Part 42 Khushi with Arnav

Arnav waited for Khushi. He didn't let her move from his sight. He followed her wherever she went.

*Why are you following me? * Khushi asked whispering.

*You will fly away... that's why* Arnav replied whispering.

*I won't fly away...*

*I won't trust you...*

Khushi sighed.

*I will be waiting for you. You are going to come with me*

*Where? *

*You should come with me without questioning wherever I go*

*Ok, wait... I will come meeting Jansi ma'am*

*But, two more periods are there...*

*Competition participants are permitted to go home earlier*

*Oh, ok. I will be waiting...*

Khushi went to meet Jansi ma'am.

After Khushi met Jansi, she got ready to go to home. She saw Arnav waiting with his bike at the entrance. She came to him.

*Tell me...*

*Let's go...* he said gesturing for her to sit on the bike.

*I won't sit on the bike*

*May I know why? *

*What will happen if my Babuji sees us? *

*Is there a chance to do it? That will be great...* Arnav chuckled.

She hit him with her bag.

*As per our bet, you have to come to me...so, stop arguing and sit on the bike*

*What will you do if I don't? *

*I will come to your home and will tell your Amma about our bet. She is not like your father...she will surely take my side...right side...or, at least, she will get to know how bold her daughter is...*

Khushi pouted and Arnav laughed.

*Come on. Sit...*

Khushi sat on the bike, giving enough space between them.

*Is anyone going to sit in between us? * Arnav asked teasingly.

Khushi kept her bag in the gap making him smirk.

*Do you think I can't make you come close to me? *He asked teasingly.

*Dare you... I will kill you if you choose a worse road to ride the bike...* she warned.

Arnav chuckled.

*Why this idea didn't hit my brain? * he teased her.

Khushi cautiously kept her hands on his shoulders not to touch his body.

*What an idea...! You can even use your hands as a shock observer...* Arnav smiled teasingly.

*Don't underestimate the women. She can even use her nails and teeth as weapons...*

*Ohhh...*

*I too have nails with enough length to scratch you* she showed her nails, extending her hands forward.

Arnav pressed the break and looked at her nails. When he pressed the break, she moved towards Arnav by the force and banged on his back.

*Good nails...* he said not giving heed to her BANG.

*Why did you press the break? * she asked gritting her teeth.

*Excuse me, madam... how would I stop the bike if shouldn't press the break...? *

*Mischievous...*

*I have not started doing mischievousness yet...* he grinned.

Khushi rolled her eyes and Arnav started the bike again.

Khushi was surprised, seeing the bike traveling in RM's path.

*Are we going to your home? * she questioned.

*Mmmm*

*Are you sure...? *

*Why...? Didn't you expect this? *

*mmm*

*Do you think something about our date? *

Khushi glared at him through the rear view mirror.

*I hope I don't destroy your dream...* he teased her again.

*Stop it...*

Arnav smiled.

*Stop the bike...*

*Why? Don't you want to come to your in-laws? *

*I said stop the bike*

Arnav stopped the bike and looked at her. She got down from the bike and went to the nearby sweet shop. Arnav smiled, folding his hands. Khushi came with sweets and sat on the bike again.

*Not bad... meeting your in-laws with sweets...*

*Shall we go? *

Arnav kicked the bike and geared it up.

They came to RM. Getting down from the bike, Khushi went inside not waiting for Arnav. Arnav rushed to her and walked with her in.

Ratna was having tea with Arvind in the living room. They saw Arnav coming with Khushi. They were stunned, seeing Khushi in their place. Keeping the tea cup on the tea table, Ratna rushed to her. Arvind followed Ratna.

*Khushi beta, you here? *

*She wanted to meet you... see, she bought sweets for you* Arnav said suppressing his smile, looking at Khushi.

Khushi extended the sweet box towards Ratna not reacting to Arnav's tease.

*Come on beta, sit... what would you like to eat? *

*Nothing aunty... it's ok...*

*She doesn't want you to go to the kitchen, leaving her. That's why she doesn't want anything...* Arnav said.

*I will ask Hari Prakash to bring tea...* Ratna said.

Khushi nodded ok.

*Didn't I say? * Arnav said seriously.

Ratna looked at him not understanding anything.

*Do you want tea? * Ratna asked Arnav.

*Of course, I will give Khushi a company* he said.

Ratna didn't know why he looked enthusiastic. Did something happen between them? Khushi also stayed calm without saying anything. What would be the matter? Did she accept his proposal?

Ratna asked HP to bring tea for Arnav and Khushi.

*By the way, how are Shashiji and Garimaji? * Arvind asked.

*They are fine, uncle*

*Garimaji is a nice person...* Ratna asked.

*Amma also tells the same about you, aunty. She likes you so much* Khushi said.

*Don't worry, Mom. Soon, Garima aunty will be coming to our home* Arnav said contently.

Ratna switched her gaze from Arnav to Khushi who was looking at Arnav without any expression on her face.

Hari Prakash came with two cups of tea and handed them to Khushi and then Arnav.

*Do your parents know you are here? * Ratna asked.

Khushi stopped sipping the tea and nodded no.

*Your Babuji may get upset with you if he gets to know your RM visit* Ratna said hesitatingly.

Khushi nodded yes again. Ratna looked at Arnav who was drinking tea smilingly. What happened to this boy? Ratna could understand nothing.

*I will drop Khushi* Arvind asked.

Arnav stopped drinking and looked at him stunningly.

*Why Dad? I will drop her* Arnav said, keeping the empty cup on the tea table.

*Chotte... this is not done. Shashiji may think of us wrong* Ratna said.

*You no need to worry about it, Mom. Khushi loves me so much. That's why she came with me here. See, she doesn't oppose me for anything and keeps silent...* Arnav again pulled her leg.

Ratna looked at Khushi dumbfounded whereas Arvind was damn happy. Did she accept Arnav's proposal?

*Is it true Khushi? Do you love Chotte? * Ratna asked her hesitatingly.

Arnav tried to say something,

*Keep quiet, Chotte...* Ratna stopped him.

Arnav sighed. He knew his drama came to the end. Khushi is going to say Arnav's blabbers are not true. But, to his surprise,

Khushi nodded yes making him speechless.

Arvind and Ratna looked at each other happily.

*Haan, aunty... I love him* she declared, taking Arnav's breath away.

unexpected proposal

*Yes, aunty. I love him...* Khushi declared what was there in her heart.

Arnav who had been blabbering continuously went speechless, hearing her acceptance. He was stunned by Khushi's YES. He didn't expect that... we know that. He was gazing at her unbelievably.

*But, your Babuji is not ready to give your hand to Arnav* Arvind said.
