Arnav couldn't control himself and hugged her for hurting her feelings unknowingly..He was not aware of the occasion today. In true sense she didnt have anyone apart from her father. He had many times consoled her but the loss and the feeling of lonliness in life which has no particular path to follow and no one to support in life is truly horrendous. Khushi was different from other girls. No one would ever think of being happy just to satisfy father's wishes and she meant her love and affection towards her loved ones more than her own life.The cool breeze at this night time soothed both of them making them oblivious of the surrounding.
Khushi's only place for finding solace her dream man's arms. He has rescued her from as per the dream, he has taken her away from her place. Will she remain forever inside this cocoon cuddling herself to the protective arms of her husband. Spontaneous and Unconsciously her arms also participated in the hug to experience the ultimate comfort. Her thoughts, attitude and the stern belief that it should be Arnav who should understand her vanished. She sensed her dream where she had first realised her man her saviour Arnav who appeared to be in real. SHe longed to tell him about her dream but instantly thought against it as she wanted to tell him about the dream in a very special moment. That day is not so far she thought.
Arnav: Sorry Khushi.. I didnt know...
Khushi: Hey dont be sorry.. I couldnt help it.. I got reminded of him with your gesture. I was controlling my tears from the morning. It came out when I saw you.I can share my tears only with you now.
Arnav could feel that comfort she is enjoying but the only intriguing doubt was does she really mean it?Will she accept him as her husband? The love she showers should not be as a result of her gratitude but whole hearted love. He understood that all her actions were a sort of drama on being professional. SHe might be testing his love he thought.Arnav smiled at with Khushi in his arms tightening his grip.
Khushi snapped out of her dream land with that extra posessive grip and held on to her attitude back when she saw him smirking at her.
Khushi : Excuse me What are you laughing at me Laad Governor?
Arnav: Nothing.. I was thinking about your antics.
Khushi : Oh really.. now get into the car fast. we have to go. its already late.
Arnav: Excuse me.. I bought you jalebis.. Cant u say a thanks?
Khushi: Why do you need a thanks? Its a duty of a husband to console a wife and to buy whatever she likes.In fact I expected this from you long back, you are too late boss.
Arnav : Un believable!! I cant surely stand your craziness at this cold night that too on the middle of the road.Get in fast.
Khushi :Thats what I told you. Lets move..
They both got into the car and started to drive towards his house.
Arnav: By the by where is Akash and Dhruv?
Khushi : uh.. good question and too early to ask. Why cant we ask this to your brothers for the next treat?
Arnav: Not funny. You seem to try to make sarcastic comments but its really stupid.
Khushi : aw.. how can you call that stupid.. so what was that you did of not asking your brothers why didnt they arrive as soon as you reached the hotel. I think they have more brains than you. They must have thought to leave us alone I think.
Arnav: Alone? But why?
Khushi : To play cricket.. what else?
Arnav ( smirking): I dont mind playing anything with you.
Khushi : What?
Arnav: Nothing.. we have reached home. Now if di interrogates you...
Khushi: Why would she interrogate me? This party was to cheer up me.. None could attend other than you. So dont feel so high of yourself as if you did some special favour to me.. Good night.
Arnav held her wrist from getting down. He pulled back her into the seat and looked at her eyes.. He placed the other hand on it.
Arnav: Sorry.. if I had hurt you. I didnt mean to hurt you, please dont hate me.
Khushi felt like her heart stopped for a while. Here she is just fooling around him to show she also love him like him but he has taken it for real. She couldnt break down infront of him. SHe controlled herself and smiled at him
Khushi : No.. I dint feel bad Arnav.. Please dont use big words like Hate and all... Thank you so much .. Good Night.
She rushed to her room and fell on the bed crying hardly. SHe had made him feel bad.. WHat has she given back to his love just pain? The one soul who love her in her life is suffering because of her. SHe didnt consider his situation of how difficult is for him to convince his family on their relationship. If he is not sure of her wish how could he convince them. She was inviting more troubles for him she thought. It was more of her selfishness to wait till he finds out that she loved him. She made a decision that she is not going to continue this professional drama and be ready to confess her love to him tomorrow. Debris from the water will be cleared tomorrow to see herself as a new Khushi who is going to confess her love to her Dream Prince. With that happiness she retired to bed waiting for the dream to appear again.
Arnav was sure that something was not fine in her. He had confessed his feelings to her but in a brutal way, he had not confessed but he shouldnt hurt her feelings.He had apologised to her as well.. Today somehow he understood that it was not her original self who is doing all this so the next step to make her reveal her love.. He got an idea on how to tame his attitude showing wife and was waiting for the next day morning to show her what happens if she mess with ASR! He was sure that this would click and soon their path will be cleared. He smiled to himself and went to sleep.
One part of the love goes into dream other one wants to give her a reality check.. Destiny search for something else...Whats that??😕
Morning time in RM has become an usual routine for Khushi. Being her sasural, she has been doing all the duties. Anjali met a refreshing Khushi in the morning whose face was glowing better than yesterday
Anjali: Good Morning Khushi.. How are you today? How was the dinner? SOrry for not accompanying you. Hope my brothers didnt bore you with their talks..
Khushi : No di.. It was very good.
Anjali : Thats nice Khushi, I want to see you happy like this forever..I wish you get a good partner who will make you happy and contended. I wish you stayed with us...
Khushi could feel herself blushing at the thought of being the Daughter in law of the house and conquering all of them with their love. She prayed for the words to get real soon. Dhruv was crossing by the hall with his bed coffee.
"Wow.. Di likes Bhabhi. If she agrees to their marriage my route would be cleared. So I need bhabhi's help in my matter..
Dhruv saw Anjali moving out and he soon entered and took Khushi near by his room.
Khushi was stunned and tried to get freed from his grip but couldnt. She thought all his brothers are so adamant in doing their things on their way.
Khushi : What is this Dhruv?
Dhruv : Please one second.. first have your seat bhabhi..
Khushi: No Dhruv.. this is not fair. I mean.. ( shocked) wait what did you call me?
Dhruv( smiling) : My bhabhi.. I know you are my bhai's wife in legal terms. Akash told me everything.
Khushi was shocked and felt little tensed.
Dhruv: Bhabhi.. dont worry. I wont let this truth out to anyone. FOr me my bhai is more important and now you too also gets into the list.
Khushi smiled at her ever loving and supporting devar.
Khushi : Thanks Dhruv..
Dhruv: How was your date yesterday ?
Khushi : Date? You both were supposed to attend and why did you back out?
Dhruv: We didnt want to intrude into your privacy bhabhi...
Khushi: oho... anyways I would have enjoyed more if you all had accompanied rather than looking into your khadoos brother's face.
Dhruv: Khadoos ? No bhabhi... He is nice at heart. He gets angry very fast thats the problem.
Khushi : But not with me though
Khushi smiled when Dhruv asked hit the nail on the right spot
Dhruv: Bhabhi, shall I ask you for an obligation as your devar?
Khushi : hmm.. so early? yea... ok granted.
DHruv : Please promise me that you would make bhai and others in the family agree to this.. especially Di..
Khushi( felt suspicious.): OK tell me..
DHruv: Bhabhi I love Shraddha and she loves me too. I need help from you and bhai to marry her.
DHruv explained his whole story to Khushi who was listening with open mouth. Her fear on how Shraddha would feel if her marriage with Arnav gets cancelled has no relevance now. She has a much bigger assignment now as a bhabhi. She was happy that it was a way to mingle with the family. The status of a daughter emerging to the daughter in law post, bhabhi post and a wife post was indeed a joy for any girl. Dhruv has surrendered his entire love life on her hands. She had to execute this matter so cautiously.
Khushi : OK Dhruv.. I agree to this. DOnt worry. I need help from you, Akash and Payal too.
Dhruv: DOne.. what about Arnav Bhai?
Khushi : Sigh... thats my first mission. Dont worry I will make him agree to this.
Dhruv: Oh God.. Thanks bhabhi..I know you can and you only can... you are so sweet.. I will be your slave from now on bhabhi..
Khushi: My Slave??😆😆 OK.. now arrange for a meeting with Shradhha somewhere outside tomorrow..
Dhruv : Okay done!
Khushi : You love her Dhruv.. Your love will make you united. Have hopes
on your love. FIrst let me convince that Laad Governor on this.
Khushi after agreeing to help his brother for the love matter entered into Arnav' s room for clearing herself. SHe wanted to show him how much she loved him. Her shyness and her nervousness bound together drained out her strength from speaking to her.
Arnav had freshened up and was ready in his suit. Khushi knew she was late but her Arnav wont be late any day. She opened his room with the coffee and kept it on his table. He was ready in a black suit and looking stunning. He was working on his laptop and found his Khushi in cute red salwar as if attracting him towards her. He thought about his new idea and smirked.
Arnav: Good morning my professional wife. You are late today.
Khushi : Good morning Arnav.. Sorry was talking to Di and Dhruv.
Arnav: No ways how can you forget professionalism Ms. Gupta? You are the owner of the entire Gupta enterprise and you cant give such silly reasons.
Saying thus he moved towards her who was watching him nervously and baffled at his strange turn of his behaviour..ASR the Lion is always the King. The King was seductively passionately intesely walking towards his queen.
Arnav :Mrs. Kushi Arnav Raizada as per our official records, you are my wife right?
Khushi ( suspiciously) :Yes.. so??
Arnav moves forward and Khushi steps backward, he leans forward towards her making her hit the leg of the bed and she falls on it. Arnav leans on her closely..
Arnav ( smirking) : So if you behave so professional towards your husband, I should also behave professional towards my wife!
Khushi (stammering ) : Wh.. what to do you mean?
Arnav : ASR is perfect when it comes to profession.. So I am going to execute my professionalism..
Khushi's eyes widened hearing those nectar words in his husky voice combined with chocolate brown eyes giving a naughty look hypnotising her.
Khushi : Wh ... What are you going to do Arnav?
Arnav: Same like what you did for me..
Khushi raised her eyebrows for further explanation. Now her plans are getting reversed..He went near her ears and moved the strands of hair behind it to get easy access of communication. His touch was sending shivers to her spines and the proximity made her senses go haywire. He leaned closer near her ear.
Arnav: Mrs.Raizada.. You look beautiful today.
Khushi closed her eyes not able to control the sweetness of his voice and nectar coated words.Before Arnav could lean near her eyes and say anything more, he heard a knock at his door.
Anjali : Chotte..Chotte.. Open the door.. where are you?
