"Khushi... I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" Arnav asked noticing her lost in her thought as he came and sat beside her on the chair.

"No... No Arnavji. I was just-" Khushi answered nervously

"You sure You're Okay Khushi?" Arnav asked concerned seeing her all nervous

"I'm fine" She answered

"Why aren't you with the rest of them...?? It's your sister's big day" Arnav asked

"I am not a big fan of gatherings... Marriage functions have never been my forte. I just wanted to be alone for a while" Khushi said weakly

"Its Okay... I'm no fan either. I can understand" Arnav said softly

"Jiji says... I wasn't like that earlier" Khushi said

"No... You weren't." Arnav said absently

"She said I used to enjoy marriages" She said

Arnav smiled

"I don't know Arnav... Its like I'm not me. I just don't know why I'm scared" Khushi said

Arnav held her hand comfortingly.

"Its Okay Khushi" He whispered to her

"I never open up much to people... I don't know what to say to them... About myself. I never find the right words. To convey what I feel..." Khushi said

"You can tell me anything. I'm there to listen" Arnav said

"Sometimes... I just wish someone hugs me tightly... Caressing my hair. Kissing my forehead. I just wish I have someone who's there whenever I need to confide. I wish... That I could ask anyone what is there that I'm missing... Someone who'll tell me what that dream meant..." Khushi said

Arnav held her in a tight hug. Stroking her hair softly "Happy?" He asked

She snuggled into him "Just a few more minutes... Please?" She said

"All my life if you want me to. I'm always there" Arnav assured softly while tightening his hold on her

"You know Arnavji... There was an emptiness for years... And I was not sure how to help myself, But now in this moment, I feel strangely complete. The moment I met you in Sheesh Mahal... That moment was one of the most precious moments of my life. I don't know why... I can't.. I can't explain... " Khushi said

"I know... Khushi I know" Arnav said softly kissing her hair

"Khushi, I love you" Arnav confessed

Khushi was not shocked. It was as if he was supposed to say that for a long time. Like this is exactly what was supposed to be happening. And all she did was close her eyes snuggling more and more into him

"Why does it not surprise me Arnavji? Why isn't this... Surprising? You saying I love you" Khushi asked innocently

"Maybe because you know it... You know me. You know I love you... That it was just a matter of time till I finally accepted it." Arnav answered

"We've met just a few months back" She said

"Hmm" He said while thinking how wrong she was. They were bound to each other for more than just a few months

"Then why does it feel like I know you for ages? Why did I feel like I truly completed my fast of Karwachauth after years... When you made me drink water. Do you know why Arnavji?" Khushi asked

Arnav smiled remembering the day, When he broke her Karwachauth fast by making her drink water

"I know... Maybe I do know" Arnav said
