Beautiful update

Arnav is taking Khushi to a couples party

Can't wait to find out what will happen at the party

Arnav's phone beeped.

'Where were you last night? I had been searching for you everywhere' he read.

'Long story La, will tell you...later ^__^' he typed and clicked on the send button.

He was standing nearby the stairs in a black 3-piece suit, his one hand in pockets and the other occupied by his Phone. His hair perfectly gelled.

'Is everything alright?'

His phone beeped again just after a second.

Arnav smiled at Lavanya's concern.

'Yep. All well'

He hit the send button and looked up glancing at the start of the stairs and sighed. Khushi was still not down yet and he has been waiting for her since 15 minutes.

He checked his wrist watch that showed 15 minutes past 7. There was still much time. A small smile broke out on his lips and he shook his head remembering how hard it was to convince Khushi to accompany them to the party.

She wasn't ready thinking that she would be looking out of place and maybe it would be just awkward for her and God knows what other insecurities she had in her mind. It had taken time but eventually she agreed because of Anjali who encouraged her.

There wasn't a reason but two reasons of forcing Khushi to accompany them. First Aakash who wanted Khushi to be with him as a support pillar because she's the only one who's trustworthy for him in this matter.

Second, she hasn't been out of the Mansion even for a sec after Dhruv's death and everything all that happened after it was really depressing and Arnav didn't want her to get affected by being in the confines of four walls of Shantivan. That would be a nice change for her and would let her breath freely in the fresh air.

His phone beeped again with Lavanya's message and as he unlocked his phone with a swipe of his finger, he heard the footsteps descending down the stairs forcing him to look up.

He was sure his breath hitched for a moment in his throat. His gaze traveling down Khushi's form as she slowly and very obliviously stepped down every step, adjusting the end of her sari and flipping her hair back occasionally as they tickled her neck irking her completely.

While Arnav stilled and kept staring at her without a blink until his phone rang with a shrill sound making him flinch for a moment and then his jaw tightened as he realized what was he doing.

He quickly looked away not before glancing at Khushi with the corner of his eyes once.

What was he doing? Being shameless!

It suddenly made him feel extremely weird and he shook his head. Yes his Bhabhi did look amazingly elegant in that black netted sari and he was gawking at her.

Awkward!

It was Lavanya's call but he put his phone in the silent mode, placing it back in pocket.He then looked up at Khushi who finally reached down and smiled at him.

Lavanya, in her room sat cross-legged squinted her eyes confusingly as Arnav didn't pick up her call.

"Hmm" Arnav tapped his finger on his chin thoughtfully making Khushi conscious of herself as she looked at herself again tucking hair strands behind her ear as they came over her face when she bent her head down. She now stared at Arnav hesitantly.

"You don't look bad" he shrugged and Khushi gulped.

She knew it the moment she checked herself in the mirror. She wasn't looking her best and was unaware of the reason.

Khushi just stared at him fidgeting with her fingers nervously.

"R-really?" she smoothed her sari with her hands but stopped when she suddenly caught Arnav's secret teasing smile.

Arnav quickly hid his smile as Khushi narrowed her eyes at him. Arnav chuckled at her and gave her an okay sign making her smile at him and walk towards him.

"Well, you don't look bad either" she said with a lop-sided and Arnav cleared his throat, straightened himself and adjusted his tie dramatically before hooking his arm with hers.

Khushi giggled and as they turned around, Anjali appeared grinning wide at Khushi.

"Arey wahh. Khushi Ji aap to kitni sundar lag rahi hain" Anjali praised tucking her finger under her chin.

And in return Khushi smiled at her, her eyes twinkling with mirth.

"Don't you think Di, Bhabhi should wear dark colors more. It suits her. Ain't it?" he raised his eyebrows and Anjali agreed smilingly.

"Yes. Of course. Don't worry. Me and Khushi Ji will soon go on a shopping spree." She said and giggled high-fiving with Khushi, not realizing that all this while her smile had dimmed.

"Where's Aakash? You guys are getting late?" she said and Arnav nodded.

"He must be coming. We'll wait for him in the car" he said and Anjali nodded before coming towards him and twisting his ear.

"Oww Di"

"Aur Khabardaar agar Khushi Ji ko tang kiya. Take care of her" she said releasing him.

Arnav glared at her and rubbed on his ear.

"Khushi Ji, if he does anything to you...you'll inform straightaway" said Anjali to Khushi making Arnav narrow his eyes at her angrily.

"Di. Do I look like a Dracula to you. I'm not going to eat her away" he said and Anjali rolled her eyes.

Khushi chuckled and held her hands.

"Di. Hum thhodi na koyi chhoti bachi hain. You just take care of yourself and don't stress much "she said and Anjali smiled at her nodding.

"Hello" Arnav spoke into his phone when it vibrated in his pocket.

"I'm sorry" he muttered to Lavanya and glanced at Khushi, gesturing her to follow him to the car afterwards and left.

"Bhai left?" Aakash came there rushing.

"Oh ohkay" he muttered after finding Khushi standing there still with Anjali.

He drew in a deep breath. It was a big day for him and he was surely going to surprise Payal with his surprise and he just hoped, Payal didn't have any bigger reason behind her reluctance than what he's assumed.

"Let's go" he said to Khushi who nodded at her.

"Best of luck my brother" Anjali teased and nudged making him give her a hesitant smile.

"Thanks Di" he said and Anjali giggled.

"Nervous?" Khushi whispered as they walked alongside towards the exit of the Shantivan.

Aakash nodded, pursing his lips.

"Relax" Khushi blinked at him with assurance and Aakash was sure, he had relaxed, flashing a smile in Khushi's direction.

*

Payal fidgeted with her fingers as she walked towards the venue. Her eyes down-casted. Don't know why but she wasn't feeling good after coming to this place where Arnav had called her to come.

Something just didn't seem right to her.

She wondered and walked straight when her gaze fell on Aakash who was probably waiting for her outside the venue, pacing in front of the automatic door. His hand running in his hair occasionally messing up with his gelled hair. He was looking handsome and Payal gulped, straightening herself.

Aakash heaved a sigh when he finally saw Payal walking towards him. He smiled and let himself drown in her beauty as he gazed at her intently.

"Hi" He said with a smile, a little breathlessly.

Payal looked at him and nodded.

"Hi" she whispered and removed her gaze from him while Aakash kept staring at her making her shiver.

"Where is everyone?" she asked after a moment.

"It's just you and me" he spoke up and she snapped her head up with surprise.

She wasn't here because of Aakash but because of others.

"Urh...I mean. Bhabhi and Bhai are already inside and others didn't come because everyone had some or other important work. Bhai had called them but they refused." he completed and Payal stared at him for a moment before nodding.

"C'mon" he said letting her lead the way.

*

"Arnav you had said that others are coming too?" she said glancing at Aakash.

"Others? Who? Why would-" he stopped a waiter for a drink and then continued.

"Why would they come?" he asked confusedly and Aakash widened his arms at Arnav who unintentionally ignored him.

"But Aakash said that you had asked to them to come?" she asked and he shook his head denying and chuckled.

And Aakash smacked his head, looking down.

"I didn't-" he stopped when Khushi poked his side with her elbow and flashed a tight smile to Payal who narrowed her eyes.

"He means why they would come when they all had some important work to do" she spoke up and Payal remained quiet and glanced at Aakash who gave her a 'told you' look.

"But how suddenly everyone got so busy?" she muttered almost to herself but it was heard by everyone.

"Aren't you enjoying our company?" Khushi asked and Payal immediately shook her head with a smile.

"Of course I am" she said and Arnav just stared at them.

And then suddenly there was an announcement made for the pairs to join the dance floor for a fun game which was something dancing on the newspapers.

"Great. Let's do this. C'mon Aakash and Payal" Arnav smiled at them and they glanced at each other before giving Arnav a surprised look.

"What?" he asked with a chuckle and then tilted his head at Aakash who looked at Payal nervously.

"No I'm better here. I don't wanna join" she said shifting closer to Khushi.

And Aakash's face fell.

"Me and Bhabhi are joining too" he said and Khushi turned to look at him with wide questioning eyes.

Arnav titled his head at her and then as if understanding, she nodded and smiled at Payal. She lifted her toes and whispered in Arnav's ear as he was quite taller.

"Arnav, I can't dance. What if we fell down or i make you lose. I'm wearing a sari?" she asked.

"We are not participating to win but to make them win" he said glancing at Payal and Aakash who were stealing glances.

Khushi smiled mischievously at him and he raised his collars making her chuckle.

*

Khushi raised the hem of her sari a little and stepped on the newspaper with her one hand now taking its place on Arnav's shoulder and the other one went round his neck while his hands remained on her waist fitting perfectly but both unaware of the fact.

And then a song boomed and the pairs started moving but careful of not stepping out of the paper.

Behke behke nain

Cheene dil ka chain

To ye pyar hai

Koi intezar karde bekaraar

To ye pyar hai

Payal was more careful to keep her eyes down-casted while Aakash was longing to look into those caramel eyes.

The papers were folded now and he couldn't help but pull her closer to himself, encircling an arm around her waist.

The game was getting interesting with the partners pulling each other closer and being careful.

Sanse ulajti jaye

Aankhe sapne dikhlaye

Jab anjaane

Payal looked curiously at Arnav and Khushi as they were instead of dancing, distracting others from concentrating that really confused her to an extent.

What were they doing? Do they really want to win so badly this game?

And then she gasped when a couple got eliminated because of Arnav and Khushi's trick they were playing on everyone except them while they shared a silly and silent laugh.

And then she felt herself being pulled hard by Aakash, their chest rubbing.

"Where is your attention?" he asked in a slow voice.

She just shook her head and looked back at Arnav and Khushi, they were still doing the same thing.

And the music changed that was quite slower than the first one but the game was getting harder with many pairs now getting eliminated as the newspapers were folded again leaving a very small space for the pairs to stand and quite close.

Ishq bulava jaane kab aave

Ishq bulava aave jab aave

The newspapers were folded again and this time very less space so that the one has to stand on the partner's feet.

Khushi carefully stepped on Arnav's toes and they swayed with his hand now encircled around her waist.

But unfortunately both were oblivious to their proximity nor they tried to pay any heed, they just needed to enjoy this game and somehow make Payal and Aakash win it.

Arnav's gaze fell on Khushi who was looking the other side, her side profile in display. Her cheeks had a natural tinge of red, he realized.

They both smiled at each other and continued to sway.

Tainu takdi rawaan

Naina 'ch tere main vasdi ravaan

Paagal main khud nu banaunda ravaan

Tu hansdi rave, main hansanda ravaan

Tainu takda ravaan

Everything was going well and very trickily Arnav and Khushi were ousting slowly and steadily everyone until Arnav stepped on the hem of Khushi's sari.

Khushi's eyes widened as she stumbled on Arnav's feet and he lost his balance and then they were fallen on the floor, the paper slipping away from their feet.

Arnav scrunched his eyes, the moment his back hit the hard floor with Khushi atop him. His hand still around her waist but now the grip was more powerful.

While Khushi's head dipped in the crook his neck and her hands crumpled a fistful of his suit. Her eyes shut tight.

For a moment or so, they kept lying down there in the same position, their hearts drumming loudly.

Arnav slowly opened his eyes and drew in a deep breath, throwing his head back. The floor was quite hard and that wouldn't be right for Arnav to say it wasn't hurting him at the moment.

He gulped and then looked down at Khushi who slowly at exact time lifted her head, their eyes meeting. They didn't blink neither looked away, their eyes remained locked.

But then, their lips curved up in smile before they both broke into maniac laughter. Their heads tossed back and involuntary his grip on her waist tightened more.

But slowly the sound of their laughter died and they looked into each other's eyes. That same small smile returning back on their lips.

But not able to resist, they laughed again and Khushi sank her head in his chest slightly shaking it.

"We look super idiots" she muttered chuckling and Arnav laughed more, his laughter rumbling and body shaking.

"I know" he replied.
