Okay guys, my first ever post results in an OS. 😆
Hope you enjoy my effort - please remember that it is my first ever OS and I did rush it a bit as I wanted to get it finished for this weekend, whilst we are all suffering from IPKKND withdrawal symptoms! 🤣 🤣
Anyway, not too many brickbats and tomatoes please - if you don't like it, please let me know (constructive criticism always welcomed) but if, by a miracle, you DO like it, please press the 'LIKE' button, tell your friends and do please leave me some comments either way! 😆
Thanks!! 😉
Khushi ki...khushi:
Arnav Singh Raizada stirred in his sleep. He had been feeling restless all evening, ever since Khushi had, almost instantly, gone home after meeting his brother-in-law, Shyam, earlier. Arnav had been watching Khushi closely and he was certain that he had seen tears in her eyes as she left so hurriedly. He knew that something was troubling her and he was pretty damn certain that her fiance had something to do with it! He had noted the reaction from her when he had quizzed her by the poolside.
Once again, he began to drift off into sleep as the night closed around him...a tortured sleep which was racked with dreams, nightmares, questions, confusions.
He awoke with even more unanswered questions milling through his brain and realised that he simply HAD to meet Khushi and try to find out exactly what was going on? He quickly showered, dressed quickly and made his way downstairs, with his car keys in one hand.
''Chote ! Kahaa jaa rahe ho?...naasta to karke jaao? Yeh bhi aaj naasta keeye beghair hi chale gaye! Aap dono bhi na!''
''No time, Di! Main kucch baad mei ley loonga'' replied Arnav and hurriedly made his way out of the door.
Daylight was beginning to peep out from behind the shadows as Arnav pulled his SUV into the pathway a few yards away from the Guptas' house. The road was deserted apart from a couple of lights flickering in the distance and the Gupta house was still shrouded in darkness as Arnav took out his mobile and dialled Khushi's number.
''Elo...Arnav Ji?...Iss waqt?''
Khushi's voice sounded tired and drowsy but surprised.
''Khushi? Main baahar hoo...Please...baahar aao.''
''Kyaaa?! Aap baahar hain?!!!...Kyon?''
''What the...Khushi...bas tum bahar aao, please!''
''Tikh hai, aap wait karey, main brush karke aati hoo'.''
Arnav half smiled to himself.
''Unbelievable! Yeh ladki bhi na! Why does she think to brush her teeth first before coming out when it is obvious that I am calling her here urgently? Anyone would think she was going to kiss me! Hmmm'''
He let the delicious thought linger for a second; then rebuked himself.
''What the...Arnav Singh Raizada, pull yourself together, man! You're here to find out what is upsetting Khushi, NOT to fulfill your fantasies!'' he muttered to himself. ''Nice fantasy though''' he allowed himself to add, with a slight smirk.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the passenger door of his vehicle and Khushi's delectable face appeared at the window...he opened the door and she climbed in surreptitiously, glancing sideways as she did.
''Please drive off, Arnav Ji...no-one knows you are here and we can talk about why you have decided to wake me up so early and what it is that's troubling Mr. Raizada'''
''What's troubling ME ??!!'' Arnav muttered through clenched teeth...and drove away from the house. He sped down a few streets and onto a main road where one or two street vendors were beginning to set up their stalls.
''Tikh hai, ab boliyey, Mr. Raizada...mai aap ki kya khidmat kar sakti hoo? Kyon mujhe subhaa aese yaad kiya aap ne?''
''Maine abhi tak chai nahi pee hai...shall we grab some breakfast?'' asked Arnav.
''Okay...rather that...than you 'grabbing' me''' whispered Khushi.
''WHAT ??!!''
''Kuchh nahi...there's a small stall just down this road, which sells nice Parathey and ready made Tea...you know...they make it for you, rather than you have to add the Sugar and Milk yourself'.not that you have sugar, of course''
''This isn't going to be easy''' thought Arnav, ''but what the...let's do this!!''
''COME ON THEN !!'' he said, looking at Khushi, as he parked the SUV outside the smallest tea stall he could ever have imagined...
''THEN you can answer my questions, Khushi Kumari Gupta!!!!''
Okay, that's it. I've kept it short and sweet for now, folks. Didn't want to bore you too much! 😆 Please do comment. 😊
