#2 SS: Arnav, I am Pregnant Season 2 *Thread Two* - Page 19

Chapter Eight

Addicted To You!

Sasi nervously stepped out his car and asked the guard to park the same while he strolled towards the entrance of the huge mall, his eyes scanning through the crowd for a glimpse of that bright minx. He always been taken off guard by her vibrant sense of color. She had the worst sense of fashion he had ever encountered in a woman. And who wears pink sunglasses for a night party?

It was at a party he had seen and met Manorama for the first time in his life. Khushi was being unreasonably generous to introduce them to each other. Manorama seemed quite shy at first and after Khushi had started a liking towards her they met every weekend at one of their houses at Khushi's insistence.

But now, as Khushi got him in this weirdest of situations he recalled all those occasions when Khushi had almost pushed him towards Manorama to make a next move. It was all planned, trust Bhagwan ji for giving him such an intelligent child. But he had never ever thought in his wildest of dreams that it would backfire on him like this.

Garima, how cute! He remembered those perfect eyes of his late wife. Who was everything he had ever wanted. The perfect woman, and the perfect partner a man could ever have. But, fate played its cruel game with them, she left him forever after fighting with a brain cancer. Her days were counted and she made him promise to bring another woman in his life for their daughter Khushi. who was been at Delhi to complete her schooling.

Sasi had promised his wife that he would marry someone for the sake of their daughter. But, still, after all these years he could not find anyone whom can replace her lest have one quality like her.

After Khushi was back, completing her graduation from Delhi University.. Sasi let out that news in front of her, in a drunken state on the occasion of their 20^th wedding anniversary. Khushi did not reply nor agree to that matter. She was abnormally silent after that incident, little did Sasi knew that it was the calm before the cyclone? He was stunned to hear her thoughts about the same after 1 whole month of silent treatment from her side. She had decided, and he was no one to not let that happen.

Manorama Singh!

That was her selection and Sasi often wondered how his daughter can do such horrible selection, after knowing his would be better.

"Honey bunny..."

Manorama exclaimed giving him a quick hug and breaking his train of thoughts at once. He smiled sheepishly looking at her bright attire. She was wearing a yellow Anarkali and her hair was left open.

"How do I look? Is not this dress perfect for our movie date?"

He nodded his head not really getting the idea of a movie date, when all he wanted to do was go home and have some hot tea to soothe his aching throat. Woman!

He muttered under his breath as she dragged him inside an accessory shop and made him sit on the huge stools. He looked around and his eyes widened instantly as the shop keeper placed a huge box filled with different kinds of platinum rings in it. Sasi frowned and looked at Manorama who was staring at those rings with a dreamy look in her eyes.

Unbelievable!

He muttered looking upwards and Bhagwan ji added salt and pepper to his lettuce salad. He was going healthy these days, while Devi Maiyya had a blasted week with all those heavily fried dishes at her devotees houses.

After all its Navratri damn it!!

"Add some red chillies too..."

Sasi said and looked at Manorama who was trying every other design from last 15minutes.

"Kahaan phasa diya Bhagwan ji aapne...? [Where did you got me stuck, my lord?]

"Enjoy your evening..."

Bhagwan ji blessed him leaving his diwan cot for a while. he needed peace and he was definitely not interested in their vintage one sided romance. Period!!

___________

Khushi frowned looking at her phone screen. 55 missed calls? She could not believe this Raizada and his nerves. He was been calling her from last night and she was hell bend on ignoring him. well, what was she supposed to do now, when her work was done well almost. Now she wanted solid proofs against him, to hit him with the best shot.

Meanwhile, Arnav had taken an off and was sitting at his poolside, enjoying the evening sun. he sipped his lemonade leisurely as he listened to the soft music flowing from his room.

"I see trees of green, red roses too,

I see them bloom, for me and for you..

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.."

He smiled leaving the lounger and walked towards his darling plants and shrubs. Which he loved tending just like he loved his profession. Was not this his dream to be a police officer, when he was just a kid? His di always mocked him whenever he dressed like a police officer for the fancy dress competition every year.

The judges too were bored by him, but to his amusement he always got one prize or the another every year.

"I see skies of blue, clouds of white,,

Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights

And I think to myself what a wonderful world.."

He smiled looking at the auto redial number and the image which was been attached to the same. Khushi! !The little minx had the audacity of messing with him. messing with Arnav Singh Raizada. Well he cant fully blame her, it was his profession and the way his work was been done from past few years, that made her trust the impossible things about him.

Well, he never cared when people mocked him on his behind calling him names, such as "Mr.Corrupt Singh Raizada" "Badass cop" and the list goes on. People will talk, if you do good things, they will talk about the same for few days and forget it. And if you do wrong things, they will keep talking about the same till eternity. That was the truth of the society.

"The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands, say how do you do?

They really saying I love you.."

But, in all between this, he enjoyed his work immensely, may be because it was his dream job/career whatever it is. he find solace in it. And its all that matters, nothing else.

"What the hell?"

Arnav almost shook his phone and looked at the screen a wicked grin forming on his almost red face. So, the minx finally showing some response..not bad! He thought out loudly and pressed the phone to his ears.

"Hey sweetheart..."

Arnav's sugar coated voice send a tingle down her spine and she closed her eyes quickly looking around her house. She knew that she was alone, but she was nervous like hell, after hearing his husky voice through the phone. It felt like as if he was standing right behind her and whispering into her ears, she almost felt his breath fanning on her earlobes and turned to look at him.

He was not there and she did not know as why she felt disappointed at the realization.

"Tum theekh ho?"

"Haan hum theekh hai.."

"Mujhe laga kal raat ke baad...wo.."

"Arnav, lets make this straight. Why did you call me? Out with it and keep the phone, I am in a hurry..."

Khushi exclaimed distastefully and he knew his guess was right. After all he was Arnav Singh Raizada and to hell with him if he did not get to caught this minx and recognize her real motives behind her every act till date since they had met.

Quite a player she is... but Arnav Singh Raizada was not a bad player either. Moreover, he was been well endowed in that section. Especially the one where involved a female!

Haaye.. he looks so hot when he says that.

Devi Maiyya sighed cupping her face and Bhagwan ji rolled his eyes. he had enough torture at some social networking sites last night. He was just surfing through few pages, all he can read was Arnav's name and how hot, and cute he was. Dang!

"I was just wondering if we could meet today... It's a beautiful evening Khushi, and don't you think it will become more beautiful if we spent the same with a special person beside you.."

He said hoarsely and the butterflies were back to her tummy. They should really make the same as their habitat. Well this travelling business had really tired the hell out of them. Its not everyday you get to live inside someone's tummy, right?

Khushi sighed heavily playing with those loose tendrils of her hair while she walked across the front lawn lost in thoughts. She was a bit sore at some place but was not that worth the pain? A grin formed on her face and she playfully slapped her head at the direction of her inner thoughts.

"Khushi, lets have dinner together..."

Arnav's voice snapped her out of her trance and she almost choked at his words. A dinner? With Arnav? With the most sexiest man on earth? How come? She cant meet him just like that. She needed permission from Payal, and she knew Payal wont deny this time as she wanted more details about some certain news they were been working on from past 2years.

"Can I call you back after few minutes..? actually I had made a plan with Jp, I'll just ask her if she could cancel the same?"

Khushi said chewing onto her bottom lip and heard him sigh from the other end. Well, well, well..is not this going the same direction his thoughts were? Game on!!

He thought inwardly before saying a quick okay to Khushi.

"I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,

They'll learn much more, than I never know

And I think to myself what a wonderful world.."

_____________

Khushi dialed Payal's number without any delay. Her heart was in her throat as she thought about spending some time with Arnav. A blush crept up her neck spreading across her cheeks. She did not know as why she was having such wayward thoughts about him, when she was supposed to hate him with her all might.

This attraction was beyond her knowledge and the worst part was she was falling more and deeper into that pit. If only, he was a good human being. She felt like an animal for having such lusty feelings for him. no wonder about the amount of girls he has been acquainted with since Khushi had started her investigation about him. they were all smitten by his manly charms and Khushi Gupta too just got added into that list.

"Hey you have reached Pay, please leave a message.."

Khushi frowned and waited for the beep to record her message.

"Hey, Arnav just called me and he is insisting that I should join him for dinner tonight... should I? or should not I?"

Before Khushi could complete her recording Payal picked up the call without any ado.

"You should..you must.. so that you can keep an eye on him.. this is going great Khushi, I can clearly see the future now.. we are going to have him behind the bars for every other sin he has performed in his entire life.. you are going to rock girl.. good luck.."

Payal said and hung up the phone a wicked grin plastered onto her face. Khushi did not know whether to be happy that she was going out with him, or sad for spying and lying to him when her treacherous heart was behaving weird after last night.

Devi Maiyya, what have you got me into? She sighed looking upwards.

Do not blame me for god's sake. I meant BJ's sake. This is all well planned and girl you have to get pregnant, that's this story is all about, right?

Khushi did not understand a word Devi Maiyya was blabbing on and soon she left for the washroom to get freshen up for her first date. She had messaged him that she would love to join him for the dinner and had an instant reply from him, saying that he will pick her up at 7pm sharp.

_____________

Khushi looked at his face dreamily as the flickering lights of the dance floor made patterns on his aristocratic features. She felt herself drawing towards him like a moth to a flame. It was dangerous, the feelings she was having for him, but there was no going back now. Her heart screamed at her.

His possessive hands came resting on her bare waist as if it's the most natural thing to do. He was very comfortable with her so was she. People had already mistook them as a married couple while they were having dinner.

Arnav did not mind to correct the waiter whom addressed Khushi as Mrs. Raizada while taking her orders. It really got Khushi think hard for sometimes, but hey how was she suppose to concentrate on one thing when she had a full plate of Raizada kept in front of her. she got distracted easily whenever he was with her.

Damn his eyes!

Khushi groaned inwardly and placed her both hands onto his shoulders. She felt his hot breaths mingling with his as his forehead touched hers in a dreamy way.

"I love your eyes, and your lips and..."

Khushi placed her index finger onto his sinful lips and nodded her head to stop him. She felt him placing an open-mouthed kiss onto the tip of her finger, his eyes boring into hers. This was seriously not going in her way, and she was getting lost in his eyes.

"I don't know just how it happened,
I let down my guard...
Swore I'd never fall in love again but I fell hard.
Guess I should have seen it coming,
caught me by surprise...
I wasn't looking where i was going,
I fell into your eyes.

They swayed together their actions sensuous their heartbeats erratic and the dim light sinuously appropriate for the situation. arnav's hands caressed her bare waist, making patterns on the same while Khushi bunched his shirt in her hands, her head resting onto his chest. Her ear was pressed against his chest, right above his heart. She could clearly sense its wild rhythm and the way it felt against her ears.

"You came into my crazy world like a cool and cleansing grace.
Before I knew what hit me baby you were flowing though my vains..."

She inhaled sharply as his fingers moved upwards, reaching the hem of her flimsy blouse. She clutched onto his forearms for support as her knees gave away at his ministrations.

"Arnavv.."

She moaned breathing heavily and Arnav was been restraining himself from the time he had picked her from her home for this dinner date. He had thought of having some fun with her, while it turned out to be one sensuous one as the time passed. What is with this minx and his uncontrollable attraction towards her?

"Take me home..."

She said nibbling onto his earlobe and he lost himself fully at her desire filled voice, shooting tingles down his spine. He, without any word pushed her to a dark corner of the dance floor and pinned her onto the wall.

She heaved unsteadily and his hands immediately touched her rounds, as if he was dying to do that, god only knows from when?

"Why it feel so perfect, when I touch you like this? Its like you are made for me, only me.."

He whispered into her ear and caught her delicate earlobe in between his full lips.

"When night blows in through the window,
Dances round the room...
Got me hypnotized,
I'm getting high on the perfume.
I couldn't live without you now,
Oh, I know I'd go insane,
I wouldn't last one night alone baby,
I couldn't stand the pain!

___________

Khushi looked at her reflection in the mirror and touched her overly swollen lips. The man seriously know how to kiss the crap out of her. she thought looking at him through the mirror. She was at her home and they made love for the second time. She could not just believe herself as she let it happen once again. first time, it was curiosity and an uncontrollable attraction she felt for him. Second time it was desire and longings she felt for him after their first time.

Is she falling in love?

She asked to herself and then her eyes popped out on its own accord.

Damn, I am in love.

__________

Arnav briefed Aman with every details and then tapped his fingers on the table waiting for his reply. He was silent and somewhat lost somewhere else. Don't tell me it's a girl. Arnav thought inwardly while Aman opened his mouth dramatically to explain something to him.

"A blue rose...that would be perfect.."

Aman said shutting off his laptop.

"A blue rose? What you mean sir?"

Arnav asked confused at his words. Here he was talking about Khushi and Payal's master plan and his senior officer was blabbing about some blue rose. Definitely a girl. No doubts at all. Arnav thought shaking his head while Bhagwan ji let out an irritated sigh.

"What do you thought, that its only you, who gets into this "Girls" business?"

"I am busy.."

Arnav ignored Bhagwan ji's taunting questions and concentrated on his superior officer who seemed to have a great knowledge about flowers these days. is not red rose Khushi's favorite? He smiled remembering their passionate encounter last night and the aftermaths.

Damn this girl. She is going to be the death of me.

"So, you are 100% sure about this matter?"

"I knew it already, that she is spying on me..."

"Why did you let her inside your study then?"

"I just wanted to know that how far she could go with this? And guess I got my answer. She loves me, leaving the professional aspects aside; I had already fallen in love with her..from the first meet..."

"Yeah, I got to know that from her best friend...well, what is your plan, then?"

"Just wait and watch.. trust me it wont be boring.."

Arnav winked at Aman and left from the cabin, dialing Khushi's number.

__________

Its been almost a week and there were no suspicious calls nor any solid evidences that Khushi could have possibly gathered from Arnav's. the job was getting complicated, while her personal life was blooming with love and passion. She had never thought that she would ever fall in love with someone and that too with the man whom she hated for some solid reasons.

Jp munched onto her potato chips as she watched a horror movie on her laptop. The chainsaw massacre, where the man murdered people with a chainsaw. Khushi was however not looking at the same as she absent-mindedly made patterns on her notepad.

She was suppose to make some report about female trafficking and here she was lost in her own thoughts about her sexay Raizada. Ooh! She almost dropped the pen from her hands and stood up instantly as she found Aman standing at the door, in casuals. He cleared his throat and waited for his Jyothi's response.

"Damn, this man.. I am done with this movie.."

She said shutting off the laptop and her eyes widened instantly and the packet of chips fell from her hands and kissed the ground.

"Shall we leave, already?"

He asked cocking his eyebrows at her and she almost ran towards him, taking her bag and other things stuffing inside the same hurriedly.

"And Khushi, Arnav is waiting for you at the parking lot next to the elevator.."

He winked and left from there, leaving a flabbergasted Khushi. she have not had met him in few days and tried to ignore her hearts pleas. She was dying to see him and now that he was right there, how was she suppose to control her hormones.

"I am coming, baby.."
