Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

Part 58

"Let's live together already." Khushi said while they were lying on the bed.

"You just want your brothers to murder me." Arnav joked.

"Why is everyone so scared of them? They are progressive like that, I know they aren't against live-in relationships." Khushi rolled her eyes.

"They might not be against it, but when it comes to you, you know how they are, they literally sent you to Australia away from me once the found out we were together, if they find out we're planning to live together, they might send you to mars or something." Arnav laughed.

"Just say you've changed you mind about us living together." Khushi pouted.

"I haven't, if anything I want it more but I'm just so scared of them, I might do one thing to offend them and they will throw me out of your life."

"Heyy, it's my decision too, it's not like they will decide to get rid of you and I'd go along, I love you Arnav, we're both adults, we're ready to live together, why is that so hard to understand? At least let me talk to them and then see what they say?"

"Okay, you can try to talk to them, but as far as I've known them, I doubt they will agree."

"I know how to convince them." Khushi smirked.

"If you say so." Arnav nodded in agreement, and then just then, they were startled by the sound of the doorbell.

"Holy crap! Who's early?" Khushi jumped out of her bed trying to put on her clothes quickly so she could rush to unlock the door, it's good she had locked it by the stopper inside so her brothers couldn't get it even if they had the keys.

"Hide somewhere!" She said to Arnav who was still lying on the bed, not seeming to be worried at all.

She rushed downstairs to open the door while Arnav too got dressed quickly and then started looking around for a spot to hide.

She opened the door and found Rudra standing outside, so he was the one that came home earlier than usual, why? Did he just figure out something was fishy?

"Why did you lock the door?" He asked as he walked in and sat down on the sofa.

"Arjun went out and I also went for a date with Arnav so we sent the servants home, I came back early and I was all alone so I locked it to be safe." Khushi lied.

"I thought Arnav was here, isn't his car outside?" Rudra looked at her suspiciously as he stood up and started heading upstairs.

"What are you hiding from me Khushi?" He asked as he headed towards her bedroom.

"Nothing... he came to drop me home from the date and then the car wouldn't start, so he left it here and went to get someone to help with it." She said nervously hoping he was going to believe her.

Rudra walked into her room and looked around, he even went to the washroom to check if Arnav was still here and Khushi was lying but he didn't find him.

"Hey! Even if he was here, you don't have to be so suspicious, he's not a serial killer, chill bro." Khushi said.

"He might not be a serial killer but he's your boyfriend and I smell something fishy."

"Jeez, even if it was anything like you're thinking, we aren't kids. We're adults, do you still have to check my room just to see if I'm hiding my boyfriend somewhere? You should let me grow up and handle my life on my on!" Khushi said angrily.

Rudra stared at her silently for a moment and then nodded as he started heading downstairs again.

"You're right, you are adults. Maybe we should get you two married now so we don't have to be always spying on you." He joked.
