Chapter 33 - Refreshing the Memory
As soon as Khushi woke up she realized that the loud sound was non other than the thundering sound from outside. She ran towards the balcony, and that's when she realized it was raining heavily. The sky was filled with lightening bolts, as if the god of rain was angry with the humans for something. She came back in and checked the time. It was nearly 6.00pm and Arnav had not yet returned. She was a bit worried, as he left five hours before. So Khushi thought of trying to call Arnav. Although the phone was ringing, no one answered. She tried at least for five times, and finally threw the phone in anger, towards the bed. She was about to go to the reception to inquire about him, but stopped midway when she heard the door open.
Because Khushi was with mixed emotions of anger and worry at the moment, she started to spit out words angrily without a second thought.
"Why on earth didn't you answer the damn phone Arnav? I was worried".
Arnav was taken in by surprise, when Khushi started to roll fire balls towards him. He didn't know why she was acting so uptight suddenly, but he couldn't stop himself from being irritated by her irrational behaviour as well.
"I was in a meeting, remember? And the phone was on silent mode. Just when I was walking towards the room only you called", Arnav said, firmly.
"Whatever. We should go back now. It's already 6.30pm", Khushi said, as the only thing she wanted to do right now was go back as soon as possible.
"Yeah, about that", Arnav said in a nervous tone and paused. Then after taking a deep breath he continued. "There has been a land slide on our route. So the road is blocked. And they can't do anything about that right now, as it is heavily raining outside. So I think we will have to spend the night here".
"What? You gotta be kidding me? I was thinking finally the worst part of the day was over, and here you are saying a far more worse news right now. This was all your fault, you know?", Khushi said angrily, as she was fuming from inside.
"Wow, now I'm responsible for this rain as well? Jeez, give me a break. What the hell is wrong with you dammit? Whatever. The clients asked us to stay tonight, and they have invited us for dinner. If you want, you can join us. I don't care if you want to or you don't. I'm going downstairs. Here is something for you to wear, in case you think of joining us. Also I informed both our families about the situation so you don't have to worry about that", Arnav went on saying what he had to say without any pauses, as he was trying very hard to control his anger that was burning him from inside.
After Arnav left, Khushi slowly took the box that was thrown on the bed and walked towards the bathroom. To speak frankly, she was feeling as if she would suffocate if she stayed in the room for another single minute, and at the same time she was hungry. So she thought of joining Arnav downstairs, although they were not on friendly grounds right now.
After having a shower, Khushi was feeling much more refreshed. She opened the box that Arnav had given her, and she was surprised to see what was inside. It was a one shoulder passion coloured short lace dress(http://web235.revolveclothing.com/images/p/n/z/BOUL-WD60_V1.jpg). To say it was beautiful would be an understatement. It was magnificent. She dressed quickly and looked herself from the mirror. She realized the dress was perfect for her. It seemed as if it was made especially for her. The dress touched her curves perfectly. At that moment a sudden thought struck her mind. She figured that it was wrong of her to come down hard on Arnav earlier. It was true that she was upset for him lying and acting without thinking, but at the end of the day all he wanted was to spend sometime with her. So she thought that the first thing she would do as soon as she met him was to apologize for being hard on him.
After about spending half an hour in the bathroom, Khushi finally stepped outside opening the bathroom door. She lifted her downcast eyes and was astonished by the sight in front of her. The whole room was dark and the curtains were drawn. The room was illuminated only by three candles that were used as decorating the small table in the lounge area of the room. As she moved forward, she saw Arnav as handsome as ever in his three-piece suit and the glow from the candles made him look like a knight in the shining armor in a dark lonely place. Khushi felt her eyes well with tears, but these were tears of joy. She slowly took few steps forward and finally she was standing in front of Arnav.
"I'm sorry", Khushi said in an innocent, soft tone.
Arnav was lost in her beauty. He felt as he was the luckiest person in the whole world, because he had the most beautiful angel in front of him right now. Her long black hair was left open and it seemed like a flowing waterfall. The colour of her dress gifted by him was quite contrasting with her skin colour, that she appeared to glow more in the candlelight. Although the room was darkened, it seemed as if the whole room was radiant due to the aura around this stunning girl. Finally when Khushi came and stood in front of him, he saw the tears that were impatient to roll down her soft cheeks. And if there was one thing Arnav hated to see on his angel's face, they were tears. He cupped her face with one hand and wiped away a tear that was about to roll down her face.
"Forget everything that happened Khushi. I'm sorry for lying to you. I just wanted to spend this special day with you", Arnav said thoughtfully.
"It's alright Arnav, I can understand. And I'm really sorry for acting like a maniac. But what's so special about today?", Khushi asked, because she was clueless as to why Arnav was acting in this way.
"You actually don't remember do you?", Arnav asked, with a lopsided smile.
Khushi was now feeling a little embarrassed as he made her realize that she had forgotten something, and to top it all she didn't know what it was. She nodded her head slowly, indicating a "no".
"It's been one month since we both confessed our love for each other. So happy one month anniversary", Arnav said while handing over a single red rose.
Khushi was now feeling guilty and she didn't know what to say.
"Oh my god Arnav! I really forgot. How can I forget such a special day. I'm really sorry", Khushi said, as she was feeling really upset.
"Hey, hey. It's alright. Here, first take my token of love and stop feeling guilty and upset. Anybody in this world is bound to forget, and that is human nature", Arnav said, while placing the rose in her hand with a wonderful smile on his face.
Khushi took the rose and looked at the man in her life. She realized how unique and special he was. She could read the love towards her from his molten brown eyes, and the love was as deep as the deep blue water of the ocean. She stood in her toes and placed sweet kisses on both his cheeks and whispered, "Happy one month anniversary to you too".
Both of them were silent for few seconds, absorbing the essence of their romantic surrounding. Then Arnav broke the silence.
"Okay, so now that you are in a good mood. Shall we continue?", Arnav asked with a smirk.
"Sure. What else is there in your surprise list?", Khushi asked with her childish chuckle.
"Next we will have dinner. I'm really hungry. And I'm sure you are too. Come on", Arnav said, while leading Khushi to her chair. Both of them sat down and Arnav opened the dishes revealing their meal. It was pasta.
"Well, since all the gifts are for you and as I knew that you had clearly forgotten this special day, this is my treat to myself. And as far as I know you love Italian food as well", Arnav said with a grin.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm a fan of any kind of food. So I guess this is a treat for me too", Khushi said. Both of them laughed and enjoyed their pasta. It was simply delicious.
After enjoying the wonderful meal, Arnav placed a chocolate cake with strawberries (http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/324901/324901,1279365389,1/stock-photo-chocolate-cake-with-strawberries-57292570.jpg) in front of Khushi. The cake was really tempting. Although their tummies were full, both of them couldn't resist the urge within them to taste the cake. After cutting a piece, Arnav brought it near her mouth and said, "My jalebi girl, I know you love to eat jalebi more than you love to eat this cake. But under the circumstances, I couldn't find jalebi. So you will have to accept this".
Khushi smiled and had a bite. Then she took the piece of cake from him and was about to feed him, when she suddenly realized that he was a diabetic.
"Arnav, you can't eat this", Khushi said, while pouting her lips.
"It's a special occasion Khushi and one bite won't kill me", Arnav said, while making her giving him a bite from the cake.
Then both of them enjoyed a movie that was going on the TV, while Khushi went on digging into the mouthwatering cake. As Arnav couldn't eat the cake, he finished all the strawberries after leaving two for Khushi. At the end of the movie both of them felt tired, especially Arnav. Khushi went towards the bed and was about to lie down, when Arnav stopped her by holding her hand. She gave him a questioning look, asking as to why he stopped her.
"Close your eyes", Arnav said, in his husky tone.
Arnav took out a red heart shaped velvet box and opened it. "You can open your eyes now", he said.
Khushi opened her eyes and her gaze stopped at the jewellery set that was shining due to the candle light.
"Wow Arnav, this set is stunning. But don't you think you have given enough surprises for the whole day?", Khush asked, as she felt that his gifts were too much to handle.
Without answering Arnav went towards the bedside table and switched on the lamp. The room was now dimly lighted and Khushi was admiring the gift that was on her hand right now.
Arnav came back and stood in front of her.
"Seriously Arnav, you have showered me with enough love for the whole day. You don't need to give all these gifts to say how much you love me. I can clearly see it in your eyes", Khushi said, in her soft, melodious tone full of love.
"I know that you can see clearly my love towards you. But these are not to show how much I love you, these are to show you how special you are to me. I know these expensive stuff holds no importance in your life. But once in a while, every person should be reminded how special that person is to another person. And you are even more special among the special people I have met. Therefore you deserve all these gifts for what you have given to me. But remember, these gifts can't say how grateful or how happy I am to have you in my life. This is the least I could do to make you feel special", Arnav said, while pouring out his heart to the love of his life.
Khushi's heart was overwhelmed with joy after she heard Arnav's words. But she was still feeling guilty for not remembering their special day.
"But Arnav, I didn't give you anything and I don't feel good about it", Khushi said, in a low tone.
"Well, as I said before you don't need to give anything to me. But since you are whining about it, I will tell what I want from you. Just promise me that you will always be with me in every step I take until the day I breath my last breath. I don't care whether you are angry, sad or happy with me, just stand by me and hold my hand forever", Arnav said, as he wanted her to be with him through out his lifetime.
"I promise", Khushi said, with her wonderful, sweet smile.
"So will you please let me do the honour of adorning your ears, neck and wrist with these gifts?", Arnav asked, with a slight smile.
(Slightly mature)
Khushi nodded agreeing to his wish. Arnav first took the silver diamond earring and adorned her ears. Then he nibbled both her ears, sending a sudden thrill along her spine. Next he turned Khushi around making her back face him and made her wear the silver necklace with the matching silver diamond pendant (http://www.warrenjames.co.uk/_assets/images/products/large/SETS019.jpg), while placing a soft kiss on her nape. Khushi gasped at the sudden touch of his lips on her soft skin. Arnav slowly turned Khushi around to face him again. He leaned his head towards her, and placed a kiss on the heart shaped pendant, while brushing his lips again against her skin. Khushi's heart rate was now at the maximum level, after the gradual increasing all this time. Finally Arnav took the heart shaped diamond bracelet(http://styleslooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Heart-Shape-Diamond-Bracelets.jpg) and slipped it through Khushi's fragile hand. The piece was adding more beauty to her fair skin. He lifted her hand and placed another sweet kiss on the wrist wear her bracelet was placed. Then Arnav couldn't resist his urge to place sweet kisses along her bear skin. After all he was a man with desires, and the night was still young. Starting from her fingers, he continued to place butterfly kisses along her hands. While continuing with his sweet torture, unknowingly both finally ended up on the bed. Arnav pinned Khushi under him and started to trail his kisses along her bear shoulder and the collarbone. Khushi felt as if her heart would pop out from the chest cavity, as Arnav was creating havoc in her body in every possible way. Khushi moaned his name, and Arnav bit her neck and licked her there. This was her first hickey, and their first mark towards the passionate nights to come in the future. Arnav was all lost in the pleasure he was getting from his angel, while Khushi took advantage by freeing her hands. She grasped from Arnav's hair and lifted Arnav's head towards hers. Then finally she brushed her lips on his, and started to kiss him passionately. Both of them were enjoying their kiss, while Khushi suddenly bit Arnav's lower lip while gaining access to his mouth. Both their tongues danced to their own musical notes and explored every corner. Arnav felt as he was the butterfly, who was being intoxicated by her sweet nectar. He was feeling dizzy with pleasure, but suddenly was shocked at Khushi's change of position.
Khushi had now pinned Arnav under her, and was continuing their passionate encounter. Khushi didn't know what came over her, but she had lost control due to the temptation she got while touching him. While placing soft kisses along Arnav's jaw line she continued the trail up to his neck. But suddenly she felt uncomfortable due to the barrier of clothes that had become an obstacle for her journey. She looked up with a little anger, and Arnav did not miss this expression on her face. She quickly unbuttoned his waistcoat and the shirt respectively. With a sigh of relief, she started to torture him again with her innocent kisses and torturous but sugar coated bites and licks on his chest. Arnav couldn't believe himself whether this was the innocent angel he had seen few minutes before as Khushi was quite the seductress right now. He smacked himself for this thought and allowed Khushi to continue without any interruption. After sometime Arnav felt Khushi trying to unbutton his trouser, and that's when he realized that it was time for them to stop.
"No Khushi", Arnav said softly.
Khushi was surprised when Arnav stopped her from continuing. She felt a little worried, as she thought may be Arnav didn't enjoy their encounter as much as she did.
Arnav made Khushi rest her chin on his chest and Khushi was staring at him with her hazel eyes. He realized she was worried, thinking that she was not up to his expectations.
"Hey, it's not that I didn't enjoy it. I really would love to enjoy your sweet torture until we reach the climax. But today is not the day", Arnav said, while caressing Khushi's cheeks with his thumb.
"But why Arnav? I want to. I know that it's not right, but I love you and I trust you. And that's all that matters", Khushi said in a soft tone.
"Come here", Arnav said. Khushi made herself comfortable beside him and nestled her small head near the crook of his neck. Arnav snaked his arm around her shoulders and held her hand from his other hand.
"I know that you believe in my love and that you trust me. It's not about love or trust. This is about my respect towards you. Even I need you, and you have got no idea how much I'm trying to control myself right now. But the virginity is the most important thing for a girl. And I'm sure if my mom was alive she wouldn't spare me if I consummated before marriage. So baby, I want you to wait until our honeymoon. Can you do that?", Arnav explained and asked lovingly, looking straight into her eyes.
"I can. And thanks Arnav. If my mom and dad were alive today, they would be proud to call you their son-in-law" Khushi said, with a smile on her face.
"What about you?", Arnav asked, while raising one eye brow with his signature smirk on his face.
"Words aren't enough to say how grateful I am to the gods, for making me fall in love with you. I never thought I would ever get a chance of being loved. But here I am today, being loved by the most amazing man on earth. To tell you the truth, you are my life now and my heart beats for you. I can never imagine a life without you anymore. I love you Arnav", Khushi said, pouring out her heart to the person responsible for her existence.
"I love you too baby", Arnav said lovingly, while placing another kiss on her forehead. Finally they drifted off together to a magical world in their dreams, while sleep took over their fatigued bodies. Both of them slept peacefully in each others arms, while Khushi cuddled more towards Arnav seeking the warmth of his body in this cold rainy night.
Once Khushi reaches home, there will be a surprise for her. What would be the surprise?
