Chapter 24

"Remember Khushi." Arnav tells her as they both get into the elevator to head down back to the party.

Khushi gives him a confused look, "Remember what, Arnav?" She asks him by raising both her eyebrows.

He grins at her and with a husky voice tells her, "That you're MINE." He brings their entwined hands up to his lips and kisses her knuckles. She looks at him with her mouth forming her trademark 'O'.

"You sure are confident about yourself." She tells him with a laugh and glint in her eyes.

He swiftly pushes her back against the elevator wall, caging her with both of his hands against her head, "That I am." With that being said he lowers his head and plants an open-mouthed kiss on the hollow of her throat. He whispers huskily against her neck, "And don't you forget it.

She places both of her hands palm faced on his chest and gently pushes him of off her, "Ego much?" She asks him with a smile tugging on her lips.

He crashes his full body against her again; their full bodies molded together with each other and with a playful voice replies her, "Just a little." He gives her a throaty chuckle as he leans in for a kiss and kisses her gently on her lips. Before he could deepen the kiss, the ding of elevator alerts them that the elevator has arrived at the ground floor.

He backed away from her, grabbed her hand and walked out towards the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, she tried to pry her hand of, but he was adamant and only made him grip her tighter. "What are you doing?" He asks her as he looks at her with a confused face.

She gives him a weird look and tells him in soft whisper, "I don't want people to find out yet." He nods his head and let's her hand go free, but it was too late as Anjali and her mother had already spotted them holding hands.

"I'm really happy today Anjali bitiya, your mother's wish will finally come true." Garima tells her with tears brimming in her eyes. Anjali squeezes her hand as to let her know that she feels the same way. Khushi begins to walk in and make her towards Dhruv, Payal and Aakash as Arnav moves towards one of his business associates.

"Is everything good, girlfriend?" Dhruv asks Khushi as she comes to stand beside him with a happy face. She turns her head towards him and answers in a cheery mood, "Everything is better, then good. It is fantastic!"

They all start to chit-chat, while Arnav kept on glancing towards the object of his affection with love shining in his eyes. He was admiring her, the way she laughed, the way she kept on tugging the lone hair behind her ear. The bangles tinkling as she animatedly said something and her carefree smile. He was broken out of his train of thinking when Anjali appeared beside him and teasingly asks, "Should I let nani know that instead of one grandson's marriage, there will be two?"

Jerking his head towards his lovely sister he gives her bewildered look and asks, "What are you talking about Di?"

Anjali chuckles at her brother and lovingly cups his cheek and says, "I can see it in your eyes, your face chote, you're in love and that too with a girl who made your life crazy." Arnav brushes her hand away, looks away from and mumbles, "I don't know what you're babbling about Di."

Anjali suppresses her laughter and with a mischievous tone says, "Acha, you don't know what I'm talking about?" Arnav excuses himself as his phone started to ring, he was glad that he was saved by ring otherwise his sister was relentless when she wants to know something.

"The engagement went great without a glitch and now we have 2 months remaining before the wedding." Garima tells Divyani as both women were sitting in the living room of Shantivaan sipping tea. Divyani nods her head and says, "Yes, I can't believe that the days are flying by and before we know it the wedding will be upon us."

"Yes and I for one am glad, because who knows we might get another surprise." Anjali tells them women as she made her towards them holding a book in her hand. The women look at her with confusion and she explains to them in regards to Arnav and Khushi.

"Amma ji, we have to get back Lucknow as it is we have had the shop closed far too long and we also have to start preparing for the wedding." Garima tells her as she places the empty cup on the coffee table in front of her. Nani nods her head in agreement, but Arnav who was walking by heard that and something snapped in his heart. If they going back to Lucknow, meant that Khushi will also leave them and he wouldn't get to see her till the wedding time. That was unacceptable to him; he wants to have her in front of his eyes all the time. Was he possessive? Hell ya he was. The fact that he would not be able to see her everyday bothered him.

He walked up towards his room as soon as he entered he shrugged his coat and tie off and threw it over his recliner. He hears her tinkling sound of her payal's and knew she was coming. He turned his head towards the entrance of the door and there she stood. Wearing light blue anarkali suit, her hair left open and small jumka's dangling in her ears. She was a striking beauty with a face of an angel and she was all HIS.

She gave him a sweet smile, walked towards him and greets him, "Hi." He gives her smirk and in an instant, grabs her waist and yanks her full body towards him and with a husky voice says, "Hi back." She places her hands on his shoulder to balance herself; her eyes wide open with a small playing on her lips. He yanks more towards him and lowers his head. She closes her eyes, his breath fanning over her lips and then she feels his lips on hers. He kisses her softly at first, but then he remembers that she is to leave soon and that kiss turns rough, possessive. With one hand around her waist, his other hand move towards the nape of her neck, he fists her hair and yanks her head back violently and deepens the kiss.

She lets out whimper at the assault of her hair being pulled roughly, but she knew that this was different; it was like he was trying to hold on to her. He let's go of her mouth and starts to trail hot open-mouthed kisses along her throat. He nips at the base of throat with his teeth which surely leave a red mark. She runs her hand through his hair softly as if to assure him that she is here with him. He brings him mouth again towards her and whispers, "I don't want you to go."

Finally understanding his turmoil as to why he kissed her so possessively she moves her head back and with a smile says, "I have to, Arnav." He let's go of her, moves back a few steps and fiercely runs his hands through his hair. With a determined voice he asks, "Why do you have too? Why can't you stay here?"

She starts to laugh, moves to sit down on his bed. She crosses her legs and answers, "I can't stay here Arnav and you know that?"

He gives her stern look and with a firm voice says, "What do you mean you can't stay here? Of course you can." He puts both of his hands in his pockets, "This is my house."

Khushi shakes her head and tells his softly, "Yes, this is your house, but it also happens to be my sister's sasural." He looks at her squarely and asks, "So what? That does not mean that you have leave and go back to Lucknow."

She takes in a deep breath, she knew exactly how he was feeling because she was feeling the same way. The thought of leaving him was something that she didn't want to do. She wanted to be with him as much he wanted to be with her. The feelings were mutual, but she has to go back as this was payal's sasural and the wedding was in two months and there was still so much left to do.

"Arnav, try to understand please wedding is in two months and amma and babuji need my help with all the planning for the wedding." She tries to tell him in her best way. "I know how you feel, but think of it this way, when do see each other after two months it will be so romantic."

He raises his eyebrow, "Romantic?" He shakes his head and asks, "If you think that I will even consider not seeing you for two months then you are mistaken Khushi Kumari Gupta."

She gives a baffled look and asks, "What are you going to do? Move to Lucknow?" As soon as she says that, his smile grew wider as he thought of an idea.

"I might just do that." He tells her and stalks out his room with a determined face. Khushi still digesting as to what happened; wait is he really thinking about moving to Lucknow? Wait that is crazy, but he does have an office there. She breaks out of her trance and rushes out of the room to see where that crazy Laad governor went off too.

He is standing in the living room and asks HP to call the rest of the family down for a meeting. Nani, Anjali and Garima are all looking at him with anxious faces as to what he wants to say, but all he says that he will tell as soon as the rest of the family join in.

The rest of the family was all seated and waited for him to begin, Khushi was nervous as hell as to what he was going to say. She had seen that face before, when he had told her she belongs him the night of the engagement. She looks at him as his eyes lock with hers, but he wasn't giving anything away. He looks around the room and says, "Good you're all here. I wanted to share some news in regards Aakash and Payal's wedding."

Anjali looks at her brother and back at Khushi who was undoubtedly fidgeting with the end of her duppata nervously. She knew something was up between these two. Arnav then speaks in a firm voice, "The wedding will take place at Sheesh Mahal!"

asr is always asr, he will have his own way, especially when it has to do with khushi.
