8th February--- Propose Day

Throughout the wedding She tried to search for him. her eyes scanned the place for a dark suited prince. But he was nowhere to be found. her heart was beating and jumping faster and faster waiting for him longing to see him and talk to him. She had the roses clasped in her hand she refused to part ways wit hit, Those roses meant the world to her especially because they were given by the one person she loved the most Arnav.

It was time for her to leave the Raizada Mansion and still no sign of him anywhere. She looked onwards sad she really wanted a glimpse of her prince charming. Buaji and the rest of the family were biding every one good bye there was a bit crying with Payal 

Garima: Payalia.... We are so happy today for you and Damadji... Always keep him happy (she said smiling with tears in her eyes)

Payal: Ama babuji I will miss you.. (she said sad)

Buaji: Betitya dont forget us 

Payal hugged her and bid her good bye. She was bidding khushi good bye and they were leaving when suddenly He came down the stairs with is classic smirk and Khsuhi looked on wards her heart skipped a beat as she saw him descend down the stairs. He knew she was waiting to see him. He saw the roses in her hand tightly clench and was happy that she still kept them. As he came down Anjili said 

Anjili: Nk bhai why dont you drop khushiji home 

Nk: Sure why not Di i would love to (he said smiling) But Di will we all fit in one car there is so much stuff that we have to take back to the gupta house

At that same moment Arnav interjected with a smirk and said 

Arnav: So why dont you take Buaji Aunty and Uncle home and take the extra stuff and Khushi and I will come in the other car 

Nani: Thats a great Idea 

Khushi smiled and her heart beat increased with the thought of being alone with him now she could finally talk to him 

They all left to go the Gupta house. Arnav and Khushi in one car and the rest with Nk. As they sat in the car there was absolute and complete silence. Arnav didnt say a word waiting for Khsuhi to talk first and Khushi's heart was thumping she was nervous to talk to him but finally after gathering courage she said in a soft vocie 

Khushi: Arnavji 

Arnav: (straight faced he said) Hmm 

Khushi: Thank you for the flowers

Arnav: (smirked) Your welcome 

Khushi didnt know how to proceed any further she tried to talk in general to him 

Khsuhi: Arnavji I am so happy for jiji and jijaji (she said in a happy voice)

Arnav just kept listening away with a smirk she was adorable with her small talk he knew she was dead nervous and he was enjoying every bit of it. Finally they reached the gupta house and Khushi was irritated with herself for not trying to find out why he gave her the roses. The car halted and she was about to leave when suddenly he stopped her held her hand she looked back. The wind blew into the car tickling Khushi's skin she looked up into his dark orbs and then he said in his sexy husky voice 

Arnav: Khushi.... Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow 

Khushi: (heart jumped in joy... she paused stayed quite and then said in a soft voice) Sure Arnavji 

Arnav: (smirking he said) Great I shall pick you up by 9 tomorrow....(he paused and then said) and Khushi can you please where that red salwar you look beautiful in that 

Khushi  blushed furiously at his statement and then she nodded and left the car. Arnav smirked Khushi stood back waving good bye and then he left from there 

The next day came soon.Both the lovers could not sleep that night the feeling was warm and tender and it was magical beyond level. Khushi placed the flowers in a vase near her bed side. She was at peace that night. Arnav on the other hand felt victory and happiness he trumped Nk he asked Khushi on a date before he could. Arnav was just glad that she said yes to him. he just hoped tomorrow went as per the plan

Finally it was time for the date. Arnav slipped on his white shirt and jeans sprayed some after shave and combed his hari it was around 8 pm. Khushi also wore her red anarkali the one that her Arnavji loved. She put on some light make up and the bangles that he baught her. Khushi was nervous she had never been on a date before she prayed to Devi maya that all went well. 

It was now around 9 pm Arnav stood outside the gupta house, he honked the car and she came out saying by to buaji and all she slowly came towards the car. Arnav lifted his eyes to see his princess dressed in his favorite color. She smiled at him. he got off the car and then came to her and opened the door. Khushi thought that he looked so handsome and so good looking. She got into the car and then they headed off to a small cottage. As they got off the car Arnav led her to the garden of the cottage where there was a candle lit table. Khushi saw the place was lit up with fairy light all over she smiled and said 

Khushi: Arnavji this is so beautiful (she smiled) 

Arnav: I am glad you like it (he said in his husky voice) Khushi you remember that Diwali when you were covered in fair lights

Khsuhi: (giggled) yes I remember.. I dont know how i got stuck in those lights 

Arnav: (Chuckling back) I do, its you and with you anything is possible

Khushi: (hitting him she yelled) Arnavji 

Arnav: Ok Ok but you looked very cute that day.

Khushi blushed and then he sat her down and sat opposite her. She looked around the garden there was silence, they ate some food and Khushi on Arnav's insistence tried some wine and she loved it 

Arnav: you must be wondering how come all of a sudden all this and i am like this (he came to the point) But i wan to ask you something 

Khushi: What is it Arnavji

Arnav: Why do you think i am doing all this (he looked upon her to see what she was thinking)

Khsuhi: (nervous with the answer she said) i dont know Arnavji I have no idea (he heart jumping up and down)

Arnav: Ask your heart Khushi (he came and sat next to her and placed his hand on her heart and asked her again) give me an honest answer of what your heart is saying

Khushi: (heart now not stopping the pulse rate increased she said softly she had no idea if it was the wine of her true self but she had to ask him today) my heart wonders why it beats so much when your around (she opened up)

Arnav: (looked upon her and replied back) My heart does the same it beats when your around and it took me a while to understand that it does that only because it beats for you. (he confessed)

Khushi took a deep breath her insides filling with warmth and passion she held his hand tightly and he held hers and Arnav continued

Arnav: You converted me into a man khushi you softened my heart and made me human again and for that i owe it to you (he said in a soft voice)

Khushi: Arnavji

Arnav: (gathering his wit he said) Khushi I love you

Khushi smiled deeply she blushed tremendously her heart began to feel the sweet pain of love the magical feeling. She couldnt hold her feeling so long she had to confess to him and so she did

Khsuhi: Arnavji (she took a deep breath and then said) I..... (he pressed her hand at this point giving her comfort he said) I love you too (she let it all out and a n instant smile on her face)

Both the lovers looked into each others eyes and cherished the feeling of love and togetherness. he pulled her into a warm hug and they chatted for a while. Their date was successful and they had confessed their feelings to one an other. Life couldnt be more magical then ever. But like all good things it was time to end the date. Arnav dropped Khushi home he didnt want to rush things so he held back the kiss today they just wanted to enjoy the feeling.
