Arshi FF ~FORBIDDEN DESIRE~ (UL II) Chap 08



Chap 08

Denial

"What the?"
Arnav closed his eyes tightly while the naughty sun was penetrating through the window and straight to his face.
He tried to smuggle up with his pillow and felt a soft body touching his. He brushed his finger against her bare skin at the back and smuggled taking her in his arms. A cute smile kept on playing on his lips.
"Khushi!" he whispered in his sleep inhaling her intoxicating perfume.
He kissed her partition in sleep and placed his chin on her head.
Slowly he was greeted with her soft unconscious pecks on his neck. He smiled more and pressed himself more on her.
Gradually he opened his eyes and yawned.
"Something was different" he thought
"He was feeling nice" that's unusual, he thought and frowned.
He was trying to make sense of the situation when he felt her touch against his bare skin.
His eyes fell on her dress, which adored his wooden floor. Her long silky hair washed his pillow. her soft smooth figure perfectly matched every bit of his physic. His hand encircled her waist and the other one held her head possessively. Her hand rested in between them and the other holding his nape.
Khushi shifted in her sleep sensing a little discomfort process of which she ended up exposing her upper body to him.
Arnav just couldnot take his eyes off from her. Everything was just perfect in her.
He adored the bruises given by him and in no time he covered her with him holding her proudly in his arms.
"Khushi! He whispered against her ear making her wrap her arms around him once again.
"hmm!" she replied in sleep.
Arnav did not know why but he felt the moment should freeze. She should remain in his arms just like this. And he can look at her loving just like he was doing that that time.
He kissed her cheeks making slowly waking her up touching every part of her with his finger tip lingering it for sometime on those bruises. She was looking more beautiful in those bruises he thought. He too gazed his body and found her nail makes almost all over his body. He smiled feeling that finally he has submitted to her. He has never thought this moment will ever come in his life. He never thought the feeling which he wanted to know what it was when he was around Khushi will be the best feeling in this world. He never know
submitting can be so peaceful
submitting can be so beautiful.
He felt right for giving her his everything, he felt so proud of himself that he finally opened himself in front of the right girl.
He felt her body stiffening slowly. He knew she was about to wake up now. Slowly he moved back a little and looked at her. The lipstick mark was still very much visible in-between her partition and her swollen lips were driving him crazy.
Khushi chuckled when she sense a loss of touch. She slowly opened her lashes and met with his.
She smiled looking at him and hugged him back.
"I hope I can see your face every morning just like this".
Arnav did not know what to say. He just held her in his arms.
"I so wish that my this dream will come true someday. But I know he hates me a lot and I can never find my home in his arms", she pouted which made her lips touch his skin once again.
Arnav wonder what was she talking about. Was she still not in her senses.
Sensing something usually Khushi started checking the pillow beside her. But to he surprise she felt a hard form beside her.
"I think I have gone mad in his love, how can I feel this pillow as him? And how can it smell like him too?"
Khushi had a habit of talking to her pillow thinking that it was Arnav every morning ever since she was sent to abroad. She used to nuzzle her face and kiss the pillow thinking it as Arnav. So today was no exception except the fact that the pillow was indeed her Arnav.
She checked him once again toching his muscles at the back and slowly reality hit her.
She immidiatelly pulled back.
There eyes met after the previous night encounter and immediately there was spark. Khushi couldnot believe that he was indeed beside her, hugging her possessively.
She slowly touched his face blinking her lashes vigoursly feeling extremely nervous.
"Arrrnu'.av?" she chocked.
She moved few inches more and suddenly she felt a sharp needle like pain in her abdomen.
Quickly she held her stomach twitching her face muscles and that's when she realized their position. She slowly felt her bare skin against him and closed her eyes in embarrassment.
She was not able to make any sense what had happened. How it happened. And how they both ended up in such a position? She tried to recollect yesterday's night act but she failed miserably.
Her practical voice was telling her that nothing had happened, but her physical voice giving her right signal about what has happened yesterday night and her heart rejoiced thinking that last night she was with him, in his arms, taking him inside her, marking him his and surrendering her to him totally.
"Khushi!" he whispered in a mellowed tone.
That's when she came back to her senses.
What if he bad mouth her?
What if he says it was a blander
What if he doesnot aknowledge that beautiful moment and curse?
Slowly she covered herself taking the bedsheet and sat up.
On the other hand Arnav was trying to talk to her and take away her anxity. He was ready for her questions. He was ready to answer all.
He just waited for her to start.
Arnav shifted up confomfortabily and rested his back on the head rest. He tried to touch her palm but she removed his hand sensing his approach.
He looked at her retreating hand and fisted his own.
"Khushi! We have to'"
he couldnot complete when she said "WE WERE DRUNK".
Arnav just looked at her and was about to touch her face when she hit his hand by her waving it off.
"DON'T TOUCH ME MR RAIZADA. I DON'T WANT ANY EXPLANATION FROM YOU ABOUT THIS. NEITHER I WANT TO HERE NOT I WANT TO TALK ANYTHING ABOUT IT".
"Khushi but listen to me", he said in a composed tone.
"NO. I HAVE LISTENED ENOUGH and it was not my fault", she said
"Khushi! Stop it".
"No Mr Raizada, enough said bas aur nahi. Mujhe kuch nahi sunna hai samjhe aap? HOSH MEIN NAHI THE. Agar hotey to yeh kabhi nahi hota Arnav Singh Raizada. You would have never slept with me, in your room, on this bed".
Tears started forming in her eyes and arnav's patience's were hitting its saturation point.
The little he knew that Khushi herself was scared of his reaction. She did not want him to say anything negative about yesterday night. Though she hardly remembered what happened but whatever happened it was very clear that nothing was left in between them.
She looked at the bed and all her happiness suddenly clouded with the dark approaching cloud. The thought of him making out with sheetal in this very bed killed her.
Before she breaks down she wrapped sheet around her and stood up.
"Ouch!" she winced in pain
"Khushi careful" he knee crawled towards her.
Khushi stepped back pointing her index finger. "No Mr Raizada, humdardi nahi chahiye".
Arnav closed his eyes and tried to control his rage once again.
"It will not effect me and I will make sure that it doesnot effect me MR. ARNAV.SINGH RAIZADA" she said gritting her teeth.
Arnav shot a look at her when she utter the last line
"It will not effect her?" looking at her with hurt filled eyes
"It will not effect her?" he looked at her with questioning eyes
"It will not effect her?" he looked at her with angry eyes.
Khushi turned her back towards arnav and walked towards her dress, which lay on the floor. She picked it up and ran to his bathroom.
Leaning on the door she closed her eyes tightly and gulped hard.
A cute smile crept on her face and a happy tear rolled down her cheeks.
She touched herself and rejoiced each and every part of her own body. She felt happy to be marked by him.
"He'" she chocked.
"He touched me" she sighed in happiness.
"HE ACTUALLY TOUCHED ME" she thought it loud.
"How I might have felt when his fingers devoured me".
She touched her lips and sand on the floor. her tears had no bound this morning.
**
Arnav was still on the bed recollecting what had happened between them last night. Unlike khushi , Arnav remembered each and everything that has happened between them.
"It was magical" he noted mentally
Pushing his head towards the head board he recollected her words "please arnav'.let me'"
His trace broke when khushi came out of his bathroom wearing her dress. It was not helping her to cover his marks on her. Her neck, her nape, her arms everywhere his marks were visible.
Her maag was still filled with that red colour and she was just looking stunning he thought. Like a perfect bride on the very next day of her suhaag raat.
Her eyes were not down cast, she did not look nervous, her vision straight on arnav locking her eyes with him.
A graceful figure walked towards him and stood in front of him.
"I will not ask you why you did it, I will not ask what made you do that with me, I will beg you to love me for this, I will not ask you to explain, if you think it was a mistake you are free to think whatever you want Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. You will not get a single tear from this Khushi Kumari Gupta. You will not get a single plead from me".
"as I said earlier this is not going to effect me at all because it happened when we were intoxicated. Raat gai baat gai". With that she stormed out of his room picking up her shoes slamming the door behind.
Arnav was so messed up that he just could not counter khushi. He kept on looking at his khushi, no a changed khushi, who loved him unconditionally, never complained about anything, just given him immense love, but today when he needed her warmth the most, she just flew away from him life, leaving him in a miserable state.
He had no intension to hurt her today, he just wanted to talk to her. TALK TO HER that's all. He wanted to apologize for everything that he had done. He still couldnot forget about his parents death but still he couldnot but to fall for her madly and deeply.
"Mistake?" he thought her words still ringing his ears
"how can it be a mistake khushi? It was so beautiful and your last words yesterday night showed how much I mean to you and the way I reciprocated made it very clear what position you hold in my life.
Arnav closed his eyes again drowning in the pool of thoughts'
~FLASHBACK~
"arnav I should leave" she whispered while he released his grip from her.
Their eyes met instantly.
"Go" he said pecking her lips.
Khushi unwillingly turned her back towards him and walked towards the door. When she was about to open the door, a strong arm slap shut the door with his palm.
Khushi looked at his hand few inches away from her face and in no time she was pressed against the door. His entire body was crashed at her back and she was trapped against him and the door. her face was pressed against the door sideways making her lips pout. Some of her fringes tickling her nervous face by her own hot breath.
Arnav removed her long hair sideways and started to put wet kissing on her bare back. With his teeth he opened her zip making khushi gasp with the touch of her back brushing in the process.
She forcefully turned towards him and hugged him tightly. She did not know when she was swiped in his arms and put done on the bed leaving her dress on the floor.
His touch
Her gasp
His wet kisses
Her moans
His movements
Her gripping his hair
His pulling her hair
Her giving in
His groans
Her sweet kisses
The entire room furnished with their moment of love, the moment of togetherness, witnessing their immense love, desire for each other.
They claimed each other in no time giving themselves the greatest pleasure of this world. There was not act left in between them. Devouring each other in every single way possible.
**
He was about to stop when he almost reached him climax when she said holding him in place. "Please arnav give me".
Shock was an understatement for arnav he felt at that moment.
"Khushi, i'. I cant" he said caressing her hair.
"why? Arnav? Why? Whay cant you?"
"khushi! Are you crazy how can I?"
Khushi gave him a mocking laugh while her tear did not betray her inner feelings, "you are scared Mr. Raizada?"
Arnav's eyes immediately mellowed. He kissed her lips and whispered against her lips "what if?"
"I want it arnav is all I know. I have never asked anything from you, did i?"
"No" he whispered closing his eyes feeling her swollen lips.
"please arnav, don't ditch me today" her tears started flowing down her cheeks making its way towards the pillow and soaking it.
"Kal mein tumhe hamesha hamesha ke liya chodke jayungi. Bas yehi hai jo sang leke jana chahiti hoon aur agar bhagwan ji ki kripa hoga then a life will breath inside me soon which is a part of you".
Her sobs are now turning into cry, "I promise'u" she chocked.
"I promise you arnu, if I conceive after this I will never ever claim anything from you. I will be happy to have this baby as your akhri nishani and go far far away from your world".
Arnav just couldnot bear this anymore.
Finally he put an end to his inner turmoil. He bathe her with his love in no time holding her securely in his arms.

Arshi FF ~FORBIDDEN DESIRE~ (UL II) Chap 07



Chap 07

Unexpectedly Expected
(title credit inspired from saucechips)

He was sitting on the bar stool consuming shots after shots after what had happened few minutes back.
"How could she?" he thought.
"how could SHE?" he thought again this time giving emphasis on SHE.
He closed his eyes in frustration and the entire scene of her kissing samrat played back in his mind.
How samrat pulled her towards him and practically his every part touched her in that pull, (he thought brushing his damp hair, which was due to the uneasiness he felt).
How she closed her eyes when samrat approached towards her lips. (he fisted his on arm which was resting on the counter and gripped another shot glass almost crushing it in his clutches).
Why she at all wanted to participate in this stupid kissing compition? (he opened his eyes in took his 7th shot and banged the glass on the wooden bar counter).
And that looser he was practically eating her lips up. ("one more shot", he ordered the bartender).
He just couldnot wipe of her image after that kiss. The sight of her smugged red lipstick was making him more messed up.
**
Khushi was in the dance floor, dancing carefree. Not due to joy but due to high intoxication.  Her kohl was spoiled which clearly showed that she cried. Her legs were giving up due to the dizziness. Her mind only concentrating on recent events. To be precise, the very recent events.
"He did not stop me" she pouted.
"he doesnot care if I kiss someone" she started dancing again.
"he kissed that b**** that to infront of this whole world showing oh-i-possess-her, she-is-my-girl". She laughed out loud.
"And what the hell was he doing trapping me in my room when I went to do touch up".
~FLASHBACK~
Khushi immediately ran towards her room after freeing her from samrats embrace wiping her lips. She felt disgusted to be touched by someone else. Furiously crying she ran up.
Arnav's anger touched heights today. he just couldnot kiss sheetal more than 3 seconds maximum hence chose to lose the game for the first time in his life. He just couldnot tolerate the fact that his Khushi was in someone else's arms and kissing.
He followed Khushi to her room.
**
She went inside and vented out her frustration in the bathroom.
"how could he?" she cried out loud. Flashes of him kissing Sheetal clouded her thoights.
"how could he just kiss her?" she whispered slipping down on the floor.
**
After a minute or so she came out and was immediately pinned near the adjacent wall.
"Arnav!" she was shocked.
He was spitting draggers through his eyes but that did not have any effect on Khushi.
She pushed him with whatever little strength she had but failed to move him a tiny bit.
"I.need.answer.miss.gupta. why the hell did you kiss that'."
he couldnot complete his words when she spatted out.
"husband'.he is my husband-to-be Mr. R.a.i.z.a.d.a" she said directly looking into in eyes.
She saw him going stiff, his jaw clutched, his eyes dangerously fixed on her.
"He was not only kissing you, he was bloody touching you everywhere KHUSHI!"
"to?" (so?) she asked frowning. As if the did what samrat was doing was the most natural thing for them to do.
Without thinking twice he smacked his lips with her and pulled her to a passionate kiss. He fought for dominance and he got what he wanted. Her sweet tongue. He was so desperate to taste her sweet nature. And when he got that he slowed down. Suddenly everything faded out and only their kiss became the center of attraction. He rested his palm on the either side of her hand on the wall, his body did not touch her at all. Only their lips mingled with each other. No matter how much Khushi tried to resist but once Arnav slowed down and captured her tongue she rested her head back on the wall gripping her own dress, letting him do what he wanted.
He moved up and saw her. Her eyes closed her lipstick smudged yet again. But this time by him. Her blush did not do unnoticed by him. "you are beautiful" he stated mentally.
"don't you dare let him touch you Miss gupta" he said in dominance.
Khushi opened her eyes and looked directly to him.
Khushi waved his amrs which caged her and spatted out...

"HaQ! hai uska, mera hone wala pati hai woh...woh jo chahe jaisa chahe mere saath kar sakta hai... and tum koi nahi ho mujhe bolne wale.. ek baar to kya sau baar hazar baar woh mujhe kiss kar sakta hai... chhu sakta hai... pya...ar kar sakta hai...samjhe tum? Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada"

"aur ek baat baar baar aise humme mat chuiye..subha se jo bhi tum kar rahe ho meye tumse kuch nahi kehrahi hoon iska matlab yeh nahi hai ki mujhe yeh sab achha lag raha hai...tumhari bhi shaadi hone wali hai...yeh sab tum raizada's ko shobha nahi deta hoga...kyun? meye ek padai ladki hoon aur tum mere koi nahi lagte...so dur raho mujse"

("He has got all the rights on me. He is my would be husband after all. He can do whatever he wants to with me, you are no one to dectate me all the time. He can kiss me not only hundred times but thousand times...he can touch me...he can feel me...he can lo...ve...me. do you understand Mr Raizada?"

"and yes another thing, dont touch me all the time...since morning whatever you are doing with me it is not right...i am not saying anything to you doesnot mean i am accepting your touch...you are also about to get married soon...and i dont think what you are doing is a right thing to do for raizada's isnt it? i am no one to you so you better stay away from me")
She said that flew from there in no time making him dumbfolded.
She approached towards the door and turned.
"and if you think that, this kiss will effect me. I am sorry to say now a days nothing related to you effect me Mr Raizada...NOTHING!" she shouted back gulping her hurt and ran away.
~END OF FLASHBACK~
EXTENSION
You are already 4 down Khushi.
Khushi saw the man standing beside her.
"sammy" she threw her arms around him.
She looked at him and giggled. Pointing her finger towards his nose she said "only 24 four hours more, hai na? then I will be marked by you forever". She said wiping her eyes.
"you crying?" he asked.
"NO…." she nodded like a kid pouting. "something gone inside my eyes".
"Khushi I think you need rest. Come I will take you to your room.
Samrat was about to hold her wrist when a strong grip stopped him from holding her.
Samrat looked at sidewyas and found equally messed up Arnav. He checked his hand and Arnav and then again to Khushi who stood closing her eyes still moving with the music beats.
**
After seeing off Shetal when Arnav was coming inside he saw samrat holding Khushi and telling her something. Due to loud music he couldnot here what he was telling Khushi. But he saw him gesturing her towards her bedroom.
Seeing that he paced up and held his hand.
**
"I think it's already late I think you should just leave now".
"NO! he will not leave Mr Raizada, he is my husband-to-be" she said unconsciously.
"you leave Mr. A.R.N.A.V" she said poking her chest. While doing that she got disbalanced and fell on arnav's chest.
"careful" samrat was about to hold her for support when Arnav stopped him showing his palm towards samrat.
"I am still her family, I will take it from here" Arnav said glaring ar samrat.
"family?" she giggled…"I don't have a family" she giggled again… "I am an orphan, hai na Mr. Raizada".
Arnav was shocked to her such words coming out from his Khushi. She never said something of this sort. It was Arnav who never failed to remind her of this ugly truth. But coming from this girl who always thought his house to her, his dadi as her own dadi and him to be…. (well he did not have any answer to that…or rather he have but he is not ready to accept that he means her life. For whom she breaths).
"Arnav, she is not…"
He did not let samrat complete his sentence, "you will teach me how to take care of her?"
"Before I speak something which I am not supposed to please leave Samrat".
With that he picked up his girl and walked passed Samrat, leaving behind a speechless samrat.
**
"chodo mujhe… leave me" she yelled and struggled to get down from arnav's arms but his hold was firm enough to carry her to his room.
After reaching there he steadied her on the floor.
Khushi pushed him with all her wits and barked "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME?"
Arnav agrily held her shoulder and dug his finger piercing her skin, "HOW DARE I TOUCH YOU? REALLY MISS GUPTA? LOOKS LIKE NOW A DAYS YOU FIND SOMEONE ELES TOUCH BETTER THAN MINE…Hai na?" he said angrily.
"That's non of your business Mr Raizada" she said while gritting her teeth, looking straight into his eyes.
"Ofcourse it is my business you woman. Don't forget you are in…."
She did not let him complete, "Raizada Mansion…I know I know. But even you are forgetting that he is my husband".
He started walking towards her and managed to corner her. Blocking her keeping his hand either side of her head "he is not your husband yet Miss. Khushi.Kumari.Gupta".
"after 24 hours he will become my husband Mr Arnav Singh Raizada. Your chosen husband".
"abhi tak huya nahi…so he doesnot have the right on you Miss Gupta" he said moving dangerously close to her face. "its better he keep his distance from you".
"MOVE BACK", she said eyeing back on him. "kis haq se you are standing so close to me? Mr. Raizada, he has more haq then you.
He gritted his teeth and spun her around and pinned her near the adjacent wall. Boring his eyes on her lips he asked her.
"Uska haq hai tumpe?" his dangerous voice sending shivers down her spine.
He pressed her wrist more.
Gathering whatever guts she possessed, she spatted, "haan hai!" (yes he has all the rights) she said unable to control her tears.
He looked at her with hurt filled eyes and loosened his grip. Khushi saw the same hurt in his eyes, which she had when Arnav did her rista with Sehgal family.
Slowly he relaxed his grip around her arms.
"aur meye kya lagta hoon tumhara?" he asked her leaning further towards her lips brushing his warm breath on her pulps making it burn in desire.
"mera haq kam ho jayega?" (will all my rights on you die after you get married?) he said almost brushing his lips on hers.
Khushi gasped and fisted her fingers feeling his lips yet again on hers.
"Bolo Khushi!" he said touching his full lips on hers this time, sliding his fingers towards her fist and slowly entwining his fingers with hers.
Khushi knuckles pressed against the wall…his fingers digging her skin…"bolo Khushi!" he repeated in a very firm tone.
"Arnav!" she mumbled against his lips.
"Who.am.i.to.you.khushi?" he said taking her lower lips inbetween his lips slowly nibbling it closing his eyes feeling her soft pulps to its fullest.
Khushi pushed him hard making him step back two three steps and was about to move from there. When he spun her around once again, but this time crashing her back against his chest, holding her perfectly toned waist and placing an open mouthed kiss on her creamy hot nape.
Khushi threw herself back feeling his hot fingers around her icy cold waist and his hot mouth on her nape. She did not know which one to stop first. His lips which were creating havoc senses around her nape of his hot fingers playing piano rhythms on her skin burning it in the process.
Feeling his fingers circling around her naval she whispered, "please for god sake stop it" in a throaty voice.
"WHY!?" he whispered near her ears, brushing his nose against her ear lobs…
She felt his hand moved away from her naval and touched her hands. She shivered in his touch and hid her face sideways near the crock of his nake sending tingling sensation to him. Her quivering soft lips kissing his skin.
He slowly dragged his fingers along her long arms and caught hold of her jacket, which she was wearing over her dress.
Holding the hem he slowly dropped the jacket on the floor exposing her milky white shoulder adored by the sleek glittery noddle strap, which held the entire dress.
Holding her both the hand he guided her to keep it, rather lock it behind his nape. He kissed his arms and touched her underarms then slowly moving his hand down touching her curves he rested his hand on her waist. With the other hand he undid her hair clip making her long hair fall straight.
Coming closer to her, he flushed himself with her, hiding his face in between her hair, smelling her fruity shampoo he let out a moan before whispering, "never, ever cut your hair Khushi, they are beautiful" he said with a lot of authority.
Khushi slowly opened her eyes, "does that mean he like my hair?". A small simple crept in her beautiful red lips.
"You….you like my…hair"? she questioned him in a whispering tone.
After a brief pause he said, "I like everything about you princess".
"did he just call her princess?" did he?" she did not know what to think and what not. She spun around and looked at him.
His desired filled face
His adams apple clearly being seen moving up and down due to his frequent gulps.
He slowly opened his drolly eyes and met hers.
Leaning slowly towards her lips he captured them with full of affection.
She closed her eyes when she felt his full lips on her and her tear made its way towards her neck leaving behind a trail mark on her cheeks.
She sighed on his lips and he slowly pulled back. With one hand he cupped her face and placed an open mouthed kiss on her forehead in between her hair.
He lingered his lips on her soft skin and then again pulled back slowly. He was about to kiss her eyes when his eyes fell on her maang (maang).
His heart thumped against his ribcage when he saw, his mark on her. Her red lipstick, which got transferred on his lips while kissing her, the same lip got transferred in between her maang (partition) when he kissed her forehead.
He did not know why he just pulled her in a bone-crashing hug after seeing her like that.
Was it another sign that they were meant to be together?

Precap
The night is still left. Expect the expected. Don't expected the unexpected.

Arshi FF ~FORBIDDEN DESIRE~ (UL II) Chap 06




Chap 06

The Ring Ceremony

"Namaste Nahi ji!" a very handsome man of 28 years touched the old lady's foot out of respect.
"Joog Joog Jiyu Samrat beyta" (May you live long) nani touched his cheecks and reciprocated his gesture.
Samrat scanned the entire hall, it was looking abosolutely marvelous' the blue and the white flowers making a unique merge of love and piece.
What stood out in the decoration was the way they played with the blend of two colours in the entire hall.
**
Two sleek arms hugged dadi from behind.
Dadi smiled and without looking at the person she said "Sheetal Bitiya!"
Sheetal kissed dadi from side ways and then came to touch her feet.
Dadi tucked her lips and hugged her. She brushed her hand on her back.
**
It was almost 30 mins that samrat and sheetal has arrived but there was no trace of the other two on the floor.
**
Suddenly hall way lights were dimmed and the two spot lights were focused on the two amazingly stunning looking man and a woman.
The prince and the princess, that's what came in everyone's mind seeing them standing together near the stair about to take a step down.
When the light went of Khushi's arms inveriabily went around his strong-arms due to fear of darkness. Arnav feeling her arms around his biceps looked at her. And their was an eye lock. Forgetting where they are standing, forgetting what is going on, forgetting everything, they looked at each other.
"beautiful" is the only world that he could come up with.
And looking at them the entire crowd was going gaga over making their respective partners unsecured.
Arnav unconsciously touched her fingers, which cling to him and started descending the stairs still maintaining the eye lock.
The couple was flooded with flashes immediately.
Some guys started saying "haye! Yeh dono ka saadi kyun hai huya ek saath? Kitna sona lagta hai yeh munda iske saath"
"we always thought they will end up getting married to each other. But destiny!"
**
After decending the final step Khushi felt another strong arms trying to hold her right palm and that's when reality hit her. She turned her head to see Samrat standing beside her. She quickly checked her left arm which snaked arnav's right hand and then looked up to see Arnav, still looking at her.
Slowly she released her grip on Arnav and took two steps sideways.
Feeling the lose of her touch Arnav instantly came back to his senses. He looked at samrat holding khushi's other hand and gazed his bicep, which was not devoid of her touch. More than his hand he felt the emptiness in his heart.
"Hi! ASR"
Arnav turned to his left to find his bride standing wearing a blue lehenga designed by AR.
Hearing Sheetel's shrilled voice Khushi turned towards her only to get hurt seeing her in Arnav's favourite colour.
"He designed a blue lehenga for her?" she thought gulping her sorrows. Her heart swelled up and eye ready to spill. But somehow she controlled it.
"Blue? Why on the earth is she wearing this? This material I chose for Khushi" Arnav thought and became frustrated to the blunder committed by his employees.
He did not know why he just wanted to clarify to Khushi that, the material was for her. He was about to speak to her when he saw her slightly teary tears and her gulping. He closed his eyes in frustration and before he could approach Khushi and tell her the truth, he saw samrat going down his knees holding her right hand and looking up at Khushi.
"Shall We?" he asked her before pecking her knuckles'
Khushi gave a half-hearted smile and nodded in approval. She did not dare to look at the other man who stood rooted beside her. She could easily sense sudden rise of temperature and she started feeling suffocated.
Samrat stood up and pulled Khushi along with him giving a smile to Arnav.
The lose that Arnav felt when she released his hand was nothing compared to what he was feeling at that moment. Someone just came and took Khushi from his side. His Khushi? And he did not do anything about it? And she? So easily went to the other man? Leaving behind her Arnu?
The emotional tumoil what he was going though was unexplainable. Even he himself did not know what he wanted.
Wasnot he the one who wanted to get Khushi married?
Wasn't he the man who wanted Khushi out of his life?
Wasnot he the man who insulted her god knows how many times?
Wasnot he the one who blamed her for his parent's death?
Wasnot he the man who sent her abroad so that he doesnot have to see her face?
Then'.
Why did he slid his mothers ring in her finger and felt the warmth spread across his heart? Why he felt as if his parents witness their special moment? Why he felt they blessed him and showered him with love when the ring finally touched her finger and fitted her finger exactly the way it should be?
Why despite of wanting her out of his life, he long for her when she was not around and seeing her he felt relaxed?
Why he felt a sharp pain whenever he insulted her? If was as if he was insulting himself. And why always after every fight he wanted to take her in his arms? Hug her? Kiss her?
Why he always felt he was wrong when he insulted her for his parents death?
Why his lif became miserable when he forcefully send her abroad? Why he became more arrogant after that? why he shut himself off from everything around him? Why he counted every single day till she was back in his house after two years?
Why his Khushi (happiness) was out of his life for two long years?
His inner soul could only took one name "Khushi!" the word slipped from his lips as a melodious whisper.
And that moment Khushi turned and looked at him.
**
Feeling as if Arnav was calling her she turned and saw directly in his eyes' and she saw something, which she aways wanted to see in that hidden mask' the pain.
The pain that she felt everytime he pushed her away from him
The pain she felt everytime he insulted her
The pain when he forced her to go abroad.
The pain she felt each and every day feeling dejected and rejected.
The pain she gone thought when he agreed to get married.
The pain she felt when he did not acknowledge their secret engagement.
The pain she felt when he kissed her and did not gave her a scope to talk to him.
The pain she felt when each time he blamed him for his parents death.
It was the same pain she saw in his eyes. The same helplessness which she has gone thought almost 16 years now.
The pain that only see could see and only she could feel.
he felt a soft palm caressing his rough stubbles. He broke the eye lock with Khushi as saw his fianc standing beside him. "what happened baby? You look upset? Is everything ok?" sheetal asked stealing glances of Khushi.
Arnav removed her hand from his cheek and was about to walk when sheetel slid her arms around his biceps and flushed herself with him.
It was the same position how Arnav and Khushi was few minutes back, but it felt so different. He saw Khushi once after glancing over sheetal's arms and started walking towards Khushi and samrat.
Khushi just couldnot bear any more. She was absolutely disturbed seen another woman beside him. Not that she never witnessed sheetal beside Arnav, but after their kiss and that accidental engagement Khushi was not about to think straight anymore. An unknown possessiveness started brewing up the atmosphere between the two.
Watching khushi's entwined finger with samrat he just wanted to rip apart the guy and Khushi. "how could she let him touch her" was the first question came in his mind.
Seeing sheetal's arms around arnav's, the first thing which came in her mind was "maybe he likes to be touched by her unlike me".
In the process Khushi dug her nails in samrat's hand.
Samrat was looking at Arnav and sheetal when they were approaching them. Feeling her nails, he looked at her and said, "wait for few more hours sweetheart. Its just a matter of one day".
Hearing this the reality hit her badly. "he will touch her" she felt like dieing even thinking of those words forget about what will happen with it will actually happen. She in samrat's arms…
**
"did he just say that? DID HE JUST SAY THAT?" he thought…
His blood started boiling immediately. The thought of Khushi in his arms and nude… he shot and angry look towards both of them… he fisted his finger and was ready to punch that man. "He just cannot touch my Khushi" he thought. "he just cannot"… "she is mine"… "and he dare not touch her"… "how dare he think so cheaply"… and Khushi?
He saw her all nervous but still holding samrat's hand. He felt disgusted. He was about to spat out when he heard dadi announcing about their ring ceremony.
**
the two brides were guided by the two handsome grooms on stage. Arnav and Khushi stole glances at each other. Did not know how to react to this uneasy situation.
Dadi handed over the rings to Arnav and Khushi.
After a brief moment it was khsuhi's turn to slid the ring in samrat's finger and make him his fianc. With heavy heart she put the ring in his finger, looking down not wanting to look at him. Arnav felt a tug inside his stomach when he saw the ring being slid in samrat's finger by non other than Khushi. But inside he did not know why he was a little happy that samrat was not the first person to whom she slid the ring.
His chain of thoughts broke a samrat's voice, "khushi! Yeh kya? Tumne to pehle se hi ek ring pehni hui hai".
Arnav gazed his mother's ring in her finger and felt happy that now samrat cannot slid his ring in her ring finger as he knew that the ring is too tight to come out.
Khushi remained quite, still looking down.
"Koi baat nahi beta us angoothi ko kholke pehna do" nani said (no problem son, open that ring and make her wear your ring)
Khushi suddenly felt nervous. She did not want to open that ring at any cost and definitely not by samrat. Without looking at samrat she looked at anrav who was standing behind samrat.
**
Samrat held the ring and struggled to open it. But it was just too tight to come out. When it did not come out, he tried to pull it harder…
"aah!" Khushi cried in pain.
If the situation permitted arnv would have killed samrat for forcing like that on Khushi.
"Please leave me samrat. This is not coming out. Aur kitna dard do ge?"
Arnav was about to walk towards samrat and grab his collar seeing a tiny tear which formed at the corner of her eyes, when he heard "then why did you wear it in that finger Khushi?
"Its here choice what she wants to wear and were she wants to wear Mr. Sehgal. Waise bhi I don't think sliding it in the other finger will reduce her love for you".
Khushi shot a look towards Arnav, "did he just say reduce my love for him? Cant he just see how much I love him (Arnav)? How can he say that in front of the entire guest? He is very well aware of that I don't like samrat and I feel nothing about samrat then why? Why all the time he doesnot leave a scope to make things difficult for me?"
"It was a mistake sammy. I am sorry" Khushi said exchanging her left palm with the right palm and shot an angry look to Arnav.
**
"did she just say it was a mistake? Mistake? Me sliding the ring in her finger was a mistake? Really Khushi kumari gupta? Fine. Now just wait and watch.
With that he started opening his plaster.
In the meantime samrat slid the ring in her right hand's ring finger.
**
It was now Arnav's turn. He held sheetal's hand and slid the ring. The crowd brust out clapping and cheering ASR's fianc. Khushi just looked away not able to see Arnav and sheetal standing hand in hand. And the very fact was that he just made sheetal his official fianc.
"ASR! Give me your hand".
Arnav gave her his left hand and sheetal almost screamed.
She was about to faint when Arnav held her in his arms.
Khushi came running hearing her scream and held her.
"what happened sheetal are you ok?"
"khhhushi….ASR….is hurt". She said pointed her finger.
Khushi saw the open wound and questioned Arnav through her eyes.
**
Arnav steadied sheetal and ordered her to slid the ring in that finger only. He was just desperate now. He anyhow wanted sheetal to slid the ring in his left hand finger.
"I cant ASR. I cant hurt you more"
"Listen to me sheetal, just do as I say".
"I have given the right to you only to put the ring"
"but ASR"
"Sheetal just do it. I want this ring to cover this ugly wound".
Khushi was shocked…"ugly wound?" she just couldnot hold back her tears and ran towards samrat and hugged him infront of the whole crowd.
While arnav's eye traveled towards her running figure he was too shocked to see Khushi in Samrat's arms.
"SLID IT NOW" Arnav ordered sheetal
Khushi cluteched samrat all the more hearing the authoritive voice which she thought was only for her. But now everything related to him will be only for sheetal.
"I cant ASR. Sheetal started sobbing badly".
Dadi exactly knew that it was time for her to intervene now.
"Arnav beta koi baat nahi, let he slid it in your right finger. Waise bhi it hardly matters no? few minutes back you only explained.
"Dadi par?"
"I am sure sheetal will love you the most. And exchanging ring is just for making it official that the girl is now booked by you. just like Khushi is now Samrat's.
Hearing the very line "Khushi is not samrat's" anrav did not protest much. Everything was coming to an end as if. He gave his right arm to let sheetal slid the ring.
