#2 ArShi FF: Waves Of Destiny*Chap 33*pg100*30/3 - Page 49

KHUSHI?

Arnav called for Khushi as he entered the dark living room of his living room.

"Khushi? Kahan ho?"

He called again dropping his laptop on the nearby couch and was about to call her from his mobile to call her cursing him for letting her back home on her own as he had some work and he'd be late. It was already nearing midnight. But before he could dial came a message from Khushi asking him to reach to their Terrace garden after changing. Arnav frowned. Terrace garden has become personal lair for Khushi in these 6 months of their marriage while Poolside garden was his. Why was she calling him there now? At this time of night? Still he made his way to the terrace garden after a bath and changing to his casual tracks.

He saw a row of Red roses making way for him to get in. His frown deepened. He moved in and saw a set of candles lit on one corner of the terrace where was a beautiful sight awaiting him.

There were set of 4 pots with 2 on each side which joint together in the middle with their buds. But that was not the sight that took Arnav. It was the plant itself in the beginning since it was one RARE plant in India and one with Flowers are not easy to find.

They were plants of BrahmaKamal, also known as The Night Queen because they bloom at sometime in midnight and die before dawn. Finding one of them was some task, But here there were 4?

Beyond these stood his wife in beautiful but simple Red Saree looking at him with her beautiful hazel eyes from behind the square of her spectacles.

Like in a daze he walked to her, but trying not to disturb the Night Queen plants as he reached her. Her hands were holding her pallu and were playing with it like when she used to while tensed. Upon an instinct, he held her hands in his grips.

"Khushi?"

Khushi gulped. His grip grew strong.

"What is going on Khushi? Yeh sab kya hai? And where did you get these Brahmakamal from? That too with buds?"

"Shh"

She said gaining her strength from his hold. Then her hand turned in his hold and she looked down at the watch in his wrist. It was just 20 seconds to 12.

"Khushi? What.."

But Khushi pulled him to the corner that leads to terrace room that has facilities for a person to stay. Not that Arnav ever stayed there.

Once he moved inside Arnav stood transfixed. The room was completely changed and it was glowing in candle light and smelling like many erotic flowers, but still managed to be pleasant. The bed had new sheets with flower arrangements too. Before he could take in everything or question her, Khushi left him and rushed to a food cart in the corner and pulled it out to the garden. Then pulled him along too.

When his watch glowed showing 12 am, Khushi lit a cake candle and opened the cart revealing a beautiful Cake that had texture of Choco cream Flowers arranged on every side with Strawberry lollipops standing them in heart shape.

Khushi placed the candle on the centre of the heart structure and looked up at her with the candle lights and moon light reflecting in her hazel orbs giving a very beautiful luster to her expressive eyes.

"Happy 6th month Anniversary Arnav"

Her husky voice made his blood rush in his veins. At that time Arnav saw a very beautiful site. Two of the Brahmakamal Buds were blooming into beautiful white flowers. Arnav raised his eyes to Khushi who gave him the knife. She was a sight to behold in this surrounding for him.

They cut the cake and fed each other. Arnav like a good boy went through with everything without any mischief as he saw how tensed Khushi was. But he could not lid his questions anymore. So once they were settled inside the room on the decorated room. He turned to her and held her hand that was fidgeting her pallu.

"Khushi?"

"Did you like?"

"I did. Now I would Like some answers Khushi. What is this 6th month anniversary and all?"

"Woh.. Its been 6 months since we got married.. Arnav please don't interfere! Its already difficult enough to tell this!"

Arnav Shrugged and nodded his head asking her to continue.

"In these 6 months we went through so much. You married me by force. WAIT ARNAV! But I also saw that you took care of all my wishes regarding my wedding. From then on, our journey started as husband and wife. I know I am blabbering Arnav! Don't cut in please (taking deep breath, she continued) But we found our friendship in our marriage, which we lost or at least that is what I thought. But then, you confessed your love to me. Not once. But you have been doing it since. In between you also showed me hell many times by inviting death to your door steps!"

"Now that is exaggerating Khushi! It was just sugar and a small fight"

"Like hell Arnav! Do you know what I went through when you were unconscious in the hospital?"

"Sorry!"

"You better be!"

"But you care!"

"Of course I care damn it!"

"Why?"

"Because I love you! I Love you damn it!"

She raised her voice holding his collar. In contrast to the rage filling Khushi's eyes, Arnav smirked. A slow sexy smile. His hands covered hers that were on his shirt collar.

"It took you so much time to say this?"

He said bringing her hands down. But Khushi frowned.

"It was you who took so many years to realize Arnav!"

"And you took so many years to say.. So we are even. What say Chashmish?"

He asked leaning in. His husky voice was sending ripples down her every nerve ending. And he could feel warmth spreading on her cheeks. Not wanting to miss his chance, he placed his lips on one of her cheeks as his palm came on the other.

Khushi gasped and opened her eyes wide for a minute before closing it again revelling in the feel. His thumb slowly was drawing circles on her cheek. He could feel her warm breath same way Khushi could feel his near her ears.

"A.. Ar.. Arnav?"

"Yes?"

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know! You tell me!"

"Did you like my gift?"

"Brahmakamal?"

Khushi nodded her head not withstanding his heat. Arnav held her cheeks and lifted her face to look into his.

"Where did you get them Khushi? You know its very rare to get one! Let alone four and with flowering buds."

"Through Sameer I got to know they were in one Particular nursery in SriLanka. Since they were becoming high maintenance for the person, I asked Sameer to get them here. I knew that you were in search of Queen of Nights for years. And in Badrinath since they were very sacred you were not allowed to bring them here."

"Khushi do you know how costly these are?"

"Does it matter? You are happy?"

"When my Chashmish is Happy how can I not be? But.."

"Then just drop it! just enjoy it. And I especially took care of them and bought the ones that would have bloomed on the exact moment."

"And they did! Best gift ever! One that was given to me in return of nothing Khushi! I love you!"

"I know!"

"Nah! You say it"

He said smirking. Khushi's cheeks reddened more if possible. She just shook her head.

"Ahan! Then I will make you say"

There was challenge in his eyes. Along with desire that she tried to keep aside all these time and lost the battle.

"You challenge me!"

Arnav whispered as he pushed her back on the bed. Khushi squealed. She put her hands on his chest who was on her. He ran his nose over her face making her breath shallow. Her hands that were on his chest slowly went around his neck pulling him close. He smirked.

"Khushi! You look beautiful in this Red Saree. Red is my favorite color."

"I know! That's why I wanted Red in my Shaadi ka Joda"

Her voice was as husky as his.

"Now I see my color on you. I like it but not with this saree disturbing it"

He kissed on her maang where sindoor was telling the world that she was his. Simultaneously he pulled her pallu and had her out of the saree in moments. Khushi had had enough as he was escaping her lips that were very eager to meet his.

Arnav chuckled at her urgency as he felt her hands going under his T shirt. He pulled it over his head and went back to her. Slowly her saree and blouse joined his Tee on the floor. Khushi who already by thoughts was his, today completely was becoming his and he like a man in love with his woman cherished her.

Marking their beautiful start as a Man and Wife in all senses, the other two BrahmaKamal buds bloomed outside in garden blessing them along with the twinkling star and glowing moon in the sky that night.

On the other side, Shyam was sitting on his rocking chair on the poolside looking at the starlit sky smirking.

"Arnav Singh Raizada! Get ready to see your end. It starts with that teeny wife of yours. Khushi Singh Raizada!"

Somewhere in the Delhi city..!

A man stood watching the human size photoframe in which stood a picture of Anjali.

"You did not do right by me Anjali..! You are going to pay for it.. Heftily"

Bye😃

Sorry for the delay
