Chapter 26: Mon Amour

Another 2 years Later...

Mumbai....

XYZ Apartment..

Evening 7 P.M.

[ Arnav : 24 years, Khushi: 22 years ]

" May I?" Arnav whispered while their lips almost touched, breath mingle..

With a slight nod, Khushi closed her eyes when Arnav captured her lips ever so tenderly almost melting Khushi in his arms...

For the time being, Khushi forgot about the conflict, the sadness her heart was feeling few moments ago, yet surrender herself to the beautiful maze that Arnav had created...Though the distance between their heart remain the same, yet their lips fought for dominance with passion..

Because How much sad, conflicted, and busy or whatever Arnav and Khushi felt, the one feelings was common that, they missed each other terribly...

Few moments later...

Arnav and Khushi were sitting in the balcony holding each other in silence. Their thought were racing but not in the same direction.

Arnav is thinking about his life now, how after so much struggle he has achieved what he is today. A youngest manager in a reputed company with the best employee award, His upcoming promotion, his own flat from his hard earn money.. He remember how his boss Mr Gupta informed him that he could see his young self in Arnav, the dedication, hunger for success etc.etc., how Mr Gupta invited him in his house, introduced him with his family saying, " my younger version", how his father called him and say, " You had made me proud, chote,"it gave him immense peace when his mother, Reshmi called him and said, " I never thought you will survive this long in this corporate world, but I am impressed." Reshmi's words have an impact on Arnav always, after all its all started from there only, the silent war between the mother and son.. But now Reshmi, her thoughts and words only Increase Arnav's hunger for success..

Arnav smiled remembering how his mama, mami, dadi and nani bless him over the phone, their teary smile and proud voice still ring in his head. Arnav sigh remembering How his Avantikadi and Shyamal jiju with their little baby celebrated his success with their surprise visit to his flat along with Nikhil, Jayati, Aditya and Piya, even Amar and Sneha joined them through Video call. Arnav frown a little remembering that Khushi was the only person that day, who did not came Mumbai or she did not even called him enthusiastically that day. Arnav had thought to ask her, but with the pressure of work, he actually forgot.

With the thought, Arnav turn towards Khushi, who is silently sitting beside her, her luscious hair cascading like a waterfall, eyes deep with a sadness, the silence of Khushi making Arnav frown..

" What's wrong Khushi? What are you thinking?" Arnav asked but did not get the desired attention as he was expecting from his Khush.

" Khushi? Khush... Khushi??" Arnav literally shake Khushi to get her attention and it somewhere irk him.. Why Khushi is behaving such way? Was not his success made her happy? Or the worst, did Khushi lost faith in him? As he is taking too much time too became the man he always dreamed off?

Arnav suddenly felt restless.. Khushi is immensely beautiful, gorgeous, her heart is made of gold, and she is a girl who can enlighten anyone's life with her beautiful smile and twinkle in her eyes. Any boy can easily fall for her and cherish her for the lifetime.. With that thought, came a sudden insecurity and a uncertainty.. A sudden urge to hold Khushi close, may be touch her soul and never let her go, consume him.. Without thinking further Arnav turn Khushi towards him, cupped her face and captured her lips.. The desperation of Arnav not only starlet him but Khushi was shocked too.
