She grinned battling her eyelashes at him and rasped dramatically-

Ohh!
I knew my chote won't leave me alone.

His flaring of nose was an indication for him to stop her mushiness to which she slowly decreased her grin but she couldn't help when she found Arnav picking up her luggage and walking.

Aww, my psycho gentleman. She cooed wounding her both arms in his left one while Arnav could just stare at her.

This much of trust and comfort in less than half an hour, she has on him, still, she won't marry. What a shitty mess!

Groaning, he stopped walking making her frown and growled-

This is so freaking mess. I can't believe it. I have run-away from my own wedding that too with my bride who won't marry me.

And I couldn't or can't do anything about it.

Khushi did felt bad for her chote, pouting she moved her arms on his biceps in a shooting manner and said-

Aww, don't be sad Chote.
Just look at the bright side. When you will grow old with no teeth and no hairs, no-no, I don't like bald hunkies, so, when you will grow old with no teeth but enough of hairs and would recite to your grandchildren how you met an angel before their grandmother.
Won't it be exciting?

Arnav's lips twiched in high annoyance and shrugging off her hold, he enquired-

Have you ever consulted any psychiatrist?

Khushi opened her mouth wide while he snarled-

You surely need one.

She eyed him angrily with her hands on her hips but then couldn't help and drool upon his hairy chest while he opened the top buttons of his sherwani saying-

Its so freaking hot!

While Arnav was busy cussing over any and every thing, Khushi was no ears and was completely drown in her guttery thoughts. His bare, on sight, hairy chest, surely had knocked out her senses.

Uhh, Hunky is feeling hot? Ohh God!  One thing Lavanya was correct about is he would be damn dominant in the bed.

Eekks! Bad Khushi, don't think like that about YOUR hunky. Remember your mission. Focus Focus.

Her murmurs did reach her Hunky's ears who turned towards her and making a confusing face asked-

What?

To which, with her wide-eyes and chewing lips, she answered-

N-nothing.

They started walking when something striked Harvard Chote brain.

He looked at her who had difficulty in walking while carrying that heavy lengha and asked-

So, where did you plan to go after running away, alone?

That brought twinkling smile on her face and with a dreamy expression, she said-

Well, I had planned to eat lots and lots of street foods and waste the time and go back home before 12,so that I could cuddle my teddy and sleep.

Aghast!

Being aghast with the weirdest creature, he staggered back and asked with a pissed off mind-

Then, why this luggage and t-this teddy?

Hitting her forehead disappointed with her plams and wounding her hands with his, taking him by surprise, the Sankadevi enlightened her Csaid-

Uff-ho Chote, you haven't watched any Bollywood masala fim, have you?

He eyed her in anger to which she chided making her face-

Yea, why will you, when you had others things to oogle and entertain you there, back at Havard.

Whatever.

This is to emotionally blackmail my family. I would go back and say that I couldn't be alone without them. I will too full-on acting and they would shower me with their kisses, love and finally accept me.

And then I will eat all the varieties of food prepared for the wedding.

Unable to hear, more of her craziness, he shrugged her arms and started walking to which she ran behind him shouting-

Uffo!
Where are you going?
Its not over yet.

Chote, choteeeeeeeee.

And then reaching in front of him, held his sherwani as a result making the first button come off.

Stop it! He groaned to which she smiled sheepishly and with an attempt to control her laugh nodded her head and he vent out his frustation some more when she again tried to hold his hand.

Listen, don't mess with me right now.

We are here in between of the main road in this freaking Sherwani and lehgha and their, our family would have been sick worried till now.

I don't understand I could you be such a stupid person.

Instead of talking to me for once, you waited for this day, and for what?

First to run away on your own without thinking about your family and your image and then after meeting me, tagging me along with you as well.

Then he looked at her who was busy pouting without an ounce of guilt and melting some in her innocence, he said-

And as you are too dumb and innocent, I had to follow you and now instead of dragging you back with ruthlessness, here am I, lecturing you.

And then a

What the!

Escaped his mouth, seeing her on the verge of crying, she made a crying

Aaa..

And before she could burst into cry, he pleaded-

Okk, stop crying.

She sniffled like a baby and complained with a sad pout-

You scolded me. I won't talk to you and I can take care of myself, go back and do whatever you want.

She started walking and he voiced out an exhausted

Khushiiiiiiiiii..

And found her running to which hus worried

Don't run in that heavy bridal dress dammit!

Came and next second she was in her arms as she was actually going to fall.

Her quivering lips said how frightened she was and despite the fact, Arnav had an urge to kiss the hell out of her. Gulping his desire, he scolded again-

Careful, you would have fallen down.

Straightening her and then himself, he threw his head back and with irkness said-

Ugh!  I already pity myself, what if I had actually married you?

I would have to babysit you instead of baby making.

Though Arnav had voiced out it in irritation, it made the Sankadevi hell shy who laughed rather in a funny way and said-

Choteeeeeeeee
You are so shameless.

And the moment Arnav realised what he had said and thought to clear the auckwardness, his eyes widened as he saw Khushi squeaking, shouting and running.

Eekks!
Chote, that's panipuri.
Ohh my God!
I was so hungry.
Come naa, let's eat.
Come, come.

Having no other option as he was being dragged, he reached the Panipuri stall with him and the moment Khushi trued to stuff his mouth with a chilli filled Panipuri of her taste, he shrieked in horror-

What?
No. That's so unhygenic.

Shut up and follow me! She said and stuffed the Panipuri one in his and other in her mouth.

Beside the fact, that the panipuri was spicier than his taste buds could take, he kept chewing on it in his dazed state, while ASR mind flipped making Arnav's heart frown.

Glaring at a stupid Arnav chewing on the panipuri he grumbled-

What the, why am I so captivated with this girl?

She is literally making me dance on her finger.

Ugh!  I hate this.

As soon as he said this the heart poked his finger to the brain and  with a dreamy look said-

But she is so cute and innocent.

And then with the saddest tone thought-

Why would she not want to marry me?

Chote. Where are you lost? Khushi said in betweem chewing the panipuri.

And getting no response other than a hungry, dreamy stare, she said-

Chote. Stop staring at me. Its so auckward.

Why don't you want to marry me Khushi?

He asked suddenly loosing every damn patience making the panipuri fall from her and then only the Panipuri stall owner knew for how long they kept staring at each other.

Will she now reveal about her reason, not to marry?
