Part 11

"'' if you can sleep that is," was what Arnav Singh Raizada had said before leaving a feather light kiss on her forehead and going out of their house. For some time Khushi had stood rooted where she was, her heart fluttering, butterflies in her tummy, wanting to fly, dance and twirl on her toes. Happiness radiated from her, her eyes glowed reflecting the smile that played on her lips. Hugging herself she flung her arms in the air and spun around'''''

"Hayeee re nand kisoree, Sanka devi have you totally lost it!" Bua ji exclaimed as Khushi collided into her.

"Buaaa ji, why does your Nand kisore make sure I collide with you, I mean I could have collided with Amma also, but no you always come in my way!" Khushi said in a totally keyed up state unable to stop smiling.

Ever so perceptive Bua ji looked at Khushi curiously, "Did you get a new toothpaste that you are advertising or are your teeth on exhibition today?" she asked.

"nannaa Nai tu! Bua jiii can't I just smile for no reason," she stammered before going to her room hurriedly, "I am sleepy, going to bed, byeee" she said and closed the door quickly before locking it.

She sank on the bed, hugging the pillow and smiling. Turning around to lie on her belly, Khushi looked out of the window at the star filled sky, "Amma, babaji, I am very happy today, I just hope it lasts." She finished with her eyes glistening with tears.

Next morning was a bit unusual for the air of Shantivan as Arnav Singh Raizada woke up with a smile on his face, contentment written with big bold letters across his face, anyone seeing him would have wondered what had he dreamed about at night. Even the walk down the stairs for breakfast was done with a smile to the utter amazement of his family who was not in the habit of such early morning sunshine from him; the signature frown was something they were used to. While Anjali lost her voice at the scene, Mamiji couldn't control her curiosity and delved head on to satisfy it, "Arnav bitwa Smiling early morning, in what happiness? Tells us," she pried.

"What? What do you mean?" Arnav asked as if he had been caught stealing candies from a jar.

Mamiji gave out a laugh, "Oh no you are getting all flustered up as if you were caught sneaking out of the house to meet a girl!" she said having no clue of how close she was to the truth, while Arnav tried to wipe off the smile from his face.

Though nani was also quite curious herself but since she had other more urgent things on her mind she said a bit sternly, "Manorama, shall we talk about important stuff if you are done with your comedy ka jhatka show?" and continued not taking any notice of the frown and eye roll she got from her, "The guptas have invited us for tea tonight and I accepted their invitation on everyone's behalf, I hope everyone is okay with it? She asked looking at the family in general and Arnav in particular, "What about you chotay?"

"Of cour'." Arnav almost agreed when he had another idea, "Of course nani I would have had no problem if I didn't have a foreign delegate coming to my office for a meeting," he lied skillfully.

Nani and Anjali both sighed together shaking their heads, "If they hadn't been introduced to you as Akaash's brother, the guptas might never have believed that you are his brother. Your participation has been zilch!" Nani said as she got up from the table, "Please the rest of you, get ready on time," she ordered going away.

"Dhinka chika dhinka chika dhinka chik dhink'" Khushi was dancing and singing in the kitchen as she made breakfast for everyone when her cell phone rang.

"Heeellooo'." Khushi spluttered in answer to Arnav's husky Hi.

"Hey sunshine, what makes you stutter, normally it's hard to make you stop'.haan?" he teased her.

"ummm no, no I am in the middle of making breakfast, occupied you know," she tried to cover up her reaction on hearing his voice, she silently thanked devi maiyyan that he couldn't see her wobbly knees and blush.

"Anyways, the thing is we have been invited for tea at your house today, so ready for it?" he asked.

"ofcourse, ''''" she wanted to delve into the menu details but couldn't as he continued.

"the thing is I won't be able to come, I have a video conference at home'" he said slowly waiting for her reaction.

The words sank in pretty quickly as she interrupted, "Why not, can't your conference be later on," she said unable to hide her restlessness.

Arnav suppressed his laughter, his heart went out for her innocence and total openness, which was so unlike what he had come across up till now. A slow smile spread on his face as he said in a voice laden with emotions, "Why don't you come over?" and continued playfully, "Like I did last night''..hmm but ofcourse you are too afraid of your buaji to even think about that, hmmm?"

"hmmm not bua ji but with people coming to our house how can you even imagine that I'll go out for anything at all?" Khushi said astonished at the demand.

"of course of course, that too and the fact that you don't have guts to take this challenge," Arnav enticed her further, "ok then bbye" he quicky cut off for lingering effect.

Khushi fumed.

Arnav chuckled.

Khushi felt stupid standing outside the main door of the RM. "What will HP think when he sees me here. He must know that everyone is at our place and here I am! " she rambled on to herself and stopped when she realized the door was open. As if her heart had taken a cue, it started to beat dramatically. Gingerly she stepped in as if there was monster around the corner ready to pounce on her.

"Arnavji'.. Arnavji'Where are you?... Whe.." she stopped when she realized she was whispering.

She straightened up and headed for his room directly, "Where else can you find him, he haunts that place!" she was talking to herself again. "hello anyone home?" she asked entering his room without any hesitation, with no inhibitions, no uncertainty, as if she had territorial rights. Finding the room empty she headed for the French Windows to check out the poolside only to find it deserted. She paused as usual at the sight of all the plants and smiled at the lot on one side, these were the ones she had gifted him. She closed her eyes as she imagined him working away at his plants. The sight never failed to awe her, it was so unlike the Raizada she had met at Sheesh Mahal or worked with at AR. The creak of a door behind woke her from the reverie and she spun around with a big smile, ready to claim that she had in fact lived up to his challenge, but all that came out of her mouth was, "Hai Devi Maiyaan!" as she covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide with shock at what she beheld!

Two steps away, stood Arnav singh Raizada with only a towel wrapped around, and a smirk playing on his lips as he stared at her without a trace of self-consciousness.

"Nai, nai, hayee devi mayiian," Khushi continued her shocked blabber as Arnav took the two steps between them. Ever so slowly he raised his hands to hers and moved them to her eyes covering them.

"This is where you should have placed them Khushi Kumari Gupta or maybe you like what you see, eh?" he pulled her leg enjoying every second of it.

With hands still on her eyes she quickly turned around saying, "N..nooo, why are you walking around like that at all?" she demanded hotly trying to make up for her flustered state.

"One, I am not walking around, just came out of the shower, two this is MY room, where I came to get my clothes" he reminded as he opened his wardrobe to take out a pair of old jeans, "And please now don't use the mirror over there for sightseeing," he was having a ball teasing her.

"What, No,...Ohhh... Thanks devi maaiyyan!" came the incoherent words from Khushi as she instinctively looked up at the mirror and thanked that he was in his jeans already before covering her eyes and rattling on, "So you thought I didn't have enough guts, but here I am and that too with everyone's permission! Howzzat?" she boasted, she would have continued had she not smelled his cologne awfully near her, she realized that he was standing right behind her.

The dhak dhak started yet again and she cursed her heart inwardly at its traitorous behavior, her breathing became heavy as she became acutely aware of him, she could feel the hair on her neck rising, goose bumps on her arms, butterflies in her stomach, knees going jelly. Closed eyes were not helping a little bit for she had seen enough to visualize him completely. "Please..." she groaned.

"Please what Khushi Kumari Gupta?" came the seductive drawl from right behind her, she started to breathe faster, and her heart was beating wildly. She drew in a sharp breath when the hands on her eyes were covered with another pair of very strong hands which held them and lowered them by her sides.

"Khushi open your eyes and look," she heard his voice, strung with emotions, in almost a whisper.

Little by little she opened her eyes to look into the mirror, and she liked what she saw, she admitted to herself unabashedly. He stood right behind her, with no shirt on. She didn't have the full view of the spectacle that had forced her into speechlessness but she liked how they stood together. It was almost perfect as if it was always meant to be like this. She looked into his eyes.

Arnav felt a spark as his eyes met with her, he could see her eyes glowing with the awareness that he stood near her.

Inadvertently, she moved closer to him, filling the fleeting gap between them.

He caressed his left hand along the length of her left arm coming to rest under her fingers. Continuing to look into her eyes in the mirror he raised her left hand intertwining his fingers through hers.

"Remember a few weeks ago I was about to put the ring on your hand when you told me about your engagement. I had been in love with you even then..." he went on but khushi had stopped listening.

She got a rude jolt back into reality, she had forgotten about Shayam since Arnav had come back. She quickly looked up at Arnav's reflection in the mirror, she loved him too much to lose him, he loved his sister too much and won't take it easily. All at once she was too afraid to lose him, but she had to tell him, it was a question of trust.

Arnav watched intently how her expressions had changed from bubbly excitement to a frowned confusion. "Khushi, whats the matter?" he asked with a voice full of concern.

KHushi looked up, looked into his eyes and thought, "yes I have to tell him but not now, not today. Today is too precious for me, devi maiyyan forgive me for this selfishness!" she continued to look into his eyes.

Arnav was taken aback by the sheer show of emotions in her eyes when she turned around sharply, flung her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

With her head buried in his neck she said, "I love you, I dont ever want to lose you!"

Arnav felt her tears on his chest and his restlessness grew.

"KHushi, what happened? look up!" he pleaded with his voice laced with concern.

She looked up at him, her arms still around his neck. Till here it was fine, under control but then she raked her hands through his damp hair and sighed.

He had been exercising a of self control but the smouldering look she gave him broke it.

Arnav looked intently at her face, her eyes and then her luscious lips.

he bent his head down...
