                   ***************

Its afternoon and Arnav had buried himself in work but the guilt and pain doesn't go from his heart and let him concentrate. So being highly frustrated he throw the file on desk and shut his laptop with bang. Being tired from all the happenings, he open the side drawer and took cigarette and was going to lit it up when he suddenly saw khushi on the other side of the door. He immediately put cigarette in the drawer and close it. Khushi knocked the door.Till then he composed himself and pretends that everything is fine.

"Come in"

"Hi.." Khushi smiled and greeted.

"Khushi , you here? And how many times I have to tell you not to knock and come. You  just have to enter… you have all right...but you..." He said shaking his head in disbelief that she doesn't change. She bit her tongue and smiled sheepishly.

"Voh… you forgot your lunch and today morning you didn't even had your breakfast so… i am so sorry.. I just forgot after that....um..." She said blushing and take a sit on sofa near coffee table and open the container.

"Its OK...i was in hurry anyway so..." Arnav replied honestly.

"So what did you do after I left? I hope you didn't do any household chores?" He asked keenly observing her expression.

Khushi stop smiling and averted her eyes from him and look here and there.

"WO...woh I just made your lunch." She said with scared face. But seeing Arnav's glare she added "with the help of the maid...I just instructed her how to make because she doesn't know na your tastes so." She replied as a matter of fact.

Arnav was angry with her when she said she made lunch for him when her hand is burnt but after listening whole sentence he feel proud and happy. His heart feels immense love for his angel. He was happy and sad at the same time for hiding about his drinking and smoking habits. He knew he doesn't deserve her but he is too selfish to let her go. He needs her just like he needs his cigar for survival.

"Arnav... You were Right..." After some second she spoke. Arnav's trance was broken by her voice. And he asked with his expression what?"

"You were right...it's you whom I should care about. Today morning we had argument on smoking and you were angry. I realised that I should not tie you and keep poking my nose in everything you do. I TRUST YOU. I DO!! And where there is trust there is no place for doubt or suspecting. I know That you'll never lie to me." Khushi said with her eyes overflowing with immense love and trust for her man.

Arnav was stunned. He feel so guilty that he thought he could smoke one yet he feel so proud that khushi do trust him after his lie. His angel trust him. TRUST HIM. He just repeating in heart this line 'I trust you...I trust you'. And then and there he decide he will do anything to quit smoking. He couldn't lose his Khushi, His angel for a petty issue of smoking.

Taking a deep breath, Khushi resumed serving the lunch. Smile automatically came on her lips.

"Khushi... I...I do..smo..." He stammered. Now he wants to confess it that he do smoke but...

"So I'LL TO SMOKE WITH YOU THEN😣"Khushi said annoyingly.

Khushi cut him of speaking further when he  really decide to tell her but seeing her mood and hearing her reply he thought to change the topic now.

"Don't Khushi....you have all rights to poke your little red nose in my every matters. After all we love each other."Arnav said smirking. Khushi Start blushing and look down. After moment she look up and thin her lips and said "Then prove that you love me too...you didn't respond today morning my..." She left the sentence hanging in midair too shy to complete.

Arnav smile really now and stand up from his sit. And come near her.

"With pleasure" He said looking at her lips.He lean to her and ready to take her lips in his. Khushi's eyes pop out with this and she stop him "wait Arnav "

"What" and then he suddenly remember he did smoke in morning after leaving her and may be he smelling again.

Arnav again take his sit on sofa with disappointed face and Khushi look at his face and realize what she told but its not her intention. So she speak.."WO Arnav ...door is open and your phone too is on...so" she look here and there in shyness.

Arnav relax and chuckle. He close the door with remote and silent his phone too. Khushi's heartbeat picked up its pace and her chest heaving. Arnav held her hand pull her closer while she leaning towards him automatically. She is desperate, too. Just like him.

They near each other lips and finally crashed. Their lips met. Khushi moan and try too respond like him. She stand up slowly and came to his lap and kissed him until she out of breath. Arnav hold her waist when she sat in his lap and kiss her back passionately, exploring each and every nook and corner of her mouth.

After 10 minute they break the kiss to get some air and Both breathing heavily. Khushi looking in his eyes with smile and she saw immense love and desire for her. Seeing so much desire in his eyes she lowered her eyes in shyness😚.

Arnav set her hair one side of shoulder and said "you know Khushi, I have been waiting since the first day I saw you...to kiss you...to love you...But never wanted to make you uncomfortable or pressurize you and didn't try."

Khushi had tears in her eyes just with the thought of how lucky she get Arnav in her life. Who thinks so much about her self respect and her morals. Arnav wiping her tears nodded no.

"You so considerate of me, and I?" Khushi said hitting her head.

"Okay...never mind...better late than never .I will surprise you tonight." She said blushingly making Arnav frown in confusion .

"What...? Khushi what you mean?" Arnav asked confused. What did she mean?

Khushi ignoring his question start serving him." You'll see."

Arnav nod his head in denial sighing "Khushi you don't need to do anything. I don't want you to do this until you are comfortable. I can wait."

"But what if I want to?'' Khushi asked.

"In that case how can I stop you." He said smirking. "But don't try to surprise me extraordinarily. Coz I love the way you are. So cute, innocent, some time dumb yet intelligent and brave, my small town girl." He said flickering her nose. Khushi Rubbed her nose and pout with angry face.

"Bye... eat yourself. I'm going." Khushi stand up and try to leave. Arnav chuckle and hold her hands.

"Open the door now." She commanded. But Arnav pull her in his lap.

"I won't eat unless you feed me with your hands." Arnav said caging her in his arms.

"I won't. You don't need me I guess, so open the door and urgh...let me up." Khushi gritted out whilst trying to loosen thee hug and struggle to get up.

Arnav loosen his hold on her and said "So you won't feed me?"

Khushi look away pushing him and nodded in a no.

"Are you sure?" He again asked. Khushi feel some disappointment and hurt in his voice.

"OK..I will...but only if you let me do as I like without pointing at me or stopping me." Khushi said in a business like tone.

Arnav scrunched his nose and raise his eyes and thought to back out coz khushi can do something crazy like her nature, "No...no...you can go. I won't stop you." Arnav stand up and sit down his chair and start his work with sulky face.

"Take the tiffin. I'm not hungry." Arnav said not looking at her doing his work in laptop. Khushi feel sad for making him angry and thought to pacify him. But Arnav look at her standing like That, understanding he take the remote control and unlocked the door and got back to his work.

Khushi gasp and turn to him. She came to him and put his files away .
"What the!!" Escape from his mouth automatically. And he look away but

She sits on his desk and don't let him look away. Arnav sighed and frowned, "what?"

"You Angry?" Khushi asked childishly. Khushi come to him kneeled down and cup his face. That position look some compromising from some distances and Aman comes and sees her kneeling to Arnav. Khushi gasp and shocked after sudden interrupt and their position. She straightened herself. Arnav saw Aman looking at khushi and khushi averted her eyes looking here n there.He stand up and take a file from him which he holding.

"Aman, I'll just come..you just wait outside. "Arnav ordered him with strict voice. Aman nods smilingly and Goes not before looking at Khushi. Arnav close the door and turn to her.

"You wanted to go na?...Go and take this food too." He said in no nonsense tone that khushi eyes filled with tears. Arnav sighed and made her sit on his chair.

"Khushi... Stop crying. You know na I can't see you crying. I hate tears in your eyes" he said wiping her tears." I will eat. You do whatever you want.OK"

Khushi look up at him and nodded ,"you won't get angry on me for touching your things now on. Promise me." she said forwarding her hand. Arnav look at her are-you-serious look. She twisted her mouth and shake her hand in front him.’’ Of course I won't. When did I ever? Whatever you mean. I promise. I won't mind you touch MY ANYTHING." He wipe her tears and kiss her cheek. She smile at that.

"So everything what belongs to you is my responsibility now. I will take care of your everything and you won't stop me from touch your pants or cleaning your wardrobe and things. I will shut you up if you do that." She said warningly. Coz Arnav always got angry when she touch his wardrobe and pants n other things because there he hide cigarette packets and he don't want to saw her.

"I said na I won't. YOU HAVE ALL RIGHTS ON ME AND MY PERSONAL THINGS." Arnav said with his famous smirk. And empathizing personal things.

Khushi eyes pop out Seeing his smirk and smile and understand his double meaning." Eat your lunch yourself. Dinner on me." She said making faces.

Arnav frown and rolled his eyes
She ran out chuckling and stumble when Aman try to hold her but she steady herself. And goes looking at him once. Arnav get a call and he don't eat lunch and go to meeting. He do the meeting and go to home in the evening. But he smoke before getting in the car and coming out. But spray his mouth with freshener before ringing the bell. He feel dizzy.

Khushi heard doorbell and open the door with her beautiful charming smile. Arnav was stunned seeing her in saree, It was a Black saree which he has gifted her. Simple yet elegant saree with open hair and just Kajal in her eyes and red lipstick adore her so much. She is looking like heavenly angel. Arnav looking at her like he will eat her up  then n there. Khushi noticing his stare on her never blinking his eyes once look down with blush. Than she remember he is not coming in so she shake him and let him in. She take his bag and put it aside and stand in front of him. She muster some courage and kiss him on his lips but frown tasting meant. But she let it go. Arnav smile noticing her effort and admire her.

"You look beautiful"

Khushi blush and said "Thank you"

But suddenly Arnav feel dizzy and not able to stand more he sit on sofa and held his head.
