Arnav and Khushi were sitting together...

Arnav to Khushi : You look gorgeous , he said huskily..

Khushi smiled at his remark and lean towards his ear and whispered : You are looking hot and handsome , she said giggling..

Arnav : Oh Really !!! Am I looking hot , he smirked...

Khushi : Yes !!! Smoking hot , she teased him...

Arnav : Uff !!! You are driving me crazy my little minx, he said huskily..

Khushi : Why ? Don't you like me flirting with my boyfriend??? If you don't like I won't repeat it ASR , she smirked...

Arnav : No no... I loved it... I want you to be like this with me.... As my own Sunflower, he whispered in her ears...

Diya and Sheetal were fuming seeing the closeness of Arnav and Khushi...

By this time food were served..

Khushi served the food for Arnav...

Sheetal to Anjali : What's all this bhabhi ? Khushi is so close to Arnav...

Anjali : They are best friends Sheetu , she said looking at Arnav and Khushi...

Anjali : Why all are silently talking to eachother ? Share it with us too...

Diya : I am alone here and Arnee is not even talking to me...

Arnav looked up hearing her complaint...

Aditi : Are we invisible to you Diya?

Khushi nudge Aditi to keep quite...

Khushi to Aditi : Baby it's a waste of your time and energy to talk to her... leave it...

Aditi : Baby !!! It takes every ounce of my patience to tolerate her...

Arnav : Listen to your Bhabhi bacha, he teased them...

Aditi : Bhaijaan !!! You don't talk !!! It's you who brought these witches here... And what did you say ? Bhabhi huh... Oye Hoye , she teased him...

.
" Hey Khush "

.
All turned their attention towards the voice ...

Sheetal : Sidharth !!! Are you for real...

Sidharth looked confused and looked at Khushi to know what's going on...

Khushi jumped from her seat to reach him...

He opened his arms to welcome her in his embrace...

Khushi : Miss you my Gienee...

Sheetal : Do you know Sidharth , Khushi ?

Aditi : Nope !!! She is just hugging a stranger... Are you mad or what ? Or did you lose your common sense..?

Sheetal : How can a middle class girl like her knows the great Sidharth Singhania ?

Aditi : Why not ? Is there any rule that certain classes of people can know only certain classes of people ?

Arnav smiled at the duo... He understood their bonding but still he is ignorant of the relation both of them share..

Khushi holding Sid's hand : Come , join us..

Sidharth : No Khush.. It's family time na... We will meet later...

Sheetal : It's not family time Sidharth... Khushi is not family, still she is here .. You can also join, she said planning something in her mind..

Sidharth and Arnav gritted their teeth hearing her ...

Aditi : Oh really !!! Then you are also not family... I don't remember you being a Raizada...

Diya : Yes ! If we are not family , you too are not.. You are just a relative but not family...

Khushi : Sorry guys.. Anyway dinner is done... I am going to join Sid.. Adu !!! Are you joining ?

Aditi : Ofcourse !!! I love to , she said getting up from her chair...

Khushi : Arnav !!! You ?

Arnav : Ofcourse dear, he stood up smiling...

Nk : We are always ready to join you happiness , he said smiling...

Khushi : Di !!! Would you like to join?

Anjali : No Khushi , Shyamji will be waiting for me. You carry on... We will leave with Mohan...

Khushi : Are you sure di ? You look pale .. Are you ok ?

Sheetal to Anjali : Accept it bhabhi... I want to spent sometime with my ASR , she whined...

Anjali : No Sheetal , they will be late... I need to go home... Diya come let's go...

Diya was fuming ..

Diya : I am not coming Anjali di... I will come with them...

Arnav : No !!! Diya, you go with di... We will be late... You want to take medicine and you shouldn't neglect your sleep. Yesterday too aunty called me and asked me about your health. So you go with di...

Diya : I won't go leaving you..

Khushi and Aditi rolled their eyes...

Sidharth : Is she his lover ??

Khushi : What ??? No no. She is just his friend. Come we need to talk about it.

Khushi dragged Sidharth towards the door.

Sidharth : What's going on Doll ? Why are you so cozy with ASR ? , he asked raising his eyebrows.

Khushi : I will tell you everything. But here you are my close friend not my cousin understand...

Sid : What's going on in your peanut brain Timon ?

Khushi : Simple Pumba. As per Papa's instruction I am not supposed to reveal my identity. Only Adu knows who I am.

Sidharth : Yeah !!! You are right Khush. We shouldn't reveal your identity till uncle gives us permission. And what about ASR ?

Khushi : We are in Love !!!

Sidharth : You whattttt ??, he screamed.

Khushi : Don't shout Dumbo !!! she said hitting on his shoulder.

Sidharth : Wow my baby doll is in love. But ASR ? I can't believe this.

Khushi : I will give you full details later. They are coming.

Sidharth : Hello ASR !!! , he wished smiling.

Arnav : Hello !!! , he said shaking hands smiling.

Khushi : Hey this is Sidharth my childhood best friend, looking at Aditi 's angry pout , no no one of my best friends.

All laughed at her statement.

They all greeted eachother.

Sidharth : What about a night out guys ? We can go to India Gate.

Arnav : Ok !!! We are ready.. He signaled Khushi to go with him in his car.

Khushi : Pumba , I will come with Arnav.

Sidharth : Ohh !!! You forgot me when you got your Arnav huh... Otherwise someone used to make great fuss to come with me , he said teasingly.

Khushi : Nothing like that Sid , she said embarrassed.

All laughed looking at her.

Aditi : Come let's go in Bhai's car. We can meet at India Gate guys.

Aman : Where are you going ? You are coming with me and Akash and NK in their car.

Arnav and Khushi moved towards Arnav's car. Arnav, like a gentleman opened the door for her.

They drove to India Gate .

Arnav : I can't believe all this Khushi. See !! it's just 24 hours since we confessed and you are travelling with me in my car. Only both of us.

Khushi just smiled at him.

Arnav : Why are you silent dear ?

Khushi : Nothing. It all feels like a dream to me , she said looking at him.

Arnav caught hold of Khushi's hand which was lying on her lap. He brought it near his lips and kissed her knuckles.

" I Love You... !!! I really do.. " , he said placing her hand near his heart on his chest.

Khushi : I know , she looked lovingly at him.

Arnav : You know , since I saw you I was craving for you. When I found you and you became my friend I was on cloud nine. But suddenly Diya came and you started distancing yourself from me and I was so hurt. Still I thought may be you are maintaining distance because I have never confessed my feelings. Now I am so happy that I did confessed my love to you. Pleaseeee don't leave me ever jaan. I can't take it , he said kissing her knuckles again and again.

Khushi : Don't you dare talk about that nuisance when I am with you , she said annoyingly.

Arnav laughed hearing that.

Arnav : Why do you hate her so much ?

Khushi : Coz of her " Arneee !!!! " , she mimicked.

Arnav parked the car at the side of the road.

Arnav : I want to tell you something , he said in a serious tone.

Khushi nodded her head and waited for him to continue.

Arnav caught hold of her hand between his hands.

Arnav : Jaan !!! You have no idea how much you mean to me . You no need to be insecure about her presence or anybody else's. No one matters to me like you do. You are my ultimate priority Khushi. I am your's only your's. You are mine. We are one baby. There is no space for insecurities between us. Understand ?

Khushi : Mmm... I don't like her hug...... (she stammered) hugging you.

Arnav laughed hearing that. He pinched her nose playfully and said :

Arnav : I love this possessiveness a lot. I won't allow her to hug me hereafter. Infact I never allowed.

Khushi : I know I am taking too much freedom , she said looking down.

Arnav pulled her chin up and cupped her face.

Arnav : Never !!! Never ever say that again Jaan.. Only you have the right to take freedom on me.. We belongs to eachother jaan.. There is no you and me between us baby. You have all rights on me, Understand ? You are my Sunflower, my very own Sunflower , he said emotionally.

Khushi nodded her head cutely pouting...

Arnav tucked her hair behind her ears...

Arnav : You know I never had any girlfriend till I met you... I never felt like having a life partner... Now I know why I waited till now... I got you...( he smiled lovingly)
You are so precious to me Jaan .. I am head over heals in love with you shona... And I want us to get married as soon as possible ...

Khushi : Hello !!! We just confessed our love .. You reached marriage, she teased him..

Arnav : Yes !!! Coz I want you with me as soon as possible with all legal rights ... I can't take risk...

Khushi : Is this thought coz of Di pestering you to marry Sheetal ?

Arnav : No !!! I don't care about all that... But I fear that If it's late I will lose you , which I don't want at any cost jaan, he said squeezing her hand..

Khushi : Why so?

Arnav : Amma is adament to get me married... And Di wants me to marry Sheetal... And I want to marry you...

Khushi giggled hearing him...

Khushi : Are you scared of aunty?

Arnav : It's not like that baby... I am not scared of her but I love and respect her a lot... She is the one who stood for me in every phase of my life... She was my mom and dad... Dad never cared for me... I don't even remember dad coming near me... But he pampers Di a lot...
Adi was my baby.. It's me who took care of her and pampered her... You know, what was her first word ?

Khushi nodded negatively..

Arnav : Bhai !!! She was very attached to me that , I used to go early to school before she wakes up to avoid seeing her crying when I leave. When I comes back from school , the smile on her face was enough for me to get rid of all my tiredness.. I was her dad literally , he said smiling thinking about his childhood with his little sister..

Khushi : What about Di ?

Arnav : Di was very loving and caring . But since she married that Shyam jha , she became greedy.. Nowadays she calls me only when she needs money or to talk about that Sheetal's proposal , he signed saying that..

Khushi : Hey !! Don't think of all that , she squeezed his hand...

Arnav : No Khushi , I want to tell you everything... Now I got someone, to whom I can share everything.. Do you know how happy I am ?

Khushi : I know... Even I am so happy now , she said smiling..

Arnav : Never leave me Jaan... I can't bear it...

Khushi : I will never leave you...

Arnav : Promise ?

Khushi : Yes !!! Until and unless you want me to , I won't leave you..

Arnav : That will never happen...

Khushi : Then I will never leave you , she said smiling..

Khushi leaned on his shoulder and he placed his cheeks over her head..

Arnav : You know Dad used to beat me always.. Even if he doesn't find his files I will be the scapegoat. I was scared of him.. I used to hide when he comes home coz if he sees me , he will beat me with whatever he gets in his hand...

Khushi : Why he did that only with you?

Arnav : Because he believed that I am bad luck for him. He lost a deal at the time of my birth. Dadi went to an astrologer and the astrologer said that I am a bad luck for Mr.Arvind.
Dad believed it and literally since my birth hates me. I was so scared of him when I was a kid but when I grew up that scare turned into anger and then into hate... I literally hate him Khushi... Now a days he is trying to be cordial with me but I never give a heed about it. He was not there for me when I needed him the most... Now I don't want him, he said fisting his hand...

Khushi : Calm down dear.. I will be there with you always. We all are there for you na.. Just don't think of all that... Chill na , saying this she kissed his cheeks...

Arnav smiled when she kissed him..

Khushi : You know , you look more handsome when you smile..

Arnav : Is it ? Then make me smile often like this , he said tapping his cheeks where she kissed smiling...

Khushi : Awww !!! Naughty boy , she pulled his cheeks...

Arnav : Ha ha.. Yes I am naughty. Leaning towards her ears , "Only for you "

Khushi blushed hearing that...

Khushi : Don't we want to go and join them..

Arnav : I don't want to go.. Let's not go... I want to spend some quality time with you alone... I feel so happy when I am with you...

Khushi : Me too.. Atleast call them and inform them. Otherwise they will be worried..

At the same time a call came in Arnav's phone...

Arnav : Yes baby , we are on the way... We will be late , he said switching the phone speaker on..

Aditi : Why ?

Arnav : I want to spend some quality time with my girl alone , he said looking lovingly at Khushi...

Aditi : No !!! You come now.. You can romance later. I am getting bored here with this business people always talking business , she whined..

Khushi : Adu , we will come for sure but will be a little late that's it. And you were with Aman bhai na then why bored ?

Aditi : Don't you dare talk about him.. I am going to breakup with him.. He is more interested in business than me Khush , she complained..

Khushi : Let's give him a good dose baby , don't worry.. Till I reach , you enjoy the sight there with NK ok..

Aditi : Ok... I miss you ...

Khushi : Miss you too baby... We will come soon... Bye...

Khushi hang up the call..

Arnav : How do you manage Adi , Khushi?

Khushi : She is my sweetheart na... So it's easy , she said smiling..

Arnav : But someone said once that I am her sweetheart, he teased her...

Khushi hit him on his shoulder playfully ..

Khushi : Don't tease me na.. That was just a slip of tongue. Ratna aunty said that you are a sweet heart then , that's why I said like that...

Arnav : What do you think now ? Am I a sweetheart ?

Khushi : You are Sweet heart... My Sweetheart , she said shyly..

Arnav : You looks so cute when you blush Jaan... I feel like gobbling you , he said huskily..

Khushi : Awww !!! Feelings are mutual , saying that she winked at him...

Arnav lean towards her to kiss her...

Suddenly his phone rang again ...

He cursed the person who disturbed their sweet moments..

Arnav : Hello !!!

NK : Nannav !!! Where are you ? Come fast... We are waiting for you...

Arnav : Ok , saying so he hang up call... Let's go now otherwise they will keep on calling us , disturbing us..

Khushi : Yes , saying this she hugged his biceps and lean on his shoulder while he started the car...

They were very much in peace in their small world then suddenly Khushi's phone rang...

Arnav : (sighing ) Tell them that we are coming...

Khushi : This is Manorama aunty , Hello aunty...

Manorama : Khushi beta , Where is Arnav Bitwa ? I called NK and he said he is with you.. I called him but his phone is unreachable.. Is he with you beta ?

Khushi : Yes aunty !! What happened aunty , you sounds worried?

Manorama : Come home beta.. Don't panic.. Anjali fainted... You people come.. Doctor is checking her..

Khushi : She is ok na aunty ?

Manorama : Yes beta.. You come home soon..

Khushi : Ok Aunty... Bye

Arnav : What happened ?

Khushi : Let's go home... Di fainted... She is at RM now...

Arnav suddenly stopped the car to to take a U turn ...

Khushi : Don't panic Arnav... She is fine now , saying she pressed his hand ...

Arnav felt relief when she did that as he felt like he have someone to rely on...

Khushi : Let me call others , saying that she called others to inform them about the matter...
