Arshi FF: The Contract

Part 29

Khushi was looking at him flabbergasted. It felt as if he was reading her mind. Wasn't it the same situation? She was madly in love with this person here who has changed a lot more than her expectations and yet here after all those changes she loved him.

Arnav looks at her to find her mouth open. "Hey what happened? You look shocked."He questions.

"No I was just thinking, uhh our thoughts match so much, I believe same." She said.

"Khushi, can I ask you something?" He said.

"Yeah, sure" she said.

"You told me that there were many guys who used to flirt with you. I suppose some might have proposed you too? Then why never in a relationship with anyone or you were in a relationship and it's just that I am not aware of it." He questions.

"Well, Arnav I had no past relationships, ya some of the guys in my college did propose me but they were not the kind of person I was looking for." She tells him.

"What kind of guy you want?" He asked.

"I want someone who would understand me, sort me when I am tangled in the web of my thoughts. Who would know to respect me. Have fun with me. Adore even my imperfections and help me rise above my doubts." She said.

He gave her a serious look. She looks at him for a minute and says "Might be too much to ask for from a same guy but I believe that I want a guy like that for me." She said.

"No, I don't think it is too much but I am unsure if a such a person can be there who would understand you so well. You are kind of a closed book. You know, you speak a lot, you are kind of very intelligent but yet whenever I talk to you I feel like there is always something new I discover about you, your ambition, your dream, the way you speak, your thoughts. It feels like you are hiding something. Seriously, sometimes I feel like a person need more than one life to know inside and out of Ms Khushi Gupta...Well oops as of now, Mrs Arnav Raizada" he said.

"Mrs Khushi Arnav Raizada, that sounds better" she said and took a pause."Uhh, AS OF NOW" she said it slowly and focusing each and every word.

This as of now from her mouth didn't just sounded rude to him but it did also made him feel Sad. Looks like this was that integral part of his life that he was gonna miss a lot.

"Hey! Look there Arnav," she said excited.

"What?" He looked in the direction she was pointing.

"Wow, it sounds so cool, deep sea diving you know, I always have dreamt of Under water diving, that peace,that closeness to nature"the glint in her eyes wasn't unnoticed by Arnav.

"So have you done it then?" He questioned.

"No I haven't ever, but that's in my bucket list" she said.

They kept talking and talking and didn't even realise when it was already night. They both got up and went to restaurant and had food. The day went quite well without any fights.

Next day early morning

"Khushi?" Arnav comes in her room and wakes her up.

"What happened Arnav?" She got up trying to arjust with the room light it was early morning. She saw the time and was concerned if everything was fine. "Hey what happened? Why did you woke me up so early? Is Uncle Aunty fine?"

"Yeah they are fine" Arnav said.

"Then Maa Baba?" She asked

"They are good too Khushi. Listen..."
