Chapter 97

The morning came and Arnav woke up a little late. He had some difficulty going to sleep after what Khushi had done. He smiled and went outside. He noticed Khushi's room door open and her not in the dorm. He looked at the table, his tea and breakfast was already made. He walked towards it and saw a note.“already left for exam study group. Sorry. Long day ahead.” He heard a knock on the door. He opened it. There was a mailman there. He passed him the parcel and an envelope. He opened the envelope and read the note. “ A Tit for Tat :P ” He was confused for a moment. His eyes widened. He realized what Khushi had meant. He immediately put his right hand on his neck. He gulped and looked at the mailman who was trying not to laugh. The mark that Khushi had made was no less than that of Arnav's mark. He was embarrassed. He now knew what Khushi must have felt like. He took the parcel and quickly closed the door. He heard the mailman start to laugh. He closed his eyes. He opened the box and was amazed. Khushi had sent him a very nice jacket. He immediately put it on and zipped it up all the way. He sighed in relief. At least now hismark was not showing. He started to carry on with his day. Everyone asked him if he was feeling ok, since he was wearing a jacket zipped all the way up, even during class and his labs. He looked down and nodded. Trying to avoid all questions. Tom had seen him in class, but arnav just gave a polite smile and then moved away. He wanted to maintain a bit of a distance from them. At least for the time being.

Arnav knew Khushi would be late so he texted her to not worry about dinner. He would grab something for them. As the evening approached, and before Khushi came back to the dorm, Arnav had managed to clean up the place, have the table set, and put lit candles everywhere. He wanted to thank Khushi for helping him yesterday with his stress, and for always being there for him. She always knew how to help him, to heal his paining heart. He also needed to be able to talk to her about their relationship. He turned off the lights in the dorm to allow for the flickering flames from the candles to stand out. He waited for her on the sofa and started to read his books. Exams were right around the corner and he wasn't able to get much time to prep for them. He soon dozed off. Khushi came back after a little while. She opened the door and was surprised by the surprise that Arnav had planned. She smiled, closing her mouth with one hand. Her eyes became moist. No matter how many times Arnav did something special for her, she would always be pleasantly surprised. She sighed and looked around for him. She saw him sleeping on the sofa. She smiled and gently closed the door. She quietly went to her room and put her stuff away. As she did that, she had an idea. She smiled and then blushed. If Arnav wanted to plan something special for them, then she would also help make it more special. There were only two weeks left until he had to leave. She smiled and opened up her strolly. While she was back home, since she came a little after Arnav, she had gone shopping and bought something. She knew how much Arnav loved to see her in a sari. She had bought this deep green coloured silk sari with a black border. She got ready, but this time left her hair down. She knew Arnav liked it that way. She quietly came outside and noticed that he was still asleep. She smiled. She wanted to wake him up, but seeing him so tired, she didn't have the heart to. She got him his blanket, raised his legs on the sofa, put his glasses away. She would wait until he would wake up himself. She sat on the other sofa. She felt a little bit tired and thought to take a nap. She rested her head against the arm rest and tucked her legs in. The morning approached and Arnav woke up. He noticed Khushi sleeping soundly on the sofa in front of him. He silently smacked his head.

Arnav: what the. I can't believe i fell asleep.

He sighed. He looked at Khushi again and noticed what she was wearing. She looked like an angel in that colour. She had folded her hands under her head. She had luckily pinned her pallo up this time. But the pallo was falling to the ground. Exposing her entire midriff. His eyes widened and he gulped. He immediately closed his eyes. Yes, he had seen her there before, and lovingly caressed her as well. But that was with her permission. If he looked this time, it wouldn’t be right. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep again. But, helplessly, he slowly opened his eyes again, just a bit. He wasn't able to control himself. He had a desire burning in his heart. He gulped. He immediately got up and went to his room. He quickly but silently closed the door. He had to be away from her. He needed to be able to control himself. He held his head. Closed his eyes. But all he could see was what was behind the closed door. He opened his eyes. He was in trouble. If his eyes stayed open, then his mind wandered, and if his eyes stayed closed, then his eyes wandered. He started to pace back and forth. He needed to distract his mind. Anything, just anything. He picked up his phone and started to search random things on the net. Anything, just anything. But he wasn't able to do much. He gulped. Crashed onto his bed and held his face with both of his hands. He closed his eyes. He was doomed. He heard a knock on the door, it was Khushi.

Khushi: Arnav, are you up? Should I make chai?

Arnav: umm, yes. no.. actually I am just studying for the finals. You have it. I will be out later. Thanks though.

Khushi was shocked. What happened to Arnav? Why did he just say that he didn't want to drink chai with her first thing in the morning.

Khushi: Arnav, are you ok?

Arnav: umm. Yes. Don't worry.

Khushi sighed. He was probably just busy studying. He was right though. Exams were right around the corner and they were both not being able to focus as much as they should. Khushi sighed and went to her room to change. She came out and started to clean up the candles and everything. Arnav heard her working. He was hoping that she would have changed by now. He gave himself a little pep talk. Focus on her eyes. Nothing else. Just the eyes. He slowly opened the door and came outside. She turned her head around and smiled. He smiled back. She got the cup of tea that she had made for herself and walked up to Arnav and gave it to him. She smiled and pushed herself up a little, placed her hands on his chest and gave a gentle soft kiss on his cheek. He closed his eyes and gulped. His head started to spin. She shyfully stepped back. She was surprised that she just did that. She looked down, gulped and shyfully and very quietly whispered.

Khushi: Thank you for the surprise last night.

He kept his eyes closed and gave a soft and gentle smile. She started to turn a little red, she turned around and started to walk back to the kitchen. He gave a deep sigh. “Breathe Arnav, breathe. Control. You need control” was all he was saying to himself. He opened his eyes and walked to the kitchen. He needed to talk to her. He couldn't let this carry on any further.

Arnav: Thanks for the tea. I think I really needed it. Don't you have a class this morning?

Khushi: Cancelled. I was thinking of just getting some exam preps done.

Arnav: Oh ok. Umm, Khushi. Can I talk to you about something?

Khushi looked at Arnav curiously. He slowly brought his hand forward and gently held onto hers. He led her to the sofa and gestured for her to sit down. She sat in the middle of the sofa. She started to get a bit worried. He sat down right beside her. He turned his body to face her. He placed the teacup on the table. He took a deep breath, and held onto both of her hands. She looked at their hands. She started to get more worried. He was silent for some time. He had to think of how to say what he wanted to say. He was still lost for words. He was already unable to control his emotions and desires, and now he had to bring his mind back on track to be being able to talk to her. Khushi remained silent and just waited for him. He needed his time, time she was willing to give him. Arnav kept his gaze down.

Arnav: Khushi. Umm. I wanted to talk to you about us.

She kept her gaze down. Her heart started to race. She knew he had been worried since the past two days. And now he was finally talking to her about it.

Khushi: Is it something I did?

He immediately looked up at her and shook his head.

Arnav: no no. I don't mean it that way. I mean Us, in terms of... Us. I mean. How do I explain this. Umm... Ok... (he took a deep breath, while she looked down) Umm, before we started to become closer, before we got engaged. I mean, we were able to talk to others for advice, and about us. Right. But, I think, or believe. Or.. hope.. yes. I would hope that now we are at a stage where we are each other's best friends. You are for me. And will always be. I would hope that I am yours. I know we have a long way to go to understanding each other fully. And I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you. But, I think that we are both at a stage where... umm. Ahem. We should... keep.. our relationship, just.. ... just... between...

Arnav was lost for words. He wanted to be sensitive in what he wanted to say to her

Khushi: Our relationship is ours, and should stay between us. And only us. Right?

Arnav was amazed. How was she able to finish off his sentence? She sighed and looked up at him. She gave him a loving smile. He silently looked at her in amazement. She looked down again.

Khushi: Yesterday, in class, Minta told me what had happened. They feel very bad and realize that they shouldn't have crossed their limits. I just smiled it off.

Arnav: why didn't you tell me that you knew?

Khushi: Because, they are your friends. Tom and Nadia. I didn't want you to feel bad or upset. They meant well, maybe they just didn't do so well. I say we forgive them, but like you said.

Arnav: Maintain a little distance.

They both smiled at each other. He sighed in relief and looked at her lovingly. She looked down. She started to slightly blush.

Khushi: Arnav, voh. I have always only had one best friend. Since I even knew what friendship was. He knows me the most, and I love him the most. He was, is, and will always remain the closest person I have.

Arnav's smile grew bigger. He immediately went forward and hugged her. His force was a bit more than she could handle and she fell back. They now both lay on the sofa. Khushi on the bottom, wrapped in Arnav's arms, and Arnav on top. He looked at her. She shyfully looked down. He slowly raised one hand and moved the strands of hair that were caressing her face. She bit her bottom lip. No matter how close they came, his touch always made her tingle. She gulped. Her hands were on his chest, and her chest started to heave. He felt her breathing harder and harder. His desires from this morning started to get the best of him. He had to sense her, he needed to be closer to her than he already was. He slowly leaned in. Just for a touch. Just a touch, but would he be able to handle just a touch right now? His eyes were fixed on her tender lips. She smiled and kept her gaze down. She closed her eyes. His face was now just inches away from her. The tip of his nose gently touched the tip of hers. She closed her eyes even more tightly. Her heart was racing. His was no less. He needed to touch her lips. He very very slowly leaned more in. She wasn't ready. She slowly turned her head to the side. Arnav stopped. He closed his eyes. Sealed his lips and sighed. He leaned in and gave a small kiss on her cheek. She slowly opened her eyes a bit but kept her face facing towards the side. She kept her gaze lowered. He whispered.

Arnav: sorry..

He got up and held out a hand to help her up. She held onto his hand and got up. Khushi’s phone rang. She went to the kitchen and got her phone. Arnav picked up the chai and walked behind her.

Khushi: Namaste Amma. I am fine.How are you? ... yes don't worry amma. I am taking care of myself..... Yes don't worry. I am studying. .... Yes, I already made a schedule. ... Arnav, umm, yes he should be fine. I don't know. ...ahem.. no amma. We have both been very busy in our studying, we don't really get that much time to talk.

Khushi felt bad for lying to her mother. But it was only so that she wouldn't hurt them, or break their trust. Arnav looked at Khushi’s face, he saw her disappointment for lying to her own mother. He sighed. He slowly walked up to her and hugged her from behind. She was doing all this just for his sake, for his happiness. Khushi tilted her head a bit to look at his face. She smiled and sighed. Khushi finished talking to her mother. She now needed to talk to Arnav about them becoming distracted from their studies.

Khushi: Voh Arnav. Umm

Arnav: Let me guess, we need to focus on our exams and living together is getting in the way of our schedules. Hmm. Let's make sure that we both focus on this, I mean our exams first. The extra time after that, we will spend together. Ok.

Khushi sighed and smiled. She nodded her head.

Khushi: Thanks.

He let go of her and went to his room to study. She did the same. The next one week, they would meet or just spend tea time together. It was a crucial time for their professional careers. They both would try to spend time studying in their rooms, attending classes. But, every single day, they would start with each other, and would end it with each other. Just a simple hug, a small kiss on the cheek, or the forehead. Or just hold each other in their arms. Enough to take their fatigue and stress away. The exams started. Arnav was worried as to what to do with his luggage that he had at the campus. In order to make it for the connecting flight he had to fly over and couldn't drive back home. He called his dad and asked him for advice. Prakash said that he would take care of it. There were just four days left and Arnav and Khushi both had just one exam left. Khushi was to leave one day before Arnav. The night approached, and Khushi went to bed. Arnav was up studying. He heard a knock on the main door. He was worried as to who it was this late at night. He opened it and was surprised to see Akash.

Arnav: Akash, you here? At this time? Is everything ok?

Akash: bhai, let me in first please.

Arnav moved aside and let Akash in. He was worried as to what Aaksh was doing in Toronto this late at night. Akash went and crashed onto the sofa. Arnav walked up to him.

Akash: everything is fine, don't worry. I just finished my last exam this morning, and dad made me take a flight here so I could drive your car back for you. Do you have anything to eat? Please, I am starving. I went to your old dorm and Minta opened the door. She told me that you are here, so I came here. It’s good that you guys changed dorms, this one is much better.

Arnav nodded and went and made Akash a plate.

Akash: this smells soo good. Since when did you start to cook like this? Hmm?

Arnav: Oh, Khushi made it.

Akash: Khushi?

Arnav’s eyes widened. What the.. what can he possibly tell Akash about Khushi and his live-in? He knew he had to tell him, but how, and what. He didn't want to give him the wrong image. He went and sat down beside Akash.

Akash: She probably sent it over. Hmmm?

Arnav: umm. Actually. Ok, first listen to me, no judgements, nothing. ok. And please, please, please. Not a word to anyone. Umm, Me and Khushi live here together.

Akash started to cough and almost choked on his food. With his eyes opened wide he turned his face around and just stared at Arnav. With a completely blank expression.

He started to explain how Tom and Minta moved in, and as a last resort he and Khushi had to move in. They both lived separately and everything. Just came in to sleep at night. And no funny thoughts. It was a last resort option and they didn’t want any of the parents to worry, so they didn't tell anyone anything. And it was better if it was kept that way. Akash was shocked to say the least.

Akash: And she agreed? You, yeah, to some extent I would have still believed. A small extent, but her, no.

Arnav: trust me, it wasn’t easy. But she did. On the condition that no one ever finds out. So please, just ... just... not a word.

Akash smiled and put his hand on his brother’s shoulder.

Akash: Bhai, if I have never told anyone about love youuuuuuuu, I mean you th... this you should know that you can trust me.

Arnav smiled and hugged his brother. He called it a night and went to his room. It was starting to get a bit hot, so he took off his shirt and slept in his vest (baniyain). Sometime later, Khushi abruptly woke up. She was sweating. She had seen a nightmare. That someone had found out, that her family back home found out. They were all disappointed with her. She tried to explain it to them, but she wasn’t able to. She turned around to look for Arnav to ask him to help make them understand, but he wasn’t there. She was alone.

She woke up and started to cry. She needed to be with Arnav. She needed to be in his arms. She needed him to make her feel safe. She got up, wiped her tears and went towards his room. She softly knocked on the door. He didn't answer. She quietly opened the door and went in. He was sleeping on his bed. She didn't want to wake him up. Just seeing him would have to do. As she was about to step out, Arnav woke up and turned around.

Arnav: Khushi, what happened? Are you ok?

Khushi: Arnav, Can i please, umm..main.. voh.. I ..

Arnav: come...

Khushi quietly walked up to his bed, keeping her gaze down. She was still crying. She picked up the sheets from the side. He knew she wasn’t ok. He just moved to the side and allowed her to come in. She pulled the sheets over her, He hugged her. She placed her hands on his chest and snuggled her head into the crook of his neck. She felt safe. She felt her worries slowly start to disappear. They both fell asleep, not realizing that Khushi hadn’t closed the door behind her.

The morning approached and Khushiand Arnav started to wake up. Akash was still sleeping luckily.

Khushi snuggled her head more into him as she started to wake up. She didn’t realize but her lips were now on his chest. As she snuggled her head more in, her lipstick left a mark on him. Even though Arnav was sleeping, he made sure to keep his arms tightly around her. He rested his head onto hers. Khushi opened her eyes and smiled. She tried to gently move without waking him up. But he did wake up.

Arnav: You ok? Is everything ok? Tum theek ho?

Khushi: hmm. Thanks. Voh.. um..sorry for last night. I just.. I needed you to hold me.

Arnav: always willing to do that.

He smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead. She smiled and closed her eyes. She then slowly opened them, and noticed what Arnav was wearing. She closed her eyes, sucked in her lips and turned her head a little away. Arnav was surprised, and then noticed what he was wearing and why she reacted like that.

Arnav: oh, um.. sorry. I was a bit hot last night. Sorry. Main voh.

Khushi turned her head the other way and started to blush. Arnav still didn’t let go of her. She tried to wiggle her way out, but to no avail.

Khushi: Arnav, janay do na. Please. I have an exam today. Please na...

Arnav sighed and let her go. She got up, fixed her kameez and was about to go out. Arnav opened his eyes and stopped her.

Arnav; Khushi, wait!

She stopped and turned around. He got up. She shyfully looked down, bit her bottom lip. He was still in his baniyain and started to walk towards her. He remembered that Akash was there, and she probably still didn't know. He quietly started to walk towards the door. He saw Akash wake up. He grabbed Khushi's hand and turned around. Now his back was to the door, and she was facing him. He pulled her closer.

Her hands were now on his chest and she looked down. Her heart was racing. Faster and Faster. What was he up to she thought. She gulped. He looked over his shoulder behind him. Akash was awake and walking towards his room. He pulled her closer. He had to make sure that she was covered. She didn't have her dupatta and she didn't know about Akash.

Khushi: Arnav what are you doing? Voh.. You’re not.. I mean. Your. Clothes.

Arnav: shhhh...

Khushi looked down and gulped. She looked up to meet his eyes. He turned his head around and looked at her. She looked mesmerizing first thing in the morning. He was lost for words. The way she looked into his eyes made him forget everything around him. He slowly brought up one hand and tucked in her wayward hair strands that were on her forehead, behind her ear. He gently caressed her cheek with that hand. She smiled, bit her bottom lip, closed her eyes and snuggled her cheek into his hand.

They heard a knock on the door. Khushi’s eyes immediately opened. Who was there in their dorm? Right now, this early in the morning? Arnav turned his head around and hugged her more tightly. Making sure that she wasn’t seen.

Akash: hey bhai,, good morning.

Arnav: Akash go and make me chai. Don’t come in, I am coming. Hmm.

Khushi was in shock. She immediately closed her eyes and put her head onto his chest. She tightly held onto the straps of his vest with her hands. Her head was racing. Faster and faster. She held her breath. Arnav understood her reaction and knew he had to do something. Akash peeked his head in and saw Khushi’s head behind Arnav’s shoulder. Arnav was in his camisole, and his arms were tightly wrapped around her. His eyes were left wide open. He felt a little embarrassed walking in on them like this.

Akash: oh. Shot. Sorry, I didn't know. Ahem. Chai, yes.

With that Akash left immediately. Arnav looked over his shoulder and made sure that Akash was gone. He moved one hand back and twisted his body enough that he was about to reach the door and close it. Khushi moved her head back. She looked petrified. Scared. Her eyes were becoming moist. Her hands were cold and shaking while they held onto his vest.

He looked at her and cupped her face. He led her to the bed and made her sit down. She put her hands down on the sides and looked at him.

Arnav: Don't worry. He surprised me here last night. Dad had sent him. So he could drive my car back. I didn't know. I swear. And I already spoke to him. I would have told you last night, but you were sleeping. Don’t worry. He understood and won’t say a word to anyone. I promise.

Khushi: Arnav, I am scared. I trust him, because you trust him. And I also trust him because he has always been there for us. Magar, I don't know why. I am scared. That is the nightmare I had last night, which is why I came. And... And.. I don't want anyone to know anything. About us. Please.

Arnav sighed. He understood her hesitation.

Arnav: I know. And I didn't know he was coming. Dad sent him. Don't worry.

He reassuringly looked at her and blinked his eyes. She closed her eyes and looked down. He placed his forehead on hers. They both needed a moment to get a hold on their worries and come to terms with the situation. Arnav moved back. He looked at her. She looked down. She didn't smile. He remembered her dupatta was not there.

Arnav: wait here.

He got up, closed the door behind him and went to her room, got a dupatta and came back out. Akash noticed this. He turned his head around again. Facing the other way. If his brother walked by and didn't acknowledge him, then that meant that he was not to notice. Arnav went to his room and gave Khushi the dupatta. He closed the door behind him.

Arnav: You have an exam. You need to focus on that right now. Right?

She sighed and nodded her head. She stood up, put on her dupatta, while Arnav got a shirt and put that on. He held onto her hand and they both went outside. He led her to the kitchen. The sooner they faced Akash, the less awkward it would be.

Arnav: good morning. Chai ready?

Akash nodded, while still looking the other way. He still felt a little embarrassed. Khushi looked at Arnav. She understood why he brought her to see Akash first. She was not just his friend, but she was also his bhabhi now. And making sure that all the family felt ok with each other was now their responsibility. Arnav looked at her. They both smiled.

Khushi: good Morning Angraiz.

Akash turned his head around and smiled.

Akash: good morning. Sorry about..ahem.

Arnav: it's all good. If the chai is ready, mind if we just grab a cup. She has an exam that she needs to get to soon.

Akash: I think that is why I came. Right. To make chai.

Khushi: Thanks. Umm. Akash. Voh. This.. I mean. Living.. um. Voh..

Akash smiled.

Akash: I have no idea what you are talking about desi girl. You can trust me.

Khushi smiled back. Got her cup and went to get ready for her exam.

Akash: umm, bhai, sorry for walking in on your two like that. I saw the door open and I.. sorry.

Arnav smiled and replied: it's ok. So when are you driving the car back? I know that Khushi leaves tonight. I have to leave tomorrow evening. I need to make sure all of my stuff is packed by then.

Akash: Tonight. I need to be back by tomorrow evening.

Arnav: oh. Ok, I will see what I can do.

Khushi walked outside with her bag so she could go and write her exam.

Khushi: You can do your studying for your exam tomorrow, and I will finish off the packing tonight. Don't worry. Before my flight.

They all smiled at each other. Arnav and Akash both wished her good luck and she left. Arnav went to his room, while Akash started to help him with his packing. Khushi came back to the dorm with a smile. Her exams went well and she had to finish Arnav’s packing and hers. Arnav was sent to the library while Akash and Khushi both finished off the work. Khushi was hoping that Arnav would come back a little early, so she could spend some time with him before she flew back. But Arnav had lost track of time while studying.

Precap: Uh Oh!!!! maha twist! Big big maha twist! Any guesses!!!!!!!! (hint hint, Akash is good!)
