Unspoken Love

Chapter 32

Arnav took Khushi to his car.

"Get in...!" he said.

Khushi was very confused. Where was he taking her? She stood at the door wondering. Arnav walked around to the driver's side and he was about to get in when he saw Khushi standing like a statue.

"Oh hellow!! I told you to get in...!! What are you thinking?!" he asked.

Khushi was clueless about what was happening and what was going to happen. "Where are you taking me?!" she asked nervously.

Arnav smiled and said, "You get in first... I will tell you on the way...!!" said Arnav.

Khushi reluctantly got in and Arnav began driving to their destination.

"Tell me now atleast... Where are we going?" asked Khushi.

"To my home...!" said Arnav. Khushi was surprised.

"Your home?! What is so urgent?! I mean... why so suddenly... and... and why me?! And why didn't..."

"Khushi...! Shhh... Kitne sawaal poochhti ho yaar! You will know when we reach...!!" he said. How many questions do you ask yaar!

Khushi was surprised at his casual way of talking. He said "yaar" for the first time while talking to her. And she was pleased to hear it.

Both were quiet. Arnav was silently driving the car, frequently glancing at Khushi who was looking out of the window. "What will Khushi's reaction be? Will she like it? Or will she not? I am sure she will love the surprise!! What will she think of me after that? Will everything still be the same between us?" thought Arnav. He was very excited to see Khushi's reaction after revealing the surprise to her.

They were on their way. Something was missing. That's what Arnav felt. But what? Something was not as usual. Arnav was trying to know what was so unusual. And then he realized... The silence! Khushi hadn't spoken a word since a long time. She was constantly looking outside the window. She looked at him once and when he saw her she turned her face away. It was clear that she was upset. Was she angry that he forced her to come with him? Arnav wanted to know the reason for Khushi's strange behaviour.

"Khushi..." he said, "What happened? Why are you not saying anything?!"

Looking out of the window, Khushi bluntly said, "Nothing...!"

Arnav saw Khushi's fingers entangled in each other. She was caressing her own hand.

"Khushi" he paused, "I am sorry I held your hand and forced you to come with me... But..."

Khushi instantly turned to Arnav and said "I don't have a problem with that...!!" Khushi again turned her face towards the window.

Arnav was surprised. "What?! She doesn't have a problem with me holding her hand...?!!" he thought. "But then what's her problem?" he wondered.

"Then why are you upset? Are you upset with me? Talk to me Khushi...!!" he said impatiently.

"You want to talk to me?!" said Khushi. She was hurt. "If so, why didn't you call me then?!!" she said.

Khushi's sudden attack made Arnav press the brake. Arnav was confused. He didn't understand what Khushi was talking about.

"You called Shikha Ma'am and not me...!! I am the event head. You should have called me...!! But no!! Who am I that to you that you will call me...!!" she was looking at the dashboard as she spoke. Her eyes were partially wet. "Main kaun hoti hoon ki aap mujhse baat karna chahe... Shikha Ma'am is more important to you... I am nothing to you... Just another employee of your company... Just another girl... Why would you wish to talk to me?!!"

And then she suddenly realized what she was saying. She bit her tongue. "Oh no! What have I said...!!" she thought.

She slowly turned to Arnav. He was staring at her in surprise and confusion. She quickly looked away and closed her eyes in embarrassment. Her heart was beating faster. Her hands clutched her satchel tightly. Arnav was surprised and angry too.

"So you are upset because I called Shikha and not you, haan?!!" said Arnav angrily. "Where is your phone?!!" he hissed. Khushi opened her eyes and looked at Arnav. His angry gaze scared her. She just stared back at him helplessly. "I asked, where is your phone?!!" he repeated. His strong voice scared Khushi more.

"Phone?!" she thought. "In m..my bag" she stammered.

"Take it out... Right now!!" demanded Arnav.

Khushi opened the satchel and fumbled through the things to get hold of her phone. She took out the phone and looked at Arnav innocently as if to ask 'what now?'

"Stop looking at me and check your phone!!" he ordered.

Khushi pressed the power button to unlock the screen and was surprised to see "7 missed calls from Arnav Sir". Her jaw dropped on seeing it.

"Kya hua? Aan?!! Now say that I didn't call you...!! Why are you so silent now Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta?" Arnav said sarcastically.

Khushi was ashamed. She didn't know what to say. "I...I am s.s.sorry Sir..." she said in a low voice. "Actually my phone was in my..."

Arnav interrupted saying, "Pata hai kitni baar phone kiya maine? It was you who didn't pick it up!! I kept trying and... trying... But no response...!!" he said, disappointed.

Khushi remained silent. She knew Arnav was very angry and also upset that she blamed him for not calling her. She was afraid even to look at him. "Please gussa mut keejiye... Mujhe darr lagta hai..." she said innocently. Please don't be angry... I feel scared...

Khushi's innocence chased away Arnav's anger in a jiffy. He looked at Khushi and smiled. "Darr lagta hai? Mujhse?" he asked naughtily raising his brows. Scared? Of me?

Khushi nodded in 'no' still looking away, and said, "Aap ke gusse se..." Scared of your anger...

Arnav smiled. "Okay... Nahi karunga gussa...!! Look at me..." said Arnav. Khushi looked at him. "Do I look angry?!" he asked naughtily. Khushi just smiled. "Don't be so happy...!!" he warned, "I am leaving you this time, but next time if you don't pick up my call, see what I do...!!"

Khushi kept smiling. She kept her phone back into her satchel as Arnav ignited the engine and they moved on to his home.
