28.1 – Stumped 2.0

At Rahul's Place – Jamaica

Living Room

Was this happening for real??

Were their eyes just seeing what it was – for Real????

They couldn't move...yet.They couldn't react...yet. Yes,it had just been a couple of minutes since – Arnav had taken his hoodie off in front of all and yet the only reaction that was radiating off everyone at Rahul's living room in the moment was that off stunned shock and surprise in the moment – indeed.

All the eyes in the room weren't just widened and popped in their respective sockets, they were also legit frozen on ASR+ Khushi – with everyone's jaws still popped open in shock too.

WERE THEY REALLY SEEING ASR IN FRONT???

OH – INDEED THEY WERE. THEIR EYES RECOGNISED AGAIN. AND BRAINS PROCESSED THE REALITY AGAIN...YET REMAINED STUCK IN A FROZEN MODE...

Was ASR – aka – Arnav Singh Raizada legit literally standing in Rahul's living room in front of them all – having just announced that it was – HIM – who was the boy Khushi met in Peru??Was it really him who still had his right hand laced with Khushi's all snug in the moment clutching onto it so possessively as if in a subtle gesture to all that he'd never let go?henceforth?

Was it really him along with Khushi and Asher – biting back on his grin right now taking in the sight of their shocked and stunned expressions???

Oh- indeed – it was none other than Him. It really was none other than the man – whom they'd not very long ago seen at the stadium at Sabina Park collecting the player of the match award for the last test match of the series....

DAMMMITTTTTTTTT.

HOW TO MOVE?

HOW TO FREAKING REACT TO A REALITY AS SURPRISING AND SHOCKING AS THIS ONE?EVERYONE THOUGHT IN THEIR HEADS COLLECTIVELY EXCHANGING SHOCKED LOOKS AMIDST ONE ANOTHER NOW – CONTINUOUSLY GAPING AT ASR IN SHOCK STILL...

Rahul was sure, his jaw was the one dropped down the longest as he legit was in a statue mode in shock. Diya was kinda glad that she was seated this time around now getting the complete huff as to why Asher preferred her to be seated!!! For yup – or else she would have surely lost her balance in shock of it all...

Mika and Atharv stood all stunned too in their respective frames. Zara clutched on Zain's arm the tightest she could in the moment and Manika clutched onto Yug's as tight too as the latter two also gaped at ASR and Khushi wide- eyed still.Nina was totally on the verge of swirling in shock..though...

Asher is obviously enjoying the scene to the core glad that he was getting this on record and he continued exchanging knowing smiles with Arnav and Khushi across – who just continued to stand in their spot silently as well – giving everyone some more minutes to digest the reality of it all....

And as another minute passed – was everyone beginning to digest the reality of it all?Not really. But what was beginning to happen was – that now everyone's head's in the rooms began connecting its respective dots in their heads on Khushi's accord – taking it all years back in their memories. They all did have a basic highlight of what had transpired in this story right...and now...that they could finally see the one next to Khushi in clear light...the pieces of the puzzle just began fitting in together...

Like suddenly – everyone began seeing the bit of Khushi always being the most excited for years prior whilst tracking ASR's cricketing journey...in a different light in their heads...now it all just started to make a different sense to them all in their heads. Why..she'd always been his number one fan...why she'd always just shotgunned his jersey...why...she'd even school Asher for jinxing him...why....everytime...they'd asked her about ASR&Disha back then in the past...they'd received subtle one line answers or just hmms...and hmmmmmmmmmsss.......as to why...even the other day when she'd highlighted the brief of their story...cryptically..the ache was also obvious in her eyes...mentioning the different worlds...bit...

Damm. Now that entire...different world angles bit...just freaking made so much sense to all – at finally seeing ASR next to Khushi. Damm. It wasn't just different worlds...more like...DIFFERENT UNIVERSES OF LIVES/OR DIFFERENT GALAXIES...FOR THAT MATTER.....

Just like that...bits and pieces...of puzzles...began clicking its way in everyone's head....the expression of realization also dawning everyone's face side by side...as it all began dawning on everyone bit by bit...that technically...Khushi had ASR had first met back in the day...when he wasn't even ASR to the world...at the point.And the bit of the highlight from Khushi prior as to why she didn't ever tell the boy she met in peru about her accident or its aftermath...also could now be seen in different light by all in their heads....

No one was saying a word yet...and yet...the beauty of the moment was that Khushi knew that what could be running through everyone's minds at the moment. The fact that they had all begun connecting the dots in their respective heads on her accord – was obvious to her eye now...

It was also obvious to Asher's eyes as he observed the stunned silence in the room still.No one was saying a word and yet it seemed like everyone was having a conversation within themselves...on this accord...still...

Rahul finally gapes at Diya in silence his still but his worried expressions were caught on by his wife in a jiffy – nonetheless.She knew what was exactly on his mind...the instant worry of how would Khushi ever cope with things at ASR's side of the world...the instant worry...that knowing Khushi's parents..more so her daddy....this reality wouldn't be an easy one for him to digest and gulp down too. How often had Rahul+Diya had seen Khushi's dad worry on the accord of Khushi dating Asher on the accord if they'd be ever to match up to them on account of business/status differences....and now...this was freaking ASR in context....The Samay Singh Raizada's son in context....the ASR in context who was himself rising in his cricket celebrity status by the day...

Yug's mind was in an overdrive too as it instantly went onto thinking on the bits of how the world/ASR's crazy fandom could also freaking send hate/trolls Khushi's way...coz of these worldly differences bit.Oh the world could be cruel. They'd remind her constantly of how she wasn't good enough for ASR – slapping her condition in her face.

And knowing Yug in and out – Manika knew exactly what was on his mind too.And his worry was kinda transcending to her now – energetically as it was to Diya next to Rahul. Knowing her brothers well – Zara could read the bit on Yug and Rahul's faces clearly too and she could only nod to Zain in concern too at that finally eyeing – Mika Di to react in some way atleast now....but Mika could only shake her head in part shock still...gesturing to Zara that she wouldn't be able to be the one to speak first..for sure...now...given that she was still processing this reality....

Atharv Kapoor was still statued in shock, concern and worry as well himself and also part amusement though – for now ofcourse it all made sense to him as to how he'd already met this dude under different pretext altogether....

Arnav had been observing everyone's reactions closely as well and even though no one had said a word yet and everyone was still gaping at him and Khushi in shock – he could easily sense that their minds were not silent at all though. Now that the initial surprise and shock of it all was begin to settle in – concern was evident in the vibe radiating from all- a fact even Khushi could sense he presumed in the moment – given that she'd just clutched on his arm with her right hand now in a nervous silence now....

Okayyyyyyyyy! Given that he'd come prepped for this to happen anyway – Arnav decides that perhaps it was on him to break this shocked+stunned silence in the room. He looks sideways to exchange a glance with Asher who shot him a reassuring glance and a genuine smile assuring ASR that he got this – a subtle gesture that Arnav greatly appreciated...

It wasn't that Asher didn't want to be the one to break the silence. Infact, he was about to candidly about twenty seconds ago, but then he'd realized that perhaps - ASR would want to do that himself? Given the way he was also closely observing the situation....

Arnav takes a deep determined breathe now and clutching on Khushi's right hand on his arm – he reassures her with a look that he got this to which Khushi nods nervously before returning her nervous gaze on her two cousin brother's in the moment. Dammit. She knew exactly what was on Yug+ Rahul's mind...

Arnav clears his throat now candidly and says to all who still gaped at him in silence knowing he had to start on a light hearted note – " acha....ab sach bolo aap sab...yeh crazy hoodie guy get up?kaafi crazy tha kya???"( okay you all only tell me...was my crazy hoodie guy get up..quite crazy..or what??")

Now that from him surprises everyone for they knew he was trying to break the silence with his candid humour the one they'd often heard behind the stumps on stump mic/ or post match interviews and finally Asher smiles at that as he affirms with a wink to ASR – " indeed...kaafi crazy tha ASR...dekha na..kaise sab shock mein khade hai ab tak....kisi ko digest hi nai ho raha ...ki hoodie ke neeche..it turned out to be ..YOU..."( ofcourse it was crazy ASR....can't you see ...that everyone is still stumped in shock unable to digest the bit...that...beneath the hoodie it turned out to be You...)

Khushi exchanges a reassuring smile with Arnav at that gesturing him not to get overwhelmed with everyone's collective silence still and Arnav just acknowledges the same back to Khushi with a smile that he was anything but overwhelmed infact he had come prepared for this...

This silent exchange in between the two does not miss everyone's eyes too...

Asher finally clears his throat and adds to all – " waise...main bata dun...for the record...I was as shocked and stumped as you all were...when I found out...it was none other than ASR in context...."

Now that makes everyone just look at Asher curious and Atharv now asks Asher curious clearing his throat – " did you know?The first time we met him??"

Asher shakes his head laying out in the open for all now – " nah...not then...I knew the second time around...though.."

Arnav adds sincerely now – " but I knew...the very first time...I met you both....Atharv jiju that you are khushi's jiju and that Khushi and Asher were together at the time...I knew it all...having bumped coincidentally into Khushi just day prior...at the beach...after ages....."

And now as Rahul's voicebox finally defreezes out of shock the words flow out of his mouth first sincerely knowing he could express his worry and concern later – " come on in...will you...please?ASR? so sorry...we'v all just been stumped in shock...excuse us...please come in...join us......."

Diya acknowledges the same nodding now – " it is indeed is the first time...that we;v been so stumped in shock..that we just didn't know...what to say...how to react..."

Mika adds now politely – " or digest the fact that it is you...next to Khushi..."

Zara nods – " like...processing this...has just taken a while..."

Zain nods at that too sincerely – " oh you surely think...this is rude of us...apologies...wasn't about that...just about us processing our collective shock...more so..."

Yug and Manika and Nina just nod silently and sincerely too studying Khushi's nervousness and this bit also makes Khushi sigh in relief that atleast they were all getting out of shock and showing reactions....

Arnav just smiles at everyone sincerely and politely now as he says – " I get it guys...relax...I know your silence is not coming from that place at all...really?? So chill...k??,"and he finally walks in hand in hand with Khushi to sit on the sofa space – that Rahul had gestured him to join in everyone on – again – in the moment.

Once seated – Arnav easily spots Khushi looking at everyone in the room nervously still and he candidly picks up the glass of water from the table first and hands it to Khushi first sincerely and caringly and says to all grinning – " ek second...guys...isko thoda paani pila le...faaltu mein..itni tention jo le rahi hai....phir sab baatein kartein hai..."( one second guys...can we just have her sip some water first..given that she's getting all tensed and nervous for no reason...then we will talk...)

And at that – everyone just watches ASR sincerely edge Khushi to gulp down the full glass of it momentarily and she does so nodding at him – first post which she hands him a glass too to sip on caringly. Once again the caring vibe radiating from him and Khushi – stumps everyone collectively...

Once they both are done sipping the water – Diya asks Asr politely first – " ASR...what would you like to have?some tea?coffee??"

Arnav shakes his head smilingly – " none...of it now...Diya...am good...don't worry about it..."

Diya asks puzzled at that though – " wait..wait...so you know...I am diya out of all of us lot..."

Arnav grins – " ofcourse...I know...you are diya...out of the lot...just like I know...you are Rahul...you are Yug...you are Zara...Zain...Manika, Nina...Mika Di...Atharv Jiju and Asher...,"he adds gesturing to respective everyone one by one – and just as the rest apart from Atharv jiju were still looking at him confused – he explains to all – " I know because...aap sab ki photos dekhi hai maine...khushi ne dikhayi....toh waise...aap sab se toh main mil hi chuka hun pehle...technically photos ke through...par aaj bahut khush hun main aap sab se milke..."( I know because...I have seen all of your pics through Khushi...so technically have met you all through photos...but am so glad to finally meet you....all...today...)

Everyone nods at that processing it in eyeing Khushi who still looking at them all nervously knowing their heads were in overdrive within and Arnav asks everyone again grinning – " toh aap sab ne bataya nai...ki aapko mera crazy hoodie guy get up kaisa laga??"( you all are yet to tell me what you thought of my crazy hoodie guy get up though...)

Rahul speaks first to that though – " ASR..."

Arnav gestures to Rahul sincerely clutching on Khushi's left hand possessively now – " Arnav...please....kya kaha tha pehle maine...mera dil toh yahi chahta hai ki aap sab mujhe mere naam se bulao....ASR toh mein duniya ke liye hun...,,mere apno ke liye...main Arnav hoon aur arnav hi rahunga...aur aap sab toh meri Khushi ke closest ho...toh please...app sab mujhe ab..ASR mat bolna...please? Arnav...chalega....bass..simple...Arnav....please??"( Arnav please...what did I mention earlier...that I'd love for you all to call me by my name...I am ASR for the world...for my inner circle...I am Arnav...always have been just Arnav...and you all are the closest to my Khushi...so you all please...call me just Arnav from now...on...k??)

Once again...that possessive undertone under...meri Khushi in Arnav's tone..did not miss anyone's ears along with Arnav's clutch on Khushi's left artificial hand.....

Zara exclaims honestly at that though first – " arree...aise kaise...ASR se arnav...we all have been calling you ASR for ages now..how can we just switch..."

Arnav smiles at that clutching on Khushi's left hand tighter - " bada simple hai...main batata hun zara ..kaise....aise...as in...iss logic se...ki jab main Khushi mila tha na...saalon pehle...tab mein ASR nai..sirf Arnav hi tha...infact...aaj jo main ASR ban paya hun na...apni game mein iss maukam par pahunch paya hoon na...in sab main sabse...bada haath...toh ...khushi ka hi hai..."( its very simple Zara...ill tell you...how...as in just call me Arnav with the logic...that when I met Khushi back in the day...I was just Arnav...infact the ASR gaming persona I have been able to become today..in that...Khushi has a big hand...)

That so sincerely from ASR just stumps everyone again and right then they hear Khushi look at him(Arnav) as she exclaims – " pagal ho kya tum? Phir se bias hogaye tum?isme mera koi haath nai..."( are you crazy?why giving me undue credit again?"

Arnav kisses her left artificial hand at that on reflex – a gesture – stumping everyone to their very core in a deep touched way now as he says to Khushi – " Khushi...mujhe bolne...do...please??"( Khushi...please just let me say...what I want to...)

Khushi can only nod in the moment – completely overhwlemed...

Arnav looks upto see everyone now just gaping at him touched coz of the way he just kissed Khushi's left artificial hand and he says sincerely knowing opening his heart sincerely was going to take everyone's worry away – " pata hai aap sab ko...kita roya tha main...uss raat beach pe baithke...jab finally sach pata chala...ki yeh peru kyun nai aa payi?? Uss time pe?? Ki kyun isne...itne saal mujhe...kuch nai bataya...? Kitna roya main...yeh sochke...ki yeh toh iss pagal ne man mein soch liya tha saalon tak....ki main shayad waqt ke saath badal gaya hoga....balki sach toh yeh tha...ki main toh wahi Arnav tha...dil mein...hamesha...se...wohi Arnav...joh kabhi isse bhool hi nai paya..."( do you all know?how much I wept that night on the beach when I finally found out the truth?? As to what had happened with her back then?as to why she didn't turn up?why she didn't tell me all these years?? How much I cried?thinking that this crazy one just assumed in her being that I must have changed over time etc etc...where in...the reality of the fact is that I was always the same Arnav in my heart..the same old...Arnav...who could never forget her...."

NOW THAT FROM ARNAV IN SUCH A SINCERE EMOTIONAL TONE DOES TOUCH A CHORD IN EVERYONE'S HEART...yet they all remain silently stunned...this time around more so out of the emotional intensity that was radiating out of ASR's frame for Khushi – and how she'd just teared in intense emotion locking her gaze with his – at hearing him say this to all out loud...

Arnav knew he had to keep going on – knowing he'd touched a chord and after sharing an emotional eyelock with Khushi he looks up at everyone and says softly - " I know...aap sabko...basic gist pata hai...hamare past ka...par aaj mein phir se...sab batana chahta hun...khul ke...toh shuruaat se shuru karta hoon...pata hai...uss din peru mein...jab main isse mila...toh samjho...life ke turmoils mein buri tarah fasah hua tha...joh aap sab samajh hi sakte honge...( I know you all know the basic gist of our story...but I still wana give you an honest peekaboo..so back then on that day..when I first her...I was in a massive turmoil and I am sure you all know what I am hinting towards...if you trace back the timeline in your heads...)

Everyone just nods at that – their heads connecting the dots...

And for the next minutes – they all stand stumped emotionally this time around as they hear ASR first highlight things for the past as to how Khushi had been the anchor for him at his lowest at the point and then go onto elaborate from his point of view about his feelings for Khushi from Peru time + how he respected her wanting time to come around the diff worlds bit + all that he'd nurtured after in the year of wait in hope that she'd come to see him too and how achingly broken he was and emotional it had been for him – in the years that followed thinking of why she didn't ever turn up – with him oblivious to the truth...but even then...he never forgot her..always held her in high regard...in his heart..as his fondest memory...

And whilst Arnav narrates this bit – to everyone's surprise it is Asher who joins him in narrating the emotional highlights of what it had been for Khushi on this accord in the years too which he had found out from her not very long ago...himself...and Asher knew he didn't have to be the one to elaborate more on the fondest memory bit for Khushi for the evidence of it all had always been around for everyone's head to connect the dots with...

And as they heard it all – as everyone in the room heard it all – it was obvious that their guts wrenched at the unfortunate turn of events back then at either ends...

And amidst it all – Khushi finally joins in Arnav post thanking Asher about chipping in on her behalf on the past and then Arnav gets to talking about the present...about how happy and stoked he had been on the day at finally finding Khushi at the beach in front of Sandra's – the other day..

Bit by bit – he hightlights it all. Asher now finally reveals the truth that he'd picked on Khushi's nervousness the very next day himself when she finally came around to him cryptically about the boy she met in peru + the bit that he'd been the one to edge Khushi to meet him again – for his gut knew by then – that there was no point in him (Asher)seeking to find the spot in Khushi's heart that was already taken/always had been taken without her even being able to consciously acknowledge it wholeheartedly...

As everyone hears that on and Asher asks his bhai and Bhabhi at that sincerely – " sahi kiya na maine?bhai ?bhabhi?"( I did the right thing right?bhai ?bhabhi??)

Stunned, emotionally – Mika and Atharv could only nod at that and Asher goes on to say to all then next – " aur phir jab kuch dino baad...Maya phir se aa gayi mere saamne...mujhe bhi samajh ayaa...ki shayad...dil ki baton pe dimaag ka koi zor nai..."( and then when Maya appeared in front of me...days later...I also felt shook only in the matter of the heart..within....realising...that sometimes the mind can presume what it wants but the heart has its own ways...)

And just like that...bit by bit...as Arnav/Khushi/Asher kept opening about it all - everyone in the room can only be an heartfelt audience hearing what was being told to them. They all also experienced rage/anger when Arnav honestly confessed Disha's wrongdoings towards Khushi – relief moreso after at hearing from Asher how ASR handled Disha at his end at that – and whilst they were listening to it all...the entire picture kept becoming clear in everyone's head...

Then came the bit off Arnav narrating how Khushi was still holding this wall in between the two on the different worlds angle/her fears coz of the same and how ultimately he had to convince her emotionally that being at the same page of feelings was the biggest blessing of god...and that all he cared about was her/that he'd always wanted just her as is – as Her - which ultimately lead her to give him a chance to be with her in the present so that they could atleast experience...what it felt like to be together...and that...that's exactly what they had been doing uptil now....and now...it was finally time for him to leave...

And surprisingly to all – they thought they'd spotted equal ache/longing intense vibe radiate from Arnav's vibe this time around as he brought that bit of leaving up himself.They were all aware of Khushi's turmoil on the front anyway....

Now that he'd spent many minutes just opening up to all sincerely – Arnav had sensed the vibe become a lot less concerned in everyone's frame and he says out loud now exchanging an emotional glance with Khushi that she was also feeling quite light at finally talking about it all to her gang – " sach bolun toh...mann toh bilkul nai kar raha mere jaane...ka.......samjho toh ek taraf se..apna dil yahin chod ke jaa raha hun..iske...pass...waise toh mujhe pata hai..aap sab iska dhyan rakhte hi ho...bass ek request hai...thoda aur rakh lena...meri taraf se bhi......obviously main jitne jaldi hosake...aaunga na...wapis...isee milne..."( honestly....if I were to confess...my hearts not in leaving at all...its as if I am not just leaving a piece of my heart behind..but whole of it with her...here...and I know you all always have her back...but meybae....henceforth...also..take extra care of her...on my behalf...and ofcourse...I will be back here as soon as I can be...to see her...)

NOW ONCE AGAIN – EVERYONE'S JUST STUMPED DUE TO THE EMOTIONAL SINCERITY AT ARNAV'S TONE AT THAT. Like did he just ask them all to watch out for Khushi on his behalf too???

Well, he'd clearly been on a stumping mission for many minutes uptil now ever since he'd began talking or rather opening his heart out to them all/talking about his side of things...but now..with this bit..it just felt like to all in the room that he'd clearly...hit a massive boundary with that...

Khushi's all emotional herself at hearing this from Arnav...stumped ..speechless...momentarily...did he just say..he was leaving his heart behind with her?to all??out loud????????????

Arnav looks up at everyone gaping at him speechless in emotion this time around – and as Asher smiles at him reassuringly – that he was acing it with his sincerity – Arnav continues this time looking at Rahul and Yug first sincerely – " main bhi bhai hoon...toh yeh mat samjhna Rahul/yug ya Atharv jiju/zain ki aap sab ki worry skipped my eyes....( I am also a brother so you all don't think Rahul/yug/Atharv jiju/zain...that your worry skipped my eyes....) for it didn't skip my eyes at all...I know...I understand...why not just four of you but all of you have these apprehensive thoughts in your minds....in worry for Khushi...because of the other dramatic public figure collaterals attached with my life.....but all I wana say to all today...is...ki main wada karta hoon dil se...ki mere hote...khushi ko kabhi bhi koi dukh nai hoga...main kisi ko bhi use hurt karne hi nai doonga.....uske aansun toh main kabhi girne hi nai doonga...aur agar kabhi gire...toh main sabse pehle waha khada honga use sambhalne ke liye...main hoon na...ab sab mera wishvaas karo...main sab sambhaal lunga...hamesha...ab jo yeh haath pakad liya hai iska maine...chodne wala nai hun main...kabhi bhi...khushi meri hai..jaise ki main uska hoon...bass yeh bhi reassure karne ke liye main yahan aaya hun aaj aap sab se milne apni side of the story leke.....aur yeh bhi batane ke liye bhi...ki Khushi...mere liye kya hai...shayad...woh main kabhi bayaan hi na kar paayun...shabdon se...kyunki shabd poorse kabhi padenge hi nai .....bass kal jaane se pehle...yahi chahta tha..aap sab mujhse milke ...meri feelings khushi ke baare mein kya hai... directly mujh se hi sunlo...."

(  Eng : "all I wana say is that...I promise...to you all today..that as long as I am here...I will never let Khushi be sad...I will never let anyone out there in the world hurt her...ever...I will never let a tear leave her eye ever...and if a tear ever does leave her eye I will be right there to wipe it off first and handle her...I will handle everything...now that I have caught hold of her hand I will never let it go...Khushi is mine...just like...I am her's...and this is the exact bit I also wanted to reassure you all today...the main reason why I came to meet you all today...along with my side of the story+ telling you all today that what Khushi means to me...in my heart..perhaps...I will never be able to express in words..for words will never be enough....just before leaving tomorrow...i just wanted to meet you all ...and confess the sincerity of my feelings for Khushi directly to you all...so that you all have heard it from me...directly...)

DAMMMMMMMM!

EVERYONE EXCHANGES A STUMPED LOOK OF – that did ASR JUST HIT A SIXER WITH THAT – WITH THE AMOUNT OF SINCERITY AND EMOTION IN HIS TONE AT THAT HEARTFELT PROMISE.....

And whilst everyone just watches on stumped emotionally – it is Khushi's turn to get completely overwhelmed as she finally loses her control on emotions as reminder hits that he is to leave tomorrow and she instantly just buries her face in the crook of his arm letting the tears flow – " pagal ho tum...abhi bola...ki nai...rulaoge...aur rula diya..."( are you crazy??? You just said...you won't let me tear up and you only just made me cry again...)

That makes Arnav just pull her into a possessive heartfelt sidehug in front of all as he kisses on her head wiping a tear outta the corner of his eye – A SIGHT THAT JUST CONTINUES TO MOVE EVERYONE IN THE MOVE IMMENSE...

Well, it so seemed, that even though on one on one – every one in the gang was yet to have casual/ chatter with ASR – one thing was sure to all in the significant moments that had just passed in the room - that there was no doubt in his sincerity and emotions towards for Khushi...for sure...and as much as ..they could observe Khushi's frame in the moment...they could sense the similar intensity in Khushi's frame as well...

It was clear to all – that ASR had walked in here with the plan to just stump everyone by steering the beginning of this meet towards talking about his sincerity towards Khushi.

And had Arnav succeeded in pulling off the momentary stumping off Khushi's entire gang in such a way that no one atleast had any doubts about his sincere honest intentions...in their relationship......

Oh Yes – He indeed had...!

............................................................................................

Tadaaaaaa!!!

Howwwwzzzaaattt guys???

I hope you all enjoyed reading this Update. Also no shoes at me for stopping there...the next update will obviously begin with a glimpse into candid casual chatter in between Arnav and the gang but in this update I did want to highlight the bit that Arnav's focus first is to just make his sincere intentions very clear to begin with...for he knows deep within only that can be like an eventual anchor in everyone's minds as it revolves around worrying for Khushi on the diff worlds bit so he obviously wanted to begin with it....

You know he often begins his innings with a boundary on pitch? Yeah...just like that....😉😉😉😉🤪🤪🤪🤪😅😅😅😅

Next Update on this story : Will come in on Tuesday Night. Yes guys, I know updates have been a little slow off late – but honestly – I am doing my best to balance it all with the real life duniya. Please know that I Will be trying my best to give back to back updates on Tuesday/Wednesday in the coming week...pakka se.....

Thanks guys for all the love* support always.

Have a great Sunday...you all..

Much Love* Infinite Gratitude
