#20 in Short Story

Khushi's POV

Eekks!
I am just so reliefed.
It has been half an hour we are here in Shantivan still that Laad Governor didn't honour us with his presence.

Just keep him busy in any of his official work. Devi Maiya, Devi Maiya, please.

What the!

Just now, I asked to keep him busy in work and here he is descending the stairs.

Not fair.

Hey Devi Maiya, Are you angry as I ate all of yesterday's jalebi without offering you even a bit?

Trust me Devi Maiya, I did not want to do that but then I was hungry, I was confused and I was busy in over-thinking about this Laad Governor who is like always wearing his waiter waala dress.

Huh! The so-called three-piece suit whose coat is almost thrown and he roams around wearing that Half-coatie looking like a, err, an epitome of perfection, sexy, hunky, chocolaty, jalebi, aaloo, purii,

Nooooooooooooo.

No, no, no, no, no.

Looking like a waiter, waiter, waiter.

Yes.

Huh, Devi Maiya, along with my dhak-dhak and acidity, I have started feeling a weird craving to eat him. He looks like my jalebi to me but I don't want to eat him actually. Its actually just that he tempts me like jalebi. He looks so, so, so edible.

Ugh!

First thing first, I am going to visit a nutrionatist, yea, I guess that's what that kind of doctor is called.

I will go, meet that doctor and cure myself before I actually end up eating this edible Laad Governor.

No, I won't eat him. Who will eat a bitter person with sugar ki bimari, muft, muft, muft? (Diabetes, free, free, free?)

Oh God!
This Hunky Laad Governor is staring so intensely like he wants to eat me as well.

Hawwwwwh!
If, it is like that then I need to take him to that doctor as well.
Tsk, tsk, but I don't have that much money for checkup of both of us.

Okk, I will sell my bangles once again.

But, I want both of us fine.

Hey Devi Maiya, be with us.

Arnav's POV

What the!

Why is this weird creature staring at me like this, with red nose, pink lips, vanilla cheeks and err.

Somebody please, please tell her not to look like this before I end up eating her, please.

F**k, this NK, seriously.

Lool at the way he is staring at My Edible.

What the, he is making his way towards her.

No, No I won't let this happen.

Neither I would let NK and my Sankadevi close nor will I let di talk with the Guptas.

But, why?
Why does it matters to me?

Why am I so scared to loose her?

Is it that I, um, I am attracted to her?

No, but I hate her. She irritates me. She infuriated me.

Ugh!
Whatever it is, I can't deny that she affects me, affects me to the point Where I found her as my only sanity, only peace and only solace.

Hell, what are you upto Khushi Kumari Gupta?
What are you doing to me?

And thid NK, look how shamelessly he is sitting beside her, chatting and laughing. I wish to wipe off that irritating smile from his face and this Khushi, how dare she talk so comfortably and laugh so openly with him?

I need to teach them both a lesson and I exactly know what I have to do.

You are bound to me Khushi, only me I won't let you hop out of my life like you always do in whole house like a little rabbit.

You have to be with me for the sake of my SANITY.

Pov ends.

Arnav eyed NK and Khushi who seemed to be lost in their own world and then at his di who was looking at him and gesturing how cute they both look together.

Gritting his teeth, he stood gaining everyone's attention. NK stopped whatever he was saying while Khushi started fidgeting with her dupatta and the whole family could only stare at Arnav with their mouth slightly open as he was dangerously making his way towards Khushi with his eyes solely focused upon her.

Next moment he caught hold of his hand, startling and panicking her and made her stand up. She was gulping nervously with quivering lips and shivering form. She looked here and there only to find everyone's eyes focused exclusively on them.

He smirked inwardly noticing every fact and then turning towards his family said-

I have planned something for Akash and Payal and for that I need Payal's sister aka Khushi's help.

While Akash and Payal shied away Khushi became more and more nervous.

So, pardon us people, we have to leave and before you rant-up di, we will be back before your puja starts.

He announced while Anjali showed her full teeth.

Areey Chote, I didn't even say anything. You want Khushiji's help for your brother and sister-in-law then you are more than welcome. Go, go, we don't have any issues.

Anjali said merrily hi-fing her filmy mind. She knew she had hit at the right place. She knew now her chote won't sit silent. He would definitely give Khushi a hint, a hope.

Smirking at her ASRish brain she winked at nani.

No doubt, Anjali's happiness knew no bound after her this very first victory, the actual trouble was for Khushi.

Planning with Laad governor, all alone, with his glaring eyes, flared nose and what the.

Ohh! Where is she stuck. What would he do?
Ahh! Or other important certain, what would she should?

Whenever, they be together and alone, either they end-up fighting or hurting each other.

But, these days, the Laad Governor Arnavji has changed so much, he offers help, he talks politely, he even smiles.

And nowadays he has been extremly polite and caring and what was that look he gave me when he came and held my hand as if I am his possessive. I belong to him. I am his.

I am his, ohh! Why this sentence feels so soothing?

What do I feel about it?
What do I feel about him?
More importantly, what does he feel about me?

Hey Devi Maiya!
Its high-time I seek the answers for this brain-banging question.

I highly need to and I will.

Determined she followed Arnav towards his car.

Time to have a questionaire with this Harvard Return.

To be continued..

Wait, wait, I have a SURPRISEEEEEEEEEE.

Okk, so, as the update is actually really late, you would be getting the next one really quick.

Yea, like really quick, means by evening.
