Part 54 

Arnav (on-call): Yeah uncle, take sunglasses for you and aunty. Prefer light cotton dresses. Better if you prefer track pants and T-shirts. There are lots of water games, boating, and horse riding... Yeah...

He was talking to Shashi while packing his and Khushi's required things.

Shashi: Garima wants to bring eatables prepared by her.

Arnav: No need uncle, we will get everything from the Milky Way resort. Ask aunty to come with freehand.

Shashi: She is not listening to me... like always...

He laughed and Arnav chuckled.

Shashi: When will you go home?

Arnav: I'm at home only, packing mine and Khushi's stuff.

Shashi: Ohh... Didn't Khushi come?

Arnav: No uncle. Not yet.

Shashi: She would have gotten leave today.

Arnav: No uncle she has to submit her project today.

Shashi: Is today the last date to submit her project?

Arnav: No, she will be tension free if she submitted. Or else, she will be thinking about her project on the trip too.

Shashi: You are not wrong.

Arnav: See you today evening uncle.

Shashi: Yeah we will be there on time.

Arnav: ok uncle.

Disconnecting the call, he continued packing.

Arnav stopped packing, seeing Khushi getting in. She smiled at Arnav formally. Throwing her bag on the bed she sat silently. Was it hard for Arnav to understand she is upset? He sat beside her.

Arnav; Are you alright?

Khushi: Mmm...

Arnav: Have you submitted the project?

Khushi: Mmmm... I got full marks.

Arnav: That's great. I expected that but you should be happy unlike how you are now.

Khushi: My professor asked me about Anu.

So, this is the reason why she is upset... Arnav supposed.

Khushi: I said nothing.

Arnav: Are you feeling guilty?

Khushi: Why should I? What's my mistake? She got punishment for her deed. I'm not guilty. She not only cheated on me but also tried to snatch my husband. A cheater like her won't deserve forgiveness and a friend like me.

Arnav was gazing at her said nothing.

Khushi: Are you watching Rohit?

Though she asked she didn't wait for his reply and continued.

Khushi: Don't trust him. He is not a good fellow. He helped you to trap Anu doesn't mean he will be good forever. Keep your eye on him.

She stood from the bed.

Khushi: Haan... as you said, I have assigned a detective to follow you, not only you but also my parents and your parents. No one can cheat on me. I'm not that old Khushi who trusted everyone blindly. Understood?

Arnav: That's a good idea. It will be better if someone says about us. We will be relaxed as your detective will give a good report on us.

Khushi cried closing her eyes. Arnav stood and pulled her on his chest.

Arnav: Shhh... Stay calm.

Khushi: Arnavji.... i...

Arnav: I said to stay calm.

She hugged him tightly.

Khushi: You won't leave me right?

Arnav: Yeah... I will...

Khushi raised her head and looked at him.

Arnav: Only if I die...

Khushi punched his chest.

Khushi: Don't' talk about death.

Arnav: Then... Could you talk about leaving you? According to my, "leaving you" and "death" are the same. Arnav will be a dead body if Khushi is not with him because you are my breath. Understand that. I won't say TRUST ME. Just be cool, not trusting me. As time passed, you will get cleared if you go with the flow.

Khushi: Are you angry with me?

Arnav: Not at all... when I get married to Lavanya, I was also in the same state as yours. We are normal humans. Some storms came into our lives to make us shatter. But... if you see the effect of the storm on the ground, you will only see the broken trees, demolished houses, and many more destructions. And you can't be calm. Instead, try to see a clear view of the sky. Because damage had been done already. Though we can't change it we can repair it. Just think, the storm cleared your way. You no need to spend your time on an undeserving person anymore. Ok...?

Khushi: I'm scared Arnav.

Arnav: I know... I'm with you.

Khushi: Can't I come out of this stress?

Arnav: why not? If you want to come out of it... you can surely do it.

Khushi: I have a good idea

Arnav: Really?

Khushi: Yeah... I will never get time to think of anything and will get busy.

Arnav: What is that?

He asked her excitedly.

Khushi: Kids...if we get kids then I will get busy. Then I won't time to think of any rubbish.

Arnav: I'm not fine with it.

Khushi: But why?

Arnav: What if you become more insecure? Your mind should be at peace when you carrying a baby. Or else, it will affect our baby too.

Khushi pouted.

Arnav: Complete your exams. Come to AR with me. Let's spend our upcoming days together. Then you will be alright.

Khushi: Won't you take me to honeymoon?

Arnav looked at her raising his eyebrows.

Arnav: Sure...

Khushi: It should not be a short one. I want that long one. I just want to roam holding your hand aimlessly. It won't get end until we get bored of our honeymoon.

Arnav adored her like anything. Is she having these dreams in her mind?

Arnav: Bored? Like really? Will you get bored of me?

Khushi: Won't you?

Arnav: Never.

Khushi: Let's see.

Arnav: I won't get back until I get bored.

Khushi: Then who will take care of AR?

Arnav: Senior ASR will take care of it.

Khushi: Poor him.

Arnav: He and poor?

He chuckled.

Arnav: I never knew you have such dreams in your mind? You never said that to me?

Khushi: There are lots of dreams in every girl's heart Arnav. It will come out at the right time.

Arnav: Ohh... what are there in your mind?

Khushi: I will tell you that on the honeymoon.

Arnav: Suspense?

Khushi: Kind of...

Arnav: Waiting.

Khushi: Ok... we are getting late. Let me get fresh before Guptas arrive.

She went to the washroom. Arnav widened his eyes in amazement, hearing her addressing her parents as GUPTAS. This girl....he chuckled.

Raizadas and Guptas reached the Milky Way resort at midnight. They occupied their respective rooms which they had been booked.

After getting fresh, elder couples didn't take time to sleep whereas our young couple has started to enjoy the trip all alone in their room...in their way.
