BETAAB ISHQQ.. AN ARSHI SS..

ITS NOT EASY TO CONFESS

She kept staring at his too complex to read face seeking the answers her heart desperately wants to know.

But all she received was silence. A drop dead silence.

Lowering her now moist eye lashes she turned to sit back when she heard him saying-

Because I feel like I own you.

Her steps halted. For sure, she knew what deep down his words mean but then it is not any way to express one's feelings.

It seemed more like ordering, showing rights then showing what she feels is now more than attraction and something akin to her dhak dhak and acidity.

She turned to see him breathing heavily.

Whaaaaaaaaat?

Rakshas(devil)  is nervous.

No in hell way. Sankadevi must be dreaming.

He opened his eyes which showed raw dominance to her. This fueled Khushi Kumari Gupta's values and she said yet in a calmer tone-

I am not a possession to be owned Arnavji.

This statement of hers made his head shot up and yes, he did realise which kind of emotions, the words of the owner of limited stock of words, must have represented.

But ASR is bound to be rude and arrogant. He don't regret for his words or deeds nor does he feels the need to alter it.

But, Arnav do want it. He do want to alter and then put forward his feelings in a decent way.

He wants her to know that she had knocked out his ruthlessness and is forcing him to be soft, to be tender to be caring.

Scratching the end of his nape, he looked here and there and even the street dogs making Khushi roll her eyes for the very first time.

He finally, finally looked at her after his inner fight and said with a genuine smile-

You are someone to cherish. For me, Khushi.

With wide eyes and quick gulping she kept her left palm on the left side of her chest.

Ohh God!
Her dhak dhak and acidity is back.

She felt a pain at her lips and that's when she realised that her lips are stretched ten times more than the usual.

She looked at Arnav and was shocked to see a particular colour running from his neck and making its way to his cheeks.

Is he feeling shy or by any chance Is-Is the Rakshas blushing?
Her mind asked and she opened and closed her mouth like a fish.

She looked at Arnav, he was actually too shy to meet her eyes after what he confessed.

Never ever she had seen or had imagined in her wildest dream to see this side of him, her Arnav ji and now that he had shown it, she feels like showering him with every notch of her tenderness.

She do realise what hidden meaning his words or his ohh-so-lovely gesture of nowadays means.

Her Laad Governor has devoloped a soft feeling for her. He has started admiring her. He has started treating and feeling her as special.

Now, with this, she felt her cheeks going warm and certainly the pink hues were taking theur position on her cheeks.

Silence prevailed as no one of them dared to speak another word.

Arnav knew Khushi has known him to that level to understand the feeling leashed under his silence and his restricted words.

His heart was thudding and he never knew he could actually be nervous and shy.

But Khushi Kumari Gupta knows to do wonders and once again she did it. This time on her Laad Governor. He thought and his lips began curling up to a smirk which he constricted by thinning and then wetting his lips.

Khushi jerked at her place hearing the loud ringtone of her CHALO MAIYA K BHAWAN BHAWAN BHAWAN. Hurriedly, she looked at who the caller is and then gulped upon finding it.

Nanheji calling it showed and with that her nervousness for Arnavji's reaction of annoyance and then wrath grew.

She looked at him who was busy counting how many gotas and pompoms, she has on her suit.

Twitching her lips and flaring her nose at the particular too-shy -to-look-into-her-eyes Rakshas, she with a smile received the call.

The moment she said a Han(Yes)  Nanhe ji, She saw the green monster ASR surfacing his face.

And then, he smiled when he heard-

Nanheji, I won't be back soon. I am in between something important.

And with that she disconnected the call and looked at her Laad Governor with a smile who for the first time returned the same to her, that too, that smile of his, which increased the rate of her dhak dhak.

Shall we?
She asked indicating towards the car while tugging her hair strand behind her ears.

Nodding his head, he came and like a gentleman opened the car door for her.

Feeling elated, she took her seat in the car and was soon joined by him.

He accelerated the car towards the home and the smile wasn't leaving their lips.

They had not confessed their feelings. They have not even given a solid porrof of their feelings to each other.

But both knew, they don't need it. Their 'THE THAT FEELING' which they have for each other in their heart is not conveyed but somewhere understood by both of them, though not accepted.

The soft caress of his hand above hers for the very first time jerked her up from her thoughts and then her cheeks heated up again feeling that hold now to be constant and then his hand along with her shifting and then resting on the gear.

Arnav kept driving with his one hand while the other one kept resting upon Khushi's on the gear.

Khushi kept staring at her very adorable and admirable Laad Governor and then with a sad pout murmered-

Laad Governor, kuch bhi karene per dil ki baat nhi kahengey per hum bhi dekhte h kab tk. (Laad Governor!  He would do anything except confessing but I will also see till when.

I won't too give in until and unless I hear those magical words and confession from him.

Though her Laad Governor had heard each and every word of her complain, he chose to be ignorant. A part of him kept making him feel guilty. He, then, decided, tonight, his time would be devoted to decipher and evaluate his feelings and then he would compensate gladly for all his mistakes to her and give her the well-deserved confession in the best way possible.
