Truth or dare... She never liked the game... It made you vulnerable,atleast for a moment. But here she was sitting along with a few of her friends and others from the party they were attending, watching the bottle spin in front of her.

So K,TRUTH OR DARE.

"Dare" her answer obvious.

The girl sitting opposite to her smirked. She never liked Khushi.

"Your mentor is somewhere around here, right? Go PROPOSE him!"

"WHAT?! Are you kidding me?!"

"Well... That's your dare."

Khushi gulped. All the freshers were assigned mentors from PG students. And her mentor... Was not just one of the hottest guys in the college but was also known for his temper. He hated the girls who tried to throw themselves at him. And he said, in not so subtle words that, he is not interested.

She walked towards the group of guys and stood beside him, biting her lips. He turned towards her with a smiling face. "Hey... What's up?"

She took in a shaky breath. Her heart running a marathon within her chest.

"Er.. I.. I... I lov... I love you!" He looked shocked while she tried to escape from the spot. But a grip on her wrist held her in place. She slowly turned around to face him again. His face was blank.

"What did you just say?"

"I.. I.. that.. dare..." She closed her eyes tightly dreading his reaction.

He pulled her to his chest by her waist and captured her lips with his. She opened her eyes in shock but closed it again as he continued kissing her. He coaxed her mouth open and deepened the kiss. "Arnav!" She moaned and felt him smiling against her lips as he left her. He moved a step back with a smirk. She realised that she was leaning on him, as she stumbled forward. She just stood there gaping at him. He leaned in and whispered against her ear. "Go and tell them that you completed your dare." He nibbled her earlobe with that. She couldn't move an inch.

'He just stole her first kiss'

She woke up feeling her core getting stretched. He was growing inside her. But she was too tired to open her eyes. She has no idea when she finally fell asleep the previous night. But he was still inside her that time. Guess he didn't move out, even after.

She felt him caressing her face and moving her fringes behind her ear. He gently kissed her forehead before withdrawing his hard tool from within her, and walked into the bathroom. The clicking of the lock is the last sound she heard before sleep consumed her again.

She woke up to an empty room. She sighed before wrapping the blanket around herself. Her eyes went to the clothes thrown around. They were shredded to such a condition that she couldn't wear them again. She went into the bathroom to freshen up. There was a slight discomfort between her legs but nothing she couldn't manage.

She dropped the blanket and looked at herself in the mirror. Her body was covered in hickeys. She would have a hard time covering them up.

After a relaxing bath she was drying herself off wondering what to wear, when she heard his panicked voice, calling out for her.

"Khushi.... Khu.... Khushi.... Were.. were r you... Pls... Khushi..."

She went out into the room to be engulfed into a tight hug.

"Oh god! Khushi... I... I thought... I thought you left..." He was still panicking.

"Arnav?" He broke apart immediately created a few feets between them, running a hand through his hair.

"I... I'm sorry Khushi...Last night... I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have forced you... I'm rly sry... I don't know what got into me.... I was angry... Rly angry... I couldn't tolerate the fact that he was trying to touch you.... But I was not angry on you.... And I shouldn't have vent out my anger on you... It was not your fault... I'm sry... I rly am... I.... I just can't tolerate when someone else... Khushi... I... I love you... I love you Khushi...."

She lunged forward hugging him close.

He stiffened at the sudden hug, but immediately wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

"I love you Khushi!"

She slightly withdrew to capture his lips. He kissed her back and lifted her in his arms and took her to the bed.

"Let me love you Khushi... Let me erase last night from your memory..."

And with that he made sweet love to her.

################################################################

They were going towards the engagement venue. Aman and Arnav sitting in the front seats, both in suits. She was wearing a lehenga with a high neck choli, which he brought for her, the high neck covering most of the hickeys.

She was thinking about her dream.... Dream??? Who was she kidding? That's one memory, so itched into her mind that she still feels tingles down her spine whenever she thinks about it. It is said that first love is hard to forget. Well so is hatred. The 8 years since the time had changed a lot of things... She was no more the naive girl who had a huge crush on her mentor, who stood rooted to the place minutes after he left the place, who blushed as he winked at her...

"Khushi?"

She was brought out of her revere by Aman. All 3 had gotten out of the car. Arnav was standing a few feet away talking on his phone.

She smiled slightly at Aman and gestured him to move forward. Khushi was about to follow Aman and La when a hold on her wrist stopped her. She looked at Arnav to see him cutting the call.

Arnav: "Khushi??? Are u alright???" He asked stroking her cheeks. "What's bothering you?"

Khushi: "Nothing Arnav... Am just tired..."

Arnav: "we can go back, if you want..."

Khushi: "no!!! Not at all!!! We came till here... We'll go after sometime..."

He nodded before turning around towards the hall.

Arnav left her hand as they neared the entrance and her eyes went to his hand but immediately looked away.

Lavanya was trying to make a conversation with Khushi. She didn't know what to say. And the way Khushi had behaved the first time, she was still confused.

Khushi: "hey lav... What's up?"

L

a: "ha??? Woh main...."

Khushi: "relax ok... It was just the way you talked to me. And well... now I know what triggered that... Don't worry! Aman and me are just friends."

Lavanya blushed at that.

Khushi chuckled: " hey... You look cute... Friends?" She asked forwarding a hand.

Lav nodded and gave get the hand smiling. "But Khushi... I haven't seen you speaking to anyone else like that"

Khushi: "well I guess no one else here triggered me... other than ASR that is... And I can't really talk like that to the boss can I?"

Lav: "and Khushi.... Your designs are superb!!!"

And that made her laugh.

And they continued talking like that. She could feel Arnav's gaze on her the entire time.

"Mrs. Raizada..." She stood there rooted hearing someone exclaim. She could feel the land slipping away from under her feet. No... Not this... Her plans...

She slowly turned around to look at Arnav. He had his eyes fixed somewhere. She followed his gaze with racing heart.

And her eyes stopped at a lady dressed elegantly.

The lady's dress and style. Hair in a tight updo.

Khushi took a deep calming breath seeing the lady. Rathna Singh Raizada. The pillar behind the famous business man Alok Singh Raizada. A ruthless and shrewd business person herself in her late 40s. She thought that someone was referring to Arnav's wife.

Arnav looked at Khushi with a worried expression before walking towards them.

Rathna: "ASR!!!" She forwarded her hand for a handshake.

ASR: "er... Mrs. Raizada..."

Khushi tried hard to contain her chuckle at the formal greeting between the two.

Rathna's gaze shifted to the lady standing beside her son and Arnav rushed to introduce her.

Arnav: "er... This... is my PA... Khushi Gupta..."

Rathna: "PA?" Rathna had seen them together outside and she was not expecting Arnav to introduce the girl as his PA.

Khushi: "er... gud evening mam."

The meeting with Mrs. Raizada was not something she had expected. She came to know that the girl's mother was Mrs. Raizada's friend.

And her mind again drifted back to a memory.

She had started living with Arnav. But no one had any idea about the two. Most knew about the encounter in the party but nothing after that. She was arranging the dinner on the table when he came and back hugged her and started nuzzling her neck and leaving wet kisses on her neck making her moan.

Khushi: "Arnav... Leave me na... Let's have dinner..."

Arnav: "but I'm hungry for something else baby..."

He said slowly raising her top. But she immediately held his hand to stop him.

Khushi: "that's only my husband's right!"

He quickly stepped back, his eyes still on her. He took his phone out from his pocket and dialed a number and kept in speaker phone.

Os: "hey beta... How r you?"

Ar: "hey dad... Doing good... Dad.... Actually.... I want to get married...

Os: "what?"

Ar: "dad i want to get married to Khushi!!!"

She was gaping at him. Her eyes ready to pop out of their sockets.

She heard someone chuckling from the other side.

Os: "can you wait... Or do you want to get married now itself???"

It was his mother now.

Ar(to Khushi): "so you ready to marry now?"

She could again hear laughter from the other side. A flustered Khushi snatched the phone from him.

Khushi: "er... We'll call later..." And cut the call without waiting for the reply.

And glared at him. He yanked her towards him.

Ar: "so..."

Lav: "hey.. Khush.... Were r u from?"

Khushi: "me? I'm from Lucknow"

La: "wow... Lucknow... Have you seen Sheesh mahal?"

Khushi: "ha??? Sheesh mahal?? Ya... I have seen it..."

And the conversation drifted to other topics.

Khushi entered her home to come face to face with her SIL.

K: "hey... Anu... when did you come?"

Anu: "I was here from a few days. But how would you know. You were busy in your business trip, right?" She asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Khushi pouted: "what is this bhabhi(sil)... I'm a sweet girl na... Ur sweety... Pls forgive me..."

Anu: "ok... Ok!!! Stop buttering me now"

Khushi smiled widely at that.

K: "where is Bhai(brother)?"

Anu: "He is a little busy. I thought to take a break. He will be here in a week or two."

That's when Khushi noticed her little niece coming towards them. She went forward and took her up in her arms.

K: "Annie... Mera bacha(my kiddo).... How r you?"

Annie: "Me pine.. Maami (uncle's wife)"

Khushi: "Maami??? Bacha... It's bua(father's sister)... Not Maami..."

Annie: "Maami"

Khu: "what the... Annie... It's bua... Bua"

"Why r you irritating my princess?"

She turned around to see the princess's Maama.

"So you r the one who taught her that!"

"Maybe..." He replied.

"What the hell do you think of..."

No swearing in front of my daughter. Anu interrupted them. And Khushi stomped her foot and walked to her room. And he went behind her to pacify her.

It's been 3 weeks since they returned from their trip. Khushi had practically moved into Arnav's pent house. But something was similar as to how it was in the past. No one knew anything about them.

AR had started losing a lot of deals and everyone where rly tensed. Well not Khushi... She knew what was happening. Obviously she knew, for she was the one because of whom they were losing the deals.

One fine evening Khushi entered Arnav's cabin to see him pacing to and fro. He seemed rly tensed.

K: "hey... Arnav... You ok???" On getting no reply, she continued "it's ok Arnav... Just leave it. It's just a deal...."

Arnav stopped abruptly hearing her. "Just a deal? "

She immediately turned around with tears in her eyes and rushed out of the cabin. But as soon as she was out of the cabin, she smirked, wiping away the tears.

Khu: " hey Sheethal.... How about we go party tonight??? I'm rly happy today and i want to celebrate."

They had became good friends in these three weeks.

"Party? Er.. ok... We'll go to my house and change, before going out..."

Khu: "no it's ok... I'll come pick you."

Shee: "what? You'll pick me?? In your Scooty?"

Khushi chuckled at that. "Just be ready at 7." And she walked away without giving Sheethal any time to react.

Sheethal opened the door to receive the shock of her life or she thought.

Khushi was standing in front of her in a denim shorts and t-shirt.

Khu: "so... Ready to go???"

Sheethal: "ha???? Ha..."

Khushi was enjoying the shocked expression on her face.

Sheethal felt that she was rly going crazy seeing the car parked in her driveway.

Sheethal was standing there gaping at the car. Khushi chuckled before pushing her into the car and herself got into the driving seat.

She stopped the car in front of DARK DREAMS the most happening night club of Delhi.
