(Above banner by me..

)
Arnav-Maahi, is this baby - - PAUSE.. Erm I mean is this urs?
Maahi looked at him and so did Khushi..
Maahi-Yes..
Her smile dropped and Khushi understood seeing Arnav’s sweaty face what Arnav had been thinking..
Arnav-When did u - - Erm.. Get married?
Maahi-Not yet, Arnav..
Khushi trembled on her feet hearing Arnav and Maahi’s conversation..
Arnav-Maahi I am - - I - -
Maahi-What Arnav??
Arnav felt so much weight suddenly on his chest.. He wiped his upper lips and looked at Maahi..
Arnav-Maahi, u dint even tell me about this?
Khushi was breaking, but Arnav had his own issues to concentrate on her or console her right now.. Maahi looked at the baby and then at Arnav..
Maahi-Why should I?
Her facial expressions changed..
Arnav-Means? U - - U think I should not have known? Maahi - - ..
Maahi looked at Arnav and then at Khushi whose eyes were already loosing tears and got it! Her eyes went Big too..
Maahi-NO NO NO!!!! Arnav! This is not OUR baby.. U too plz, Relax Madam..!
She told to Khushi and Arnav sighed and turned to Khushi to see her wiping her eyes looking the other side.. He knew the reason behind those tear drops.. He looked at Maahi when she spoke..
Maahi-Actually.. PAUSE.. My sister died giving birth to this baby.. *cuddles the baby* I adopted him as his Dad was not able to concentrate on anything after Di died and, I was also lonely.. U see, a baby fills up the loneliness of life..!!
Maahi smiled and turned to see the two faces ahead in an uncomfortable position..
Maahi-Did I speak anything wrong?
Arnav nodded a No and Khushi just smiled nodding a No too.. Maahi looked at Arnav..
Maahi-Well, I am happy that u married someone Arnav, u too won’t be alone anymore.. I guess u too were a bit lonely when we a met a year ago.. That ‘Cool’ image was a Show-Off na?
Maahi smiled and Arnav wondered how Maahi knew that!
Maahi-I was passing through the same phase, so I understood ur situation.. But am glad u dint end up alone.. I can see a Genuine smile on ur face today, with ur Wife being around with u.. U both make each other look good..
Be it a fake one, Khushi blushed getting that compliment and Arnav too smiled.. Maahi got a call and she excused herself to pick it up.. The baby was not letting her attend the call, and so Khushi asked if she can hold the baby.. Maahi gave the baby in Khushi’s hands and walked some feet away to attend the call..
Khushi was happy picking the baby boy up in her arms and Arnav saw that happiness evident on Khushi’s face..
Khushi-Awww.. It is so small na!
Arnav-Hmm..
Was only he could manage..
Khushi looked at Arnav and teased him..
Khushi-Waise Arnav, iski aankhei bilkul tumari tarah dikhti hai, kyu? (BTW Arnav, his eyes just look like u, na?)
Arnav smirked and teased her back..
Arnav-Khushi.. Apne Bhagwaan ka shukriya karo ke iski aankhei sirf mere jaisi dikhti hai.. Agar mere pe gayi hoti na, toh mujhse zyada, tumhari fhat-ti.. (Thank ur God his eyes are just like me, not gone on me, or else more than me, u would have been terrified!..)
Khushi’s mouth was left wide open, ASR managed to wink at her too.. She looked down to hold the baby properly.. It was so small, so soft, really very delicate..
Khushi was not able to hold him properly as it jumped, and Arnav’s hand reached below Khushi’s and they together held the baby and looked at each other to share a sweet eye lock.. The baby slept already..
A moment later Maahi came and cleared her throat looking away.. Arnav left Khushi’s hands carefully.. Khushi smiled passing the baby to Maahi cautiously and Maahi smiled seeing her baby smiling at her touch in sleep..
Arnav-But Maahi, erm.. What are u doing here? Alone? At this time?
It was really late so he asked..
Maahi-No no.. Not alone.. My fiancé is here.. I was just talking to him, he was not able to find us so.. Ya.. I was giving him the directions..
Arnav and Khushi both congratulated Maahi and that’s when Maahi’s fiancé came there.. He came there and hugged Maahi from the side and took the baby in his arms.. He too had chocolaty brown eyes.. Maahi introduced her fiancé..
Maahi-Arnav, this is Jogi.. And Jogi, this is Arnav, my old friend, and his wife, Khushi..
Jogi smiled at these two and Maahi spoke about Jogi..
Maahi-Jogi was my school friend.. I fell for him during out school days..
Jogi-Maahi??
Jogi looked at Maahi shocked! Maahi continued still smiling..
Maahi-Ya Jogi.. But as I was not having the guts to accept my Love, I lost u.. Had I not been so Arrogant to accept I loved u, I would have been ur First wife.. PAUSE.. And what a co incident, that u and my elder sister were married in just a span of time.. I had to forget u, but I could not.. PAUSE.. I tried to move on, but never could, and I still loved u.. And .. *sobs* Before a few months, when Di died, I was not able to think straight.. My Mom and Dad asked if I was okay to marry u and, I dint know if I should say YES being selfish or not?
Jogi-I - - I never knew that Maahi, am - - Wait.. Plz don’t marry me just for the baby, u have ur whole life ahead.. I can talk to ur Mom Dad..
Maahi-NO Jogi.. I do love u! And wish to start a life with u and this baby.. I love u both, I always have, and I always will..
Jogi kissed Maahi’s forehead and she hugged him feeling pleased.. Once they were contended sharing this lovely moment, Maahi looked at Arnav and Khushi and spoke..
Maahi-Life and Love does not give second chance to everyone.. *looks at Jogi* But I got, and I dint waste it.. *looks at baby* and I am happy today for that..
Arnav looked at Khushi who was admiring this couple and smiled..
Arnav (self thought)-I too wont waste this second chance I have got to win Khushi back! I love u Khushi, and I know nothing more..
Arnav looked forward as Maahi and Jogi took a leave and turned sideways.. He smiled as they left, and turned on his right side to see Khushi disappeared.. He panicked..
Arnav-Khushi.. Khushi.. KHUSHI..
He rubbed his forehead in tension and wondered where she vanished in a moment..
***
A few minutes back..
After Jogi-Maahi left, Khushi smiled and looked at Arnav and sensed Puch Puch no where around.. She looked behind and panicked, she ran forward and found her Pug at the street end and stood up to go back to Arnav..
She was just about to turn, when she saw a Lady calling her throwing a reflecting light from the small mirror in her hand.. Khushi turned and saw no one else behind her and was confirmed it was she who this lady was calling..

Khushi moved towards this lady who had been calling her.. Khushi went there with her Pug, and the Lady showed her a few Ghagra Khushi was already interested in.. Khushi tried one she liked, and next she dint knew when she drank some juice and getting ready to dance..

***
Arnav too ran around trying to search her (Khushi) and stood near the End of the Street which was full of Lights and Life.. The place was suddenly crowed too much surrounding something, or someone.. Just then, Arnav felt a pull on his Jeans and looked down to see Puch Puch.. He bend down and carried the Pug in his arms and realised..
Arnav (self thought)-Khushi may be searching for Puch Puch.. We never knew when he ran away from Khushi’s arms.. May be she too dint realise..
Arnav kept Puch Puch on the ground and kneeled down to his level..
Arnav-Puch Puch.. Listen to me carefully.. I need u to find Khushi that side and drag her here if u see, Okay? U got it? Will u do that for me?
As if Puch Puch understood, he ran leaving Arnav and just when Arnav was about to get to the other side to find his Khushi with a trembling heart, he again felt a wet pull over his feet and heard some noise and the Music started.. It was Puch Puch near his feet and he was pulling his pant to take him somewhere..
The lights went Off and he looked ahead to move forward cutting the crowd managing to not fall down as Puch Puch seemed to desperate to make their way by pulling Arnav’s pant in his mouth and going forward without a stop.. Arnav too was unconsciously feeling a pull to cut the crowd..
And he got to the front and was shocked.. His breathe was taken away to see two beautiful ladies dressed in beautiful Ghagra! His eyes popped out.. Puch Puch left him as he reached where he should have..
Khushi's backless blouse he saw just to react in the very expected way!..

Arnav-What the-
To say he was shocked would be an understatement.. He could not believe his eyes as the two ladies turned around.. One of them was Khushi, HIS Khushi.. But who was the other one??
His throat dried and he looked on the sides as someone commented..
Sahebaan, kadardaan, meharbaan..
Dil thaam ke baithiye,
Kyun ki ab aapke saamne tashreef la rahi hain,
Agra ki azeem fankaara..
Mallika-e-Husn, noor-e-nazar..
Mohatarma Mohini..
Oh! So the Girl standing there with Khushi was some ‘Mohini’..
Mohini and Khushi started moving their hips in an attitude and came forward with wide smiles on their faces.. Everyone was cheering them, and soon another group of Girls joined them from behind and the public started to whistle and cheer.. Arnav was taken aback..
Mohini, the centre of attraction started to Sing looking at Arnav.. Well, at least he thought that she was staring him..
Ladke o re ladke,
Kahaan se aaya hai re tu..
Pyara hai re shaqal se,
Akal ka mara hai re tu..
Arnav looked around to see whom this Mohini was addressing and was baffled to know it was Arnav himself..
Khushi was laughing seeing Arnav’s confusion and Puch Puch too rolled on the Floor as if dancing with the On Lookers..
Firstly Arnav dint like that, but he could not deny too, that His Girl was looking breathe taking.. He could not think straight about how and when Khushi managed to change into this, but she was laughing and giggling like anything.. He was more than relieved to see her safe.. He sighed and looked down just to feel a hand pull him and he looked ahead to see Khushi pulling him to Dance with him..
Ladke o re ladke..
Kahaan se aaya hai re tu
Pyara hai re shaqal se,
Akal ka mara hai re tu..
She repeated what Mohini sang already and Arnav chuckled to see her dancing so freely, and the best part what he thought was, that she had located him, and was moving on the beats locking her eyes with him only from the start and giggling as the Song started to go on..
He felt Khushi making him hold her bare waist and that’s when his eyes fell in her stomach and that netted dupatta which was tucked in her waist covering her decently, yet she looked so sexy.. He held her close to him before anyone could see her in anyway and she was hopping on the ground holding onto his shoulders.. Arnav too forgetting his anger in her smiles started melting in the atmosphere..
Haan jal gayi, haan jal gayi..
Meri baaton se tu jal gayi..
Haan khal gayi, tujhe khal gayi..
Meri beparwahi khal gayi..
He felt a tap over his shoulder and saw Mohini standing besides and the three started moving their feet with Arnav in between.. Arnav looked at Mohini and asked..
Mohatarma tu kis khet ki mooli..
Hai zara bata..
Arnav was pushed out of the Dance and he turned to see the other two flaunting their skirts and singing in Unison..
TV pe breaking news haaye re mera ghagra haaye
Baghdad se leke Delhi via Agra..
The Crowd hummed together..
Ghagra ghagra tera ghagra ghagra..
Tera ghagra ghagra via agra..
Ghagra Ghagra,
Ghagra Ghagra..
Arnav again came forward and smiled seeing Khushi enjoying.. But he could notice something was different today.. His nose suddenly smelt something different and his mouth hanged down.. Khushi was DRUNK, again! His heart almost skipped a few beats together and he started pulling her apart the crowd.. But Khushi was adamant to dance..
He thought of doing the SAME what he did back then in their SCHOOL FAREWELL PARTY two years back.. He started dancing and pulling her out of the crowd as if they were still into dancing.. Khushi started struggling and managed to let Arnav chase her..
Khushi-Main hawa
Arnav-Toh ud ja
Khushi-Ghata
Arnav-To mud ja
Khushi-Kali
Arnav-Kahaan ki
Khushi-Adaa
Arnav-Hat abhi
Arnav caught her and flung her over his shoulders and Khushi started to punch his Hard Back..
Bada besharam hai tu toh..
Likha hai padha..
Khushi pouted resting her elbow on his shoulders and her chin in her palm.. She sang..
There came a drunk oldie and started to stare Khushi who was still over Arnav’s shoulders.. Arnav felt like punching him on the face.. Arnav moved ahead but with that, this drunkard followed them and sang..
Drunkard-Yeh kamar..
Arnav clenched his jaw and covered Khushi’s waist by covering his arm around..
Arnav-chhupa le..
Drunkard-Nazar
Arnav-Ghuma le
Drunkard-Pata..
Arnav-Main poochun..
Drunkard-Umar
Arnav-Tu jaane
Drunkard-Dekho berukhi pe kaise, atka hai pada..
Arnav noticed that actually this drunkard was staring him (Arnav) and his (Arnav’s) muscles.. God! Another Shakti..!! Arnav ran with Khushi but the crowd dint let him.. Khushi finally managed to get down and this Drunkard held Arnav and an irritated Arnav pushed him.. Just then an Old Lady came and started to pull Arnav’s cheeks and Arnav ran behind Khushi looking behind to see that lady still following him.. She was too old for him and he had to explain her that now!
Haan dhal gayi re dhal gayi..
Tu shaam ki tarah dhal gayi..
Haan khal gayi tujhe khal gayi..
Meri bheparwahi khal gayi..
Khushi was again besides Mohini and Arnav saw Mohini scanning Arnav and raising her one brow with a giggling smirk on her face and asked her..
Mohatarma tu kis khet ki mooli..
Hai zara bata..
Arnav saw Khushi pulling her Ghagra UP and rushed towards here.. He managed to pull her towards him not allowing her to do anything stupid in her drunk state..
Bematlab ki..
Bematlab ki bakwaas tera ghagra..
Baghdad ho ya ho Delhi via Agra..
Khushi giggled and pushing him over Mohini, she again flaunted her skirt and sang..
TV pe breaking news haaye re mera ghagra..
Baghdad se leke Delhi via Agra..
The dancing girls behind started to hum flaunting their skirts now..
Haaye re mera ghagra
Mera ghagra.. ghagra aa aa
Haaye re mera ghagra aa..
Ghagra mera.. mera mera..
Seeing an opportunity, Arnav held Khushi’s hands and pulled her over him and picking her in his arms, he made his way OUT cutting the crowd.. While Mohini continued to dance..


‘Kya baat hai bhai..’
Someone complimented..!! Arnav ignored that and finally was OUT at a less crowed place.. Moving his tail, Puch Puch followed these two without being called.. It was some Open Ground and they were standing under a tree.. It felt like it will rain anytime.. Khushi’s mind was still under the effect of alcohol and she suddenly ran around the ground leaving her Arnav and Puch Puch under the tree.. Thunder stroke the sky and Arnav too moved from under the tree as it was not advisable.. He ran to pull Khushi but before that, she pulled him on her and smiled wide tilting her face and again got started..
Khushi-Main nasha..
Arnav-utar ja
Khushi-Khata..
Arnav-sudhar ja
Khushi-Itar..
Arnav-main soonghu
Khushi-Ghazal..
Arnav-main gaaun
Khushi-Aise ban raha hai jaise, koi tope hai..
Arnav smirked and it started to drizzle.. He looked up and turned Khushi holding her waist and she too agreed to dance on his moves..
Arnav-Main maza..
Khushi-main chahoon
Arnav-Saza..
Khushi-main kaatoon
Arnav-Raza..
Khushi-main poochhoon
Arnav-Juaa..
Khushi-kyu kheloon
With every word Arnav turned her holding her waist, but at last he pulled her over him and she shivered due to the cold.. She was lost in his eyes while he smirked again and winked at her..
Arnav-Hopeless hai tu phir bhi, thodi hope hai..
Khushi’s mouth hanged and she pushed him away from her.. Her nose flared and she demanded attention from him.. He too followed her and went in front of her to face her and joined his hands for her as the drizzle turned in rain..
Haan tal gayi, haan tal gayi
Aafat ki tarah tal gayi
Haan khal gayi, tujhe khal gayi
Meri beparwahi khal gayi
Mohatarma tu kis khet ki mooli
Hai zara bata
She smiled and tore opened that Ghagra and threw it away for him to close his eyes and open to see that she had been wearing her Jeans under that Shirt, but what about her shirt? Before this giggling beauty does anything stupid about her blouse, he flung her again on his shoulders and made his way towards the spot he had parked his Bike.. The ghagra Khushi had been wearing was still flying somewhere in this stormy rain..
Arnav sang referring to this..
Udhti firti afwaah tera ghagra..
Baghdad ho ya Delhi via Agra..
Khushi too giggled as Arnav made her sit in front of him on his Bike, and he made her lock her legs on his hips and hugged her to make her rest in his laps and let her fall her sleepy head on his shoulders, while he tries to manage to Start his Vehicle in such a Compromising Position!
Khushi lost her conscious not before she last time sang..
TV pe breaking news
Haaye re mera ghagra haan
Baghdad se leke Delhi via *hiccup* Agra
(The above Song Lyrics Belong to -Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani- The Movie)
And Arnav smiled, but then his smile disappeared thinking how and where did she drink anything? And what and when did she drink? Anyway there was no time to think all that.. Puch Puch was kept in a Basket and it’s handle Arnav supported on his Bike’s handle..
*
Khushi was almost asleep, when she felt the Bike stopping and opened her eyes to find herself in Arnav’s lap.. She jerked behind and her head was still heavy..
She smudged her eyes like a baby and saw a blur image of an angry ASR flaring his nose at her and jerking her to make her come back..
ASR-Khushi.. Khushi.. Open ur eyes, and eat this..
She looked down in her hands to see a blur image of something white in a transparent packet..
Khushi-Is it Viagra??
Arnav’s eyes popped out..
Arnav-WHAT THE-.. That’s not meant for u.. Eat this now without arguing much..
She took it in her hands and smelled it with those shaking hands.. It was Curd and she broke into a crooked smile..
The bike was standing in the middle of the road, besides which there was a small shop cum day and night Dhaba..
Khushi giggled and he took that packet from her hands.. He tore one end of this Curd Packet with his teeth, and passed her.. She sucked it from the packet directly and giggled.. She closed her eyes and moaned the taste she loved..
Khushi-Umm Arnav! U do remember I like curd cho much.. Cho sweet of u..
She said in her drunk state and bend over his face slapping his cheeks.. He turned his face and she ended resting her pouting curd filled lips on his subtle.. Arnav gave some pennies to the little boy standing there and staring them.. He was the same who got this curd till Arnav’s bike as Arnav was unable to stand up and sit down continuously again and again with Khushi sitting over him..
Arnav saw the little boy running back to his Dhaba where Arnav had took a stop for a while and saw Khushi.. He knew eating curd could decrease alcohol’s effect to some extend, but seeing Khushi’s turning expressions, he knew what was coming next..
Before Arnav got make Khushi stand up, she puked!
Arnav-Ewww.. Khushi!! What did u do?
The curd packet fell on the ground and Khushi looked around with dreamy eyes and wiped her mouth which was still having some curd over it and spit out looking away..
Khushi-Sorry Arnav.. But I am very happy tonight.. I am no more lonely u see, I have u! I am so lucky u still are my friend.. *hiccup*..
She seemed to be a little in her senses, but not completely though! Her voice told him that..
Arnav saw her holding her head and closing her eyes, and before he could question her anything, she fell fast on his shoulders and went unconscious.. Ya, she fell asleep..
Hostel was just a mile or two way, and Arnav started his bike again.. He accelerated the speed, with his one hand covering Her who was sitting hitting Him from everywhere.. Finally, they reached!
***
Arnav’s Hostel Backside..
Arnav got down from the bike, leaving it parked outside, and Puch Puch woke up sensing the vehicle no more moving.. He jumped out of the basket, just making it easy for Arnav to carry only his Lady and call Her baby pug, together inside..
But seemed they was not alone..
Arnav saw the hostel lights ON which were usually OFF this time of night, and he sensed something odd.. Before he could think more, he felt a torch light over his face and flinched backwards shutting his eyes.. Khushi was still in his arms holding his collars and giggling sometimes, while Puch Puch was making noise near his feet.. Arnav opened his eyes to see someone holding a torch and waving the same towards him.. Once the torch light was off, he took two seconds to notice who it was, and rushed towards the person once knowing who it was.. It was Shakti..
*
Arnav was pulled to Shakti’s quarters and an obedient Puch Puch followed them.. Khushi moved a bit in Arnav’s arms murmuring something but still she managed to make it to her beauty sleep..
Arnav (to Shakti)-What happened? And why are the lights ON there?
Shakti-Sssh.. Don’t make noise.. I will tell u everything but first come with me..
***
Shakti’s Quarters..
Once reached inside His quarters, Shakti locked the door behind and asked Arnav to keep Khushi on the bed besides.. Arnav helped Khushi sleep properly on the Bed and covered her with a blanket as the weather was a little cold.. Shakti called him aside, and they both went to the other corner of the room where Shakti explained Arnav much things he was unaware of..
Shakti-Where were u? I left u messages!
Arnav-I was - - Wait, how did u get my number?
Shakti-Khushi passed me when I insisted sme time back but that’s not important.. What’s important is, that the Police has reached her.. They are searching for Khushi, Khushi’s father has sent them.. H is here as well, Mr. Shashi Gupta..
Arnav’s breathe went still, and Shakti’s Laxmi who was in the balcony barked..
Shakti-They came searching for her (Khushi) in ur room.. But before they could, I moved her particulars from ur room to here..
Shakti pointed towards Khushi’s bags and things which were behind the Bed Khushi was sleeping on..
Arnav was not shocked, but surprised for sure.. He somewhere knew that Khushi won’t be here with him forever, her parents would obviously find her some day, but so soon?? He looked at Khushi who was sleeping peacefully with her Puch Puch now above her stomach over the blanket she was hugging..
Shakti-Khushi’s dad has contacted the Police for her search, and u are the Prime Suspect in her going missing.. They have ur sketch too, they were asking for u.. PAUSE.. Look, no one would suspect me in helping u both.. But I guess, this is not right.. Its better u tell Khushi everything and let her talk to her parents.. She is also out of her loneliness I guess, and ee should not hide more, it’s enough!
Arnav looked at Shakti with a blank look.. He knew Shakti had the hots for him, but also could understand that he (Shakti) was not saying all this out of his possessiveness for Arnav..
Shakti kept a hand over Arnav’s shoulder and Arnav looked at him..
Shakti-Dekho Arnav, maine apne pyar ko dosti ka naam de diya hai, ab tum bhi apni dosti ko pyar ka naam de doo.. Isse pehle, ki bahot der ho jaay.. (Look Arnav.. I have given my Love the Tag of Friendship.. U too Tag ur Friendship as Love before its too late..)
Arnav looked in Shakti’s eyes, and for the first time he was not irritated.. Arnav was moved by Shakti’s words, and was amazed how Shakti understood Arnav so well.. How could Shakti know that Arnav had fell in Love with Khushi beyond his friendship! Really Shakti understood him well.. Arnav pulled Shakti in a hug, and Shakti too completed the same giving in feeling so everything around to be so pure..
Arnav-Shakti, the place of a Best Friend is now vacant in my life, plz take that..
Shakti wiped his one happy tear..
Shakti (chuckles)-With pleasure!
***
Gupta Mansion..
Khushi’s father was very infuriated now.. He was prepared in every way to leave for Lucknow the next day, and here the Police replied that their daughter was still not found!
Shashi could not wait more and gave a call to the D.C.P. , who in return promised that their girl would be with her parents before tomorrow’s sun rise..
Shashi was not able to meet Garima’s eyes, and went out in their Garden waiting for the night to pass.. The rain drenched him and he kept sitting on the swings there.. He never waited for the morning Sun so desperately, ever..
***
Shakti’s Quarters..
Arnav dint know where Shakti left leaving him and Khushi in his Quarters.. It only had two rooms, and they were large enough for three people to reside.. Still he left, for where? Arnav dint know.. He locked the Quarters and choose to be here for tonight as the Police may be keeping eye on him and his Room..
He had decided to tell Khushi that her Parents had reached Delhi and were finding her, but then only tomorrow.. Before letting her know anything else, he wanted to propose his love to her, from which he had been running all this while..
He went besides Khushi and Puch Puch got down to move to the Balcony and sleep besides his (Puch Puch’s) New Found Mate Laxmi.. Arnav sneaked into that small single bed besides Khushi and pulled her into him taking the blanket over both now..
He so wished to wake her up and tell her how much he loved her, but she was busy sleeping without any movement.. He remembered how cheerfully she danced, maybe she had forgotten every moment of her loneliness from past two years in this one night..
He was happy for his Love.. He had decided never to let her alone from tomorrow.. Khushi turned in her sleep to move above him and his hand bruised over her open waist and that’s when he realised, Khushi had been wearing a Blouse and Jeans.. How uncomfortable she would have been till now, still she was sleeping so peacefully.. His hands went on her bare back and he could feel how silky soft her skin was.. He knew where exactly she had a mole and his fingers unintentionally moved that side..
But wait, she was wet, he was wet too! Due to the rains, he just realised that.. Her sticky open hairs were sticking his face.. What if she caught cold and fever there after? NO..
His hands stopped running on her back as he heard Khushi moan a bit in sleep and his heartbeat rose.. His fingers found her Dori (holding the blouse) a bit loose and he rolled her to other side of the Bed to get up that very instant..
He dint know what to do.. Suddenly there was a loud thunder strike followed by a light out.. Maybe it happened for a reason?! Arnav looked back and closed his eyes..
Moving his feet away from her, he went near her bag and opened it.. He got rid f his own wet clothes and stood there in his boxers.. Taking a pair of her clothes from her suitcase, he got up to move near the bed where she was sleeping so senselessly..
*
Khushi was now in her tracks and a full sleeves t-shirt.. He had made her change COMPLETELY.. It was needed..
Arnav threw all her wet clothes aside in a corner and was about to get up..
But, her hand locked his and he could not move..
Khushi-Arnav!
He turned behind holding his breathe, but knowing she was still sleeping, he sighed..
The dark room was heating up..
Arnav closed his eyes remembering the night which made everything go upside down between him and Khushi.. That night too only she was drunk, and everything was his fault that he gave into her demanding desires.. The heat in the room made him conscious and he took a deep breathe feeling the history was repeating..
Khushi pulled him and he came on to her.. Her hands hugged his back and her fingers moved above his bare wet back feeling his muscles which sent shivers down his spine.. Arnav gulped breathing hard..
Come what may, nothing should happen tonight which would part her again from him, thought Arnav.. Maybe she was strong to tolerate rejection from her Love two years back after what happened the previous night, but he was not.. He dint wish His first Love to reject him.. He was ready to wait, but not to witness any sort of rejection..
Wait, what was he thinking?
Arnav (self talk)-Be optimistic Arnav! Just tell Khushi in the morning that u love her, ya, that’s it.. There is no way she will deny u, she still loves u.. In fact she was just waiting for one yes from u for which u took two years of her life.. This one week has made me realise Khushi, that u are the one! I Love U..
Khushi tried to pull Arnav more into her moaning in her sleep but he stood up and moved away trying hard to control his wishes.. He desired to do IT all with her only from now on, but not the way he did it first time.. He was ready to wait, for her to open her eyes and make her feel how much he wished to be with her from this moment.. He wanted her to look at him consciously when they made love, not like their first time.. He wanted her to feel his love, their love, with his every move.. He wanted her in his senses, and himself too..
The thunder and the lightening outside the window made the climate grow colder, and the rain which soon started made it ever worse.. This night was not an easy one, still all he wished was that this night never sees the morning..
Iss Raat ki koi subah na ho!!
He got up to move to the balcony and drizzle drops shined on his face giving him a new look, and a transformed character.. One more thunder in the sky, and he turned around to see Khushi shiver badly.. The next moment he was besides her, and the Moon in the Sky went Bigger with the Rain going more heavy..
***
Next Morning..
Khushi was feeling a warm breathe over her forehead and she opened her eyes to see the most handsome torso she had seen so many times already.. Her lazy eyes moved a bit up, and she saw Arnav’s sleeping face with his mouth a bit open, and she smiled..
She had been sleeping in his arms all night, forgetting anything and everything else, and soon her eyes went big as she scanned the Room around and found themselves NOT in Arnav’s Room, and Arnav shirtless..
A scream hardly left her mouth and she shut Khushi’s mouth with his palms not to wake him up who had been sleeping calmly..
Her heart sank not remembering anything and her eye’s left tears..
The last part she could remember was only her dancing and Arnav’s carrying her over his shoulders and nothing else.. Directly this morning and their this position in this unknown room..
Khushi looked down to see her chest covered with her shirt and her legs in her track pant.. She dint remember coming at THIS place and changing and suddenly everything fell into place.. He made her change, her breathe hitched.. She looked up at Arnav with a disbelief in his eyes..
Khushi (self talk)-U again did the same! I told u.. I wanted to see this place around and - - how could u Arnav? U brought me in this room and - -..
She misunderstood.. Khushi stood up to see herself dressed in her own clothes and pressed her forehead in pain.. Her palms covered her mouth and she had started to sob.. She got up leaving him behind and marched out of the room..

2 hours later..
Arnav moved on the bed and opened his eyes to remember where he was and jerked up.. Wait, he was alone? He got up to go to the other room and she was no where..
Where was Khushi? He looked around and saw her Bags and all GONE..
He roamed his eyes around and saw a Letter on the Table beside the Bed they slept on.. He dropped on the Bed feeling his heartbeat getting slow and loud with each passing second.. He understood it all.. She was gone, again.. And their Love Story was left incomplete, again..
