Part 19 Feelings

Akansha was bowing down in front of Rohit.

"You should have let him tie the mangal sutra the other day."

Akansha looked at him helplessly.

"Being an actress, is that a big deal for you or what? Just can't you think of it as acting? Can't you just throw it away after making Arnav fail in front of the media?"

"I didn't expect he could even think of marrying in front of the media."

"It was purely acting. He brilliantly trapped you in front of the media, asking you to leave the field."

"We know it's acting but what about people? What my fans will think of me? I will lose my fandom if I would have married him and I will lose my respect if I don't keep my words."

"We could have thought about it later. You missed the chance. If you would have let him tie the mangal sutra, the whole story had changed. Arnav and Khushi's bonding getting strong day by day. Arnav is making her weaker. They are decorating the magazine's covers. People want them to get married." He said irritatingly.

"Can't we do anything to break their relationship?" Akansha asked him helplessly.

"We have to do something. Let me thing..."

Rohit left the place.

.......

Khushi was thinking about how she just accepted her love with Arnav to Lavanya. Unexpectedly and unknowingly she fell in love with him. She was so much satisfied with his relationship. She liked his each and every approach. She liked to be with him. She liked to hear him talking about anything. They shared many SWEET NOTHINGS every day. It became their routine. She felt the day was incomplete without talking to Arnav. At the same time, she made sure that she was not getting addicted to him. But she struggled a lot to keep herself controlled. She was so stubborn not to show her weakness to Arnav because she doesn't want to ruin his life nor his career. So, she decided to go away from him.

But... Arnav was not dumb not to understand that. He knew she loves him. He just wanted to make her confess. He was clear about his stance and Khushi's stance as well. He was always ready to let her know his feelings. Khushi liked it unlike before as Arnav was serious about everything unlike before.

Shooting Spot

Aman shot the emotional scene today, the "STARS" scene. It made Khushi emotional. As per the movie, Arnav has to be emotional. But in reality, the scene was related to Khushi. She couldn't hold herself from thinking of her parents. Arnav understood that, seeing her facial expression when the scene shot. She was standing at the same place, looking at the sky even after Aman said PACK-UP. Everyone left the spot except Khushi and Arnav. He expected something like this. He slowly came to her. She didn't turn to see who is coming. She doesn't want to. She knows... she could sense him.

Arnav touched her shoulder softly.

"Do you think about your parents?"

"Badly," She said nodding yes.

"I don't know whether this belief about STARS is true but you can consider it if it gives you peace to your heart"

Khushi looked at him gulping.

"Everything will be alright"

"Alright...? How...? How will everything get alright? My parents worked hard for me. They earned only for me. They sacrificed their life for me. But they were never with me. They couldn't give their time. I longed to be with them which hardly happened. I was always alone even before their demise. And... they left me alone when I want them the most."

Her eyes became teary. A lonely tear slipped from her eyes and rolled on her beautiful cheeks.

"I felt like I have lost everything when my mother died..."

She stopped as she didn't expect, Arnav cupped her face and wiped her tears with his thumb fingers.

"You lost your parents doesn't mean you have lost everything. The new door will open and you will get someone like me" He said gulping down.

Khushi looked at him stunningly.

"Trust me; I will be with you Khushi. I really want you in my life not just as a friend but as my better-half. I will leave the film industry for you, Khushi."

Khushi searched something in his eyes to know whether he is lying. But she couldn't find anything called lie in his eyes. They looked true. Her heart leaned on him to get peace. She slowly closed her eyes being in his hold. Tears rolled down from her eyes. She looked over emotional which made Arnav emotional.

He knew she was stressed. She needs peace of mind. He wanted to do something to remove her stress. In no time, he captured her lip. Khushi opened her eyes jerking. Arnav's warm hands snaked her protectively. Khushi didn't feel to set herself free. Her eyes closed slowly while her hands wrapped him. They shared a beautiful kiss, letting another one know what they feel for the other one. Arnav was completely in his sense but we couldn't say about Khushi whether she is doing this in her sense. Whatever, they shared something which no one could easily do.

They suddenly heard a noise and got separated. Khushi looked at him horrified. Her expression told that whatever happened between them is without her sense. She looked here and there clutching her shawl. Her frowning face and delusional eyes were shreds of evidence of her nervousness. Arnav was observing her expression and he understood her state of mind. But he was not repenting as she does. He is not going to...because he was his sense. He wanted it... he wanted to let her know is feelings.

Khushi ran away from there and locked her room door. She sat on the couch, closing her eyes. How did she allow him to kiss her? Why she didn't stop him when he cupped her face? Why it felt so pleasant to be in his arms. She questioned herself to get an answer... but no... she had no answer then. This is not what she wanted. Her plan was something. She knows his passion for acting. how could she be so selfish? She thought to go away from him. But how could he let her go if she loses herself so easily?

Arnav waited outside her room letting her get relaxed. Changing her dress, Khushi came out. She stopped for a second, seeing him. She tried to go from there but Arnav blocked her way. Khushi tried to move from there. Arnav clutched her upper arms not letting her do so.

"Leave my hand, Arnav." She said looking straight.

"Khushi, listen to me."

Shrugging his hand off, she rushed towards the car.

"Khushiiii...." Arnav shouted from behind. He punched his own thigh in frustration as Khushi didn't give heed to him.

Fever

Arnav has been trying Khushi's number but she didn't respond to his call which irked him to the core. He wanted to talk to her at any cost so he called Lavanya. She saw Arnav's number and showed her phone to Khushi.

"Tell him I'm sleeping."

Lavanya attended the call. Before she said what Khushi taught to her,

"Don't say Khushi slept," Arnav said.
