SS: Miss Touch-Me-(Not) Chapter 7

Chapter 7  - Namaste ArnavJi 

But the hitler never came! Instead her eyes get wide open as she sees an irritated and yellow Arnav standing infront of her. The world stops...Her breath stops, and Khushi...

She thinks: Nightmare.. nightmare! Wake up Khushi!

Arnav clenched his fists and lifts his eyes towards Khushi angrily. But his words never came as he looked at Lavanya who gets hold of his arms to calm him down. Khushi was confused. She was still praying that all this was nightmare. Payal and Viren rush to Khushi while she was staring at Arnav silently in shock. Payal was very tensed that Nanaji might come any moment and she finally steps in to cover Khushi as usual.

Payal: I'm really sorry Arnavji, Lavanyaji.. This is Khushi, my sister in law..

On seeing no reaction from Khushi, she was puzzled and elbowed Khushi.

Khushi: aaa!

It hit hard, and she looked at Payal irritatingly. Payal signed to her towards Arnav.

Payal: Khushi, say sorry!

But Lavanya interrupts them.

Lavanya: It's ok Payal ji. There's no problem, it can be washed off.

As she hears an unknown voice, Khushi finally realizes the presence of Lavanya. Her eyes fall on a beautiful girl, quite hot, gripped to Arnav's arm. She raises her eyebrows in confusion.

Khushi thinks: Arnav? What's going on? Aur yeh bimbo kaun hai?... Wait a sec, why isn't he surprise to see me? Oh goshhh.. is he following me? But Babhi ne kaha ke renovation ke liye? Toh iss ka matlab... (Arnav? What's going on? And who is this stupid girl?.. Wait a sec, why isn't he surprise to see me? Oh goshhh.. is he following me? But Babhi said it's for the renovation? That means..)

And it struck. For a second, she felt her heart stopping as she realizes that Arnav is here for the renovation. She felt her knees loosing and she managed standing straight waiting for the tsunami in her house. Arnav turned towards her and Khushi was shocked as instead of anger she saw a smile on his face. Viren comes forward and gives out his hands towards Arnav.

Viren: Hey Dude, I'm Viren! So sorry for this.. Yeh mere liye tha par tumhare sar par girgaya.. (Hey Dude, I'm Viren! So sorry for this.. This was for me but it fell on you)

Arnav takes his hands and smirks.

ASR: It's ok!

He looked at Khushi letting a quiet laugh when Viren interrupts him.

Viren: Are, chupchupke kyun hasrahe ho, khul ke haso, vaise bhi aisa chehra kab phir se dhikega. (why are you hesitating to laugh, you can laugh, and anyways when are we going such face again)

As the two guys burst out laughing, Khushi touches her face and remembers that she is covered of yellow paste. She lets out a breath of relief as she realizes the reason why Arnav is not shocked. He actually hasn't recognized her. She turned but her steps stopped as Viren called her out.

Viren: Khushi, at least say hi and sorry before going away!

In other case, Viren would be definitely dead but thankfully to him, Arnav didn't recognize her. She faked a smile and turns back to them. Joining her hands,..

Khushi: Namaste Arnavji.. Hamein maaf kardijiye!

And she turns away without giving him any chance to reply. She runs up the stairs, followed by the amused look of Arnav.

ASR thinks: Weird Girl... Par yeh aavaz! (Weird Girl... but this voice!)

He brushed off his thoughts and Payal guides them to their room. Lavanya was given a room near Payal's room while Arnav's room was coincidently next to Khushi's. As he pass by her room, Khushi, very tensed, takes out her head spying on him while he enters the room. She closes back the door, and walks from right to left, biting her nails.

Khushi: Yeh nahi hosakta.. yeh nahi hosakta.. yeh nahi hosakta.. yeh nahi hosakta.. Don't worry Khushi.. Yeh to sapna hai, You'll wake up... Wake up Khushi.. Wake up! (This can't happen.. this can't happen.. this can't happen.. this can't happen.. Don't worry Khushi.. It's just a dream, You'll wake up... Wake up Khushi.. Wake up!)

She turns towards the door as she hears Payal.

Payal: Kya hua Khushi? Tum itna tensed kyun hai.. Don't worry, meine lavanyaji aur arnavji se request ki ke wo nanaji se kuch mat kahe. (What happen Khushi? Why are you so tensed.. Don't worry, I requested Arnav & Lavanya not to say anything about this incident)

Khushi: What are you saying Babhi, it's just a nightmare!

Payal gets confused.

Payal: Kya? (What?)

And amused, she pinches Khushi who cries at the pain. She looked at Payal sadly and in a sad voice..

Khushi: Yeh sapna nahi hai? (This is not a dream?)

Payal smiled at her and nodded.

Payal: Nahi princess.. yeh real hai... so please go wash your face and come for dinner. (No princess.. this is real... so please go wash your face and come for dinner.)

Payal leaves the room while Khushi stays frozen on her foot without any escapade.

30 minutes later

She opens the door and takes out her head. She takes a look at the surroundings assuring that her way is clear. Getting out of her room like a thief, she rushes out without a noise, hiding in every corner till she reaches the room of Anu. Anu was infront of the mirror admiring her new dress when khushi barged into her room. Happily she turns to Khushi...

Anu: See hottie, how is the dress? It is perfect for the contest. I love it!

But Khushi had no interest to look at her. She sits on the bed, lost in her thoughts. Tensed like hell, she was desperate. Anu finally noticed her tensed look and approached her. She laid a hand on her shoulder.

Anu: Hottie? What happen?

Khushi: Dead?

Anu: What?

khushi: I'm dead!

Anu was confused. Khushi turns to her and holds her hands desperately.

Khushi: Anu, help me! I have to run away..

Anu: What are you saying Hottie? stop joking yaar...

Khushi suddenly stands up and yells.

Khushi: This is not the time for jokes, i got a serious problem.

Anu: problem? kaisi problem? (problem? What problem?)

Khushi: Arnav Singh Raizada!

Anu was excited on hearing Arnav's name. She heard about him so many times and she noticed the happiness in Khushi's voice when she talks about him. She thinks that Arnav is her hottie's boyfriend while Khushi always rectifies her saying that he's only a good friend. When she saw his photo for the first time, mindedly she already married her hottie to Arnav!

Anu: ASR.. Did he call?

Having no response, Anu shakes her and Khushi turned to her.

Khushi: he is in india!

Anu: wow... that's great!... oh now i understand.. come on hottie, india is so huge, and you are worried that he might get to you.. don't be ridiculous.

And she nodded and gets back to the mirror. Suddenly her eyes popped out as she heard the words of Khushi.

Khushi: he is in our guest room... cleaning up the yellow paste I threw on him.

She rushes to her in shock.. and stammered.

Anu: when,... how.. i mean what is he doing here?

Khushi: He is the guest of nanaji.. For the renovation of the house!

Anu tensed, she paced the room left to right.

Anu: shit! shit! shit!... ok let's just relax..

She approaches khushi.

Anu: what should we do now? if you try to explain, after all he loves you,..

Anu's words stopped as khushi looked at her angrily..

Khushi: we have such a serious problem, and you can only think about jokes.

Anu: ok i'm sorry, i was just thinking about a solution. don't be angry! ... but what are you going to do? he can see you any moment, he'll be living here!

Khushi: we'll think about it later, but right now you have to rush to the dining table and make some excuse. just say that i'm not well or something..

Anu: but...

Khushi: no buts Anu else i'm dead!

Anu gulps back her fear and nodded. she rushes to the washroom and changes the dress before leaving her room. On her way to the stairs, she bumps into Arnav who was coming from the guest room.

Anu: Aaaiiieee..

ASR: hey beautiful princess, i'm so sorry! you ok?

On the spot, Anu was shocked but as she heard the sweet words of Arnav, a bright smile appears on her cute face.

Anu thinks: ohhh he's sooo cute.. if hottie denies to marry him, i'll surely propose him.

Anu: it's ok.. by the way i'm anu, iss ghar ki sabse pyari beti! mujse dosti karogi? (it's ok.. by the way, I'm Anu, cutest daughter of the house! Will you be my friend?)

... and she gives her hands to arnav while arnav laughed at her cuteness. He approaches the little girl and bends on his knees.

Arnav: ok little princess, let's say "friends".. my name is arnav!

They shake hands, while khushi has been looking at them from far away. Anu lets a breath of relief and smiled at Arnav.

Anu thinks: First rule, always be close to your enmies. i learnt this from hottie,..

While walking to the stairs alongside Arnav, she turns and winks to Khushi. The dinner went well, Anu managed to handle khushi's absence and after dinner they all were in the living room chatting. Nanaji talked a lot to Arnav. Surprisingly he liked Arnav talks and his principles.. In the room, alone, Khushi was starving. it was 10 p.m and the wait was getting even more longer. In between, Payal came to see her in the room of Anu but she faked being sick and asleep. Around 11, they all reside to their rooms and Anu rushes to Khushi but she already fell asleep. Anu preferred not to wake her and she also gets to bed. Some hours later, Khushi's sleep breaks with a loud stomach. She gets into her slippers and walks down to the kitchen,.. scared but she didn't switch on the lights. She reached the kitchen, and fell on everything she got from the fridge. As she was drinking water, suddenly she sees some light. She thought it might be some servants or payal but to her shock, she spots Arnav coming down the stairs. Immediately she bends down, hiding behind the kitchen counter. As her worst fears is coming towards her, she prays to god that he doesn't get into the kitchen but her eyes gets wide open when she hears his steps nearer. Arnav steps into the kitchen and sees the water bottle on the counter. He approaches the counter and takes the bottle. As he drinks some water, khushi two steps away, she blocks her mouth not letting any noise out. Arnav finally heads out of the kitchen and rushes to the room upstairs. When she sees the light is off, khushi lets a breath. She gets to her feet and finishes her dinner in a minute. She rushes up the stairs. While passing by the room of Arnav, suddenly she gets startled as a hand grabs her and pulls her inside. In the dark, she could see nothing and the hand blocking her mouth stopped her from screaming. On the spot, she was scared. But fear turns into shock as she hears his voice..

ASR: Aankhen band kar ke bhi, tujhe pechaan sakta hoon mein,... Kashish!.. or should I say.. Khushi ji! (Even if my eyes are closed, I can recognize you,.. kashish!.. or should I say.. Khushi ji!)
