My Imperfect Mr Perfect Chapter 19

Khushi gripped his shirt tighter, reluctant to leave him. But only then did she realise that it wasn't dark anymore. She was too engrossed in explaining her outburst to Arnav that she didn't realise that she could actually see Arnav's face clearly now in the light.

Still standing close to Arnav, clutching his shirt just in case, Khushi looked around to see a room she didn't recognise...

Where were they?

****************************************************************

Khushi looked around to find herself in some sort of classy bedroom, quite similar in style to their room in RM.

Whatever she was expecting, it definitely wasn't this. I mean come on! Who would expect to end up in one of the most luxurious rooms after coming through a dark, dirty (and probably old) passageway?!

She had to admit that it kind of made her feel better though - it felt like she was safe here. Or to be more precise it gave her the impression that Arnav had this all under control. But there was still a small part of her which wanted the reassurance from the horse's mouth.

"Hum kahaan hai Arnavji? (Where are we Arnavji?)" asked Khushi.

Arnav was finally able to sigh in relief at having reached this room. Now he was sure that they were safe. No one would be able to find them - unless they find the secret tunnel. But that wouldn't happen. He had made sure of it by opening the kitchen window back in RM as a red herring for the goons. And plus there was no way they would suspect such a tunnel in the first place.

"Arnavji? Where are we? Are we safe now?" asked Khushi, now getting more anxious with Arnav not answering.

That's when Arnav noticed the worry on Khushi's face. And in that second, he felt horrible for putting her through this. She didn't deserve any of this. She was an innocent girl who was going on with her simple life happily. She had done nothing to deserve this mess in her life.

The least he could do was try and help her out without giving her much pain, but here he had done the exact opposite. She had been on the verge of breaking down after finding out they were surrounded and he had hardly done anything to console her. He had just ordered her and let her drown in her worries. The situation had demanded his complete attention but that doesn't change the fact that he had been a bad friend' to her.

He may have failed before, but he was determined to make up for that now.

"Khushi we're safe. You can relax now," he said softly. And Khushi did relax.

But Arnav wasn't done - he needed to apologise. So he cupped her face tenderly, and said sincerely, "I know I scared you back there and I was hardly responding to you, but I just needed to make sure we were out of there safely and quickly. But it was still horrible of me to do that to you... and I'm s-s-sorry for that. I know you've been worried sick but trust me, everything is fine now. I own this place and hardly anyone knows about it. No one will find us here ok?"

And Khushi could only nod in response as tears clouded her vision. They've come so far in these few weeks since they had met. When she had first met Arnav he had been a mere stranger. Yes there had been a small part of her that had wanted to trust him and yes she had felt attracted to him as she had never been to any other man before, but there was nothing beyond that. But today... He meant so much to her. And she knew that friend' didn't even cover it. He was... he was her EVERYTHING.

She couldn't imagine life without him anymore - if there was such a place without him and her together, then she wouldn't want to live in it. Today's experience had taught her that much. When she knew that they were trapped, her first fear was being separated from HIM. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see him again if they took her - and she couldn't think of a worse way to die. She didn't know when he had come to mean so much to her, but it's the undeniable truth. Khushi can't exist without Arnav. She still couldn't fathom out what these feelings meant, but she knew that Arnav was important to her - more than she could ever explain.
