Chapter 22 Epilogue

After the grand celebration that the two sisters threw for their brother and his wife. Arnav and Khushi decided to head back to their honeymoon suit the hotel had organized for them. Khushi was dead tired it had been one hell of a long day with so much happening from tackling Kartick and his parents, being free from their clutches to marrying Arnav and receiving gifts. Finally she could breathe. But she had to admit today was one of the best days that she had ever had in her life. As she removed the heavy gold earrings in her ear she looked at the mirror at herself, She looked absolutely divine. Two strong arms wrapped around her waste and she smiled at her husband as she starred at him in through the mirror. He smiled back planting soft kisses on her cheeks that were now pink.

Khushi: Stop it (she blushed)

Arnav: Stop what (she raised his eye brow still planting more kisses)

Khushi: Your embarrassing me

Arnav: (chuckled) I am just trying to love my wife (he said innocently as he smirked with an evil grin)

Khushi turned around and instantly hugged him hiding her face in his strong chest. He wrapped his arms around her cradling her . She shut her eyes tightly it was so warm so soft so fuzzy, she said

Khushi: I love you

Arnav: I love you too

He slowly picked her up in his arms carrying her to the bed and placing her on the soft mattress he climbed on top of her and slowly nudged her nose to his. She shut her eyes and he pulled back looking at her and said

Arnav:  We dont have to do this today, IF your tired we can (he was about to say when she interrupted)

Khushi: No I want to do this. (she wound her arms around him) I want to be yours completely... (she smiled at him as the dark color filled her eyes with passion)

Arnav: (soft tone he said) Are you sure

Khushi: Totally

Arnav didnt need anymore assurance he moved his lips towards hers and lightly placed it on her plump ones. She opened her mouth and let his sharp tongue into her mouth and within no time they were all over each other kissing with all the passion that they had. The night was warm as they heard the waves in the background their room was near the beach. He slowly kissed every portion of her body marking it as his. She was lost in him she surrendered herself to him giving each part of soul. He played with her as she moaned for him. He felt her sweet nectar in his mouth. She moaned for more she moaned his name she moaned he doesnt stop it sounded like this

Khushi: Oh Arnav....

Khushi: Please dont stop....


Khushi: Arnav.... Sweet heart (She yelled.... )

Khushi: I love you  My Husband (she yelled out)

Arnav: (repeated it back in a husky voice) I love you My Wife

They were so into each other, finally when they couldnt wait any longer, he inserted himself into her. She felt the plunge deepen. Holding onto him tightly she cried, He adjusted and when he was set he began the deed to bring them closer to one an othe. Khushi could feel him in her, She felt much stronger, she was completely his....


After a while when they were done they lay cuddled up with each other. she shut her eyes as she rest in him although she was fully awake she just wanted to lay close to him with her eyes shut, feeling his heart  beat.

Arnav: Baby are you awake

Khushi: Hmm

Arnav: What are you thinking

Khushi: Nothing (she snuggled closer)

Arnav: So then why are you so quite (he said confused) Its not like you to be quite

Khushi: I dont want to talk I want to just hear

Arnav: Hear what ??

Khushi: You (she said dreamily)

Arnav: But I am not talking

Khushi: Who said I need you to talk (she nuzzled under his neck)

Arnav: Okay I am really confused I am not talking so what are you hearing

Khushi: (smiled in a drunken state) Your heartbeat (she said softly) Your moist breath (she paused) I like it, it makes me feel so calm and serene

Arnav: (pulling her close) You are so unbelievable just when i think i have figured you all out you spring back with something new (she chuckled)

Khushi:  (laughing back) Hmm well that is good to know

Arnav: hmmm

Khushi: Hey remember when you had that little erection thinking of what it would be like with me. (she lifted to see his face)

Arnav: (feeling awkward)  Yeah

Khushi: So was it as you expected or (she was nervous)

Arnav: It was much more than that (he smirked)

Khushi: (she lay on his chest as he held her) I was worried

Arnav: Hey you shouldnt be I love you the way you are (he stated the fact) BTW now that we are talking about it again I think I am up for round 2 (he raised his eye brow) What say

Khushi: (pressed in his chest) Hmm Okay but this time I wanna come on top of you


Arnav: (chuckled) Can you handle it (he smirked with a naughty glint)

Khushi: Are you challenging me (she said playfully)

Arnav: May be

Khushi: (she said with a winning tone) Your on baby

She removed the blanket and climbed on top of him and the two lovers began their little love making session once again

The golden morning that had just arrived, marking a new beginning for these two lovers life was filled with love and happiness what more could they have asked for. Their love was all that mattered and that vibe was something that they could never loose...

4 years later

Arnav and Khushi permanently moved to goa, both of them wanted to live a slow and peaceful life... They lived in their hotel and had turned into a honeymoon and wedding destination for couples. Arnav would handle the hotel and give enough time to his wife who by the way was pregnant with their first child. Khushi was 4 months pregnant, Arnav had baby proofed their house so it was safe... He was going to be one protective father to their daughter... thats right they were going to have a girl they didnt need a sonography to confirm it they just knew that they were going to have a little girl. Both of them were very happy... Khushi also wanted to do something with her life and so she opened a small boutique for tourist who would come and shop. She was so happy every one raved about her clothes and slowly it established into a big brand. Anjli was also a mother she had twin boys both very naughty. Her husband developed a passion for photography and would spend time removing photographs of his children. Ishara fell in love with Aman the assitant.. It took a while for Arnav to accept that but Khushi convinced him for it he had no choice he had to listen.. Aman and Ishaara live in goa and run a cafe by the beach. They hold music fests to bring in more tourists

Kartick married a rich snobbish girl... She was the daughter of Alliance industries, her father was filthy rich and she is a spoilt brat. He lives in his father-in-laws house as a Ghar Jamai... His wife neena treats him like her dog. He has no reputation. He may be rich but he is not loved he now realizes what Khushi went through and regrets letting her go. He had tried a couple of times to ask for her forgiveness and return, but she dismissed him saying that she had found her sole mate and would not give him up for anything in the world. Ashamed Kartick is now miserable and ill-treated, he got what he deserves. His parents realized what their son was and disowned him from the will, he had ruined their reputation.

As the waves washed over the sand, Arnav looked at his bride with all the love and happiness in his eyes. They were finally married. Khushi felt like she was reborn, there standing right next to her side by side was her husband in true form. She couldnt be more thankful enough life had given her a second chance and she was going to live it to the fullest. As they finished the rituals he held her hand tightly and escorted her down to the rest of the family. Anjili congratulated them Ishara was next Rohit gifted them with some documents

Ishara: Even I have a gift for you Khushi didi

Khushi: You too, Guys this is really not required

Ishara: Oh keep quite (she removed a small black book and handed it to them) This is for you

Arnav opened the book the pages were blank it looked like a photo album

Arnav: Its empty

Ishara: Off course it is. You have to fill it on your honeymoon

Khushi: (Confused) Honeymoon ??

Arnav: We havent planned anything as yet

Ishara: thats why you have me Bhai (she smiled as she removed the tickets and the vouchers) Two business class tickets to the island in the Caribbean (she gave a naughty smile) Enjoy

Khushi: Private islands ??

Ishara: My friend owns one in the Caribbean he was saying that its super romantic and very deserted as well, they have a beach house so I organized your honeymoon there   (she explained)

Arnav: Thank you (she hugged her) Only you could do something like this

Ishara: Your welcome Bhai, Oh there is one more thing

Arnav: and what is that

Ishara took Khushi to the side and whispered in her ear

Ishara: Dont carry any clothes I have already got something planned there (she smiled)

Khushi: OMG your scaring me Ish I hope nothing to fancy (she said softly)

Ishara: Go there and find out, besides i can tell you you wont need clothes anyway (she giggled)

Khushi blushed and Arnav was trying to understand what Ishara was telling her to make her blush so much he was curious so he asked

Arnav: Ok what the hell is going on (he raised his eye brow)

Ishara: Nothing its for us to know and for you to keep guessing (she joked)

Arnav shook his head Khushi continuously blushing, A while later they ate dinner and celebrated in true Raizada style. 

chapter 20

The family was unaware of all that was going on, and the two of them didnt want to tell them either, they didnt wan to spoil the fun. Arnav held on to Khushi tightly she hid herself in his arms and listened to his heart beat that calmed her running senses. After a while of silence she asked him

Khushi: How did you know that something was wrong?

Arnav: I just did (he said looking into her eyes) I could feel that something wasnt right, I came down looking for you, but you werent there and thats why i came out, I could hear some noises and I knew something was not right

Khushi: (let out a small laugh) Our love is so strange, we can feel each others pain and happiness, is this normal ?

Arnav: No its not, But I dont care I like this feeling between us. Its a special feeling its our magic that only we can create (he said with smile pressing her to his chest)

Khushi: (cuddled into him and then said) I am glad I have you

Arnav: (kissing her forehead, he said) And I am glad I have you.

Khushi: Arnavji I want to forget Kartic, lets promise to never talk about this ever again. I want just you. From now on Karticks chapter is forever closed in my life. I want you to make an agreement with his father and mother that they will keep his son away from me

Arnav: Why an agreement Khushi ?? we will just go some where far away

Khushi: No Arnavji I dont want risks. I know Kartick must have realized that there is no way that he can win especially after today but still i want to make sure he is far away from us and our life. I dont want to have anything to do with him. I never want to speak about Kartic ever again.

Arnav: FIne Khushi I understand tomorrow morning these papers will be ready ask Karticks father and mother to come to our room tomorrow, before our marriage we will get this sorted.

She smiled and the two lovers went inside to freshen up.


The next day was the wedding. Arnav walked out in a white kurta he was looking so stunning. He looked smart and crisp in his kurta. Khushi was in her room ready. Aman came to Arnav to inform him about the papers and about Karticks parents waiting outside. He told Aman to get Khushi to the small room where they were waiting.

Anjili: No way you cant be seen by your future husband just as yet.

Khushi: Di its urgent (she said softly)

Anjili: I know whats urgent your dying to see him right

Khushi: (blushed) Di its to do with Kartick

Anjili: (scrunched her eyes) all okay Khushi

Khushi: Yeah its just some unfinished business.

Anjili nodded and Khushi went off. Arnav was waiting outside the room for his bride. She came she looked stunning in the lengha that she was wearing, he clasped her hand in his and then whispered in her ear

Arnav: You look beautiful

Khushi blushed and Aman interrupted them to say they were waiting. Both of them walked into the room Karticks parents looked at the couple Khushi looked like a bride once more. Arnav said

Arnav: Mr and Mrs Kripalani we would like you to see through these papers and sign them

Arnav handed the papers to Anil

Anil: What is this

Khushi: Its an agreement, Sorry Uncle but I dont want my past to hinder my future and present and thats why i want you to sign this. It is a document stating that I no longer have any ties with you and you and your family have nothing to do with me, we have come out of this alliance on mutual terms and we are going our separate ways on mutual consent

Anil: So your actually doing this. you have decided that this is how its going to be. How could you Khushi after all we have done, Your own father isnt accepting this how could you

Arnav was about to answer when she held his hand and began replying to him

Khushi: How could I what uncle, how could i make a decision for myself, is that what your trying to say?

Sheela: What we are trying to say is that what your doing is wrong

Khushi: what I am doing is wrong and what your son did is right ??

Both the parents looked blank

Khushi: was it right for me to be stuck in a loveless marriage?? Do I not have the right to be loved and accepted by my husband. Yesterday your son came by and he was beaten to death by my future husband you know why because he called me an object of desire. According to your son I am an object not a human not a being with feeling but an object that will be used and thrown. do you want me to stay with a man like that, who will use and throw me away.

Sheela: You could have told us we would have fixed everything for you.

Khushi: How many times did i tell you aunty, wasnt the sadness on my face obvious to you, why should i be a part of something that has no bright future for me. I will admit that you and uncle have been very nice to me and have loved me, but that doesnt change the fact what your son did to me was painful and I am only doing what is right.

Anil: by marrying ASR ??

Khushi: yes by marrying Arnavji, we love each other and I dont owe any of you an explanation.  I am not here to discuss this i have made my final choice I am happy with my Arnavji and I love him there is no point arguing on this, as for my parents if they can not see what their daughter is going through then there is nothing i can say, if the society is more important than me then they can go and be happy with what the society says i am done being a part of a world that is governed with rubbish norms. (pausing she said ) please sign the papers and release me from my bond i want to live me life (she smiled at Arnav)

Anil had nothing to say to her any longer he singed the papers and then left from there with his wife and then Arnav said

Arnav: Happy independence day  (he smirked)

Khushi: Oh Arnavji your so cute (she smiled)

Arnav: what its the truth (he laughed) but on a serious note i am proud of you, my kitten or should i say my tigress.

Khushi hugged him tightly the two of them held hands and walked to their wedding where they couldnt wait any longer to become one.

Chapter 19

Anjili and Ishara were all set for the wedding it was a week they spent in Goa the hotel they were staying in had suggested that they hold the ceremony at their beach. SO the wedding was a proper beach wedding, invations were sent out to all the people and the wedding was on a fine saturday morning, in the night there would be a reception and a party and the next day Arnav and Khushi would leave for their honeymoon to Hawaii. Khushi had never been to Hawaii and Arnav had told her that there was a spaa there that did good massages. Khushi just wanted to go some place where she was stress free. She wanted to go to a place where there was only her and Arnav and their love. They needed that, just to be alone with each other. After the whole stress of her parents leaving her and Kartic humiliating, she deserved the break.

Arnav got the divorced papers signed and finally Kartic and she were no longer tied to one another. Anjili had bought Khushi an expensive designer wedding outfit, It was beautiful pink and red outfit with beads all over. There was alot of hustle bustle the guests had started to arrive in and Arnav started to introduce Khushi to every one, She was happy to meet everyone and seemed to get along well. Nani came in too she, Khushi was scared that she may disapprove but she didnt. She said that she could see happiness reflecting in Arnav's eyes and thats all she wanted. Things were going smooth as ever.

Today was the mehindi night Khushi had mehindi all over both her hands. It was beautiful on the side she had Arnav's name engraved in it. Every one was teasing her with Arnav and she was blushing and blushing away.

Ishaara: So now I guess I can call u bhabhi (she smiled)

Khsuhi: (Khushi blushed) Yeah I guess you can... But you know Ishaara i would like it if u called me Di too, I will always take you to be my younger sister.

Ishaara hugged Khushi and smiled and thanked her and then Anjili said

Anjili: Well isnt my chottey lucky, he has you, really khushi I have a good feeling about your future life with him.

Khushi: Thank you so much Di (she hugged her) I am glad and thankful to Devi Maya that she sent Arnavji for me, I really love him

Ishaara: Yeah we know we can see it in your eyes, and also your cheeks turn red when we mention his name (she giggled)

And then again Khsuhi's face turned scarlet. Anjlili and the other girls laughed and laughed.

The mehendi went off smoothly she was so happy, Khushi could almost feel the stars with all the happiness and love that fluttered around her. It felt like she had the world. Devi Maya had indeed blessed her with all the happiness. Some part of her was still sad that her parents didn't agree to her decision, but she knew her heart of hearts that what she was doing was the right thing. She was taking a stand for herself and it was for the betterment of her life and she knew that Arnav was made for her. She was certain that this was all her Maya's plan to get her to this, it was all a test and a learning lesson. Love never comes easy, She got up from her seat to go outside she wanted a few moments to herself to feel the fresh air on her face and the wind in her hair. The happiness in her life, so with out telling anyone she left for outside, she knew that they were to busy dancing and celebrating the men were up stairs playing cards and drinking. They werent allowed down not that they didnt try they did but Anjili shooed them off.

As she reached out she saw the majestic dark blue sky filled with stars. It was a lovely night the waves curled across the soft sand. She had the most radiant smile on her face. The wind blew in giving her a rush of feelings. She was thanking the gods for what they gave her and when she was done she was about to go in when suddenly her path was blocked with the devil.

It was Kartick he had an evil grin on his face. The grin widened and Khushi looked at him with confusion as to what he wanted now from her.

Kartick: Hello Khushi

Khushi: (angry) what do you want

Kartick: You didnt think I would let you off easily did you.

Khushi: (confused) What do you mean

Kartic held her hand and dragged her and the back, she struggled trying to let go, he didnt let her. Khushi was shouting and shouting away and thats when he said

Kartic: Screaming wont get you anywhere the music is too loud they cant hear you they are busy going drunk and dancing

Khushi: (angry) let go off me, If Arnav finds out he will kill you

Kartic: You mean if he finds out

Khushi: He will (she said with a rude tone)

Kartic: Khushi after what happens today he what no other man will accept you. (he threw her down)

Khushi hurt her elbow as she fell across the grey rocky surface. But still she didnt look week she looked into his eyes and then said with all her courage

Khushi: Arnav is going to kill you. He wont let even a scratch come on me. You will pay for this

Kartic: (gave a hollow laugh and said) Huh you think he loves you. He doesnt love you, nobody can ever love you. Your a middle class filth thats what you are. He is only with you because he knows he can take advantage of you innocences Khushi he will use you and throw you just like I did

Khushi: (got up from the floor and slapped him hard across his face) How dare you talk such rubbish My Arnavji is not like that, Not every one is like you. Arnav will do no such thing, If you think I will fall into your trap then your wrong (she shouted to defend the man she loved)

Kartic: FIne suit yourself believe what you have to, it doesnt matter to me, I am still not going to let you go so easily. You will pay for insulting me like this. No one gets off easily like this.

He pressed her to the wall. She moved her face struggling to get him off. He tried to launch himself on her she pushed him off with all her might and he fell. She tried to run but he pulled her back pinning her back to the wall he said

Kartick: YOu wont get away Khushi

She shut her eyes tight clenching her fists crying away. He tried to launch his lips on her creamy skin but as he was about to touch her soft surface he was pulled back by the collar and within a spur of a moment he felt a hard punch on his face and he fell back on the floor. Khushi opened her eyes and looked around and she was on in relief to see Arnav standing right there and Kartic on the floor.

She didnt waste a second she ran behind him holding him with all her strength, he knew she was scared and clutched her as well. Kartic got up once more and tried to drag khushi out of Arnav's arms she was a rope of Tug of war between the two one pulling her from one end and the other from the other side. She was in pain, unable to see that Arnav in one swift moment held her and swept her to his side and she hid behind him. Kartic was in shock.

Arnav held Kartic by the collar and yelled in his true ASR tone

Arnav: How dare you (his voice thundered)

Kartick struggled to get out of his hold. Arnav left him and then began punching him left right and center, Kartic fought back, but was no match for Arnav who had unleashed his inner beast. Kartic was black and blue all over.

Kartick: By hitting me it wont change the fact, Your going to do exactly what I did to Khushi ASR (he smiled, taunting him) Use and throw her, she is not some one to love her class, she doesnt deserve it she is just an object of desire. once the desire is over the object can be discarded (he said taunting)

Arnav punched him once more, his temper rose to the fullest he kept hitting Kartick, when Khushi came and held his hand. Kartick smiled back at Arnav and Khushi with bleeding teeth. No shame on his face he looked straight at them and then Khushi said

Khushi: let him Go

Arnav: (Shocked) What, Khushi he is talking rubbish how can I let him go

Khushi: He is not worth it, why are you wasting you energy on him (she explained)

Arnav: (angry) I can not stand him talking about you like this, I will kill him (he was about to hit him when she held his hand)

Khushi: Arnavji Stop it, dont you see this is what he wants, he wants to see us hurt and angry he wants to see us break and crumble. (she said) look at him look at that smug smile on his  face. he is enjoying this he wants to see you fight. He wants to make me feel as if I am a no body and by fighting him we are proving him right. I dont care what he says and what he doesnt. I care what you think of me. I know you love me and I love you. That is the truth and we will not let any Kartic or anybody come in between our relationship. Our love is pure and strong and I trust you with all my heart and sole.

She held on to Arnav and hugged him tightly, Arnav looked once more and him and then shut his eyes and took a deep breath and then said.

Arnav: forget it lets get out of here, Your right we are beyond this filth.

Kartick lay there on the floor hurt and swollen with yet another plan of his failed. there is one thing he realized today and that is that Khushi knew him way to well. She was aware of all his moves and it seemed like penetrating through Arnav and Khushi's relationship was impossible accepting defeat he had no choice but to let go.

Chapter 18

The family decided to leave the two lovers alone they had been through so much. They needed time to just relax a bit and take it all in. Ishaara suggested they go swimming as the weather was pretty awesome as well. SO 4 of them left Arnav and Khushi alone for a while. Arnav was just making a few phone calls to the lawyers while Khushi set off of for a warm steaming bath which was much required. She filled the bath tub which was filled with bubbles and foam, She got in and just set off to relax gave her time to think it all through. On one end she was sad that her father did not stand by her and she faired to understand why, He was always the one to understand her and stand by her. So what made him so cold today that he could not take her side she wondered. But then the other thought that struck her was how Arnav stood up for her. An instant smile came to her face as she thought of how he just declared that he would marry her and make her his wife. She giggled like a school girl. This was the best thing that has ever happen to her. Arnav is such a Prince Charming she thought to herself, She was thrilled and excited for the rest of her life. Arnav had really made her forget about it all. All she wanted was to just be in his warm soft protective arms and just lye there for the rest of eternity.

Meanwhile Arnav finished talking to the lawyers. The divorce papers were in process and things were coming to place. He was sipping on his daily scotch going back to the event thinking of what happened and he had to admit Khushi really out did herself. She was brilliant the way she put her foot down with Kartick. He was mighty impressed with that to see the confidence in her that she had. A smirk came to his face as he thought "Man man my girl is hot when she fights" He wondered what that kitten of his would do in bed. The very thought brought him to an arousal and he looked down to see his manhood jutting up. He said out aloud in excitement

Arnav: Khushi what have you done to me

KHushi: What have I done to you Arnavji

She came out from behind in a red laced robe her hear was all bunched up and she came and sat on the railing of the chair that he was sitting. Khushi finished her bath and got ready she was coming to ask Arnav if he wanted some breakfast but then she heard him say something and asked him. Arnav looked at her very baffled as she took him by surprise. She looked back at him with lot of questions.

Arnav: (Hesitating and embarrassed) Uh Nothing what will you do to me.. (changing the topic he said) How are you feeling my love

Khushi slurped down the railing and came onto his lap. Which made it more difficult to hold on to his arousal. She placed her perfectly round bum on his crouch and made herself comfortable on his lap. Arnav put his arm around her waist. She bit back into him and rested her back on his chest and as she moved he was loosing his control. Khushi looked at Arnav's hand he was stiff why was he so stiff she wondered did he not want her to sit on his lap. Why was she so strange. Suddenly she felt something underneath her poke her bum. Her eyes widened was that his...

She got up from his lap and looked at him wide eyed. Arnav was really embarrassed. There was awkward silence for a moment. Khushi's eyes turned to his crouch and she could see it jutting out. She said extremely shocked

Khushi: Are you. having and erection

Arnav: (embarrassed) Uh... Uh... Khushi I Uh I can explain

Khushi: (folding her arms she looked at him and said with all ears) I am listening

Arnav: (got up made her sit down on the chair and then knelt down and said) Khushi I swear I wasn't thinking about any one but you...

Khushi: (shocked) Me !!!

Arnav: (smirking he said) Off corse I am marrying you so I would think of you only right... Your my wife

Khushi: Hmm right... But Arnavji (she questioned)

Arnav: Well it started off with you being all feisty with Kartick. The way you took him down. Then it came to you getting drunk and how wild you get. So my mid automatically drifted off to thinking that if your wild and feisty what it was going to be like in bed with you and that lead to this

He said in one go not realizing he spilt the whole thing out, then he looked up at Khushi who looked so surprised at him until she hurts out laughing. Arnav was shocking hearing her laugh

Khushi: (kissed his nose and then said in her cute voice) Oh Arnavji You are such a sweet heart.

Arnav: What the!!

Khushi: (made him stand up and stood up with him and then hugged him) Arnavji I love you so much... DO you know how cute you are right now (she climbed onto the couch to reach his height and then started to kiss him all over)

Arnav: Khushi (he said in a husky voice)

Khushi: DO you know how much I love you. (Then she said very cutely) I never knew I had such an effect on you (she said still standing on the couch with her hands wrapped around his neck she pouted her lips)

Arnav: (he snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, He pecked her lips and then said) Believe me this is nothing, I am so effected by you

Khsuhi blushed he picked her up and then brought her down the couch and they sat in each others arms cuddling and then she said.

Khushi: Thank you

Arnav: FOr what

Khushi: For standing by me, protecting me and loving me

Arnav: I should be thanking you for making my life so changed and so entertaining... I am glad I rescued you from that shit whole

Khushi: (chuckled) And I am glad to be rescued

They both started to laugh. Their morning went by giggling away and planning out their wedding. They decided to have a beach wedding the beach meant a lot to them especially because they met on the beach for the first time. Life had just gotten so exciting

Chapter 17

Sunlight spread into the room and a sleepy Khushi started to rub her eyes. She had no clue where she was but she could feel a tight hold on her waist and turning around she saw Arnav. He looked adorable his hair was messy he was fast asleep. He had his mouth a bit open. She chuckled a bit looking at him and kissed his nose and said cutely

Khushi: I love you Arnavji

Arnav: (with his eyes still shut he said) I love you too

Khushi: (Shocked she said) Your awake

Arnav: Yeah I am (he said opening his eyes) How are you feeling

Khushi: (cribbing she said) My head hurts

Arnav: (chuckling he said) Thats called a hang over

Khushi (rolled her eyes but was quick to say) But there is something else that I feel

Arnav: (raising his eyes brows he said) And whats that

Khushi: (smiling) loved... (she said blushing) DO you know how happy I am to feel loved and taken care off.. Oh Arnavji is this real

Arnav: (smirking he said) Its real Khushi... (he paused and said) I love you and I will always love you. (saying that he kissed her fore head)

They were in a moment when they heard a knock on the door. Ishaara opened the door seeing both of them cuddled she said in a very scared voice

Ishaara: I dont mean to disturb you two but there is a very angry old man outside and along with him is your ex husband Kartick

Khushi and Arnav looked at each other and then. Arnav signaled Ishaara to say that they were coming. Khushi started to get worried and scared. She was about to cry when Arnav gave her the confidence that every thing will be fine. He is with her till the end. She took a deep breath and both of them went down. Arnav had firmly held her hand while they walked down the steps. Khushi saw her parents her in laws and Kartick. Anjili Ishaara Ritesh and Rohit were standing there for support.

Khushi: Babuji (she softly still holding Arnavs hand)

Kartick: See Babuji I told you this is what she is up to, you refused to believe me. (he spit out in anger)

Khushi looked at her father who looked down not knowing what to say. Her mother was crying and her father in law looked at her firmly

Anil: Khushi I did not expect this from you what is the meaning of all this

Kartic: I will tell you dad. She has cheated us and ran away with her boyfriend

Anil: (Angry he said) Kartic I wan to hear from Khushi's explanation.. Tell me Khushi what is all this. Did we do anything wrong? Did we not rest you right or give you the place and respect of a daughter in law?

Khushi: You did. But he didn't (she pointed at Kartic who looked back at her shocked)

Sheela: What do you mean

Khushi: You know exactly what I mean Ma. Your son never gave me the importance love or respect that a wife needs and today he is here pointing fingers at me for what I dont understand. (she said angry, turning to Kartic she said) You never loved me. You didn't even attempt to look at me or give me a chance. You treated me like i was a slave or a nobody. You made me feel as if its all my fault that this marriage is not working, because i come from a middle class family. (she looked at him hurtfully)

Kartick: I would have loved you had you not gone to him. You should have known you limits

Khushi:  How dare you. You out of all the people your talking about limits. You never were in your limit you think i dont know about the multiple affairs you have had after our marriage. (she said the truth) You think i dont know how you plan to get the divorce and marry one of those slutty rich women. You never tried. You never even made the effort so dont make up this nonsense. As far as Arnavji is concerned. I will not hear a word against him. Understand (she yelled at the top of his voice)

Arnav tried to calm her down. He held her shoulders and rubbed her back. To calm her down. He knew he needed her to talk it all out so that she feels better.

Kartick: I can't belive it what has this man done to you that you are behaving like this. You can't hear a word against him. Why is he so special to you. Just because he is rich and has money. I should have known this middle class behavior. Your a gold digger (he said yelling accusing Khushi)

And that was it for Arnav he was now boiling like hot water. He was quick to tell Kartick

Arnav: Gold digger your the one to talk. Aren't you the same guy who came to me for help with that silly business of yours. You think I dont know how you have been lurking around AR Designs desperately to get us to work with you. I have observed you. But thats not the point. Let me ask you Kartick how does it feel to see Khushi like this. To see her happy with some one else. Did you ever expect her to be like this?? (he questioned Kartick)

Kartick looked confused not knowing what to say. Arnav continued

Arnav: The truth is that you could accuse Khushi as much as you like but it wont change. You always doubted her capabilities. You never understood what she was really made up off or what she wanted out off life. The truth is that Khushi was miserable when she was with you because you had ego and doubt on her. She was so messed up when I met her first. The truth is that I gave her the support and love that she needed. I helped her out of this shit whole you put her in, She was the most under confident person I had ever met and when she started to loosen up I saw the real her. The truth is that  I would not trade a girl like Khushi for anything in this world.

Kartick and the rest of the people stood there stunned after listening what Arnav had to say and no one said a word. Until Khushi broke the silence and said

Khushi: Babuji Amma I know that this is not what you taught me and raised me to do. But I can't help it. I want a way out of this marriage I know that I would be miserable with that man (she gave Kartick a dirty look) And I dont want to be so miserable I want to be happy Babuji please understand. I just want a man who will love me for me and not because they have to. I want a man who makes me feel as if I am the most beautiful girl in the world. Who will always stand by and support my dreams and protect me. And Arnavji is every thing that I have ever wanted. Please Babuji accept this decision of mine (she said in a crying manner)

Shashi: looked up at his daughter who was hopeful he would understand.) Khushi tell me something, WHat will we answer the world when they know about all this. We are small middle class people what will we tell them that our daughter divorced because she had an affair with another man. (he asked his daughter) WHat will we answer

Arnav: You dont have to answer anything because I wont give any one a chance to talk about it. (He said with certainty)

Garima: Huh its easy for you to say. You will get away scott free but its us who have to answer to every one. (she turned to Khsuhi said said) Khushi Kartick may treat you good or bad but you have to accept that he is your husband. That is your house. There is no way you can come back home to us. (she spoke with firmness)

Khushi: Amma try to understand please I love Arnavji he is a good man he will take care of me (she pleaded with her parents to understand while Kartick looked over her with a smug face)

Garima was about to slap her when Arnav caught hold of her hand and stopped her. Khushi couldn't stop crying. She went to her father hoping for some closure.

Shashi: Khuhsi do you think this man will keep you happy. He barely knows you. Tell me will he marry you and make you his for the rest of his life. Will he give you his name ?

Khushi looked at her father static because she didn't know what to answer. Arnav came forward and placed his hand on her shoulder. He looked at Shashi and said

Arnav: Yes I will marry her. Yes I will make her mine Yes I will give her my name, Yes I will be her husband and make her my wife (he answered all his questions)

Khushi: Arnavji  but you dont believe in marriage (she was speechless)

Arnav: (He softened at her and took her hand in his and said) I love you Khushi and I never believed in marriage because I never found that person who i could think of spending my life with. But now I have and if I have to marry you to be with you then I will. (he caressed her face) I would circle the world for you.

Khushi hugged Arnav and then Arnav went to Shashi and said

Arnav: KHushi is well taken care off uncle all we need is your blessings

Garima: You have said all this but what about your family will they accept her.

Anjili and Ishaara came forward and hugged him and Khushi and Anjili said. 

Anjili: Yes we will accept Khushi. We love Khushi and we think she is perfect for our brother. Uncle Aunty my brother will always take good care of Khushi and you need not worry about the family we all love her and we have already accepted her as part of the family. (she said with assurance)

Khushi: Babuji please try and understand. (she said placing her hand on his) Trust me we wont regret this I promise. 

Shashi: (took a deep breath and moved her hands off his and said) Khushi I am sorry I dont think we can just let this go easily. Your mother and I were hopeful that you will agree with us and come back to Kartick. But you refuse to listen. I know Arnav loves you a lot but this is not how the society works we have answers to give to every one. (He paused and then said) If you want to go this man and get divorced then you are most welcomed to its your life. But remember if you do then dont bother having contact with us. 

Khushi looked at her father shocked and so was Arnav neither of them expected this to happen. Kartick gave out an evil smirk. He thought that now Khushi would come back to him because she would not ever break ties with her father. He knew he had her back on hold. 

Khushi: (in a sad voice she said) Babuji I hoped you would understand me I really did. But if you can't understand your daughters wishes then there is nothing more I would have to say or do. (she looked at her father in the eye and then said) There is no way that I am going back to Kartick. I refuse to live like his slave. I want share my life with some one who loves me for me and not because of my status or class and if you can't come to terms with it then so be it. (she said with a heavy heart)

Shashi was shocked and so was Kartick. Neither of them expected Khushi to say something like this. Shashi was hurt with his daughter for not listening to him. Khushi was hurt as well. But she knew that what she was doing was right., If she didn't do it now she would always be stuck for ever. Arnav  turned to Kartick and then said in a stone cold voice. 

Arnav: My lawyer will come with the divorce papers on Monday morning. We dont want anything from you but Khushi's freedom. 

Shashi and Garima left from there and Kartick just nodded and walked off as well. Khushi stood there crying but Arnav caught hold off her and said to her 

Arnav: I am with you. Dont your worry Khushi. I will always be with you. (he said taking her into her arms)

Khushi: (hugged him back and then said) Do you think I did the right thing 

Arnav: (kissing her forehead he said) Yes you did and I am proud of you for standing up for yourself. 

She hugged him back. Anjili Ishaara and Ritesh came in front and hugged them and congratulated them and then Ishaara said 

Ishaara: SO now I guess I can start calling you bhabhi (she chuckled)

Arnav and Anjili chuckled and then Khushi said 

Khushi: Not bhabi but Didi (she smiled and then said) Your like my younger sister 

Ishaara: (playfully she said) Done 

Laughter filled the place and then Ritesh said 

Ritesh: Now that we have an additional member in the family this calls for a celebration. 

Rohit: Yes it does (he smiled) ASR I would like to throw a party for you and Khushi if thats ok 

Arnav: Thanks Rohit that is really sweet (he smiled) 

Ishaara: How exciting didi your so going drunk tonight (she said excited)

Arnav: OMG then in that case I better be prepared... The tigress in her is going to come back out 

Khushi: (she shrieked banging his chest she said) Arnavji 

They all started to laugh and even though she was feeling bad about her parents she still she enjoyed because she was happy to be there with her Arnavji 

Chapter 16

They broke the hug when they heard Anjili Ishaara and Rohit came down. Arnav wiped her tears and then said to her in his husky voice

Arnav: Just forget about tomorrow... For now just enjoy yourself and have fun... We have to rock the night and get you drunk (he said winking)

Khsuhi: (chuckled and then said) BTW Arnavji you didn't even see what I am wearing (she said in a pouting cute manner)

Arnav: (smirked) I saw the dress the second I walked into your room (he chuckled) And you look very pretty.... (he said in a cute tone) red is my favorite color and I like it when a girl wears red

Khushi: (blushed furiously and then said in a soft tone) Any girl or just one girl

Arnav: (raised his eye brows and smirked, coming close to her he said in a whisper) Just one girl

She blushed even more at that and they intensely looked at each other completely into each other when suddenly Ishaara walked in and said in a bubbly voice

Ishaara: Are you two ready

They both snapped out of it and then Arnav said

Arnav: Yeah we are

They left the hotel and to go the the beach.... Khushi once again forgot about her problems and Arnav tried not to remind her... He kept trying to keep the topic far away so she doesn't get sad again.. There is one thing he couldn't stand and that was seeing her eyes with tears...

The night was vibrant and fun. They partied and had a blast. Anjili and the gang gave Arnav and Khushi space so they could spend time together. Arnav whisked Khushi away from the party for a while. She was so drunk she couldn't even stand she was babbling all sorts of things. The little Kitten was back into a tiger again. Arnav  took her to the other side of the beach and made her sit on the white soft sand a bit away from the sea. He wrapped his jacket around her so she was warm and she rested her head on his chest feeling nice and warm as he draped his arms around her. They enjoyed the quite peace and sanity around them. The night was serene and innocent and waiting to be explored.

Khushi: Arnavji remember when I first met you

Arnav: Hmm (he said in a dreamy voice) You got scared and ran away

Khushi: I did not run away (she said cutely) I just wondered who you were and why were you talking to me when i didn't know you

Arnav: Thats called being scared... You got nervous

Khushi: (hitting him she said) Ok whatever.. but you know something i found you good looking.

Arnav: You did??

Khushi: Yeah I always have you know something you turn me on when you wear that white shirt and low waisted jeans. Arnavji... (she said blushing)

Arnav: (chuckled) Your so adorable (he smirked as he placed a kiss on her forehead)

Khushi could feel his heart beat faster as she rested her head on his chest. She shut her eyes getting lost in the beating sound as it synchronized with hers in perfect unison

Khushi: Arnavji your heart is beating so fast (she looked up at him and then took his hand in hers and placed it on her heart.) Just like mine

Arnav could feel her heart beat and it was the same as his. He looked up at Khushi who had the most dreamy eyes and cute little pout on her face he couldn't hold it any longer in him. Hr had to let it out. He took a deep breath and then said in a soft husky voice as he put her lock on hair behind her ear he caressed her cheeks and said.

Arnav: Khushi

Khushi: Arnavji

They both started to breath loud Arnav's face started to near hers slowly as slowly his lips closer to hers she could feel his breath fan across her face and she loved it. Slowly coming closer and closer his lips placed on her plump ones. They touched for the first time. Khushi shut her eyes and slowly opened her mouth. He sucked on her lip letting his tongue into her mouth. They could feel each other. She slowly snaked her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her. He twirled his tongue with hers. He could smell that amazing jasmine smell that turned him on even more. As they kissed he slowly laid her down on the soft white sand and came over her. They separated and he went down and started o kiss her neck. She shut her eyes and wrapped her hands around him enjoying the feeling of his lips on her neck. It felt peaceful and very nice. They were breathing heavily he could feel her hands enclosing him tighter and that is when realization dawned on him. That is when he stopped looked up at her. Her eyes were shut she was still in that trance. She looked so ready for him. But he just couldn't. He needed her to be sure of what she was doing. He didn't want her to think that it was a mistake.

She opened her eyes and looked up at him confused as to why he wasn't continuing she was enjoying it and loving it. She wanted him to show her his feelings and when he stopped she was baffled and so confused.

Khushi: (softly) Arnavji

Arnav loosened himself from her arms and got up and walked away to the other corner turning his back to her he took a deep breath hoping that she doesn't regret it or she walks away. He couldn't get himself to see that. So he started to talk slowly hoping she was still there

Arnav: I dont know if you still here or you ran away because you were scared. But I have something to tell you

Khushi got up and ran towards him hugging his back. Taking him by surprise he didn't expect her to do that. But when he felt her tiny paws on his chest and her head rested to his back he was taken by surprise. She said in a soft voice

Khushi: I am here I haven't gone anyway Arnavji. (she said in a shy voice)

He placed his hands in hers and turned around looking at her. Her eyes were bright and looked full of love and innocence. Khushi took his hands in hers and said softly

Khushi: I will never go away anywhere. I can't stay away from you. YOu are my magnet where ever you go I am attracted to you. (she said with a blush)

Arnav: Khsuhi please i dont want you to do this just because your carried away

Khushi: I am not carried away (she said honestly)

Arnav: (holding her shoulders he said) But your drunk

Khushi: Yeah I am but that does not mean I am carried away.. (she looked up at him and then caressed his face with her soft hands) I am not going to regret it Arnavji I am here with you tell me what you have to say.

Arnav: (sighing he said) Khushi I....I (hesitating he said) Khushi its not so easy i have never done this before

Khushi: (smiled at him innocently and said) Arnavji there is always a first time to everything you told me that remember, (she said cheekily, then she took his hand placed it on her heart and said sweetly) Now tell me what you have to say

Arnav: (could feel her heart beat and it made him feel better and a bit more confident and alive.. he took a deep breath and then said softly) Khushi I love you... (he said it in one go he could instantly feel himself get lighter)

Khushi smiled as he confessed his feelings and with out giving him even a second to breath she just flung herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. He smiled when she hugged him and then said with a smirk

Arnav: So I take it you love me too (he said in a naughty tone)

Khushi: (looked up pouting cutely and slapping his chest she said) Off course I love you. I have always loved you. I was attracted to you when i saw you the first time and yes i was scared because i was not use to all these feelings. I fell for you when we spent days together shopping and talking. I got deeply in love with you when you protected me and helped me with Kartick. Arnavji I LOVE YOU TOO.

Arnav: (chuckled) Come here you (he pulled her into a warm hug)

The two lovers were in eternal bliss as they embraced each other accepting and confessing their love for each other. There was magic in the air. Although Khushi was still very drunk. She knew exactly what was happening and she was enjoying every bit off it. She popped her head out off his chest and then said

Khushi: Arnavji kiss me

Arnav: (chuckled) What the!!

Khushi: No Kiss me right now (she said pouting) I want to feel that happiness with you (she said with a smile)

Arnav: You are drunk (he pinched her red nose)

Khushi: How is that got to do anything with the kiss (she pouted her lips)

Arnav: (pecked her lips and said) Are you happy

Khushi: No thats not the kiss I want

Arnav: (smirked) My love I know what you  want but i want our kiss to be special and i want to do it when u are sane and not insane.. We need to go back to the hotel

Khushi: What the !!

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Thats my line (he hit her shoulder)

Khushi: So what !! I am your love na so i can use it

Arnav: (chuckled) How do you manage to be so cute

Khushi: (shrugged) I dont know

Arnav: (picking her up he said) Come on princess you better go to bed

He took her back to the hotel and put her to bed. She refused to let him go. She held his hand tightly feeling safe. Arnav cuddled her up and fell asleep there. That night both the lovers were the most happiest people in the world. Neither of them could ask for more. All they wanted was each other.

Chapter 15

They went around Goa all day... First to a small cafe for breakfast then a little bit of shopping lunch some more shopping and then lastly they went for coffee... All of then enjoyed them self and Khushi forgot completely about all her problems about Kartick about what was going to happen she was just free and alive... Anjili and Ishaara were getting fond of her and slowly they included Rohit in the plan as well. Arnav was more than happy to see his two sister get along with the love of his life. Although he knew this wouldn't last he had no idea what Khushi would say or do if she knew how he felt about her. He didn't want to ruin it between them so the fear was always there but for a short period he too forgot and started to enjoy himself... With Khush around the place how could anyone not have fun. He chuckled as he though to himself

They were back in the hotel room and were getting ready for the party when Khushi decided to try to get close to Arnav now that she knew that he loved her too and discovering these new feelings.. She wanted to wear what he picked for her for tonights party. She took two of her dresses on a hanger and walked up his room on the way she bumped into Anjili who asked her sweetly

Anjili: Khushi where are you going with those dresses in your hand (she asked in a naughty tone)

Khushi: Woh Anjiliji I can't decide which one to wear

Anjili: Oh let me see (she said looking at the dresses) The black one shows that you are a smart available woman and are looking to have so casual fun.. but the red one looks bright and pretty also makes you look like you want to fall in love or attract the right person

Khushi looked at her blank and then Anjili said in a teasing tone

Anjili: If i were you I would wear the red one because red is some ones favorite color (she winked smirked and then hinted towards Arnav)

Khushi: (Blushing she knew Anjili was talking about Arnav she said in a soft tone) Yeah i think the red would look better thanks Di (she smiled and ran away before Anjili could capture her expressions)

Anjili chuckled at how cute she was.... and then went up to tell the incident to Rohit and Ishaara

Meanwhile Kartick was mad and mad as hell he couldn't take it any longer. Khushi was driving him crazy. He wasn't getting a chance to talk to her at all. Everytime he tried she was surrounded with people and whats worse is that Arnav Singh Raizada stood always around her to protect her like a watch dog.. He banged his fists on the table enough was enough he though tho himself picking up his mobile he dialed a number and started to speak

Kartic: Things are getting out of control I think you and Khushi's parents need to come here and sort things out.. I will not be insulted like this she is my wife she can't do this to me... I am booking a flight for tomorrow morning see you soon

Saying that he cut the call Khushi was going to have to live the way he wanted her to and if she didn't then he promised himself he would turn even one against her and make her pay for crossing paths with him.... Kartick was on total bitch mode and out to get Khushi

Khushi on the other hand couldn't care less off what was happening she was just too happy to be bothered about what was going on. She hadnt looked at her phone for days and when she spotted it on the table she decided to switch it back on and to her surprise she saw 45 messages all from her dad. She read messages and all said "Call me urgent"

She wondered what would have happened and then quickly made a quick call to her dad hoping everything was all well. He picked up and Khush spoke

Khushi: Babuji is everything ok

Shashi: Where are you (he asks din a worried tone)

Khushi: In Goa why what happened everything ok (she said confused)

Shashi: Is it true... (he asked her softly)

Khushi: What is true (she asked getting more confused)

Shashi: That you are not with Kartick and with another man

Khushi: (shocked how he knows paused and then said softly) Yes it is....

Shashi: (angry he said) This is not what I raised you to be... How could you do this to us

Khushi: I did nothing wrong (she defended herself)

Shashi: Khushi your mother and I are coming to Goa tomorrow morning  along with Kartick's parents

Khushi: Babuji come along with the divorce papers because there is nothing left to work in this marriage (she said sternly) Kartick and I are done with each other

Shashi: (Shouting) What is wrong with you...How can you say that Khushi dont do this to your mother and me we wont know how to show our faces in the society

Khushi: (crying) I am sorry babuji I can't do it any longer I wish I could but not any more when u come tomorrow i will tell you what the truth is....

Saying that she cut the phone and then went off to wipe her tears... Arnav knocked on her door, He wanted to ask if she was ready or not...

Arnav: Khushi are you ready

Khushi: Yeah Arnavji one minute (she wiped her tears and then opened the door)

Arnav saw the sadness on her face he came into the room and then asked her softly

Arnav: Hey ard you ok

Khushi nodded and then hugged him instantly he twined his arms around her and took her into a protective hug she cried on his chest and then he said in an angry tone

Arnav: Did Kartick do anything

Khushi: (nodded) My dad knows about the truth about me leaving Kartick. I spoke to him just now

Arnav: But how

Khushi: Kartick called them up and told them and then blamed it on me saying that I am with some one else (she said softly) They are angry with me they dont know what the real truth behind me taking this move is...

Arnav: (hugging her tighter he said) Shhhhs Dont worry (he rubbed her back) We will figure it out I promise

Khushi: (nodded) Arnavji My parents are coming tomorrow with Kartick's parents to talk about resolving the matter.. today for the first time I have spoken badly to Babuji because he couldn't understand what the truth is. I asked him to get the divorce papers along with him and he shouted at me (she cried) I feel bad Arnavji

Arnav: Khushi your not wrong (he wiped her tears) Standing up for yourself is not wrong but the right thing to do... And I am proud of you for doing that... DOnt worry Khushi your father will understand as time passes by (he kissed her fore head)

Khushi: (nodded and then said softly) You will be with me tomorrow right... I dont think i can face them alone

Arnav: (giving her assurance he said) I will be with you all the way and I will never let anything happen to you (he said looking into her eyes their hearts thumped as they spoke) I promise you Khushi I will not let any one or anything harm you

Khushi: (smiled and then said) Thats all I needed to hear... (saying that she hugged him tightly)

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. 

Chapter 10

When they finished hanging out at the beach they returned back to the villa Ishaara knew that Khushi was staying with them but she had no idea why. She didnt seem to care she took this as a good excuse for her brother to spend some time with her. Arnav had just finished making his usual phone calls and had sent a hotel car to the airport for his other sister Anjili and brother in law Ritesh.  When he saw the two girls walking into the room laughing and giggling he was confused. He asked

Arnav: where have you two been

Ishaara: At the beach OMG Bhaya Khushi is so cute (she smiled and laughed)

Khushi: (slapping her playfully said) Your crazy

Arnav: (confused said) Ok (then he looked at Khushi and said) Your in a salwar (he raised his eye brows)

Khushi: Yeah I just felt like it

Arnav: It suits you (he said with a smirk)

Khushi instantly smiled and blushed and Ishaara was quick to notice and she even saw her brothers expressions who seemed to be totally smitten by Khushi there was something going on and Ishaara's heart could feel it she giggled a bit both looked at her confused and then she made some excuse and left the room. Khushi said that she was going to freshen up Arnav just blankly nodded.

Ishaara ran into her room and went inside she jumped on the bed and then started to sing a bit in excitement chanting away that she could feel the love between them. She smiled and then decided it was time to confront her brother. Oh the goose bumps on her arms she rubbed them off and then went to her brother who was sipping on his whisky looking out at the evening sky. She came and sat next to him

Ishaara: Bhaya

Arnav: Hey baby what up (he greeted his sister)

Ishaara: nothing much where is Khushi

Arnav: Gone for a bath

Ishaara: She is so nice Bhaya (she started to take the topic out) How do you know her

Arnav: (hesitated) Uh actually I just met her on the beach and we started to talk (he said casually)

Ishaara: (shocked) You spoke to a random person on the beach (she raised her eye brows) How is that possible you dont even talk to the people we know so much so how did you start talking to her

Arnav: Well uh I dont know there is something about her (he explained a small smirk on his face) You know the day I met her she stood out the most amongst all girls she was sitting on the beach in her salwar all lost (he remembered) I still remember she looked so beautiful sitting there her hair was flying in the wind and she was in deep thought (he said as his heart started to beat)

Ishaara: (smiled and then asked) Then what happened

Arnav: Nothing what happened she caught my attention I went and spoke to her she ran away

Ishaara: (shocked) Ran away. That's weird I thought all the girls dye to talk to you

Arnav: (chcukled) well yeah Khushi is not like that She is different the first day she got so scared in facy she never even knew who I was.

Ishaara: Really

Arnav: Oh yeah but then we started to get close and then she told me about herself and stuff (he looked at Ishaara) She is a really nice girl (he said lost in her thought as his heart started to beat)

Ishaara: (smiled) Yeah she sure is (then she pause and said) Bhaya do you like her

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Off course I do I just said she is so nice

Ishaara: No I mean I do you like her (she said again)

Arnav: What the!! Yeah i like her (he said irritated)

Ishaara: (nudged him) No I think you love her

Arnav: What the!! (he said shocked looking at his sister)

Ishaara: You love her Bhaya (she teased)

Arnav: Shut up (he yelled feeling conscious) Ishaara your crazy you start off any where

Ishaara: I am crazy (she raised her eye brows) Sure your the one who is totally smitten by her and I am crazy (she said sarcastically)Bhaya you love her admit it

Arnav: (rolling his eyes) No I dont ok. (he said irritated)

Ishaara: Then tell me why do you get so lost when she is around and why do you start to notice everything around her. Oh and why does your expressions change when she is happy and sad (She questioned him)

Arnav: (having no answer) Uh your crazy (his heart started to beat faster with what his sister just told him )

Ishaara: You love her admit it

Arnav: No I dont and even If i do We cant be together

Ishaara: (confused) Why not she is perfect for you at least she is not like those skinny blonds

Arnav: We cant and thats final she is married

Ishaara: (shocked) What she is married ?? Where is her husband and how come she is staying here

 Arnav explained to his sister everything and told her what was going on and Ishaara was shocked after she heard Khushi's story she felt bad for her. She was happy her brother was helping her but still her heart said to her married or not there was certainly something between them and so she said

Ishaara: Bhaya I still feel that there is something between you two

Arnav: There is nothing between us

Ishaara: Are you sure because it seems like to me that Khushi has feelings for you too

Arnav: (heart started to beat faster hearing that) What the !! how do you know

Ishaara: Bhaya you dont need a PHD in knowing this ok I can see it she is as into you as you are into her and you two love each other (she told him)

Arnav heart started to do 360 jumps by now hearing this that Khushi has feelings for him. he was not sure though but still the thought of that made him jump from within Ishaara could see the change in expressions and decided to leave at this point to give her brother some time to think and so she said

Ishaara: Bhaya think about it

Saying that she got up leaving Arnav in deep thought. he remembered the flash back in the car before they were going to meet Rohit Arnav was about to confess to her but didnt even realize it when he thought about it again he was hit himself what he was about to say to her. He remembered her blushes and her cute face how it always dazzled when they were close to each other. May be this is love he questioned  himself. He was in deep thought when suddenly he heard the door click and there right in front of him she stood in a white clad salwar kurta looking like an angle who had just fallen from the sky. The beauty in his thoughts was right before his eyes his heart started to beat as he saw her and a small blush crept on Khushi's face as she started to turn red. then she softly said

Khushi: Arnvji i was thinking can we stay home tonight for dinner i would like to cook if you dont midn

Arnav: (lost) You can cook? (he said confused)

Khushi: (smiled) Off course I can and I love to cook

Arnav: Ok cool sure why not (he said confused and dazed)

Khushi: (smiled and then said) Ok is it ok if I cook indian food

Arnav nodded and then Khushi went off to the kitchen and started to prepare dinner leaving Arnav totally in his thoughts. More confused and more in love Arnav could put a finger on it but ever since Ishaara mentioned about being in love his whole system had started to shake. Suddenly Arnav could see his perfect soul mate right in front of his eyes. His heart was jumping to joy but his mind kept reminding him of everything. Arnav Singh Raizada was now true a man who was madly completely and insanely in love with Khushi he just had to take a few minutes to digest it 

Chapter 9

Ishara reached the hotel and she was just unpacking her clothes she asked for her brother but the hotel staff told her he was out with some girl and would be back. Ishaara smiled she was happy she was dying to meet this mystery girl who her brother was out with, She only hoped that she was nice and not one of those irritating bimbo models who hang around him for money and power. Although she knew that her brother was not that type but still it that doubt was there.

Arnav and Khushi reached the hotel room and Khuhsi looked at him nervously as they stood outside the door Arnav had briefed Khushi  about Ishaara and how much he loved her. Khushi was excited but nervous she somehow wanted Ishaara to approve of her and she didnt want to intrude on his family vacation

Khushi: Are you sure this is ok. I mean I am ruining your holiday I dont want to. I can go back to my room (she asked Arnav)

Arnav: What the!! no way Your staying here with me and I am not letting you out of my site until everything is clear (he said holding her hand protectively)  You are staying here with me

Khushi: But what if your sister has a problem  I mean Arnavji I really dont want you to go through anything because of me

Arnav: Khushi not another word (he placed his fingers on her lips and her heart started to beat) No one will say anything and my sister no way (he said casually) Both my sister are a crazy bunch of people you have no idea the both of them could up turn the entire room together thats how much fun they are. They will not mind you I am sure of that. And especially my younger one  You will see they will love you for sure (he said assuring her)

Khushi nodded and then Arnav held her hand and rang the door bell Ishaara gasped in excitement as she ran to the door and opened it she yelled in glee

Ishaara: Bhaya (she said smiling while she hugged him)

Arnav: Hi guhiya how are you I missed you

Ishaara: Me too (she said happily)

Khushi stood there looking at the brother and sister hug she smiled. Ishaara seemed like a sweet and cute girl she looked like she was 18 and she was her brother's princess She was just as Arnav described her to be cute and sweet. Ishaara turned to Khushi and then said with a smile

Ishaara: Hi I am Ishaara

Khushi: (smiled and shook her hand) Khushi

Arnav: Ishaara this is Khushi my Uh friend (he hesitated

Ishaara: Thats nice (she turned to Khushi and then said) SO khushi why dont you come in

They all came in and sat. All three of them were casually talking Ishaara like Khushi she seemed like a simple girl and she seemed nice. She looked at Arnav and then at Khushi and then Back at Arnav and then the only thought that came to her mind was that they looked so cute together. She didnt know much about Khushi but she was getting a good feeling from her especially because she saw her brother open up alot usually he was a big khadoos who would sulk but here he was jovial and happy. Something about her that seemed to be right.  Ishaara told Arnav that Anjili and Ritesh would be catching the next flight as Ritesh had some meeting that he had to attend.  After some tea Ishaara said she was going to the pool for a swim and she left.

Arnav: Khushi why dont you go and freshen up

Khushi: Arnav i need my clothes and they are in Kartics room (she said irritate)

Arnav: Ok dont worry i will get them

Khushi: (shrieked) No its ok I will go There are a couple of things which I need

Arnav: Ok cool I will come with you (consoled her and put his arm around her and said) Dont worry I am with you

Khushi nodded they headed over to Kartics room, he was out luckily she quickly packed her clothes and left before he came back. Arnav and she headed back to the room. Khushi changed into her salwar as she felt like wearing one. Arnav headed to make some phone calls and she went to the beach. Ishaara was there with some friends of hers, She saw Khushi in a salwar and was surprised for a bit not expecting her to wear such a thing. She excused herself and then went over to her and smiled

Ishaara: Khushi (she smiled)

Khushi: (smiled back) Hi

Ishaara: How come you in a salwar omg you look so different (she said confused)

Khushi: (giggled) Well yeah i like salwars, You know before I met Arnavji i use to wear Salwars and after meeting him I wore dresses. I actually like salwars (she explained) I know in Goa its a little weird but some times they are more comfortable

Ishaara: (chuckled) You look so pretty in them And who cares if its Goa or Delhi or Mumbai you should wear what you like. (she said cutely)

Khushi agreed the girls spent some good time on the beach and Ishaara got to know Khushi a bit better she could feel that Khushi was some what feeling something for her brother and she liked it Khushi seemed like a cute nice girl and her brother was happy with her. May be this was the girl for him she thought oh she was so excited her cupid instincts started to work, she just needed to know her brothers thought well so that she was sure of what she was doing.
