Chapter 24 – Elixir and Bliss

One Day Later – As In Friday Morning

(Arnav has to leave on Saturday late night)

Khushi's POV

10.45 AM

I pull out the sleeves of my this light fleeced high neck olive green full sleeved tee so that its now half way up my palm and I hold onto this warm coffee cup in my hands, and I feel the little chill in the air, send shivers down my arms.

The Chill I recognised very well because it told me that - Winter was almost here.

I smile as I sip on the coffee again, sitting on this picnic bench right outside our Caravan as I am waiting for Arnav to finish getting ready.He stepped into the Caravan for Shower like about five minutes ago.

I had gotten ready first after we finished my usual coffee and toast breakfast here at this very table like we had been having ever since we came here.

So Yesterday had been another Wonderful day ofcourse, we had finished breakfast and then first thing out – I had driven Arnav to Simsontown – a town which is like a suburb in the South Peninsula of Cape Town, and is located on the shores of False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula.For more than two Centuries this town has been like a naval base and harbour (first for the British Royal Navy and now to the South African Navy).

It's a cozy little town this place and has two extreme popular tourist spots – The Boulders beach and the Martello Tower.

Boulders Beach is my favourite though because they kind off give us a rare sight.Here there were small coves and beaches that wete interspersed between boulders of Cape Granite you know hence the name Boulders beach – but you know what was more unique about this beah – was its fascinating colony of African Penguins.They say that the colony of penguins started living on this beach on 1985, however theres no record of the penguins having lived here prior to that date.

I grin automatically as I remember Arnav's expression from yesterday – he was so fascinated and excited when the massive colony of penguins grouped with each other fell inline with his vision – and then he asked me all the possible touristy questions about the place and I was obviously very happy to oblige.

I loved that smile on him.

And then I had taken him to the Martello tower, which was built by the British in like 1796 and today it fell within our countrys Naval Base.This tower was used as a navigational beacon for ships that would enter Simons Bay and was white washed in 1843, and the tower was restored in 1972 by the Simons Town Historical society and was proclaimed a provincial heritage site and it also has a small museum.

Again – Arnav had asked me to get on with my tourist guide mode as he asked me to tell him all about it, the facts, the myths, the history etc etc, and I had happily obliged again.

You know if I ever end up doing well in my Career as a tourist guide – id have to thank My Hoodie Guy because the very thought to explore the same had come in my head when I was with him.

And I was super happy that I had the time to just take him around the places – I have been taking tourists often on my Sunday private taxi tours.

We had just spent some time after for a relaxing lunch and then then just walked around hand in hand in the small heritage town and then made our way back to the Camp site in the evening – where the usual – walk by the beach- sitting with him with my head on his shoulder as the sun went down – kissing each other madly at the rocky platform and then making our way back to the restaurant for dinner and then us just snuggling into each other in front of the Bonfire and then just talking and spending good time with each other,and then he just unleashed that passionate Carnage on my Lips, and my neckline, until I just snuggle into him due to feeling all shy by the end of it, and fell asleep in his arms.

And this morning – again – my eyes only opened up by 915 am.

This man was seriously a Wizard.

He was also the Love of My Life.

On reflex now – I just pick up the pendant of the locket he had made me wear, and my eyes fall on whats written again – Where Two Oceans Merge.

Godddddddddddd.

Arnav was the Love of My Life.

And

I wanted to make Him Happy.

I swear to God – in this moment I am feeling like there isn't anything that I wouldn't do for him.I mean I would need time ofcourse to take things step by step.That is why I have been nervous about all this Mixing in between of us – I mean we both Love each other and respect each other unique identities and individualities and the fact that we have been living a life in two different parts of the globes and now we feel this intense Love for each other – keeping aside all these massive differences.

However The 'Mix' and the 'Merge' has to kind of happen for our Lives to get fused into One – if we want to think of this as Long Term,and in my heart that is what it already is.

And I know – that sooner or later we have to start like a smooth transition to make all this fusing happen and the facts that made me a little nervous was that I still would only complete my education my next year May.(and we are just in June right now – so 11 months to that) And then my dream – my only other dream that's keeping me going was to buy back my late fathers restaurant that had been his everything.( I am definetly going to work towards this – maybe work really hard in whichever part of the Globe – save up and then buy this but instead of running it myself, I could entrust it to Rahul and Uncle eventually...I mean this is just a wild thought from my heart right now..but so much to still process to be able to think and work this out)

God – there was so much I had to figure out as we went along the way and that is why I wanted to take like one step at a time.

And it was because of this time that I needed in my timeline to probably to get to that point of Fusing – that was making me nervous.The mixing I was worried about was the fact of getting our lives fused into one others – lives that were for now running parallelly in two different parts of the Globe.

And I also know that he Knows this.

He knows everything about me.

And I know he understands me like none other.

And he is also so patient and considerate and loving.

And that has made me kind of fall more irrevocably in Love with him.

And that is why I just want to just Dive into all of this Head On with him, and I am totally focusing on working on all these matters for him.

He is Magic – This Man.

My Exclusive Magical Elixir.

And That is why I just know that I will always Love Him.

I mean – I just know it that in My Heart and Head both that I will only Just Love Him.

I can never – EVER – think about anybody else.

This is it.

He is The One.

So Just To Bring a Point to Note in Here.

When I am saying and thinking to Myself – THIS IS IT.

I MEAN IN EVERY SENSE THAT THIS IS IT FOR ME!!

I mean either that this Love shouldn't have happened to me – but now that It Has – its totally Sealed and Stamped its way into My Being – Forever – Like Once and for All.

So – Like a Little Reference in context here.

Its either going to be Him or I am just going to age into and remain a Spinster all my life like Professor McGonagall – shes a badass wizard and professor at Hogwarts(the wizard school where Harry potter studied – and as a crazy fan of the Harry Potter world I would like to just take a moment to reveal – that that the young McGonagall fell in love with a handsome Muggle(non magical person).Things somehow didn't kind off work out in between the two– and she lived as a Spinster all her Life – I mean that's the last we'v heard off as the series ended .

(Don't Laugh Guys – I am very Serious about this ya)

I really do Love him with all My Heart, and hence I am going to put my heart and soul into making this work.

I can do this.

I will do this.

For Him – I will.

I am still on that line of thought when I see Arnav step out of the Caravan in that round neck navy blue warm sweatshirt and his baggy black tracks and I feel like – this handsome man must have definitely been struck by some major lightening to his head to be able to fall in love with a goof like me.(I mean to be honest and self accepting to myself – I know that's who I am – a crazy goof)

I get up on reflex from my seat and place the now empty coffee cup on the table and walk up to him and hug him close and he instantly wraps his hands around me as I whisper into his chest – " you look sinfully handsome today.."

He chuckles as he pulls me apart as he asks with a wink – " really sinfully handsome??"

I nod and I now ask him – " ok so Mr.Handsome Wizard, why don't you tell me what you want to do today, theres not much touristy activities that I had planned for us since this got extended na..."

He kisses my forhead as he says – " how about we just chill here today and relax a little...?"

I smile – " I wouldn't mind that..."

And he holds my hand as he now says – " you know now that im thinking, the last two days have been still hectic for you Sunshine, since youv been doing all the driving and you were still on tourist mode in between, I want you to just relax today.."

I kiss his hand and I admit honestly, looking into his eyes – " Dear Mr Wizard – I think I just fell in love with you all over again – your wand is like in full swing..."

He chuckles and kisses my forhead and then I see him step into the Caravn and he steps out a second later with the stoll in his hands ,the stoll that we use around ourselves as we are sitting in front of the bonefire.He wraps his one hand around my shoulder now and he shuts the Caravan door and he now gestures us to start walking and I ask – " where are we going???"

He grins – " just quiet no Khushi..come with me.."

I nod as I wrap my hand around his waist and just walk with him.

I am excited to know what he has on his mind though.

And now I see us nearing this hammock in a secluded spot which is tied to these two magnificent trees and I cant stop grinning as I see Arnav sit on it and then he instantly pulls me by the wait to his lap as he says – " I think you haven't napped in the day in ages Khushi..how about you just rest here in my arms and we can listen to some music too.."

I kiss his forhead as I say with a wink – " nap during the day in this amazing hammock with your arms around me..god I am in heaven already..."

He chuckles and takes my lips in a brief kiss and he now adjusts himself in the hammock and he gestures me to come snuggle next to him and I quickly do so and then he adjusts the stoll over us and hes hugging me from behind as his arms are around my waist and he whispers into my ears – " how about you just close your eyes and sleep now Sunshine for a while...do you want some music??"

I just hold onto his hand and encircle mine over his as I say honestly – " no, I don't need any music...you are all I need right now.."

He kisses my forhead and he's now brushing his hands over mine on my waist tenderly and his lips are against my temple,and I feel like some sort of magical peace is now starting to take me over as I now feel my eyes close on their own accord and I freefall towards a deep slumber during the day (for the first time in my Life) – in the arms of the man I Love.

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

Same Day – London – 10:30 AM

(Notting Hill)

Asher pulls Zain into a instant hug, as he says – " thank you so much Zain.."

Zain grins as he hugs his old friend as he says – " wait, just wait till Zara hears this..she is going to be so excited..shes fallen in love with South Africa anyway over our holiday.."

Asher grins and right then the main door opens and he sees his best friend Zara step in all ready to head for her Yoga class and her eyes widen in surprise as she rushes to hug Asher as she says – " wait whattt are you doing here?? You didn't even tell me..and to think I though ill just catch up with Zain before my yoga class.."

Asher – " flew in last night...I wanted to discuss a business proposition with Zain and I had to do it in person, because until a couple of days ago this was still in process , but has finally gone through yesterday morning..."

Zara keeps her yoga mat aside and plonks on the sofa as she says – "what is it??"

Asher grins – " the big bus acquisition for us taking over its operations in South Africa has finally gone through Zara and I have so much on my hands already, I want Zain to come Head this for me..and theres no one else who can do this better than him..."

Zara beams in happiness as she laces her hands through her fiances arms – " oh yes, my Zain is the best travel blogger anyway, and such a successful travel entrepreneur – Travel Diaries is more than settled Zain, I think this will be a good opportunity for you to just explore entrepreurship and still be connected to your love for tourism.."

Travel Diaries was Zain's travel venture as it was a online portal and website covering travel and reward tips, reviews and more, the site had various bloogers getting into a community to just publish information about everything related to the needs of modern day travels like how to maximise your credit card points to travel guides for different areas

Zain grins – " yes it will be my love, and hence iv already told Asher a Yes..we move to Cape Town next month baby.."

Zara jumps in excitement – " ohh wow....Zain..im so excitedddd..."

Zain grinned as he speaks – " im going to talk to ammi immediately so that we can fast track the Nikah ceremony..thats ok right??

Zara grins – " more than ok my love..why don't you talk to ammi first..ill also just call home in some time or maybe just miss my yoga today and go back home and discuss the same with ammi..but why don't you start talking to ammi and abbu first.ill come in.."

Zain grins and he walks out from the living room to his parents room.

Zara hugs Asher as she states – " you are going to help me get that villa that is for sale, the one I loved right down 100 meters from your place..."

Asher grinned – "well you were so vocal about it when you were leaving that if you ever moved to Cape town you would live in a villa like that..Zain already asked me to get on that.."

Zara grins as she now gestures her friend to come sit next to her on the sofa as she getsures the helper to get them some tea and she asks – " Asher, South Africa is two hours ahead of us on time right??"

Asher nods and he asks – " yes it is, why do you ask??"

Zara grins – "well because there is someone I want to call immediately and tell about my move to Cape Town.."

Asher – " who??"

Zara grins – " khushi ofcourse..."

Asher smiles on reflex.

Khushi.

The One he hadn't been able to get out of his head at all – even though he knows very well that theres no chance for him in here.

But his Heart keep shoving her thoughts in his head every now and then, anyway.

The helper serves them tea and Zara sips on hers – " Asher, you are into her, your smile tells me that.."

Asher sips on his tea and shrugs – " yes, but like I told you, she already has someone in Her Life Zara, and I respect that.."

Zara rolls her eyes – " okk, fine I understand that, but then why don't you start meeting all these girls aasra aapi and your ammi have shortlisted for you..think about marriage now Asher its about time...you'v kept yourself away from all of this after that experience with Zoya in first year university because of the way things ended..and then youb buried yourself into work..stop it Asher..time to shift focus to your heart.."

Asher just shrugged and took another sip of his tea.

Zoya had been the only girl he had been in a relationship for a year back in the first year of university, he had liked her a lot ,and just when he thought things were getting serious in between them, she chose being transferred to Yale (ivy league university) in the second year and broke up with him immediately on the pretext that she couldn't do – Long Distance. That it would never work.

Well you cant really force yourself on someone who wants to cut you out of their life, so then he'd just let it go too, because yes he did like her a lot, but it was not Love,and then he found out within four weeks of her moving to the US that she'd already moved on.

He didn't want to get into another experience and thought if he did get into one – it would be a serious long term commitment once and for all, and he only had planned for that to happen for himself in some more time down the Line,maybe another year or two, because his fathers sudden death had made him dip his head deep into work.

And Now strangely – His Head has been thinking a lot about Khushi.

Asher – " Zara, I am not going to shift into something until I am ready in my head for it, it will be unfair to the other person right, I am just working on getting Khushi out of my head, maybe then.."

Zara nods as she sips her tea – " I understand Asher..but she is quite interesting, one of a kind I must say..."

Asher chuckles on reflex now as he says – " one of a kind indeed Zara, do you know when I asked her in the hospital that day if she didn't miss her special someone,and didn't want him to be there..she said – I knew about all this geographical distance in between of us since day one so honestly it doesn't matter if he isn't here, I will be ok once I just talk to him, im here only, things get complicated, like short circuit happens but the current still flows right.."

Zara grinned – " shes special, that one im telling you...",and she paused as she spoke – "maybe you were also smitten by that simplicity and honesty, because of the way things ended with Zoya, I mean distance was the reason why..."

Asher shrugged – " not really, maybe a little, but shes just one interesting character, what can I say..and I did text her to check on her if she was ok, and she thanked me for that and did tell me her hoodie guy flew straight into Cape town after speaking to me, so I am happy for her.."

Zara – " hoodie guy??"

Asher grinned – " yes that's what she calls him.."

Zara finished her cup of tea – " ok anyway, im going to call her soon.."

Asher just sips on his tea and Khushi's smiling face revolves in front of his eyes.

He had to get his heart to understand a way out for This – It couldn't keep thinking about the one It couldn't have.

Khushi had Her Hoodie Guy Already.

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

Arnav's POV

(Cape Town – 1.00 PM)

My eyes flutter open on reflex.

I don't know how and when did sleep take over me as well.

Maybe because I was feeling nothing short of Bliss in these moments of my Life.

The steady moving rhythm of the Hammock,and this serene place and Khushi sleeping peacefully in his arms in it kind of off did make me doze off to a deep slumber.

It felt actually to just pause and laze around actually.

And right then I feel Khushi twist in my arms as she snuggles into me and I kiss her forhead on reflex and she asks sleepily – " time arnav??"

I flipped my phone out of the pocket and looked at it – " 1 pm khushi..."

And I chuckle as I see her eyes widen open immediately as she looks at me and makes that I am dead expression with her hand – " I slept for two hours in the day???????goddd...arnav..you make me feel so much peace.."

I kissed her forhead lovingly – " thank you sunshine..and I could say the same..."

She grins as she looks at me – " ok..how about we head for a quick lunch to the restaurant, I do feel like I really want to have that beer with my chicken wings.."

I grin – " id love that.."

She smacks my lips – " oh and after can we make just go to this supermarket around the corner, I mean its just two miles, I do want to stock up on some groceries for home as well, and I also want to cook you some pasta tonight..and also get some eggs for us to have omelette tomorrow morning..i know you don't complain, but you are not used to just coffee and toast for breakfast everyday no hoodie guy?"

I grin as I cup her face – " on one condition and that is that you are going to let me help you.."

She grins – " totally.."

I take her lips in a deep kiss immediately and she starts to respond with equal fervour which drives me insane anyway and about five to ten minutes later,as we now pause on to catch our breathe she finally straightens up on the hammock and swings sideways and sits and I do the same and she still has her eyes closed and I ask – " you ok??"

She nods as she says – " yes yes..im just catching on my breath ya hoodie guy.."

I chuckled and she now opens her eyes and grins at me with a mischevious wink – " you love this don't you.."

I nod honestly - "you mean the fact that I have this impact on you..totally love it..", I finish with a wink.

And right then Khushi's phone rings and she picks It out of her denims pocket as she says – " that's Zara calling, she did share her contact details with me before leaving, I did tell you na hoodie guy I shared my number with her...is it ok if I take this call hoodie guy??"

I nod as I kiss her hand but to my surprise she puts on the speaker and I hear a young cheerful voice come through – " Khushiiiiii, I just had to call you, I was so excited about this..but first you tell me are you ok?? As in you are feeling well right? No migraine again?"

I smile – I was happy that Zara and Zain and Asher had helped Khushi during that entire episode.

Khushi – " yes Zara, I am absolutely fine now, and honestly never been better..",and she laces her hand through mine as she says that.

That Makes My Heart Flip – a Zillion Times Over!

Zara – " greattttt Khushi..ok so hear this out, me and Zain are moving to Cape Town next month...its final.."

I hear Khushi ask with curiousity – " really Zara, that's great but how come all of a sudden?"

Zara – " actually not sudden, now I know I mean Zain told me that Asher did give him a hint over this last we were there, but nothing was final then because it all had to formally go through..and now it has, Asher flew in here last night to talk to Zain about this – the Big Bus acquisition has gone through for him but you know since Asher has his hands full, he wants Zain to head this for him and take over operations like in four weeks...so we'v preponed the Nikah as well to next week.."

I am loving the way Khushi is playing with our hands right now, swaying it a little and I see her smile wonderfully as she says into the phone – " congratulations Zara..convey the same to Zain also please..i am so happy for you two.."

Zara – " and I am going to see you soon, in your city Khushi.."

Khushi – " yes Zara, sure, we can catch up once you are here.."

Zara – " great Khushi..",and she pauses as she says – " here speak to Asher, hes asking me to check if you are feeling better..",and I hear a hustle in the background as Zara voice comes through in the background – " asher ask yourself..."

Khushi gives me a look as she raises her eyes in a gesture to ask me if it was ok for her to talk, before she said anything and I was just so touched by the simple gesture that I nodded immediately.

I trusted Khushi more than anything.

I kiss her hand as a gesture to tell her that I am absolutely ok,and right then I hear a man's deep voice come through the phone – " Hi Khushi..."

I see Khushi take a deep breathe as she says – " hello asher.."

Asher – " I just wanted to check on you Khushi, I hope you are perfectly fine now, the doctor did ask you to get some rest, I hope you are doing that.."

Ok – so just by his tone and voice I could figure out that Mr.Tricky Bouncer had been thinking off Khushi.

I hear Khushi reply – " yes I am doing that Asher, thank you so much, I am perfectly fine,never been better actually, he is here no, my hoodie guy,and I want to thank you too..you spoke to him while I was in the MRI.. if you hadn't assured him that things were stable with me , he would have been really worried all through his flying time to get here..thank you so much Asher.."

Ok.

So now I just want to take Khushi's lips in a ravishing kiss straight away.

Like straight away.

Asher – " you are welcome Khushi, I am happy for you..take care then..ill see you sometime around when im back in Cape town.."

Khushi – " take care Asher..",and she hangs up and right as she does, I push her back into the hammock and take her Lips in a ravishing kiss straight away.

There is no other way to express my emotion to her right now than to just keep kissing her hard.

This is what she does to me.

SHE DAMM – HIT WICKETS MY HEART EVERY SECOND.

She pulls apart many heated minutes later as she says, still heaving against my lips, her hands still wrapped tightly around my neck and still clutched into my hair as she whispers against my lips – " hoodie guy..i think..i..need..to..catch a breathe.."

I kiss her forhead immediately and her nose softly as I whisper looking into her eyes – " unfortunately we do still have to breathe.."

She nods and kisses my cheek, now blushing to that shade of the usual tomato puree and I get up now and take her hand as I say – " cmon lets get you your chicken wings and beer..."

She wraps her hand around my waist as she says – " you know im going to try those in house different flavours of beer today hoodie guy.."

I kiss her forhead lovingly and we make our way towards the restaurant.

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

Arnav's POV Continues

630 PM

We had an amazing lazy lunch, chatted with each other in the brewery till around 3pm and then we went to the supermarket.

Ok so with Khushi – even something as simple like a trip to the supermarket is like really eventful.

Because you gotta see her amusing expressions as she picks out her stuff and places it in her basket – like its like evry thought or contemplation that's going in that fascinating head of hers plays its expressions on her face.

It really fascinates me, because I have never met someone who is so transparent that she absolutely has no qualms in having her each and every thought reflect on her face.And can you beat this though – she didn't let me hold the basket because she was like no way your wrist just got better and then I got us the wheeled cart and thankfully she transferred the stuff into that happily and let me take care of it.

And then we came back to the Camp and we binged watch like two episodes of the Crown on my phone snuggling into the bed in the Caravan and then she reminded that it was going to be time for Sunset and she took me by the hand and rushed me out here.

So Now.

The Sun is about to go down and today for a change, we have come to sit on our usual rocky platform already,and I just lace my hands through Khushi's shoulder and she leans her head on my shoulder like shes been doing every sunset time for the last couple of days and I kiss her other free hand and I ask – " you are deep in thought Sunshine.."

She looks up at me sideways as she says with a lot of emotion in her eyes – " yes Arnav..im just like thinking to myself, that this time with you is like a dream, I feel very happy, I want you to know that you make me very very happy.."

I kiss her hand automatically – " same here Khushi.."

And she says softly – " I am sorry about that call with Asher, I mean it was so instant Arnav, I didn't think Zara would have handed him the phone, and then I just thought it would be rude.."

I kiss her forhead as I admit honestly – " khushi, I trust you and I also want you to know that naturally I am a very possessive person ok? Like yes I am, but in our case and with this long distance thing happening for us , I think iv beeb kind of working on it in my head because other wise this insecurity can drive us both insane.."

She nods as she says – " I know what you mean, there are going to be a lot of girls around you by default all the time Arnav..."

And I say honestly – " and I do think with Zara and Zain's move here to Cape town you might also see a lot of Asher around you , and I do think you have caught his interest.."

Her eyes widen at that worriedly and I say immeditealy – " but it is not your fault khushi, like I said you are honest to him about the fact that you already have someone in your life, and you are crystal clear in your heart, and he knows that – and to be honest I don't really blame him for feeling this way because you are priceless Khushi, and you are clueless about it, its one of the things about you that captivated me a lot from the very start itself, so you have no idea how much I thank god that I got the first mover advantage here..as in that I am thankful that I already have a place in your heart before some tricky bouncer came along and tried to whisk you away.."

She looks at me amused – "really tricky bouncer..?"

I grin as I tell her – " so you know with entire Aisha Khanna controversy and then asher khan making an entry in your life, I kind of termed them as tricky bouncers in my head and would just pray each day that keep these two tricky bouncers out of my way god, just until I can see you in person and kickstart things for us officialyy.."

She grinned now and gave me a wink – " whattt???? First mover advantage???tricky bouncer and all haan..witty you.."

I chuckle – " you rub on me what can I say.."

And right then she moves closer into me as she cups my face and she kisses my forhead as she speaks tenderly and she says looking into my eyes intently – "well technically I did date Armaan for a shortwhile before you came into my Life Arnav..but ..",and she closes her eyes and theres so much emotion on her face, again those honest play of expressions that I so deeply love – " but I swear to god, i mean I don't want to sound unfair to him, he was a nice guy..but I just didn't feel it like even like a tad bit of what iv been feeling for you...like I have never felt this way ever before Arnav..and its you who has captured every single corner of my heart making me feel love in all its glory..its you dammit..only you...my heart can only beat this way for you...",and she opens her eyes and they are wet with happy emotions and I just hug her hard to myself, first and like I always do, take her lips in a ravishing kiss before she can speak anything further, and many minutes later, I let her break away and she whispers, cupping my face and close against my lips - " like you just said, I think we both just need to blindly trust each other Arnav..and to tell you something honestly after spending all this time with you I just feel like we are so strong in our bond, this connection is strongly rooted in our hearts, lets promise that we will not let anything or anyone else kind off trigger any sort of a insecurity in us, until we have heard the others side of the tale..because these things can happen no Arnav..with all this distance...I promise to only believe what you tell me..because I trust you Arnav..i trust you more than anything in this world..."and she closes her eyes and I hug her close as I say – " and I trust you more than anything khushi...and I think what you just suggested is like the perfect rule that will help us tackle this smoothly, and I promise to believe only what you say too.."

She looks up at me as she says honestly – " just one more thing..."

I gesture her to just speak it out – "what is it??"

She closes her eyes again and her voice is deep in emotion as she says – " just incase..i mean..just incase..you feel one day that this ...",and she gestures to her my heart and hers – " that this isn't working out for you anymore, please tell me yourself honestly, I will step away graciously, I mean, the day you tell me yourself that you have someone else in your life..i will step away..without a scene I promise, but please don't let me know from elsewhere, as in...don't let there be a circumstance like..",and she pauses.

And I want to hear her out completely before I get to replying to her and I say – " like what??"

She doesn't open her eyes as she says – " like what happened with your friend Ravi at a afterparty..because that is something that is totally unacceptable to me Arnav..it will break me,and it will hurt me in a way that I fear my mind will never let me speak to you again..and I promise you the same in return, Arnav, because I know this is also a deal breaker for you...I promise to never break your trust.."

I feel like she is going to cry now and I don't want her too and so I say in a lighter note– " such a thing will never happen Khushi..and you know why to safeguard myself in every way, im going to now follow your rules on all my afterparty's never going to take a drink from anyones hand..and I already do trust you more than anything..i know that as in I trust in our hearts that none of us are going to screw this up..for we both know that this is too precious right???",and I gesture to our hearts and I kiss her hand – " so now that we have talked about the latter event which is never going to happen anyway, I want to address the former again – like I said khushi and I will say it again, you are not my stopover, you are my final destination..and I mean it..i bloody mean it..look into my eyes and tell me if my eyes tell you anything but that...my heart knows that its search is over, its You Khushi, whom I love wholeheartedly..."

She nods as she looks into my eyes – " And I feel the same arnav..you are my final destination too...I hope my eyes are able to tell you that too.."

I nod as I cup her face – " they do Sunshine, now please tell me do you feel better now, is there anything else you need to let out or anything else that's bothering you?? Just talk to me Khushi, like you always do...and I will do the same, that will keep us going strong.."

She shakes her head and just snuggles into me from the side and wraps her hands around my waist and right then the sun starts going down, and we are snuggling into each other in that comfortable silence again,and I kind of feel very happy secured that we both just had this conversation, and I know so does she.

Because this sense of security is what we are going to need – when we continue to live our lives across the globe from each other.

Because I know – Khushi still needs time before she can start thinking about the smooth transition into my world, because I know her entire Life is here – she plans to finish her CA by November, but her third year will only finish by next year May, which Is still 11 months to go from now,and it will be very insensitive off me to even expect her to just uproot it all here, because I know these are her dreams and expectations off herself related to her late parents.

So.

I think its better for us to take one step at a time and just hold onto this Love and Faith in each other.

And we will be ok.

I know we will be.

Because For Her – There isn't anything in this world I wouldn't do.

She was my Bliss.

My Purest Bliss.

Khushi's POV

11.00 PM

I just finished sipping on my second glass of wine,and I keep my glass aside and snuggle deep into Arnav's embrace from the front as we are sitting by the bonfire, holding each other.

Because we both know – that we have to leave here soon now.

I mean tomorrow by 5pm we would have to leave here and I only had like technically next 28 -to max 29 hours to just be with him, until he could see me by the end of November – we are into like the first ten days of June right now so – timeline to November end was like still 5 months.

And I just enjoy his embrace now, as he bends forward and keeps the empty glass of his wine on the side.

So I had cooked us some pasta and maggi for dinner and I had let him help through it all, like he actually also did help me do the dishes after and in the prepration he had brilliantly cut the veggies for the pasta too and we had so much fun while just doing something simple like that, and now after dinner we were just sitting sipping on the wine we had picked out from the store earlier in the afternoon(and it was kind of a local wine and it was insanely strong – it was starting to get to me actually)and I was also heading towards being drunk because of all the passionate Torture Arnav has been unleashing on my lips as he takes them in for a ravishing kiss every now and then in between and then also that he had already unleashed his sweet torture on my neckline and shoulder blades in between our first glass of wine to the second one just like he had done the first day in front of the bonefire.

And.

Let me not even get started on the not so gentle marks hed left there on my skin to give me goosebumps and make me tremble even after he left.

I know – that's whats his motive is.

He is Crazy!

And I am Crazzzzzyyyyy About Him.

And.

He was also very Addictive this Man.

Unfair Unfair ya..het him behind Azkaban already, Ministry of Magic for Forbidden Magical Carnage is – he is unleashing on Me. But keep a spot empty for me please next to him, for I am totally following him where ever he is going.

And. On that Note – a random thought.

I discovered something new today.

And that is that Mr.Vice Captain of the Indian Cricket Team could work the knife like that.

He was bloody brilliant.

And I chuckle on reflex as he asks – " what thought went through your head Khushi??"

I look at him up as I say with a wink – " the thought that I didn't know that Mr.Vice Captain of the Indian Cricket Team could work the knife like that..your hands were so killer with the knife, hoodie guy...",and I paused as his hands are now starting to caress my waist and I just close my eyes as I say – "and because im starting to get a little tipsy now,or no..like im heading towards that point of you know like from just tipsy to drunk – this wine is like super strong ya...but anyway I think I can tell you that its not just the knife your hands are killer with..look at all this sensation you are making me feel by just touching me just over my tee and with just the way you are caressing my waist right now Arnav..you are going to burn me dammit.."

And just like I had anticipated him too he instantly now turns me around and ravages my Lips again.

And hes holding my hair into a hard fist as he's holding me the closest into him as close as humanly possible,and he continues to kiss me passionately and madly.

He literally makes me feel like that he could never kiss me enough.

And I cant even begin to mention – How Intoxicating is that Emotion.

And now all I can do is just shiver and tremble and I try to ravish his lips too, but no he won't let me dominate.

Many heated minutes later I break away and I fill up our glasses with some more wine and he says – " Khusi are you sure?? you did say you are feeling high.."

I nod as I say – " hoodie guy...I don't know if you remember but when I start to get high..i kind of fall of to asleep, which I think I am going to in the next five minutes, but before I crash to a blissful sleep in your arms and you are going to have to carry me in and tuck me to bed, I just want to enjoy this feel of getting intoxicated in your arms , for it feels like alcohol isn't the one that's more intoxicating, its this passionate carnage that you unleash on me that makes high,and now mix of the two..im like in a different zone....your every touch flames me..and this is when my skin hasn't even felt your touch over it because of my clothes as a barrier..gosh....Arnav...",and I take a couple of sips of my wine and I see him take his as his jaw is now twitching intensely and I know he is sipping on the drink to kind of calm himself down because of the insanity he is feeling himself because of what I just said to him and I chuckle as I gulp down the rest of my wine and I try to stand up, but my knees give me away and he gets up and catches me just in time as he now scoops me in his arms and I say, now my eyes heaving with sleep – " serves you right dammit, you should know what all this sweet passionate torture feels like.."

I feel him tighten his hold on me as i wrap my arms around his neck for support and I can only whisper in his ears – " im glad you just kissed me that way Arnav..for now im going to sleep like any minute..."

I am all dazed as I feel my eyes now starting to close on their own accord but I feel him place me on the bed gently as he takes my sneakers off – He is sso Adorable! God I love Him.

And then now I feel him tenderly adjust the blanket on me and he bends forward and kisses my forhead and then he briefly takes my lips in a brief single lip kiss as he whisper against my lips – " you are Bliss..my freaking torturous sweet bliss and I am going to fine you for this this insanely intoxicating word-ly torture tomorrow right before I leave..know that Sunshine.."

Ok, so I am just on the verge of like slipping into sleep and I hold his tee by the nape of his neck in a fist as I say – " I love you, Arnav...",and I smack his lips briefly and fall back into the pillows and I just hold onto his hand and pull him right next to me and I snuggle into him as sleep finally takes Over.

And Oh – Now because sleeps taken over I cant voice this to him.

But I can still process a thought or two in my Head.

Thought No 1 - He was Bliss Too.

Every Damm Minute of Being In Love with Him was like Being in Bliss Too.

Thought No 2 – And He was not Just Any Bliss.

He was a Magical Bliss.

My Magical Bliss.
