My Girl chap 17

 She said...

                           He said...

In the hotel room: Arshi:

-Arnav ?...you’re going to leave me?

Arnav stops for awhile to look at her…

-I just can’t stay at Lucknow!

-but…the wedding and our deal…and…

-I can’t khushi! sorry for that but I can’t stay one minute here!...they already send their man to follow me!

He said it and continues arranging his clothes in his bag…

She starts doing the same with her clothes…

He saw it:

-khushi? what are you doing?!

-I’m coming with you!

-No Khushi! you stay! I’m leaving! It’s your friend’s wedding! I spoiled already your journey!

He said that and took off his tee-shirt to change for another without even taking a look at her sad face now…

She wanted to stay with her friends but wanted him with her also…she wants that also more…

But she couldn’t say anything…

Her proud was stopping her…she won’t beg him to stay the more with her…did he even want her to be with him from the start of this journey...?????...yes...he said that...

But she’s sad… she faked a smile when he looks at her buttoning his shirt…

-I’m leaving, now!

He said taking his bag on his shoulder…

-ok!

She said…acting like nothing is happening…

Actually nothing is happening…

It’s a matter of 4 days only and she will come back to delhi too and she will see him there, so why all this sadness…

Arnav:-you want to hug me?

He said rising his eyebrow…

When she doesn’t move, he continues:

-hum…ok! you want to Just say bye to me?

It’s then when she jumped on him…making him loses his balance:

-oww…

He jerked at the surprise of her hug…and then he hugged her back with his muscled arms…almost lifting her from the floor…she felt like flying on his arms…

-stay! Stay with me please!

She said to him like a little girl…forgetting all her projects to not beg him anymore...

It felt so right…

So right to have her in his arms…

When he remembered that even his nani thought she’s his wife…he felt some ticklishness in his heart…deep inside…

he wanted her to be his wife...for real....not in dreams...not by mistake...

It felt so right…

So right to be in his arms…

She doesn’t know how she asked him to stay again…but she knows nothing matters but him…

-you want me to stay that much?

He asked…being more than sure of her answer…he can feel her more helpless than him…she wanted him to stay with her...he wants to stay for her...to be always with her...he waited for her answer....

But…

The answer was unexpected:

-I love you!

That was her answer…

It wasn’t an answer…

But a confession…her confession…she loves him…

It was like…she steal that from his heart…he wanted to said it that moment and she just said it her…before him…

He maybe hasn’t that courage to say it but she does have it!!!! all the courage...

Suddenly…getting conscious that she just whispered that to him…in his arms…she pulled back…leaving his embrace…

She’s shocked that she just said “I love you” to him that way while she decided to not be that much stuck to him and to save her proud being a girl…means she doesn't have a problem saying that first but the moment was maybe not good...and what about his feelings for her?

she is not even sure....

And being a girl too…she haven't used to say I love you without even knowing what he could think about her and also…

Yes…she never said that to anyone in that world before…and that way…

It just gets out off her mouth without thinking too much…

Just…

With all the simplicity of the world…

But now she couldn’t even face him…

She has just the power of getting away of all the room as fast as she can…

Running away…

Tears were out already but even with that she keeps running away…

She can only hear his voice calling her but she couldn’t stop…

She could bear all on that moment but facing him now…not now…God! Not now…

-Khushi! he shouted when she runs towards the stairs, down the corridor…not finding any other way than that…to escape…and hides in a corner there in another floor…when she felt his presence…only there…before her, he’s standing…

Both are out of breath…

He doesn’t want to talk actually…but thought he should…as she’s so insecure now…the fact of saying the three magical words first without being sure he shared the same feeling with her or not…

She closed her eyes…

And felt his lips on her forehead…

He kissed her forehead giving a deep kiss…

Keeping his lips on her forehead…he just holds her waist…and she finds herself again in his arms…

They still like that for a moment holding each other…

He was trying to make her understand that she shouldn’t regret saying that to him…

For that, words will not work…

Only him, being with her would work…

He caresses her soft face with his fingers tips…

He kisses all over her face…

He took her hand and puts it above his chest…on his heart…

She could feel his heart’s beats against her palm and she finally looks up at his eyes…

Where she could find only sincerity and warm…

She smiles lightly looking at how much he’s soft looking at her like that…

-you regret saying it to me?

She nodded negatively…

Not at all…of course she doesn’t regret saying I love you to him…

Because it’s the truth…her pure love to him…but she was just shocked of how she said it...from where she brings that courage to say it for him...

She loves him from the first second she saw him, that night when he saves her…

It was like her destiny making her walking to him that night and meeting him…

She hugs him again hiding her face on him…

-don’t cry! Ok?

she breaks the hug:

-now, you will go?

He nodded negatively and then…kissed her forehead again…

He thought he doesn’t deserve that much love…innocent love from her to him…

He doesn’t even know how to express that he feels the same and more for her…

He’s even unable to say “I love you too” because he doesn’t know how…how to say it the right way…and he felt the need to make her understand that instead of just saying it…he wanted her all and forever…he wanted to act...to prove it!

It’s without explanation…for him…this relation wasn’t a game anymore!

Now that he’s sure of her love for him…

Now that there is no doubt…

Love wasn’t the right word for him, actually!

Not for him!

He’s kind of guy who never expect much from life but when he has a right…then…that right should be taken fully!

He took her hands on his and just kissed them…

Kissing her hands softly and slowly…it was like he’s…loving her slowly and so softly that she felt that her whole being is shivering under his kisses…

Not only love…

She’s his girl…his woman…his…only his…

possessiveness…yes, he’s possessive when it comes to her and more…more…

he remembers that magic they felt together since the first eyes meeting…the first touch…their first kiss…

He holds her hand and together they come back their room…

When the door gets closed behind them…

Khushi was waiting what will be the next step he will take…

The next words he will say…

-marry me!

He said firmly…looking at her…so surprised and about to faint but his hands are there…

She was about to say something, he cuts her:

-not now! Don’t give me any answer now, not even tomorrow…not even after a month…take all your time to answer me because when you will say “yes”…then, you will be mine forever!

Drink effect lasts till morning?????...it was just fast and magical...

Or they don’t know what happen to that they are talking like that…

She… with her I LoVE You…

Him… with his Marry me!

That was overdose of sincerity for both…

Overdose of some unnamed feeling they have for each other now…

And they are little bit uncomfortable now…

She wanted to speak again and he stops her…

-not now! Don’t say anything!

She hugged him again…and then they heard a knock in their door and they break the hug not without taking all their time…

Marriage

Marriage

Marriage

What about tonight?

What about now?

Khushi thought….

Yes!

Let me say it to you: yes, yes, yes,yes….999990000939388237327 hundreds of YES to you…

If I will not marry you then who will I marry?

I said I love you…I was about to say marry me in the process…

Want more proof?

Yes!

Before you or I open that door…

But khushi wasn’t able to move…

Or to speak…

All mesmerized …

I find you…

Did I need more time to accept the fact that I want you for only me, Arnav…My Arnav…Jaan…mine…my man!

he walked away to open the door and Lavanya was at door… fuming…

La:-you?

Arnav greets her and just disappear from there…he was…he can’t explain his feeling…

Marrying her…wasn’t new idea….he dreamed about it…he wanted it and today when she said I love you…it comes out…she’s his…from the start…and it was like …it’s their fate…their destiny to be together…

Lavanya just walks in the room…

La:-here!

She puts on khushi’s hands a white saree…

La:-but I’m not talking with you anymore!

Khushi was just standing like that…ignoring Lavanya totally…

La:-khushi? are you happy with yourself ignoring me? What I’m to you? Yesterday I was all the night like: knock knock knock…this morning also I was all the time knocking like a fool…and calling you on your mobile for nothing…and…what are you doing inside alone with him all this time? Making babies?

Khushi was still amazed but her face was pale from what he just asked her few minutes ago… and all that day......Lavanya was fuming…

-today mehendi ceremony, you wear this saree as all the girls will be wearing sarees today and…don’t dare talk to me!...I’m so much angry, yesterday if it wasn’t NK there to talk to me, to calm me …then will make suicide or reach back to delhi!

-la! Stop it! I’m goanna...I'm...goanna to faint!

-…(Lav looks at her with an ironic gaze)

-I’m serious, hug me please! Hug me La!

Khushi just hugs Lavanya and Lavnaya just hugged her back

La:-what happened? He?…did he…he does something bad to you?

-no…

Khushi whispered…

-are you breaking up?

-no! no!

-then, speak, khushi!

-he…

-he?

-he proposed to me…he wants me to be his wife!

-what?

-he said….

Khushi breaks the hug…

-La…he said: Marry me!...
