Part22

Khushi was hell tired of resting for the whole day.... without doing anything... The only work that she did was admiring her husband's cutest actions towards her.

Night.

Arnav saw her sitting on the couch after arranging bed on it. He was displeased seeing that. Khushi looked at him and waited for his further action.

Arnav: Khushi, you are disappointing me.

Khushi(pretending): What I did Arnav?

Arnav: Didn't I say you to take bed?

Khushi nodded yes.

Arnav: Then why are you sitting on the coach?

Khushi: So what if I'm sitting on the coach?

Arnav: Khushi please don't make me fuss...

Khushi was looking at his expression without saying anything.

Arnav(frowning): Why are you looking at me like this?

Khushi(biting her nail): Won't you put me on the bed by lifting like yesterday? She asked lifting her eyebrows, tilting her head cutely.

Arnav was speechless for some seconds. He didn't guess this gesture at all. He reached her smilingly and scooped her in his arms. As usual, she clutched his collar. To her surprise he didn't put her on the bed instead he went to the garden area.

Khushi: where are you taking me?

Arnav: If you so much liked to be in my arms then pleasure is all mine.

Khushi: why I'm thinking that you are doing all these in purpose?

Arnav(smiling): Which purpose?

Khushi: That made me completely dependent on you and making me fall for you?

Arnav: Are you falling?

Khushi: What do you think?

Arnav: you will get scared if I say what I'm thinking. ( he smirked)

Khushi: I won't.

Arnav: Don't be innocent Khushi. You don't know my other side.

Khushi: I'm already watching a pleasant side of my rude friend.

Arnav(chuckled): But I have never been rude to you.

Khushi: yah.... (pause) Do not you have a pain in your hands? Keep me down. We finished around already.

Arnav: I thought to make you sleep in this way.

Khushi was looking at him without blinking.

Arnav(looking straight): If you keep on looking at me like this then I can no longer stay as your friend. He smirked at her.

Khushi: Do you know? It feels so nice to be lifted. It's all seems new. Nobody can do this for me. And no friend is allowed to do this (pause) but only YOU.

Arnav: why I'm thinking that you started liking your husband over your friend?

Khushi: I like a friend in my husband but not more than my husband.

Arnav stopped and looked at her sternly. Khushi tried to get down but she couldn't as his grip went firm. The moonlight is enough to show his facial expression clearly. It was definitely not a friendly one. So intensive and exhilarated gaze. It has that power to make her look down. She lifted her eyelashes slowly to his face. What was he looking for? She felt so strong a few minutes ago in his arms. But now, it makes her weaker than ever. It all seems magic.

She heard him calling her.

Arnav: Khushi.......

Don't know why it passed a quake to her cells. It was that hell husky. Her clutch on his collar tightened which was not gone unnoticed by Arnav. Why the hell he is calling her indifferent tone? Can't he call her as usual? She didn't look at him. He turned towards the swing and sat keeping Khushi on his lap. Khushi leaned on his shoulder.

He pushed the swing slightly by his toes. The effect of night, pleasing moonlight and pleasurable breeze everything made them forgot their own selves. Arnav lifted her chin lovingly. A warm kiss halted on her cheek. His eyes rested on her lips and it melted him like wax on the flame. In no second his lips brushed her's and they consumed their first-ever kiss in the same place where they left it untouched in the previous day. There was no lack of breath. It was so gentle and so delightful kiss. Though it was just a kiss but the havoc it created in their bodies was something intolerable. They felt a kind of pain as well as pleasure. They didn't want to get rid of it. It was demanding them to stay in that pain to feel the pleasure. They were burning in each other's touch. Arnav pulled himself from the killing connection. Khushi opened her eyes sensing the "break". Arnav was reading her expression. She got down from his lap all blushing and ran inside the home. Arnav smiled seeing her blush. As "blush" is the first sign of "acceptance". He sighed in relief. When he entered their room, he saw Khushi was lying on the bed fully covering her by the quilt. He knew she didn't sleep yet. Yes, he was right. Actually Khushi was hiding under the blanket. She has no ability to meet him in the light. "Darkness" helped her to do something to break their friendship. But not now. Arnav controlled his chuckle by biting his lips. He went to the coach to get some sleep which was far away from his eyes. He was relishing the moment without getting sleep. The thing which he dreamt of from the beginning has come true today. At last, they dozed off in the thought of today's memories. 

Next day morning.

Khushi didn't find Arnav in the room when she woke up. She sighed. He would have been in the kitchen like yesterday, preparing breakfast. She rushed to the washroom and came as soon as possible. Though she has no courage to face Arnav, at the same time she couldn't sit back and let him cook.

She went to the kitchen and stood behind the wall. She slowly peeped inside and saw Arnav was in the kitchen. She hid behind the wall as she was hell nervous. She repeated the same action two more times. She closed her eyes tightly leaning on the wall.

Khushi(closing her eyes): Hey Devi Maiya, please give me some strength.

She slowly opened her eyes and got stuck seeing Arnav standing in front of her keeping his hands in both the sides locking her in between. Khushi's eyes popped out and she swallowed.

Arnav: Why are you entertaining me like this?

Khushi: ohhh... i.... she stammered.

Arnav: And tell me, what have I done that you are reacting in this way? He smirked raising his left eye brow.

What the... doesn't he know, what he has done? Khushi tried to get out from his hand circle by bending her head. He blocked her way.

Arnav: Don't you think that you are reacting like am I a villain?

Khushi(with attitude): you are.

Arnav looked at her disappointedly while giving space to her. She took a few steps and stopped. She turned towards Arnav who was plainly looking at her.

Khushi: you are such a villain who overpowered my friend in the name of HUSBAND.

She bit her lips and rushed inside the room leaving Arnav all elated. They didn't play any hide and seek after that and started talking casually something general. It looked so cool. Sometimes friends, sometimes couple. But they believed the day which is going to convert them as husband and wife is not far away. They were waiting to break all the barriers keenly.

To be continued...
