Arshi One Shots

The Night Of Confession

'Aisa kyun hota hai ki jab aap humare paas aate hain,humari dhadkane tez ho jati hai?'
(Why is it that whenever you are near me, my heartbeats go berserk?)

'Main bataata hoon aisa kyun hota hai. Jab tum mere paas hoti ho,toh tumhari dhadkano ke saath-saath, meri dhadkanein milne lagti hain. Humari dhadkanein ek ho jaate hai. Jo tum mehsus karti ho, jo main mehsus karta hoon!'
( I will tell you why does it happen so. When you come near me, then our heartbeats get mixed up. I feel the same erratic heartbeats that you feel whenever we are together)

'Humari dhadkanein...?'
(Our heartbeats...)

'Ek ho jaate hain'
(Become one).

Khushi and Arnav simultaneously rose up from their respective places with a jolt. These lines kept repeating in their heads throughout their sleep, rendering them almost sleepless.

Arnav opened his eyes trying to record his surroundings. He was on his bed on the left side, it was not morning yet. He could see the darkness still through the french doors. He glanced at his side table to see the time which displayed 2.00 am. His hand rose to his head to soothe the shooting pain. The effect of Bhaang. He guessed. But where was the person who was the reason for his drinking of Bhaang?

His eyes searched the recliner to find Khushi. If he was on bed, then Khushi must be on the recliner, right? But she was nowhere to be seen. He even searched the floor to see whether his crazy wife had rolled down and fell on floor in her sleep. Afterall she too was drunk!

But he dint notice the place next to him on his bed. The moment he turned his eyes to the right, he found her, on his bed, beside him, holding her head tight, probably the Bhaang and he dint miss to notice the tear on her cheeks. Was she crying? Is the pain that severe? Concern dripped in his insides for her.

Forgetting the pain he was having, he slowly held her hands and brought them down. He gently massaged her temples trying to soothe the pain. He found her relaxing a bit. The wrinkles cleared off. She was at ease. He knew. A small smile crept up her lips. Thats it! That was all he wanted to see! His lips automatically widened. He too was happy.

After few seconds, when she felt the pain easing, she slowly opened her eyes to look into the chocolate brown orbs that were gazing at her hazel eyes. Time stopped for them. That moment had no emotion on their faces except pure love. Khushi was the first to break the eyelock, when her pain completely flew.

Embarrassed, both Arnav and Khushi look at everything but each other. But wait! What were they doing together on bed? The incidents of previous day passed like a flash.

'Humari dhadkanein...?'

'Ek ho jaate hain'

Both their heads simultaneously turned towards the poolside chair when they had this conversation. Again their eyes met. But this time, with lots and lots of questions.
