ARNAV

I am seeing her after 1.5 years. It is a long period because we never separated from each other since her birth. From the time she is born I am with her like a shadow and also like an armour. I started walking towards her slowly. This mere distance between us is killing me. She is changed so much. She is not that little kid anymore. She is a fully grown up women now. Her flawless skin, her hypnotising hazel eyes, her full plump lips, her waist length hair, her silky-smooth skin. And above all that she is wearing a saree that too my favourite colour. She is looking stunning in the red saree.

Argh! Get a grip Raizada.

She became a gorgeous woman. That thought created a little possessiveness in my mind. I don't anyone to cast evil eyes on her.

Nope, I will not let anyone to look at her that way.

I saw her looking at me without blinking her eyes. I already know this will be her reaction after my surprise visit. I move towards her and stand in front of her. I don't know why I can't stop looking at her. I want to hide her from the world in my arms. Argh! Again, what am I thinking? I was longing to see her past 1.5 years and now when she is standing in front of all her attention, I am thinking all this crap.

I smirked at her seeing her reaction. She didn't even blink once. I took one more step towards her and stand just a few inches away from her.

Hi.

Even after saying hi, still she is standing like a statue. I smirked knowing what I have to do. Whenever such a situation arises, I always do this to her. I pinched her to let her know I am is real. And my tricked worked. She hissed and looked at me with wide eyes. Finally, she recognised I am real.

I smiled at her. She looked at me astonished. Maybe seeing my smile. I never smiled at her after that incident. I did what I craved to do from 1.5 years. I inched closer to her and took her in a bear hug. I know I am giving surprises after surprises to her. I unintentionally buried my face in her hair to make my heart confirm that she is indeed with me. She smells like lavender. Oh God! This is heaven, she in my arms. I felt her shivering in my arms. I felt proud of the effect I have on her. I don't know what is happening to me. Whatever is happening, it changed me in a good way. Why is she not hugging me back? I once again tightened my arms around her, which gave me the desired result. Slowly she wrapped her arms around my shoulders. I felt a shiver run down my spine when she did that. I told na, whatever is happening with me it gives me a positive vibe. I am happy with all these things, I am feeling like I am someone else, not ASR and I am not feeling bad about it. I feel contented. I feel complete.

KHUSHI

Kya ho raha hain yeh sab?

(I don't know what is happening?)

Yeh, Annav yahan kyun aa gaya? Voh bhi aaj.

(How come Annav is here? That too now?)

Aman bhaiyya to kal aane wale the na.

(Aman Bhayya is the one who was coming to pick me up tomorrow na?)

Lagtha hain mein sapna dekh rahi hoon.

(I think I am daydreaming).

Lekin meri badthi dhadkanein kuch aur keh rahi hain. She clutched her heart unknowingly.

(But heartbeats are telling something else).

Hey Devimayya! Koi sun na le.

(Hey Devimayya! I hope no one will hear it beating so loud).

Chup Khushi. Tu bhi na. Itni tez music chal raha hain koi nahi sunega.

(Shut up Khushi. How can someone hear your loud heartbeats that too when loud music is on).

Hey Deyimayya! He is coming here only. Why is he smirking?

And why is he staring me like this? Pehle toh kabhi aisa nahi dekha tha.

(He never stared at me like this before).

Hey Devimayya! Humein bacha li jiye.

(Hey Devimayya! Please save me).

He walked towards me and stood in front of me with expressions which I am not aware of. He said, "Hi".

"Hey Devimayya! Why is he speaking like whispering that too in such an environment?

I looked at him without blinking my eyes, because I am afraid, he will disappear if I moved my eyes even a second away from him. He smiled at me.

Hey Devimayya! Humein toh ab pakka patha hain hum sapna dekh rahi hain.

(I am absolutely sure that I am dreaming only).

He took a step closer to me sending chills down my spine. He pinched me, the slight pain says that I am not dreaming. Realization dawned on me. He took one more step and now is standing mere inches away from me. I am not able to breathe properly because of his close proximity. I hope he will understand my plight. He again inched towards me and took me in a bear hug. I felt a shiver when he hugged me like that. He nuzzled his face in my hair making me more vulnerable and my heart is beating like drums. Suddenly, he tightened his arms around me. I know what he is signalling by it. I slowly raised my arms and wrapped around his shoulders. I felt some change when I hugged him. The feeling is not like before when I hugged him without his permission. Now, it is different. Does he also feel like what I am feeling now? Does he also feel like electricity passing through his veins as I felt? I don't know what is happening now. I want this moment to stand still. I am not understanding what is happening, still, I want to cherish the moment.

The loud shout from the crowd makes them realize that they were hugging each other for quite a long time. They both broke their hug and looked at each other to convey through their eyes that how much they missed the other. Another loud shout from the crazy youngsters broke their eye lock. Arnav held her hand gently and dragged her towards the exit. He doesn't want to waste any more time. He led her towards the corridor. She slowly followed him in a trance. They both were stopped by a person who was calling Arnav's. Khushi immediately withdrawn her hands from Arnav's grip. Though Arnav was not happy still he didn't protest.

Mr Raizada...

It was Khushi's dean. They both greeted each other by shaking hands. They both engaged in some casual talks where Arnav informed that he is here to pick up Khushi. He said that while staring at Khushi. Unable to meet his eyes, she looked down at the floor. His gaze was creating havoc inside. Dean suggested Khushi go to her hostel room and bring her luggage downwards. She nods her head and moved towards her hostel without looking at Arnav. He was continuously gazing at her all the time. Arnav frowned thinking how the Dean spoiled their moment. They both slowly walked towards the entrance of the hostel after their talks where Khushi is already ready with the luggage. The moment he looked at her, she shifted her gaze towards the opposite direction.

Till when you will avoid me? He smirked thinking about it.

A helper loaded Khushi's luggage in Arnav's car. Khushi bid bye to her warden and Dean and hopped in the car to avoid Arnav's stare. Arnav also bid bye to the Dean and sat behind the wheels. They drove towards their destination while stealing glances of each other.

He is desperate to talk to her. But, seeing her looking outside the window and ignoring him he thought to give her some time.

Khushi was enjoying the cool breeze that was coming from the window. She is thinking about the changes in the person who is seated beside her. She knows he is continuously stealing her glances. She doesn't know what happened to him? Her thought broke when Arnav took a sudden break which caused her to hit with the dashboard. To prevent her head to hit with the dashboard she used her hands to clutch it which caused her hands to hit with the dashboard. It broke her bangles and one such broken bangle pierced through her skin which caused her hiss due to pain.

Arnav looked at her shocked seeing what had happened. He put the break suddenly seeing a drunken man crossing the road without noticing the car. But when heard the painful moan coming from the opposite person, he knows he hurt her unintentionally. Panic arose in his heart. He saw a broken bangle pierced her skin, seeing her in pain cause his heart to clench in pain. He regretted being the cause of her pain. He got angered seeing her not wearing the seatbelt.

Pagal ho gayi ho kya? Why are you not wearing seatbelt dammit?

She looked at him with wide eyes. A lone tear escaped from her eyes. He closed his eyes seeing her tears. He quickly removed his seatbelt and move out of the car. He walked towards her side and opened her side door. He gently took her hand in his, she tried to withdraw her hands and but he didn't let her.

Mujhe dekhne do?

(Let me see).

She knows fighting with him is useless. So, she let him do whatever he wants. He cleaned her wound using his handkerchief.

 She hissed in pain and closed her eyes. He looked at her and moved his face towards her injured hands to remove the broken piece of the bangle. 

He gently removed it with his lips (like in IPKKND). She once again hissed in pain when he removed it. She tightly shut her eyes. He looked at her beautiful face admired. She was breathing heavily. He doesn't know what is happening to him. Here she is in pain and he is admiring her. He gulped not understanding what he is doing.

Rabba ve.....Rabba ve......

Ho gaya.

(It's done).

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. 

Rabba ve.....Rabba ve......  

She was unable to tolerate his strong gaze. She looked down at her injured hand. He immediately took the first aid kit and bandaged her wound. All the while both were stealing glances of each other.

Rabba ve.....Rabba ve......  

Precap: Night is still young.
