Part 13.3

Slightly Mature

"Arnav ji?!"

"Arnav ji?!!" After looking for him in the bathroom, Khushi entered the balcony. But he wasn't there too.

"Arnav ji?!" Khushi again entered their room, not finding him even in the balcony. Again searching the room and not finding him there, Khushi started downstairs.

"Arnav ji!!" A sudden cry left her mouth as everything around her engulfed in darkness. She anxiously looked around. " Arnav ji!" gathering some courage, she descended the remaining stairs and moved towards the hall, only to be shocked by the sight in front of her.

The place was basking in the amber light of hundred of beautiful candles. Khushi's lips adorned a beautiful smile and the fear left her in a hush. She turned around, taking in the beautiful ethereal sight around her.

A loud gasp left her mouth as she felt a hand snake around her waist.

"You like it?" a hoarse voice whispered against her ear and made her shudder.

"Arnav ji?" Khushi looked at him.

"Who else? Of-course me." tucking the loose strand behind her ear, he kissed her milky cheek.

"You did this for me?" Khushi smiled and looked around.

Arnav pulled her in his arms and nodded his head.

"I had told you. I want to make this day special. Don't you like it?"

"I love it. Par sirf itna hi?" Khushi pouted.

"What more do you want? I have told you, Khushi. You can ask me anything. I will give you everything?"

Khushi smiled and rested her head on his chest.

"I want to dance with you. Will you dance with me?" Khushi looked up at him, her head still resting on his chest.

Arnav kissed her forehead and dislodging himself from her, he walked towards the music system.

"Now we can dance." Arnav again took her in his arms.

Khushi again rested her head against his chest and gave herself to him, moving as he moved.

'Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars

I'm gonna give you my heart

'Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars

'Cause you light up the path

"What is he singing Arnav ji? I can't understand anything.." Khushi complained softly.

Arnav tightened his hold on her and smiled at her.

"Do you want me to explain it to you?" Arnav asked and felt Khushi nod her head against his chest. And so he began.

"You are my sky. A sky full of stars, my whole world. I will give you my heart. Because you are my star, you light up my world. Then why shouldn't I trust you with my heart."

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do

'Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars

I think I saw you

"I will give you my heart. And I don't care what you do with it, because now it's yours. Do whatever you want, tear apart or keep it safe. I don't care. " Arnav lifted her face to look at him. "Because now it's not mine. Now it belongs to you. You are the only thing I see, feel, want, need. You are my star, who lights up my world. Without you it will turn the way it was before, barren, dark, lonely, scary."

'Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars

I want to die in your arms, arms

'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark

I'm going to give you my heart

And I don't care, go on and tear me apart

And I don't care if you do

'Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars

I think I see you

I think I see you

"You are the only one that matters. You are the one which illuminates with hope when everything around me turns dark and threatens to engulf me. You are the light who shows me a way out from the darkest tunnel. My only strength, my only inspiration, my only reason to live now. And if there's any almighty above, looking down at us, then my only wish to Him is, to die in your arms. Nothing else, Khushi. " With his eyes brimming with unshed tears , he dipped his head down to rest his lips against hers... and feel alive.

Because you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars

Such a heavenly view

You're such a heavenly view.

Arnav lifted his face and looked down at her flustered face. Her lips swollen and chest heaving in the need of some air.

"You are beautiful, Khushi." Arnav rested his head against hers. "I love you.." he whispered against her lips. "You will never leave me, right Khushi? I will die without you. I promise to never misunderstand you ever again. I really love you, Khushi. I don't know how I was living without you, but now it's impossible. You will never go back, right? You will never say that I am not your Arnav ji. You will never say that you don't need me. Tell me, Khushi...you will never go back" Arnav rested his head on her right shoulder.

A stone settled in her throat and eyes glistened with tears. She lifted her hand and rested her palm against his cheek.

"Never. I will never say that. I love you. You are my Arnav ji. Only you..." Khushi rested her head on his. "I love you. And will never leave you.."

Arnav swallowed hard and stood still, allowing her words to soak inside, to feel it, to live it.

"You know what, Khushi? I never liked when you use to talk and laugh with NK. Never." Arnav ran his palms on her slender arms, his palm caressing her soft skin.

"W..h..y...why?" Khushi splintered, her eyes dropping close as the familiar sensation overwhelmed her, the same sensation only this man was capable of awaking.

"Why? Because ... because everyone thought you both are perfect...made for each other... That was not true ..." Arnav kissed her neck, his lips lingering on her skin. " You never gave that secret look to NK, the look which was reserved for me. You never stammer when he is close to you. Your eyes never searched for him, the way those eyes search for me. Then how can they say you both are made for each other?" catching the end of dupatta, he took it off her neck. "I hate him for the way he use to admire you, they way he use to cling to you, as if ... as if ...as if he has that right. No, he doesn't. You are mine. Only mine.." he dropped kisses on her neck.

Khushi's fingers drifted in his thick hair and she lifted her face, giving him easy access to her neck.

"I love you, Khushi... will you...will you..." Arnav lifted his face off her neck and looked at her through his drugged eyes. "Will you allow me to make love to you, Khushi?"

Khushi's wide eyes lifted to look at him, shocked at his blatant question.

Arnav cupped her face.

"Khushi, you trust me, don't you?" Arnav asked, his voice soft, almost pleading.

Khushi stared at him. She trusts him? He loves her. He had promise to never leave her. He had promised to never mistrust her. But...what if he forgets his promise? What is he again becomes the Arnav ji who hated her?

Khushi stared in his eyes, glowing with only love. Love for her. He loves her. He will never leave her. She always wanted to see this love in his eyes. And now...now it's there. And she wants to capture this moment, this love. She can trust him. She trusts him.

Khushi lifted her slightly trembling hand and cupped his face. Standing on her toes, she stood to his level and pecked his lips.

"I...I trust you, Arnav ji" she kissed his cheek.

Arnav caught her arms and stopped her as she was about to plant a kiss on his other cheek. He looked at her through his smoky eyes. Bending little, he scooped her in his arms.

"And I will never break your trust." Arnav promised and started towards their room.

"And you will always love me." Khushi circled her arms around his neck.

"Will always love you.." Arnav repeated pecking her lips.

"Will never leave me."

"Will never leave you." Arnav repeated again like a pledge.

"And will always buy me jalebi..."

Arnav laid her on the bed and bent over her.

"Will always buy you jalebis. Or better, I will buy a sweet shop for you.."

Khushi giggled but it was short lived as she saw him removing his T-shirt in one swift movement.

Arnav smiled as he saw her staring at him. He got on the bed and rested his hands on both sides of her. "What happened? Why did you stop laughing? I love the sound of your giggle. It stirs something inside my chest and forces me to smile with you." Arnav lowered his mouth on hers, their harsh breathe mingling together.

Khushi's heart thudded violently against her chest as he left trail of kisses from her cheek to her forehead.

"You will never leave me, right?" Khushi whispered. Her heart battling between fear and the sensation running through her.

"Never, Khushi. Believe me. Allow me to love you, without any fear. I will never leave you. Never!" Arnav rasped, his hand reaching behind her to unzip her cloth. He lowered his lips on her, wanting to take away her every fear.

"Khushi, open your eyes please..."

His voice was so soft and dripping with need that she found herself immediately acting on his words

Arnav smiled softly and cupped her face, his face just an inch away.

"I will stop if you want to. Do you want me to stop, Khushi?" Arnav asked.

Khushi looked at him, she was in daze. Only believing in this moment. And she gave in the moment, ... to live if forever.

Arnav left the breath he didn't know he was holding and again captured her lips. He moved his mouth on her, making love to her mouth, sealing the new journey of their life. His hands got busy in shredding all the barrier between them. He dropped kisses on her eyes, nose, cheeks and moved to her neck.

Khushi shuddered, embracing the sensation. Her hands caressed his back, burning against her hand. Khushi moaned softly, her body burning with need, a need too foreign to her.

"Khushi..?" Arnav lifted his face to see her breathing violently and her eyes closed.

"Khushi, are you ready?" Arnav cleared the strands from her face.

Khushi nodded, her eyes still closed.

Arnav kissed her forehead and placed his lips on hers. And as he felt Khushi's hold tighten on him, he broke the barrier between them and started the age old dance of mating. He didn't moved his lips from her, swallowing every whimper, every moan of her.

Thousand stars burst behind her closed eyelids and her nails dig hard into his shoulder. And she soon felt him falling on her. Khushi embraced him, his weight giving a heavenly peace

Arnav opened his eyes and heard her soft snoring close to his ear. He lifted himself little to see the most beautiful sigh he had ever beheld. He shifted himself off her and stared at her, a thoroughly loved woman, the most beautiful woman, his wife. A mixture of love, possessiveness, admiration, respect burst inside his chest for the woman in front of her. He laid on the bed, taking her with him.

"Never, Khushi. After this I can never leave you. I love you, love..." pulling the blanket over them, he closed his eyes, hugging her close to him.

I hope it was OK OK. I really suck in this kind of stuffs, so I am really sorry if it was not up to your expectations.

Do let me know :)
