Part: 7

He pulled the chair for her and sat next to her. When they finished their meal, he looked at her and said hesitately, "Khushi..." she waited him to complete his sentence, but he stopped. Then he called her again.

"What happened, Arnav? Is everything alright?" his tone woried her.

"Yes, I just want to say that... I'm going to London tomorrow," he said the last sentence quickly; avoiding looking t her eyes.

"What? Why? For how long?" she threw the questions once he told her.

"My flight is tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. I'm going to stay there three days." and he looked at her to see her reaction; she didn't say anything, but he could read her eyes. She was shocked. He held her hand to console her.

"I'm sorry. I have to be there. It's an important meeting."

She nodded her head silently, and tried to smile. After a mintue of silence, she asked him "Won't you get ready to go to office?"

"No, I've decided to spend the whole day with you and Di," he said simply and smiled.

In spite of the bad news she got, she was happy to hear this. "OK. I'll bathe then we will go to Di's room." and she walked. Then she stopped and asked him, "By the way, did you tell Di about that?"

"I want to tell he rin your presence. You know Di; she can't tolerate my absence."

"Me too," she murmured, but he heard her and couldn't comment.

He waited her, and once he heard the voice of the door opening, he looked at her. 'I'll miss you a lot, Khushi,' he thought.

She stood in front of the mirror, and felt his gaze on her. he exmined her from head to toe. then he stepped towards her, took some sindoor, put it on her maang, and kissed her forehead. She fell down deep inside, but decided to act strong in front of him.

They entwined hands and went to Anjali's room, who was sitting on the bed thinking of her brother and his wife happily. Arnav knocked the door and asked her to come in.

"Arre. Both of you are here," said Anjali.

"I thought we should spend the day together," answered Arnav and sat beside her and khushi next to her.

"What's the occasion?" she said in joking tone.

"Actually,... Di" and he nodded to Khushi asking her to start.

"Woh... Di .. Arnavji is going to London tomorrow."

"What? London! What's the need for this?!"

"I have an important meetingthere Di," said Arnav , who had to face this situation twice.

"But chotte..."

"Di. he will be back soon. Don't worry. he will take care ofhimself, and will keep in contact with us," said Khushi not sure if she was consoling Anjali or herself. "And days are passing quickly," she continued.

"OK. We will miss you a lot." Anjali pouted.

"Me too, Di" and he put his head on her shoulder, and she caressed his hair softly. Khushi looked at them and smiled. They are the best brother and sister in the whole world. She knows that both of them consider the other his world.

"How is your baby? What did the doctor say?" said Khushi in altered tone.

"Everything is fine. The baby is in a good health," answered Anjali with a big smile.

"Amazing . Do you want a girl or a boy, Di?" asked Khushi excitedly.

"The child is a bliss, and I'm contented with this. I'm just waiting for him or her to come and fill my life with happiness."

"I'm yearing to see brother's child too, and hear him calling me aunt," Anjali said and looked at them. Khushi blushed and Arnav became wrried for some reason.

They spent the whole day together and had the lunch and dinner too.

" It's 10 p.m now. You should go to your room and have some rest. Sleep well chotte." Anjali advised him.

"I'm going to pack up your luggage," Khushi said and left Arnav there.

"Di, take care of yourself and Khushi." Arnav recomended her.

"I'll do. Don't worry." and she cupped his face in her hands and asked him to go.

Khushi was packing up Arnav's clothes. She couldn't bear the idea of leaving home. With each shirt she held, she remembered him wearing it. When she held the white shirt, she remembered him when he became servant for her, and chose the sari for her. The green one reminds her when he saved her from the car while it was raining. The brown one brought the memories of the honeymoon when he danced with her and they slept together on the recliner. Arnav entered the room and found her staring at his shirts and lost.
