One mistake, one moment of weakness, and Arnav and Khushi's lives are changed forever. Their marriage is a sham, a six month contract they entered into to save both their sisters, but the love between them still shines strong. But now, after weeks of hurt and anger, Khushi wants something Arnav cannot give. One night can change everything. TOUCH is an exercise in what-if. It makes no attempt to stick to canon, but does endeavour to keep the characters as true to the serial as possible. The story makes use of adult themes. It features some coarse language and deals with sexual situations but is not explicit. I've decided to label it Mature.

A re-imagining of New Year's Eve where Khushi and Arnav are in a secret relationship. This is the first in a four-part series set in an AU where Arnav and Khushi are in a relationship that they're hiding from everyone. --------- Hi! This story was previously plagiarized and uploaded by another user under the name OUR SECRET. This story, and its sequels, belong to me. I'm uploading the entire Secret Romance series here so people can still read it. Happy New Year was first shared on fanfiction.net

I plan my stories down to each chapter. I know what I want before I begin writing anything. But sometimes, the characters don't know, or care, that I have plans for them. Sometimes, they do whatever they want, and my insistence on keeping them in-canon means that I just have to go with it.

**ON HIATUS** (IPKKND AU) This is no longer the story of a girl who crashed a fashion show and a man who thought she was a corporate spy. It's her last year of college, and Khushi's family are looking for a husband for their youngest daughter. She dreams of a prince who will laugh and smile and dance with her, someone who will take her to watch Salman-ji films and buy her jalebis. But Devi Maiyya has other ideas, and they all take the form of a textile tycoon with a penchant for black. Arnav, a diabetic who doesn't believe in marriage, is the latest in a line of suitors at Khushi's door. But he's the first with no intention of saying yes. Marriage is a journey of two people, and of two families, and this rishtaa will change everything.

The story picks up from the terrace scene because what happened next breaks my heart every time.

Arnav distrusts Khushi and hurls unimaginable insults at her. He decides to give a chance to her not realising that he has completely shattered her spirit. Will it be too late? The story picks up from the airport scene.

Almost 4 years of marriage! Out of nowhere Khushi decided to go far away from Arnav and their family. Why?

How Khushi woos back Arnav after very successfully ruining his movie outing plan!!

The whole day Arnav made sure that already-frightened Khushi was well reminded of their impending Suhaag Raat. Well, what happened next? My take on Episode-318
