Chapter 21 - Khushi enjoying college!

Khushi's college had started in full swing and life was getting busy for Khushi as well as Arnav. But they made sure to steal time together from each other's hectic schedule. If not far, Arnav made sure to take Khushi to farm house over weekends or fly for a quick trip...

Khushi has taken admission in college with her old name "Khushi Kumari Gupta" and hence very few of her friends knew she was married that too with Arnav Singh Raizada. It was not on purpose but all her documents were in her old name and it was convenient for now. Though Arnav made her passport with new name now. He was planning to surprise Khushi with a quick trip outside India as soon as she has 3 to 4 days holidays...

Khushi did not want to garner too much attention by letting world know that she is Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada due to Arnav's popularity and just wanted to focus on her education.

Even Arnav did not insist on Khushi exposing to the world being Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada. He knew it would be very hard on her to do simple things in life that she loves, once the media will be after her all the time and will be judged for her every simple actions putting too much pressure on Khushi and making her conscious all the time... And he was always worried, Khushi was too nave to handle media circus and manipulations they do...

And of course Arnav was always there if she needed any help in her studies... Can you imagine Arnav sitting late at night and making her tea when she was tired!! Yes, he was an expert in making tea now the way Khushi likes it, milk and with 2 spoons of sugar!!

Life is college was fun for Khushi at college too with her K group and with the freedom Arnav had given her.

Khushi started wearing her favorite clothes like long skirts, jeans, kurtis with leggings and she looked her age. All these days at RM, she looked and behaved way older than her age. But she was thoroughly enjoying this new phase of her life.

Needless to say, Khushi slowly started getting attention from boys in college due to her flawless beauty and nice nature. Obviously that kept possessive Arnav on his toes!!

Even now sometimes Arnav used to get worked up thinking about the attention Khushi was getting in college. Arnav was smart always to understand between the words from daily blabber from Khushi and Ks. But then Arnav knew Khushi only loves him plus she is always surrounded by her friends to handle any situation or attention... That would calm him down and he loved the way Khushi used to wait every evening to tell Arnav everything happened in the college... As promised Khushi always shared her girly gossip with Arnav.

One of the days Arnav was free from work during lunch time and decided to surprise Khushi by going to her college.

Arnav parked his car and started walking towards cafeteria. He knew Khushi usually has a small break at 11.30 am.

"What a gorgeous face!" One of the boys said looking at Khushi.

"Khushi is an exquisite beauty with grace" Other followed.

"She is so mine! I will propose her by end of this final semester, mark my words" Another arrogant guy sitting on a stylish bike declared.

"Let's bet Rakesh, she doesn't look like she will be interested. But you can give it a try" Others mocked Rakesh.

"Yes, let's bet. I will make sure Khushi is my girlfriend by end of this semester." Rakesh boasted again.

"Hey Rakesh, I heard she is very good in her studies also. Talent with beauty... She is topper in the last semester. So and ask for her notes... Easy route to talk to her buddy..." Another friend encourage Rakesh...

"But I heard she is married... Look at sindoor on her forehead... And the other day when another girl asked, Khushi really confirmed she is married... Leave her alone, she is married" Rakesh's close friend Rajiv tried to pitch in.

But Rakesh and friend continued talking about Khushi and bet was on.

By this time Arnav's anger had reached the college roof!! He clenched his fists to control the anger and started walking towards the boys. He was so ready to punch Rakesh and knock some sense in him and warn him to stay away from Khushi...

But then he suddenly came to a complete halt when he saw Khushi and her group sitting in a corner and enjoying their snacks with small chatting session.

It was amazing for him to watch Khushi laughing carelessly and enjoying her time in college without any tension and hesitation.

"Was he right in disturbing her college life by fighting in her name and creating a scene?" Arnav thought for a minute. Arnav knew Khushi will always be surrounded by her Ks and he knew how much she loves him to even look at someone else. And Khushi was bold enough not to tolerate any nonsense... May be he could talk to her Ks gang and inform them about Rakesh and have Karan keep an eye on him... It was be better instead of creating fight in her college...

Arnav was confident Khushi will talk to him if things go out of hands and he decided to back off. He was surprised and happy to realize that he had started putting Khushi first in his every thought and priorities. He was no longer taking angry and careless decisions but was putting thoughts in everything he did.. Made an effort for her!

Arnav took a U turn and went back to his car. He decided may be he will have lunch with Khushi some other day and will call her towards parking to keep things easy.

"Hey that was famous youth business icon - Arnav Singh Raizada!!" Couple of girls who saw Arnav getting in the car screamed.

"No way, what is he doing in our college? Maybe he came to see Principal..." Other girl shouted...

Khushi heard the girls scream and she was surprised Arnav could be here and if yes, why didn't he meet her or why didn't he call her.

"Oh come on Khushi, it may not be your Arnav" Kritika teased Khushi.

"Oh boy, how handsome he always looks. I have seen him once before in a fashion show for students that he had inaugurated. He looks so handsome in black suit and a red tie! Always dashing" the girls kept gossiping sitting on next table to K gang.

Khushi suddenly remembered pulling out the black suit and red tie in the morning. So did Arnav really come to her college? She was confused.

"But I heard he got married recently, so sad. I wish he was still a bachelor... Single and ready to mingle!!" sighed another girl.

Now Khushi started getting hyper.

"I don't mind married Arnav Singh Raizada also. He is so ****y and cool!!" another girl commented and it was enough for Khushi.

She just stood up and marched towards the next table but immediately stopped by Kritika and Karan.

It took Khushi some time to ignore comments on her hubby dear and calm down.

She decided to call Arnav later after her class and confirm if he had come to her college.

As usual driver Mohan had come to pick Khushi. Khushi got a chance to relax and think about the incident in college.

Who was she kidding? She knew how popular her husband was and almost all the young girls were crazy after him. She had seen all the models drooling over Arnav during her initial days at AR Designs. Arnav was immensely popular due to his good looks and achievements as young business tycoon.

Khushi also knew how much Arnav had changed and loved her! He doted on her so much. She decided to suck it in such trivial incident and would not care about the gossip around him... But maybe ask Arnav if he had come to meet Principal for some other reasons and was in super hurry.

"So Mrs. Raizada is quite popular in the college for her beauty and talent!" Arnav commented as soon as Khushi entered in their room.

Khushi was shocked to hear Arnav and to see him at home.

"Did you visit my college today?" Khushi could not help but ask.

"Yes I did come since I had no meeting during lunch time today" Arnav replied.

"Why didn't you come and meet me then?" Khushi was confused why he came all the way and went back without even talking to her.

Arnav was not sure how to explain her why he returned without meeting her. So he changed the topic by going back to original question.

"Got a call and had to rush back... Had no choice today... But could see Mrs. Raizada is very famous in college!!" he teased her.

"I heard her husband is more famous" Khushi replied with a smirk.

"I heard her husband has eyes only for her, not available any more to the world! And he is crazily, madly and deeply in love with her... His world revolves around his wife..." Arnav declared with mischief on his face. He as usual cornered her to the wall and kept staring at her lovingly...

"I have heard Mrs. Raizada is also loyal to him... It seems he is her first and last love! She is head over heels in love with him... She loves her Laad Governor too much..." Khushi replied looking into Arnav's eyes.

They both felt overwhelmed and hugged each other tight. Arnav took her for a romantic long drive with a dinner to follow...
