FF - Plot twist

Chapter 7 - Hide and Seek

Payal frowned seeing the route they are going.

Payal, "Arnavji, You crossed the road which leads to Airport."

Arnav just smiled at her looking from front mirror.

"Payalji, woh.....woh you have a small sur...surprise on the way." Stuttered Akash shyly to which Payal blushed.

Arnav just rolled his eyes and shook his head lightly. He hoped at least during their honeymoon, his cousin brother and his new little sister would come out of 'Shy Zone' and steps into 'Comfort Zone'. Arnav desperately hoped!

Car halted at Gupta house, taking Payal in surprise. Turning around, she looked at a smiling shyly Akash and smiling slightly Arnav.

"We thought to take you to your family before you leave for honeymoon." Arnav said on behalf of his coy brother. Seeing Payal getting emotional, "Go Payal. Don't get emotional like your sister for everything. *Gesturing her towards the door* we'll come in a minute."

After Payal left, Arnav said, "Akash can I request you something?" he asked Akash snapping him out of his shy marathon.

"Of course bhai." replied a super devoted Akash.

"Please stop being all mousy like that. It's makes me creep...erm, I mean it's kinda weird seeing you like this. Remember, you're a man." Arnav said very lowly.

That request made Akash blush more furiously which made Arnav sad. Very sad and disappointed. Sighing weakly, he pushed a shying Akash inside Gupta house.

After all the pleasantries, hugs, blessings, cheek caresses, Gupta's telling Payal all safety measures, pampering their S-I-L and maybe S-I-L (Arnav), lots of hustle bustle and all, the trio made their way to the car, taking Guptas leave. Suddenly, Khushi was dragged by Payal.

"Khushi why don't you come with us to the airport? Arnavji will drop you off while returning, won't you?" Payal asked, looking at Arnav hoping he would drop her. Poor she, didn't know what was going on between Arnav and Khushi.

"Of course. You don't have to ask." Said Arnav, and thanked Payal inwardly.

No 'NO' was taken. Khushi was pushed inside the car and the quartet started their way to the Airport. Payash sat in the back seat and was totally lost in their shy world where as Khushi became a statue in the front seat, beside a smirking Arnav.

Arnav checked in the mirror. Payash were too immersed in their own world. Good. Changing the gear, he very innocently brushed his fingers against Khushi's clothed thigh. She jerked feeling that and moved away from his arm. She pressed herself against the car door, almost as if her side was plastered to it. Seeing that, Arnav smirked and with a sudden jerk, he turned car to the left which made Payal fall on Akash and Khushi on Arnav. That caused 2 people blush heavily, 1 girl flush furiously and 1 man grin devilishly throughout their journey to the Airport.

*********

Unloading the luggage, Payash and Arshi stood at the entrance.

"Bhai, Khushiji, you both leave. We have to go through the security check, boarding pass and all. We won't get time to talk inside anyway, so it's better to not waste your time." Akash said.

Arnav nodded and hugged Akash. "All the best and please think about what I requested." Arnav whispered, referring to what he asked Akash at Gupta house.
