arshi os 2 The Challenge... of LOVE!!!



Arshi OS 2:
The Challenge... of LOVE!!!


...
What was actually love I understood when I met her.. A simple girl wearing salwar kameez was never my type.. [At least this was the thinking of each person who knew me.] My all classmates use to call me ASR the short of my initials Arnav Singh Raizada.. As per my name i too was very handsome n hot personality of collage.. i know i am saying very much about me but u know what... it was truth... after all i always use to say.. Arnav Singh Raizada is never wrong.. but who knew my this ego..this thinking would be crushed in smallest particles by a simplest girl about whom i had never thought in my dreams..just even to hold her hand..!!
Yes..This was the girl..Dark hazel eyes..plumy soft lips..rosy cheeks..a big swan neck..and pure white soft milky skin..and mostly...the loveliest smile..for which i am ready to die hundreds of times. this was the girl who had made my heart to sing its own "humm song" the very first sight i saw her.. walking..?? no..running through the campus to the admission hall.
Cladded in a white cuddidar..with a big black plait of her hairs from among those some had managed to come out on her face while she was running making her look more prettier than ever.
almost pushing me n all others who came in her way n then turning n saying "sorry" to each of then she ran n ran until she reached the window of the clerk. Gasping for breath she held her stomach n handed the man her  reports n documents. all the way i was hell angry over that little spoilt girl who had managed to steal Arnav Singh raizada's heart n even push him the very first day he saw her.
Aman mathur my fellow mate said.. "ASR she is our new first year goat.. Shall we chase??"
i said..let her wander around n get familiar..then i'll see. Lavanya kashyap my classmate who claimed herself to be my girlfriend said "ASR she pushed u..need to pay didn’t she??"
"Hmm..Lets go. Its time for class." i said while picking my bag.
"ASR is afraid?" came a voice.
I didn’t even bothered to turn..i knew from the voice who was it..After all it was the voice of my best friend I could get.. Akash khanna. my best friend n soon to be fiancĂ© of my sister payal Singh Raizada.
"Akash" i said.. "You know..ASR is never afraid."
"Prove it brother" Akash said pulling payal in his arms.
"r u challenging me??" i asked.
"if you think so..Then yes..but it has one condition" Akash said kissing payal's hand.
"what's it Akash??" lavanya said holding my hand which i had just removed.
"you'll date that chick..propose her..and then ditch her" Akash said.
"Bloody hell... never." i shouted.
Coz in my mind i thought after proposing her how could I ditch her..
What the..!!
Am i thinking to propose her??
Never..!!
ASR won’t ever propose a girl.
And that to her..???
But she looks really beautiful thought a part of my mind.
What the hell am i thinking?? this far.. no ways.
"not at all Akash..I won’t ever." i said. don’t know why but lavanya seemed very grateful to me..she had agreed my decision at very first instant..maybe she had thought i would leave her..but i had never thought her more than a classmate.!
"See payal..didnt i said ur brother is a coward."
"AKASH" I shouted.."mind ur language..i am not a coward"
"prove it Arnav..and as far as i know u..u have never led any girl to come close to u..tumhe kissi bhi ladki se aaj tak farak nahi pada hai..so why r u thinking a second thought for that that first year girl??" Akash said all while looking at lavanya who was fuming in anger.
"ASR won’t do this Akash..he won’t even look at that..chamkili type girl" lavanya declared.
"Who are u say this..miss la?" Akash asked in mocking way.
"No one." I said. "I’ll do"
I declared and went away. Leaving behind a bewildered and angry lavanya n smiling and happy Akash who held payal n came behind me. Later day I asked aman to find out every single detail about that running n hopping girl who was known as chamkili by now as la had called her.
"Her name is Khushi..Khushi kumari gupta" aman said handing me a paper with a bottle of coke. i took the paper..We were sitting at lake side n were having coke and burgers.
"Khushi" I said.
My heart started its mad dance only at the mention of her name. True to her personality her name was..Khushi..Indeed she spread smile over everyone's face where ever she go..coz i saw her waving even the watchman after college whom i saw smiling after like ages coz that old watchman just used to shout over we youngsters for parking bikes here n there.
I again took one sip of coke n read further..
Name: Khushi kumari gupta.
DOB: 19 july XOXO
Parents/ guardians:
• shashi gupta and Garima gupta [both deceased] 
• noor Fatima[guardian]
Residence: Lady Marian’s orphanage, sector 8, girls hostel.
She was orphan...I thought..my heart pained for her..the ever smiling and charming girl was alone. I read further n found that khushi was a teacher too in that orphanage. She wanted to become a cardiologist and was very sharp n talented girl.
"so?" asked Akash
"so what?" i asked.
"r u ready?? Tomorrow will be ur first day in her life" he said.
I swallowed but said with confidence "sure"
The next day i went to college at same time I always use to go. While going in i saw a very strange thing.. Khushi was feeding biscuits to stray dogs and was patting them. Many little puppies too were there.. One cute white puppy came running n sat on her lap n ate the biscuits.
"she is crazy" i said myself.
till then Khushi stood up n started to cross road. i saw a huge truck coming near her..she seemed to be in her own land..i shouted her name but in vain..at last in nook of time i ran n caught hold of her hand n pulled her to me so hard that she hugged me as tight as possible..i felt her shivering from head to toe.
she was shivering very much..i said.."relax."

"thank u" she said comming out of the embrace..i suddenly felt the lack of her warmth..
*ohh..! i wished how she could have stayed here in my arms forever*..
"what the..! what am i thinking?? " i thought.
leaving her behind i made my way to the campus where i met my friends..among whom akash was giving cheeky smile while lavnya was boring her anger full eyes in mine..obvious to their looks i concluded they have seen my first encounter with khushi..!!!
"somebody saveee me.....oooo...somebodyyyy just savvveeeeeeeee meee..."
"SHUT UP AKASH..!!!"
I shouted atlast when akash sang the title song of smallvile show "somebody save me" upteenth time..coz he was thinking i was terribly falling for khushi...and being his best friend i didnt told him.. he was singing this song since we came in class..making me more irritated..at last i shouted on him. but i couldnt deny his saying..i was actually falling for khushi coz since i came in class i didnt had single moment when i didnt though about her.. she was soo filled in my thoughts as if she was the soul reason to make me alive..!!!
~
"ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA is in LOVE " this would be appt title na naanv.'.. NK the clown of our group said.
"add MADLY with khushi kumari gupta" this would be most appt" akash concluded.
"stop it guys..." i said after a week passed to my n khushi's meet.
after that i had talked her when she met me in library and then we went to lake side together.. we had fun..khushi was becoming free towards me.. she was smiling whenever i saw her.. we would study together..talk late nights on phone and also we had visited the brand new magic show together.. later i came to knw aksh had seen us n ohh dear god how they had teased me.. just it had lurched lavnya so much that she stopped talking to me.
"kisse farak padta hai.. n she'll hier anyother boy..leave her..tu aapni khushi pe concentrate kar" akash adviced.
akash had taken strong dislike to lavanya since day they met...so i knw his reaction would have had been same which he gave me. but i liked what he said..true to my concept.."who cares..!!"
after few weeks..my n khushi's friendship bloomed very much.. we went on sky diving..where i had seen a fearful khushi, then on sea surfing..where i saw a awesome khushi.. .. when we had been at the dhabba..i saw a diffrent side of khushi.. she helped the dhaba owner to cook food and even then after that danced with the shabby kids of the workers in rain.. khushi lived live at its fullest n gave it same in return..it was now impossible for me to stay away from her..even that mere thought made my stomach grumble.
~
one month passed..

we were all together this month.. today was last day of my session.. we were going to leave this campus for aspiring our future by proving our tallent.. i was selected for havard university.. khushi knew this..she was very happy that day when i told her.. later i saw few tears in her eyes..although khushi said it were happy tears..i knew her well now.. she was crying by the mere thought that i would leave her..!
who knew i had to ditch her this day...!
farewell day came.. i was dressed very well..khushi was my mate this day. i was very happy..coz i had confessed her..that i LOVED her..yes..which had a very happy ending too..a lovely passionate kiss follwed by sweet warm hug.. it happened yesterday.. how?? read..
one day before the farewell day..
"khushii..khushii stop.." i called her..running behind her since last fifteen minutes.
"u cant catch me arnav" khushi said looking behind n running forward.. result.. tripped n was about to fall when i caught...pulled her hard in my arms.
"u cant run...away from me..kaha tha na maine" i said in deep voice making khushi tremble in my arms.
"arnav leave me..plzz.." khushi pleaded.
"if i dont then" i asked.
""AKASH..!!!" khushi shouted
n i left her with jolt looking behind me for akash..i thought why on earth this guy had to come in between my romantic mood..but to my fool's teeth.. khushi joked..in the nick moment she passed like sand from my arms n ran saying..." akash is at home arnav..hahaha" laughing she ran only again to get banged on my hard chest.
"where will u run my little butterfly??" i asked.
"arnavvvv..plzzz" khushi said.
"what please?" i asked with innocence.
"stop trying to seduce me u raizada" she said..n i left her laughing away very hard.
"why..why khushi.. r u seducible??" i asked trying to control my laugh
.
"no" she declared.
"thats what i thought...but khushi i want to show u something" i said n held her hand n took her away with me.
"khushi was looking at the park with wonder.. i assured her that she was safe..she did trusted me..which i broke mercilessly..
"arnav where r we going??" she asked.
"u said ur mom dad became stars na khushi" i asked.
"yes.."
"so..benith them..under their shadow..look at thoose stars whom u consider ur mom dad..i want to say u..to which they r the soul witness that..
I LOVE U KHUSHI..I LOVE U FROM BOTTOM OF MY HEART"
i said all this by closing my eyes and that to in such hurry that i thought she would slap me..
[atleast i thought this due to akash's experince when he propose payal she had slapped him.]
"why have u closed ur eyes??" came her reply.
"huh??"
"open ur eyes arnav..i wont slap u" she said.
"as soon as opened my eyes i stumbled back as khushi came running n hugged me so tight i lost balance n we felled on the grass..
"wont u answer??" i asked.
"is it necessary??"
"i suppose yes.."
"then.. i ..I ..
before she could say something i swiftley rolled over her n looked at the angle beneath me..
"yes khushi..?" i asked nuzzling my nose over her sented hairs..*jasmine...smell*
"I LOVE YOU arnav" she said n i claimled her lips with mine....softley at first..when the passion grew n it turned a passionate one i never knew neither khushi did.. the kiss was the seal for our relation..whom the stars n the bright moon was a witness..!
i smiled as i recalled the last days events..
farewell day..present day...
"hey ASR.." came a known voice..i turned n saw lavnya in red evening dress. i smiled at her n she came n hugged me.
"so..looking as usual a handsome humk..ready to ditch that chamkili" lavnya said slyly.
"what?" i was shocked.
"ohh comme..on darling..dont pretend i kow the bet which akash gave u on first day.. that u would date that khushi..pretened to love her n at last ditch her..dont u agree this?" lavnaya said making me come out of the shock.
"i..i.. forgot the last .. i tried to say but was too late..something had fallen..a glass thing i suppose.. i watched at the door.. there stood khushi in a red sari..who had probably listen our conversation n was now in tears.. the something which fell was a gift which was now near her feet..
 "khu..
but was too late..she ran away...
***
"khushi wait.." i ran behind her..it started pouring.. "what the h**l what time is it???" i said myself.. i ran behind khushi only in one hope that i could atleast tell her..
only if...
i could catch her...
"wakt ke lamhe parindey bankey uud jatey hai arnav...unhe thaam ke unka istemal karna sikho... agar kabhi sach me waqt haath se nikal gaya to...we can just regret"
[the TIME fly out like a caged bird..learn to hold n use it properly when it is with us...after it is gone we can just regret]
...i remembered her words when we were talking about our happy to-be- future.. i had never ever dreamt that her words could be true so soon.
"ARNAV.." i turned around n saw my friends running to me.. payal, akash, NK, they were drenched n didnt cared for that..they knew i was broken and shattered..
"arnav...khushi...akash started "...went away" came lavanya's voice.
"WHAT???" everyone let out a gasp.
"look lavanya...u r a girl.. being in my limits i know never to slap a lady... but isske pehele mai aapna aapa kho du...just get lost" akash said holding my arm tightly as if he knew how hard i was wishing to give one smack on her cheek.
"what???... u akash..dont come between me n ASR.. n waise bhi..it was all ur plan..to make propose to khushi n then ditch her...so agar maine use complete kar diya...whats wrong with u guys??"
"lavnya...just go..." i shouted.
"but ASR... at least tell me what i did??? " lavanya argued.
"ill tell what u did.." akash stood...."i know i asked aranv to propose khushi n then ditch her...but u knw what...when khushi accidently collieded with arnav on very first day...arnav had fallen in love with her... stop giving me the look raizada...i know coz tum once in blue moon smile karte ho...n that day the smile which i saw on ur face....i knew it very well coz even i have madley in love with ur sister.." akash said n winked payal...i was shocked..my best friend knew me so well.
"but i knew.. " akash continued.. "ki..untill n unless u r in his life...he would never accept...n i used that thing only which works best for him...the challeneg.. i wonder i should ask anjali di that arnav bachpan se har kaam challenege mode me hi karta hai kya??"... akash said n i smiled in the midst of such tension.
he continued.. "so miss la..i knew very well..once a thing take ASR's heart...he never lose it...n i knew it very well from beggning that arnav would never ditch khushi...but u....why on earth u did that??? what u get after hurting such innocent soul like khushi?? n who the damn got u here...u had gone to alberquie??? isn't it??" akash asked.
"i am sorry nanav...akash..i had called lavana..i thought she would be happy...nanavv mere dost...i i am sorry..i didnt knew that she would turn out the black witch at last moment." NK said..his head down with shame n tears flowing..he was a soft person i knew..la used him very well.
"i know nk...leave it...i guess...khushi kabhi meri thi hi nahi ki mai usse kho du...we might have not meant to be together."
i said n walked away in the rain not knowing where my path was taking me..akash tried to stop me..but i had not any single ray of hope to stay back where i lost my khushi..my happiness..i broke her heart..the little tiny heart who was full of love for me..i crashed her trust mercilessly...if only her devi-maiyya could forgive me...i would think khushi would get me someday..but to a lost nomad like me...god was also ashamed to help..he didnt even care to stop pouring coz he knew i was on fault...the fault to make a innocent girl cry.
SEVEN YEARS PASSED...
but life was still for me...though i had grown in empire and my fame as the youngest business tycoon in fashion world had my nani n dii proud of me...yet i was lonely inside..the feeling of hollowness never drecreased in that.
akash was married to payal..my elder dii anjali had given birth to a boy..my nani was very happy.. she was detected with a small cyst near her heart.. doctors suggested opration.. nani's last wish was to see me getting married..but i never wanted to..or yes may be i wanted but only with that girl whom i loved..whom i lost..to my khushi.
"chotte... i have a single wish to see u getting marry.. i have less time .." nani started
"nani please.. dont say this.." i insited.. "nani i..i dont knw..but..i'll get married..but not nw...plz nani..let ur opration get done..we would talk." i said n walked out of nani's room.
"till when will u search her chotte??" di asked.
"i dont know dii...may be all my life..just to ask a single chance if she can gve..but leave it..tomoro is nani's opration, a famous cardiologist is comming from uk..she is best in whole india..and now famous in uk too.i talked with her p.a. kaal jana hai..be ready."
"ok chotte" dii said n i went in office
...
"arnav..finally u came..i was about to call u" akash came in.
he was my partner in buisness... he was very sharp and acurate that i felt very happy at times to have in my life..he was like my brother..we had colaborated three companies..AR which was mine who designed dresses..a fashion company, khanna's raw materials..akash and payal were its owners..and at last mehra's shippings which hepled our material transports...NanadKishor Mehra alias our NK owned it..he had became very strong n now was no more a clown.. after lavanya's facio i came to knw he had deep crush on her..but after her true colors were seen by all of us..NK had lost faith over love.. he still thought himself guilty for breaking khushi's n ultimately my heart.
only I wished atleast not me...but NK deserved a good life partner..!!
"arnav.. are u listening??" akash said upteenth time when i had again lost in my past..
"hmm akash..say..?" i said trying to grip up my emotions.
"arnav..we got the deal brother..the blacks and blacks have accepted our offer..they were happy when heard it.. the CEO of blacks n blacks company..Mr. Jacob balck is comming india today..so shall i appoint his meeting tomoro??" akash asked.
"that wonderfull news akash.." i said.. "but as far as i know the CEO is never seen out in media...isn't it?" i asked
"i think he is black...look his name nannav. so he is not comming out to meet others.." nk shared his knowledge.
akash smiled n said.. "yes arnav..so shall i ask him for a dinner with us..at shantivan or at my place? what say...we r now going to work for four years..it would be good if we know more about each other.." akash asked
"mm..ok..i'll ask dii..if she is ok..then keep at shantivan..ok?" i said.
"ok...boss... wait mai usse mail kar deta hu.." akash said n we began our daily work. who knew our this lifeless life was going to turn in small span of time.
the next day i took nani to sanjeevni hospital. she was admitted in private ward ..dii jiju n anshul my dii's boy were with us.. later payal, akash, NK too came..payal took anshul home when the opration started..the speacialist was already in OT..i was very shocked at her punctuality.
few hours passed..
the red light went off..i stod up with jiju n akash..the doctors came out..
"doctor?" i asked
"the opration was successfull Mr. Raizada..u can visit ur naniji in sometime..madam is having last tests done..she is in her private ward." the doc said.
"thank u doctor.."
everyone was happy.. dii prayed her devimaiyya again reminding me of khushi.. [actually i was feeling that khushi is with me since we entered the ward..but again i brushed of my thoughts..] i had to see nani..n thank that doctor..who gave my nani a new life.
as soon as we entered the room of nani i heard her saying.. "jite raho bitiya... bahut hushaar hai aap" [live long my child..u r really tallented.]
"thank u nani.." i heard the soft voice..this voice..my heart again started its mad humm-ing dance after almost seven years..!! was she??
"khushi" i said slowley.
the female doc turned..n there she was cladded in pink jeans n white t-shirt..a white coat over it along with a sthetescope around her swan like neck..her hairs were open..held with small clips of kitten like structure..a pinkish gloss over her rosy lips n the face which adorned the brightest n loviest smile ever..
bang..bang..bang...
the writing pad which she was holding fell down..
"arnav" i heard her wisper.
"u know him bitiya?? he is my grandson" nani asked.
but khushi was unmoved..she was still looking at me..her dark hazel eyes had tears now..i knew all past hurts came again to her mind..only i could wipe the i thought.
"bitiya??" nani asked again.
no response.
"khushiiiiiii" akash shouted..
she looked at him n smiled then saw at nani n said.. "sorry naniji...yes i know ur grandson..he is a well known buisness tycoon." khushi said..her last words pained in my heart deep down..she didnt want to remember our  past days when we were together.
"khushiji??? hi... u were with chotte in university na??" anjali di asked.
"chotte??" khushi looked confused while i flushed..why did di want to embarass me infront of her taking my pet name???
"ohh i mean arnav..we call him chotte at home" anjali di said n i saw a small smile crept on khushi's face...i thanked dii thoussands of time in mind.
"ji... we were.." khushi said taking one look at me.. "mam can we talk out..patient needs rest..n plz two members at one time should be in ward" khushi asked dii politely.
"ji..accha..chotte i n shamji will see nani..phir aap log aao" di said..i knew she wanted me to talk with khushi.
"hmm di"
we came out..khushi rushed at first...wiping her tears so no one could see she came out n was about to go when i called her..
"khushi..?"
she didnt turned but didnt moved ahead also.
"thanks for..for..
"she was my patient..i did that what a doc would do..no need to thank me Mr. raizada." khushi said.n went away
"she is changed..hai na nannav?" NK asked.
"hmm.."
"but arnav...win her this time yaar..say her truth..tum to ussse ****ne nahi wale the na??" akash asked.
"hmm"
"stopp hmm bhai..gooo" payal said n we four went behind her but before we could reach her someone banged with her..
"aauchh.." khushi said i went to shout on that man but stopped hearing khushi's words.
"jake...cant u see??"
* means she knew that boy* i thought
"kittu..sorry.. its an emergency...challo.." the boy said n dragged khushi with him.
"mera naam kittu nahi khushi hai Mr. Jacob black..kaab samzhoge tum??" khushi said n i heard the name..was he?? he was the famous tycoon jacob black..the ceo of blacks n blacks?? what was he doing with khushi?? n why the hell he called her kittu?? was he her hus..noo..she would have wore mangalsutra then...
"foreign me mangalsutra nahi pehente." akash said as if he read my thoughts. i saw him with an raised eyebrow..
"i knw tu kya soch raha hai...but he is single ..i mean black ceo.." akash said... "dont raise ur brow yaar..i read his profile after payal shouted how hot he looks.."
i raised my brow again n this made akash very angry..he stamped his foot n went away..i laughed a little after years..this too due to after seeing khushi..she was mine..i will win her..i thought.
"his name is black but wo to gora hai na nannav.." nk asked..i left to visit nani before he starts to eat my head.
That day i promised nani to get married soon..nani knew i am thinking of khushi she blessed me. anjali di n sham jiju teased alot.
next day the owner of ceo company came for dinner with us n to my surprise..khushi came with him in a creamy pink salwar suit..she looked as angel..from her looks i knew she was angry on jacob as i thought he had nt told her where he was taking her for dinner..i thanked him in mind.
after dinner she took our leave but didnt even saw me..once too..!!
i went behind her only to hear..
"stop it jake...couldnt u tell me that we were comming here??" khushi said.
"i..i am sorry kittu"
"its khushi" she shouted.
"ohhkay..sweetie pie..calm down... if u cried then who will help me in wedding preparations??" jacob said n my world came crashing down.
"hmm..sorry...come lets go...we have to select rings now" khushi said n both went away.
i felt lost again..yes she deserved a good guy n jacob was one too..he was smart n was rich..plus he cared khushi alott...she had moved on... i deserved this.
i went back home..
"kya hua??"
"what happen??"
payal, nk, akash asked.
"she have moved on...she is getting married to jacob..they went to select rings." i said n everyone was left shocked.
"i deserve this..i hurt her"
"but did u ditch her arnav?? she has to listen everything truth...what if she still love u??" akash said in firm voice.
"no akash...they both r happy..let them be..i dont want to mess with her life again.." i said n went in my study.
i never knew my friends loved me so much that they made different plans for me.
...
...
...
...
...
Sitting on bend knee..with a red rose in hand he said.. 

“I LOVE YOU ..I LO..

But His words died as he got a huge smack followed by a punch on his face. ..
“what the hell.. *punch*
“stop.. *punch*
“how dare u..how dare u Jacob black?? How dare u to hurt Khushi??” I said punching Jacob continuously.
“stop Mr. Raizada” Jacob said trying to get grip on me.
But I was no where to stop he punched Jacob hard n hard until..
SLAP
I  felt a burn on his cheek…i saw up n found a angry Khushi who had just slapped me.
“Khushi..you?” i tried to say.
“how dare u to beat Jake??” she shouted.
“what?? He is a fraud..i saw him proposing this girl” i said pointing to a sweet girl who had wore red evening dress.
“”that girl is the one with whom Jake is going to marry..if he wont propose her then whom will he do??” Khushi asked.
“kya??” i was shattered.
“yes Mr. Raizada. Meet Bella swan.. my fiancĂ© n soon to be wife..” Jacob said
“but..but..why were u proposing her then??” a baffeled me asked.
“because these have their silly demands..even after saying I love u..they need a proposal.” Jacob said wiping the blood drops at his face.
“i..i thought..but why u went with Khushi to get rings then??” i asked still confused.
“how u knw??” Khushi asked in shock.
“i..i heard u last night…” i said.
“oo..u actually heard half.. Khushi helped me in selecting rings..i am not good in them u see.. but yaar kittu..
“its Khushi” said i n Khushi together.
..ohhkay..khushi.. I think someone still loves u very much ki I could almost have died today.:” jaocb said winking Bella who was still shock
“its not like that Jake.. n Mr. Raizada..cant u make anything?? Sirf todna jante ho… why on earth u beat him??” Khushi asked.
“because he still LOVES u n thought u moved on with Jake n he don’t want ur heart to break again.” Came a voice.
“Akash?” Khushi n I said.
we saw our all friends there..nk payal, Akash n even Anjali di n sham.
“”Khushi..arnav still love u..n he never wanted Jacob to hurt u..after seeing this he couldn’t stop himself.” Akash said.
“but..but how u knw that we were here?” Khushi asked.
“actually Mr.black sorry..u almost spilled that u were going to propose ur lady love miss Bella here..last night when I called u..” Akash said smiling at Jacob who smiled back.
I n Khushi looked in disbelief.
“I thought this would make both of come together” Akash said.
“Akash” i whispered.
“you knew before” Khushi asked Jacob.
“yes..but I never knew tera romeo muzhi itna pitega..i have to book spa treatment soon nw yaar” Jacob said winking me.’
“sorry Mr. black” i said.
“ohh oo.. its ok Mr. Raizada.. afterall..i knew always…kittu loved u..n only u can keep her happy..but u desereved a slap..that Khushi gave u..” Jacob said n smiled broadly.
“I hate u both guys..” Khushi said n took her purse n went away.
“Khushi” I, nk payal n Akash said.
“kittu” Jacob called.
“Khushiji..” Anjali n sham shouted.
But all in vain..she went.
“abb tu kya kar raha hai?? Go mann… ek do aur kha lega to kuch nahi hoga.. even if she beats u..accept n go n make up with her.” Jacob said n made everyone laugh n me afraid..coz i just received a smack.
I ran after Khushi n held her hand..
“Khushi atleast listen to me..” i said.
“leave me Arnav..everything was over seven years ago..i hate u” Khushi said struggling to get out of my grip.
“ohh really? i asked.
“yes..i..i..hate..u” Khushi said.
“if so..look in my eyes n say” i asked.
“Arnav..please leave me” she asked again
“Khushi look in my eyes n say damn it” i shouted.
“I cant..i cant look in your eyes n say that I hate u..coz bloody hell I love u still so mu…
Her words died..my mouth came crashing to her with such a force that even a moan couldn’t come out..she didn’t knew what happen at first..but then she struggled..i tighten my grip even more..kissing her like a thirsty man.
After sometime she to gave in n kissed me back.
we kissed..n kissed..which was our kiss of reunion..of a thirst which was quenched after seven years.
“I love u too” I  said breaking the kiss n wiping the tears of Khushi.
I hugged her..tightly..she cried in my arms. Kissing her hairs i said..
“I am sorry..to hurt u..but I never wanted to leave u Khushi..believe me once.”
“that..that..day lavanyaji said..u will ditch me that day..i said no u wont..but she asked to listen by my ears if u say that” Khushi said withen her sobs.
“I am sorry Khushi..but..but I never said I’ll leave u” i said.
“u said u agreed to her saying u’ll leave me..n even said u forgot..arnav..i have very sad past..everyone who loved me went away..i thought u’ll do same.. *sobs* but then I couldn’t have lived if u had said that u hate me in front of me..so I went away..thinking I can live with my memories of u..but see again I met u” Khushi said.
I  lifted her face n said.. “only if u had heard me..we could have spent these seven years together..
..n till nw a lil cricket team of arav n Khushi had been also formed.” Came voice of Jacob.
“Jake” Khushi shouted.
“he said true” i said slowly making Khushi go red.
“shameless chote” Anjali di said.
“dii…did I said anything wrong??” I asked.
“not at all sale sahab” sham jiju said.
“yes..n Khushi..u should have slapped bhai at the day when u proposed him… its better to slap them at first..like I did” payal said.
Akash’s jaw dropped n Jacob n Bella smiled.
“u r right payal..i should have done that” Khushi said.
“so..now..both wedding would be on same day..any objection??” sham jiju said n everyone else shouted.. “no objection my lord.”
Laughing n smiling we went home. I kissed her again before waving her good night.
We got married..had our sweet honeymoon in morocco n now we r waiting for my little princess..our little Raizada baby.
“congratulations Mr.raizada..its girl” doctor said after sometime.
Everyone was happy..i went to meet my beautiful wife n my baby..
“she is just like u Arnav” Khushi said.
“I knw.. but look at her skin..its like u..softest..” I said n hugged my baby n wife..who were my life..n I had learnt lesson not to take life as challenge..n if is taken..then have that potential to win..!
I am happiest man nw..with my wife Khushi..my daughter samaira who is the most cute baby I had ever seen.
Nani was happiest to see her grandson’s lovely family with her great grand daughter.
Till today I thank Akash for throwing that stupid challenge of prosoing my Khushi.
It was indeed a challenge of love..which I lost..but was happy even in my defeat.

OS.1 Iss Pyaar KO Naam Doon???

ARSHI OS: 1

 Iss Pyaar KO Naam Doon???

***
  
We were in love since like many ages… but the realization dawned to me when he almost killed the guy in our campus who tried to hurt me. 

For me Arnav was my soul..my life..my whole meaning of existence. I never doubted him. His tender care n loving nature was that all I had needed. He never cared for world if it matters me.

 He would turn the world upside down to make me happy…he was my.. best friend.. my home.. my true love.

We both belonged to a middle class family. I was orphan but lived with a widow lady whom I called khala. She was the only one who gave me motherly love n fulfilled the space of fatherly figure. Her husband was an army officer who sacrificed himself on battle field. After his last rituals she saw me crying for my amma babuji whom I lost in the war…instantly motherly love woke in her n she took me to her home..a true home where she used to live with her husband. She got his pension but preferred to work as a school teacher n made me educated.
It was 2010 when I joined Punjab College of fashion designing. It was when I met Arnav. Like every love story we had fight at start. But later on went to be best friends n at last became couple. We along with lavanya our best friend made the whole college turn up side down by our non stop talking…which obviously included me n la and Arnav would be silent spectator… he was silent becoz he would silently obseve me..i came to know this when he proposed me…! Our trio was called as saif-daina-deepika of COKTAIL…! We were real buddies. But like in movie we both falled for Arnav. Who initially liked me… It was Valentine’s Day when Arnav asked me under the sky full of twinkling stars that he loved me. He propsed me like I had always dreamt of…sitting on one leg and pulling out a small ring…!
I silently cried on that moment before answering him..he got scared..he knew I was not from such background n he respected me for that.. he asked..
“Khushi are u ok? Did..did I hurt u??” his concerned voice made things miserable n I cried out…
He was about to say something more to console me but I hugged him making him go clueless. “what the” he uttered his patented words. I chuckled.
“Khushi..whats wrong…why r u crying?” he asked.
“u..u..how much money u wasted over this ring..?” after a few second silence I heard Arnav’s laughter…the most melodious sound I could love.
“why r u laughing” I asked pouting my lips.
“sorry..but u know u really crazy…that’s why I call u sankadevi…a absolute one n only one piece made by god.” He said.
“Arnav” I punched him hard before crashing myself in his embrace. “Arnav I know u work in garage to complete ur studies..u live in ur home alone… such expensive gifts..i really don’t want…I want u to fulfil ur dream..which is to be a top fashion designer..i want u to fulfill it…nothing else arnie. Really.” I said
“ok Khushi…I promise not to buy u any gifts  till I get my goal but…but still u have not answered me my tigress…” he said n I hid myself more into him.
“what? Khushi don’t hide damn it…come n tell..i am not gonna sit down again on one knee..it hurts yaar…” he said n I lightly punched his back.
“ouch Khushi..u should be in boxing team u know.” He said.
“hmm.”
“Khushi..tell na…I really wanna listen” he cribbed like a kid.
“Arnav u only say na my eyes speak more than me?” I asked.
“umm..not in this matter Khushi….my chatterbox plz tell” he solicited again.
“I love you..i really really do…u…u crazy Raizada.” I said n gained a quick peck on cheek…which turned scarlet red.
“Khushi u do blush” he said with shock.
“what?” I was double shock as I expected something good. “I am..
“its good u blush…sign of girl…rather a fierce tigress.” He said n we shared a hug n good time.
All was well. Lavanya came to know about Arnav’s proposal n my answer…initially I didn’t get that she was envious..like a friend I thought she must be happy for me..until that day when she made me to test my love on pretense of being her best friend. I was caught in a situation like I was in between valley n deep blue sea. What to do was my only worry..one side was my love..Arnav whom I trusted blindly…and one side was my best friend who question my friendship. At last I said..i won’t test Arnav. But lavanya said I am very simple..arnav had many girls behind him..he was famous..What if he someday chose someone n left me…just for my well being as a friend she was telling me to test him..i was overpowered by the fake emotional talks of la..Which she actually did to separate us..!
That day I decided to test my Arnav..whom I trusted blindly..more than myself. I took devi maiyya in my side by making much emotional drama...devi maiyya my partner in each happy n sad moments...!
It was the Sunday n the next day was our graduation day. Arnav was coming to me to take me so that we would go out to do some shopping for next day. He was going to be awarded student of year…he said it was most important day of his life…even it was for me. When he came I was sleeping on bed. As expected he rushed to me n asked.. “Khushi..khushi are u ok? What happened to u.?” I failed to read his chocolate eyes that day..! I sat up n gave him a a paper. Arnav read that n sat down with a thud…! It was my report from a doctor which read I had only 16 hours left with me n I was suffering with cancer. I was watching his face keenly. It showed no expression rather than a pale face.  A unadorned look..whom I could never comprehend.
I was damn eager to know his reaction but he just stood up n stomped out of my house. I thought he found that the report was fake but next moment la called n I told her what had happened. She was very happy but fakely consoled me saying it was bound to happen…she said she guessed right about Arnav n see just due to fake news he left her…when he had to be her support….! I felt my dream world crushing…I felt my Arnav did that really…I cried..n cried…n cried..!
After just four hours he returned n lifted me n said.. “next 12 hours u’ll not ask me what am I doing or where I am taking u…whatever I tell u’ll obey that.”
 I just nodded. Khala saw us n thought it must be new teen craze after all she knew we love each other n would like to get married after graduation. So she brushed of the thought n went to her work.
He took me to a deserted place..it was fully covered with green bed..of fresh grass..the morning dews were still playing on it…the green tress..making whooshing sound of the mild breeze…and the twittering of the birds… “PERFECT” was only word for a such a paradise if it was on earth… I opened my arms n stretched them as far as I could n tried to dissolve in that soft wind.. I saw Arnav..he had a small smile on his face..probably this was what he needed…my happiness.
Later Arnav took me to  a wild life park..i saw many new animals whom I had never seen before. I was jumping like kid n clinging to his arms as I used to do always…he just watched me n smiled at my craziness…!
Later on he took me to a water park..we enjoyed each n every bit of that day. We played in water as if we r small kids who saw water for first time..arnav did all for just to make me happy. I knew he was a reserved boy..never he expressed anything in words..he just did such things which always left me speechless…unlike a lover boy who may do many silly things to woo his girlfriend, Arnav never did. He never gifted me since that day he proposed me..it was my demand after all…but every time he buyed fresh crispy jalebies for me..which I could never say no…!
After that he took me t devi maiyya’s temple n even came in with me. I was touched deeply n felt guilty for checking his power of love.. we prayed to devi maiyya n I opened eyes…I saw Arnav who was still prayin n noticed a small drop at corner of his eyes….! Ohh devi maiyya what I did…I thought.
We went to sohan halwais shop…he took fresh jalebies for me…n took me to a mall..we got many cloths..and even I purchased a sherwani for him..! after that he took me to a sunset point which I had still unkown. It was very lovely sight…! That time it occurred to me…where did he get this much money? Arnav was a mechanic n lived alone..his needs were few n he was saving so that he could go to havard..who had accepted him for his future education. I was in his embrace when this thought crossed my mind. He was stroking my hairs lightly.
“Arnav” I said.
“hmm”
“from where did u get this much money?” I asked him breaking our hug.
“er..khu.. he tried to say..n finally looking at ground he said softly n silently… “I sold my house Khushi”
THUMP
I felled on ground. He got worried n said..”Khushi..Khushi r u alright?” making me stand again.
I was crying…for mistrusting him..the man who sold his home for me..for a lier..who tested hiss love… I felt like a criminal who did a crime to not to trust a boy who cared nothing beside my happiness
.
“why did u sell ur house damn it?” I asked him shaking him with all my might holding his collar.
“i…I am sorry…Khushi. When I came to know u had left only 16 hours with u…I wanted to cry..cry out for my fate..but then thought I’ll cry but after spending these last hours with u…I love you Khushi..nothing matters me more. I wanted to make u feel special..which u indeed are for me..i wanted u to live thse moments at their fullest. I wanted to make u happy…n see u even forget that these..ar..e u.r. la…st …hou..rs..” ” He said crying out n choking on saying last words.
The shopping bags fell down from my nerve less fingers…
“forgive me Arnav..please forgive me for god sake. I’ll bear any punishment u intend to give me..but plz forgive me…!” I cried out.
 
“for what…Khushi what happened?” he asked.
“I am ur culprit Arnav..i have lied u..i ..i have nothing..i am perfectly fine..i even don’t have cancer..i just lied u..to ..to test ur love for me…forgive me Arnav..please..” I said n felled on his feet n cried out.
After few minutes Arnav bend down n helpedme to stand n said… “Khushi…”
“I am..sorry..i know Arnav u love me very much..even I do..it …You are too good to be true... I...I can't undo anything I have already done, but I am prepared to face it that Arnav…every punishment u give..i am ready for that... I don't deserve you, and yes, I won't survive without you...I..."
“shh..” he silenced me with placing his index finger on my lips…
“Khushi..you..you are really not going to leave me na?” he asked..i thought it was the silence before the hurricane…I just nodded in affirmative n next moment found myself in his arms..he picked me n twirled me round n round till he got sweaty… “ohh my god..Khushi…u don’t know how happy I am…I love u..i love u so much” he said n kept me down.
“aren’t you angry with me?” I asked after gaining my breath.
“no…how can I be angry over you..? yes I felt sad that you lied..but tell me Khushi..why should I be sad n angry over u when my life my love is standing in front of me? That to fit and fine.” He said with moist eyes.
I was overwhelmed…I couldn’t believe him..he was crying not for I lied him but for gaining me back..he was sad not for I tested  his love…I felt to slap myself..how could I not trust him? My Arnav…he was mine..is mine n will forever remain mine…!
Arnav asked with terror of losing me….“Khushi promise me..u’ll never leave me or play such prank over me…I’ll die if…”  I placed a finger on his lips n motioned him to be quit.
“no Arnav..i’ll never leave u…promise.” I said n hugged him as tightly as I can.
The sun was setting…evident to wash away all sorrows in our life. I smiled at Arnav who was looking at me keenly. He looked at me n took a pause n leaned..we kissed each other taking away our sorrow which would be replaced by infinite love n happiness in upcoming future of our life. The setting sun was witness of our pure love and blind trust we had on each other.
Next day Arnav got the trophy…we both were together n that time I came to la n said…see lavanya Arnav loves me this much that the stupid test to can’t do anything. I felt la was different…that time she confessed me..it was her plan to seprate us…I was feeling dizzy but Arnav held me. He was angry over lavanya but I forgived her saying… “dosti me chalta hai…”
Arnav “Khushi..what was for that?” he asked when we bid bye to lavanya.
“Arnav she loved u…its ok…she’ll get someone good someday” I said.
“u know Khushi..u r one and only one piece. Which ur devi maiyya created.” Arnav said n I pecked his cheek n said… “I know Mr. crazy Raizada” I said.
We then headed to home. Its five years to this incident. Arnav is known as the great business tycoonARNAV SINGH RAIZADA. The youngest business man in top 5 ranking. I am proud of my husband..who love me more than anything.
Now we are happy…living with khala n our two months old baby Atharv who is now apple of our eye n has completed our small cute family.
