Chapter-29:

One thing Khushi Kumari Gupta wanted before she could join Arnav at work was to visit the famous Tower Bridge of London. He didn't have time, yes, maybe not even to relax an evening let alone take a day off, but when Khushi could get persistent, she very well means what she says. It was like all his balls were in her court, because the main reason for him to offer her the job proposal was the fact that he could have her with him all day whilst he could use the same time to complete the bloody deal that has been literally eating him up. The very realization that she could do something or anything for that matter at his work place, got him all started and well if it means wasting an afternoon relaxing the stressed mind' as she had termed it, then what else the bored Arnav Singh Raizada could do?

And so, he was here, staring out at the familiar surroundings, his mind lost distantly elsewhere, whilst his glance took turns from observing her intently and communicating virtual orders to the two men closely following them in the boat behind them, dressed in their civil outfits, well armed even, as they seemed completely indulged in observing everything suspicious in the vicinity, all with Arnav's instructions and everything completely oblivious to Khushi.

He had to rely on this secret security, for now; at least until Shyam comes up with police help. He didn't really know for sure if anything or anyone was behind her, but he couldn't take anything easy. It seemed like they had some information but everything seemed so vague. The implications from it all always had lead his mind to things which he didn't even want to think for her, but then it was all past, and the fact that he couldn't do anything to change whatever it was, dint really go well with him. He even didn't want to go behind her back to figure it all out, but then it was like she didn't leave him any other choice.

The girl she had eventually turned into made him both happy and scared all at the same time. She was truly living the day as it comes, and he can only be overjoyed about it. He could see the transformation in her, though eventually, she did come a long way indeed and suddenly he was scared to see the side of her that was best known to him before this. She is running away, yes, but what worried him even more is that she had been under illusion that her running away is unknown to the world.

"She apparently asked the hospital receptionist she had been in, to destroy the details of her recovery..."

"... and how do you know this?"

"The poor Nave Khushi Kumari Gupta had thought she could keep details away from the great Angad Khanna and that too in his very own hospital..."

"---shit and that asshole kept the information from us all these days?"

"Stop acting dramatic Arnav, he didn't look for any such information in the first place, now that I had approached him, we just went through the records---------"

"Alright, alright, jiju, call me as soon as you complete your meeting with Mr.Rathod, I'll be waiting..."

"You've got it!"

**

Arnav glanced the exchange of messages from earlier in the morning stored in his inbox yet again, his thumb efficiently scrolling the long touch screen, as his eyes attuned to the piece of information thoughtfully, his one leg was lifted and rested on one of the rods of the boat railing, while the other supporting it on the ground, his elbows rested on the railing, as his face stood out above the water beneath the sailing boat.

He felt her eyes on him and he shifted his gaze in a swift moment to find her looking right back at him standing a few feet away from him almost mirroring his stance, her hair falling on the side of her face, as she completely turned her head to lock her eyes with him.

"You've been silent..." he commented meeting her hazels.

"I was just waiting for you to break the silence you see, but if this is some kind of challenge or something, let me tell you something, I can be real dead silent for hours together if I want to------"

He smiled at that with an awkward shrug. "No I mean it, I mean I'm quite used to-----"

"Okay, stop right there, blackmailing doesn't work with me" He cut her off just when a stream of heavy wind greeted them causing him to lift his hair off his forehead and her to tug her hair strands behind her ear, simultaneously and even as they noticed the little moment themselves, they broke into a small amused chuckle.

"Are you always this lost when forced out of work?" He just shrugged tugging the flat of his one hand into the front of his jeans. "It's like your work is your first love!" she added.

"Love... Hmm" he sighed and looked away, trying to observe the passing by buildings on the river-bank and looking out at the tower bridge that was in their view ahead.

"Are you trying to figure the four letter word Arnav?"

"Huh, what?" he snapped back to meet her eyes again.

"Love, are you by any chance deep diving into the meanings and purpose of this word?"

"Are you going to explain and help me if I was?"

"With my philosophies you mean?"

"Hmm..hmmm"

"Well, for a change I don't have one"

"No?" he turned to his side completely, the side of his body now leaning onto the railing, continuing to observe her, while all she did was look ahead of him to the slowly moving objects at the bank of the river.

"It must be such an ego boost to you right? That I speak all the love-stuff and you get to listen to all of it?"

"I thought there was a No Expectations, No Regrets offer, something like that..."

"Smart! But really, I don't have one, not for you at least--------"

"You might be having something for yourself at least..."

"Which you will not be aware of, Arnav, you have to make your own love philosophies if you want to get there you know?" she spoke walking towards him, her eyes completely attuned to his molten orbs. "You have to discover your own moment of love, you have to make your own path and reach where you want to..." she stopped just a step away from him and tenderly placed the flat of her palm on the place of his heart. "For, it should only start from here, impulsively" she then lifted the index finger of her same hand and knocked lightly at the side of his forehead-------- "Not planned from here" She completed, keeping her eyes fixed on that of his.

"Do you think there can be anything at all, in here?" he said lightly thumping his chest with his fist.

"Like I said, it's for you to figure it our yourself"

"-------but whats your take on it?" You do have a take on everything, don't you?"

"Well, I think, whatever it is, in there, if it was capable of changing your decision to turn around and look back for once, then it wouldn't be long until you figure it all out"

He looked at her with his narrowed, unsure gaze, before twisting his orbs thoughtfully along with his arched eye-brows that were teamed with his little twisting mouth, the mere expression causing her to let out that amused chuckle and he looked back, still unsurely. "Oh...okaaay, isn't it silly? You and I are speaking of me as a third person?"

He commented and she continued t chuckle whilst nodding her head dismissively, before shifting her eyes back to that of his, only to find her own little laughter dying off instantly, catching his sudden ignited gaze.

He looked into her hazels that shimmered up at him with the same unknown emotion he had seen before which distantly seemed like the word she had been referring to, and even as he met her eyes, his one hand on its own accord reached the side of her face, his thumb caressing the side of her cheek and he somehow had this feeling, that maybe it's the same emotion that is right now reflecting in his eyes as well... Love

He sighed, gently arched her face up, meeting the level of his chin, just as the bright afternoon sunrays peeped in-between their faces making it difficult for her to look right up into his eyes. He sighed again, processing the tightening behind the place of his chest before meeting her lips tenderly sucking at them, bringing the shadow of his face over hers causing her to sigh too, with only mounting solitude. And the sun continued to peep between their moving faces playing with the shadow of his face over hers.

Now this had become his very own way of answering her, every time she brings the word Love, he acknowledged. & every such time, there would always be so much for him to say as well, but he had never really been good with words. Her mere mentioning of it all, filled him in with such a tangle of emotions and all he could do was, pour out all of them through his actions, he processed.

For now.

Zindagi Do Pal ki
Zindagi Do Pal ki

Intezar kab tak
Hum karenge bhala
Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge bhala
Zindagi do pal ki

"You really do talk a lot!" he said with a small hint of laugh in his voice as they pulled away when she finally opened her eyes, even as her lips curved up into that smile of adulation. Her smile just broadened at his comment and she bent her head, deep crimson jewelling her cheeks, just in time for him to drop a feathery peck on her forehead.

"Keep calm and just be here, okay?" he said walking to stand behind her slightly pinning her to the iron wall, with his both hands gripping the railing to her sides, effectively captivating her before him.

As the boat travelled across the Thames River, he rested his chin on her shoulder as they looked at the fast moving lives of the London City around them, the almost approaching tower bridge and they continued to silently witness it all with the familiar serenity filling itself around them.

Dil mein Tumhari chupa di hai mene to apni yeh jaan
Abb Tumhi Isko Sambhalo Humein Apna hosh Kahan

After a few silent moments, he started filling her with all the historic details of the place and the city which she had listened to, with even more enthusiasm.

And the lightness of the moments, their usual banter, the playfulness in her aura, the solace in the air she carried around her or rather the tranquility he seems to be finding in abundance, everything of which seemed all too normal for him so much that the mere natural occurrence of it all, felt right and felt perfect it its own way.

Bekhudi do pal ki
Zindagi do pal ki
Intezar kab tak
Hum karenge bhala
Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge bhala

And it continued to be the same as they walked the highly populated roads sipping on the famous star buck's coffee, wandering around the malls, stopping by to take quite a lot digital real pictures this time, running across the pedestrians cross-over and finally hopping back into his car heading back to his work, together.

**

There are certain things about her behavior that Arnav have completely managed to forget all these days, but he forgetting them, doesn't take anything away from her. Yes, her fears still do exist and one of her major fear had always been fear to face a large crowd, let alone a crowd with quite a lot men. And even as the little realization hit him, as he observed her sudden stilled stance in the elevator, he mentally whacked himself for putting her through this. But then it was all matter of coming to face it just once and the she will be fine, he was certain about that.

"You're freaking out!"

"Shut up!" came her curt reply robotically as she stared ahead at the elevator doors, her hands clutching the sides of her skirt, her stance straight and still and her face completely blank.

Just as the elevator doors opened to his floor, he waited until the others left and stepped ahead of her, stopping by to turn around facing her and slowly reached out to her one hand. He removed the tightly gripped cloth from her grasp easing her fingers out and entwined his own fingers in between them.

"I'm right here okay? Forget the rest of the world, just focus on me, you and just whatever you gotto speak, yeah?" he said holding her hand causing her to follow him, just as they elevator doors closed behind them and all she did was look on amused and stumped all at the same time.

Ek chota sa vaada is umar se zyada sachcha hain sanam
Har modh par saath Is liye rahete hain ab dono

And she chose to clutch his hand instead of her dress material, as they entered the large room of Ar-Advertisements, as the whole staff at once greeted him in one sudden swift moment causing her to squirm, everyone exchanging pleasantries at him whilst giving her awkward looks, as they passed the huge hall-way, climbed the little stair-case, up into his room finally releasing a sigh of relief. But the main process was ahead and it involved her to put up a presentation to his whole design team giving them ideas that they both have worked over the night before.

"Team, meet Khushi, our ad-consultant for this project and she has some innovative ideas to share with you all. Let me just mention that she is good with graphic designing part, so you guys could just use some help..." he started off and it really did seem like a true new beginning for her.

Dosti do pal ki
Zindagi do pal ki
Intezar kab tak
Hum karenge bhala
Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge bhala

Nervously though, she did cross that bridge of her fear and impressively managed to take his whole team through her refreshing ideas with him offering silent support throughout. The work resumed, one of the designs has been finalized and the following four days have not just seen his staff completely getting indulged in the new design, but also the both of them suddenly being thrown into such rush of activities so much that all they did in a day was to wake up, come to work, walk and run around managing everything, get back home sometime late and get a few hours of sleep before the same activities of the following day would resume.

**

With the final presentation of the deal a couple of days ahead, almost maximum of work in hand being completed, Arnav and Khushi traveled back home in his car, almost past midnight, sitting in the back seat together, both of them completely tired and worn out. As he looked out of the window, with his one hand resting under his chin, even as his mind tried to recall the events of the day, with his other part of mind planning events of the following day, he felt a sudden small force on his shoulder. He shifted his gaze to look down, already processing what it could be whilst his hand lifted wrapping around her shoulder, bringing her close and she snuggled at the crook of his neck, completely dozing off into a deep slumber.

He looked out of the window yet again, his hand caressing the hair away from her forehead and there he had seen it suddenly right in front of his view. Surprised and amused with it, he gently nudged her to wake up, while all she did was stir and snuggle more inside his arm.

"Khushi?"

"Arnav, please..."

"Wakey, wakey..." he nudged more and she lazily pulled away from his embrace lightly scratching her hair but before she could open her eyes completely,he closed them back with his palm covering the front of her face.

"Arnav..what?"

"Shh, John, pull over please, just right here"

And as the car came to a halt, he made her get down from the vehicle, and walked her over the road, all the while closing her eyes. Even as she stepped into the cold of the exterior, she felt a something even colder hit her with feather like touches sending shivers down through her spine and before she could process what it was he finally let her open her eyes only to be greeted by the sudden beginning of slight flakes of snowfall . Right in front of her stood the spectacular view of river, below the white transparent vision of falling dew and just as she processed it all, she remained dumb-struck and completely in awe of the view in darkness of the night.

"Oh my god Arnav!!!" she almost but screamed jumping on her foot, as she turned around swiftly just in time for him to open the umbrella that he had managed to fetch from his car, and she landed right into his arms, still jumping, tangling her hands around his neck all too tightly and all he could do was hold on to her, keeping her jumping self in place with his free hand. "This is incredible!!!"

She sighed inside his arms before turning around to take in the view again, with him standing right beside her, holding the umbrella above them in place, as they stood there for good few minutes half-hugging each other, and when she sighed again resting her tired head gently on his shoulder, still staring out at the view in front of them, holding onto him tightly-------------- Is this how life going to be?

He wondered.

Is this what coming back to home feels like?

He asked to no one but himself.

Is this why I had cancelled that flight that night and turned around only to get her along with me?

He figured it out...

Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge bhala

Zindagi Do Pal ki
Zindagi Do Pal ki

And maybe, Arnav Singh Raizada was finally in love.
