Akash bitwa come here.." Mami called him, she was busy giving instructions to the servants to serve the guests as it was lunch time now.

"Haan Ma.." Akash came to her.

"Bitwa did you saw Arnav and Khushi? I saw everyone playing with Holi, except both.." Mami patted his shoulder.

"Woh.. It's Bhai drank bhang and he was teasing Khushi bhabhi.. So she took him inside the farm house Ma.. They must be sleeping now.." Akash giggled.

"Acha!! Why didn't you make a video of Arnav bitwa drunk? I also wanted to see him.." Mami laughed not believing Arnav drank and teased Khushi.

Payal joined the conversation, "Ma you should have seen Khushi's red cheeks when Arnav ji asked her to kiss him!"

Mami widened her eyes, "Badtameez Dil bitwaaaa!!"

Akash and Payal laughed at Mami's reaction.

Mama: Can I know what's the joke? And Manorama if it's a joke, why are you with such a shocked expression? You always do the opposite of what others do right..

Mami smacked Mama's shoulders with a pout, "See what they are telling me!! Arnav bitwa wanted a Isqh-wala-kiss from Khushi!!"

Mama laughed, "So what? Don't I ask you to?"

Akash and Payal now burst out laughing with Mami's shocked expression to Mama who just spilled their secret!

"You too like Arnav bitwa - Badtameez Dil Hubby.." Mami looked away and decided to ignore their shameless conversation otherwise she would blush now for sure.

"Ma relax! We all are married na.. We know everything.." Akash winked at her and high five with his father.

"Aww you three are so shameless.. Payal bitiya come here with me.. Don't stay with them, otherwise what what you will listen is not good for you.. We three (Khushi, Payal and herself) are very innocent for you three shameless men (Arnav, Akash and Mama)" Mami pulled Payal with her smiling.

Payal went with Mami blushing at Akash and Mama, who teasingly sent flying kisses to both respectively.

Mami laughed and shook her head, "He is still the same mad man for me!!"

Payal nodded smiling, "Papa loves you a lot.. I wish our family remains like this forever.."

Mami slapped Payal's shoulders playfully smiling, "We are old now to think of romance.."

Payal giggled: No! You're still like Madhuri Dixit Ma!

Mami pinched Payal's cheek smiling.

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

Arnav frowned with his closed eyes, he groaned in pain and opened his eyes slowly.

He looked at Khushi sleeping, while one her hand was rested on his hair, which clearly showed she was caressing his hair and fell asleep too.

He sat properly and made Khushi lean on the bed in a better position now, he placed a pillow behind her head and brushed her hair aside to make herself more comfortable in her sleep now!

After making sure she was fine, he stood to go to the bathroom, that's when it struck on his mind, that he said those three magical words to her while drunk! He can't remember everything he said to her, but he knows he spilled the truth to her, he remembers Karan making him drink bhang, then the dance and later he only knows he did said he loves her.

Arnav hit his forehead with shut eyes and went to the bathroom.

He opened the tap, and washed his face thinking about Khushi's reaction! He won't lie that he was happy that she knows about his feelings to her and he won't see her sad face anymore begging him to confess what she means to him. But for him, himself it's difficult to even now say I Love You to her, the most important persons in his life abandoned him. And this came more than a shock to him, he won't be able to even think that she will leave him. And his heart wants to scream his love for her, but is still very scared and not ready at all to lose a person like Khushi. Khushi for him is a mixture of both his mother and his Nani. His life totally depends on her Khushi now..

Arnav closed the tap and grabbed the towel, he wiped his face but her arms snacked around his waist and he felt her body close to hers, she hugged him from behind, resting her head on his back.

Arnav stood still for a while, not knowing how to react. Does she want him to say it to her again? Does she know he won't be able to?

Then he composed himself, and raised his hand to caress her hair behind him.

Khushi accepted his soft caresses on her hair with a small smile playing on her lips.

"Laddo.." she called him.

"Hmm.." he rolled his eyes at the name she keeps calling him now.

"I will wait.." she whispered to him, she thought he would not understand why is she saying so. Because he was drunk and didn't remember anything.

But Arnav understood what she was saying to him, his heart felt contended now! Khushi is really patient with him.

"Let's go downstairs.. I'm so hungry yaar.." Khushi pouted and broke the hug.

"Should I show you that Jerry's fat picture again? Just to remind you of your look if you eat more than necessary.." Arnav smirked.

Khushi rolled her eyes, "I will also find a Tom's fat picture for you.. Then we will see so who will be more fat.. You or me?"

Arnav shook his head, "Excuse me.. Perhaps you don't know I go to jogging everyday.. So I will always be fit for my girlfriends.."

Khushi slapped his chest, "What girlfriends?! You don't know but the same way you threw those love letters of your girlfriends, I will throw them out of your life.."

"You will throw them, when I have someone else na.." Arnav said and went from there leaving Khushi alone in the bathroom.

Khushi blushed smiling.

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

Arnav walked to the kitchen and poured water on his glass.

Akash and Payal came inside giggling, Akash held Payal by her waist trying to get close to her. While Payal was warning him that someone could come inside.

Arnav cleared his throat indicating that he was there!

Payal widened her eyes and looked at Arnav.

"Calm down! I'm going.." he took his glass and left the kitchen for the love birds.

Khushi came running downstairs and was heading to the kitchen.

Arnav held her by her shoulders stopping her.

"Aaahh.. Leave meee.. I'm really hungry Laad governor.. Dekho food is calling me urgently.." Khushi said with a crying face eying to the kitchen in front of her.

"Payal and Akash are there.." Arnav said pulling her back.

"So what?" Khushi frowned.

"Urghh Khushi understand naa.. You will witness another jumma chumma scene there.." Arnav scolded her.

Khushi widened her eyes, "Sachii? Then I will not step in there.. But I'm really hungry!!"

"Let's eat outside.. I guess guests are having lunch together.." Arnav held her hand going with her outside his house.

Khushi let him guide her happily, Arnav stopped on his way to talk with some guests.

Khushi was giving him angry looks, she pointed to her stomach to him only gesturing him that she was really hungry!

Arnav rolled his eyes, and after exchanging few words with the guest. He went with her to serve food for her.

"Mamiii.. serve food for this Jerry.." Arnav said staring at Mami distributing the plates to the servants.

"Haan I was just asking where were you both to Akash. I will serve for you both now, go and sit in that table.." Mami said.

Arnav nodded and took Khushi with him to the table reserved for his family. But now they were the last ones to have lunch late!

Mami came with both plates for Arnav and Khushi.

Mami eyed to Arnav: In asking Khushi a Ishq-wala-kiss you forgot to have lunch with your family!!

Khushi cheeks turned red now.

Arnav: What the.. Kiss? When did this happen?

Khushi giggled: If I tell you what what happened.. You won't believe..

Nisha sat on the chair beside Arnav joyfully, "I will tell you Arniee.. You finally give in to my wishes.. Khushi he danced with me.. That too on balam pichkari song.. Unbelievable right?"

Khushi nodded: I wish I had made a video of you dancing. I would tease you all my life..

Arnav raised his eyebrow, thinking: "Gosh today was the day! I did so many things like this..

Drink..Dance.. Kiss and.. I love you!! How can you lose control like this ASR?? It's all

Khushi's fault.."

Khushi waved her fingers near his face.

Arnav glared at her and concentrated on his food.

Nisha: Arnav do you remember that we love to play chess? After all the guest leave, we can play na?

"Eeek.. Chess? Really! I don't understand a bit of that game.. Let's play hide and seek.. It's more energetic hain na?" Khushi said chirpily.

Nisha: Hide and seek? Seriously Khushi this is a kids play..

Khushi: Toh kya? My heart is still like a kid! It never gets older..

"Hmm.. Eat..eat.. Weren't you hungry?" Arnav said feeding her.

Khushi ate from his hand, "We will play na?"

"Arnav doesn't like such games Khushi! He prefers more Chess.. So today he will play with me.." Nisha smiled.

Khushi pouted looking at Arnav, "You don't know what's real fun!"

"Wanna teach me?" he smirked.

Khushi nodded, "When you give a chance na!!"

Arnav whispered in her hear, covering her ear and his lips with his palms.

"Did you kiss me when I asked you to?" he asked with a low voice, so that no one hears.

Khushi nodded sideways vigorously.

"Then if I catch you in this game, you will do this as a punishment! Agree?" he smiled teasingly.

Khushi looked at him with big eyes, while Nisha looked at them confused.
