Chapter#24
Arnav couldn't sleep all night; all he had thought about was Khushi. He felt like a monster, like a beast. He didn't know how to talk to Khushi. And then there was Khushi's diary...
He wanted to read more but he knew he shouldn't. He wanted to read when he had crushed her hopes. Hopes for what, Arnav thought. He was going crazy of confusion. He wanted to ask her or go the easier way that is read her diary. But he knew tomorrow morning the first thing she is going to do is question him. She would question him about why he brought her on the bed. She'd drive him crazy. But then he liked being driven crazy by her. He smiled to himself.
What the hell? Where did that come from? Arnav thought to himself.
Arnav smiled to himself and thought that he had to fix everything. He had to fix everything for Khushi. With that thought being, he slept right next to her.

Arnav woke up as the sun rays fell on his face. He rubbed his eyes and turned to the other side when he felt something soft against him. He opened his eyes to see a peaceful sleeping face trying to snuggle closer into his chest. For a second he didn't know what was happening but as he got familiar with the surroundings he just stared at Khushi's face.
As she snuggled closer, a small smile spread on his lips and he wrapped his arms around her carefully and she rested her head on his warm and muscular chest. And he slept once again but this time with a satisfied smile.
*
After another two hours, Arnav was again the first one to wake up. He took a few minutes to look at Khushi and then at a snail's pace he took his arms off her and tucked her carefully in the blanket.
As he took a bath and dressed for his office he heard a knock on the door. It was Anjali.
"Chote!" - Anjali uttered excitedly.
Arnav quickly shushed her and signaled that Khushi is sleeping. Anjali bit her nails and muttered a sorry as both of them came outside shutting the door behind.
"Chote, you wouldn't believe!" -Anjali exclaimed breathlessly.
"What is it Di?" -Arnav frowned.
"You know the NGO, today it is finally going to run! I am so excited you have no idea. When Aman called in this morning I couldn't believe. My wish has finally come true. Now I can finally go and work there." -Anjali clapped her hands in happiness and hugged Arnav.
"That's amazing news Di." -Arnav hugged her back. At least you won't waste your time in all these poojas which don't even work." -Arnav added teasingly.
"Woh tou main pir bhi keroon gi. And they work, alright?" -Anjali playfully punched him.
"Of-course." -Arnav shook his head in amusement.
"Oh and the most important thing! I've held a grand party aur arrangements bhi hogayi hain. So don't worry. Just be back by 6 and tell Khushi jee. Okay don't I will actually?" -Anjali quickly said and ran off as she remembered there was so much she had to do on list.
"Unbelievable." -Arnav said and walked back inside the room to find an empty bed.
Uh-Oh, she must have woken up while I was outside. Arnav thought and before Khushi could come outside he left for office and ignored the breakfast.
Why did he run? Because he was afraid of her questions. He didn't know how to answer them. He didn't want to answer why he put her on the bed, on his side. He didn't even know it himself. He wanted to apologize but he couldn't. He couldn't find words for her or for the apology. He needed time; he needed time to prepare himself for the words. A simple word. Arnav was a man of few words and he didn't know if he could speak in front of her or show her his face again.
*
As Khushi woke up, she had expected that her body would be cramped up but when she felt the fabric around her with her eyes still close in sleep it was soft, very soft and her eyes opened up in a click. Khushi's eyes widened and she sat up with a jolted up straight in the bed.
"How the hell did I get here?" -She whispered to herself.
She was scared out of her wits. She knew she had slept on the recliner while writing her diary but then how did she get here. And the only thing that was coming to her mind was Arnav. Had he brought me here? Khushi thought while biting her nails.
Khushi heard his voice outside and before he could come in she jumped off to the washroom.
*
When Khushi come downstairs, she was glad he had left. She didn't want to look at him; it was embarrassment and anger. Laad governor! What does he think of himself? He can't just pick me up and place me on the bed! And after what he did. I won't talk to him. He shall suffer in ignorance. Khushi mumbled to herself and stomped her feet.
As she entered the kitchen and came face to face with an extra excited and worried Anjali, she questioned her and was told about the happenings. And all the ladies of the house were on with the preparations of the party.
*
When Arnav reached the office, he couldn't take his mind off Khushi. He couldn't distract himself but his mind was all off it once he saw Nk in the parking talking to a few men. When Nk saw Arnav he asked the men to go away and when Arnav reached to him, Arnav was looking at the ground, embarrassed.
"I know that look; say what you want to say." -Nk crossed his arms and stood looking at Arnav. Arnav couldn't bring out any words and just stood there quietly for a few minutes.
"Okay, I am sorry." -Nk stood in defeat and Arnav just looked at him with confusion evident on his face. Arnav was about to speak but he stopped him.
"Later that night, I realized that you had meant something else and I misunderstood you. I thought you said that you didn't believe Me. Sorry..." -Nk smiled slightly. "And I know you wouldn't have apologized anyway you freak!" -Nk punched Arnav's shoulder and laughed while Arnav just smiled at him.
*
Khushi had done almost everything and was ready to cook for the party when Anjali came.
"Khushi jee... you just have to make the dessert, rest of the food has been ordered and Rehan will bring them." - Anjali smiled. Khushi was about to say something when Anjali's phone rang.
Rehan? Now who is that? Khushi thought to herself.
"Yeah, I was just talking about you. Can you please drop the decorations right now? I'd be grateful." -Anjali said while lines formed on her forehead. "Yeah you can take revenge later." -Anjali laughed.
Khushi stopped listening to Anjali's conversation and started to prepare for the desert.
*
Some minutes later, there was a hassle all around the house and the door bell rang. Khushi had her hands dirty and she ran to the door to open it. With great difficulty she opened the door and her eyes widened with shock and she stood rooted to the spot.
"Khushi...?" -A strong manly voice spoke in confusion.
