18. Horizon

One and a Half (1.5)Days Later

3:00 Pm in the afternoon

On the Boat

Manizeh walks out on the deck now, after changing and freshening up. They'd all just finished their work routine for the day and the hustle bustle was all over the boat- as everyone was focusing on winding up, changing, getting the tech/diving equipments, back in place – as their boat began sailing on its route back to the harbour.

Technically, today was supposed to be another edit, compilation, meetings+ back work day, but there had been a sudden change in the schedule, last evening, due to last minute weather predictions/forecast over the two water zones, they were yet to explore, cover and record – spanning the next couple of days.

Ultimately, that resulted in – pre-scheduling off all the remaining dives on this leg of work in Sydney – for as per the weather/tidal/forecast went+ the suggestions from the local authorities – they did have a clear window for these two zones, only for these next three days. So for obvious, reasons, the remainder compilation and the back end work – was shifted to later, and now they were scheduled to set out exploring and diving, for the next two more days, back to back.

Manizeh continues her walk up towards deck now, with the aim of asking Khushi to get back in and change too, now that she was done. The divers obviously took their turns, and Manizeh and Khushi had been helping the tech team in the wind up – whilst the other divers on the team had taken their turn on the same first, post which, Khushi had asked, Manizeh to head on in first.

Manizeh was expecting Khushi to be chilling by herself at the far end of the deck, now, as she made her way there, given that she'd spotted everyone from the tech team – head back to the other end , which was a sign that they were done with their wind up bit and given that Khushi wasn't seen getting back with them – Manizeh, surely, knew the spot where she could find her bestie – in – at the moment.

And she was right, absolutely.

For it is right then, she spots Khushi just chilling out there with her hands folded on the railing, enjoying the sun and the breeze – still pretty much suited in her diving suit sans the gear. And the smile she had on her face, was definitely contagious, so much so that it made Manizeh bite her grin now as she walked up to stand next to her, saying – " and that smile, is surely, not just that of work contentment Khushi, because of the excellent data we got on record today or the bit that we will still be on a back to back – dive schedule for the next two days. This smile, surely has everything to do with Arnav. Right? I mean, now that we are done with work, its surely him you thinking off??,"and she adds further teasing – " oh, wait up? do you wana go and stand on the v -end off the boat instead and pretend to be flying with your hands to the side, titanic style?? I could take a picture and totally just photoshop, Arnav into the picture later...,"she finishes with a teasing chuckle.

That obviously makes Khushi look up at Manizeh chuckling herself as she says eyeing the V end – further down – " yeah...not a bad idea...actually..Manizeh...but perhaps...I'll wait to get an actual shot with him, in the same context, one day....why photoshop ya..."

Manizeh sidehugs Khushi at that happily, as she asks – " yeah, that will be kool. You clicked one titanic shot for Amaar and me , already back in Fiji...on his yatch...so...only fair...I click you one too...with Arnav in real time....soon...k?"

Khushi grins – " soon...surely..."

Manizeh grins – " so....listen...you wana go and change now??we are all done...only you are left??"

Khushi shakes her head in a No at that and grins – " Nah. Not yet, I wana be here for the next five minutes for sure. Just soaking the moment in.The breeze, and the warmth of the sun...will dry up my diving suit..anyway...in the next five or seven minutes...right?? and yes, I am kinda caught up in a thought about him...only...obviously..."

Manizeh grins as she says – " indeed..it will...dry in five...go on...finish thinking your thought through, for only then, will you talk to me about it, I know.... ,"and she sees Khushi nod at that and zone into that happy grin mode again – while gazing out at the horizon.

She obviously knew of the developments from Khushi, so she was aware of how both of them(A&K) had worked through that another significant emotional stage – about 36 hours ago. Infact, she didn't even need Khushi to get talking on the same, for the very second, she had spotted her the next morning (yesterday), she knew, that surely there had been another significant emotional development in between the two, because, well she could just sense – Khushi's vibe to be a lot more liberated, free-er.And when she had learnt the rest eventually from Khushi, her gut instinct had been proven right.

Surely, that massive pent-up release on both their sides, had done each other significant good in the present. She had observed on the same, on the two yesterday as well, hadn't she? In the time, she'd gotten around the two over dinner? The bottom line now was, that she truly was the happiest, for Khushi – at the moment – obviously.

She is right on the thought,when she hears Khushi say pointing out to the horizon now – " hmmmm....so....you know, Manizeh, how standing from here, on the boat, as it speeds away back to the harbour, the very context of the vision of the far horizon, that we can see from our eyes, keeps changing?? Like it keeps getting smaller, faded?? As we go further back...."

Manizeh nods – " exactly,for that vision to that horizon...is obviously, strongly influenced, by the speed of our boat taking us away right now... what about it??

Khushi finally turns around at that and leans her elbows back on the railing as she admits to Manizeh with a heartfelt smile – " I feel emotionally, I am kinda like in the middle of situation similar to this very context, just the opposite though.As in, it's like Arnav is the horizon, my vision keeps getting more clear and evolved towards, as the boat of all these rapids of intense emotions within, takes me closer to him....like with every passing...second...in the present...today.."

Manizeh smiles at that – " and boy, am I glad to hear that..."

Khushi admits now smiling even more – "and I think, I gotta thank you for this babe, for it was you, who edged me towards, replying back to him in the first place...saying...if I don't dive in, I would never know. And look, what I discovered, Manizeh. Just look, what I discovered. That the treasured vault of our emotions for one another – still stands put in all its crazy, maddening intensity. Now that I look back, I am so freaking glad, I did dive into this..ya...I mean, could I have even ever imagined even ten days ago...this...was what I would discover? In the context of Arnav and me?? most surely – No....like...it was something I couldn't even like imagine...to imagine....."

Manizeh winks – " don't thank me...babe...look...all I would say to that is...sometimes...reality can actually stump one's imagination....which surely stands true in the two of your's case...k?I think it was meant to be...this way..perhaps?and boy admit it, though, you are beyond just glad you dived into this...you are exhilirated...you look so freaking happy...he looks so freaking happy...the two of you together look so happy....like you two couldn't stop grinning over dinner yesterday like on the whole.....and that just freaking makes me so so so happy...."

Khushi chuckles and admits again – "well, I am elated...exhilarated...obviously..like...I feel like so so so happy...Manizeh...at the moment...living the present with him by my side.....,"and as that thought crosses her mind again, she admits to Manzieh, her smile shortening a little on its own accord – "but..yeah...there's that..bit that's still bothering me, though..."

Manizeh asks – " What bit??"

Khushi points to the horizon again as she says – " you know how, the horizon always exists...Manizeh, as is, in the sense, its our perception of it that keeps changing because of the spot we eye it from , or the nature's phenomenon like clouds etc around it – but the horizon always exists – nonetheless. So....Just like that.... as Arnav and me, are spending more time together and its been so intense on like all the levels....and as I obviously keep soaking in the vibes from him – it just feels like that perhaps - Arnav's feelings for me – have always been like that horizon. That just stands as is....like it always did? Just feels like, now – it was my freaking lens window within my mind/eye – that was freaking malfunctioning so hard – for all these years man, viewing him differently – totally under the influences of my very own insecurities....within...clouding my vision off him royally...I let us fade away...too...."

Manizeh sighs – " I know what you mean babe, but don't go out to beat yourself over it again. Look often, when you look back in retrospective – the present you has like a gazillion advices for the past you. But hey – this is where you need to remind yourself that – at that point – the past you did give it the best shot - it thought it could - whilst tackling a situation – no matter where/what it led too. What I mean is - No point, going their babe. It won't lead either of you anywhere. What is done is done....you can't change it...nor can he...no matter how hard you both wish...for the same...within...."

Khushi sighs, and admits – " I know....but somehow...I still can't get over, how he was okay with watching me like literally tatter his pics with a million punches for those couple of hours the other night, only so that I could vent out that pent up anger??? Only for my good? Like – that's way too selfless of him ya. Plus, then yesterday, given that we had that heavy emotional vent out with one another the other night, he made sure, that we kept it all light-hearted, jovial, stick to the present, in our time together yesterday?also because, I had my dive today?? Plus not to forget,the amazing dinner time, we all had together???? Plus add to that – this bit – I didn't tell you about yet.... he was the one, who had my sleep time alarm on his phone yesterday night,and when it buzzed he was being all like – Khushi, its time for you to sleep now, so that you get a sound sleep before your dive tomorrow....and as I witness and live all this......like a part of me just feels like...when...this is the way, he'a always freaking felt about me...why was I out there? thinking what not about him??? like I do feel....it's still going to take me time, to forgive myself over it completely, even though he doesn't seem to hold a one bit about in his head anyway....like he wont even freaking accept this angle I feel so strongly...now...that even I wronged him ya..."

Manizeh nods – " look....I know what you mean...but forgiving yourself is as important Khushi...look...I guess..it was just situational from both your ends...just accept that angle of it and free yourselves....moving on from your flaws from the past...like....if you are working on through things together...today...working on.....forgiving each other.....it's like equally important..to like..forgive your own selves in the process too..."

Khushi nods at that – " yeah I get what you mean...we both know that, ofcourse, Manizeh.We are both working on it...for sure..."

Manizeh chuckles now in reminder to Khushi – " by the way, that little frown on your face, as you mentioned the sleep time alarm from his end, says a lot...though..Khushi...you were surely disappointed? plus we have two more dive days...coming up.."

Khushi chuckles at that but admits – " of course, I was disappointed when that alarm rang in on us...because, yes, we do have a hard time taking our hands off each other..and you can surely understand..when I say..we were in the middle of a moment...when the alarm...buzzed...in....and...."

Manizeh chuckles – " ofcourse, I get it, just like...it happens to Amaar and me sometimes, with a call or something...freaking irritating that is...."

Khushi chuckles – " highly irritating indeed...but yup..I surely gotta give in to his alarm bits for tonight and tomorrow as well nonetheless...for after hearing the change in our schedule...he was anyway being all like – will you be okay diving three days in a row? That too – five rounds of dives each day? isn't that hectic...etc etc....I mean, I know he's still coming around it all in his head, he is doing his best too in that context...so yeah – I better just sleep on time..or he'll just fret insane..."

Manizeh grins – " but honestly, that's really sweet of him...Khushi..."

Khushi smiles – " I know...right?? it is so freaking sweet of him.Like hell yes, I was quite emotionally stumped nonetheless, when he got on with tucking me to bed after, holding me snug in the process...immediately..as the alarm went off...so concerned...about my sleeping hours.....plus how he himself drove me back to the accommodation at 5am in the morning...didn't let me cab it on the pretext...that he'd lose on the only morning time, he could get with me...today....."and she pauses to admit to Manizeh sighing emotionally keeping a hand over her heart – " like...I am telling you...Manizeh...the things...he making me feel in the present....are freaking emotionally crazier on the tangent within...on another level....I am freaking falling way too hard and fast for him for the present him too in the present today....just because of the way he's been caring....about me....in the present......"

Manizeh smiles at that – " And I am sure, that is surely exactly what he is aiming for... in the present..and I can easily say, it's the same for him. I mean you had to see the emotionally stumped expression on his face – when you subtly placed that hot piping cup of chamomile tea next to him, after dinner yesterday.....you got busy into chatter with Aman simultaneously...but I noticed..."(Aman and Manizeh had been with Arnav and Khushi over dinner yesterday – at the Airbnb – as hinted prior).

Khushi asks grinning now – " really? was he like clearly way too emotionally stumped??at that?"

Manizeh nods – " indeed...he was...k? the gulp down his adam's apple, gave him away...obviously..which he just hid.../covered with taking a sip...after..."

Khushi fights her happy smile at that. Now, she knew, why he'd kissed her that emotionally, just after these two left, and well, things just got heated in between the two eventually. It was the magic of the chamomile tea. Khushi fills Manizeh in now – "so well, chamomile tea has always been this comfort thing for his vocal chords...k?like since ages...Mini maa would prepare it for him with loose tea leaves even back then...in our growing up days...when ever he had his singing competitions/daily practice sessesions...etc.....and he kept on with that after too when he moved to Mumbai.....and given...that....he's just been practicing so dedicatedly ,for all these days,I just got those tea bags...for him....for I hadn't spotted him sipping on it in a couple of days.....it's like magic for his vocal chords..."

Manizeh grins – " I figured it all in my head...obviously...babe..."

Khushi grins – " aha? Did you? or did Aman leak this to you??"

Manizeh chuckles – " well, you caught me.Aman leaked it, obviously....,"and she asks curious as a thought strikes her – " hey.......wait...babe.... did you text him?Arnav?? after we got back up on the boat? A while ago???or have u just been lost in his thought?? The man will surely be fretting...Khushi..,"and she eyes her phone – " and yes....we'v got signal..."

Khushi's eyes widen at that as it strikes her, that she'd completely forgotten to do so – " oh crap...I forgot about it...because...when we got up...we got into assisting the etch team, winding up and then I'v just been lost in his thought...dude...he's going to kill me...on that note...my phone is...still in my bag...in...crap...crap...I did give him the heads up prior...that we were scheduled to sail back by 3:00 pm..and its 3:20 pm now...damm,"she says eyeing the time on her diving gear – " alright, let me just rush back in...get my phone....and text him..."

It is right then, Manizeh feels her phone beep with a ting of texts from Arnav which she reads biting her smile as she calls out to Khushi – " wait, wait...babe, don't go in...come back here...he's just texted me...now..."

Khushi walks back to Manzieh at the speed of light and takes her phone to read Arnav's messages.

Arnav – text no 1 : Manizeh, you have no idea how hard it was for me to wait for these 20 mins before finally seeing no other way out than to try texting you. Its freaking 320 pm. Khushi mentioned, you were scheduled to sail back by 3:00pm which surely means you'd be out by the waters by 230 -240 at the max right? But, I still haven't received a text from Khushi. Is she up? Out of the water? Or has there been a little delay in your schedule...during execution of the last dive, before ??after?during preps or something??? Have you sailed back?

Arnav text no 2 : I am just freaking unable to get through her number. So, please, please just get back to me, on this, as soon as you see this. I am freaking out...in worry here...

Arnav text no 3 : Is there just a delay or what??? like there surely has to be a delay?

Arnav text no 4 : from next time onwards, will you just text me too? Manizeh??????when you guys are back up? Oh wait – the messages are delivering, so that means, there is signal in your phone.Then... Why is her phone, still not freaking reachable??????

Just as Khushi observes, Arnav's still typing bit continue to come up on screen now – she finally says to Manizeh now biting back her smile – " guess, ill just use your phone to call him then? Manizeh...no point, wasting a couple of minutes, aiming to get my phone on inside?he'll probably break his screen in worry...or else...."

Manizeh chuckles and nods – " indeed....go on...you buzz him...ill go in...you come and change in after...k?????"

Khushi nods and she finally calls Arnav immediately and hears him rant into the phone after picking up in the first ring – " Manizeh....you there??? Thank god you called.Where is Khushi???? Is everything okay????? Please...tell me dammit....fast....or were you all just late on Schedule...???where is Khushi? is it possible for me to speak to her?for just a second?? All I need is to hear her voice...that's it...and if she is busy...probably you just confirm me...she's okay???"

Khushi bites her chuckle at that ,her heart was flooding with emotions for him as she says now in a rush wanting him to ease down immediately – " Arnav....shhh....relax....its me....only...everything is okay....and I saw your texts on Manizehs phone right now.... so I thought...I'll just buzz you...and.. no...we were not late on schedule....it's my bad....I am sorry...k?it's like...it just totally slipped my mind to text you prior....as in...I got busy with the tech team immediately after coming up...and then...I was just like enjoying the breeze and the warmth of the sun on the deck...lost in thought....like legit...I am still in my diving suit...haven't even changed yet...phones just still in my bag inside.....switched off...."

She hears Arnav sigh in a massive relief at that first before he says – " khushi...baby...godammit...thank god it's you....you are okay...."

And she instantly says to that – " yes...baby...it's me...I am okay...."

And she hears him add next immediately – " Khushi..baby...you can't do this to me...dammit...you just can't...like you cannot forget to text me...once up....just one word would do...and if you are caught up in something...ask Manizeh to send just that to me....i'll be okay....like....do you have any idea how many crazy hyper texts of mine await you on whtsapp? In worry?? Just switch on your phone...you will know..anyways....now just give me a freaking second to drink a glass of water to calm my nerves...."

Khushi chuckles at that as she admits – " Manizeh will surely anyway text you here on...she's decided that in her head already...."

She hears him ask tautly – " whats funny though? why is this funny to you?"

Khushi admits – " its not funny...it just feels adorable...anyway...go on drink your water...,"and she hears the gulps on the other side off him dunking down water super fast and even before she could say anything again, once he's done she hears him ask instantly again – " also...are you literally still on the deck?? Close to the railing? Or something? Again it's the air in the background...khushi...baby...just go in..please?and wait....didn't you also mention ...you still in your diving suit? Are you crazy?You are going to fall sick with all that crazy air around you...right now.....dammit...just go dry yourself first and change..please????? anw....wait...why haven't u changed yet anyway...???????"

Khushi chuckles at that on reflex now and she says – "well, honestly, the drying bit...the sun has already taken care off for me....k? Arnav?and please? I am not going to fall sick obviously...I am used to this...and well, the latter's kinda your fault anyway....all that thinking spree that had me lost...was obviously focused on you...," and she pauses purposely knowing this will surely catch his interest.

She hears him ask instantly now curious – "really???thinking spree - focused on me? What were you thinking haan???and I dare you to tell me...straight away....like right very now..."

And Khushi ends up saying on reflex – " well, if I didn't wana tell you...why would I even bring it up?even Arnav??"

She hears him say now softly – " go on....then...tell me...what were you thinking??"

Khushi admits softly – "that now...as...in today...as we...are..like ..in this...together...in the present...together.....it just feels as if...your feelings for me perhaps have always been like that ever so stagnant horizon..Arnav...the bit that's just remained the freaking same..but it's just my perception/ view towards it that was affected adversely because of the lens...I was.... viewing this horizon through in my mind ? Like...how you know often the scenery on the out seems dusty for a long time until one fine day you realise...the scenery on the out always shone in clarity...it's your own freaking window that had been dusty perhaps? And now that you'v finally been able to wipe the lens off its dust clean...you can just see it all so so freaking clearl....and now that I am seeing it all...its just driving me crazier emotionally...for you...pulling me towards you...at this massive speed...."

She hears him ask instantly to that the emotions evident in his voice too just like it were in hers – " well....I could say the same...for you ...Khushi....apparently both our feelings have been like that horizon...that just existed..."

And they both end up saying in unison to that – " thank god for that...," and they do share another chuckle at that before she hears Arnav say – " but...this horizon is surely deepening a lot more... in its boundaries...today....don't you think?? I know...our history is ours to deal with which we are......but right now.....I just want you to know...again...like just hear it from me...again...that......I am falling way too hard and fast for you in the present today...dammit....Khushi....not that I'd have it any other way...........the present with you...just keeps getting more addictive by the passing second..."

Khushi says to that instantly – " copy that Arnav.."

He asks – " which part? That you falling hard and fast for the present me too? or that the present with me just keeps getting more addictive...by the passing second??"

Khushi smiles to herself – " both...obviously..."

She hears Arnav say now softly – " love the sound of that...so...,"and he pauses.

She asks – " whats on your mind?tell me now...don't wait..until you see me? You always paused on the so this way...even back then....when you'd get caught up between saying it to me on phone/vs video call..."

She hears him chuckle at that now – " love that you remember..."

Khushi – " then...go on...say it..."

She hears him answer instantly – " perhaps...now that I think off it...feels like...maybe ...whatever happened...happened...to us...because...,"and Khushi surprises herself by filling in the words for him for her gut just told her what to say – " so that now that we have found our way back to one another??finally????we would never steer away?????? Is that what you wanted to say????Arnav???

And there is a twenty second long emotional silence on the phone at that before she finally hears Arnav say – "exactly...that.....plus.... it's so freaking crazy that I can't leap through the phone to you right now...for all I wana do is kiss you hard right freaking now. Khushi....You surely know I'd do that...if I were with you...right now...right???"

Khushi smiles to herself as she admits – " yeah...I do know that...," and she whispers – " but can you like not remind me off that.. while...technically I am still at work...still not docked back into the harbour for the day...I can't be like burning and flushing within...right now...k??"

She hears him ask instantly to that chuckling - " really?so... Are you burning and flushing right now?"

Khushi touches her flushed cheeks – " yeah kind off....and you be happy with knowing that...for now...that's all...and before you extend on the topic...i'll change it...you tell me...How's practice been going? Also...did you sip on some chamomile tea after lunch? I slipped in some tea bags...in your work bag this morning.. before leaving...pls tell me...you found them....crazy ...that...I forgot to tell you about it...when you dropped me off....this morning.."

She hears him say now the smile evident in his voice – " well, it's a good thing you forgot to tell me...for when I did find them...I was freaking grinning like a monkey. And yes...I had the tea...after lunch...k? Also, what was the need to slip in five tea bags though khushi??"

Khushi smiles to herself at that - " oh don't fuss please.Just keep it...anyway...so...now that you do have practice going on till 6:30pm this evening...I'm thinking...I'll just chill around with Manizeh...till then? K? At the accommodation?You pick me up after? I don't wana go to the Airbnb without you..."

She hears him answer next instantly – "and hey..what if I say.... how about if you two come here and chill instead??? Like where I am?? By this studio we practicing at????I would love to have you come over to practice...baby...anyway...you won't be able to attend the concert live in Melbourne.. for you will be in Tasmania by then...plus...I also am dying to introduce you to the rest after ...you'v only met Syna...I just want everyone else to know about you too..."

That shocks Khushi obviously momentarily but in a good way as she asks – " But wait......are you like sure that it will be okay for me.....to like just pop up at your practice? Won't it be odd??Arnav??"

She hears him chuckle now – " no, why will it be odd? It won't be odd at all baby. Look...just come please? Aman will be there for company too...plus I don't think I can wait...until after practice... to see you too....so c'mon...tell me....you coming???"

And Khushi can only succumb to that smiling to herself now – " ofcourse...I am coming....,"And as she hears voices in the background calling out to him she says now – "okay...listen....now...you get back to practice then..ill be there..as soon as I can...just text me..the location..."

"when are you expected to reach the accommodation with the team??,"he asks excited, now.

Khushi – " another forty-five minutes maybe???"

"great......you will find a cab waiting to pick both you and Manizeh up at the accommodation in an hour...then? don't be late...I am waiting for you...now go...baby...get off your diving suit...,"and she hears him add in a whispers – " one day...I'll be taking your diving suit off you...myself...mind you Khushi...,"and Khushi can only pat her flushed cheeks at that as she says into the phone biting back on her grin – " oh..damm you...and must you?remind me off that now????? like now????? I have to rush back into a boat which is full in attendance with my work collegues and seniors....you crazy man.....don't you have to like get back to singing??go...go now...and don't text here...its Manizeh's phone...reminder....just in case you forget....go...baby...go...see I can hear them calling you now....,"and with that she finally hears him say – "alright...see you soon......,"and Khushi playfully hangs up on him with a – " super soon...surely...it is...," before she jets off the deck at the speed of light – to share the development with Manizeh. Most of her stuff was at the Airbnb. But luckily, she still had some of it lying at the accommodation.She just had to get ready at the speed of light...and have...Manizeh do the same too.....

And just as she is about to get off the deck, Khushi does look back to cast a look - at the Fading line of vision towards the Horizon – she had been eyeing....in Reality..all the while....

Perhaps – there really was weight in that quote she'd spotted online – just this morning – before switching her phone off – as the work day began??

What quote?

The quote by Williams Faulkner that said –

"You cannot swim for new horizons, until you have the courage to lose sight off the shore"

The only apparent difference here being in context to her life was – that Her Horizon...had just always been the same.The Very Same.....Horizon...that always, included, culminated, and revolved around - a life...with Arnav...in the very centre off it.......

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

How was that guys??????????

Do let me know your feedback in the comments below! You know I love to hear from you all....

Also yes, this part was initially supposed to be included as a part of a bigger update with the next scene in it too – but then by the time I finished writing this and it came upto 4.8k words too – I decided to post it as is! Splitting, the otherwise longer update!

Next Update – Tomorrow Night.

Please Note – I will be travelling on the dates in between – 29th Sep – 8th Oct as its kids - Dusshera vacations and we are off to our family home on 29th. Its also my son's bday on 28th. He's turning Six. Gosh how, time flies!

So basically, this is why, I am also aiming to give as many updates as I can this week – to keep the flow going. Might split longer updates into two – as in the case today – or post a long as is – depending on the feel in my heart as I finish writing it! Will keep you all posted with the writing schedule plan – during my travel time– by the end of the week – obviously. I might not post at all in those ten days / or maybe once a week – depends...k? either ways - I will keep you all posted!

See you soon guys! Take Care!

Have a great weekend.

Much Love* Infinite Gratitude – Now&Always
