Arnav : Marry me .
Khushi : Arnav .. Will you leave ASR if I marry you ? Will you be like Arnav ? I don't want you to be Arnav with everyone but be Arnav with your family and me . That's it . I will marry you . Will you be Arnav ?
I asked him politely . My voice did reflect the same pain he had a few minutes ago .
He left me and grabbed a file beside him and threw it on his bed . I got on his nerves again .
His eyes are blood red . His angry glare is making me weak and a cold chill ran across my spine .
He started taking steps forward while as always I took my steps backward .
Arnav : How many times should I tell you that I don't like him ? You can never ever get that idiot back in me even if we get married . How many times Khushi ? How many times will you fight with me for that useless fellow ?
My back hit the French window . He placed his two hands on both the sides blocking my way out .
Arnav : How many bloody times ?
He banged his hand on the wall . I shifted my gaze to the other side .
Arnav : Look at me when I'm talking to you .
Khushi : No I won't .
My tears made my cheeks wet . I'm scared . I'm scared of his wrath .. I'm scared of him .
Arnav : I said Look . At . Me .
I don't want to make him more angry . I looked in his eyes .
The door just opened . I cleared my tears and Arnav moved a step back . Aisha and Manik entered .
Manik : Maami come let's plan what we have to do tomorrow .
Arnav : Maami will come after 5 minutes .
Aisha : Chachu , you come with Masi .
He nodded . They made their way out and Arnav locked the door .
I inched towards the door .
Khushi : I have to go .
He stopped me .
Arnav : No you can't .
I moved to my right and so did he .
Khushi : You don't have any rights to stop me .
I moved to my left and so did he .
Arnav : I do . You are mine .
Khushi : Arnav let me go .
Arnav : I possess you . I claim your rights . Everything you do shall be under my control .
He said with so much desire and passion in his voice .
He is taking steps towards me . I'm moving back .
Khushi : Stop it .
I closed my eyes . He caught me by my waist and pulled me towards himself .
Arnav : I want you very badly Khushi .
Khushi : Arnav please stop it .
Arnav : Do you know how it feels if you ignore me ? Do you know how it feels if your eyes show hatred ? I feel like
I pushed him .
Khushi : Stop talking like Arman ji . Please stop it . You know what ? Aap bhilkul Arman ji ki tarah hai ! Aap mein aur usme koi faraq nahi hai !
He took a step towards and inched back .
Arnav : How dare you compare me with him ? Am I like him ? Did I force you like him ?
Khushi : Yes you are forcing me ! Have you ever thought how I would feel when you kiss me and hug me without my will ? I am not like Swathi or some it her random girl whom you roam with . I am totally different from them . I have completely different morals from them . But I feel you treat me the same way you treat them !
He clutched my arms .
Arnav : Did you even see how I behave with them ? I'm being soft with you . I'm trying to be as soft as I can be with you . I'm more than a beast with them . Aur Uss tarah ki ladkiyon se main iss tarah ki baat nahi karta .
I kept looking at him . Though serious his eyes did spell out the truth ..
He cupped my cheeks .
Arnav : Khushi you are special . Do you get that ? You don't even know how important you are for me ! If I say I love you , I mean it Khushi . I'm not faking all this . And why should I ? I don't mind saying this again and again I . Love . You . Got it ?
His voice converted into a soft one .
Khushi : Toh aap baar baar yeh kyun kehte hai ki aapko Humaari marzi se koi matlab nahi , aap sirf Hume chahte hai . Aise kyun kehte ho aap ? [ Then why do you say again and again that you don't care about my wish , you only want me . Why do you say that ? ]
Arnav : Haan Khushi [ Yes Khushi .] . I want you . I need you very badly because I love you . I love you more than anything . And that is the reason why I want you very badly .
Khushi : Do you even know how others are thinking about you ? They think ..
I closed my eyes .
Khushi : They think you lust me .
I opened my eyes to see him . He is not at all affected !
Arnav : I do lust you .
I'm going to faint now . He says he loves me . And lusts me too . How gross can that be ?
Arnav : It isn't that gross as you think . When you love someone you automatically get attracted to that person . You will surely feel like getting intimate with them and that's natural . Don't tell me that you never saw me in that way !
He stressed the word ' that ' . And the fact is I never did ! I never saw him in ' that ' way . For me love is completely different . And I hate those intimate facts . I hate them . And here he is saying it is natural ! Anyways I'm a coward in those things .
Arnav : Come on Khushi ! Stop being a kid ! Come let's go now . They are waiting for us .
Well I couldn't move . I was thinking about what he said just now .
He caught my hand and took me to the sitting area in the same floor .
Anjali : Finally they came . Your 5 minutes are over ?
Everyone started to laugh . And the kids too joined them although they didn't understand it's meaning .
Akaash : But cancel sarees . We guys are bored seeing in sarees .
Anjali : Say it directly brother . Say that you want to see your Payal in something new .
Everyone giggled seeing the couple blush .
So it is decided that we are not wearing sarees . At least I'm saved from Arnav .
We all planned about food , games and other stuff necessary for the picnic .
Anjali : Happy ? These kids didn't even let me sleep for this planning .
Again we dispersed to our rooms . After stepping inside the guest room , I realised that my bag is still in the car .
I made my way out to the parking lot . I saw Arnav standing outside in the garden with his hands in his pocket . His back is facing me . What is he doing here ?
He turned towards me .
Arnav : Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho ? [ What are you doing here ? ]
He took his steps towards me .
Khushi : Aapko doondthe doondthe hum yaha pohanch gaye . [ I landed here while searching for you ]
Arnav : Is this my dream or something ? You are searching for me ?
When he knows that I will not search for him , why is he saying all this ?
Khushi : I was searching for you in your dreams .
I went towards my car . I opened the door and took my bag .
Arnav : You will search for me one day in reality
Khushi : Never .
I pushed him and started walking fast so that he will not be able to stop me .
But how can I even think that ? He is very fast and he caught up with me in no time .
Arnav : You look so good when you argue with me .
I passed an angry glare .
Khushi : Good night Arnav .
Arnav : Say that in our room .
I stopped .
Khushi : Stop saying that . It's very irritating .
Arnav : What did I say ? Aren't we gonna sleep in one room today ?
Khushi : Stop being over smart Arnav !
Arnav : Hmm angry Khushi . Well I like it . I didn't see you angry in anytime .
Khushi : Uffo Arnav . I hate you .
I started moving again .
Arnav : But I love you .
He called out . I ignored him . I opened the front door and got onto the stairs . Arnav is right beside me . Staring at me . Will he not leave a chance to stare me ?
Arnav : I love to see you .
Khushi : And it is very uncomfortable .
Arnav : Good . It is a proof for me that you get affected .
We both stopped again .
Khushi : What ?
Arnav : Don't tell me that you are unaffected by my acts .
He started moving towards me and automatically I started getting down stairs .
Arnav : I can clearly see what happens to you if I near you , just see you with my eyes , touch you .
We both were getting down the stairs . I skipped one stair and was about fall when Arnav caught me .
Arnav : Careful .
Khushi : How can I when you are around me ?
Arnav : You have to . Don't want to hurt yourself right .
Khushi : I can only hurt my self if you are with me .
Arnav : Well , I will not let that happen . Because I'm always there to save you .
Khushi : Great .
I stormed to my room . My phone beeped .
A message appeared .
Arnav : Good night sweet heart :)
Should I reply him ? Yes or no ? No . I will not .
*********NEXT DAY
I got up early in the morning . I had a good shower . I wore a pink patiala with a purple top and a white sweater .
I didn't want to braid my hair the same way today . I want to try out something new . I braided with five strands .
I went down stairs finding no one . Am I too excited for this picnic ? I am the first one to get ready .
I sat on the sofa . I turned on some music in phone and put the headsets on . I heard knocks on the door .
I got up and opened the door . I found Arnav in his gym suit . He is sweating . His hair is not set . It is all gel free . He looks so good like this .
Arnav : Planning to stop my breath ?
Khushi : Huh ?
Arnav : You are getting prettier day by day . And you changed your dressing style so suddenly . You are looking gorgeous and not to forget your new hairstyle is adding style to your dress .
I never expected him to notice these small things in me .
Arnav : I notice everything in you Khushi .
We both drowned in each other's eyes . I felt the same soft music playing in my heart . Uff . What is this ?
Khushi : Planning to stay outside ?
Arnav : No . Not until you let me in .
I moved a bit . He entered inside . I locked the door . When I turned around I fond myself stuck between the door and Arnav .
Arnav : Why did you get up so early ? Is it for me ?
Khushi : Aap Aaj kal sapne bahot dekh rahe hai . [ You are dreaming a lot these days .]
He smirked .
Arnav : Aur main apne sapno ko sach bana na bhi jaanta hoon [ And I know how to make my dreams come true ]
Khushi : What if you fail ?
Arnav : I will try again . If not successful I will try once more . I will keep on trying until I succeed .
I can clearly see his determination .
Arnav : If it still seems impossible , I can force it too .
Khushi : You can't force everything Arnav .
Arnav : I've struggled hard to gain this power of getting things done in my way . There is no one who can stop it .
Khushi : Over confident ?
Arnav : Strong belief .
He turned around leaving me dumbstruck . Why does he keep changing like weather ? Sometimes he is too arrogant , sometimes he is like a gentleman , sometimes a beast and sometimes my Prince Charming . Is he one of those chameleon or what ?
He turned around with a smirk .
Arnav : Arrogant , beast and what else ?
Khushi : Stop reading my mind !
Arnav : As if you have one !
Khushi : Stop diverting ! This is the last time . You shall never read my mind .
Arnav : How many times should I say that I don't read your mind ?
He stormed to his room .
Uff .. This guy .. What shall I say about him ?
I headed to the kitchen . I thought of to start preparing for the breakfast .
Yesterday the kids said that they wanted to eat aloo paratha . So I started to boil aloo first . Jiji entered the kitchen .
Payal : Khush !! You got up so soon ?
Khushi : Haan jiji .. I couldn't sleep more .
I made the filling and dough for the parathas while jiji made arrangements for other dishes .
We then geared up for the other preparations .
Anjali : Arrey vaah !! You both already started ..
Bhabhi entered the kitchen .
Anjali : Oh .. I'm so sorry for the late .
Payal : Sorry kis baat ki di ? Aap hi toh hamesha yeh ghar sambhalti hai . EK din ki chutti toh banti hai na ? Aaj aap aaram kijiye . Hum aur Khushi yeh sab sambhalenge . [ Sorry for what di ? You are the one who always handles the this house . You have to get a leave . You rest now . Khushi and me will handle this .]
Anjali : Nahi Payu . I don't even know when I will get the chance to work with you both . So I have to use this chance now itself . So no more arguments . Let's get started .
We three started with the work . After some time everyone gathered along with Amma and bua ji in the dining hall .
I was sitting opposite to Arnav .
Arnav : Di parathas are really tasty today .
I stopped eating and looked at him .
Anjali : You know what is special in them ? Khushi made them .
He then looked at me . He had his world famous smirk .
Sudha : Khushi beta ! I didn't know that you will turn out to be such a good cook !
Khushi : Aunty but theese are only parathas .
Everyone started laughing . Did I crack a joke ? Then why are they laughing ?
Then everyone started to praise me .
Arnav : They are Wonderful Khushi .
Khushi : Thank you .
After our breakfast we packed everything .
Shyam : All the senior citizens in that car . And all of us in this car .
Bhayya announced . I wanted to go with Aunty and uncle . I said the same to him .
Shyam : Come on Khush . What will you do there ? We all our young ones . We will have a blast .
I nodded and got inside . Shyam bhayya was driving the car . Bhabhi sat beside him .
I sat beside Arnav . Beside him it was jiju and next to him of course it is jiji . And at the back both the kids settled .
Manik convinced jiji that Aisha will be safe in the back .
We all started talking about random things and were cracking jokes and laughing a loud . Both the kids in the back were engrossed in some game .
I was teasing both the couples . Making jiji and Bhabhi blush hard . I teased about the crimson red colour on their cheeks .
Don't know why all of a sudden everyone except jiji started teasing me and Arnav . I somehow diverted the topic .
Now we started to play a game . Arnav caught my hand in the middle of the game with his smirk . I couldn't speak anything , and now it is my turn .
Arnav : Kya hua Khushi ? [ What happened Khushi ? ]
I looked at him .
Arnav : Kya hua ? Tumhaari bhari hai kuch toh bolo ! [ What happened ? It's your turn now , say something . ]
Khushi : Jab aap hamaari haat chodenge tab hum kuch baat kar sakte hai . [ When you will leave my hand , then I can talk something ]
Bhabhi , bhayya and jiju started to laugh . Arnav left my hand .
Khushi : Kya hua ? Ab aapki Bolti bandh kyun hogayi ? [ What happened ? Why aren't you speaking now ? ]
Even I started laughing with jiji .
