TS - MINE(WILL YOU MARRY ME?)

Second Shot:

It was second day evening,

A man entered his cabin…

“Jijaji” asked a surprised Arnav…

Hearing him calling someone, Khushi turned her head only to find her fiance standing at the door…

Shyam was shocked finding Khushi in Arnav’s cabin…

“jijaji Please come in” said Arnav…

“Jijaji?” whispered Khushi..

“Khushi… this is my Di’s husband..” Introduced Arnav…

Khushi came out her shock and reluctantly greeted him…

Shyam to came entered after composing himself..

Khushi felt his gaze on her, she felt disgusted herself…

“I’m going to designing section to check materials” saying Khushi left the cabin.. she was almost running..

Arnav looked at her thinking, “ What happened to her now?”

But brushing his thoughts aside…

“Tell Me jijaji.. what brought you here?” asked Arnav..

Shyam’s thought was entirely on Khushi… He was afraid of her reaction..

“Nothing Sala Sahab.. I came this way.. Just thought to see you..nothin” said Shyam stammering…

Arnav felt it was odd for him to stammer…

“Ok Jijai… Shall I order something?”

“No SS.. I have work.. let me take your leave”

“Ok Jijaji” said Arnav with frown..

Shyam quickly got out of his cabin and strode towards designing section in search of Khushi…

There, Khushi was burning in rage, gripping the material in her tight fist almost crushing it…

“Khushiji?” called Shyam…

Khushi turned towards him, her eyes were burning  in rage.. She resembled the goddess Durga with her red eyes, and red outfit..

Khushi marched to him and gave a tight slap on his cheek, followed by numerous one…

“Khushiji” said Shyam holding his burning cheek..

“Shut up.. dont even say my name from you filthy mouth” roared Khushi…

Shyam was shocked seeing her rage.. She was looking like THE GREAT ASR IN ANGER.

“Khu..” started but was stopped by another slap..

“Not a word from you mouth” said Khushi…

Then, she removed the ring, in the process hurting her finger nd throw it on his face and shouted.. “GET LOST”

“Kh”

“MOVE OUT OF HERE…”

Shyam signing moved out the room..

Arnav who came after shyam thinking to check on Khushi, saw everything.. He was confused seeing Khushi slapping his jijaji.. A girl who never tried hurting anyone was in this much anger…

He wanted to ask her, what happened… but he dont know how to.. He saw a drop of blood oozing out her finger..

“Khushi” called Arnav..

Hearing his voice, Feeling his concern and her feelings for him, Khushi ran towards him, hugged him tightly as if her life was depending on him…

Arnav was startled. He slowly entered the room with Khushi in his arms, closing the door behind him…

“Khushi… What Happened?.. Why are you crying?.. Tell me” asked Arnav..

But KHushi was crying keeping her head on the crook of his neck… Her lips was on his neck, but Arnav didn’t find it to be so intimate.. All he has in his mind was his Khushi was hurt…

Khushi was trying to control her sobs… She held Arnav’s flesh about his shirt with her teeth to control her cries, not knowing she was hurting…

Arnav closed his eyes in pain.. He didn’t hiss, because he knows if he did, Khushi will move away from him and also she wont release her anger and pain..

Khushi’s teeth was digging on his neck,  her cries were muffled under his neck… Arnav tightens his grip on her waist…

A drop of blood came out  of his skin was visible through the white shirt she was wearing.. then only Khushi realised what she was doing.. She released her teeth.. She tried moving out, but his grip of her body didnt let her…

Khushi’s eyes fell on the blood, she slowly unbutton the top three buttons of Arnav’s shirt. Arnav held her hand trying to stop her innocent moves. But Khushi was Khushi, when she heard Arnav’s word. She slowly slip the shirt from his shoulder, only to see her teeth mark clearly visible with some patches of blood. She moved her head towards the mark and unknowingly started sucking the blood… Arnav closed his eyes feeling his lips on her, He fisted his hands trying to control his emotions. His knees weakens...

Arnav sat down on the floor taking Khushi in his arms and leaned on the door… She stopped only when she confirmed that there was not more blood coming out if his skin

Khushi just remained in his arms, rubbing her face on his neck…

“Tell me Khushi… Tell me everything.. I saw what happened between you and Jijaji” said Arnav with closed eyes…

Khushi lifted her head from his neck, still sitting on his lap and looked at him… She knows he was her saviour, so she started narrating everything what happened after the fashion show incident…

When she finished saying, She felt her cheeks were drenched.. but she knows it was not her tears, she looked up only to find tears were flowing from his closed eyes…

She knows she did hurt him, she tried getting up, but Arnav didn’t let her.. He kept her in his arms and said, “I will take care of everything”

This confirms Khushi, that he didn’t misunderstand her, her laad governor trusted her…

She felt happy even in that sadness…

Though  Arnav was composed, his heart was feeling miserable. he don’t know how to release his anger, as he can;t show this on Khushi, when she herself was wounded…

Khushi knew Arnav was not himself… His calm demeanor was creating fear inside her heart… She wanted him to let out his pain…

Khushi was his face for a minute, she silently took her head near his and place her lips on him…

Arnav opened his eyes in shock.. He saw her lips on him doing nothing… He looked at her closed eyes with some tear drops… He knows she doesn’t know what to do… He don’t even know whether she was willing or doing this for him…

But his doubt was answered when her hands clutched his shirt lapel… His other hand went towards the back of his neck, gripping the hairs in her hands…

Arnav closed his eyes and started Kissing her.... Their tears were mixing with each other… The kiss of was not of Passion, Lust, Desire, Not even a love. It was of togetherness… silently sealing that they will be together……....

They don’t know for how long they had kissed, after what felt like ages, they parted their lips…

Arnav kept his head on hers, both were breathing heavily…

After a minute or two, Khushi understood the mistake she had committed.. Her eyes widened in shock.. She tried getting of his hold.. she was struggling.. Arnav was confused with her behaviour…

“Khushi?”

Khushi looked up at him, tears were flowing..

“I’m sorry Arnavji”

“Sorry?.. But Why?”

“Lavanyaji… You…. Me” Khushi stammered…

Arnav understood her plight and whispered, “ Me and Lavanya broke off yesterday”

“What?”

“yes.. We broke off..”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to spoil her life”

“How?”

“I don’t love her”

“WHATTT”

“Yes.. I don’t love her.. She understood that and we broke off”

Khushi opened her mouth but stopped feeling Arnav’s finger on her lips…

“Ssshhh…… Not now.. Please” Arnav said again pulling her in hug…

Khushi lost the battle and hugged him back.... Both knows what they did.. but none of them wanted to speak about that.

After few minutes, they come out of their hug and looked at each other.... Their reaction can never be described with words… It has love, pain, anger, frustration, helplessness and their vulnerability…

They silently moved out of the room not speaking or exchanging a word between them…

As usual Arnav dropped her home at evening.
