"There's nothing here," she said aloud to herself.
Suddenly, she was pulled around and she went crashing into someone's hard chest. When she looked up, she saw that it was Arnav.
"Maybe not something, but someone," Arnav smirked.
Khushi frowned and pushed away from him. She crossed her arms and turned the other way.
Arnav scrunched his eyebrows. "What the? Khushi-"
"Did you buy me the bangles or not," Khushi asked.
"Yeah, so-"
Khushi turned around and gaped at him. "Haaw! You say it that easily in front of me but you wouldn't admit it in front of everyone else?! Hmph," and she looked away.
"What does it matter-"
"Of course it matters Arnavji! Why can't you openly admit it? Are you embarrassed-"
Arnav went over to Khushi and wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her close to him. "Don't ever say that Khushi."
Khushi looked at him wide eyed.
"I would never be embarrassed by you. In fact, I'd show you off to everyone. I would show everyone that you're mine, and only mine," he stressed.
Khushi blinked. Was she really hearing this? Was this real, and not a dream?
"Why," Khushi simply asked.
Arnav scrunched his eyebrows. "What?"
"Why?"
"Does it matter-"
"Why Arnavji? Why do you want to show me off? Why do you even care? Why did you kiss me? Why do you even want to marry me-"
"Because I love you, dammit!"
Khushi gaped at Arnav. Did he just... did he really just say that, Khushi wondered.
And then out of nowhere, Arnav cupped her face and kissed her. Khushi was in shock, but she melted into the kiss. Her hands moved up on their own and she clutched onto Arnav's waistcoat. The two were surrounded in bliss, both of their heartbeats going wild as they became one beat.
Khushi broke away first to catch her breath and looked at Arnav. Arnav was looking right back at her, waiting for her to say something. Instead, Khushi blushed and hugged Arnav.
"Hum bhi I love you dammit," she blushed.
Arnav felt peace from her words and tightened his grip around her waist and hugged her tightly, kissing her again.
Out of nowhere, they heard clapping. The two split and were shocked to see Nani and Anjali. The two walked towards them as they clapped with smiles on their faces.
Anjali beamed at Arnav. "This means she'll be my bhabi right," she teased.
Khushi blushed hard and hid behind Arnav. Arnav himself was also slightly red - he didn't care that his sister had seen him kiss Khushi, but he wasn't exactly comfy with the fact that his Nani saw. As for Nani, well, she just didn't care and was happy!
"Aww, there's no need to hide Khushiji," Anjali beamed.
Khushi blushed even harder and glanced up at Arnav, who was looking at her.
"Haan Khushi betiyan, come out," Nani said. "There's no need for my future granddaughter in-law to hide," she beamed. "I can't wait for your wedding now! It needs to happen now!"
Both Arnav and Khushi looked at Nani with their eyebrows scrunched, their faces filled with shock.
"Don't look so confused," Anjali teased. "Your wedding is all set to take place."
"What," Arnav questioned.
Anjali giggled. "We knew you both had something going on Chote. We just decided to tease you with the whole Khushiji marrying NK bhai thing," she winked.
Arnav scowled as the two Raizada women laughed.
"I'm just so happy," Anjali squealed. "My Chote's in love!"
Arnav rolled his eyes and looked away. Can she not.
"So am I," Nani squealed, and she went towards Khushi. "Come here betiyan."
Khushi looked at Arnav and then timidly stepped forward to Nani. She stood before her and Nani caressed her cheek.
"Bless you child, I couldn't have chosen anyone better for my Chote," she smiled sweetly.
Khushi blushed and lightly smiled, and Anjali beamed as she came over and placed an arm around Khushi.
"Same here Nani. Khushiji is a wonderful person and I'm so proud of my Chote for falling in love with such an amazing woman," Anjali said. She looked at Arnav. "Come here Chote."
Arnav nodded and went to his sister.
Anjali took his hand and Khushi's hand and placed them together. "I can't wait for your wedding. I'm just too happy and bless the both of you," she smiled.
Nani smiled. "Since I am impatient and want Khushi betiyan to be my granddaughter in-law fast, I'm calling your parents right now and making the wedding soon," she beamed.
Khushi blushed.
"Nani, I think you should wait a bit," Anjali teased. "No need to rush-"
"Why not," Arnav asked. "There's nothing wrong in asking now."
"Oh? Is someone being impatient," Anjali teased.
"Di-"
"Don't even Chote, it's visible all over your face," she laughed.
Arnav rolled his eyes and looked away, Khushi blushing slightly.
"Chote," Nani began, "it's getting late, so take Khushi betiyan home. We don't want her family to worry or anything."
Before Arnav could reply, Anjali chimed in.
"Don't worry Chote, you'll see her tomorrow, so no need to get upset. Also, once you two are married, both of you will end your days together," she winked.
Arnav scowled as Khushi crimsoned. Nani looked away and stopped herself from cracking up. Arnav ignored the two women and took Khushi's hand and led her out, Khushi barely able to bid her farewell.
As Arnav led her out, Khushi freed herself.
"Arnavji, don't be rude," Khushi said, holding her wrist.
"And let my sister continue to talk about our future sex life? As if," Arnav said, rolling his eyes.
Khushi paused and blushed really hard to Arnav's words. She couldn't believe he had actually said that. They had already made it past the main doors and Arnav realized that Khushi wasn't beside him. He looked back and saw her rooted in place. He smirked, seeing her blushing, and went back to her.
Arnav placed his right hand up on the wall, beside her head. "Are you blushing Khushi," he teased.
Khushi said nothing but blushed.
Arnav placed his other hand up on the wall beside her head, trapping her in between. He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "there's nothing to be shy about Khushi."
Khushi clutched onto her dupatta and shut her eyes. Arnav glanced at her and was mesmerized. He loved how he affected her, so he decided to tease her more. He began to nip at her ear, placing soft butterfly kisses on there, as well as her neck. Khushi could only stand still, enjoying the pleasure he gave her.
As much as Arnav wanted to continue, he knew he had to stop. If they continued anymore, then there would be a problem, and the way to solve that problem would not be possible because he knew Khushi would never agree, at least, not until their marriage.
Softly pecking her cheek, Arnav took her hand in his and led her out. Khushi followed, beaming on the inside, as he led her to his car. Arnav drove her home and not much long later, they arrived to the Gupta's home. Arnav walked Khushi to the door and just as Khushi was about to ring the bell, the door flew open, revealing a very angry Buaji.
"Buaji-"
"You two, sit down inside - NOW," Buaji ordered, cutting Khushi off.
Both Arnav and Khushi looked at each other in confusion. Khushi glanced inside and saw her mother was upset and Payal looking away, looking mad.
Khushi gulped. Hai DM, she said in her head. What now?
