CHAPTER 23 – THE FASCINATING CHRONICLES OF THE 'OCEANS' MIX 2.0

Arnav's POV

Next Day – 9:00 AM

My eyes flutter open, on reflex as slight rays of the sun fall in through the curtain drapes of the window right next to the bed of this cozy Caravan, and I shift a little forward and shift the drapes back into its place so that the rays of the sun don't fall on Khushi, as she's still sound asleep in my arms.

And I propel my elbow sideways and push myself up and some reflection of the rays still fall on her eyes, and I can almost see an adorable line of discomfort come up her forehead and so I keep my hand right on top of the rays so as to shelter the rays and that line of discomfort is now gone and she snuggles into me on reflex and I smile to myself – as I just gaze at her in silence for a while.

I had spent hours kissing her mindlessly before we finally dozed off in each other hours.

Sleep is important to me ofcourse – it charges me up, but to be honest I have never experienced a more peaceful slumber than I did last night, with Khushi wrapped up close into my arms.

This was beyond Just Beautiful.

And let me not even get started on all those gobsmacking emotions I felt as she gifted me those two – super precious- five-rand- notes last night, as s gesture from her end to thank me for everything.

She had left me Beyond Speechless and Stunned.

Everything about this girl in my arms was starkingly Pure and Innocent and Loving that it touched those deep strings within my Heart to a Different Level – Altogether.

Just when I think I couldn't fall more in Love with her.

She makes me feel like This World is indeed a beautiful place and because of her, my faiths kind of re-instated in the fact that its because of this purity, innocence, and selfless Love that can exist in people's hearts – that maybe there's still Hope for This World, afterall.

Although I am very Sure – that there was literally No One Like Khushi – in this whole wide world.

And I thank God again, for blessing me with her In My Life.

And truly as I look at her in my arms right now, looking so adorable in her sleep – a sight that id been aching to see in real time for months now – My Heart is Literally Glowing with all this Happiness.

And right then, I see her eyes flutter open and she gives me a sleepy smile as she catches my hand still sheltering her from the rays of the sunlight and I say on reflex – " goodmorning Sunshine.."

She takes my hand into hers immediately and kisses it and she snuggles into my arms and I hug her immediately as she says with a yawn – " you do realise you were just guarding your sunshine..against sunshine.."

That made me chuckle.

Only she can think of the most amusing stuff to say to me even in her sleep.

And she asks softly , still snuggling into me – " whats the time Arnav..??"

My hand shoots to pick up my phone from the window ledge and I see the time and I say – " its 9:00am Khushi..."

And now she sits up in bed on reflex and she gives me a shocked and surprised look , as her eyes have widened up,and she picks up her phone from the window ledge as she looks at the screen as she says – " its 9:00 am really..oh my god..."

And im now watching her really confused and amused, as she sits up on her knees and pulls the drapes of the curtain open and the sunshine falls through on us ans she turns to sit against the window and my heart suffers a major attack.

My Sunshine is Absolutely More Alluring that the rays of the natural Sun.

And I just lean on my elbow as I watch her as shes shaking her head continuously sideways now and her hand too against her neck in a super amusing gesture that people usually use to say – I'm dead,and shes grinning and I am so amused as I ask – " whatttt??"

She says in the most adorable tone – " that's it..i am dea..officially dead..this is not just Carnage ya...this is so unfair..."

And I look at her confused as I ask – " whats not fair Sunshine.."

And now she picks up both her hands in this super dramatic gestures pointing towards me so that her palms face upward as she says in a matter – of -fact tone – " what you are doing to me hoodie guy..that is what is not fair..."

I chuckle as I ask – " okkk..so I have just woken up Sunshine..what did I do??"

She grins and she pulls her rubber band from the window ledge and ties her hair uo in a messy bun as she says – " ohh so you want to know...I shall tell you...",and she picks up her phone and flashes the screen to my face as she says – " its freaking 9:00am.."

I nod with a grin – " yes khushi...the clock strikes 9am everyday..."

She keeps her phone aside, and uses a super dramatic antic of just clutching both her hands into fist excitedly that makes me laugh as she now says – " that's what ok..the clock strikes 9am everyday, but never in all of my Life have I ever not opened my eyes until 9am, hoodie guy...like even on Sundays , its like my open my eyes on reflex like around 630 or 7 am or max 730 am, its another thing that I go back to sleep sometimes after , but what I mean is that I didn't open my eyes for the first time ever like until 9:00 am...Hoodie guy this is insane ok...youv got some crazy magic going on me, I mean look at the way I slept in your arms last night, it feels like I haven't slept this peacefully in forever...",and she now narrows her eyes at me as she points her finger at me as she says – " cmon tell me whats the spell that youv cast on me..??"

I chuckle now again,and I think Khushi can have an excellent prospective career in theatre as well, just wait till she meets my Mom who is an excellent dramatic person herself.

These two are surely going to hit it off.

I cant stop grinning as I say – " well, Khushi , Id like to thank you for that amusing way of expression which tells me that you enjoyed sleeping in my arms last night..",and I tug on her hand a little and lace my hand through hers as I say on reflex – " you are starting to drive me nuts to another level now.."

She gives me a grin as she kisses my hand - " the use of whatever spell you are now casting on both of us, should be forbidden Hoodie guy..im telling you the Ministry of Magic can put you into Azkaban for this sweet torture that you are now starting to unleash on me..tsk tsk..."

And I burst out into giggles again on reflex as I ask – " whattt??????????????? Ministry of magic?? Azkaban??"

She grins as she says, now placing one of her hands on her cheeks and the elbow on her knees as she says dreamily – " I love my harry potter ok..im just referring to that wizarding world...maybe just maybe, I can get you to watch one of the movies with me one day...anyway..the basic underlying meaning is that ..",and she points at me with her other free hand and grins mischeviously – " that you are a wizard hoodie guy..im telling you,...that's who you are in disguise..now I know how you are able to play those crazy shots on the field too, which look like sparks of magic too out of your bat...ohh god...iv fallen in love with a wizard..god help me.."

I chuckle.

God.

She makes me so Happy.

And in this very moment you know what do I feel like?

I feel like -I want her to whisk her away with me forever.

And I know – I will.

One day.

And im still figuring out what to say to her, when she picks up her phone as she looks at screen again and she now hops out of the bed on her knees and before I can catch hold of her hand, she turns around as she says placing a hand on her forhead and she starts patting herself on the center as if shes cursing herself for something and I cant help but laugh again as I ask – " now what????"

She grins – " see see all that magic you are waving at me is driving me more crazy now..i forgot about my promise to make you that cup of coffee, first thing in the morning....i am just going to keep my promise...",and I laugh on reflex as I see her run to the little kicthennete and puts the kettle on boil and then she runs at the speed of light to her suitcase and takes out a little kit – "and I shall be back soon after freshening up as the kettle boils..and then you can freshen up too and I will make us that coffee we both love..."

I nod and she gives me a wonderful smile and runs off into the small ensuite bath.

I cant stop grinning like an idiot.

Yeah.

That's what I feel like right now.

Minutes later, I see her step out and she places the kit on the table next to the c shaped sofa and I pick out my toiletry kit as well and make my way in to freshen up too, and I do give her a kiss on her cheek from the side as I make my way in and she grins at me, and kisses my hand,and I see her starting to work on that coffee.

Minutes later as I step out, I am surprised to not find Khushi there,and just as I place my kit on the table too and am wondering where she is, I see her Head pop in to the caravan from the enterance door as she says with a grin – " statue right there...give me two..no wait..like four minutes..."

I grin,as I shake my head.

But I Listen,and I stand rooted to my spot like a Statue.

And then I see her finally hop into the Caravan and she runs up to me in so much glee and her energy is so infectious that I instantly think shes the wizard now and she takes me by my hand and pulls me out the Caravan out and just as I step out I see that she's laid out Our coffee and some toasts and some buiscuits on that wooden picnic bench with the center table right outside our Caravan,and I continue to smile like an idiot as she shives me into one of the benches and she now plonks herself next to me as she says , now giving me a cup of coffe – " goodmorning Hoodie Guy..."

I grin as I take the cup and I peck her cheek lovingly – " thank you Sunshine..."

And I see her take a sip of her coffee too and now I see her open two mini plastic boxes and she takes a plastic knife as I see her put butter on one toast and then jam on one and she finally put it on top of each other and she turns to me as she playfully raises her eyebrows at me as she says – " I dare you...take a bite..its yummmmm..and incase you don't like it..ill put just butter on for you..."

I grin as i hold her hand and bring the toast to my mouth and take a bite and as I munch on it I say on reflex – " okk...definetly weird..but not bad..i think I can eat this...",and she grins as she hands me my toasts and she now starts making the same combination for herself and once she is done, she bites into it with so much excitement and she grins – " I cant believe you are eating it though...I know it is werid..."

I sip my coffee as I say honestly – " it isn't bad actually...",and I lace a hand around her shoulder and pull her into the crook of arm closer as we continue eating, and sipping our coffee and enjoying the lovely view and the serenity of this calm and quite place.

Like I am in such a happy and peaceful space right now – its bloody fascinating!

And all of a sudden, I feel Khushi burst into giggles and I look at her sideways confused – " ok then...I am crazy to think so..."

And I look at her – " what happened..??"

And she now literally stands up on the bench and then sits on the center table and faces me as she sips her coffee and holds my hand as she says – " so you know sometimes I think when we are just with each other and our silent and not talking, I feel like the silence is not actually silent, as if theres so much communication still going on in between of in all these vibes..in between of us..."

I grin now as I sip my coffee – " oh so you feel that too...good..i thought I was going a little crazy too thinking that..."

Her eyes widened as she grinned – " no way....."

I nod as I grin – " yes way...."

She rolls her eyes at me micheviously and then again makes that I am dead gesture as she says – " I am dead ya...."

I chuckle as I finish up my toast and I lace my fingers in her hand – " ok..so whats the plan??now??"

She bites into her toast too and finishes the last bit and then sips her coffee and then she says excitedly – " so..we get ready..i mean you can get ready first in the meanwhile ill just clean up and stuff and then I get ready and then we head to Cape of Good Hope, its like an hour drive from here, ok? And then we just spend the day there..i have planned lots for us to do there..ill tell you once we reach there...andn once we are done there, we can just drive back here, and just chill here...we can ask them to help us prepare bonfire for us again no..does this sound good to you??"

I nod happily as I say – " sounds perfect..."

She grins now and she sips on her coffee and I see an amusing expression pass through her eyes and I gulp down my last sip, as I fold my arms on her knees as I ask – " tell me the fascinating thought that just crossed your head right now..."

Her eyes widen at me as she says – " no ya..."

I narrow my eyes at her – " khushi..cmon.."

And she finishes her last sip of coffee and she keeps the cup aside and she leans back both her hands on the table and I am still leaning a little forward into her as my hands are folded in a corss on her knees and she just smiles at me now as she says – " so there was time..you know after my CA exams and stuff..and you know like we were talking in all the free time and now that I look back at it it feel like I was sooo into you even back then..i wasn't just realising it how deep..anyway so I had this thought ok..like because I hadn't realise this was love then..so I would tell myself what is this thing that's brewing in between of us and then I would think we are in that space of all that simmering that goes on into making the perfect cup of hot coffee, and then some insecurity would stem up from my brain and make me feel like what if this connection un between of us was just brewing up into a strong flavour only to spill out under that heat and get burnt and not be fit to be served for a drink...",and I clutch on her hand on reflex now and I kiss it she now leans forward into me as she cups the side of my face as she says softly, looking into my eyes – "because right then it would feel like that I am just a misfit ingredient in your life Arnav..and that youd realise it sooner or later and then where would that leave me?? Id just feel like that hot cup of strongly prepped coffee that's been infused with the worlds best coffee beans, standing filled right upto the top of the mug but not be fit for a complete drink because the flavour had something a miss because of some missing ingredient which was realised once a couple of sips were taken..",and she paused and she looked away and then she returned to look into my eyes as she spoke softly – " and now that the topic has come up..i just want you to know that for a couple of minutes I felt exactly like the latter when I saw that Video Arnav..."

And now all of a sudden – because of the roller coater of emotions that this girl makes me feel, my hearts gripped with so much emotion that I instantly stand up and pull her up by the nape of her neck in for a deep kiss.

For there's only one way I can express my emotions to her right now.

For I am speechless, yet again.

And so I just continue to kiss her madly and I break apart a couple of minutes later, because now I want some more privacy with her, and I take her by the hand and walk into the Caravan and just as she steps in behind me, I turn around and shut the door behind us and shes still standing on a step below me as im on the landing up,and I just pull her to myself by gripping on her waist and I dip my head in and take her lips in for another deep prolonged kiss.

And this time – I kiss her the Hardest iv kissed her yet.

So that She Knows!

So that she can sense, the intensity of what I feel for her.

Because even though I have been expressive in words, I think maybe my this Kiss to her can speak volumes more.

And shes starting to respond to me in a way that's unleashing full on carnage on me too,as she steps up at the same time ,and her arms go around me tight as she's now starting to pour in all her emotions , the heavy duty unsaid emotions in between of us into this kiss – that is how turning out to be the most Carnag-ing Kiss in between of US.

I didn't think such a thing was possible.

But.I guess it was!

THIS IS BEYOND OUR USUAL INTENSE!

I just lift her up a little and place her on the little center table in front of the c shaped sofa and I don't let her take her lips away from mine even for a second,as I just loom over her and continue to kiss her insanely and madly.

Just what can I do to make her feel secured about the fact that – she is the only perfect ingredient id ever need in my Life??

And many heated electric moments in between of our Lips , we finally break apart because we unfortunately still need to breathe and shes got her eyes closed as shes still heaving in my embrace like she was the first time I kissed her and shes holding onto my arm for support and she just clutches onto my tee as I now tuck her chin up tenderly with my finger as I say – " open your eyes...Sunshine..look into my eyes and tell me if my eyes tell you anything other than the fact that you are the only perfect ingredient I need in my Life,..."

She opens her eyes finally and looks into mine and I can spot the secured emotion in her eyes now as she whispers softly – " I know now...I mean..when I talked about that..i was just referring to what I felt then Arnav...I know what you mean, I can feel it...its so freaking electric in between if us, Id be crazy to think otherwise now after all these moments in between of us.."

I hug her close and I just kiss her forhead as I say – " I love you khushi...I love you from the bottom of my heart, its very important to me that you are secured about this too..."

She just hugs me back and she now looks up at me as she grins through the tear in her eye and she also winks so that one tear fall and I kiss it away immedtiely and she says with another grin – " why did you have to kiss me like that haan? As if the carnage you unleash on me isn't already enough you Wizard Hoodie Guy.."

I chuckle now and I look at her – " how do you do this..one second im all gripped with emotion and in the next second you make me laugh through it...its like im on a bloody rollercoaster..how do you do this Sunshine..??"

She grins now – " Damm..Serves you right, now you know how it feels..."

I ask on reflex – "what feels?"

She grins as she says – " well you do make me feel like as if im sitting on all the roller coasters in this whole wide world all at once, or sometimes like iv been shot up to the edge of space in like less than one second, oh do you know the very first flutters I felt in my stomach because of you – I used to call them the Ferris wheel and the Columbus...which slowly got converted into the status of a full fleged theme park operation in the pit of my stomach which would start the
