TILL I MET YOU

chapter 53

Its been a whole week since they have heard anything from sham...and that gives khushi some hope that just maybe he is out of their lives for good...and he won't crawl out the rock he is hiding under...but that's not the issue right now the issue is a certain waitress who came to give her and arnav the menu...and she just couldn't stop staring at him...

KHUSHI; did you see that?

ARNAV; see what??

KHUSHI: that woman who looks like she is just been hit by a makeup train

ARNAV: what the!!

KHUSHI; is that all you have to say...I just told you she was practically gawking at you

ARNAV; that's not true

KHUSHI; you just weren't paying attention. I saw how she was looking at you..(she says as she crosses her arms against her chest)

ARNAV: it doesn't matter how she was looking at me. what matters is how I look at you and I look at you with so much love and you know it

he says as they both wait for their orders...eventually the same waitress comes walking towards them making khushi feel uneasy...she stands in front of them and as expected she doesn't once glance at khushi but stares right at arnav like she could see right into his soul..

"is your order ready?" she questions

"I would like no.2 that's on the menu," he says glancing at khushi with a smile...

"what about you honey?"...he says holding her hand making the waitress look at her with a frown...and khushi mentally pats herself...as she smiles...

"I will have the same... she says giving her. her innocent smile...the waitress nods her head writing down the orders down before looking at arnav again...

"your food will be here shortly" she speaks winking at him before walking away...khushi's mouth hangs open at what she just did..she holds herself back from jumping onto her and tearing her into shreds

KHUSHI: tell me you noticed that

ARNAV; I did but just ignore it

KHUSHI: ignore it..how can I just ignore it..she doesn't even care that am here...

ARNAV: khushi don't start

KHUSHI; am not doing anything... or perhaps maybe you too were enjoying her attention right

ARNAV: I never said that

KHUSHI;you don't need to...its pretty obvious

ARNAV; how is it my fault she is looking at me...

KHUSHI: oh so am at fault

ARNAV; khushi I was clearly making it obvious that your my wife

KHUSHI; obviously, you weren't doing a good job at it...she didn't even acknowledge my presence and stared at you like I was invisible

Arnav stays silent for a while but gets up from his seat making khushi look at him with a questionable look...

KHUSHI; what are you doing?

ARNAV; making your presence known....he answers looking around before shouting...

"EVERYONE" he yells making khushi look at him with curious glances..she grabs his hands as her eyes widen in shock...

"ARNAV" she hisses "what are you doing? sit down"

her ignores her and turns his attention to the many people staring at them now...

"this here is my wife" he yells pointing at her. " and I happen to love her very very much"...khushi feels her cheeks heat up as everyone looks her way...she tugs his hand even harder this time...

"arnav that's enough sit down...which he eventually does

KHUSHI; your crazy

ARNAV; iam but you still love me

a while later khushi is standing aside the restaurant waiting for arnav to pull his car out of the parking lot...when a young kid approaches her...she doesn't say anything but hands over a note to her and runs away as soon as she does...

KHUSHI; hey wait...(she calls out for her but the kid has already run away)
Khushi is puzzled but decides to unfold the piece of paper given to her...

"IF I HAVENT KILLED YOU, ITS NOT BECAUSE I CAN'T... I JUST DONT WANT TO YET",.....she instantly becomes scared and looks around only one person can do this...sham..her eyes keep roaming around to see if she can catch sight of him but she fails...he must near somewhere watching them...isnt he satisfied with the fact that he almost threw her off a railing...now he is threatening them..
she is brought out her stance by arnav's honking horn..

ARNAV; I have been calling you for ages...

she doesn't answer and just crumples the piece of paper she is holding and walks towards his car...
