PART 20 A

The moment he saw the scarlet red creeping her face which came out involuntarily he stood up and took long steps to reach her couch and stood on his knees infront of her. He looked into her eyes which was still searching answers for the questions.

Arnav : Khushi.. I am sorry.. I am terribly sorry. He begged with teary eyes.

The ridiculous brain waves making a ruckus inside just not able to digest the fact she had been witnessing..She had never seen this man uttered this word with so much regret.The intensity of the salt tears which were flowing through the deep molten eyes just scratched her pain with a tease. Has this led to a point where his tears mirrored her as the culprit ? What has he done to her? Her eyes bore its focus on his without any movement of the iris shaking her mind to face the real Arnav sitting on his knees infront of her.

Arnav slowly took her palms to cup his cheeks wiping off the beads of tears which were moistening his cheeks.He knew that this side of his was a real shocker to her but he couldnt make himself shut his emotions infront of the person who holds the major part of contribution in his existence. No one can deny her selflesness when it came to a part of surrendering her life to a sadist. Her inner conscience had an uprising horror of something that's going to blow up in some time which was evident to him. He promised himself that whatever happens should be in favour of what is good for her and most importantly her choice.

Arnav : Khushi.. You must be wondering about the sudden change in me.. Even I am not out of that shock.. He chuckled slowly making her raise an eyebrow for that unexpected dig on himself and a small sarcastic smile.

Arnav : Khushi.. I am not going to justify myself. There was an indegenous drive of anger in me. The reason well known to you and many others. I was making myself confine into the stringent walls of my heart with the lonliness Khushi. Making myself adhering to the fact that someone should be only for me alone. Might be due to the high end jealousy that I experienced from the start among my cousins and friends. This had inflicted a deep wound in myself which had been soothed by your presence, by your looks, by your words whatever I dont know. It led to taking full advantage over you which you yourself didnt resist.

Khushi tried to turn away her face thinking of those golden moments when she had been smitten by his charm. She was naive to be very much attracted by him that she had been thinking about him till he came back. Much to her increasing happiness he had also admitted his feeling that he wanted her in his life.

Arnav saw the slight change in her face thinking about those teenage days when they were deeply infactuated. It couldnt be called love or affection it was just an infactuation which made them not forget each other till they met the second time at Raizada mansion during Anjali's delivery. Arnav smiled at his own thought.

Arnav : Khushi... I had been under the impression that the more you gave in for my choices the more you were similar like me. Though you had shown your displeasure at times I have thrusted on you my choices and likes as though you are my slave. Yes.. The right word. Slave?Isnt it?

She cocked her eyebrows in doubt on how easily he had derived explanations for what all he did for her? What was the realisation dawned on him he thought?

Arnav: Slavery I behaved something more likely by treating you as my doll who would dance to my tunes. The pathetic six years that followed were like some dungeon you had fallen into. I had been making your life horrible every single minute taking my pleasure out of every single time forgetting your happiness.

It was an impromptu word as pathetic. The moment she heard the word as pathetic her nose flared in anger and her eyes started to spit fire which he could really understand. He moved in near her to understand her reaction. The next moment he could feel her palms slightly flashing across his cheeks in an instant reaction. The intensity of the slap though not affecting him much as the pain within himself was uncomparable to this.

Khushi : Might be pathetic for you.. Not for me! Because I loved you! She retorted back with an angry glare which scared him so easily.

She constricted her eyelids tightly to let flow her tears hanging around the brim. He could feel that he had hit her on the fatal spot and the magnitude of this effect was much higher in her.

Arnav : Khushi.. I didnt mean that way... Yes.. the usage of words might be wrong. The truth is undeniable. I was treating you badly Khushi.

She struggled to leave her hands from his hold while he tightened his grip on her palms streching himself to settle near her keeping the head on her lap. The moment she felt his head on her lap she got lost. Lost in the pool of deadly sweet memories she had been sharing with him. Whenever he wanted to have the solace he sought her lap to vent out his feelings. She closed her eyelids while he continued.

Arnav : I was truly enchanted by your presence Khushi.. I could feel that I had been a different personality before and after I met you especially with our long journey of 6 years.At last instead of showing gratiude towards you for making me a human being, I made you stop yourself from continuing your work, disturbed your family and above all I played with your morals. I can give it a true reason as to the fear of losing you but there was a point where I was thrown to the edge when you confronted me that day Khushi. A fear of losing you especially when your parents were so confident that you were struggling to survive in my hold. I felt like you were moving away from me for good. That arouse the animal in me infact worser than animal. I shouldnt have uttered those words but it came out of my mouth blowing our lifes into a deep hell.

He clutched her hands tighter and his head shifting inside her lap deeper to reduce his tears. She caught up his head with one hand while the other one still under his clutch. A fair amount of hair on her fist which curled and compressed making it more painful for Arnav not physically but the heaviness she was releasing with the gesture.

Arnav : Those words did prove true Khushi. I was a sadist, a jerk, a selfish beast who couldnt understand what you were to me instead blurted out something which insulted the relationship. I cant forgive myself for that slip of the words though I wasnt in my senses but I cant attribute that sin to my anger alone.. Your tears made me realise that in the next moment. Why on earth I had to see your tears to come out of the tangling web of this anger? I cursed myself for being a monstrous psychopath as soon as you left the room. I could feel your heart shattering into pieces Khushi. I am sorry... though I dont deserve an apology I have to ...

He closed his eyes letting out more tears to flow through her lap which she could feel. She loosened her tight grip on his hair and smoothened them. She sighed with utmost resentment on how fate had pushed them into the edge that day. She could feel how he might have regretted after hurting her. He wouldnt have even had a second thought to hurt himself physically for his act. Despite the turmoil he was facing he had chosen an option of what she had cursed him.

Arnav : I couldnt think straight but only one way I found was to deal it with proper stands. I visited the pshychatrist to get away from this innate nature as if it can be just shoved off from me. Then it was like a magic spell Khushi. The eagerness in me to get off this suppression and anger led to meet the most important person of my life whom I had hated to the core, who was the reason for this anger, who had been the reason for my existence and ultimately who became a cause of my transformation.

He looked up to meet her eyes which were shocked at the confession. Her fingers on his hair hadnt left his hold and his fingers hadnt left hers. She just looked at with awe on what he was about utter on his mother.

Arnav : There had been insistence from your part to visit her. Had I listened to you Khushi I wouldnt have to see this day like this. But I do agree at one point there are always hard ways of learning which increases the worth. She was like ray of light in my darkness the place which you had occupied for six years. She proved me wrong everytime. I learnt how difficult her life had passed with the guilt of leaving me. She had wallowed with the guilt inside and suffered at the end. I reckon my guilt had given me an instant suffering to be extended for life time. Khushi she made me understand life as you did but the impact was much more intensified as I had lost the perennialpart in my life that is you.A hope of getting you back was getting me into the treatment with positive vibes. But a harsh reality of how and why was hitting my practicality. How can I expect to get redemption was a fatal question within myself. Finally she too left this world, I wont say she left me as she still survives with a new life inside me promising to be with me at each and every second of my life. If I can confidently face you and talk about this then the sole reason should be her persistent efforts to bring the individual Arnav in me and the treatment I had received from my Doctor, the fruits of the self control, the meditation I had undergone. I can clearly see the difference in me but I cant let anyone give my judgement about myself while I feel people should distinguish the difference in me rather than me imposing anyone. He said with a sigh of relief as if releasing his entire burden of his heart on her shoulders.

Khushi shuddered for a moment at the thought of a self introspected man, she was unable to move her legs and hands as if it was numb and cold. She slowly struggled herself to pull the hands from his hold and stood up. Arnav watched her each and every move with concentration anticipating her reaction continuing to standing on his knees. She moved away from him to stand by the window of the apartment which was facing towards the crowded city revealing the darkness of the city illuminated by the artifical lights. Arnav fixed his gaze from the same position on his knees while she removed her spectacles as if it was tainted with dirt that muddled her sight.A faint voice started to flow from her side making Arnav open his senses clearly to take in her reaction whatever it may be.

Khushi: I am sorry for Manasi aunty. I wasnt informed about her demise. She said with a remorse in her eyes where tears trailed down in memory of her mother in law.

Arnav : Ma had told me about how you made her agree for the treatment and felt proud about her daughter in law being so kind and beautiful. He replied back with a smirk but didnt realise about the word he uttered so casually. Daughter in law? Does he deserve to say the word anymore was the next thought encountered his mind.

Khushi : Very soothing to hear that word from your mouth. Ma.. such a pure divine word which had taken years to get respect from you. I am overwhelmed to hear about aunty getting back her son in her last moments. She had been dying to see you for atleast once. She wiped her tears across her cheeks while the eyes traversed across the bustling city crowd though the focus was on the matter she had been conversing.

Arnav: hmm.. A son who got his mother and his sanity back too. He stated as a matter of fact just to emphasize on his part of joy he had experienced with his mother.

Khushi crossed her hands across her chest leaning on the window pane. She had a lump in her throat before asking him the next question but it had with great difficulty to open her dam of feelings.

Khushi : You got everyone back for yourself. I am happy for you too. She trailed down her voice with the expectation of a bursting volcano which would come out as a result of this statement.

Arnav was more smart in finding out her sarcasm. She might have expected her anger to crop up instead he chuckled at her loudly.

Arnav : I posess everyone but I lost myself to someone which is still irrevocable. He gave back at her sarcasm.

Khushi : I guess more than clearing your mind you have got into more confusions. Its funny that you call your six years of relationship as pathetic and sauve. Now feeling low for losing yourself to this person?Khushi revolted with a slight anger invoking in her.

Arnav mentally cursed himself for such a statement that he had made sometime back.

Arnav: Khushi I didnt mean that way. I was treating you .. He tried to explain with a reason while she interrupted.

Khushi : How dare you call it pathetic? You think I suffered under you? You think I was accepting you out of force? You didnt think about the love I had in you? Do you think that love had forced me to accept your ways and be your slave? I had loved the ASR who had authority in me, who posesssed me with might, who could turn this world upside down for me.. Not this transformed Arnav who calls the relationship as dominance and insult my love. You have become spineless a coward for calling what we shared as something horrible. If you hadnt met me here you would have just left this relationship like that instead of giving it a second thought. Isnt it Mr.Raizada? Her eyes were burning with rage making her clutch the window sill tight.

Arnav : Khushi .. you are taking it in a wrong way.. I was thinking about your perspective than mine.. I had always enjoyed each and every moment with you.. You had made my life colourful I have never regretted any moment except the final blow from my end. He tried to clarify by standing up.

Khushi : Forget it...I am just going out of the way. After that day I had totally felt the world spinning underneath me. Later when Akash bhaiyaa told me how my parents had initiated in such a scene I could faintly understand your need to force them about how much power you had in me physically too. Both of you had clearly run a battle with me in between. All I could do was support my mother who had given birth to me who had high hopes on me. I couldnt think clearly on what and how I would proceed my life with you I am used to the decision making of others which had inflicted me that Im not able to decide for myself.. I am still... Khushi sobbed hardly keeping her head on the window sill getting support from it.

Arnav rushed behind her and held her shoulders from drooping down. One touch was enough for her lean back on his chest resting her head wher she felt it like a paradise. He couldnt resist more than keep his chin on her head closing the eyes while they savored the instant for some relief.

Khushi : I didnt even think of your situation when I called you sadist and talked about your mother. How rude of me? I shouldnt have let myself utter those horrendous words without considering the impact that would affect you. I had been a bit over driven by the affection towards my mother that blinded me to think right of the situation. Please forgive me. Her words came out throatily bringing out the effect of her turmoil breaking the shakcles of her insecurities and fear.

Arnav : shh... Dont Khushi... now dont apologise... I should be the one to apologise for whatever I did and said to you... Arnav caressed her hair to his heart's content where as Khushi regained herself to ask him the most important question.

Khushi : Why did this happen to us? What happened to our life within a jiffy? Why were we pushed into such a situation Laddoo ? She asked him with utmost doubt in her voice but she could feel his jaw turning into a smile in her hair..She had called him laddoo an assurance for him that she loved him still.

Arnav : It had to happen Jalebi. Otherwise my anger wouldnt have found a seizure, I wouldnt have met my mother and all the more I wouldnt have realised your worth. He moved his fingers towards her nape making her face bring close to his neck.

Khushi : I knew your anger the extend to which it go but that day I became so vulnerable that I couldnt realise its extent. I know those words werent from your mouth. If you had thought that I had been with you for just money you wouldnt have bought a channel in my name just to see my ambition achieved Mr.Arnav Singh Raizada. She smiled through her tears when he pulled back to face her.

Arnav : Did Lavanya tell you? There is nothing money related Khushi.. It was just to see the smile back on your face.. He stated with a fear that she might mistake him of getting her into the financial quandary.

Khushi : No.. Did you forget that I worked in media before and I have more contacts from media other than Lavanya.. It was by one of the secretary of the editor in cheif Smitha. She is my very close friend from school. She had seen you there many times and had got the information about you buying the channel convincing the share holders. She said with a pride that she can also get his secret information.

Arnav smiled at her brilliance and pulled her into his arms closer to him. He saw Khushi not reciprocating his hug. Not able to find the precise reaction he had to give her, he pulled her from the embrace and looked into her eyes.

Arnav : Jalebi.. I love you.. I love you so much. I realised the feeling I had in me for you but were so late to put in words. Whatever bad I did has no meaning, whatver bad I said has no meaning the only one meaning I see in my life is I just love you love you and love you forever. He stated with finalty as if his old ASR was back in form. His words had so much determination which could strongly anchor her deep into him.

Khushi delighted in his arms while her tears increased its momentum of flow with enthusiasm. An enthusiasm of getting back her love. She hadnt heard him endeared his feeling as love. Now that wish has also been fulfilled.

Khushi : I cant ditch my love ASR. Even if you had presumed that I would end up in marrying somone of my parents choice just remember something.. I love you too Arnav. It was the first time ever she had called him as Arnav. It had a beautiful melting tone which Arnav could easily feel. He felt like in cloud nine when he heard her part of confession though he had heard a million times before. This felt perfect. After having made their confessions they have come up to conclude that they can never ever part whatever force tries to make a rift among them.

She smiled at her own words when Arnav clutched her shoulders again. He moved his lips towards her cheeks while his breath fanned the crook of her neck making her shudder in pleasure closing her eyes tight. He pecked her cheek softly. The kiss could make out the difference in this man. Unlike his forced and harshful passion triggered kiss this was gentle as if she was a delicate flower. She imbibed this feeling to eternity. He pulled over his lips towards her eyes where the salty tears had threatened to fall down without her permission. He sucked the tears in deep emotion as if sucking and removing all those horrible memories of their relationship. He had moved in so swiftly to the other eye and did the same. The more he had sucked her tears the more threatened her to come out to surrender to her love. She couldnt resist more and turned around to hug him as tightly as she could. She felt like she would lose him anytime and this embrace would make him safe under her. He could feel the intensity in her hug.. All that happened between them just vanished within a blink of an eye. Only one truth remained.. they are in love.

Arnav hugged her back making her remain in his arms until she slept. He slowly scooped her in his arms and moved towards the bed. He made her lie on the bed and sat beside her. The small strands on her forehead trying to tickle her from her sleep wasnt even let freely by the ASR. He moved it back behind her ears and saw the peaceful sleep of his princess. He took the spectacles from her hand and admired the face without the spectacles.He reminisced about the use of lens which she had wished which he had denied. He felt a fool of himself for crushing the small wishes of this delicate flower. Time did pass on till he didnt know when he had fallen asleep.

It was early morning 2'oclock when Khushi stirred from her sleep. She was having a contentment of a very deep sleep after a long time. She saw Arnav sitting on the floor with his palms under her head and resting his head on the same arm peacefully sleeping. She pulled out herself to sit down thats when Arnav also got up from his sleep. She suddenly got reminded that she was in Lavanya's apartment and she might have come back after work. Arnav brushed his sleepy eyes and saw the confusion on her face.

Arnav : What happened Khushi ? His words slowly turned into concern..

Khushi : Lavanya.. she might have come back from work. She might have rang the bell and returned back without any response from me. She expressed her fear that her friend might have found it difficult because of her sleep.

Arnav : What do you think Khushi? This might be a plan by her to make us meet. I guess they did succeed their plan. Arnav winked at her who was already shocked to think about her stupidity.

A slow blush creeped in making her move away but Arnav was quick in catching her wrists and making her sit back. He got beside her in the cot and sat with holding her hands towards his mouth. The lips slowly grazed her knuckles letting her feel the goosebumps back.She leaned on to his chest wrapping his waist snuggling closer to him. Both felt perfect at the moment. Perfect moment of bliss. After pausing for 5 minutes Arnav started his talk.

Arnav : Khushi.. I want to discuss with you about whats next? He started with a plain suspicion of how her reaction would end. To his surprise she immediately nodded in affirmative giving him the signal to proceed.

Arnav : I think I should travel to Australia tomorrow with di and Adi..He stressed it with a sigh that made Khushi break her hug in a second looking at his eyes with a rage. He expected this reaction and he had more to convince her which he had very well thought about.

Arnav : Khushi ... I had given it a thought. It's better to have a small gap between us physically to understand each other. We both have come across such intensified phase of our life.. We need a break from those. If we just get into our life without giving much thought it might hit back our nerves again.. You cant say the devil in me is seized fully. Lets take it patiently. I do have more valuable reasons for this gap. He stated with calm face making her fall into the new avatar of her ASR. She was very attentive like a kid to her father. She raised her question before he could speak out.

Khushi : And what are those valuable reasons? Her eyes searched in for more apprpriate answers.

Arnav : Unlike the last time I want your parents to completely accept me. They have to find the best son in law in me not force myself to be the best for you. I have to prove them that I have more potential as a respectful personality who can make them happy for their daughter. Its my desire Khushi. They should not feel that they agreed just to make you happy. They should completely accept me from their heart. I truly understand the worth of parents after I got my Ma. Now I dont want to crumple the dreams and wishes of another mother for my selfishness. I promise you that I would prove them and acquire you with their pure consent. He stated with a firmness on his decision and the self confidence which he had developed in himself.

Khushi's mouth literally dropped some centimeters hearing the reason. She never had thought he would think about her parents in the midway of deciding about their realtionship.Even she hadnt thought about them for a moment. She felt envious of herself to get back her love in such a redeemed way. Arnav shook his head as he saw the amusement and naughty tinkle in her eyes asking him as if it was real or fake. He smiled when starting the next reason.

Arnav : Another being my selfish wish to create good memories of our love. Yesterday I had thought of undo button in my life to clear all my actions. Now I have got a chance. I want to alter each and every moment we spent together in a more pleasing way. I want to give you more sweetness to our relationship erasing those memories of harshness and dominance. I would like you to take up a good post in the channel and prove your talent to the whole world. I was the only one hindrance to you for your career end. Let it be another start for your career.I want to replace those old memories with fresh new ones where I can see your smile satisfied with your wishes not my wishes.You had smiled for me before but now I want to see you smile for yourself. Those cute moments which were conqurered by my anger has to be replaced by my pure love.You had missed those moments of pleasure with my loving words and endearments, surprises and everything which a normal lover would yearn for. I would make sure I make use of this opportunity to make you mine with my love and affection. He said smilingly with a blush creeping in both their faces.Khushi's face gleamed with unbound happiness it made her stumble for words.

He cupped her cheeks with his palms realising how much his words had rejoiced her. He found the happy tears hitting his fingers which he wiped off with the thumb. He tool her face closer to his lips and fixed it on her forehead. Khushi smiled at this sweet gesture.She had always seen the passion overdriven ASR. This sweet and gentle Arnav seemed to be a bit hard to digest within a day. Arnav could feel her satisfaction in his suggestion but to his satisfaction he had confirmed it from her.

Arnav : Khushi .. Are you ok with this decision? You have the ultimate right to decide what is good for us.You dont have to feel pressurized. Think and decide. He asked her with a hope of getting a good suggestion in counter to his decision.

Khushi : I agree to what you said. I would like to utilise this time to find how sweet is my laddoo.Let me enjoy being the ASR for a while.. Khushi laughed at the quizzing expression of Arnav. He finally nodded with a laugh thinking about the lady ASR.

Arnav took the liberty of conquering her lap by snuggling near and resting his head. She slowly brushed her hair which comforted him to the core.

Arnav : Khushi.. shall I ask you something? He questioned her while she stopped her fingers playing with his hair thinking about the gravity of what he would ask about. She thought about the possible questions like how she had loved him inspite of his presure dominance, how she accepted him after such a cruelty and many other questions hovered around her thoughts.

Arnav : Khushi.. are you hungry? I am terribly hungry. I didnt have anything after lunch yesterday.. He pouted as he looked into her eyes which really widened as if he had done a sin.

Khushi : What the? How can you remain quiet like this? Cant you tell me this before? What stupidity Arnav ? She retorted to his irresponsibility of not taking care of his health.

Arnav had purposely changed his question as those questions regarding, why and how about their past would lead to more dwelling into their past. He had been groaning in hunger which he utilised to put forth to her making a total diversion from those thoughts.He had judged her perfectly. The reaction was as expected as soon as he saw her move his head from his lap and rushing into the kitchen .

Morning

Aman : Do you think we should knock the door La? What if umm..ermm..? Aman beat around the bush while Lavanya glared at him for such cheap thoughts.

Lavanya : Shut up Aman. I am worried about what would have happened to them? ASR hasnt reached home, Khushi hasnt left from here that means both of them are inside. She said with biting nails while sitting on his car.

Aman : Thats what I meant.. that could mean only one thing. They would have compromised and would have done what we were doing last night baby.. Aman said seductively as he pulled Lavanya to his chest making her shudder in shock.

Lavanya : Leave me.. Get down first. Lets go and check ourselves. Lavanya ordered him in fake anger hiding the blush on her cheeks.

The calling bell had woken up Khushi who was sleeping with her head resting on Arnav's chest while Arnav had leaned on to the couch with his arms wrapped around her posessively. She smiled at their good moments they spent after having the early morning late dinner that she had made for him after a long time. They had forgotten how they dozed off on the couch after talking about several things right from Payal's engagement to their past on how they had reminiscnced about their cute little fights and lovely moments.

The second bell had made her repulsive to come out of his embrace making him wake up from the hold. He rubbed his eyes to look at the watch and got shocked that it was 8 in the morning. He stood abruptly with Khushi getting up together as they had forgotten about Lavanya. Khushi cleared her dress and moved towards the door to open for Aman and Lavanya while Arnav took all the utensils inside.

Lavanya and Aman shone with a huge grin on their face when Khushi opened the door. She was a bit skeptical about Aman's visit but she understood it must be to check on Arnav what he was doing. Aman craned his neck inside to see if his boss could be spotted inside the hall when Khushi snapped her fingers to come out of the reverie.

Lavanya moved inside walking past Khushi and searched for Arnav.

Lavanya : Aman... See I was right.. He has left. I knew this.. She complained to Aman as a small child lost in bet. Khushi came in followed by Aman who tried to convince Lavanya when he heard another voice coming from inside the kitchen.

Arnav: Who left Lavanya? Arnav entered the hall with two coffee cups in his hands with a hot brewing coffee.

Lavanya and Aman was shocked to find Arnav with a smile sipping a coffee in his hand and giving the other cup to Aman.

Arnav: Sorry girls. I know you both hate coffee so I made it for me and my friend..Lavanya.. you are a bad guest.. You called me for a dinner and you vanished without notice? He smiled as the others smiled along him but the shock still not overcome.

Arnav sat down the couch with Khushi sitting beside him taking her proper position. Aman settled with Lavanya who was already dumb in expression. He shook her out of the trance and she sat straight with a jerk.

Lavanya : ASR so you guys didnt break up ?Lavanya rolled her eyes as she saw Khushi smiling to what Arnav was joking. Aman sipped out the coffee he was drinking and took out his hands to pinch Lavanya's arms for such a stupid question.

Arnav: oh.. so you are the one who wants us to break up? See Khushi.. Look at your friend. He mocked Lavanya as he pulled Khushi to his side wrapping his arms around her shoulders which made Aman jump in joy.

Aman : So let me call the travel agency to cancel the tickets.. Aman said as he took out the mobile with a huge grin on his face.

Arnav: Wait.. who told you to cancel the ticket Aman ? I am travelling today with Di and Adi.. Arnav said with a raised eyebrow confusing Aman and Lavanya more. Looking at the I - have-gone -mad expression Arnav and Khushi chuckled.

Arnav : You both are match made for each other Aman.. How do you sychronise your expressions so much? He mocked as a diversion of their talk.

Aman : please we cant bear more twists.. now tell me whats the plan.. Another couple is waiting with bated breath to hear from us. Aman said with a small irritation cropping in him.

Khushi: Oh so those two culprits are also involved? hmm... Aman we have decided to extend our courtship period for some more time. Let me enjoy a mushy and love sick puppy ASR for sometime.. She giggled as she replied shocking the couple infront of her. They couldnt believe Khushi getting so casual back to her normalcy.

Aman and Lavanya expressed their happiness with a hug. Arnav took leave from both of them asking Khushi to reach his home for his see off at the airport.

*****

Arnav explained everyone about their decision which enthralled the spirits of each member of the family. Avinash was amazed at the maturity he had portrayed. Anjum hugged her son in satisfaction of his attempt to set everything right in his life. He is taking a big chance in his life giving an opportunity to posess a family by his love.

Anjum : I am very happy chote..She cried her heart out while Anjali and Arnav consoled her to control the emotions.

Avinash : Anjum. This is the time to smile not to shed tears. Avinash shook his wife to smile while she nodded with a smile through her tears.

Khushi was welcomed heartily by all the members of Raizada family. Anjali hugged her in happiness and noticed that Khushi had been searching for Arnav as she entered the house.

Anjali : Are you searching for chotte? He is there packing his stuff. See because of you my brother doesnt know to pack and now finds it difficult in packing. He is doing a summersault with his suitcase from the morning. My son is there to help him I mean trouble him. Anjali giggled as she whispered into Khushi's ears.

Later when Khushi got fed up of Arnav's delay in coming down she went on to check for herself what his situation was. As she opened his room door she felt a sort of tug in her heart remembering those bitter moments. She gulped down her fears that would arise up when looking at ASR in the same room would create. She had to confront this one day as she is going to be his wife one day or other and have to live in the same room. She brushed away her thoughts and got inside to locate Arnav and Adi..

She was dumbfounded when she saw the mess that had been created in the room .. Suitcases, dresses all scattered around the room in a mess. In between the great ASR's fighting or rather wrestling on the bed. She let out a gasp as she saw both of them.

Arnav and Adi turned to the source of the voice they had heard. Adi was delighted to see his happy back in their house before he left India. He ran towards her hugging her tight.

Adi : I missed you Happy.. Where were you? I thought ASR had hidden you from me thats why we are fighting.

Arnav : haan. Now you got your Happy.. just let me do my packing. He said with a sigh. .

Khushi : Jr. ASR .. I missed you too. Khushi said as she kissed his cheeks in happiness. She asked him to get downstairs as Anjali was waiting for him. Adi ran down leaving both of them alone in the room.

Arnav smiled at her but he spotted a nervous expression on her face when she scanned the room. He could decipher the reason behind her nervousness. The bitter moments of their past which this room had witnessed. She was feeling a bit awkward. Arnav rushed near her taking her hands in his and guiding her to his cot. He kneeled down infront of her holding her hands in way of apologizing.

Arnav : I am sorry Khushi. This room must have invoked some bad memories. I understand.. Arnav said throatily as he had experienced the same before.

Khushi placed her index finger on his lips nodding to stop his words. She smiled at him understanding his each word of remorse that is coming up again beteween them.

Khushi : Let me pack your bags.. You might have forgotten about that since I have been doing it for the past six years! She exclaimed in awe of their calculation and moved near his wardrobe to select his dresses. He helped her in packing his stuff and clearing the room.

After about packing the bags Arnav was a little depressed which he didnt show to her since he met her. Though he could control his mind he was very much sad about the thought of getting seperated with Khushi even though its for some months. He convinced himself with the thought that had he not seen Khushi the last night he would have surely parted with her even without seeing her. This was a bit more complex feeling he thought.

Khushi was sitting on the recliner on the poolside thinking of the moments they had spent there in silence. She felt his hands touching her shoulders as he sat beside her with a smile. Arnav had dressed up to leave for the airport.

Arnav : I would miss you.. He said with a pout not releasing the sadness which he was beholding with him.

Khushi : I would miss you too. She said as she leaned in hugging him by his side resting her head under the crook of his neck.

Arnav : I am planning for 3 - 6 months in Australia as I have to help Shyam jijaji for some new venture.I would make sure to visit you in between. I have given Sheetal bhabhi and Aman the responsibility for the office here. You are there to take care of the channel and I have appointed all experienced editors and chiefs who would look after the channel. But ultimately you are the boss though not in action as you would be the one working for your own channel with dedication. Is that ok for you? I hope I am not imposing any decisions again. He asked her with a question.

Khushi : I am perfectly fine with this.. I am really looking forward for the new job. A job with no one to control me something catering to my creative needs. Thank you Ladoo. But I am gonna miss you terribly. Wont you call me everyday? She said as she snuggled more into him which made him smile.

Arnav: What a question? Do you doubt my romantic skills? He chuckled and earned a slight hit on his chest.

Khushi : umm. Lets see how you win me with your romantic skills. She challenged back at him.

Arnav: Khushi : Sashi uncle and aunty? How can I meet them? I have to come down at least once to meet them and convince them. He said with a worry creasing his forehead.

Khushi : I already informed them about you. Though not entirely satisfied they were a bit ok with the decision. As you said they remain silent for my wishes now but I am sure you can make them fall for you soon.

Arnav :Yes.. I do hope so.. I spoke to that idiot Ashok. He was angry at me for not staying back for the marriage. PJ too felt bad.. I cant help Khushi.. I hope they forgive me one day.

Khushi : Dont worrry we can compensate for their worry on our marriage.. what say? Khushi blushed as soon as she realised what she had uttered. She moved away her face in shyness and Arnav could catch that instant blush.

Arnav: hmmm.. ok.. I agree. I will make it up then. You enjoy their marriage for me too.

Khushi moved in near him without breaking the eye lock which had convulsed many thoughts and questions. All she could feel was his desire invoking in him but he was suppressing for no reason. She knew the ultimate expression of his passion but he was thinking about her reaction before he could proceed. She didnt give him a chance to think twice before she slammed her lips with his grabbing the passion of love that had started as a common factor in between them right from the day they bumped on to each other in Anjali's marriage till the present where they had reached at a point to part themselves to reunite again. Arnav felt happier and reciprocated his feeling with the same passion yet controlling himself as to not hurt her even for a hairline pain. Both of them dwelled into the ocean of their passion redeeming themselves in the same room which had changed their fate erasing all those bitter images of their past in agreement.

The End..
