Arnav POV

Phewww.

Finally I am done with my ppt.

Yup...you guessed it right I am ready with the verbal presentation of my much awaited confession.

It took me nearly ages to come up with something as weird and as unique as this particular confesssion. Also Khushi Gupta did not make things any easier with her constant bickering about my delay in the very same matter. I admit I am really slow in comparison to my girlfriend. She had recognized her soulmate at first sight...so unlike me who took ages to draw the same conclusion.

Anyways....now I need to contact Lavanya and Aman so that I can complete the stage two of this grand proposal. Oh before I forget I should drop Khushi a text. Because last night she was totally lost to reality. Goshhh I should make sure that she never ever drinks again. A drunk Khushi is a total disaster huh.

Reacalling about her captivating antics a smile made an appearance on my usually broody face. And I texted my beloved. I tapped on the send button and then proceeded to call Aman.

Khushi POV

Hmmm.

Oh DEVI MAIYAAAAA....

MY HEAD HURTS LIKE HELL....

DID SOMEONE HAMMER IT? OR IS IT STILL BEING HAMMERED?

Ughhhhhhhhh.

With a lot of difficulty I found the courage to open my eyes which felt really heavy. After a minute I started gaining recognition of my surroundings. Okay. I am sleeping on my stomach in last nights dress. Woahhhhhh....

LAST NIGHT....

Like a flashback all my bold and epic moments struck me within seconds.

Cuchikoo...Arniekins...Babycakes...Arnuuuu....

Oops...

Before I could contemplate much about it a furious Jeeji stood near my bedside with a glass of water and tablets. And wordlessly I drank the water with the meds. As my severe headache compelled me to do so.

"Khushi Gupta thank your stars that Buaji, Amma and Babuji have gone out to the temple orelse they would have grounded you for the rest of your life."
Jeeji remarked.

"Oho Jeeji please dont start with all this. My head is already pounding at the moment. Can you refrain the scoldings for a while? Please?"
I pleaded.

Felling pity at my condition Jeeji nodded and then lifted an eyebrow asking for an explaination. And I told her everything. About one drink to loosen up a little which ended up to several drinks consequently resulting in my drunkard state.
"It was very nice of your boss/boyfriend ASR to drop you home at such an hour."
She stated with a smile.

"Yeah I know Jeeji. He is supercute. Arnavji bas dikhte bhole se hain par bade Chaiyyn Chabile types hain. Humdono ki jodi isliye to itni kamaal hai."
(Dont go on the looks...Arnavji seems to be all innocent but in reality he is very adventurous like me. We are a couple made in heaven you see).

She snickered in response.
"By the way your Arnavji said that you can come to office after lunch since you need time to get over this hangover of yours. You take a bath and I will prepare the breakfast alright."
With that Jeeji left the room giving me the necessary privacy to start my day.

Eventually after having my lunch with the family I left for office. Thanking my lucky stars that Arnavji is my boss I reached my desired destination calmly with no hurry at all.

Arnav POV

"Everything is ready?"
I asked in a taut voice. However my hands shook with nervousness and anticipation about the upcoming moment.

"Yes ASR no worries."
Aman commented watching my not so calm stance.

Before I could say anything else a very excited Lavanya walked in my cabin.
"Relax ASR everything is set and ready. You just control those butterflies in your stomach. Its pretty obvious to feel nervous in such situations. And you know what....Khushi will love all that you have prepared for her. So chill."
She added with a wink.

I smirked hearing her last words. Ofcourse my girl will love it. I have done all preparations keeping in mind her likes and dislikes. Now all that is needed is Khushi Gupta herself. And then the wait will be over.

Khushi POV

As soon as I entered the office a very eager Lavanyaji hugged me in a breathless grip.
Woahhhh. Whats is going on??
I thought to myself. But as expected I said the words outloud.

With a hearty laugh she let me go.
"Relax Khushiji nothing is going on...yet."
She replied in a teasing tone.

"What does that even mean Lavanyaji?? Are you hiding something? Come on tell me? I am really curious now."
I questioned playfully.

"Nope. My lips are sealed. By the way you should go to Aman. He needs your help with something. Its urgent."
Hearing the word urgent I scurried to Amanjis cabin.

Where he was waiting for me with a look that screamed excitement and urgency. Before I could ask him anything he simply held my elbow and guided me towards the private elevators of ARD.

OH DEVI MAIYYA...where is Amanji taking me...I have never used the private elevators?!?
"But Amanji we cannot use this lift right??"
I asked curiously. Normal employees cannot use this lift.

"Relax Khushi no worries. I have permission to let you use this lift."

Something monumental was about to happen..

My 6th sense was beaming an alert sign at me.

A while later the lift stopped at the terrace of the ARD. I turned back towards Aman to ask whats happening but the man just pushed me out of the lift and then whoosh the doors of the elevator were shut. I jerked back not understanding the ridiculousness of Lavanyaji and Amanjis behavior.

I turned around to explore the area only to stop in my tracks feeling thunderstruck by the decorations.

Fairylights....

Gazebo...

Flowers...

And an ecstatic Arnavji.

I wanted someone to pinch me at this moment.

THIS IS PHENOMENAL!!!!

I gasped in surprise. Arnavji sauntered in my direction with a smirk on his usually red face. Hmmm this is definitely huge. I thought to myself.

"Khushi..."
Arnavji whispered my name softly  and then gripped my hands in his. Slowly he started rubbing his thumb over the back of my hands. Calmness enveloped me.

"ARNAVJIIII...this is simply AMAZING!!!!"
I almost shouted in excitement.

"Come.."
Again he replied in a soft tone and proceeded to guide me to the gazebo. The weather was really pleasant. My hair were blowing since it was all windy.

"Arnavji why did you do all this?"
I questioned him. Unable to figure out thr reason behind this sudden romantic date.

He stared into my eyes with a look that screamed love and passion. For the first time he was not feeling shy sharing an eyelock with me.
"Khushi..."

One second he was standing with our hands intertwined and the next second he kneeled down on the ground.
"I am about to confess something that should have been said ages ago. But you know me. I am a little slow in these things. However, I dont want to delay this any longer Khushi Gupta. I Arnav Singh Raizada is in LOVE with YOU. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you Marry ME??? Kya tum iss Serious Singh Raizada ki Life mein Apni Happy go Lucky wali personality se khushiyaan bhar dogi my girl?"
(Will you be a part of this Serious Singh Raizadas Life and fill it with your Happy go Lucky personality my girl?)

For a while none of said a word.

Silence filled the air.

And then I could no longer control my excitement.

Here I was waiting for a love confession but Mr. Raizada fulfilled all my dreams with this lil speech of his.

I smiled.

Then giggled.

And then nodded my head in approval.

"Zindagi bhar ki Deal hai Arnavji. Ab to hum aapse chumbak ki tarah chipak jayenge. Rukiye isse baat pe hum aapko jhappi aur pappi denge."
(Its a Deal of a lifetime Arnavji. Now I will stick to you like magnet. Wait for all this you deserve a kiss and a hug).

And then I proceeded to hug my Arnavji who was now lying on the ground from the force of my hug. I was lying on top of him. Both of us chuckled thinking about our happiness. As promised I kissed Arnavji. This was the longest that we kissed. I only left Arnavjis lips when I realised he needed to breath as well.

"Khushi...you...you..are...crazy.."
He said all breathless and red.

I laughed in response. Hehehe. And Shy Singh Raizada returns.
"Woh to hai. Aur ab Mrs. Raizada kehne ki aadat daal lijiye Arnavji."
(Thats true. Now get in the habit of calling me Mrs. Raizada Arnavji).

He turned beetroot red hearing my words.
"Okay dear. Love you."
He said making me lay my head on his chest.

"Love you too Hubby dear."
And then smiled watching his flustered self.

We kept talking about silly things. Minutes turned into hours. However we did not stop. There was so much to say and discuss too.

"Arnavji Ab aap humein humare SASURAL walon se kab milwayegein? Aur haan hum pehle hi bata dein hum HONEYMOON pe Munnar jaane chahtein hain woh bahut sundar jagah hai..humne google kara hai. Arey sabse important baat humein in total 4 CHUNNU MUNNU chahiye. Aapka kya sujhav hai??"
(Arnavji when are you taking me to meet my IN LAWS? And yes I just wanted to let you know that we will go to Munnar for our HONEYMOON okay..its a beautiful place...I have googled it. And yes the most important thing I want in total 4 MUNCHKINS of ours. Whats your take on it??)

Before I could ask him about his silence I found myself faceplanted on the floor. I gasped with the sudden fall.

Arnavji was now standing with a look that screamed terror!!!

Arnav POV

IN LAWS....okay...it s fine Arnav its meant to happen. Relax.

.....HONEYMOON IN MUNNAR???? So sooon???  But.... I....we ....the...wedding....what...uhhh....okay breath...

WHAT THE.....

Khushi ne to bachhe bhi decide karliye.....
(Khushi is already planning about the kids...)

"Arnavji??!! Whats wrong? You scared me?"
She said while getting up from the ground.

"I scared you? I SCARED YOU? KHUSHI....CHUNNU MUNNU....I mean....I...."
Blood rushed all over my face. I am sure I resembled a tomato right now.

"Oho...AAP to abhi se Sharma rahe hain. DADDY SINGH RAIZADA!!"
(Aweee...YOU are feeling Shy so early. DADDY SINGH RAIZADA!!)

My ears felt warm yet again....
"I...I..I...I have a meeting with....with the..PR...team...I gotto go..."
Saying so I rushed towards the elevator area. Followed by a bold and flirty Khushi Gupta.

"Arey Aap aise kaise jaa saktein hain...kuch to bataye...koi clue to dijiye...ladke chahiye ya ladkiyan...4 se 5 bache to bante hi hain na...arey Arnavji...suniye...aapto aise bhaag rhein hain jaise hum aapko ched rahein ho. Arey ab to hone wali biwi hain aapki..."
(Why are you fleeing away from me...say something...give me a clue atleast...you want boys or girls...4 to 5 kids are a must...hey Arnavji....listen...you are running away from me as if I am eve teasing you. Now I am your would be wife...)

Khushi continued with her ramblings even in the elevator. As soon as it stopped on my floor I quickly held a palm over her mouth. She wiggled her eyebrows asking me to let go.
"We will discuss this later Khushi. Please. Dont talk about Chunnu Munnu during office hours. I beg you."
I pleaded.

"Promise me. Promise me right now. Dont embarass me yaar. Sab office mein meri khiili udayenge."
(Everyone will laugh at me).

She nodded and then gestured to my palm which was still placed over her mouth. She kissed it twice making me gasp with pleasure. I quickly let go off her face.
"Relax Arnavji. We will discuss about the Munchkins later. Alright?"

I nodded in return and then headed to my cabin but not before kissing Khushis forehead.

Proposal and confession - completed.

Family intro and wedding talks - pending.

Phewwww.
