NK and Lavanya drove back to RM. It was late and all were gone in their respective rooms. HP opened the door and they both walked across the hall to go to their rooms. NK was being a gentleman and accompanied her to the room.

"I had a great time. I really enjoyed the dinner and the dance." Lavanya avowed beaming before bidding him a goodbye.

"I am glad to hear that. Actually I was a bit nervous at first and thought the arrangements to be a bit kitschy. But I was relieved as you liked it." NK said in his usual way with a broad and afterwards shy smile on his face.

"It was kitschy indeed. But I loved it." She exclaimed cherish and pecked him quickly on the cheek. "Thanks for the wonderful date." Turning pink-shaded she turned to open the door. "Good Night!" While she stride into her room, NK's mouth hung open with his one hand on his cheek and his feet glue on the floor. It needed time for him to replay her act in his mind and digest the feeling he had. Goosebumps, butterflies flutter in his stomach, his legs felt numb, his heart was having burns while his mind was blank. The touch of her soft and sooth lips was still heating up his cheeks. A smile like a dork was set on his expression and shiver ran through his body.

Aarav walked through the corridor and stopped in front of his Chachu to study him. He stood there like a statue and a slight, almost unable to hear giggling was leaving his mouth. That innocent infant looked here and there to check if someone was there. As no one was around he grasped his hand and shook him."NK chachu?"

"Ha?" NK occurred back with a jerk and looked down at the small form standing in front of him.

"Are you alright?" He asked with a ironic tone but his eyes were on the door. It was Lavanya aunty's room so what is he doing here?

"Of course, I am alright." He replied with a soft voice cooling himself down. But once his gaze fell on the same view Aarav was having on, he again disappeared in a world beyond this. "More than just alright." Aarav frowned his eye brows when his uncle glared the door with dreaminess on his eyes. "You're weird!" He let out a small whisper narrowing his eyes.

After getting no reply from NK and watching him for a minute, Aarav shook him again by holding his hand. "Do you want to stay here and watch her door the whole night or are you also planing to sleep once today?"

"Ya...I-...will sleep!" NK let out a slow reply after hearing Aarav uttering something with sleep and slowly strode along the corridor towards his room still feeling the sweet peck.

Arnav lifted Khushi down in a room and placed her on the bed. She scanned the place on the ways again and somewhere wondered why from so many rooms, he took her in that one. May be he had chosen it randomly but why this? Why not some other one? But those thoughts shrink when he placed her on the bed and his eyes directed to her lips. Of course her heart was beating faster as usual now. Her breasts moved up and down from the heavy breathing and she turned smiling teasingly. He chuckled at that and smirked putting his hands on her back. She closed her eyes as she felt him placing kisses on her bare shoulder. His hands were directed to open the zipper of her dress that was hugging her body for too long in the meantime. It was his turn now, he thought.

Havoc erupted in his mind when a very familiar noise disturbed him in his act."Amanji is calling!" She exclaimed sarcastically shirty without having a look at his cell. "I swear if it is Aman, I'll fire him!" He affirmed with clenched teeth and brought his phone having a look on the display. He was not surprised but his brows frowned reading the name on it. "NK?" He was tarty at this interruption. It was obvious he remembered him interrupting on that day also and counted in his mind, it was the second time now. He was about to cancel the call but a "What the-" left his mouth when Khushi snatched his mobile away and answered the incoming call.

"Yes Nanheji?" She expressed a beam while speaking. She had totally forgotten about their date and was reminded again.

"Hello, Khushiji. Where are you guys?" NK asked her lying on the bed and looking up. He wanted to thank the couple for the arrangements and knocked on the door only to be informed from Anjali about their departure today evening.

"We are in Lucknow. But leave about us, tell me about your date with Lavanyaji. I want to know everything in detail." Her curiosity didn't know limits and she was glad speaking to him now. She wanted to get every single detail from him, to be sure, all went well.

"Okay. And I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you and taking your time-" He apologized for safety's sake but was cut by her in between.

"No, Nanheji. I have got enough time." Arnav glared at her aggrieved as she settled herself on the bed leaning against the heading. "You tell me everything in detail."

"Yes, yes, Khushiji but where is Nannav?" He questioned her specially about him as he had said that day he has taken care about everything. So he wanted to thank his cousin-less-brother.

"Oh ho, Nanheji, leave Arnavji! You please tell me about-" She was eager to hear the report about his date but her face conveyed guilt in no time after having a glimpse of him. He took off his shoes, and basket and sunk in the quilt after untying the tippet. She bit her lower lip realizing his frustration and decided to talk tomorrow to Nanheji. Her Arnavji is more important.

"Erm, Nanheji, I'm sorry but I'll talk to you tomorrow." She cut the call after hearing bye from him.

"Arnavji..." She called him gingerly still sitting in that position.

"Keep up your talk with NK. I won't disturb. But don't forget to sleep." He mumbled with closed eyes leaving her in guilt even more. But she, being Khushi, knew how to cheer up her Laad Governor.

She straightened herself on the bed and snaked in the quilt. "Please don't be angry with me, at least not today." She pouted placing her arms around him.

"I'm not angry with you! Forget us, it is important to know about their date."He opened his eyes and declared with a stern voice.

"No, You are more important for me. More than everything or everybody else!" She scowled with a leer on her face and placed a kiss on his cheek. Lately now, his anger melted away leaving a smirk behind. "Really? Prove it!" His words sounded less an order but more a challenge. She also can do the first step, he is not committed to do that. And she gladly accepted his challenge with a blush and placed a kiss on his other cheek. Her lips made their way to hers and she sucked his both lips one by one. He joined her and they opened their mouth to taste each others sweetness. His hands had found their place on her waist long before and her palms were cupping his face. They pulled away from the kiss soon and her eyes conducted to his neck along with her lips to posit lipstick marks there. She unbuttoned his shirt and he helped her taking it off. After admiring and placing wet kisses on his upper body while her hands stroke his chest and his six packs, her hands traveled down and opened the buckle of his belt. But then she looked at him and hid her red face in his chest. He understood that he has to continue now. His Khushi has come back to her senses and is feeling shy at once now. He smiled and rolled taking her below. Finally, he could open that damn zip and undress her.

The next morning, Arnav and Khushi returned back in Delhi before noon. Khushi was wearing a saree on the journey back that Arnav had arranged for her.

As usually HP opened the door and they moved to head into their room but were held back by their family sitting in the hall.

"Chote, Khushiji, you're back? So soon?" A slight giggling was letting out her mouth when Anjali asked them a double meaning question.

Arnav was about to answer her back casually but Mami spoke to embarrass them in front of the all. "Has honeymoonwa ended so soon? Just A nightwa was enough?"

All laughed at Mami's statement but Khushi was extremely ashamed and looked at the other side wanting to sink in the ground. Whereas Arnav just lowered his eyes and gazed at his tomato red spouse. And as if Mami's teasing was not enough, Lavanya joined in.

"What was the need to go out over night? I mean...just make the walls soundproof." She winked at Mamiji who laughed under her breath taking her mother-in-law into consideration. Nani was glaring at them for pulling the poor couple's leg, however couldn't control her laughter when even NK gave his opinion with his broken and funny Hindi. "Why are you guys closing their legs?(Taang khichna, meechna) Let them enjoy their time in each others arms."

Khushi blushed heavily and rushed upstairs before they would continue. Arnav rolled his eyes smilingly at NK and followed her.

"NK bhai, it's not close leg but pull. (not meechna but khichna)" Anjali corrected his mistake gladly while watching her brother and sister-in-law walking upstairs. "By the way, where were you yesterday? And Lavanyaji, you too weren't at home. Where were you two?"

Shy smiles curved their lips thinking about the night before and her kiss. They both looked here and there but Mamiji watched them clearly and smirked.

"Had you two gone on a datewa?" She asked with glowing eyes and smiling for NK. It would be great if Miss Kashyap and her nephew would be together. They would make a great couple. As she was thinking that looking at him, they both excused themselves from there to avoid answering them and their following questions.

After some time, Lavanya came to the poolside where Arnav was seated catching up his work. She joined him and sat on the chair beside his'. "Hi Lavanya!" He gazed at her once with a smile and held his eyes again on the laptop screen.

"Hey! So what's going on nowadays?" She inquired frisky and looked on the screen he was tipping non-stop.

"Just doing some work on the new project." He replied without looking away."And you tell me, how was your date yesterday?" He shut the laptop and turned his face to her.

"It was wonderful. NK is a great person." She answered leering and then chuckled raising her brows. "By the way, the decorations you did were not that bad."

He laughed quietly looking down and then finally spoke to her. "NK blurted it out!?"

"Yes, he was honest. I really appreciate this quality of him. But I want to know, what you and Chamkili-" She stopped at sudden to collect her mind again and continued. "Khushi! What you and Khushi have to do with that?"

Arnav looked at her still smiling but wondering why she wants to start calling her Khushi now? "Khushi?" He asked her almost whispering while raising his brows. "ASR, she is Khushi Singh Raizada now or how she uses to call herself, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, so I think I should stop calling her Chamkili. She is even a mother now."

Arnav just responded with his satisfied expression and looked at her pondering as he remembered what she asked before. "So?" She repeated her question in just one word again and waited for his reply.

"Actually, it..." He was thinking if to tell her the truth or not. But he couldn't lie also. "Khushi wants to pair off you both." He decided to tell her accuracy. There is a true friendship between them after the break up that is maintaining on trust and he don't want to raze it.

"What?" Lavanya was surprised to hear that. Why does Khushi want to pair them off?
