CHAPTER 1

"I love you, Arnav" She said timidly in his ears and a smile played upon his lips.

"I know" he said huskily and pulled her close to his heart. She was staring in his chocolaty brown eyes and he leaned down to peck her lips.

A tinge of redness spread of her cheeks and she lowered her gaze towards his broad muscular chest.

"Khushi, you look more beautiful with this shyness clouded on your face." He said in the same husky voice and wrapped his hands around her waist.

She felt a tickling sensation in the pit of her stomach. The same sensation which always built up when he touched her.

Her heart beats were racing now.

"Seems like I affect you badly" He mouthed the words in her ear and trailed a soft kiss on her neckline causing goose bumps on her skin.

He pulled her more into himself and tried to reclaim her lips for a longer, deeper kiss.

"Arnav, I think I ought to leave now. It's getting late and Buaji must be waiting for me" She tried to get up making a lame excuse.

But he wasn't giving ears to her words. He knew no matter how much she may resist, she too wanted the same. He captured her lips and began his demanding kiss. It made her inhibitions burn to ashes.

His lips against hers. The feeling was beyond explanation.

"Am I not the luckiest girl in this world? Indeed I am. Because I have the love of Arnav. He belongs to me and I belong to him. Thank you, Devi Maiya" her heart prayed silently as she kissed him back.

His lips were now grazing her neck and shoulder blade. She arched her back in pleasure and clutched his shoulders roughly to not lose her balance.

In no time, they were on the bed. His fingers desperately searched for the hem of her shirt before finally finding it. He helped him to get rid of her shirt and both slipped inside the sheets.

Arnav extended his hand and switched off the table lamp, letting darkness devour the room. And then began a passionate night of love making between the two lovers.

FLASHBACK OVER

Tears rolled down her cheeks and settled there. One after another but she didn't bother to wipe them away.

Her fingers had the bed sheet clutched tightly and she was inhaling sharply.

"Are you okay, Khushi?" A male voice hit her ears and she broke out of her reverie.

"No. I am not fine, Abhay" She said and burst into tears.

He quickly came beside her and hugged her shivering frame.

"Shh.. Be calm. I am right here, Khushi. Next to you. No weeping and crying before me" He hugged her close and she automatically hid her face in his chest.

"I again dreamt of that night"

"I guessed as much"

"I am sorry"

"You don't need to be"

"I should be. I had promised you that I won't think any more about that. But I did. I dreamt of him" She sounded guilty.

"Dreams aren't under our control, Khushi. So stop being silly!"

"Yeah right. Wait... You called me silly? Abhay!" She was suddenly back to herself. The bubbly, chirpy and careless Khushi Gupta.

"Oh sorry. I forgot, you are not silly, actually you are Khushi 'the maniac'" Abhay said with a huge grin and ran out of her room before the pillow could hit his head.

"Better luck next time, Crazy head" He said from the doorway and was gone.

She laughed loudly at her childish behaviour.

"By the way, you look like an angel while laughing" He cocked out his head from behind the door and winked and finally went.

"If I wasn't the luckiest at that time, I am the luckiest at this moment. I have a friend like Abhay. Isn't it, Devi Maiya?" She said to herself.

~~***~~

"Are you sure you don't want me to join you?"

"You are asking this for the umpteenth time! And YES, I am sure about it, Abhay. Now shall I leave? I am already late." She said with a slight irritation.

"Oh okay okay. Now don't get hyper you, oven head." Abhay replied.

She frowned.

"Oh, Sorry" He said upon seeing her face.

"Actually I liked this one." She winked and drove away.

"ha ha ha.. This girl is crazy for sure. Lucky me to have her as my friend" Abhay thought.

~~***~~

Khushi stopped the car before the "Star Outfit Zone".

She wanted to buy some new dresses for herself and a few things for Abhay. And this place was the best.

She parked the car and got into the showroom.

"Seems like the place has been renovated. Can be. After all I am visiting this place after two years" She mumbled.

"How can I help you, ma'am?" asked the attendant.

"Where can I get the latest collection of shirts?" She asked with a smile.

"Go straight and take the second left turn, ma'am."

She acknowledged him and moved towards the guided direction.

But, all of a sudden, the forgotten but familiar gush of wind hit her.

"Is he...can he be here?" her throat dried with agony and pain.

"No..It can't be him. He isn't in India. He had left. It's just my over thinking." She comforted herself.

Ignoring her instincts, she continued her shopping.

After a few minutes of looking, she selected a royal blue cotton shirt.

"This shirt will perfectly suit Abhay. Moreover, it will go well under his coat." She mused to herself and decided to buy it.

"Nice choice." The words stabbed her like a knife in the gut.

She knew the owner of that husky voice, but wasn't willing to believe it.

She turned back to face the source from where the voice had come.

And there he stood.

Arnav Singh Raizada, his hands crossed against his broad chest, body leaning casually against one of the racks; the infamous smirk plastered on his perfect face.

The look any girl can fall for. But surely not Khushi. Not this time.
