21 We are Engaged
Part 21
GH
Khushi was sleeping. She got disturbed by phone ring. It was a video call from Arnav. She switched on the light and attended it with her sleepy voice squeezing her eyes.
Khushi: Arnav....
Arnav: Happy Birthday my dear sleepy head.
Khushi sat on the bed jerking. She looked at the phone screen. Arnav was holding a chocolate cake in his hand with a singing candle on it. Next second, she saw Aman and Akash came into the phone frame singing "Happy Birthday to you". She was stunned and no need to say her eyes brimmed with tears as usual.
Arnav: I warn you Khushi. Don't you dare cry.
She wiped her teas before it touches her cheek and smiled.
Arnav cut the cake and gestured like feeding it to her. Khushi acted like she ate it. Akash was about to take a piece, Aman smacked it on his face making Khushi laugh hard. Arnav took a big piece of cake before Akash did it in return on Aman's face. Arnav saw Khushi smiling seeing their atrocity.
Arnav: Go to sleep. Or else you will not be looking fresh in college. (Khushi nodded yes.) Good night.
Khushi: This is really a "Good night" of my life. She said gulping.
Arnav knew he made her emotional. But he has to do it because she deserves it. He knew Khushi never celebrated her birthday. The way Arnav showed important to her in every phrase of life took her out of the world.
College
Payal gave her cookery book as Khushi wished to learn cooking.
Khushi: Wow...thank you Payal.
Payal: Mention not. I too want to read it because it has many useful tips. I will take it from you after some days.
Khushi: Sure.
Payal: Let's go.
Khushi: Where?
Payal: Where else? To meet your king.
Khushi followed her smilingly. Aman gifted her "clutch" and Akash gave her chocolate but Arnav was standing folding his hands. Khushi came to him.
Khushi: Where is my gift?
Arnav: You have to come with me if you want gift.
Khushi: Where?
Arnav: Come and see it by yourself.
Arnav gestured Payal and she smiled at him. He dragged Khushi with him. Khushi got amazed seeing him starting his car.
Khushi: Did you come by car?
Arnav(nodding yes): I can't take you covering your head as we are not going out of city.
Khushi: Where are you taking me?
Arnav: Don't worry, I won't eat you up.
Seeing the car entering RM, Khushi got embarrassed.
Khushi: Oh my gosh... Arnav, aunty will surely get doubt on us if she sees me.
Arnav: She won't.
He got down from the car and opened the door extending his hand for her to hold.
Khushi: Arnav, I'm really scared. What aunty will think of me?
Arnav: I said she won't. Come...
Khushi frowned seeing him removing the key from his pocket.
Khushi: Is Aunty not at home?
Arnav: No.
Khushi: uncle?
Arnav: They went to Lucknow to meet massi. Come.
They entered RM joining hands.
Khushi: You mean...
Arnav: Akash's mother.
Khushi: No one is at home except servants?
Arnav: Not even servants. Only you and me.
Khushi (excited): Really? What a surprise birthday gift.....
She hopped happily. Arnav gave her a box.
Arnav: Go and get changed.
Khushi: What is this?
Arnav: Saree.
Khushi: Red color?
Arnav: Green.
Khushi: But you like RED.
Arnav: That's why I didn't give RED. (He winked.)
Arnav didn't want to take risk by giving her RED saree.
Khushi: Why saree?
Arnav: It's because I have not seen you in saree. That's why.
Khushi went to his room frowning. Within few minutes Khushi opened the door. Seeing Arnav waiting at the door-step, she asked him by her eyes "how is it?" Arnav began to take steps towards her with deep gaze on her. Khushi moved backwards. She got hit on the dressing table.
Arnav (smiling): This color is not that bad on you.
Khushi (dropping her jaw): Then I will remove it.
Arnav (folding his hands): Go ahead.
Khushi (widening her eyes): Go out.
Arnav: No...
Khushi: Ok, I will go to another room.
Arnav: I will follow you wherever you go. This is my oath on your birthday.
Khushi: You are not good boy.
Arnav: Thank god, Finally.... this is what I wanted.
Khushi(confused): What?
Arnav: It's very hard to pretend like a good boy you know? now I can do anything as you knew that I'm bad.
Khushi: Ohh really? What will you do? Come on, do it....
She started moving towards him. Arnav was dumb founded as he didn't expect this kind of move from Khushi. He caught hold of her hands.
Arnav: Do you really want me to do what I want?
He asked with lopsided smile. His smile faded hearing her reply.
Khushi: Do you think I will stop you if you do anything?
Arnav went speechless.
Arnav: Don't be crazy. Come.
He dragged her to the kitchen.
Arnav: What do you like to have?
Khushi: Anything....
Arnav: Coffee?
Khushi: Yah...
They reached the Kitchen. Arnav gently lifted her by her waist and made her sit on the kitchen slab. Khushi's eyes popped out by his sudden romantic act.
Arnav: I knew you don't know to prepare coffee.
Khushi ( nodded yes pouting): But I will learn.
Arnav: It's your wish.
Khushi: No no. I will learn everything from aunty and help her.
Arnav prepared two cup of coffee and handed over one to Khushi. Khushi sipped it and tapped her tongue relishing.
Khushi: Arnav, no cook in my house prepares coffee this tasty.
Arnav(chuckled): Thank you.
A crazy thought of drinking Arnav's coffee hit Khushi's mind. She dropped her hand key from her hand Arnav kept his cup on the kitchen slab and took it bending down as Khushi was sitting on the kitchen slab. Using the chance, Khushi exchanged their cups.
Seeing Khushi suppressing her smile, Arnav didn't get anything until he sipped his coffee. Khushi purposely dropped her hand key to change Arnav's cup unaware of the truth that Arnav's coffee was sugarless. Arnav smiled at her biting his lips. Khushi sipped his coffee and got stuck. She closed her eyes smiling awkwardly.
Arnav: What have you done?
He asked coming close to her. Khushi drank the coffee in one go and jumped from the slab pushing him. She started running out of the Kitchen laughingly. Arnav chased her and caught her in jiffy. Circling her waist he lifted her from behind. He twirled her in the air making her giggle. Arnav sat on the coach taking her on his lap panting hard.
Khushi dropped herself on his shoulder smiling.
Khushi turned towards him. Using her saree pallu, Khushi started wiping his sweat beats softly. Arnav smiled at her. He sensed, distance between them was decreasing. He swallowed as Khushi kissed his cheek lovingly.
Khushi(in feeble tone): You should have wished me by doing this.
Arnav: But I won't kiss you like a kid.
Khushi: Then?
Arnav (tucking her hair): I will kiss you like you kissed me in your generator room.
Khushi (caressing his lips): Who stops you?
Arnav (with his lop sided smile): I already told you I'm a bad boy.
Khushi: For your kind information, I'm also not that good.
Arnav (chuckled): Really?
Khushi: Do you want me to show you how bad I'm?
Arnav (pinching her nose): Pagal. Get down from me.
Khushi nodded NO.
Arnav: Don't provoke me. (He said drowsily.)
Khushi: why I'm thinking you are already provoked?
Arnav tried to put her down but Khushi was adamant. She nodded no circling his neck.
Arnav: What will you do if I go ahead than a kiss?
Without thinking for a second,
Khushi: Go....
Arnav forcefully put her down and stood.
Arnav: Let's go to the college.
Khushi (pouting): But why?
Arnav (teasingly): Seems like, there is no guarantee for my virginity.
He said laughing and turned to go from there. Khushi clutched his wrist. Arnav stood without turning but smiling.
Khushi: Isn't your virginity belongs to only me? When you lose your virginity, I too will lose mine but I will never repent for it.
Arnav's smile got vanished. He turned towards her.
Arnav: Khushi do you have any idea, what are you talking about?
Khushi: Do you think I'm talking without sense? There is nothing other than you in my mind. (pause) Do you know about my life? Do you know how I'm surviving?
Arnav was embarrassed. Because he knew she would cry.
Khushi: I'm dreaming of the day when we walk on the road hand on the hand, the day we are talking on and on. Where you are... there is everything to me. I want my dreams come true and show you who you really are to me. The smile which you see on my face is what I have gotten from you. You made me behave and talk in this way. I feel, the bound between us is centuries deep-rooted. This world is nothing when you are close to me. Please be that close to me Arnav, as close as my heart beat.
Tears rolled down into her cheeks making her chest wet.
Arnav: Khushiii....
Khushi: Let me cry, I want to cry because I knew you will take me in your arms. Let the pain which is suppressed in my heart get vanished. I have so much pain that only you can heal. I don't want to be separated from you not even by death.
Arnav drew her on his chest and embraced her as tight as possible.
Arnav: Without you I will be incomplete Khushi. It's my promise, I will marry you and I will be there for you. Arnav and Khushi will be together forever.
He broke the hug and removed a box from his pocket. There was a Heart shape "white gold" ring. Arnav gently inserted it in her left hand ring finger.
Arnav: We are engaged, means you are my half wife....
Khushi(cutting him): Full wife.
Arnav: Ok. full wife. So don't be stressed. I will become your husband soon officially. No matter how many Shashi Guptas and Rohit Negis are against us. Ok?
Khushi nodded yes and kissed the ring.
Arnav: What will you say if your mother asks about the ring?
Khushi: I will say it's Payal's gift.
Arnav: And you can say it's just a silver ring.
Khushi(nodded ok): Shall we go?
Arnav: But I didn't get anything in return yet. (He grinned.)
Khushi: someone was so scared to be with me few minutes ago?
Arnav: of course I'm scared (pause) in front of your charm... beauty... elegance...
He touched her soft cheek softly making Khushi shut her eyes. Khushi felt his passionate lips on her cheek. He pressed his lips on her cheek and stayed inhaling her scent which driven him drowsy. After that, he couldn't stop himself from slamming his lips on her's. He circled her neck by his left hand whereas his right hand snaked her waist supportively. After a while, Arnav broke the killer connection half-heartedly. Khushi also was in the same state. Of course everything between them was mutual. Khushi circled his neck.
Khushi: Arnav...
Arnav: Mmmm...
Khushi: Arnav......
Arnav felt kind of restlessness in her tone.
Arnav: Khushi everything will be alright. Trust me.
Khushi: I trust you.
Arnav kissed her hair lovingly.
Arnav: Let's have lunch.
Khushi broke the hug getting amazed.
Khushi: Lunch? Who prepared it?
Arnav: Me, with the help of HP.
Khushi: Really?
Arnav: Come...
He tenderly pulled her towards him and scooped her in his arms. Khushi snaked his neck with an adorable smile. Arnav headed towards the dining. Arnav made her sit on the chair and served in a plate.
Khushi: Won't you eat?
Arnav sat beside her taking the plate in his arms.
Khushi: Where is my plate?
Arnav forwarded a morsel towards her mouth. Khushi was awe stuck. She gulped and opened her mouth.
Arnav: Stop being emotional. Get used to it.
Khushi shifted into his lap and hugged his neck.
Khushi: I love ....
Arnav(cutting her): I know. I too love you so much.
Khushi: I'm blessed.
Arnav: Shhhh... Don't talk while eating.
He fed her another morsel. Khushi likes "food" but now, "food" seemed to be not important to her as there were many things to relish more than food.
To be continued........
Today's Inkitt update
Our Family
Garima was looking at the STAMP PAPERS which were in her hands. She was thinking about how to get Shashi's signature on it. However she thought, she didn't get any apt idea. Because it was a very dangerous matter. Her chapter would get closed if she get caught. She had to wait until she got a proper chance. Her thought got broken seeing Khushi.
Wearing Arnav's white gold ring, Khushi entered GH looking here and there nervously with Payal's Cookery book in her hand. As expected, Garima's voice stopped her. Khushi's breath got caught in her chest. She stood without moving beside the bookshelf. She slowly kept the cookery book in the shelf and turned towards Garima.
