ARNAV

If there's anything important I learnt in my life since I met Khushi, it was that it's okay to ask for help, because sometimes, that's all we need.

As I drove home along with Aman from the airport, I couldn't wait to see her, I felt so excited, so happy, so in love, just like how it should have been.

I never knew how my family had really been affecting my mental health until I started acting weirdly with Khushi, and if I had never asked her to help me, maybe today I wouldn't be feeling this peace that I was feeling now.

I know the path had been tough and when it came to our mental health, we always ignored it thinking it wasn't important but trust me when I say this, it was very important.

The peace I felt in my mind and heart was everything I had been looking for, and I got it only after I asked for help, after I started seeing a doctor and finally this trip that I had with my best friend in the whole wide world.

Going to Spain with Aman and having all those adventures was so great, the both of us had a lot of fun, we visited new places, we did things that we never thought we would do, even those that scared the hell out of us and gave us an adrenaline rush but in the end it was all worth it, because what's life without taking a little risk right?

"I can already see how excited you are to see Khushi." Aman smiled.

"I am, I've missed her so much. As much as the trip was fun and great, I somehow felt that emptiness without her, she completes my life." I said.

"You two should get married already." Aman laughed.

"We will, soon." I nodded.

While in Spain, I had a few sessions with Dr. Roopa and she told me I was getting better, I just had like one or two sessions left and then everything was going to be okay. Once it happened, I was going to ask her to marry me, I couldn't wait for it anymore.

The car stopped outside Khushi's house, I dint know if she was going to be home because I hadn't told her I was coming back, I just wanted to surprise her so I really hoped she was going to be around.

I rang the doorbell and in no time the servant opened the door, I walked in and found her seated on the sofa alongside Aditya.

"Arnav! Oh My God! You're back?" She jumped up in excitement as she rushed to hug me, I smiled as I held her into my arms tightly, and this... this is what I wanted for the rest of my life.

"Surprise." I laughed as I broke the hug and looked at her, she was literally crying. My stupid emotional Khushi.

"I missed you so much, thank God you're back." She smiled while trying to wipe of the tears but more kept coming out.

"I'm back baby, no crying now. Even if they are tears of happiness." I said as I wiped her tears with my thumb and hugged her again, I just felt so happy to be back and have her beside me once again. She was my Cinderella after all.

"Hey Aditya." I greeted him as I broke the hug and walked towards him, we both shook hands as I settled down on the opposite sofa and Khushi sat down where she had been sitting before, right next to him.

"Hey, how have you been?" he asked.

"Great you?" I smiled.

"Great too. Just exhausted, I keep complaining to Khushi daily how exhausted I am." He laughed.

"Just yesterday, he almost cried." Khushi giggled.

"Why were you crying?" I laughed and the conversation went on.

The best part of this conversation was, I dint feel even a little bit of jealousy towards him, despite learning that him and Khushi had been hanging out almost daily, I dint feel any sort of negative emotion towards him, maybe because I trusted Khushi enough and maybe because I was actually healing now. Dr. Roopa was right, I was getting better or maybe I already was, because I don't think this is how I would have reacted some months ago if I found out they were hanging out together.

"Hey, so I need to go. Aman is still waiting for me in the car, but I'll see you tonight? Can you come home?" I asked Khushi as I stood up.

"Of course I will." She stood up and walked towards me.

"Hey before you leave, I already invited Khushi but now that you're here, I can invite you too. I'm getting engaged this weekend and I would like it if you would attend the engagement." Aditya said.

"What? When did that happen? That's good news, congratulations."

"It just happened... Thanks though." He smiled.

I nodded as Khushi and I headed out, once we were out of Aditya's side, I grabbed her by the waist and smashed my lips against hers. Damn I had been dying to kiss her, I missed her so much.

"Wow, you really did miss me dint you?" She giggled as she pulled apart.

"Come home tonight, I'll show you how much I missed you." I winked at her.

"Jeez, sometimes you can be really dirty." She laughed.

"All for you baby. I'll see you tonight." I pecked on her cheek and then headed back to the car, we both waved goodbye at each other and then the driver drove off.

Once we got home, Aman and I headed to our rooms to get some rest, the journey had been tiring and i dint want to be tired, especially tonight, I had a lot of things planned for Khushi.

*****

When I woke up and headed to the hall, I was surprised not to find Aman there, I thought he might have been woken up by now, so I headed to his room to wake him up.

I walked in and he wasn't on his bed either, I just found a note on the table on the side of his bed.

'Going to be out the entire night, have fun.'

I smiled as I read the note, I dint really know where he was going to be, I just knew he decided to leave because he wanted to give me and Khushi some privacy.

I headed to the hall and I sat on the sofa and started looking at the online menu's so I could order something for Khushi and I. Usually I would cook but today I dint feel like, maybe because of the journey.

Just as soon as I had placed the order, the doorbell rang so I stood up and headed to open the door. And there she was, the girl that I loved.

"You look hot babe." I smirked and winked at her. She was dressed in a mini black dress that hugged her body tightly showing all her curves. Damn it, I was already turned on.

"Don't I?" She smirked as she walked in flipping her hair, I knew she wore this dress on purpose so she could tease me.

She sat down on the sofa and the dress lifted itself up a bit more.

"I know what you're doing there." I said as I walked to sit down beside her.

"Is that so?" She looked at me so innocently as if having no idea what I was talking about.

"If it's teasing each other, you know I can play the game better that you."

"Try me, I win this time." She smirked proudly.

"Ahaan?" I just smiled. God! I loved this girl so much and I couldn't even explain in words how grateful I was to have her in my life.

"I have ordered food for us but I guess before it arrives I could teach you a lesson." I said as I put my hand on her leg stroking them, I could see how she inhaled a deep breath as soon as I touched her legs.

"You know, I missed you so much." I moved closer to her face, just brushed my lips slowly, on her cheeks and on her lips and then on her neck while my hands did the rest of the work down there.

"Oh God!" She trembled.

"Yeah, I win." I smirked as I stood up and walked away from her.

"Idiot." She pouted making me laugh. Did I say how much I loved her? Yeah. A lot. I headed to the kitchen grabbed the plates as I set them on the dining table and while I was at it, the doorbell rang, Khushi stood up to go open the door.

"No, you aren't opening the door, no one gets to see you like this apart from me." I said as I rushed to open the door, as expected it was the delivery boy, I took the food and paid him and the shut the door.

"Let's have dinner baby and then we can have fun." I winked at her.

"I hate you so much." She pouted.

"I know you love me."

I unpacked everything and served it on both the plates as Khushi walked to the table and sat down on the chair opposite of mine. As we started eating, I lifted my leg bit up and started running it up and down hers and she looked at me like she would murder me.

"Okay you win already. Let me eat in peace now or I won't let you eat either."

"Really? Try me." I smirked.

"Okay, you asked for it." She said as she stood up and headed to my room, I don't know what she was up to but I knew it was going to be interested.

I took a bite of my food and just then I saw her walking out of my room all naked. She walked back to the table, grabbed her plate and actually sat on the table and started eating so casually. This girl was crazy.

"Shut your mouth, a fly might enter." She giggled and continued eating.

"Why would you do this to me?"

"You started it." She pouted and looked at me cutely, okay I wasn't even hungry anymore, I stood up from my chair and walked closer to her grabbing her by the waist.

"I am hungry Arnav, let me eat." She said innocently.

"Sorry, you aren't getting any food tonight. You get only me." I smirked as I took the plate from her, placed it aside and the picked her up in my arms, she wrapped her legs around my waist as I carried her to my room.

"You have been a really naughty girl."

"Oh, so are you going to punish me?" She smirked.

"Yes. You're going to scream a lot baby. And Aman isn't here tonight so I'm not going to be gentle at all thinking he might here us, you're going to regret doing this to me." I grabbed her face and smashed my lips against her immediately, I dint even bother being gentle or slow, today she was going to have it really rough.

I bit her lower lip a couple of times and the expressions on her face were priceless.

"Oh Arnav." She moaned.

"Already moaning my name?" I smirked as I pushed her to the bed and jumped on top of her, tonight was going to be one hell of a night.
