Part 11

Arnav: "hey Aman, what are you doing here at this time? You said you have to submit your project tomorrow, right? Then why are you here?"

Aman: "Oh Arnav, just forget about it. I just want to ask you about Choti, I mean Khushi. How is she now? Is she ok? What did doctor say about her bruise? Will she be ok? Did you drop her at the hostel? Is she fine?"

Arnav: "Woo wowowowo... relax Aman... Why are you asking these many questions? She is fine. In fact, she is perfectly fine. Doctor gave her some medicines and injection. God... She is freaking childish yaar... isn't she Di? She scared of Injection... OMG..." Arnav laughed like hell. Anjali is surprised to see Arnav laughing like this. They never saw him laughing... they have their luck to see only smirking or rarely smiling Arnav... but not laughing. Aman also surprised, but more than that he gets irritated with Arnav's words about Khushi.

Aman: "Oh shut up Arnav. Don't say all those words to Khushi. She is very nice girl. You should...."

Arnav stopped Aman for saying further, and asked "Relax man why are you taking this much tension about her? As I said she is fine. And i know what to do and what not with her. I know she is nice. I'm just saying that she is very childish... just like a 5 year kid. But I know she is awesome... I really lo..." he suddenly stopped there, noticing what is he about to say... but the damage was done... both Aman and Anjali got his words...

Anjali: "you really... what Chote? Are you going to say you love her...?"

Arnav: "Oh... not again Di... I already said you about this. Now don't make me to repeat it again. Please... Aman she is perfectly fine... and good night... I'm leaving now... bye... See you tomorrow..."

Anjali: "You no need to repeat it again Chote... because i got you..."

Aman: "At least now, can anybody tell me what's happening here?"

Arnav: "Nothing Aman... as always Di talks too much... that's all."

Anjali: "I'm talking too much... then what about you did in hospital with Khushi Ji.?"

Aman: "What happened in hospital? What did he do to Choti?" anger and restlessness is clear in Aman's voice

Anjali: "Oh come on Aman... relax... in real he did good to your Choti. No need to worry about her. But what we have to think is... CHOTE, did all this things to one GIRL...!" Then she said everything what happened in hospital, Arnav hugging her and making her relax after taking injection, in shopping mall ordering her favourite food, which she told to Anjali in their journey to mall, and later at Khushi's hostel giving her Jilebies and making sure she is fine and finally asking her to take care.

Aman: "Anjali... what are you saying? Is these all done by Chote...!?"

Anjali: "Of course Aman... he did all to KHUSHI" she stressed the name Khushi.

When hearing his DI and his friend, Arnav felt little bit shy. With a smile on his face he said,

Arnav: "Oh come on Di. Not again. Don't start it."

Anjali: "No, Chote... not today... you have to accept your heart. Tell me don't you feel something for Khushi in your heart? Please don't deny us"

Aman: "yes, Arnav... tell us. You know, you can share everything with us... don't worry we won't say anything to uncle or aunty..."

Arnav: "Oh come on Aman... Don't you really feel Di talks too much sometimes? Don't do this with me. I know, I don't have any feelings in my heart... so just stop irritating me" saying this he turned to move from there to his room, but Aman stopped him by shoulder and says with a soft expression,

Aman: "It is ok Arnav. If you don't want to share anything with us then it is really ok. I never force you for anything. But one thing i must say... at least clear the things for yourself... don't be in confusion... just make clear everything in your heart and mind. Don't lose anything valuable which you may regret later. Then, if you want to discuss anything with us or if you want to share, don't forget we will be always there for you. I and Anjali only want your happiness. Nothing is more. So, just think about it... and bring Khushi back here. We want her with us..."

Arnav: "What the...!! Not again... you also making fun of me... you are saying you won't force me for anything and you want Khushi here with US...?"

Aman: "what's wrong in there? I said Khushi, i mean happiness... what did you think...?"

Anjali: "haaa (as surprised) Chote... did you think Aman is talking about Khushi Ji?"

"Oh My God... Anjali you are right then... our Chote is in LOVE... It is a celebration time..." said Aman while looking at Arnav with a teasing smile on his face.

Arnav: "Unbelievable man..." saying this he ran to his room, saving himself from his sister and his best friend. When he is entering his room, he heard them both from down stair saying that...

Aman: "Good night Chote... sweet dreams..."

Anjali: "With Choti..."

Arnav turned back to them with a serious look. Seeing Arnav's expression both Aman and Anjali burst out in a laugh... watching them together in a very happy mood... Arnav felt his heart swelled with happiness... immediately his expression changed into a beautiful smile... he turned back to his room and closed the room behind.

********************

She is feeling happy today... she is smiling like a crazy girl. She is recollecting the situations held in college from morning. She is very happy about her friendship with Aman, Anjali and others. She wants to admit her comfortableness with that particular person. She wants to admit her heart beats about that same particular person. She wants to admit her happiness for being with that particular one person. "Is this happiness because of ........?" she remembered all the time she is with him... his caring nature, his soothing words, his secured hands around her, his possessiveness, his anger on Rahul, his eyes, his smile and last but not least... his lips. She remembered the time when their lips brushed slightly... she is shocked and tensed at that time... but now, she is extremely happy. When she remembered his face, her cheeks gained a deep red colour...

she is smiling and thought "Of course... it is. It is because of HIM... lad governor... Hey Devi Mayya... why am I feeling like this...? When he took me in his arms I felt secured. When he is around me I'm feeling like my heart is saying something... but i don't know what that is... and I'm feeling like somebody is saying with me like 'don't lose him...'. When I'm seeing or thinking about him, I'm feeling like flowers raining from the sky, it is beautiful... after seeing the flowers falling like rain... I'm not feeling the real rain is beautiful anymore... I know I used to love the rain... but i can't feel the rain as much as i used to feel. And I'm feeling like I'm holding the stars in my veil... but no... I'm not...

I'm feeling scared and confused... I know, from first time when I saw him in the bus... I'm feeling something about this man. I'm feeling like something is pulling me towards him... what is this feeling Devi Mayya... tell me... I'm tired of thinking about this feeling... please tell me... what's happening to me..." she asked her Devi Mayya for clarification which the Goddess of Power gave her the answer. Khushi sat on the chair of her study table in front of Devi Mayya statue. When she is asking her goddess about her feelings, suddenly she heard someone is playing her favourite song...

My heart it speaks a thousand words I feel eternal bliss...

The roses pout their scarlet mouths like offering a kiss...

No drop of rain no glowing flame has ever been so pure...

If being in love can feel like this then I'M IN LOVE FOR SUUUUUREEEEE...

"Hey Devi Mayya... is it... is it your answer...? Am... Am I.... am I in................ LOVE!!!!!!" her eyes widened... her heart is beating like hell... she wants to confirm this... she has to confirm... she has to ask someone about this feeling... but whom to ask? She felt helpless... she remembered her mother, buaji, and thinks 'if they are here... i could ask them...' her eyes filled with tears... she lied on bed and cried.

Suddenly her mother's words come into her mind... when her elder sister going to marry, her mother told her about love and marriage. "Stars appear to be brighter when you are in love, you will see him everywhere, you will feel like it rains flowers when he is in front of you, you will see only joy and happiness everywhere. You will like to spend every moment with him. The only face you want to see before going to bed. When you wake up in the morning, you feel like you should be seen by him. We can't make up relations. Only God will make. Sometimes we feel like life is a dream. Suddenly we will meet one person, we love him and we will get married to him. And some marriages will get fixed in hurry and we will keep asking questions to ourselves whether we are doing right or wrong. Who is this person, I'm going to spend my whole life with? I don't know him completely...! thousands of questions... but we won't get any answers. Why? Because, we will get those answers only during the life journey. And the same relation will become our life... (thab aasmaan me sithare aur bhi chamakne lagenge har jaga vahi nazar ayenge saamne ayenge phool bharasne lagenge, charo tharaf sirf hasi aur Khushi ka mahol hoga. Har pal dekha chahteho.... raath ko sone se pehle, jo vohi ek chera hotha hai aap dekna chahte hai.... sube utne bina aisa lagtha hai ki unki nazar aap pe pade... kabhi kabhi aisa lagtha hai ki, jeevan ek suhaana sapna hai. Achanak koi miljatha hai, pyaar ho jaatha hai, aur phir, shaadi ho jaathi hai. Aur kuch tho, shaadiyan itni jaldi jaldi thai ho jathe hai ki, hum apne apse poochthe reh jaathe hai, ki ye job hi hum kar rahe kya sahi kar rahe hai?. Koun hai ee insane, jis ke sath hum poori zindagi bithane jaarahe, hum tho teek se janthe tak nahi, hazaro sawal poochthe... lekin jawab ek bhi nahi miltha. Kahe....? ki vo jawab zindagi jee kari milthe hai... aur kabhi kabhi vohi rishthe jeevan bhar ke saath mil jaathe hai.)

with a jerk, she got up from bed... she got her confirmation... a huge smile appeared on her face... a beautiful blush on her cheeks... a bright twinkle in her eyes.... "Yes... yes..., I feel everything which amma said to Keshi Di... and as Devi Mayya said I'M IN LOVE... I'm in love with that lad governor... OMG... I'm in love... love.... LOVE!!!!!!!" she is smiling like crazy... she is jumping like a kid... She wants to see him... at least she wants to hear him... but immediately the truth hit her mind that she doesn't have his number... whom to ask... she is thinking deeply while smiling when Lavanya entered their room, talking to somebody. When Khushi saw her, she thought of asking her. But, she stopped. She doesn't want anybody to know about her feelings towards that lad governor. She is smiling, smiling and smiling... seeing her smiling like this, Lavanya got confused and asked,

Lavanya: "Khushi!!! Why are you smiling like that...? What happened... what is the reason for this your smile?"

"Nothing Lavanya Ji... after a long time I'm having Jilebies... that's why I'm very much happy today..." said Khushi.

Lavanya: "Oh god... you are really crazy Khushi... how can anyone this much happy for these mere Jilebies... phewww... I'm tired... I'm going to fresh up and then we will go for our dinner... ok" she going to washroom and turned back to Khushi and said again "Please check my mobile if I got any call... I'll be back in few minutes" and she left...

With Lavanya's words Khushi got an idea and tap herself on her shoulder and said "are wah Khushi... you are so intelligent... come on... do it... fast..." after that she made sure that Lavanya is busy in washroom and took her mobile, opened contacts for searching the lad governor's number... when she is scrolling down the contacts she saw... Akash, Aman, Anjali and ASR... immediately she noted the number. But before she completely note the number Lavanya came out of the washroom... she saw Khushi with her mobile and asked... "Did I get any call Khushi?"

With sudden voice of Lavanya, Khushi jumped from her chair and almost drop the phones in her hand. She doesn't know what to say. So immediately make up a story and said "No, Lavanya Ji, you didn't get any. Just I want Anjali Di's number... I want to say thanks to her for helping me in the morning. And want to remind her about Jilebies, which she said she will bring tomorrow."

Lavanya: "Not again Khushi... you already have those Jilebies... you still want more?"

Khushi made a face, seeing that face Lavanya said "Ok... Ok... take the phone number... not only Di's, but take Akash, Aman Bhai, ASR and NK... don't ask me about all the numbers again... Oh god... and come fast, I'll wait there in dining hall" Saying this she left for dining hall. Khushi, who is really happy about herself, turned to Devi Mayya and said her thanks. She immediately noted all the numbers and cross checked them. With a satisfactory smile on her face made a decision to talk with that lad governor after dinner. She left for dining hall and handed over Lavanya, her mobile by saying thanks. Today she ate her dinner like a lighting speed... Lavanya, who is observing her, shook her head and said "Unbelievable". Khushi bid her bye to Lavanya making an excuse to call her home and left.

After reaching her room, she went to terrace and first made a call to her parents. After talking to them she felt little relaxed. While praying to her Devi Mayya she took her mobile and selected that particular contact. She thought something and selected her second sim to call. And God knows how many times she pressed the call button and before it gets connected pressed the end button. She scolded herself for wasting time. 'Khushi if you want to talk to him then talk. Otherwise just shut your mouth and go to sleep.' 'No i won't sleep until i talk with him. I want to hear his voice... Oh Devi Mayya... I'm in LOVE...' she smiled like crazy before she pressed the call button again and waiting for the call to get connect and that particular person to lift the call...

How is it?
