Days passed by, Khushi concentrated on her exam and wrote it well. The Indian super league started and her whole family supported Arnav.

Khushi's heart danced with joy when she came to know that he is going to be in Mumbai for a match. She thought she can see him or visit him at the hotel they are staying, but Arnav told her that he will be busy in practice and all. She got disappointed, but didn't say anything to him.

One day evening, Khushi is sitting with her family when they heard the calling bell ringing. She opened the door and got surprised to see the person standing in front of her.

"You here???" Khushi asked her bestie who pushed her away and entered the room.

"Hai uncle and Kasi... How are you aunty??"

"I'm good bitiya. Khushi didn't tell us that you are coming."

"That's because I didn't told her. I thought I should give her a surprise."
Payal chatted with her family for sometime.

"Uncle and aunty, one of my friend's uncle work in the football federation and I got 5 passes for that north east v/s goa match. I hope that you all will come to the match. Papa is out of station, that's why I'm asking you aunty." Payal asked Elisa who consider her as a daughter.

"We will go in my car and come back after the match. Please agree to this. Our senior also is playing in that match."

"Yeah, we know that Arnav beta is playing for Goa. When is the match bitiya?" Davis asked Payal.

"Day after tomorrow, at 5 in the evening. It's vip ticket, so we can check in few minutes before the match." Khushi gave Payal a meaningful look which she ignored.

"Okay then, we can go for the match bitiya. I have never seen a match in a stadium. Also it's been a long time since we all gone for an outing."

"Ammi, I'm taking Payalia to my room."
Payal smiled and walked behind her.

Khushi locked the door and turned towards Payal folding her hands.
"When did that laadgovernor planned all these?" She asked Payal.

"Three weeks before. He is just crazy about you Khushi. He really want you to be there for the match. You know your laadgovernor sponsored my flight tickets for this, but he is still damn bossy." Khushi giggled hearing that.

"Do you know how your don presentation this matter? Payal, I want you to bring Khushi and her family to the match in Mumbai which is on this date. I want you to take three day leave from this date to this. I have mailed you the flight tickets. If he wasn't your boyfriend, I would have pulled out his tongue for talking like that."

"Anyway, how can he be sure that I will agree to accompany you??"

"Your don know you very well. So he already gave an answer for this question. If you won't be there, it will be the worst match in his life. He won't play well if you won't be there to watch him play.
He also told me to tell you that he won't change his word. So you have to come brainy, for your laadgovernor for sure."
Khushi smiled and nodded her head.

One the day before the match. Khushi got a call from him.

"Laadgovernor, when did you plan all these??"

"Even before the auction... I want you in the stadium. Won't you cheer for your laadgovernor?"

"There will be a lot of people to cheer."

"But I want my baby to cheer for me."
Khushi smiled hearing him demand like a child

"Arnav, will we meet each other in the stadium?" She asked with excitement.

"How can I leave without seeing my baby? I wish I could kiss you tomorrow, but whole area will be under surveillance."

"Hmm... What about washroom?" She suggest with a blush on her face.

"Well it's good to know that you are becoming shameless like me. No baby..I'm not going to kiss you in the washroom. I agree that I'm desperate, but I won't risk anything when it's about you. Moreover you are not a person to be kissed in such a place. Baby, make sure not to look so beautiful." He teased her

"For you I'm always beautiful, then what can I do?" She teased him.

"You are beautiful and you should make sure that your man don't get a hard on in such a crowded place."

"Hmm...no..." She murmured as he teased her.

"I wish I could see your blushing face. I'm excited baby, can't wait to see you tomorrow."

"Perform well Arnav, I will be there to see my man kicking the ball." She added making him smile.

Next day, Payal came to pick up Khushi and her family. They left to the stadium and sat down in the VIP lounge.

"Payal bitiya, where is your friend's uncle?? Do you know him?" Davis asked Payal.

"Hmm... No...but...my friend has already told her uncle about us. He may be here."
Payal answer while Khushi hide her smile. Payal gave her a warning look for smiling at her

"Smile brainy... I take this risk for you and you are having fun on my expense. Payal whined."

"That was fun. But I'm really glad that you are here with me."

"Well I'm not doing this without any profit. Your don promised me tickets for a match in Kolkata. Your man did keep his promise to treat me for sneaking you out." Khushi smiled and looked at the ground.

"Payalia, see there is Arnav." She pointed out the team members coming to the ground.

Tears started to fell from her eyes as she saw him on the ground in real.

"Khush, I can't manage if your parents ask me why you are crying." She smiled and wiped her tears.

"I'm just happy, beyond happy to see him like this." Khushi said and payal squeezed her hand lightly. She saw him looking at the direction of their lounge.

Khushi controlled herself from whistling or dancing whenever he played well. She clapped when he kicked a goal. Finally the game ended and it's the time for award ceremony. They won 1 to 0 and Arnav got the prize for kicking the goal.

"So how do you feel?" The anchor asked Arnav after he received his prize.

"It's feels wonderful. I would like to thank my team for making this happen.
This is the first match I'm playing in my hometown and it's so special. Especially with the presence of people who means so much to me. So it's indeed a good feeling to receive this prize here." He said peeking at the lonuge. For Khushi it was hard to control her tears when she heard him say that.

After the ceremony, the teams went to their dressing room. His teammates raised him on their shoulder and walked towards the lounge. He asked them to put him down when he reached near the lounge. He raised his hand at them and asked his teammates to go. He walked towards his world with a smile.

"Hello sir, I'm so surprised to see here. I hope you liked the game."

"It's was a good game and you played well." Arnav smiled at her father and looked at her mother.

"How are you aunty?" He asked Elisa.

"I'm good. It's the first time we are watching a game like this. It's really good. All thanks to Payal for bringing the tickets."

"I'm glad that you all enjoyed the match. How are you doing Kasi?"

"Totally fine bhaiyya, you played well. We all cheered for you."

"Did you enjoyed the game?" He asked Khushi who stood there trying to control her tears. She just nodded her head with a smile. Payal squeezed her hand understanding her feeling.

"You played well ASR." Payal answered instead of Khushi.

"Bhaiyya can we all have a selfie together?" Kasi asked taking Khushi's phone.

"Sure." Saying this he stood with khushi while others stood in front of them.

"Payal Di, you are an expert in selfies. So you take the photo." Kasi said giving the phone to her. Khushi felt him entwining their hands together. She smiled looking at the camera and squeezed his hand.
Payal gave them time to savour that little moment.

He bid adieu to them and went to the dressing room feeling her heart with joy.
There were happy to have that little moment, but it wasn't enough for them.

That night Payal stayed in Khushi's house. They talked about everything that is happening in their life. Arnav called her and they talked for some time. She got sad to know that he will be leaving Mumbai that night itself.

Next day she went to college felling happy about everything happened yesterday. When she reached college, she found girls drooling over the newspaper.

"What are you girls looking at?" She asked Bety.

"This." She pointed at the picture of Arnav.

"He is such a hottie." Another girl commented.

"Look at his beard and man bun...he is sex on the leg." One of the girl commented.

"Wasn't he your senior in college?" Ayesha asked Khushi. Khushi nodded her head.

"Does he have any girlfriend?" Smitha asked her.

Hmm...l don't know. Khushi replied.

"He seems to be a person who uses girls as tissue paper." Ayesha commented making her angry.

"How can you say that when you don't know him? He was my senior and he wasn't like that." Khushi raised her voice and shouted.

"He looks like a playboy with killer looks." Ayesha told her.

"I know that you are his junior and you must have know him. I didn't mean to offend you Khushi." She apologized

"I...I don't know him very much. It's just I don't like judging people without knowing them." Khushi tried to cover up.

"Hey Khushi, how was he in college?" Bety asked her.

"Hmm...he used to play football. I don't know much about him. He is from other department." Saying this she took out her books.

"I'm not interested in this topic." She said feeling irritated. She don't like how people judge him just because of his look. Her Arnav is the perfect man a girl can ever have. A single tear rolled down from her eye, wetting the paper.

Khushi wiped her tear without anyone noticing her. She felt an intense urge to see him. She took his phone and walked outside calling him. Her frustration raised as his phone is switched off.

Throughout the day she is in a bad mood.
She got his call in evening.
"Baby, Salim bhai will be waiting for you near to the XYZ cafe. I gave him something to give you. Make sure that you go and meet him." Arnav let her know.

"Arnav, I want to talk to you."

"Baby, I'm really busy. I will call you later at night." Saying this he hung up the call making her little disappointed.

She walked to the cafe and tried to spot Salim Bhai, but didn't find him there.
That's when a car comes and stopped infront of her.

"Get in baby." Arnav said opening the door for her while still sitting inside the car.

"Arnav, you here??"

"Get in baby. I will tell you everything."

Khushi get into the car and kept staring at him. Tears started to roll from her eyes as she remembered what happened in her class. Arnav squeezed her hand as he drives the car to a place where they can have some privacy.

Arnav stopped the car and turned towards her. Khushi hugged him and started to cry l. He thought that she is crying because of seeing him after a long time. He kept stroking her head.

"Baby, I understood that you missed me but that doesn't mean that you should flood the car with your tears." He tried to cheer her up but he didn't get any desired result from her.

He understood that there is something that is nagging her and disentangled from the hug. He cupped her face as tears rolled out from her eyes.
"Baby, what happened? Did someone do something? Why are you crying like this?"

"How can they... It hurts a lot." She hiccups as she tried to talk to him.

"Baby, what happened? Who are they? Are you hurt?" He asked with a lot of concern. She hugged him and silently wept on his chest. He held her in his arms feeling frustrated.

Her sob subdued and she called him. Arnav made her sit on his lap and gave water to drink.
"Now tell me what's it? Don't you dare say that nothing happened." He warned her.

He wiped her tears and she rest her head on his shoulder while playing with the buttons on his shirt. She told him what happened in her class.

"How can they say that by judging your look? They don't know you and told me this crap about you. It's hurts when I see people referring you as a playboy when you are the most loyal man a girl can ever have in her life." She found him smiling and sat properly on his lap to face him.

"Why are you smiling laadgovernor? Here I'm worried for you and you are smiling hearing all this." She questioned him.

"You look adorable baby." He kissed her cheeks.

"Coming to what you are saying, you shouldn't give heed to these things." He tucked her loose hair behind her ear.

"Baby, a lot of people will think like that. We can't go and change their mind. I know that it hurts you, but you know me. Their opinion shouldn't be matter to us. Let them think whatever they want, I'm only concerned about you. Promise me that you won't get affected by these things?"

"Give me time, I will do that." He kissed her forehead and stroked her cheek.
She rests her head on his shoulder for some time.

"Arnav, you are a celebrity now." She breaks the silence between them.

"F**k the society for that." He said feeling frustrated.

"Isn't it a good thing?" She asked him.

"Baby, do you really think I got famous because of my career?"

"Hmm...yesterday you played well and maybe that's why everyone knows you. Everyone in the college was talking about you."

"Baby, our society is obsessed with looks baby. Other than looks, nothing else matters."

"Don't you know how girls get viral just because of their looks? I'm an addition to that list and it's making me damn frustrated."

"I don't know that."

"I too don't know that till today morning. I went out today morning and found people staring at me, some of them even clicked pics. Then I got a call from the boys, they told me what happened. The playing video got viral. I have become a internet sensation now."

"So now everyone knows you?" She asked him.

"Yeah. Just because I look like this."

"You are frustrated because of this?"

"I expected this, but not to this extend." He took his phone and gave it to her.

"Type my name in Google, you will understand why I'm frustrated." Khushi typed his first name and automatic 'Arnav Singh Raizada girlfriend' came up in the search box.

"They want to know about your girlfriend." She asked searching for it.

"They want to know about you baby. I don't want to drag you into this mess. This media are like vultures. You just concentrate on your studies. Just tell Payal and Kasi not to post any picture of me. Let me handle it."

"So everything is going to change from now?" A worried Khushi asked him.

"Yes, everything except us. We will remain the same. We just have to be little careful when we meet. Leave that to me. I will take care of that." He said kissing her forehead.

"So what are you going to do with your fame?"

"I don't know. Right now I'm pissed off by it."

"Do you have any idea what I should do with it?"

"Hmm, you should use it for good deeds.
Now everyone is watching you, so don't leave any bad impression on anyone. Maybe you can use this opportunity to propagate indian football. Till now, nobody give heed to any football player. You can use this opportunity to showcase what our team is capable of doing. Show them that it's not your looks, but your talent that stands out. And the most important thing, keep control on your anger. Right now, you are the face of our team. You can make it good or ruin it with your action. Just be good to people when they ask for pics and autographs."

"Baby, you know that I hate these things."

"Don't be a laadgovernor now. Can you do something for me?" She asked him.

"Don't ask me to do that things." He told her.

"No, I'm not going to ask you that."
She shook her head with a smile.

"Okay, what's it?"

"Just make me proud. Proud of having you as my boyfriend. Proud of having this good man in my life." She said pointing at him.

"You are damn smart baby. No doubt, you are destined to be mine."

"So will you make me proud?" She asked forwarding her hand in front of him.

"It's about my girl's pride, I can't go against that." Saying this he placed his palm over her palm.

"Now give your laadgovernor a good kiss for being the best boyfriend." Khushi giggled and kissed him passionately.

They moved away from each other panting for breathe.
"I missed this a lot baby." Saying this he pulled her for another kiss. Khushi hugged him wrapping her arms around him.

"Arnav why are here now? You told me that you left Mumbai yesterday. When will you go back to Goa."

"I'm tired from playing so hard, so I'm here to collect some energy booster from my sexy girlfriend." He flirts with her.

"I lied because I wanted to surprise my adorable girl and I will leave tonight.
Got answers for all your questions?? Is there any other questions remaining?"

"No, I'm more interested in giving some energy boosters to my handsome man."

"He is a damn lucky man." Arnav said pulling her closer for some kisses.

After some time,
"Laadgovernor, why did you swollen my lips like this?"

"As if you didn't do anything to my lips." Arnav said looking at his lips through the mirror. They looked at each other and laughed.

"I'm going to miss you a lot." She said cupping his face.

"I will be back to you once this season gets over baby. Just be happy and take care of your health. I brought something for you, don't deny it this time." Saying this he placed a debit card on her hand.

"Just keep this with you. Right now, I'm in a mess and I don't want to drag you in it.
Just use it if any emergencies comes, don't go to anyone asking for help. Concentrate on your studies and take care of your family."

"Arnav, this.. what if someone comes to know about it? I don't want anyone to think that I'm after your money."

"Let them think whatever they want. I know you well. This is for my peace of mind. I can't come and see you like I used to be. Now most of the people can recognise me. Don't worry, I will make sure that nobody comes to know about it. This account is very personal. You don't need to worry about anything. Above all that, I know that you won't use it unless it's very emergency. Just keep it with you safely." Khushi nodded her head hesitantly.

"I think I should drop you home now." Arnav said after some time

"I wish I could spend some more time with you."

"When you will be back, it won't be the same."

"We will find a way, don't stress your intelligent brain over this matter. Nothing can take you away from me.
You trust me, don't you?"

"A lot."

"Then trust me that I won't ever let your cry because of me. You are my priority baby."

He stroked her hair and decided to drop the bomb on her.
"Baby, do you check out the yellow pages and gossips?" He asked her.

"Not always, sometimes. Payal keep tab on these things. Why are we talking about it?"

"This media only know how to hurt people without any mercy. They will make any stories to sell. I don't want to drag you into this mess. So if they ask me about my relationship status, I'm going to tell that I'm single. Just don't take it to your heart. If they get any inking about you they will tarnish your image baby. I won't ever let that happen. Let's every go smoothly till you finishes your college."

"What about after that??"

"Well then we will tell the world that I'm taken by this sexy girl." He flicked his nose on her nose making her smile

"Promise me that you will stay strong for me and concentrate on your life."

"You will be in my life, won't you?" She asked him.

"I'm not going anywhere baby. I'm just a call apart, but from now I will be little invisible. If my baby needs me just tell me, your laadgovernor will be there for you." He pecked her lips and pulled her for a hug.

"When will you leave?" She asked him.

"At night."

"Can we spend some time together?" She asked him.

"I know that I have to drop you back home after half an hour, so we can spend that much time. Do you want to go somewhere or stay here?" He asked her.

"Let's stay here. Its been long since I had you this close."

"I too like this." He said wrapping his arms around her waist.

"You are doing a good job in taking care of you." He said looking at her.

"Well, I don't want my man to worry about my health. This is a big opportunity for you, just concentrate on your career. When will you have the next match?x She asked him.

"Next week, it's in Chennai." Khushi nodded her head and untied the bun which held his long hairs. He let her do whatever she wants to do with his hair.

"Your hair is better than mine." She said stroking his hair.

"I like your hair baby."

"You looks so good in this hair style and with these beard." She ran her hand over his beard.

"Good isn't the right word baby. Can you try something else?" He asked with a naughty glint in his eyes.

"How about cute and adorable?" She teased him

"Baby, cuteness and adorableness can't drive your hormones crazy. It is something else."

"Is it beautiful??" She raised her eyebrows at him with a naughty smile.

"Okay, let's do it in my way." He caught hold on her hands and made her lean onto the steering. He nuzzled his nose on her neck making her close her eyes in pleasure. He nipped and sucked her neck making her moan a little.

"Should I continue? It's going to frustrate both of us baby."

"No..." She said as he placed a moist kiss on her neck and pulled back.

"I don't mind carrying it forward." He winked at her. Khushi smiled and pulled his beard.

"You look damn sexy and hot in this way."

"Yeah, I know that I'm smoking hot. Now let me kiss my hot girlfriend. /" He lean forward to kiss her and she placed her hand to cover her lips. Arnav lowered his iris and then looked at her.

"Don't you dare swell my lips." She warned and he nodded his head with a smile. She removed her hand and let him kiss her tenderly.

"See, I kept my word." He said stroking her lips with his finger.

"Will I be lucky enough to see you without these hairs anytime soon?"

"Sorry to disappoint you baby, I'm planning to look smoking hot and drive you crazy." He said with a wink. He flicked his nose with her nose.

"Just keep this smile on your face always."

"If only you take care of yourself and your anger." She pinched his nose.

"Are you still following the anger management therapy?"

"Yes I am following it as I promised you."

"Did you find any change in you recently?" She asked him.

"A little, I'm not that aggressive in the ground because of it. Anyway my anger is like a bomb, it can explode anytime if they hit the right button."

"Can't you work on that?"

"It's hard and I don't think I can do that."
Khushi nodded knowing the things which provokes him.

"But be careful when you are in public. Keep your anger in control, if someone approach you for photos and autographs."

"If they try to enter into my personal space, I won't stay silent." He said feeling agitated with the idea of mingling with strangers.

"They only want some pics and autographs, there won't be any harm in it."

"Baby, you know how much I hate people touching me without my permission. I don't know what I'm going to do if someone try something." Khushi knew how girls hug and kisses celebrities. If someone tries to do it, he may kick the person without caring anything.

"Hmm, what will you do if someone ask for a hug?" She asked not knowing the reaction.

"F***, this is why I hate this whole thing. I won't let any f***ing person to touch me."

"Don't be angry Arnav, just hear me out."

"You shouldn't get angry at anyone like this. Just tell them that you are not comfortable with hugs and offer to take a picture or autograph."

"Can I be free from all these crap?"

"Well, you are a celebrity now. So you have to bear it."

"Then I'm going to mess it up. You can expect that.";Khushi know that she can't help him with this matter.

"Okay, just don't get aggressive. If someone ask you for hug, refuse them. Try to be a little bit polite. If someone hug you, just don't kick them."

"Your classes are not going to help me baby."

"But still I can advice my man, can't I? Just be prepared for all these, so that you can minimise the problems. You can do that, can't you?" She placed a kiss on forehead and looked at him for an answer.

"I will try baby. Don't think about all these, I can manage it. Even if something happens, don't let that affect your studies."

"When will I see again?" She asked him.

"After three weeks, I will be having another match here. Will you be able to attend it?"

"I don't know, this time Payal was there to help us. What will I tell my parents if they ask about the tickets? The match will only end at night too."

"I can arrange a cab for you."

"It's okay, you concentrate in the match. Even if I'm not in the stadium, you know that I will be watching it." He placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I will be here for a day after that match. If you don't have class, we can spend our time together."

"What if I have class?" She asked.

"Then I will wait till your class get over."

"I will let you know about my class then. Will it be okay for us to go out?" Concern filled her eyes.

"Leave that to me, don't worry about me. I have decided to spend my day with my girl and nothing is going to stop that. Now let me drop you home baby." Saying this he started the car.

"Take care of yourself Arnav. Make me proud." She said before exiting from the car.

"I will be baby. You too take care of yourself and concentrate on your studies." He placed a kiss on her forehead. Khushi went to her home and he left after making sure that she entered her house.
