Part 54:

Shyam couldn't understand what to do. He has some tingling sensation in his heart. He couldn't decide whether to believe this so called Mohini or not. 'What if she is really Arnav's mother? If I don't believe and she came out Arnav's real mother, then it will be really problem for Pooh. And what if she isn't? then also it will be problem for Pooh. What to do? Shall I talk with Pooh about this? If this Mohini is Arnav's real mother, she said she and Arnav wants to surprise Pooh in her marriage. But is it right to take risk in this matter? After all marriage is a lifelong matter. What if everything turns wrong? What if Pooh is not ready to get marry now? What to do?"

"What are you thinking Ji?" Shyam thoughts got disturbed by his wife's voice

"I'm thinking about Pooh. I couldn't understand what to do? I'm really confused whether to believe this Mohini or not" he poured all this fears and doubts to his better half.

"Relax Ji... First let that lady call again. And you talk with Arnav. As Pooh already said some things about Arnav, we can confirm talking with him by asking some of those things. Don't take much tension. Our Pooh is pure innocent girl. Nothing wrong will happen to her. Relax..."

"Hmm I think you are right. We should wait for her call. Then we will see how things will turn. Thanks dear... I really needed this support now. I'm leaving for office now. Are the children ready? I will drop them on my way. You no need to go and I will try to come early. Bye for now" he called his children, went to his car and drove towards the school to drop them.

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

"I'm at outside the hostel. Come fast"

"Give me just few minutes. I will be there" she cut the call and heard her warden's voice

"Khushi... Ooo Khushi... you said you need to leave early. Are you ready?" shouted the warden

"I'm ready aunty. I'm leaving also... bye" Khushi ran from her room answering her warden fully ready to go to college. "And aunty, I may come late in the evening because I may have recording today evening. Anyway I will call you to inform you" She bid bye to her warden and ran towards the person waiting for her with too much eagerness.

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

Arnav's heart skipped a beat after seeing his Angel in red running towards him. He gulped hardly to ease his dried throat.

Khushi came running and hugged him tightly.

"Good morning Arnav Ji"

"Good morning Angel. How are you today?" asked Arnav feeling her close to his body by hugging her tightly

"I'm perfectly fine Arnav Ji. What about you?" answered Khushi, breaking the hug.

He held her waist tightly and pulled her to him. He closed his eyes feeling her soft body against his. He whimpered in pleasure feeling her breast pressing his chest. He pressed his cheek on side of her face.

"Arnav Ji"

He held her face in his one palm while other hand held her by her waist, after breaking the hug hearing her voice. He looked at her face like registering every detail in his mind. Her big innocent eyes, her cute little red nose, her tempting pink lips, her fair baby soft skin – each and every detail of her face. He gulped hard seeing her looking into his eyes, biting her lips as she is observing him keenly and waiting him to answer. He bent his head slowly. His heart beat caught a rapid speed feeling her breath on his lips.

Khushi shivered seeing his eyes on her lips and his tightening grip on her waist. She felt her heart took a sudden jolt and raced in a rocket speed. She felt her heart will come out at any moment with his close proximity. Her breath hitched watching his face coming close to her face.

Arnav closed the gap between their faces in a painfully slow motion. He slowly kissed the corner of her lips making her ready to his next move. Seeing her closing eyes, he slowly pressed his lips to hers make her shiver more. They shared intimate kisses before. But this one, they both felt more powerful. They both felt a current ran down their spines. Slowly he deepened the kiss forgetting their surroundings. His hold on her waist tightened each and every second. He took her lower lip into his mouth and bit her lightly. She hissed in pleasure giving way for him to enter inside her mouth. He accepted this chance without wasting a second. He tasted every corner of her mouth. She felt dizzy with this mind numbing kiss of theirs. She held his shirt firmly to maintain her balance. Slowly her hands went to his back towards his hair. She pressed herself more on him, to feel his warmth more. He groaned in her mouth asking her to reciprocate the kiss. With a small smile she also kissed him back with same passion. They kissed each other for good few seconds. Arnav broke the kiss noticing the need of the air. He slurped her lower lip once again before parting from her. They both rested their foreheads on each others, letting their breath come to normal. They both are panting heavily.

"Ar...na...v... j...i..." Khushi managed to say

"Fra...n...k...ly..., till... coming... here... I... I... I'm fine" he paused sometime to regulate his breath and continued saying "but, not after this tight hug of yours and this mind blowing kiss. I need to control myself to not to do ANYTHING more than this kiss after seeing you in this red dress. You are looking damn so tempting Khushi" he whispered

A deep red adored her cheeks. She looked down unable to meet his eyes. She bit her lower lip to control her shy smile.

"Oh... God... Khushi please... don't do that. Can't you understand how difficult it is for me to control? As you and your appealing dress is not enough, you are blushing and biting your lips. Don't do that" he whispered.

She ran towards other side of the car to hide herself from his hot gaze. He very well knew if he follows her, he can't control himself. So, he hopped before steering opening the passenger seat door for her. She sat and buckled the belt. He smiled seeing her blushing

"What happened Khushi? Why did you run like that? I didn't say anything wrong, did I?" asked Arnav making Khushi more red.

"Arnav Ji... Please stop..." she whispered.

"What Khushi? What should I stop?" he is enjoying his effect on her.

Unable to control the blush she hugged his hand and hides her face on his muscled bicep and murmured "Please stop teasing me. Please..."

He hugged her correctly placing his hand around her laughing aloud. He kissed her forehead lovingly "I Love you Angel. Don't leave me and go. I can't live without you. I love you..."

She looked at his eyes, which are pouring all the love in the world for her. "I Love you too Arnav Ji. I too can't live without you. If anytime I have to go leaving you behind then I will go as a dead body or if I have to live after leaving you and go then I will be a living dead body. I don't want to leave you. And I Love you too much to do that. I just can't live Arnav Ji" She said looking at him reciprocating his love through her eyes.

Arnav hugged her tightly and closed his eyes absorbing her words and love.

"I Love you... I Love you..." he whispered.

Their little romantic moment got disturbed by Arnav's mobile ring. Arnav broke the hug, cursing the caller. He left a frustrated sigh seeing the caller name on his mobile.

"What??" he snapped on Aman

"Ooo... Arnav... what's wrong? Why are you shouting at me?"

"Aman... I'm not in a good mood now. You tell me why did you call me?"

"Why what's wrong? What happened?"

"Aman... don't test my patience tell me why did you call?"

"Fine... I called you to ask about Choti. She is not answering my phone. She needed here in college immediately as Mr. Shah is here. I think she forgot about that music directors' seminar in college. Just now Dean sent his peon to canteen to check about her. As I'm here he informed me about this. I sent him back saying she will be here any moment. Now tell me where is she? Do you have any idea?"

"We will be there in 10 minutes. She will attend the seminar, you don't worry"

"Oh... she is with you?"

"We are on the way, bye" saying this he disconnected the call and looked at Khushi who is biting her nails remembering about seminar

"What's wrong Khushi? Why are you looking nervous?" asked Arnav

"Lad Governor kahike... this all happened because of you. I forgot about this seminar because of you"

"Because of me? How can that possible?" asked Arnav making an innocent face.

"Ha, because of you only. I didn't remember anything because of yesterday's events"

"If you forget then what mistake is mine here? What did I do?"

"Ha? What did you do? Lad Governor kahike... you only disturbed me with your proposal and I couldn't sleep over night. And today morning I remembered about this seminar. But you came to pick me and... and..." she turned her face and murmured "made me forget everything with your kiss"

"And what Khushi? What after I came? Mm... tell me Khushi... and what?"

"N...N... Nothing... let's go to college. I don't want to miss this seminar" she looked outside from the glass.

"Anything for you my hot, sexy, tempting and tasty sweet heart" he said winking at her. He drove his car towards the college while smirking seeing Khushi's flushed cheeks. His heart did happy dance.

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

Arnav stopped his car in the parking, that was the second Khushi jumped out from the car and ran into college, not looking at Arnav or not giving him any chance to tease her. Arnav laughed out loud seeing her urgency to escape from his teasing. 'Oh God I love this girl' he thought. He entered into canteen to meet their batch. He wished everyone there

"Hello everyone"

"Come Bhai... till one hour back we are together. We already wished each other good morning. You no need to wish us again and don't worry, we won't ask you about your yesterday's secret meet with Khushi Ji" teased NK

"What the!!??" Arnav looked at Anjali with baffled expression. In return Anjali gave an apologetic expression to Arnav. Arnav sighed deeply and said

"Nothing is like that. I just said hi in a normal way"

"Yeah we know. And why did Choti run from your SUV?"

"I think she is shying Aman Bhai. May be they have a GOOD TIME" said NK

"What the hell NK? She was already late for the seminar that's why she ran, nothing more"

"I didn't ask any explanation Bhai, but why did she looked all red?"

Arnav looked at everyone who is controlling their smiles.

"Red? I didn't find anything like that. What's wrong with you NK? I just gave her lift from her hostel. That's all"

"But why? Did she call you for lift?" NK is not ready give up. He wants his brother to confess his feelings for Khushi before all of them

"What the NK" Arnav don't know what to say. Everybody is enjoying Arnav's situation. The mighty ASR in speechless state – this is not the situation they can see at anytime.

"What Bhai?" asked NK with innocent face.

Arnav looked at everyone, well knowing what they wanted to hear. Sighing deeply Arnav said "Fine... I only gave lift to Khushi, as I wanted to spend my time with her. I only offered her lift today morning by calling her yesterday night" looked up at their faces to see their expression. When he didn't find any, he again said in low voice "I... I... I Love her. I Love K... Kh... Khushi." That was the moment Arnav found himself engulfed by tight hug by his younger brothers following a loud shrieks and claps. He smiled broadly taking them in a tight hug.

"Bhai... I'm so happy for you and bhabhi. OMG... I'm so excited to have bhabhi in our house"

"Bhabhi?" everyone said in unison.

NK looked at everyone and smiled sheepishly saying "Yeah... this is what I call Khushi Ji. I know she loves Bhai from the start. And... and..." he looked at Arnav, who is giving deathly glare to NK

"And?" asked Arnav.

"And I helped Khushi Ji to trust you, not letting her trust Sheena's words about you"

Arnav and Aman looked at each other, understanding NK's words.

"What she said NK?" asked Anjali

"leave it Di. I knew what she said about me. I will deal with her later. It's not important. And you... why didn't you say this to me? I mean Khushi loving me?"

"Bhai... she wanted to tell you by herself. She asked me to not to tell you. And as she is my going to be Bhabhi, how can I cross her words? Can I?" asked NK, very well knowing what will bring his Bhai to cool down – Khushi – his going to be Bhabhi.

Arnav looked at NK, who is smiling. Arnav also smiled and hugged NK and whispered "Thank you. Thank you for being with her, all the time" NK broke the hug and said "she is my friend and Bhabhi Bhai. How couldn't I help her when she is in need? And please don't say thank you. You are my brother, whatever is important to you, that is important to us as well. Don't worry Bhai she will be fine. We are there for her. You just enjoy your time with her"

Everybody looked at NK in awe. They never expected NK to be this grown up man. Aman patted his back and said

"Arnav... our Lilliput brother became a grown up man now. I'm proud of you NK. Keep going"

NK was alighted with that compliment. He loved Aman as much as he loves Arnav. He equally adored Aman along with his elder brother. And treated them same like other. He hugged Aman

They all sat there for some more time before leaving their classes.

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

"Sorry ma'am. I don't know what to think, what to do, whom to understand and whom to trust. It's completely about my dear sister. I can't put her life in danger, just hearing your words"

"What's your problem Mr. Gupta?"

"My problem is how can I trust you as you are saying the truth? And what is the proof that you are Arnav's real mother? Sorry don't take me wrong, but as an elder brother who loves his sister as his life, it's my responsibility and fear to think about all the things before proceeding. I care about my sister. I want her to live happily in her life. For that I will do anything"

"Hmm... I can understand Mr. Gupta. And I really appreciate your love and concern towards your sister. I'm not forcing you for this marriage. You think and take decision, before you move this alliance towards your father. And I hope, as a CONCERNED BROTHER, you will let your sister to live her life with the person she loves – my son Arnav. Don't worry; if you have any doubts about my son, then you can talk with him if you want. Now he is not here in home. He went to college. I will ask him to talk with you later at night. I request you for the last time, please think about my son and your sister, before taking any decision. I don't want them to feel sad throughout their life for losing their love. Take care"

Saying this Mohini cut the call, smirking evilly. She knew whatever she said at last, will affect that so called Mr. Gupta.

"I have succeeded somewhat. I know I will succeed fully. Arnav and Aman wait to lose Khushi. I never knew that I will get another chance to hurt your family Mr. Suraj Mathur. Wait for my shot" she said deep in thoughts
