Harshi... let's have a weekend treat from u!! want an super cute arhilicious update... 😳😳

So, I finally caught up with the movie, "Breaking Dawn :Part 1"

Though I've read it like 14 times!!

After seeing that, I had a good mind to make Khushi pregnant!!

Bet you'd've liked it!! 😉

But I'll give you a fair warning. . . You'll have to wait for that to happen!! 😉 😆

Part 13:

'What the??!! Now what??!!' Arnav thought, as he glared at Khushi's father, clenching his jaws. Khushi stood with her eyes wide open in shock, her petite body stiff with tension. After a moment, she started extricating her hand from his, causing Arnav to stiffen even more.

"Kaho Khushi. What if I object?" Shashi asked.

Khushi cast a sidelong glance in Arnav's direction, suddenly having difficulty in breathing.

'Like hell I'm letting her go! ! !' Arnav thought. But if he confronted her father, she'd probably take her father's side, even if it hurt her. Curbing his anger, he told her father, "She'd definitely not marry me. No doubt regarding that. Even though it'd be worse for her. Almost like seventh circle of Hades. She'd even pretend that she's happy with your decision, just for your sake. Now its up to you to reject this. . ."

After telling this, he was looking intently, his body taut with trepidation.

"Arre. . . I was just joking!!!" Shashi said, and Khushi started to breathe, her eyes filling up. She leaned on to Arnav, her body racking with sobs. Arnav threw a withering look at her father, before he held her against him, consoling her, "Its okay, child. He was just joking. . . Sshh. . . It's okay. . ."

Anjali and Payal had tears of joy in their eyes. While Anjali was happy that her Chotey was capable of loving someone to this extent, Payal was happy because her sister seemed to have found her soul mate, just like she herself had. Shyam and Aakash put their arms around their respective spouses, and smiled at Arnav, understanding the exact feelings he may be going through.

Khushi couldn't help but lean onto Arnav, just to make sure he was there. He'd be there. And he seemed to know how to reassure her, as he held her in his arms, and told that her father was only joking.

Buaji, whom even Khushi endured, just because she was her father's sister, said, "Hai re Nand Kishore! What Khushi?! Do you want Shashi babua to apologize to you in front of everyone? That is all you want?? Hai??!"

Even before she felt Arnav stiffening at the voice of Buaji, Khushi pulled back, and stared at his face. She knew that he'd probably do or say something to get back at her. When she caught his attention, she shook her head, silently telling him not to say anything. Arnav's anger turned into frustration, as he couldn't let his anger out! 'Why does Khushi have to be Ms.goody always!? And how does she stay with this irritating blob of a woman?!' he thought.

Shashi seemed to be genuinely upset that his small joke had upset her so much. Khushi finally managed to stop her tears, and Shashi started to apologize, "Khushi beta, I am really sorry. . ."

"Nahi bauji, Please don't apologize. . ." She said, hugging him with one arm, her other hand clutching Arnav's hand in a tight clasp.

Anjali told them both to freshen up, so that could all have tea together. Khushi washed her face, and came out of the bathroom, to find a thoughtful Arnav. "What are you thinking?" she asked, as she stood in front of him.

As he waited for Khushi to come out, Arnav thought of how she had cried, just at the idea of leaving him. Of course he still hated the fact that she had cried! But her crying meant only one thing. At least as far as he knew. When she came out and asked him what he was thinking, he asked her why she had cried so much.

Khushi looked surprised at his question. "You know why." she stated. And Arnav just shook his head, and looked at her in expectation. "Because I love you!" she said in a 'duh' kind of tone.

Arnav stood up immediately, and Khushi was about to take a step back in surprise, when he pulled her to himself, taking her lips in a hungry kiss. Being on the inexperienced side, Khushi felt this new emotion rising in her, which she didn't recognize. the previious two kisses had not even been close to their present one, what with cell phones buzzing at the wrong moment.

The towel in her hand fell at their feet, as her arms went around his neck. Her breathing turned heavy, as Arnav's hands roamed freely on her rear.

As they broke their kiss for air, Arnav couldn't stop himself as his lips moved down her neckline.

Khushi sighed, as one of her hands made their way into his hair, tugging at it, and another grabbed a fitful of his tee, above his chest, clutching it tightly. When she felt his lips on her chest, her body went motionless, making Arnav to pull back.

Arnav watched Khushi lower her gaze, still gasping for air, and her hand clutching his tee as if her life depended on it. He smiled as he kissed her forehead, and asked, "Shall we go downstairs?"

Khushi rubbed her neck with her free hand and nodded, not realizing that she still held onto his tee. "Erm. . . I truly don't mind this, but I think people will notice you holding onto me like this. . ."

Khushi hurriedly left his tee and smoothed it, making Arnav almost groan as her hands stroked his chest. He had a good mind to continue where he had left, but he stopped himself, not wanting to scare her the first time they got intimate!

As they went down, discussions regarding both marriages were going on. And Arnav found Khushi worrying her lower lip again.

Arnav knew she was worried about her "DREAMS". And he waited for her to object. But she never did. She didn't even utter a single word! Arnav looked directly into her eyes, as he asked her, "Khushi. . . What is worrying you?"

Khushi's stared at him with wide eyes, surprised that he had known that she was worried. "N. . No. . Nothing. . ."

"You are lying to me!" he stated, "Tell me the truth. . ."

All of them had their eyes fixed on her, as Khushi started to stutter, her voice barely audible, "I. . . I still have one more semester of college left. . ."

Arnav wondered what was the problem with that, as she continued, "So… After marriage. . . . . ." she trailed off, not knowing how to voice her doubts anymore.

"Huh!! Do you seriously think that I'm so old fashioned, that I'd not allow you to attend college??!!" Arnav asked incredulously.

"Oh. . . . No!!" Khushi hurried to assure him.

Anjali gasped dramatically, and said, "So you think we are old fashioned??!!"

"Erm. . . Di. . . You're hamming it up way too much, don't you think???" Arnav asked.

"Okay!! Fine!! One can't even joke with Khushi anymore, these days!!" Anjali muttered, making Shyam to laugh. Arnav simply rolled his eyes at the hyperbole, and looked at Khushi as he told, "Look Khushi. Do you really think that I will come in between you and your dreams??"

Khushi shook her head, without a moment's doubt.

And Arnav whispered with a smile, "That is all I wanted to know. . . . ."
