After spending two good days at work, Khushi was finally back on track with everything so she informed Arnav and they both decided to go out for their first date tonight.

It was actually the first ever date she was going to do to, when she was in school and college she hadn't ever really dated anyone and with Arnav even though she was in love with him, it was kind of an arranged marriage, and also after they were married, they never really went on a date.

She had no idea what dates were supposed to be like, she only knew a bit from the movies she had watched, so she was quite nervous about it.

"You aren't getting ready for your date?" Tara asked when she came back from work and found Khushi in the hall busy reading a book.

"There's two hours to go, why should I be getting ready now?" Khushi asked.

"Because you have to wash your hair, dry it, curl it then put on whatever outfit you've decided, and so makeup, it's going to take more than an hour my dear."

"I am not even sure of what I am going to wear yet."

"And you're a fashion designer. Have you never been on a date before?" Tara joked.

"As a matter of fact I haven't." Khushi replied.

"You're kidding." Tara looked at her in shock, how could she have not ever gone on a date? Were the guys around her blind or what? Why didn't anyone ever ask her out.

"I am not... besides it's a long story I don't want to get to it. You've gone for dates, tell me how it's supposed to be, what I am supposed to do and all that."

"Don't worry, your lucky you have me. Now go take a shower first and wash that oily hair of yours." Tara said.

"As you say boss." Khushi giggled as she stood up and headed to take a shower while Tara went through her closet trying to find her something. Gladly she found a perfect date type dress which she had never seen Khushi wear before, it was pretty cute.

She left it on the bed so once Khushi was done showering, she would know what she was supposed to wear, meanwhile she decided to take a shower herself just to freshen up.

Once she was done showering, Khushi dried up her hair with a blow-dryer and then put on the dress that Tara had picked out. She remembered making this dress at work but she never really had a chance to wear it so it had been lying in her closet all this while, maybe it was meant for this date.

"At least you wore that without complaining." Tara said as she walked back into Khushi's room.

"I had designed it myself, of course I had to wear it someday." Khushi shrugged.

"Wow, I'm getting all my clothes personally designed by you." Tara giggled as she plugged the curling iron to the socket.

"Sure." Khushi smiled.

"Okay, let's curl your hair and then I'll do make-up for you, if I let you do your own make-up, you'll do it all natural." Tara giggled.

"I don't want anything too crazy okay, even the dress and hair feel too much for me already."

"Oh come one Khushi, trust me, Arnav is going to love it. Now how about you let me finish with your hair, so that you don't get late for your first ever date."

"Fine, do whatever you want to." Khushi laughed as she let Tara get her ready for today.

*****

After what seemed like forever, Tara was finally done with whatever she was doing, all this while she hadn't even let Khushi look in the mirror.

It was as if she was excited for this date way more than Khushi was.

"You ready?" Tara asked, her voice full of excitement.

"Yeah." Khushi nodded.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." She giggled as she moved away leaving Khushi to look at herself in the mirror, Khushi was expecting something overdramatic because Tara had been acting like it but she was surprised that it wasn't too much, of course she did put on make up but just something that Khushi would be comfortable wearing.

Also the hair was the best part, it looked so gorgeous, everything went so well together, she was in awe.

"Wow, I actually love it." Khushi giggled.

"I know, I mean I am good at these things." Tara smirked proudly.

"You were right, we did take forever to get ready, I'm sure Arnav but be arriving anytime soon." Khushi said as she looked at the time on her watch.

"Great, you should find some shoes that would go with the dress and wait for him, I'll head to my room and rest now. You can spill the juicy date details to me tomorrow or so." She giggled.

"Sure, as if you ever spill your juicy details with me."

"Not fair." Tara pouted.

"It is." Khushi laughed.

*****

Khushi walked towards the door to open it when the doorbell rang, she found Arnav standing in front of her dress in a dark blue three-piece suit, he looked really hot it in.

"Wow." Arnav said as soon as he saw her making Khushi blush, all this was new for her, even though she had expected it when they got married it never happened, but it was happening now and it was like a dream come true.

"You look beautiful Khushi." Arnav smiled at her.

"You don't look bad yourself." She smiled back.

"So shall we leave? For our date?" Arnav asked, his voice was full with excitement, this date was making them both so happy already and it hadn't even begun yet.

She nodded as she walked out shutting the door behind, the both of them took the elevator downstairs and headed to the parking lot where Arnav had parked his car.

He held the door open for her and then waited for her to get inside, once she got in, he rushed to the other side, got in and started driving.

Khushi sat beside him silently, she dint know what she was supposed to do or say, only if she had gone on at least one date before, she could know what to do.

"Aren't you going to ask where we are going?" Arnav smiled.

"Am I supposed to?"

"No, I mean it's common, you'll tell a girl you're taking her for a date she won't be patient enough until you reach, she will keep asking where you're taking her."

"Well, I don't have any experience with dating so..." Khushi said nervously.

"It's okay... don't be so worried about it, it's just two people going out to eat or do something together to spend time with each other and get to know each other." Arnav said.

Khushi nodded and then sat silently once again until they arrived at the restaurant Arnav had brought her too.

It was such a huge restaurant or anything, it was small but very beautiful, it had both outdoor and indoor sitting and Arnav had booked at outdoor table which was in a garden like area surrounded by greenery and decorative lights, it was beautiful.

Arnav pulled out the chair for Khushi to seat, and once she was settled down, he sat down opposite her, and grabbed the menu from the table.

"What would you like to eat?" he asked.

"Anything is fine, I don't go out to eat much so if you leave it upon me, I'm going to take forever to decide." Khushi said.

"It's okay, I'll order something for the both of us." Arnav said as he went through the menu trying to pick out something for them to eat while Khushi just stared at him.

Sitting here in front of him, meeting the Arnav that she had always known him as just made her feel so good, she couldn't stop admiring him for the beautiful man that he looked like now.

"Why are you staring at me like it's the first time you're looking at me?" Arnav smirked as he looked up from the menu.

"Because I am. At least the Arnav that had always been in my mind, he seems interesting." Khushi said.

"I see." He raised his hand and gestured to the waiter who came rushing to us to write our order and then left, Arnav put the menu aside and looked at Khushi.

"You look so beautiful." Arnav smiled as he continued staring at her.

"Now I'm going to be shy." Khushi blushed as she tried to look everywhere else.

"I like the shy Khushi." Arnav smirked making her blush more until her whole face had literally turned pink.
