CHAPTER 40 – AND OUR FOREVER BEGINS..!
ARNAV'S POV
We are about to finish with our crazyyyyy victory celebrations against the CHAMPIONS board and I am thrilled beyond Words.
Well the Word Just Thrilled Would be an Understatement Surely!
I think I should use the phrase – Thrilled to the edge of Planet Krypton!
Hahaha!
And oh Boy – I am also very very Happyyyy!
Happy to the Edge of Planet Krypton too!!
Or Maybe even that bit is an Understatement !
Happily Stumped to the Edge of Milkiway – Perhaps would be a better one!
Haha..thank you Sunshine!
Trust you to give me the best of phrases to borrow for my crazy inner thoughts overdrive!
Okkk so obviously it's not going to be News to any of you the reason behind all this thrill and Happiness!
I mean we won the T20WorldDammFreakingCup – the only medal I did not have in MY Kitty and then to my luckier luck I was also chosen for the Man of the Tournament award!
The minute all of this had happened, in my heart I Knew that this was Khushi's pure Love and powerful prayers for me being answered!And I was totally wanting to dedicate it to Her in front of the Whole Wide World and I am glad that I had been able too.
Thank YOU Sunshine!
MY GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT PRECIOUS AND PURE SUNSHINE!
I AM Kind off MORE THRILLED AND HAPPY To be Finally able to put that Ring on Your Finger too and that too in front of the Whole Wide World – It had been in the Works for Months with my Familys jewellers because those One carat Coffee coloured deep brown diamonds were very very difficult to source because I had told Mom that I want those Diamonds to be the exact shade of the Coffee Bean!
OK SOO GUYS – THE RING I HAD IN MIND FOR MY SUNSHINE HAD A DEEP SINGNIFICANCE IN BETWEEN OF US!
I SHALL EXPLAIN.
The GOLD coloured Ring band to start as a base because Dude – She is My Sunshine! Dont I always say – She is the Sun of MY Life! So the Gold to symbolise the warm yellow Ray's of the Sun!
Then comes that entire engraved line of Ten One Carat Coffee BEAN coloured Deep Brown Diamonds each of whose colour I cross checked my very own self to make sure they were all the same and they were engraved all over this golden band! And guys why did I choose a coffee bean coloured diamond – because it's obviously a significance of the most beautiful moment in time when Khushi proposed me with that COFFEE bean!
And then Of course for the Center Peice – I had chosen a 5 Carat Heart Shaped Rock Diamond Solitare because Khushi is my Heart Guys – that was the Shape of the Diamond I wanted to put on her hand!( well to be Honest guys I had originally wanted to make that a 7 carat peice but then Mom was like Khushi needs to wear this everyday so a 7 carat peice might just overwhelm her so maybe give her that as a gift later on the wedding night in another beautiful princess cut shape – and think of maybe a smaller carat heart shaped diamond peice for this engagement ring and so me,Mom and Anjali and Dad agreed that the 5 carat Heart shaped Diamond would be the best size for this and I know the 5 carat stone has also overwhelmed Khushi...it was in her eyes the minute her eyes fell on the ring..but too bad Princess now is My Time to Pamper You Insane and I will – I have waited for these Moments for So Long..)
And I was really glad that I had asked Mom to get this with her to The Stadium because my earlier plan was to head to Cape Town straight from the stadium – because in my Head initially I had planned to take her to Cape Point on her bday and then propose!
But after all that I had discovered and felt deep within my heart and soul before the Start of the Second Innings – I had a change of plan in my head because I felt that for My Sunshine I wanted to go down on my knee and ask her to be MY Wife – right in front of the whole wide world and for them to record my crazy declaration of endless Love for My Sunshine! I dont mind them Calling me a Goner In Love anyway like my Dad said – When a Raizada Loves we dont shy away from it and the world hears about it in all its Glory!!
And boy I was beyond thrilled to the edge of Galaxy Milkiway at being able to do just that and I was glad that Khushi had given me her consent of revealing her identity for that made me even more thrilled and excited and happy about this!
My Sunshine is still Stumped though!
Did you all see how she's just been stumped to A Trans of a Silence ever since I held out my hand to her in the Staand Row ,then how she walked beside me dazed silently as I held her hand and met all of her near and dear ones and then ofcourse she was shaken beyond words and me handing her my man of the tournament trophy and then ofcourse her heart was UpperCut to the edge of Milkiway after the proposal and that is why I knew she could only get a few sentences out of her mouth with a lot of difficulty because she was obviously very overwhelmed ,but I was Happy because I knew that her this dazed Silence is a very Happy One..that I had sensed immediately,and because I know her through and through I knew she was going to be stunned into that silence for some more time!
Godddd!!
Theres nothing more I want right now to Just be Alone with Her!
But keeping in mind the situation with our families too having Just Met – I know I was going to have to Wait On that!
Darn!
I need to kiss her!
And I need to kiss her Bad and Hard!
There was Probably nothing that would be gentle about my touches and Kisses on her Tonight when I had her alone with me because The Passion that I feel for her within was anyway crazy but now it's gotten INSANELY fuelled further by all this power of Love to the Edge of Milkyway even!
Haha!
I shall Carnage You to Milkyway Sunshine!
Just you wait!
Just you wait!
God can I run to her Already and scoop her in my arms and Disapparate with her straight into Privacy?
Haha!
I know I know I just used the Harry Potter Reference of the WORD disapparate!
Insaner who?
Insaner Me Dammit!
Insaner Me!
And
Goddamiit YOU Sunshine!
Goddamit You!
My chain of inner thought is now broken as we finish the victory celebrations and all of US now hand the Cup to Cap to Hold and the rest of us the team get into another group hug again and then we celebrate a little bit more with our entire Support Team, and out of the corner of my eye in a little further vision by the Dug outs – I see my entire Family stand together and they are obviously smiling and cheering us on just like all the rest of my teams family members and I am overwhelmed with To-the-edge-of-milkiway-Happiness to see Khushi's near and dear ones there too right next to her and on the other side of her is Mom,Dad and Anjali and my heart swells with emotion and I try to look closer to catch onto Khushi's expression again and get her eyes to lock with mine across the ground,right when I feel a hand on my shoulder from behind and I turn around to see my Coach Das Sir smiling at me as he asks- " well I know you are still angry at me deep in there, but how about you let me give me you a hug too son...I am very happy for you and Khushi right now..I truly am...and I apologize to you with all my heart all over again for the judgement of error For a moment in time.."
I take a deep breathe and I recall how this man has been my mentor for all these years ever since he stepped into our team as Head Coach and I cannot deny the fact that I have learnt so much from him in all these years too and so even though I am still angry at him within, a anger that i know will only settle down once I talk it out with MY Sunshine and apologize to her for this from my side too – I nod at him in silence and he hugs me now and I remember seeing MY sunshines text replies to him and her humility and kindness towards him despite of what he did to her – and I hug him back too briefly and he pulls apart minutes later as he says with a sheepish smile – " we will be able to sort this out ASR..I know...let's give it some time.."
I nod silently.
And right then I feel Shiv and Kunal jump to either of my sides as they give me a mischevious look and Shiv grins and says – " you surely can stage up an act ASR..the minute your WiFi's face came up on the screen it's like I was Gaping at Kunal in far vision for he was in the stands closer to where I was and we both realised that you also put up a brilliant act in front of us in the uber the other day along with Ravi...for he obviously knew.."
And I now see Ravi come up to us and we get into a group hug and Ravi winks at me – " oh boy was that fun..I am sure Khushi is still going to kill me for teasing her then..why do u think I havent gone in front of her yet...haha.."
I chuckle on reflex and Shiv and Kunal – " and we are all meeting her tonight at the afterparty surely..she will come to celebrate with you wont she???"
I grin as I admit – "i have to ask her that hoping with all my heart that she will join in and hopefully she should be out of the daze I put her in today...she was still stumped speechless when I walked here for celebrations.."
Ravi winks- " and I am sure she still would be in a daze I mean why wouldnt she be??that was sensationally epic.."
Shiv and Kunal grin at me and they say – "happy for you man so happy for you.." ,and the rest of my team mates now start to congratulate me too for the development in my personal space and I grin now and we all start to walk towards the dug outs now and I hug Cap again and he then hands over the Cup to the boys to hold and they start shooting and cheering again and another picture session begins and Cap and Me stand and watch that grinning and he says giving me a side hug and patting my shoulder again – " and to say that I am happy for you my brother would be an understatement...and I know you know that..", and he paused as he looked at me seriously now – " coach told me about everything that happened ASR..everything he did months ago and what ordeal he put Khushi through and a brief of all that she did to cope up with it too and then how whatever happened in the locker room in between of him and You before the second innings and I want you to know that I was furious too when he told me about it for it was totally unfair to your personal space, and I told him that that even though cricket is a major part of our lives...it is not life on the whole and theres more to life than that..so I Understand your anger and I want you to know that you can come and talk to me about it whenever you want too because obviously this is an awkward spot for us for he is still going to be our Coach so whenever you feel you need to vent out a frustration that you cant channelise towards him for obvious reasons..come talk to me..",he pauses and i nod at him silently and hug him silently in a gesture to thank him for his support and he pulls back now and he gives me a warm smile – and I'm glad that Khushi steered things this way for you positively,and I know how deeply you feel for her and i know you might be fighting the urge to punch COACH sir surely..and not that you already dont know about this but you know how I often use the punching bag as a rescue to vent out frustration sometimes and it helps greatly..", he finishes with a playful wink.
I chuckle now and we share a laugh and now I see the entertainment reporter rush up to me and I gesture to Cap on with the rest of the team and I gesture to him that I will just have a word with her and I am kind off glad she does not have her mike on her or the camera person behind her and she grins at me as she says with a lighthearted smile – " and what a brilliant way to declare your love and your Wifi's identity to the world ASR...none of us could ever have imagined it..it was epic and I was probably the happiest out of the reporters covering it but I was kind of bummed that you didnt reveal your Wifi's mysterious identity through me..and I was wondering if we could get a byte from the two of you specially right now maybe about five minutes because I am sure just like me the world is curious to know a little more of the background to that code word of Hoodie Guy..as in where did you guys meet the first time, why did she think you are a prospective thief,what happened after, it sounds very intriguing..."
I chuckle and I admit with a smile – " well our story is definitely intriguing but I need to discuss this with Khushi first as in how she feels about this and even if she would be ready to talk about it a little it wont definitely be possible right now because she's extremely overwhelmed anyway..and I will not want to put her in front of a mike to the media.because that will make her a little uncomfortable because all of this is extremely new to her so please if you can cooperate with me on that and I promise you one thing though whenever we are ready to talk about our story..we will talk to you first..."
She grins – " ok ok..I understand ASR and we all know she is stumped speechless it was on her face throughout only natural and I respect your space...so I will take on your word then..if you ever talk to anyone about your story it will be me first.."
I nod with a smile – " surely..and thank you so much for your cooperation.."
She grins- " oh but the act you pulled is surely going to be my big story tomorrow along with the cover on the WORLD cup win ofcourse..probably the only two things entire India and maybe half the world will be talking about tomorrow anyway..I mean amongst themselves they already are..surely.."
I chuckle at that as I admit – " yes that we both already know..now if you'll excuse me..I gotta catch up with my Wifi.." , I finish with playful wink.
And I grin to myself now as I make my way towards everyone with the remaining of my team mates who were still celebrating on the ground and just as I near everyone, I can't help but grin to myself at the sight of Khushi standing in the middle of my family and hers as they are all now gathered in a circle and she has her back to me and as I near them I see and hear Ravi now introducing himself to all of Khushi's near and dear ones and then being usually mischevious with Anjali as he also tells Khushis near and dear ones that he was more than just a buddy to me because he loved my sister which came as a surprise to all of them again and also earned Ravi an embarrassed whack on his arm from my sister, but beaming looks from my parents because they know that these two are now giving themselves a serious thought and now I see and hear that Mom is back to chatting up with Khushis aunty asking them about their planned return time to Cape Town for tomorrow and Anjali with Zara and Diya as she discusses the thrill they all had from their stand watching me shock and surprise the daylights out of them all..and Dad is busy talking to Uncle and Rahul about how impressed he was with Khushi's concept of Hit Wicket Your Tongue,Asher ,Zain,and varun are chatting amongst themselves And Asher and Zain were laughing as Vatun was still dramatically being excited about the fact that he couldnt beleive he'd been taking up orders on dishes to my name without knowing the real reason behind it all and just the entire warmth in the scenario warms my heart and oh just in case any of you are wondering why my near and dear ones and especially Khushi is not being hounded by the Media right now is because I asked Ravi to help me take care of that and had sent a special request to the reporters that no one should come and try to pry into Khushi's space at the moment because she is obviously overwhelmed by all that had happened and I had asked Ravi to tell the media to be happy about the fact that they already had a lot to cover and write about and that is why Ravi was at the ground helping me take care of all that before Khushi stepped out on it with everyone.
Ravi is more than a buddy he is always been a brother and that is why even when things went down hill in between of Anjali and Him..anjali always asked me to keep my equation intact because she knew he was one of my bestest friends. And anyway now I think the way the things are progressing in between the two as in Ravi and Anjali..he might become my brother in law soon!
Haha!
I now seeee Ravi pull Khushi to the side away from everyone and because I'm hovering nearby just watching the scene from ears distance - I hear him mischeviously ask Khushi – " khushi am I still getting killed for that fun I had with you in the uber the other day??anjali said I should have recorded your expressions..haha.." ,and I hear Khushi chuckle now as she reply– " maybe Ravi..let me give you an answer to that in a bit as i focus on restarting my VOICEBOX a little..its like I'm still stumped speechless...I was even telling Aranvs mom and dad that..that please forgive me for the daze I'm still in...",she finishes with a chuckle.
And I now grin as I walk up to them from behind and I lace my right hand with Khushi's left one immediately and i bring it up to kiss it briefly ,which startles her immediately and also makes her turn sideways as she look into my eyes and both our eyes are swimming with a zillion emotions as our eyes lock and I ask softly – " you ok??...", and I pull her into a side hug immediately by placing my arms over her shoulder tucking her close into my side and she hugs me and then looks up to meet my eyes again in an intense eye lock as she gestures to me with her hand near her throat that her VOICEBOX is still crashed.
Which makes me chuckle and I kiss her forehead again and Ravi grins as he says- " so as you wanted brother, I made sure the media and the reporters didnt get anywhere around Khushi as she stepped on the ground...but dude once we get to the hotel...theres going to be some crazy frenzy right outside I am sure.."
Khushi now looks at me and she gives me her priceless smile – " you asked Ravi to..",and she paused as she just hugged me again from the side silently and I just kissed her head again as I admitted – " well I know you dont I sunshine..I know you are already overwhelmed..and I am so not having anyone shove a mike in front of you right now..you know I want to enjoy the thought of me being the only one to shove a Mike to you in public..you know like I did it in the stands..", I finish with a chuckle.
Ravi gives me a wink as he gestures to me that he will be with everyone now and oh just in case any of you are wondering why his family members aren't here it's because his mother thinks it's her luck charm if she doesn't come to the stadium to watch a semi or a final game to watch her son play and just watch it from her usual position at home..his family does come to watch the matches often but it is always in the initial stages of tournaments or series never in crucial ones.And so they are all back in India right now!
I am still holding onto Khushi in a tight side embrace and she now pulls back and I cup her face lovingly as I ask again – " are you ok Khushi..love..I know this is obviously overwhelming for you.."
She gives me a smile as she nods through her happy tears that had now welled up her eyes ,and she keeps one of her hands over mine over her cheek and she clears her throat as she dramatically gestures to me that she is able to restart her VOICEBOX a little in front of me which obviously makes me chuckle and she says – " I am ok Love..I am..its just that I am still stunned Hoodie Guy...and yes its overwhelming for me but in a good way...when I gave you consent through my eyes that I was ok with you revealing my identity to the world right there I was prepared in my head for this overwhelming onslaught of emotions but I was not prepared for all that you did after Love..and that's why I am in your magical daze and trans right now..like obviously..you Dumbledorrreee You...",and that makes us both chuckle and I kiss her hand now and she puts her hand over right cheek now and rubs it lovingly as she locks her eyes with me again – "but I ammm okkk dont worry..like I always tell you there isnt anything in the world I wouldnt do for you Love..I told you all this time apart from you in real time helped me prep up myself for this too...."
OHHH NOW I KNOW THE DEPTH OF WHAT YOU MEAN EXACTLY by THOSE WORDS LOVE.
NOW I KNOW.
AND I AM GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS SURELY AND APOLOGOZE TO YOU TOO – ONCE WE HAVE THE AMPLE TIME AND PRIVACY TO OURSELVES WHICH WILL BE LATER ON TOMORROW AFTER NOON WHEN I WHISK YOU AWAY WITH ME FOR SOME ALONE TIME in between of Just You and Me on your Bday!
I look into her eyes as I admit honestly – " I am dying to be alone with your right now.."
She blushes a little but doesnt break away from my intense gaze as she says – ".I know me too..but..", she shrugs her shoulders as she gestures towards everyone and I nod in understanding and she clutches my hand as she whispers looking into my eyes again and she kisses my hand – " before we get to join everyone..I just want you to know Love that I am so so so happy for YOU Arnav.. its like all my prayers have been answered today.. you have all the major medals in your kitty now love like all of them...goshhhh I am so happyyy for you...so so so happpyyyy...I can't thank god ever enough for this...you deserve every bit of this love..every bit of this...and I am so proud of you..and super duper happy for your victory today..your amazing dedication and hardwork and grit to cricket all these years and the honour it is to do all that youv done for your country deserves every bit of the love and celebration that the public and the cricket world bestows upon you and I am so so so happy for you...", and she now wipes two happy tears that have flown down her eyes and she kisses my hand, and closes her eyes as she does.
Oh MY Sunshine...you think I dont know.. but I know the exact emotion you are also going through right now...so much you went through just for me so that I could make it to this point and I know seeing me achieve this means just about everything to you right now.
I know!
I knowww Love...I know!
And I just hug her close because I am overwhelmed too and she hugs me too and I pull back minutes later and I cup her face as I ask – " will you join me in my victory afterparty tonight Khushi..?? You know I will not be able to celebrate today without you..."
She nods happily and she wipes a happy tear as she cups my face again lovingly – " ofcourse I will join you love..but i want you to go back with your team in the team bus because i know it will be crazy on the bus back and you should be with your team then..and I will see you at the hotel surely.."
I Kiss her hand – " i want to be with you though.."
And she smiles – " i am with you anyway..you know that.."
I nod and right then I hear Mom's voice behind us as she says with a chuckle – " ahemmm ahemmm.." and we instantly look up at her and Khushi smiles sheepishly but I keep my hand laced through hers as I look at mom and I chuckle – " seriously Mom..ahem ahem..that's old school..think of something new.."
Khushi chuckles and so does Mom and so does everyone as they walk towards us and Dad grins – "well we were all loving watching the two of you just lost deep in conversation for the last couple of minutes..but son..we need to kind off get off the ground now you know..all though I am sure they wouldnt mind keeping the Wanders open all night just for You.."
Khushi and me both chuckle and right then Mom says – " ok so we were just talking amongst ourselves and wev decided to meet tomorrow morning for breakfast where we can discuss how to take things further.."
I look at Mom ,and I ask clutching into Khushis hand tighter– " tomorrow morning? Why not now after we reach the hotel.."
Khushi's Uncle chuckles now as he walks up to us – " well because I want to sleep over it ASR as in I know you are going to talk to us about taking our Khushi away with you.. and as happy as we are I think me and Raima need to sleep over it...for this was too sudden..."
And I feel Khushi clutch on my hand and I am sure she is overwhelmed because I spot her wipe a tear outta the corner of her eye and I say immediately- " ok uncle.. let's talk tomorrow...morning..but I need your permission to take Khushi with me to the afterparty today..and not just Khushi..I want everyone to join us in.."
Khushi's aunty – " yes ofcourse as in all you kids enjoy yourselves..we are anyway staying in a air bnb 3 bhk flat we rented out for the day near your hotel and we will be sleeping in and see you all in the morning..."
Zara chips in – " and aunty well it will get late partying so..aunty just dont you worry Diya and Khushi can stay with me..and Zain and Asher can share their room and Varun and Aadi can use our room to crash at the hotel itself..you can get their stuff along in the morning itself..or maybe Rahul can pick it up after he drops you.."
Asher steps in as he grins – " well guys it is my Hotel anyway so dont worry about it..even we need more rooms...I anyway asked you all to stay in with us only first but Uncle was more comfortable with booking the air bnb so I didnt push you on that.. and dont worry I shall arrange the perfect space for all of you to have the formal talk at tomorrows breakfast in our presidential suite.."
Khushi says instantly- " Asher please...you dont have to..."
Asher smiles at us – " please khushi let me ..I want to...",and he turns to everyone – " cmon guys let's get going on..."
Rahul – " ok but we dont need more rooms we will share.."
Asher nods - " ok fine no more rooms but I will get the arrangements done for tomorrows breakfast privately in the presidential suite for in the usual buffet restaurant you all wont get the privacy needed due to obvious reasons.."
And I smile at Asher as I say honestly – " thank you Asher.." and I pat his arm and he gives me a genuine smile as he says – " anything for the Mysterious Hoodie Guy and His Wifi.."
And that makes us all chuckle now and right then I hear Cap's voice from behind – " Arnav ,Ravi..are you guys coming on the team bus we are all good to go.."
Khushi now looks at me as she says – " cmon now go with your team..and I will see you in a bit...just 20 minutes..."
I nod now and I kiss her forehead and I say – " twenty minutes.."and I look at Rahul now as he comes to hand me my bat – " here is your bat ASR...and you donkey I cant beleive you told him all about me wanting to smash your Hoodie guy with a bat..like really.. ",he states embarrassed and that makes me laugh and I say MISCHEVIOUSLY – " oh I know a lot more Rahul..because khushi always tells me everything.."
RAhuls eyes widen in surprise as he gapes at Khushi – " so he knows exactly how crazy a fan I am of him and his game..", and I see Khushi smile sheepishly as she hides herself into my side hug and I chuckle as I admit – " yes yes I know everything about all of you.."
Rahul ,Diya,Varun ,Zara especially gape at Khushi embarrassed – oh Khushi you are dead.."
I Chuckle on reflex as I say- " okk guys dont trouble my Khushi too much...I'll see you all at the Hotel.." ,and I turn to Mom,Dad and Anjali – " the media will be swamped out side the hotel just incase you guys reach before us please make sure Dad that no one hounds Khushi right now..",and mom and dad and Anjali nod in affirmative since they are used to wading their way around media and I turn to Asher - "Asher can I request you to ask your team to tighten Hotels security at the entrance as in I know how crazy the frenzy can get and I'm sure it's already tightened as it always is because of all international players staying there but maybe a little more.."
Asher grins – " already done Hoodie Guy..already done.."
I chuckle on reflex as I pat his arm – " thank you.."
He grins at me warmly – " and you are welcome.."
I smile now and I kiss Khushis hand again as I say – " see you soon Love.."
She nods at me happily – " see you soon.."
And I quickly make my way with Ravi to join the rest of my team mates on the crazy ride back to the Hotel and I know we will reach before the rest of them anyway because we will get straight out now and it will still take everyone time to get to their cars and make way to the Hotel.And I turn back to see everyone else dispersing to towards the exit and my eyes fall on Mom picking up my Man of the Tournament award from the table in the dug outs Khushi had placed it at and hand it over lovingly in Khushi's hands and then hugging Khushi to herself one more time, and Khushi clutching onto my award Lovingly as she adjusted it in the crook of her arm.
I smiled to myself as my heart swelled with Love and Emotion.
And to be honest I was quite happy about the fact that my Team bus would reach earlier than everyone else as per my estimate because that way I was sure that I would be waiting at the Hotels entrance lobby to make sure no reporter or the Media could hound her right now.
.....................
Zara exclaimed excitedly – " god ya I still cant believe that Khushi is Wifi, and Hoodie Guy is ASR...like all this while, under our nose, this Khushi ya I am going to kill her for this ya...and oh gosh Zain, just how many times would I have gushed over the fact that how handsome or hot is this ASR in front of her...ohhh goddd...and ASR obviously knows everything already , the mischevious look on his face at the end gave Khushi away...ohh man...me and Diya are beyond embarrassed..."
Zain grinned as he continued driving – " oh yes, I was very amused by the embarrassed look on your and diya's face to be honest all through out...but look at him , what a bloody brilliant way t reveal to the world about his WIFI ...",and now they both paused as they looked at Asher who was deep in thought and they asked together – " are you ok Asher...??",because now that they were alone with their friend they wanted to know what he was feeling about this.
Asher breaks his chain of thought immediately and grins at them – " ofcourse I am ok guys, and I was just thinking about messaging the head of security to tighten it a little more than I already have asked them too because obviously it's the Indian team returning with the CUP and after ASR's epic revelation tonight, its going to be crazy on another level and we know how they can get, I would not want any reporter to get to Khushi tonight too..."
Zain nods and he says – " yes maybe ask them to tighten it further.."
Asher nods and makes the quick call to take care of the same.
And once he is done - Zara looks at her friend in the front seat – " but what I want to know is are you ok?? How do you feel about ASR being Hoodie Guy?"
Asger grins – " well to be honest very happily surprised Zara, and as my head connected the dots it all started to make sense as all that wed heard about Hoodie guy from Khushi about how she would always say we belong to different worlds but we clicked like Magic, or how he is in a very challenging job and is always travelling all over the world, or how she always knew it would be long distance from the start, it all made sense and then ofcourse if you connect the dots about whatever he has spoken in the media over all these months for his WIFI deeply reflects his love too so theres no doubt that his intentions are true and you know what really moved me more was the way he cryptically asked for Khushi's consent before revealing who she was to the world, because even though everyone in the stands was confused, these two knew right...and I am truly happy for them in my heart I am...I told you both maybe that's all I need to see Her Hoodie guy an dher happy in one frame, and now to see how deeply they love each other , I can truly say with conviction that I will be ok, as in I will be able to move on...", he admitted to his friends and to himself smilingly,he knew he would be ok.And he also didn't tell Zara and Zain about his encounters with Arnav earlier ons yet , he would ofcourse but not right now, maybe after they got back to Cape Town.
Zara grins – " oh thank god Asher and I know that smile on your face its genuine and from the heart and that means I know you will be ok and will restart things for yourself naturally and healthily with some more time..."
Asher grins – " yes just some more time...so that I am fair to whoever I am with next...in my head and heart both..ill never completely forget Khushi though...and the love that I have felt for her will be a good memory for me, a very happy one because no matter what, I was very happy feeling what I did...."
Zain grins at his friend – " and I know what you mean by that and that is ok...you never really forget as in memories remain anyway right..and I am so glad you feel this sorted now.."
Asher nods – " I am glad too.."
Zara grins – " I am super duper glad to hear you say that Asher and now I have full faith that you will be ok...",and she paused as she spoke – " and I think you are right, you know as in now that I looked back at it, I think the fact that ASR asked for Khushis consent cryptically before revealing about them to the world touches me deeply too, I mean he wanted to know how she would feel about this...and that only sepaks volumes about how he feels about her.."
Zain chuckles – " yes and the proposal was epic..totally going to be in news for a long time did you see how he went down on one knew in front of the whole world, and Khushi, boy was she stumped...she still pretty much was in half a daze until she got into the car with everyone..and his family is very kool though.."
Asher smiles – " yes you are right about that, she was still in half a daze and only natural and from what I could observe it seemed like his family knew all about him and Khushi from a long time...he was obviously serious about this from a long time, like now that I remember it was him that I spoke to when Khushi was in the MRI and he was in West Indies at that point and to fly half across the world to get to her...he was surely already in love with her then.."
Zara smiles – " hmm yea maybe you are right, I am so going to drill in Khushi for the full story with Diya tonight...but to be honest I am a tad little bit worried too for Khushi guys as in this is a big big change for her but I know he will be there by her side though it all I mean remember how Ravi was teling us whilst they were talking that ASR made sure he had Ravi handle the media and reporters before Khushi stepped on the ground and asked them not to hound her and then how he asked you Asher to tighten security, well he also knows this is a huge change for Khushi but like I said I am sure he will be there with her at every step,and then we all know that hes going to whisk her away and by the look of what he did tonight, he wants to do it soon..and so I am also a little overwhelmed because I will miss her so much...but I am happy for her...so so happy..so its like a bittersweet moment for me right now"
Zain nods in agreement – " bittersweet in indeed.."
Asher smiles – " bittersweet indeed...".Just like the memory of his unrequited first Love.But like he said he was ok – and he truly meant it for in his heart he was a Happy man today and not Sad at all.
And right then a thought clicks in Zara's head – " oh my god guys now I just remembered as in it all clikcs in my head – khushis panic attack in your cabin Zain months ago – remember??? Now it all clicks in my head as in this was all for Hoodie Guy anyway but now that we know who Hoodie Guy is I can only wonder who was it from his side of the world that came to talk to Khushi and put her in such a awkward spot??"
Zain nods – " yeah now that you mentioned it I think the same, and Khushi did tell us that she would never tell her Hoodie Guy about the truth because it would bring down the level of his respect for his guru..so guru as in..."
Asher sighs as he says cautiously – " Guru...I am guessing Guru..maybe his coach or something...and guys let Khushi decide if she wants to talk to ASR about this..i reckon she wont..".
But Arnav will – he adds to himself silently.
Zara nods – " ofcourseee yaaa...I am loyal to Khushi..through and through.."
Zain nods – " I agree.."
Asher grins to himself as he looks out the window of the Car as they are now nearing the Hotel – well he was Loyal too but just in a different way – and he was Happy in his heart that he had been the one to tell ASR the truth about everything that had happened that day, in the way he had been able too.
Khushi deserved all the Happiness in the world for the Angel that she was.
And he was very happy to know that the man whom she loved so deeply only loved her back with the same intensity and realised how precious she was– and he was sure he would keep her Happy all her Life.
And hence today and Always – because of what he had truly felt in his heart for Khushi – he sent up a silent prayer wishing Arnav and Khushi all the very best – now and always!
....................................
Meanwhile Simultaneously –
As Diya – Rahul- Uncle – Aunty and Khushi and Varun got into the 7 seater Car they had rented for the day at the Stadium
Khushi was sitting in the middle holding onto Arnav's man of the Tournament award safely in her hands and Diya and Aunty were next to her in the middle seat and Varun was at the back seat.Rahul was driving and Uncle was sitting next to him in the front seat.
And everyone had been in a silent Happy Daze of their Own for the last five minutes ever since they had left the stadium.
Rahul looks in the review mirror as he stops at a red light and sees a sight of his goody crazy donkey Khushi who was like a sister to him lost in her happy Daze and his heart is overwhelmed because now that the shock and surprise of who her Hoodie Guy was starting to settle in , so was a little worry because he knew what a massive change had already been triggered tonight for Her , and uptil now Khushi had been a very private person and now all of a sudden overnight , the world was talking about her and it was obvious that nothing about her importance to her private space would be the same in the sense – it was already Public and it wasn't just that it was the fact that ASR's world was so different from theirs and Khushi's life had been way too simpler in that sense and he knew ASR had no qualms about that but would Khushi be able to settle in a world that was totally different from the one she was living in now?? In his heart he knew she would because the look on her face was giving her away but just for the sake of his mind he needed to hear it from her and so he took a deep breathe as he looked at his father sideways as he says with a little concern evident in his voice – " dad..i think after everything that happened tonight, I am sure he as in ASR and his family want to whisk our donkey away soon...",and he pauses as he turns around to look at Khushi – " donkey, you are going to go live half across the world from us and trust me I am the happiest for you in my heart , I mean my cricketing god ASR turns out to be your hoodie guy and all these months me and Diya or just all of us have been talking about and discussing about how deeply he loves his Wifi and how lucky she is etc etc and now to know that you are Wifi...its like I am very very happyyyy but let me be honest to you I am a little worried...donkey his world is very different the look on your face tells me that you are ready to take on anything for him just like him probably but are you sure you are prepared in your head for this??? Its going to be overwhelming donkey...very very overwhelming and you will also be in a part of the world that is going to be completely new...and now that I think back I think you already had a hunch about this didn't you that's why youv been letting the rest at Hit Wicket your Tongue handle it all as in the execution, I think you v been doing a informal handover since the last 40 days already...this was what all that was about right?? Explaining things out to step by step to me or the rest of us for that matter..."
Khushi'e eyes well up with emotion automatically as she hears Rahul and she feels Diya and aunty clutch on her hands from wither sides and Varun put a hand on her shoulder from behind too and Khushi nods as she admits taking a deep breathe – " yes I knew as in it was decided amongst us a long time ago Rahul that we would take things ahead after his world cup and my this bday because in all this while of us not seeing each other in real time has not only strengthened things for us but I also took that time to work on myself emotionally on everything, and to be honest to you I know it is going to be overwhelming , all this change, but for him I can face anything Rahul and I will..i am prepped up in my head and heart for it all and I know he is..."
Diya immediately chips in – "and we know he is going to be there and support you through and through, he loves you deeply it was on his face , it has been for a long time now and after everything he did today, its not like we have any doubt on that Khushi, we know he will protect you and keep you happy and now that we think of it, its like look at all that youv done for him too...I mean now I know why you let go of your daddys restaurant that day and switched on the tv and then made hit wicket your tongue happen..."
Rahul nods as he starts driving – "and now the words that you said to me on that day have a different meaning altogether, when I asked you what just happpend in your head you said something like a destined catharsis I didn't understand it then, I understand it now...and I just need to hear from you again once that you are ready for this..its a massive shift Donkey..."
Khushi takes a deep breathe as she admits – " I am ready Rahul and its all about him anyway...and his love gave me the power to heal myself..and it has...and I want you all to know that I am not going to come to Cape town in a bus or a train this time...I will take the plane with him....thats the last fear that is left to conquer and I want to do it too..."
Rahul smiles now as he nods – " Donkey..i am happy for you..and my worry is eased now that you tell me all of that...and I don't know what to say yet except for just one thing which is -well the things you do for Love...don't we Diya?"
Diya grins at her husband – "oh yes the things we do for love..."
Aunty now hugs Khushi – "we just want you to be happy no matter where you are in the world its just that this has happened so suddenly, I don't think I was prepared to let you go yet..."
Uncle takes a deep breathe as he says now – " and will we ever be ready to let you go Khushi beta??maybe not how can we ever be prepared to let go of you..and that is why this in our hearts right now is bittersweet because this makes us very happy because its not just Arnav who is a gem of a person, its his family too, his dad, mother, Anjali, the affection they already have for you after listening to Arnav talk to them about you, already speaks volumes of the fact that we have nothing to worry about, for they will cherish you...but like rahul said...its bitter in our hearts because you are going to be so far awayyyy..."
Khushi is overwhelmed with emotion and bittersweet tears now do leave her eyes and she hugs Aunty and Diya from either of her sides and she whispers softly – " I love you all..."
Rahul wipes a overhwhelmed tear out of his eye as he drives – " we love you to donkey and we know your happiness lies with him , but just know that we will miss you very much..very very much..."
Diya now wipes her very own tears – " very very much...khushi you are like my sister.."
Khushi hugs onto aunty and Diya and then seconds later she keeps a hand onto Uncles and Rahul's shoulders – "and I will miss you all too...very very much..i can never put it into words.."
Varun looks at the emotional scene in front of him and he now wants to make everyone smile as he says – " Rahul, how about we add a drink to ASR's Wifi too in the menu...like you know ASR's Mysterious Wifi's favorite Cup of Tea...and we all know how Khushi loves her tea and then maybe a dish too, aunty Khushi loves those jalebi's no, maybe we can add – ASR's Wifi's topsy and Turvy jalebis to the menu too..."
Everyone now chuckles and Khushi wipes her happy tears and she turns back to look at Varun and pulls on his ears mischeviosuly – " and I will miss you so much too...."
Varun grins – " really?? Acha Please tell ASR to sign my bat na please.."
Khushi grins – " ohhh..sure..ask him yourself na.."
Varun shakes his head – " no wayyyy..as in ..i am till fan zoned to another level in front off him.."
Diya – " well so am I.."
Rahul grins – " well so am I to be honest...it will take in sometime for it to sink in that my cricketing hero and god Is your Hoodie Guy...and oh wait..he said something like you met him first that way in a weird get up...where did you meet him??"
Khushi grins as she admits – " well he came in dressed up in his crazy hoodie ok right into our doors of Chai and Coffee past closing time on the 16th of Feburary...."
Rahul and Diya and Varun gaped at Khushi, Rahul through the review mirror, Diya next to Khushi and Varun from behind her – " whattt??? You met him at Chai and Coffeee?????? Like our Chai and Coffee??"
Khushi grins as she admits – " yes yes so guys it was like he walked in this crazy hoodie get up that covered his face and then its like I couldn't see him ok because his face was all hidden and he said he was hungry and wanted just a coffee and a sandwich...and I was like I am sorry sir I cant make a sale technically because its passed closing time already but you can have my coffee since I just made one for myself..but because I cant turn away anyone who is hungry so before I get to helping you out with that Sir, I just need to know that I hoped you aren't a thief or a criminal because all I needed to do was press a button and the police would be there in three minutes and then in the meanwhile I could have handled him because I am trained in marshall arts..."
Everyone burst into laughter immediately and Rahul said amused – "god you are such a goof Khushi but tell me you couldn't see him yet ??"
Khushi grins – " no no I couldn't ok...and then ofcourse he himself laughed at that and he was like no I assure you that I am not some theif or criminal just a normal person who is very hungry right now...and then I was like ok then I will help you with some food but first let me close down because I didn't want anyone else to walk in post closing time and then he also asked if I needed help with the shutters and I was like no I do this everyday and then that was when I sais – hey you hoodie guy why don't you wait in the backoffice whilst I get you something to eat.."
Rahul and Uncle together in unison – " whattt?? He sat in our then backoffice???"
Khushi grins as she nods – " yes yes, right in the chair you mostly sit in Rahul too..and he still has his hoodie on and guess what do I get him to eat.."
Diya asks excited – " whattt??"
Khushi grins at the fond memory – " well what else could I dish up in two minutes ya..maggi..."
Now everyone laughs again and Rahul grins amused – " holy crap...you call the vice captain of the Indian cricket team a prospective thief, give him the code name hoodie guy which I still say is freaky and then you give him maggi to eat...god you donekey..what after? When did you know it was him??"
Khushi chuckles as she admits – " well wait....i want to tell you all about it , but now that I think Zara will make me repeat this...so Diya I will fill in you and Zara about it all..and then you can tell this Monkey.."
Rahul grins – " fine you donkey ..",and he looks at his father who was now smiling himself and so was his mother in the backseat as she gazed at Khushi lovingly and he asks – " mom dad, ill drop you guys first and then we will head to the Hotel?for we will be there in two minutes by our air bnb flat and ill come up and get our stuff and then we will head to the hotel
Uncle and aunty nod and uncle says – " enjoy yourselves kids and we will see you in the morning.."
Varun – " yes we will uncle but Khushi I want to know too..your story.."
Khushi grins – " okk I will tell you later ok??,and varun grins and right she sees the worry now leave her near and dear ones and she smiles to herself as she clutches onto Arnav's award lovingly.
And right then her phone beeped in her pocket.
It was Arnav ofcourse.
Arnav : where are you love? I cant wait to see you.
Khushi smiles to herself as she replies : we should be there in 5 minutes love. Just dropping uncle and aunty first and then we will come to the hotel.Rahul will just go up for a minute to get our stuff as in his and diya cabin bags because my stuff is in Diya's luggage too.
Arnav : Come soon Love! Don't make me wait longer!
Khushi smiles as she replies : Coming soon Love.(she adds a heart)
.............................................
Arnav looks at his Dad, Mom ,Ravi and Anjali , Zara, Zain and Asher as they are all standing with him just inside the hotel lobby right after the entrance waiting for Khushi's arrival and he turns to Asher as he says – " thank you for the additional security..Asher.."
Asher sighs – " well its still quite crazy though the media frenzy outside because they are speculating that you waiting here in the lobby with us since the last ten minutes and not having joing the afterparty with the team already means that you are waiting for Khushi.."
Zain gazes outside at the line of eager reporters and cameramen who had been here at Asher's hotel in Joghannesburg for a long time now covering up the entry of the Australian team back into the hotel and then post that the grand arrival of the Indian Team with the World Cup about 15 minutes ago just as they had reached too and he knew Asher was right that they were now staying back because they were speculating to get some answers out of Khushi and he says – " maybe ask Rahul to pull in from the back enterance Asher? Its getting crazy outside.."
Arnav nods as he looks out – " maybe...",and right then he hears Zara say – " oh shoot...that's Rahul pulling in , I know the number..its the car they rented for the day ..."
Arnav says immediately – " ok guys im going to go out, and ill hold onto her hand and get her here myself that's the only way I will be able to protect her from the onslaught of the media..",and that Makes Zain and Asher and Zara smile as they See Arnav immediately make a move to the entrance he immediately heads out to the entrance door now and to Zain, Zara and Asher's pleasant surprise they see Arnav's Dad, Mom and Anjali and Ravi join him in his steps immediately and Arnav's dad say– " with you son, I am not letting this overwhelm Khushi too...you get her in and we will surround you guys and wade out the reporters politely.."
Arnav's Mom winks at her son– " totally, they get too cheeky then I know how to divert them..you know son I still gotta a lot of theatre left in me..."
Anjali smiles – "ravi you be next to dad and I will be next to mom.."
Ravi nods and winks at Anjali – " don't worry Anj..i got this...ill just crack a joke with a reporter if need be and indulge in some amusing q and A's..as always.."
Asher, Zara and Zain grin amongst themselves as they exchange a knowing look that warms each of their hearts at the sight they just saw for in their hearts they knew that they had nothing to worry about at all – Khushi was going to be very happy with Arnav and his family surely.They all would make sure of that – not just Arnav.And that is why the three of them just stand rooted to their positions and let Arnav and his family take the lead in there.
Arnav smiles at his family and nods in agreement and he moves in quick stride towards the car now and he knocks on the drivers seat window and Rahul rolls down the window immediately and he says in a relieved voice – "ASR, I was almost pulling away...and was just about to message Asher that its impossible for Khushi to get down here right now and not be swamped by these reporters and media.."
Arnav nods as he says looking at Rahul and smiles at Varun in the front seat– " don't worry I got this...give the car to the valet for now..",and he eyes at the middle seat back to see a very nervous Khushi sitting next to Diya looking out the windows towards the media crowd nervously but just as she spots him and he smiles at her in reassurance and their eyes lock he sees her nervousness vanish and she gives him her heart-warming smile reassuring him through her eyes that she was ok and she clutched onto his award in her arms and his heart swells with love and emotion, because he knows how all of this was always a very big thing for Khushi but just for him she was ready to accept any change happily and that only made him fall even more crazily in love her by the second and he gestures to the Valet to come over now and he sees Rahul and Varun get down first and Arnav looks at Rahul and he says turning to Ravi – " ravi help Rahul and Diya and Varun get in first..",and he gestures Diya to get out first and gestures to Khushi to just hold on for a minute in her seat and she nods in affirmation and Diya gets out and Rahul puts and arm around Diyas shoulder protectively and Ravi and his Dad help Rahul and Diya and Varun wade through the Reporters who were now starting to prompt questions to them too.
Ravi grins at Arnavs dad as they now step into the lobby and Rahul ,Diya and varun stand with Zain, Zara and Asher and Rahul exclaims – " phewww that was insane..."
Arnav's Dad amused– " I don't know what the world is more excited about right now Indias world cup win or my sons love life..i think right now it is the latter...goshh the banter.."
Ravi grins – " yes it surely is the latter right now for the entire team is already in and partying..that world cup win frenzy was over then Uncle...this is totally about the Interest in the love life that just got very public..come on lets go.."
Rahul, Diya , Varun and Asher, Zain, Zara watch with a heartwarming smile on their faces from the glass doors through the lobby entrance as they see Arnavs dad and Ravi join in his mother and Anjali right outside the backseat door and Arnav now gestures for Khushi to step out.
Arnav opens the door for Khushi first and then gives her his hand to hold to step put and she takes it with a small smile as their eyes lock and he gives her reassurance through his eyes that hes here with her and she nods back through her eyes in a gesture – that she knew that and then she takes his hand and steps out and Arnav puts a arm around her shoulders lovingly and proactively and pulls her closer into his side and Ravi, Anjali, his mom and dad circle around them and Arnav starts walking in towards the lobby and he whispers to Khushi – " love...just ignore this ok..you don't have to answer anything...don't be nervous..ok..im here..", and then his Dad, Mom, Ravi and Anjali just politely dodge the reporters questions and inquisitiveness about Khushi and then about Khushi and Arnavs love story, or the wedding date for that matter or asking Khushi to show them the ring for a clearer picture and they continued to lead the way for Arnav and Khushi into the lobby.
Khushi was obviously very nervous when she had seen the rush of the media outside the hotel entrance and she was wondering how to get down the car and not be swamped and she had no clue how to get past this since this was her first time ever being under this kind off a spotlight and she was scared too but right as Rahul had rolled down the window and she had registered in the sight of Arnav there – she felt her nerves relax to another level. He was always going to be there for her at every step – she knew that for sure and that had given her great courage as usual!And then just as she had stepped out holding onto his award clutched in her arms tight, and felt his arms go around her shoulders protectively as he pulled her closer into his side and whispered as he started walking - " love...just ignore this ok..you don't have to answer anything...don't be nervous..ok..im here..", she felt all her edginess vanish as she just let the comfort of his arms do the magic and held onto him and she just gave a polite smile to the reporters in silence as the cameras continued to flash at them being circled in between by the rest of Arnavs family as they led the way in.
Once they were in the lobby now safe and away from the media frenzy, Arnav immediately hugged Khushi as he kissed her forhead and then cupped her face lovingly as he asks, his eyes locking with hers – " you ok??"
Khushi nods in daze as she says holding onto his award with one hand and his arm with another – " goshh Arnav..that was insane..I..i..was so nervous when Rahul pulled in the car at the porch.."
Arnav kisser her forhead – " I knew you would be..",and he kisses her hand as he asks – " feel better now?"
Khushi smiles – " I was better the minute I saw you...Love..and you know that...",and Arnav laces his hand with her with a heartwarming eye lock and smile and they walk towards everyone and Khushi thanks Arnavs dad, mom, Anjali and Ravi for help and support
Arnav's Dad now grins as he looks at Khushi – " I will accept your thanks Khushi only if you will me dad too....in the next second maybe..i am sure Arnav already told you that we are one crazy mad family..."
That makes everyone chuckle and warms Asher, Zain, Zara, Diya and Rahul and Varun's heart.
Arnav looks at Khushi and winks at her– " tell him Khushi..that I told you that already...hed asked me to give that disclaimer to you long ago.."
Khushi chuckles now happily – " yes yes he did..but since aunty asked this off me first in the stadium..and now you did so too uncle...and so warmly and lovingly that its overwhelmed me a lot..I think I will just say it together– thank you soo much Mom and Dad..",and just as she finishes her sentence she is pulled into a hug by Arnav's mom and dad at the same time and they pull apart minutes later and Arnavs mom says with a smile – " I need you to come Home fast...now that I have met you...I don't know about my son..but I surely cant wait longer...and I know nor can Anjali, or this senior Raizada...and to be honest I already was on a long call with Arnavs dadi on the way here and she was saying that she couldn't sleep because she was so excited by what she saw on tv and was also disappointed that we all met you and she didn't..."
Arnav's heart warms up at the sight and he clutches on Khushis hands and Khushi nods at them happily as she says – " you all are amazing...thank you so much for making me feel so welcome.."
Arnav's Mom – " oh iv been waiting to welcome you into my arms since a long time ever since my son came back from that tour in cape town last year and told me mom I think iv met some one I really like and I think she is the one...because you have no idea how glad I was because always until then it was always cricket business cricket or business...id never heard any girls name from my sons mouth...so I was like thank you god...and then a month later when he tells me that Mom I am in love with Khushi..like deeply in love..but I just need to take it slow with her and woo her so that I dont end up overwhelming her with all my heavy duty emotions and I was like dont worry son I am sure you will be able to win her heart for me and your father trust our charming Gene's.. "
Everyone Chuckles now and Arnav looks at his mother amused – " Mom...please..you can reveal my secrets like I have no problem in that at all but how about you choose another time for it...which would definetly be later.."
Arnavs Mom chuckles – " ok fine not now but later surely.."
Arnav's dad – " cmom cmon, lets go and rest let the kids enjoy.."
Arnav's Mom winks at Khushi – " see you tomorrow morning Khushi.."
Khushi grins – " see you Mom and Dad..",and she herself feels her heart swell again with overwhelmed emotions – as she sees them make their way towards the lift.
Shed never called anyone else Mom and dad ever – but something about Arnavs parents had immediately touched a string in her heart for they were so loving and sincere – just like him and that's why shed let her heart guide her and go with the flow of it and it felt right to her heart to call them dad and just saying out the word Mom and Dad again , overwhelmed her but in a very happy way and she now just hugs Arnav again and Arnav knows that now he just needs to be alone with Khushi.
Arnav looks at everyone as he says – " ravi take everyone to the party please..and me and Khushi will just join in.."
Zara walks up to Arnav now and teases – " oh no way...you think you can get some alone time with Khushi right now..no way..."
Arnav smiles in his usual charming yet mischevious way – " Zara..just fifteen minutes maybe..you know I do need to get my award in my room before I get to the party.."
Zara grins looking at Arnav – " fine...fifteen minutes...we are going to come barge in to trouble you guys if you aren't down in the party soon.."
Arnav nods and he takes Khushi by the hand now and they both smile at everyone and Khushi gestures to her near and dear ones that she will be with them soon, and Arnav now leads the way to the elevator.
Rahul still looks dazed as he asks Diya pinching himself – " tell me this is the reality as in I am not in a dream right, diya pinch me pinch me pease..maybe just maybe because im such a huge fan of ASR what if I am imagining this in a crazy dream that ASR is Hoodie Guy and everything that had happened tonight is probably just a figment of my imagination..and I will wake up and the World Cup also hasn't happened and it will be the morning of 25th of November.."
Diya pinched Rahul hard and that makes him help in pain and he groans – " not that hard YA Diya.. okkk fine I am not crazy then this is the reality and not a dream.."
And that makes everyone chuckle and Ravi now grins as he askes everyone to come with him to the party.
For Today they were not just celebrating the World Cup Victory but also Celebrating the Mysterious Love of Hoodie Guy and Wifi's that had just come to Light!
Tonight was surely going to be Good Good Night!
..........................
KHUSHI'S POV
Ok.
Guys.
To say that I was Nervous right now would be an Understatement!
Okkk.
But just to Make It Clear.
HAPPYYYYILY NERVOUS TO THE EDGE OF MILKIWAY!
AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE HAD ME UNDER HIS TRANS LIKE A HYPTONISED PRISONER WHO COULDNT LOOK AWAY FROM HIS EYE LOCK – THAT WAS EXTREMELY INTENSE!
LIKE INTENSER THAN ANY OF OUR EYE LOCKS EVER BEFORE !
( LIKEEEE JEEZZZZ I DIDNT EVEN THINK THIS WAS POSSIBLE)
Soo Me and Arnav are alone in the Elevator right now and the minute we stepped in and the doors closed, he pushed me against the side wall AND CAGED ME IN BETWEEN HIS ARMS AND that made me very nervous because guys after everything that had happened tonight it was like I was continuously being overwhelmed with so many happy emotions that it was Insane and now that we were finally alone after all of that and us going Public and Declaring our very secret Romance to the whole wide world...I knew that Arnav was finally going to unleash some Massive Carnage on my Lips very soon like he always did the minute we would step into his room and for a minute I thought he would kiss me right here in the Elevator and that's why I had closed my eyes nervously the minute he had pushed me into the side wall of the elevator and that had made him chuckle and he immediately leaned in and whispered in my ears the very same that only he knew how he was fighting the urge to kiss me right there but he was waiting because there were cameras in the Elevator and then he instructed me to just open my eyes and looking into his as he gazed into mine intently and waited for the elevator to take us up to the 17th floor where his room was and I could only do that dazed and shaken and nervous as his one arm now pressed the non stop button on the elevator so that it wouldnt stop on any floor in between and his other arm was on the wall next to me and I was standing hyptonised in between his arms still holding onto his award clutched tight in my arms.
And Boy yes I was nervous and yet very very excited too because this was the Beginning of what we had both been waiting for Ever!
FINALLYYYYY!
AFTER ALL THIS ACHING WAIT AND PATIENCE OF KEEPING MY PROMISE TO COACH SIR!
It was all Finally Done and It felt like all of everything that had happened in between us in all these months apart in real time was kind off Worth it too because it really helped me reach a point that I was ready to embrace any change with a Smile on my face...for nothing could deter my feet from standing next to His!
I mean otherwise do you guys how skeptical I was about all of this spotlight , and public attention etc myself back when I met him...like I didnt even want to tell anyone about me knowing him because it felt it would add to much drama into my Life..and that was how it was until I fell in love with him...but it obviously started to get better once we were together but I think these 11 months apart from him in real time helped me deal with all that earlier mindset of mine!
And look where am I Today?
Ready to Face anything and Everything Head On with A Grin Up My face!
So Like they Always Say guys – whatever happens it happens for the Best!
Okkkkk.
Okkkk.
HOLY Shit!
The elevatofools reaching his floor now and the way he is looking at me...there is something different guys it's like it almost feels like his eyes are trying to convey something very deep to me in away telling me that he probably just fell in love with me deeper and deeper and I understand the emotion as in I can read his every gesture but back in my crazy head..I'm just wondering what did I even do to make him feel this way its him who has just done just that to me tonight – I mean the way he protected me in front of the media and shielded those crazy flashes with his one arm as he took me in...it totally made me fall Insanely in love with him again.
OHHH yessss I know...its because I Stepped into the Wanders Stadium!
Yes that's what this is about!
And right then the elevator reaches his floor and the door opens and he now takes me by the left hand and just walks in an intense silence towards his room and my eyes automatically fall on the ring on my finger!
Its bloody Gorgeousss and Beautiful but guys that huge heart shaped diamond is a tad bit overwhelming to see as in I think I will need a lot of time to get used to seeing that on my finger...and I am just thinking if I should tell him about this or not as in if I should tell him if the rock is overwhelming me or not..I mean...I do always tell him everything and I can tell him honestly that even though it overwhelms me I will never take it off for he made me wear it with so much love...its just that maybe I need some time to get used to seeing it on my finger..yes yes..I can tell him that..
IT'S MY HOODIE GUYYY GUYSSS – I Can and I will always tell him about everything!
Oops not everything- I mean that thing about COACH sir!
That I cannot ever tell him – it will lower his Guru's respect in his eyes so yes that is a secret I will have to guard and now all of this is over anyway and in the best way possible as in India has won the WORLD cup..My Hoodie guy has all the medals now..COACH sir is Happy too..We are now starting our Forever ..things will surely go Smooth only in between our families so its like Win Win for All...soo sorry God for I will have to just keep this one secret and keep Dr Priya only as the cover forever!
Sorry Arnav!
And now amongst this crazy Inner thought Rant , we finally reach the end of the long corridor where his room is and I just smile at him nervously as our eyes lock intensely and he now opens the door and holds it open for me and festures me silently to get in and I nod at him and I walk in - in quick strides and I immediately keep His Award on the center table in the Suite part of his room and I look around the room as I say in order to distract myself from the nervous excitement – " goshh Arnav...your room is beauti..." , and to my surprise before I can complete my sentence or the word beautiful I feel myself being turned around my an urgent tug on my arm and before I know it Arnav has pulled me into his arms and his lips are over mine immediately as he pulls me closer into himself by now snaking his arm around my waist in a super intense and possessive grip and he starts to keep me hard and deep and I am obviously surprised by the increase in the intensity of the Carnage and heat level of his lips over mine in a moment that feels like its shot up on the Heat and Intensity meter to the edge of Milkiway in like two seconds and I am not complaining though because I am loving his carnage on me and I now try to kiss him back as deeply as I try to match his moves but he wont let me as usual and he completely dominates this heated duel in between our lips as he continues to kiss me deeply..like deeper than ever before!
Like yes – I am sure...as in yes I am in a trans right now!
But I know this feels different and so much more Intensely Carnaging THAN EVER BEFORE!
LIKE THIS IS FREAKING THE MOST CARNAGING KISS IN BETWEEN OF US AS NONE OF US ARE BEING EVEN A TAD BIT GENTLE on the other..like even I am not being Gentle at all haha...Iv learned well...I have always been a good student...and I now just wrap my arms around his neck tighter and tug him closer to myself as I kiss him back harder because theres so much intense emotion inside of me right now like it felt like all that moment we had been waiting for for all these ACHING months ..that moment was finally here..OUR forever was beginning and this Carnagingly Flamed in a massive Heat kiss was a reflection of our deep emotions from within our hearts as we are trying to pour on everything we feel we cannot put in words to each other for I know what this means to him and he knows what this means to me!
GODAMMITTTT
GUYSSSS
WE ARE INSANEEEEW GUYSSSS!
HE IS GOING TO FREAKINF BURN MY Lips with all this Heat and I am probably going to Burn His!a
AND oh My God – the way he is touching me all over my back and pulling me closer to himself...his intensely passionate touch is destroying me as usual too!
And just then he picks me up by the waist and I wrap my legs around his waist on reflex in our usual intense embrace that we both love and hes carrying me somewhere – god knows where...to another floor in Heaven surely as he wont stop kissing me and I wont stop kissing him too.
Who wants to Breathe?
NOT ME.NOT HIM.
And I feel myself being pushed into the bed now as he continues to kiss me and we don't even break away for a second and I just pull him closer to myself on reflex like I always do by wrapping my arms around his neck and tightening my legs around his waist and he now pulls me by the waist closer into his frame even more intensely like as close as humanly possible and we continue to unleash massive Carnage on each others Lips.
But wait.
How is it even possible for us to even kiss each other this way ?
I mean in a way that's even more Freaking Intenser...Madder....Crazier...and ,passionater and Deeper than ever before and it's like its massive Carnage than ever before.
Goshhh.
I.am.Killed.
And I have no idea how many minutes have passed but because this was so intense on heat I feel like I need to catch on a breathe now and I finally take his lower lip into a single lip kiss like I usually do as a signal to him that I need to break away and he now recently started taking my upper lip in a similar moment before breaking away and he finally breaks away and buries his head on the crook of my neck as he whispers in my ears – " godammit Sunshine...do you have any idea how crazily I have waited for this moment...for our Forever to begin...you understand dont you why all that increase in the intensity of Carnage on your lips today..."
I am all heaving in his arms and breathless too as I just hug him hard and I pull him closer and I whisper in his ears – " I know..."
He pulls up now and cups my face lovingly and he asks rubbing a thumb sensuality against my lips that too feel massively CARNAGED after that crazy hard kiss on between of us that wasnt even gentle for a second – " you want some water Sunshine??"
I nod dazed looking into his eyes and he hands me the water bottle from the side table pulling up a little and I pull up a little and i start to drink down some water and I had half the bottle to him to drink up too as we are still embraced intimately into each other and his eyes wont leave mine and mine wont leave his and once he has finished sipping the entire bottle he shoves it aside as he says now pulls put my hair loose from the ponytail and pushes me back into the bed as his eyes lock with mine again in a smoldering gaze and I say immediately as I remember – " Arnav..we do have to get to the afterparty..everyone must be wondering where we are or what's taking us so long..."
Arnac chuckles now as he kisses my forehead- " oh my innocent Sunshine..they know we need some privacy..and what afterparty all i need right now is to be with you.." ,and he laces both his hand through mine as he pins my hands to my side upwards and holds them in his grip and he now whispers in my ears – " its your Sunshine...and we won the World Cup.such a lucky day and look at the coincidence we are both wearing my jerseys which I need to take out now.."
OH SHOOT!
I AM DEAD JUST BY THE WAY HE SAID THAT!
AND.
He pulls up now a little and his eyes ask mine if I was ok with that and I nod dazed and he pulls out his jersey first and then before I know it mine is pulled off me too and I am pushed back into the pillows immediately and I close my eyes immediately as his hands travel down my frontal side of the throat and I feel him clutch on my locket now and he asks intently – " you were wearing this all day today??"
Ok remember how he had given this to me long ago and asked me to wear it on all the time but once just weeks after of wearing it regularly I just told him that if I could keep it safely because I feared losing it by wearing it around everyday and wear it on special occasions and he totally understood my concern then and was ok with so ever since then I wore o kept it safe in my locker in my studio and wore it on our special occasions like the 16th of every month as time passed in between of us..or the times that sometimes he wanted to see me wear it over my tube tops on the video calls.
I am all heaving and breathless in his arms as I feels his hands caresses all of my upper body Intensely lingering sensuality over and around my black brasserie and he says huskilyy – " open your eyes Sunshinne..please I need to look into them right now..."
I open them now.
OH goshhh.
I shouldn't have!
Why is he looking me like that – Like in a gaze so Smolderingly Passionately electrically Intense that I feel every inch of my Upperbody flush just by his gaze on it and he asks again – " you wore this all day todayyy???my Oceans merge locket?"
I nod hyptonised as I admit softly gathering all my guts and looking into his eyes – " I did..I was holding onto it and praying all throughout the game...Love..all throughout the Game..especially before your last over...I was so nervous for you...you know I thought that maybe you would be feeling so much pressure in that moment almost as if you are in a pressure cooker in the head...and to ne honest to you after your win I cried a little in happy overwhelmed emotions ofcourse...i was so so so happy for you Love.."
He smirks a little amused as his hands continue to touch me everywhere over my upperbody and he ssays looking into my eyes intently– " remind me to tell you something on that pressure cooker note later on ok..but first I need to get my stamp over your heart and look at my luck this locket pendant ends right over your heart too and the fact that I am now reading and experiencing every bit of what i mentioned to you when i made you wear it and assured you that the two Oceans can merge smoothly is driving me nuts..and I want to see all of you...as in your upperbody atleast..so if that's ok..can I take this off Sunshine?.", he asks tugging down my brasserie strap from both my shoulders and he looks into my eyes in a smoldering burning gaze – " only if it's ok with you..trust me..I am on that alert for control...just a little step up though from your last Carnaging class.."
And I feel like a addicted dazed hyptonised prisoner and was he crazy?
I trusted him more than anything.
I know he was going to take this Slow with me because he could already see the way I was going nuts hyperventilating under his gaze right now and I just look into his eyes and listen to my heart and I Nod in affirmative and I feel him grin as he immediately tugs down my shoulder straps and then he buries his head into the crook of my neck and starts to unleash his usual magical carnage on necklines and shoulder blades and he now whispers in my ears – " this time in will give you my stamps after I take this off you and see all of you which will be in the next two seconds...", and it makes me shiver and tremble in his arms.
His words.
They kill me too in anticipation of what is coming next and I have never experienced any of this and that is why it wrecks me nervously too but also thrills me on another level.
And oh we are still intensely embraced into each other as in my legs are still around his waist and i feel him trail a line of hot kisses down my entire left shoulder blades driving me insane as he turns me a little sideways now and I feel him unclasp the hook of my brasserie and his hands roam all over my bare back sensuality as he co tinues to kiss my shoulder blades and neckline and all the time his beard is rubbing against my skin and it's affecting me in the ways I cannot explain and I am lost...I can only moan his name in a daze and trans as I feel him tug on the only remaining piece of cloth on my upperbody almost pulling it away compeltely driving me crazy in anticipation and thrill as I hear a loud sound of a shrill bell go through my ears.
And i hear him curse into my ears now as the shrill bell comes on again and again and we know its somebody from our near and dear ones coming in to get us to the afterparty.
And to my surprise I am actually equally disappointed as him for the break in our moment and I open my eyes to now meet his and as the bell continues ringing over and over we both now burst into laughter.
And he chuckles now as he turns me sideways and rehooks my brasserie and helps me adjust it back over myself and he coos my face and he looks into my eyes intently – " maybe I leave taking my stamps until tomorrow when I whisk you away with me for complete privacy....but I need to kiss your heart as always Sunshine so just a soft kiss...", and I just nod at him dazed and he kisses me softly over my heart and then takes my lips briefly in another deep kiss and the bell continues ringing and I pull back now as I ask now recalling his words – " wait what..where are you taking me tomorrow?"
He chuckles and kisses my forehead- " its your bday princess and now I am going to pamper you in my style...finally...the moments I have been dying for...so just stay tuned into your surprise...Love..we will leave soon after the elders are done with their formal talk.."
And I nod at him dazed and still hyptonised by the affect of whatever that was about to happen in between of us that was going to happen tomorrow and we would have all the privacy in the world then..and he helps me put on his jersey back and he puts on his and we both drink some water now to calm our heaving breathes and he grins at me as we now walk hand in hand to the door – " this has to be Ravi.."
I chuckle as I say – " it could be Zara.too.."
He grins – " its Ravi and Anjali.."
I smile – " how do you know???as in how can you be so sure??"
He chuckles- " because the bell is ringing in the exact annoying manner and rhythm that I used to interrupt their privacy recently in Durban when Anjali and Ravi met after a long time..haha..because Mom was calling us down for dinner..then...well there were still 20 minutes to.dinner actually I was just being mischevious.."
I narrow my eyes at him and I say amused– " ohh you are a mischevious Imp love...and now I know exactly how mischevious..look at the way you teased me tonight in the stands first...on that note Love how did you know I was there...did you see me on the screen in amidst crazy celebrations..?"
He smiles and kisses my forehead- " yes love...ok.now let me open this door and you will see it is Ravi and Anjali.."
I grin – " okkkk Love.."
And he opens the door and I grin at immediately as I see Ravi and Anjali chuckling to each other MISCHEVIOUSLY and Ravi winks at Arnav – " that's me getting back at you for the other day.."
Anjali pulls me by the arm immediately out – " con its 230 am already we gave you guys like 45 minutes instead of 15...come on down now...everyone is asking about you guys..the rest of the team cant wait to meet you Khushi...and we are all getting high tonight...cmon it's a world cup victory and you and bhai finally staring your forever...comeonnnn...."
I look back at Arnav and hes being pulled by the Hand by Ravi too and he closes his room door now and follows us and just as he looks.up and our eyes lock in an Intense eye lock across the corridor and he winks at me MISCHEVIOUSLY that makes me blush furiously and I look ahead and keep walking now next to Anjali.
Ohhh you Magical DUMBLEDORE Youuuu!
.................
An Hour Later – 330 AM
ARNAVS POV
I can't stop grinning now as i walk back into the afterparty after just sending off some of my teammates along with Ravi into their rooms because they were already sloshed beyond repair as in that Cap had to ask me and Ravi to take them to their respective rooms and Ravi grins at me – " goshh it's been Insane with those two..and next in line are Shiv and Kunal..you and me are the only decently still tipsy ones because we decided to never go crazy with alcohol in after parties long ago.."
I grin at him- " totally.."
And just as I walk in Ravi gestures me that he is off to dancing with Anjali again and I see him join Anjali,Khushi Rahul,varun,diya,zara,zain,asher on the dance floor and I was glad that everyone from Khushis near and dear ones were now more relaxed around my presence as in especially rahul and varun I mean I think it was still going to take them time to fully digest the fact that I really was Hoodie Guy and i was kind of glad that they were enjoying themselves dancing in a group where Khushi and me were also dancing minutes ago until I was called on by Cap to take my sloshed teammates upto their rooms and I now see that Shiv and Kunal along with Cap pull Khushi aside from the Group again and I hear Kunal and Shiv tell Cap about the Uber episode which makes him chuckle and Khushi too and now these two mischevious beats are back to teasing Khushi playfully for almost the tenth time about how we all put up a brilliant act in the Uber the other day and Khushi is chuckling now as she's being polite is admitting to them for the tenth time that it was a secret then and that is the only reason why we acted that way!
And I smile to myself as I now wrap my arms around Khushi's shoulder lovingly and I glare at Shiv and Kunal mischeviously – " well it was fun wasnt it? Bloody best uber ride of my life..remember how you said Kunal...ASR..there comes your favourite song..god only know how me and Khushi bit back our laugh and she concentrated on the road after...she obviously has all my favourite playlists in her list too...and I knew exactly which song would have come up as I turned on the music..haha..that's why I asked her to turn it on..it was fun Love..",i finish with a wink at Khushi and that earns me a playful whack on the arm from Khushi as she gapes at me – " you my Love are way beyond a mischevious IMP..I need to look up on another word for you..."
And that makes us all laugh and Cap,Shiv and Kunal congrstulate us once again and I see Kunal and Shiv now dragging Cap to the bar counter again and i chuckle – " these two keep trying but they can't ever get Cap drunk..",and that makes Khushi chuckle and I hold her hand as i ask – " ok right?? You ok no?"
She grins and she now tiptoe up close into me as she whispers in my ears – " never been better...love I think I want to get drunk tonight...let loose a little..I'm just like not even tipsy right now you know since I only had those two light drinks for me..can you get me something stronger love..I just want to let loose tonight.. I am so happy for youuuuu today and for us too and then it's my bday..."
I pull apart as I look at her excited and happy face with her asking me so adorably and I narrow my eyes at her – " you know i can not say no to that look...Fine i will get you something.." ,and she instantly jumps up in excitement and kisses my cheek as she says into my ear – " thank you Hoodie guy..but dont get me a drink here...let's go to the bar together...and drink something together...you know what I think I want tequila shots..maybe around 4...because theres a memory attached to the last I had them that I need to redo with you..."
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SHE MEANS BY THAT IN ITS TRUEST SENSE AND NOT IN THE TWISTED SENSE SHE PRESENTED IT TO Me and I was going to talk to her openly about everything tomorrow once I whisked her away after thr formal talk with the elders because we needed the space and time and privacy for that.
And so for now I just let my eyes give away only the fact to hers that I now understand what she wants to do and I pull her by the hand now with me towards the bar and she follows grinning as she gestures to Zara that we will be back to the dance floor soon and once we reach the bar I sit on a stool and she sits on one excitedly as she tells to the bartender – " four tequila shots...please...hoodie guy will you have two shots with me too please??"
I grin as I admit another thought to her honestly holding onto her hand as i lace my fingers through her hand – " yes I will and that's because I am so happy today to have you in this victory party with me Khushi...you have no idea how long have I waited for this moment too ..to be able to celebrate my victory with you..you know in all those after parties until now if miss you so terribly and I would wonder what it would feel like to have you with me finally in one and to be honest the happiness I am feeling right now is way more than I had ever imagined.."
She clutches on my hand as she whispers – " I know what you mean love..I know what you mean..." and right then the Bartender serves up four shots and she grins and winks at me as we both turn around to the table and she says – " two you and two me and then we take two each more...ok hoodie guy...let's get high ya tonight..I mean finally after all this while...just Imagine....", she finishes inher adorable dramatic tone that I love and I kiss her nose lovingly and wink – " a toast to the beginning of our Forever then.."
She winks at me- " a tequila toast..." and I grin and we now down two shots each together and in rhythm and she now excitedly asks for four more and she looks at me as she says leaning in closer into my ear – " hoodie guy I need to have four and a half tequila shots tonight..because.. the last I had them my heart was loaded with angst after that encounter with Dr Priya that led to us not meeting each other in real time for all these months and today I want to redo that memory with you because my heart is loaded with only love and happiness..."
I kiss her forehead and I Nod at her lovingly and she jumps up in excitement now in her stool in sheer glee and I just watch her overwhelmed with Love – oh I will talk to you tomorrow love about this and then you will have to invent another word for us because the word love surely falls short to explain what we feel for each other surely.
And my chain of overwhelmed emotional thoughts is broken as I see the bartender serves up our drinks and her eyes twinkle back st me in pure mischief as she gestures us to gulp it down and I nod happily and we do so together in the same rhythm and time and then she closes her eyes for a second becusse of the hit she feels and she opens a them a second later as she says – " just half more..ok?.you up for it Hoodie guy?"
I nod at her happily and we both down another half a shot and once we are done I instantly pull her into a hug and I kiss her forehead- " I love you..." and she now pulls back and kisses my cheek and whispers in my ears – " and I love you more...hoodie guy more than you will ever know......"
And I smile now as I pull back and I ask – " really??"
And she nods innocently – " really...ok listen now let's get back to the dance floor I want to dance some more with you before i get really high now and then Zara and Diya will drag me away to sleep.."
And we get off the stool now and she holds my hand and takes me to the floor and just as we are reaching everyone I pull her back close into me and hug her waist from behind and I whisper in her ears – " how about I convince Zara and Diya to let me handle you in your drunken state..."
And she instantly jumps apart and sticks out her tongue at me playfully as she smacks my cheek a second later – " ohh nooo Love...they would never agree they already told me when I walked in that they were going to trouble you this way tonight by not letting me have any more alone time with you...haha..and you know I doze off anyway...so..even though you get more shameless when you are high..yours truly crazy goofy Khushi ends up sleeping..so what's the point..." ,and she finishes that last bit so dramatically that it makes me chuckle and I nod at her lovingly and she holds my hands and takes me to the dance floor and right then a little slower number starts to play and I pull her close for a dance as all the other couples too mostly start to dance slowly and I chuckle as I see Varun and Asher look at all of us couples as in me and Khushi, ravi and Anjali, zain and zara and Rahul and Diya and Cap and his Wife too..some of my other team mates some with their partners too and they give us all an amused look and then walk to the bar to get themselves a drink.
And just as I feel the music get slower...I just wrap my hand around her waist passively and I feel her wrap her hands around my neck lovingly too and she looks into my eyes and our eyes lock in a super intense eye lock and she whispers cupping my face with her right hand – " thank you for loving me the way you do LOVE ..your Love really is my Magic.." and I kiss her hand and then her forehead – " you are my Magic too Love..", and I pull her in closer that she now rests her head over my shoulder as we start to sway to the music slower and I just hold her close and enjoy the warmth of her in my arms totally moved in the happy scenario.
And minutes later of dancing slowly to music silently and us just enjoying the vibe of each others physical presence in each others reality, I feel her tip toe a little and she whispers into my ears – " goshh Arnav.. I think I am getting high now..."
And I chuckle as I cup her face -" are you now??"
And she looks into my eyes as she admits innocently and I can see her eyes are getting heavier – " yes..and so before I forget I want to tell you something ..becuase on my alcohol right now can make me admit this to you...."
And I look at her amusingly puzzled and I ask- " what is it..? I want to know now.. like now.." ,and she now tip toes as she wraps her arms around my neck tightly – " I was surprised to discover today that I was as disappointed as you Love when Ravi rang that bell..."
And I chuckle now as I make her pull back and cup her face- " you know you are in for deep trouble tomorrow..by admitting that to me right now.."
She grins MISCHEVIOUSLY and blushes too furiously at the same time - " I know ..that's why I am telling you no Hoodie guy...", and she buries herself in my arms as she holds my one arm for support and her other arm goes around my neck and her head comes to rest over my heart now – " please just hold me this way for a bit because even though I am high I want to dance with you this way.. "
And I kiss her forehead and I just hold her close into me and continue to dance with her slowly.
Thank you God for this Wonderful Start to Our Forever!
A Forever with Khushi was all I had ever asked of you in prayers for a.long time now and thank you for blessing me with just that!
I know I have said this often a times but I will say it again because it's TRUE.
Somebody please tell me how can I ever thank god for blessing me Khushi?
Can I ever thank him enough??
Nah I dont think so!
I could never thank enough for just like the word Love falls short to explain what we feel for each other – the word Thank You falls short too – as a usage to express the gratitude that I feel towards.Life and God for blessing me with Khushi.
But because right now I dont know what else to say – I will just say what I can say anyway.
Thank You God.
THANK.
YOU...SO VERY MUCHHHH.....

THE.
BOTTOM.
OF MY HEART
AND
SOUL.
