Chapter 4

The sun rose into the bright sky and Khushi was fast asleep until she heard her phone bell ring like a speeding fire alarm. She woke up with a stark hearing the phone ring. She saw Arnav calling a soft smile played on her lips she smiled answered the phone

Khushi: Arnavji (she said in a sleepy voice)

Arnav: Hey how are you feeling

Khushi: My head hurts and every thing is going round and round

Arnav: (chuckled) You got drunk last night

Khushi: (eyes popped out ) What !!

Arnav: (chuckled once more) I am coming over to your room ok. Get ready in 15 minutes and then we will go out

Khushi: No way you can't come here what is Kartick sees you. (she looked around the room it was empty and then she said all confused) But where is Kartick

Arnav: He is with his friends in the pool side

Khushi: How do you know

Arnav: I found out, Now get ready i am coming there

Khushi: Ok fine you dont come here i will meet you in the lobby

Arnav: Cool

Saying that he hung up. Khushi went to the bathroom to have a bath. She felt so good standing under the hot shower felt like heaven was on her. She was about to remove her salwar but then put it aside removing the new dress that she bought that day. She smiled at the yellow dress and then said in a soft voice.

Khushi: I am wearing this only for you Arnavji (she said happily as her heart thumped up and down)

She had no idea if it was still the alcohol or herself but it felt good and she completely forgot about Kartick who was probably now at the back of her mind. Putting on a bit of light make up she left the room walking towards the lobby.

Arnav stood there in a blue shirt and jeans. He looked so handsome. She smiled as she saw him and he smirked and raised his eye brows and then he said

Arnav: Your wearing a dress how come

Khushi: (smiled back) Because i feel new i feel different thats why

Arnav: (smirked back) Nice to know (he held her hand and then took her to the car) Come lets go

Arnav felt so good to see Khushi who was so happy it made him feel light and made his heart pound to his chest. She looked beautiful in a dress. He decided that today he would take her to another dress shop to by more dresses since she liked them

They took off to explore another place in Goa. He took her around to all the different places they visited more churches they went out shopping. They were walking on the streets when they came across a really cute dress shop. Arnav took Khushi into the small shack she looked through all the dresses and then Arnav said

Arnav: Why dont you buy some

KHushi: (felt shy) But i can't wear these everyday

Arnav: You can wear them till your in Goa. Come on your here for two weeks more you can wear them when your out with me (he said to her)

Khushi: But Kartick (she said nervously)

Arnav: (rolled his eyes) Chill he wont even know (he paused and then smirked) Besides you look cute in them

Khushi blushed and her heart started to beat when she heard that Arnav found her looking cute. This meant so much to her and she didn't know why. She smiled back at him and then they chose the dresses together. Khushi was so engrossed in shopping that she forgot her phone was ringing. Then Arnav said

Arnav: Khushi your phone is ringing

Khushi realized smiled back and then nodded she took her phone out it was Kartick, She answered the phone

Khushi: Hi Kartic

Kartic: Khushi where are you i was trying you for so long

Khushi: I was out shopping. What happened ?? (she asked him sweetly)

Kartic: Khushi my friend has a bungalow in goa and i am shifting there for a few days ok (he informed her)

Khushi: Ohk (she said softly) Can i come too (she asked)

Arnav watched as she asked him she looked sad and nervous he waited to see whats happening

Kartick: No you can't. Khushi i dont want to be embarrassed if front of my friends, You too middle class (he said bluntly)

Her expressions changed and then cut the call. She put her cell phone back turned to the clothes rack and then pretended to smile.Arnav observed how she tried to hide her pain. Once she finished choosing the clothes she paid and then smiled at him and they walked out of the shop. He couldn't take it any more she was sad. He hated seeing her sad. He held her hand and took her away she asked confused

Khushi: Arnavji what happened

Arnav: Come with me (he said irritated)

Khushi: But where (she asked confused)

Arnav didn't answer he just took her they had a long walk until they reached the end of the street which opened into a beach which was empty . They walked on the beach towards the ocean and then Arnav left her hand and she asked her

Khushi: Why have you brought me here (she asked confused and lost)

Arnav: You look sad what happened (he asked worried)

Khushi: Its nothing (she turned away hiding her tears)

Arnav: (turned her around and then saw her tears, he wiped them off and said) Tell me what happened Khushi

Khushi: NO i wont let it be Arnavji I am fine (she insisted)

Arnav: (started to loose patience he caught hold of her shoulders and pulled her towards him, her breasts rested on his chest Khushi's heart started to beat and Arnav said in anger) Just tell me dammit

Khushi: (was shocked to see him like that she never thought he would be so aggressive and so she yelled) Leave me Arnavji i told you its nothing

Arnav: (griped onto her tighter) Not until you tell me what did that Skum bag tell you

Khushi: (trying to let go she looked up at him angry and then said) Mind it Arnavji he is my husband

Arnav: (still holding onto her now more tighter screamed)  What the !! Husband, WHat crap he is not your husband. He is a coward and an idiot who does not appreciate an angle like you. He is an idiot for mistreating you and i know he has broken your heart again and your sad

Khushi: (looked up into his eyes she found possessiveness and love in them she found caring and passion. but she kept quite and didn't answer he waited for a while and then she said) What difference does it make I am stuck with him my whole life. (she said sadly) And why do you care so much

Arnav:(in a spur of a moment yelled back) Because i care for you dammit. Call me crazy but i do (he gripped on to her tight) You have millions of options i refuse to believe your stuck with him.

Khushi: I am stuck with him My babuji got me married and now i must stay with Kartic to honor my father

Arnav: Khushi i am sure your dad is not going to be happy when he finds out that your not. (he paused and then said) I dont know your family but i know you in the couple of days we have spent i can see your not happy. (he looked at her once more and then said to her meaningfully) Share you pain with me Khsuhi i am here for you

She looked up into his eyes and a tear fell from them. She looked at him closer she couldn't take it she let loose she buried her head on his chest and began to cry her hands slowly made their way on his back and he embraced her with open arm she cried on his chest, she felt so soft so delicate so light hearted so safe. He was feeling nice too she was in his arms nothing could feel more right then that. The waves made romantic chimes and the wind blew. After Khushi finished crying her heart out on his chest she looked up at him. He looked calmly at her. He was still holding her by the waist he slowly took one of his hands and wiped off the tears and then asked her in a soft voice

Arnav: Tell me everything Khushi

Khsuhi (nodded) Kartic called and told me that he is moving into his friends house for the two weeks that we are here. I asked him if i could come and he said no because i was middle class and i will embarrass him. Arnavji am i that bad (she wept again)

Arnav: (wiped her tears) Shhhh Dont cry. Your not embarrassing your perfect Khushi (he spoke his heart) Your the most beautiful girl that i have ever seen. Its a shame that Kartic doesn't value you

Khushi: (felt so nice when he spoke about her that way) Thank you Arnavji

Arnav: (pulled her into an other hug she rested her head on his chest and then said to her cutely) Shhh now dont cry. Let him go where he wants we can have fun by ourself i promise Khushi these few days that your here we will have a great time

Khushi nodded her head still on his chest. She looked up at the sky and said to herself she wished Arnavji was her real life prince. She really did. This is all that she wanted a man who would love her for who she is and what she was.

They broke the hug and then Arnav and Khushi went ahead walking on the beach as Arnav tried to cheer her up and make her laugh.
