Part11

Khushi returned back to RM with Arnav and Arvind. She hugged Ratna before going to their room. Ratna amazed at her action and Arnav rolled his eyes smilingly. Khushi came down after some minutes to help Ratna in Kitchen. Ratna strictly refused and Khushi sat on the kitchen slab and started chitchatting with Ratna. Ratna purposely avoided office topic when Khushi started it. She would open it up in front of her son. It would be fun.

Dinner time.

As usual, Ratna and Khushi took seat after serving.

Ratna: Khushi how was your day beta?

Khushi: It was so good aunty.

Arnav(teasingly): Yah, Your Bahu had a very good time in office.

Khushi(without any expression): Obviously. I had a good time.

Arnav: Especially the one, after the break time right? (He winked, remembering his peck on her lips.)

Khushi( glaring at him): Except that one.

Arnav(smilingly): Don't worry tomorrow you will get a better one.

Khushi's eyes popped out.

Ratna: what are you guys talking about? We will also enjoy if you let us know.

Khushi: Nothing aunty. It's just.... (she pouted)

Ratna: Ok ok. Be it. Guess, Chotte, are you making my Bahu fuss at office also?

Khushi got shocked at her statement. They Knew? Do they notice everything? She glared at Arnav who was eating interestingly like that was the only important task he should do right now without giving heed to Ratna's hit on his shoulder.

Ratna: Keep your KADOOS side away from my Bahu at least. Khushi beta, tell me if he does something which irritates you. He might be Great ASR at office but in RM he can do nothing. Ok?

Khushi Smiled and looked at Arnav like "see I have a support".

Arnav(whispering in her ear): Will you complain about I'm kissing or I'm flirting?

Khushi looked his mischievous face and sighed pouting. He was hell right. How could she complain about those things? Isn't that all usual between couples?

Khushi finished her dinner hurriedly and again hugged Ratna. She was doing that almost with every woman she loves. Arnav saw she did the same with Garima and Anjali also. He retired to his room saying Good night to his parents.

He was shocked seeing Khushi arranging her bed in the recliner. He realized what was cooking in her mind. He smiled inwardly.

Arnav: seems like someone is scared.

Khushi neither said anything nor looked at him.

Arnav: I know you are scared of falling for me.

Khushi rolled her eyes and continue her work.

Arnav: I'm damn happy that I'm going to get an amazing opportunity.

Without giving ear to him, she leaned on the recliner and closed her eyes.

Arnav: Sleep fast, then only I could get what I'm expecting.

Khushi opened her eyes and glared at him.

Arnav: won't you listen to me for once? I said sleep. (he commanded)

Khushi knew he was up to something, but she was scared to ask anything which may backfire, but can't help. she should know what's in his mind. She sat straight.

Khushi: What are you talking about?

Arnav(teasingly): you know very well that you can't sleep in a small space. You took this whole king size bed for rolling whole night kicking me side by side. (Khushi gulped and listened)

Just think once, how long could you stay at recliner? You will surely fall and definitely break your leg or hand. So then I could roam whole house picking you in my arms. Isn't that too interesting? (he said fisting his arms in a winning manner)

Khushi: I won't allow you.

Arnav: I won't listen to you. (He said mimicking her) And moreover, my parents won't even allow me to step out of the home. They will be happy if I take care of my wife. So cool.

Khushi: You are trying to divert me. I know that my leg won't break that easily just by falling from recliner. There is a very little chance for that.

Arnav: But there is a chance right? My luck will help me. he said smirking.

Khushi stood glaring at Arnav and threw the pillow at him which he caught smilingly. She took her side as much as at the edge of the bed.

Arnav(teasingly): you may fall from the bed too if you hang like this. You are not BAT who could sleep while hanging.

He saw Khushi moving slightly to her comfort.

Arnav(suppressing his smile): Is anything there in your HUG? (she kept silent) I'm asking because you are hugging all the ladies whenever you got the chance to do so. (still silence) I know how cunning Mrs. Khushi Arnav is. (her mouth went O shape) If she keeps on doing something then there must be something serious. (still he didn't get answer) I think I will get my answer only if I hug you.

Khushi(turning towards him in jiffy): stop. Don't you dare.

Arnav(chuckled): I won't dare if I get my answer.

Khushi(finally gave up): it's a women's psychology. Women feel better if they are being hugged by their beloved ones. It gives them Security, Confidence, and peace. Like, someone is there to share their grief. Physically it makes their immune system strong and also some more. Enough?

Arnav(excitedly): wow, really? From tomorrow I will also hug you then.

Khushi: I said Not you. (her face almost danced while she said that)

Arnav: I might not be your loved one, but you are my (he was pretty serious when he uttered that)

Khushi's throat lost its wetness. She felt like it was too sticky. She turned the opposite side to cover up her nervousness. There was nothing equal to those two words from the whole universe for Khushi. Anything couldn't have that capability to make her happier than this feel. This is what she always wanted in her life.

He was mischievous even in office. But it is not his character with everyone, it's only for her. He showed extreme anger to his staff but immediately cooling down seeing her in front of him. This is what she observed in her first day at the office.

It sounds divine. Is she that much fortunate? Isn't he the kind of man who uses his charms to grab girl's attention? Is he that much good? She slowly turned and observed him, who was trying to get sleep closing his eyes. Anyone could fall for him, such a flawless charming face he is having. She again turned sighing, and closed her eyes. Arnav smiled without opening his eyes as he sensed his wife admiring him for the very first time. What if it is for few seconds?
