Khushi wakes up and looks at the clock. It is almost 9:30 am. She gasps, looking at the clock, looks to the side, and finds Arnav sleeping, selling horses. She frowns, looking at him.

Khushi - What happened to him? He usually wakes up by 6'o clock. Doesn't he have to go to the office today?

She thinks and slowly pats him.

Khushi - Arnav, it's quarter to 10. Wake up.

Arnav frowns and in a sleepy voice - What?

Khushi - It's late. Don't you have office today?

He holds Khushi's wrist and pulls her to him. She lands on him, widening her eyes, her hands on his shoulder, and his arms circled around her waist. He rolls them over, and now she is under him and him on top of her.

Khushi - W..wh..what????

Arnav - W...whh...why?

Khushi - Whh..what.. why??

Arnav - W...wh...what?

Khushi - Why.. are .. you.. stammering ?

Arnav - Why are you stammering?

Khushi - Because... you are..

Arnav - Because.. I am

Khushi - You..

Khushi takes deep breaths, Arnav bends closer to her lips, Khushi closes her eyes, and his stubble tickles her cheeks. He leaves a kiss on her cheek. She opens her eyes and looks at him. He is already looking into hers.

Arnav - Take rest Khushi. We aren't going to the office today.

Khushi scrunches her eyebrows - Why?

Arnav - Did you forget what's today?

Khushi - What?

Arnav cups her cheek - Are you okay?

Khushi - Ha, I'm fine. But what is today?

Arnav - Baby, today is Diwali.

Khushi raises her eyebrows, thinking how she forgot this.

Arnav - Khushi, what happened?

Khushi looks at him - N..nothing.

Arnav - I'm observing you from 2 days. You are worried about something. You are always indulged in thoughts. You aren't eating well. What's the matter?

Khushi looks at him, with worry in her eyes.

Arnav - You know you can tell me.

Khushi - Nothing, it's just. I'm not feeling well.

Arnav gets panicked, she gets up and he gets up along with her. He hugs her tight.

Arnav - What? Why didn't you tell me?

He breaks the hug and cups her cheeks.
She keeps looking at him, with layer of  tears in her eyes.

Arnav - Come, let's go to hospital.

He catches her wrist and tells her to get ready.

Khushi holding his hand - Arnav, I'm fine, it's just that I'm having little headache.

Arnav - Okay, take rest. And don't get down from the bed, okay?

Khushi - But Arnav.. it's Diwali today. How can I stay in bed?

He makes her lay on the bed and covers her with a blanket - like this.

Khushi - But??

Arnav - No more discussion.
