Part 34

Once they had lunch outside, they ride the bike back to their penthouse. Khushi was checking through her mobile and that's when she saw few missed call and few message in whatsup gallery. She checked and the person was none other than her BABY'.. A smile crept on her lips. It been long that she didn't talk with him.. She thought of dialing him now only if he wasn't busy.

The call was connected after few beeps. Khushi answered with extra happiness over pumping within her. She was too happy to talk with the person whom she called as Baby'..

Khushi: "Hello Baby.. [PAUSE] Oh come on.. [PAUSE] You can't stop me.. [PAUSE] No way..! I'm not going to tolerate this.. [PAUSE] What..? You are coming India..? When..? [PAUSE] Great..! We will have a lot of fun. I was missing you much.. After all you are my baby na.." She laughed when the opposite person grinned angrily. He always has a problem when she called him baby. But she just can't help as she like teasing him with this name. "Ok.. Ok.. I should stop now and waiting to meet you.. Take care.." The call had been hang up. Khushi was still smiling recalling the conversation she shared with her baby. Upon that she was more than happy to know that he coming India finally..!! She had missed him so damn much that sometimes she even thought of packing her luggage and run to New York.

She kept the phone on the side table and turn behind only to find Arnav standing there with furious expression. Khushi's brow frowned with confusion. She didn't find any reason for him to get angry as she didn't thought he heard the conversation.

Khushi: "You want to take bath first or I should go first..?" She didn't put much attention on his anger and keep collecting the clothes she wanted to wear after the bath. The moment she was about to walk towards the bathroom, he clutched her wrist and pinned her at the nearby wall. Khushi was stunted with his move. "What are you doing..?" She tried to free her hand.

Arnav: "Now tell me..! Who the hell you was talking with..? I don't think so it was the first time either..!! I heard you calling the person baby over three times and now I need an explanation. Last time, we don't have any relationship but now we do..! SPIT OUT..!!" He pressed the last words. His red blood eye was shooting him.

Khushi: "You are over reacting Arnav..!!" She very well knows how to provoke him more.

Arnav: "Like you didn't..?" He was pointing the scene that happened in the boutique. Khushi rolled her eyes before she speak up.

Khushi: "Fine..!! Leave me first then I will say.. Otherwise just forget it.." He freed her wrists but didn't move an inch away. He was still blocking her way. He knows she might just want to make the hell out of him.

Arnav: "I'm waiting.." He said firmly.

Khushi: "To be honest I have 4 important mans in my life.." His brow frowns with his eyes open wide..! Four..? Was she..?!

Arnav: "So you were just playing with me..?" He didn't like the fact that he been played by her. He was really hurt when she said she had four men in her life. Then where he stands in with all those men..? Didn't she love him just like the way he does..?

Khushi (Cupping his cheeks): "You are predicting everything wrongly..! Will you give me few minutes to explain everything starting from A - Z..?" He holds her hand and kissed her knuckles.

Arnav: "Just tell me you are not playing with me..?" He was still feeling insecure. Well, who won't be if their lady love just said she have four important men in her life..? That was really too much for him to digest.

Khushi: "No.. I'm not playing with you and I will never do that.. I love you Arnav.. I love you so much.." He smiled in a way of sighing in relief. She loved him.. That's what he wanted to hear. "So can I proceed..?" He nodded giving her an go ahead sign..

She took his hand and walked him to the nearby couch. They get seated with Khushi seating on his lap while he holds her possessively.

Khushi: "Okey..! When I say I have four important men in my life..? I mean it..! The first ever man in my life is the person whom I called Baby. Sanjay Malhotra, he is my brother. My elder brother, nothing like the way you are thinking.." He eyed her in disbelief.. Brother..? He was jealous for no reason..? "Yeah my baby is my brother Sanjay.."

Arnav: "Then why were you calling him Baby..? You suppose to call him Bhai or bhaiyya instead of Baby.."

Khushi: "Actually, he too don't like me calling him Baby. Long time ago, there was one girl who was probably hunting him. She was all over him and Bhai is little reserved. He don't know how to impress girl. He don't know how to build an conversation also. He doesn't like to mix around with girls. He prefers friendship with boys mostly. From what he said..? They are quite mature and understanding. Girls are very complicated character.. That's what he told me. Then one day we were doing shopping and I don't know from where this crazy girl came from and she was all over Bhai. Snajay Bhai face was worth to see. He just nodded and hmm-ed most of the time. My Sanjay Bhai was very weak in this so I can't leave him struggling alone. I interrupted and called him baby. Just to show to that girl that he already had girlfriend. That girl left once she learns we were couple and she didn't show Bhai her face. Starting from that moment I keep teasing him with the word baby. He tried to warn me but I just love to make him go mad." She was in full swing narrating her brother stories.

Arnav: "Is he a GAY??" Khushi's jaw dropped.. GAY..?

Khushi: "No way..!! He is not. It's just that he is not good in this kind of things. You can't just accuse him for being a Gay..! I know my brother well. Not everyone are like you Arnav Singh Raizada..!" That was slip of tongue.

Arnav: "Yeah.. you are right! Not everyone is like me.." Khushi caress his cheek..

Khushi: "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to point you in that way.." He smiled weakly gesturing her that he is fine.

Arnav: "I want to hear more about your brother.." He tried to put the topic back on the place.

Khushi: "My brother is a successful Businessman in NY. You know him right..? He knew as SJ." He nodded..

Arnav: "I do but only formally.. I think I met him once, two years back.." He tried the recall the exact time he met her brother Sanjay Malhotra.

Khushi: "You know what Arnav..? He is not only a brother for me.. But he is my mother and father too. He raised me when my parents passed away. He didn't leave me alone. Every night he took me to bed and feed me accordingly. He has never neglected me not even during his exam period. I have never let me felt that I don't have parents because I have him in a form of them. He didn't let me complain too and always wish for the best for me. He will be the first men ever in my life for whom I'm ready to scarify my entire life because he did a lot for me. He is quite possessive type of Brother. After all, I'm the only sister he has. Perhaps, he has a lot of expectation for my marriage. I mean real marriage. Once I meet him I will tell him everything about you. It will be little hard to convince him but not difficult." Arnav caress her cheek softly..

Arnav: "And I will not jealous of him.." Khushi smiled and kissed his lips lightly.

Khushi: "Shall we proceed..?" He nodded.. "Second men is my Nannu, Khalash Malhotra.. He is so cool.. Today we are alive is just because of him. He provided us all the comfort and didn't let any harm-ness fall in our way. And the third place go to the man whom I'm madly in love.. That is you.. My Arnav.." He raised his brow..

Arnav: "I got a promotion..? That place actually belongs to that forth men right..?" She chuckled.

Khushi: "Yes.. But now you are the person who is ruling my heart so how can I put you at four..?" For him those numbers wasn't matter as he knows she loves him.

Arnav: "Now I'm very eager to know this last man..? Who is he..?"

Khushi: "He is my best friend. We study and grow up together in NY and his name is Zain Khurana. One of my bestie.. Bhai trust Zain a lot. When he wasn't around he will inform Zain to look after me. [PAUSE] You know what..? My brother Nannu and Zain coming to India in next two days.. I'm so excited to meet them.. It been long I didn't saw them and talking regularly on mobile not helping any way." She complained..

Arnav: "Then we have to pack our bag soon.." He said in playful tone..

Khushi: "Arnav can I ask you something..?" He nodded a YES.. "Do you still miss your mother..? Why don't you just let her go..?" Whenever he heard his mother name his eye will go moist and it's happening today again.

Arnav: "I'm not holding her Khushi. If I am..? I will never let her die.. She gave birth to me.. The first women who thought me the word love.. My life lies in her but she didn't bother to fight with the world and choose to end her life. I was in depression. I don't know how to control myself and I always prefer staying alone. Maybe that loneliness forms this dark Arnav Singh Raizada. But there is one thing that can never be changed.. My mother means everything to me.. I will never disobey her because she was my life.. I love her a lot Khushi even now.." Khushi hugged him tightly trying to soothe his sorrow. She knew how it felt leaving without parents. Its not easy. When the kids at same age playing with their parents and those kids who don't have parents can only stare them.. They can't even wish for a parent because they can't get one.

Khushi: "I didn't mean to make you cry.." They pulled back yet holding each other.

Arnav: "I'm not blaming you for this.. It's just that my love for my mother is way too deeper that I can't even think of forgiving my father. I hate him a lot.. I just.. I don't like to hear his name or seeing him around me.. It's just because of my step mother I'm tolerating him." He was trying his best not to show the hatred for his father to Khushi even it already occupied in his eye.

Khushi: "Let's stop discussing this.. It will cause a lot of pain to you.. Today is our marriage day and I don't want the groom to cry.. It won't look nice.." He chuckled.. She really knew how to light his life.
