Tujhme Rab dikhta Hey

Three

"Hii..I am Arnav,Arnav Singh Raizada"Arnav introduced himself as he sat opposite to her.
He had stopped her at the bus stop and asked her out. And here they were..

"Khushi..Khushi Kumari Gupta"Khushi introduced herself following him..

She broke out giggling seeing his frown on her copying his tone..

Arnav looked at her..

"Sorry about that Sir.. It's just you are so formal"explained Khushi..

"Khushi.."Arnav called out the name as if tasting it and Khushi felt her whole body vibrating with it. His voice was husky and the way he spoke..

"Hey Devi maa. save me"Khushi prayed inside .

"Khushi..How old are you?Are you eighteen?"asked Arnav..

Khushi looked at the man with open mouth..

"Excuse me..Arnav ji..I am a big girl. I am 23.."said Khushi..

Arnav looked at her mesmerized. The way she looked at him,it made him think of a cat..

"Okay..You are a big girl"said Arnav with a naughty smirk playing on his lips as his eyes landed somewhere,where it should not be..

Khushi blushed. Her dupatta had risen up..

"Khushi..I would be frank. I like you. What do you think about me?"asked Arnav..

"Umm. Let me think.. But Arnavji. You are old. How old are you actually? 35-40?Right?"Khushi asked as her eyes danced with mischief..

"Actually Miss Gupta. I am 27..And for your kind information,if I am that old,and still this charming,then it's great right?"retorted Arnav..

Both bickered a little. And in this ,they became friendly. Exchanging numbers,both left.

That night Arnav's phone pinged with a message of Goodnight from Khushi to which he replied back..

Slowly love was growing. From simple messages to calls in late nights. Then dates. Everything was going well.

Arnav had told her about his work. Yet he kept his family private. Yet Khushi had shared everything with him.

Things were going well. Yet Khushi knew,Arnav didnot want to get married. Actually he didnot even propose her properly. There were no such things like I love you between them..

Dating was good. But she was not from those high society that she would go on a date and then it's over. She knew Arnav too understood that. That is why he kept distance between them. All they did was holding hands and some comforting hugs. Yet love was burning from both sides. Heart was craving for something more.

Six months passed. Slowly Anjali noticed the secret smile between the young girl in temple and her brother. And the late night talks. And Aman was stunned when Arnav called him Khushi that too during an important conference..

Aman and Anjali,the love birds discussed what was going on. Then detective Aman started. He found out about Khushi..Anjali was happy for her brother's choice but scared for Khushi. She knew she had to confront her brother and catch him in a trap..

So Anajli told Nani about Khushi. She didnot tell anything about the love between them. She just told her about the girl she met in the temple and soon Nani joined her to the temple.

She approved. Then it was a tough nut to crack to make the Manorama Raizada understand. Yet after learning that her chhote loves Khushi,she accepted..

Then lo and behold,Nani called her beloved grandson and told him to come home earlier..

It was a  heated discussion and argument. Yet the ladies won. Arnav accepted that he would meet the girl.

On the other side, soemone had already approached Gupta's with the relation,thanks to Aman. Gupta's had not informed Khushi. They too told her the same day.

Both love birds were devastated..Arnav was calm, deciding that no matter what he would reject her. Khushi too had told her father that she would reject him,if he does not meet her standard..

That night both talked a little and slept. Yet Khushi got up with puffy eyes and Arnav with red eyes.

Anjali smiled thinking about the scene where both Arnav and Khushi would face each other. But she never thought the scene would turn out to be like that..
