Part 70(Last):

"Is it really necessary to go all together? Only Arnav and Aman can go there. I'm really missing them. It's almost one month from they all left. I don't know when they will return. And yesterday, when I asked Chote, he said it will take more time to come back. He sounded very excited" said Saritha

"Isn't he? I too felt that. I don't know what's happened there, but when I asked Aman, he said, Chote found his happiness there. Though I'm confused, but I'm happy for him. I really wish him to move on in his life" said Suraj.

"Hmm... if he is happy in his life with whatever he has, I don't want to force him for the things which he won't be comfortable. I can't force him" said Akul

All the four are sitting in the hall, and having their morning coffee while chatting. From the day their children went to Sydney, they are staying in one house. The maid opened the door when they hear the bell ringing.

"Who is that HP?" before HP answers, Aman entered the home, calling for his mother

"Mom, we are home"

He along with Anjali and Lavanya went and hugged them. After finishing pleasantries, Saritha asked

"Where is Chote?"

"He is coming with Shyam Bhai"

"What? What's Shyam doing with him? Where did they meet each other, in airport?"

"No... there was an issue which needed Shyam Bhai's immediate attention. So, he came there when we called him" said Akash.

At the same time outside the door:

"Bhai... let's go from here. I am getting tensed and scared Bhai. Please I don't want to come there. Please Arnav Ji... please take me from here" said Khushi holding both Shyam and Arnav's hands

"No Pooh... we are going inside. They are your parents. Why are you getting tensed? I said you right? They are really nice people" Shyam tried to relax her

"Yes, Khushi... they are really nice people. You no need to feel scared. Anyways, I, Shyam Bhai and all others are there for you. Don't be tensed. Everything will be fine. Come, let's go inside first. Then you will see and agree with us, come" Arnav led Khushi inside holding her hand.

"But what if they don't like me?" asked Khushi in low voice, startling both Arnav and Shyam

"Why do you feel like that?"

"I don't know..., it's already 19 years(Now Khushi is 21 years and she was kidnapped when she was 2 years old) What if they don't like me anymore and don't want me in their lives?" asked Khushi with tears in her eyes "I can't take shocks, heart breaks and/or rejection or hate anymore. I'm tired"

Both Arnav and Shyam hugged her at a time and looked down at her

"Nothing that sort will happen, don't worry... we are here. Come, let's go" they led her inside.

Both Arnav and Shyam stood at the door almost touching each other's bodies, hiding Khushi behind.

"What are you both doing there at the door? Come inside" said Akshaya

Not moving an inch they both stood there.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you coming inside?" asked Akul

Both Shyam and Arnav looked at each other and turned their look behind from between each other. Sensing something serious, their parents came to them to check the problem.

"Mami... today I'm fulfilling my promise to you. Sorry for the late"

"What are you talking about Arnav?" asked confused Suraj

Smiling at them, Arnav turned his face to his side "Angel... come front" ordered

Everybody looked at Arnav's side with curiosity. First they saw hair, then forehead and two big eyes which are grown bigger after seeing them and suddenly disappearing behind Arnav.

"Who is that?" asked Akul with thudding heart. He can somewhat guess who the girl, Arnav called Angel. But he couldn't confirm keeping the disaster in his mind. He wants to see the girl, he want to confirm. "Who is that Arnav?" he raised his voice in frustration.

Arnav slowly turned back and moved Khushi in front of everyone. All the four – Akul, Suraj, Akshaya and Saritha froze in their places seeing Khushi's face

"Choti?!" all four whispered at the same time.

Khushi held Arnav and Shyam's hands in tight. Shyam pushed Khushi forward, towards her parents. Arnav held her shoulders and led her towards Saritha.

"Mami... As I promised here is your Choti – my Angel – our Khushi"

"Arnav...? How?", that's all Saritha can ask.

All together explained what happened in Sydney, how they met Khushi again after long two years. Everybody overwhelmed after hearing what they said and seeing their Khushi in front of them.

Saritha hugged Khushi tightly and cried her heart out. After that, remaining three held Khushi tight in their embrace, not leaving her, thinking she might disappear in a thin air. Khushi looked at her back to see Shyam standing and smiling with tears in his eyes. Seeing her Bhai in that state, Khushi felt pain in her heart. She rushed towards Shyam and hugged him tightly and cried

"Bhai... let's go Bhai... I don't want to lose you. Please Bhai... let's go from here, I'm scared"

"Shh... Pooh... stop crying. Why are you crying? Why are you scared? This is our family, they are our parents, this is our home and this is our life. We have to accept this. Pooh, God gave us two families in our life. One family is from my side, and one is from yours. We already lost one; I don't want us to lose this family too. We are so lucky to have these people as our family Pooh, trust me, they are really nice persons. There is no need to be scared Pooh... relax..."

"But Bhai..."

"Shh... just trust us Khushi. You will be safe here, no one can or will throw you out from here. You are safe, you have all of us. Don't worry; nobody will force you for anything. You can live here with full of yourself. You can stay here as YOU want. Nobody will say anything to you. Just trust us Khushi, you have all of us" said Arnav

"Bacha..." Akul came and side hugged Khushi and led her to sit on the couch. "Look Bacha... this house is yours; I know it will be difficult for you to accept it. We are not forcing you to accept us immediately. Take your time..., or may be for some days observe us, understand everyone here and try to be comfortable with everyone here. If you feel you are not comfortable with anyone here or if you feel you can't stay with us or you feel suffocate here between us, then you are free to go where ever you want" everyone gasped in shock with his announcement

"Bhai sahab..."

"Akul..."

"Dad..."

"Mama..."

"Akul Ji what are you saying? How can you...?" Akshaya was cut by Akul's commanding voice

"I know what I'm doing and well aware of what I'm saying. Let me handle the situation and let me talk to Choti now. I don't want anyone to disturb us" he turned to Khushi and continued saying "Shyam will come with you. He was, is and will be your brother. We don't have any right on him more than you. After some days, if you want to stay away from us, then you are free to leave us, nobody can stop you. You have my word. And please remember, this will not affect your relation with Arnav. He will be always yours – your Arnav Ji" Khushi looked at her brother and her Arnav Ji with tearful eyes. They both smiled at her assuring with a nod of their heads. Khushi looked back at Akul with his question

"Before you say anything, Bacha I want to ask one thing, can I?"

Looking at both Arnav and Shyam Khushi nodded her head

"Choti, being Arnav's parents and being Shyam's adoptive parents and most importantly being YOUR parents, don't you think we deserve a chance to get you back in our lives? Don't you think we deserve happiness by getting you back in our lives? Don't you think we should relax seeing our complete family with you returning back? Think Choti... think whatever I said, discuss it with whom you want. But please think. I know you will take a wise decision. Remember, whatever your decision will be, we all will be with you all the time – whenever you want us. You are our Choti. You may think to leave us, but we can't lose you again. But that doesn't mean we will bother you. I promise we won't come in front of you. But we will watch you and take care of you. You just have to think and decide what you want. I hope we will get our Choti completely without any hesitance. All the best Bacha" Akul finished saying patting her head lovingly.

Hearing his words, Khushi took his hands in her and said "I don't mean to hurt you all. I can very well understand how you all feel after getting me after a long time, because I too crossed that situation when I got back my brother. I can clearly understand your feelings" she said looking at Saritha and Suraj "But it's really difficult for me. I was too attached to my parents and family. It will be difficult for me to see others in the place of my family" she said looking at the floor "I know I shouldn't say these words, but I don't want to give any false hopes to anyone, because I can clearly understand how it feels when our hopes shatters. I felt that, when I read the news of Arnav Ji's engagement. But I really wish I accept this family as mine, I really do hope to get involved in this family. I really hope I... I... forget... forget..." she couldn't control herself and broke in cries. The next second Arnav and Shyam are beside her. Arnav sat on the floor near her legs and Shyam sat beside her hugging her sideways. Shyam rubbed her back trying to sooth her pain, but nobody tried to stop her cries, because they thought her crying is necessary.

After controlling her cries, she said "Please... try to understand my situation. It is really difficult for me to forget the family whom I thought mine and accept others. This is still a shock for me knowing I'm just an outsider. I need time to gather myself and accept the things. I don't want to hurt anyone, not the people who gave everything to my brother and who are related to my Arnav Ji. I just can't. So, please try to understand and give me some time. I will try... to..." tears rolled down on her cheeks.

"Shh... Angel... No need to say anything. No one will force you here. Just relax... shh..." Arnav tried to sooth her

Seeing Saritha coming to them, Akul stood from the couch letting Saritha sit beside Khushi

"Choti... I'm your mother, not any stranger. Please believe me; we don't want to hurt you. I know, we are being demanding with you. But that doesn't mean you will get scared seeing us. Choti... just relax, as Bhai sahib said, take your time. Don't be scared being here. Shyam is here and Arnav also will be here with you. Just be yourself, just live as you lived with your family. No one will force you. And I want you to remember that you have me, you have your mother with you and will have your mother always. Okay? Just relax and live your life as you want" said Saritha holding Khushi's hands in hers. Khushi nodded her head with hesitating smile on her face.

"Naniiii..." suddenly they heard the voice from the bedroom

Everyone looked at the person coming from the room while rubbing his sleepy eyes. That is the moment; the trio – Arnav, Shyam, Aman and all realized they didn't inform Khushi about this particular person. Everyone looked at each other; they don't know how to inform Khushi about this particular person. But to their astonishment, the kid ran to Khushi and hugged her legs shouting "KHUSHI MASIIIII"

Khushi hugged him and turned to Shyam with questioning eyes. She recognized her nephew.

"Bhai..."

"Sorry Pooh, we forget to inform you about him. We are too overwhelmed seeing you alive" said Shyam nodding his head

"But how did he recognize me?"

"He used to ask about you seeing your photos in Arnav's room. As Arnav was sure that you will come to him one day, he introduced you as Maasi" said Aman. Khushi looked at Arnav with gratitude.

After that, everyone chatted for some more time. Khushi didn't understand what she should do – she is confused whether to try to mingle with others or to be with Arnav or to be with her brother and nephew, she is confused. Her thoughts were broke with Suraj's voice

"Okay... enough for the day, you all are looking tired after your journey. Now, go and sleep for some time and take rest. Saritha, let's go to our home. Shyam bring Khushi with you"

"WHAT?? WHAT'S THE NEED TO TAKE HER?" Arnav shouted suddenly being shocked by hearing Khushi leaving the house. He can't lose her again. A sudden fear engulfed his heart thinking Khushi will leave him. Everybody looked at him confused including Khushi.

"Then where will she stay?" asked confused Saritha.

"Obviously here, where else?" Arnav said as matter of fact

"Arnav, she has her home, her family – she will live there" Alok tried to make his son understand

"NO... I WON'T ALLOW HER. She will stay with me, in my house, WITH ME. I don't let her go away from me. NO... NEVER..." he held Khushi possessively by her shoulder.

Everybody looked at him astonished. But only Aman and Shyam understood his fears

"Arnav... she is not going anywhere. She will not go away from you, I won't let her go. She is yours Arnav. Don't be scared about her. She will be here with you, just in your other house. She is not going far. She will be just a phone call away. Don't worry, nobody is taking her away from you, relax..." said Shyam patting Arnav's shoulder.

Everybody understood Arnav's fear and sighed in pain remembering him in the last two years. They thanked the God for sending Khushi back into their lives. They assured Arnav saying Khushi is not going anywhere and she will be with him for sure. After hearing everyone and not able to assure himself, Arnav left to his room not listening to others

"Can... Can I... Can I talk to him?" asked Khushi in low voice. Everyone in the hall except parents smiled understandingly, nodding to their parents to let Khushi talk with Arnav

"Of course you can dear. Go" Akshaya pushed Khushi towards Arnav's room, after taking the kid from her.

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

"Arnav Ji?"

He rushed towards her and hugged her as much tightly as he can, not allowing her to breath.

"Ar...na...v... Ji..." she choked for the air

Arnav left her immediately and held her by shoulders "Sorry Khushi... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you... I'm sorry" he said hurriedly.

After getting her breath, she composed herself and said "OH God... I'm fine Arnav Ji... don't worry, I'm fine... I'm fine" she took long breathes and looked at Arnav's worried face. Smiling at him she said "What's wrong Arnav Ji? Why are you looking worried?"

Without saying anything he hugged her not allowing her to move but enough for her to breath. He held her in his arms as if he lose his hold, she will disappear again.

Sighing deeply Khushi said "I'm not going anywhere and I can't go anywhere leaving you, that too after knowing my place in your heart. I too can't live without you Arnav Ji. Please, I'm trying to adjust here thinking that you will be with me all the time. Don't make it difficult for me. I will not leave you. As they said, I'm going to the house next to yours, isn't it? The house is just next to yours, right?" he nodded his head still hugging her "Then why are you scared? I'm going to that house doesn't mean I will and can leave you. We can meet whenever we want, right? Your dad said, you will be mine at all the times, then what's wrong?" she broke the hug and took his face in her palms. She kissed his forehead "Don't worry Arnav Ji; we will not face that phase again in our life. We both lost so much in our lives, that's enough. Now it's time for us to enjoy our lives. Just give me some time to adjust with this new environment. I need your help Arnav Ji. Will you be with me all the time? Will you help me to lead my life? Will you..."

"Shh... don't... no need to ask anything Khushi. Whatever your question is my answer will be always positive, unless you needed negative answer. But the answer will be in your favor. Sorry for being stubborn. Don't worry... everyone here are really good people, trust me. You will enjoy being here. I'm fine now, thanks for talking with me"

Smiling at him she asked "So, can I go now?"

Nodding his head, he led her downstairs. Seeing him smiling with Khushi, everybody understood the love between Arnav and Khushi. Once again they thanked the God for sending Khushi back to them.

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

It's been two months from Khushi's return. Everyone is elated being with Khushi. The happiest persons are Saritha, Suraj, Akshaya and Akul, and no need to mention Shyam, Arnav and Aman. Khushi slowly adjusted with her new, in other words her old and original family. She started accepting everyone as her own. She started calling Saritha and Suraj as Mommy Ji and Papa Ji. When they asked her to call them as Mommy and Papa, she politely said she will need some time. She also started calling Akul and Akshaya as Mami Ji and Mama Ji. She begins to live her life as KHUSHI – the girl before losing her whole family, full of life, easy going, love giving, worried for others, selfless, innocent and pure hearted. She started to enjoy her life being with everyone in the family with Arnav and Shyam's support. Aman being a possessive brother of her, he pampered her more than anyone else – even more than Arnav and Shyam. Arnav fought with him about this lot of times. Arnav never left a chance to pamper Khushi. Pampering Khushi became a challenge between both friends and BILs. But in between these challenge Khushi enjoyed their pampering.

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

Khushi frown her eyebrows, getting disturbed in her sleep by feeling something on her stomach. She tried to move, but not able to. Feeling the tightening grip on her waist, she woke up from her sleep with a jerk. She was about to shout with fear, a hand closed her mouth trying to hush her.

"It's me damn it..." he removed his hand from her mouth, but still in ready to close her mouth again if she tries to shout again.

"Arnav Ji!!! What are you doing here at this time? What will others think? Oh my God... did anyone see you? Oh God Arnav Ji... what did you do? You shouldn't..." her words stayed in her mouth not coming out, feeling Arnav's lips on hers.

Arnav kissed her for long time. He broke the kiss feeling her need for air. He rested his forehead on her, both were breathing heavily.

"I missed you so much Khushi. I missed kissing you" he whispered

"Hmm" other than no sound came from her

He hugged Khushi tightly not letting her go. Still he couldn't believe that his Khushi has come back to him. He looked at her lovingly and touched her cheeks

"Khushi"

"I'm here only Arnav Ji..., with you..., in your arms. I'm not going anywhere" she whispered back

Suddenly he stood up from the bed and went to wardrobe. He took out blankets and went to balcony. He came back and lifted Khushi in his arms making her gasp.

"Arnav Ji what are you doing? Put me down... I will walk"

"But I want to hold you. I want to hear your heartbeat near my heart. Let me feel you Khushi. I need you" he said huskily letting her know his need

He made her stand on her legs. He sat on the floor of balcony resting his back on wall, pulled her little to make her sit in his lap. He held her waist and rested his face in her crook of neck. He breathed deeply filling her scent in his lungs.

"I still couldn't believe that you are with me. Love you Khushi"

Khushi hugged his head tightly keeping it near her heart.

"Khushi..." he whispered caressing her cheeks

"Hmm..." she replied in trance.

"Khushi... I... I... I want to feel you"

Khushi looked at him smiling. Old memories came back into her mind.

"Do you trust me Khushi?"

"More than myself"

Arnav lied on the blanket properly and asked her to join him, which she did happily. Arnav hugged Khushi closely to him and caressed her waist with his hand. Khushi closed her eyes in pleasure. Arnav made Khushi lying on the floor turning to his side. He rested his body on his elbow, and looked at her feature. He caressed her face registering every inch of her. He kissed her forehead, eyes, temples, nose, chin, cheeks and corner of lips. He rubbed his thumb over her lips making her moan in low whisper. Her moaning did wrong with his control. With overwhelming love towards her, he bent towards her neck and kissed her on her collarbone. He lightly bit there making her hissed in pleasure. Her response to his sweet assault didn't help him much. He took her lips into his for a slow yet deep, mind numbing and passionate kiss. His hand found its way towards her assets under her shirt.

Khushi's trance broke, when she felt his hand near her feminine part near her chest. She held his hand and looked at his dark eyes and nodded her head in no.

"Please Khushi... let me. I need you..." he whispered

"Ar...na...v Ji..." she whispered

"Please" he whispered again near her lips sending shiver to her spine.

She held his shoulders tightly allowing him hesitantly to do what he wanted to. Arnav slowly ran his palm down on her waist and bent to kiss her on her heart.

"ARANV..." before his lips touch her heart, they heard the call. Both looked at each other. Noticing their compromising position, Khushi tried to move away from him hurriedly. But Arnav held Khushi more tightly by keeping his hands on her bare back under her shirt. He nodded his head in no

"But Arnav Ji... someone is calling you. I think... I think its Mama Ji. Oh God, what will we do now?"

Arnav, who is still in trance, moved his hand under her shirt from her back to her neck and pulled her towards him and kissed her hardly. He wanted to leave a mark on her lips, but got irritated with the constant knock on the door. He stood up harshly to answer the person whoever it may be at the door, but stopped by Khushi holding his hand

"What do you think you are doing?"

"What? I'm going to answer the knock", he said irritatingly

"You are not doing anything like that", saying Khushi pushed him in her wardrobe and removed all the setting in balcony and opened the door to see all their family members

"What made you this late to open the door Pooh?" asked Shyam

"Where is Arnav?" Akul's question was straight.

"Bhai, I was in washroom, that's why I couldn't open the door immediately. And Mama Ji, why are you asking about Arnav? He should be in his room right?" she asked maintaining innocent face and trying to not to show her tension in her face, which she failed terribly.

"Khushi when you can't lie to others, then stop trying. We know Arnav is here, I saw him coming here towards your room from the window side. Where is he now?" Akul was little harsh

Khushi showed balcony with downcast eyes. Everybody looked at her and Akul went to balcony to see no one there.

"I didn't expect this from you Khushi. I thought you will never say lie to us, but I was wrong. How can you support Arnav like this? How can you behave like this before marriage? Seeing Shyam I thought you will be as good as him, but I think I need to think about my opinion" Akul said teasingly, not knowing the impact of the words on her. Tears filled in Khushi's eyes. Everybody looked at Akul shockingly. Before anyone says anything, Arnav came out from the wardrobe in full of ASR form and shouted at his father

"ENOUGH DAD... How can you say all these about Khushi? How dare you? I won't allow anyone to say such things towards my Khushi. Not even you guys, I'm allowing you all to tease Khushi that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. Watch your tongue before you say" he turned to Khushi "Khushi are you okay? Shh... relax... they didn't mean what they say... Relax..." he again turned to others "This is the last time I'm warning you all. Don't even try to tease Khushi, if you do, then you have to see me – ASR. I will never allow anyone bad mouthing about MY KHUSHI... MIND IT"

"Arey... I was just joking Arnav, why are getting hyper?" asked Akul.

"No... Akul... this time you are wrong. You shouldn't have said those words" said Akshaya going towards Khushi who is standing beside Arnav hiding herself. Everybody nodded their heads as supporting Akshaya. Understanding which meaning his words gave, Akul turned to Shyam and said

"Shyam, I didn't mean to hurt you all. I'm just trying to tease her. I'm sorry"

"No Mama Ji... it's okay, I will talk to Khushi. She won't repeat this again"

"No need to talk anything to anyone. I know what to do now" said Akshaya, she turned to Khushi and cupped her face "Choti... I never guessed my son will be this desperate to have you in his life. I never guessed he can't control when it comes to you. As a mother, I can't see my child in pain" she said loudly and continued whispering in Khushi's ear "I think you understood which pain I'm talking" making Khushi beetroot red and continued "So, will you marry my son Khushi? Are you ready to spend your whole life with my arrogant son? Tell me Choti... are you ready?"

Khushi looked at Arnav and Shyam. Seeing Arnav's eager eyes and a small nod from Shyam, she lowered her head and nodded saying "Yes" in low voice. Everybody in the room shouted in happiness. They are waiting for this day for long. Akshaya turned to Suraj and Saritha and said "I know about my son, and his changed behavior. I also know you concerned about your daughter. I won't say anything if you reject him. Tell me; are you ready to accept him as your SIL? Can you bear him for your lifetime?"

Saritha came to Arnav and cupped his face "He is my son Akshaya. How much ever he changed, he will be same Chote for us. He will never be rude to us. We know him that much. And he is the only one who brought our child to us. We completely trust him with my daughter. She will not be happy with any other man. We are eager to have him as our SIL" Saritha kissed him on his forehead and hugged Arnav

"Then it's final. Tomorrow I will ask our Priest for auspicious days. I will ask him to select the dates in three to four months. Then we will get time..."

"WHAT THE!!! Three to four months? How can you do this mom? I can't wait that much, I need this marriage to happen as soon as possible. I can't wait to have Khushi for myself. So, ask your priest to select the date in next week" he stopped seeing shocked faces of everyone

"What? Why are you all seeing me like that? I'm not a ghost... I'm just saying what I want. We can't wait for long, what do you say Khushi?" he turned to see Khushi hiding herself behind Akshaya blushing hardly. That is the second Arnav realized what he said. He looked at everyone and turned to slight pink in shy and embarrassment. Looking at his face, everyone burst into loud laughter. Akshaya held Khushi's ear and brought her out from her back and said

"See, what you have done to my son. He is so eager to have you. Do you feel the same Khushi?"

Unable to control her shyness, Khushi ran from there to balcony freeing herself from Akshaya's hands, making everyone laugh one more time heartily. Seeing her retreating figure, Saritha said "Okay... it's already late now, we have to do so many preparations from tomorrow, everyone go and have a proper sleep. Come on, let's go" nodding their heads everyone left from there except Shyam and Akshaya. Shyam walked to Arnav and held his shoulder, but before he could say anything Arnav said "Don't worry Bhai... I will take care of her. She is my life. I will never allow anyone to harm her. I can't let anything happen to her. I can't live without her Bhai. You have my word. You just relax. Don't worry..." Shyam hugged Arnav and whispered a "Thank You" in his ear and left from there while wiping a happy tear from his corner of his eyes.

"Chote..."

"I Love you too mom, but I Love Khushi more. I can't live without her. Sorry for shouting at Dad."

"Shh... I'm not angry with you. I stayed back to take a promise from you. Promise me that you will take care of Khushi well. How much she faced in her life, more than you nobody knows. I want you to erase all her pain and give her all the happiness she deserves. She is an Angel Arnav, don't lose her or don't hurt her. I know she is your life, solace, peace and happiness. I want her to be like this for your lifetime"

"Sure Mom... I will promise you. She will be same till my last breath or even in next births" said Arnav

Akshaya kissed his forehead "Go... she will be waiting for you. Be in your limits. Enjoy her shyness, don't tease her much. And also come home early, if the wedding fixed in near dates, there will be more work. I need you in home to help me. Okay?"

Arnav nodded his head and closed the room door after his mother left from there. He slowly went to balcony to see Khushi watching the moon. The red is still on her cheeks, a small smile lingering on her lips. He went to her and hugged her from behind

"What are you seeing?"

"Our future... beautiful and pleasant future" she whispered.

Arnav turned her back to face him.

"Are you happy with this marriage Khushi? Will you marry me?"

"Of course Arnav Ji... I won't ask anything more than this. I don't want anything more than being with you as your wife in every sense. I need you both physically and emotionally. I need your support throughout my life. I know how the life will be without you in it. I don't want to face that phase again. This time, I can't survive. I need you... you are my life, you are the reason for my existence" with that Khushi hugged Arnav

Reciprocating her hug, Arnav sighed in content. Staying in each other's embrace for few more minutes, Khushi said "Arnav Ji... I think you should go now. It's too late..."

"I will... but not before I take for what I came here"

Seeing confused look in Khushi's face, he said "I came here to feel you. Do you forget that?"

Khushi blushed hard and hugged him tightly hiding her face in his chest.

"No Khushi... not anymore, now I have every right on you to feel you. Come..."

"Arnav Ji... Please..."

"What please?"

"Hmmm" she rubbed her face on his chest.

"Okay... Okay... come it's already late... you should sleep now" he led her towards Khushi's bed and made her lay on the bed. He switched off the lights and joined her on the bed.

Both hugged each other feeling their heartbeats in sync to others. Arnav kissed her forehead, eyes, temples, nose, chin, cheeks and corner of lips. He took her lips into his for a slow yet deep, mind numbing and passionate kiss. He bent towards her neck and kissed her on her collarbone. He lightly bit there making her hissed in pleasure. Arnav slowly ran his palm on her sleeve sliding it downwards and bent to kiss her on her heart. Khushi breathed heavily getting ready for the feel.

"Khushi..." he whispered in her ears as asking for permission. Not seeing any rejections from her, he bent completely and kissed her there for his heart content. Feeling his lips on her most sensitive part, Khushi felt a shiver ran in her spine. She clutched his hair and pulled him more towards her.

Arnav knew he has to stop there. Otherwise, they can't. He lifted himself and captured her lips in his to convey his feelings about a promising future, a protective future, a happy future and trusting future. Khushi also reciprocated the kiss with the promise of togetherness, promise of understanding, promise of lifelong support and promise of unending love.

Arnav and Khushi's love throughout Arnav and Khushi's life.

"I Love you Arnav Ji... I missed you... I love you a lot..." whispered Khushi.

Arnav closed his eyes in a bliss "I Love you too Khushi. I missed you a lot... I Love you..."
