Mumbai

Khushi Kumari Gupta opened her eyes and looked at the clock near by.

"Its just 6.30." Khushi muttered and realised that she have shooting today.

"Hey devimaiyya, why did you do this to me?" Saying this she rushed to get ready. She need to reach the shooting set before 7.30. she stuffs a little food in her mouth and went to the set.

Khushi reached the set just 10 minutes before the fixed time.

"Gupta, you late again?" Lavanya asked her as she saw her running into the set.

"Is everyone here?" Khushi asked her.

"No, the hero is yet to arrive. You should get ready before it." Lavanya advised her and Khushi went to get ready for filming.

One hour later,

"Start action camera" the director shouted and the music started to play. Khushi and Lavanya started to dance standing behind other fellow dancers. The hero and heroine did their part standing in front of the camera.

"Cut" the director said as he isn't satisfied with the hero's moves.

"Yash, we will take this scene once again." The director said to the hero.

"Khushi, he is a terrible dancer. Today we have to dance a lot because of him."

"I just hope that the production manager makes our payment correctly. The last film I worked with, I got into a fight with that moron." Khushi told Lavanya.

"Yeah, I was not well at that time, or else I would have given you a company in that fight." Lavanya winked at her friend and they kept practising the dance moves.

It was around 7 in the evening, when the shooting got ended.

"So how's your Arnav?" Lavanya asked about her friend's new found love.

"He is good. Yesterday we went for a movie and spend our day well."

"Any thing special happened?" Lavanya teased her.

"No, he is a gentleman."

"Not even a kiss?" Lavanya got her answer when she saw her blushing.

"O ohh, someone is blushing."

"You are too much Anya." Khushi pinched her friend for teasing her. Khushi dropped Lavanya and went to her apartment.

Khushi met Arnav through a mutual friend. They were dating for two months now, he is a silent and calm person who works in a firm. He made her feel special and listened to all her craps. In all her dates, the man just left once they know that she is a background dancer in profession. She isn't here to look for a chance in bollywood, she is here to tie the two ends of her family who lives in Lucknow. Being a dancer, paid her well enough to survive in this city. Unlike other man, Arnav don't have any problem with her being a background dancer. He understood her. He is also someone like her, who is working hard to help his family. Khushi fondly smiled remembering the first kiss they have shared yesterday, it felt magical and right.

Khushi changed her dress and lie down on her bed with a smile on her face. She can't wait to see Arnav tomorrow.

Arnav reached her apartment to pick her up.

"Am I looking good?" Khushi asked wearing a purple top and jeans.

"You look beautiful." He complimented and she blushed at him.

"Let's go Khushi." Arnav said and held her hand.

"Wait, Arnav why are you wearing two different socks?" Khushi asked noticing the grey and black socks on her foot.

"Hmm, I was in a hurry. So it got tangled up." Arnav said and covered his foot so that no one can see it.

"Ohh, sometimes it happens. Shall we move?"

"Hmm, can I kiss you?" Arnav asked her and Khushi smiled at him. Last night too, he initiated their kiss by taking permission form her.

"From now kiss me whenever you want to kiss me, but no PDA." She said and moved closer to him. Arnav wrapped his arms and her and kissed her thoroughly.

"Khushi, where is your chain?" Arnav asked not seeing her devimaiyya chain which is always wear.

"I had to pledge it. Had some emergencies at home."

"But it was your father's gift to you?" Arnav asked knowing how much she values the chain given by her father.

"Yeah, but that's okay. I'm sure that babuji will understand it. In fact I told him about it and he is totally okay with it."

"How did you know about it?" Arnav asked her.

"He twinkles brightly when I ask him." Khushi said with a giggle and sipped her tea.

Arshi spend their time together and is on their way back home. They were walking towards Khushi's apartment.

"Ohh, I totally forgot to buy some groceries. Is it okay if we buy some things from the supermarket?"

"Sure." Arnav said hesitantly. They entered the shop and Khushi drag him to the cosmetic section.

"Its been long since I brought some nail polish. I sucks in selection and you seems to be good with it. Can you select something for me?" Khushi asked him and Arnav looked at the brown and pale green range of nail polishes in front of him. Arnav took one in his hand and inspected it to see if there is any marking regarding colours, but he didn't find anything.

"Hmm, I'm can't decide anything Khushi. You can tell me what you like." Arnav told her.

"Okay, select something red." Khushi told him.

"Okay." Arnav looked at the dark brown colours and picked one from it.

"Why are you taking the brown shade?" Khushi asked him.

"I was about to take the shade behind it." He covered up.

"But that's full of blue shades."

"I meant tk the sides." He placed it back and looked carefully at the nail polishes. He felt frustrated and took a nail polish randomly.

"I like this."

"Well, it's transparent." Khushi told him.

"I'm not good at this Khushi, you select one." Arnav said and Khushi decided to select one for herself.

"Arnav, can you please buy me some bananas and apples while I purchase here?" Khushi asked him and he nodded his head.

Arnav came back with the fruits and joined Khushi who have done her little shopping. They were about to bill when Khushi noticed that the fruits are not that ripen.

"Arnav, they are not ripen enough to eat. Let's me go and place it back." Saying this she went back to the fruits section to place it back. When she reached there she found ripen banana and apples too.

"Why didn't he take this?" Khushi asked herself and replaced the unripen banana and apples with ripen one.

"Arnav, why didn't you chose the ripe one from the fruits?" Khushi asked him.

"I thought you want to store it, so I chose the unripe fruits."

"No, I dont want to store it." Khushi said and placed the fruits in the basket.

They were walking back to her apartment. Khushi showed Arnav her thumb nail which is painted in a red colour.

"Isn't it good? I like red colour a lot. Which is your favourite colour Arnav?" Khushi said as she admired her nail.

"Blue."

"Well, blue is also a nice colour." Khushi commented and they walked forward.

"I had a nice time Arnav, thanks for making me feel special." Khushi kissed his cheek and he smiled at her.

Arnav walked towards the bus stop thinking about everything that happened in his life. All the bullying and embarrassed her have had faced in his life. How the girl whom he first proposed mocked his love and made fun of him. After that he didn't look for love but when he met Khushi, he felt a warm in her. Somehow she understood his silence and actions. He is afraid to let his secret out, fearing that she will also go away from him. With all these thoughts Arnav opened his apartment and look at the socks on his foot which shows his incapability.
