PART-61

"WOW!Its so pretty!"Khushi choked,her eyes brimming with tears as she undid the gift wrap.She ran her fingers through the subtly silk of her dress and inwardly commended ASR's perspicacity.

"Did you like it?"ASR asked nervously biting his lips nervously.

"Of course!How could I not!Its simply so elegant and so beautiful!I love it!"Khushi nearly laughed at his idiotic question.

"So,wear it."

"Now?"

"Of course.I want to see you in it."ASR was adamant.

"Ok!I'll change."Khushi agreed,smiling at the look of pure joy that lit his face at her agreeing to wear.He is so much like a child!Who would say he's the same ruthless ASR who makes criminals pee in their pants with his fierceness if they were to see him now.Khushi thought amusedly as she pecked his cheek gently and got up.

ASR waited impatiently for her to come out.She seemed to rake a lot of time and he wasn't actually known for his patience.Just as he was about to get up and knock on the door of the room where she had disappeared,she came out,bringing him up short.He gaped at her speechless,spell-bound.

Her skin was cream and roses,highlighted by the couture gown that suited her perfectly,emphasizing her curves tantalizingly.Even though she had donned no make-up,her face glowed with an ethereal sheen,the slight blush on her face completing the sight.The gown flowed down her body like an inverted   calla lilly and looked utterly graceful even though khushi was motionless.Her long hair caressed her face,her tresses framing her face as she stood there shyly,peeking at him from under her thick lashes.

"Khushi!"ASR croaked.He had no recollection of when he moved towards her,yet now he stood before her.He raised his hand and cupped her face.Khushi sighed. Suddenly he pulled her closer.

"Do you have any idea,how breathtakingly beautiful you are?Its almost a duress, a felony!I'm feeling as if I've died and reached heaven!"He whispered in her ears,making her shiver.

"Arnavji I...."Khushi tried to speak,but got distracted by the look in his eyes. It was so gloriously intense that she could stare at it all her life,yet have no recollection of time.But being the prankster that she was,she wasn't going to give in so easily.Besides he deserved punishment for hurting her!Suddenly something caught her eyes and she smirked inwardly.

"Arnavji I love....."She trailed off with perfect dramatic effect.ASR eyes glinted with anticipation,his heart bursting with bliss.Finally they were going to confess! Even though they knew that they were madly in love,they had never confessed and now he desperately  wanted to hear her say those magical words!

"Yes khushi?"

"Arnavji I love,I loved the movie Aashiqui 2 and want to watch it again!"She yelled in his ear and ran away giggling.

ASR stood rooted to the spot dazed.She had tricked him!Fine!Two can play a game!She was going to pay for it.

Khushi slid in the DVD and switched on the T.V.She sat down on the couch,studiously avoiding ASR's gaze,pretending to concentrate on the T.V. Suddenly she felt something smooth tickle her cheekbone an at the same time a pair of warm hand ensnared her.

So for the rest of the evening it continued as ASR distracted her flirtatiously by kissing and cuddling her,inflicting his sweet torcher.

Khushi was doing her penance!
