He smashed his fist into his door, stumbling over the scraps and remains of the food he had consumed a few moments ago. Panting, he leaned against the door, straining to not let his mind succumb to his need.
Rabba ve dear Aquiline,
You're''" Kush struggled to find words, and then she gritted her teeth, "I hate you. I always will."
"And I will keep you that way," said Lord Arnav, "I will like nothing but hatred from you."
"Oh really?" she smiled, "Are you suggesting that I should change my tactics then?"
"Do you think I am?" said Lord Arnav casually, crossing his arms before his chest.
Kush blinked, "No, I meant are you'.." She paused and then frowned, "You're snide, you are! Talking in circles and trying to trap me by my own words!"
"Trap you?" Lord Arnav gave a deliciously innocent look and Kush felt her heart skip, "Why would I try to trap a girl who voluntarily makestraps and falls into them herself?"
"I don't," said Kushi in defense, and then to not look at his face, her gaze slid back to the crowd. Lord Akash was nowhere to be found.
"Oh dear goddess mother!" Kush exclaimed, "I hope Amma has not come to know he is here!"
She looked at Lord Arnav, "And you! I am going to make sure nothing horrid has happened and in the meantime, you better find your brother and take him home."
And with that she rushed in the direction of the festival and Lord Arnav stood beside the tree, smiling at the sight of her running away. He knew she wasn't running to save her sister. She was running to escape him.

Chapter One Hundred Sixty Four: Biased Choices
"Why search a gown for me?"
Kushi was appalled. Her mother and Payal had taken her to the pavilion where many costly gowns were being sold.
"Well, we need to look impeccable too, after the bride," her mother said, as she inspected some of the gowns hanging in the room, "And we need white specifically for it is a requisite that the unmarried sister of the bride wear white too like the bride."
"But Amma-" Kushi began but Payal tapped her on her shoulder and Kushi frowned at her, "You are on Amma's side, aren't you Jiji? I don'twant to buy a gown from here. I want it stitched like yours!"
"We don't have time to stitch you a good enough gown, Kushibitiya," her mother said sternly.
"Why can't you get mine stitched where they are doing Jiji's?"
Her mother scowled at her, "Because they are busy perfecting Payaliya's bridal wear. Now don't just stand there are wail away, girl. Come and help your mother choose a pretty one for you."
Sighing, Kushi walked to stand beside her mother, next to a long table on which the many white gowns her mother and his sister had chosen were stacked.
They began trying each gown on her, holding them to her face and analyzing them in full length as she stood with the gown pressed to her front.
Her mother and sister stepped back.
"It's good," her mother said.
"I like the blue ringlets along the sides," said Payal, studying the gown with her mother. Payal looked at Kushi's face, "So how do you like it, Kushi? And do be frank and honest in your answer. I cannot simply let you chose one you can't put your heart into."
Kushi looked down at the gown that was held before her. She looked up as though to answer when she caught a movement behind her family.
Lord Arnav was standing there, disinterestedly frowning at the gowns hanging on the aisle before him.
"No, I don't like it," said Kushi without thinking, and her gaze slid from him to her sister's eager face, "I don't like blue ringlets."
"Alright, let's try another," Payal smiled as she took the gown back and their mother placed another gown before Kushi
They stepped back to study the second choice.
"The red shade makes the gown more exquisite, doesn't it?" Garima suggested to Payal.
"Quite true, Amma," said Payal, "What do you say, Kushi? Do you like it?"
Kushi glanced abstractly at the gown and then looked up to see Lord Arnav eye the gown too but then he looked away expressionlessly.
"No," said Kushi sadly, and after a little shuffling about, another gown was held before her, at the height from below her neck.
"There is an elegance to those violet studs on the white gown, isn't there, Amma?" Payal said.
"Indexed I like this gown!" said Garima, "Do you like it Kushibitya?"
Kushi was watching Lord Arnav but he was scarcely giving her a glance.
"No, I don't."
"But you didn't even look down at the gown," complained the mother.
Kushi looked at her mother, "I…..…looked at it when you picked it up."
She glanced down at the gown nevertheless and also fell in loved the little violet studs. She looked up and saw that Lord Arnav was pointedly not looking at the gown.
She sighed, "I still don't like it, Amma."
"Alright," her mother was beginning to slip into a sour mood, for she sensed that Kushi's rejection of the gowns was probably a deliberate attempt to not get any gown picked from there at all.
Garima took down the violet-studded gown and looked at it sadly, "Such a beautiful gown it is and she can't like it."
I do, but HE doesn't. Kushi pressed her lips together, as she watched her sister pick the next gown and place it before her.
"How about this, Amma?" asked Payal cheerily.
Kushi didn't hear what her mother's response was or her sister's reply to that response. She only saw him.
He was staring at her, lost and bewitched, his burning gaze taking in every inch of her, from the hem of the gown to its neckline as the gown remained held before her. His gaze slid from the gown to her face and she saw how the light in his eyes swirled with rapture.
He neither smiled nor nodded. But she knew. She knew he had liked it.
Payal shook her violently, "Kushi?"
Kushi jerked her head towards her sister, "Yes, Jiji?"
"Amma's asked you thrice already," frowned Payal, "Do you like it?"
"Yes," Kushi whispered and her gaze slid back to where Lord Arnav had stood but he was not there. And yet she could still remember the way his eyes had looked on seeing her behind that gown, "Yes, I love it."
And that is how she came to choose her gown for her sister's wedding night. Little did she know that she would hate that gown for the very reason why she had loved it.
