Part 11 The LAST night

Khushi saw Arnav thinking something.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked.

"I had a lot of plans for our wedding and the night with you. I never thought it would happen this way"

His eyes tear up.

"I'm sorry Khushi... I have no choice than this"

"You don't have to feel bad for it. It's me who put you in this situation. We are together. That's what makes me happy. It's more than enough for me." Khushi wiped the teardrops that rolled down from the sides of his eyes and kissed his eyes.

Arnav smiled seeing her admiring him.

"What are you looking at me?"

"You have very beautiful eyes and eyebrows"

"Really?"

"Yeah...we, girls are trimming our brows in the beauty parlors to make us beautiful. But your brows are naturally beautiful. And..."

"And...?"

"I like your eyes" she kissed his eyes countlessly, making him smile.

He just got to know how much his eyes attracted her.

"Sleep for a while..." He said.

"Mmm," she laid on his bicep. He hugged her comfortably and closed his eyes.

In the meanwhile, Delhi

Aman walked towards his house. Suddenly he got surrounded by policemen. Though he was shocked he managed himself.

" What happened, sir? " he asked as if he knew nothing.

" You are under arrest "

" But why? " Aman acted cool.

" Khushi is missing. We are suspecting you."

"What? Is Khushi missing? Where did she go? Why are you suspecting me if she is missing?"

"It's because we know you are the one who sent her with your friend. And we know you are aware of her whereabouts."

"I don't know about her, sir"

"Come to the police station and tell us whatever you want"

They took him to the police station. Aman got to know that Khushi's father filed a Habeas corpus case.

"Look Mr, her father filed, Habeas corpus to find his daughter. However, she has to be handed over to her father within 24 hours. We have no choice. We will definitively find her. Tell us where she is"

"I don't know"

Aman was taken into complete police custody.

.....

On the other side,

Khushi's cousin sister Neya got a call from her brother-in-law Shiv Shankar who was residing in America. She attended the call.

"What I heard is true?" He asked furiously.

" What are you asking about? " she knew very well what he was asking about. Yet, she didn't react because she knew he was angry.

" Did Khushi elope with someone?"

Neya was silent

" Bhabi, I am asking you something..."

" Yes, Shiv... "

"How could you let it happen?"

"We didn't expect she would do like this"

Shiv Shankar was frustrated. He had been planning many things regarding Khushi. He knew very well about her father Govind's political power and he thought to use his influence for his wellness. He wanted to be powerful like Govind and he was planning to do it by marrying Khushi. But, this girl spoilt everything.

"Shiv... are you there?"

"Let me know what's happening there. Update me, from time to time"

"Ok" Neya disconnected the call.

Neya knew Shiv Shankar wanted to marry Khushi. She also knew it was not for love but something else. She didn't care about it because she also was a caste freak. She wanted to talk to Govind about Shiv Shankar and Khushi's marriage. But before she did that, Khushi eloped with Arnav. Still, she didn't lose hope because she knew Govind will catch Khushi by hook or by crook.

The next day

Arnav went to the town with Bosco to meet a person regarding his job, and he got one. He was asked to join the job in two days.

They came back to the village and searched for a rental house. They found a small house according to their expectation. Arnav booked the house paying the advance. Everything was set for a good start. Arnav came back to Khushi only in the evening after finishing everything. Khushi became excited and started dreaming about her new life with Arnav.

"Khushi..." Arnav called her.

She looked at him lifting her brows like WHAT?

"Let's go..."

Khushi looked at Nancy.

"I will just come" she stood up.

"Go beta," Nancy said.

She came to Arnav.

"Tell me "

"Come with me"

"Where?"

"Come with me and get to know it by yourself"

She walked with him confusingly. After five minutes of walking, they reached a bank of a lake. Arnav saw the excitement on her face and hugged her from her back.

"Wow... This is why you brought me here?"

Arnav nodded yes and extended his hand toward her.

"Let's walk," he said.

Without taking his hand, she circled his waist.

"What if anyone sees us like this?" He asked

"Let them see... Who cares? You are my hubby..."

Arnav dashed her head with his, smiling.

"You like to walk with me on the beach... But, there is no beach in this district. So, I thought to bring you here. Until we go to a beach, keep this memory in your mind"

"I will keep it in my heart... forever..." she smiled pleasantly.

He understood how much she liked to be with him in this place. After spending half an hour on the lake bank,

"Shall we go?" Arnav asked.

"Why so soon?"

"You will become tired if you walk more. It will spoil today's night" he said teasingly.

"Oh... Planning for the second night?"

"Of course, the first night was like trial and error base. My heart didn't get onto it completely"

"Why?"

"Didn't we have fear, hesitation, nervousness, etc., etc.,?"

She nodded yes.

"By the way, what will you do tonight without fear, hesitation, and nervousness?" she asked huskily also with curiosity.

"Adoration... A complete adoration..."

His words chilled her spine. A smile with a cute blush crept on her face. She caressed her forehead with her index finger, closing her eyes, and biting the corner of her inner lip.

"Let's go" he whispered, entwining her fingers with his.

They walked back to Nancy's house. Arnav started humming the song in a feeble tone only Khushi to hear.

"Kuch na Kaho... TONIGHT ( He added) Kuch Bhi na Kaho..."

She felt a tickling sensation in her body.

They reached Nancy's house.

"Bosco said you have found a house..."

"Yes, Didi..."

"That's great..."

"We are shifting there tomorrow," Arnav said.

"Come to our house for lunch tomorrow," Khushi said.

"We will come tomorrow. Now come and eat dinner" Nancy smiled.

Khushi was about to go, but Arnav stopped her, clutching her hand.

"Don't eat much... Then you will fall asleep. Eat little... more to happen"

Khushi shrugged his hand and rushed in. Arnav followed her with a smile. They finished dinner.

As Arnav said, that night went full of adoration. Not only Arnav but also Khushi loved and entitled. Arnav adored her lips, neck, earlobe, and hair, whereas Khushi lost herself in his eyes AS IF THERE WAS NO TOMORROW.

Why did they do so? Why didn't they think they can do it for their lifetime? Why did they show urgency to adore one another? Why did he shower enormous kisses without leaving a single inch of space in her body? They got married... they would be together from here on... then why didn't they fall asleep?

Did they know this situation won't be permanent? Did they feel there won't be any TOMORROW in their life? Did their intellectual minds sense something wrong was going to happen? Or, did the EVIL FATE force them into their complete adoration, knowing that they won't meet for the next twenty years? As if their fate is going to succeed...!

To be continued...
