[MEMBERSONLY]

Chapter 5 (Finale) :

"Arnav.. Arn.. ARNAV!! Where are we going?! Arnav, answer me, dammit!!"

Smirking, Arnav still concentrated on the road as he spoke in a 'everything's under control and I know what I'm doing' voice..

"That's my line, dammit!"

Khushi stared at the man sitting beside her.. Wasn't ti just moments back that they'v had this heated discussion?! How the hell is he so composed and cool?! What the hell is he up to??

"Arnav, this is not funny!! And.. Where the hell do you think we are going?"

"I'v been waiting for you since 12 years, Khushi.. Can't you wait for 12 minutes? I'm not kidnapping you, if you are worried.. I don't mind you chattering.. Infact I'm dying to hear you blabber.. But not like this.. Like a typical woman.. I want it to be like my girl.. My butterfly.. Care free, happy and 'I don't care what the world thinks' attitude wali Khushi.."

Arnav saw her still at his words.. She slumped into her seat and looked out of the window..

"You told it Arnav.. Time changes.. Things changed Arnav.. I did too.. I'm no more that 'I dont care what the world thinks' Khushi now.. Coz I don't have a world anymore, Arnav!!"

Arnav halted the car with a loud screech.. He placed his hand on her fore head not to let her hit the dash board.. He saw her looking at him with those wide hazel green eyes.. They were so vulnerable and so filled with pain that the only thing Arnav wanted to do was to kiss her senseless till she forgot everything and surrender completely to his Love.. To their Love.. But no.. He knew his butterfly.. HE cupped her face and wiped away those cascading tears..

"What were you doing a month ago, Khushi?"

Arnav bit his lips not to chuckle at her.. He knew he nailed the coffin.. Here she was crying her soul out and he was asking all outta the world questions.. She did show up her signature 3 perfect 'O's face.. If it were his butterfly, he was sure that by now, a patch of his hair would have been in her hands.. Pecking her swiftly on her open mouth, Arnav moved back and replied in the same soft voice..

"What were you doing at this time on the 3rd of October, Butterfly?"

Caught off-guard from the sudden kiss, Khushi replied in a haze..

"I.. I was in.. In my office.. Waiting for a client, I guess?"

Arnav got down of his SUV and couldn't stop himself from smiling like a 8 year kid whose going to visit his favorite amusement park.. He pulled a completely clueless, shock faced, lost in a fare, adorable and edible Khushi out of the Suv and kissed her hard on her lips..

"This is the 5th of October, Khushi.. That.. Is your office.. A client is going to come to you in a few moments.. Go Butterfly.. Live your life the way you did.. Brace yourself, Khushi.. Life is going to be as colorful as it once had been when we were together.."

He dragged a completely perplexed Khushi into her 'B'sB Interiors'.. Khushi stood awed at the renovations done and the warm surprise.. All her employees were waiting for her giving her a warm welcome.. All this while, Khushi felt her left hand encased in her Arnav's .. She couldn't help being elated.. She couldn't decipher how her life turned out so beautiful in just a single day.. About an hour later, Khushi sat in her cabin staring at the files in front of her.. Life became normal again.. Arnav left her just a 10 minutes back saying that an important meeting turned up.. Her heart screamed asking him, pleading him to stay back.. That she needed him.. But she knew better.. She knew he wouldn't let go of her.. And she wanted to make it easier for both of them..

All her thoughts were put to a halt with the knocks.. No, thuds on her cabin door.. Mumbling an irritated 'Come in' Khushi looked back to the file that lay wide open in front of her.. And then, she felt him.. Snapping her eyes up, she sucked in her breath as she saw Arnav standing before her with Aman.. She heard Aman speak and the moment he did, her world felt alien for her..

"ASR, this is Ms.Gupta.. The CEO of 'B'sB Interiors'.. Ms.Gupta, ASR of AR.. We did take an appointment and hope you have a successful meeting.."

With that Aman walked out as she still stared at the cabin door.. Khushi kept moving her gaze from the cabin door to Arnav to the cabin door to him again.. What in the world is going on?!!!! She then looked to find him staring at her as if he's seen a ghost!!! Even before she could mouth a 'What?', she felt herself being engulfed in his warm and tight hug.. He crushed her to an extent that her bones threatened to break.. He then pulled her out and began to peck all over her face.. What happened? Wasn't it just half an hour back he went away? Why is he behaving as if he met her after some God forbidden years?! Thats it!! Thats when it struck Khushi what was happening around her.. Her heart swell and eyes began to tear up.. Arnav wiped away her tears with all the love he had and spoke with his voice laced with raw emotions.. Emotions of Love, loneliness, pain and wait..

"Where were you, Khushi? 12 years!! 12 damned years?! God!! I'v been searching for you like a mad man, Butterfly.. You told it would be a fortnight at the max.. How come I was supposed to know that a fort night meant 12 years in your dictionary?!"

He was doing it.. Doing all of it again... As she wished.. As if they met a month ago when everything was normal, under control... How can she not love this man?! How can she ever deny him?!! What has she done to deserve him??? Khushi slumped onto Arnav as he held her safe in his arms..

"I Love you, Butterfly.. I love you so very much!!!"

Khushi's heart jumped up and down performing a salsa as he took her for a soul touching kiss.. His lips, tongue and hands were weaving their magic on her.. Her tears mingled with his smile.. His nipping, nibbling, sucking and eating her made her soul go on a heavenly trip.. His tongue mated with hers, dancing to its own beat.. She moaned into him as he intensified the kiss telling her how much went at stake all these years.. He pulled out and pecked her lips before he rested his fore head onto hers.. Hugging her one more time to his soul's wish, he moved away earning a frown from her.. Khushi gasped and shut her mouth with her hands as tears cascaded down her huge hazel green eyes.. In front of her knelt her man, her love, her savior, her Barky..

"Khushi Gupta, You are the only woman who loved me even after knowing and seeing all my flaws in their glory.. You were the one who never left me in my worst times.. You are the one who showed me what life is and how it is meant to be led.. You are the only woman, whose one thought can bring me a smile even if death stood before me.. You saw the Arnav in me.. You made me want to be more better.. You showed me that Arnav is the best.. You made me feel home.. You made me feel warm.. You made me feel lively.. You made me want to live.. Live.. With you.. You made me feel loved and worthy.. You showed me true love.. You made me realize the joy in this life.. You are the only hope and reason I live for.. You proved that even a butterfly like you can fall in love with a Barky like me.. You are my existence, Butterfly.. I want to sleep every night cuddling you into me.. I want to wake up every morning watching your beautiful face and kissing you.. I want to make love to you in every God place for every breathing second of my life.. I want to get us pregnant.. I want to fight with you, bark at you till a point that I end up kissing you senseless and breath less.. I want to watch our children grow.. I want to grow old with you.. I want to be with you for every jiffy of the life I'm given!!! Will you, Khushi Gupta give me the honor of changing your surname to Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada? Will you marry me, Butterfly? I promise.. I promise that not a single moment I'l let you regret.. Not a single tear I'l let you shed.. Not a single pain I'l let you bare.. Not a single complain I'l let you have.. I promise to cherish you Khushi.. Everything of YOU is MINE to cherish and I'm not going to settle for anything less.. Will you?"

Khushi hauled her self onto the man kneeling infront of her.. This time it was she who slammed herself onto him.. Kissing him, she let him know her fears, her insecurities, her gratefulness to him, her love, her turmoil, her everything.. After a satiated prolonged kiss, Khushi murmured onto his lips, both of them still sprawled on the mattress of her cabin..

"How do you manage to make me speechless everytime?"

Arnav tightened his hold on her and pecked her lips.. Pushing aside her hair, he chuckled softly..

"I guess it was you who shut me up a moment ago.."

Khushi blushed hard as she slapped his chest playfully..

"By the way.. Me, making my Butterfly speechless, is indeed a huge complement.. Tum chup kaha rehti ho? Do you talk even in your sleep?"

Khushi smiled playfully as she pecked him on his lips and whispered to his ears..

"Why don't you find out?"

Arnav's eyes darkened immediately and he pulled Khushi to look at her.. Not finding her joked regarding the last few words, he plunged her in for another heart warming kiss.. As he pulled out after a long time, he felt Khushi kissing him on his lips as she mouthed him 'I Love You'.. Arnav instantly tightened his hold and pecked her back..

"Kithni bolti ho? Ek baar jhor se kehne se tumhari kya bigad jathi?"

Khushi placed rested her forehead on his and mumbled to his lips..

"If I were given a chance, I would shout it to the world, Arnav.. But, you are my world.. I Love You.. I Love you so damn much that every breath I take is only after you take.."

Arnav kissed her hard as he let her cry against him.. They went through enough.. More than enough, infact.. He kissed her hard and warm.. Pulling her out, he mumbled against her lips..

"I.. We need to get up, Butterfly.. One more moment if I'l have you on me like this, I promise I'm going to fulfill my promise of making love to you in every God damned place right now.."

And that worked.. Khushi immediately stood up adjusting her Shirt.. She smiled sheepishly as Arnav tugged her to him and kissed her on her cheeks..

"Come.. Lets go.."

Khushi happily obliged and began walking with him when he stopped and smiled at her..

"Wont ask where?"

Khushi raised on her toes and pecked him..

"Should I?"

Hugging her to him, he kissed her fore hear and whispered..

"A try might not harm, I guess.."

Chuckling to his throat, Khushi kissed his Adam's Apple earning a groan from him..

"Where are we going, Arnav?"

Arnav kissed her temple and spoke in a husk..

"To get married!!"

"WHAT?!"

Arnav pulled a complete signature 'O'ed Khushi into him not before kissing her open mouth..

"Yup.. Di, Lavanya and Aakash are waiting.. Aman will be taking us.. You always wanted a church marriage, right? So, lets get it done.. Your frock's ready.. The same long, white, huge frock you always wanted.. All that is left is to get you dressed up and the selection of our rings.."

Khushi couldn't believe what's going on.. She smiled through her tears and nodded at him a bit too fast..

"And.. Payal is present too.. Buaji's going to watch live.. I'v made arrangements with the Doc.."

That was it!! How much more will he do for her?! Khushi, with all her might and Love devoured her soon to be husband.. Arnav happily obliged her demand untill Aman called him on his mobile reminding him, in fact barking at him..

"ASR!! You better buckle yourself up and come out of that damned cabin right now!!! You dint let me sleep with my fiance yesterday and made me run like a madman the whole night for the frock, the cake and every single damned thing including your first-night necessities!!! One more minute in there and I'l literally jump off this building!! You'l be the first mad couple to go into records for having attended their own wedding late just because they ended up making love when they were supposed to get ready!!!! Come out right now!!!!!"

After a very silent 10 minute ride in his car, with Aman puffing smoke from his nose and ears and Khushi trying so hard to stop blushing and laughing, Arnav pecked her secretly, not letting Aman notice and whispered in her ears..

"By the way, I want a Princess first.. The next ones will be whatever you want.. How many ever you want, I don't mind.. Your husband is highly capable, for your information.."

Arnav laughed out loud as he saw Khushi making up her signature face again.. He earned a tight slap from Khushi, on his chest, of course and a very very threatening glare from Aman.. He felt Khushi peck his cheek and cuddle more into him..

"Agreed.. On one condition.."

Arnav pecked her hair and whispered..

"Anything except restrictions on how, when, where and why I make love to you.."

Khushi nudged him in his side with her elbow..

"Arnav, I'm serious!! Kithna besharam ho!!!"

Arnav kissed her hard on her lips not caring the glare Aman threw at him..

"Pata hain.. And who told that I was kidding? I'm serious too.. Acha, tell.. What's your condition?"

Cuddling more into him, Khushi whispered..

"I'l name our Princess.."

Arnav pecked her hair and whispered..

"Which means you already have one in mind.. What is it?"

Khushi turned to him completely and spoke to his lips..

"Renie - a new birth.. For me, for her, for us, for everything.."

Arnav dint know when his eyes misted.. He pulled Khushi onto his lap and plunged his mouth into hers and devoured her.. This time Aman din't dare to look at the couple.. From what he had been seeing since the past 2 days, he would be shocked if his boss wouldn't end up celebrating his first night even before he stepped onto the Aisle of his own marriage.. Arnav and Khushi were having their own way of communicating.. Loving, promising and reliving their memories as they were sped to the Church where they were going to be united as one forever and beyond...
