When time passed by it was getting dark, and arnav took the
girls in, khushi put naina straight for a bath and went down to prepare dinner,
as arnav made his way to the study, they all sat down and had dinner and after
that naina went to sleep, khushi went in with a tray which had a glass of water
and the tablets, she knocked on the door,
Arnav: come in
Khushi: your medicine (she placed it on the desk)
She was about to leave when she turned around and said
Khushi: thank you,
Arnav looked up at her, confused
Khushi: she had a great time, thank you, (she smiled at
him) but how come you
Arnav: she was missing her parents so I …..
Khushi (smiled at him,) you like photography
Arnav: (smirked) I use to when I was in college, now I don't
have time for it
Khushi: (scrunched her eyes) you talk as if, your life has
ended,
Arnav: well back then I had time for it now I am busy
Khushi: but I am sure you can make time for it, its just you
don't wish to, think about it mr raizada
she smiled and left him to think, as she walked out arnav
smirked a bit, and then took out his camera, to see the pictures he clicked
today, of himself and of khushi and naina, khushi looks beautiful he thought
seeing one of her pics, she was smiling, he clicked the next one and saw naina
with the sand castle, she looked so cute, and then went on to see himself smiling,
he looked so happy in the pictures, which brought back old memories, before he
turned like this, he missed those days with naina and khushi he seemed to have
relived his old days, he was happy, he flipped the photographs and then reached
to one particular photograph of him and khushi, they were unknowingly standing
very close to each other, his heart started to beat faster and faster and he
felt strange and all the memories with khushi came flooding back to him
mean while khushi was sleeping in her bed, and was also
thinking about what happened, the memories of how arnav was today brought a
smile on face, never before had she seen him so happy, it was perfect, what
they shared back then was the best thing that has happened in her life, her
heart started to beat faster and faster, and she clutched it, unable to control
it she got up and moved out of her room, she didn't know where she was heading
but her legs seemed determined to take her, half way through in the hall she
met arnav, both seemed glad to see each other, and stayed quiet for a few
minutes just observing each other finally arnav broke the silence and spoke
arnav: (in a low voice)u up so late
khushi: ya I wasn't getting sleep, how come you are here did
you want something
arnav: no I wasn't getting sleep either
khushi: oh
another few moments of silence and then arnav, went to the kitchen leaving
khushi alone, he returned back with a bottle in his hand
arnav: I have a new bottle of rum and was planning on
opening it, do you want to share it with me(he offered looking a bit flustered)
khushi: (nodded and with a soft voice she said) yes
the two of them headed to the pool, they dipped their legs
in, arnav had two glasses in his hand he poured a glass for her and then for himself, then he brought the glass
up for a toast and said
arnav: to.. to today
they banged their glasses together and gulped sips down,
time passed by it was around 4: 00 am and khushi was absolutely drunk, arnav
was ok, he seems to have capacity, he was only a bit high, they spoke about
everything, it seems the alcohol opened them up, especially khushi,
khushi: (in a drunk state) why are you like this
arnav:(high) because I am, why you have a problem
khushi: (nodded up and down) yes, a big problem
arnav: (demanding) what??
Khushi: (she pointed at him) your temper, its so….. ahhh
(she clutched her hands to show her frustration)
Arnav: (pointed back) your talking about me see yourself
Khushi: (innocently) me, what did I do
Arnav: you, are so.. .care free
Khushi: so it's a sin to be care free
Arnav: no but I can't be that's why it's a sin
Khushi: u just don't choose too laad governor (she made a
cute face)
Arnav: (he smiled seeing her make the face and said) you
look so cute, (he caressed her face removing the hair of it, as she shut her
eyes with his touch) your beautiful, I remember the first time we met and I saw
you, I was mesmerized with your beauty, and your courage you really do have the
guts, (he admitted as she smiled) I wish I could… could
Khushi: (looked innocently at him) could??
Arnav: (in one breath) could just hide you and keep you away
from everyone, from the whole world
Khushi (chuckled to what he just told her) from who all will
you hide me
Arnav: (confidently) from everyone, from nk and especially
from shyam (he said clenching his fists)
Khushi: (questioning him) why are you jealous
Arnav: (lowered his head and admitted) yes
Khushi: (now complaining to him) and imagine how I feel when
you are around those extra hot models and lavanya
Arnav: (happy to hear she feels jealous) how do you feel
Khushi: (openly admitting to him) jealous (she made a face)
Arnav: (smirking) why ??
khushi: because… because
arnav: (his smirk growing) because
khushi: I don't know,(she said irritated, then suddenly she
took a deep breath and shut her eyes and then, picked his hand up and put it
against her heart, ad in the most innocent voice ever she said) why is that my
heart beats every time you come close to me, why arnav sir, why does your
thought make my heart go fast, I tried so hard to find out but I couldn't, tell
me why does this happened (she looked at him so innocently)
arnav: (shocked on what he was hearing, looked at the girl
next to him, he couldn't control his inner desires, he took her hand, in his
hand and shifted it to her heart) every time you come near me my heart beats
fast as well, every time I think of you my heart starts beating fast and
faster,
khushi: (innocently) why does that happen, arnav sir
arnav: (looks at her) because our hearts become one,
khushi repeats what he says, her hand still on his heart
over his chest, the two look into each others eyes, the wind blows over them
the sea waves create music, making the atmosphere very romantic, both smile at
each other, as their feelings are now open in the air, arnav takes the lead and
says
arnav: my mom always said that when your heart beats for
another person you have a connection with them
khushi increases her eye width like saucers as she heard
him, he loved the way he looked at her, she looked so cute, he wanted to take
her in his arms and that was exactly what he did
arnav: (he caressed her soft cheeks with the back of his
palm) khushi… you know what connection we have
khushi: (softly) what
arnav: (took a deep breath and said) love!!
She looked at him, not knowing what to do, still in shock,
her heart beating faster and faster, she put her hand on her heart to clutch it
and he noticed, he took her hand from her heart and held it in his and said
Arnav: khushi I love you !! (in one breath)
This left there speechless, she couldn't believe what she
was hearing was this a dream, did he just confess, he waited patiently for her
answer, her heart told her it was the right time for to speck and let out what
she feels so finally she gathered courage to speak, she looked into his eyes
and said
Khushi: (blushing) I love you too
And that's all it took, he took her into his arms and she
went in happily, she rested her head on his chest and he placed an arm around
her, they sat there in each other's arms for as long as they could, laughing
away, giggling away, slowly the first ray of light beamed on her face, and
khushi squealed in excitement
Khushi: (pointing at the sky) look arnav sir, the sun is
rising
Arnav: (saw her and kissed her fore head and then looked up
at the crimson sky which was shifting color to orange) it looks beautiful
Khushi: (started to yawn) I am so happy I am seeing this
with you
Arnav: (noticed it and said) me too, khushi but lets go to
bed sleepy bed, come on lets go to bed
He got up and pulled her up, as she got up she was taking
small steps he picked her up in his manly arms and as she snaked her shoulders
around him, they looked into each others eyes as he brought her into the house,
and took her to his room, he lay her down on his bed gently on one side and he
lay on the other, then she rolled over to his side and lay her head on his
chest and he wrapped his hands around her… they slept like that till noon
