TS : Happy Birthday Love.

3.

The car journey was a silent one, a comfortable silence. Arnav stole glances in every 5 min to assure whether Khushi was comfortable or not. Khushi was just looking out of the window where the day was falling into a beautiful evening, with the sun setting and spreading all the shades of orange and red in the sky. She closed her eyes and felt the cool breeze on her face. It was so serene and silent that she dozed off.

Arnav smiled seeing her asleep. She looked like a doll with hair falling on her face and she frowning again and again, might be that they disturbed her in her dreamland.

Arnav tapped Khushi's cheeks lightly as soon as they reached the destination. She woke up with a slight jerk and comprehended her surroundings, when she felt Arnav's cold hands on her right cheek and her eyes shot up to him.

"Lets go hmm?" He said slowly.

She straightened up and fixed her saree properly before getting out. Arnav opened the door like a gentleman and stretched his hand out to the his lady. She held it and came out to see a big building which was a 7 star hotel, Hotel Oberoi.

This Laad Governor has chosen a hotel according to his likes, not even thinking that I am not at all comfortable here. I always mess up in these big places. Devi Maiya please protect me. She closed her eyes and prayed.

"Chale?" Her trance broke by his voice and she just nodded.

He smiled at the gatekeeper who opened the door for them. The manager immediately came there and shook hands with Arnav. They had a 2 min conversation, meanwhile Khushi was awestruck by the place. She hasn't seen a hotel so big and so beautifully designed. May be it wasn't a bad idea coming here.

"Khushi, lets go." He said holding her hand again.

They were in the elevator which was going up and up and so were Khushi's heartbeats. She saw the floors passing one by one and there were only rooms from the 3rd floor. So are they??? She became hell nervous and looked at Arnav nervously, taking deep breaths.

Arnav pressed her hand lightly and said "I am here, don't panic. We are going on the terrace. Its just dinner, dont use your already half brain." He smirked.

"Youuuu.. I didn't even say anything don't speak nonsense." She said in a low but angry tone.

"Ohh yeah I exactly know what you were thinking Mrs. Raizada." He again smirked.

Her heart elated when she heard Mrs. Raizada from him. That did sound nice. She then immediately composed herself so that Arnav doesn't get another chance to tease her. But who was she kidding?!

I hope I make this the best birthday of your life, Khushi. I really hope so. He looked at her and prayed to his maa silently.

The elevator bell went 'ting' and they both were out of their thoughts. Arnav once again held her hand and lead her towards the door.

He opened the door for her and gestured her to go first. As soon as she entered there was a rain of rose petals falling on her. She was so surprised and overwhelmed by that. She just stood there smiling heartily and enjoying it and Arnav staring at her, as his heart dances inside, seeing her smile.

The shower of petals stopped and then the whole terrace lit up with lights and glittery stars. Yeah as Khushi liked. The path to the dinner table was all covered with rose petals too. Khushi was sooo amazed by all that. She just kept staring at it like a kid. And Arnav fell for her innocence once again.

"Khushi.." He called

"Thank you.." she said looking in his eyes "this is really very beautiful."
