OS 2: Finding Khushi
Part 17
Sec 2
It was the day of Akash & Payal's haldi.
"O Titliyaa!", Buaji called. "Take this set of clothes to Arnav Babua's house and give it to Akash Bitwaa."
"Uughh..?", asked Khushi, not very bright in the morning, having been woken up at an ungodly hour by her Buaji's soothing voice & dulcet tone as she screamed orders at the boys who had come to decorate the house.
Buaji sighed. "Sanka Devi! Akash Bitwaa has to wear this for his haldi. Go & give it to him."
Khushi nodded slowly.
"Or do you want him to do haldi without clothes because you are too lazy to go there on time, Hai Re Nandkisore?", Buaji teased.
"I will go. I will go.."Khushi jumped out of bed as Payal giggled, hiding her laugh behind her fingers.
Khushi stood at the door to RM, feeling her heart work overtime. Why did she feel feverish whenever she thought about Arnavji? Was love a disease? A contagious one? Then flu was better!
She clutched the packet of clothes closer to her chest, the memory of his kiss making her lips tremble and her hands sweat.
Maybe she wouldn't see him, she comforted herself... Maybe he would be working... She peeked into the house, taking care not to attract attention.
"Khushiji, aap? Why are you standing outside? Shall I call Arnav Bhaiyya?", Hari Prakash's cheerful face came into focus.
"NO!", Khushi almost yelled. "Don't call him. I mean, Hari Prakashji, don't call anyone...", she smiled bravely. "Why should you disturb anyone? Just give this packet to Akash Jiju. It is his clothes for haldi."
If he came before her... What could she do? The way in which he had touched her face with the rose, and then...
She blushed.
"Ji.", said Hari Prakash reluctantly. He didn't think Arnav Bhaiyya would be too pleased to have missed Khushiji's lightning visit. "Are you sure you won't come in?"
"Ji. I have work at home. I am very busy...", she paused. "...very busy applying haldi on Jiji...", she concluded weakly.
How could she look at him after his kiss?
"Ji." Hari Prakash took the packet from her, and turned to leave. Khushi turned and almost ran away, trying to miss her nemesis.
"Khushiji...", came the dreaded call.
Nanheji was smiling at her.
"Nanheji! How..how are you?", she asked.
"I am great, bilkul tandoori.", NK flexed his muscles.
"Tandurust (healthy), Nanheji!", Anjali corrected as she, Nani, & Mami came to join him.
Arnav was standing behind them, watching Khushi, a smile on his sinful lips.
All laughed.
"Ji.. I .. I... I came with Jiju's clothes for haldi...", Khushi stammered the explanation for being there.
"Why didn't you come in?", Anjali asked, hugging her.
"Why did you stop at the door, Khussi Bitiyaa?", asked Nani.
"Andar aao... Belcome, belcome!", said Mami.
"Ji.. I have work at home.. Buaji.. Amma.. Jiji...", Khushi tried to leave.
"Come in.. atleast for a moment!", Anjali said, and holding Khushi's arm, towed her into the house.
She looked at Arnav watching them & said with a smirk, "Chotey, see who has come to see us!"
"Khushi", he murmured, walking towards her slowly, smirking his famous smirk.
Khushi looked away.
"Have you come to play haldi with us?", he asked, his voice all seduction.
Di, Mami, Nani, & NK watched the lovebirds with close attention, finding Arnav the lover very hard to digest.
Khushi could not find her voice to reply.
He did not wait for one. Arnav walked up to her and hugged her tight.
The family watched the long hug with open mouths.
NK whispered, "Di, I have to take notes. How to patao a lakdi in a few steps!"
Khushi tried to struggle out of his arms, but they were firm around her, and she was pressed against him as close as close could be.
"Arnavji, chodiye hamein!", Khushi whispered.
"You didn't tell me if you liked it?", he whispered, his naughty murmur sending a tingle down her spine.
"Arnavji!"
"Khushi!" He pulled her closer still.
"All are watching us.", she said, frantic.
"Let them. Give me my answer." He caressed her waist.
Khushi jerked.
"Yes. Yes...", she muttered.
"Yes, what?", he asked, a laugh in his husky voice.
"I... I l..liked it..", she whispered, trying to push him away.
Arnav chuckled. She could feel the rise & fall of his chest against hers.
"Good. You can have many more of them.", he promised in her ear.
