BETAAB ISHQQ.. AN ARSHI SS..

GIVING-IN TO THE HEART

Arnav was driving very slowly and in an isolated place.

The reason-

Well, because, Arnav actually didn't had any plan of planning anything for Akash and Payal but to keep Khushi with himself alone, away from everyone and especially that NK.

But, now that he had announced  it aloud, he would really like to plan something for his brother and his wife and in this way, he would get to spend some time with Khushi and he would get time to analyse about those irritating feelings of him about Khushi.

He looked at Khushi only to find her engrossed in some deep thoughts, not speaking a word.

For Arnav, it was the weirdest and uneasy combination.

Khushi and Silence.

Neither the silence suited her nor could he survive without her chirpy blabbering.

Its enough, she stayed quite more than necessary.

And she would rather fall sick if she kept her lips zipped for this long, Arnav's mind joked making him chuckle.

That chuckle gained Khushi's attention who eyed him with suspicion.

Making a straight face, Arnav asked-

Why are you not saying anything?

Silence.

Are you hungry?

Silence.

Wont you give me any advise? He tried one more time to break her unsaid being silent fast and yes, it did worked.

No, Because my advices are taxable.
She scoffed in a foul mood while Arnav could just stare her in bewilderement.

What has gotten into her?
Dammit! How can this girl talk to me like that?

His hot-headed mind added fuel to the fire causing him to stop the car aggressively, that Khushi saved herself from banging her head even after wearing seat-belt.

Undoing the seat belt, Arnav came out banging the door loud while Khushi remained stilled at her place.

Coming to her side and opening her side of door, he waited for her to come out but Khushi showed no movement.

She was shocked.

Lately, the Laad Governor had stopped throwing her out of the car but that devil was back again.

Finding her still glued to her seat, he held her wrist, panicking her, fastening the seatbelt with his other hand, he dragged her outside.

Banging the door loudly, enough for Khushi to jerk at his place, he pushed her to the car, her back glued to the gate.

He looked grudingly at her with his red eyes which was enough for shiver to run down her spine.

She wonders what has she done to receive such cold, rude treatment and look from him. She has not done anything lately to wake-up the beast within him.

Why is it so hard for you talk with me without your sarcastic or irritating remarks?

He asked startling her. Never ever she thought this to be the reason for his unreasoned anger. They are used to talk rudely than politely with each other but why this sudden outburst from his side was something which Khushi couldn't comprehend.

She looked at him while he continued.

Is it so tough to be good towards me?

Upon getting no response he shouted making her afraid and hold onto his shirt.

Answer me, Dammit!

She met his eyes which softened surprisingly and then he slightly touched his forehead to her's creating goosebumps all over her body. But this was not the case only with her, even Arnav's body showed such signs which never ever existed for him before.

I don't like when you talk rudely to me. He complained like a kid making Khushi feel like hugging the man. His nani, maa and Di's chote.

Reason, well she would ponder on it later.

Because right now, her Laad Governor is all set for bearing a part of his  heart, his soul and she would give a damn to the whole world on its cost.

Reason, well as said, she would ponder upon it later.

I don't like when you laugh and talk with NK, I don't like when you correct his wrong Hindi, I don't like when you help with anything and I simply HATE when you serve food or tea or snacks to him.

Khushi looked at Arnav with shock and confusion. What does he mean by that?

I didn't like it when Mumma used to serve food to anyone before me. I didn't like when she used to feed anyone except me.
I didn't like when di started sharing her share of love which was only reserved for me with others.

But, still, it was bearable. I was happy because their love was received by Akash or NK.

But, now when it concerns you, I just don't like it. I hate it. It creates an awful feeling within me. It chokes me. It suffocates me.

Clean bowled by his back to back confessions,his feelings regarding his memorable, beautiful childhood,  Khushi should do nothing instead of taking him in a warm hug. A hug he certainly needed because the moment Khushi detached her forehead from his and kept her head on his chest, he encaged her, encaged her too tight in his embrace as for never letting her go.

They stayed in that position forgetting every doubt, every query, every question.

But Khushi couldn't restrain herself when those unattended question started haunting her mind once again.

Feeling, Khushi trying to come out of the hug made Arnav conscious. He recalled what he said rather confessed to her few minutes ago.

Hell, even he didn't know till now that he feels something like this for her.

Those words were difficult. Those feelings were difficult. Bht be was easy. He was comfortable.

Unknowingly, Khushi had managed to peek into his soul and he didn't feel like shoving it off.

Rather, he had different concern. Concern regarding his feelings, concern regarding the doubts now Khushi will have, concern regarding him being answerable to her.

Auckwardly coming out of the hug, they spend some moments looking here, there and nothing in particular.

When Khushi had had enough of  it, she asked meekly-

Why?

This was the moment Arnav was dreading off.

Now, what would he answer.

Dammit! What will he answer when he himself don't know the reason?

But, then he isn't from those who back-off from critical and tough situation.

He had always learnt to face it and win it and this is what he is going to do now as well.

He would give in. Give into his heart. His mouth will speak only and only what his heart wants to say lije earlier.

For twice, this evening and for the first time in his entire life.
