Honestly i swear on God there is life beyond your files, laptop, office and this stupid work of yours. Khushi chuckled at Anjali's dramatic speech.

Di ohh please stop being drama queen for heaven sake we were discussing something very important until you disturb us. Arnav said in mock You-Disturbed-us tone.

I would have regretted disturbing you if you were romancing with your wife or promising her something or planning "ahem" your family with her, Anjali paused winking at beet red Khushi but i don't approve this office office game of you two. She threw her head back laughing loudly at uncomfortable expressions of couple in front of her. Oh di where is that fiance of your's how can he leave such dangerous fiance out to poke in other's privacy. Arnav said getting irritated Anjali laughed more on his expense.

Khushi heard and tried harder to stop herself from laughing out loudly.

His face was worthy to see when nani told him to see Priest out but being good boy that he was strangely now a day he went to see him off paying him off.

*~*~*

Arnav came back to living room he saw Khushi was serving everyone sweet. A big smiles on everyones face. Arnav looked around found his di smiling something tia told her and then blushing at what Payal spoke. Khushi pinching her cheek lovely. Mami cracking her knuckles at Di. nani trying to hide her misty eyes. Karan looking lovingly at Di... he quiet escape from scene without anyone's notice.

*~*~*

Arnav was working in his cabin. it was lunch time but he was still working. he heard knock on door which broke his rivieres. COme In came out a sharp tone.

Khushi enter with his tiffin Come let eat lunch. Di send you favourite karela ki sabzi an my favourite Aloo ki sabzi i am famish.

she looked beautiful in her deep pink saree and black embroidered border.

Arnav looked up at her...he liked her in this saree infact he was the one who bought this for her on Teej. Today he was out of his control...he fear he will do some damage but he care less. He was burning and was ready to lit fire to this world as well.

Arnavji come lets eat you need to take your medicines as well. I told you nah i m feeli... Khushi was cut in by his small voice she couldn't catch upon.

OUT he hissed

She turned to him with confusion written on his face.

sorry i couldn't catch you, we'll talk later come and eat.

He stood up from his chair pushing his chair furious back strode towards her holding her arm tightly in his deadly grip. I said out, Stop acting my wife when you know you're not one. You don't need to take care of me when i can do it myself. Stop being a pain for me mind your own damn business. GET LOST FROM HERE...OUT OF MY ROOM NOW!!! He screamed last words.

Khushi who was shivering with intensity of his scream looked at him with disbelief, She gathered herself taking deep breath she looked up at him. Something and some people never changes though how much they try to polish them, cover themselves but their true selves do comes out. She yelled back on his face turned around and walked to door

It struck him like a speedy truck what the hell he had done. He looked at her who was now taking big steps towards door wiping her tears furious with back of her hand. He run to her side.

Khushi wait!!! Stop please one moment please

Khushi She shrug his hand and walked out. Arnav knew he has once again did the damage.

An hour later.

Khushi has been crying since then she was hungry as well but was punishing herself to starve for making fool out of herself everytime. She heard knock on her door Khushi quickly turn her back to door and wipe her tears with tissue.

She turn and found Arnav's arms crossed behind him he was leaning on door watching her intently. She quickly looked away. Peon enter the cabin placed their tiffin and some other things which Khushi didn't gave a look.

She was looking out of her window but mentally she was keeping all check on Arnav's moments. She could hear his footsteps coming close to her within a moment he was right behind her. She could feel his body warmth. He shove something under her nose ... smelt like fresh roses She looked down and found red roses bouquet there.

A soft smiled adore her lips but next moment she looked away.

Arnav was looking at her through glass mirror which was reflecting her. His lips stretched wide when she smiled but soon changed into frown when she looked away.

He turned her around. She gave him plain looks. Arnav suddenly started feeling nervous, fumbling for words. He know he suck at words but he messed everything if he took one step ahead his own stupidity brings him several steps back.

Khushi....He called her, erm...i shouldn't have said that...i wasn't thinking straight...look i didn't meant all that please...don't take my words on heart... He was feeling difficulty to breath, difficulty to explain himself. He wasn't comfortable to talk when people look at him.

He handed her bouqet these are for you. Erm i heard you like roses :) and i guess these are best to make up with you. He said with uneasy smile. Khushi didn't resist those roses she just followed his movement. he went back to table and came back with silver box shoving it in her hand urging her to open it.

Khushi open the box she saw boz full of jalebi's. She smiled looking at her hand looking up she found her husband with satisfied expression, looks which coveyed how much satisfied he is with his work. Khushi gave him plain blank look.

Are you trying to apologise to me? Khushi spoke making him more nervous.

He looked at her with deer caught in light. He tried to come up with some sort of explanation. Bead of sweat shining on his forehead, Arnav turn his back to her started walking towards door Khushi felt her anger rising being ignored like she doesn't exist, HOW DARE YOU ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA IF YOU CANNOT ANSWER ME WHY THE HELL YOU CAME HERE AT FIRST PLACE? Khushi yelled at him spitting fire through her eyes.

Arnav stumbled over rug, Khushi's eyes widen she quickly leapt forward to help him holding his arm she felt his body was turning cold. She looked at his face he looked pale his forehead was wet with sweat beads. Arnavji she spoke with concern. Arnav slump down on floor, Wha...tt's happening.....Sugar level, a thought struck her. She grabbed jalebi out of box and fed him then help him drink water a little.

He looked at her with smile.....i am...so... sorry i was thinking straight, i didn't meant those words i swear, it just came out...i was trying to think about ways to pacify you...felt my sugar level was dropping. Khushi remembered he just ate half toast and got up from table in morning. Why didn't you told me earlier? She spoke furiously yet with concern filled tone.

He gave sheepish look, i thought it was easy to pacify you. a chuckle escape his lips. Woah i didn't knew its hard to pacify one's wife. He laughed more at Khushi's cute open mouth expressions.
