Part38 

Arnav's statement not fully scared Khushi but it definitely shook her a bit. She kept thinking about his MILD/WILD desire. It would not be wiser to nag him, she supposed. She was seen with BOOKS all the time whereas Arnav roamed sniggering.

Khushi was chitchatting with Ratna in the living room. After coming from college, she came down getting fresh. That was her regular routine. She spends time with Ratna every day, no matter how hectic her days were. Ratna also got used to her company. She waits for Khushi every evening with different snacks.

Khushi (munching samosa): Amma, it's really delicious, especially this mint chutney.

Ratna: What do you want me to make tomorrow?

Khushi: No Amma, didn't' I say tomorrow my friend, Anu's birthday? I will go to the party directly from the college.

Ratna: Where is the party, in Anu's house or somewhere else?

Khushi: Not at her home Amma, in the hotel Purple Orchid.

Ratna: Ohh that's great. Will you come on your own?

Khushi: No Amma. I had already informed Arnavji about it. I think he will pick me up.

Ratna: Don't forget to remind him again. So that he will make himself free.

Khushi: Ok Amma.

That's when they heard Arnav's car sound. Khushi stood jerking.

Ratna: What happened?

Khushi: Amma, I have to complete an important work.

Ratna: Ohh...

Khushi: I'm going.

She ran towards their room. Ratna flinched back. She only got her sense back when Arnav tapped her shoulder.

Arnav: Mom... what happened?

Ratna: it must be you....

Arnav: ME? What?

Ratna: What did you say that Khushi is running, seeing you?

Arnav(chuckled): Really?

Ratna: Poor girl... you should have done something.

Arnav: I haven't done anything...

Ratna: I won't trust you. She is studying a lot nowadays.

Arnav: Exams are nearing that's why.

He headed towards their room smilingly.

Ratna: Do you want samosa?

Arnav(while walking): No Mom... just coffee. Send it with Hariprakash.

Ratna: Ok.

Arnav saw Khushi studying sincerely, sitting on the recliner.

Arnav: Hi...

He sat beside her gently pushing her should by his.

Khushi: Arnavji, do you want coffee?

Arnav: Hariprakash is brining.

Khushi: Ohh...

Arnav: I'm glad to see you studying.

Khushi: Why not? After all, you love me a lot.

She said sheepishly.

Arnav (circling her shoulders): A looooot...

He kissed her hair.

Khushi: Let me study.
