Chance

I asked you something..

And we both know the answer..
Arnav said while grabbing the tissue and wiping her hands tenderly. .

No... I don't know...

Khushi said while taking her hands out of his hold.
He immediately held her hands back as if losing her touch would break the control he was having over his rage.

You know Khush....

Still... Tell me...

Will you listen?
He said while bringing her close and her back hit the basin.
The intensity of his gaze successfully brought her goosebumps to existence and he further moved to close the little distance left.

Tell Khush will you listen to my answer?...

Khushi nodded her head slowly while hands made it's way to clutch his shirt.

I know that my touch won't burn you.. Do you know how I can tell you this?

Khushi shook her head in no and he continued.

Cause these eyes... These pretty damn eyes of yours * he leaned in and pecked each eye for few seconds making her clutch on his shirt more.. Always told me what you felt... Even when I touched you... Even when That dickhead touched you... Your eyes told me everything you felt...

Khushi couldn't hold his gaze thus looked down. He placed his lips on her forehead and heard a audible gasp from her.

Look at me Khush...

Leave Arnav..

On hearing his name from her after so long time made him pull her chin up and she could see his eyes shining.

What did you say?

Le-.. Leave...

She replied while he pressed his forehead on hers.

Call me by my name Khush...

I shouldn't...

Why?

You are my jiji's boss-..

And before she could complete her sentence he held her nape and pressed his lips at the corner of her lip leaving nail sized distance between his lips and the angle of her lips.

His lips stayed for a while and his deep breathes showed the way he was trying to keep everything in control.

You damn well know that we are not just what you said Khush...

Khushi pushed his face back and clutched his collar.

And you damn well know the limits we share Mr. Raiz-.

In what illusion are you and I share no limits..
He said while gritting his teeth and his hold on her waist tightened.

But we should... My jiji is marrying your best friend... My Bhai is going ot marry your sister.. We should respect the relationship Mr. Raizada...

She said while trying to push him away.

What if I want more? He said suddenly and she could make out the vulnerability his voice and eyes held.

Come back to real world Mr. Raizada... You shouldn't have a girl who spend her nights in random people's farmhouses.

Khushi said while he sensed the hurt in her voice. His hold loosened for a second in shock and she took the chance to push him away.

As if he got jerked out of his trance, he immediately stepped forward to cover the distance but she put her arm in front of him.

Don't Mr. Raizada... Once broken, things can't be same again...

She said and was about to leave when he again held her hand and pulled her back to crush on his chest. He swiftly made her face the mirror while his arms caged her from behind.

Can't you give me a chance to heal it...

No... There is no point of healing... It's dead alrea-

It isn't Khush...

It is..

No... I can still feel it here... He said while holding her palm in his and placed it on her heart. Khushi closed her eyes while he slid his other palm on her waist.

Let's stop this Arnav... Things are already messed up...

Hearing her he left her palm and caged her as a seatbelt while his other hand circled her whole waist.

Khushi's hands went to his forearms and seeing trying to get out, he tightened his hold.

Please Arnav...

That's what I'm saying Khush... Please... One chance.... Just one chance and WE will be out of this mess...

What if you break my heart again?
She said while tears made her way to her cheeks.

He gently pecked her tears while tightening his hold.

I won't Khush... Trust me..

I won't... I won't trust you again...

Then let me gain your trust Khush... But for now I need only two things....

Hmm..?

A chance and assurance... A chance to get US back... Assurance that you won't suppress  your heart..
Tell me Khush... Can I have them?

Khushi stayed still and after few minutes she finally looked at his image in the mirror. He was already staring at her with every emotions on display.

She took a deep breathe and slowly nodded making Arnav's heart jump in glee.

He turned her around while smile spread on his face.

Thank you thank you Khush..
He was about to hug her when she took few steps away.

I too need one thing from you Arnav

Hmm?

I want you to control your rage...

I tried Khush... I tried many times.. But..

Please.. For once..

Hmm.. For us.

He agreed and pulled her into a warm hug.

Let's go?... Jiji and jiju might be waiting for us..

Uhm.. My coat..

Oh right said Khushi and took her coat to clean..

Arnav stood behind her all the time gazing at her. Khushi seemingly avoided his gaze but he wasn't budging away any time soon.

Done

Khushi said and soon felt him hugging her from back.

Ar-

Shh...
I want to tell you something...

Hmm?

I thought red is my favorite color Khush... But today you in red left me with no words.

He whispered and pecked her earlobe and soon her cheeks matched her dress.

We.. We should get going..

Hmm..
He said and turned her to face him.

Thank you for the chance Khush..

Let's try to work it out this time...

We surely will.

Arnav said and kissed her forehead.
