HAPPY 7th ANNIVERSARY IPKKNDians 

Next day, Arnav and Arvind went to the restaurant at evening. They sat on their usual spot.

"Haiii uncle...haiii Arnav" Khushi came there and was feeling little shyness.

"I'm happy for both of you." arvind told her, and Khushi looked at Arnav.
Beta...can you have dinner without? I mean if you are free..."
"Sure uncle, all the customers already went away and it's just me and some other workers."
Khushi sat next to Arnav. Arvind asked Khushi about her parents' reaction. She was talking about that when Arnav held her right hand under the table. She started to have food with left hand while trying to free her right hand from his hold.
"Beta, why are you eating with left hand?" Arvind asked.
"Woh...kaam....yeah...work...because of work... I'm having pain on my right hand....that's why."
"It will be difficult to eat with left hand. Arnav, feed Khushi bitiya...she is finding it hard to have food." Arvind instructed him.
"Is it paining a lot Khushi?"
"No... Mom will massage it...it happens often." Khushi said with an angry face.

Arnav started feeding Khushi while Arvind was concentrating on his food. Arnav was touching her lips intentionally along with lit squeezing her hand. Khushi was feeling so many feelings at a time....
After finishing the food Arvind went to washroom and Arnav stole a kiss at that time. Khushi blushed looking here and there.
"Arnav, what was that..?"
"What??? You mean the kiss?? It was just to make us equal."
"Equal???"
"Yup...yesterday you pecked on my cheek and I couldn't return that kiss...so now I returned that kiss."
"Then you should have kissed me on the cheek."
"OK...." saying this he kissed her cheek and he eyes got wide open seeing his act.
"Now give me my kiss back?"
"Which kiss?"
"Your cheek kiss got settled, but what about the kiss I gave you on your lips.... So give that back to me."
"No...I can't..."
"Where is that girl who kissed me yesterday."
Khushi blushed recalling their kissing session.
"Don't worry ...you can give that later... "Arnav winked at her
Khushi have never seen this side of Arnav and she likes it.
Arvind came back and they were all decent again.

*****
Arnav made Arvind sit properly in the car and came near Khushi.
"Khushi....I want to ask you something?"
"What is it Arnav?"
"Will you come for a date with me?"
Khushi blushed and nodded her head
"What does that means?" Arnav asked her.
'I will come with you Arnav."
"OK...this Sunday...I will pick you up."
"OK...I'm looking forward to it" Khushi said with a smile.

Arnav brought her hand near to his mouth and kissed on the back of her hand.

Sunday,
Arnav have already asked her to wear something comfortable and casual. Khushi was excited, trying out each and every dress from her wardrobe. Finally Arnav came to pick her up.

"You look beautiful Khushi." Arnav commented.

"You are also looking good."

They entered the car and started the journey.
"Where are you taking me Arnav???"
"It's a surprise."
"At least give me a hint....please."

"No....but I hope that you like it...it's something which I wanted to try but didn't get an opportunity."
Finally they arrived the destination
"Arnav....I never thought that you will take me here...I mean here!!! I loved it...."
"Have you visited any other parks?"
"Yup....I was small...may be 10 or 11...me ...papa...Amma...khush went to a park, but that was small" Khushi told him remembering those moment.
"Arnav what if someone identify you... It may affect your reputation. I mean being here with me..."
Arnav smiled at her concern
"I have already taken care of that...don't worry."
"How? Are you going to wear a fake moustache and beard?"
Arnav started laughing at her silly thought
"Arnav I'm serious...."
"Omg Khushi... I thought only my dad ask such weird questions.... Now you too."
Khushi punched him.
"Go and enjoy yourself ...I'm not coming out of this car."
"Then I'm also not going out...let's stay here..."

Saying this Arnav started humming
"Hum tum ek gaddi mein bhand ho..aur chabbi kho jaye..."
Khushi started laughing....
"Khushi, Now come with me... I have taken care of everything, unless you want to stay inside the car." Arnav winked at her
Khushi stepped out of the car.
When they entered the amusement park, Khushi was confused.
"Arnav... Is this park closed today? I mean nobody is here."
"Yeah...it's kind of off today..."
"Then how will we get into rides....?"
"They are running every rides today."
Khushi looked at Arnav and realized something
"Arnav....you didn't...omg... seriously....I mean...."
"Khushi.... Relax...it's nothing... I just want to spend a day with you without any worries..."
"But Arnav why are you spending so much of money.... I know that you are rich... all these are very big thing for me."
"Khushi...I didn't do this to show you how much rich I'm...it is a part of your safety... Khushi this media and everything is so heart less...if they saw you with me...they can write any crap about you and me. They won't even let you live in peace.... I'm not saying that my reputation is bad...it's just you know how this media works. I don't want you to think about this. Enjoy the rest of the day with me, that's what I'm asking for." Arnav said holding her hand.
"Ok...Lets go and have fun." Khushi said with a wide smile.
They had a blast....tried every rides, screamed throughout together in the rollercoaster. In some rides Khushi will clench Arnav's hand hard. She took crazy selfies, made Arnav make some weird expression as a part of her selfies and filters much to his displeasure. They teased and chased each other. Arnav kissed her as they roamed in the park.
They shared a big cotton candy...
It was like both of them got their childhood back and finally they were in the giant wheel.
When it reaches on top...it stopped
"Arnav...this giant wheel got jammed ....how are we gonna escape from here....?"
"Then let's stay here till they fix it."
"But what if it takes time?" Khushi started panicked
"Relax Khushi....take a deep breath, look outside and enjoy the view."
That's when Khushi noticed the view
"This is soooo beautiful...."
"Yeah...so beautiful..." Arnav said looking at Khushi which she noticed.
"Arnav...hmm do you find me beautiful.... What I mean...."
"Khushi.... For me ...You are the most beautiful girl inside and out... I love your eyes... Its keep drawing me to you..." H said and placed kisses on her eyes
"Your nose... a cute little nose... that nose pin gives extra beauty to it." Another kiss on her nose
"Then your cheeks.... If I get a chance I will keep on kissing it..." *kisses*
"Then your...." Arnav lightly touched her lips with his fingers and Khushi was already in his trance
"May I ????" Arnav asked and Khushi keep on looking at his lips, slowly lean forward.
The giant wheel started moving again and Arnav withdrawn from that kiss.
"So now you tell me...do you find yourself beautiful now." Khushi smiled and nodded her head
They were moving to the top again... Khushi pulled Arnav for a kissed which was unexpected. They came out of the kiss when they were nearing to the ground. Khushi hugged him as soon as she withdrawn from the kiss
"Khushi...what was that????"
"Can't I kiss you???"
"Yeah....you can kiss me as much as you want...."
"No...no...that kiss was for the pending kiss you left last time..."
"Ohh...so this was a pending kiss...then what about the kisses I gave you now...they r also pending from your side...."
"I'm not going to return that kiss...."
"I will collect that later."
They step down from the giant wheel.
They moved to the gaming area...
"Come on Arnav let's play." Khushi said to him seeing the balloon shooting game. She played it first and got a small gift, which she gifted to Arnav.
"This is for me....?"
"Yup... I already decided that if I get something from this game...it will be a gift for you....but didn't thought that this will be the item. I mean it is no use for you..." she said looking at the soft toy with embarrassed.
"I loved this gift...and I'm gonna name her as Khushi....and she will keep my company when you are not with me." She smiled and blushed.
Arnav tried but didn't won the game.
"Its OK Arnav."
Arnav was sad that he could win anything for her
and went to the next ride. When the ride started moving Khushi kissed him hard....
"Now don't be sad.... I took my gift..." Khushi said with a smile
"Should I give you some more gifts like this???
"Shameless..." Khushi punched him lightly.
They had food and spend the rest of the day having fun. They collect their gift and walked towards the car.
"Arnav it was indeed a fun day... One of the most memorable day in my life."
"I'm glad that you had fun... I never had such a fun day for a long time.... and my first time was indeed memorable. Thanks for making it memorable Khushi." Arnav said placing a kiss on her forehead
In the car....
Khushi hugged him as they entered the car.
"What happened Khushi?"
"Nothing...I just want to stay in your arms for some time."
"I like you being in my arms."
Arnav felt wetness on his t shirt
"What happened Khushi....why are you crying?" Arnav asked Khushi... wiping her tears
"It's nothing....you know weird thoughts... about silly things."
"No...I want to know...even if it is silly for you..."
"Arnav...I...all these things which happening around us is so overwhelming... All these gestures... All these are new to me, which I doubt ever happening to me....I'm little scared...scared that one day you will realize that all these was a mistake...Some mistake which you want to rectify...I know that you are a good man...but the insecurities within me keep nagging me. I don't know what will happen if you ever leave me... but that doesn't mean that I will tie u down if u don't want to be with me. I will let you go...but I don't know how I will cope up... I...don't know why I'm thinking about all these?"
Arnav pulled Khushi to his lap while Khushi gazed down at her hand. He lifted her chin and saw the tears which he wiped away...
"I can understand your fears and insecurities... I can only assure you one thing...that I love you... I will prove that with my action. So that it can beat your insecurities away. Khushi I have never been in love with any girl...The only kind of love I had till now is for my father. After hearing about my parents story...I wanted such a love. A love that is strong... That accepts a person for who he or she is...and I'm glad to find such love with you... Getting into this relationship... I see a future for us...A happy future where we grow old together.... I can never imagine such a future with any other girl. You are the only one...and you will be the only one. I may be ASR for the world...but deep within me I'm that boy who had nothing except his father....I can never ever leave u....If I do that...I won't be alive anymore...Only remember these two things....I love you a lot and dreamt to build a future with you....Talk to me whenever you feel these insecurities."
Khushi nodded her head and snuggled into his chest. Arnav held her close to his heart
After a few minutes
"Are you OK Khushi?"
"Yes...I'm...let's go now..."
Arnav placed a kissed on her forehead.
"Thanks a lot for understanding me....: Khushi said and sat on her seat
"I want to tell you something Khushi..."
Khushi looked at him
"I and papa are going to Lucknow for 3 days...to meet my mother's family."
"So you won't be here for three days?"
'We will be back on Thursday morning."
They drove to her home in silence.
Arnav parked the car near to her home.
In the car, Khushi took hold of his hand...
"I will miss you...come back soon..."
"I will miss you too... But I think Khushi will be there to give me a company."
"Me???"
Arnav looked at the gift
"You are taking this with you?"
"I can't take you with me...so at least I should take this Khushi with me" Khushi blushed hearing that.
Arnav accompanied her till the door step.
"Arnav...take care of uncle and yourself.... Call me when you are free..."
"I will...take care of yourself Khushi."
Seems like 3 days gonna be tough for both of them.
Arnav entered the hall, Arvind is watching the tv
'How was your date??? Tell me..."
"It was good..."
"Just good???"
"Wonderful.... Ok now???"
"Yup...and this doll???" Arvind gave him a doubtful look
"Khushi gave me...she won this for me in a game..."
"That so sweet of her.... May be you can give this to your daughter.... It will be wonderful."
"Papa....you are dreaming a lot.... Let me get married to her first."
"When will that happen?"
'May be after 2 or 3 years?'
"What??? but why?"
"So that Khushi can concentrate on her career."
"She can do that after marriage too?"
"I don't want her to feel tied down.... Let her concentrate on that for now"
"Beta...I thought you will get married soon...she is a nice girl...will her parents agrees for that?"
"Yup.... They have already given her these 3 years so that she can concentrate on her career."
"Ohhh...OK...umm... I feel sleepy."
"Let me take you to your room."
Saying this Arnav carried Arvind to his room
"Good night papa..."
"Good night beta"
In Aravind's room
He was worried... Worried about his son and Khushi
He already had a minor attack which he hides from Arnav... It was just a few days before that sheetal's proposal. He is afraid that what if something happen to him...his Arnav will be alone...he won't tolerate that... which could harm both Arnav and Khushi's life
He is in a dilemma. He knows that even if something happen to him Khushi will be there for his Arnav.
He wished to see his son's marriage before he join his ratna. He knew that he only have a few more years...

********

Khushi saw the message left by Arnav about their departure. She was bit down and reached the restaurant.
After a few hours...someone delivered her a bouquet
Khushi was wondering from who send this...and saw the tag.

To my Khushi,

Keep smiling and take care...
With lots of love
Your Arnav

Khushi smiled and touched the flowers. Whole day Khushi was in a good mood...she kept gazing at the bouquet whenever she passed by the desk where she kept it. Arnav called her at noon and asked about the bouquet and she thanked him.
He too told her about his plans. He is gonna visit his mother's elder sister Renjini.

Arnav and Arvind went to see Renjini who is Anjali and Akash's mother...Renjini became emotional seeing both of them. Arnav's eye reminds her about Ratna. She cried...telling how her husband didn't let her contact them....after moving to Mumbai. Akash was happy to see his Bhai and mausaji. He is working in Mumbai, engaged to payal who happens to be ratna's and Arvind's classmate's daughter. Payal is a lawyer by profession.
Arnav liked all of them.... He got to hear about his mother's childhood stories, what all happened after their relationship got exposed. Except renjini everybody was against this relationship. It was renjini who helped ratna to get out of the house.
They spend the whole day with them...on renjini's insistence they stayed with them.
Arnav called Khushi at night and talk about things which happened. She was happy for him, Arvind too talked with her. Khushi told him how her nani and khush teased her when they saw the bouquet, which she placed near her bed.
Next they decided to visit his Devayani who told renjini that she want to meet Arnav and Arvind
Ratna's Parents, Devayani and Harindra Prakash Mallik stays with Manohar Mallik.
He is married to Manorama.... money minded, society conscious lady. She loves her son NK but not as much as the status and money....
They reached the Mallik Mansion, Ratna's childhood home
"You know... This is the second time I'm entering this house... but technically first time though. Last time I had to jump the damn wall and climb on a ladder." Arvind whispered to Arnav.
"Yeah...you told me about it... Mr romantic raizada trying to sneak into then Ms Ratna Mallik's room." Arvind smiled think about that...
"Arnav..keep your anger in control...we don't know what all can happen when we are in that house."
"Yeah...I will try to keep it down within my limit. After that I can't promise you anything."
Devayani was so excited. She prepared Ratna's favorite dishes so that her SIL and grandson can have it.
Finally they are in front of the door....the servant opened the door and servant announced their arrival to Devayani. She came there with a pooja thal and did the aarthi. Nani was overwhelmed to see her grandson and son in law. She hugged both of them and cried. She apologized Arvind for the past deeds
They entered the hall, slowly everybody assembled in the hall.
On a side Arvind, Arnav and Devayani, on other side Manohar...Nana...Manorama
When Nana and Manohar hear that Ratna's son will be visiting them, they thought of a small man who will be like Arvind with a height closer to Arvind.
They were stunned to see Arnav... He had ratna's eyes and lips ...other features are of Arvind.
Awkwardness surrounded the room; Devayani asked them to sit down. Arnav made Arvind sat on the sofa and others to sit down. Devayani introduced Arnav to his Nana... Mamaji and mamiji
Renjini didn't give them info about Arnav's job and everything. They just know that....Ratna and Arvind have a son named Arnav...and she died 26 years ago,
Manohar was the first to ask
"So what do you do Arnav?"
"I'm into business...owns a company."
Manohar thought that it may be some small business...
"Which company?"
"AR designs...."Arnav said proudly
He was shocked... After all it is one of the emerging company's in India... Which is expecting to be on top soon
"AR designs...!!! But the owner is ASR!!!"
"Arnav Singh Raizada .... ASR... Owner of Arvind Ratna Designs.....which happens to be me."
Manohar was dumbstruck.... He never thought that ratna and that dwarf's son will reach such a position
"Ohhh... I don't know that it was you... It was unexpected."
That's when Arvind speak to nana
"Hmmm...renjiniji told me that you were in hospital...How are you now?"
"I'm good... I want to ask you something...." Said nana
"Ji... What is it?"
"I mean I want to ask you so many things? When did you get married???"
"I and ratna got married a day before the marriage you arranged, then we moved to Kolkata...Later moved to Delhi where Arnav was born." Arvind said
"We searched for a week for both of you...after that we understood that it is useless to continue the search" Said nana
"I never wanted to elope with her.... She never deserved that kind of marriage...But we were helpless and situation made us to choose it."
"Did she ever wished to see us?" Devayaniji asked
"Yeah...mostly when she was pregnant with Arnav."
"How did my bitiya..." Saying this Devayani started crying holding Arvind's hand
"She met with an accident ....she was in the hospital for 3 days...and on the fourth day ..." Arnav placed a hand on his dad's shoulder. Nanaji had tears in his eyes too... After all she was his daughter
"She would have been alive today if she didn't elope with a dwarf man like you...." Manohar said
Hearing this Devayani shouted at manohar for saying such things
"Did I tell something wrong... She chose this man over us... A man like him who can't even sit on a chair himself."
That's it, Arnav lost his tolerance.
"Not a word about my father and mother. If you do that again I wouldn't even think that you are my mother's brother.
Nana told Manorama to take Manohar from there. They moved to their room.
"Arnav what have you done??? I told you to control your anger..."
"Papa...I already told you that I will keep my anger unless they push the wrong button... I won't keep silence if someone talks bad about you and maa."
"It's ok, Arvind beta...don't scold him... Manohar is at fault." Devayani told them
"It took a lot of time for me to accept everything... At that time, my status was everything for me and what did I gain? Nothing...I couldn't give a happy life to both my children...I'm sorry for all the wrong deeds... It was a late realization for me...At the end I'm happy that...at least ratna find her happiness...I was angry on u... and my ego.... Manohar had taken it too much. When I was in the hospital... I realized everything, but it is too late. I'm sorry Arvind...for all that I have done towards you and ratna. Renjini suffered a lot because of her hubby. Manohar and Manorama was a society couple.

A man around his mid-twenties entered the hall, slamming the door shut.
"Am I late???" He asked trying to stand properly with a small bottle of alcohol in his hand
"Oopps...seems like I'm late..." He said and started walking towards arnav and arvind with wobbling legs.
Devayani rushed near to him
"No...nanzzz...I'm ok see..." saying this NK lifted his legs one by one to show her that he is ok and came near Arvind
"Omg....finally we met... I'm nandkishore...but everybody call me NK...Wait let me take a paper...
Is there anyone who can give me a pen and paper?" NK asked the servants shouting while going through the shelf... Taking out things and creating a mess there.
Arnav and Arvind was shocked and don't know what is happening around them. Finally...NK said pulling out a paper and pen
"Now give me an autograph..." NK said placing the paper on Arvind's lap

"Ohhh... You may be wondering who am I? Hmm...did you met the Indian Hitler? The one who personify the anger smiley all the time. Nanzz...did they met him?"

"Yes...beta...they met him..." Devayani replied.
"Ohhh... So what were we saying...yeah Hitler... Indian Hitler...."
"NK.... Where did you went yesterday?" asked an angry manohar.
"Speaking of the devil...I mean Hitler And the Hitler is here." Nk said trying to standing up from the floor where he was sitting near Arvind
"Nk...Where was you yesterday?"
"I was with my lovely lovely girlfriends"
"Is that the way to speak with your father?" Manohar shouted.

"Can you please shut and fuck off from here." NK told him and gave him a 'I don't care' look
he started taking with Arnav and Arvind
"Now you know that I'm that Hitler's son...Arre...you didn't sign me my autograph." NK asked eyeing the plain paper
In the back ground manohar kept shouting at him and went inside later, not getting any reply from NK.
"You must be wondering why I need your autograph. It is simple. You are my hero.... You came like an hero and whisked away bua from these Hitlers like a hero. Now give me my autograph..."
Both Arvind and Arnav was dumbstruck
"You don't know how to write an autograph? Let me show you...." Saying this NK tried to put a signature while drinking the alcohol.
"So this is what we call as an autograph."
Nk showed the paper where he scribbled something which can't be read by anyone.
"Now give me my autograph." NK said to Arvind
Arvind did it and gave the paper to NK...
"Ohhh...finally my life is been blessed." Nk said hugging that piece of paper.
"Are you bua's son?" Nk asked
"Yes"
"Am I my Bhai....or are you your Bhai ...?"

Arnav looked at him in confusion.
"How old are you?" NK asked

"I'm 29..."
"Bhai..." Saying this NK hugged Arnav
"What is your name?"
"Arnav"
"What a nice name...nannav....Nannav and nk... Cool bros...." NK said taking his hand in hands
"You are the living proof of those Hitler's failure. Shouldn't I keep a proof with myself..." Saying this NK took his mobile and tried to switch on it.
"It's dead..." saying this NK throw it away.
"Give me your phone Nannav..."
Arnav gave him his phone
"Where is the camera???" NK asked scrolling through the screen.
"Now say cheesy..." NK tried to take the photo but couldn't with him being wobbling.
"Let me take the selfie" Saying this Arnav took the phone from his hand.
"Phuphaji you too come..." Saying this NK pulled Arvind closer slowly so that they can take the photo and Arnav took the photo
They heard a knock on the door and they found few police officers.
"Is nandkishore here?"
"Yes..." Devayani told them
Hearing the bell manohar and manorama came there.
"We are here to arrest Nandkishore."
"Yooo...buddy...it is NK...not Nandkishore" Said nk
"What have you done now?" His mother asked him.
"Just broken some stuffs in the bar and a small fight...that's it." He said taking a sip from the liquor bottle.
Along with the police man the owner of the bar was there
"Are you the owner of that bar??? NK asked
"Yes..."
"So how much it costs??! Over all damages?"
"Around 3 lakhs" said the bar owner.
"F**k...Only 3 lakhs....I thought it would cost around 5 or 6 lakhs. I should improve my performance from now." He commented with a sad face.
The police moved near to him so that they can handcuff him
"Wait...wait...let me just complete this one..." saying this NK drank the full bottle of alcohol in a go. He walked towards Arvind and Arnav with wobbling legs and kissed their cheeks.
"See u soon phuphajiii...and Nannav"
He forwarded his hands towards the police so that they can handcuff him. He turned around and said to his father.
"Hitlers do come and bail me out... It won't be good for our family reputation if I go into jail. Don't forget to bring my favorite liquor too." He ordered his father and nanaji, then walked away after giving flying kisses to Arvind and Arnav.

Manohar called his lawyer and asked him to reach the police station... He gave a cheque worth of 2 lacs to that owner and went from there to bail him out. Manorama went to her room crying while Arvind and Arnav stood there clueless.
