At the car

Arnav was driving and Khushi was enjoying the evening breeze through the window. Suddenly seeing something she excitedly turned to him to say about that, but it was as if Arnav was in deep thoughts. She stared at him for some time hoping he will look at her but nothing like that happened. So she decided to break his reverie. First, she cleared her throat but he didn't hear, then she placed her hand on his lap, still, he didn't react. She was getting really pissed off with his ignorance and thus pinched his shoulder making him yelp

Arnav: Ouch! What the hell? What are you doing?

Khushi: Excuse me ... it should be my question ... I mean do you have any idea that from how much time I am trying to get your attention? By the way, (Scrunching her eyebrows) what were you thinking this deeply that you didn't hear me?

Arnav: (Hiding his smile) not something Kiya ... I was thinking about someone

Khushi: Someone?

Arnav: (Shrugging) yep ... someone who is very special to me

Khushi: (Sarcastically) and who is that ... for whom you will avoid me? Tell me ... tell me now. Arnav ... (warningly) don't irritate me with your stupid smirk ... tell me who is it?

Arnav: Arrey ... wait for sometime yaar. Can't you see I am driving now?

Khushi: Arnav ... don't give me that crap, okay? And if the problem is with your driving then stop the car ... stop the car now!

Arnav: Why are you angry, baby? Just two minutes we are almost there ... and I promise you then you can argue how much you want

Khushi looked at him with angry accusing eyes and turned her head. Arnav turned towards the window and bit back his laugh. He likes to see Khushi like that all riled up and angry like as in their childhood.

Soon they reached their destination. He parked the car and got down. Circling the vehicle he reached her side and offered his hand after opening the door for her. But Khushi got down without his help and then holding his collar, pushed him on to the car and then pulled his face towards her.

Khushi: Tell me who is that witch?

Arnav: Hey don't you dare to call her like that ... I mean she is the most beautiful person I have ever met ... she enlightens my whole world with a smile ... only she can handle and comfort the vulnerable Arnie as well as the angry ASR

Khushi was now angry like hell hearing him praising his so-called someone special. And due to that, she hadn't concentrated on what he had said. Because otherwise, she would have already guessed about whom he was talking about.

Khushi: I don't care who it is ... but understand one thing clearly Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada ... you are mine ... only mine ... do you get that?

Arnav: That is what I too was saying, baby ... only my 'someone special' has right on me

Khushi: What?

Arnav started to laugh out loud and that's when the realization dawned upon her and started to hit on his chest with her fists.

Khushi: You ... you were playing with my emotions? How dare you ... you ...

Arnav pulled her fists that were hitting him and hugged her and pressed her to the car. Khushi too after some futile attempts of trying to free herself, hugged him. Both closed their eyes to enjoy the blissful moment and hugged each other tightly. Then Arnav breathed out

Arnav: I love you baby ... and yeah know this no one can be special to me other than you

Khushi: I know Arnav and I love you too

Khushi then opened her eyes and broke the hug. But seeing the house in front of her she got teary

Khushi: Arnav ... this ... this is ... our old farmhouse, right?

Arnav: (Side hugging her) shh ... yes ... it is indeed our old farmhouse where we stayed during our vacation and I renovated it without altering the exterior look. But yeah I changed the interiors according to the occupants and I hope (Looking expectantly at her) you are happy with my decision

Khushi: (Again hugging and kissing his neck) you don't know Arnav ... how happy you made me by bringing me here and ... to know you are ready to let go of the past

Arnav: Hmm(Kissing her hair) ... by the way don't you want to go inside

Khushi: Of course but wait a second why you hadn't told anything about this? And when did this happen? And top to it how you allowed a stranger to make changes here? Hey, don't look at me like that since I know you are way too much possessive about this place for that

Arnav: Yes ... you are right and for your earlier question it has not done by a stranger

Khushi: Meaning? Big B?

Arnav: No ... Rudy

Khushi: Really ... oh my god! (Smiling happily) I mean It's his second year only and did this project, man he is awesome

Arnav: I know ... after all whose cousin he is?

Khushi: (Swatting on hand) don't fly too much, okay? ... And hey why didn't you called others?

Arnav: (Sighing) you know ... we will be 'WE' only when we are alone

Khushi immediately understood the reason because they both will be true self when they are alone; they can only be vulnerable when they are alone. They hadn't allowed any other person to see them weak and it was like an unwritten rule between them. And she knows coming here will make both of them emotional ... so she smiled at him understandingly.

Arnav: And you know what? I have a huge surprise for you inside

Khushi: Surprise ... what is it?

Arnav: For that ... we have to enter inside

Soon they reached the door and Arnav handed the key to Khushi and she opened it. But before she could step in Arnav picked her up.

Khushi: Hey ... what are you doing? Put me down Arnav

Arnav: It's a ritual sweetheart

Khushi: Ritual? What ritual? And even if it is you normally don't like to follow them

Arnav: (Chuckling) that's true ... but I like this tradition of Raizadas very much ... that is the wife should enter in the arms of her husband

Khushi: Hey ... that is only for the first entry after marriage but here. Er ... leave it because sometimes you are too much Arnav

Arnav: Whatever ... so here is your surprise sweetheart

Khushi slowly steadied herself holding Arnav and looked at the wall before them and was totally mesmerized. The wall was full of pictures from their childhood. She literally ran towards the pictures and touched them to ensure it was actually there. Arnav came and hugged her from back keeping his head on her shoulder started to speak pointing at the pictures

Arnav: Hey see that pic ... it was taken when my baby Kiya was born ... look how sweet she looks

Khushi: Haww! ... look Arnav I was so chubby

Arnav: I know and see these all are our sweet as well as angry encounters

(Guys I just wanted to show some moments so don't get confused with the pictures)

Khushi: (Turning her head towards him) we really used to fight a lot right?

Arnav: Hmm

Khushi: But it was fun ... I mean ... thinking how to irritate you in the next morning up to sleep and even in the dream damn ... it was so much fun

Arnav: And I used to think about ways to escape your crazy antics ... but no I could never escape from you because you used to plan everything carefully so that I always fell in your traps. But yeah I liked that fights very much baby ... so much that it broke my little heart when I was alone here without you all ... I ... I used to cry Khush ... as I felt really alone without you

Both were getting emotional and Khushi kept her hands on his arms which were on her waist and he too tightened his hold. Both again looked at the pictures.

Khushi: (Looking backward at him) but hey from where did you get these photos?

Arnav: (In a low voice) I used to visit here once in a while when I was in India during vacations ... but I could never enter your room or Mom's room as I will overcome with emotions. You know I was very angry with destiny to snatch you two from me and I kept the rooms closed because the memories used to make me weak. (Sighing) but after we met again ... when I was again back to life one day I took the courage to open the room and there ... I saw the album in Mom's room. I hadn't taken them to RM because they don't know the price of these. So I treasured them for years and when I thought about renovating the house I put it here

Khushi: Hmm ... but how did you get the idea to renovate it?

Arnav: Not mine ... it was totally your idea

Khushi: Mine? How?

Arnav: Khush, do you remember what you told on Mom-Dad's wedding anniversary last year ... to do something from next year that will make me and Dad happy and close to Mom ... and be with Dad. So I planned to renovate it by including Mom's likes and to enrich her garden with her favorite flowers and all. I want to gift it to Dad this year ... but as you said earlier I didn't want strangers here ... so I asked Big B to do something and we both were working on it

Khushi: Then how did Rudy came into the picture?

Arnav: He heard our talks and asked me can he do this. I was reluctant at first thinking he is inexperienced but Big B told me he is the best option ... so decided to try my luck

Khushi: And it turned out to be wonderful ... Oh God I have to congratulate him

Arnav: Hmm

Khushi: Hey, common, now show me the rooms

Arnav: Yeah come ... see the dining room, kitchen, living room, study room, and pool

Khushi: Oh my ... It's just wow

Arnav: I know

Khushi: Now first we will see Dad's room

Arnav: Okay, come

Seeing it Khushi instantly hugged him and murmured

Khushi: It will be the best gift for Dad Arnav. I mean ... Mom's variety of drawings ... her praying area, Christ, candles and all ... I mean it is like Mom is really here ... (Caressing his tensed back) hey, Dad will surely love it don't worry

Arnav: But I am afraid Khush ...I mean he has never come here after Mom

Khushi: He will come, Arnav ... surely we will bring him here

Arnav: I hope so ...(Sighing) and the next room is Nikhil's and Lavi's and we will gift them once they married

Khushi: Wow ... gray and white ... a perfect combination of their likes and a bit cozy too

Arnav: Really and (Huskily) how my baby actually knows it is cozy?

Khushi: Arnav!

Arnav: (Chuckling) okay ... okay ...and this is

Khushi: Rudy's room (Seeing his raised eyebrow) it's simple ... see that guitar

Arnav: Ok my intelligent Dr. ... and here comes Kiddu's room

Khushi: Beautiful ... and hey whose idea was it to put that'K'?

Arnav: Rudy ... he was adamant that Kiddu will love it

Then they both looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.

Khushi: Arnav ... are you thinking what I am thinking?

Arnav: I guess so because they remind me of the old Arnie-Kiya

Khushi: Yeah ... finding ways to be with each other ... even if it is by fighting 

Arnav: (Sighing) anyway, we will see what happens in the future

After seeing all other rooms

Arnav: And finally our room

Khushi: (Cuddling Arnav) It's beautiful Arnav

Then they both laid on the recliner side by side cuddling each other

Khushi: Time flies really fast, right? I mean I feel like everything happened yesterday

Arnav: Yep ... it's been 21 years. So how is our new home? Liked it?

Khushi: No ... I loved it and hats off to Rudy

Arnav: I agree on that but don't let Kiddu hear that ... she will kill you

And both laughed out loud thinking about their silly fights which were present whenever they meet each other.

Arnav: (Looking at the time) let us leave baby ... I have booked a table at Purple orchid

Khushi: Okay ... but when will we bring others?

Arnav: Soon ... very soon

Then they went to Purple orchid and had a romantic candlelight dinner cozying with each other.

When they reached home after the dinner they saw the gang was engrossed in chess in the living room after dinner. Kiran and Rahul were in one team and Nikhil and Lavanya in the other. Chachu, Akash, and Shyam were talking something but were watching the game while DR Ladies sitting on the dining table were trying to gossip as usual but today it looked like they were waiting for someone. They were even time to time looking at the foursome whenever they heard sound from there even though they don't know the C of chess. Suddenly Kiran was about to make a wrong move

Arnav & Khushi: Shhitttttt ....

Now everybody's attention turned on to the couple standing at the door and Kiran raised her eyebrow asking what the matter is.

Khushi: It was a wrong move baby ... see it's a checkmate

Arnav: And Kiddu ... I think it's a problem with your partner ... (Smirking) I mean don't you get anyone other than this idiot?

Rahul: Arrey ... you are talking as if you are a chess champion

Arnav: Why not? (Seeing his look) okay, let us try ... then. (Sitting beside Kiran) today we will win ... you wait and watch buddy

Anjali: Yeah ... you don't know what Raizadas can do ... just wait and watch ... right, Arnav?

Arnav: (Totally ignoring her) and who will be your partner? Lavi or Nikhil? You choose whoever you want

Rahul: Hmm ... (Smirking) okay so my partner will be Kiya

Arnav: What? No... not she

Khushi: Why? (With a challenging look) don't tell me the great ASR is scared

Arnav: Oh...kay so you are challenging me. Let us see, then

Khushi: Yeah, let us see

The DR smiled wickedly seeing their fight not knowing it is not a new thing for them.
