Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

12. Gravity...

Arnav's emotions have been on a journey of its own within. He wasn't just going through an emotional roller-coaster within. Not even a thunderstorm or a chaotic whirlpool/vortex. He was technically, spiralling in an emotional rocket that had just lost it's ways – in the mysteries of the galaxies.The only difference, being that the mysteries of the galaxies in context was that of the mysteries of his heart and its deep feelings for Khushi – obviously.

He pauses in his thought as he hears Meera say back at that immediately with another chuckle, after observing on his thoughtful face – " uh-oh, look at that, how can I not chuckle???????also, what did you just say? So you mean, Aman's become just my husband in context now haan????"

Arnav groans and admits- "well, kind off, yes, since the two of you obviously find this bit off me..in the moment, quite amusing...," he pauses to add with a gesture to his expressive face at the moment, and he continues- " like Aman's just been smiling way in amusement to himself everytime, I'v discussed Khushi since morning. He started with it last night after dinner even though he could see how I was coping through all that I was feeling on the way back. He kept giving me the amused look when I told him – I took a long time to fall asleep, for well, I couldn't stop thinking about Khushi..he couldn't stop giving me the look...when I was eyeing my phone every hour...during...Khushi's expedition underwaters, as if I were expecting to get some text from her outta the blue..."

Meera chuckles at that as she exclaims – " hey...that is funny alright?? I mean, imagine you staring at your phone like a hawak, expecting a magical text from her outta the blue, from under the blues...you know...like..she's under those deep blue waters...which is why I said...outta blue from under the blues...,"and she continues to chuckle.

Arnav groans – "and then ofcourse, your husband wouldn't stop being amused by my restlessness when I finally texted her an hour ago to check if she would be coming...and when she confirmed she would be, he just had to break into a fit of giggles – in the mini hurrah – and my fist pump – jump up from my chair..."

Meera chuckles at that again – " oh c'mon, that was crazy funny, he also did say, you forgot all about getting ready for the concert, for the next five mins out of glee..."

Arnav defends himself – " well, see I am ready now.Aren't I? and bang on time.."

Meera states – " not just bang on time, you are as always your punctual self...,"and she smirks to pull his leg – "and Aman, obviously said that has everything to do with – how you are so excited to perform up on stage – knowing Khushi is in the audience...let me check again...nervous much??? ASR?? How is it feeling? Huh??you will remember the lyrics upstage right? and the sync of practice for parts that you will be singing in collective performances with the rest??????"

Arnav groans – "well, thank you. As if, I wasn't nervous enough, Meera.Your husband's just been on with it till now...and now you'v joined him too...or are perhaps planning to take over??," he finishes with another obvious narrowed look of the eye at Meera.

And that from him, leads to Meera chuckling even more now as she says –" ohhhkayy, ohkaay, sorry brother,but I just can't help it, and it's not at the situation in context or at you but just these expressions up on your face...its adorable yet amusing, and don't you blame us, k? It's been ages we are seeing you now- living emotions such as these in context of Khushi in present and not off the past.We are happy for you. So so happy. C'Mon you know that...ohh, now... stop sulking if you want me to actually answer that bit you asked..."
