Heyy Gurlzz,😊
And think not you can Direct the course of love,For love,If it finds you worthy,Directs your course.

I loved the first segment, The CV's kept Arnav in character by continuing to keep him occupied with conference yet kept showing the metamorphosis he is undergoing through the Pot , Mud and Diya scene ...What a rich scene that was , here comes ASR, A machine talking on a Machine , fully occupied with his business with no Diwali spirit of family, when his eyes alights on a trail,A trail of dust, could it be a cosmic dust, may be..a curious ASR follows the trail where to his complete astonishment, he finds a Nymph, apparently playing with the soil in which he had sown the seeds , seeds of hope, seeds of love, seeds of optimism, seeds of trust ..With increasing amazement, Arnav stands right in the middle of this beauty's path, Alarmed , the young lass lets fly the soil which flies into the air and falls on her eyes ..
The soul that can speak through the eyes can also kiss with a gaze. ~Gustavo Adolfo Becquer
The high strung lass tries unsuccessfully to remove the dirt, when in steps sir Galahad , he gallantly guides her to a chair, he leans forward , intent on destroying every smote of dust that dared to hurt his precious one .. A action which impels a delicate Khushi backwards, Arnav stops , stays still.. soothed by his stillness, Khushi slowly inches towards her destiny Arnav again, her limpid eyes holding complete trust in him.. softly begins to blow air on to her eyes to ease the irritation, but this simple action has totally different consequence, instead of easing, this soft blowing of air stokes the flames of passion , the fire begins to burn brightly , Khushi closes her eyes in ecstasy , Arnav senses this change, he gulps trying to control his own rampant emotion but is not entirely successful, the hand which was dusting away the dust slowly turns into a gentle caress, the eyes intent on cleaning the soil slowly turns mesmerized.He gazes at his beloved's face, his eyes roaming all over her face, etching and marking each and every planes of her face, drawing portrait of her face, the face across which million's of emotions are exploding like a tiny stars on his heart, his intense gaze burns her visage into his very soul Arnav begins to caress his nimble fingers along her eyes , fondles her wayward hair, languorously putting it away behind khushi's ears... meanwhile Khushi is quivering like a leaf about to be blown away in autumn breeze ...HE has removed all the traces of dust yet is curiously reluctant to let go of Khushi's hand, A hand which he seems to have clasped for eternity, Arnav lifts his hand to caress the wayward tendril of her tress , atendril which has dared to escape the confines of its mistress attempts at confinement ..when Khushi is pulled back from the soaring heights, she opens her eyes , quickly looking at the hand that is possessively touching her, turns to look at him ..
"A portion of your soul has been entwined with mine.A gentle kind of togetherness, while separate we stand.As two trees deeply rooted in separate plots of ground,While their topmost branches come together,forming a miracle of lace against the heavens."
~ Janet Miles (details unknown)
Sanity seeps in, Arnav becomes conscious of his actions, he stops his stroking, lets his hands down, lets go of her hand , the hand which Khushi still holds up as iif never wanting to escape from his captive arms..a Khushi who had been in a state of bliss opens her entranced eyes and looks at him..unable to withstand her eyes and the emotions present in them,... he walks away two paces, allowing her and himself enough space to move away if they were so inclined but both unable to turn away from each other completely ... both stay put, unable to escape and a prisoner's of their emotions, an emotions from which try to escape not knowing that the emotions does not exist outside and is within them and that it has seared them , leaving a mark on them permanently, which may fade but can never be erased ..The Mark of Love !!
