SS My Heart Is Yours - Part 5

Hola Peeps 

Okay so this week as promised , its MHIY anf LIDV updates  now when it comes to this SS, its not just a HM SS of Arhi, I have loads planned for this one, HM symbolises the start of a couple's journey together in marital bliss, romance is there all around but its also about discovering each other, and so along with a lot of romance , there will be a lot of insightful moments into their life in this one, ASR isnt merely KKGSR's hubby and same goes for Khushi,she  isnt Mrs.ASR alone, she is Mrs,Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada and true to her name she will have an identity of her own, and her husband will be there with her at every step as she discovers the world in her own style and so will ASR, who with his wife will enjoy everything that he missed out on throughout his life !! 

this update is specially for Ananya ( Cherrybloom ) & Manal ( fireball , the banner is just wow !! ) 

Arnav broke apart from the kiss a few minutes after the flight had taken off , leaving an absolutely breathless Khushi blushing to her roots , Arnav winked at her before pulling the curtains aside to show her that they had already taken off, making Khushi gasp !

" Dammit I missed the take  off !! " cursed Khushi as she rounded on her husband who was grinning at her ,

"you always do this Arnav ! you always distract me and I keep missing out things I wanted to see " pouted Khushi as Arnav looked at her amused , he tucked away a loose strand on her forhead as he pulled her closer ,

" Is it my fault Khushi that you always loose track of your surroundings when I am around ??? " asked Arnav , putting up his I am innocent baby face which he knew would further instigate Khushi  who had aptly turned red as she heard her husband.

"Is that even a question Arnav ?? each time you ... " Khushi trailed off as she realised with a jolt what she was about to say and quickly turned her head away but Arnav wouldn't let his wife shy away from him , he turned her around to face him , cupping her face in his palms ,

"each time what Khushi ?? Dont hold back princess , Tell me .. what do I make you feel ?? " asked Arnav while Khushi lost herself once again in his molten pools , how could she resist a request from Arnav ? She could never shy away from anything when it came to him ,

" Each time you are near ..

Each time you come close ..

Each time you touch me ..

When you are around ... I forget everything and everyone else in our world Arnav , its only you that I can see , you that I can feel , and I have no complaints Arnav , I might tease you but the truth is that, to be with you , I can miss out on everything else, nothing keeps me happy more than spending time with you and thats all that matters !! "  came out Khushi's soft but clear reply which didn't fail to overwhelm Arnav who immediately crushed her into his arms !!

Whispering  words of love and a lifetime of promises he held her close for a while before he eventually pulled away , deciding to introduce Khushi to the world of luxurious flying , they spend a good while of time gazing out of the windows to watch the clouds drift by , Khushi watching them like an excited child, it was hard not to believe that they weren't flying towards heaven, flying through clouds , surrounded from all sides by nothing but the blue sky, it felt like a whole new different world !!

Suddenly the flight jerked and Khushi panicked, she looked at Arnav , fear- stricken , seeking out his assurance , just then the flight dropped altitude yet again but Arnav pulled her close, he immediately fastened the seat belt around her firmly and then did his own and held her close while caressing her back , slowly drawing circles on her back as he tried to soothe her tension ,

The flight was losing altitude bit by bit but Arnav who was a frequent flyer immediately guessed the problem as Khushi turned to him ,

"What is it Arnav ??

why are we losing height ??

why is the flight going down ???

Are we going to crash ??  " Khushi questions were never ending but Arnav placed his fingers on her lips ,

"Ssshh Jaan , please relax, nothing is going to happen and we are definitely not going to die !!

This is quite common while flying Khushi, its caused by bad weather, the flight at times because of bad weather conditions will fall into air pockets, which causes turbulence in the flight , causing it to shake and loose altitude !!

Soon the pilot will be notifying the passengers about it and all we have to do is fasten our seat belts so that we don't loose balance because of all the shaking !!

And in some cases , people feel like they are about to throw up but thats all Khushi , there is no need for you to worry !!  " assured Arnav as he held her close as she visibly relaxed in his arms.

Soon the flight became stable once more as the outside weather got better , Arnav had taken the menu card and handed it over to Khushi , explaining her about the various delicacies available, Khushi scrunched up her eyebrows in confusion ,

"Arnav , I often wonder, all the 5-star hotels in our country , such flights , now if we take this flight for example, its taken off from India, the flight carries mostly Indian passengers and yet most of the food items in their menu are all international cuisines !!

Why is it so ?? why are they so reluctant to serve us Indian food ??

If we were someplace else, I would have understood but in a flight full of India travellers thats taken off from Delhi and yet we are served foreign dishes !! Why ??

Is our culture and tastes too mediocre in comparison to the rest of the world ?? " 

Khushi innocent yet thought provoking question left Arnav speechless !!

He knew she had raised a very valid topic, he himself had never really taken notice of it , having done his university education from Harvard and having travelled places all around the globe thanks to the globetrotting nature of his job , he had never been really affected by such thoughts but his innocent little angel had noticed and he knew why it had been brought into her attention.

Khushi being raised in a middle class atmosphere , in simple surroundings, he knew it had taken a lot of time for her to adjust into his world of exterior sophistication , his job , his working style and pattern , it was all new to her and yet with time she had moulded really well !!

She had realised that despite all the wealth and power, her husband was still as much Indian as she was, deeply rooted in his culture, true that he had never believed in love and marriage before she came into his life but for him , his family always came first , his heart despite his hard demeanour had always been delicate and sensitive when it came to his family and Khushi had understood him for what he was !!

If ASR, the powerful enigmatic business man was as he is known to the world , then Khushi had also discovered the Arnav hidden inside him and she had loved and accepted Arnav & ASR equally, she had accepted both the shades of his heart in a way no one else ever could !

He looked at Khushi who waiting for him to speak ,

" Khushi , if someone had asked me this question before you walked into my life, I would have ignored it , wouldn't have bothered to even think about it !!

But you have unlocked my heart Khushi , ASR has always been alive but Arnav was hidden in the deep dark corners of my heart and its you who made Arnav feel alive again.

You discovered the Arnav who years to love from his heart and its from that heart I am speaking love.

You are right, Indian culture is often treated as an amusement by the world today , our country is considered as a place where foreigners come for vacations and they ogle at us and our customs as though its something primitive and from another era.

Everything about us , is treated as a rarity , like it can only be seen here and not anywhere else.

But thats not true sweetheart, like any other nation , we have our unique culture but the image of our nation as propagated by the world is such that , we aren't people who should be made a model off, we are treated mostly like a tourist attraction !!

And this is a reason why I fight so hard to establish AR as a solely Indian company in the world of fashion , no collaborations with foreign brands. Everything that we do , it should be purely on our talent and merit , as much as we release new collection every year for every season, I also make it a point that our Indian  heritage is also given equal importance in our collections !!

But not everyone feels so Khushi, majority of the Indians are only too happy to shed their tag of being Indian and embrace a new culture , purely because it makes them part of a superior and better developed society.

What they forget is that , the developed countries we see today , they were all once like us , and soon India will also spread its wings and carve out its own unique identity in the global map !!

But till then this sad plight will continue where Indians themselves will fixate themselves to everything foreign whilst they could have treasured their own culture which is as beautiful as any other culture in this world !! "

Khushi had been listening to her husband in rapt attention, his every word leaving a profound sense of understanding, she had thought that her question had been a simple one but the answer it gave her was something she knew she wouldn't be able to understand very soon. The world was much more complicated that she thought, it was a double edged sword and she knew that she was very lucky that she had her Arnav to guide her through the darkness, to make her understand the complexities of a life that she had imagined to be plain and simple. She cuddled closer into his arms , her face close , her breathing sending warm air blowing onto his neck , she whispered softly ..

" Arnav , I am not sure I will ever understand or perceive the world as you do, its so complicated and I don't understand how people can live forgetting their own roots and culture,

the place where they were born ,

the place where they grew up ,

the place that shaped them as they are today ,

How can they just leave behind all that and adopt an entire new world as their own ??

Isnt that a lie in itself ??

Leaving behind your real identity and adopting some other identity which no matter how hard you try will never be fully yours !!

This world can be crazy at times and I am not sure I want to be part of that craziness Arnav !!

My world is all  about you Arnav , you and me together forever , in this life and for all our coming births , our children, our families, thats all that matters to me !!

Aap Mein Aur Hamaari Chotti Si Duniya !! ""

Arnav held his princess unbelievably tight in his arms as the words poured out , the purity of her love and emotions astounding him all over again, she was infinitely precious to him and he promised himself that he would always treasure her , cherish her, always ensure her happiness before everything else in his life.

He looked deep into her eyes .. his love for her

as deep as the calmness of the oceans,

as fierce as the raging volcanoes of the universe,

as passionate as the rays of light powered by the blazing sun ,

as tender as the stars of the night sky,

as pure as the beauty of mother nature,

as raw as the earthy essence of the primal man who loves his woman with every fibre, every cell , every beat of his heart.

"I promise You Khushi, you and me , hamesha and forever !! "
