OCEAN OF HAPPINESS- (IPKKND Continues...)

Festival Of Lights (Arnav's POV)

Who would ever think that Arnav Singh Raizada could ever enjoy Diwali? Could ever love a girl and never stop thinking about her? Could ever feel his heart speed up and jump to his throat when she walks by?

Nobody. Because Arnav Singh Raizada is just a cold, sheer businessman. Well, at least used to be. His career and job meant the whole world to him, after his family, duh. Now he believed in things he never believed, saw things from a whole new perspective, and felt things which would've never been considered a possible part of Arnav Singh Raizada's life.

He stared at the beautiful brunette who was his whole world now as she passed by, causing his attention to divert from the garland that he was putting up. "Chote, please, pay attention to what you are doing. You might fall. And you have no idea how much time I spent making those garlands, don't ruin them!" Naani's nagging pulled Arnav out of his train of thought. He nodded and then went back to work.

Meeting Khushi was the best thing that ever happened to him. At first, she was nothing no more than an annoying girl, because of whom he had a loss of crores, then, a girl whom he found impossible to get rid of, then to forget, and now....now, she was his whole world, the whole reason of living and every time they caught eyes, he could feel a strange feeling down his spine, something that left him elated.

He remembered how it was two years ago, on the very same day. Diwali.The same festivity filled the air, the same excitement everywhere, the same people around him, only the emptiness and hollow feeling was in him. They had almost kissed, and he had felt so weak. Unfortunately, Khushi had been the victim of his anger. He had said some pretty hurtful things, and only out of competitiveness, had proposed to Lavanya. He had even said that she didn't mean anything to him, and even then, even he knew it was a lie.

Every time he saw a single tear fall from her face, he had felt his whole world crash, his heart fail, and all he wanted to do was to pull her close and apologize and tell her everything was going to be fine. Everything is going to be fine. "What are you staring at? Arnav Ji, please concentrate," Khushi's beautiful voice rang through the air.

"Laad Governor," she muttered.

"What did you say?" he asked sternly, mocking her.

"N...Nn...nothing," she said quickly, clearly not expecting him to have heard that. Anjali and Naani chuckled.

Yes, life is beautiful....
