It had been a long journey of 12 hours and Arnav and Khushi were both exhausted after that.

They were received by some delegates, from the airport and finally headed towards their hotel, where they were to stay for the next seven days.

It was a 7-star hotel named Marriott Royal and the exteriors looked exquisite.

Arnav and Khushi were greeted by the manager as soon as they entered and his assistants showed them the way to their room.

Finally when all was set and done, the assistants left the room to the couple who were quite impressed by the interiors of the hotel, as they were with the exteriors.

*

"So, when is your meeting?" Khushi finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"In an hour.." he replied.

Khushi- Oh! Then you must get ready..

Arnav- Yes, I will..

Khushi was going to unpack the stuff from her bag, when Arnav stopped her.

"What happened?" She asked, perplexed.

Arnav- Don't unpack the stuff..

Khushi(confused)- But... Why?

Arnav didn't answer her. He smiled at her and then went to the washroom to take a shower and quickly came out, dressed in a 3-piece black suit and was applying his perfume standing in front of the mirror, when he noticed khushi's confused and shattered face.

He slowly came forward to her and planted a kiss on her forehead,while Khushi stared at him with perplexed eyes.

.

.

"Be ready for some surprises Mrs. Raizada. You will know it very soon," Arnav whispered into her ear and then rushed out of the room for his meeting.

*

Khushi kept wondering what he meant by that and what was going on in his mind.

After a lot of thinking, she finally took out her favourite pink suit from her bag and finally went to the washroom to get fresh after being tired due to the long journey..

.

.

She came out of the washroom, looking as beautiful as ever, she sat on the bed rubbing her long wet hair with her towel to dry them up.

It had been two hours since Arnav left and he didn't even call her for once.

She was upset and at the same time worried about what was going on..

Missing home, she finally called up Naniji and told her that they had safely reached...

.

.

Time wasn't passing. She was served lunch by the room service, and she ate it fast,being very hungry but just for the sake of eating.

She didn't enjoy the food that much, as all she wanted right now was to be with him.

She thought it was better to take a quick nap, since she was completely dying of boredom and hence, she went to take a nap, only to be disturbed by the knock on the door after 10 minutes.

She saw the assistant standing, through the magic eye, who had accompanied them to their room in the morning.

She finally opened the door and was greeted with a smile by the man, who slowly entered the room and took the two-travelling bags from their room and asked Khushi to follow him.

Khushi got completely confused not even having a bit of idea regarding what was going on..

At the same time she was scared that was this man a trickster?

So being alert, she carefully followed him and was ultimately led to the ground floor,where she came face to face with the manager.

She saw the assistant going out of the hotel with their luggage.

"Thank you for your stay here, ma'am"

The manager said, giving her a smile.

.

.

Khushi (in her mind)- Hey Devi Maiyya! Kaisi jagah hai ye(What kind of place is this?) Zarur Laad Governor ne koi battamizi ki hogi in logo ke sath, isliye hume yaha se bhaga diya!(Definitely,laad governor would have misbehaved with 'em, that is why they are making us leave).

With a worried and apologetic look, Khushi came out of the hotel's main door, just to find Arnav waiting for her, in a Mercedes outside.

She was thrilled to see him there at the same time angry.

She pretended to ignore him and changed her direction, when Arnav accelerated the car and made it stop just an inch away from Khushi, blocking her way to move away.

She tried to move again, turning her face, when Arnav blew the horn of the car so loud that she finally got irritated and shouted on the top of her voice- "KYA HAI?????" (WHAT HAPPENED??)

.

.

"Just get in the car" Arnav said with an evil grin on his face.

"Or else what?" Khushi replied, tormented by that loud horn.

.

.

"Nahi to(or else), I will force you and make you get in the car.." Arnav commented back.

Khushi- You can't..

Arnav- Really? Umm... I think, you know by now that Arnav Singh Raizada can do ANYTHING..

Finishing his sentence, he was just about to undo his seat belt to get out of the car,when he saw Khushi obediently coming forward, opening the passenger door and sitting beside him in the car.

Arnav had a winning smirk on his face.

He enjoyed winning arguments with his wife,always!

"I didn't want the public over here to see a scene create between me and you, that's why I had no choice rather than getting in the car." Khushi claimed.

.

.

"Well, I wouldn't have given you any other choice, anyways," he smirked, making Khushi's temper rise.

Khushi- So what did you do?

Arnav- What do you mean?

Khushi- You know very well what I mean.

Arnav- No, I don't. Kindly elaborate..

Khushi- What did you do, that they threw us out of the hotel?

Arnav- ...What the?!

Khushi- Yeah, yeah. Now I get it. You would have said your "what the?" to 'em, and that is why, vexed by your behaviour, they threw us out.

.

.

"Nobody threw us out. We checked out from the hotel." Arnav replied.

"But why?" Khushi asked,astonished.

"You will know soon." he said.

But Khushi's patience went to some other planet.

She was hell bent on knowing what was going on in her Laad Governor's mind.

She played her ace, and with a puppy dog face asked him-

"Arnav ji, I'm scared.. where are we going?"

.

.

Oh! Arnav so wanted to tell her, but that would ruin his plan and so he didn't fall prey to Khushi's tactics but just asked her one thing..

"Khushi, do you trust me?"

".. Yes," She replied..

"Then, don't be scared.."

He concluded.

*

.

.

Khushi could see the beautiful ocean on either sides of the road and finally saw the streets and the ambience to be completely isolated and silent.

After a long drive of around one hour, Arnav finally stopped the car and got out, opening the passenger door for Khushi.

He then took out his cell phone and swiftly dialed a number and in no time, Khushi saw a person coming from a distance and he unlocked the luggage from their car and paved way for the couple,leading them to a site- Khushi had never even dreamt of.

Surrounded by lush green trees and water everywhere, it was a beautiful resort, so peaceful and silent that even the sound of their breathing was audible.

The only sound that could be heard there was the chirping of the sea gulls, and other birds.

Khushi's face instantly curved into a smile and her heart was elated seeing this scenic beauty, her being a thorough nature lover.

Arnav knew, she liked his surprise, which was evident by the million dollar smile on her face.

Arnav-.. umm... So did you like it?

Khushi(still wearing that smile) - Its beautiful Arnav ji..

Arnav held her from her waist and started walking towards the entrance of the resort.

"But, why did you check out from the hotel Arnav Ji? We could have directly come here or stayed there. You had a long tiring journey, then why did you stress yourself with such a long drive,that too after your meeting?" Khushi asked, her face full of concern for her husband.

.

.

"Because,I wanted our honeymoon to be special. To be away from the city, the noise, the crowd.. I wanted to be in a place where there would be just me and you.." Arnav replied.

"And perhaps, if I told you earlier I would have missed that huge smile on your face that came after being surprised, isn't it?" He added, with his signature smirk on his face.

Arnav's statement made Khushi feel on top of the world.

His genuine concern for her, his love for her. Despite being so tired, he made sure his wife was happy.. She was lucky to have him, she thought to herself.

*

They finally entered their room and it was completely dark.

Khushi clutched Arnav's hands,being scared, when Arnav switched on the lights.

..And she was stunned to see the interior of the room.. under the soothing golden light.

There were rose petals on the huge round white bed.. And it was a big room, with a tall french window facing the beautiful water body outside, just like their own bedroom back in Shantivan.

She noticed, infinite artificial stars hanging in the room,just the way she liked it.

Khushi couldn't stop smiling and at the same time blushing, thinking that he did all this for her..

.

.

"So, did Mrs. Raizada like it?" Arnav asked, looking at her with a loving face.

"...Hmm.." She replied, unable to control her blush.

Arnav slowly came forward and took her lips in his.. and kissed her gently, as if, she was a fragile little girl and he didn't want his strength to hurt her.

Khushi deepened the kiss and claimed him with full force, bringing him close to her, ruffling his hair..

They continued kissing each other, when Arnav slowly withdrew and kissed her on her cheek..

"I will be back in a moment," he said to her.

"But where are you going?" she asked, wryly.

Arnav didn't say anything, and just gave her a smirk and left the room closing the door behind him.

Khushi stood there for a minute,confused.

"This laad governor is doing all unpredictable things from the morning today," she said to herself.

She went to the washroom to get fresh, considering the drive was too long and she didn't even have a proper nap because of the hindrance in the form of that knock by the assistant in the hotel, hours back.

She took several minutes and then came out of the bathroom rubbing her face with a towel, when she noticed a packet on the bed.

She went close to get a better look of it.

.

.

"To, Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada"

She saw the name, it was addressed to.

She instantly opened the packet and took out the thing it contained.

.

.

A beautiful red dress, which was knee length and backless, with white crystals embedded on it.

The combination was quite similar to the red saree that he gifted her, which she wore on the day, they both confessed their love.

Inside, the packet, there was another note, which said-

"Wear the dress and come to the garden side. Don't take too long, Mrs. Raizada."

The note was signed- "Only Yours, Arnav"

Khushi smiled reading the note and blushed at the same time.

But she was also nervous and scared. She hadn't ever donned a western clothing in her entire life. And this outfit? It was far more than western. It was too revealing. Back less , Short...

"Ye laad governor bhi na. Hume bhi apne aap ki tarah besharam samajhte hai(This Laad

Governor, thinks I'm also as shameless as he is)," she muttered to herself.

But deep inside, she knew that she would wear it.. She couldn't refuse to accept that.

"Come on Khushi, he's your husband.. Stop being a coward!" She finally convinced herself and went inside the washroom to change her clothes.

*

Arnav was waiting for her in the garden, looking his best wearing a black Armani shirt and black trousers.

He had made the garden look heavenly with fairy lights all around, making it seem like a dream world which one can't really get to witness in the reality.

He kept looking at the stars when his eyes finally saw his angel coming.

She looked exquisitely gorgeous, in that red dress that he chose for her..

Her long fair legs..

Her thin waist..

That beautiful face.

Arnav thought for a while that he was dreaming..

Khushi couldn't manage to look up at him into his eyes, being so shy.. She finally came forward towards Arnav..

Just three steps away from him..

Arnav couldn't resist this goddess of beauty standing in front of him.. And he bridged the gap between them by just taking two long steps.

Khushi kept looking downwards, trying to hide her shyness but Arnav slowly lifted her face up from her chin and softly held her hand taking her to the dinner table which was arranged in the garden itself..

He took out a chair for khushi and made her sit, while he sat in the opposite chair,keeping his eyes constantly on her,never missing a chance to be dazzled by this beauty.

"You look .. " Arnav paused..

And just that moment itself, Khushi looked at him with eyes full of nervousness.. It was the first time she was wearing such an outfit and she didn't want to look like a fool, that too in front of her husband, for heaven's sake.

"..I look what?" She managed to speak, fear evident in her voice.

.

.

"Khushi... You look... Beautiful... and..."

"And..?" Khushi added..

"And... Sexy..." Arnav replied, smiling at her..

Khushi's lips formed their trademark "O" shape and she was flattered at one point and at the same time, blushing like crazy.

The red dress made her blush even more prominent.

.

.

They were done having their dinner and Arnav slowly got up from his seat and extended his hand towards Khushi..

"So.. Can I have a dance with you..?" He asked her..

Khushi readily agreed getting up from her place and Arnav led her to a place through the garden.

She wondered where was he taking her, considering, her day has been filled with surprises by him, when she finally noticed.. a round shaped shed made of italian marble and the flooring made of the same material and it was guarded by thin white satin curtains, which were flying due to the cold winds.

They both reached the spot and as soon as Khushi stepped on the floor, uncountable dim lights got switched on from no where.

Khushi was shocked to see such a thing happen.

"Arnav Ji?" She called out for him..

"So.. Khushi.. You make light appear in all the dark places.. Just the way you enlightened my life when it was nothing but a dark tunnel," Arnav remarked.

Saying this, he took Khushi's hand and a soothing music started playing..

Khushi wondered where did the music come from, but she didn't bother about it anymore when her husband twirled her, making her dance in the beats of that same music.

He held her waist and pulled her near, so that she was very close to him.. and she kept her hand on his shoulder..

Moving their bodies, in the rhythm of the song, Arnav twirled her many times and every time he did that, her long hair touched his face, making him crave for her even more..

After several minutes, Khushi kept her head on Arnav's chest, at the same time dancing with him..

She could hear his heart racing fast, just like hers..

He slowly kissed her on her neck and said-

"So, Mrs. Raizada.. You tired?"

.

.

"Mmm.." She replied brushing her face against his chest..

And in no time, she was in his arms and he walked with his love in his arms towards their room..

*

He placed Khushi on the bed and sat there, facing her.

She kept staring at him, with eyes filled with desire..

He pulled her close holding her neck and cupped her face and called her for an urgent kiss..

His tongue entered her mouth and the burning desire, and passion was evident in his kiss.

He kept pulling her nearest to him, so that there wasn't any distance between them.. His hands explored her body, while she ruffled his hair, pulling him close,encircling his neck with her hands..

Arnav removed the straps of her dress one by one and let it slid off her, exposing her inners and she unbuttoned his shirt in seconds, to witness her man in his truest form..with toned abs and tanned skin..

Arnav undid her inner, exposing her bossom and buried himself in her chest. Kissing her everywhere possible..while Khushi left a whimper come out of her mouth.

Her nails dug deep inside the skin of the man she loved, possessed and could even die for..

While his kisses promised her a bonding till the end of time..

.

.

They were both complete undressed and couldn't wait to relive their memories of their FIRST NIGHT together..

Arnav kissed her gently on her lips, while he entered her with passion, desire and hunger..

She moaned in pleasure, at the same time kissing him back, giving him, all of herself..

He penetrated deep inside her.. taking both of them away from reality and witnessing a world called

"Ecstasy"..

In that joy ride of life, both Arnav and Khushi succumbed to their desires and gave in to the beautiful feeling called "love" and the sacred institution called "marriage"..

.

.

Arnav lay beside her, both of their breathing still uneven.. He looked at her with eyes, full of love and passion..

He pulled her close to him taking her in his embrace and gently kissing her on her lips..

.

.

"I love you.." He said to her, while making the white quilt cover them both..

"I love you too" She replied, and they both went to sleep, in each other's arm,under the same blanket, which was their small world together, where nothing existed apart from happiness, peace and love, forever...

**

Six days had already passed and tomorrow, they had their flight to go back to delhi and get back to the same routine, of the daily life in a metro.

These six days had been the best days of her life, Khushi thought to herself.

Arnav went for a meeting with his clients, while Khushi was in her room, recalling everything that happened in the past six days..

Their experience of Scuba Diving, where Khushi shouted as if someone stabbed a knife on her body and how Arnav was embarrassed in front of everyone to see his wife shout like a lunatic..

The day when Khushi was craving for eating jalebis, and Arnav had to literally hire a chef who made jalebis for his wife, exclusively..

The day when they went for shopping, and Khushi started bargaining in the mall, making Arnav walk away from there in embarrassment..

..And then, their love making nights..

...Khushi smiled like a teenager, giggling, recalling all these incidents and at the same time blushing.

Then she finally sat on the bed and took her bag and started folding her clothes and keeping them inside the bag, packing for their departure the next day, when she heard a knock on the door.

She went out to open it and saw Arnav standing, dressed up in his formal official attire.

He came inside and she handed him a glass of water.

.

.

He looked at her arranging the clothes and keeping them inside the bag, when he interrogated-

"Erm.. Khushi, What are you doing?"

"Packing clothes, can't you see? You are so lackadaisical, you won;t do any of the work.. Mr. Laad Governor, so I packed your clothes as well..". She stated.

"Alright"

"Unpack them", Arnav said, his words sounding more like an order.

"WHAT?" Khushi shouted, not knowing what he meant.

"But why?" She added.

"You ask too many questions" Arnav sighed.

"But you never give me proper answers" She replied..

.

.

Arnav- Khushi, if you pack all our clothes, then what are we supposed to wear for the next three days?

Arnav gave his signature smirk,saying this.

But Khushi was Khushi. She took more than the required time to grasp things.

"What mean?" She asked, still confused..

Arnav hit her on her head lightly, causing her to make an irritated face and in return, she hit him on his chest.

Arnav came forward and hugged khushi from her back and finally told her-

"I extended our trip Khushi. Instead of 7 days, its of 10 days.."

Khushi was stunned at this declaration made by him and she instantly turned herself to face him.

"What?"

"But Why?" She asked.

Arnav was now furious with Khushi's reaction and with temper in his voice, he said-

"Because, I wanted to romance some beach girls"

Khushi burst into laughter, knowing the reason he extended his trip and came forward to him, attacking his lips with full force.

.

.

She finally broke the kiss and looked at him, innocently..

"I wanted to spend some more time with you, love" He finally confessed.

Khushi buried her face in his chest, as an effort to hide her blush, while he lifted her face up and claimed her lips once again..

And they both were lost in each other.. No one to disturb them.. No one to stop them.. No one

to separate them.. In THEIR world..Arnav and Khushi's world.. ArHi's world..

Now and Forever..
