CHAPTER 40 – AND OUR FOREVER BEGINS..!

ARNAV'S POV

We are about to finish with our crazyyyyy victory celebrations against the CHAMPIONS board and I am thrilled beyond Words.

Well the Word Just Thrilled Would be an Understatement Surely!

I think I should use the phrase – Thrilled to the edge of Planet Krypton!

Hahaha!

And oh Boy – I am also very very Happyyyy!

Happy to the Edge of Planet Krypton too!!

Or Maybe even that bit is an Understatement !

Happily Stumped to the Edge of Milkiway – Perhaps would be a better one!

Haha..thank you Sunshine!

Trust you to give me the best of phrases to borrow for my crazy inner thoughts overdrive!

Okkk so obviously it's not going to be News to any of you the reason behind all this thrill and Happiness!

I mean we won the T20WorldDammFreakingCup – the only medal I did not have in MY Kitty and then to my luckier luck I was also chosen for the Man of the Tournament award!

The minute all of this had happened, in my heart I Knew that this was Khushi's pure Love and powerful prayers for me being answered!And I was totally wanting to dedicate it to Her in front of the Whole Wide World and I am glad that I had been able too.

Thank YOU Sunshine!

MY GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT PRECIOUS AND PURE SUNSHINE!

I AM Kind off MORE THRILLED AND HAPPY To be Finally able to put that Ring on Your Finger too and that too in front of the Whole Wide World – It had been in the Works for Months with my Familys jewellers because those One carat Coffee coloured deep brown diamonds were very very difficult to source because I had told Mom that I want those Diamonds to be the exact shade of the Coffee Bean!

OK SOO GUYS – THE RING I HAD IN MIND FOR MY SUNSHINE HAD A DEEP SINGNIFICANCE IN BETWEEN OF US!

I SHALL EXPLAIN.

The GOLD coloured Ring band to start as a base because Dude – She is My Sunshine! Dont I always say – She is the Sun of MY Life! So the Gold to symbolise the warm yellow Ray's of the Sun!

Then comes that entire engraved line of Ten One Carat Coffee BEAN coloured Deep Brown Diamonds each of whose colour I cross checked my very own self to make sure they were all the same and they were engraved all over this golden band! And guys why did I choose a coffee bean coloured diamond – because it's obviously a significance of the most beautiful moment in time when Khushi proposed me with that COFFEE bean!

And then Of course for the Center Peice – I had chosen a 5 Carat Heart Shaped Rock Diamond Solitare because Khushi is my Heart Guys – that was the Shape of the Diamond I wanted to put on her hand!( well to be Honest guys I had originally wanted to make that a 7 carat peice but then Mom was like Khushi needs to wear this everyday so a 7 carat peice might just overwhelm her so maybe give her that as a gift later on the wedding night in another beautiful princess cut shape – and think of maybe a smaller carat heart shaped diamond peice for this engagement ring and so me,Mom and Anjali and Dad agreed that the 5 carat Heart shaped Diamond would be the best size for this and I know the 5 carat stone has also overwhelmed Khushi...it was in her eyes the minute her eyes fell on the ring..but too bad Princess now is My Time to Pamper You Insane and I will – I have waited for these Moments for So Long..)

And I was really glad that I had asked Mom to get this with her to The Stadium because my earlier plan was to head to Cape Town straight from the stadium – because in my Head initially I had planned to take her to Cape Point on her bday and then propose!

But after all that I had discovered and felt deep within my heart and soul before the Start of the Second Innings – I had a change of plan in my head because I felt that for My Sunshine I wanted to go down on my knee and ask her to be MY Wife – right in front of the whole wide world and for them to record my crazy declaration of endless Love for My Sunshine! I dont mind them Calling me a Goner In Love anyway like my Dad said – When a Raizada Loves we dont shy away from it and the world hears about it in all its Glory!!

And boy I was beyond thrilled to the edge of Galaxy Milkiway at being able to do just that and I was glad that Khushi had given me her consent of revealing her identity for that made me even more thrilled and excited and happy about this!

My Sunshine is still Stumped though!

Did you all see how she's just been stumped to A Trans of a Silence ever since I held out my hand to her in the Staand Row ,then how she walked beside me dazed silently as I held her hand and met all of her near and dear ones and then ofcourse she was shaken beyond words and me handing her my man of the tournament trophy and then ofcourse her heart was UpperCut to the edge of Milkiway after the proposal and that is why I knew she could only get a few sentences out of her mouth with a lot of difficulty because she was obviously very overwhelmed ,but I was Happy because I knew that her this dazed Silence is a very Happy One..that I had sensed immediately,and because I know her through and through I knew she was going to be stunned into that silence for some more time!

Godddd!!

Theres nothing more I want right now to Just be Alone with Her!

But keeping in mind the situation with our families too having Just Met – I know I was going to have to Wait On that!

Darn!

I need to kiss her!

And I need to kiss her Bad and Hard!

There was Probably nothing that would be gentle about my touches and Kisses on her Tonight when I had her alone with me because The Passion that I feel for her within was anyway crazy but now it's gotten INSANELY fuelled further by all this power of Love to the Edge of Milkyway even!

Haha!

I shall Carnage You to Milkyway Sunshine!

Just you wait!

Just you wait!

God can I run to her Already and scoop her in my arms and Disapparate with her straight into Privacy?

Haha!

I know I know I just used the Harry Potter Reference of the WORD disapparate!

Insaner who?

Insaner Me Dammit!

Insaner Me!

And

Goddamiit YOU Sunshine!

Goddamit You!

My chain of inner thought is now broken as we finish the victory celebrations and all of US now hand the Cup to Cap to Hold and the rest of us the team get into another group hug again and then we celebrate a little bit more with our entire Support Team, and out of the corner of my eye in a little further vision by the Dug outs – I see my entire Family stand together and they are obviously smiling and cheering us on just like all the rest of my teams family members and I am overwhelmed with To-the-edge-of-milkiway-Happiness to see Khushi's near and dear ones there too right next to her and on the other side of her is Mom,Dad and Anjali and my heart swells with emotion and I try to look closer to catch onto Khushi's expression again and get her eyes to lock with mine across the ground,right when I feel a hand on my shoulder from behind and I turn around to see my Coach Das Sir smiling at me as he asks- " well I know you are still angry at me deep in there, but how about you let me give me you a hug too son...I am very happy for you and Khushi right now..I truly am...and I apologize to you with all my heart all over again for the judgement of error For a moment in time.."

I take a deep breathe and I recall how this man has been my mentor for all these years ever since he stepped into our team as Head Coach and I cannot deny the fact that I have learnt so much from him in all these years too and so even though I am still angry at him within, a anger that i know will only settle down once I talk it out with MY Sunshine and apologize to her for this from my side too – I nod at him in silence and he hugs me now and I remember seeing MY sunshines text replies to him and her humility and kindness towards him despite of what he did to her – and I hug him back too briefly and he pulls apart minutes later as he says with a sheepish smile – " we will be able to sort this out ASR..I know...let's give it some time.."

I nod silently.

And right then I feel Shiv and Kunal jump to either of my sides as they give me a mischevious look and Shiv grins and says – " you surely can stage up an act ASR..the minute your WiFi's face came up on the screen it's like I was Gaping at Kunal in far vision for he was in the stands closer to where I was and we both realised that you also put up a brilliant act in front of us in the uber the other day along with Ravi...for he obviously knew.."

And I now see Ravi come up to us and we get into a group hug and Ravi winks at me – " oh boy was that fun..I am sure Khushi is still going to kill me for teasing her then..why do u think I havent gone in front of her yet...haha.."

I chuckle on reflex and Shiv and Kunal – " and we are all meeting her tonight at the afterparty surely..she will come to celebrate with you wont she???"

I grin as I admit – "i have to ask her that hoping with all my heart that she will join in and hopefully she should be out of the daze I put her in today...she was still stumped speechless when I walked here for celebrations.."

Ravi winks- " and I am sure she still would be in a daze I mean why wouldnt she be??that was sensationally epic.."

Shiv and Kunal grin at me and they say – "happy for you man so happy for you.." ,and the rest of my team mates now start to congratulate me too for the development in my personal space and I grin now and we all start to walk towards the dug outs now and I hug Cap again and he then hands over the Cup to the boys to hold and they start shooting and cheering again and another picture session begins and Cap and Me stand and watch that grinning and he says giving me a side hug and patting my shoulder again – " and to say that I am happy for you my brother would be an understatement...and I know you know that..", and he paused as he looked at me seriously now – " coach told me about everything that happened ASR..everything he did months ago and what ordeal he put Khushi through and a brief of all that she did to cope up with it too and then how whatever happened in the locker room in between of him and You before the second innings and I want you to know that I was furious too when he told me about it for it was totally unfair to your personal space, and I told him that that even though cricket is a major part of our lives...it is not life on the whole and theres more to life than that..so I Understand your anger and I want you to know that you can come and talk to me about it whenever you want too because obviously this is an awkward spot for us for he is still going to be our Coach so whenever you feel you need to vent out a frustration that you cant channelise towards him for obvious reasons..come talk to me..",he pauses and i nod at him silently and hug him silently in a gesture to thank him for his support and he pulls back now and he gives me a warm smile – and I'm glad that Khushi steered things this way for you positively,and I know how deeply you feel for her and i know you might be fighting the urge to punch COACH sir surely..and not that you already dont know about this but you know how I often use the punching bag as a rescue to vent out frustration sometimes and it helps greatly..", he finishes with a playful wink.

I chuckle now and we share a laugh and now I see the entertainment reporter rush up to me and I gesture to Cap on with the rest of the team and I gesture to him that I will just have a word with her and I am kind off glad she does not have her mike on her or the camera person behind her and she grins at me as she says with a lighthearted smile – " and what a brilliant way to declare your love and your Wifi's identity to the world ASR...none of us could ever have imagined it..it was epic and I was probably the happiest out of the reporters covering it but I was kind of bummed that you didnt reveal your Wifi's mysterious identity through me..and I was wondering if we could get a byte from the two of you specially right now maybe about five minutes because I am sure just like me the world is curious to know a little more of the background to that code word of Hoodie Guy..as in where did you guys meet the first time, why did she think you are a prospective thief,what happened after, it sounds very intriguing..."

I chuckle and I admit with a smile – " well our story is definitely intriguing but I need to discuss this with Khushi first as in how she feels about this and even if she would be ready to talk about it a little it wont definitely be possible right now because she's extremely overwhelmed anyway..and I will not want to put her in front of a mike to the media.because that will make her a little uncomfortable because all of this is extremely new to her so please if you can cooperate with me on that and I promise you one thing though whenever we are ready to talk about our story..we will talk to you first..."

She grins – " ok ok..I understand ASR and we all know she is stumped speechless it was on her face throughout only natural and I respect your space...so I will take on your word then..if you ever talk to anyone about your story it will be me first.."

I nod with a smile – " surely..and thank you so much for your cooperation.."

She grins- " oh but the act you pulled is surely going to be my big story tomorrow along with the cover on the WORLD cup win ofcourse..probably the only two things entire India and maybe half the world will be talking about tomorrow anyway..I mean amongst themselves they already are..surely.."

I chuckle at that as I admit – " yes that we both already know..now if you'll excuse me..I gotta catch up with my Wifi.." , I finish with playful wink.

And I grin to myself now as I make my way towards everyone with the remaining of my team mates who were still celebrating on the ground and just as I near everyone, I can't help but grin to myself at the sight of Khushi standing in the middle of my family and hers as they are all now gathered in a circle and she has her back to me and as I near them I see and hear Ravi now introducing himself to all of Khushi's near and dear ones and then being usually mischevious with Anjali as he also tells Khushis near and dear ones that he was more than just a buddy to me because he loved my sister which came as a surprise to all of them again and also earned Ravi an embarrassed whack on his arm from my sister, but beaming looks from my parents because they know that these two are now giving themselves a serious thought and now I see and hear that Mom is back to chatting up with Khushis aunty asking them about their planned return time to Cape Town for tomorrow and Anjali with Zara and Diya as she discusses the thrill they all had from their stand watching me shock and surprise the daylights out of them all..and Dad is busy talking to Uncle and Rahul about how impressed he was with Khushi's concept of Hit Wicket Your Tongue,Asher ,Zain,and varun are chatting amongst themselves And Asher and Zain were laughing as Vatun was still dramatically being excited about the fact that he couldnt beleive he'd been taking up orders on dishes to my name without knowing the real reason behind it all and just the entire warmth in the scenario warms my heart and oh just in case any of you are wondering why my near and dear ones and especially Khushi is not being hounded by the Media right now is because I asked Ravi to help me take care of that and had sent a special request to the reporters that no one should come and try to pry into Khushi's space at the moment because she is obviously overwhelmed by all that had happened and I had asked Ravi to tell the media to be happy about the fact that they already had a lot to cover and write about and that is why Ravi was at the ground helping me take care of all that before Khushi stepped out on it with everyone.

Ravi is more than a buddy he is always been a brother and that is why even when things went down hill in between of Anjali and Him..anjali always asked me to keep my equation intact because she knew he was one of my bestest friends. And anyway now I think the way the things are progressing in between the two as in Ravi and Anjali..he might become my brother in law soon!

Haha!

I now seeee Ravi pull Khushi to the side away from everyone and because I'm hovering nearby just watching the scene from ears distance - I hear him mischeviously ask Khushi – " khushi am I still getting killed for that fun I had with you in the uber the other day??anjali said I should have recorded your expressions..haha.." ,and I hear Khushi chuckle now as she reply– " maybe Ravi..let me give you an answer to that in a bit as i focus on restarting my VOICEBOX a little..its like I'm still stumped speechless...I was even telling Aranvs mom and dad that..that please forgive me for the daze I'm still in...",she finishes with a chuckle.

And I now grin as I walk up to them from behind and I lace my right hand with Khushi's left one immediately and i bring it up to kiss it briefly ,which startles her immediately and also makes her turn sideways as she look into my eyes and both our eyes are swimming with a zillion emotions as our eyes lock and I ask softly – " you ok??...", and I pull her into a side hug immediately by placing my arms over her shoulder tucking her close into my side and she hugs me and then looks up to meet my eyes again in an intense eye lock as she gestures to me with her hand near her throat that her VOICEBOX is still crashed.

Which makes me chuckle and I kiss her forehead again and Ravi grins as he says- " so as you wanted brother, I made sure the media and the reporters didnt get anywhere around Khushi as she stepped on the ground...but dude once we get to the hotel...theres going to be some crazy frenzy right outside I am sure.."

Khushi now looks at me and she gives me her priceless smile – " you asked Ravi to..",and she paused as she just hugged me again from the side silently and I just kissed her head again as I admitted – " well I know you dont I sunshine..I know you are already overwhelmed..and I am so not having anyone shove a mike in front of you right now..you know I want to enjoy the thought of me being the only one to shove a Mike to you in public..you know like I did it in the stands..", I finish with a chuckle.

Ravi gives me a wink as he gestures to me that he will be with everyone now and oh just in case any of you are wondering why his family members aren't here it's because his mother thinks it's her luck charm if she doesn't come to the stadium to watch a semi or a final game to watch her son play and just watch it from her usual position at home..his family does come to watch the matches often but it is always in the initial stages of tournaments or series never in crucial ones.And so they
