Fifty Shades of Raizada ~ Part 11

Readers discretion advised. Very explicit content ahead.

 

For the rest of the evening, Khushi stayed in her room, trying to make sense of everything. She flicked through the contract once more, but it was clear. This world of Arnav’s wasn’t for her and she was prepared to leave it and him behind.

Getting out of bad, Khushi decided that she was ready to talk to Arnav and tell him she was out. This wasn’t going to work between them. She walked into the bathroom, had a quick shower and got dressed to go downstairs.

As Khushi made her way downstairs, she realised that the whole apartment was very quiet and also very dark. Carefully, she made her way down the stairs and saw that there was a light on in the kitchen. She followed the light and saw that Arnav was stood in the kitchen, surrounded by dishes of different food.

 

“Are you entertaining tonight?”

 

Arnav turned around to see Khushi looking around the kitchen.

 

“Khushi… Hi. No, I was preparing dinner for us so we could sit and talk.”

“You didn’t need to go to all this effort.”

“I know, but I didn’t like how thins went down between us earlier.”

 

Arnav carried the dishes over to the large dining table on the other side of the kitchen and pulled out a chair for Khushi, gesturing her to come over and sit down. Khushi nodded and made her way over and sat down at the table.

 

“Let me just get the rest of the food.”

 

Arnav went back to get the rest of the food. Khushi examined what he had already put down on the table and couldn’t help but smile a little bit. Did he go through all this effort to cook just for her, to make things right with her? Arnav came back, put all the dishes down and then sat down opposite Khushi.

 

“Please help yourself.”

“This all looks so… It looks amazing! I didn’t know you could cook.”

“One has to learn. I spend so much time alone, I needed to learn to cook. Take out is great, but its not ideal for all the time.”

 

Khushi helped herself to some of the pasta that Arnav had prepared. She took a small bite and her eyes lit up.

 

“This really is amazing.”

“I’m glad you approve. It’s one of the first things I learnt to cook. I lived off this pasta for years.”

 

Laughing, Khushi carried on eating her pasta and got some garlic bread to go alongside it. Arnav too got some food and ate a bit, but he spent most of his time watching Khushi.
They made small talk while enjoying the food, but both were very much aware of the elephant in the room.

Soon dinner was over and Arnav cleared the table and loaded up the dish washer. He came back over to the table and sat down opposite Khushi.

 

“We need to talk.”

“Yes we do.”

“Khushi… I realise that my way of life is a lot for you to take in and I guess you’ve made it clear it’s not something you want to be involved in. Although I want to argue and tell you that we should give it a shot and you should see how it goes, I will respect your decision. But, I can’t let you go.”

“Arnav… We can’t.”

“I know, I know what you said, about how you need commitment and marriage and I know I can’t give you that. But how about we make some kind of arrangement still. We try and make this work for as long as we can, but if you meet someone who is willing to commit to you and who will marry you, then I’ll let you go.”

“We can’t do that.”

“Khushi, I can’t let you go.”

“I don’t want you to, but at the same time we can’t do this. I can’t stay with you, not when I know you have no intention to marry me. If I knew that somewhere down the line we would get married, I would accept and I would stay with you, I would accept the sin, suffer the consequences of our action, but I would remain with you because I know you will make an honest woman of me. But knowing you have no intention, I can’t. I can’t live in sin, I can’t sleep with you and get close to you when I know, ultimately I belong to someone else. That I will have to one day leave you and spend the rest of my life with someone who isn’t you.”

 

This last lines, the one of belonging to someone, else got Arnav mad. He slammed his fist against the table and shoved his chair back and got to his feet. He pulled Khushi out of her chair and pinned her arms around her back.

 

“You belong to me. DON’T YOU DARE say you belong to someone else. You’re MINE.”

 

Khushi struggled against his hold, trying to put distance between them, but he held onto her, holding onto her tighter. He pressed himself into her and took her lips in an aggressive kiss. Khushi resisted to begin with but soon she too began to respond to his kiss with a similar level of fire. He might be mad at her for talking about such a thing, but she too was angry at him for putting her in this position. All she wanted was a simple relationship with love and romance, she didn’t want all this crazy stuff that he was proposing.

Once Arnav realised that she was reciprocating the kiss, he slowed it down. His kiss became less aggressive and he slowly let go of her hands and took hold of her hips, pressing his pelvis into hers. He rocked his hip into hers, imitating a much more intimate action and Khushi moved hers in time with his. His fingers slipped under her kameez and up the sides of her body, resting just below her breasts. Khushi’s hands fumbled with his buttons, taking one off, then the next.

Arnav broke the kiss, his fingers still playing havoc on her skin.

 

“I want you. God dammit Khushi, I need you.”

 

Khushi nodded, she knew in her head she should say no, but her heart was saying yes. Wrapping her arms around his neck, Khushi pulled Arnav back to herself and let her lips meet his. Arnav pulled Khushi’s kameez off of her and threw it aside and clipped off her bra. Hands back on her waist, he lifted her off the ground, never breaking their kiss and placed her down on the table. He made light work of his shirt and pants and let them fall away. Pushing Khushi back onto the table, Arnav pulled away her panties and positioned himself between her legs and pulled her forward. He guided his length into her and Khushi gasped out. Arnav used one hand to hold onto the side of the table, while the other caressed her breast.

It took him a moment to get this rhythm going, but in no time, they were going at it in full speed. Khushi’s moans filled the kitchen and Arnav groaned. Something about her, something about the feel of her around his length turned him on so much more than anything else. He carried on thrusting in her, and Khushi lay back, enjoying the sensations she was feeling.

 

“Ah, Arnav… Mmmm, I… Oh.”

 

He could feel her tightening, she was oh so close, she needed her release as much as he did. But he stopped and withdrew. Khushi’s eyes fluttered open and Arnav pulled her up.

 

“I want to do it from behind.”

“I…”

“Can we?”

“I don’t know…”

“I’ll go slow, I promise.”

 

Khushi was apprehensive about what he was asking of her, but nodded regardless. Arnav turned her around and pinned her face down against the table. He kicked her legs apart slightly and took a fistful of her hair as he slowly guided himself in.

 

“AH.”

“Oh fuck.”

 

He held himself still, realising her body needed to adjust around him. When he thought the time was right, he slowly began to move. Khushi clutched onto the edge of the table and her eyes rolled back. This was so much more intense than anything they had done together before.

 

He started moving faster, pulling on her hair. He smacked her butt.

 

“Look at me.”

 

Khushi turned, her eyes barely open, but she looked at him over her shoulder.

 

“Do you like this?”

“Mmmm.”

“It feels good when I pull your hair doesn’t it?

“Yes.”

“Yes what?”

“Yes sir.”

 

Arnav smirked, feeling content. He pushed her back onto the table, and sped things up. She was close and he needed his release too.

Moments passed and they both reached their climax, Khushi, slumped against the table and Arnav slumped against her. They remained like this for a moment before Arnav gathered Khushi into his arms and made his way upstairs to put her into her bed. He could feel sleep coming his way, so he hurried and put her down.

 

“Stay with me.”

 

Arnav looked at her, so peaceful, so spent, reaching out to him. He should have said no, and he should have walked away, but he didn’t. He came over and lay down next to her, and soon they both fell asleep.

Author’s note:

Now this is a chapter I am very apprehensive about. I have changed it a number of times, where I have taken a certain section of the story out but then have put it in again. I’m not sure how everyone is going to take to the change in the dynamic, however, I would like to say that if you didn’t like, or don’t agree with my choice, then I am sorry. I would appreciate it if I don’t get bombarded with a number of angry comments.

Finally Mine (11/10/2017) Rereleased

Arnav walked into their bedroom and locked the door behind him. There sat on his bed was his newly wedded bride. Khushi had removed her veil and all her heavy jewelry. As Arnav secured the door, she looked up at him and blushed. Slowly making his way to the bed, Arnav took in his beauty in red.

 

“So we’re married.”

“We’re finally married.”

 

Arnav looked at Khushi and he couldn’t help but feel a little bit awkward. This felt a little bit strange, but at the same time it felt so right.

Khushi looked back at him, and never before had she felt so shy.

 

“We’ve come a long way…”

 

Khushi nodded. She couldn’t help but cast her mind back to what felt like a lifetime ago. She and Arnav first met in high school when they were 11. They hadn’t always been friends, but when they did become good friends, they got very close. They had gone to college and their friendship faced many, many hardships. Khushi remembered back to when she first realised she had feelings for Arnav, it had been the summer before they started college. She was still 16 at the time. He had figured out how she felt about him because he knew her so well, but of course, he had dismissed her feelings, told her that their friendship mattered more and that he wanted them to just remain good friends.

Arnav had met Lavanya in college who instantly took his attention. Khushi was left alone, neglected. Arnav was her best friend before anything else and he suddenly didn’t have any time for her. Lavanya was always there between them and so they spent less and less time together.

Lavanya was unaware of Khushi’s feelings for Arnav and Arnav never said anything to let her know about how Khushi felt about him.

Time passed and Arnav and Khushi grew more and more distant. Then they both went off to different universities. Khushi off to a university in London and Arnav one in America. Their lives became busy and complicated and they lost touch.

Some time during their time apart, Arnav and Lavanya had broken up.

When Arnav and Khushi both finished their respective degree programmes and returned home to India, they both became busy with their budding careers and never thought much to try and reconnect with the other. Khushi never forgot about her love for Arnav. In her heart, she still had a space for him and Arnav too never forgot about his old friend.

Then the time came and both their families began to look for a potential life partner for their child and that is where fate brought them together again. Khushi instantly agreed when she realised the groom was to be Arnav. Arnav too agreed upon hearing that Khushi had said yes. He didn’t believe in arranged marriages, but he liked this idea. The idea of being married to a childhood friend, one whom he was so close to and knew so well.

When the wedding talks were happening, Arnav and Khushi took the opportunity to reconnect with each other. Khushi realised then that she was more in love with Arnav than Shen had ever been before, and Arnav too started seeing Khushi in a new way. He liked who she hadn’t become over the years, she was successful and she was confident come not to mention extremely beautiful. She did something to him, she made him want her and he couldn’t wait to marry her. It was then he finally understood that he was falling in love with her.

 

*****

 

“Arnav…”

“I feel like I should apologize for everything that went wrong between us in the past.”

 

Khushi looked up and shook her head.

 

“This is a new start for both of us, you don’t need to apologise. When all that stuff happened, we were kids, we didn’t really know anything. We’re married now, adults, this is what matters. And we’ve spoken about the past, it’s done, we need to focus on our now.”

“In college… You wanted to be with me and I… I was so insensitive towards you. I was with someone else right under your nose and I expected you to be okay with it.”

“That all doesn’t matter any more. I mean it does, it’s our story. But we’re here now. That’s what is important.

 

Khushi moved towards Arnav, moved into him and held onto his arm…

 

“I’ve always wanted you… And now… You’re finally mine.”

 

She moved back slightly, biting her lip. Arnav looked down at her and smiled. Khushi couldn’t help herself, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his. She took hold of his upper arms and Arnav wrapped his arms around Khushi, kissing her back deeply. They pulled away after a while and Khushi blushed.

 

“I’ve loved you since I was 16 Arnav and now…”

“I’m yours forever Khushi.”

 

He leaned into her again to kiss her, but Khushi met him more than half way and took control of the kiss. She held onto his sherwani tightly and kissed him the way she’d dreamed of kissing him forever. All those days, she daydreamed of what it would be like to kiss Arnav. All those nights when she was alone in bed, when she just wondered what it’d feel like to have his masculine body against hers. Now, finally, those dreams would become reality.

They pulled apart slowly and Khushi ran her hand along his stubble.

 

“If only you knew how much I’ve wanted this. If only you knew how much I’ve been praying for this.”

“What kind of a bride are you? Telling me how you basically want to sleep with me. How you’ve been thinking about sleeping with me since we were still kids.”

 

Khushi laughed.

 

“You were once my best friend. I used to tell you everything. Old habits die hard.”

“Am I not still your best friend?”

“Of course you are!”

 

Arnav took hold of Khushi and kissed her, god how had he never kissed her before? How had he ignored her for other girls when she was evidently the girl for him? He broke their kiss. There was something he wanted to ask her.

 

“Have you kissed anyone before?”

 

Khushi looked away and blushed.

 

“No. I’ve always been so in love with you, I couldn’t…”

“What if me and you hadn’t got married?”

“Then whoever I did marry would have been my first kiss.”

“Your first kiss was one you initiated.”

“I waited 10 years for you, I couldn’t wait any more.”

“I think I need to reward you for waiting so long for me.”

“How are you going to do that Raizada?”

 

Arnav pushed Khushi down onto the bed and tried to find the ends of her wedding gown. He brought his lips down to hers. His hands fiddled with her clothes. He needed to touch her. Needed to love her like a man loved a woman, needed to love her like she deserved. But once again their kiss was broken and Khushi pushed his hands off her and sat up.

 

“Khush…”

“Not tonight.”

“Why?”

“You made me wait 10 years for you, I’m going to make you wait 10 nights for me.”

“Hey!”

“Arnav 10 nights is nothing compared to 10 years. I was a teenager with raging hormones. I wanted you, wanted to be your girlfriend, wanted to kiss you, but I couldn’t. It was torture. Now I want you to get a feel of what it’s like.”

“But I’m a man with needs Khush! I may have had other relationships before, but I’ve waited for marriage to make love to someone. How are you going to deprive me of that on our wedding night?”

 

Khushi kissed his cheek and smiled.

 

“I have needs too… But 10 nights…”

“That’s 2 nights into our honeymoon though!”

“We’ll go site seeing and do stuff.”

 

Arnav faked a pout and crossed his arms over his chest. Khushi cupped his face.

 

“I want you to want me, for me. Not just because I’m a woman and because I’m your wife now. I’ve wanted you for so long because I’ve loved you. I understand it’s going to take more than 10 nights for you to fall in love with me, but I want you to try to love me for me. To try and fall in love with me…”

“Khushi? Of course I love you.”

“Not the way I love you…”

 

Khushi looked away and it made sense to him. No matter what she said, she still couldn’t help but doubt his feelings. But it wasn’t her fault. He’d always put other girls before her when they were in college, despite knowing how she felt about him. He’d ignored her, made her feel like he didn’t love her. And at the time he hadn’t loved her, not like that anyway. He’d loved her as a friend, he wanted to protect her whereas she loved him in a more romantic manner. But now… He truly was falling in love with her. The real her…

 

“Khushi… I was a dick to you. I never realised how special you were to me, I never valued you, always put other girls before you. It took me forever to realise it, but you’ve always been special to me, that’s why you’re friendship was still important to me when we were in college. I respect you’re 10 night ultimatum and I will be a good husband and good friend and wait for 10 nights. But on the 10th night, when the night comes Khush, be ready for me. Because I will make love to you all night long, I will make you feel everything I’ve ever felt for you. I will finally make you mine…”

 

*****

 

Ten days passed faster than anyone could have possibly imagined. After all the post wedding rituals at home, Arnav and Khushi left for their honeymoon in the Maldives. As Arnav walked into the master bedroom he remember how when they were in college, they’d both said that when they got married they’d want to go to the Maldives. He smiled to himself, maybe back then, when they were 17, he should have realised all the signs were pointing in the direction to show that they were meant to be together.

The last couple of days, on honeymoon had be relaxing. They’d visited the beach, gone to see films, ate at restaurants, or just lazed around their hotel room. At home, they’d both been busy with the post wedding rituals and stuff and by the time they got to bed they were both tired and just wanted to go to sleep, so they weren’t too bothered that they weren’t able to get intimate.

However, now that they had been on honeymoon for two nights, Arnav was finding it hard to cope. Seeing Khushi come to bed every night in a silky nightdress that did nothing except loosely cover her body. When she moved, he took in ever curve of hers. God she was so womanly and every little move of hers captivated him.

At night, she had a habit of invading his personal space, throwing her limbs across him, touching him in places that drove him wild. And she did all of this whilst sleeping! He dreaded the to think what she’d do to him when she was awake, when they were at the height of passion.

Arnav had respected Khushi’s wished and kept away from her. As much as he wanted to get close to her, he stopped himself, respecting her decisions. But the wait was over for tonight was the night he would express his love for Khushi in both words and actions.

He walked into the bedroom to find that the lights were out but numerous candles were lit. It hadn’t taken Arnav long to realise Khushi had an obsession with candles. Every night she had to have a fair few lit as they were the only way she was able to get to sleep. He looked around, hoping to find Khushi on the sofa, watching tv but she wasn’t, Khushi was already in bed with the duvet tucked tightly around her. Arnav sighed, it seemed as though he wasn’t getting lucky tonight.

Arnav got changed and carefully got into bed, trying not to disturb his slumbering wife. He looked over at her and couldn’t help but smile. He should have always known, it was always Khushi. Even when he was with other people, he was always drawn to Khushi, like a moth to a flame.

Turning his back to her, Arnav got comfortable, ready to go to sleep. He shut his eyes and felt himself starting to drift when he felt a small pair of hands come around him. His eyes snapped open. Arnav turned his head to Khushi who was apparently wide awake, he let her guide him onto his back and she threw the covers off herself.

Arnav’s eyes widened as he took in his Khushi. How had he not noticed this before? Khushi moved on top of Arnav and straddled his hips. Arnav looked up at her. She looked amazing. She was wearing a lacy black bra with matching panties which made her pearly skin look even lighter.

 

“What happened Arnav? Have you forgotten that 10 nights are over tonight? Or are you not interested in me like that,”

“I thought you’d fallen asleep.”

“I’ve been waiting 10 years for this night Raizada.”

 

Khushi leaned over Arnav and took his lips between hers and kissed him passionately. Arnav took hold of Khushi’s midsection and moved her down his body slightly so she was positioned over his hardening manliness. Khushi rubbed her bottom against him, trying to show him that she needed him as much as he needed her. They made out in this manner for a while until Arnav could take it no more. He grabbed hold of her and flipped her onto the bed and moved on top of her. He took hold of her breasts and kissed her neck. Khushi arched up into him, pulling his head further into her neck.

Arnav allowed his hands to explore her body. Her skin was so soft, untouched, all his for him to leave his mark.

 

“God, why did it take me so long…”

“Arnav, sh.”

“It was always meant to be me and you.”

“Listen, apologise by making me yours. I’ve wanted this for so long Arnav.”

 

Arnav unhooked Khushi’s bra and let his eyes fall onto her perfectly round globes. He moved down to a stiff peak and took it between his lips. This caused Khushi to arch back into the bed.

 

“Oh god…”

 

Arnav let his hand drift south and he touched her there.

 

“No! Don’t play with me tonight. Arnav I need you!”

 

Arnav realised, tonight wasn’t the time to tease her, wasn’t the time to play with her. Tonight he needed to make love to her, show her how he felt about her, show her that no matter what had happened in the past, now it was all about her and he needed her more than anything. He’d always needed her.

Arnav pulled Khushi’s panties aside and let his eyes take her in.

 

“You’re so god damn perfect.”

 

He pulled his own underwear away and positioned himself above Khushi’s entrance.

 

“This is going to hurt, but I promise you. This is the last time I’ll ever hurt you. I promise you.”

 

Khushi cupped his face and smiled.

 

“Do it.”

 

In one swift motion, their bodies were one. Khushi gasped and took hold of Arnav as tightly as she could and he held onto her. Slowly they began to move together and Arnav whispered words of love to Khushi.

 

“I’ve got you baby. You’re mine…”

 

With each thrust Khushi began to feel more and more whole and she felt ever so loved. Every word, every sound he was making, it was for her, all her. Finally, they both came apart in each other arms and Arnav held onto Khushi.

He covered them with the covers and he held onto her tightly.

 

“I love you so much.”

“I love you too.”

“Arnav, promise me, this, us, this is what’s going to be forever. Promise me, it’s just me and you.”

“Forever and always.”

“So are you finally mine?”

“I’ve always been yours…”

Author’s Note: 

I hope everyone is doing well. This is just a short note to say that this isn’t a new piece of writing, it’s a VERY VERY old one. It was on my blog before, but I’ve taken the old version down now and replaced it with this. This is one of my favourite OS’ and I wanted to edit it and make it better! So I hope you guys all enjoy it! 

Jalebi ~ Part 11

Inches apart, their breaths were mingling with each other’s, their lips ever so close, so ready to connect. But alas, Arnav’s phone began to ring. Both Arnav and Khushi’s eyes open and they jump apart. Khushi took a step back from Arnav and ran her hand through the hair. This needed to stop, she needed to stop letting herself get caught up in moments like this.

Arnav answered the phone and Khushi looked around. A man came walking towards her and handed her a Polaroid photograph.

 

“I like to take pictures of people there. I hope you don’t think that’s weird. I don’t keep any of the photos I take.”

 

Khushi had a look at the photo. It was of her and Arnav, stood where they are right now, in front of the beautiful waterfall. In the photo, they looked so absorbed in one another, so close to kissing.

 

“Thank you for this.”

“You’re welcome ma’am. I wish you and sir a long and happy marriage.”

 

The man walked away just as Arnav was disconnecting the call.

 

“Who was that?”

 

Khushi showed Arnav the photograph that the man had given her.

 

“That’s a really nice photo.”

 

Khushi nodded and went to put it in her bag.

 

“Are you keeping it?”

“Do you want it?”

“I mean…”

 

Arnav ran his fingers through his hair. He did want to keep it because he wanted a memento but seeing as she wanted it, it felt wrong to ask her for it.

 

“No it’s alright, you can keep it. Any way, that was a call from a member of the cabin crew. The aircraft is ready and we can start making our way back now. Unless of course there’s something else you want to see or if you just want to spend some more time here.”

“No I’m okay, we can start heading back if you want.”

 

Arnav nodded and he and Khushi slowly made their way back towards where their jet was. Arnav couldn’t help but think about the almost kiss that they had shared. Khushi kept the photo! Did that mean she had feelings for him and that she wanted to hold onto what almost happened between them? Arnav shook his head, he couldn’t think about this, he couldn’t stress himself out over this. Khushi had made it very clear that she wanted herself and Arnav to be friends and maintain a professional relationship. He couldn’t assume something like this. But he wished he could ask her, just find out once and for all what was going on in her mind, but how could he ask her?

 

*****

 

Arnav and Khushi had returned to the jet and they were strapped in, ready for take off.
Once the jet had taken off, Arnav took his seatbelt off and waited as Khushi did the same.

 

“So it’s a 7 hour flight, I was thinking of going and taking a nap, is that okay with you?”

“Yeah sure! You take a nap, I’m going to check my emails and then I’m going to watch some tv.”

 

Arnav nodded as he made his way over to the bedroom whereas Khushi stayed in the main area and pulled her laptop out. She used the inflight wifi to check her emails and she replied to her messages from Payal, sending her pictures of the jet.

Once Khushi was all up to date with her business emails, she decided to see what films were on. There was a vast range of films that she could choose from, and decided to watch the remake of Beauty and the Beast. Khushi crossed her legs and got comfortable on the sofa and draped a blanket over herself as she got comfortable and ready to watch the film.

She watched the film, taking in everything that happens and when the film ended, she wiped away a tear of happiness.

Switching the TV off, Khushi decided to go and see if Arnav was awake yet. She got off her sofa and walked into the bedroom area to find Arnav all curled up in the bed, fast asleep.

Khushi walked over to the bed and sat down beside him and watched him sleep. He looked so different sleeping. His features were relaxed and his hair flopped over his eyes and he almost looked like a child. Khushi reached out and pushed his hair out of his eyes and smiled, he really was so very adorable. Arnav’s eyes fluttered open slightly as her hand left his face and he smiled.

 

“Hi.”

“Hey.”

“Do you want to lie down for a bit?”

“No, I’m okay.”

“How long until we land?”

“Over 4 hours still.”

“You should lie down and rest for a bit.”

“Really it’s okay, you relax.”

“Khushi, I need to get up and do some work any way. You rest.”

 

Khushi smiled and nodded. She was tired and would like to lie down. She moved on to the bed and sat on it.

 

“Is it okay if I just lie here for a few more moment?”

“Of course, it’s a big enough bed for both of us.”

 

Khushi lay down, facing away from Arnav. He lay there, staring at her back, smiling to himself. Almost as soon as Khushi’s head had hit the pillow. Her eyes fluttered shut and she went off to sleep.

 

*****

 

Somehow Arnav staying in bed for another couple of minutes, turned into another 2 hour nap. Arnav rubbed his eye and went to move off the bed when he realised he was being held down. Arnav looked to his side as his eyes widened.

Khushi was lying beside him, well more on top of him than beside him. Her head was resting on his chest, her arm around his midsection, and her leg up on his leg, her knee laying against his crotch. How had this happened? Did Khushi realise?

As much as Arnav wanted them to stay like this, he knew Khushi couldn’t wake up and find them like this. He gently picked up Khushi’s arm and placed it away from himself and then went to move her leg. But it was at that moment that Khushi’s eyes opened slowly and looked up.

Her eyes met with Arnav’s and she smiled. But her smile slipped away seconds later when she realised where they were. She jumped away from Arnav and sat on the edge of the bed, facing away from him.

 

“I’m so sorry, I don’t know what…”

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

 

Khushi got to her feet and left the bedroom in a rush, all the while saying that she needed the bathroom to freshen up. Arnav watched as she left and ran a hand through his hair. Why was she so awkward when nothing even happened. It was no big deal? Arnav shook his head and went into the little bathroom attached to the bedroom and freshen up himself.

 

*****

 

“Sir, ma’am, if you would be like take your seats and fasten your belts, we will shortly be ready to begin our descend.”

 

Arnav and Khushi both made their way back to their seats and strapped themselves in.

 

“How do you feel to almost be home?”

“It actually feels so good. I didn’t realise how much I’d actually miss England.”

“Do you want to move back one day?”

“Maybe. I don’t know. I feel like India is the place for me to be right now. But I think my heart will always be in England, I don’t know.”

“Are you going to see your parents while you are here?”

“Yes of course! I was going to see them anyway, but I need to invite them for Payal and Akash’s wedding. I still can’t believe they’re getting married.”

 

Arnav smiled, not knowing what to say. He still didn’t know what game Akash was playing and if he really was marrying Payal because he loved her. But Arnav believed that if Akash really did love Payal as much as he thought he did, then he wouldn’t be marrying her just for his game.

 

“Do you think I can come with you to meet your parents?”

“What?”

“Can I meet your parents?”

 

Khushi was slightly thrown off at this request. Why did he want to meet her parents?

 

“Well I mean, were business partners now and you’re trusting me with part of your business now. I want to get your parents blessings so that we can proposer.”

 

Khushi smiled and nodded.

 

“I didn’t realise… But yes, of course you can meet them.”

“Where are you going to be staying while you’re here?”

“I’m going to stay at a hotel, I gave up my apartment the last time I left.”

 

Khushi thought for a moment.

 

“Wait, where are you going to stay?”

“I…”

“Arnav. Please don’t tell me you haven’t sorted accommodation out.”

 

Arnav looked at Khushi slightly sheepishly. Khushi rolled her eyes playfully at him.

 

“When we get to my hotel you can ask if they have a room. But it’s a popular hotel, in the heart of London so I have a feeling it won’t be likely that they will have a room. You always have to book there in advance.”

 

Before Arnav could say anything more, the plan was preparing for landing and so it suddenly got very loud around them. However before long, the plane landed and the cabin crew notified Arnav and Khushi that they could leave the jet.

 

*****

 

After completing security and claiming their baggage, Arnav and Khushi left Heathrow airport and were met with a man who was holding a card with Khushi’s name on.

Khushi walked over to him and greeted him.

 

“Arnav, this is Arjun, he’s my PA here. Arjun this is Arnav Singh Raizada. He decided to join me for the conference.”

 

Arjun gasped slightly but composed himself and shook Arnav’s hand.

 

“Mr Raizada! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m such a fan of your work in the industry, I can’t believe I’m actually meeting you.”

“The pleasure is all mine.”

 

Once they were done with the initial pleasantries, they made their way to the car that was waiting for them. Arjun loaded up Arnav and Khushi’s bags and they were soon off.
The outer London traffic wasn’t too bad, but once they got into London city, they were stuck in traffic. The cars were not moving and it seemed that they wouldn’t get to the hotel until late evening.

 

“Arjun, how has everything been at the office? Has Rahul been able to handle everything?”

“You have nothing to worry about. Sir has everything under control, and he follows every instruction you send down to the tee.”

“That’s good. Is everyone working with him alright?”

“Yes, it’s easy to work with him, he isn’t a problematic boss, but of course, we all miss you ma’am.”

“Aw, I miss all of you as well. I was thinking of maybe coming into the office the day after tomorrow, just to see everyone and see how everything is going.”

“I’m sure they would all love to see you again.”

 

Arnav listened as Arjun and Khushi talked about her business. He’d always known Khushi was passionate about her work, but now listening to her talk to Arjun and Arjun talking about how everyone was missing it Khushi, it hit him just how good at her job she was, and just how much people respected her.

He couldn’t help but think back to high school when everyone, including himself, looked down on Khushi. She really did do everything she could to change that, and she had. She made a name for herself and made herself a respected boss that everyone listened to and loved.

After a good hour of slow moving traffic, they finally arrived at the hotel. Arjun got out of the car and took the bags out. He summoned for the doorman to come and take the bags.

 

“Ma’am will you and sir be okay to take it from here?”

“Yes we will be fine, thank you so much for collecting us.”

“It’s no problem ma’am. If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to call me.”

“I won’t, thank you so much Arjun.”

 

Arjun left and Arnav and Khushi made their way into Strand Palace Hotel.

 

 

Arnav gazed up at the large hotel.

 

“Wow!”

“You haven’t seen anything yet.”

 

The doorman pushed the door open and Arnav and Khushi walked into the lobby of the grand hotel.

For once, it was Arnav who was lost for words. He took in the grand hotel. It’s not as though he hadn’t been in fancy hotels before but this somehow felt different to all the other ones he’d been to. The lobby was long, with a marble walkway, but red carpet surrounding it. There were also large red sofas, as well as tables and chairs were people were sat. Khushi walked up to reception and Arnav followed her.

 

“Hi, I have a reservation.”

“Name please?”

“Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta.”

“Ah yes and you’re going to be attending the conference that’s being held here tomorrow as well?”

“Yes I am.”

“Okay, just a second please.”

 

The desk clerk checked Khushi’s details and then handed her her key card. Khushi thanked the lady and then Arnav stepped up.

 

“Hi, I was wondering if there are any rooms available.”

“Just a second.”

 

The woman checked on her computer but a moment later looked up.

 

“I’m afraid we don’t have any rooms.”

“Nothing at all I’m afraid.”

“Not even a family room?”

“No sir, I’m sorry.”

 

Arnav turned to Khushi.

 

“Looks like I’ll have to find somewhere else to stay.”

 

Arnav started to turn away when Khushi stopped him.

 

“You can… I… You can stay in my room.”

 

 

 

 

 

Pardesi Pyaar ~ Part 15 ~ Last Part

The wedding was done, the ceremony was complete and Arnav and Khushi were finally man and wife. Khushi had been welcomed into the house as the bahu and the little post wedding games had been played.

Now Anjali was helping Khushi up the stairs, taking her to Arnav’s bedroom. Their marital bedroom.

 

“How are you feeling?”

“So nervous Di!”

“Aw, don’t worry, it’ll all be fine. Everyone feels nervous for their wedding night, just relax.”

 

Pushing the door open, Khushi’s eyes fell on their heavily decorated bed. Around the bed were drapes of gold and red, with petals adoring it.

 

“Do you like it? It took me and you jiju half the morning to get it sorted.”

“It’s beautiful.”

 

Helping Khushi over to the bed, Anjali sat her down on the middle of the bed and then fixed her lengha, pulling it out and placing it down around her.

 

“Di… I’m really scared.”‘

 

Anjali smiled and placed a hand on Khushi’s shoulder.

 

“Don’t worry, you have no reason to be afraid at all.”

 

Moving away, Anjali relit some of the candles that had gone out and made sure that everything was perfect. Khushi took this time to calm her breathing down and to get herself in check. Anjali was right. There was nothing to be afraid of. It’s not like she was about to spend the night with a complete stranger. She was about to spend the night and the rest of her life with a man she was very much in love with. She had been waiting for this moment for so long, there really was no need to be scared.

Once Anjali made sure that everything was perfect, she turned her attention back to Khushi.

 

“Are you okay now?”

“I’m fine, thank you.”

“Then should I go and get Chote?”

 

Blushing, Khushi nodded. She was ready for Arnav, ready for the most beautiful night of her life.
Anjali pressed a kiss on top of Khushi’s head, wished her the best and then went to go and get Arnav.

Sitting up straight, Khushi waited. Anjali brought Arnav back a moment later, but the wait felt so much longer.

 

“Happy suhaag raat.”

 

Anjali pushed Arnav into the room and then left. Turning his attention to his newly wedded wife, Arnav smirked, finally, they were married. Turning around, he locked the door and then came back over to the bed.

 

“Hey, you okay?”

 

Looking up, Khushi nodded shyly. She was okay, better than okay. She was married to the man she was in love with, the man, she at one point didn’t think she could ever be with.

Sitting down beside Khushi, Arnav took her hands in his own.

 

“You’re not tired or anything are you?”

“I’m not tired at all yet.”

“So we can…”

 

Arnav watched as Khushi bit down on her lip and as her cheeks turned bright red. He smirked as he moved in closer to her, closing the distance between them.

Finally, there was nothing holding them back, nothing stopping them from finally becoming one…

 

*****

 

“Arnav, come on! We need to get ready to board our flight now!”

 

Arnav quickly shovelled the last of his food into his mouth and then grabbed his carry on and got up.

A few days had passed since Arnav and Khushi wedding, and now they were ready to be off on their honeymoon! They had decided to go to Italy. It was one of the many countries Khushi really wanted to visit and Arnav too wanted to go there.

After much debate amongst themselves and with the family, it was decided that they would go on honeymoon for a full month. This was due to the fact that Ajay wanted Arnav to come back and start taking over responsibility for the business. And once that happened, it would mean that Arnav would be busy more often and he and Khushi would have less time to spend together.

Everyone had believed a one month honeymoon would be ideal as it would mean that they would be able to spend a lot of time together before they both got busy with their lives.

 

“I can’t wait to get to Italy! I’ve seen pictures of Italy since forever and I’ve always wanted to go.”

“I’m just excited to be able to spend all that extra time alone with you.”

 

Sliding his hand up her arm, Khushi understood exactly what he was trying to say. In the short time that they had been married, Khushi had found out that Arnav was extremely insatiable. No matter how many times they got intimate, as soon as they were done, he was ready for another round. Khushi wasn’t complaining though. She knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her, so she wasn’t complaining that he wanted to make love to her over and over and over again. And she also didn’t mind that they were going away for a whole month. Like Arnav, she too was looking forward to being able to spend the whole day in bed with him.

 

*****

 

“Arnav…”

 

Arms tightening around Arnav’s neck, as she felt her muscles clench around him. She was close and she knew he was too. Arnav pumped his length within her a few more times before they both reached their peak.

The moment arrived and they both climaxed together. A hot line if fluid left Arnav’s body and up Khushi’s channel.

Arms and legs going limp, Khushi’s limbs fell away from Arnav. He rolled off her, pulling her close and just laying beside her.

 

“You okay?”

 

Nodding, Khushi pressed a kiss on Arnav’s chest and moved in close to him, basking in the warmth of his body. Initially, after they made love, they wouldn’t cuddle because they both felt self conscious due to all the sweat on their body.

However, as time had passed, they cared less.

 

“Can you believe we’re going home in 2 days?”

“I know! I can’t believe that our month here is almost up.”

 

Arnav pressed a kiss on Khushi’s forehead and wrapped an arm around her.

 

“Just because we’re going home doesn’t mean anything is going to change. I still want to spend as much time with you in bed as possible.”

 

Blushing, Khushi muttered that that was what she wanted too, because it was. She loved spending time with Arnav just generally, or just sitting and having a chat with him, but she was happiest when they were wrapped together in an intimate embrace, when they couldn’t tell where one of them started and the other ended.

 

“I love you Khushi.”

“I love you too.”

 

*****

 

Arnav held back Khushi’s hair and rubbed her back as she threw up into the toilet. It was the fourth time I less than 3 hours that she’d thrown up and Arnav was starting to get concerned.

 

“I don’t understand why you’re throwing up so much, we both ate the same food at the restaurant last night and I’m completely fine.”

 

Lifting her head, she shrugged her shoulders.

 

“If you throw up one more time, we’re going to the doctors.”

“Arnav, there’s no need.”

“It isn’t normal to be sick so many times in one go, especially when you haven’t eaten anything that should cause you to be sick.”

 

Khushi had a slight suspicion as to what could be the cause of her illness, but she didn’t want to say anything to Arnav, not until she was sure any way. She didn’t understand how it could happen, especially when they had been so careful and she was taking the pill. So she couldn’t be…

Arnav and Khushi had now been married for just a little over 3 months and everything had been going perfectly. Arnav had settled into his dad’s business and Khushi had settled into life at the Raizada house. She connected well with both Payal and Anjali and was ever so grateful to find that they were still as kind and as helpful as they had been before the wedding.
Ma too was lovely and nothing like the typical mother in laws that were shown in Indian dramas.

In these three months, Arnav and Khushi had gotten even closer to each other. As Arnav had said before their honeymoon had ended, they had managed to make time for each other almost every evening and the fire between them was still burning as brightly as it had done when they first gotten married.

 

All of a sudden, Khushi felt sick once more and threw up. Arnav held her close, as she let it all out of her system. Once she was done, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled for the doctor.

 

*****

 

“Congratulations Mr and Mrs Raizada, you are expecting a baby.”

 

Eyes wide, Arnav looked between Khushi and the doctor.

 

“But how? We used protection to begin with and Khushi’s been on the pill the whole time any way.”

“It happens sometimes. It’s not as uncommon as you’d think. A lot of people do fall pregnant even when they are on the pill. I would recommend you both go and get a full check up done as soon as Mrs Raizada is feeling a bit better.”

 

Arnav nodded and ushered the doctor out when she got up to take her leave. Dropping the doctor off at the door, he turned around and began making his way back to their bedroom when he was stopped by his mother.

 

“What’s wrong Chote, is everything okay with Khushi?”

“Everything’s fine, she just experiencing some morning sickness.

“Morning sickness? Is Khushi…”

“You’re going to be a dadi!”

“Oh Chote!”

 

Anaamika pulled her son into a big hug.

 

“That’s amazing news! I didn’t realise that either of you would want a baby so soon, but that’s lovely news.”

“I mean we weren’t planning a baby so soon, but if we’ve been blessed with a baby then we’ve been bless, nothing we can do about it.”

“Chote you go see to Khushi, check she’s okay. I’ll go and tell everyone and we’ll all be up to see her in a bit.”

 

Nodding, Arnav rushed up the stairs and towards his bedroom. Pulling open the door, he saw Khushi sat up in bed, her hand over her belly. She saw Arnav walk in and smiled. He sat down beside her and took her hand in his own.

 

“We’re going to be parents! Can’t you believe that?”

“I’m so sorry, I don’t understand how this happened. I’ve not missed a single one of my pills…”

“Sh… Why are you apologising? I know this isn’t what we planned but we’re being blessed with a baby. You don’t need to be sorry. A baby is a blessing from above.”

 

Letting out a breath of relief, Khushi hugged Arnav.

 

“I’m so nervous about the baby, but I guess I’m really excited as well.”

“Me too. I didn’t expect us to have a baby so soon, but I am excited. We’re going to have our own little person. Someone that’s half of me and half of you!”

 

Both sat close together, their hands interlinked over Khushi’s belly. Their baby couldn’t come soon enough.

 

*****

 

Laying back in the hospital bed, Khushi’s eyes welled with tears as she held her little girl in her arms for the first time. After a long, strenuous pregnancy, she could finally hold her little princess.

 

“Oh Arnav, she’s beautiful isn’t she.”

 

Arnav moved over to Khushi and took a seat beside her.

 

“They’re both beautiful, just like their mother.”

 

Handing the second baby over, Khushi peered down at both of her little girls at the same time and Arnav wrapped his hand around his extremely exhausted wife.

 

“I still can’t believe you had both of them inside you only a little while ago.”

“Truth be told, I can’t either.”

 

Both babies were tiny, weighing in at only 5 pounds each.

 

“Khushi, they look exactly the same don’t they?”

“They’re identical Arnav. Absolutely identical.”

 

Almost as though the little girls understood what their parents were saying, they both opened their little eyes.

 

“Arre dekho. They’re completely in sync with each other as well.”

 

Arnav chuckled and looked at his little girls. As he looked at them, he gasped as he took in their eyes.

 

“No Khushi look! They’re trying to show you that they aren’t completely identical. Baby on the left, her eyes are light like yours, but baby on the right has darker eyes like me.”

 

Taking in the eyes of their little girls, Khushi too noticed the difference. It was slight, no where near as extreme as the difference as hers and Arnav’s eyes, but the difference was clear.

 

“I always though identical twins had the exact same coloured eyes.”

“Apparently not!”

“Well this makes naming them easier.”

“How so Khushi?”

“Baby with lighter eyes, were going to name her with the name I picked, and baby with the darker eyes, we name her with the name you picked.”

 

Nodding, Arnav agreed that this was the best idea and the best way to go about this major decision.

 

“So it’s settled, baby on the left with the lighter eyes is Isha Singh Raizada and baby on the right with darker eyes is Arya Singh Raizada.”

“Isha and Arya Singh Raizada. Daughters of Arnav and Khushi Singh Raizada! How perfect.”

“Just like them.”

 

Wrapping his arm around his wife, Arnav placed a light kiss on Khushi’s lips and then placed a kiss on each of his daughters forehead.

Who would have thought the girl he met in a coffee shop in South Africa would become the love of his life and the mother of his children? Arnav thanked his lucky stars. A trip which he hadn’t wanted to go on became one of the best decisions of his life. Perhaps it was due to this that Durban, South Africa would forever hold an important place in his heart…

 

*The End*

Pardesi Pyaar ~ Part 14

She watched from the stairs as they walked into the house. She watched as they looked around in awe. Katie’s family had finally arrived, and so all the ceremonies for the wedding can now begin. Khushi had been waiting eagerly for Katie and her parents to arrive and now they were finally here!

Running down the stairs, Khushi threw herself into Katie’s arms, letting her tears flow.

 

“I’ve missed you so much Kay!”

“I’ve missed you too Khushi! The house is so quiet without you around and it just feels so weird not having you there all the time.”

 

Letting go of Katie, she hugged Katie’s mother too. She then took a step back and introduced Katie’s family to the Raizada’s and the Raizada’s to Katie’s family.
The Raizada’s welcomed Katie’s family into the house and led them over to the living room where they sat down.

 

“How have you been Khushi dear?”

“I’ve been great aunty! How have you been?”

“I have been well too my child, we’ve missed you so much.”

 

They were all just settling down, when there was another knock on the door. Katie turned to Arnav.

 

“Arnav I think you should go and open the door.”

 

Confused, Arnav walked over to the door and opened it. There before was none other than his good friend Karl!

 

“What the? What are you doing here?”

“I couldn’t miss your wedding bro!”

“I can’t believe you’re here!”

 

Hugging Karl, Arnav couldn’t believe this was happening. He’d told Karl on numerous occasions that he should come to the wedding, but Karl had kept saying that he probably wouldn’t be able to due to issues on his passport.

 

“So was there actually any issues with your passport then?”

“Nope! I just said that to you so I could surprise you.”

“Well I’m surprised bro! Come on in.”

 

Leading Karl into the living room, Khushi gasped the moment she saw him.

 

“Karl!? What are you doing here?”

“I couldn’t miss yours and Arnav’s wedding! So here I am!”

“I’m so glad you could come!”

 

Karl took a seat next to Arnav and Arnav introduced him to the boys of the family. They all got along so well right from the first moment. Khushi turned her attention to Katie.

 

“Did you know he was coming?”

“I did.”

“Why didn’t you tell me then?”

“He wanted to surprise you guys. Oh my goodness, I forgot to tell you something!”

“What happened?”

“I told mom and dad about me and Karl. And they’re cool with our relationship!”

“That’s great! I’m so happy for you!”

 

Everyone sat around and talked about everything under the sun. Khushi was so happy to have Katie and her family back and she was so happy that they would be here for all the wedding ceremonies. Now this wedding really could get going!

 

*****

 

There was only one night separating Arnav and Khushi from becoming man and wife. They were both excited, struggling to contain their feelings.
The Raizada’s and Katie’s family were all busy with last minute preps. Making sure that everything was sorted and ready so that the wedding would go on without a hitch.

The boys of the house were not busy with preparations, they were getting ready for the event of the decade, Arnav’s bachelors party.

 

“Jiju, you know you really shouldn’t be coming with us. Akash, you also shouldn’t be coming.”

“Bhai, its your bachelors party. We have to be there! Right jiju?”

“Right Saale Saab. We have to come to make sure you stay in line.”

 

Arnav rolled his eyes. He didn’t even want this party, he didn’t need to go out and make the most of his last night as being a bachelor. He just wanted to be with Khushi. But Karl, Akash, Shyam Jiju and their cousin NK for Australia all wanted a bachelors party, so he couldn’t say no.

 

*****

 

“So you’re really having a bachelors party?”

“Yep.”

“Really?”

“If you don’t want me to you should’ve said so ages ago. I’ve been asking you since the start.”

“I know it’s just… Don’t do anything reckless.”

 

Kissing the top of her head, he reassured her that he wouldn’t do anything stupid.

 

*****

 

The boys had been gone for just about an hour now and Khushi was getting anxious. She knew what went down at bachelors parties and as much as she trusted Arnav, she didn’t trust those who would be around him.
Before plans about the bachelors party had been made, the plan had been that all the the youngsters of the family would have a party together. Khushi looked around her, Payal, Anjali and Katie all looked bored.

 

“Girls, I have an idea.”

 

Anjali’s eyes lit up.

 

“What what?”

“What do you guys think about gatecrashing the boys bachelors party?”

 

Katie clapped her hands, loving the idea, whereas Payal and Anjali looked at each other, slightly wary.

 

“Khushi… I don’t know… The boys might not appreciate us just going there.”

“But jiji! Wouldn’t you rather them be annoyed than finding out that Akash Bhai was doing something he shouldn’t.”

 

Gasping, Payal nodded frantically.

 

“You’re right Khushi. We shouldn’t trust these boys. Di, I think Khushi is right, I think we should.”

“But Payal…”

“Di, you know what they’re like when they get together. Do you remember what happened last time Akash and Arnav bhai took jiju out?”

 

Anjali raised her hand to her mouth as she gasped, recalling the antics of their last boy’s night out. Getting to her feet, she told everyone to quickly go and get ready. They were going to the farmhouse.

 

*****

 

Arriving at the farmhouse, the girls all made sure that they looked presentable and then Anjali led them to the door.

 

“Now ladies, if they’re a mess, we need to teach them a good lesson. Deal?”

 

All nodding, they made their way into the farmhouse.
The music was loud and the lights were low. But the house was empty. They followed the music to where it was the loudest and there they found the boys. Just the five of them, on their own, with bottles of beer around them.

Arnav was the first to notice the new arrivals and got to this feet.

 

“What are you guys doing here?”

 

Anjali stepped forward.

 

“We came to check on you boys.”

“Di, how could you guys just crash our party like this?”

“There’s not much of a party going on Chote.”

 

NK laughed and got to his feet and came over to Anjali and Arnav.

 

“You see Di, we knew you girls wouldn’t be able to stay away. So we decided that we would make you believe that we were having a crazy party so you all would get annoyed and join us.”

“Why didn’t you just tell us that you guys wanted us all to spend the evening together?”

“Where’s the fun in that?”

 

Anjali rolled her eyes and tutted. Shyam came up to her and draped his arm around her.

 

“Rani Sahiba, forgive us for lying to you ladies, but it was more fun this way, winding you guys up.”

 

As all the girls scolded their partners, Khushi moved over to Arnav who draped his arm around her.

 

“Hi.”

 

His voice was low and husky, she loved it when he sounded like that.

 

“How long do you think they’re all going to stay angry at each other?”

“Who cares, let’s dance.”

 

Taking her hand, Arnav dragged Khushi away from the arguing couples. Once they were a little far away, they could no longer hear the others, the music loud.

The song changed and Arnav pulled Khushi close to himself.

Arnav moved his body against Khushi’s in time with the beat of the music, his body brushing against hers. Khushi looked over to the others and saw that they were all absorbed in themselves so she too let loose and let the music take over.

She couldn’t remember the last time she’d been on the dance floor, just enjoying the company she was in. Tonight, right now, she felt completely carefree.

Arnav’s hands landed on her waist as he pulled her back against himself, his lips lowering to her neck. His arms tightened around her waist and Khushi could feel every inch of his body hard against hers as he carried on kissing her neck.

Caught up in the moment, Arnav spun Khushi around in his arms so that she was now facing him. He ran a finger down her face, while his arm tightened around her waist. His lips were only a centimetre away from Khushi’s, when he felt a hand pull him away from her slightly.

 

“What the…”

 

Shyam raised his eyebrow at Arnav.

 

“Jiju…”

“I understand how you’re feeling, but we can’t let you kids get carried away. Save it for your suhaag raat tomorrow night.”

 

Shyam walked away, leaving a furiously blushing Khushi and a slightly miffed Arnav. But he did as his jiju said and took a step away from Khushi.

 

“He’s right, let’s save it for tomorrow night.”

 

Moving closer to him once again, Khushi pressed her lips close to his ears as she whispered, “I can’t wait…”

Fantasies

 

Arnav got out of the car and locked the doors. His t-shirt was plastered to his skin due to the heavy rain and so he peeled it off of his body. He dabbed the wet t-shirt against his bare chest, trying to soak the water up off of his taut chest. Just as he was about to close the door to garage, he saw a woman making her way into the garage.

 

“Khushi?”

 

Khushi’s heels clicked against the floor of the garage as she walked in. She pushed the button to the door and watched the hatched door come down.

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

Khushi made her way over to Arnav and wrapped her arms around him.

 

“The rain, the thunder, I didn’t want to be alone.”

“You should’ve called me. I would’ve come to buaji’s house.”

“I didn’t think… I just knew I needed to be with you.”

 

Arnav peeled her off of himself and fingered her wet coat.

 

“You should take this off before you get a cold.”

 

He undid the buttons of her coat and pushed it off of her shoulders and placed it on the bonnet of the car. Underneath, she just had on a silky nightdress.

 

“Let’s get inside, you’re going to get cold.”

 

Khushi’s hand ran over his chest and she hooked her fingers into the waistband of his trousers. She pulled him towards herself and then let go of his trousers.

Wrapping her arms around his neck once more, she placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

 

“I need you Raizada.”

“Let’s go upstairs.”

“I need you now.”

 

Arnav locked his lips onto Khushi’s and lifted her off her feet. He placed her on the bonnet of the large SUV and stepped between her legs. Wrapping her legs around his waist, Khushi slipped her tongue between Arnav’s lips.

Arnav let his hands rest on Khushi’s thighs and let himself stroke her legs as they made out. He let his hands move under her nightdress and onto either side of her waist and he pulled her forward, closer to himself. Khushi tightened her legs around his waist and threw her head back as he kissed the column on her neck. He let his hands move up further until he found the bottoms of her breasts and let his hands feel them over her bra.

Arnav pulled himself away and ran his hand along her face.

 

“What brought this on?”

“I told you, the rain and thunder and I didn’t want to be alone.”

“And I said you should’ve just called me.”

“Why are you trying to ruin the moment. Okay fine, I was watching Race and you know how Saif and Bipasha make love in the stable after the heavy rain, well I guess it made me think about us and I don’t know, I just really wanted to…”

“But we don’t have a stable.”

“Garage is the next best thing.”

“So what would have happened if you hadn’t come in time and I’d already gone inside?”

 

Khushi went quiet for a moment.

 

“I hadn’t thought of that.”

“So you’re telling me, you came here in this weather so we could make love and fulfil one of your fantasies?”

“Yes, pretty much.”

 

Arnav laughed pressed his lips too Khushi’s once more. She looped her arms around his neck, pulling him further into herself. Arnav’s hands fumbled a bit as he found the hem of her nightdress. He pulled it off in one swift motion and placed it beside them on the bonnet of the car.

 

“Do you want me to take your bra off, or are you going to do that thing where you take it off super slowly and make me get harder with every inch of you skin you expose?”

 

khushi who was busy kissing Arnav’s neck, pulled away slightly and looked at him like she was lost.

 

“What the hell are you talking about Raizada?”

 

Arnav chuckled and unclasped Khushi’s bra in one swift motion. Khushi loved how he did that. He took her bra off so much more easily than she ever could. He put the scrap of material aside, along with the rest of her clothes. Her nipples were already stiff little peaks. Arnav closed his lips around one little peak, all the while lightly pinching the other. Khushi moaned out and gripped his hair, willing him to continue his torture on her body. Khushi pressed her face into his neck and placed little kisses while he carried on licking her nipples and pulling at it with his lips. His hand wandered down her body and into her panties.

 

“Ah.”

 

Arnav grinned against her breasts before coming back up to press his lips onto hers. He let his lips fall between hers, before proceeding to part her lips with his tongue. He let his tongue dance with Khushi’s as he continued to let his hands explore her body.

He broke the kiss not long after and stepped back a tiny bit so that he could take his trousers off.

Pulling his jeans off, he let his boxers fall away with them. Khushi’s eyes widened when she saw him. Every time, felt like the first time. They’d been married over a year and his length still made her blush.

Arnav pulled Khushi slightly so that she was on the edge of the bonnet, and then pulled her panties away and placed them aside. Arnav held his length as he guided it into her forever ready body. She was always ready, no matter what time of day, her body was always ready for his and for this level of intimacy.

 

“Ah…”

 

Letting her head fall back, Khushi wrapped her arms around Arnav and he thrust into her. Her legs tightened around his waist as his fingers touched her body, playing with her. Arnav moved fast, a pace that was familiar to the both of them, one he knew they enjoyed. Arnav dropped his face to the crook of Khushi’s neck and placed little kisses on her neck. She held him closer, her arms around him. Their bodies moved together and Khushi felt herself getting closer to the edge. She could tell Arnav was finding this position difficult, what with the car being so high.

 

“Arnav… We can… We can go upstairs.”

 

Arnav stopped moving and lifted Khushi off the bonnet of the car. He unlocked the door and opened the door to the back of the car. He threw khushi into the back and shut the door behind him.

 

“Arnav…”

“You have your fantasies and I have mine. One of mine has always been to make love to you long and hard in the back seat of my car.”

 

The back of Arnav’s car was large and spacious, but wasn’t nearly as roomy as he needed. He leaned in and pressed his face into her most intimate area.

 

“Ahhh”

 

Taking a fistful of his hair, Khushi pushed his head further into her and she wrapped her legs tightly around him. Arnav’s tongue sought out Khushi’s intimate gem and he flicked at it with his tongue.
He could taste her juices mixing in with his saliva.

Arnav pulled himself away and moved on top of Khushi and kissed her hard on the lips before placing light kisses on her breasts.

Pushing herself up with her elbows, Khushi got up. She pushed Arnav back and touched him down there.

 

“Khushi…”

“Is this a part of your fantasy to?”

“You don’t have to…”

 

Khushi rubbed his length up and down before taking his length into her mouth. Arnav instantly sank back into the seat. Her mouth wasn’t nearly as experienced as his, yet she pleasured him in a manner he didn’t know was possible. He felt himself lose control, felt his release coming. Pulling her back up to himself, he pushed her back and came over her. He needed to be in her. He needed to sink into her.

Their bodies moved together, their breathing rapid and shallow. Their moans filled the air around them. Their breathing and the sweat from their body was causing the windows of the car to steam up.

They were both so close to the edge, so ready to just tumble into oblivion together. Moments later that’s exactly what happened.

 

“Fu…”

“Oh.”

 

Gathering her close, Arnav collapsed on top of Khushi. Their breathing was still irregular. They remained in their intimate embrace, their bodies still one, basking in the afterglow.

 

“Holy crap.”

 

Placing a kiss on his cheek, Khushi wrapped her arms back around his neck.

 

“That was intense Arnav.”

“I can’t believe we made love in the garage, on top of our car and in the backseat. Khushi… Whoa.”

“Did we fulfil your fantasy?”

“One of my many fantasies Khushi.”

“You have more?”

“Of course, many, many more?”

“Then I suggest we move onto another one now.”

 

Smirking, Arnav opened the door of the car and grabbed their clothes. Once dressed, he took Khushi’s hand and they left the garage and made their way out to the terrace of the house. He couldn’t wait to live out all of his fantasies with her.

Pardesi Pyaar ~ Part 13

 

Pulling up in front of the large house, Khushi felt as though her eyes were going to fall out of her head. She had been anticipating a large house, but she hadn’t expected this. The Raizada house was HUGE, way bigger than anything she had ever seen before.

 

“Welcome to Shantivan.”

“This is your home?”

“Yep.”

“It’s beautiful!”

 

Turning in his seat, Akash looked to his future sister in law.

 

“Welcome home bhabi!”

 

Arnav got out of the car and then helped Khushi out while Shyam and Akash got their luggage. Arnav placed his hand on Khushi’s and led her to the front door.

 

“Don’t be nervous. I’m here, with you.”

 

They reached the front door and Arnav rang the doorbell, his hand remained in Khushi’s even when she wanted to break away.

They stood waiting for only half a moment and then the door flew open and a pretty woman in a pale pink sari opened the door. She looked at though she would be a couple of years older than Arnav. This must either be his Di or Akash’s wife.

 

“Chote! You’re home!”

 

Moving forward, Arnav hugged the woman just as another, also beautiful and young woman, joined the first. Khushi realised that the first woman must have been his Di and the one that joined them now was Akash’s wife.

The woman who Khushi assumed to be Akash’s wife handed the woman who Khushi assumed to be Arnav’s Di, a pooja ki thaal.

 

“Di, must you do this?”

“Yes Chote! You’ve arrived home after moths and our new sister in law is entering the house for the first time, this has to be done.”

 

Realising that Khushi was right, she smiled. This was his Anjali Di.

Anjali began to do the aarthi. When she was done she allowed Arnav and Khushi into the house.

 

“Chote, you’re so rude, you haven’t introduced us to our bhabi to be.”

“Sorry, sorry. Di this is Khushi, Khushi this is my Di.”

“It’s so good to finally meet you Khushi. We’ve all heard so much about you.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you too.”

 

Anjali led Khushi and Arnav through the house and gestured for them to take a seat in the living room. Khushi watched as Akash passed the luggage over to a man named Hari Prakash and asked him to take them up to Arnav’s room and the guest room.

 

“Did you guys have a good journey?”

“It was okay.”

 

They all made small talk about the journey when the other young woman came out of the kitchen with a tray of drinks and snacks. She placed the tray down on the table and then took a seat beside Akash.

 

“I’m Payal, Akash’s wife. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Khushi.”

“Same here.”

 

Arnav looked around the house and then addressed his Di.

 

“Di where’s Ma, mami and Nani?”

“They went to the temple, they should be back any time now.”

 

Nodding Arnav settled back down, placing his hand on Khushi’s knee. He leaned forward and whispered to her.

 

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, thanks.”

“Aw look how cute they are!”

 

Pulling away from Arnav, Khushi blushed a deep shade of red as she watched Arnav’s siblings and their partners all look at them.

 

“Don’t worry Khushi, we’re all couples here and we all share things any way. As long as the elders aren’t around, you guys can get as cosy with each other as you want in front of us.”

 

Turning to Arnav, she watched as he smirked and slipped his arm around her. She tried to shake him off but he kept his arm in place.

 

*****

 

Some time had passed and Khushi was feeling a lot more comfortable around the younger members of the Raizada family. Anjali Di was very sweet but she teased them a lot. Shyam jiju was the opposite of his wife, even though he was still very sweet, he calmed his wife down, making her go easy on Arnav and Khushi.
Akash was quite quiet, he didn’t say much, but he was very friendly. His wife Payal was also like that. She didn’t speak much, but she was warm and very attentive.

Feeling herself starting to loosen up, she relaxed against Arnav and laughed at the jokes and stories that were being told.
It was then that the door rang.

 

“Looks like they’re back from the temple.”

 

Moving away from Arnav, Khushi stood up and smoothed out her clothes, making sure that she looked presentable. Anjali and Arnav also got up and they led Khushi over to the hallway, waiting for the women to approach them.

 

“My Chote is home!”

 

Taking in the three women, Khushi established who was Nani. Then she looked at the other two women beside her. The first woman looked like a rainbow with a colourful sari and equally colourful jewellery, the other woman, looked a lot like Anjali, just older. This must be Arnav’s mother.

 

“Ma, Nani, mami. This is Khushi.”

 

Moving forward, Khushi touched the feet of all three ladies, all of whom gave her their blessings. She then came back and stood before Arnav’s mother.

Arnav’s mother, Anaamika Raizada looked at the girl before her. Khushi stood there, watching as Arnav’s mother looked at her from top to bottom, an expression of deep thought never leaving her face. Khushi felt her heart dropping the longer Arnav’s mother looked at her. Maybe she wasn’t going to like her, maybe she wouldn’t approve of Khushi as their daughter in law.

Then all of a sudden Anaamika broke into a smile and moved towards Khushi, pulling her into her arms.

 

“Chote, you have picked an absolute jewel to be your wife. She’s absolutely beautiful. Your father was right, you have picked a girl that’s more beautiful than your mother, I am impressed.”

 

Feeling her cheeks go red, Khushi hugged Arnav’s mother, so glad to be accepted. Breaking the hug, Anaamika took Khushi’s hand as she led Khushi into the living area where the other Raizada’s were waiting nervously. Sitting down, Anaamika took the seat next to Khushi.

 

“Ma, you are right, she is beautiful, but you are still the most beautiful woman in my life.”

 

The Raizada’s laughed at Arnav’s attempt to butter his mother up. Anaamika laughed.

 

“Nice attempt Chote. But there really is no harm in agreeing with me and saying that Khushi is more beautiful because she really is.”

 

Nodding, Arnav blushed. His mother was right. As much as he loved his mother and sister, Khushi definitely was far more beautiful.

Anaamika turned her attention back to the girl sat beside her.

 

“How was your flight dear?”

“It was good aunty.”

“Have you had the opportunity to freshen up yet?”

 

Shaking her head, Anaamika nodded.

 

“Go to your room to freshen up and I’ll get some food ready for you.”

“There’s no need for that aunty, I’m not hungry.”

“Nonsense! You have to eat. Anjali, go and show Khushi to her room. Khushi, freshen up, rest a bit and then I’ll send someone to get you when the food is ready.”

“Ji auntyji.”

“Also, stop calling me aunty. I’m going to be your saas very soon so you can call me ma.”

 

Blushing, Khushi looked up at Arnav who was staring at her, smiling.

 

“Ji Ma.”

 

As Anjali led her up to her room, Khushi couldn’t believe her luck. The Raizada’s were all lovely people and they all accepted her. Khushi thanked her lucky stars. For once, things in her life seemed to be sailing smoothly.

 

*****

 

A week had passed since Arnav and Khushi had arrived back in India. Things had been going very well with wedding talks starting. At first Khushi had been quite nervous because she didn’t know if she was ready for marriage, but now, she knew that she wanted to spend her life with Arnav and she loved this family so she didn’t mind getting married.

Arnav and Khushi were currently in Khushi’s bedroom, locked in a tight embrace, Arnav’s hand running up and down Khushi’s back as his lips caressed hers. Khushi’s hand tightened in his hair, while the other ran up and down his chest.
They had tried to stay away from each other, mainly because Khushi was worried someone would see them and they’d disapprove, but they could no longer resist each other.

Finally they broke the kiss before things went too far.

 

“Arnav we should stop.”

“Ugh, I can’t take this any more. I need to be close to you.”

“Well we’re going to be married soon.”

“Soon isn’t soon enough. Besides, the pandit can’t find us a good date yet.”

“They’ll find us a date soon Arnav. And besides, sabar ka fal meeta hoti hai.”

“I’m sure you’ll be meeta anyway Khushi. Let me take a bite to check.”

 

Batting him away from her, Khushi laughed and straighten out her clothes. But she understood Arnav’s impatience. She too wanted to get close to him, but she knew she had to wait, it was the right thing to do.

 

“I swear, watch what I do to you on our wedding night.”

 

Feeling the heat in her cheeks growing, Khushi hid her face in his chest. She didn’t want to think about what is soon to happen between them, excitement and nervousness about the matter all mixed together, making her feel slightly sick.

Smirking, Arnav stepped away and slowly exited the room, allowing Khushi time to process his words. He loved seeing her like this, so completely absorbed in the thoughts of what was to come.

Once Arnav was out the door, Khushi moved over to the door, shutting it and resting her back against it. Her breathing was heavy, her chest rising and falling rapidly, thoughts of him taking over her mind. Recalling all their semi intimate encounters, Khushi replayed all the emotions she had felt. It was all so intense, how could it get any more heated. But of course she knew it could and the prospect of what was to come made her burn up with both shyness and desire.

She couldn’t wait to become Mrs Arnav Singh Raizada.

Fifty Shades of Raizada ~ Part 10

Khushi awoke from her deep slumber. It took her a moment to realise where she was and what had happened. Khushi blushed and smiled as she remembered what had gone on between her and Arnav. She reached out to the other side of the bed, only to find that it was fairly cold. She turned and realised that the bed was empty. Where was Arnav

Khushi pulled the sheets up to her chest and slowly got out of bed. Her abdomen stung slightly, proof that what she thought had happened, had actually happened. She covered herself with the sheets and slowly made her way out of the room. There was a light on in the living area and Khushi found Arnav sitting on the sofa watching tv. She walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

 

“You’re awake?”

“I couldn’t sleep.”

“Why didn’t you wake me?”

“You needed rest.”

 

Khushi walked round so that she was in front of Arnav and he pulled her to himself, making her sheets fall to the floor, leaving her completely exposed to him.
Arnav pulled Khushi onto his lap and kissed her. Khushi wrapped her arms around Arnav’s neck and he placed his hands on her butt. He got off the sofa, never breaking the kiss and took them back into the bedroom…

 

*****

 

The light began to peek through the curtains and Khushi shut her eyes tightly, trying to block out the light. But alas, the night had ended and she couldn’t avoid the day forever. Khushi opened her eyes to find a sleeping Arnav beside her. After they’d made love one more time, Arnav had finally fallen asleep, and he was still sleeping. Khushi traced his face with her finger, running her finger over his nose and down to his lips. He looked so innocent while sleeping, but one thing she had definitely learnt last night was that Arnav was anything but innocent. His room… His ideas of what a relationship was… The scars on his chest?

There was so much she didn’t know about the man lying next to her and she knew she wanted to find out everything. She wanted to know why he was like this, why he didn’t believe in making love, why he didn’t believe in a proper relationship. She needed to know.

Slowly, she got out of bed and reached out for Arnav’s shirt that was lying forgotten on the floor and slipped it on. It was on the large side but it was comfortable and had Arnav’s scent on it. She inhaled and smiled and then decided that she was going to go and prepare some breakfast for him.

Khushi walked into the kitchen and took in the bright, modern room. She looked around, trying to get inspiration as to what she could make for breakfast and settled on pancakes with cream and fresh berries. She ties her hair up and finds herself a mixing bowl and starts beating the eggs. She adds some milk to the eggs and whisks them together, but is stopped abruptly when a pair of arms snake around her waist and pull her into the body of the owner of the arms.

 

“Good morning.” Arnav whispers into Khushi’s ear.

 

Khushi blushes and turns in his arms. Arnav took her lips between his in a gentle kiss and ran his hands down her arm. They broke away not too long after.

 

“What are you making for me?”

“Pancakes with fresh cream and berries.”

“I hope you’re making them sugar free because you know I’m diabetic.”

“I know, and I’ve made sure there’s no sugar in them.”

“I appreciate that, but do you know what I would really like for breakfast?”

“What?”

“I’d like to take you into my playroom and fuck you all over again.”

“Arnav…”

“I know, I know, but we wouldn’t have to do anything extreme. Just some bondage.”

“Arnav, I don’t know.”

“But you stayed yesterday, that means you’re interested.”

“I’m interested in you Arnav, but I can’t say the same about your world.”

“Okay, fine. I understand. Take all the time you need going through the contact. Until then, I won’t pressure you about the room.”

“I appreciate that.”

 

Arnav nodded and let go of Khushi as he made his way over to the fruit bowl and grabbed an apple.

 

“Wait don’t have that yet, have the pancakes first.”

“I’m not hungry right now. I’m going out for a jog. I’ll eat them when I come back.”

 

Arnav left the kitchen and went back into his bedroom. Khushi turned back to her pancakes and felt slightly deflated. Was he leaving for a jog because he wasn’t happy about how she responded to his request? He came out of the bedroom, fully dressed in his sports gear and he left without saying another word. Maybe he was mad. Khushi covered all the pancakes and put them in the microwave so that they would stay warm. She went up to the room Arnav had called her bedroom.

The room was bare, it didn’t have anything other than a bed with a small bedside table, a small wardrobe and a small chest of drawers. The walls were cream and plain. There wasn’t a single picture hanging on the walls. The room itself was a decent size, not too big, not too small. But somehow, standing in the doorway, Khushi felt the room was so much bigger than it actually was. It felt eerie and cold. She walked in and picked up the envelop that was sat on top of the bedside table. Slipping it out of the envelope, Khushi saw that it was a thick document, one that would take a long time to read and go through. She sat down on the bed and started from the beginning. There was a detailed list of all the obligations she would have to follow before she actually became his submissive and what she would have to carry on doing after.

1. Have a thorough STD test to make sure that you are not carrying any form of STD.

2. Go to the gynaecologist and take on some form of contraception.

3. You must be absolutely clean at all times. No bodily hair anywhere.

4. If at any point you fall ill, you must notify your master otherwise punishment will be given. You are not to come anywhere near your master when you are ill.

5. You may refer to ASR as Sir or Master only during sexual acts.

6. When an agreed time is set for you to be present in the play room, if you are not there, punishment will be given.

7. If you disagree to your master in the game room, you will be punished.

8. If you mark your master in any way, you will be punished.

9. You are not allowed to ask your master for anything. For example, if you would like him to perform oral sex on you, you cannot ask this from him. If he wishes to reward you in this manner, he has the right to do so, but if he does not, you cannot ask.

10. If you have agreed to a certain type of act in the contract, but later tell your master that you do not want to do it, then your master reserves the right to carry that act out on you any way, but you will also be punished for not carrying out your masters act willingly.

The last point that Khushi had read stood out to her the most. Was Arnav trying to say that even if she didn’t want to do something, he’d be able to force her to do it? Surely that’s ra… Khushi couldn’t bring herself to say the word even to herself. Surely he wouldn’t.

And punishment? What did that mean? How would he punish her?

Khushi put the contract down. She hadn’t even finished reading one section and her head was already spinning. She couldn’t do this. There were too many rules, half of which she didn’t even understand.

She picked the contract up again and went onto the list of equipment that could be used during sexual acts. The list was long and detailed. The name of each item had its picture next to it and a detailed description of how it would be used. Some of them made Khushi’s skin crawl and she decided she wanted out. She couldn’t do this.

Leaving the room, she walked back down to Arnav’s bedroom. The room smelt of something it hadn’t smelt of yesterday. Khushi smiled, thinking back to the way they’d spent the night. The first time they did it, he hadn’t been all the gentle with her, she could tell. However the second time, he went a lot more slowly, kissing her not as aggressively. She was convinced he was making love to her that time, she knew it deep within her it wasn’t just sex.

 

*****

 

“Will you have some breakfast now?”

“Nah, I want to grab a shower.”

 

Arnav had just returned from his jog and Khushi was waiting for him with food.

 

“But your food…”

“I don’t want it now okay.”

 

Arnav walked into the bedroom and stripped off this sweaty workout clothes. Khushi followed him into the bedroom. Sweat was dripping down his toned back, and she couldn’t help but admire his finely sculpted body. Arnav saw him watching him through the mirror and watched as she bit her lip as he took all of her in. He turned slowly.

 

“Like what you see?”

“You know I do.”

 

Arnav walked over to Khushi and unbuttoned his shirt that she was wearing. He slipped it off her shoulders and placed both hands on either side of her exposed breasts.

 

“Why are you still in my clothes and why are you still not wearing any underwear?”

“I thought you’d appreciate me like this more.”

“And to think I was scared you’re too innocent for me.”

 

Khushi laughed but Arnav captured her lips between his. He pushed her against the wall, all the while getting a handful of Khushi. Khushi moaned as her fingers tangled into his hair and she pulled him closer. Arnav hooked her leg onto his waist and pulled her up against the wall. He held her up with his body, while he let his hands feel hers. His hands slipped into her panties and he pushed a finger into her. Khushi’s head fell back against the wall and she pulled him closer as he began to trail a line of kisses down her neck. He continued to pump his finger within her. He let another finger join the sweet torture. And then he just stopped.

He let Khushi down onto the floor and helped her steady herself. Khushi’s eyes fluttered open as she looked at him confused.

 

“What’s wrong?”

“Sign the contract.”

“I haven’t finished going through it.”

 

Arnav stepped away from Khushi.

 

“I won’t touch you again until you sign the contract.”

“But I don’t even know if I am going to sign it. Honestly, Arnav it’s too much, too many rules. I didn’t expect this.”

“What were you expecting then?”

 

Khushi took a step towards Arnav, vaguely aware of the fact that she was almost butt naked.

She placed a hand on his cheek.

 

“I was expecting you. To get you. To have you. And for us maybe to have a future together.”

“And you can have me and we can have a future together.”

“But what kind of future is it? You don’t want a marriage and I’m expected to call you sir or master? I can’t deal with that.”

“Khushi, those are all technicalities.”

“But they’re a part of all of this! And the main issue is the marriage issue if I’m honest with you. Like I said, I expected a future, maybe marriage somewhere in the future. But if we can’t have that then…”

“Then what?”

“Then I don’t think I can do this.”

“So what? Because I don’t believe in marriage, you’re not going to stay with me.”

“I can’t Arnav. The whole reason why I came here and pursued this was because I believe that somewhere along the lines you would commit to me. But it is evident you don’t intend on doing that.”

“But I will commit to you! You sign that contract and I’m yours, all yours forever yours. If you sign that contact that’s it’s, it me and you and that’s it. I won’t be with anyone else and you can’t either.”

“But you won’t marry me.”

“Who cares about marriage! Marriage is just a sheet of paper making us official. It doesn’t mean anything.”

“I think you forget Arnav, but I am an Indian girl. And for me to live with a man who isn’t my husband, it’ll dirt my name and my family’s. I can’t do that.”

“Won’t your name get dirtied when people find out that I’ve fucked you.”

“Can you stop saying that!”

“Saying that!”

“What?”

“That whenever we make love it’s just fucking.”

“I told you, I don’t make love. I fuck. Plain and simple.”

“Is that all I am to you? A quick fuck?”

 

Tears pricked Khushi’s eyes but she didn’t want to cry, not now, not in front of him. Arnav picked the shirt Khushi was wearing and covered her with it.

 

“I get that right now isn’t the best time to try and make sense of all of this. So how about you go and rest in your room for a bit and I’ll come and talk to you later.”

“I don’t have a room.”

“The one upstairs. It’s yours Khushi. You can do whatever you want with it.”

 

Khushi shook her head and pulled the shirt around herself and rushed past Arnav. She forced the tears back, willing for them to hold off just until she made it upstairs. Arnav watched her go, didn’t attempt to stop her.

Khushi ran up the stairs and into the bedroom that was meant to be hers and flung herself onto the bed. What had she been thinking? What had she expected? She should realised something wasn’t right when he said he wasn’t the type of man for her, she should have backed off and left him alone. Why had she thought it was a smart idea to come after him. Why why why why why!

Khushi let her tears flow. Arnav had quietly followed Khushi up the stairs and was watching her from the doorway. He hated seeing her like this, but he didn’t know what else to do. He made to go in and comfort her, but right now she needed to be alone and he needed to rethink of a way to keep her with him. Arnav turned away from Khushi and made his way back to his room. He had a taste of her, and he knew he could get her to come round to his ways. He just needed time to rethink how he could reproach the matter. He knew he could get around. And he knew he needed to keep her. Even if it was the last thing he ever did.

Addressing Certain Matters

 

Hi guys! I hope you are all doing very well. This a post I have felt the need to put together because there a number of different things which I would like to address and also notify you guys of. I feel like this is going to become a fairly long post, so I hope you all are sitting comfortably and have a hot beverage to keep you going.

 

Fifty Shades Ending
The first matter that I would like to address is the ending of Fifty Shades of Raizada. Since I have announced that I am going to soon end Fifty Shades, I have received a lot of messages all across my different social media platforms asking for the story not to be ended.

I’m afraid that despite the requests, I am still going to bring Fifty Shades of Raizada to a close. I’m not going to go into detail again about why because I have explained in my other post, but I would like to take this moment to reassure everyone that I will end the story properly. Later today, part 10 of Fifty Shades is going up and I have currently written up to part 17. I am telling you all this because I want you to understand that just because I have said I am ending the story, it doesn’t mean that I am pulling it off within the next few chapters. There is still quite a bit to go and I think I will bring it to an end by chapter 20. So rest assured I am not just ending it abruptly, it will get a proper ending, one I hope everyone will be happy with. My plan is to try and end this story by the end of the year, but we will have to see what happens.

 

Unwanted Returning
As one story ends, it’s time to start thinking about the return of another. As many of you know, I had put Unwanted on a pause when the first half of the story ended. I am now ready to bring Unwanted back. I have established the storyline and I’m ready and super excited to start writing it again!
I think the storyline is going to be quite different to anything I have written previously and due to that I think you guys are really going to enjoy it. Also, I am going to continue writing it in first person, as I had done previously because that’s a style of writing I really like, but don’t tend to use enough.

So yes, Unwanted, will be returning very, very soon so stay tuned! Also, it maybe a good idea to go back and read chapters 1-19 because there will be details from there which will be important going forward in the story. As the break has been long, you guys may have forgotten certain details and it will help to have a refresher! I’ve had to read it back so many times myself to make sure that the storyline is correct and what I am planning is going to make sense.

 

Scheduling
The next point I would like to talk about is scheduling. Since the beginning of this year, I have had a very regular uploading system, wherein I post new chapters to my main stories (Fifty Shades and Jalebi) one a fortnight. This means that each story is being updated once a month, every month. Now I understand that this isn’t a lot. But I really need people to understand that it takes a lot of time to write chapters and to get them edited properly. So please, please do not complain about scheduling and how long it takes me to update because I really am doing my best so that I can get good quality work up all the time.

I also would like to take this moment to say that if I wasn’t doing anything else, I would surely be writing and posting more, however, I am at university, so I’m very busy during term time, and I also work 2 jobs.

Due to this, I cannot speed up the process and give you more chapters more frequently. However, I am looking at potential scheduling changes, I will talk more on that later.

 

Spam comments
I recently received an email for WordPress alerting me about the number of Spam comments that had been flagged and that are awaiting moderation. I started scrolling through them, but there was just far far too many to look through. Due to this, I would like to request to everyone that if you are posting a comment and it isn’t appearing on my blog, it could be because there is something within that comment which is causing it to be flagged for spam.

In order to avoid having your comment marked for spam, I request everyone not to use any kind of strong language in comments and to keep general chit chat to a minimum. If you would like to have a chat with me, that is fine, I have a number of social media accounts where I do talk to people. I will link them all below, so please drop me a line on there instead of on here.

 

Potential scheduling changes
Over my summer break, I’ve been really busy, getting as much writing done as possible and I am quite far ahead in terms of updates. I’ve got over 20 pieces of work in my drafts, waiting to be edited and then scheduled.
I was considering changing my uploading schedule for a brief period of time so that I can get some of these updates up sooner than they were meant to.

However, as I am going back to university from tomorrow, I’m not sure how much time I am going to have to actually write from next week. So I have decided that I will stick to my schedule as it is until the end of October and if I am still able to write consistently, then from November until the end of the year I will upload a new chapter of either Fifty Shades or Jalebi every week.

If I do do this, it will only be for November and December though, from the new year, I will definitely have to go back to my current schedule.

Again this is only a potential plan, I’m not sure yet if I will change how I upload, but I am considering the temporary change.

 

Endings and New Beginnings
As many of you know, Pardesi Pyaar is nearing its end. As you guys are reading this, I will probably be busy writing part 15 which will be the final part!
I hope you guys will enjoy the last couple of chapters and I hope you have been enjoying the journey overall. Thank you for joining me on this journey to South Africa! I know some people will have expected more twists and turns to the story, however it was an SS and my initial plan had always been to only have between 10 and 15 chapters. So considering the fact that I have taken it up to the full 15, is the reason why I couldn’t have included more twists as it would have lengthened the story more and I didn’t want that.

However, please don’t be sad that Pardesi Pyaar is ending! The ending of one story marks the new beginning of another story.
I have a new SS idea which I haven’t started working on but I do have a slight plan for. Initially I had thought I would start writing it and posting it as soon as Pardesi ended, however I have now decided that I will try and start getting it up from the beginning for the new year instead. By doing this, it will give me more time to focus on my fanfics (Fifty Shades and Jalebi) and really start moving them further along.

So stay tuned because a new short story will be joining my collection of stories from the new year!

 

One Shots
Many of you may have realised that I have really, really been enjoying writing one shots recently. It’s been lots of fun and I have loads of ideas for one shots that I really want to get down.

This is just a short note to say that I have A LOT of one shots lined up, both in the editing stage and in the planning stage so there will be one shots being dropped every now and again. A lot of them will be a part of the IPKKND Remake series, however I do have quite a few original ideas as well! So I hope you guys will enjoy them when they come out.

 

Social media
We are finally nearing the end! So if you are still with me, well done!
Over the past few months, I have been very active on Instagram and Twitter, mainly twitter. I post a lot of pictures from the show and I also post sneak peaks of what is to come in my stories.
So if you are on either Instagram or Twitter, please do follow me. My handle on both is @tweetee_x.

Over on those platforms, I interact with a lot of people, so if you would just like to have a chat, please do add me on those so that we can do.

 

PHEW! We have finally reached the end of the post! I hope this has been a useful post and that I have addressed a lot of things.
If there is anything else you would like to know, leave it in the comments below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time and be sure to read the new chapter of Fifty Shades which will be going up very soon!

Thank you for your time and I will see you all again very soon! x

Pardesi Pyaar ~ Part 12

Arnav, Ajay and Khushi had all checked into the airport, and were waiting so that they could board their flight. Khushi had still felt upset when they had arrived at the airport, but was now starting to cheer up. She couldn’t wait to get back to India and meet the rest of Arnav’s family.

 

“I can’t wait for you to meet Di! I know for a fact that she is going to love you.”

“I really hope she does.”
“She will! The only person you really have to worry about is mom.”

“Why?”

“Because mom is picky as hell. When she buys something, she needs to look at it for a solid 2 hours after to make sure that it’s perfect, I have no doubt that she will do the same with you.”

 

The idea of Arnav’s mother looking at her in microscopic detail was one that made feel super nervous. What if his mother found a fault in her and said that Arnav couldn’t marry her? What would she do then?

An announcement overhead brought Khushi out of her thoughts. All passengers for their flight could now board the plane.

As the two Raizada’s and Khushi got to their feet, Arnav’s father addressed them both.

 

“So are you both going to be okay to get boarded and then to fly?”

“Of course we are dad!”

“Right then, I’m going to get myself boarded now.”

“Why don’t you wait with us, we can all go on together?”

 

Slapping his hand to his head, Ajay realised he forgot to mention something.

 

“I forgot to tell you, I’m flying business class. You both are just flying economy, so I need to get boarded now.”

“How come you get to fly business class?”

“Because I am a business man and I thought you and Khushi could do with some space.”

 

Arnav mumbled something about it would’ve been great if he and Khushi had been upgraded, but he let it go.

 

*****

 

Once on the plane and seated, Arnav checked out the inflight entertainment, while Khushi made sure she was as comfortable as possible. They were seated beside each other, and the seat next to Khushi was empty.

 

“I don’t think anyone is going to come and sit next to you.”

“That’s alright, it means we have some more space.”

 

Soon the flight was ready for take off. Arnav placed his hand in Khushi as they set off for taxi and didn’t let her go until they high in the sky.

 

“Are you excited about going back?”

“I am, but at the same time I’m not. I’m really, really going to miss Durban and Katie.”

 

Wrapping his arm around her, Arnav pulled Khushi into himself.

 

“Once the wedding plans start moving forward, we can invite Katie and her family to stay with us. We’ll invite them early so they can stay for a long time.”

“Thank you so much for understanding.”

 

Pressing a kiss onto her forehead, Arnav moved back slightly and started fiddling with the TV. They began watching a film, forgetting all about any concerns they may have and just enjoyed each other’s company.

 

*****

 

“Ah, there you two are. I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to find you you again.”

“This is why you shouldn’t have left us dad.”

 

Ajay chuckled as he made his way over to luggage claim. They waited around for their luggage, while Ajay turned his phone back on.

 

“Shyam and Akash are waiting for us at arrivals.”

 

Arnav nodded and turned his attention back to the carousal. He saw his and Khushi’s bags coming so he took them down and then they waiting for his fathers.

 

“Who’s Shyam and who is Akash?”

“Haven’t I told you who’s who yet”

 

Shaking her head, Khushi looked up, waiting for him to explain.

 

“Shyam is my jijaji. Anjali Di’s husband. And Akash is my cousin, my mama jis son.”

“Oh okay. I want to have a rough idea of who is in your family so I don’t look completely dumb when I meet them.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to everyone properly as you meet them.”

“I really, really hope that everyone likes me.”

“You won dad over and in the same way I know you’ll win everyone else over.”

 

She hoped so. The last thing she wanted was to not be accepted by Arnav’s family. She wanted everyone to like her and accept her.

 

*****

 

“Saale Saab!”

 

Arnav’s head snapped up as he followed the sound of the voice. There jumping up and down slightly, he saw his brother in law and his cousin. Seeing them, Arnav felt like a kid again and rushed towards them, giving each a hug.

 

“Jijaji! Akash! How are you guys? I’ve missed you so much!”

“We’ve missed you too bhai!”

 

Walking over with Khushi, Ajay laughed. Shyam leaned down to touch his father in laws feet and Akash did the same.

 

“God bless you boys. I bet you’re all happy to be back together again.”

 

Turning to Khushi he carried on.

 

“These three are like the three musketeers. They do everything together. After Anjali and Shyam got married, the three of them even went to the extent to occasionally falling asleep in the same room. It’s impossible to get them away from each other.”

 

Arnav stepped in at this point and took Khushi’s hand.

 

“Jijaji, Akash, this is Khushi. Khushi, this is my Jiju and this is my brother Akash.”

 

Both men politely greeted Khushi and she did the same in return.

 

“It’s great to finally meet you. Our groupchat has been all about you recently. Arnav can’t seem to talk about thing else.”

 

Blushing, Khushi hid her face slightly in Arnav’s arm.

 

“Aw look, they look so cute together. Rani Sahiba is so excited to meet Khushi. So we really should get going.”

 

Grabbing hold of all their luggage, everyone made their way down to the car park and bundled into the car. Once in the car, they were ready for the off.

 

“Boys, please drop me off at the office. I have some urgent business that’s waiting for me.”

“But babuji, maaji is going to be so mad if we don’t take you home with us.”

“Don’t worry Daamand ji, she’s going to have Khushi to keep her busy. Khushi bitya, I’m sorry to had to do this, but you’re going to have to deal with your saas on your own today.”

 

Eyes widening, Khushi looked to Arnav. What did they mean she’d have to deal with her? What was she going to do?

 

“You guys! Stop scaring Khushi.”

 

Arnav placed an arm around Khushi and squeezed her hand reassuringly.

 

“You don’t need to be afraid of Ma. She’s going to love you.”

“What if she doesn’t?”

 

The men in the car all froze, realising that their words had been successful in frightening Khushi. Akash turned around.

 

“Don’t worry bhabi. We’re all messing with you. Buaji has been super excited to meet you herself. She’s not going to not like you. You don’t even have to worry about that.”

 

Feeling slightly better, Khushi relaxed and sat back, still holding on to Arnav. She thought about everything they’d said and her mind played on what Arnav’s father had said. He’d referred to Arnav’s mother as her saas and Akash had called her bhabi. It seemed as thought they had all accepted her already and she couldn’t help but feel glad. She didn’t want any issues, and she didn’t want to have to deal with anyone disliking her. So far, it seemed that she was off to a great start and she prayed that this remained the case.

 

“Trust me, they’re all going to love you Khushi. Just like I do.”
