenier shops and a post office near the South pillar.
Khushi: Yahaan utna mazaa nahi aa raha hai.
Arnav: Mazaa toh oopar jaane k baad aayega! Come with me..
************
The lift which took visitors from the ground level to the first level was jam packed.
Khushi felt claustrophobic & waited eagerly for the doors of the lift to part.
She was utterly surprised when the lift opened roughly a minute after they'd stepped in it.
Khushi(shocked): Hum.. pehli manzil(floor) par.. pahuch gaye kya? *when he nods*Itni jaldi!?
Arnav nodded while ushering her out of the lift.
Khushi let out a huge breath upon coming out.
Arnav(concerned): Tum theek ho?
Khushi(smiles): Ab theek lag raha hai. Lift me toh humari saans atki hui thi! Waise.. iss manzil ki oonchaai(height)
kitni hogi? Matlab.. yeh zameen se kitni doori par hai?
Arnav: Andar chalo,wahaan sab pataa chal jaayega..
===================================
The highlight of the first level was the Cineiffel.
It was a televised ladder of eight screens,potraying unique pictures of the tower.
At the top of the ladder was an auditorium which showed film animations recounting the iconic moments of the tower.
There was also an exhibition room which reminded Khushi of Southampton's museum & the exhibition room over there.
Arnav: Khushi..
Khushi: Ji?
Arnav: Kya hua?
Khushi: Kuch nahi! woh.. bas.. humein Southampton wale museum ki yaad aa gayi!
Arnav: I see. Uss taraf chalein?
Khushi: Ji,chaliye..
The guide on the other side of the first level began narrating the history of the Eiffel tower.
Khushi was majorly disinterested in it except for the part where he(guide) mentioned that there were 72 names of
scientists,mathematicians & engineers engraved on the tower,to acknowledge their contributions in their respective
fields.
It immediately reminded Khushi of India Gate & the names of martyrs engraved on its surface.
Khushi(thinks): Hum Hindustaaniyon ko jitna garv India Gate ko dekhkar mehsoos hota hai utna hi garv yahaan k logon
ko Eiffel Tower dekhkar mehsoos hota hoga!
Her thoughts were proved right as the guide told them how people would climb the total of 1710 steps to reach from
the ground level to the topmost level before the lifts had been installed in the tower.
Khushi(thinks): Kitni utsuk(eager) rahe honge naa woh log, iss karishme ko dekhne k liye? Tab hi toh,bina kisi cheez ki parvaah
kiye,1000 se zyaada seedhiyaan chadhkar oopar tak pahuch gaye! (inquisitive)Oonchaai k alaava,aisi koi khaas baat zaroor hogi sabse oopar
wali manzil me,jise dekhne k liye log aaj bhi door-door se aate hain aur utni oonchaai tak jaate hain!
Arnav(pats her shoulder): Kahaan khoyi ho?
Khushi: a.. kaheen nahi!
Arnav: Toh chalo phir!
That is when Khushi realized that the tourists had moved alongwith the guide to another part of the floor.
There was a restaurant called Le 58 tour Eiffel over there.
Khushi(turns to Arnav): Hum oopar ki dono manzilein dekhne k baad yaheen aakar naashta karenge!
Arnav: Nahi!
Khushi(shocked): Phir aapne humse yeh kyun kaha ki hum Eiffel tower k restaurant me naashta karenge?
Arnav: Kyunki hum ooparwaale restaurant me naashta karenge! Par abhi nahi,baad me! Filhaal hum tower dekh lein?..
Khushi: Humne kab manaa kiya? Hum toh bas poochh rahe the..
Arnav: Whatever! Ab chalo..
They joined the rest of the tourists who were busy answering a poll on the color of the tower.
Khushi: Iss me humein kya karnaa hoga?
Arnav: Tumhe apni opinion bataani hogi,ki tumhare hisaab se tower kaunse color ka hona chahiye? Majority votes
jis color ko milenge,agli baar tower ko uss color se paint kiya jaayega.
Khushi: Samajh gaye.
They followed the tourists into the gallery which was all about the different monuments & important sites in Paris. **************
Khushi turned to Arnav once they entered the lift.
Khushi: Aapne kaunsa.. rang chuna?
Arnav: Metal grey.
Khushi: Humne toh.. woh hi rang chuna jo.. rang iss waqt lagaa.. hua hai-bronze. Hum..aare hisaab se toh.. woh hi rang
jachega.. iss tower par!
Arnav: Baatein mat karo! Waise bhi.. tumhari saans phool rahi hai.
Khushi nodded & kept quiet till they came out of the lift.
======================================
Apart from a gourmet restaurant,there were 3 souvenier shops on the second level.
Khushi asked Arnav to buy a small,fiber glass replica of the Eiffel tower as a memento of their visit.
Arnav: Kuch aur lena hai? Tum chaaho toh yahaan se amma,babuji ko ya phir ghar par kisi ko ya.. Preeto,Sarita ya or koi friend ko postcards
bhej sakti ho.
Khushi: Zaroorat nahi hai kyunki humne sab k liye koi na koi tohfa le hi liya hai. Aur 3 din baad toh hum ghar hi jaa rahe hain na? Toh phir
postcard kyun bhejna?
Arnav: In that case,tum wait karo tab tak main apne liye postcard le kar aata hoon.
Khushi(teases): Kisey postcard bhejenge aap?(grins)Amanji ko?
Khushi stops grinning When Arnav glares at her.
Khushi: Sorry! Hum toh bas mazaak kar rahe the!
She waits till he comes back with a postcard.
Khushi: Bataaiyye na,kisey postcard bhej rahe hain aap?
Arnav: Nani ko..
Khushi(surprised): Naniji ko?
Arnav(nods): Unhe postcards aur inland letters padhne ka aur collect karne ka bahut shauq hai!
He proceeds to scribble something on the postcard while continuing to talk about his grandmother.
Arnav: Aaj-kal k zamaane me sab e-mail aur phone k thru communicate karnaa prefer karte hain. Isiliye unk naam k letters aana practically band ho gayaa hai. Varnaa 1 time tha jab nani k naam k sabse zyaada letters aur postcards aate the humare ghar me! Aur nani unhe bahut sambhaal
k rakhti thi.
Khushi: Baad me naniji unn chhithiyon aur postcards ko kayeen padhti hongi aur bhejnewalon ko yaad bhi karti hongi..
Arnav(nods): Jab bhi nanaji Delhi se baahar jaate the,woh nani ko postcards bhejte the,jinhe dekhte hi nani k face pe
smile aa jaati thi!
Khushi(holds his hand): Aapka postcard dekhkar naniji bahut khush ho jaayengi!
Arnav: Aapka postcard nahi,humara postcard! (handing the pen)Lo,tum bhi iss me kuch likh do. Phir main iss me address add kar dunga.
Khushi: Isse post karne k liye toh aapko neeche wale post office me jaana hoga na?
Arnav: Nahi. Sab kuch dekh lene k baad jab hum ground floor par jaayenge ,tab main isse post kar dunga.
Khushi(agrees): Yeh achchha rahega!
He waits while Khushi writes a message for naniji in Hindi.
Arnav: Jab nani se phone par baat hogi tab unhe bataana mat ki humne unhe postcard bheja hai! Let it be a surprise for her!
Khushi(smiles): Theek hai.
She writes her name before handing it over to Arnav.
=======================================
There was a queue near the glass elevator which took tourists to the third level.
ArShi had to wait for a fairly long time despite having tickets.
But the outstanding view from the topmost level was every bit worth the long wait.
The third level was made up of two parts-one which was out in the open & the other housed within a roof.
ArShi visited the open part of the level first.
Khushi's eyes widened as they took in the panoramic view of the city.
http://travelerfolio.com/travelerfolio/photos/eiffel_paris_02.jpg
Arnav(arm around her): 906 ft. ki height se Paris kaisaa lag raha hai?
Khushi: Bahut hi sundar lag raha hai! Aaj pataa chalaa ki yeh sheher kitna badaa hai! (turns to him)Aapko
kaisaa lag raha hai?
Arnav: Superb lag raha hai! Yeh height,yeh view,yeh mausam, its all so.. refreshing! To top it all,mere paas tumhare jaisi
biwi ka saath hai!
Khushi: Humare jaisi biwi matlab?
Arnav: Matlab thodi si paagal,thodi si baatooni(talkative)..
He pauses upon noticing her pout coupled with the cross expression.
Arnav(leans closer): Bahut sundar,bahut cute! Aur iss saree me bahut hi se..
Khushi(interrupts): Samajh gaye! (blushes)Ab humari taareefon k pul baandhna band kijiye! (embarassed)Yahaan kitne saare log hain!
Arnav: Toh kya hua?! (smiles)Maine yeh thode hi na kaha ki you look absolutely stunning! *when khushi glares at him*Jo bhi
kaha Hindi me kaha na?
Khushi pokes him with her elbow which makes him smile further.
Arnav: Okay,fine! Ab main kuch bhi nahi kahunga aur tum bhi kuch mat kehna! Sirf dekho aur yeh view enjoy karo!
Khushi nodded as she turned away from him.
They stood there for some time,savouring the view,the cool breeze and the warmth of each other's company.
Then they moved towards the other part of the level which housed a laboratory,where Gustave Eiffel & his team
used to conduct various experiments,his office & an apartment where he entertained esteemed guests.
It has life-like models of Gustave n some guests like Thomas Edison.
Once they'd seen all that there was to see on that level,Arnav pointed towards the elevator.
Arnav: Chalein?
Khushi: Kyun? Iss manzil k oopar kuch nahi hai?
Arnav: Hai na! Radio aur television channel k antennas hain. Dekhna hai?
Khushi: Nahi. Humein TV dekhne ka shauq hai,TV k antenna ko dekhne ka koi shauq nahi hai!
Arnav: In that case,humein neeche chalnaa chahiye.
Khushi: Toh chaliye!
=======================================
Arnav took Khushi to Jules Verne restaurant,located on the 2nd floor,for breakfast.
Khushi smiled as she took in the breathtaking view from the glass walls.
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/12/24/1198344938757.html
Khushi: Yahaan se baahar dekhne me kitna mazaa aa raha hai na?
Arnav smiled at her excitement.
Khushi: Thodi der pehle tak toh bahut bhookh lag rahi thi. Par ab jab restaurant me aa gaye hain toh aisaa lag
raha hai ki khaana-peena sab chhodkar sirf aur sirf yeh nazaara dekhein!
Arnav: Uss k liye khaana-peena chhodne ki kya zaroorat hai? Khaate-khaate bhi toh baahar dekh sakti ho na?
Khushi: Ha,woh toh dekh hi sakte hain. Par aisaa karne par dhyaan khaane aur nazaare k beechh bat jaayega.
Arnav(nods): You're right! Toh aisaa karo tum nazaara dekho aur main breakfast kartaa hoon! Toh tumhara dhyaan
nahi batega!
Khushi: Nahi,nahi! Hum bhi naashta karenge!
Arnav(pushes the menu card towards her): Pehle yeh tay toh kar lo ki tumhe kya khaana hai?
Khushi(annoyed):Arnavjiii!
=====================================
*Later that morning*
Arnav(opens the door of the penthouse): Welcome back,Mrs. Raizada!
Khushi(grins): Aapko bhi welcome back,Mr. Raizada!
Arnav(wheeling in the suitcases): Thank you! So.. aaj ka aur agle 2 dinon ka kya plan hai?
Khushi(smiles): Sabse pehle toh kapde badalkar bistar par phailkar,akele sone ka plan hai!
Arnav(shocked): What the..!?
Khushi(closes & bolts the door): Aur nahi toh kya?! Kal raat aapne humein theek se sone kahaan diya? Ab tak humaari aankhein jal rahi hain.
Arnav(pats her head): You better get used to it! (suggestive grin) I dont think aaj raat ya phir aanewaali 2 raaton me tumhe zyaada sone ka mauka milega!
Khushi(shocked): Kya?!
Arnav(smirks): Flight me so kar compensate kar lena,okay?
He walks inside the master bedroom while Khushi follows him,muttering lard governer under her breath.
**********
Arnav enters the master bedroom & frowns.
Arnav(thinks): Khushi ne bolna kyun band kar diya?
He turns around to find no-one behind him.
Arnav(wonders aloud): Abhi toh yaheen thi,phir achaanak kahaan chali gayi?(calls loudly)Khushi..
"Hum yahaan hain!",answers Khushi from 1 of the smaller bedrooms.
Arnav walks towards that bedroom only to find the door closed. When he tries to open the door,he finds it locked from inside.
Arnav(shocked): What the..!?(bangs the door)Khushi,tumne darwaaza kyun band kar diya?
Khushi: Taaki hum chain se so paayein!
Arnav: What?
Khushi: Ab aap chaahe what kahein ya phir what the,hum darwaaza nahi kholenge!
Arnav(sternly): Khushi,open the door. This is not funny!
Khushi: Toh humne kab kaha ki yeh funny hai!?
Arnav(enraged): Come on,Khushi! U're being unreasonable now!
Khushi: Kal raat ko aap unreasonable ho gaye the,uss ka kya?
Arnav(ignores): Open the door!
Khushi: Hum sone ja rahe hain. Please humein pareshaan mat kariye!
Arnav(sighs): Khushi.. (in a calmer tone) Tum darwaaza khol do. Main tumhe pareshaan nahi karunga.
Khushi: Hum nahi maante!
Arnav: Tumhari kasam! Bas? Now, please open the door..
When there is no response,Arnav bangs his fist on the door.
Arnav(loudly): Open the door,dammit!
Khushi: Haan,haan,khol rahe hain! Bistar se uthkar darwaaze tak aane ka samay toh dijiye!
When she opens the door,Arnav enters the bedroom.
Khushi: Areh?! Aap kahaan ghuse chale aa rahe hain? Aap jaakar apne office ka kaam kijiye naa..
Arnav(takes a step towards her): Dont forget, main bhi kal raat ko theek se nahi soya hoon.
Khushi(takes a step backwards): H.. ha.. t.. toh?
Arnav(takes a step towards her): Toh main bhi tumhare saath..
Khushi(interrupts): Nahi!
When Arnav cocks an eyebrow,Khushi averts her gaze.
Khushi: Aapko sona hai toh aap bagal waale kamre me jaakar so jaaiyye.
Arnav(leans closer to her): Main yahaan kyun nahi so saktaa?
Khushi(admits): Kyunki agar aap yahaan soyenge toh.. hum nahi so paayenge.
Arnav: Come on Khushi!
Khushi: Kya tab se come on,come on kahe jaa rahe hain?! Agar aapko yaheen letna hai toh theek hai! Let jaaiyye! Hum chale bagalwaale kamre me!
She turns to go when he stops her.
Arnav: Wait! Main uss room me chalaa jaata hoon,tum yaheen pe so jaao.
Khushi(doubtful): Sach me?
Arnav nods while taking a step away from her.
Khushi(convinced): Theek hai. Aapko waaqai me sona hai toh aap uss kamre me so jaaiyye.
Arnav: No,thanks! Mujhe kuch kaam karnaa tha toh main woh kar leta hoon. 2 ghante baad tumhe jagaa dunga,okay?
Khushi: Nahi! Aap humein tab jagaaiyyega jab khana ban jaaye!
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: Ji. Jaise kal sab kuch aapk hisaab se hua tha. Waise hi,aaj sab kuch humare hisaab se hoga!
Arnav(sounds amused): Really?
Khushi: Ji. Kal raat aapne humse saara kaam karvaaya toh aaj aap bhi humara kaam karne ki taiyyaari
kar lijiye!
Arnav(bows his head): Huqum kijiye,lady governess!
Khushi: Sabse pehle humare liye badhiyaa si khichdi banaiyye! Aapko yaad hai? Aapne jab pehli baar humare liye videshi khana banaayaa tha tab aapne humse kaha tha ki aapko Hindustani khaane me sirf 1 cheez banaani aati hai-khichdi!
Arnav: Yaad hai. But.. tumhe khichdi kyun khaani hai? Its not as if tumhari tabiyat kharaab hai or something..
Khushi: Aapse kisne kaha ki sirf tabiyat kharaab hone par hi khichdi khaayi jaati hai? (dreamy smile)Barsaat k mausam me garmaagaram khichdi, saath me pakodein,tale huye paapad aur achaar khaane ka mazaa hi kuch aur hota hai! Subha se baarish ho rahi hai. Isiliye humne tay kiya ki
hum aaj hi aapse khichdi banvaayenge! Par uss k liye aapko dal,chaawal aur baaki saari saamagrih(ingredients) ki zaroorat padegi. Isiliye aap Raghuji ko bulvaa lijiye.
Arnav: You'll be disappointed to know ki iss baar na toh Raghu aayega aur na hi Amber.
Khushi(shocked): Kyun?
Arnav: Kyunki humlog baahar se khana order karenge.
Khushi: Bilkul nahi! Agar aapko baahar se khana bhi hai toh bhi,1 waqt ka khana toh hum ghar par hi khaayenge.
Arnav: Of course not! Tumhe jo bhi khana hai woh Delhi waapis jaane k baad khana.
Khushi: Ghar jaane k baad aap thode hi na humare liye kuch banaayenge? Apne kaam me itne vyast ho jaayenge ki aapko
khaana khaane ka bhi waqt nahi milega! Khaana banaana toh door ki baat hui!
She walks towards the bed,disappointed as hell.
Khushi: Kya-kya socha tha humne? 1 din hum aapse khana banaayenge,1 din hum aapk liye khana banaayenge aur aakhri din dono milkar khana banaayenge!(clicks her tongue)Par aapne sara kaam tamaam kar diya!
She plops down dejectedly on the bed.
Arnav(sits next to her): Relax Khushi!
Khushi: Aap unn dono ko kyun nahi bulaana chaahte hain? Pichhhli baar toh dono ne apnaa kaam sahi dhang se kiya tha.
Arnav: Ha,woh toh kiya tha. But.. main soch raha tha ki iss baar humlogon ko complete privacy milegi toh zyaada achchha hoga. Na koi disturb karega,na koi interrupt karega. Delivery boy bhi bas,5 minute me khaana dekar aur paise lekar chalaa jaayega! Toh..
Khushi: Toh aap kehna chaah rahe hain ki.. hum sara din..
Arnav(completes her sentence): Haan!
Khushi: Kya haan?! (pouts)Aap bhi na Arnavji!
Arnav(arm around her): Okay,jus listen to me. Hum tumhare plans ko thoda sa modify kar de toh? Like.. Aaj ka lunch aur dinner baahar se order kar..
Khushi(interrupts): Par baarish toh aaj ho rahi hai na! Khichdi khaane k liye aaj ka din sabse achchha rahega!
Arnav: Tum aise kyun react kar rahi ho,Khushi,as if aaj k baad kabhi baarish nahi hogi?
Khushi: Aap aise kyun pesh aa rahe hain as if inn 3 dinon k alaava humein kabhi ekaant(privacy) nahi milega?
Arnav lets out an exasperated sigh.
Khushi: Agar aapko khichdi nahi banaani hai toh hum khud hi banaa lenge. Aap bas Raghuji ko bulvaa lijiye.
Arnav: No,thats okay. Main khichdi aur pakore,dono banaa dunga. Aur achaar aur paapad mangvaa lunga.
Khushi: Paapad sekne ya talne padenge..
Arnav: Main tal dunga. Aur koi huqum?
Khushi: Apni pasand ka Hindi,filmy geet chunkar rakhiyega. Aaj shaam hum uss hi par dance karenge!
Arnav: My pleasure! Anything else?
Khushi: Haan. Raat k khaane k liye rotiyaan,1 daal,1 sabzi,boondi raitaa aur gulabjamun kisi Indian hotel se mangvaa lijiyega.
Arnav: Okay. Aur uss k baad?
Khushi: Uss k baad..
She breaks into a song,taking Arnav by surprising.
Khushi(bats her eyelid): Aankhein milaayenge,
(leans closer) Baatein sunaayenge,
(closes her eyes)Palkein bichhaayenge,
(runs a hand thru her hair)Zulfein lehraayenge
(sings louder)Phir kisi din!
Arnav: Toh aaj kya karogi?
Khushi(sings): Aaj sirf khaana khaayenge!
Arnav: What?!
Khushi(continues): Aur phir so jaayenge!
Arnav: Kaise,kaise gaane gaati rehti ho tum!
Khushi: Aapko pataa hai? Jaise aapne humse poochha na,ki aaj kya karogi? Waise hi,iss gaane me hero apni heroine se poochhta hai "Toh phir aaj kya karenge?" Jawaab me heroine kehti hai (sings)Aaj sirf gaana gaayenge!
Arnav: I see!
Khushi: Ji,humne iss gaane ko apne hisaab se..
She stops abruptly when Arnav shakes his head.
Khushi: Sir kyun hila rahe hain?
Arnav: Bas.. yeh hi soch raha tha ki.. you're sucha foodie! (kisses her cheek) Har waqt khaane k baare me sochti rehti ho!
Khushi: Agar hum foodie toh aap sexie!
Arnav(stunned): Sorry?
Khushi: Sorry nahi sexie! Jo khaane k baare me har waqt sochta hai woh food-ie hua toh jo sex k baare me har waqt sochta hai woh sex-ie hua na?
Arnav: Oh,that way?! Mujhe lagaa..
Khushi: Apni taareef sunne ka badaa shauq hai na aapko? Toh theek hai! Hum dil kholkar aapki taareef karenge agar aaj aapne sab kuch humare hisaab se aur dhang se kar diya!
Arnav: Tum meri taareef me woh kahogi jo main chaahta hoon?
Khushi: umm.. achchha,theek hai,kahenge!
Arnav(smiles): Great! Ab tum so jao. Main lunch serve karne se pehle tumhe jagaa dunga.
Khushi: Theek hai.Aap sabse pehle Raghuji ko bulvaaiyye aur khichdi banaane ki vidhi ko yaad kar lijiye! Aur haan,paapad humare jagne k baad taliyega varnaa unme seelan(moisture) ho jaayegi. Aur achaar neembu ya phir aam ka hi mangvaaiyyega!
Arnav: Okay. Aur kuch?
Khushi(smiles): Shuk..
Arnav: No!
Khushi places her index finger on her mouth.
Arnav stares at her for a moment before kissing her finger.
Khushi instinctively parts her lips beneath the finger.
Arnav smirks,gets up & leaves,all within less than a minute.
Khushi(wonders): Yeh humein choome bina kyun chale gaye?
She comes to a conclusion after thinking for a few minutes.
Khushi(wonders): Yeh zaroor unki chaal hai! Socha hoga ki Khushi mujhe choome bina so nahi paayegi aur apneaap mujhe choomne k liye mere paas aa jaayegi! Par Arnavji,agar aap ser hai na toh hum bhi savaa ser hain! Humne sone ki thaan li hai toh hum sokar hi rahenge!
She kisses her engagement ring before lying down & promptly falling asleep.
======================================
*2 hours later*
Arnav enters the bedroom to find Khushi sleeping on her front on the extreme right side of the bed,with one leg dangling
down & both arms wrapped around the pillow.
Arnav sits next to her before pulling her leg back on the bed.
Arnav(pats her back): Uth jaao,Khushi. Lunch is ready!
Khushi groans under her breath,hugging the pillow even closer to herself.
Arnav(shakes her shoulder): Khushi,utho!
Khushi(whines): Sone dijiye na..
Arnav: Tum soti rahi toh tumhari khichdi thandi ho jaayegi..
Khushi: Hum microwave me garam kar lenge. Filhaal humein sona hai..
Arnav(clicks her tongue): Aur kitna so-ogi tum? Chalo,uth jaao.
When Khushi ignores him,Arnav decides to use formula #2.
He lies down next to her & places his leg across hers.
Then he wraps an arm around her waist & tickles her slowly.
Khushi: Arnavjii!!
Arnav: Utho..
Khushi(tries to brush his hand away): Chhodiye humein!
He grabs her hand in a deathly grip.
Khushi(hisses): Ahh! Chhodiye na. Humein sone kyun nahi dete aap?
Arnav: Lunch k baad so jaana.
Khushi: Humein abhi sona hai!
Arnav: Nahi! Abhi uthkar khana kha lo,chalo..
Khushi groans & mutters incomprehensible things.
Arnav: Tum uth rahi ho ya main kuch aur karoon?
Khushi: Uth rahe hain.
Arnav: Good!
He moves aside in order to allow her space to turn to her front.
She slams her fist on his chest upon turning to face him.
Khushi: Nirdayi(merciless) lard governer!
Arnav(half smile): Nirdayi!?
Khushi: Aur nahi toh kya?! Na raat ko sone dete hain na din ko! Arnav: Tumhe khana khaane k liye hi jagaa raha hoon na?
Khushi: hum sab samajhte hain! Jaise hi khaana khatm hoga waise hi jhapat padenge hum par!
Arnav: Nahi jhaptunga,promise! Jaise hi lunch ho jaayega waise hi tum yahaan aakar so jaana,okay? But abhi please lunch karne chalo. Mujhe bahut bhookh lagi hai! Besides,hum dono ko apni medicines bhi leni hai & its already past our lunch time.
Khushi: Theek hai,chaliye..
========================================
Once lunch was over,Khushi helped Arnav in clearing the table.
Arnav: Main kar lunga. Tum jaakar so jaao.
Khushi: Koi baat nahi! Hum itni madad toh kar hi sakte hain aap ki.
She smiles while transferring the leftover khichdi from the pressure cooker to an airtight container.
Khushi: Khichdi bahut achchhi thi!
Arnav(wiping the platform): Aur pyaaz k pakore?
Khushi answers after keeping the container inside the fridge.
Khushi: Thode se.. jal gaye the aur.. teekhaapan kam tha. Par pehli koshish(first attempt) k hisaab se theek the.
Aur paapad bhi.. theek the. Agli baar kuch bhi talne se pehle gas ko bilkul halki aanch(low flame) par kar dijiyega.
Arnav: Sure!
Khushi(concerned): Aapk haathon par garam tel toh nahi udaa na?
Arnav: Nope!
Khushi: Achchhi baat hai! Waise,aapne khichdi banaa kis se seekha?
Arnav(turns to her): Can you guess?
Khushi: Di ne?
Arnav: No.
Khushi: Maa ne?
Arnav: Absolutely not! Now,this is your last chance..
Khushi: Naniji ne?
Arnav: Nope! The correct answer is(pauses)Aman!
Khushi(shell shocked): Kya?! Amanji ne aapko khichdi banaana sikhaaya?
Arnav: Uss ne nahi sikhaaya. Maine usse banaate huye dekhkar seekh liya.
Khushi(slams her forehead): Hey Devi Maiyya! Kya-kya karvaate rehte hain aap Amanji se! Khichdi kyun banvaayi?
Arnav: Its a long story. Kabhi aur bataaunga.
Khushi: Abhi bataaiyye na..
Arnav: Tum chalkar sona chahiye,Khushi..
He walks out of the kitchen with Khushi in tow.
Khushi: Bataaiyye na Arnavji! Aisaa bhi kaunsa raaz hai jo aap humare saath nahi baant sakte,hmm?
Arnav turns around suddenly,scaring her.
Arnav: Choose 1-tumhare sawaal ka jawaab ya nayi position?
Khushi makes a face before saying "Hum sone ja rahe hain!"
Arnav: Thats better!
She descends the stairs after him,marches into her bedroom & slams the door shut.
=======================================
*Later that evening*
ArShi sat on the terrace,sipping tea & ocassionally nibbling gingerbread cookies.
Arnav: Khushi..
Khushi: Ji?
Arnav(looking deep into her eyes): Kya tum.. mujhse kuch kehna chahti ho?
Khushi: woh.. nahi! Matlab.. a.. hum bas.. kuch soch rahe the..
Arnav: Kya?
Khushi: Aapko aur humein dono ko.. yeh penthouse bahut pasand hai!
Arnav: Ha,toh?
Khushi(admits): Toh.. Humein toh lagaa tha ki aap isse khareed lenge.
Arnav averts his gaze & smiles.
Khushi: Par.. aapne aisaa nahi kiya. Kyun?
Arnav(flicks the tip of her nose): Tumhari wajah se!
Khushi(frowns): Ji?
Arnav: Ji haan! Main penthouse khareed leta toh tum mujhse naraaz ho jaati na? Yeh kehti ki main fizool kharch
kar diya! Jab kuch dinon k liye rehna hai toh khareedne ki kya zaroorat thi,kiraaye pe hi le lete,etc,etc. Mujhe yaad hai,jab maine tumhe
yeh bataaya tha ki maine Srinagar ka poora houseboat rent par liya hai toh tum kitni upset ho gayi thi!
Khushi(smiles):Aapne bahut achchha faislaa kiya! Aayinda humein jab bhi Paris aana hoga toh hum pehle se hi iss penthouse ki booking karvaa liya karenge.
Arnav nods while taking a sip of his tea.
Khushi: Waise hum kuch aur bhi soch rahe the..
Arnav: Kya?
Khushi: Aapne jitne bhi kapde humare bag me bhare the woh saare humne pehen liye.
Arnav: I know. If u want,tum woh saree pehen lo jo maine tumhare birthday k liye khareedi thi.
Khushi: Nahi,nahi! Usse hum apne janamdin par hi pehnenge! Hum toh soch rahe the ki aaj hum woh.. halki laal waali saree pehnein jo humne kuch dinon pehle hi pehni thi.
http://buyapparel.in/index.php/kareena-kapoor-red-chiffon-saree-bollywood-replica-sarees.html#14060013104593&108
Khushi: Woh wali jisme..
Arnav(interrupts): Understood! Woh hi pehen lena. Waise, main bhi kuch soch raha tha..
Khushi: Kya?
Arnav: Waapis jaane k baad,kya tum apne red aur lilac chemise pehenogi ya..?
Khushi: Nahi Arnavji.. Ghar par.. uss tarah k kapde kaise..? Aur waise bhi,humein unhe pehenne ki zaroorat nahi padegi.
Arnav: Kyun nahi?
Khushi: Kyunki aapne humein Srinagar se 2 nightgowns dilvaaye the. Unn k alaava humare paas woh 5 salwaar kameez k set hain na,jo hum raat me pehente hain?Woh hi hare,gulaabi,safed,peele aur lavender rang waale?
Arnav(nods): Ha par..
Khushi(interrupts): Toh 5 woh aur 2 gowns milaakar 7 ho gaye. Hafte me toh 7 hi raatein hoti hain. Toh phir hum woh chemise kab pehenenge? Isiliye humne socha hai ki hum unhe teh kar k almaarih me rakh denge. Jab agli baar aapk saath kaheen ghoomne jaayenge na,tab unhe pehenenge,theek hai?
Arnav: Nope! Bilkul bhi theek nahi hai!
Khushi: Kyun?
Arnav: Salwaar kameez toh tum shaadi se pehle bhi pehenti thi aur ab tak pehenti aayi ho. Ab woh puraane ho gaye hain. You need to get rid of them!
Khushi: Achchhe bhale toh hain!
Arnav: No,no,no! Tumhare paas 2 gown aur 2 chemise hain na? *when she nods*Kal main tumhare liye 3 aur chemise lekar aaunga!
Khushi: Areh,par hum woh ghar par nahi pehen paayenge! Samajhne ki koshish kariye naa..
Arnav: Samajh raha hoon. Isiliye main tumhare liye full length k,half sleeves wale robes bhi lekar aaunga,jinhe tum chemise k oopar pehen lena,okay?
Khushi thinks for a few moments before replying.
Khushi: Aapko lana hi hai toh 3 k badle 2 chemise le aaiyyega.
Arnav: 2 kyun?
Khushi: 1 salwaar kameez hum rakhenge,jisse hum hafte me 1 baar pehenenge.
Arnav: umm.. okay,fine! Toh tum woh sea green color ki salwaar kameez rakh lena.(smiles)Uss me tum bahut cute lagti ho!
Khushi: Aur aap?
Arnav: Main kya?
Khushi: Aapne pichhle kuch dinon me jo tamaam kurte-pyjaame pehenein the,unka aap kya karenge?
Arnav: Unhe bhi main rakh lunga,festivals ya koi family functions honge tab pehenunga.
Khushi: Kyun? Hafte me 1 baar toh aap kurta-pyjama pehen hi sakte hain na?
Arnav: I guess you're right!
Khushi: Har itvaar ko hum aapk liye apni pasand ka kurta pyjaama chun kar denge,jisse aap saara din peheniyega,theek hai?
Arnav: Done! Ab chay khatm karo aur phir.. (smirks)get ready for the dance!
Khushi blushes while finishing off the last cookie.
====================================
*Later that night*
Arnav: Ready?
Khushi: Hum toh ready hain par kya aapka gaana ready hai?
Arnav: Of course! Wait a minute..
He takes out a small remote from the pocket of his sherwani & presses a green button.
http://zeenatstyle.com/siddharth-malhotra-in-manish-malhotra-sherwani
Khushi: Yeh kya..
She had barely begun to voice her doubts when she is interrupted by a female voice,who sings..
Khwaab deke jhoothe-moothe
Batiyaan banaaye kaise
Sajnaa anaadi,be-imaan!
Khushi is about to turn in the direction of the voice when she is swiftly pulled into her husband's arms.
Khushi(shocked): Arnavji,aap..
Arnav: Ssshhh! Just listen & dance!
The hypnotizing note in voice compels her to do his bidding.
As he places his arms around her waist,her hands climb up to his shoulders.
Locking his chocolate eyes with her hazel ones,Arnav mouths the lyrics..
Jab bhi dekhe tujho nazar,baby,
Ghaayal ho jaaye jigar!
wo ho,wo ho,woh ho..
Hai yeh mere ehsaason ka asar,baby,
Tujhko maanu humsafar!
wo ho,wo ho,woh ho..
His right hand leaves her waist momentarily to tuck her hair behind her left ear.
Teri har adaa ne mujh pe
Yeh kaisaa jaadu kiya re?
Love the game I wanna play!
(smirks)I'm cravin for your body now!
Khushi's heart skips a beat because of the bold lyrics as well as her husband's smirk.Arnav twirls her as the song continues in the background.
He opened his mouth to say something but stopped short as the next stanza started.
Meri chaahat ko,jaana,
Teri hi pyaas hai!
Mere jeene ki,jaana,
Tu hi toh aas hai!
Tu hi hai manzil meri,
Tu hi ehsaas hai.
Kaise rokun khud ko
Jo itni tu paas hai!?
(He pulls her close)
Aa k tu dekh le,
Dil me kya hai mere!?
Love the game I wanna play!
I'm cravin for your body now!
At first,Khushi was surprised to see him mouthing all the lyrics.
But as the song progressed she realized something.
Khushi: Ab humari samajh me aaya!
Arnav: Kya?
Khushi: Jab hum so rahe the tab aap kya kar rahe the! Aapki taareef karni chahiye humein,Saare bol zubaani jo yaad kar liye aapne!
Arnav: Toh karo!
Khushi pecked his lips just before the last stanza started.
Kaise bataaun tujhe
Baat jiya ki?
Jaanu main toh jaanu saari
Chaal piya ki!
Chain mera loote-loote
Ratiyaan jagaaye mujhe
Sajnaa anaadi,be-imaan!
Khushi blushes upon hearing these lines.
Arnav(mouths): Saansein hai behki-behki,
Paagal armaan mere!
Sochun har pal main chhoon loon
Bheege yeh lab tere!
(quickly pecks her lips)
Kaisi mushqil hai,yaara,
Keh k na keh paaun!
Aise nashe me main
Deewana na ho jaaun!
Waqt madhosh hai,
Mujhko na hosh hai!
Love the game I wanna play!
I'm cravin for your body now!
He takes out the small remote to stop the song.

Translation for Part 104
====================================
*The next morning*
Arnav held Khushi's hand as they walked towards the Eiffel tower.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eiffel_Tower_Bottom.JPG
Khushi: This place is so crowded even though its morning!
Arnav: This place is crowded from morning till night,365 days in a year!
Khushi: You were wise to book the tickets in advance!
Arnav: Ya,I did get them booked but I'm yet to collect them. I thought of leaving you in a comfortable
place in the garden before going ahead to collect the tickets.
Khushi(stops walking): I'll wait over here. You go & get the tickets.
Arnav: You sure?
Khushi: Ya,absolutely!
Arnav: Fine. Wait right here,I'll be back soon.
*******
Khushi smiled as she looked around the place.
She could hear the sounds of laughter & babbling coming from the farther end of the garden.
Khushi(thinks): This garden is ideal for kids! Why just kids? Its actually an ideal picnic spot for the whole family! If we ever visit Paris with our family,I'll make it a point to bring them over here for a picnic! And if.. (sighs)we ever visit Paris with our kids,I'll leave them in this garden to play on their own,without any restrictions! They can run wherever they'd like to run & play whatever they'd want to play!
She smacks her forehead as she comes out of the reverie.
Khushi(thinks): You're too much, Khushi! The kids are not even born yet & you've already made so many plans!
Its like that saying 'Bhains khareedi nahi uss se pehle tay kar liya ki uss ka doodh bechenge ya doodh ki dahi jamaayenge!' *We havent even bought the buffallo yet even then we're confused as to what we want to do with its milk?- whether we want to sell it or we want to set curd with it!*(smiles)Had you said this in front of Arnavji,he wouldve been so angry! He'd have said "What the..!? Now you've started comparing the kids with animals as well! That too with a buffallo?!"
She was busy thinking about Arnav's reactions when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Turning around,she spotted a young couple standing behind her.
Khushi(thinks): They look Chini(Chinese) or Jaapaani(Japanese)..
Woman: Jiang nin dianji wo de zhaopian? (Will you click our photo?)
Khushi(frowns): Ji? (checks herself)I mean.. (gestures)What?
The man made a clicking gesture as he said "foto,foto"
Khushi(realizes): Oh,photo?!
The man nodded & nudged the woman who took out a camera from her purse.
Woman: Foto?
Khushi(nods): Haan,haan. Hum kheench dete hain. (gestures) Dijiye.. *Yes,yes. I'll click it for you! (gestures)Give it here..*
The woman pointed to one of the buttons on the top panel of the camera.
Khushi nodded as if to say she understood.
The couple went & stood closer to the Eiffel tower before posing arm in arm for her.
Khushi clicked their pic & was about to return the camera when the man said "more?"
Khushi: Ek aur?*1 more?*(nods)Okay.
Khushi was shocked when the man kissed his partner's cheek.
Khushi(thinks): Hey Devi Maiyya! They want me to click.. this.. kind of a photo?
She saw the expectant look on the couple's faces and even though she felt embarassed,
she went ahead & clicked their pic.
"More?",asked the man & Khushi's heart flipped inside her chest.
Khushi(thinks): Now I dont know what kind of a pose they will strike for the next pic?
She shook her head vehemently.
Khushi(points to the other side): Humare pati.. a.. my husband is waiting for me. Toh.. maaf kijiyega(sorry) par.. I got to take your leave!
Man: Okay.
Khushi: bye bye!
Woman(smiles): Xie xie!(thank you!)
She placed the camera on the woman's hand,folded her hands in namaste & left the couple alone.
Walking ahead,Khushi didnt know where she could go from there.
Khushi(thinks): I dont even know as to where Arnavji went to collect the tickets? And he'd asked me to wait right there for him. (decides)I should go back. If Arnavji reaches before I do,he'll be worried upon not finding me where he'd left me.
When she turned around,she was relieved to find that the couple had left.
Arnav returned less than a minute after Khushi came back to the place where she was standing earlier.
The sight of him walking towards her,looking smart & suave in the red bandhgala & black trousers,made her heart skip a beat.
http://www.perniaspopupshop.com/ashish-soni-red-bandhgala-jacket-ashc1213010.html
His gel-free hair was slightly dishevelled due to the morning breeze,which made him look extra delectable.
She lowered her gaze as he came & stood right next to her,a tad too close for comfort.
Arnav(nods): Thank you!
Khushi(looks at him): For what?
Arnav(smirks): For appreciating me without opening your mouth!
The color of Khushi's cheeks turned darker than the color of her saree as she lowered her gaze yet again.
http://www.indiansareetrends.com/2012/12/raveena-tandon-in-plain-red-georgette.html
Arnav: Now,shall we go ahead to see the Eiffel Tower or are you satisfied having seen Arnavji?
It started drizzling before Khushi could answer.
She swiftly opened the umbrella and,holding its handle with her left hand,placed it over their heads.
Khushi: Walk fast. We need to get to the bottom of the tower before it starts raining heavily.
Arnav: 1 sec..
He took her right hand in his left & placed their hands on the handle of the umbrella.
Khushi placed her left hand in his right & they resumed walking towards the iconic tower.
=======================================
The ground level had two pillars-The North pillar as well as the South pillar.
There was a bust of Gustave Eiffel,the genius behind the creation of the tower,in the corner of the North pillar.
Then there were the old lifts which had been designed by Gustave but were not used anymore.
Khushi: Why dont they use these lifts anymore?
Arnav: Coz we have computerized lifts now,which are very easy to operate.
Khushi nods as they proceed towards the esplanade between the two pillars.
At its centre was an information desk,where people could seek out any information about the tower.
Apart from that,there were some cash dispensers,souvenier shops and a post office near the South pillar.
Khushi: This part isnt all that fun.
Arnav: We'll have plenty of fun when we go up the tower! Come with me..
************
The lift which took visitors from the ground level to the first level was jam packed.
Khushi felt claustrophobic & waited eagerly for the doors of the lift to part.
She was utterly surprised when the lift opened roughly a minute after they'd stepped in it.
Khushi(shocked): Did we.. reach the first.. floor?*when he nods*So soon!?
Arnav nodded while ushering her out of the lift.
Khushi let out a huge breath upon coming out.
Arnav(concerned): Are you okay?
Khushi(smiles): I'm okay now. I was finding it difficult to breathe while we were in the lift! What would be the height of this floor?
As in,how far is it from the ground?
Arnav: You'll come to know once we go in there..
========================================
The highlight of the first level was the Cineiffel.
It was a televised ladder of eight screens,potraying unique pictures of the tower.
At the top of the ladder was an auditorium which showed film animations recounting the iconic moments of the tower.
There was also an exhibition room which reminded Khushi of Southampton's museum & the exhibition room over there.
Arnav: Khushi..
Khushi: Yes?
Arnav: What happened?
Khushi: Nothing! I was just.. remembering our trip to Southampton's museum.
Arnav: I see.. Shall we go o'er there?
Khushi: Sure!
The guide on the other side of the first level began narrating the history of the Eiffel tower.
Khushi was majorly disinterested in it except for the part where he(guide) mentioned that there were 72 names of
scientists,mathematicians & engineers engraved on the tower,to acknowledge their contributions in their respective
fields.
It immediately reminded Khushi of India Gate & the names of martyrs engraved on its surface.
Khushi(thinks): The French must feel as proud upon visiting Eiffel Tower as we Indians feel when we visit India Gate!
Her thoughts were proved right as the guide told them how people would climb the total of 1710 steps to reach from
the ground level to the topmost level before the lifts had been installed in the tower.
Khushi(thinks): Those people mustve been so eager to see this charismatic tower naa? Thats why they climbed more than 1000 steps to reach the top of it,without worrying about anything! (inquisitive)Apart from the height,there must be something unique about the topmost floor! Thats why people from all around the world still visit this place & go all the way up the tower!
Arnav(pats her shoulder): Where are you lost?
Khushi: n.. nowhere!
Arnav: Then lets go!
That is when Khushi realized that the tourists had moved alongwith the guide to another part of the floor.
There was a restaurant called Le 58 tour Eiffel over there.
Khushi(turns to Arnav): We'll have our breakfast in this restaurant once we finish seeing the other two floors!
Arnav: No,we wont!
Khushi(shocked): Then why did you tell me that we'll have breakfast in Eiffel tower's restaurant?
Arnav: Coz we'll be having it in the restaurant on the 2nd floor. Not now,much later! Now,shall we see the tower?..
Khushi: When did I refuse to see the tower? I was casually enquiring about it..
Arnav: Whatever! Come now..
They joined the rest of the tourists who were busy answering a poll on the color of the tower.
Khushi: What do we have to do?
Arnav: You need to give your opinion. You should select the color which,according to you,would look best on the tower! The color which gets
maximum number of votes will be applied to the tower next time they go for painting & restoration work.
Khushi: Understood.
They followed the tourists into the gallery which was all about the different monuments & important sites in Paris.
Khushi is about to turn in the direction of the voice when she is swiftly pulled into her husband's arms.
Khushi(shocked): Arnavji,are you..
Arnav: Ssshhh! Just listen & dance!
The hypnotizing note in voice compels her to do his bidding.
As he places his arms around her waist,her hands climb up to his shoulders.
Locking his chocolate eyes with her hazel ones,Arnav mouths the lyrics..
Jab bhi dekhe tujho nazar,baby,
Ghaayal ho jaaye jigar!
wo ho,wo ho,woh ho..
Hai yeh mere ehsaason ka asar,baby,
Tujhko maanu humsafar!
wo ho,wo ho,woh ho..
(Whenever my eyes see you,baby,
My heart gets injured!
Its only bcoz of my feelings,baby,
That I consider you as my life partner!)
His right hand leaves her waist momentarily to tuck her hair behind her left ear.
Teri har adaa ne mujh pe
Yeh kaisaa jaadu kiya re?
(Everything you do/say
Has cast sucha spell on me!)
Love the game I wanna play!
(smirks)I'm cravin for your body now!
Khushi's heart skips a beat because of the bold lyrics as well as her husband's smirk.
Arnav twirls her as the song continues in the background.
He opened his mouth to say something but stopped short as the next stanza started.
Meri chaahat ko,jaana,
Teri hi pyaas hai!
Mere jeene ki,jaana,
Tu hi toh aas hai!
Tu hi hai manzil meri,
Tu hi ehsaas hai.
Kaise rokun khud ko
Jo itni tu paas hai!?
(He pulls her close)
Aa k tu dekh le,
Dil me kya hai mere!?
Love the game I wanna play!
I'm cravin for your body now!
(Translation: My love has thirst
Only for you,
You are the reason
For my existence.
You are my destination,
You are my feelings.
How do I control myself
When you're so near!?)
At first,Khushi was surprised to see him mouthing all the lyrics.
But as the song progressed she realized something.
Khushi: Now I know..
Arnav: What?
Khushi: Now I know what you were doing while I was sleeping! I should appreciate you for you've learned the lyrics thoroughly! Arnav: Then what's stoppin you from doin that?!
Khushi pecked his lips just before the last stanza started.
Kaise bataaun tujhe
Baat jiya ki?
Jaanu main toh jaanu saari
Chaal piya ki!
Chain mera loote-loote
Ratiyaan jagaaye mujhe
Sajnaa anaadi,be-imaan!
(How do I tell you
Whats in my heart?
I know about all the tactics
Which my lover uses!
He robs me of my peace of mind,
Keeps me awake the whole night,
My dishonest,good for nothing lover!)
Khushi blushes upon hearing these lines.
Arnav(mouths): Saansein hai behki-behki,
Paagal armaan mere!
Sochun har pal main chhoon loon
Bheege yeh lab tere!
(quickly pecks her lips)
Kaisi mushqil hai,yaara,
Keh k na keh paaun!
Aise nashe me main
Deewana na ho jaaun!
(My breaths are shaky,
My desires are wild!
Every moment I think of
Touching these wet lips of yours!
What kind of problem is this,
No matter how much I try,
I cant tell you about it!
I hope I wont go mad
As a result of this intoxication!)
Waqt madhosh hai,
Mujhko na hosh hai!
(Time itself is intoxicated,
I am not in my senses.)
Love the game I wanna play!
I'm cravin for your body now!
