Aapke Pyaar Mein [IPKKND AU] - to be continued

Chapter 10

Arnav - What are you thinking about us?

He enjoyed the childish look of bafflement on her face. No doubt, he's always enjoyed such moments where she was speechless. Her reddened surface amused him.

But this wasn't enough. He allowed himself to tease her.

Arnav - Are you having those kinds of thoughts? Do you want some privacy?

Her eyes rounded at his question as she jolted out of her reticence.

Khushi - What? No! N-no...I'm not that kind of a girl.

Arnav - What kind of girl?

She received a tight slap by herself in her head for giving him the chance to act all innocent. So in a situation like this she did what came in her mind first.

Khushi - N-nothing.

Avoiding uncomfortable talk.

Khushi - I was just thinking...what is this? This meeting...and our late night phone conversation....?

Arnav - I don't get it. What do you want to ask?

She looked at him skeptical about his naivety.

But if one thing she was for real, it was innocent. As innocent as a five years old kid.

Khushi - You really don't get it?

His playful smirk betrayed him. Her pout disappeared upon realizing he was indeed playing with her.

Khushi - Arnavji, be serious!

She couldn't believe her own words. Was it Khushi Kumari Gupta asking Arnav Singh Raizada to be serious? Hard to believe.

Arnav - Okay, I'm serious now.

His eyes depicted earnestness. But now it was Khushi who failed to sustain a stern facade and broke in a series of giggles instead, much to the amusement of the person sitting opposite to her who couldn't help but just stare the girl like a lovesick puppy.

Arnav - Laughing at the fact that you needed to tell me to be serious?

Khushi - Guilty!

She struggled to breathe normally but failed miserably as Arnav just shook his head in disbelief. His hand wandered upon hers in a hold. And this time she didn't pull it away.

Anjali opened the door to receive NK with a heartwarming and welcoming smile.

NK - Di, I need your help.

Anjali - Yes sure. What is it?

She stepped aside. Getting the indication he entered the room. She waited for him to speak as she watched him rub his nape. Anjali frowned at the hesitancy.

Anjali - NK bhai, what is it?

NK - Erm' Di, I wanted to ask you something.

She raised her brows in a silent gesture for him to continue.

NK - Remember I told you there's a girl?

The contentment on her face faded away. Anjali was aware of his liking for Khushi. But she was also aware of her brother's feelings for the same girl and those aren't one sided. She was almost sure of that.

And in all this if she allowed him to continue dreaming of a future with Khushi, he'll be the only one hurt in this triangle.

NK - And I want to ask her out today. But I need your help. I want to write a romantic letter in pure Hindi.
