First Kiss, Under The Stars!

Khushi walks in to Payal's room and places some boxes on the bed. She is about to leave when Payal walks in. "Jiji, I have left the sarees here!" Khushi says to Payal. Payal seems worried as she holds Khushi's hands and says, "Khushi, do you know what all these boys are up to?" Khushi chirpily answers as her eyes twinkle, "Yes, bachelor party.. and in Nanhe ji's words, 'Crows' party...!" and she giggles happily. Surprised, worried, Payal asks, "You know! Then why did you not stop Arnav ji?" Innocently Khushi asks, "Why should I stop him, Jiji? What's wrong if all the boys want to get together and celebrate? We girls have so many occasions where boys are prohibited!" Payal affectionately taps Khushi on her head and says, "Khushi, you are so innocent! You really don't know anything! The bachelor party is nothing like what you think!" "I know, Jiji!" enthusiastically Khushi says, "We had so much fun the whole night in Preeto's wedding! We had Gol Guppe.. played Antakshari... The guys are going to do the same!" Payal now gets aggravated, tries to put some sense in Khushi, "Khushi, do you really think that these boys are going to play Aatakshari.. ? .. that I sang from 'g', now your turn from 'P'? No, Khushi! So far away from home.. at the Farm House... You think that there will be boys alone?" Payal affectionately touches Khushi's face. Now, Khushi gets a bit serious, tries to understand but so, innocent, still does not get it, "So What?" Payal says, "Khushi, there will be girls!.. dance... and wine too!" Khushi thinks for a moment and asks, "But, Arnav ji did not invite me! Did Jijaji invite you?" Oh, my dear, Khushi, wari wari jawa on your bholepan! Pagli kahi ki! Payal says, "Not us, Khushi! Other girls! Such girls.. who you cannot trust with these boys!" Now, Khushi's eyes show some worry, affectionately, gently, Payal touches Khushi's face again and asks, "You do understand what I am trying to say?" Khushi now gets too worried, says, "What? Is this what goes on in these parties?" Puts her hands on both her ears and exclaims, "Hey, Devi Maiyya! Jiji, look, what I have done! I agreed happily!" Khushi now, nervously rolls her hands and fingers, gets worried, says, "If this happens then I won't let Arnav ji off the hook easily!" Her eyes well up and voice gets heavy.

At the Farm house.. loud music plays in the background. Waiter picks up empty bottles of wine from the floor. Aakash and NK sit spread out on the couch... with wine glasses in their hands and still gulping it down... Completely drunk.. Aakash looks at and through the wine glass and says gaily, "NK bro, I can see without my glasses! Wow, it's amazing!" Just then opens the door and enter Payal and Khushi. As soon as they walk in, Khushi's foot hits against an empty bottle of wine. Khushi's jaw initially drops open, then she and Payal get furious. They see that NK and Aakash are drunk and leisurely spread out on their chairs.. Aakash says, "In your words, we had so much fun tonight... oooww.." his words escape him as he sees Payal through the circle that he made with his fingers! Aakash immediately jumps to his feet.. NK stands up and says in slurred words, "Arey, Khushi ji, you?" Khushi is furious, says nothing. Payal goes and switches the music player off. Gives a killer look to Aakash and marches towards him. Khushi angrily demands, "Nanhe ji, what is this?" Aakash gulps more wine down as he watches. NK says happily, "What is this? .. What..? This is nothing.. it was before.. see.. " he reaches for a bottle of wine, turns it upside down and pours out remaining amount, "Oh, sorry!" Aggravated, Payal asks, "NK ji, how can you do this? I can't even think that you could do this!" NK, so drunk, he bashfully says, "Payal Bahbhi, thank you so much! Thank you for the compliment! Yes, I organized this all!" He winks proudly. "Shhh ..." goes drunk Aakash, "They are angry!" NK gulps down his remaining wine in one sip as he realizes that Payal and Khushi are really angry, then says, "Oops!" and burps. It is hilariously cute! Every time I watch it, it brings smile to my face! Now Aakash tries to take charge, asks Payal pointing a finger at her, "By the way, what are you doing here?...You shouldn't be her! Payal!" Payal challenges him, "Ji?" Immediately Aakash gives her a sheepish smile and says, "Ji!" Now Payal charges ahead, grabs him by hand and says, "Let's go home, I will tell you!.. and your specs!" Aakash tries to protest but Payal whips him out of there with her.

NK gestures to Khushi that she should leave to, with his back towards her. That infuriates Khushi. She grabs NK by shoulder on his jacket and jerks him around to face her, "Nanhe ji! I thought that you were my well wisher.. Shubh chintak!" NK immediately goes, "Shubh.. who is that, Khushi ji?" Aggravated Khushi asks, "Did you not feel ashamed having a party like this?" NK asks matter of factly, "Why should I be ashamed, Khushi ji? You are the one who told me in the morning to have such a great party that Nannav must enjoy! See, we did it!" Khushi rushes to grab his throat, NK pulls back, brings his hands up to stop Khushi, "Relax!" All worked up Khushi says, "I will deal with you later! Where is he?" "He?.. Who?" NK asks. As Khushi gives him angry look, he says, "Must be around here somewhere!" Khushi again rushes to grab NK by this throat, he pulls back.. Khushi looks at her own hands, surprised that she did it.. NK says, "Down.. down..OK?" Khushi brings her hands down. NK points in the direction of a window and says, "There.. near the window!" As Khushi looks at the window, frowns crowd her forehead and her jaw drops open as she sees the shadow of Arnav and some other girl on the window, with Arnav's hand on her shoulder. Aggravated... furious.. Khushi rushes towards the window, NK warns her, "Khushi ji, you cannot go there! No!" Khushi again rushes to attack NK, so he gives up, "Go! You may.." Khushi rushes to find Arnav!

"Khushi, what are you doing here?" Arnav jumps out of the bed as he watches Khushi rush inside the room and go searching around the room. Dressed in his casuals, relaxed, Arnav looks at Khushi with surprise as she turns around and attacks him, "Where is she? Where is that witch?" Then without waiting for any answers starts looking under the bed and everywhere. Arnav exclaims, "Excuse me!" "Move aside!" Khushi instructs him, as she furiously continues her search. Arnav stands in the middle of the room and watches her go around the room.. asks, "Khushi, who are you looking for?" Khushi does not answer, she rushes in other direction.. Arnav grabs her arm, pulls her to a stop and asks, "Khushi, what happened?.. who are you looking for?" Khushi angrily says, "I can say this confidently that I saw a girl here!" "What? No way, Khushi!" Arnav says in a soft voice. "You just shut up!" Khushi says angrily, "Is this the way you party? Is this what you wanted to do?. Arnav ji.. how could you even think about this?" Arnav's face gets serious as Khushi talks. His penetrating gaze steadies on her face as he starts taking forward steps in his usual manner, Khushi matches his steps moving backwards, till she comes flush against the dresser. Khushi's eyes mellow down but her restless heart does not let her rest easy, she lowers her gaze and voice and asks, "Where is she?" Arnav looks at her as the muscles of his jaw firm up and few frowns crowd his forehead.. His gaze never leaves Khushi's eyes.. He looks Khushi into the eye, says nothing... then moves to get something from the corner of the room. Khushi watches him pick up something wrapped in a piece of lavender colored silk. He puts the thing on the dresser and pulls the piece of cloth covering it..

Khushi's jaw drops open with surprise as her eyes go wide.. it's a statue of a female. With a wig on. Arnav throws the piece of cloth away. Walks up to Khushi, holds her by her arm and asks in a soft voice, "Khushi, do you really think that I can do this?" Khushi's face mellows down. She says, "No'" Arnav asks her with a flicker of smile on his face, "And what if there was a real party?" Khushi asks with surprise, "What? Does that mean that there was no party? You lied to me?" Arnav says, "But, you are the one who wanted the party!" Arnav reminds her, "Didn't you say that go and enjoy?" His eyes clear.. his voice soft.. his hand still holds her by the arm. He looks at Khushi's puffed up cheeks and innocent eyes, continues, ".. if I can be Salman for you then.. " Khushi playfully hits him on the heart.. brings a sweet smile to Arnav's face and adorable gaze in his eyes, she says, "You almost killed me!" Almost apologetic, moist eyes, soft voice.. Khushi says, "I thought.." Now the flirtatious lover in Arnav wakes up, in a husky voice he says, "What about you, having soiled my bachelor party? You will be punished!" Khushi innocently looks at Arnav as he playfully brings his face closer to hers. Khushi closes her eyes as Arnav's face gets closer, but Arnav does not aim for her lips here. He slowly brings his mouth close to her ear and whispers something. Khushi's eyes open wide with shock, "No!" Khushi says as she pushes Arnav away from herself. He smiles, "Okay, relax! There is no pressure!" Khushi's innocent eyes again get lost in his mischievous gaze as he brings his mouth closer to hers again. She lowers her gaze and when he suspects it the least she smiles and pushes him fiercely away from herself and runs away. Arnav falls down on the bed on his back, his eyes chase Khushi out of the room.

Arnav lays in the bed, his hand tucked under his head. The silk of the bed linen shines in lavender when his eyes narrow down as someone moves the curtain on the door away and enters the room. He sits up mesmerized in the bed, as the saree clad figure, picks up the remote for the music system and moves slowly forward.. face veiled up... the sound of anklets fills the atmosphere. Arnav sits at the edge of the bed.. his curious eyes stuck on the figure. She sits down on the floor as the room fills up with the dim light of candles.. she points the remote to the music system and the lights and then puts it down on the floor. As the lights come up, the veiled up face of Khushi clad in beautiful black saree is seen.. Arnav's eyes twinkle as he watches Khushi remove her veil slowly. Khushi starts dancing to a relatively erotic number that talks about the burning desire and passion. Khushi however makes very cute face as she enacts.. she goes to stand up and almost trips on her saree, reflexively Arnav jumps to his feet and rushes towards her.. Khushi gets closer to him and puts her hands all over his chest passionately and pulls him close to her as she continues to dance... Then she puts her pallu over his face and almost ends up entagled with him.. as he struggles to remove her pallu from his face, she stumbles and Arnav quickly moves to hold her in his arms.. Khushi continues the passionate and erotic dance ..One arm wrapped around his shoulder as he holds her in his arms, she moves her body passionately against his as her hands light fire in his body when she moves it over his chest and then down his face and lips passionately. Then Khushi leaves him and dances around and in front of him.. swaying her body in an erotic and passionate manner .. acute smile lights up her face. Her eyes twinkle.. as her milky skin glows over her midriff, her bare back, barely covered by the tiny strip of the black blouse and her bare arms.. Arnav watches her with adorable eyes and a sweet smile on his face as she swirls and sways around him... His mischievous smirk deepens as Khushi gets behind him and slides her passionate hand down his chest... Khushi then tries to entwine her leg with Arnav's, she stumbles again only to be caught by Arnav's strong arm once again.. He continues to stay under control with a cute smile brightening his face as Khushi's passionate fingers keep sliding down his face; she pulls him close to herself holding tee shirt by his collar.. she continues to dance around him like a doll... her hair flows.. her face shines.. her eyes twinkle... she lets herself loose and continues to enact the passionate words of the song. When Arnav sits on the chair, she sits in his lap and continues to put her arms around his neck as she sways her body .. Arnav then gently pushes her to her feet from his lap.. as he stands up she dances around him.. in full form. Enjoys herself as she dances beautifully yet passionately.. bringing a broad smile to Arnav's face. His beloved gives him his wish. What he wanted her to do for him for spoiling his bachelor party.. more beautifully then he could have ever imagined! Khushi becomes conscious as she notices the grin on Arnav's face, controls herself but continues to enact the lyrics.. more erotic now.. Arnav smiles and shakes his head. As he moves away. Khushi runs to grab his hand.. instead ends up stumbling and both fall down on the bed. Khushi on the bed with Arnav's face extremely close to hers.. Arnav's hands on either side of her resting supporting him. Khushi's hands gently cup his face...

As Khushi holds on to Arnav's face in cupped in her affectionate hands, he gazes into her eyes with a smile on his face. He asks in a soft, affectionate voice, "Why did you come here?" Khushi says affectionately, "I came to tell you that you belong to me only! And if.. someone else.. some witch comes close to you, then I ..her.." Arnav asks in a husky whisper as his eyes caress her face, "What?... her...what will you do?" Khushi looks him into the eye and says, "I will kill her!" and adds mischievously, "But.. before that, I will pull all her hair off!" This brings a pure, happy smile to both their faces as they continue to gaze into each others eyes.. Arnav says in a soft voice, "I want to show you something. Come with me!" Arnav holds Khushi's hand that cups his face and pulls her to her feet.

Saiyaara Main Saiyaara Sitaroan Ke Jahaan Mein Milenge Hum Yara:

Arnav opens the door. Khushi and Arnav enter the room hand in hand. Arnav closes the door behind them as Khushi's eyes take in the decor of the dimly lit, simple yet beautiful room. Khushi stands close to the door as Arnav gets the remote to the projector. With remote in his hands, Arnav takes Khushi's hand and leads her gently over to the spread in the middle of the room. "Sit!" he instructs her in a soft voice.. slightly hesitant Khushi follows his instructions. Arnav sits down next to her as she sits down on the spread. Without a word, Arnav wraps his arm around Khushi's shoulder and leads her into a lying down position next to him, her head supported over his arm and shoulder. Okay, I have to admit this... My heart skips a bit every single time I watch him lead her lay down on the floor next to him... the action is so smooth... So gingerly ... so delicately he handles his love... affection just oozes from his eyes.. my heart invariably skips a beat every time. No matter how many times .. at least a fifty-sixty times I have watched it now...

Khushi and Arnav lay down side by side, her head over his shoulder, his arm wrapped around her... The room fills up with stars and celestial things from the galaxy when Arnav uses the remote to switch the projector on. The room fills with tranquility as Khushi and Arnav's faces depict immense happiness and contentment watching over the star filled atmosphere.. Khushi's pure eyes go wide, a joyous smile adorns her face... Arnav's heart calms down, with his beloved in his arms under a star filled sky.. Khushi's words endorse his efforts, "How beautiful is this!" In a heavy voice Arnav says, "I could not have done this at home." Khushi looks up in his eyes.. as he gazes down to her... her head still resting on his shoulder, his arm still wrapped around her.. as they lay on the soft furry spread snuggled next to each other. Arnav continues in a soft, emotionally heavy voice, "I thought I could do it here on the terrace, but .. then it was cloudy.. " Khushi interrupts him, "This is even more beautiful!" Arnav's eyes immediately come back to Khushi as she says this... a relaxed smile, filled with solace and affection brightens their faces. Arnav's eyes ooze affection as he looks at Khushi. Khushi turns and rests her head again on his shoulder as she looks around, asks, "What made you think of this?" As they gaze at the stars, Arnav answers, "I thought... whenever you might remember your Amma-Babuji, then..." Khushi looks up at him with a vulnerable look in her eyes as Arnav's face turns tender.. his eyes moist... As their eyes communicate, Arnav points to one of the brighter stars and says, "Look! That's my mother.. . just adjacent to her.. is yours!" Khushi's eyes well up as her heart gets heavy with emotions.. As Khushi's eyes well up, she thinks for a moment.. then rolls.. wraps her arm around Arnav and rests her head on his chest. Arnav's arm now moves with her to hold her close to him as she snuggles, other arm wraps around her arm holding her close.. Wrapped in the beautiful embrace Khushi asks, "What do you think they must be talking about?.. They must be talking about us!" Khushi looks up at Arnav and says happily, "They must be saying that we are very lucky that we found real love!" Arnav looks at her and asks in almost a whisper, "How do you know that this is real love?" Khushi says, "Because I know that one tear from my eyes hurts you a thousand times!" Arnav's eyes turn moist and voice gets heavier as he looks into Khushi's eyes and says, "Every single time!" I gulp here and choke with emotions.. shall I stop saying, every single time I watch it?

Khushi's immediately brings her hand to Arnav's face.. gently... affectionately.. in a soothing manner she holds his face in her hand, as her fingers caress his face she says in a heavy voice, "I know!" Khushi probably just wants to hide Arnav in her heart here. Her voice gets heavier and more emotional as she continues, "When you had gone away from me... then.." Their hearts know what they mean as they gaze into each others eyes and as their soothing and affectionate touches talk to each other.. Arnav gingerly moves his arm around Khushi's head so that he brings her face close to his and plants a heavy, emotional affectionate kiss on her forehead to sooth her.. something that he would have wanted to do had he known how much she missed him then! Khushi then says as her fingers and her gaze continue to caress his face, "Do you know that once I felt as if you had called out for me!" Arnav whispers, very emotional now, "I did!" " I sat down by poolside." Khushi says. Arnav adds, "And we talked'" Her voice about to choke when Khushi says, "We both.." "Are so weird!" Arnav completes her sentence with an affectionate smile as his fingers caress her shoulder.. Khushi smiles as her caressing fingers pull his face closer. Simultaneously Arnav's caressing arm now pulls Khushi closer.. he is about to turn to face Khushi as their embrace tightens when his foot hits the remote and the projector shuts down.. making the celestial atmosphere disappear and fill the room with extremely dim light. Khushi immediately tries to sit up as she pulls away from Arnav.. Arnav quickly grabs her hand resting on his chest and holds her back... Khushi looks into his eyes.. his eyes now filled with passion and desire.. He holds her hand and gingerly brings it to his lips as his other arm wraps around her shoulders and pulls her closer.. and closer... His eyes ooze extreme passion as he plants a heavy passionate kiss on her hand.. his eyes communicate the deep desire that burns inside his heart as his other arm digs into her shoulder ever so gingerly.. Passion takes over.. Arnav slowly rolls with Khushi... his eyes on her luscious lips... Khushi closes her eyes as her heart starts racing... fills up with anticipation. Her lips quiver .. she breaths heavily.. nervously holds her body stiff in his embrace though her heart beats faster with anticipation.. Arnav looks at the mesmerizing nervous beauty trembling but stiff in his embrace... her hand in his... He looks at her vulnerable face and says softly, "Sorry, Khushi!" Khushi's eyes open up as she hears him. As they look into each others eyes, Arnav continues, "I know that you don't... any of it... before the wedding..." He says in an assuring voice and with a gaze to match, "I know It. I am sorry!" His fingers continue to cares her hand in his grip. I am so proud of you Arnav Singh Raizada! Lover ho toh aisa! He is the same guy who could not bring himself to say sorry to anyone just more than a year back. And now here he is.. so soft, so understanding... tenderly apologizing to his beloved about attempting something against her wish! I am sure that Khushi's heart filled to the brim with love for you!

And indeed it does! Khushi's heart fills up with affection and love for Arnav.. she reaches for his face.. as her hand caresses his face ever so gently.. she looks deep into his eye and says in a heavy voice... her gaze pure..., "You understand! I trust you completely... trust in your love..!" Arnav again reaches for her hand that caresses his face.. holds it and brings it to his lips to plant another affectionate kiss on her hand as his other arm keeps holding her in his embrace. Khushi's heart fills with love as his eyes continue to ooze affection.. she wraps her arm around him and hugs him tight.. brings her head to rest on his chest again. Arnav wraps both his arms around her and tightens the embrace... As they stay wrapped in each others arms... their hearts at peace and filled with love.. their bodies relaxed and their faces tranquil.. Arnav says softly as he holds Khushi close to his heart, becomes sentimental, "Khushi, you know, until I met you... everything used to seem incomplete!... as if there was something missing!" Khushi lifts her head to look into Arnav's eyes, her hand caresses the back of his neck...and his head... as they gaze into each others eyes, Arnav says with moist eyes, eyes on the verge of welling up.., " Khushi, promise me.. that you will never leave me!" Khushi immediately holds his face in her hand and caresses his face with her fingers to sooth him.. Arnav's eyes well up and his voice chokes as he adds, "I will not be able to live without you!"

Khushi's heart now becomes overwhelmed with love for Arnav. As her affectionate gaze caresses Arnav's face, her hand brings his face closer.. Still in the embrace, Khushi leans forward and plants a heavy affectionate kiss on his cheek.. A flicker of tranquil smile runs across Arnav's face. Khushi's hand caresses his face more affectionately now as she looks deep into his eyes.. Arnav's eyes well up as he gazes back into her affectionate eyes... Khushi reaches for his eyes and plants an affectionate kiss on his welled up eye before any tear can roll away. Arnav's face fills with contentment.. tranquility takes over his face.. Khushi pulls away ever so slightly.. gazes into his eyes.. brings her face closer to Arnav's.. Her lips very close to his.. This wakes up Arnav's passion once again..

Arnav's eyes fill up with passion and desire... As Khushi's hand stays wrapped around his neck Arnav holds her shoulder and gently rolls her around to rest on his hand. Their faces so close... warm breaths touch each others face... Arnav slowly removes the Kangan from Khushi's arm as she nervously allows him... her eyes still depict the faith she has in him. She keeps gazing into his eyes as he slowly removes all the bangles from that arm.. Arnav's passionate eyes caress Khushi's face as he reaches for her arm.. hold it gingerly into his. Brings it to his passionate lips.. and plants some light, passionate kisses on her arm as his hand holds her hand with brimming passion.. Wrapped in his arms, Khushi's heart struggles with her mind as Arnav's lips get closer to hers. Breathing heavily she turns her face away. Closes her eyes as she finds it hard to fight the passion in her own heart.. Arnav's desire filled eyes silently wait.. as Khushi turns her face back towards him.. her eyes still closed.. she continues to breath heavily.. Passion now fills her heart as well... Arnav's eyes continue to ooze desire as his eyes caress her face.. Khushi cannot take it anymore. She gives into her heart and passionately wraps her arm around Arnav and hugs him tight.. very tight.. Desire and passion mount high as they stay in each others tight embrace.. Arnav's eager hand now gently slides over Khushi's almost bare back... touching Khushi ever so gingerly. Khushi's body reciprocates every touch of his as his fingers gradually gain hold of the dory of her blouse... Arnav's fingers undo the dori on Khushi's blouse..

Khushi rests her head on Arnav's arm and rests her hand on his chest... Arnav passionately plants a kiss on her forehead. As Khushi looks him into the eye he says in a husky whisper, "Khushi, I.." Khushi looks him into the eye. With a heavy, emotional voice she grants him the permission, "I know.." Khushi knows that Aranv has been longing for the kiss long enough... As Arnav rolls over to cover Khushi's body with his.. Khushi wraps her arm around his neck and pulls his face closer to hers digging with her fingers into his hair... Aranv completes the kiss.. they finally kiss! Even though the stars are no more to be seen they exist in the surrounding.. in that room.. in the ambiance... As if Arnav and Khushi finally had their first kiss under the starlit sky...

Next Morning: Khushi looks beautiful in her sleep. She wakes up with a happy smile on her face as says in her sleep, "Arnav ji!" Khushi rolls over her side and remembers the most intimate moments she spent with Arnav last night.. the images of their passionate kiss fill her mind.. She sits up in the bed as she blushes and a smile spreads across her face.. Her eyes go to Devi Maiyya on the table, she folds her legs, puts her hands together and prays, "Devi Maiyya, you know that today is a big day for me! A special day!" She closes her eyes in prayer and says, "Today is my wedding!" Then it hits her.. she opens her eyes in shock and screams, "Today is my wedding?"
