BONUS CHAPTER 3
Hey guys, I know I have finished Khushi and Aarav's story. Honestly, its just too many books and not enough time. Enjoy guys!(BTW- Aarav is a year elder, he is already 18)
Aarav's POV
Asram Uncle started driving, Aditya uncle sat in the passenger seat and I sat in the back. I knew that both of them were looking at me. Despite my nerves, I didn't let it show. One thing I realized about Asram uncle was he liked confidence and hated weakness. We drove for 25 minutes and reached a bar. A bar??? Why did they bring me here?
'Let's go Aarav' Uncle said opening his car door and stepping out. I nodded and followed what they said. We entered and sat on the bar stools. They started talking to me casually and ordered drinks for all of us. After a drink I stopped.
'Why aren't you having more? Can't hold your liquor?' Aditya Uncle asked.
'No uncle, nothing like that, I can hold my liquor very well, but I don't like drinking too much, plus the last time I did Khushi didn't talk to me for a week. So, I can't have more uncle, you'll enjoy' I replied firmly yet politely.
'Oh I see' Asram uncle said, but his eyes seemed to have softened when I mentioned Khushi. I wasn't saying that to flatter him, but honestly, 1 week without talking to her is hell.
I saw uncle using his phone and then he said something about having to attend a call, he excused himself and went out since there was alot of noise inside. Aditya uncle said he'd be back in a minute, he just needed to use the loo. I was sitting alone at the bar, I was thinking about where I would go with Khushi once uncle finally approved when I felt something on my thigh. It was a hand, definitely a girl's hand by the looks of it. I pushed it off and turned to see some random girl. Her face was caked with makeup and she had worn some skimpy neon dress.
'Hey handsome' she said placing her hand on my chest. I am not sure she is even legally an adult. I pushed her hand off me, maybe if I don't talk she'll go away, I thought to myself.
'Handsome, wanna go to my place' she said moving closer to me, whispering in my ear. I guess that was meant to be sexy, but it just made me uncomfortable.
'Not interested, don't you get it, when a person doesn't respond to all your desperate tries, he is just not interested. I am committed, I love someone else, just get away and don't annoy me' I responded, irritated now. How could she not see when someone was not interested. Plus I hated any girl other then Khushi near me. Not that I didn't respect women, but I believe that they need to have self-respect and walk away in such situations instead of throwing themselves at guys. And there was an extent to my politeness. She turned around sharply and walked out of the place. I turned back to the bar. A second later the seat beside me was taken. I turned to see Asram uncle.
'I don't like you because my daughter likes you and I am jealous that I am not the only man in her life, but I approve, you are good for her' he told me.
'But you didn't test me uncle' I told him a little confused.
'He did, that girl who came up to you was sent by him, and he checked how you control your liquor' Aditya uncle said from behind as he walked over and sat on the other side.
'As hard it is to say this, I approve too' he said. I smiled, finally I could date Khushi.
'Thank you' I said. We spoke for some more time before uncle drove us back.
'Aarav are you up for some fun?' Uncle asked me.
'Uh...sure' I replied not very sure of what uncle had in mind. He grinned before telling me the plan. I smiled back and nodded agreeing.
We entered the house and everyone looked at our faces. We had composed ourselves and now had poker faces.
'So...what happened?' Akshita aunty asked.
'Asram bhai and Aarav had a fight, and Asram didn't accept Aarav, now princess you can't talk to Aarav according to your deal with your dad' Aditya uncle said. I saw her face fall, it was hopeful earlier, but now it was clearly devastated.
'Why? What did you'll fight about' she asked softly as tears trickled down her face.
'Men's talk, we can't tell you princess' uncle responded softly. I wish I could just go upto her and hug her tight and tell her we were playing around. I looked at uncle and saw him looking at me, both of us were thinking the same thing, prank abort. But before we could say anything Khushi ran away. Everyone looked for her and said that she was missing but I knew where she was.
'Uncle, I know where she is, can I go there. I'll tell her everything and I want to propose her too, can I ?' I asked uncle once again.
'Yes you can, but how do you know with so much certainty where she is?' he asked me a little perplexed.
'I know her' I replied smiling. He nodded and I made my way to the backyard. They had a huge lawn, so I walked across all of that and found Khushi just where I expected her to be. She was sitting on one of the branches of the huge oak tree. I climbed up and just sat beside her.
'Why did you fight with dad, you should have just quietly listened to him, then maybe we could have been together' she said softly still crying.
'Well princess, what if I tell you that your dad and I were just messing around with you' I told her.
'I don't believe you' she told me.
'Ouch that hurts, but okay fine, call your dad' I said pointing at her phone. She did as I asked and put it on speaker just as he picked up.
'Uncle, your daughter refuses to believe me so I got her to call you, can you please tell her what actually happened' I told uncle. He chuckled and narrated what actually happened before hanging up. Khushi hugged me tight before she pulled away and slapped me.
'You know how worried I was, how could you play with me' she said kissing the same place slapped. I just grinned and hugged her tight before pulling away. Both of us got back to the ground. I looked at her for one second before I got down to my knee.
'The next time I go down on my knee will be to ask you to be my wife, but for now, will you be my girlfriend? The last time I tried this, 3 years back your condition was that both our parents should approve, now that they do will you agree jaan, be my girl?' I asked her holding her hand
'Yes' she whispered and I quickly got up and spun her around. I put her down and slowly placed my lips on hers. She happily responded, both of us still smiling.
'Turn around' I whispered, she did as I said. I pulled out the necklace I had in my pocket. I placed it on her neck and clipped it.
'It's that one isn't it' she said, recalling when I bought it.
---Flashback 3 years ago----
School trip to Shimla
We were are walking around shopping for our families, when I saw a jewellery shop. I walked in and noticed a beautiful necklace with a single pearl in the middle. I placed my hand on it just as another person placed their hand on it.
'I am buying it' Khushi said.
'No, I am' I had responded.
'Who are you even buying it for? Or are you buying it for yourself, just FYI, it won't suit you' she said sassily.
'I am buying it for my future wife, any problem?' I replied arrogantly.
'Your future wife will be mental to marry you, please get her to meet me, I really wanna meet the person who decides to spend the rest of their life with you' she had said smirking.
'Fine you can take it' she conceded breaking our staring match and walking away to see another set.
---Flashback over----
'I guess you just have to look in the mirror to meet the gone-case that will marry me future wifey' I told her. She blushed beautifully. We walked back inside, smiling, with our hands inter-twinned. We spent the rest of the day enjoying ourselves with her family. I bid everyone good-bye and Khushi said she would walk me out. Everyone nodded and dispersed, heading back to their rooms.
'Bye love' I told her once we reached my car. She smiled and hugged me. I reciprocated placing my hands around her waist. I kissed her forehead before pulling away.
'I am taking you for that date next Saturday' I told her with a wink before I drove away smiling, she was finally mine.
