Part 28 Real Couple...

Arnav completed the shooting peacefully that day. He huffed in relief as Akansha didn't create any scene. Arnav packed his things hurriedly as it was 9'o clock. That's when he received a call from Ratna.

"Haan, Mom...?"

"Have you started?"

"Mom, I will be late tonight."

"Do not your shooting get over yet?"

"It's already finished."

"Then?"

"I'm going to meet your BAHU."

"Oh... it's not even two days you had seen her..."

Cutting her,

"Mom...Mom... hold on... I'm going to thank her for accepting me." Arnav said couldn't control his smile.

"Whaaaat! She accepted you.... when it happened?"

"Today morning only..."

"You are worse Chotte... why don't you say that to me before?"

"I was busy in the shooting, Mom. I didn't get time to call you."

"That's an acceptable reason."

"Okkk.... Shall I go?"

"Of course... do you have a spare key of RM?"

"Yeah... I have."

"Have you had dinner?"

"Yeah... I had in the shooting spot."

"Ok..."

They disconnected the call.

Arnav rode the car towards Gupta house. When he touched the GH, he saw the lights of GH been switched off. He stopped the car outside of the GH. The watchman saluted him. Accepting it, Arnav stuffed a few five hundred currencies in his hand. The watchman's face emitted brightly.

He called Lavanya. She attended it instantly as she was watching a movie.

"Hello ASR..."

"What Khushi is doing?"

"She went to her room a long time ago. She may be sleeping."

"Ok open the door."

"Where are you?"

"Outside of the house."

Lavanya rushed to the door and opened it.

"You here?"

"Yeah..."

He headed to the staircase.

"ASR..."

Arnav looked at her, turning his face.

"What?"

"Congratulations..." She smiled.

"For?"

"For making Khushi flat..." she chuckled.

"Not yet... going to be..." He said laughingly and galloped to her room.

As usual, madam was sleeping.

"Here, I'm restless to meet her... see, how she is sleeping peacefully? Don't know how she gets sleep..." Arnav murmured.

He came to the bed and slipped into the same quilt. Khushi was sleeping damn deep. He caressed her cheek slowly. But Khushi didn't react to it. It seems she won't wake up.

"Khushi..." Arnav whispered.

No movement...

"Khushi" He called a little louder.

"Let me sleep Arnav," she mumbled.

"See, who is here to meet you..."

"Who...?" she asked in a sleepy voice.

"Open your eyes and see..."

She slowly opened her eyes. She blabbered, seeing Arnav.

"Arnav...you....?"

"Yes." He tapped her nose.

She sensed his touch and widened her eyes.

"Are you REALLY here?" she asked shockingly.

"What do you mean, REALLY here?"

"I thought..." she stammered.

"...you are hallucinating?"

She nodded yes.

"Like always?" He asked teasingly.

Khushi nodded yes, making him surprised.

"Do you really hallucinate often?"

Khushi again nodded yes. she didn't feel hesitant to say the truth.

"What I do in your imagination?" he asked in a husky tone.

"Totally stupidity, just like what you are doing now..." She chuckled.

"Ohh really?" he dragged her on his chest and hugged her from behind.

Khushi leaned in his chest, holding his hands which were circling her waist.

"Hey..."

"Mmmm..."

"I have never dreamt of that I can even trap a Cynic woman."

"Really... did you trap her?" she pulled his leg.

Arnav looked at her face, tightening his jaws. Khushi chuckled at his expression and about to lean on his chest,

"Didn't I trap you?"

"Han han you trapped me..." She pinched his nose.

Arnav placed his cheek on her head.

"How was your day?" Khushi asked.

"It was a hectic day... totally busy."

"Then you should have gone home to take rest..."

"What I'm doing now?" He asked cheesily.

"You have to go to the shooting tomorrow too. You will be tired and going to doze off in the sets." She teased.

"Let's handle. I will sleep in the gaps of the shots."

"Why do you do that? Go home and sleep well."

"You said I LOVE YOU casually... poor my heart, wants to meet you."

"You met me... it's over. GO."

"You are so unromantic...you know... but people celebrate us as a ROMANTIC couple..." He said dashing his forehead with hers.

Khushi chuckled at him.

"Be careful with Akanksha..." She warned.

Arnav chuckled.

"She is not talking to me."

"That's why you should be careful..."

"Is it?"

"Yeah..."

"Ok..."

"Only six more days are there to shooting get over."

"Not just six days..."

Khushi turned around and looked at him.

"It's Siiiiiixxxxx days." He stretched.

Khushi smiled at him.

"Hey... "

Khushi asked WHAT lifting her head.

"Let's go to RM... you don't have to be here anymore."

"Have you gone mad?"

"Why?"

"What will aunty think of us?"

"She won't think anything."

"Maybe...but I will come to RM permanently only after our marriage."

"Let's get married then..." Arnav demanded.

"After "What shall I name this love" got finished, we will get married," Khushi said.

"Oh no..."

"Until then be quiet like a good boy."

Arnav sighed.

"Now go home."

"Can't I stay here?"

Khushi looked at him raising her brows.

"Trust me... I will do nothing..." he pinched his Adam apple.

"What if you do something?"

"Then I will marry you tomorrow itself..." he said controlling his laugh.

"Are you planning to marry me this way?"

"Path is not important but the place we reach."

"Ohh... good philosophy..."

"Shall I sleep here?"

"Go to the next room and sleep there." She laughed.

"This is not fair."

"Go... or else, I will call Ratna aunty..."

"Please do... I bet she will recommend it to me."

"Good mother..." She chuckled.

"No one could get..." Arnav laughed.

He composed himself.

"Let me hear the three magical words. Then I will go."

Khushi bit her lip smilingly.

"Come on tell me..."

As Arnav didn't expect, she circled his neck and whispered in his ear.

"I Love you..."

Arnav tried to break the hug to see her face. She buried her face in the crook of his neck, not letting him to do so.

"Won't you let me see your face?"

Khushi nodded no, staying in the hug.

"I love you too..." Arnav sneaked his hands around her and kissed her neck, making her flinch.

He caressed his two days stubble to give her a tickling sensation. Khushi broke the hug and cupped his face. Arnav slowly leaned towards her lip and Khushi closed her eyes giving him the permission symbolically. Arnav slightly pecked her lip and said,

"Bye..."

Khushi opened her eyes and snuggled into his chest.

"Bye..." She said staying in the hug.

"Really?"

She tightened the hug and nodded yes. Arnav hugged her smilingly.

"Get cleared soon whether the BYE is real one or not... or else we will meet the dawn together..." He said mirthful.

Khushi broke the hug and pecked his cheek.

"Bye..."

"Really?" Arnav asked pitifully.

Khushi chuckled at him and Arnav smiled.

"Bye..." This time, he really left the place.

To be continued...

The next part is available on Inkitt

Two types of plans...

The next four dayswent swiftly. Arnav almost finished his portion except, two or three scenes. Inthose days, Akanksha was highly irritated about Arnav's involvement with her.She couldn't hold herself from comparing his involvement with her and Khushi.She saw his eyes spoke volumes when he acted with Khushi. But she didn't seesuch emotions in his eyes when he was with her. She felt dejected even thoughit was acting. She wanted to teach him a lesson and separate him from Khushi.
