Part 18
I sat on the bed as Arnav walked towards the stand next to his bed, he filled a glass of water and walked back towards me as he handed me the glass, I smiled at him and took it as I took a sip, I was actually thirsty.
"I hope you're feeling comfortable here." He said as he settled down next to me and looked at me keenly, it felt strange seeing a completely different side of him, it was like today I was meeting a new Arnav, not the one I used to meet at school daily.
"Yeah, I am." I smiled at him.
"Come I'll show you the rest of the house." He got hold of my hand and pulled me along with him, I followed him as he took me to all the rooms one by one, the house was beautiful, but the rooms were more beautiful and everyone had their own rooms.
His parent's room was just a simple normal kind of a room, Ashi's room was full of colorful teddies and toys and what not, next we went to his elder brother's room which was mostly the same as Arnav's and in the end we went to his other sister's room.
It was completely the kind of a room any teenage girl would own, it was full of posters, there were posters of movies, bands, actors, singers and what not.
"She's crazy, whenever she liked any actor, she'd get a poster and stick it in her room, she's a huge fan of Bollywood and she's totally filmy." Arnav said with a smile on his face.
"You love your sister a lot, don't you?" I asked.
He nodded as he pulled me back and we both headed back to his room.
"I love both of them the same, I also love my brother but just that at times we don't get along really well, but anyway this is my small happy family." He said.
"It's nice to meet a family, I haven't seen one like this for sure and as for me mom is my only family." I said sadly as I went back into the past, at times I wondered how different life would have been if dad was still alive.
A tear drop escaped my eyes and Arnav immediately cupped my face, he looked me into the eyes and wiped off my tears with his thumb.
"Are you okay? Should I do something to make you feel better?" He asked as he looked at me in concern.
"Nothing, I'm fine I just remembered dad." I looked away from me but he made me face him again, he pulled me closer as he kept on staring at me into the eyes and then slowly his eyes fell on my lips, he brushed his thumb against them and I swear, I had never felt something like this.I mean it was beautiful, romantic, you know that feeling you get when you're reading a romantic novel and the boy and girl are about to kiss and then the way it's described just makes you feel all sorts of feelings in the world? That's how it exactly felt at the moment.
He moved closer to me and I knew he was about to kiss me and as much as I wanted to stop him, I couldn't, maybe the inner me wanted this, to feel his lips against mine, to feel that sensation.He brushed his lips lightly against mine and I felt like I was going to fall down, my legs felt so weak, it was hard to really describe that feeling but I'm sure every girls must have felt like this when they got kissed for the first time.
He pulled apart suddenly and turned to face the opposite way, I don't know what anyone else would have felt in this situation but I felt disappointed.
Yes, I know I was the one who told him terrible things last night when he wanted to kiss me and all but I was usual teenage girl and I always dint mean what I said and right now all I wanted was to feel his lips against mine but he disappointed me.
I dint know why he pulled apart, wasn't he the bad boy who slept around with random girls, I'm so sure he must have kissed half the girls in school then what was wrong with me? Why didn't he want to kiss me?
"I am sorry, I shouldn't have... I know you don't like me, in fact you hate me and I just tried to... I think we should head downstairs, dinner must be ready." He shrugged.
He turned the other way and walked out of the room leaving me wondering, was it because there was something wrong with me or because there was something wrong with him?
I headed downstairs and saw him standing with a pretty gorgeous girl, she was almost his height, she was wearing a tiny black dress with some pretty heels, I figured she must be his other sister.
"I heard you brought your girlfriend home? Where is she? I want to meet the girl who managed to make Arnav Raizada fall in love." She giggled.
Arnav gave her a look and then turned to looked towards the staircase, he smiled as he walked towards me, wrapped his arm around my waist again and looked at his sister.
"She's the one." He said proudly.
"Oh My God! She's gorgeous and I already love her fashion sense." His sister acted the usual teenage girlish way as she looked at me with a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Khushi, that's my sister Krystle, she's the craziest one in the house and my most favorite one." Arnav smiled broadly.
I walked towards Krystle and greeted her as she started talking to me about random stuff as if we knew each other from long.
Arnav kept on staring at the both of us getting along for so long, he looked so happy about it and although I dint know why he looked so happy I was just glad that he was happy.
He walked towards us and got hold of my hand suddenly, he twirled me around, wrapped his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him, he looked at me with moist eyes and I swear, this guy was difficult to understand, at times he was happy, at times he seemed like he would cry, I was just so confused.
He wrapped me into his arms so tight as if I was going to run away and I was just left surprised, it was awkward obviously, his sister was standing with us and he was hugging me in front of her, I wasn't really used to this.
"Don't worry, that's his way of expressing his happiness, anytime anyone makes him happy he would just hug them like this, I've been getting a lot of this kind of hugs so it's normal." Krystle giggled.
"I'll go check if dinner is really." He pulled apart and headed to the kitchen directly without looking at me.
Standing here right now, there wasn't even a part of me that wanted to believe that Arnav was the same bad boy I knew, coming here and visiting his whole family, I had only one question in my mind, what made him the bad boy?
He walked back from the kitchen carrying a bowl that he placed on the dining table, there was a smirk on his face and that told me, the bad boy had returned.
"Dinner is ready love." He smirked at me, Krystle giggled as she got hold of my hand and pulled me towards the dining table, we settled down and soon we were joined by Arnav's dad and mom and Ashi, the only missing person was his brother.
"So Khushi, tell me how you fell in love with Arnav, I've been yearning for ages to see him with a girlfriend, I mean the real girlfriend, not the fake ones he brings home trying to convince us they're real." His mom giggled.
"How are you sure I'm the real one then?" I smiled as I looked at Arnav with a smirk, if he was back to being the bad boy, I was back to being the old Khushi that hated Arnav and was doing all this to get rid of him.
"Because I know, there's no way he could meet a girl like you and not fall in love." His mom smiled as he looked at Arnav, I wasn't really able to understand what she said but I just pretended to blush.
"We met at school mom, talked like I talk to everyone as usual and because she's so gorgeous, I fell for her." Arnav said casually.
"Oh shut up, you'll always be unromantic." His father gave him a look.
"Exactly, learn something from your dad." His mom giggled as she looked at Arnav then his father and then blushed.
Seriously, this family was such a cute little family I felt like hugging them all tight just like Arnav had done to me a while back, I dint even for once feel like I was sited in between a family that was so rich, yes they were rich but they dint show that off and they dint even care what background I came from, the only thing that was important to them was that I was Arnav's girlfriend.
"Sorry I'm late." A voice came from the entrance, all the heads turned towards the entrance, I saw a guy standing there, he looked a bit elder than Arnav and ofcourse his brother was missing so I figured it must be him.
He walked inside eying me strangely and then looked at Arnav seriously, Arnav seemed to be a little bit nervous.
"Freshen up then join us for dinner, Arnav brought his girlfriend so you can meet her too." His mom smiled.
"Sure mom." He said seriously not taking his eyes off Arnav yet.
"Love, he's Ahaan, my elder brother." Arnav said as he placed his hand on mine and smiled at me.
"Hi Ahaan." I greeted him with a smile.
"Hi, Arnav can we talk?" Ahaan shrugged as he looked at Arnav seriously and then walked away, Arnav stood up and followed him leaving me tensed.
It was obvious his brother dint like me, just that I dint know why... I just sat there feeling awkward, wondering what his brother might be thinking about me.
"I don't know what's taking them so long." Arnav's mom said after a few minutes.
"I'll go and call them." I said as I stood up immediately and headed upstairs, I need to know what was happening.
"No!" I heard Arnav's voice, it sounded so angry. I rushed towards the direction it was coming from and it led me to his brother's room, I stopped outside staring at both the brothers, they were standing face to face looking at each other like they were enemies and not brothers.
"You can't commit the same mistake again Arnav, you know this will risk her life, she was almost kidnapped once for heaven sake! I had warned you, I told you to stay away from her because you're only risking her life.
Please Arnav for heaven sake, I know we don't agree on a lot of things but I am saying but I am your brother and I care for you and I am sorry but I don't want to see you in a the same state you were years back." Ahaan said as he walked towards Arnav and pulled him into a hug.
"I know it's difficult Arnav, but you know if I had a choice, I would always choose your happiness." He said sadly.
"I know, I'll keep that in mind, anyway we should head downstairs before mom and dad start doubting." Arnav said.
I quickly turned around and headed downstairs, maybe everything wasn't actually as normal as it seemed to be, maybe there was something really deep that I had no idea about and now I had some answers and more questions.
I knew I was being followed because of Arnav and I knew there was a lot Arnav was hiding from me but there were like a million questions I wanted to ask him but I couldn't because after today we were going to be strangers once again.That was the deal anyway wasn't it?
