A few days later was the wedding of their client. Khushi was getting ready.
She applied her lipstick wore her earrings. She was wearing a cute nosering which enhanced her look.
Her phone rang indicating a call from Lakshay.
"Haan bolo... Office ke paas mil jaayenge waha se saath chalenge...okay."
(Yes... let's meet near office we'll go together from there..okay.)
She went out of her room towards Adi's room. She was about to knock when the door opened and he stepped out making her step back.
He was folding the sleeves of his kurta looking hot as hell.
His eyes raked down her body and finally landed on her face. She looked down and mumbled.
"Umm- let's go."
She said and turned around but he pulled her back. His hands on her bare waist and her hands on his chest above his heart.
Her heartbeat fastened and she looked into his eyes.
"Can you stop being awkward? I don't want us to be awkward. Please!"
He whispered leaning near her ear and she clutched his kurta and her breath hitched.
"Please!"
She nodded gulping and he smirked. If she is not going to confess then he is going to make her. He knew he was playing dirty but he knew her. She won't do something unless triggered.
"I love you."
He whispered in her ear and kissed the corner of her mouth and she felt like her heart jumped inside her chest. She felt her legs wobble and was thankful for him holding her.
He rested his forehead over hers.
"Oh my God! Are you guys official!"
They heard two over excited voices. Samaira and Nyra.
"Shut up!"
Adi asked them to lower their voices.
"Agar yaha ki baat bahar gyi toh chhodunga nhi mai tum dono ko. Bhaago yaha se."
(If this things goes out i won't leave you both. Go now.)
They pouted and went away giggling. He looked at Khushi and saw her still looking conflicted. He intertwined their hands and went out.
They drove in silence until Lakshay joined them.
"Hello gorgeous. You look beautiful my beautiful."
Adi groaned and asked.
"Teri koi girlfriend hai?"
(Do you have a girlfriend?)
"Nhi toh."
(No.)
"Toh bna le. Aur uske saath flirt kr."
(Then get one. And flirt with her.)
Khushi and Lakshay burst out laughing at his expressions. Adi looked at her laughing and his lips curled into a smile.
He started the car and they drove off.
**************************************
They were sitting tired. The wedding was finally done. Adi was talking to the bride's father while Khushi and Lakshay sat on the sofa a little away.
"You know i had a best friend just like you. We were inseparable. I loved her. Par kabhi bata nhi saka. Himmat nhi hui. Jab tak himmat jutai tab tak she was getting married. And i lost her."
(I could not tell her. Didn't have the courage. When i got some courage she was getting married.)
Lakshay said suddenly gaining her attention. He was looking into oblivion. She didn't know how to react.
"I still love her. But now her one year old son calls me mama."
He chuckled humourlessly. He then looked at her and said looking into her eyes.
"I did a mistake Khushi. You don't do it. I couldn't confess my love when i had the chance. Don't lose the chance Khushi. Kyunki apne pyaar ko kisi aur ke saath dekhna maut se kam nhi hai. Bhut himmat chahiye."
(Becaue seeing your love with someone else is not less than death. It requires a lot of courage.)
Khushi looked at him shocked. Her eyes went towards Adi who was smiling at something. He looked at her for a brief moment and smiled widely. She smiled back faintly.
**************************************
Khushi lay on her bed thinking about what Lakshay had said. She didn't notice the door and him enter in.
He plopped down next to her and placed a loud kiss on her cheek making her gasp.
"Tujhe nhi lagta tu kuch jyada hi touchy ho rha hai kuch time se."
(Don't you think you are getting a little too touchy since some time.)
He smirked and pulled her close.
"Pehle pata nhi tha na ki tu bhi mujhse pyaar krti hai. Ab mai nhi chhodne wala tujhe."
(I didn't know before that you loved me too. Now i am not going to leave you.)
He said as he traced her cheek with his nose. He started leaning in. She pushed his chest lightly.
"Adi!"
He kissed her head and laid back. His eyes went to her guitar and he again turned to her.
"Kuch play kar na."
(Play something.)
"Kya?"
(What?)
"Jo tera mann kre."
(Whatever you wish.)
She got off the bed and took her guitar. She settled on a chair near him and positioned the guitar.
She started strumming the strings softly and hummed lightly. The spent the night playing guitar and listening to songs.
**************************************
A few weeks had passed. Khushi had thought a lot about everything and she realised that she would never be able to see Adi with someone else. And she definitely didn't want to be called his children's bua.
She cringed at the thought.
Today they were going for an outing at a resort. Just the cousins.
They met directly at the resort. Reyansh, Ahana and Arnav were already there. The cousins reached in their cars.
They got their luggage in their rooms.
The spent the day enjoying the activities of the resort. At night they gathered around the bonfire.
They were playing cushion passing game. They rotated a cushion among themselves and when the music stops they stop the cushion and whoever it lands on would have to do something everyone gives them.
The cushion first landed on Ahana. She pouted and said.
"I'm pregnant. I am not going first."
Everyone chuckled at her logic but did not say anything because of her mood swings. The game went on. The cushion landed on Khushi and everyone cheered for her to sing a song.
"But i don't sing. Mai guitar ke saath bas thoda sa humming kr leti hu."
(I just hum a little with guitar.)
"No problem. We have that too."
Kiaan said and ran to get a guitar.
"Ye kaha se mila?"
(Where did you get this?)
"Staff se organise krwaya tha."
(I asked the staff.)
She positioned the guitar and thought of a song.
'Isse achha mauka nhi milega. Keh de apne dil ki baat.'
She looked at him directly into the eyes. He was smiling softly at her.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A smile formed on her face. She looked at him with a smile and started singing. ************************************** Please do leave your comments.
