Chapter 22

As dawn approached Arnav was up and ready. The man felt fresh alive and excitement running through his vanes. As he made his way to the bathroom to brush his 5 year old niece woke up and rubbed her eyes. Sitting on the bed she looked around for him. The bathroom door clicked open and he came out
Aarti: mamma what are we going to do
Arnav: (came by the bed and sat next to her caressing her face he said) Don't worry i am figuring it out
Aarti: but we better do it fast otherwise it will be too late
Arnav nodded and Aarti went down he to came along with her to the breakfast table
Khushi was trying to control her self she was nervous to face Arnav after this whole incident. What would she tell him how would she react and most importantly she had to make sure she did not land up crying in front of him. Taking a deep breath she said
Khushi: (to herself) Hey Devi maya save me from this lead governor please
Saying this she went out of the kitchen with a jug of juice in her hand. Arnav was at the table as soon as she came out his eyes were on his princess. She beautiful her hair flying in the wind. She was wearing a blue anarkali. But wait what was that there was worry on her face. He scrunched his eye brows up wondering why she was worried and then it struck him, she was so jealous. She looked rather cute. Arnav decided to stir up some fun and so he said
Arnav: so ma did la call you up to discuss the arrangement of the engagement
Khushi lifted her face to Arnav and looked at him with the most cutest expressions of sadness. she took a deep breath and he noticed a smirk on his face.
Ratna: no she hasn't called but i think she will
Arnav: ok
Ratna: Khushi betiya will you help in the engagement preparations
Khushi: (looked baffled and then said) yeah... uh sure (she nodded with more sadness, while Arnav smirked)
Breakfast finished and every one went to do their daily work, Arnav was at home today. Aarti was in his room lying on the bed in thinking position of how to get Khushi back, while Arnav walked up and down. Annika and Anuj entered
Annika: mamma
Arnav looked towards the door and Annika and Anuj came in
Annika: what are join got do, did u not see Khushi didi
Arnav: What The
Anuj: don't what the us,we are worried too
Arnav: don't tell me you two are also involved (he looked at Aarti confused)
Aarti: what i needed help, i am only 5 years old mamma i couldn't do it myself
Arnav rolled his eyes and then Annika said
Annika: poor didi she is so sad, she was so upset when she heard the engagement news oh mamma we have to do something
Arnav: yeah i know she looked sad and honestly i can't seem to see that (he said a bit upset)
Khushi was looking all over the house for the kids hoping she would get her mind off things when she came to Arnav's room she found them all there. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door
They all looked towards the door, Arnav took a closer look at her and then Aarti said
Aarti: didi how come your are here
Khushi: (trying to control her sadness she said) uh i came looking for you all
Annika hinted to the other two kids that they should leave and then Annika said
Annika: Didi we are coming i have to do my home work
Khushi nodded and then the kids were leaving she was going to do behind them when Arnav said
Arnav: Khushi
She looked behind he gave a cute look the kids left quickly and then Arnav said
Arnav: wait
Khushi: what happened (she asked looking down)
Arnav: (was in a trance but he asked) Are you ok
Khushi: (pretended) YEah i am why are you asking
He nodded knowing she was lying and then She said
Arnav: Khushi
Khushi: hmm
Arnav went towards her and then in a swift second he pulled her towards him she came on his chest and started to breath faster he said in a husky voice
Arnav: why do u look sad
KHushi: (tried to control the havoc that his breath was creating on her)  I am fine Arnavji, in fact i am happy your getting engaged (she pretend to shield her emotions)
Arnav: (raised his eye brows on her attempt) really then why is there sadness on your face
Khushi: (she took a deep breath and then said) no no there is no sadness why would i be sad i am happy, the children are happy that your getting engaged to La
Arnav: thats not true
he pulled her closer to him and she was at a stage where she could feel his heart beat and his breath over her, Khushi was startled what was he trying to say, does he know what she feels she sucked her breath in fear
Khushi: (she asked softly) what do you mean
Arnav: the kids aren't happy
Khushi: (let out a sigh of relief) oh
there was a small pause between them and then Khushi said
Khsuhi: (trying to let go she said) Arnavji leave me, you should not be holding like this
Arnav: (smirked at her and then asked) why
Khushi: because your engaged thats why what will every one think, please leave me
Arnav: I don't care what every one thinks, what do you think (he asked her trying to control his desire)
Khushi: (heart was beating heavily she had a lump in her throat, all she managed to say was ) hmm (in a scared voice)
Arnav: Tell me Khushi what are you thinking
KHushi: (still lost she didn't know what to answer) please leave me
Arnav: tell me what you think
KHushi: Arnavji please what difference does it make what i think (she pleaded)
Arnav: it does make a difference now tell me what you think
Khsuhi: (trying to free herself) LEave me please just leave me
Arnav: not until u answer me (he said in crude tone)
Khushi: (struggling to free herself) Arnavji
Arnav: (puling her closer) Khushi
Khushi: (couldn't take it any more she screamed) leave me thats what i think ok (she yelled at him)
Arnav was in shock he slowly let go off her she moved away and tears dropped from her eyes as she looked at him with all anger and sadness.
Arnav: (softened up and said in a soft voice) Khushi (he tried to come close)
But she ran. She ran out of the room crying away leaving Arnav in total shock.
