Happy Khushi

Chapter 6

Arnav smiled as his sister came running to him, running while her natural limp seemed to be overshadowed by her smile and happiness. She smiled as she showed him the pictures she drew. The dresses she thought of while learning from her brother.

Yes, she just started learning about her brother's work and even took interest in it while he too, so sweetly taught her, patiently explained her. He smiled when she made a face, he shouted when she took a step back. They fought when she had enough and she apologized when she knew she was wrong.

"I think this one can still use some changes..." Arnav Singh Raizada, a man that scares the hell out of people was sitting and looking at designs sincerely without shouting or calling them useless, he was just grading them and thinking if they can use some changes. It was all so new to Anjali and Arnav that they both felt as if they can breathe in fresh air all the time, there's no burden of time and there's no restlessness.

Arnav looked at his smiling and jumping with ideas sister and wondered if he should hold this kind of life closely and the person who brought it even more..?

He wasn't sure if the things that he wondered were just some questions or has he already decided to keep the person closer.

He wants to hold her dearly, tell her that he has never been so happy, that he feels like she is his salvation, that she is his eyes to see the world, that she is his... and just his.

Arnav and Anjali both moved out of the room to have dinner while talking about the designs. Devyani Singh Raizada looked at them coming and sitting on the table noticed their faces and sighed in relief. They were happy and their smiles that she always waited for has finally made appearances. She can finally rest in peace after they both give her good news. At least, Arnav has already selected the person he wants to be with but Anjali...

It will take some time.

Khushi as usual stood beside the table making sure if nobody needs anything more or if something is not upto par.

Devyani again today told her to come and sit with them and she again denied as she is just a cook and should stay as that only. Even though it might hurt the lady who so kindly invited her to sit with them, one should always remember where they belong and what they want to reach otherwise, they will never receive any kindness from anyone whatsoever.

Arnav stood up from his seat and walked towards khushi who was still standing quietly and brought her to sit on the chair beside him and served her making sure to touch her hands and move his chair closer and intimately work on wooing her though the effect of this wooing didn't looked like something which khushi would accept.

Arnav looked at khushi as she swallowed and gulped her tension and wondered if someone could be so beautiful while just sitting and eating like any other person but then she isn't just any person, she is a person he, Arnav Singh Raizada has laid his eyes on, a wandering beast that has seen so much more than the little chit of a girl ever could.

His demons looked at her and whispered to never let go while he too listened to them as they whispered the beautiful but ruthless melodies of love in his ears as he would move closer to her, as he would held her dear.

He demons wanted her while his angels that died a long ago revived just to held on for her.

He always wondered if he can hold onto himself when his demons would finally throw all inhibitions and curse everything around him. He has let them lose to see what more can he lose but his sight has strayed, he didn't want a world anymore, all he wants is her by his side as she smiled and laughed with him in every problem of his.

He noticed how she wouldn't raise her head to look at him and his demons inside whispered look up even he himself looked surprised at how she raised her head to look at him and stared at him while he smiled at her showing his cute smile that would turn her knees unable to hold her and thankfully she was sitting on a chair. He knows all her reactions and understands all her reasonings.

He looks at her and her breathing starts running on a race of how fast can she breathe, he smiles at her and her heart realised it should race too, he holds her hand and everything in the world stops for them as he stares in her eyes while she stares at his.

She is the hope that fluttered at night just to lull him to sleep, she is the dream that fluttered under his sleepy dreams and she is the only one who can lit up everything within him when she smiled at him.

He was accustomed to seeing her but he still wonders what would happen to his sister as she has started choosing and letting the nature of course choose her too. She is letting herself fly but her wings are free here in this nest but what would happen when she will fly outside with love and feelings that flutters around her. Will she be able to hold onto the air that resides for her to fly? Will she be able to flutter and fly all that high that he does? Or will her wings will be crippled too, the way his was?

He flew higher all because he could handle the storms but is she capable of handling the storms?

He was lost in his thought when khushi who finished her food looked at him and shook him to say "Even if a birds' wings get crippled, it doesn't forget how to fly."
