Chapter 8

His blood boiled in anger. He had monitored their movements in these passed two weeks. When Arnav and Khushi shifted to Hawaii they had unexpected baggage that tagged along with them and that was Shyam. Yes Shyam followed them to Hawaii. He was upset overt the fact that Khushi had chosen Arnav and wowed that day its self that he would create problems for them and would take Khushi away and make her his. He was tracking every movement of theirs and was seeing how Arnav was getting close to Khushi and how she was reacting to it. Unable to take it any more he decided to come up with a plan. To kidnap Khushi and take her far far away.


Meanwhile Arnav was on his way home when he got a call from her. Arnav switched on his blue tooth and spoke through it.

Arnav: Yeah Khushi...... Relax I am on my way home........ What the !! Khushi whats wrong with you....... Ok I am on my way I am coming just dont panic ok.

Saying that he put the phone down and rushed back home. It seems Khushi had fallen while she was standing on the stool. It wasn't a heightened stool and she just sprained her leg but still it was dangerous in her condition. He was a bit nervous. His mind kept saying something will happen to the baby but his heart told him to remain calm and see what the matter is.

He reached back home and then in a hurry he rang the bell 10 times. Carlata came to open the door he ran passed her and went up the room to see Khushi sitting on the bed with Ice pressed on her foot. She seemed fine. He walked over to the bed and sat next to her gripping her shoulders he became hysterical

Arnav: WHat the hell is wrong with you.

Khushi: Oho Arnavji its just a sprain chill.

Arnav: Seriously Chill !! (he shot back at her with anger and cupped her face with a frightened look) What if something happened to the baby. What if something happened to you. (he looked at a confused Khushi and then said) You are my family now and this baby is everything to us. What if I had lost you then what

Khushi: (cupped his face back and said in a soft tone touched by what he said) Arnavji I am right here nothing will happen to me (she took his hand and then brought it to her belly placing his hand there she said) Our baby is fine I promise. I called the doctor the minute I fell because I was also worried about the baby. She told me not to panic, She came home and checked me and said that the baby is fine. Thats when I called you.

She explained Arnav let out a huge sigh of relief. He relaxed a bit and his stress lines disappeared. Then he looked at Khushi and said to her.

Arnav: Look there is no need for you to do the house work. Thats why I recruited for help.

Khushi: Arnavji I am fine dont worry I like to do the house work

Arnav: Khushi no you wont ok. Cant you see you will harm yourself more. Its my final word.

Khushi just pouted cutely and nodded at him. She loved the caring nature he had for her it turned her on more. Arnav seeing her pout found her adorable oh how he wanted to kiss that pout away. Then he said

Arnav: Khushi there is one more thing

Khushi: Tell me (she asked him with a smile)

Arnav: Khushi I dont want you to wear salwars any more

Khushi: (confused) But why

Arnav: Look Your pregnant and you should where loose clothes. I have bought you long dresses that will be comfortable for you. And they will be perfect for this weather

Carlata brought in the dresses and laid them and on the bed and Khushi opened her mouth wide and then said in a shocked tone

Khushi: But Arnavji how can I wear this I mean its so open.

Arnav: It will be fine look you should wear dresses like this ok. We are in Hawaii not India that you have to wear these salwars. I think you would look nice in them and also it will be comfortable for you and the baby

Khushi thought for a second and then decided that he was right. They were loose and it was quite hot she knew they would be comfortable and also she was pretty touched when he said that he would find her good in those.

The night passed by Arnav and Khushi went to bed. Khushi insisted to stay awake she wanted to watch a movie but Arnav put her to bed she was dying of sleep and like always they both slept on their sides of the bed but as the night passed they landed up in each others arms nice and warm.

Chapter 7

It was early morning the birds chirped waking up to the rays of the sun. Light filled within the room, both the figures on the bed seemed to be in deep sleep both at peace and feeling warm and safe. What they didn't know was that during the night as sleep took over they rolled close to each other and created a warm embrace for themselves. Khushi lay flat on her back. Arnav had an arm around her his hand on her tummy. They were cuddled up in a warm quilt. Khushi had a small smile on her lips and Arnav was just at peace feeling safe that his family was close to him. He may not have considered Khushi as a wife but he defiantly considered her as his. She was part of him of them. He did love her a lot and he realized it the night they lost control. He just hadn't verbally told her yet. He hoped she would understand after all he wouldn't just loose control and have a baby with just any girl. She was special.

Khushi also was madly in love with her Laad governor. She always new that she loved him right from the start. Too be honest she was glad that she didn't marry that Shyam he was a weird creep she only tolerated him for her parents. Her heart always belong to Arnav. But she was too scarred to tell him that because he never wanted marriage and for her marriage was the ultimate way to express love. She just prayed to devi maya that their baby always keeps Arnav and her bonded to each other. Their baby was going to be a real princess and it was going to be their princess. 

Arnav shifted a bit with the sun light bothering him, he opened his eyes half sleepy half groggy. The first thing that he saw was the angel who was sleeping next to him. She was fast asleep her hair all messy her eyes closed her lips looked so plump. She seemed to be at peace. He could see a small smile playing on her lips. Oh how he wanted to claim them. His eyes went on her tummy to see his baby he lightly tapped her tummy to greet his baby a good morning. Then he realized that his hand is been on her tummy since the time they fell asleep. Slowly he moved it and noticed the expression on her face became gloomy and irritated. Like some one has taken a little child's favorite toy. He moved the locks of hair from her face and then placed his hand on her tummy again. And it didn't even take a second for her smile to return back. Arnav raised his eye brows in surprise. This girl was really something she was mad crazy funny cute annoying and cranky all at once. She was an entertainment package for sure. He chuckled at that thought. Flash back of last night how she drove him mad for ice cream came to his mind. 

Khushi could feel movement on the bed and she woke up with that. Opening her eyes slowly the first thing she saw was Arnav looking at her sleeping. He looked adorable she smiled at him. Then realization dawned on her when she felt him so close to her. She got up and sat on the bed. Arnav followed her and sat up too. Khushi grabbed her dupatta and put it over her shoulders blushing continuously. Arnav said 

Arnav: I am going for a bath I will be late for office 

Khushi: nodded and then Arnav left the bed and headed off to the bathroom. Khushi went down to prepare his coffee and her tea. Carlata the help told her that she would prepare the tea and coffee but Khushi insisted that she would do it. She wanted to make coffee for Arnavji with her own hands. Arranging the coffee and his toast on the tray she walked up to the room and opened the door placing the tray on the coffee table she was going to leave when suddenly she banged into a hard exterior. She looked up to see him. He had just come out of a bath. The towel around his neck he looked down at her. He was shirtless his hair was shinny and wet. He looked so hot Khushi's insides started to dilate, she felt warmth within her system. Arnav looked at her for a good 2 minutes she was beautiful when she blushed. She hesitated and then said 

Khushi: I... I made coffee and toast for you 

Arnav: Why did you, You know your not suppose to work 

Khushi: Arnavji Its ok, I just felt like making so i did (she said with a glowing smile)

Arnav: (smirked) hmm ok. come lets go down. We can eat brake fast at the pool side like you like to

Khushi smiled and then took the tray down. Arnav followed her. He was really happy she prepared breakfast for him. He could see she did it out so much love thats what counts the most.

They had breakfast and then Arnav left for office. But before he left he gifted her an unexpected surprise. When she handed him his watch and coat he leaned in and kissed her cheek saying good bye to her. Khushi shut her eyes feeling his lips on her cheek. She smiled and he saw her reaction when she opened her eyes she saw him look at her with a smirk she blushed furiously he said bye once more and left for work.

Khushi was glowing after that even more. She was so happy she hummed away all day. Her heart jumped in excitement. Arnav may be very khadoos but she knew when he was soft he was the most softest person ever. She loved him so much. She decided that she would cook dinner for him too. His favorite Aloo puri.

Today was indeed a good day for both of them.

Meanwhile Arnav was in the office. He spoke to the land lord of Raj's shop and bought the shop off. They had to renovate the shop. Arnav decided to start a clothes line and call his new showroom "Khushi" specially named after the love of his life and the mother of his baby. The line would consists of brightly colored clothes. Crazy designs and fun frisky use of patterns, they would consist of dresses. Long dresses summery ones perfect for the Hawaii weather.

He also made a note he needed Khushi get out of those salwars. She was pregnant those salwars must be uncomfortable for her. She would be more better off in long dresses. Loose tee shirts and airy clothes. he knew she would crib to wear these clothes but he was make sure she wore them for her comfort, and also he was sure she would look extremely beautiful in them.

Arnav and Khushi's life was getting well adjusted in Hawaii. But little did they know they had a hurricane approaching their little world or love. Would they be able to make it through stay tuned to find out what happens next.

Chapter 6B

They walked on the streets at night looking for an ice cream pallor that sells kulfi at 2:30 at night. Arnav was certain they wouldn't find a place but for khushi's sake he agreed to come. If he knew her he knew that she wouldn't stop until she got her kulfi. They walked along the quite beach as the waves pulled into the sand creating soft noises. The moon shone brightly and it looked magical.

Arnav: Khushi we are not going to get kulfi here ok. This is not India

Khushi: I dont care Arnavji I need it and I need it right now.

Arnav: (rolling his eyes) You are crazy

Khushi: Arnavji just you wait and see if you look hard you can find god also.

Arnav: Yeah right

They argued for a little while, while walking when suddenly Khushi saw some shops one of the shops shutter was still open and the light was still on. She said excited

Khsuhi: (pointing to the shop)Look there is a shop there, Lets go

She went running Arnav went behind her trying to slow her down he said

Arnav: Careful Khushi go slowly.

She slowed down and then they walked into the shop. There was a man in the shop. Khushi looked at him and didn't know what to say. Arnav came behind her and then she nudged him. He rolled his eyes and then said

Arnav: Excuse me, do you by any chance have some Kulfi

Man: (smirked) You look Indian.

Khushi: Are you Indian too

Man: Yes I am  My name is Raj Pandit (he smiled)

Arnav: (was getting irritated) Sir do you have any kulfi

Raj: Yes we do

Khushi: (excited) You do (he eyes sparkled)

Raj giggled and opened the fridge and opened the kulfi and gave to her in a plate.

Khushi: (glowingly said) Thank you so much (she looked at Arnav and then said) See what I told you dundhne se khudha bhi mil jata hai

Arnav rolled his eyes she took her ice cream and went to the table and sat herself down. while Arnav payed at the counter the man asked

Raj: Is she pregnant

Arnav: (puzzled) Yeah, but How can you tell

Raj: (chuckled) My wife is pregnant to. She use to have crazy cravings I had to drive half way across town to get her noodles from a particular place.

Arnav: Women (he said cheekily)

Raj: So are you new to Hawaii

Arnav: Yes we are, just moved in a few minutes back.

Raj: You are going to love it here. It is the best place to live. I am really going to miss this place

Arnav: Miss it what do you mean (he asked puzzled)

Raj: Well I can't pay the rent any more the land lord is throwing me out and We are leaving for India then

Khushi who was hearing all this started to well up in tears. Arnav looked around at the place. It looked big enough. There were two floors and then suddenly an idea struck him and he asked the man

Arnav: What if I want to buy this place

Raj: What do you mean

Arnav: Well I am actually looking for shop space, I want to start a boutique here, This place looks perfect

Raj: You would have to talk to the land lord for that (he said sadly)


Arnav: (put a hand on his shoulder and said) look I was thinking of opening a boutique. My name is Arnav Singh Raizada owner of Ar Companies. I wanted to start a boutique, but this place is too big for that. So I was thinking how about I have my boutique on the first floor and on the upper level you can have a little caffe.

Raj: (smiled and said) Sir that would be great I mean I dont no how to thank you.

Arnav: (smiled and said) Its ok. Look Tomorrow I will come by and we can discuss further.

Raj smiled and then Arnav said

Arnav: BTW how how much for the kulfi

Raj: Its on the house

Arnav nodded and then went back to Khushi. Raj left the two alone he was on the phone to tell his wife about the offer.

Khushi smirked and Arnav said

Arnav: Before you say anything I did it for AR ok

Khushi: (smirked more) Ok Arnavji

Arnav: (rolled his eyes more) Seriously Khushi its good for the company

Khushi: See that Baby your father does have a soft side (she said patting her time)

Arnav: (found that adorable but didn't want to show it so he tried hard to shop his smirk and said) Eat your kulfi

Khushi ate her kulfi. She was enjoying every bit of it. Making noises and moaning. Her eyes were shut. Arnav looked at her so closely he had to admit that he was turned on by her a lot. Flashback of the night that they had sex came to his mind. The way she moaned for him. Khushi had the ice cream all per her face. When she finally opened her eyes. She saw Arnav look at her and said

Khushi: What

Arnav just nodded and said in a hurry

Arnav: Are you done

Khushi nodded she wiped her mouth with the tissue papers, Saying by to Raj they left the Ice cream shop and walked back home.

When they got home Khushi was really tired and she was ready to go to sleep. It was now 3:30 am. Arnav said

Arnav: I will be in my room, I hope you dont have more cravings (he asked raising his eye brow)

Khushi nodded saying no. Arnav was about to go up when she held his hand and stopped him. he looked back confused at her and then she said in a soft voice.

Khushi: Arnavji there is one more thing

Arnav: What (he asked a bit scared)

Khushi: (hesitated) I can't sleep in the dark (she said looking down at the ground like a little child)

Arnav: (smirked he was expecting this but the way she said it just made him want to hug her tightly he said in a soft husky voice) FIne come sleep in my  room


Khushi: (eyes widened and she said) In your room

Arnav: Yeah where else (he said raising his eye brows)

Khushi: YOu would let me sleep in your room (she asked shocked) But why

Arnav: Khushi i can't let you suffer alone ok. I know ur scared of the dark so stop your talking and come to my room. I am sleepy (he said quickly)

Khushi nodded like a child and grabbed her pillow and blanket and headed to his room to sleep. She was conscious at first but quietly slipped into bed besides him. He covered her with the blanket and then said to her

Arnav: Are you ok, can i turn of the lights.

Khushi nodded a bit scared he switched off the lights and then laid down on the bed next to her. There was silence in the room Khushi's eyes were wide awake she wasn't getting sleep. She seemed to be in deep thought. Arnav too was not getting sleep he tried reducing the ac, turned the other side nothing seemed to work. Giving up he lay flat on the bed looking up at the ceiling. An aquard silence until Khushi said in a soft voice.

Khushi: Arnavji are you awake

Arnav: Hmm

Khushi: Are you also not getting sleep

Arnav: Hmm

Khushi: Arnavji

Arnav: Hmm

Khushi: Will you stop hmming (she winned)

Arnav: (turned sideways on his pillow, he looked at her and said) Aren't you asking for too many things today (he raised his eye brows)

Khushi: (eyes widened and she hesitated) I... I...

Arnav: (chuckled) Its ok, your pregnant i understand (he shifted the locks of hair from her face behind her ear)

Khushi left out a breath and then said in a soft voice.

Khushi: Thank you (she turned to him and gave him her best smile) From the baby and me both

Arnav smiled back at her and nodded. There was still a lot of silence it was now 4 am in the morning. They weren't getting sleep at all. Khushi turned to him again and said

Khushi: You still awake

Arnav: (rolling his eyes) Yeah

Khushi: (excited said) You want to play a game

Arnav: (startled) What the!! Khushi its 4, you should be sleeping not playing games. Its not good for your health or the babies. (he explained)

Khushi: (slapped her fore head and said) But Arnavji I am trying to get sleep but I can't. now you tell me what should i do. Your awake and I am awake. We are both aimlessly staring at the ceiling might as well we do something else

Arnav: (rolled his eyes and said) Why do I even bother to argue with you. (he paused and said) What game

Arnav: What logic does that have it sounds silly

Khushi: Its not trust me Jiji and i would play for hours i helps (pausing she said) Ok here is the first word. "Food"

Khushi: Practical= impossible

Arnav: Impossible= Khushi (he smirked)

Arnav: Really you aren't. (he raised his eye brows) Have you seen your craziness

Khsuhi:(rolled her eyes) Khushi= jalebies (she smiled) Hmmm Yummy (she drooled)

Arnav: Jalebies= never tried

Khushi: (woke up from the bed and then looked at him shocked and said) You haven't tried Jalebies.

Arnav: Whats the big deal. I am diabetic

Khushi: Whats the big deal. Omg are you serious. Arnavji I will make you eat and that too sugar free. Thodha pheeka yoga but still you will love it. (her mouth watered and then she said) That crispy crunch of jalebies in your mouth ahhhhaa it makes you feel that you are in heaven. That sweet sugar is just so divine. Ohhh (she looked at him and then said) Come with me I will make them now (she was going to get up when Arnav stopped her and said)

Arnav: Not right now (he laid her down on the bed) Tomorrow do what ever you want ok. Right now sleep

Khushi: (smiled and then said) Ok fine but tomorrow paka ha

Arnav: (looked at her and said in a husky voice) You know I was right

Khushi: (crinkling her eye brows she said) What

Arnav: You are impossible Khushi Kumari Gupta (he smirked)

She smiled he laid down on the bed besides her and they continued their silly game until morning. Sleep took over both quite late it was an eventful night for all 3 of them.

Chapter 6A

Two weeks passed by Khushi had adjusted well in her new surroundings. Arnav organized an appointment with Hawaii's top gynocologist Dr. Melanie Palika. She was known to be the best in delivering children. She told Arnav and Khushi that the baby was fine and very healthy as of now. She put Khushi on to a diet along with her supplements. Some minor exercises. It was her first month, the doctor said that maintaining a fixed routine for her from now was important. Walking was a must. The lector had also told Arnav to make sure that she gets no kind of stress and pain emotionally. She had to keep her mental state in good condition and had to make sure that her environment was relaxing and soothing at all times. No yelling no shouting and defiantly no loosing temper when she came up with silly ideas. Arnav made a strict not of that.

Khushi was doing fine. She would get up at 8 and have her hot cup of tea at the pool side area. Arnav would join her with his cup of coffee. They would spend a good 1 hour together before Arnav left for work.  In the evening when he would return back they would eat dinner. He would forcefully feed her every mosul so that she at well. They would sped some more time together and then by 12 he would put her to bed. If he had his way he would make her sleep at 10 but Khushi had this thing. She could not sleep until she had seen all her favorite tv shows. Arnav managed to have a tata sky with Indian channels put up in their house. She would sit from 9:30 onwards to 12 watching her programs, what was worse is that she would try to talk him into seeing it. He would refuse but she very conveniently use to say that it would make the baby happy if it father would also sit and watch the shows with them. Having no choice he use to sit with her and watch. It was funny she would watch emotional scenes and would cry and he would be holding tissues in his hand sulking to himself as to where he got himself stuck.

From the work front he had opened an AR office at Hawaii and was in constant touch with the Delhi Office and Akash. They were planning on expanding their business as much as they could. Arnav had big plans for the future and to help him to set the office up Arnav got Aman to Hawaii. Yes Aman came to Hawaii. Over the past few days he had tried all kinds of personal assistants and for some reason he would insist on calling all of them Aman be it a man or women. Khushi would find that hilarious. She just prayed they wouldn't name their kid Aman because that would just be weird. Not like the name was bad or anything but still not wanting to take a risk she suggested that they get Aman here. Arnav would constantly call her up to find out how she was. He hired help so she wouldn't have to do the work. Things were finally building up for them as far as settling was concerned.

It was around 12:30 am in the morning when a sleepy Khushi lay on the bed in the dark room. Her stomach growled making her wake up. The only thought in her mind was that she was hungry and she had to eat. But she didn't want to eat just anything she wanted to eat Kulfi. It seemed that she would die if she didn't eat it like right now. Getting off the bed she went to the kitchen and dug into the fridge but there was no kulfi.

Khushi: Hey devi maya now what will I do. (she cried) I need Kulfi now. We are not even in India. If we were there would always be kulfi in the fridge.

She went back up and tried to get sleep but couldn't her mouth was watering with the thought of Kulfi. How that ice cream tasted so good. When the cold sensation touched her tongue it gave her tingles and chills. the taste was so different so unique. She moaned. Her tummy growled again and she  couldn't take it any longer. The only way out was to wake him up. She looked down at her baby and said in a cute voice

Khushi: Hey baby, This Kulfi craving is driving me insane I tell you, now dont think your mama is crazy because the option to get this craving fulfilled is to get your father to help me.

She woke up and walked towards his room knocked on the door twice. Arnav was asleep but he was a light sleeper. Hearing the knock he woke up with a jerk to register what was going on. Khushi knocked again and said

Khushi: Arnavji wake up (she tried to shout)

Arnav rubbed his eyes hearing Khushi's voice immediately getting up, he thought something must be wrong with the baby or her health for her to wake him up so late. He opened the door and looked at her and said

Arnav: What happened are you ok (he asked worried)

Khushi: No I am not (she sulked)

He took her into his room and made her sit on the bed comfortably and asked

Arnav: Is it paining you, Have you taken your medicines (he asked in a hurry)

Khushi: Oh no Arnavji its not paining me anywhere (she said looking irritated)

Arnav: Then what happened (he asked raising his eye brows)

Khushi: I want Kulfi (she said in a cute voice)

Arnav: (opened his mouth shocked) What The

Khushi: (held his shoulder like a child and nudged him) Arnavji please get me Kulfi I need it.

Arnav: Khushi where am I too get Kulfi from whats wrong with you Its 1 in the morning (he yelled)

Khushi: (hearing hims shouting started to cry saying in a cranky voice) Your shouting at me (she sniffed) I can't help it I need Kulfi I can't sleep (sniff) Arnavji you dont care any more (sniff and crying)

Arnav: (calmed himself down and then tried to calm her down) Khsuhi no its not like that off course I care. but you tell me where am I too get Kulfi right now for you.

Khushi: (sulking) I dont know I just want it and I want it right now

Arnav: (yelled back) Your impossible and crazy woman.

Khushi again started to cry and he immediately changed his tone

Arnav: Ok OK I am sorry I am sorry

Khushi: (sniffing) Arnavji I am going to get kulfi

Arnav: From where

Khushi: I dont know I will walk on the streets till I find some Kulfi (she said determined)

Arnav: What the!! No you wont

Khushi: Yes I will

Arna: no

Khushi: yes

Arnav: Fine then I am coming with you

She smiled and then they both set foot to go in search of Kulfi on the streets of Hawaii.

Arshi's new house

PICs of Arshi's new house 

Chapter 5

Arnav and Khushi boarded the flight and it was a long journey Khushi was scared excited nervous all at once. She did feel sick though in the middle of the flight but the rest went all smooth. As they touched down to the Hawaiian islands, they got ready for their new life. Arnav and Khushi waited by the carousel for their luggage. Khushi observed the people and tried to get familiar. The bags came one by one. Arnav tried to spot for their bags and when it came, he bent forward to pick one up Khushi saw him do it and she tried to grab the other one when he snapped back at her

Arnav: (stopping her said) Dont do that

Khushi: (looked at him confused) Why Arnavji, I am only helping you

Arnav: (rolling his eyes he said) Your not suppose to bend or carry weight your pregnant

Khushi: (smiled a bit) But Arnavji its ok I can bend a bit I am only a few week pregnant

Arnav: No way, You stand right here, it doesnt matter if your a week pregnant or a day. Your pregnant and I cannot afford our baby to be in stress so do as I say

Khushi heart melted she seemed to like this caring side of him.She stood on the side as he retrieved the luggage. She looked down at her tummy and placed a hand on it and said with a glowing smile on her face.

Khushi: See that baby your dad can be so cute when he wants.

She spoke to her child with all the warmth and love. Once Arnav got the luggage they headed out to a cab and got in. Arnav gave him the address of their house. Khushi looked out of the window as they passed into the city. She was amazed they were surrounded by beaches and greenery. It looked wonderful.

They reached the house Arnav tipped the cab. Khushi purposely went to get the luggage removed just so that Arnav would scream at her for doing it. She loved to tease him like this. His kindness and softness towards the baby was so adorable.

Then Arnav opened the door to the house with the key they entered in. Khushi was amazed. It was huge. It was a duplex bungalow. The house was well done up. They walked further into the house to the back door Khushi unlatched it and the she was amazed there was a huge swimming pool. Beyond that was a fence and a gate that opened towards the beach. She had a smile on her face. Arnav noticed her expressions and he loved to see her so happy. Trust di to come up with a house like this. It was perfect for Khushi and their baby. Arnav was happy she liked it. But he didnt show it at all.

Arnav: Khushi come I will show you your room

Khushi: (confused) My room

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Yeah your room

She nodded and followed him. She didnt realize that she would be sleeping alone from now on. Usually Payal and she would share the room with so she wouldnt be scared but now she would have to sleep all alone in the dark.

He opened the door to a bed room. She opened her things and started to arrange the, inside the ward robe. Arnav left her and headed to his room to do his unpacking. Khushi had offered him that she could help him in his unpacking but he refused.

After she finished unpacking she went for a nice hot shower which was very relaxing for her. Arnav went to the near by hotel and bought some food for them. It was quite late they didnt have time to cook so whatever he could get he got. And also he didnt want Khushi to sleep late, it was a bad effect on her health.

He called her down for dinner and they ate in silence. Until Arnav noticed Khushi's sadness evident on her face he asked her in a soft voice

Arnav: Whats wrong are you ok

Khushi: (nodded) I am fine

Arnav: (made her put down the folk and turned her towards him) No your not tell me whats wrong. (he paused and asked in a worried tone) Is it the baby

Khushi: (shrugged) No Arnavji the baby is fine

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Khushi are you sure

Khushi: (rolled her eyes took his hand and placed it on her belly and then said) See its fine.

Arnav: But then why do you looked so stress, Khushi you shouldnt be taking stress

Khushi: Arnavji its just that I am missing home. I mean we left in such a hurry I dont know what to say

Arnav: (paused for a minutes he understood her pain, and then he said) I know it was all of a sudden but you knew the circumstances we had to leave (he said with regret)

Khushi:(put her hand on his) I understand Arnavji, (she took a second) I am with you dont worry we will build a life together for our baby (she said with a smile, her face glowed with happiness)

Arnav heart lightened to her her say that. He promised to build a perfect life for the baby and her.

Chapter 4

Arnav took Khushi up to his room. He was so angry he removed the bag from his cupboard and started to fill his clothes in. Anger still evident on his face. How could dadi do this. He was upset with the silly condition that she put. How dare she say that if they had a girl she wont accept her. Arnav was outraged by this. As he removed his clothes in anger and placed them in the bag. Khushi stood by the french windows looking out at the darkness. She had huge tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe what happened downstairs. She left out small sniffs. Arnav who was right now in anger heard her sniff he looked up at her. She stood silent. He knew she was crying. He went to her and placed a hand on her shoulders. Khushi turned around to see him. He was calm now. Arnav saw her big tears and wiped them off her face. She instantly hugged him tightly, resting her head on his chest and crying her heart out. Arnav encircled his arms around her waist to pull her in. Providing her with comfort and love.

Once she stopped crying. She lifted up from his chest, and looked at him and said in a soft voice

Khushi: This is all my fault. (she paused) I am sorry Arnavji

Arnav: (felt heart ache hearing her, he nodded her head from left to right) No, its not your fault. Dont blame yourself.

Khushi: (leaving him said) Then what am I suppose to say, you tell me. Amma and Buaji have disowned me. You are leaving this place. Every one is upset.

Arnav: (caressing her face he said in a soft voice) Khushi whatever I am doing I am doing for our child.  There is no point staying here is Dadi cannot accept our little one. I am upset she can even make statements like if we have a girl she wont accept her. Thats ridiculous (he said in anger) I am leaving because I want our child to have a better future. (he explained. Then he went on to say) Look I know you are upset about your Amma disowning you. But dont worry. Before we leave We will stop by your house to talk to them one last time. I think we need them to think properly and then they would understand.

Khushi: (nodded) Arnavji but where are we going to go. (she asked softly)

Arnav was about to answer when they heard a Anjili's voice from behind

Anjili: Hawaii

Arnav and Khushi looked in that direction and then Anjili said in a chirpy voice.

Anjili: Sorry Chottey can I come in.

Arnav: Yes Di

Anjili made her way in and then Arnav said

Arnav: (confused) Hawaii. Di why Hawaii ??

Anjili: Chottey, You remember that trip you took when you were in collage. You me and Akash went to Hawaii. You remember how much fun you had on that trip. (she smiled fondly and that memory) I remember you said that one day you would love to settle there because it was peaceful and quite unlike the fast paced city life.

Arnav: (smirked too) Yeah di I remember that trip

Anjili: Chottey at that time I had decided that when the time was right I would gift you a house there for your birthday this year. But seeing the current situation I think I should give you your birthday gift earlier.

Arnav: DI, I dont know what to say. I mean Hawaii. I thought we would move close by and stuff, I have never been far away from you. (he said skeptical)

Anjili: Chottey take it. Hawaii is a good place. You and Khushiji will be happy there. The baby will have a good life there. It is nice and peaceful and you can't restart a business there too. (she smiled and said) Dont worry about me Chottey I will come to Hawaii after the baby is born

Arnav: Di you are welcome to come before that as well. (he said sincerely)

Anjili: (left out a small tear she wiped it off and maintained her smile, and said) Ok now enough. Come here and give a big huge hug. I can't believe my Chottey has become so big (she said hugging him with all her warmth) YOu will be a great father Chottey

Khushi: (who was quite till now seeing the brother and sister bond. Spoke up softly) Di, your not angry with us for the baby.

Anjili broke the hug with Arnav and went towards her. She had the same warmth on her face when she spoke to Khushi.

Anjili: (she caressed her face and said) At first I was very angry, because you aren't married. But when I looked at this situation closer I thought to myself, that what is done is done. You can not change it. But what we can do is correct it. I only wish well for this baby thats growing within you. Khushiji what ever happens is in your destiny. (she paused) Devi maya works in mysterious ways and we must repeat and walk in those paths thats she creates for us. (she took Khushi's hand in hers) Khushiji take care of my Chottey and his baby. I have full faith in you.

Khushi was happy that Anjili wasn't angry any more. She hugged her tightly and Anjili responded back. Arnav watched as the two women in his life accepted each other. He was happy that Anjili was on their side. He promised that once he had a functioning business running he would take Anjili along with him to Hawaii. He refused to stay away from her for too long.

They finished packing Arnav told Aman to transfer money to his account, he also told him to book 2 tickets to Hawaii. Then they bid farewell to Anjili and went to the Gupta house, Khushi was petrified of what would happen when she needed to face her family again. Arnav assured her that no matter what he would always be there for her. As they reached the Gupta house they got off the car and walked to the front door, only to find a suit case outside on the porch. Arnav looked at Khush confused.

Khushi looked at the suit case opened it to find her clothes inside. She cried and said to him.

Khushi: Arnavji they packed my clothes also and kept it out. They have really disowned me for ever (she said crying)

Arnav: (calming her down) Shh. Dont worry you dont need them.

Saying that he took her to the car and had her seated inside. He was join to drive off when Payal came running. She stopped him. She went to Khushi and spoke to her and said

Payal: Khushi will you go with out saying good bye

Khushi: (got off the car and hugged her tightly crying) Shh. silly girl, (she wiped her tears) I know Amma is upset but that doesn't mean that we all our. (she handed her a statue of Devi maya) Khushi Babuji has given this for you. You know he can't meet you because Amma has stopped him from. But he has sent this for you. Its good luck.

Khushi: Thank you Jiji

Payal walked towards Arnav and said

Payal: Arnavji take care of my baby sister.

Arnav nodded. They said Bye to Payala and then took off for the airport. Their new life was just about to begin. 

Chapter 3

Note: In my story Shyam is not married to Anjili


Arnav and Khushi drove back home. There was stone cold silence in the car. Arnav was relived that Khushi was with him and that she agreed to his conditions, But Khushi she was in absolute doubt. Her heart broke when he said he couldnt marry her. Why couldnt he she thought. Was it because of her or was it something else. The thought kept eating her, She could not understand anything. her heart was wrestless and she was in pain. She wanted this marriage and she wanted to call him husband. They were having a baby together forget about what the world thinks she wanted this for herself she wanted to claim him as hers. And here he was saying things like he could never marry. Another thought passed off her mind, She knew that they were together because of the baby, but was he only tolerating her because of that. Was he going to tell her to leave once the baby was born. Her eyes popped out and she couldnt take it any longer.

Khushi: Arnavji stop the car

They were a little close to the main city, Arnav jammed the brakes on the side of the road. He looked at her all confused

Arnav: What happened (he said to her in a hurry curiosity all over his face)

Khushi: Arnav, (she took a deep breath and continued) Arnavji is it because of me

Arnav: (confused) What is because of you

Khushi: Is there some fault in me that you can not get married to me (she said with her eyes down)

Arnav had no idea what to say to her, fault in her no way she was perfect in every manner, He took sharp breath and said

Arnav: No its not because of you (he turned to her and cupped her face) Your perfect

Khushi: Then why (she said irritated)

Arnav: I told you its complicated didnt I (he said now a bit irritated)

Khushi: (took his hand in hers and said) Just tell me Arnavji, what is it that bothers you so much about marriage

Arnav: (looked at her face, he wanted to tell her but couldnt tell her.) Khushi stop it. Its none of your concern (he spat back in anger) I no we are going to be parents but get one thing straight you have no right on me. (in an angry tone)

Khushi couldn't believe what he was telling her she was angry too and so she said

Khushi: Your right I dont. (she said hurt)

Arnav: (felt bad, he rushed to wipe off the lonesome tear from her eye and said in a softer voice) Khushi please stop crying. Look try to understand

Khushi: (moved his hand in anger and said) I understand well Arnavji i know after i give birth to this baby you will throw me out of your life and keep me away from my child. Thats why you dont want to marry me. I know it. (she said irritated holding her stomach) You will keep me away from my baby

Arnav: (was shocked at what she said)  What the !!

Khushi: Dont What the me, I know it I know you will do this. But mark my words I have as much of right on this baby as you do. (she warned him)

Arnav: (said shocked, he cupped her face and looked at her sad)  Dammit Do you really think I will keep our baby away from you. (he asked her hurt and angry)

Khushi: (had a tear in her eye she was sad she said) Then tell me why dont you want to marry me. How will we raise this child if we are not married. I am more worried about our baby (she took one of his hand, and placed it on her belly to feel the baby) Do you want the world to tell our child that her parents had her with out marriage. The world is cruel you and I both know that. They will taunt our child and tell it that it was a mistake. You and I both know that this child is not a mistake (she cried her heart out)

Arnav: (crinkled his eye brows upset and said) Our child is not a mistake (his hand still on her belly)     Khushi, do you really think I The Great ASR will let anybody talk that way to our child. No never (he said in anger) I will kill them if they ever tell our child such nonsense. Our baby is not a mistake (He said once more, then paused seeing her face, she couldnt stop crying, he wiped her tears with her other hand and said) Khushi I am not marrying you because I have a genuine problem, Its not you its me. (she lifted her eyes towards him and then he said) You are worried about the world but trust me have faith in me that I can protect you and this child. I promise you no one will ever tell you or our baby anything. As long as I am alive I will stand in front of you and our child and protect you from everything. Just have faith in me dammit (he said the last line with a loud scream)

Khushi: (looked at him, he seemed genuine, he spoke from the heart She looked back at him her heart swelled to see him like this, she hugged him tightly and continued to cry, Arnav was a bit stunned with the hug but he hugged her back and she sobbed and sobbed. She was touched by his genuine and so she lifted her head up and said with a soft smile and in a sobbing voice

Khushi: I trust you (she paused and then said) I am sorry, I just got scared that you would seperate me from our child once I give birth. -(she admitted)

Arnav: (wiped her tears) No never, I would never do such a thing.

Khushi nodded

Arnav: Khushi call buaji and your family to RM, I think its time we tell them.

Khushi: Arnavji I am scared what will they say, (she paused and then again said) Arnavji you know I was too get engaged to some one

Arnav looked up at her silently his heart pounding not liking what she said

Khushi: His name is Shyam I didn't tell you Arnavji but today was suppose to be my engagement. Every one at home is waiting for me along with that boy

Arnav: (stiffened) Ask that boy to come with your family.

Khushi nodded Arnav drove to RM, Kushi made the call. Buaji and all had reached and the entire family was gathered in the hall. Arnav and Khushi were at the door step. Khushi took a deep breath and Arnav held her hand, he rang the door bell. Anjili opened the door, They walked in to find both the families sitting down. Dadi and Nani were seated in the middle on the sofa, Lavanaya sat by nani. Anjili took her place besides dadi, Buaji Garima and Shashi sat on the side, along with some guy. Arnav looked at him he figured that was Khushi's fiancé.

Anjili: Chottey Khushiji, whats going on, Buaji said that you have something to tell us


Arnav: Yes di we do. (He held Khushi's hand tightly, they looked at each other) Khushi's pregnant with my child

He said it in one sentence. They heard gasps in the air. Shocked faces. Crying ones. Angry ones. Khushi was getting nervous she never knew what to say and what to do and what was going to happen. Arnav waited for the tension to reduce, but that didn't seem likely. Buaji got up from the chair and went to Khushi, She held her by the shoulders and shook her and started to shout

Buaji: Tell me this is not true, I want to hear it from you

Khushi had tears in her eyes as she looked down scared and said in a soft voice

Khushi: Sorry

Buaji had lost he cool she raised her hand to slap Khushi who was terrified but Arnav interjected he came and stopped her immediately and said in a stone cold voice.

Arnav: Dont you dare touch her

Every one gasped out loud. Lavanaya got up crying and walked towards them

Lavanaya: How could you Khushi, How could you. I thought you were my friend (she said in disgrace)

Khushi: (didn't know what to tell her she felt awful for Lavanaya) Lavanayaji I am sorry it just

Lavanaya: I never want to ever see you again. (she said to Khushi sternly, then she turned to Arnav) ASR Its over between us, I am leaving

Saying that she walked up the stairs to pack her bags. Anjili was going after her. Then Dadi got up from the couch and walked over to Arnav. She said in a strict voice

Dadi: We will not accept this child as a Malik

Khushi's family was in shock. Khushi's eyes widened and then Dadi said

Dadi: This child is a sin. This girl has used you and now she is pregnant she is eyeing the families money. (she accused Khushi)

Khushi was crying like crazy. Arnav's anger started to increase.

Arnav: This child is not a sin. (he shouted back) I dont care if you accept this child as a Malik or not, because like its father it is a Raizada. (he set things straight) You are forgetting that I am a Raizada now.

Dadi: Changing your surname doesn't make it different. You were a Malik and You will be a Malik (she yelled back)

Nani: (got up and came to Dadi and said) Calm down this is not the way to solve the problem. I know they made a mistake.

Arnav: (yelled again) THIS CHILD IS NOT A MISTAKE

Nani: Calm down Chottey, fighting is not the answer. (she went to buaji and said) Madhumatiji I think we elders should decide how to deal with the problem

Buaji nodded but Arnav said

Arnav: There is nothing to decide Nani, Khushi and I have decided what we are going to do. (he paused) We are raising this child together. (he paused once again) Khushi and I will live together and take care of the child.

Nani: (smiled) I think thats a good idea, You both should get married, then I dont see any problem (she turned to buaji and said) Madhumattiji are you ok with that

Buaji was about to answer when Arnav said

Arnav: No Nani, Khushi and I will stay to together but we wont get married

Again tension filled the room. Khushi held on to Arnav tightly scared seeing every ones faces. Shyam who was quite for a while observing everything now made his move

Shyam: Masiji I would like to say something

Everyone looked in his direction. He walked up to Khushi and said

Shyam: Khushiji I am willing to accept this child and get married to you

Garima: Shyamji (she walked up and folded her arms traditionally with a smile) Thank you Shyamji this is the only way I can save my daughter (she looked at Khushi in anger)

Khushi: (took a deep breath and said) I am sorry Amma  I can not marry Shyamji

GArima: (shouted) Khushi are you mad. Shyamji is your only hope. You must marry him.

Khushi: I can't I have to stay with Arnavji (she said) I want my baby to have a father

Buaji: It will Shyamji is ready to accept it

Khushi: No Arnavji is its father, I must stand by Arnavji. This baby is our baby we both have equal right on it.  cannot separate this baby from Arnavji (she said holding his hand again.)

Garima: Khushi you are ruining your life. This man can't keep you happy with out marriage You hear me (she yelled with all furry)

Khsuhi: (stood strong against Arnav and the baby) I am sorry Amma, This baby belongs to Arnavji, I dont know what my future has in store for me. But I must stand by Arnavji. (she was hell bent on it)

Shyam was shocked at first but angry at what Khushi just said. Nani was happy to see Khushi stand by her Chotte, The rest of the family was family was just shocked. Payal consoled Garima. Dadi was boiling with anger from within, and Arnav and Khsuhi just stuck together holding hands, supporting each other.

Dadi: Fine then If this is what you want then so be it. But let  me make myself clear, If this girl (she pointed at Khushi) Does not give birth to a boy and bless us with a son. Then I will personally make sure to throw this girl out of this house (she threatened)

Arnav: (pissed off he said) There is will be no such thing. Both Khushi and I will be happy with what ever we get. This baby is ours be it a boy or girl. It will always be our child and we will love it and support it no matter what.

Dadi: Arnav. You can not have everything your way understand. This is my final word (she said with authority)

Arnav: (left Khushi's hand and walked up to Dadi and said in a fierce voice) It doesn't matter to me what you all think. If you can not accept Khushi and the baby then I think its best that I leave this house with Khush and go, And thats my final word (he said loudly)

Dadi's eyes widened and she didn't know what to say to him. He was a man of his words.Arnav held Khushi's hands and said

Arnav: Khushi and I are leaving this house and going, I dont want to live with people who can't accept my child or Khushi as theres.

Arnav gave his final word. Leaving the whole family shell shocked    


Garima: (goes up to khushi and tells her) Khushi if this is what you want then We are no longer going to accept you as ours. From now on you are dead to us (she said in a stone cold voice)

Khushi cried furiously and Arnav said

Arnav: We dont need you. We will be fine by ourself 

The gupta's left RM. Khushi was miserable but had to stick by her decision. Dadi stomped off to her room. The family all left. Arnav took Khushi up to his room to pack his clothes. They were leaving for good. 

Chapter 2

Present times.

Arnav sat at the pool side and gazed up at the stars. the night sky looked so calm as the shinny dots sparkled. He was in deep thought of how to handle the situation. When Khushi told him about the pregnancy he was shocked he had no idea what to do and what not. Now if he was told this news before the Nanitaal trip he would have yelled and shouted and gotten angry. ASR would have ordered her to abort the child. But it seems the trip changed this man. The stoned cold ASR turned soft towards Khushi and the baby. That closeness with her made him melt. He remembered their sex encounter in the hut. The way she held onto him, he remembered loosing control. He told himself to stop it. But his heart told him to go on. He remembered how she was persistent and first but eventually gave in too.

That night was really something he looked up at the stars, once again. he remembered how she told him once that the stars are dead people and they shine to watch over you. His mother came into his mind. He remembered her. He needed her today to help take a decision on what he had to do with his life.

Flash backs of his mother talking to him when he was a baby

Arnav: Ma this is such a small seed how will it grow into a plant

Ratna: Chottey even this tiney seed can make a difference. when you sew a seed into the ground, mother nature nurtures it and takes care of it and as time passes by it turns into a plant and then a big tree, and that big tree will give you flowers and fruits

Arnav: But ma what happens it you dont sew the seed back into the earth then what

Ratna: We must always give back mother nature what she gave us, when we eat the fruit we take mother natures babies away but after we finish if we plant the seed back into the ground, she will be will in return rewards with new fruits. Remember this Chottey everything in life has a purpose and a meaning. You must never steal a baby from its mother.

Arnav: And what about a father

Ratna: (chuckled) Yes a father too, you know Chottey when you grow old and have your own children. You must protect you children from the world. that is what a good father does. He takes care of his children and loves them.

Arnav: Ma but papa never protects me or di, we hardly see him. Why is that does he not love me

Ratna: He loves you very much Chottey you are the apple of his eye

Arnav: Lies, i know he doesnt love us. Ma Papa never has time for us. Thats why he always fights with you and he left us and went away

Ratna: (bent down and took him in his arms and said with a smile) When your older you will understand this, But for now i want you to make a promise to me

Arnav: What ma

Ratna: Promise me Chottey you will be a good father to your children, promise me you will always protect your children. And promise me you will always love your wife.

Arnav nodded

Flashback ends

He molded his fists in anger remembering the fights that his mother and his father would have. He looked up at the stars and said

Arnav: I promise I will always love this child and protect it no matter what. I cant promise you about marriage, because i dont want things to end between me and Khushi. But i can promise you to always stand by her and my child.

Meanwhile back at the Gupta house. Khushi lay flat on her bed looking up at the plastic stars over her head. She touched her belly feeling their child. She had no idea what was going to happen next and had not a clue of what Devi maya planned for her.  But she prayed that it all worked out at the end. She was glad that Arnavji had at least asked her and accepted the child. It was strange because she thought that when she would tell him. he would be furious and mad at her. But he wasnt he behaved like a true gentlemen. He is willing to take responsibility for the child.

Her only worry no was that how would they tackle the families and worse what would she tell Shyam. In a way she left a breath of relief, She really didnt want to marry him, he never made her heart beat or made her feel special. She only felt that with Arnav. It was strange but she always did.

Morning arrived. Arnav woke up with the fist ray that entered his room. It was time, He was ready to face all the hurdles in life for his baby. For their baby. He stretched to the side table and looked at his phone it was 8 am. He dialed Khushi.

Khushi who was fast asleep woke up with the sudden noise of her ring tone, she picked it up and spoke in a sleepy voice

Khushi: Hello

Arnav: Khushi

Khushi: hmm

Arnav: Are you sleeping

Khushi: Yes what else would i be doing

Arnav: (rolled his eyes) Wake up

Khushi: Arnavji let me sleep na please its barely morning (she cribbed cutely)

Arnav: FYI Its 8 am

Khushi who was asleep suddenly woke up in a stark and said in a worried tone

Khushi: Oh shit Arnavji its 8 am, Buaji will kill me I am late

Arnav rolled his eyes he could here Buaji yell from the door to her and Khushi reply back. He couldnt be bothered and so he said

Arnav: Listen meet me at 10 o clock at my office, I need to discuss something with you regarding the baby

Khushi: (touched her stomach feeling their baby and then said) Ok Arnavji

She put down the phone and got ready to meet him

She entered his office at sharp 10 am, All the snobbish women gave her dirty looks they never really liked her, and she never understood why. She walked up to his cabin and knocked 3 times.

Arnav: Come in

Khushi came into his cabin. He looked at her from top to bottom, she was dressed in a white anarkali, and looked at fresh as the morning breeze, her skin glowed. Arnav looked down at her belly to see his child. He said

Arnav: We need to talk

Khushi nodded and was about to sit down when he said

Arnav: But not here.

Khushi: then where Arnavji

Arnav: Come with me

Both of them left the office together and sat in the car. There was silence none spoke a word. Khushi wondered where he was taking her. It looked like they were out of the main city and near the hills. There were no cars on the roads it was empty only greenery everywhere Arnav stopped the car.

Khushi looked up at him confused and then said

Khushi: Arnavji why did you stop

Arnav: Khushi I wanted to talk to you alone somewhere, where there is no one to disturb us.

Khushi nodded and they got off the car. He went a bit ahead facing his back to hers and then said in a husky voice

Arnav: Look I am ready to accept this baby as mine and I am ready to take care of it as well.

Khushi heart started to beat seeing his soft side. She remained quite and he continued

Arnav: (he took a deep breath and said) But I cant marry you

Her world came crashing down hearing his last few words. A tear rolled out and she said

Khushi: I understand you love Lavanayaji

Arnav: (looked back at her, he saw her tear and then said) No its not like that. I dont love Lavanaya and I never have loved her

Khushi: What do you mean I dont understand

Arnav: Khushi look its complicated alright. Even if it was Lavanaya I cant marry her, or you, or anybody

Khushi: (confused she asked) But why Arnavji what is the problem

Arnav: I said its complicated (he raised his voice a bit) Khushi we will have to work it out. i am willing to take care of you and the baby, but in return all i ask is no marriage

Khushi didnt know what to say, How could she agree to him for no marriage, What will the family say and what will happen. How could she live with him without being his wife.

Khushi: But Arnavji what will every one say, how will be manage all this. Dadiji Naniji and Buaji will never agree. You know that, They agreed to Lavayaji with great difficulty (she voiced her thought)

Arnav: Dont worry about that i will handle it all, the only thing i want to know is are you with me or not.

Khushi looked down at her belly, and felt her baby then she looked up at its father and silently nodded with out saying anything. She really didnt know what the future holds for them but she defiantly didnt want her baby to be without a father. Something is better than nothing. For now she had to just have faith on Arnavji and her devi maya

Chapter 1

*Flash back*

Arnav was furious to see Khushi in the trunk of his car. What is this girl up to he thought with anger written all over his face. Khushi on the other hand was petrified she chanted Devi maya's name continuously in hope that her goddess would send some angles down to help her in front of this rakshash Laad Governor.

Arnav was on his way to Nanitaal for an important business conference and his supposed girl friend was to accompany him to the conference. But as fate had it, Lavanaya couldn't make it due to skin problems and He still hasn't figured out how Khushi managed to get into the trunk of his car.

Arnav: What The !! (pausing he said rolling his eyes) What are you doing here

Khushi: (scared she answered) I uh, I dont know, the last thing i remember is that it was dark and i lost consciousness.

Arnav: How do you manage to get yourself in these situations i really dont understand (he yelled)

Khushi looked down at her feet not knowing what to answer, she obviously couldn't tell him, that she was helping lavanaya but puncturing his tires, He would yell the hell out of her, or worse even kill her for it. She mentally made a note not to mention anything at all, and pretend to be unknown of how she got in there. Then she asked in an innocent voice.

Khushi: You can give me some money i can go home please. I mean you are late for your conference and Buaji will kill me if i dont reach on time.

Arnav: Khushi its late in the evening, You can't go anyway, so shut up and stay quite till i figure out what to do. (he said irritated, and then looked at the flat tire and kicked one and yelled) Shit the dam tires are all so flat.

Khushi: (who so wanted to get out of this situation, was now not happy with what was happening, she said in a sad voice) You mean i can't go home now, But Arnavji i can't come to your conference either what will i do there, and what will buaji say if i dont come home for the night (she bit her finger nails)

Arnav: You should have thought of it before you climbed into my trunk. (he held her by the arms pulling her very close, her breasts rested on his chest.)

Khushi: I did not climb into your trunk (she said angry trying to free herself)

Arnav: Oh so then i suppose you magically got in there is it (he griped her tighter)

Khushi: (bitting her lip she said) I dont know how i got in here ok, i told you that

Arnav: How is it that only you manage to get yourself in a situation like this

Khushi didn't answer him, the sun started to set, Arnav chose not to argue with her he left her slowly, removed his bag from the car, and locked the car, Khushi stood their all lost and confused not knowing what to do, and then he said

Arnav: Come on, lets go.

He started walking towards the empty road, oblivious to the fact that it lead to the jungle, a confused Khushi followed him trailing behind. 

They walked for hours and it was now night, and unfortunately to their bad luck it start to drizzle making them wet. Khushi who was petrified of the dark was now getting scared as ever, and with out realizing she held onto his arm clinging to him. Arnav looked down at her. She looked so cute her eyes shut he hair all messy and he knew she was scared. Looking ahead he saw a small hut in the mid of the jungles. He said in a soft voice. 

Arnav: Ok we can stop for the night, there is a hut there 

Khushi slowly opened her eyes and saw the hut she breathed a sigh and they proceeded towards the hut. It was pitch dark, she refused to let go of his arm. He calmed her down and made her sit on the pile of straw and simple went near by to the lantern switching it on. The hut filled with light and Khushi settled herself. It was really very cold and she was shivering. Arnav placed his bag on the hay and opened the zip removed a site shirt and handed to her. 

Arnav: Here wear this it will be warm 

Khushi: No thank you Arnavji i am fine (she declined)

Arnav: You will catch a cold just wear it (he said coldly)

Khushi: But its yours i mean how could i (she hesitated)

Arnav rolled his eyes and handed her the shirt. She went behind in a secluded area and changed into the shirt. The salwar pajamas were soaked, she had no choice she had to remove them. She slowly removed them and took her duppatta which was not that wet and rapped it around her waist converting it into a skirt, She opened her hair so it would dry faster. Meanwhile Arnav removed his shirt and kept it to dry. He gathered some hay and tried to light a fire that would keep them warm for the night. 

Khushi looked at herself, she was a bit embarrassed to come in front of his like this but she had no choice she had to. She took a deep breath and came out of the darkness. Arnav who had just started the fire looked up at her. He had no words what he saw in front of him. Khushi looked like a goddess who had descend from earth. Her skin glowed his loose shirt looked so hot on her. His eyes travelled downwards to her waist she had tied her navy blue duptta like a skirt, her legs were visible. Arnav was attracted to her. he was so turned on by her sensuous beauty and innocence. Arnav was a goner in her love. He wanted to take her and tell her what he had always felt about her.

Khushi coughed a bit and sat down on the hay opposite him. She was conscious of what she looked like but never said a word. It took her a minute to adjust to the surroundings. Then she looked up at him. He was shirtless his perfectly shaped muscles were  visible. Khushi wanted to feel that strong chest of his. She mentally killed herself for wanting to do that. but she couldn't help it she just wanted to. She has always been attracted to this man and today the desire was stronger. Her heart started to beat so fast just looking at him. 

There was silence the wind blew in strongly and blew the fire off Khushi got scared. In a second she screamed for him 

Khushi: Arnavji 

Arnav: Shh i am right here. Dont worry 

Khushi: No Arnavji please dont leave me 

Arnav who had now gotten up from his place came and seated himself behind her

She felt him behind her and then in a swift second she hugged his clinging to his chest, feeling safe. Arnav's heart started to jump feeling Khushi so close to him. He slowly wrapped his arms around her slender waist, taking her in and keeping her warm and safe. Khushi didn't realize he rested on his chest making herself comfortable. After a few minutes when she opened her eyes she looked up and was shocked with what just happened. She looked up at him and he looked down at her. Both were turned on with each other. 

He neared her face. Looking at those perfectly plump lips. Khushi didn't shy back she stayed the way she was, Arnav placed his lips on hers and claimed her lips in a deep kiss. Khushi who had never been kissed before parted her mouth and Arnav darted his tongue in her mouth. He twirled his tongue with hers she tried to match his rhythm. With out even realizing she left a moan, which turned Arnav on more and more. Khushi felt warmth within her. He parted her lips with hers and they both started to pant heavily. Arnav laid her down on the hay and climbed over her. He opened the first few buttons of the shirt exposing her skin. he bent down and began to kiss her on her neck. Khushi wild onto him bring him closer to her. She was in a trance the trance of his love. Arnav kissed her going lower exposing her breasts. Khushi felt him mould her breasts he squeezed them massaged them and then licked them. Khushi was feeling strange with him doing these things to her. The warmth started to spread further and she enjoyed this feeling. She moaned 

Khushi: Hmm Hmm Hmm 

Arnav went lower and kissed her navel, Khushi instantly responded to his touch by sucking her stomach in. He patted her tummy twice and she left go, again he kissed her navel. Going lower he reached her waist he was about to remove the dupatta that she tied when she gasped and looked at him and said 

Khushi: Arnavji, no (she said softly)

Arnav: Khushi  (she paused and then said) Let me love you (he said in a husky voice)

She started to breath heavily and moved her hand he kissed her waste and then untied the knot or her dupatta. Opening it up he revealed her softness. Khushi looked the other way shutting her eyes and Arnav lighting rubbed his fingers over it. She winced with his touch. He slowly went down and placed his mouth over her softness and darted his tongue, tasting her ready softness. 

Khushi: Ahh 

Arnav licked it, it tasted so good. He started off slowly and then increased his speed, She moaned in pleasure as the electric shocks passed through her. 

Khushi: Ahhh Ahhh Ahh 

Khushi: Arnavji Oh God Ahhh Arnav Arnav.... 

She moaned and moaned as he licked her to his hearts content, kissing it nudging it making love to it. And after he was done he cam on top of her, she looked at him into his dark orbs and he looked back at her. 

Arnav: I am going in (he said in his husky voice) 

Khushi: Will it hurt (she said softly)

Arnav: (paused and then said) It will but just hold on to me tightly sweet heart, I will make it better soon 

Khushi nodded and then Arnav inserted himself into her, and she screamed feeling the poke in her system. Arnav stayed still. Khushi held onto him tightly placing her hands on his back. He adjusted and then slowly started to thrust in and out Khushi moaned 

Khushi: Arnavji.... Ahhh Ahhh 

Arnav: Shh Khushi let go sweet heart, just let go 

Khushi let loose and then again he started to go in and out and then finally he Khushi got use to it, He started to thrust in and out. 

Khushi moaned against his chest 

She moaned with him. She moaned for him. She moaned to be one with him .She moaned to tell him how much she loved him. 

Arnav enjoyed each and every moment of what they had been doing, from the day he met her he has been meaning to show her what she makes him feel, That attraction that he had towards her was evident in his eyes today. 

Khushi was climaxing, he slowly let himself out of her door and then laid on top of her, both of them clung to each other, not ready to let go. 

As morning came they woke up and were shocked to find themselves like that, the journey went silent neither spoke a word to the other. As they reached Delhi they both went their own separate ways. Both needed time to figure out what happened yesterday night.
