Arnav opened the bathroom door and screamed her name in fear, "Khushi!!!" flying to her side as she started to faint...he got to her before she could fall and he held her against his body against his as he continued to talk to her..."Khushi, Khushi! Wake up! Open your eyes sweetheart please!" he held onto her tightly and turned on the warm water...she was freezing...he went under the water with her and let it heat her frozen skin...
Arnav didn't know how he was going to survive...her pain only fuelling the obliterating pain that already filled him...seeing her head start to move he quickly started speaking softly near her hair..."you're safe jaan, you're safe...no one and nothing is going to hurt you...i promise...i'm here, i love you...please please don't be frightened..." Arnav kept talking as she looked up at him...warm water pelting their bodies as he held her tight...
Khushi looked up at him...he had beautiful eyes...his lips were moving, talking to her...assuring her...she felt calmer...she didn't see any sign of his anger...she spoke quietly to him, "you can let go of me...i'm ok...i'm sorry..." Arnav interrupted her saying, "I AM SORRY. You don't need to be sorry for anything...please just let me take care of you today...i am not ever going to hurt you. I will never give you a reason to fear me ever again."
Khushi totally bewildered just nodded...Arnav didn't move straight away...he stood holding her under the water just loving being able to hold her...no erotic touching, no crazed need, he just wanted to hold her...finally loosened his hold on her...he still had his arms lightly around her waist...he pulled a towel around her and heard her say, "i'll just be a minute..."
"alright..." He said with a small smile..."but first I need something."...
"what do you need?" Khushi asked...
"I need this." and He lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her. He kept kissing her until she relaxed onto him with the sweetness, goodness and heat that filled the empty part of his soul. He hadn't understood the depth of the missing piece until she came into his life.
...
Once he had begrudgingly pulled away from kissing her he smiled and left the bathroom and went to get dressed...waiting for her in their room...there was a knock on his door...he mentally thanked God for keeping the throng of family that lived with him away from Khushi and himself last night...if anyone had have interrupted them he may have exploded at them...he opened the door and saw Akash...Arnav smiled, "hi...great morning isn't it?" Akash looked at him puzzled, "uh Bhai...you left me with a whole table full of business men last night...i finalized everything. It's all ok. But what happened to you? Are you and Khushiji okay?" Arnav started laughing...he totally forgot about everything accept Khushi..."Akash i'm sorry man! Khushi needed me because she was hurt and..." his voice suddenly disappeared...Khushi was hurt. Shyam hurt Khushi. Shyam had HIT Khushi. Arnav remembered what he had said to Shyam...fury boiled inside him. This was going to be the end of Shyam's sickening game. Enough was enough... Arnav's train of thought was cut short when he heard Akash trying to talk to him again..."Bhai?? How did Khushi get hurt? Is she okay? The family are actually quite worried about her as she apparently hasn't been eating much and she's still been doing all the chores and..."
"what do you mean she hasn't been eating?!" Arnav practically yelled. "Has everyone been so self involved that they couldn't take care of MY wife!?"
"Bhai, she had been shying away from everyone...she had said once that she wanted to eat near the poolside and we only found out a few days ago that she hadn't been accepting any food..." Akash said sadly...
Arnav took a deep breath..."everything is going to be different from this day Akash. Can i depend on you for your support and help when i need it?"
"ofcourse Bhai...you know my loyalty to you won't change..."
"thanks Akash, " then Arnav heard the door behind him open and he turned to see his intoxicating wife...he could hardly breathe looking at her...she was a vision in a bright yellow saree...he unconciously shut his bedroom door leaving Akash outside quite confused...
Khushi was at the mirror putting on her bangles...Arnav came up next to her...as she was about to pick up her bangles he reached out for her hand saying, "let me..." and he looked into her eyes as he gently slid every bangle on her wrist...he silently stood holding her hand and she was hypnotized by the look he was giving her...she lifted her free hand and placed it on her heart...she felt a very soft...dhak dkah dhak dhak..."my heart is..." she whispered, barely audible..."is mine..." said Arnav stepping closer...lifting his hand he moved her hair to one side and whispered kisses along the elegant line of her neck...
he kissed the slope of her shoulder and her skin broke out in goose flesh. "Have I mentioned how much I love tasting you here?" He repeatedly dragged openmouthed kisses over the bared flesh. Prickles of goose bumps followed in the wake of his marauding mouth...
"Arnavji... Stop... "Khushi whispered...
"Stop?" he asked quietly, not stopping...
"please...i can hardly breathe..."
Arnav lifted his face to hers..."i love you..." and he took her hand and they went downstairs...
As they entered the kitchen hand in hand, Anjali and Payal ran to Khushi and practically tore her away from Arnav...giving her hugs and saying how much they had missed her and how sorry they were for blowing things out of proportion...Arnav held on to her hand for as long as he could before she was finally tugged away from him...he smiled at the love and attention Khushi was now getting, but his heart was hurting now that he wasn't touching her...Akash walked up to Arnav and said, "Goodmorning...again..." and winked walking to sit down...once they were all seated and Arnav was finally close to Khushi again his hand on her thigh as she sat beside him, they started to eat...all was quiet till Payal looked up at khushi with tears in her eyes saying, "i have missed this! I can't believe..." ...
"Please can we not talk of it ever again?..." Khushi interrupted, "i have missed you all as well and don't want to think back on this issue anymore...please..." Arnav saw Khushi trying to hold tears back and he spoke up..."lets just move on and enjoy our lives now...i know i'm enjoying mine. I am married to the woman who holds my heart..." all the women at the table was giggling and started playfully teasing him. Arnav started to get irritated but then saw Khushi trying to hide a smile he just let everyone babble on...
Arnav did notice that once face wasn't present at the table. Not that he WANTED to see that son of a *#, but he would much rather KNOW where he is than not know...Arnav leaned over and quietly asked Akash who was sitting on his other side, "where is jijaji??" . . Akash looked up and said..."uh, i remember Di saying that he had hurt himself while trying to light a candle last night, so she made him promise to go to the doctor first thing in the morning..." . . .Arnav smirked wickedly for a moment and thought..."if that bas*ard thought THAT burned, then he's in for a whole new kind of fire..." His thoughts were interrupted by Anjali excitedly saying, "payalji , Khushiji...how about we all go shopping today! We haven't done anything together for a long time! Just us married ladies..." Payal was thrilled and chimed in, "oh yes Di! Let's do that! What do you say Khushi?!" Khushi didn't know what to say. This time a week ago she was huddled in a corner somewhere staring into space and now...her husband was desperately pursuing her, her family was trying to take her out shopping, and she was literally exhausted just from THINKING. But she looked up at their expectant faces and gave a small smile, "i think that would be a great idea..."
"i'll come too."
Anjali, Payal, and Khushi looked over in shock!
