 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.
