ArHi FF - Bawari Piya Ki Thread 1 - Page 20

Arnav: Yes Uncle, Actually I would love to spend more time with all them but work keeps me quite busy.

Arnav smiled slightly.

Manorma Mami: Garima, it's been so long since you have come to our social circle parties. What is keeping you so busy?

Garima smiled: Nothing Mrs. Raizaada, it's just that I don't enjoy these parties any more plus age is taking a toile on me, I guess.

Anjali: Not at all Aunty, I remember I last saw you on Arnav's 18^th Birthday party, I think and I must say you still look just the same.

Just then Arnav's phone rang and he excused himself from everyone.

Nani: Garima, where is Khushi?

Garima: Oh! She's in her room. I'll just call her.

Garima moved to call Khushi when Nani stopped her.

Nani: Ah! Garima, just one minute. Shashi, I would like to request you something?

Shashi and Garima exchanged a look. Shashi: Please?

Nani: I you don't mind, Arnav wanted to meet Khushi alone. I hope it will be okay with you?

Shashi sighed a relief and smiled. Shashi: Of course we don't mind. We know Arnav since he was 16 years old. And any ways going with today's generation I too feel it's important for both of them to talk separately. Garima why don't you take Khushi to the terrace? I think Arnav too is upstairs to attend his call.

Garima: sure! She replied smilingly and went to Khushi's room.

Garima went to Khushi's room and asked her to go the terrace to speak to Arnav. On hearing this, her body shivered a bit. She smiled nervously and nodded. Her mom kissed her fore head lovingly and left. Khushi climbed up the stairs smiling to herself and remembering the last 12 years of her life that she had spent dreaming about the man waiting for her upstairs. Even the thought of him waiting for her was affecting her ways she had never experienced before.

Arnav: I said JUST SHUT UP!!

Khushi heard Arnav shout like never before and froze in her tracks on reaching the terrace door. He was standing with his back towards her and his pitch was even higher than she had heard that night.

Arnav: Don't you even dare try and threaten me ever again or else I'll make sure that you spend the rest of your life behind the bars.

Khushi shivered hearing the conversation on the phone and a sudden fear of losing him held her. Tears formed in her eyes as she kept looking towards him. Arnav turned back towards the door to see the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. Though he had seen her before he felt as if this was the very first time he had noticed the woman in her. Was she the same girl he had met that night? The girl whom he thought to be a complete weirdo to be completely lost somewhere in her own world? And today she pulled him into that world. The attraction he felt towards her at this very moment wasn't a one he could deny. The blowing wind caused Khushi's 'pallu' to fall but she held it in place using her other hand. He was already breathing heavily and knew that she would notice. To control his suddenly urging desires he looked away but couldn't control for more than a second and looked back at her. Was she the same girl whose beauty he had very disgracefully diminished to prostitution? He hated himself for saying all that to her. She looked like an angel and he was surely living a fairy tale. The fact that she was here for him was multiplying her effect on him like some ten times at least.

Arnav: Ah! Hi.

Khushi immediately removed her tears using he hand and whispered 'Hi' back smiling slightly at him. Arnav noticed her tears. He moved a two steps towards her but Khushi was very scared at the moment after hearing him shout and also the conversation on the phone. She moved back away from him.

Khushi nodded her head still looking towards her feet. There was a long pause and none of them said anything. Khushi kept fidgeting with her fingers looking straight at the ground and Arnav kept looking in different directions occasionally stealing glances at her. Finally he broke the silence.

Arnav: Are you still upset with me? He said looking straight into her eyes. Khushi looked back at him quite surprised. She didn't expect him to ask her that. Even though she wanted to say no or to at least shook her head she couldn't move an inch seeing the desperation for an answer in his eyes. Did she really matter so much to him?

He slowly moved towards her and stood right in front of her. He took her left hand in his right and using his other hand caressed the wound she had got during the accident. Khushi closed her eyes feeling him so close to her. Even though she had pain in that hand, the sweet pain she could feel because of him had overcome all other pain.

Arnav: Khushi, Do you know why I am here?

Khushi nodded her head with her eyes still closed.

Arnav: Then you have to answer my question. Are you still upset with me?

Khushi slowly opened her eyes filled with tears and looked towards him. There was so much that she wanted to tell him today. Tell him that she could never be upset with him. She knew all his anger was just because he was really worried about her that night and didn't know anything about her. She knew he was guilty about what all he had said to her and felt apologetic. But the fear was stopping her from saying anything. All her life she lived with the fear that she would never be able to receive his love. He will never be hers. And today when destiny had finally tied them both together, the thought of losing him again after hearing that threatening call, she had lost her voice to say anything. A tear rolled down her eye while she looked at him.

Arnav: I am Sorr'.

But before he could say anything Khushi stopped him by keeping a finger on his lips and shook her head for a no looking in his eyes. Arnav kissed her fore-head lovingly without saying anything and Khushi closed her eyes with a feeling so natural as she never felt before.
