Khushi wiped at her tears as she ran through the beautifully decorated halls.How could he? Why did he lie to her? What else had he lied to her about?
Khushi.What a beautiful name.I personally think it suits you.
I don't like liars Khushi
I am friends with the royal family
There's something about you I really like.I don't know what but I would like to see you again
I want to marry for love Khushi not for a big dowry.I am not buying a wife
I would never betray my wife but I would expect her to be faithful in return
If I were to marry for love I would never marry again even for a heir
"Such a liar" she said in a small voice "How could he keep such a big thing from me.He expects me to be honest but can't do the same in return"
Khushi ran outside and towards the open gates.
"Lock the gates!"
Khushi didn't dare turn around to see Arnav.She ran faster,grabbing bunches of her dress in her fist.The guards were already at the gates and closing it.By the time Khushi got there they had even locked it.
"Khushi"
Khushi reluctantly turned around to see Arnav.He was much more handsome up close even though he was only a couple of feet away from her.Khushi held up her head.
"Your highness" Khushi said through gritted teeth "I hope you remember the incident when I burped in front of the man who was shamelessly staring at me" Arnav stared at her confused.Khushi continued "I am not exactly a lady,remember"
Khushi jumped on to the gates and climbed them as fast as she could.She bumped her face against the top of the gate but jumped down to the other side and ran.
******************************************
Arnav gaped after her.He knew she sometimes didn't exactly act like a lady but climbing a 20 feet high gate was really something.The guards were aghast.
Arnav noticed something red on the ground.He bent down and picked it up.It was a small piece of Khushi's mask.
******************************************
A month passed by.Arnav kept holding balls but Khushi never appeared.Arnav only knew because his eyes were always glued to the entrance.
One day Arnav's mother approached him "Arnav" Sanjana said in order to get his attention.
Arnav dragged his eyes from the small red piece of Khushi's mask "Yes"
"Are you okay?"
Arnav sighed "I don't know"
"Your father is expecting you to take on a bride soon"
He closed his eyes "I know"
"What are you going to do? He's getting impatient"
Arnav held up the red piece in his hand "This will decide my bride" he declared.
Sanjana frowned "I don't understand"
"Whoever's mask this red piece fits perfectly will be my bride"
******************************************
The next day there was an uproar.The price of masks shot up as ladies continued to bought them.
Payal opened the door to Khushi's bedroom and rushed towards Khushi.Payal shook Khushi awake from her slumber.
Khushi muttered a curse "Payal" she whined "Not now"
Payal continued to shake her "The prince is looking for you Khushi"
That grabbed her attention.She sat up "What!"
Payal nodded "Remember the ball in which he unmasked himself and you ran away.Apparently a small piece of your mask broke off and he got a hold of it.He announced that whoever's mask the piece fits will be his bride"
Khushi opened the drawer to her nightstand and pulled out the mask.Just like Payal had said,there was a small piece missing from the corner of her mask.It must have fell off when she jumped over the gates,Khushi realized.
Khushi looked at Payal and realized she was waiting for a reply.She looked away "So?"
"The man's looking for you Khushi.Why don't you go put him out of his misery-"
"Misery" Khushi stood up "He lied to me Payal but expected me to be honest to him.I don't care if he's a prince.I refuse to tell him who I am"
Payal sighed "But Khushi,I really think he likes you,perhaps even love"
"It matters not.I will not reveal my identity"
******************************************
Arnav groaned as he took a peek at the line of ladies.It was never-ending.He wasn't even sure if Khushi was in the line.
Here he was sitting at a table,Akash sitting beside him and viewing masks of ladies.
Ever since Arnav had announced that he would marry the woman who's mask fit the piece he had each woman had gone out to buy a mask and rip out a chunk of it.The merchants were probably praying this never ended,he thought slightly amused.
He sighed and nodded at the woman before him.He took the mask from her and didn't even bother try to connect the piece to her mask.It wasn't even the same color.
He looked at the woman "It's not even the same color.I am sorry"
She gave him a seductive smile "Tell me what you want and I'll be just that"
Arnav rolled his eyes "Next" he called out.
When the next woman left Akash slouched "All these pretty women and none of them even want to meet me" he pouted.
"Keep looking" Arnav ordered.
Akash made a face but did as he was told.
******************************************
"Khushi Khushi Khushi"
"What what what" Khushi mimicked.
Payal rolled her eyes "It's been two weeks.He's still looking for you"
"I don't care"
"But-"
"I don't care" Khushi repeated.
Payal pouted "Fine but listen.We've been invited to a party tonight"
"Oh? By who?"
"Um my..cousin"
"Which cousin?"
"Oh who cares who the blasted cousin is" Payal burst "Wear a dress and a mask"
Khushi frowned "Mask?"
"Yeah.It's a masquerade party"
"Oh okay" Khushi hesitantly agreed.
******************************************
"I highly doubt she's going to come.She never did before"
Akash shook his head "She will be here.Trust me"
"I wish" Arnav muttered as he put on his coat for the ball.
******************************************
Khushi threw a fit when she realized Payal had fooled her into coming to the palace "Payal what are we doing here!" Khushi roared as she tried to push Payal out of the way in front of the carriage "I am not going to the ball"
"Well too bad.I want you guys to reconcile.So what if I haven't seen his face.Just you two standing next to each other is cute enough"
Payal pushed Khushi inside.Khushi gritted her teeth.
When they reached to the ballroom,slowly the crowd began looking at her.The voices died away and a hush fell over.Khushi gulped.Why was everybody staring at her?
A man emerged from the crowd.Khushi knew without a doubt that it was Arnav.He looked devastatingly handsome with his white coat but even Khushi could tell from the frown he wore that he was not happy.
Khushi readjusted her new mask.It was a nice shade of sky blue.Her original mask had been red to match her dress but this time she wore blue.She really hoped Arnav would not recognize her.Arnav made his way up to her and looked at her and Payal with scrutinizing eyes.Khushi tightened her grip on her small purse in which she had kept her original mask.Why she had brought it,she didn't know herself.
"May I see your invitation cards?"
Khushi blinked.Invitation cards?
Payal shot out her arm towards Arnav with two square cardboard pieces of paper "Here" she said.
Arnav took those cards and looked at the carefully.Khushi bit her lip.What was going on?
Arnav looked at her as if sensing her thoughts "You'll have to come with me ma'am"
"W-Why?" Khushi stammered.
He ignored her question "This way please"
Arnav walked through the crowd.Khushi hesitantly followed him.She threw a glare at Payal over her shoulder who was giving her a smug look.Khushi pressed the mask closer to her face hoping for a sense of protection.Khushi followed Arnav up the grand stairs and hesitantly into a room.
"Is there a problem?" Khushi asked trying to channel her voice.
He took off his mask and looked at her "Yes.You are"
Khushi tried breathing calmly "I-I don't un-understand" She panicked when Arnav closed the doors "What are you doing your highness!"
Arnav locked them and frowned at her.He walked up to her with measured steps.He stopped when he was very few feet away.
Khushi's heart raced.What was going on? What was he planning to do? Did he know who she was?
What was in those invitation cards that made him want to talk to her? And that too alone?
Or did he do this with any woman he liked...
No,Khushi argued in her mind.Arnav wasn't that kind of man.
But he did have lots of money and not to mention the highest standing in society.His composure demanded respect.Khushi swallowed.
Arnav took her purse from her and opened it.Khushi widened her eyes "What are you doing sir! That's my purse"
Arnav completely ignored her and took out the mask.He took out a small red piece that had been missing from her mask out of his pocket.Khushi held her breath.
Arnav looked at her.He threw the mask and the piece near her feet.Khushi looked at him astonished "I don't need a mask to know that you're the one that stole my heart" he said.
"Wh-What no-nonsense" Khushi spluttered.
Arnav all but ripped the mask off her face.Khushi gasped.Before she could say a word Arnav grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.He pressed himself against her.Khushi gave him an outrageous look.
"Your highness! This is scandalous! If someone were to find us-"
"We would have to marry" Arnav completed for her "That's exactly what I want"
"But..But..But-"
"I love you Khushi"
Khushi's breath left her in a swoosh "What" she whispered.
"I love you" he repeated calmly.
"You...do" she said with small tears shimmering in her eyes.
"I do Khushi.I'm sorry for lying.This entire ball was meant so that I could find that perfect someone for me and I found her in you"
"How did you know if I'm even the same girl that met you at the ball before you brought me here?"
"Your eyes" When Khushi gave him a confused look,he elaborated "Your eyes are the perfect shade of hazel.They are so deep they have their own hidden meaning.They express everything you try to hide.The tiniest sparkle that happens when you are nervous or happy.I knew it was you"
"But..But...But-"
Arnav kissed her.Khushi didn't even bother try to push him away.She grabbed his nicely pressed collar and crumpled it in her fist.The man really knew how to kiss,Khushi had to give in.God,how could she have tried to forget him or this that they shared? He was perfect.He wasn't like those other obnoxious men and she loved him for that.
Love?
Was she in love? Khushi sighed between their kiss and knew it was true.Sadness spread through her body.They couldn't have a future together.He was a prince and she...
She was merely a small business woman.
Why would he ever feel anything such as love towards her.
But did that mean her wanted her as his mistress...
Khushi snapped her mouth shut and pushed Arnav away,which was pretty hard to do considering he had a body of steel.
"Khushi" he said softly.
"I will not be your mistress" Khushi said in a hard voice.
