CHAPTER 49 – THE ARRIVAL STAMPS AT THE IMMIGRATION TERMINALS OF INDIA …HOME..& HEARTS
6th Dec – 730 AM(IST)
( In the flight)
ARNAVS POV
I walk back to my seat from freshening up in the dimmed flight cabin of our Emirates flight that was now taking us to New Delhi.We were scheduled to land in two hours from now...and mostly everyone in our business class section is still sound asleep.
Well except for Me!
I woke up automatically about fifteen minutes ago!!
Haha!
Why?
Because of Excitement Obviously guys!!
Did you read the first bit?
ONLY TWO HOURS UNTIL WE LAND IN DELHI!
LIKE IN A FEW HOURS FROM NOW....KHUSHI...MY KHUSHI...MY PRECIOUS SUNSHINE WILL BE FINALLY IN MY HOMEEE!!!
I CANT STOP GRINNING LIKE AN IDIOT!
INSANER...ADDICTED...PRISONER WHO??
ME DAMMIT...MEE!
HAHA!
JUST HAD TO SAY THAT IN MY HEAD..FOR I HAVENT MENTIONED IT IN A BIT!
HAHAHAHA!
I get into my aisle seat now..my eyes fall on MY Sunshine still cozily sleeping in the flat bed next to my seat, in her seat near the window ..and shes looking so adorable in her sleep right now...that I totally need to bend forward and atleast kiss her cheek...and so I do just that...but like very subtly and softly so as to not wake her up yet..because...we will all be woken up in about 45 minutes as they serve us breakfast before landing..so I’ll just let her relax in her slumber till then.I adjust her blanket over her a little and enjoy my peaceful view of watching her in a deep slumber for about 60 seconds...and then I sit back in my seat and recline back into my flat bed too and I keep my hand under my head and I Close my eyes.
Well I am not going to get any sleep right now surely...for I am tooo excited as the time is nearing Landing.
And so I am going to indulge in my favourite Hobby which is thinking about MY Sunshine.
And On that Note – I also have to get around to giving you all a brief glimpse of everything that happened in between of when we bid bye to everyone at Cape Town and this very moment.
Sooo Guys.
Only obvious, when we left From Rahuls place...Khushi was teary eyed with those sweet and salty tears as she hugged Uncle and Aunty Bye and then Asher,Zara,Zain,Rahul and Diya came to see us off at the Airport as well...where again My Sunshine did get emotional as she group hugged all of them Bye and then asked them to be there in India soon as per there travel schedule...and everyone assured her one by one that they were surely going to stick their travel plans because they did not like to see Khushi sulk...and that obviously made MY Sunshine smile and lightened the mood and then there was one more group hug with everyone,and I also greeted everyone then and met them all and thanked them all for their wonderful hospitality for the days I’d spent with everyone were totally like in the chapters of the Best Days of My Life too and I loved every second off it.
And then I took MY Sunshines hand as usual ,laced it through mine and we finally made our way into the Airport and I knew Khushi was going to be silent for a bit because of the overwhelmed emotions she was feeling within...and I know she wants off me in moments like these...which is to be by her side and hold her hand tight...and so that’s what I did...as we proceeded with the rest of the formalities.
And once we were done with the check in and the security checks and had entered into the business class lounge...I finally took her into a private corner and that was when I had instantly pulled her into a crushing hug to ask her if she was ok? And she had hugged me hard and then kissed my hand to minutes later and said to me with a beaming happy smile – that Hoodie guy..I am absolutely fine...ofcourse its sweet and salty but you know the other fact I’m super happy about right now that as I walked into the Airport ..and all through to here.. I was really concentrating within to see if tjere was any onslaught of angst and there literally wasnt Hoodie Guy...I am fine...as in I am absolutely fine...and now I am more sure than ever that I will feel absolutely normal on the Plant too Hoodie Guy.mi am so so excited to feel this way too...you know it’s a big deal – and I was so so so happy to hear that ,so I hugged her hard again and told her how proud I was off her again and then she was all like...oh now you dont worry at all..take me on as many plane rides you want to...infact I think I could even live in one...and then we both shared a warm laugh as I kissed her forhead lovingly and then we made our way back into the lounging area and then just chilled and chatted and talked as usual..and we were also spotted by some of my fans who asked for a combined selfie with Khushi and Me and Khushi asked them with a heartfelt smile are you sure you want me in the picture too I could take a picture with you and Arnav and the couple was like – no we specially want a picture with you too Khushi because you totally won our hearts with that live chat...and then I gave Khushi a I-told-you-so-that-you-won-a-million-hearts-that- day too...and then we happily obliged ofcourse!
And Guys you will not beleive this...when we boarded and I led Khushi with me to our seats in the Business class Cabin...that was the only time I saw a little disappointment flash in her eyes and when I asked her why she had that disappointment flash through her eyes as we settled in our seats – she whispered by getting up from her seat and leaning to my side.. into my ears – “Hoodie guy..ofcourse the seats are lovely and are so luxurious and I do love it...but I was just disappointed because the seats are further apart no like boxed away from each other into these separate luxurious reclining seats..so that means I wont be able to snuggle into your side no at all...like I did on the other flight...and even to talk to you will be I have to lean out my seat to see your face or like now I have to completely get off my seat to be able to say something into your ears...that’s why...”, and that obviously made me chuckle for my heart gushed with Love and I whispered back in her ears – “ Sunshine...know this ..I want to not just kiss you..but Carnage you so bad right now but I obviously cant...so please not that you shall be fined for being extremely uber adorable and irresistible in this very moment later when we reach home...” and she had blushed and flushed furiously and then gapes at me in amusement and then starts to gulp down the glass of water that was offered to us on welcome and returned to her Seat.
And even though out seats were further apart...I did hold her hand during take off in the center wedged up space it between of us as she listened to music too...but I knew she was calm and at peace within becuase of her comfortable body language and the way her hands were gently playing with mine.
The rest of the remaining of the flight to Dubai.. we spent talking by moving closer into each other from the side, and then we also watched some movies..and took our Naps too...and then once we landed in Dubai becuase it was a short layover we just relaxed in the lounge for about an hour catching up on a quick snack too before boarding this Flight again for Delhi and I’d advoced Khushi to completely sleep through this flight so that when we landed at India in the morning – shed be feeling fresh and rejuvenated and not jet lagged or tired because this was her first long travel.
And I think she was exhausted too because she dozed off listening to my playlist on her phone in just a couple of minutes before take off and after take off ...I had reclined her seat to the flat bed so that she would be more comfortable and she was in such a deep slumber that shift in the seat positions didnt even wake her up.. she just adjusted herself super adorably and I obviously tucked her blacker over her too.
And I had then requested the crew to only wake us up for breakfast and then I had dozed off too until and had woken up about 15 minutes ago.
Okk so guys.
Now coming back to this Moment for my Extreme Excitement!
It’s obviously Because the Moment I have been Dying for is finally Coming Nearer..and I will finally have MY Sunshine in my Home and I have been dying for her to Meet Dadi finally just like I know she is dying too... but the other reason why I cant stop grinning is because I am so excited to know if my guess will be right...like as in I’m thinking to myself my taking a guess..that MY Sunshine might just gulp down ten bottles of water in the entire duration of me showing her around My Home and I have imagined this scene a zillion times in my head ok guys ...and I’m totally excited to know if my guess on her reactions will be right or not...mostly I know it will be right..for she will surely exclaim in her adorable dramatic antic when she sees the floor wev got donr up for her – “ hoodie guy are you insane or what..are you nuts...a whole floor?? Like a whole floor?? For stay for just some days?? I could have totally used a guest room or a mini study room or even better shared one the room with Anjali until then ya...hoodie guy what was the need...”, and I am totally anticipating her to consume five more bottles of water once she actually sees it for real!
Haha!
Guyss...why am I this this this excited for her to see Home for real now?
Because she has never seen my Home until now like ever...like obviously not it real time surely..but what I mean is even in virtual time on our video calls...shes only seen my Room on the video call and sometimes my suite area where I chill on the sofa and watch TV.. but that too only that bit sectioned off it....because every time( which were like surely many more like thousands actually) whenever I would say to her on the Video calls in the times I was Home and not travelling and touring...that Sunshine...I want to show you around the house and the other spaces apart from just my room...she would always be like( each and every of those thousand times) – “Hoodie guy...please ya..I just want to spend time talking to you ya right now for we anyway get squeezed up hours exclusively on video calls so pleaseee lets just talk na...and I shall see it later no when I come there in real time...how about you just focus on Your Sunshine right now Love...please...please....”, in a tone that I can never say no to obviously
Soo yeaaa!
That is the Reason why Iv been so so excited...because except for just the exterior of our home..which has made it online in the form of public pictures..the inner pictures of our Home have never made it out public because even though Mom and Dad have always received a zillion requests from architecture digests to do a full feature on our Mansion...wev always been on the same page about it all...that we do not wish to showcase it that way ever and even Anjali has never posted any pictures on her social media or something expect for some selfies which reflect some corners of her room in the background...so yes the pictures of our home have never been made public yet, except for some background shots here and there because of some selfie taken by a guest in an at home party and posted up online or social media etc.....and the only public ones that have made it online that is the few exterior ones have not been seen by MY Sunshine yet...becuase I surely would have gotten a crazy dramatic rant in the form of reaction from her the very next second if she ever spotted it...and I havent ever until now..in all of my time of knowing each other...soo yes...that’s why I am anticipating a full on range of adorable dramatic expressions on her face and then amusing dialogues from her mouth as I finally take her around.
MY ADORABLE Preciouus Sunshineeee!!
Goshhhh.
Iv been freaking dying to just Kiss Her!
For I havent for Hours Now!
Ugh.
Hate that.
And I know I will have to wait Until much later to get any privacy with her , because my crazy mad family is not going to leave her side once she is finally HOME too.
What the Hell Dammit!
And my chain of thought is broken as I hear a shuffle ruffle around me and I open my eyes instantly to see Khushi trying to crossover my seat now and I give her a amused smile as I straighten up my seat midway to give her the way and she immediately whispers by shooting me an apologetic look – “ love...I am so sorry I woke you up...I was just going to freshen up.. “
I smile on reflex as I pull her by the hand and she leans forward and I whisper looking into her eyes – “ how about you give me a hug first Sunshine??”
And she smiles and we hug and she pulls back a couple of minutes later and then kisses my forhead softly and then cups my face and rubs her hand over my beard lovingly as always and she then kisses on my cheek and whispers softly- “ I’ll just be back soon Love...did you sleep well??”
I grin – “ ofcourse...very well...and you??”
She grins – “ what to do you think Hoodie guy..ofcourse very very well ya.mmi think I dozed off even before take off right?? And I can see that you totally helped me get into the flatbed position...thank you love...”
And I wink at her – “ aha...thank you again..you fine is adding up.. “
She grins- “ love you know I might just be saying it purposely...for like I mentioned before said..I dont remember me minding you fining me...” , and before I can say anything to that.. shes flushed and blushed to a deep crimson shade of read and then kissed my cheek and rushed off to the washroom to freshen up!
Godammit this Woman!
.........
Ten minutes Later
I see Khushi make her way back to our seats from the washroom and she has that wonderful smile on her face and that excited twinkle in her eyes that could put the entire galaxy to shame and I smile on reflex as her eyes now fall on me sitting in her window seat and she says softly as she comes to stand next to me – “ hoodie guy...I was just talking to the crew at the back..its like what now 90 minutes to landing...oh my god I’m so excited about this..see see I cant stop grinning...I mean India cmon...after like 24 years off my life for the first time ever...cannot wait...and you know what they are just starting to prep out serving breakfast...I think in 15 minutes..”,and I chuckle and grin as her excitement is so infectious as always and shes beaming at me and grinning and is about to sit on my seat now and I hold her hand and wink at her and make her sit on my lap immediately now and she gapes at me embarrassed as she whispers – “ Arnav...we are in the plane...”
I grin as I whisper back – “ really?? I thought we were just in the sky for no reason...see we are whispering...why because everyone around is still asleep and will continue to ffor the next 15 minutes until the crew starts up serving breakfast and one the lights and stuff...all I want is for you to just snuggle into me for a bit and talk whilst I’m able to hold you close....ok?”, and I kiss her hand now.
And Khushi smiles now as she turns around to look around the dimmed cabin and everyone still asleep and then looks at me and wraps her one arm circles around my neck from behind and then the other hand cups my cheek and is brushing my beard lovingly – “ ok love....fine....I think I’d like that too...to be honest...I missed snuggling into your side all through out the flight...I told you these business class seats maybe like uber luxurious and comfortable Hoodie guy but totally kill the romance ya...”,and she kisses my cheek softly and I whisper in her ears – “ godammit you...just you wait...wait till I get some privacy with you at home...iv been dying to Carnage you....actually dying is an understatement..”
And Khushi whispers in my ears – “ I know...and I think you must know that the feeling is mutual.. as in iv never looked forward to any of my revision classes ever this way...”, and I immediately tighten mybhold on her waist and I pull back a little as I ask softly – “ ten seconds...I need to kiss you right now for a brief ten seconds...” , and she gives me a sheepish look as she turns around to recheck the sleepy cabin around us and she turns to me her eyes twinkling with mirth – “ godaammit you Hoodie guy...you crazy or wait...I cannot beleive that I’d ever kiss on a plane..like really just like I never thought I’d kiss on public...but look at what youv done to me...I actually want to kiss you too...but wait.. like superbrief..ok?5 seconds?”
I chuckle as I tap up my negotiating skills – “ twenty seconds Sunshine...”,and she groans as she says – “ ohh dont you act smart with me again..fine have it your way...ten seconds ok? Not a second more...I’m telling you..ok?”
I chuckle on reflex as I pull her closer by the head- “ let’s see about that Sunshine...”, and before she could say a word further, I close my lips over hers urgently and kiss her deeply and I love the fact that she responds with equal urgency for that totally nullifies our ten second talk , as we continue to kiss for about three minutes and she now breaks away and whispers in my ears – “ oh godammit me...hoodie guy... how did I even think I could kiss you for just ten seconds..”
And we both chuckle now and I hug her close for a bit and she pulls back and she cups my face now and looks into my eyes intently and she says – “ love I wanted to talk to you about one thing...like before we reach home...”
And I grin and cheek on her face on reflex and beam at her – “ I love the sound of that...from you...you know that dont you??”
Khushi nods and she narrows her eyes at me now and says with a side smirk – “ yes yes..I know..now dont you pull that transy eye look on me that will make me just want to kiss you insane..listen to this Hoodie guy..”
I chuckle on reflex -" ok ok...tell me...”
“ok so Love...I remember you telling me that you and Anjali have like your rooms on the same floor right...so I was thinking maybe instead of using like a full guest room all to myself for stay maybe I could just share a room with Anjali...because everyone will start to arrive soon no...as in you did tell me that nani,mama,Mami and your cousin Akash and his wife Payal also will be coming soon...so then I think it’ll be better...what do you think Arnav..??”, she asks so sincerely and innocently and only I know how I bite back my laugh..just you wait!
But shes looking at me in anticipation so sincerely and so I have to say something and I plan to have some fun now so I say looking into her eyes – “ totally...you could do that.. Love and to be honest..Anjali would love it too...and you will be closer to me...willl be easier to convince you to sneak in to meet me once everyone is asleep..my sister is my biggest ally always..”, I finish with a wink.
And she blushes and flushes and she says not looking away – “ oh pleaseee..I am not sneaking around to see you in the middle of the night ok Hoodie guy..please I mean if anyone sees it will be so embarrassing for me...ya..”
And I chuckle as I wink at her – “ ok ok...fine...sunshine..dont worry...your comfort is my priority as always...”
Well she has no clue yet that it will be Me who will be Sneaking Up to Her Floor every night...ha!
FOR I AM TOTALLY NOT GOING TO SLEEP WITHOUT HER IN MY ARMS IN MY HOME – LIKE DUDE IV BEEN DYING TO HAVE HER THERE!
HAHA!
OHH THE FUN THIS SHALL BE!
CAN I ASK THE PILOT TO INCREASE THE SPEED OF THIS PLANE RIGHT NOW?
OR MAYBE..I SHALL ASK HIM TO STEP ASIDE AND LET ME SPEED UP MYSELF?
HAHA!
And she now kisses my fforehead and smiles – “ thank you guy..i am going to text Anjali when we land...”
OH DO THAT SUNSHINE...AND I SHALL ALSO TEXT MY SISTER TO PLAY ALONG WITH ME ON THIS.
I nod at her innocently too and right then the lights come on and the crew starts to make their way around and Khushi now instantly gets up my Lap and I get up from her seat and she sits on hers and she says with a wink – “ know that i shall miss the comfort of your arms until I get to snuggle into you in the car..”
I grin and right then a old amusing memory comes to my mind and I bend forward and I look into Khushis eyes and I say – “ sunshine...so while we are finally Getting through the Immigrations...please remember to keep your phone next to your passport or give me it to me so that I can hand it to the IMMIGRATIONS officer..”
And Khushi asks puzzled- “ huh"??
And I chuckle as I admit – “ well you know so that finally your phone screen can also be stamped by the indian immigration officials on arrivals along with your passport..like in real time...”
And she looks at me amused and we both share a warm laugh as she states – “ gosh.. arnav..this from me was such a long long time ago when I texted you once saying that I seen so much of India with you on video calls because of all your travel during the IPLs that my phone screens deserves a stamp from the Indian immigrations....gosh..you remember?”
And I smile and admit honestly bending forward to kiss her head – “ Ofcourse Sunshine...I remember every word of every text yiuv written to me or that’s been spoken in between of us..too..”
And she kisses my hand now and says softly “ so do I...Arnav..”, and before I could say anything to her the crew comes to ask us if we are ready for breakfast.. and we nod at her and I kiss MY Sunshines head one more time as I say – “ cant wait to take you Home now..cant wait..”
And she smiles – “well I so already feel like Im Home Hoodie guy...you are with me no...”
And I cup her face and kiss her nose – “ stop being so adorable just now or I shall forget where we are and Carnage you right here..bad and hard...”
And her eyes widen to cups and saucers and she flushes furiously as she says keeping a finger on her lips dramatically now and gestures me to get back to my seat and I chuckle to myself as I sit back into my seat.
AHH MY ADORABLE Precious Sunshinne!
YOUR HEART IS MY HOME TOO.
..........
1030 AM – New Delhi, India
KHUSHI'S POV
GUYYYYYYSSSSSS!
I AM IN INDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
LIKEEEEEE OH MY GOD!
FOR REAL!!
HAHA!
AND THE LOOK ON THE IMMIGRATION OFFICERS FACE WHEN I ASKED HIM POLITELY IF HE COULD STAMP MY PHONE SCREEN TOO ALONG WITH MY PASSPORT AND HOW HE LOOKED AT ME AS IF I WAS SOME CRAZY FREAK AND THEN I WAS LIKE OHHH SIR..I WAS JUST KIDDING...HAHA...AND THIS HOODIE GUY WOULDNT STOP LAUGHING NEXT TO MEEE!
HAHAHAHAHAH!
GUYSSSS.
I CANT BELEIVE THISSSSSS!
AS IN NOW THAT IT IS HAPPENING...ITS LIKE SURREAL YA!
ANYWAY NOW I QUICKLY Step Out of the Washroom and walk over to keep back my trackpants and tee in my cabin now.. FOR I KNOW ARNAV WILL BE WAITING WITH THE LUGGAGE AND ALL BY THE BELT STILL – WE WERE AT THAT WHEN I QUICKLY EXCUSED MYSELF TO FRESHEN UP TAKING MY CABIN BAG WITH ME – SINCE ARNAV DID TELL ME THAT IT THIS TIME OF THE DAY IT WOULD TAKE US LIKE 30 MINS TO STILL REACH HOME!
AND I HAVE ALSO CHANGED FROM MY CASUAL ROUND NECK TEE OVER MY TRACKPANTS INTO MY DENIMS AND MY PINK FLORAL LONG KURTA OVER IT – I mean ofcourse guys I am meeting Arnav’s Grandmom for the first time...I wouldn’t want her to meet me in my track pants and tee although I am sure she wouldnt mind becuase shes like so kool and stuff but still ya...I just wanted to freshen up and change surely.
I quickly step in front of the sinks now and wash my face now quickly and splash it with cold water and I open my hair from the messy bun they were in and I brush my hand through them and adjust them to one side and I Smile at My Reflection.
And right then I hear a young girls voice behind me – “ oh my god...you are her...Khushi...ASR's wifi..wait you in India...are you guys like getting engaged and stuff like for real?? Or wait...is there a wedding on the cards aleady??? Oh my god...can I get a picture with you and ASR...but wait first I want one with you...I loved you on that live chat...and dude that lord Voldemort reply was sassy...hats off to you for that.. and my name is Neha..just landed in from London..I study there..”
I smile on reflex as I say – “ thank you so much Neha...so I guess you are Harry Potter fan too then..”
She grins – “ totally...Selfie?”
I nod with a smile –“yeah sure...” , and I pose with her and then pick up my hand bag and lace it over my shoulder and start to walk out and Neha steps besides me as she asks – “ so Khushi...tell me...are you here becuase you guys are getting married soon??”
Ohhh goshhh.
If I give that away right now then it will be like Crazy in the Media and Stuff and so I choose to reply differently and I say politely – “ well to be honest.. iv never been here..even though I am an Indian..so just visiting with Arnav for now...”
And right then as we step out the Washroom my eyes fall on Arnav waiting a little upfront with the Luggage and his Cap is On Now and he is talking on the phone and Neha squeals excitedly next to me – “ oh my god...for real...ASR in front of me for real...Khushi..please can i get a picture with you both...”
And I nod at her and we walk up to Arnav and right then he hangs up the call and spots me and he smiles immediately and Neha exclaims- “ ASR...I am a big fan....can I get a picture with you two please???”
Arnav grins – “ sure why not...” , and we pose with Neha and then she says looking into her phone- “ epic...my insta is going to get flooded today...”, and she looks at us and says – “ thank you so much guys...all the best to you both...and I’ll take your leave now...”, and we smile at her as she goes and Arnav now laces his hand through mine and he says with a smile – “ and Look at MY Sunshine...all changed...no wonder it took you a little longer...”
And I chuckle as I admit – “ arnav i am not meeting Dadi for the first time in my trackpants ok..although i know she wouldnt mind...but still...”
And he chuckles – “ oh yes she wouldnt mind...because that was Mom on the phone...Dadi has seated her self at the seating in the foyer near the main entrance already for she cannot wait to meet you...”, and I smile on reflex – “ really..cmon then let’s hurry then..”, and Arnav smiles and says with a little concern in his eyes- “ so Sunshine before that I was on the phone with Ravi hes here to pick us up ofcourse but its swamped with media outside.. since you know wev been spotted travelling here and people have it all up on social media...and the speculations are on...so just as we step out..there are going to a craze of questions thrown at us...because well everyone is speculating that Iv gotten you Home so there are speculations about the wedding happening soon...you since I didnt come back with the Team and stuff...its just been doing rounds that we would probably come to India together and now that its happening...so yeah...but I’m here ok? Dont worry about it..”
And I smile as I say – “ I know..Neha asked me the same thing in the washroom...I told here I was just visiting for now..as I have never been to India...because well you know otherwise it will be crazy...”
And Arnav grins – “ my brilliant Sunshine..learning the ways of wading your way through public attention too...goddamit you...come on then before I kiss you here...”, and I roll my eyes at him playfully – “ stop Arnav...please ya...”
He grins and winks and right then one of the luggage valet from Emirates and some more official ground staff people come around us and I smile at everyone as we greet them and then one of the lady officials says – “ ASR..Maam are good to go now..” and I say on reflex – “ please call me Khushi...” , and she smiles at me and says- “ ok Khushi..so glad to meet you...Welcome to India..” and I thank her and then they start leading the way and Arnav laces his hand with mine and I ask softly looking at Arnav ppuzzled as we now start to walk out – “ hoodie Guy...why??”
Arnav smiles at me as he kisses my hand – “ Sunshine...this Is India...the craze here in the fandom for our Team is insane on another levels..and more so the craze right now at the gates of the arrival terminals is unlike you would have ever seen in Cape Town..for this Is Delhi...My home city and like I said the news of us arriving together for the very first time has already made its rounds..so...its better...that I just concentrate on just holding your hand and helping Us wade our way through...dont worry ok..you dont need to answer anyone.. nor will I.. we just hold hands smile..and make our way out..ok?..”
And I say on reflex – “ok love..dont worry.. I’m not worried ya Arnav..you are there no...”, and he kisses my hand again and I smile at him as he leads the way.
I was not going to overwhelmed by anything else right now and just focus on that Happiness and excitement of finally being here In India with Arnav for the very first time!
...............
TWENTY Minutes Later
I hang up my phone now and I look at Arnav sideways as I am obviously now snuggled into his side at the backseat of the Car, and hes playing with our Gripped and laced hands and I admit, my eyes looking out the window , taking in the feel of the roads I was on for the very first time – “ Arnav...so now that I am done with speaking to everyone back in Cape Town..I totally want to just focus on the view around.. I mean I am in India...and just so you know Diya was like all of their insta is getting flooded now with questions about our wedding and engagement too...ohh gosh..I cant still get over the crazy media frenzy that was at the arrival..”
Ravi looks back and grins at me – “ welcome to India my little sister...and know this Mine and Anjalis Insta is flooded too...for everyones like we would know...the details...”
Arnav kisses my head now as he asks softly- “ you ok??”
I nod as I admit honestly – “ getting used to it bit by bit...”, and I look at Ravi and Arnav and I admit – “ well obviously ya all of you Men in Blue are like so insanely worshipped in India..iv always known but to see this kind off see and feel craze for the very first time...is like overwhelming ya surely...how do you guys wade through it ya so casually??”
Ravi and Arnav say in unison now- “could say that we get used to it..”
And I chuckle now as I snuggle into Arnavs side and tighten my hold of my hand around his waist and I continue looking out the window as I ask Ravi – “ Ravi...is Pune like this too?? And on that note..how was your visit home??”
Ravi had obviously visited Pune for like 3-4 days in between and infact had only returned to Delhi day before.
Ravi grins – “ oh it was amazing...and well Pune is really different to Delhi actually in a lot of ways...”
I nod as I say continued being intrigued by looking out , loving the feel of being in India and I admit – “ guys this is amazing.. I mean iv never been here...like even my family no ones ever been to India in ages and to be finally be here finally where I am rooted from does feel amazing...”
Arnav chuckles as he kisses my head and then whispers in my ears – “ just so you know I am FREAKING fighting the urge to just Carnage your lips right here right now...” , and I look at him and I gape at him and my eyes widen as I gesture to him to not tease me tight now in front of Ravi and Verma Uncle.( He was Arnavs personal chaueffeur – he had introduced us the minute wed gotten into the car and I had greeted him warmly becuase I’d had heard so much about him from Arnav thst hed been with the fsmilybsince forever and I told him that it was finally so good to meet you Uncle,and he couldnt stop smiling too as he admitted- that Khushi beta you cannot even imagine the frenzy back at home today as everyone is geared up for your arrival..)
Arnav winks at me as he whispers in my ears- “ ok fine.. have it your way now...I shall have it my way Later...I anyway have been dying to Carnage you in my Home for ages now...just you wait...Sunshine...just you wait for your class today...”
And I blush and flush as my thoughts immediately shift to the reference of our csrnsge classes off late and I immediately need distraction now or I was going to look like a flushed beetroot in my face by the time we reached Home and I say to Ravi immediately, totally ignoring this Hoodie guys comment - “ music...ravi...please on the music..the radio...I so want to listen to the radio stations here...”, and Arnav chuckles as he whispers into my ears again – “ ahaa using music to distract your thoughts Sunshine...”, and I narrow my eyes at him and I ask – “ godammit you...how do you know me so well ya...”
Arnav chuckles – “ oh and i am So awaiting for some more confirmations in my head for that.. to affirm my belief that I probably know you better than you know yourself..”
I ask puzzled – “.huh?? What confirmations??”
Arnav grins – “ sunshine...relax...come on now just enjoy the ride 25 minutes until we reach home...”
And I ask excited – “ really????? Fifteen minutes until I finally meet Dadi?”
Arnav chuckles – “ yup...only fifteen minutes..”

Kaushalya Raizada had been waiting for this day since forever.Ever since her grandson had first told her that he was In Love with Khushi,months ago... and from everything she had always heard about her from Arnav and now from Arun,Ravina and Anjali had only excited her more to meet the girl who had captured her Grandsons Heart and Soul – for real- Finallyyy!!!
And she couldnt wait Longer Now- for she already had this super soft corner in her Heart for this innocent and precious Angel who had come into her Grandsons life and loved him truly and deeply for the man he was in his Heart!
And that’s why she had seated herself on the Foyers seating area and was sipping on her tea now and right then she saw Ravina walking upto her with Anjali.
Ravina was her daughter in law technically but was more dear to her than her own daughter would have been...and since Arun was their only child...she was more than glad to get such a loving person as Ravina to fill their life and home with Love and to take it forward and what a Blissful Life had it been all this while as a family of Five and now she was very excited to see her grandchildren settle down in terms of their family life for she was sure that things were not just getting formalised in between of Arnav and Khushi ...but Ravi and Anjali too and she couldnt be happier for them for she knew what a blessing it was to live a Life with someone who is Your hearts desire!
And as her eyes fell on the clock now ...she was wondering what’s taking them so so long...this traffic at the roads of Delhi was really a big problem...! She couldn’t help her excitement to meet Khushi – who shed seen on TV next to Arnav on the day of the final and then in pictures too in the family group and the love shone on her face for her grandson – but now as the minutes of their arrival Home finally neared...she felt like a little excited child within.
Oh a Grandmothers Heart!
And she now asks Ravina with a smile – “ how much time more Ravina..”, as the two of them take a seat in the sofa in front of her.
Ravina chuckles – “ Maa I cannot beleive you...youv been seated here for like what 45 minutes now...”
Anjali chuckles – “ really Dadi...but you are too cute ya...you even cancelled your music class today..mlike you never cancel your music class.....”
Dadi scoffs playfully– “ ofcourse i will cancel my music class for for this is a moment if been waiting for forever...cannot beleive I’m the last one though.. out of all of us to meet Khushi...and so ofcourse i will be seated here in excitement..I should mention again that I am anyway disappointed that I am the last one out of all to meet Khushi...but wait on the note...I’m so happy that I m meeting Khushi before your Nani..haha..anjali remember to click a picture of me with Khushi...I am going to whatsapp it to Devyani...let her burn..haha..who told her to come so late...”
Ravina chuckles – “ maa...you do know Mom would have been here if she wasnt recovering from her knew surgery..she totally wants to get them in shape so that she can dance her way away at the wedding...they will all be here by the 22nd...well in time...”
Dadi grins – “ good good I can tease her until then for we all know how dear her chote is to her..and I have the chance to get back at her how much she teased me at Akash’s wedding so much so that I took Arnav aside and told him that Arnav you should think about settling down too ..and Arnav was surprised as he said Dadi theres still time until I settle down..I havent met the one...when I will meet her you will know...”
Ravina chuckles with Anjali and she asks – “ I cannot beleive even after all these years you two best friends bicker like this...how long have you known Mom Maa...”
Dadi grins – “ I know I know..and you know the answer already...devyani and me go back a long way into our all girls boarding back in time..anyway..now tell me Anjali what did Ravi say?.did you ask him? Ravina you texted Arnav?or maybe I should just ask them outright on whtsapp myself...”
And Anjali chuckles as she says – “ Dadi you might want to finish your tea fast...five minutes they will be here in five minutes...”
Ravina grins – “ and Maa the pooja thali is ready too...arun will be her in a minute too...he was on a call...we are all ready like you wanted...”
Dadi smiles and she grins – “ and well so is the gift I got made for my grand daughter in law...we will first get her to the Mandir and I will make her wear it myself...”
Ravina grins and so does Anjali and they both say in unison – “.ofcourse ofcourse...we know you see excited...cmon now...finish your tea fast...they will be here soon...”
And Dadi returns to finish drinking her tea in excitement!
Ha..Devyani Malik...I beat you to this one – she thinks feeling very happy within!

Khushi's POV
Okkk guysss!
We just entered through Some Main Gates and Arnav tells me that this is the wecuted Gated entry to this part of the Enclave which has various farm houses and that Caps Home was also like further down this very enclave as in like five to ten minutes drive from His!
And I look around completely amazed because this feels like Uber Luxurious...this entire stretch for I can see Huge Mansions as we make Our way down!
Actually guys now that I think off it...i have like never ever seen Hoodie Guys Home ever like not even in pictures or something...I mean Arnav would always want to show me around on video calls whenever he was Home but I just always had my attention on Just Him – ohhh Gosh.
Andd I look at Arnav sideways as I say – “love oh my god you know what I just realised I’m like finally about to see your home for Real...I mean I have seen parts of your Room ofcourse which are so so so gorgeous...”
Arnav chuckles as he kisses my head and says to Ravi – “ and she realises this now...”
And Ravi chuckles too and right then I see the Car pull into this Massive Gates and the Security Salutes and just as I take the sight of the Driveway in front of mee and the Huge tress on the sides and the lush lawns on both the sides...I look at Arnav as I ask – “ love are we making a stop at a hotel or something for this totally feels like a resort...do you have some work here before we get Home...”
Ravi bursts into giggles now and Arnav chuckles too and I look at the two confused – “ what??”
And Arnav kisses my forhead – “ Sunshine we just Pulled into Home...this is the first point of entry...”
OHHHHHH MY FREAKKINGGGG GODDD!
WAITTTT.
WHATTT??????
THESE CRAZY LUSH LAWNS ON BOTH THE SIDES ARE A PART OFF Arnavs Home????
And I say gobsmacked – “ but Love...these are just lush lawns yet...I don’t spot..a...”
Arnav grins – “ a structure or a building yet Love because these are Our like our Party Lawns and the banquet halls and this entire space is kind of divided to fall first and then theres the other gate which will take us into closer to Home.”
And I look at him Gobsmacked as I ask sure my eyes were as wide as cups and saucers or a size of a maroon cricket ball and I ask Dazed– “ Hoodie guy...you have like huge party laws and banquet halls like in the House???”
Arnav grins as he says to Ravi – “ I told you it’s a field day today for me...I’m going to love the play of daze on my Sunshines face Ravi...”, and he chuckles as he kisses my ear – “ and just so you know this...we are getting married right here...at our Home Lawns and banquet...”
My eyes widen at that as I ask – “really??? Gosh Arnav.. this is gorgeous.. to get married in your home...”
He smiles – “ our Home..”
And I say dazed looking at the lush and lavish lawns behind me – “ our home....”, and I turn to look at Arnav dazed the hell out of my mind – if this is the entry...what’s behind those massive high white and gold plated gates and Arnav says into my ear now- “ welcome Home Love...”
Ravi chuckles as he says to me - “oh my god Khushi look at that daze on your face… I so need to click this...little sister..arnav for your record as you asked” and he snaps a picture of a dazed me and I would have asked Hoodie guy why was he being so mischevious right now if I could get a word out of my mouth but I couldn’t - for now the second huge white and gold plated Mansion Gates open out wide and the security guards smile at Arnav and so does he and just as my eyes fall on the House structure and then again the crazy huge lush green lawns on both the sides and the massive driveway which is leading us to the front of the house and the huge line of cars on the side with massive garages – I THINK MY VOICEBOX IS CRASHED TO ANOTHER LEVELS GUYS!
LIKE OH MY BLOODY LAVISH GODS.
THIS IS WHERE MY HOODIE GUY LIVES?
LIKE THIS IS HIS HOME??????????????????????????
AND HE FREAKING STAYED WITH ME IN MY TINY STUDIO AS IF IT WAS THE MOST COMFORTABLE SPACE IN THE WORLD FOR HIM!!!!!!!
AND I AM GOBSMACKED BY THE HUMILITY AND HUMBLESNESS AND THE GROUNDED NATURE OF THIS MAN – ALL OVER AGAIN.
AND THIS MASSIVE DRIVEWAY IS HUGE…AS IN ITS STILL TAKING US IN AND NOW I CAN SEE HUGE LAWS AND POOLS ON THE SIDES TOO AND I LOOK AT ARNAV NOW AND HE CANT STOP GRINNING AND I FINALLY INSTRUCT MY VOICEBOX TO START FUNCTIONING.
BECAUSE I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO HIM.
I quickly pick up my handbag and I take out my Passport and I start flipping through the pages and Arnav asks totally amused and puzzled – “ Sunshine?? Why are you flipping through your passport??”
I look at him dazed as I admit – “ im checking for the arrival stamp Love…as in the Indian immigrations – have they just given me the stamp to enter into just India – theres surely one missing…”
Arnav and Ravi ask in unison – “ huh??”
And I look at the two of them gobsmacked – “ theres a stamp missing no…an arrival stamp from the heavens and the gods of magnificiency and majesticness – for this totally feels like as if I am entering into another Kingdom right now…gosh Arnav…this is…wait..wait..i think my voice box is crashing again…”,and I choke on my voice now and I gesture to Arnav that my voicebox is crashed again for real and he chuckles and pulls me into a tight hug – “ godammit Sunshine…iv imagined this scene a lot of times in my head…but nothing beats the priceless expression of surprise.. on your face right now…”,and I just hug him hard and right then I see the main entry in my eyes vision and I spot Mom, Dad , Anjali and Dadi waiting up and I feel my Heart Glow already as I spot Dadi with a pooja thali in Her hand.
And I look at Arnav overwhelmed with emotions and he chuckles now as the cars pulls to a halt and he says – “ I told you shes been wwaiting for this moment forever Khushi…for the moment I bring my Sunshine to my Home…cmon lets go then..love..and don’t worry iv asked HP kaka to keep your bottles of water ready…I know you are going to need one as soon as we step out”
Ravi chuckles as he says – “ yeah for she surely finished the two bottles we had in the car just as she sat after that media frenzy…”
I look at Arnav all zapped still and very very overwhelmed and he takes my hand and kisses it and I smile at him and I finally step out of the car – at the doorstep of Raizada Kingdom!
…………………………
Dadi cant stop smiling now as she sees Arnav hold a very dazed Khushis hand as he leads the way and now they all make their way down the stairs and Dadi exclaims to Ravina, Arun and Anjali – “ the three of you will wait…I shall meet Khushi first this time…finally…”, and they all nod and grin at each other and wave at Khushi excitedly and let Dadi take the lead now.
And Dadi grins as she sets her foot down the last step and Arnav and Khushi both bend down together to touch her feet and She holds the pooja ka thali in one hand and then touches Khushis arm with the other – “ Khushi…beta…you will hug me always…”,and she looks at her grandson as she says – “ cmon you Arnav…hold my thali…I need to hug Khushi..”
Arnav chuckles as he says – “ sure Dadi…”
Khushi smiles at Dadi – “ namaste Dadi..i have been waiting to meet you too…Arnav always talks so so much about you…”
And Dadi brushes her hair and then kisses her forhead and she states – “ finally…I get to see you for real…trust me I haven’t been this excited since the day Arnav or Anjali were born…welcome home beta…”, and she now hugs Khushi immediatey and Khushi huugs her back happily, feeling totally overwhelmed with happy emotion.
And Ravi goes on and stands next to Anjali and grins at Ravina and Arun as he says – “ aunty, was dadi ever interested in theatre too??”
Ravina chuckles – “ oh yes…at some point surely…you know Mom and her used to do plays in their boarding school days…”
Arun grins – “ remind me to still keep trying to get my hand on some of those old tapes that must exist somewhere in your homes basement in Bombay Ravina..”
They all share a warm laugh and enjoy the sight of Dadi now doing a mini aarti of the two and putting tikkas on their forheads and then now hugging Arnav and Khushi in a group hug.
And now Dadi takes Khushis hand and she says – “ cmon I am taking Khushi in first..”
Anjali and Ravina – “ maa let us atleast hug Khushi…”
Dadi grins – “ wait wait..you can obviously…but inside..dont take away this momet from me…cmon Arnav hold Khushis hand..we will take her in together…”
Arun grins – “ Maa I am sure we can come to a sensible consensus wev all been waiting for this moment forever…let is all go in together..”
And Dadi nods with a grin – “ ok ok…fair enough…cmon you all…”
And Khushi looks at Arnav overwhelmed as she gestures to him that her voicebox is crashed with emotion and he gestures to her that he understands and Khushi follows everyone.
………………………
Five Minutes Later
Khushi is still unable to get her voicebox to work as she stands with Arnav in this majestic mandir and Dadi and Ravina and Anjali do Khushi and Arnavs aarti again and Arun and Ravi watch with a smile on their faces too, and then Dadi asks Arnav and Khushi to sit on the bench space and she sits on the chair in the front and says picking up a gift box from near the Mandirs diya and she says to Khushi – “ Khushi beta…I have a little gift for you..im seeing for the first time so please let me..”
Khushi smiles – “ dadi…please…all we want is your blessings..”
Dadi nods – “ which are with you both always but still this is a blessing too…”,and she now opens the gift box and she says softly looking at Khushi – “ this kangan is for you beta…you know I gave one of the same design to Ravina when she came home for the first time and I gifted another similar designed one to Anjlai too on her bday last year and now I want you to have the kangan of that same design – for you are like technically my granddaughter in law but in my heart you are just like Ravina and Anjali to me…so please I want to make you wear this…”,and Khushi nods now feeling overhwhelmed as Arnav beams down at her in Happiness.
Dadi makes Khushi wear the Kangan now and Khushi now hugs dadi as she thanks her and then pulls back and Dadi kisses her forhead and Arnav asks with a wink – “ dadi..seriously no gift for me??”
Dadi grins – “ well none for you today surely Arnav…”
Everyone now laughs and Khushi asks softly looking at Dadi and Ravina– “ dadi..mom, my voicebox is all parched with emotion but I …can I please have some water ??”
And Ravina griins – “ sure..HP is here with your water already…”
And Khushi smiles at HP as he now offers the water to Khushi and Khushi says – “ thank you HP bhaiya…”,and she quickly gulps down all four glasses of water one by one – much to everyone’s amusement and Arnav chuckles to himself as he winks at Ravi with a gesture – told ya.
And once Khushi had finished gulping down the water now Ravina says with a loving smile as she says to Khushi – “ cmon then…I need to hug you now..”, and Khushi now gets up and hugs and meets everyone and then Ravina grins as she looks at Arnav – “ cmon then Arnav, take Khushi around, I know you are dying too.. meanwhile I get the preps done for our brunch..i know you both ate your breakfast and stuff…but still…ill call you guys once that’s ready an din the meanwhile I will also send some coffee and munchies for you all…”
Khushi looks at everyone sheepishly and she looks at HP – “ HP bhaiya…why don’t you give me Three four bottles filled with water..ill just keep having it..”.BECAUSE SHE SURELY KNEW THAT SHE WOULD BE NEEDING ALL THOSE WATER BOTTLES.BECAUSE RIGHT NOW SHE WAS JUST IN THE ENTERANCE AND THE FOYER OF THIS RAIZADA KINGDOM AND THE MANDIR WAS AT THE ENTERNACE AND THE MAJESTICNESS WAS ALREADY STUMPING HER OVER AND OVER!
Arun grins as he says – “ ok kids..iv got a couple of calls to make..ill be in my Study and I will see you all at brunch…arnav…get Khushi to my study too ok whilst you are showing her around..”
Arnav chuckles , his heart completely drowining in adoration over Khushi’s expressions, and he holds Khushis hand and kisses on it – “ cmon then Sunshine…”
Anjali and Ravi grin as they jump up close to them both and say mischeviously in unicon – “ cmon then Sunshine…let us show you around..”
Dadi grins as the looks at the four – “ come to my room first Arnav once you are done with the outside…”
Arnav grins – “ yes dadi..dont worry..”
And right then HP walks up to Khushi as he says – “ your water..khushi bhabhi..”
Khushi thanks HP and she takes all the five 500ml of bottles from HP and places them in her open hobo handbag and once she looks up she sees Ravi, Anjali and Arnav bite back their smiles as they are all looking at her amused and Khushi says to everyone embarrassed , in a dramatic antic way – “ no no…don’t stop your laugh on my pretext for im sure…you all are very amused by the daze on my face…laugh…laugh all you want ya guys…I know..i know…”
And now the three of them burst out laughing and Arnav kisses Khushis forhead imemdiatealy –“ oh godammit you…so freaking adorable Sunshne..”
Ravi grins as he says to Anjali – “ anji…I so have to show you the picture I snapped of Khushi as we entered the gates…”
Anjali grins – “ really??an expression more priceless than the one iv been seeing?”
Ravi grins – “ totally…”
Khushi now looks at everyone embarrassed as she states – “ what can I do ya guys…im totally going to need all of these bottles of water for real… and a lot more I guess as the three of you take me around the majestic lanes of The Raizada Kingdom…wait..i think I need to like start getting a visual map in my head…or im totally goiiing to get lost in here…”
Anjali, Arnav and Ravi burst into giggles as they say in unison– “ the majestic lanes of The Raizada Kingdom??”
Khushi states sheepishly – “ guys please ya…”
And Arnav now laces his hand with Khushi’s as he states pulling her into a sidehug and a mischevius wink – “ cmon then my princess…my name is Hoodie Guy and I am your tourist guide for now..”
And Khushi chuckles as she hugs him tight from the side and she says softly – “ gosh Arnav…you do know I will be silent maybe…because my voicebox will be crashed…”
Arnav kisses her head fondly – “ I know..i know Sunshine..cmon then..iv been waiting for this moment forever now…”
Khushi nods – and she lets Her Hoodie Guy lead the Way!
………………
50 Minutes Later
Khushi’s POV
OHH MY FREAKING LAVISH LUXURIOUS GODS!!!!!!
THIS IS INSANEEELYY LUXURIOUS!!!!!
GUYSSS.
I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE – HOW BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS AND MAGNIFICIENT IS THIS MANSION.
LIKE I HAVE BEEN GOSBSMACKED TO ANOTHER LEVEL RIGHT NOW.
MY EYES ARE LIKE PERPETUALLY BEEN WIDENED TO THE SIZE OF CUPS AND SAUCERS FOR LIKE THE LAST FIFTY MINUTES BECAUSE JUST WHEN I THINK – OK THIS IS LIKE OH MY GOD SO SO SO GORGROUS – WHAT COULD BE MORE LUXURIOUS AND GORGEOUS THAN THIS – THE NEXT SPOT I AM SHOWN CLEAN BOWLS ME.
AND IF I COUNT THE FOUR GLASSES OF WATER I HAD IN THE BEGINNING – I HAVE ALMOST CONSUMED LIKE TEN BOTLLES OF WATER GUYS – WHY DO I SAY ALMOST?
BECAUSE I AM STILL SIPPING ON THE LAST ONE AND ONCE I GULP IT DOWN I FINALLY FRESHEN UP IN Anjali’s washroom.
Ofcourse I was going to need to use the washroom no after all that massive consumption of water.
Guysss.
This is unbeleiveble – everything about the outdoor areas – the massive gardens – the patios, the pools and the breathtaking landscaping in the back exterior to the north elevation – the different outdoor seating areas – its like it took my breath away!And Arnav this mischevious Imp was loving it…he was totally loving it the daze on my face!
And oh my god guys – the Indoor infinity Pool and the GYM – I was like Holy Moly Freaking shit – so so so Insane..and then because Arnav obviously plans to kill me so he wouldn’t stop teasing me as he whispered in my ears as Anjali and Ravi were walking ahead of us after we finished seeing the Indoor pool area – “Sunshine…this pool is heated and even though we are headed for winters here in india soon…im going to freaking carnage you in here…insane…soon…”
And I was like – oh god – Just Kill me Now!
And then he wouldn’t stop grinning as his hands continued to be laced tightly into mine as he led our way in and then the ground floor – where we entered took my breath away too – the kitchen was so beautiful and lavish and yet so cozy and pristine and then the formal living rooms, the two more informal livng areas – then Dadis room, Mom and Dad’s rooms and the two more guest rooms on that floor along with dads study, moms home office and then the Epic Home Theater with round beds in it – like oh my god – even if I try to I cannot get down to explain the majesticness of this guys – IT IS FREAKING INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
AND I OBVIOUSLY MET MOM IN THE KITCHEN AS WE WERE THERE…DADI IN HER ROOM..AND DAD IN HIS STUDY AND I JUST SMILED AT EVERYONE COMPLETELY STUMPED SPEECHLESS AS I COMPLIMENTED EVERYONE ON HOW BEAUTIFULLY THEYV PUT THE INTERIORS TOGETHER FOR IT WAS BREATHTAKING.
AND THEN WE MADE OUR WAY INTO THE IN HOUSE ELEVATOR – WHICH TOOK US TO THE SECOND FLOOR FIRST – AND THEN ANJALI , RAVI AND ARNAV SHOWED ME AROUND THE FIVE OTHER MASSIVE GUEST ROOMS ON THAT FLOOR – ANOTHER HOME THEATER – A FORMAL LIVING AREA – AN INFORMAL ONE TOO – A POOL TABLE – A ENTERTAINMET BAR AREA! (LUXURIOUSLY INSANEEEEEEEE IS AN UNDERSTATEMET)
AND THEN WE MADE OUR WAY DOWN TO THE FIRST FLOOR – WHICH I KNOW IS ARNAVS AND ANJALI’S FLOOR AND I WAS KINDA EXPECTING THAT THIS MISCHEVIOUS IMP IS GOING TO SHOW ME HIS ROOM RIGHT IN THE END – AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED - BECAUSE FIRST THEY ALL TOOK ME TO SEE THE FORMAL AND INFORMAL LIVING SPACES ON THIS FLOOR – THEN ANOTHER HOME THEATER WITH SQAURE PURPLE BEDS – AND THEN FINLLY WE CAME TO ANJALIS ROOM WHICH IS LIKE THIS HUGE SUITE – AND ITS SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL AND PRISTINE TOO…!
GOSHHHH.
AMAZING.
AND THEN
BECAUSE OF ALL THAT CONSUMPTION OF WATER – I HAD TO PAUSE FOR A LOO BREAK IN ANJALIS WASHROOM!
I finish freshening up and I splash my face with water now and I tap it dry with a towel and I step out now knowing Hoodie guy, Anjali and Ravi are waiting for me and as I step out I say to Anjali immediately with a smile – “ Anjali..this is beautiful..thanks for letting me share your room with you…”
Anjali smiles – “ khushi..i am more than happy trust me…”,and she winks at Arnav and she says – “ ok so bhai..the next speace we are headed to show Khushi on this floor is your suite..so I think me and Ravi would like to give you some privacy to show your Sunshine around to your private space..”
I see Arnav narrow his eyes mischeviously at Ravi and Anjali – “ ya right…as if I don’t know why we are being given that levy…so that the two of you can have some privacy to yourself too..”
Ravi chuckles and he says with a mischevious wink– “ well dude…you are the brother so I didn’t want to say this out loud…but I do need a moment with Anjali too…for aunty is surely going to call us for that brunch soon…and only fair I guess..you want some privacy with my litter sister…you gotta give me some with yours..”
Anjali chuckles as she smacks Ravi’s arm playfully – “ ravi..stop ya…”,and she winks at Arnav – “ bhai…go now..you have fifteen twenty minutes maybe…I shall give you call when mom calls me and then you have a another five minutes until we barge in you two...haha..now go...” ,and she sticks out her tongue at Arnav, and he scoffs at her playfully and looks at me as our eyes lock intensely and he holds my hand and starts to lead the way and I say to Anjali on the way out – “ Anjali…my handbags in here..with you…its got my passport and everything..”
Anjali smiles– “ don’t worry about it Khushi..”
And I now just follow my Hoodie guy as he is taking me down this huge floor to the other side across and I am silent because I can sense by they way he looked into my eyes before he took my head to lead me in here to his room, bits and parts of which I have seen on the video calls- that he was probably going to shift the bit of showing me around his space towards the end after Anjali gives us that call, for I am pretty sure the minute we walk into his room- which I guess we are about to since hes now opened this really amazing sleeky door that totally looked like a part of this huge wall and not like a separate door at all and I am expecting to be pinned up against the door the minute it closes and be kissed hard and insane..!
And just as I was standing in looking dazed around this amazing suite space of Arnavs room for real dazed finally taking it in for real – my eyes fall on the sofa on the right side with that wing chair and the huge tv screen up front where he mostly child while watching tv and then on the other side there this amazing sitting space so so so lavish..and there a mini bar too and I say on reflex – “ hoodie guy...iv seen bits of different corners on the video calls but to see it for real..its ama....” , and before I can complete my sentence I am now pulled back by the hand and shoved against the closed door and he cups my face now and says – “ apologies Sunshine for i had kind off frozen for a moment in time...as I realised that it’s really you in front of me for real...in my room..godammit you...you know how long have I waited for this?? For this very moment...?? And you know what all I was thinking about when I was leading you in here was I’m going to carnage your lips bad and hard the minute we stepped in...but then I was frozen due to emotion..so forgive me for being two minutes late maybe Sunshine...godammit you ...iv been aching to just kiss you for what feels like ages now...”, and before I can even say a thing to him his lips close over mine hard and urgent and deep as he dominates my lips now and his hands now go around my waist possesively as he pulls me closer into himself and I wrap my arm around his neck immediately and he lifts me up now and I wrap my legs around his waist now and he continues to Carnage my lips hard and deep and his one hand continues to caress my backside over my Jean’s urgent and hard and he breaks apart from our heated kiss for a second and he whispers in my ears – “ I am FREAKING going to Carnage you in every corner of this space Sunshine...like i have imagined a zillion times in my head...and I think I want to start with my bed first...”, and before I know it hes taking a dazed me in his arms with my legs still wrapped around his waist intimately through another sliding door..and I can only shiver in anticipation over what’s in store for me for the next fifteen minutes maybe.
........
Arnav had lost it both emotionally a couple of minutes when he had finally entered with His Sunshine to his private space and then ofcourse the fact that he was now finally alone with her even for a bit was enough to send his desire raging for Her.
And he just couldnt wait to see the sight of her on his bed now and that’s why he had carried her Immediately here and he now places her on the bed urgently and gently and gets on top of her in a jiffy and whispers caging both her hands in his grip parallel to the sides of her head on the pillow and he whispers intently already starting the friction in between their lower selves that drove the two of them insane – “ Godammit you...do you have any clues how many times iv imagined you in here with me???no you dont...but I’ll get around to talking that bit with you later maybe Sunshine..for I am totally pushed for time...and becuase of all the ache iv been feeling within for you.. all through out our travel time..uptil the moment here is surely going to refrain me from being the gentleman...I’m going to stamp all off you I can hard and fast...”
Khushi was his lost prisoner in the heated moment of passion already as she felt herself ache for him too and she states looking into his eyes softly “ I’d like that..I’d love that.. and dont remember me ever minding you not being the gentleman...but we are pushed for time too love and I dont want to go down for brunch all flushed and blushed ya...it’ll be too embarrasing...”, and she also ends up torturing Arnav more as her body automatically starts to respond to his friction too and matches him and he groans in disappointment now as he asks – “ Sunshine...godammit..do you not want me to Carnage right now??do you have any idea whats it taking me to not just take your clothes off you right now and see you ..and then touch you…and carnage you insane…do you not want it too? Well your body already signals ottheriwse”
And Khushi admits hoarsely – “ofcour…se.. I want you to carn..ag..e..me..too..you..know..that..you..c..an..fee.l..it....but love.. I’m conflicted....totally becau..se....”, and he whispers softly his hands caressing her necklines now – “ shh…just shh.....lets not waste time on our hands then Sunshine..”, and Khushi slips deeper into hus trans as their eyes lock intensely and she pulls him in for a deep kiss herself now and a couple of minutes later right then she sees Arnav take off his tee in a swish and he leans forward and helps Khushi half way up and swished her Kurta off too and he pushes her back into the pillows.. his pillows and he feels desire rage at that sight of that hot pink brassiare and he immediately now leans forward and starts to carnage her necklines and Khushi is moaning his name in ther heaving tone that anyway creates a havoc on his senses and he now immediately shrugs off her brassiare straps of her shoulders and then yanks it down half way and he starts to caress one of her upper curves deeply ...letting his fingers play with her pebbled peaks and he unbuttoned her denims with another hand urgently now and leans forward to whisper in Khushis ears – “ dont worry I’m not getting you bare right now Sunshine for we are short on time..but I do need to touch you like now...iv been dying to...you wouldn’t mind would you..” and Khushi can only moan in anticipation, melting under his torture already – “ Arn..av...plea..se...yo..u..k..n..ow..I.. wouldn't Mind....” and Arnav grins to himself in victory as he knows exactly what that please means..and he now immediately starts to torture her curves and peaks intensely with his lips now and Khushi can only whimper and moan in his arms as she feels his hands now making their way in through her boyshorts towards the most intimate part of her and she shivers and yet feel like shes on fire already in anticipation of that aflammed feeling that she feels by his touch on her and just as hes about to touch her intimately now...the phone next to him rings with a shrill voice breaking their moment and Khushi now immediately pulls Arnav in for a deep and brief kiss pouring her fired up emotions into it and Arnav kisses her back as urgently , and helps her readjust her denims back in place...as the phone continues to ring and Khushi finally pulls away from the kiss now and opens her dazed eyes to look into Arnavs and he kisses her forhead softly and helps her adjust her braiassaire too now back in place and asks softly – “ you ok???”
And Khushi nods as she straighten up and she blushes furiously as she gestures Arnav to pass her ..her kurta now and he does and gets up putting on his tee and takes the call now and listens to Anjali telling him that she told Mom that they will be down in five minutes for everyone was waiting for brunch now and he then fills out two glasses of water and hands them both to Khushi with a wink – “ well I know this is what you are doing to ask for Love...”
And Khushi flushes Insanely now but she gulps down both the glasses of water and once she is done...she looks at Arnav who is beaming down at her lovingly and she tries to look away from his eyes and she asks – “ what???
And Arnav grins now and kisses her forhead – “ godddammit...could freaking eat you up one day you are that adorable love..I cant get over the fact how you are still so shy off me for a couple of minutes after our electric sessions...I mean you always take three to four minutes until you can meet my eye...”
And Khushi narrows her eyes and gives him a sheepish look and then throws a cushion off his bed on him playfully as she states with a smile “ and whose fault is that...what you make me feel as if I’m on fire and swinging in between the seas and the stars..dont blame me that it takes me minutes to even recollect my name after our sessions are over or when they get interrupted this way for that matter...”
And Arnav now pulls her by the hand so that she comes to stand in front off him and cups her face and then pulls her by her waist closer into him by the other hand and he states intently- “ I love the sound of that Sunshine...how about you tell me a little more of what you feel huh??. “,and he pushes he hair behind and trails kisses softly down on her necklines and Khushi says softly, enjoying the feel of his soft kisses on her necklines too – “well off late I do feel like your one touch puts me too fire...as if like a spark off fire would blow up pools of petrol/diesel/or any form of gasoline for that matter...”
Only if her words hadnt fascinates his head again..Arnav would have continued torturing her a little more...but he now cups she face immediately and smacks her nose lovingly and he asks amused – “ how...just how do you even come.up with something like this?? Like your head FREAKING fascinates me Insanely...just when I think it cannot get more fascinating Sunshine...”
Khushi chuckles as she kisses his cheek – “ ok then Hoodie guy...how about you show me around here until we have Anjali and Ravi come in and barge on us..I think we do have like what two three minutes..and love know this...you really gotta help me make a map like on paper to understand the ways around the Raizada Kingdom...or I am going to get all lost by myself...”
Arnav kisses her forhead now amused – “ well your Hoodie guy wouldn’t let you get lost Sunshine...and I promise to be your exclusive tourist guide around here for as long as you need...”, Khushi chuckles now ad kisses his other cheek and Arnav now takes her hand and takes her into his wardrobe space and he says – “ and I will be shifting all my things to one side of this closet…to make space for you now…Sunshine…”,and Khushi smiles on reflex as she takes in the lavish walk in closet and she says – “ Arnav…this is…gorgeous…”,and then Arnav now takes her excited by the hand into his washroom and then hugs Khushi from behind as he states in her ear – “ and this is where I shall Carnage you very very often Sunshine…you know since I like to believe in the concept of Save water..i advise us to shower together quite often..”
Khushi blushes as she looks around and says softly – “please Love…lets not go to those references for now…”
And Arnav chuckles now and takes her excited by the hand baack into his room and he says holding both his hands up parallelly in the air – “ I cant believe this…you are finally here….”,and Khushi beams at him in happiness as their eyes lock emotionally and he hugs Khushi tight now and she hugs him tight too and then he then pulls up and kisses her forhead – “ well Sunshine…like you see this space, my room is more like me…for its just been me and I did not want to get any changes into the interior done here without your choice…so please…you are more than welcome to make any changes…”
Khushi smiles at Arnav and admits honestly – “ no love…I don’t want to make any changes at all…I love all of this as is…iv seen bits and parts of it on video calls and now to see it all as one in real time…does feel like I connect to it deeply in my heart…so please lets not make any changes…”
Arnav smiles as he kisses her cheek – “whatever you want Sunshine…”,and right then the extension phone rings and Arnav grins as he winks at Khushi – “ well im glad they aren’t barging in on us yet..”
Khushi chuckles as she says – “ well love im sure because they know if they do…you will surely get back at them for it…for aren’t you like the mischevious imp of the highest level yourself…”
Arnav grins and listens to Anjali and says – “ two seconds…we will be with you…”
And he hangs up and then takes Khushis hand and says lovingly – “ cmon then Sunshine..lets eat…”
Khushi nods and follows Arnav happily, as he leads the way out.
…………………
AN HOUR LATER
Khushi sips her coffee as she listens to the happy chatter of everyone as they finish up eating and her eyes lock with Arnavs who was sitting across of her now and he gestures her to look into her phone.
Khushi looks at him confused but she picks up her phone and is surprised to see a text from him awaiting her on whatsapp.
Arnav : and your hoodie guy is yet to take his stamp over your heart Sunshine...or freaking all over you for that matter…and I cannot wait to continue our session from where we left it.....so now that everyones done eating and is going to disperse soon..mom might ask you to relax and stuff and take a nap..or accompany her ot for a bit with Anjali and Ravi..and how about you cooperate with me on this and help me getting us some privacy by saying that you would prefer to relax since you didn’t get any sleep on thee flight…which just the two of us know that you did get.....so yeah...how does that sound Sunshine? Do I have your co-operation?
Khushi quickly replies : you are insane…and you drive me insane too.Fine then.
Arnav : thank you for your cooperation Sunshine.cant wait.
Khushi narrows her eyes at him from across playfully but does not respond and just continues to sip her coffee and smiles at everyone and then says to Ravina – “ mom…this was amazing…I mean I cant believe you had all my favorite dishes prepped up…thank you…”
Ravina grins – “ well I had help from your aunty..i have a full list of all your likes and dislikes food wise Khushi..right here in my head already…beta..”
Khushi beams at her happily.
Arun grins now as he looks at everyone as he says - so so excited to have Khushi home finally and he states now – “ ok Khushi beta..i am working from home today…but I do have some con calls and meetings for the next three four hours…so I shall be in my study….and I am totally free post that..so we are going to have tea together then….”
Dadi smiles – “ yes yes surely..Khushi beta..finally iv dreamed off having my favorite tea time with both you and Ravi around too…im going to just read for a bit too and catch up on my nap …”,and she looks at Ravi – “ and you will be with us all day today right ravi??”
Ravi smiles – “ ofcourse dadi..we will be back..by then..”
Ravina nods – “ totally Maa…for I am just stepping out with Ravi and Anjali for some work in Gurgaon…but we shall be back in three hours too”,and she turns to Khushi as she asks – “ Khushi beta…it’s a meeting I have with the event team for the wedding preps..do you want to come with us in case you did sleep on the flight and are feeling fresh..or if you just want to relax a little…”
Khushi smiles at Ravina innocently – “ mom..i didn’t get much sleep on the flight…how about I join you in on all the preps from tomorrow…I surely will like pakka pakka..”
Ravina nods and kisses her forhead – “ ok then…you relax a little…”,and she turns to Arnav – “ Arnav you too..just relax today maybe…because I know you will hit the office with you dad tomorrow on..”
Arnav grins – “ yes mom…”,and everyone now starts to disperse and Khushi asks Anjali softly – “ Anjali ill just adjust some of my stuff in your wardrobe…thank you so much for sharing your room with me once again…”
Ravina and Anjali bite back a smile as Arnav gestures them to just play along and Anjali says – “ofcourse Khushi…HP kaka already has got all your luggage settled up in my room…whilse we were eating…”,and Ravina says – “ Khushi..beta just relax and catch up on some rest maybe…you can unpack tomorrow..we shall help..”
Khushi nods and says softly – “ ok ill see you all in a while then…”,and everyone nods at her and then they now starts to disperse one by one and just as everyone is off the dining table…Arnav takes Khushi’s hand and leads the way to the elevator now and once they were in he kisses her forhead – “ finally…you and me..and no disturbance for three bloody hours…don’t worry Sunshine..i will let you get some rest too..but in my arms”,and Khushi blushes as they reach the first floor now and Arnav takes her hand and kisses on it and says softly – “ wait for me right here…”,and Khushi looks at him puzzled as to why would he ask her to wait outside the elevator, bit she does and she is surprised to see Arnav walk out his room two minutes later with a little carry bag in his hand and she asks – “ whats this Hoodie guy??”
Arnav chuckles now a he says – “ come with me Sunshine…”,and Khushi is just trying to comprehend as Arnav takes her into the eleavator again and Khushi says – “ Love…my stuff…Anjalis room…where are we going…”
And just as the elevator door closes Arnav says, putting a hand over her eyes from behind her– “ shh..just keep your eyes closed too…Sunshine…theres a very important part of Home that I haven’t showed you yet…and now is the time..”
Khushi asks puzzled – “ huh?? What?? Theres more to this majestic kingdom??”
Arnav whispers into her ears – “ Sunshine…iv been dying for this moment too…forever…I had them spent months on getting this done…”,and Khushi asks puzzled – “ what are you talking about love???”
And right then she feels Arnav lead the way out of the elevator and Arnav now keeps the carry bag hed got with him on the foyer mantle and says wrapping another arm around Khushis waist from behind – “ I am talking about this Sunshine…open your eyes love”,and with that he finally takes his hand off her eyes.
Khushi now opens her eyes slowly and finds herself looking at this gorgeous beautiful space which is etched out on the entire floor starting with this foyer and she could already sport the chic interiors that followed down the space and Khushi says – “ wowwww Love…this is amazing…another guest floor isn’t it? Why didn’t you show this to me before??”
And Arnav now whispers in her ears from behind – “ well I am in two minds whether I want to make this a guest space later on too…”,and he kisses her shoulder
And Khushi asks snuggling into his embrace – “ what do you mean isn’t this a guest floor??”
Arnav now turns her around, because he didn’t want to miss the expression on her face and cups her face now and rubs his thumb over her cheeks gently – “ no Sunshine…this isn’t a guest space…this is a space we got done up specially for You…”
Khushi’s eyes widen in surprise and shock as she states looking around – “ what??? For me???”, she asks dazed.
Arnav nods now loving the priceless expression on her face and he smiles – “ ofcourse your comfort is my priority Sunshine…I figured youd want some private space just to yourself too until the Wedding…for its so much of a change…I wanted you to have someplace where you can just be and unwind and relax too in your own pace and privacy..”
Khushi feels a zillion emotions rush through her now as she instantly hugs arnav and states – “ love…this is so so thoughtful of you really but Arnav…I …gosh…this is amazing..but…you didn’t need to set up this entire space…I would be more than happy in just sharing the room with Anjali too…”
Arnav continues to hug Khushi hard as he brushes her hair lovingly – “ I know love..but I wanted to get this space exclusively done for you..not just for your stay until the wedding but for after too you can just use the study in here for your work and then also sometimes if you just want to be by yourself…whever you want to …please…Love……cmon then…I want to show you around here now..all your luggage has already been settled in your suite…for the first time ever I sat with Mom and Anjali and helped them finalise the look and the interiors on around here..and the outside side of the terrace too…i hope you like it…”
Khushi pulls back from the hug and just nods at him, feeling totally overhwlemed but she did not want to hurt Arnavs feelings too for she could see the emotion he had invested into this and she nods, cupping his face – “ like????? I love it already…you helped mom and Anjali with this?? Gosh..thank you love…thank you so so much for this…cmon then why don’t you show me around what youv got done for me..”
And Arnav grins excited and he now takes Khushi by the hand and starts to show her around the formal living room , the informal sitting area, the mini pantry, a small dining area too against the wall and then her very own study with this amazing table and cozy futon sofa space with a wall of green plant work behind and Khushi walks around behind Arnav dazed as he then takes her to the outside patio which had this adorable hanging sunbed too surrounded by planters and tells her that hed thought shed love to just lounge there and catch up on some reading maybe and then he takes her to the terrace side which again was elegantly and lavishly done with a theme of chess (because Arnav knew that Khushi used to play a lot of chess games with her daddy when she was little) and Khushi is bowled listening to every thought – every emotion into the detail hed put into getting the space done for her – emotions driving her crazy and she is dazed..completely dazed unable to get her voicebox to work as her eyes convey a million overhwlemed emotions to Arnav anyway which he Understands and keeps kissing her hand in acknoeledgement of her silent gestures to him.
And then Arnav finally takes her hand and leads her in to this huge room and Khushis eyes widen even more as she spots the magnificent white and gold plated round bed with a rounded canopy and four pillars on the sides – as it stood maginificentaly wedged up in the room on two semi circled steps and the background up the headrest was completely plated in a glossy gold finish with the design of 3d flowers on it and she whispers – “ Arn.a..v…thi..s…is…I just don’t know what to say…even the word magnificient falls short for this…”
And Arnav now hugs her from behind tight and whispers in her ears – “ well you are my Sunshine and my very own angel whos destined exclusively just for me forever and beyond…I told Mom…the look of this has to be white and gold…”
And Khushi now immediately turns around as she hugs Arnav hard and she continues to just hug him hard as overwhelmed happy tears now leave her eyes and Arnav hugs her hard for about five minutes in silence basking in the warmth of the moment and then he pulls back and he says wiping her tears – “ ok sunshine…water..i know that’s what you need…let me get you some from the pantry…”,and Khushi nods at him gobsmacked and dazed as she turns around to take the feel of the space again around her and then Arnav walks in with two bottles of water and his carry bag and Khushis cabin bag and then slides the room door shut and locks it up and gives the bottles of water to Khushi and she gulps them down and he states mischeviosuly – “ just like I thought in my head – you consumed almost as much water as I thought you would ever since we set afoot here…looks like I do know you in and out Sunshine better than you know yourself…”
And Khushi gulps down a big sip of water as she says in between with a grin – “ oh really???do you now?? Ok tell me whats the thought in my head right now??
Arnav folds his arms as he says with a smirk– “ ofcourse…I know whats on yoru mind Sunshine..and if I guess right…I get some bonus points which I shall redeem right here right now…you are going to let me Carnage you Insane obviously but before that..the bonus point is that you let me join you in the shower too, that I know you do want to take now too…and see I came prepared..your cabin bag is here…I know you have another change in there..and this carry bag gas my change that I can relax into after…”
Khushi gapes at him – “ whatttt???? Oh you are so freaking mischevious hoodie guy…look at you…with all your prepp work..”,and she challenges him now – “ okk fine…if you take the right guess , I shall let you join me in the shower..but incase you don’t guess it right…this carnage class gets postponed to later tonight then..”,and she returns to sip down her water with a wink – sure that there was no way Arnav could guess what was on hr mind right now.
Arnav chuckles as he says – “ well I am confident Sunshine…so now if you allow..shall I voice the thought that is occupying your thoughts…”
Khushi nods as she continues to sip down her water and Arnav says – “ well the way you just looked around this whole space nervously and started to gulp down water Sunshine…you are thinking how to tell me that …hoodie guy as much as I love this…I think I will be a tad bit scared just sleeping here all by myself …so if you don’t mind can I share the room with Anjali for the night..just today…as this all sinks in…”
Khushi almost chokes on her water immediately as she looks at Arnav in daze – just how the bloody hell did he even figure that out…as she watches him comes to her side immediately as he asks concerned – “ you ok???sunshine..are you ok”
And Khushi nods as she clears her throat now and says – “ godammit you…howwww did you even figure that out…”
And Arnav chuckles as he cups her face now – “ like I say..i know you better than you know yourself…”
And Khushi now wraps her arms around his neck lovingly – “ ok so you win the bonus point obviously..”and she pauses as she asks softly – “ but will it be ok love If I share the room with Anjali tonight…for I will be really ovwehrlemed to just be here all bymyself…”
And Arnav picks her up his arms and takes her through the wardrobe space into the huge washroom and puts her down on the floor and pins her against the wall as he pulls back to strip off his tee but keeps his tracks on as usual so that he doesn’t get driven down the edge of insanity that makes him forget about his pact and then gets Khushi’s kurta off her in a jiffy and pushes her hair to one side and kisses her neckline softly as he whispers into her ears – “ well I have a solution for that too Sunshine…”and Khushi stammers as she starts to get lost in his trans as his lips slowly and sensually carnage her neck now – “ a solution..nn??”
And Arnav chuckles as he pulls back for a second and cups her face with both his hands lovingly and looks into her eyes and admits – “ the solution that you are obviously not going to be alone up here…Sunshine how could you even think id not sleep with you in my arms every single night from now..that you are home…see you would sneak up to be with me in your uncles home…so im totally going to sneak up to be with you once everyone is asleep…and the difference is that I will stay the whole night and only go back to my room by 630-7 in the morning…works no??”
Khushi stamme..rs dazed – “ godammit you…you are going to drive me nuts…you want to kill me…you want to kill me surely…oh you should be in Azkaban for real…Hoodie guy…”
Arnav chuckles innocently – “ oh really?? Because im about to switch to my sinful devlish mode now???”, he asks as he now strips Khushi off her braiissare and then her denims and her boyshorts too and he helps her step out of it too and Khushi nods as looks at him dazed as she sees him look at a bare her from head to toe as his eyes darken to deep pools of desire for her.
Arnav chuckles as he now picks her up in his arms and carries her into the shower cabinet as he winks at her – “ how about you tell me how much you love this sinful mode of mine…while I carnage you hard and bad…and ofcourse before I get to that..im totally going to help you shower too…”
Khushi flushes and blushes to a shade of crimson red as she has goosebumps all over her as she is speechless into his trans already and she knows Arnav knows that and he cant stop gloating about it within as he now places her on the cabinetfloor and closes the cabint and opens the spray of water of warm water on both of them instantly and then shoves Khushi to the wall and starts to kiss her hard and deep as his hands and Lips begin a familiar Carnage revision class on His Sunshine – familiar yet a lot more intense and very very emotional one too – for she was finally with him In his Home!
……………………………………………
10.30 PM
Khushi’s POV
GUYSSSS.
I AM SO SO SO OVERWHELMED WITH HAPPY EMOTIONS THAT ITS INANSE!
BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS – I REALLY DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS IS MY FIRST DAY IN INDIA AND IN THE RAIZADA KINGDOM FOR REAL – FOR I HAVE ONLY FELT SO SO SO SO COMFORTABLE AND AT PEACE TODAY WITHIN IN MY HEART – BECAUSE OF ALL THE LOVE THAT NOT JUST ARNAV – BUT EVERYONE HAS BEEN SHOWERING ON ME!
So to give you all a brief glimpse of everything that happened after Arnav whiskied me away for that Sinful Carnaging Revision Class!
So after that sensual class amongst us two in the shower which also continued into the room later – me and Arnav did catch up on a little sleep in each others arms on that Super Angelic Bed hed got done for me – yes yes…I have named it the Super Angelic bed guys -Because that’s what it is !
Ok soooooo.
I ended up sleeping a little longer actually for I kind of woke up around 5pm and Arnav was not there by my side and I immediately got ready and started to make my way down cursing myself for oversleeping – right when Hoodie Guy had entered through the elevator and I asked him why didn’t he wake me up and he was all like Sunshine cmon you were in such a peaceful slumber – I just couldn’t and its kind off good that you were sleeping because I wanted to talk to everyone in the meanwhile and then I asked him what was he talking about and he hugged me tight and told me that he had everyone get together in the the cozy patio outside and he told them all about the reason for us not seeing each other in 11 months in real time – as in he told his entire family about what had happened in between of Coach Sir and me and everything after – and then to his surprise even Ravi had told everyone that the entire team knows about this too along with sachi maam as coach sir had told this to them in Cape Town itself and now everyone downstairs was getting way too emotional about everything that happened – and all they wanted was to see me and that is why Arnav was finally coming up to get me – and also because everyone was waiting for their second round of evening tea and coffess to have with me.
And I had obviously hugged Arnav as I was overwhelmed as I told him that he didn’t have to tell anyone, and he was all like – I had to Sunshine – and I am kind of surprised that Sir came clean with the entire team on this and I reminded him that Coach sir really was sorry – it was just a act out of error of judgement and then Arnav was like I am still getting around my head into forgiving him Sunshine, not there yet – and I supported him with saying that I was there with him on this in his every decision and then because we were on the topic of cricket – I asked him if he had any plans of talking to Cap soon now that we were back and he told me that Ravi had mentioned to him a while ago that Cap , Sachi maam and little Zoya were right now visiting their parents and the rest of their families in Ranchi – and were gone for a little time off there soon – so Arnav thought it was better to talk to him in person once he was back rather than on the phone – since the matter was so important – and I totally had the same opinion as the matter was so so so important indeed.
And guys just as we had reached everyone on the patio – I was instantly pulled into a warm hug by Mom and Anjali as the held me tight and said that they were so glad that I hadn’t given on Arnav or US ever and then Dadi hugged me tight too as she said – that just when Arnav had first told her about me she had told him that even though I haven’t met her – everything youv told me Arnav makes me firmly believe the fact that she is the one for you that Khushi is your biggest blessing and after everything she had heard her beleifs were only strengthened further and then Dad hugged me too and was all like that’s he was so glad that I am so so strong within and he was also happy about that fact that I didn’t give up too and fall for usual mindgames and that I took power from love and positivity and for that as always I am so proud of you Khushi beta and then Ravi was all like ya man my little sister the Iron Woman – as he hugged me too and then finally Arnav pulled me into his arms as he kissed my head – yeah guys more Like My Lady Terminator – the Heart of Gold edition – and we all shared a warm laugh and Arnav held my hand all through out the rest of the evening tea time and happy chatter and he didn’t let me leave his side at all.
And then post that around 7 pm – we all had done video calls with everyone back in Cape Town individually and the smile on all of my near and dears ones told me that they could read it from my face that I really was very very happy within.
And then the elders continued to have some chats about the wedding preps on the conference call as well.
The four of us – Arnav, Me, Ravi and Anjali just had a good time together chatting up and talking before Dinner.
And Then
We had all gathered in the Home Theatre on the ground floor – we as in -Mom, Dad, Dadi , Anjali, Ravi and Arnav and me, after dinner as Anjali replayed the video of the events of the reveal after the World Cup Final for like atleast five times and I couldn’t stop blushing everytime as Arnav wouldn’t stop teasing me constantly with his silent eyes and gestures and then by the last replay of it Dadi had hugged me to her side as she told me that she was finally glad that she was watching this video with me by her side and then ofcourse Arnav wouldn’t stop gloating in happiness within as everyone teased me some more over how much they enjoyed the shock on just mine but on all of my near and dear ones faces too – and then Ravi took his leave and we all see-d him off and made our way In.
And it was right then I just told everyone to wait up for me in the Home Theatre as I told them that I would be back with them all in like five- ten minutes – and Arnav was looking at me all puzzled and I gestured him to just play along and he did and now everyone is waiting for me down.
Oh so yeah – iv been in My Room guys for the last ten minutes getting the stuff that I need – whilst I have been on this thinking and giving you all a glimpse – spree.
I quickly finish taking up all that I needed from my room and I wipe my overhwlemed Happy tears for I am listening to my heart again and letting it guide me with love and warmth.
I close my eyes as I remember my family with a smile on my face – I am sure they are really Happy Up There Right Now for me – for I was sure that they could sense that even though I was in the Majestic Raizada Kingdom for the first time ever – in my heart – it totally felt like Home too – and all because of the love and warmth I was being showered with.
They are my Family now and I think its Time I do this – and now feeling more excited and confident about what I had planned in my head - I quickly make my way down!
…………………………………..
Meanwhile Simultaneously – in the Home Theatre
Ravina looks at her son as she smiles – “ Arnav what is Khushi upto?? Shes been gone for 15 minutes...and now shes just messaged on WhatsApp in the family group that she hopes we havent moved from our places and that she would be here with us in like two minutes...”
Arnav chuckles as he admits – “ mom trust me on this...even though I tell Khushi that I know her like in and out and can totally read her mind...sometimes I just cant figure out what she is upto in that fascinating head of hers...she surely is upto something, she had that smile on her face when she left...but no clue what this is about...”
Anjali nods – “ hmmm let me think..I cant seem to figure it out...”
Arun smiles – “ well we will know soon right..she should be here in a minute..”
Dadi smiles looking at everyone- “ even I am so curious right now...”
And right then they all look up to see Khushi entering with a grin up her face and with two medium sized carry bags in her hands and she states to everyone excited – “ oh gosh...see I found my way back without getting lost into the lanes of the Raizada Kingdom everyone...but Hoodie guy you gotta still make me that map....”
Arnav and everyone around immediately laugh and Arun says lovingly – “ ravina..maybe you and Khushi should explore theatrics back together for that expression on her face right now is epic..”
Ravina chuckles and so does Anjali and she says – “ khushi...totally let’s explore it sometime soon..”
Khushi grins at everyone and she says now – “ ok ok everyone...nooe please stay in your seats...I have something for you all..”
And everyone looks at her confused and Arnavs eyes lock with Khushis puzzled as he asks her silently what she was up2 and she just smiles at him and then looks at everyone – Dadi and Anjali and Arnav seated on one for the rounded beds of the home Theatre and Arun and Ravina sitting on the L shaped sofa to the side of the seating next to each other and she takes a deep breathe as she says with a warm smile – “ ok everyone Dadi,mom,dad ,anjali...and ofcourse Hoodie guy...I just wanted to let you all know that I really don’t feel like it’s my first day in India or here with you all...for it really feels deep in my heart as if I am Home...and it’s all becuase of how warmly you all have welcomed me in your lives and it’s been so so overwhelming for me emotionally to just feel that even though I am half across the globe into a new country and a new place technically...this just doesnt feel new or strange at all...it truly feels like Home in my heart and I always say this to Arnav that his heart is my home and I want you all to know that I promise you all to cherish him and love him and all of you too forever...”
And everyone gets emotional and Arnavs eyes do well up eith emotion as he starts to get up as he says – “ Sunshine...”
And Khushi looks at him as she grins – “ no hoodie guy...you stay put in your spot..this is my moment with everyone...”
Everyone chuckles and Arnavs grins and sits back in his spot.
Khushi now says to a rooted and surprised everyone – “ ok mom ,dad,anjali,dadi so all day today ever since I come here over felt so much love and warmth from you all that I am thinking to myself...that I really want to thank you all like not formally ok..becuase this is not formal...its like out of love...so now...I have something for each of you as a little token of love and promise from my side that I will always cherish you all, our family too...”, and she looks at Arnav as she grins – “ ya ya Hoodie guy dont worry you are included in this too....”
Arnav chuckles with everyone and Khushi now smiles as she picks out something out of her carry bag and Arnavs hearts stops beating in Happiness for a second for he instantly recognises what this is – FOR HE HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE WITH KHUSHI AND HE KNOWS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WHAT SHE IS ABOUT TO DO AND HE KNOWS ITS GOING TO CLEAN BOWL HIS FAMILY WITH EMOTIONS TOO – GODAMMIT THIS GIRL – AND SHE CALLS HIM THE MAGICIAN?
And his eyes locks with Khushis in emotion and she smiles back at him and walks to Dadi now and sits in front of her as she states looking at everyone – “ I have stored my familys favourite stuff with me always you know after the crash as I wound up everything...I kept everything from their closets etc their spaces packed it up in suitcases and kept them in the room next to my studio and in two small cabin bags that I always left open would be all of their favourite stuffs that I had collected and I always left it semi open and I obviously got those along with me and today I want to give each of you a little gift which is is super precious to me for it belongs mom,dad and Krish..”,and everyone looks at Khushi moved as Dadi puts her hand on Khushis head and kisses her forhead and Khushi noe smiles as she says – “ dadi...my mother she used to love her stolls...I got like five of her favourite ones with me...I want to give you one...this white one and along with this...Moms favourite Radha krishna murthi it’s really small but she would always decidedly light a small lamp right in front of this small murthu back in our small temple space at home...” and she hands it to Dadi and Dadi touches it lovingly and looks at Khushi way too moved herself and she says softly – “ this shall be with me in my room, right next to my bed..always Khushi..”,and Khushi grins happily and then Khushi takes out another stoll and a bracelet of her mothers and she moves towards Ravina and she says – “ mom...you asked me to call you Mom...and I was so overwhelmed that day that I could use those words Mom and Dad again...so this pink stoll of my mothers used to be her super favourite and I guess Arnavs seen me wearing it too...I had it on the second time we met...and this bracelet used to be her favourite too it’s not like real jewels and stuff but...”, and Ravina instantly hugs Khushi as she kisses her forhead and states lovingly – “ the most priceless gift I have ever received..Khushi...cmon make me wear it...”, and Khushi grins as she puts the bracelet on for Her and then she turns to Arun and she takes out a round neck tee and a ink pen and she says softly – “ dad...this blue colour tee used to be one of my daddys favourites round neck tee..I’d like to give this to you to keep and this ink pen its kind off worn out but Daddy would always use this to sign all his important papers always.. he would think this would be lucky for him...”
Arun now kisses Khushis forhead too lovingly and he states – “ I am getting hold on that old ink pot of mine first thing in the morning Khushi...and I shall use this most definetly...and i will also wear your daddys tee ...the size will surely fit me...”
And Khushi nods and she finally turns to Anjali and she says taking out some more stuff from her bag – “ Anjali...you are like my sister too so...I want to give you one of Moms favourite earrings and then this box – it like a little collection of all broken crayons and colour pencils,pencils ,his sketch pens etc that Krish would mostly use while he would colour...I know you enjoy sketching too...so ...”, aand Anjali immediatley hugs Khushi hard as she says – “ and I will use this definetly Khushi...most definetly...this is priceless...”
And Khushi now pulls back from Anjalis hug and she looks at Arnav as she says softly –“ hoodie guy...I di have something for you too...”
And Arnav is anyway stumped with emotion as he had been witnessing the most precious scene of his Life and he looks at Khushi overhwelmed as he says – “ khushi...please you already gifted me with krish’s coin then those two notes that yiud gifted to your parents as your first earning..”
And Khushi now looks at everyone as she says – “ I dont know if this magician told you that before we left cape town he took me to visit home..as in my home that I used to live with everyone before the ccrash.and I was so happy and overwhelmed with sweet and salty tears because of him that moment..”
And everyone now looks at Arnav lovingly , feeling very proud of the man their grandson,son,and brother was in his heart and Khushi now says taking out a bunch of two keys and she opens Arnavs palm and puts it on it as she says – “ this used to be my key set of the main door entry of my home in cape town Arnav..I kept it with me always.. even after I sold it off..even though I knew that the family would have changed locks and it was of no use to me but I couldnt let it go ...i wanted to gift this to you after the wedding..but i think I want you to have it now too...only fair.. since iv shared a token of my familys memories with everyone...how can I not give you this..”, and before she could complete her sentence she was pulled into a hard hug by Arnav and she hugged him back tight too and he whispers into her ears – “ godammit you just when I think you cannot stump me more with emotion..you do this..I love you dammit...”
And Khushi whispers in his ears – “ only fair that you know how overwhelmed I felt when you showered my near and dear one with all the love and sincerity...and I love you so so so much too..”
And Khushi pulls back from Arnavs hug and then she turns to everyone and they all hug her one by one so so so lovingly and sincerely and she hugs onto everyone one by one and then Anjali suggests that they all watch the Reveal video once again and everyone agrees and Ravina says to Arnav- “ and you my son sit where you are sitting.. khushi will sit with us...”
Arnav chuckles as nods – “ ok ok...fine guys...”,and he relaxes back in his seat now as he watches His mom,dad,dadi and sister circle around Khushi happily and compeltely overwhelmed by the emotion she had made them feel and Anjali switches on the video again and they all start teasing Khushi again as she starts laughing and talking to talk as she starts to dramatically narrate the thoughts that were in her head in those particular scenes and all of his Family couldnt stop beaming in Happiness.
And He felt his Heart Warm Up Like ever before as he clutched the set of keys in his hand Lovingly – Khushi was his Home too, and right now in this very moment as she sat in Hiis Home and with his family finally after all this while – he could only feel his Heart Glow a Zillion times more Today!
And he was sure about one more thing though- by the looks on each of his family members face – he knew that Khushi had permanently sealed her entry into the Immigration Counters of each of their Hearts - Forever!
And he now wonders that he had asked Khushi to search for a superlative of Love for them...but could they ever give just a name to this Pure and Powerful and MAGICAL connection in between the two?
The Word Love Surely isnt Enough!
And maybe the word Devotion also wouldn’t be enough!
BuT would any any word or phrase in the dictionary of emotions be enough to even come close to depict the depth and intensity of what their hearts felt for one another?
Nah!
He didnt think so!
And that’s why maybe they would both just have to keep wondering about the same individually or collectively – as to what could they name this Love???
