Understanding Khushi (Chapter 45)

Chapter 45

Khushi was waking up, she had started to search for Arnav aroun in the bed.A frown covered her face even in sleep at not finding him around.

Arnav saw her search expedition; smiling to himself he briefed his assistants faster and switched off the Bluetooth and laptop and slid inside the blanket beside her, slid his hands across her waist and pulled her closer. Sensing his touch Khushi turned her side and hid her face in his chest, embracing him tighter. She snuggled more into his warm chest and he began nuzzling in her hair. She kissed his heart and then nuzzled his neck with her nose.

Khushi: Arnav, have I slept too much? How did you get me here?

Arnav: Jaan, you were tired and slept in the car. You just slept for 2 hours and I

              was watching you sleep. And yes if you remember I am allowed to carry

             my wife anywhere I want in my arms. So you came here in my arms.

Khushi: haw………

She hid more in his chest, a bright red roose rose in her cheeks.

Khushi: Who all saw you carrying me inside like that? I hope no one saw me

               like that in your arms.

Arnav:  Excuseme……. What’s the problem in carrying my wife in my arms?

              I don’t get it. But for your information, everyone was present there.

Khushi : Hai devi maiya………….

                What will everyone think……………………………..

                What will di say…….she must have felt bad………………………………..

                 No no di and nanheji will tease me to no end…………………………….

               What will Poorav and Poorvi think?

               What will I do now?????

Arnav:  You need to do nothing.  Di never feels bad, infact I am sure she would

               have done a mental dance to see me like this. NK would not dare tease

               you……and about di’s teasing I should be more worried. I am more

               favourite target of hers. And Poorav and Poorav just saw how caring I

               am. And you are far more important than who thinks what.      

   By the way everybody was more concerned about you rather than

              focussing on you in my arms.

Khushi: oh………………….

Arnav:  By the way if your husband will not carry you in his arms then who else.

              I don’t get it. I am married to you. I have all kinds of rights than why

             you  fear or bother like I did some crime. Tell me…………

Khushi:  its nothing like that, I am just a bit shy.

Arnav: really………my wild cat……..

Khushi hits him lightly

Arnav: Aren’t you hungry? Now wake up and let go downstairs. And tonight I

             will see about your this shyness.

Khushi : ok.

Arnav helped Khushi change but with his naughtiness full on. He blew on her body full on while he helped her into a fresh pair of clothes, not wasting a single chance of touching her. He kissed her finally before heading downstairs.

They all were waiting downstairs in the lounge. After some questions regarding her sleep, well being and tiredness, Khushi was allowed to breathe.

Poorav and Poorvi assured her that they are with her and are sure that she will get well soon and will be even troubled by their grandkids.

 They all sat down to watch the new cartoon film the lion king brought by NK. They had a great family time.

As they were watching the film, Anjali paused it between and on asked told that she would like to have a pasta right now along with a chocolate moosie.

Arnav was shocked at her tantrums. He had his unbelievable expression on……

Anjali:  Chotte get me all that. I don’t want it , actually the baby craves for it.

Arnav: di…… you are unbelievable………what the…..

Khushi: Arnavji…… no what the …….what the……….go and get her pasta and

              moosie. Its actually good to fulfil cravings of a pregnant lady.

Arnav : I don’t know ………………………

Poorav : its ok jijaji, I will go and get it, I know places around.

Arnav: No, its ok, I will order it online.

Poorav:  Its already 8pm, it will have one and half hour waiting, I will get it quicker.Tell me di, what kind of pasta you want?

Anjali :   I want red sauce pasta with lots of cheese and  peppers and white

               sauce spageti pasta with organo seasonings. And thank you Poorav.

Poorav : Its nothing di, and chocolate moosie right?

Anjali: Right. Bring two.

Poorav: ok.

Arnav : Thanks Poorav, and take the car. And call once before placing the order

               You never know when the baby might change its mood and start asking

               for burger or fries or some other thing, di is becoming unpredictable.

Anjali: chotte…………. makes an angry face.

Khushi: di, he is just pulling your leg. If you want we can sent him instead. He

               does not have even Aman to order around……….. he will have to find

               the place himself.

Arnav :  unbelievable ………………..

Poorav left to the pasta place.

Poorvi: jiji, di who is this Aman?

Anjali and Khushi laughed. While Arnav explained that they were making fun of

him and his efficient right hand man Aman Mathur.

NK was too amused and left no chance to poke nannav along with two.

Poorvi: nanheji why do you make fun of jijaji’s name? It is not right to make fun of his name. I have seen you always do that. Think how he can revenge you.

Arnav was elated. Pooravi had actually in a way threatened NK.

Anjali was amused too.

Khushi was no less.

Khushi: Nanheji watch out. Your Nannavji has one more soldier in his team.

 Then she turned towards Poorvi .

Khushi: Nannav jija ki chamchi already in two days of aquitance.

Poorvi winked at Arnav reminding him of Khushi on one previous such occasion.

Poorvi: who told you of two days of aquitance? We have been known even before you formally introduced us. I am Right jijaji?

Khushi looked shocked between the pair of two……………

Arnav gave a loop sided smile as a yes to the answer.

While all chatted Khushi whispered into Arnav’s ears “ meri behan ko bhi apni side kar liya. I wonder when she will join your office she will become your total disciple. You know jijaji ki Chamchi or ASR ki chamchi”

Arnav laughed at her jealousy and said “don’t worry jaan.  When I myself belong to you, than so do my all followers. You should not worry about such petty issues.”  

Khushi sneeked aside and called Poorav and asked him to bring Pasta for all especially her Arnavji.

Later

Dinner table

All were surprised at Khushi’s pasta treat. She convinced them that since she can not have it, so they all should have it on her behalf.

Arnav was hardest to conveince but he gave in when Khushi blackmailed him

By saying if he did not enjoy his pasta she will not have her food. All gave in and had pasta treat while Khushi enjoyed her boiled vegetables and soup with pepper.
