AFter khushi and garima went in the kitchen...Arnav stood in her room looking the the paintings she made!
All of them were wonderfull..of nature...some of love roamntic ...he smiled at that!
He went into the balcony and kept his hand on the railing and enjoyed the garden in front of the apartment where the children were playing with each other!
________
Arnav sat on the didning table with the guptas..shashi gupta was sitting at the head of the table arnav was sitting near him on his right while garima and khushi
were serving the food!
After that they all started to eat together ...Khushi was sitting opposite to arnav making it easy for him to see her for the reason only god knows!
Arnav was having dark chocolate cake for dessert and he was awestruck!
It was so damn delicious...he thought!
He said "Aunty this cake is super duper delicious ...I want it to take it with me at home an eat it all day! WOw! I Feel like kissing your hand!"
Khushi who was blushing uptil now listening his comments for the cake now coughed badly listening his last words!
'Arnav...Kissing...hand...cake...oh no...'
"OH YES!! Aunty please will you make it for me so that I can take it home with me!" Arnav said!
Garima smiled and said "Arnav! This cake khushi has made... sweets are ehr favourite! And yes she will make it for you wont you khushi?"
All three pairs of eyes turned to her for an answer!
Khushi felt arnav's gaze on her hands and immediately she kept her hands under the table clasping them nervous making arnav more and more amused by each action
of hers!
Embarrassed she said "Of..OF course!"
'Khushi Kumari Gupta made this cake...Interesting!' Arnav thought!
'I wish I could do the delight to kiss her hands!' he added after a while!
______
After dinner arnav gave some gifts from london to teh family as a token of love and he left in the evening!
As soon as he left ...the door bell again rang!
Annoyed khushi went again to the door and opened it..
She raised her eyebrows at arnav seieng him again with a gap of less then a minute!
"UHHH I forgot something really important!" He said batting his eyelashes innocently!
"what is-" she could not even complete her question when he came closer and pecked her cheek lightly.
Her mind got numbed and she stood over there in the same place statued!
Arnav looked at her reaction and flicked her nose and said "See you later 'nakchadi'!"
Khushi stood there as she remembered her childhood with him..
***FLASHBACK
Khushi was sitting on the marble steps from the ground floor of her building...
Her palms on the either sides of her face with her elbows on her lap...
She was sad...very sad as her school mat teased her of being stupid! In every situation..she becomes clumsy..messy..and lots more!
Result..she always gets scolding and some teasing from her class mates!
She was in 3rd grade while arnav was in 8th grade!
And there was arnav...coming towards her building when he saw her...
Concerned...he went towards her and sat beside her in the same position as hers and asked cutely " WHo has troubled my princess now? tell me I willbreak their necks!"
SHe was about to smile at his comment but again became serious...
"ALl of them in my school tease me...I always help them and care for them..and when I become clumsy ..they just starts laughing at me and saying things whihc I didnt even
Think that existed before..always they...they just-" she was about to start crying when arnav turn towards her and cupped her face..
"Khushi...let them say whatever they want..whatever they will say isnt the truth..is it? and as for you are concerned...you are the ebstest ever girl I have ever met"
He then side hugged ehr and said "You are different...different from all those people..from all those girls...you have a heart of gold..so beautiful..so inncoent
so full of life,So full of mischief!!"
He smiled and continued "I may be some or the other guy to the world...but for you..specifically I am your arnav...You are special to me! Very Very special..."
HE then inched forwards and kissed her cheeks and then her forehead and hugged her with his hand on her head patting her lightly!
FLASHBACK ENDS*******
Still Dazed she closed the door after a good five minutes and went to her room dazed!
______
It was evening time and lavanya and payal has come to her room for a "MISSION"
Lavanya "Oh please yaar! come na! seriously khushi! you are such a bore!Red Fm dj's will be there! please come!
payal "ya right! its not like we are going everyday and spoiling our sanity! its just one night yaar!
"Ok ok fine I am coming okk!But only for tonight!" Khushi said fiving up.
"Yayyy!" they both exclaimed!
____________
"Show me your Ids please!" The stupid bodyguard in front of the disco wher ethe dj's were supposed to come blocking them making them concious of their teenage!
"Dont you know who I am?" Lavanya exclaimed trying to be as sophisticated as she can so that the bodygaurd presume them to be above 18!
"Sorry I couldnt let you in!" he said again with his stony voice!
_____________
Arnav offered his hand to the lady in front of him and she accepted it as they moved towards the disco where they were about to enjoy for the night!
Who would miss the exclusive famous dj's famous worldwide!
And therefore as a result the girl behind him got a chance to go with him!
Well that was just not anygirl but a girl who was totally sophisticated ..leather dress...animal print heels and scarfs with exquisite jewels!
PERFECT...just perfect for a show off!
Keeping his hand on her waist they both went near the gates of the disco!
_______________________
"WHat the hell yaar! DOnt tell me that we have got ready for nothing! It took me 3 hours to get this style! LITERALLY 3 HOURS!HMMPHH!"
Lavanya exclaimed throwing daggers at the bodyguard for not letting them in!
Khushi and payal looked tired as they too took the effort to get ready and come here instead of wearing stupid pj's and watchng their favourite romantic show!
And therefore sacrificing their romantic dose of the day with this mess!!!!
THEY WERE HELL ANNOYED!
"Shall we try sneaking in??" Payal asked.
Khushi kept her hands on her hips and said narrowing her eyes "Crazy oh what?sneak in? want to spent some days within the bars or what?"
TO their unnotic...arnav who was entering the disco saw khushi and her friends...ANd added misery..HE HEARD THE WORDS OF SNEAKING IN!
Narrowing his eyes and with loads of 'daddy-ready-to-scold-his-spoilt-daughter' look..
He stood exactly behind them looking at them specially khushi who was complaining about not being able to see the show..neither her romantic dose serial!
He patted khushi's shoulder from behind and she turned to him..
SHOCKED..would be an understatement...
She widened her eyes and muttered "ARNAV!"
While lavanya also joined her expression and muttered "Shall I do the bookings for three people in the graveyard?"
Payal..the only one left muttered "I will get to listen 101 old stories of how and why not-to break the rules"
Arnav further inched forwards as if ready to punce on them and asked "Khushi...have you took permission from your parents and then came here?"
Khushi said nervously "WHa...WHat..per..permissiom...I am not a kid anymore!"
Arnav thinned his lips and said "Oh really! Last time I saw you you were eating a pinky candy floss that too in junior college!"
Khushi "WHat ...who said that to you?"
Arnav "Ohh I just looked into your behavioural psychology girl!"
Khushi hmphh-ed...but remained silent as she was scared if this news will go to her parents!
Arnav took hem to his car while the lady with him asked "what the hell am I supposed to do??"
Arnav "GO in and find someone else!" he rolled his eyes and sat on the driver seat with khushi beside him and the two dead-panned friends at the back!
'seriously..that chick thought I would leave any girl for her...I can leave any girl...but not khushi!"
With that he drived the car all the way scolding them of hiding things from him!
______________________________
Next day,
All of them with arnav's and khushi's family gathered at arnav's opened terrace of his mansion..on which on the second floor of the terrace
was anotehr garden terrace which was connected to his room..
ALl of them had a great time having breakfast with each other and then talking about other things...
When they all stood up and went towards the door...
Khushi who was nervous all the time looking at arnav ..predicting that he will tell or will he keep quite saving her from further scoldings..
He just stood there in a corner with a smirk and sometimes commented on something that hinted towards her and the last night's already spoiled plan!
After they all went towards the door khushi stood up nervously and follwed then at the last while arnav caught hold of her hand and said "WHats upp 'raat ki rani'??"
Khushi narrowed her eyes at him!
"Ohh dont look at me like that my shweeetu baby!Dont spoil your cute face!"
She thinned her lips for a couple of seconds and then looked at the opposite direction away from him!
WHile he found it cute and then he messed up her straight hair which was hung loose by her shoulder ...
"Dont do that ARNAV!" she said in an annoyinly cute voice!
HE laughed and kissed her forehead while they walked down to the mansion sidehugging each other!

EPISODE#6 - That sticky clinging walking thing
It was just another day with khushi, lavanya and payal sitting in the balcony of khushi's house doing some project together.
"It is so boring especially this project! why just the professors dotn let us breathe?" lavanya complained dramaticly.
"If you will concentrate then you will find it very interesting" said khushi smiling at their friends who are always not interested in studies or doing projects!
She continued "So we are here on this page-" she cant even complete her words when payal said excitedly..actually she shoued mmaking khsuhi's and lavanya's ears burst!
"Oh loookkk...arnav is there down in his new car"
"what? really? " asked lavanya which joined payal at the end of the balcony.
Khushi also follwed them excitedly and saw him getting down from his sports car.
"he is so freaking hot" said lavanya making khsuhi's eyes turn towards her.
khushi shook her head and again concentarted on arnav her smile back at its place when it faded again seeing arnav helping a girl of his age getting out from the passenger seat beside him.
JEALOUSY!!!!
With capital 'J' 'E' 'A' 'L' 'O' 'U' 'S' 'Y'
And it knew no bounds.
Khushi opened her mouth wide at his audacity to take a girl and roam here and there.
She banged her foot at the railings and went inside while lavanya and payal got suprised with its noise.
Lavanya smirked and said "JEA"
Payal continued "LOU"
They together said "SY" And they started laughing and followed an angry khushi knwoing very well that the show is about to begin.
Payal and lavanya sat on the couch in the living room as they wanted to give the unknown love birds some time to have some spice..till then they will wait for the climax.
Arnav rang the bell of khushi's house and smiled at the girl beside him.
khushi came running from her room and opened the door ...
She thought she would scold a arnav who will be alone dropping the sticky girl somewhere but no!
SHe was here ..here with him..hands in hands looking at her with eyebrows raised.
She folded her hands and said "yes? any problem?"
Arnav chuckled and came in with a cute face saying "Uff! I cant tell you the list..it goes on and on..hayyeee! I am gone. I have so many problems"
Khushi thought 'yeah right it seems fitting.I mean just look at her clothes damn! and her..uff she looks so sophisticating..and khushi knew that arnav might have spend time with this girl for the whole day and there goes his wallet down the drain.'
Arnav put his head on khsuhi's shoulder and said "uff khushi wont you help me?"
She moved aside her hands still folded and asked "What is it?"
"Actually simantha dropped coffee on her dress when we were at the cafe near your house..and if we would have gone to my or her's house teh coffe would do its magic and her dress will be spoiled forever.so i kind of..actually she need to use your washroom"
'Seriously? arnav came here beacuse of HER? who the hell is she? my childhood chuddy-buddy friend? or my lost sister? why am I suppose to help her?'
Arnav didnt even wait for her reply and took simantha with him and went to the washroom which was near to the living room.
Khushi looked at him open mouthed before she banged the opened main door of the apartment making the people in the house as well as the neighbours shriek from the noise and went to her room follwed by another bang of the door.
Garima came of of the kitchen listening to the noise and asked payal and lavanya who were cotrolling their laugh "Whats that noise"
Lavanya replied "Nothing aunty. I guess the gupta's apartment doors have a bad faith today!"
______________
Khushi started pacing in her room from one end to the other thinking of some way or the other to deal with the sticky girlfriend of arnav's!
'I have to do something, I cant see him with some other girl ...HE IS MINE!!!'
Khushi went outside after some time thinking that simantha would have been gone by now.
But as soon as she entered the dining area for lunch she saw simantha feeding arnav a piece of cake which SHE HAS MADE and that stupid sticky woman is making arnav eat that.
She looked at them open mouthed but came out of her shock soon as garima called her to have lunch.
She sat exactly opposite to arnav giving him tough looks that could kill anybody and everybody.
Simantha " Oh aunty wow its so delicious"
Arnav "I hope you would make it for me someday"
Simantha "Oh puhllleeezzz, dont expect me to do all this kitchen work. It doesnt suits me"
Arnav sighed and khushi jumped in "Dont worry arnav I will make everything for you especially the chocolate cake you liked!"
Arnav "haha! see simantha learn something for her...khushi what would I have done without you?"
Khushi half smiled but her smile faded when she saw simantha keeping her hand on his lap.
'Like seriously? doest she know some manners. what would mummy think if she saw this and he didnt even cared for what would i think'
Not able to take any more torture khushi pushed her seat behind noisily and went in her room taking each step with uttermost anger.
Lavanya whispered to arnav "should we arrange a funeral of yours"
Payal joined "Ya we know you wouldnt come out of her room alive"
Arnav gulped and thought 'Now you are gone arnav, go and butter your princess before she makes the world upside down for you'

EPISODE#07 - Ouch that hurts!
Khushi huffed and puffed and paced in her room.
Arnav knocked the door and waited while khushi knew that it would be him so went near the bookshelf and started pretending as if she was busy.
Arnav peeped in slowly as if he was entering some haunted horror house.
Few strands of his hair came on his forehead as he looked in the room to search for her.
His eyes showed curiosity and a little bit of fear but they were determined as if on some mission.
Khushi was once again lost in his features but contineud her pretence as he spotted her near the bookshelf.
Arnav came in with hands in his pocket slowly towards her.
Khushi maintained a straight face and continued pretending while arnav kept one of his hand on her shoulder and said "khsuhi"
Khushi moved one step aside her face straight showing pure anger.
Arnav "khushi why are you so-"
Khushi "Why the hell are you here? did I call you? No na, then go to your that stupid sticky frog who hops around you with no apparant reason at all"
Arnav "Khushi oh come dont talk like-"
Khushi pushed his hands aside angrily that were taking her into a hug
"Ouch that hurts"
Khushi ignored that.
"Who are you to tell me what I should talk and what not? Go and show your domination on that frog of a human"
Arnav pointed his finger on her "Khsuhi you are crossing the lines now!"
"WHy did it hurt? Tell me raizada did it hurt?"
"Khushi I dont know why the hell are you behaving this way but atleast listen to me-"
"Why should listen to you when you didnt even talk to me for days and now coming to my home with a walking frog and you want me to behave all happy?"
"KHUSHI!! I dont know whats going on in your mind, why are you so angry anyways-?"
"OOHH!!! now you are dodging my questions right? You knwo what just dont come here, just get out of my room why are you here, what am I to you?"
"Khushi , Stop..just stop all this!"
Khushi pushed him on his chest "why should I stop? WHy should I? why cant you stop doing all that?"
"What that khushi...just tell me clearly"
She pushed her again on his chest " JUST GET OUT OF HERE"

LAvanya and payal wer ein the living room and singing "Hum tum ek kamre mein band ho!"
Payal continued "Aur chaabi kho jaye"
Lavanya muttered "Oh this is so not arnav khushi thing"
Payal "then what shall be that descirbes this situation too"
Lavanya thought for a second and then said "Arnav khuhsi ek kamre mein band hai, aur temperature garam hai"
"Wow" Payal said. "This is perfect for now" she continued.
Lavanya and payal heard khushi's GET OUT OF HERE as they were almost near khushi's room and they knew that khushi's anger knew no bounds today.
"UHH OHHH!!!!" Lavanya said.
They both put their ears on the door to listen what they were saying and with a thud arnav staggerred back at the door with a thud that shook lavanya and payal at the other side.
"Oh no...we should go in" payal said and lavanya nodded.
Lavanya and payal entered her room and tried to free khushi's paws from arnav as she was about to pounce on his like a cat and arnav would have been left with three lines pf scratches everywhere on his beautiful face!
Arnav said "Uff yaar I am fed up of you khushi what the hell do you think you are?"
Khushi pushed lavanya aside and again pushed arnav and shouted back "Me? what you think of me? What you did was nothing?"
Lavanya again came in between them and now she was sandwhiched between there warriors.
"Just stop it guys" lavanaya shouted.
Arnav said "Why are you telling me tell thsi piece of princess who thinks this world moves around her"
"What did you say? You are still here, didnt you heard me.. OUT NOW!!"
Arnav was about to reply when lavanya and payal both pushed arnav outside with them and khushi closed the door angrily 'again' with a bang.
Arnav ran his fingers through his messed up hair and looked at lavanya and payal.
Lavanay shook her head and said "Arnav we want to talk to you"
"What is left now? Any more dialogues left of a fight?" he said dryly.
"Arnav! Dont fuss okk lets go in the garden down and talk there" payal said sternly.
"Not before you throw the frog out" lavanya said eyeing simantha-the-sticky-frog especially nicknamed by khushi.
Arnav looked at them narrowing his eyes at them with hsi hands on his waist.
"Evesdropping??" arnav asked.
Lavanya coloured "Ofcourse not. Her voice could have been heard till the next building too!"
"Hmmm..." arnav said still eyeing them.
____________
Arnav went near simantha and said "Hey baby you need to go home we will meet some other day"
"oh come on arnav...dont tell me that you are telling me to go home for that pathetic piece of a girl"
Arnav angered listening to khushi's insult "Dont you dare talk about her like that. I have let you be my girlfriend doesnt mean that you are having the right to criticise the one near to me..Got It?"
"But baby-"
"Get out! Now!"
Simantha went out of the house and muttered "I will get back to you on this gupta! you will pay for it"

EPISODE#08 - Taming the angry princess
Arnav went down in the garden and spotted lavanya and payal sitting on a bench talking about something.
Arnav went near them and sat on the opposite bench.
Lavanya and payal stopped talking and asked him seriously.
Lavanya : Arnav why do you always do this?
Arnav : WHat? What did I do?
Lavanya : DOnt tell me you dont know about it. The way you beahve with khushi is totally unacceptable by her.
Arnav : And why is that?
Lavanya sighed and payal said.
Payal : You treat her as if she is a 4 year old who can be teased about anything and everything.
Arnav : Oh! Ofcourse she is childish there is no doubt in that.
Payal : But she is changing, and if you will behave like this with her she is going to be angry with you always.
Lavanya : Yeah! Just because she is happy-go-lucky-girl, you cant treat her this way. Listen she is in her teens and you are the only guy from her childhood whom she knows and can talk freey, play freely and other things.
Payal : And if you will do this to her, she is going to be very angry as you are not giving that amount of importance that you used to give her before. SHe will feel negleted and nervous with all that bimbos revolving around you.
Lavanya : Yeah those stupid sticky frogs.
Arnav glared at her and she gave a look as if she is annoyed with his choice of girls.
Payal : Arnav, if you really want to be with her in life, than be with he rlike she wants and like you use to behave before and if you feel irritaed than just leave her it will be good for you and her too!
Saying that payal dragged lavanya out of teh garden while arnav was left thinking about khushi his eyes going blank.
'Just leave her' those words rang in his mind like sharp knives.
He cant obviously leave her.
She was the only person who understands him and be adamant at the same time.
Well, this was not the only reason he is not going to let her go, but also beacuse of he rpresence that completes his life in a way which was unknown to both of them still!
He sighed and walked towards khushi's room determined to talk to he rand pacify her in his arnav's style and not ASR!
______________
He knocked the door lightly and waited for a minute for some response.
After getting none he slowly opened the door and peeked in as if he was a thief and acme to rob something.
Khushi wa ssitting on her bed and she saw him peeking in to look for her 'Oh he looks so cute with that expression on his face. WHat? Oh no concentrate khushi you need to be arrogant'
Thinking that she moved her head the other side to look in the dark sky shining with stars throigh her room's window.
He slowly came in and sat in front of her at the edge of the bed.
Arnav : Sweetheart-
She cut him : Dont sweetheart me!
Arnav : WHy shouldnt I afterall you are my sweetie pie and my heart from the begining, right?
This was working a little as she looked at him from the corner of her eyes and then again looking outside the window.
Arnav : You know what, you look really cute with your red nose when you become angry, I wonder what will you do when yu will grow up? umm waitlet me think.
He said while making cute expressions of thinking very deeply with eyes looking up and his point finger tapping on the side of his chin.
Khushi smiled a little.
"GOTCHA!!!"
Khushi's eyes snapped at him while he caught her looking at him smiling.
Arnav : You are very bad at acting khsuhi, especially when you want to hide that smile of yours.
Khushi smiled again and hit him with the pillow that was kept beside her.
Arnav laughed and caught hold of the pillow and kissed he kissed her forehead taking her by suprise.
She looked into those chocolate brown eyes and smiled.
He pushed all her head behind and hugged her while saying "My sweetie-pie" and then again kissed her in between her hair.
Just then lavanya came in stumbling followed by payal and fell on the floor.
Arnav glared at them "Evesdropping?"
Khushi laughed while arnav and khushi were still side hugging each other.
They both got up and said nervously.
Payal and lavanya both said at the same time.
Payal "yes"
Lavanya "no"
And they looked at each other horrified.
Arnav and khushi shook their head at them
