"Laad governor said Sorry to me!! And send Aman to my NGO.. Unbelievable.. Just unbelievable.." Khushi blinked her eyes surprised staring at her phone.

Arjun came to her, and sat on the grass, "What are you doing here Khushi?"

Khushi smiled: Arnav called me!

Arjun shrugged his shoulders: So?

Khushi shook her head: Nothing.. I think he is coming here.

Arjun frowned: Why is he coming here? Does he want to help us?

Khushi: No! He wants to talk with me, but I will show it to him that I'm still angry! He will have to pacify me..

Khushi stood up and went running inside the NGO.

She entered in the room of the kids, and looked at herself on the old mirror.

"Shiii.. I look so tired. Arnav will say I became old in just one week.." Khushi touched her face.

Some kids started laughing at her, on the room.

"What are you doing here?" she turned to them.

"Didi it's our room! We should be asking you.." they giggled.

"Didi are you talking about Beast Arnav?" a four years old, Ruchi asked her with a scared tone.

"No! (she picked Ruchi, and made Ruchi sat on her lap, while she sat on the bed) You know I didn't end the story that day.. Princess Khushi found that Beast Arnav, isn't really what she thinks he is, inside he is a prince and circumstances made him behave like a beast.." Khushi kissed Ruchi's cheeks.

Ruchi pouted: Didi.. I didn't understand..

Khushi giggled: Ruchi Arnav isn't a beast. He is a prince only..

Kunal interrupted: Didi is he like Beauty and the beast movie?

Khushi nodded: Understood now Ruchi?

Ruchi nodded smilingly: Then I'm not scared of him anymore..

Kunal: Didi when are we going back home?

Khushi: Very soon Kunal. Now that you're all comfortable here and have enough clothes and food. I will start looking out for help to renovate our place.

The kids nodded their head in positive.

Arjun came and sat beside Khushi: We will start Khushi! Not you alone..

Khushi smiled and nodded. While Madhu stood on the door of the room.

"I wish you were married to Arjun, Sona. You would be so happy with him, we would live together and happy. There wouldn't be any Arnav to hurt you.. " Madhu thought staring at both.

******************************************

After sometime, Khushi was talking with Arjun on the living room about the NGO.

She suddenly stopped talking, and clutched her salwar near her chest.

"Dhak Dhak phir se (Dhak dhak again) is he here??" she thought.

"What happened Khushi?" Arjun asked her.

Khushi stood up and went running outside the NGO. Her doubt and dhak dhak were right, he was there only.

Arnav climbed down his car with his bags, and closed the door.

He turned to the NGO, and his eyes landed on her.

Dehleez pe mere dil ki

Jo rakhe hain tune kadam

Tere naam pe meri zindagi

Likh di mere humdum

(As you have stepped

on the threshold of my heart..

O my beloved,

I've written my life in your name..)

Both kept staring at each other from distance.

Madhu came to Khushi, and patted her cheeks: What happened Khushi? Why did you came running here?

Khushi broke the eye lock with Arnav, and turned to Madhu: Woh.. Arnav..

Arnav walked to them, and stood beside Khushi, "Namaste Aunty.." he said to Madhu. Madhu replied sternly: Namaste. Did you came here to take Khushi away from us? Arnav: No! I came here to stay with my wife.. Khushi stare at him astonished.

Arnav glanced at her, "And also to help the kids.." he added.

Khushi: So now you believe that it was a real accident?

Arnav: I never doubted it..

Khushi: Then why did you say that?

Arnav: Won't you ask me to come inside?

Madhu: We don't have space here! You already live in a mansion, why come here?

Khushi interrupted: Arnav will sleep with me on the terrace Ma. You will sleep with Arjun and the kids on their room.

Madhu looked at Khushi in disbelief.

"What! Terrace Khushi.." Arnav freaked out.

Khushi glared at him, he sighed in defeat.

"From king size bed to terrace, wow Arnav welcome to a new life.." he mumbled enough for her to hear.

"Want to go back? You still have time.." she whispered to him.

Madhu smiled sarcastically: You can stay here, but will you be able? Now only you made a face just for sleeping at the terrace. What will happen later?

Arnav thought how he lived without Khushi one whole week, and then how will he live here, which is so not kind of his lifestyle.

"Don't worry Aunty.. I will manage to live wherever Khushi is.." he said confidently. Haan seekha maine jeena jeena kaise jeena Haan seekha maine jeena mere humdum

Na seekha kabhi jeena jeena kaise jeena

Na seekha jeena tere bina humdum

(I learned how to live life,

I learned to live my beloved.

But I didn't learn how to live

without you, O my beloved)

A smile couldn't hide anymore from her face, by hearing his last line!

Madhu left from there, leaving both alone now.

Arnav glanced inside the NGO: Won't you ask me to come inside now?

Khushi came back from her dream land, and nodded: Come inside..

Arnav entered with her, while walking to the terrace, he started a conversation with her.

Arnav: I just talked with an architect friend of mine, and he will design and renovate your place again and in a better way than before. He will just start working from tomorrow with his partners and builders on the same. And Aman is coming here with basic things like clothes, blankets, water and medical supplies.

Khushi nodded: Thank you for doing this much for the kids.

Arnav entered in the terrace, "Woah.. Are we going to sleep in an open place like this?" his tone was a complaining one.

Khushi nodded: Yes Arnav, if you will not be able to manage..

He cut her off, "I said na.. I will manage.."

Khushi: The question is why will you manage to stay in a place like this?

Arnav turned to her: The question is do you want me to stay here or not?

Khushi looked at him dumbfounded, he knows very well how to turn tables!

Arnav walked near her, she looked at him, her heart beats increased thinking what is he going to do next.

Arnav slowly snacked his both arms around her waist, he was himself unsure and kind of scared of her what her reaction would be.

Khushi shivered when his arms found way to rest on her waist, she kept staring into his dark brown eyes.

Arnav pulled her slowly near him till she crashes with his chest, Khushi hands touched his shoulders for support.

He tightened his grip on her, "I missed you Khushi.."

Her breath hitched hearing this from him, she smiled slowly and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I missed you too Arnav.." she whispered near his ear.

"Khushiiiiiiiii.. Come here quickly..." Madhu shouted.

Khushi broke the hug panicked, she went running downstairs.

Arnav cursed the old lady for spoiling their first hug!

He picked the call from his friend, Karan who must be calling him to ask if he reached well or not.

"Hi Karan.." he said.

"Hi Arnav.. Did you reached or not?" Karan asked.

"I'm ASR.. I think you should stop asking me such stupid questions.." Arnav smirked.

"Okay! Did you talk with bhabhi?" Karan asked smiling.

"Hmm.. I hug.. What the.. Karan I hugged her! And also said I missed you.. What the..

What's going on with me?!.. I just have no control over myself now.." Arnav face palmed.

"How boring! Just a hug and I miss you! Looks like best friends.." Karan pouted.

"It's our first hug Karan.." Arnav said.

"Hahaha you're making me laugh.. Don't talk like you're a saint with girls.. First hug.. Seriously Arnav.." Karan laughed out loudly and even fell from his sofa, making his parents glare at him.

"Khushi is not that type of girl for me.. She is different okay..Anyways if you don't stop laughing at me, I will tell Meera about your so called girlfriends when she wasn't here.." Arnav warned him.

"Ok! Don't blackmail me now. Bye.. Enjoy first hug, and then call me when it's first kiss okay.." Karan chuckled and hang up the call.

Arnav shook his head, and put his phone on his pocket again.

He looked at the bed sheets on the corner of the terrace.

"She could have told me we are going to sleep on the floor!" he rolled his eyes.

***************************************

Arnav went downstairs behind his wife, he looked at Aman on the living room, and all kids excitedly gathered around him distributing clothes for everyone.

Khushi, Madhu and Arjun looked at them overwhelmed, all they want to see is a smile on their kids face.

"Thank you for helping us.." Madhu said to Arnav, when he stood with them.

"It's ok! You don't need to say thanks aunty.." Arnav looked at her.

Khushi smiled staring at him, she was supposed to be angry with him but how can she now, when he did such sweet things, helping her kids, stay with her in a place he isn't comfortable at, hugged her for the first time, and the last but not the least, he admitted he missed her!!

Khushi: How is everyone at home? Did you keep a watch on them? Are they on the right path now?

Arnav shrugged his shoulders: I don't know..

Khushi looked at him with big eyes: Arnav! What do you mean by I don't know? You should know about them. After all you're a part of the team also.. How irresponsible from you!

Arnav looked at her irritated: I said I missed you, I couldn't think of anything apart from you.. I didn't even paid attention to my work, my meetings, my friends, my surroundings. You expect me to look at them, when my heart was looking for you?

Khushi blinked her eyes in astonishment..

Arnav covered his mouth with his palms, and looked back at Aman with the kids.

"What is wrong with me? When I'm with Khushi, I just can't control myself.. It's like I have no pause on my mouth, it keeps on playing what's in my heart.." he thought.

Khushi also looked at the kids shouting and running around the living room happily.

"DM aww see na.. He really missed me!!" Khushi squealed in happiness.

Both were so happy with each other but still confused about their own feelings. Arnav couldn't understand why is he getting attached to Khushi when he himself said that he hates her and Khushi also didn't understand why he is the man she hates the most yet she cares for him, still today she didn't figured out if she hates him so much why did she filled her diary with HIM, what they didn't even realize is that slowly their hearts are accepting each other! And they were destined to meet by DM and the work of making them one was given to Nani!
