Chapter 14

Khushi ran outside and went to her room. She put her hand on her heart which was beating faster and faster. The noise of Arnav's heart beat was still ringing through her ears. She could hear it beat and it matched the same speed as Arnavs. She went again and looked at herself in the mirror a blush on her face she resized that he loved her. She could feel it she could feel him. A magic sparked in her eyes when she had forgotten all that was around her all she remembered was his heart beat and how it matched hers. Was this right was this meant to be. She opened her eyes as she remembered reality as she remembered Kartic. The man who was married to her but never loved her, the man who never made her feel special or even gave her the position  on his wife and then she saw Arnav who was a stranger but yet so special who always wade her feel like she was beautiful that she was special. She wasn't his wife and yet she felt like she was his. She thought of him to be her prince charming her man.

Khushi looked at herself in the mirror as the new feeling poured into her, she had figured out that her heart belonged to him she was his, She realized that he had fallen for her the day he saw her sitting on that beach all alone. Ever since then he has always comforted her and made her feel that she was the most amazing person on the planet. Her heart beat started to raise and she went towards her Devi maya's statue and picked it up and looked at it

Khushi: Devi Maya I love him (she smiled) I love him I love Arnavji and I know he loves me too.  Devi maya he is my prince (she kissed the statue) Thank you so much for this I know you brought us together.. I dont know how to repay you for such a man... (she paused and then she said) but I am not going to confess first (she said with a naughty smile) He has to tell me he loves me first only then I will tell him how much I love him (her heart started to beat fast)

Meanwhile Arnav was having a shower. After Khushi ran away from the room like that it kept him wondering what happened to her suddenly. He remembered that cute smile that he saw of hers as he woke up. Today felt like a good morning and he wished his whole life could go like this. What magic this girl had on him he wondered. His smile increased and he made up his mind to talk to her and find out what happened and why she left like that.

Khushi smiled as she came down. The glow on her face was evident and stood out. Ishaara noticed and said in a bubbly voice

Ishaara: Khushi what happened suddenly your glowing you went to wake up Bhai right

Khsuhi: (hesitated nervously) Ha woh nothing Ish just general today seems to be a very good day

At that point of time Arnav came down the steps and Khushi looked at him blushing he wondered what was up with her, but he noticed the glow too. Then Ishaara said

Ishaara: Oh I see suddenly the morning became special is it.

Khsuhi: Yeah (she said softly then changing the topic she said) So what do we plan to do today

Rohit: well there is a party on Wagatore beach and its a big one i was thinking lets go there.

Anjili: great idea sounds like fun. We can shop at the flee market all day and then we can come back get ready have dinner at Thalasa and then go for the party (she smiled)

Arnav: Di I dont know I dont think I am up for a party, I have to look at some emails. (he said softly)

Khusuhi: (who noticed came and sat next to Anjili and said) Anjiliji I think its a great idea I would love to come, sounds like fun (she said with a smile)

Arnav: Ok may be the party is not that bad an idea (he said smirking)

Khushi: (in a cute voice) But Arnavji you said you dont want to come then how come you changed your mind (she smirked back at him)

Arnav: Because your planning on going and i can't let you go alone (he raised his eye brows then turned to Arnjili and said) Di dont be fooled by her kitten like appearance... when she drinks she becomes a tiger (he smirked and Khushi blushed)

Anjili Rohit and Ishaara couldn't stop laughing their ass's off these two were so cute. Then Rohit said

Rohit: Great so we are all going sounds like loads of fun... besides I would love to see a drunk Khushi

They all burst out laughing as Khushi looked at Arnav and blinked at him thanking him for coming with them to the party. She so wanted him to be there with her. To take care of her. She never wanted to be away from him she wanted to be close to him it felt safe with him around. 

Chapter 13

Khushi woke up it was around 11 am, she got off her bed stretching and yawning away and then made her way to the closet to remove her clothes, Today she decided to wear the yellow dress Arnav loved that dress he always told her that yellow made her look very cute, An instant blush on her face she smiled and then touched her cheeks as they became hot. She ran to the mirror to check what was wrong with her and noticed her red cheeks ...

Khushi: Khushi stop blushing (she spoke to herself) My Arnavji na what has he done to me  (she said in a worried tone)

Then she relized what she said she called Arnav hers and her heart started to beat faster and faster at the speed of lighting. Her cheeks became hotter

Khushi: Khushi what is this happening to you are you sick or something.. (she touched her fore head) My Arnavji what is wrong with you, he is not mine.... Khushi for sure your sick...

Khushi felt so new today she woke up with that glowing smile and she felt so special, she had no idea why and what this was but it felt good and it was all because of her Arnavji... The love bug had caught onto her for sure, she just didn't know it yet.

As she came out she saw Anjili and Ishaara making breakfast.

Khushi: Anjiliji  good morning can i help you

Anjili: Khushi hi good morning (she gave out that radiant smile) Sure off course can you do me a favor and go and wake up Chottey.

 Khushi looked nervous and Ishaara tried to controle her smile. Anjili also did the same and Rohit who was reading the paper, put his paper down and looked at the two sisters and knew there was something up with them. Then he looked at Khushi and said

Rohit: Yeah Khushi why dont you go and wake up Arnav, you know we were thinking of heading to the beach.

Khsuhi: Sure Rohitji I will wake him up. (she said nervously)

Meanwhile Arnav was fast asleep in his room, dreaming of Khushi he had a soft smile on his face. The previous day he just realized that he was madly and completely in love with Khushi... what was with this girl that just made him forget himself. In the past few days Arnav forgot that he was a business tycoon he forgot that he was a ruthless man, all he remembered was that he was more lighter way happier as soon as this girl walked into his life. She was his magic and that was for sure. God if only there was a way for them to be together. He thought but he knew about Kartic and he wanted to strangle him for troubling Khushi his Khushi how dare he. The one thing he couldn't stand was a sad khushi. His eyes crinkled in his sleep.

Khushi entered the room and saw a sleeping Arnav. He looked so hot in his sleep his hair was so messy his eyes shut but wait what were those worry lines on his forehead and that angry look she wondered was he dreaming she thought. She slowly and lightly caressed his face with her soft fingers removing the lines of worry. Arnav felt her warm touch and the instant lines of worry diapered and the frown turned into a soft smile. She smiled back at him he was so cute. Arnav slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Khushi sitting on his bed in his favorite yellow dress. A wide grin on his face his heart started to beat fast. She looked beautiful and seeing her first thing in the morning made it even more special for him. She looked at him blushing he was shirtless. He got up and sat on his bed and rubbed his eyes and said in a sleepy voice.

Arnav: Hi Khushi..

Khushi: Hi Arnavji  good morning(she smiled back as her heart beat increased) Anjiliji has asked you to come down for breakfast

Arnav: Ohk I am coming (he said while removing his blanket)

He was in his track pants and was shirtless and when he moved the blanket to stand up Khushi stood up with him to leave but seeing him like that she couldn't control herself that warmth spreading through her, her heart going dhak dhak she felt week  in her knees and she collapsed on him. As soon as she fell on him he was taken by surprise and he lost balance and both of them fell on the bed in a second. Khushi's head was on Arnavs chest. She dug it in holding onto him tightly and he had his hands around her back keeping her safe both their eyes were shut tightly and Khushi could feel Arnav's heart beat and at that very moment she relized that he felt the same way she did. She got up from his chest looked at him with a scared and confused look and then ran out of the room leaving him totally lost and confused wondering what just happened.

Chapter 12

They were sipping on coffee when suddenly the door bell rang and Ishaara squealed in excitement

Ishaara: Di is here

Arnav and she smiled and then in a huff she ran to open the door Arnav looked towards Khushi she seemed nervous and then he took her hand in his and then said to her softly

Arnav: DOnt worry it will be all ok I promise

Khushi: BUt what if she doesn't like me then what (she said sad)

Arnav: And why wont she.. Your very lovable... She will love you just like i... (he realized what he was saying and stopped half way through) Dont worry Khuhsi She will understand the situation. (he gave her hope)

She nodded and then they went to the door. As Ishaara opened the door she jumped to hug her older sister. Khushi couldn't see her clearly for a second. But when Ishaara moved she saw a medium heighten woman in a long beach dress. She looked sweet and very pretty along with her was man he looked like her husband.  They came in and then Arnav smiled and hugged his sister

Arnav: Hi di Welcome to Goa

Anjili: Chottey so good to see u... (She caressed his face and then said in a soft voice) Look at you, You look different. Your face is glowing (she said genuinely) I am happy for you

Her husband smiled at the brother and sister and then Ishaara dragged Khushi towards Anjili and Khushi was really shy she tried to stop her but Ishaara was quick to say

Ishaara: Di I know the reason he is so happy and glowing and she is right here

Anjili smiled and looked towards Ishaara who had a young girl standing next to her. She was dressed in Simple clothes and she was blushing deep red with Ishaara's words. She smiled at Anjili and Anjili looked in the direction of her Chottey who looked conscious and started to pretend like he didn't know anything. She smiled at Khushi and then said in a bubbly voice.

Anjili: Hi I am Anjili Arnav;s elder sister

Khushi: (smiled back folded her hands and then said) Nameste Anjiliji I am Khushi

Anjili: (was a bit surprised by the sudden gesture) Khushi nice to meet you.

Khushi: Like wise Anjiiliji

Rohit: Khushi I am Anjili's husband ROhit

Khushi: Nameste Rohitji... You guys must be hungry come I have made food (she smiled)

Anjili did not expect this at all. They sat on the table and ate. As she took the first bite she smiled. It was really delicious Rohit said

Rohit: This is Yum. Wow Khushi you cook well

Anjili stayed silent and gave Arnav an impressed look. Who was a bit relived. Khushi was nervous of how they would like it but then when Rohit said it tasted good she was also relived. They ate and then Anjili and Rohit went to their room to settle as they were tired from the traveling. As they left Arnav went to Khushi and then said to her

Arnav: See I told you they would love you

Khushi: Yeah I know but they still dont know about what is happening. (She said sad and hugged him resting her head on his chest)

Arnav: Dont you worry Di will understand trust me (he looped his arms around her and cuddled her more tightly pulling her to his chest)

They stayed like that for a while feeling comfortable with one another. Anjili was coming out to get water when she saw the two hug each other. She smiled. She got a good feeling from Khushi she could tell her Chottey was in love. Ishaara came from behind and tapped her and said in a soft voice

Ishaara: Dont they just look magical. Made for each other. (she smiled while sighing)

Anjili: Yeah they sure do. This Khushi seems nice, She is so different from the rest of the girls

Ishaara: Believe me Di she is she sure is, Bhai wont admit it but he is so into her

Anjili: But Ish it doesn't look like he doesn't admit it. I think they have confessed the way they are hugging and all

Ishaara: No Di confess is a far far away. Bhai wont even accept that he loves her and he says that if I love her it doesn't matter we can never be together

Anjili: (raised her eye brow) Why would he say that

Ishaara: Its a long story Di

Anjili: I am all ears trust me. I am dying to know tell me

Ishaara: come with me (she took her to the next room and then started to explain the whole story)

Once she was done Anjili was shocked but still she was impressed her. Her respect for Khushi went up more. When she heard how she was standing up to her husband, She smiled at Ishaara and then said.

Anjili: Ish its time we get this story moving lets get these two together.

Ishaara: See Di I know you would love her

Both the sisters started to come up with a plan to get Arnav and Khushi together.

Chapter 11

The food was ready and Khushi started to lay the table. Arnav and Ishara came and sat on the table and then Kushi served the food. Arnav looked at her all lost and confused after his new discovery of his feeling not knwong what to say he was completely blank. Khushi on the other hand was super nervous of what he would think of her food she hoped he would like it, Ishara just watched how the two love birds looked at each other how they tried to steel glances at one another.

As she removed the cloches Arnav saw his favorite dish in front of him Aloo puri. A smile on his have he looked at her wondering how she knew and then Ishaara squealed in excitement 

Ishaara: Yummy Khushi how did you know that Bhaya's favorite dish is Aloo puri 

Khushi: (looked clueless and then said) I didn't know that.. .BUt i like Aloo puri and I was craving for it from a long time so I made it I hope you like it (she spoke softly)

Arnav was surprised at her he smiled at her and then Khushi served some in his plate. He took the first bite and his eyes shut Arnav had passed on to a different world It tasted so good he couldn't understand it was only Aloo puri it tasted the same as always but the fact that she made it with her own hands for him made it feel tasty. Khushi looked at him nervously her heart beating she really hoped he would like it.  He opened his eyes and then saw her looking at him. He became conscious he straightened himself. He said in a husky voice 

Arnav: It tastes good 

Khushi left out a breath and Ishaara giggled at them. She sat and then quietly ate her food. And when they were done she said in a soft voice 

Khsuhi: Arnavji there is some Aloo puri in the fridge for when your other sister comes. she will be coming late na and then she would be hungry so I made some extra (she smiled and then started to walk towards the kitchen with the dirty plates)

Arnav looked at her stunned she actually made extra for his di. That was very thoughtful of her and she was really one in a million he was touched by her actions. Khushi was really something and he was glad that he came across someone like her. His heart swelled and his younger sister could see the dreamy look on his face and she chuckled and then said in a teasing manner 

Ishaara: Bhaya your in love 

Arnav was about to say something to her and she got up and ran before he could react. Maybe his sister was right. Khushi finished cleaning the table and washed the dishes Ishaara and Arnav were just sitting in the hall she had a tray of coffee she came and sat and smiled and said 

Khushi: Would you guys like some coffee

Ishaara: Yes please (she took a cup from the tray)\

Khushi: Arnavji wouldn't you like some coffee 

Ishara: Khushi Bhai only has black coffee 

Khushi: I know thats why I didn't put milk in this one. This is black Arnavji for you and it has the sugar free pills in it as well (she smiled and handed him the mug)

Arnav: (took the mug from her and then asked curiously) How did you know 

Khushi: I see you every evening when we go to the coffee shop You oder for black coffee and tell them to put the sugar free pills in it so I figured I should make that for you (she smiled)

Arnav was now totally touched by her she noticed so much about him maybe Ishaara was right his heart started to pump but his mind told him to control himself 

Ishaara: Wow Khushi you really notice a lot about Bhaya 

Khushi and Arnav both looked at each other embarrassed when Ishaara said that and Naughty Ishaara just sat there and giggled as the two looked really embarrassed at one another.
