Khushi tapped her sandals anxiously, with a mountain of worry etched on her face. “This is not fair ASR. What is the urgency to introduce me to your family? We're yet to understand each other.” She spoke desperately . Her each and every cell screamed her detest on the upcoming meet.
“It’s A.R.N.A.V.” He stressed each letter of his name giving extra pressure to it.
“That doesn’t matter now.” She almost shouted as her voice boomed across the vacant parking lot.
“It MATTERS dammit!” He bellowed in competition to her raised voice.
Khushi closed her eyes in frustration and Arnav looked at her determinedly and took a step towards her.
“Why are you closing your eyes? Look at me NOW.”
His voice reverberated causing her to jerk in place. She met his eyes ghostly, feeling scared of him all of sudden. She almost planned to back off from this relationship if he plans to control her each and every action according to his wishes. She wants a relationship where she has a say in it. If it is going to be one way like ASR expresses she better forget him or her fairy tale. But the question is that, will her boss… correction… possessive lover allow that?
As soon as he saw an uncanny expression on Khushi face, ASR got alarmed and his arrogant streak took a back seat. Arnav took birth unknown to ASR. He gently grabbed her arm and palmed her cheeks.
“Come on Khush… We aren’t teenagers to get tangled in this ugly fights. We’re matured way more than that. We are in the right phase of our life both in career-wise and in personal too.”
When he was speaking these mature words to clear her uncertainties she was pushed more into it to the contrary. Which one is true? A dominant ASR who’s also her boss or A possessive lover who’s trying his best to calm her down. But what she doesn’t know is, ASR or Arnav both want her at any cost but with certain rules and regulations.
“That’s why I need time to take things forward MATUREDLY. It’s not even five hours passed since your confession, you already want me to get introduced to your family as a BAHU today itself. Don’t you think I need time to digest this new thing? It may be easy for you to flaunt me to your family but surely it’s something new for me. I’m not prepared for this meet. Besides, I have a family Arnav. They’ll also have dreams for my future.”
Even though she has put forth her mind into words without his interruption, she has zero confidence that he’ll ever understand her emotions. His infamous arrogance and stubbornness made her think like that. Adding to that, his new possessive side is scaring her. She doesn’t think he’ll wait until they start off slowly as she wishes.
“If this is what you wish then we’ll go according to you.” He said with a smile astonishing her to the core.
“You ok with that?” She asked in disbelief taking a step towards him.
He held her palm and placed a firm kiss on her inner palm, “I’m more than sure to give you your space to think. But you be sure to answer after the end of time.”
“Really?” She asked with a grin feeling excited by his new avatar, An understanding ASR or Arnav or whatever.
Her grin transplanted to his place washing away hers, “Yes, 12 hours is enough to think in detail.”
“What the?! 12 hours?” She cried at her clever mind which for a minute thought he’s changing according to her choice.
ASR brows knitted in musing and he shook his head after a brief time, “Why is it too long? Shall I reduce it into 9 or 8… Yeah, let’s seal it in 8 hours Khush.” He declared casually throwing water on her plans.
“I shouldn’t have agreed to your proposal in the first place.” She uttered at the result of despondency.
Do anything more is needed to awake ASR?
He lunched forward grabbing her arms in his death grip. Her eyes widened in no time and his grip started to pain her.
“You’re hurting me.” Khushi whispered wiggling on his hold.
His face turned hard and he reprimanded her statement, “Aren’t you did the same?”
“What? When did I twist your iron like hand?” She asked in confusion forgetting her pain.
“Your words hurt me here.” He whispered taking her hand and placing it on his chest where his heart resides which is currently galloping.
She gulped her parched throat feeling surrounded by intense atmosphere. She’s used to seeing his determination, arrogance and anger, not his intense side which emotes well than she expected.
“ARNAV.” She mumbled feeling his emotions crept into her frame.
He expelled a heavy sigh and his face instantly adopted liveliness “Now it’s like a block of ice on summer.” He noted in his precious memory that he loves hearing his first name from her luscious lips. It’s like a music to his ears.
Do I need to mention here that Khushi face is like a cherry, so fresh, so healthy, glowing… If she raises a paragraph of questions, he shuts her with his one line answer. What can she do with him? Neither she can accept his ideas nor she can ignore him.
“Don’t you think, it’s early to get hitched? Aren’t you wishing for a courtship period?” She tried to use his tactics by pursuing him to look at the other tempting aspects in a situation.
“What’s special in courtship than having you all for myself? People should know you’re taken and you’re MINE so that none will hover over you.”
“That can be achieved without marriage itself.” She said thinking about an engagement following by courtship and marriage. But poor lady failed to understand her screwed lover only knows to turn everything in his favour.
“Yup, Thanks Khush. It’s a great idea. Let’s stay in live-in relationship until you feel comfortable to enter into the marriage.”
“FINE. I’ll come to your home. Happy NOW?” She asked in exasperation, feeling her control slipping away. She don’t know what she’s going to do with him.
“Very much.” He grinned pulling her towards him by sliding his arms on her slender waist, “Before world knows, you should sculpt in your brain that ‘You are MINE’. Mine to love, Mine to cherish, Mine to get angry, Mine to live.”
Again his choice of words got her off guard. Each time he says, she is his, she feels the tingling sensation on her heart and stomach. She realised LOVED by SOMEONE insanely is also magic which doesn’t happen to everyone. She’s glad she is loved insanely and possessively. And she wishes to dive into that category. Yes, she’s going to make him feel the same. She’s going to show how it’s being LOVED by SOMEONE insanely and possessively.
With this newly concluded decision, she garlands his neck pushing his neck downwards.
“Before world knows, you should also sculpt in your brain that ‘You are MINE’. Mine to love, Mine to cherish, Mine to get angry, Mine to live.”
With this, she locked her lips with his hard ones closing the deal promising never to let anyone in between their relationship. Their possessiveness is not going to allow that also.
