Chapter 42

"You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there's not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days."

Khushi walked in a daze towards the campsite, utterly confused as to what she was even thinking, and that too about whom, the last guy she would expect to take in that stature. No, she shook her head, no this cannot this is impossible, Haye Devi Maiyan, now what is happening to me? She took a step forward and almost tripped, but she felt him holding her firmly by her shoulder, smiling at her joyfully that small lopsided smile of his, her face now clouded with intense surprise.

"Raizada? What are you doing here, I thought you were at the camp." She said smiling back at him, her question more of a way to keep up conversation then a query, getting lost in his molten bronze eyes, when once again she felt herself being shaken badly, and that is when she saw instead of Arnav it was Vivek who was holding her by her shoulder, his face holding the biggest question mark ever.

*******************************************

She looked up at the yellow parachute tent the top of it almost bumping into her head when she made a sitting position, for the first time making her realize how cramped up the place was. The yellow walls of the tent seemed to haunt her just now, only to think minutes earlier she had been partying that people had left her alone. Burying her face in the pillow lying on her front, her back up she closed her eyes in a feeble attempt to go to sleep, but only 10 minutes later she had already changed position turning around, and rubbing her eyes, reverting back to another memory. The early afternoon sun was penetrating through the translucent walls of the tent having the tent shine in an inhumanly manner, making her feel like she was captivated in a yellow castle of some sort. She remembered earlier in the week opening her eyes into his room, after what she remembered was a blissful sleep on his shoulders.

"Well then, the best way to do that is, close your eyes tight, and go to sleep. Right now. Right here." He said in a calm manner, as she briefly met his eyes, and contentedly nodded at him keeping her head back on his shoulder, closing her eyes shut she dozed off to sleep.

*****************

"Let me on the ground Raizada, you can't carry me off like this!" She struggled in his arm causing him to tighten his grip more on her waist, as he met his eyes angrily, full of annoyment for her childish actions. Khushi gazed into them with a fiery look her self, trying to make him realize that this time they were not alone he couldn't put up such a public act in front of everyone, as if things between them were not very complicated already.

Hua jo dard bhi kabhi toh aaj kuch zyada hua
The pain today which I suffered was more than usual pain

Ishq wala love
Love that is like real love

"Don't act like I am carrying you for the first time. We both know this had happened before" he replied back to her in a straight face as she stared blankly with at his face, surprised at his audacity to commit to things without even flinching for a second.

************************************

"Why can't you two just get along?" Karan poked his elbow into her side to get her attention and she in turn stopped eating her food making an awful face.

"That's your best friends at fault. He doesn't seem to have any gradient in his nature" she retorted, returning back to enjoying her food, which was after a few minutes done with and she got up to get her serving of the dessert that part being her favorite, when he held her hand back and stood up himself, Karan looking interestingly at the two of them.

**************************************

Removing his one hand from her waist, he let her weight shift back to the ground, taking care that their noses were still touching with each other, and extended a finger towards her chin pulling it up to look at her windows to the world, who seemed to be portraying complex emotions of happiness and grief intertwined together. Catching the lone tear that was rolling down her face on his finger tip, he showed it to her and captivating her attention thoroughly, she saw him eyeing the tear with care and placed it outwards pointing it towards the stars above which were shining bright. It was the direction, and his action that made her realize how beautiful it was, as he let out a gust of air from his mouth and blew the the tear towards the stars, looking above at the stars with her following his sight, most magically then star he had blown the tear towards now shining brighter.

From the look on his face, she could tell he had achieved what he had wanted, and after all how could he not; he was Arnav Singh Raizada after all, her Arnav Singh Raizada. She moved one of her hand away from his neck and lifted up her fingers towards his still extended finger, and wound her finger around it catching his attention, being gifted with small graceful smile from him.

******************************

"And, did I tell you, that I noticed Arnav staring at you, when I came in, you flattered him with your looks didn't you Chun?"

"Subha Hone Na Dein, Saath Khone Na Dein

Aik Doosrein Ko Hum Sonnein Na Dein"

"Main Tera Hero, Haan Hero, Main Tera Hero"

"Different? What's different? It's the same him, the same you, then what changed?"

"His best friend! Who are you?"

"Rai..zada .. Gu..pta .. It is Rai..*cough* zada for you"

"You are not *cough* going anywhere, Who knows another *sneeze* slimy fellow will bump in you (rubbing his red nose) offer you something, and you'll get into *cough* trouble again"

"What? I can make sandwiches. Go freshen up in Di's room, I'll have something by then"

"She is coming at my place"
