Chapter 3 :
Quiet absent mindedly, she held his hands to stop him. She then, stood infront of him on her toes, encircled her hands around his neck...bought her face near his eyes and tried to suck the tears that filled his eyes. It was like a passionate kiss. Arnav too, unconsciously, held her waist, feeling that pleasure of her kiss near his eyes.
For the time being they forgot, that they have just met, or where they were standing. All they wanted to do was take in each other's pleasure and sorrows. After she was done with one eye, her lips lingered to his another eyes. Arnav too, tilted his face for her ease...and tightened his grip on her waist. Just as she was about to caress his another eyes with her rosy lips, a car coming from behind honked at them.
Both became aware of what they were doing and where. Khushi quickly removed her hands from his neck and he from her waist. Both shifted to footpath to make way for the car...both embarrassed at what they just did. They looked here and there to avoid eye contact. Finally, Both decided to break this awkward silence.
"Sorry!", both said simultaneously.
"No..u don't...", both said, yet again and smiled at their coincidence and continued their walk.😳 Blushing simultaneously.
"So, tell me something about you Rival! ", Arnav chuckled.
"Well, I am Khushi Kumari Gupta.", Khushi was interrupted by him.
"Of course I know that! Tell me more. I mean, you are my FriVal, so I must know about you!"
"FriVal?", Khushi asked.
"Friend+Rival = FriVal.", He winked.
Khushi laughed at his humour..then, she continued, " Um..okay! I belong to a well off family. I used to live in Delhi. After school I left my Dad's place, on his permission, to add on..because I wanted to be independent. And after 2yrs of my college, I started working in Sharma uncle's bookstore."
"Hmm...Independent Rival! Well, now my introduction. I am an orphan...I..", Khushi put her finger on his lips☺️...
"Shhh...I know everything about you! Don't need to say everything again and re-live your bad times!", she hushed him. Arnav gave a weak smile to her. She bought her hands down and they resumed their walk. They kept on walking, talking about almost everything...listening to one another, never realising that they had moved ahead of their destination.
"Erm...Rival, why we came here?😆 I think we had plan for dinner!", Finally, Arnav remembered. Khushi too remembered about the dinner.
"I think we got very much engrossed in knowing each other", remarked Khushi.
They exchanged smiles , then Arnav said while touching his tummy, " We came really far from our destination and I am feeling really very hungry."
"Me too", she said. Suddenly, their tummy gave a funny growl. They looked at each other and started laughing😆. Finally they stopped and Arnav started looking for any nearby restaurant. He then spotted a roadside stall...he hesitantly asked her..
"Erm...Ms. Well-off Rival, would it be comfortable for you to eat there?", He said while pointing at a street stall.
"Chaat! I would LOVE to eat there! ", Khushi said in an excited voice.
"Especially, when that spicy green chutney, which never fails to bring tears in your eyes..", she continued, while acting how it feels when you eat something spicy!😆
Arnav was enjoying her childish behaviour. He was a bit attracted towards her😳.
"Lets go then!", he exclaimed.
"What are waiting for?", she said and grabbed his hands and almost dragged him to the shop. There Khushi ordered almost everything. Arnav was stunned. He asked in an hesitant tone.
"Ms. Rival, is ur large enough to accept these large inputs?😕"
"Arnav, are you invisible? Or, you don't have stomach? Or did u came alone here? C'mon! I am ordering for both of us!", said Khushi.
"Oh! Sorry! I sometimes don't use of common sense.", he said in a sheepish tone.
"You have it?", Khushi asked while taking a plate Bhelpuri.
"Yaa.", he said in "of course" tone.
"I doubt it!", teased Khushi.
"What the...", Arnav said, while harshly putting poor paper plate on nearby table and made sad face like a 8 yr old kid.
"Aww...Sorry sorry! Here, take a bit now!", she said while putting a spoonful of Bhelpuri. But Arnav didn't open his mouth and looked at the other side.
"Arnav! Don't act like Balloon-less 8yrs old kid!", Khushi rebuked.
'Balloon-less kid?', Arnav thought and looked towards her to ask..
"What does...mmm", As he opened his mouth to ask she stuffed the Bhelpuri inside his mouth.
"Haha...", Khushi laughed. Seeing her laughing, he too laughed...ermm...Tried to laugh!😆 They then ate their stuffs like age-old hungers. Khushi then again dragged Arnav to the stall and ordered 2 plates of paani-puri. If Paani puri was a living being...Khushi would have been declared it biggest fan by now!😆
Arnav watched as Khushi gobbled down her part. A smile crept on his face. As she was gobbling down her last paani puri, that spicy water came out of her mouth. Arnav chuckled at it and wiped it from her lips. After they were done, Arnav made way to stall to pay...when Khushi pushed him aside like a kid and ran towards the stall to pay. She knew what was the price and quickly paid the shopkeeper.
Arnav didn't get any time to realise what just happened. He stood there, holding some change, mouth open in shock.
"Bingo!", Exclaimed Khushi.
"But...that was treat by me!", Arnav contradicted.
"No more ifs and But...Lets go now!", Khushi said.
"But.."
"Shh..."
"Crazy woman", he mumbled.
"What?", she questioned.
"Nothing..", he said and clasped her hands and started walking. They never knew when their clasped hand changed into entangled hands. Unconsciously, they were caressing each other's hand...walking in an endless limit of dark road.
Beginning of their love probably!😳
