Delhi_
Anjali woke up in the morning with a start due to a bizzare dream.She saw an shirtless Aman pinning her to wall & looking intensely at her.While her cheeks were burning due to the furious blush.He was about to capture her lips when she woke up,completely drenched in sweat.She tried hard to control her frantically beating heart.
What the hell was that?
What the hell does that mean?
She closed her eyes & joined her palms in prayer to seek answers from Devi Maiyya.That was so so wrong.But why doesn't it felt wrong?Devi Maiyya winked naughtily.She just wanted everything right for her beloved devotee Anjali.And she knew very well what was right for her now.What she actually deserves & what should she get.
Anjali got ready & went in kitchen to make coffee for herself.She turned the gas regulator on & lit the burner to find that cylinder was empty.She hit her forehead in exasperation.She looked for the spare cylinder in whole house but didn't found one.Now she had no choice but to go to Aman,which she had willfully decided to avoid just after her dream in morning.The early morning dream was still afresh in her mind.Yet again,Devi Maiyya knows why but she blushed remembering it.She went over to Aman's flat.Door was open,so she didn't knocked & went inside.She called for Aman but got no response.She wondered where must he have been gone this early keeping the door wide open.
Anjali's eyes fell over Aman's framed photo kept in a corner of living room.He looked exceedingly handsome in it.The room was neatly arranged & to her surprise,neatly managed for a bachelor.She was impressed.She turned to take a good look at the whole house & bang...She found herself colliding on a hard body.A shirtless hard body.She gasped in shock.It was Aman who had just came out of the shower wearing just a towel around his waist,with wet hair & smokey hot body.Her both hands rested on his chiseled hard chest.Her eyes met his & she got lost in them.The track of time & place lost.Their eyelock was for what seemed like an eternity.Anjali Aman Rabba Ve started playing in the background.
She was wearing a green saree,his favorite color,which obviously had the expected effect on him.He was gazing at her dazed.He came some more close to her.Her cheeks started changing color from pink to red.She was too flustered to think straight.His eyes turned a shade darker when they fell over her rosy lips.Anjali felt dizzy when she saw the intensity in Aman's eyes.He literally imprisoned her with those expressive eyes,his morning fresh masculine aroma & the aura of power emitting from his whole being.Devi Maiyya decided to play along a lil bit more.
Anjali's mind was numb but a tiny part of her screaming that it was wrong.Her heart should have feel guilty for whatever she was feeling right now but Devi Maiyya only knew why but it was at peace.Her body,her soul,her whole being just gave into the flow.Aman on the other hand was somewhere in the dreamland.She was right there,in his house,so close to him.He felt like that was the most natural thing in the world.She was way too irresistible than his imagination.He raise his hand & tucked a loose tendril of her lock behind her ear.This fractional touch caused the goosebumps to appear over her whole body.Her cheeks stung due to the blush.
'Not the right Time.'Devi Maiyya overlooked her plan thoroughly.
Aman's landline rang to bring both of them out of the trance.Anjali backed off immediately,trying to compose herself.While Aman staggered back & excused himself before disapearing in to a room adjacent to living room.He returned back after getting dressed.Anjali was gone soon after he had went inside.He cursed himself for loosing control in front of her.
'What would have been she thinking.Hell you idiot Aman.'He scolded himself mentally.
'It had been written long back Aman bitwa.'Devi Maiyya thought & winked mischievously at her Tiger'Busa.
Mumbai_
Khushi woke up in the morning the next day.It was almost 9 & was raining heavily.The eventful night before flashed in front of her & her heart started beating in bullet speed.Now she got the reason behind her erratically beating heart.It was because of Arnav.It was because he had that effect on her.She blushed fiercely.
'Is it what they call attraction?'Khushi mumbled to herself.
'Yes yes.You are getting there Sanka Devi.'Devi Maiyya said with a kid's excitement.
'Or may be...No no...Yeh tu kya soche ja rahi hai Khushi...Pyar ...aur vo bhi uss Laad Governor se?'Khushi shrugged the thought & nodded a no frantically.
'What the!!And I thought everything is falling in place.I'v to take immediate action or this case would be out of my hands.'Devi Maiyya said incredulously & paced the length of her heavenly monitor room.Suddenly she got an idea & her face lightened with the glow.
Khushi came down stair after getting ready in hurry.She wanted to know,if whatever happened between her & Arnav last night,had affected him or not.She needed to know what does that mean.She needed to know if that even matters to him.She needed to talk to him to sort out & straighten some facts.She went to the lounge area where HP was cleaning the dining table.She asked him about Arnav.He told her that he had some important meeting so he left early in the morning & will be back in afternoon.She looked out through the window.Rain was pouring down like there was no tomorrow.She had heard & watched a lot about Mumbai rain over TV.Rain has literally stopped this frantically running mega city lots of time before & today it looked like the same.She was about to go to the kitchen to get herself something to eat when her phone rang.Anjaliji Calling.She answered it.
"Hello."
"Hello,how are you Khushiji."
"Hum bilkul thik hain Anjaliji.Aapne phone kaise kiya.Abhi kal toh humari baat hui thi.Vahan sab thik toh hai na?"
"Wo actually Khushiji,I was trying to call Chote but he is not responding.Could you please ask him to come over to the phone if he is around.Landline pe bhi phone nahi lag raha."
"Achha!But he is not here Anjaliji.In fact he is out to some meeting or something.HPji told me that he has left early in morning."
"Ok then.I'll try again.If he gets back from his meeting give him my message to call me back.Rakhte hain."
"Fine Anjaliji.You take care of yourself."
Khushi dropped the call & started having her breakfast thinking about Arnav.HP was at her service all the time with a grin plastered to his face.Khushi was lost in her own thoughts.She looked outside & it was still raining.
'Why isn't this Laad Governor taking Anjaliji's call?What if he was in some trouble?Barish bhi toh bahot hai.What if he had been stuck somewhere in the rain?Kuch toh karna padega.Kuch soch Khushi,Kuch soch.'She mumbled while biting her nails & occasionally rusk in front of her.Today she wasn't in mood to just gobble anything that she found eatable.
After having her breakfast,Khushi punched Arnav's mobile number on her keypad,which she had got from HPji.It was ringing but going over to the voicemail at the end unattended.She threw her cell on bed in frustration after 4th futile attempt.
'How dare he not answer Khushi Kumari Gupta's call'.She thought angrily but soon composed herself thinking that he doesn't know her number.
Khushi dialed Arnav's number once again & the call reached his voicemail box once again.She slumped down on bed helplessly with pouted lips & eyed the cell in her hand which was still connected to Arnav's cell.She had no idea She had suddenly grown worried about him.
'Why are you not answering?Aapko pata hai hum kitne pareshaan hain.Please come back soon.'She said looking at the phone's screen as if talking to him,unaware of her self talk being recorded into Arnav's voicemail box.
She kept her cell aside & threw herself back on bed & got lost in Arnav's thoughts.She drifted off to sleep after sometime.Khushi was happily Rabba Ve'ing with Barun Sobti in dream & suddenly he changed into Arnav & Rabba Ve changed into Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai.Arnav had pinned her to poolside wall.He was just centimeters apart from her & they were about to almost kiss when she woke up with a start.She looked at the watch the first thing.She has been sleeping for an hour.Her heart was beating erratically & her cheeks were flushed due to extreme blush.She splash some water on her face to get fresh & shrug her wayward dream off her thoughts.When it doesn't worked,Khushi did what she does best on such occasions.She went straight to the kitchen,biting nails & mumbling inaudible musings to herself all the way,to make her stress reliever Jalebis.
After half an hour She had piles of suger deeped,piping hot jalebis ready.She had hardly ate her 1st jalebi when Arnav entered the kitchen & stood in front of him at some distance,with searching eyes,as if trying to read her face.Khushi hide the sense of relief she felt after seeing him with much efforts.She knew that he could read her like open book & she didn't intend to let him know what was going on her mind then.She turned & resumed her jalebi making to avoid meeting his eyes.
"Khooshee...I'm talking to you."Arnav said huskily.
Khushi turned to look at him.She was too flustered by his sudden appearance in kitchen.Only if HPji was here to rescue her out of her current misery.Where the hell is his infamous 'wrong timing'?Devi Maiyya did her victory dance in advance who had this time sent HP to market,who won't be returning anytime soon.She wanted this mission to be accomplished ASAP.'Now you both have to admit it Dammit'.Devi Maiyya was today 'heaven bent' on making them confess.
"Toh tumne mujhe phone kiya tha?"Arnav said looking straight into Khushi's eyes,who was trying to escape his captivative one's.
"Phone...Nahi toh...Kab?"She replied in her not-at-all-convincible'y-pretending voice.
"I don know...Abhi...mere aane se pehle.Kuch keh rahi thi tum.Like asking me to come back soon or something."He said in his sexy voice.
"Inhe kaise pata chala?"Khushi mumbled inaudibly."Humne aisa kuch nahi kiya."She said out loud crossing her arms across her petite form.
Arnav cocked an eyebrow at her & fetched his cell out of pocket.He punched some keys on it & held his phone in front of her.Khushi's voice reverberated in air.
'Why are you not answering?Aapko pata hai hum kitne pareshaan hain.Please come back soon.'
Khushi was surprised but she showed her face otherwise.
"So you were worried.Itni pareshan ki tumne mujhe 5 baar call kiya.You wanted me to come back soon.Right?"Arnav said in the huskiest voice possible & looked down at her with his killer loapsided smirk.
"Dekhiye,ye humari aawaz nahi hai."She snapped at him furiously.
"Really."Saying Arnav grabbed his cell again & flashed it in front of her to play the voicemail message again.
"Baand kijiye isse.I told you already,it's not my voice.Besides it doesn't matter to me,if you come back soon or not.Aap kuch bhi kare hume is'se kya."She pointed her finger at him & shrugged her shoulders.
"Tumhe koi faraq nahi padta?"Arnav asked amusedly.
Devi Maiyya sighed in exasperation & hit her head on the heaven poolside wall after hearing both of their arguments.''Stop it you both,will you?''She said incredulously.But when they continued their childish game of denial,Devi Maiyya raised her hand in final gesture.
'That's it.Enough is enough.I'll have to use my full proof arrow to tackle these two stubborn grown up kids.'She decided to intervene by introducing a new entry in tale.
"Bilkul nahi.Hume koi farak..."Words trailed away when both heard someone's boomingly excited voice from outside the house.
"I'M HERE DI..."
