OS- Racing Heart, Crazy Love
Khushi was frantically pacing around the room, her head spinning thinking of what had happened two hours ago. The Laad Governor had just pulled her close and kissed her cheek, he was definitely going crazy and since the past few days after NK had arrived he was behaving so strangely, 'He must have banged his head really hard' Khushi muttered, biting her nails.
She plopped down on the bed and replayed the whole scene in her head, their hands meeting in the water,his molten brown eyes, his challenging husky voice, the way his lips lightly brushed against her cheek, she sighed deeply and buried her head in the pillow, trying to put an end to her bizarre taught's. Then she heard it again, the 'Dhak-Dhak' and it was getting louder with each passing day, 'Oh no not this thing again' she groaned with her hand over her chest, she grabbed the pillow again and hit her head with it 'I'm going mad, and I'm not gonna go anywhere near that Rakshas anymore, Ahhh yes I'm gonna stay away and hide when he's around and try to never look into his eyes again, those brown, drawing, deep, wonderful eyes...' she sighed and then what she just said hit her and she cursed herself for getting carried away again and rushed off to find Buaji and engage herself in something that would make her think of anything but Arnav.
Khushi was busy humming to herself and checking out her outfit for the nights havan, she smiled at her reflection, pushed back a lock of her hair and headed out of the room to show it to Payal. She ran across the hall towards Payal's room trying to not mess up and topple over the endless pile of boxes with flowers kept on the way.
She halted on her way hearing Buaji's screeching voice screaming at her to go and see if the the grocery, ration and vessels were all in order for tomorrow. 'Aur haan try and bargain with the man' she added. Khushi shook her head and smiled at her Buaji's money saving schemes.
Khushi stood in he yard, examining the vegetables, the large vessels and shouting out instructions to the people decorating the entrance of the house, 'No not that low, a little higher' she yelled at the man placing the lights, 'Yeah that's perfect' she said and turned back to the large baskets of vegetables and sacks of rice and other grocery placed before her. 'No Bhaia I'll only pay the same price that Vimla mausi paid for Rashi's wedding' she said. 'Arrey but bitia the prices have gone high' the man tried to get Khushi to agree. She stood there shaking her head stubbornly not agreeing to pay a single rupee more, that's when she saw a white SUV drive towards her house, she recognized the man driving immediately 'Hey Devi Mayya!' she exclaimed, she had to hide, she was not going appear in front of him, it only left her feeling strange with an abnormal heart rate that threatened to drive her crazy.
'Bhaia you know I'm not going to pay more, and this is Payal's wedding,you have to agree, I'll talk to you later' she said hurriedly and sent the man away, her mind processing ways to hide safely, she crouched behind the large pile and baskets of vegetables, peeping and seeing that the Laad Governor had something in his hand and was walking towards the entrance of her house. She heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, waiting for him to leave so that she could resume looking over the wedding preparations. She sat down there for a few minutes, restless and fidgeting with her pale pink dupatta, trying to not ruin her outfit. 'Could he just leave soon' she complained to herself.
She heard foot steps approaching, 'Crap!' she knew it was, him she had that same familiar light feeling within her and she could sense that he was coming towards where she hid. She was trapped and now she had to look into those eyes that had challenged her to kiss him back, 'Oh no how was she going to get out of this without fainting, stammering or blushing furiously before him, did he have to kiss her and make her heart race a hundred times faster' she taught to herself. She hugged her knees close and buried her head in them hoping that he would not see her and would just walk away.
Arnav walked around the yard, his eyes searching for Khushi, he needed to see her. Bringing the pooja's items was just an excuse to catch a glimpse of her again, she had strangely made a place for her craziness in his life and these days his need to see her and be close to her were sky rocketing, 'She is lovely' he sighed and smiled recollecting how he had kissed her, her surprised face was etched in his mind.
Arnav looked around wondering where she was, he had heard Buaji muttering to Payal about where Khushi disappeared to and he looked around trying to see her one last time before he left to Shantivan. He saw a pale pink dupatta peeking out of the large baskets and sacks and he smiled knowing who it was, he walked slowly towards the large pile and looked down to see Khushi hugging her knees close, her head bowed down, rocking back and forth. Words like 'Laad Governor' ,Rakshas' ,'Dhak-Dhak' ,'shart' and ' Hey Devi Mayya raksha karna' made way to his ears and he smiled looking down at how adorable and crazy she was.
Khushi slowly looked up sensing the presence of someone standing next to her and she found herself staring right at the smiling eyes of Arnav. 'Umm voh umm... I was just praying that the vegetables won't get spoilt ' she muttered and blushed furiously thinking of the nonsense she was blabbering. 'Haan Payal I'm coming' she yelled looking towards the house nervously, she turned to run back home. She felt him tugging at her wrist and pulling her back before she could run. She looked up at him with wide eyes and he just stood there smirking at her, 'I din't hear Payal calling you' he said softly. She looked down at her feet and giggled nervously 'You din't? Oh umm... it's probably because she speaks so softly' she said trying hard to find excuses and escape. She was fighting hard to not look into his eyes, once she did there would be no turning back and she would find herself gazing at him and giving away everything she felt.
'Khushi you remember the challenge' Arnav asked sofly. 'Oh no' know she taught, she knew this was coming but hearing it made it real and she realized she could not just walk away like a chicken, she was not going to stand defeated, even if it was a stupid dare she told herself adamantly, but a little voice whispered within her telling her that the man standing before her was already making her feel strange things and now kissing him would only push her more down into the 'Dhak- Dhak' world, she pushed the taughts away and looked up to see him smirking at her. 'Yes I remember it' she replied trying to look nonchalant and totally at ease, 'Will you be able to do it' he asked his voice filled with amusement, 'Haan kyun nahin' she shot back without looking at him, she was staring at his shoes, his collar, the tree nearby, the sky, basically everywhere but his eyes.
The silence was tensing her even more as she wanted to just dig a hole and bury herself right now and not drown in those captivating brown eyes. 'I'm waiting' he whispered. I have to do this, I want to this, wait what the hell am I thinking Khushi cursed herself, she looked up at him suddenly finding the courage that she taught had gone on a long vacation. She looked up at his eyes her heart beating wildly threatening to explode, she stood on her toes and slowly tilted her head and brushed her lips against his cheek and closed her eyes begging her heart to slow down, his intoxicating scent driving her crazy. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close loving how she felt against him, her lips still brushing softly over his cheeks and her heart beating wildly beneath his chest.
'Ayee Snka Devi' Khushi heard her Buaji yelling and was broken out of her trance, she pulled away from him and looked up to see him smiling warmly, her heart melting and wanting to stay by his side for longer but she just turned away, walked around the piles of sacks and baskets almost stumbling, she ran towards her house trying hard to slow her heart down, trying to not run back into his arms and kiss him senseless. She closed the door to her room and slid down, blushing furiously, 'it was just supposed to be a small peck on the cheek, so why did I just stand there frozen, forgetting everything in his embrace' she asked herself, touching her lips and smiling softly at how wonderful it felt being so close to him.
Arnav walked to his car, the smile not leaving his face. She stole his heart and this time he knew he had lost it for good, he wondered how she manged to bring in so much happiness by doing the simplest things. He sat down and leaned his head against the seat, sighing and touching his cheek, she is lovely and she had no idea what she was doing to him. Khushi Kumari Gupta had carved out a place in his heart just for her and he silently accepted that the impossible was happening, he was falling in love with her.
I was just thinking of a few of the old scenes and then this popped into my head. How was it?
