Authors POV

After 10 days...

Arnav was getting ready to go to work when he received a call from Payal.

"Hello, Payal," Arnav said as he picked up the call.

"Arnav," Payal's panicked voice alerted all his nerves.

"What happened, Payal?" Arnav asked tensely.

"Arnav, That-Naina---," she hiccupped.

"What's it, Payal?"

"Come to our house immediately," she said, and the line went off.

He tried to call again, but her phone was switched off. He called Naina's and Pooja's number as well but they both are not picking up. His tension has no boundaries that his heart raced insanely.

He took the car keys and ran out in a panic not bothering to take his coat.

He drove to their area and stopped car at the entrance of their street as the whole street was filled with people.

He didn't understand what was happening there.

Just as he got down the car, a bunch of kids ran to him.

"Come, Jija ji," one of the girls came forward and held his hand and started walking, dragging him while all the kids followed them with giggles.

They walked through the crowd and reached Naina's house and there stood Naina on the road facing her back to him.

The kids left his hand and ran away. He slowly walked to her; his racing heart didn't calm down yet. It only calms down after confirming she is safe and sound.

"Butterfly?" he called as he put his hand on her shoulder slowly.

She turned around with a beautiful smile. He inspected her head to toe to confirm nothing happened to her. She is safe, wearing a white Anarkali and beautiful ornament called a smile on her lips.

"Are you alright? Why didn't you pick up my calls? And why Payal called me?" he tried to ask her in a slow voice.

"Happy Holi, Hero," she exclaimed and put color on his cheeks and flower petals started falling on them and he heard people roaring "Happy Holi."

He looked up and there stood Pooja & Ajay and Payal & Avi with flowers in their hands throwing on them. All of them are smiling but Arnav glared at them before shifting his gaze to Naina.

"You planned it?" he asked her dangerously low. His expression is telling her that he is mad.

"You think this is a joke? Do you know how worried I was?" he yelled.

"It was their plan. I already told them to not do it but-" she stuttered, unable to continue under his hard gaze.

"Sorry, Arnav," she said timidly.

"Don't pull this again," he remarked and pulled her into his embrace and kissed the top of her head, calming his racing heart in her warm embrace.

"Looks like the beast calmed down," Ajay commented.

"Your beast is nothing in front of our beauty," Avi chuckled.

"Don't call my brother a beast," Payal remarked and they all laughed.

"You put color on me and it's my time," Arnav said teasingly.

"But you don't have color with you," she raised her eyebrows challengingly.

"I do, babe," he smirked and she blinked nervously as his gaze was making her feel the things which are not appropriate to feel now.

He slowly bent down to her level and rubbed his cheek to her cheek resulting in his color on her cheek.
