CHAPTER 21

Hello! So sorry for the delay, it's just been crazy hectic in my life. Between work, family, relatives visiting, friends visiting, special events, and working more overtime because of people falling sick at work..I have barely been home.

But thank you so much for all your patience! I received a few messages from people concerned about me abandoning this story. Don't worry..I won't! This story is completely written as an Adiya fanfic, I just need to do edits and translations for Arishi before posting...which is why it takes me longer to post than normal. But I will complete the Arishi version of this story. Don't worry! And thank you so much for your patience.

Also, thank you so much for leaving your valuable comments and likes! It's very appreciated and lets me know that people are actually reading this story and it means a lot! Thank you!

Now..on to the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

In the limo ride to the premier, Arnav could not get his eyes off of Khushi. Due to their serious conversation earlier and raging emotions, Arnav totally didn't notice how stunning Khushi looked tonight in her purple gown. The silk slid down her slim body like a second skin, and the back of the gown was driving him insane. All he wanted to do was get his hands on her.

Khushi sat next to Arnav in the limo and avoided eye contact with him. She knew Arnav was staring at her and he was doing in shamelessly.

The limo came to a stop and Khushi saw a line of fans and media already at the red carpet waiting for the star of the movie to arrive. Khushi sat up straight in her chair, preparing to get out. "Ready?" Khushi asked Arnav, waiting for him to go out first.

Arnav gave her a once over, "Almost." He simply said. He then reached behind Khushi's head and took out the clip that was holding her hair up in a bun. He watched her hair tumble down around her face and it simply took his breath. It was exactly as he imagined it.

Khushi took a sharp intake of breath when Arnav took her mass of hair and placed it over her one shoulder. She couldn't move, his touch leaving her paralyzed. He moved a strand of hair and tucked it behind her ear as a final touch up.

Arnav then looked at Khushi like she was pure magic, "Bhaal khule zyaada hache lagte hai." He said with a soft smile. Khushi's heart gave a loud thud in response. Arnav then got out of the limo and extended his hand to her. Khushi saw the flashes from the cameras and heard the loud screams in the background. Not knowing what else to do, Khushi placed her hand in Arnav's and got out of the limo. And as they walked down the red carpet, Arnav firmly held on to her hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As expected, the movie was a smashing hit. People discussed the controversial concept of extra marital affairs, but couldn't deny the love story either. Media was already praising the intense acting skills of both the leads and fans were already praising the chemistry.

Khushi now stood in the banquet hall at the after party of the premier. This room mostly has figures from the movie industry with a few high socialite personalities. Khushi currently stood next to Arnav with a group of people chatting. Her skin tingled from Arnav's touch. He had his hand resting on her lower back and on occasion he will trail his fingers up her spine, caressing her. The touch was so simple...and yet so intimate. And Khushi didn't know how to react knowing that his touch was not just for show anymore...it was genuine.

In that moment, there was a little commotion at the entrance. Khushi and Arnav turned to see Yash entered the event with Mithelesh ji by his side. Khushi's jaw dropped a little...this can't be happening right now. She felt Arnav stiffen next to her and she looked at him. She saw his smile falter, but he covered it up so fast that Khushi almost missed it.
