Chapter 34
"Devi Maiyya!! I don't believe this!!" said Khushi looking around. "Sir, if you had blindfolded me and then brought here, I wouldn't have been able to recognize that this is your room..."
Arnav grinned. "Had I blindfolded you, what would you have thought I was doing? You would have wanted to kill me, wouldn't you?!" asked Arnav naughtily.
"Hmmm... that wouldn't be wrong what you said!!" she said thoughtfully. "But this transformation...My God! I can't believe that this is the same room where we were searching for a file a few days ago!!" said Khushi.
"Now we don't need to search for any file...!! Everything is in its place!!" said Arnav smiling.
"And what suddenly made you do this?!" asked Khushi.
"You!" replied Arnav.
Khushi was confused. "Sorry?!" she said. Arnav just smiled. "I never told you to clean your room...!" said Khushi.
"Yes...!" replied Arnav. "But I still cleaned it...!" said Arnav.
"Why?" asked Khushi.
"Because that was the right thing...!!" said Arnav. Khushi smiled. "And also I didn't want you to come here and sweat out searching for some file...!!" he said as he winked.
"Oh!" said Khushi. "Then I must thank you...!!" She made a serious face as she held out her hand. "Thank you Mr. Arnav...!!" she said very formally.
Arnav too shook hands with her saying, "You are most welcome Miss Khushi...!!"
Both looked at each other for a second and burst out laughing. It seemed so funny to be formal with each other now. Both were laughing madly. Khushi didn't notice the banana skin that was lying on the floor. She slipped over it and lost her balance to bump into Arnav. Her dupatta fell down as Arnav held her. Before they could understand what was happening, Khushi found herself lying over Arnav on the bed. She opened her eyes just to meet Arnav's. She was clutching his shirt tightly with both her hands and that had ripped a couple of buttons off his shirt revealing his bare chest. He was holding her tightly by the waist. They had never been so close to each other before. None of the two wished to break the eye lock. They could feel the warm breath of each other against their faces. An unusual sensation surged through their bodies. It was a different feeling, totally new! Their hearts were beating faster by the moment. They could hear their breaths. They could feel their hearts pounding. What was this? Was this what is called 'love'? They didn't know. They just knew that whatever it was, they were enjoying it...! Their hearts were beating as if in unison. Arnav's grip tightened as he pressed Khushi against him. Why was he doing that? He didn't know. He just knew that he didn't want to let Khushi go away. Khushi was lost into his eyes, her face closing into his. She closed her eyes to feel the love in the air, the love in his touch, the love in his breath. She could feel his gaze, his passionate eyes staring at her. She breathed in the perfumes that could not be distinguished now. Waves of shiver passed through her body as she clutched his shirt tighter. Arnav moved his hand up her waist over her back and he could feel her body shiver in his arms. His bare chest could feel the goosebumps on her hands protrude into his skin.
The buzzing of Arnav's phone brought both of them to their senses. Khushi opened her eyes as Arnav looked away. Hey Devi Maiyya! What were they doing? They realized suddenly that they were lying on the bed, together..!! Arnav relieved his grip at once. Khushi's face was as if she had seen a ghost. She pushed herself away from Arnav resting her hands on his chest. She tried to get up but she fell back on him, her lips touching his bare chest. Arnav could feel his heartbeats rise. Finally Khushi somehow managed to get up and Arnav too quickly got to his feet. Both were embarrassed and hung their heads in embarrassment staring at their toes. Khushi quickly picked up her dupatta lying on the floor and hung it onto her shoulders round her neck. Silence prevailed in the room for a few moments.
"I am sorry...!" both said simultaneously and then silence again.
After a few silent moments, Arnav looked at Khushi and noticed that she was staring at something on the floor. He turned his gaze in that direction to find the banana skin lying there.
"I think the room is not perfect yet... Not everything is in its place...!" he said looking at the banana skin. He went there and picked it up. "Whatever happened was because of this...!! Sorry to ise kehna chahiye...!! Right?" said Arnav as he winked.
Khushi's nervousness was gone seeing that wink of his and both laughed heartily. Arnav threw the banana skin in the dustbin. He turned to see Khushi kneeling down and picking up something. Those were the buttons of Arnav's shirt.
"I am sorry Sir..." said Khushi holding the buttons in her fist. "I will stitch them to the shirt right away. Could you please give me needle and thread?!"
How could Arnav deny her?! His alter ego was dancing in excitement. He quickly took out the box with reels and needles. Khushi chose a thread having the shade closest to the maroon shirt Arnav was wearing.
Khushi's eyes widened as Arnav began unbuttoning the other buttons of his shirt. "What are you doing?!" she asked. scared.
"Taking off my shirt!! How will you stitch otherwise?" said Arnav.
Khushi had closed her eyes and covered them with both her hands. "No no... don't take it off!!" she almost cried.
Arnav smiled seeing her scared. He buttoned his shirt and smirked saying, "Afraid of me, are you?"
Khushi showed herself to be very brave. "W..w..why would I be afraid of you?!! I am not afraid of anyone!!" she said strongly, her eyes still closed.
Arnav smiled and said naughtily, "Then why are you closing your eyes?" Khushi didn't know what to say. "Open your eyes now... Nothing to worry...!!" said Arnav as he grinned.
Khushi slowly opened her eyes and was relieved to see Arnav wearing his shirt. She stood sill at her place.
"I think you were gonna stitch the buttons to my shirt..." reminded Arnav.
Khushi walked to him hesitantly. "Hold this!" she said as she told Arnav to hold one button. She began stitching the other button onto his shirt. Her slender fingers touched his chest as she stitched. The gentle touch was very soothing. Khushi knew Arnav was staring at her. Not once did she tried to look at him, 'cause she knew his gaze would kill her there itself. After done with stitching the button, she looked around for a pair of scissors to cut off the extra thread. She couldn't find one and she did not dare to look at Arnav and ask him for one. She cut the thread with her teeth. Arnav could feel her warm breath over his chest. What a feel it was!! Khushi then asked Arnav for the other button without looking at him. And without looking away from her, Arnav gave her the button she had told him to hold. He knew he was going to experience it one more time. She began stitching.
"Aaahhh!!" Arnav cried in pain.
Khushi was worried. "Oh! I am sorry, I am sorry!! Did it hurt a lot?!" she asked.
"Look at your face...!!" said Arnav laughing.
Khushi understood that he was teasing her. She continued her work ignoring him. Arnav was glad that two buttons came off and not one. Again the feel of her tender hands and soft skin... and her warm breath over his chest as she cut off the thread with her teeth. Finally it was done...!! As she was about to move away, she saw the mark her lips had made on his chest when she had fallen on him. She was about to clean it with her hand but then she just turned away, embarrassed. Arnav was still staring at her.
Just then Lavanya came there looking for Arnav. Arnav quickly buttoned his shirt before she came in. Khushi replaced the needle and thread in the box.
Lavanya stood at the door still not sure whether she should enter Arnav's room. She didn't want to get yelled at in front of Khushi. "Hope you don't mind me coming in Arnav...!" she said with her usual sweet smile and was about to enter in when Arnav said, "Yes I do mind!!"
Lavanya stood at the door shocked and somewhat hurt.
"Sir!!" whispered Khushi looking at Arnav. She gestured him not to be so rude.
Arnav walked to Lavanya and gently said, "Lavanya, I didn't mean what you are thinking. I just wanted to say that... erm... will you please give us a moment alone? I want to talk to Khushi. I would be glad if you will please excuse us for a moment...!"
Lavanya just walked away in disbelief.
Khushi didn't know what the next moment would bring. She became very nervous. Enough had happened already. She just wanted to get out of that room and breathe freely. She felt she had been breathless for quite a long time.
"Sir, I think I should leave now... I have to go and complete my work in the office and..."
"Just two minutes Khushi... And then you may leave... Please wait a little more..." said Arnav.
Khushi was afraid that something more will happen if she waited there. But she couldn't deny! Arnav came closer and held Khushi on her upper arms. He made her sit on the bed. He pulled up a chair in front of her and sat down facing her.
"Khushi..." he said in a gentle and sincere tone, "I wanted to tell you something..." he paused for a moment looking down and then continued, "Actually I wanted to say this since many days, but didn't get a chance." He paused again. He looked into her eyes and said, "And now, I don't want to let this moment go away...!!"
Khushi felt her body go numb. She felt a void in her stomach. She sat there nervously entwining her fingers into each other, her heart pounding, and her mind wondering what Arnav was going to say...
