Chapter 13 - I belong to you

Khushi: Oh god! Now how am I going to talk to Arnav if Viren is around, aur iss lavanya bhi! God please help me..

Khushi: Oh god! Now how am I going to talk to Arnav if Viren is around, and this lavanya also! God please help me..

Khushi gets ready in a rush and wears a simple cream anarkali. Her hairs let loose and only a glossy lipstick as make up... Arnav and Lavanya were in the living room waiting for Khushi and Payal. Arnav being cute he managed to pacify Lavanya's anger from his sexy smirk and stupid jokes. He really felt bad for Lavanya as he realized from the beginning that she's attracted to him. She is a sweet girl, and cares a lot for him. Her behavior, her attitude, the way she looks at him.. only a blind wouldn't notice her fling for him. But his heart was already taken. He smiled to himself while Lavanya continues her non stop chatterbox. The same feeling.. the same dhak dhak.. His heartbeats going crazy.. he instantly turns his eyes towards the stairs. There she is... the most ravishing girl ever.. how can someone look so angelic?? He stares at her while at the top of the stairs Khushi was frozen on the spot looking straight into his eyes. Something was different, but what?  Brushing her thoughts away, she walks down the stairs while Payal also joins them. Lavanya looked at Khushi annoyingly and passes her hands in the arms of Arnav.

Lavanya: Chale ASR?

(Let's go ASR)

ASR: Yeah let's go...

A last glance to Khushi and he walks away to the car. Before she could reach to the door, Lavanya opens it and gets seated to the front beside Arnav. Khushi throws her angry look to Lavanya and went to the back seat. Arnav lifts his hand to the rear view mirror and turns it towards Khushi. He smirks as he sees her mumbling in irritation. The whole drive was silent while Khushi and Arnav were stealing glances time to time... Reaching the shopping mall, Arnav parks the car on the other side of the road. He gets out of the car and opens the door for Khushi while the other two ladies also steps out from the other door. Khushi smiled at him as she gets out.

Khushi: Thanks..

Arnav ignores her, and turns his eyes away but khushi's voice stops him from stepping away.

Khushi: Arnav! please.. we need to talk!

Arnav looked at her and arrogantly..

ASR: Not interested..

Khushi thinks: Gosh! what the hell? how can he behave like this with me?

Khushi grimaced irritatingly. She was pissed off with his attitude and steps forward to cross the road when suddenly arnav holds her wrists.

Arnav: Careful!

Khushi was startled as he pulled her back before a car almost runs over her.

ASR: Dekhe nahi chal sakte kya.. kuch ho jata to..

(Can't you see while walking.. if something happens..?)

Khushi looked at his eyes.. full of anger! And behind this anger,.. care, worry, protectiveness.. and a smile appears on her face which fumes him even more.

Khushi(sarcastically): Ek stranger ke liye itna pareshaan, wa kya baat hai!

(So worried for a stranger, wow!)

And she lets a laugh. But her face changes colors as Lavanya approaches them.

Lavanya: ASR please hold me.. I'm really scared of the roads in India..

Khushi's eyes popped out as Lavanya grips to Arnav's arms. She turns to Payal and grips her arms while Arnav smirks.

Khushi: Chalo Babhi!

(Let's go Babhi!)

The four crossed the road and they entered the shopping mall.. Viren called Payal and informs her that he's still stuck in a meeting and he'll be late. They decided to wait for Viren for lunch and so they started their shopping. Khushi and Payal went to the west side while Arnav and lavanya went to the other side to buy some interior stuffs. It's been more than 1 hour and Arnav was out of her sight. Khushi was in the shop trying several lenghas but her mind was elsewhere. Thinking about Lavanya trying to get cozy with Arnav disgusts her. Her eyes were searching for Arnav.. everytime she comes out of the changing room she glances at the entrance door.

Khushi thinks: Where the hell is he? wo ghar ke saman kharidne gaya ya phir shaadi ka? as if this lavanya's company is better than mine.. I hate that chick! Can't she see that he's not interested? Chipka hi rehta!

(Khushi thinks: Where the hell is he? He went to buy stuffs for the house or for his wedding? as if this lavanya's company is better than mine.. I hate that chick! Can't she see that he's not interested? Always sticking to him!)

She pouts when the voice of Payal brings her back from her thoughts.

Payal: yeh lengha kaisa laga Khushi?

(Payal: How do you find this lengha Khushi?)

Khushi turns her eyes towards the blue lengha absent-mindedly and faked a smile.

Khushi: It's beautiful Babhi.

Payal looked at her questioningly.

Payal: to ab tak yahan kya karahe ho.. jao try kardo na!

(So what are you doing here till now.. go try it!)

Khushi: Babhi please.. I'm really tired of all this! Try karne ki kya zaroorat, ap jo pasan aaye mein wohi pehnaoongi.. ap khood choose kardo please!

(Khushi: Babhi please.. I'm really tired of all this! What's the use of trying, I'll wear whatever you like.. You choose please!)

Payal: lekin..

(Payal: But..)

Khushi cuts her words and holds her hands.

Khushi: Please babhi.. thodi dher keliye, I'm going out.. feeling suffocated here!

(Khushi: Please Babhi.. For some time, I'm going out.. feeling suffocated here!)

Payal nods in acknowledgement but before she utters a word, Khushi leaves her hands and steps out of the shop. Irritation, worry, restlessness... she was searching for Arnav desperately. She has to talk to him now. On her way she spots Lavanya coming towards her and she was alone. Immediately she hides into a corner. As Lavanya was out of sight, Khushi gets out of her hideout letting a sign of relief.

Khushi: Great! Ab mujhe koi nahi rok sakta arnav se baat karne ki..

(Great! Now no one can stop me talking to Arnav)

She rushes to the shop Lavanya came out from and sees Arnav waiting at the counter. She runs to him and calls out his name.. Arnav turns towards her confusingly.

ASR: What are you doing here?

Khushi looked at him in an angry glare and in an authoritative tone..

Khushi: And you, what the hell are you doing here?

ASR looked at her, puzzled!

ASR: Excuse me..

Khushi: tumhe ghar ke saman karidne tha na, to iss kapre ke shop mein kya karahe ho tum?

(Khushi: You had to buy stuffs for the house, so what are you doing in this clothes shop?)

And she takes on her sarcastic tone..

Khushi: kya tum bhi sagai karne wale hai kya.. oh ya kyun nahi, perfect girl jo milgaye.. mujhe nahi pata tha ke tumhara choice itna kharab hoga?

(Khushi: Are you also getting engaged.. Oh yeah why not, you got your perfect girl.. I never knew you had such bad taste?)

ASR raises his eyebrows in amusement while an arrogant smirk appears on his face.

ASR: Tumhari problem hai kya? Tumhe koi bhimari hai? Are you crazy or something?

(ASR: What is your problem? Are you ill? Are you crazy or something?)

Khushi's eyes popped out while her mouth formed a big O-shape.

ASR thinks: this is gonna be fun!

ASR: Kabhi khushi kabhi kashish.. kabhi get out of my life aur kabhi where the hell were you? tum chate kya ho? Confused woman!

(Sometimes Khushi sometimes Kashish.. sometimes get out of my life and sometimes where the hell were you? What do you want? Confused woman!)

He looked at her angrily and turns away from Khushi.. As he was stepping away, khushi realized that he shuts her off again. Getting back from her thoughts, she rushes to the walking Arnav and holds his arms. Arnav turns to her and stares into her eyes. She was angry.. and her one look says it all! Burning in jealousy..

ASR: Ab Kya?

(ASR: Now what?)

In an instant, she takes Arnav by surprise when she drags him to the nearest changing cabin. She pushes him inside as Arnav lets a ''what the'' out. She locks the door and turns towards Arnav furiously.

ASR: Are you mad? let me get out of here? Lavanya will be coming back soon..

Another step towards him and Arnav backs off till he crashes into the wall behind him. Khushi blocks him placing her hands to the wall.. She looked straight into his eyes and approaches closer. They both could feel each other's breath. Moving closer, she pecks his lips shocking Arnav. Her lips moves from his lips to his right cheek. She places a moist kiss and moves to the other cheek. Brushing her nose to his skin, she smells in the scent of his after shave. Her hands leave the wall and come laying on his chest. Playing with his shirt buttons.. she whispers to his ears.

Khushi: If you don't want to listen to Khushi, it's ok... but... you will listen to Kashish for sure.. you cannot resist her.

Arnav was trying hard to control the havoc inside him. First button, second , third.. till the shirt was left open. Khushi slides down his body placing kisses all over his chest. She knows exactly how to get him out of his senses. She gets to his lips kissing him without any rush. Khushi smiled as she felt him responding to the kiss. Suddenly she gasps when in an instant Arnav holds her wrist and forcefully turns her. Her back crashes into his chest and his lips kissing her ears, he murmurs..

ASR: Not anymore sweetheart.. you are not kashish! you are khushi... Viren ki khushi! So please apna drama band kardo and just go away.. I already got out of your life like you asked, now it's time for you to go away from my life..

Tears welled up in her eyes as she hears his words. It was painful.. how could he? was it so easy? but why is she so affected? Khushi turns to him. He could see her teary eyes and felt he went too far in this game.. he never thought of hurting her, all he wants is that she realise that she cannot live without him, that she loves him as much as he does.. and he's struggling hard to bring her to that feeling but she seems too immune to love that she keeps on running away from his love. Immediately he tries cupping her face but Khushi steps back. Her cheeks wet with her falling tears, her eyes speaks a lot..she was suffering, suffocating.. as if being Kashish brings her happiness only because of Arnav, but if Arnav is nomore with her.. Her thoughts were killing her and she turns trying to unlock the door while Arnav tries to stop her. She steps out and runs out of the shop ignoring Arnav who called out for her again and again. Arnav managed to attach his buttons quickly and rushed outside. He runs from here and there.. tensed! Khushi was out of sight.. He calls out for her but in vain. Khushi was breathless but she didn't stop running. Her cries were not stopping when suddenly she crashed into some people.

People: Dekhe nahin chal sakta kya.. aaj ke ladkiyan..

(People: Can't you see while walking.. todays girls..)

The people walked away and khushi gets back to herself. As she wipes off her tears, more tears fall from her eyes. She felt like crying out loud as it strucks her. Why she has so much problem with this engagement?

Khushi: Yehh rishta.. yeh sagai.. babhi ke liye mein khushi se kardogi.. lekin jabse yeh shaadi ki baat ki yeh meine kyun realise nahi ki ke mein itna desperate, itna pareshaan kyun hai. How could I not realise ke mein ab Arnav ki nahin par ki Viren ki Khushi hai! These last months were the happiest of Kashish's life because of Arnav.. Itna obvious tha, ke mein arnav ke bina nahin rehsakte.. meri gussa meri jealousy meri insecurity..

(Khushi: This relationship.. this engagement.. For babhi I'd  do it happily.. but since they talked about this wedding why I didn't realize why I was so desperate, why I was so worried. How could I not realize that I'm nomore Arnav's but Viren's Khushi! These last months were the happiest moments of Kashish's life because of Arnav.. It was so obvious, that I cannot stay without Arnav.. My anger my jealousy my insecurity..)

And she lets a teary smile in between her sobs. And her eyes popped out..

Khushi: Oh f**k!... I'm in love with...

 [ BOOM ]

And the bomb blast echoes in the shopping mall.
