A deep voice interrupted her musings...
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way..."
Khushi looked over to see Akash standing next to her...
"Sorry? Find out what?" Khushi's voice showed her confusion...
Akash pointed to the kitchen counter near her hands...
There was a piece of paper laying next to her fingers...
"what? What is this?" She said picking the paper up...
Akash quickly snatched the paper away..."You...you mean you didn't read it yet?"
Khushi shook her head...
"Oh thank God! Payal would have been so disheartened if she couldn't tell you herself..."
Khushi's eyes perked up..."Tell me what?"
"Oooh no i'm not telling you...but...if this wasn't the reason for your confusion...what was?"
Khushi smiled at her caring jijaji..."You...I'm so glad Jiji married you...you are so kind jijaji..."
Akash smiled and left the kitchen...
"jiji has been hiding something from me?" sudden anger and fear thudded in her heart..."She's...she's not moving away with jijaji is she???"
"No Khushi...I'm definitely not moving away..." Payal now stood in the doorway with Akash next to her...
"Jiji? What is happening? You're making me tense! Tell me!"
Payal held Khushi's shoulder..."Just wait for Arnavji to arrive..."
As soon as Payal said his name, Arnav appeared through the doorway...
As soon as Khushi saw him, she looked away repulsed...
Arnav detested himself...he had successfully pushed away the one and only woman who he's ever fallen in love with...
Payal motioned for him to come and stand next to Khushi...
"ok...Akash and I wanted you both to be the first to know that...WE'RE GOING TO BE PARENTS!"
Khushi's face beamed with happiness...
For a moment, looking at her genuine smile, Arnav felt happy...
"OH MY GOSH!!!!!! JIJI!!! JIJAJI!!!!!!"
Arnav was so lost in watching Khushi's joy burst forth, that he hadn't said a word to the couple yet...
Akash came up to Arnav, interrupting his gaze..."Bhai? Aren't you happy about this?"
Arnav turned to hug Akash..."Ofcourse i am...many many congratulations! I'm so happy for you!"
As Arnav and Khushi were hugging their siblings, they looked over at each other...
Arnav was hoping to see even a tiny bit of affection from her eyes, but he got none...
Their eye lock broke hearing Payal's next words...
"I'm so glad that you married Arnavji...now i can have Di and YOU with me when i have my baby! Now we can all live together as one big family...this is what i always wanted Khushi..."
Payal hugged Khushi tighter...
Khushi's face went pale...Her eyes teared up...
Arnav saw the heartbreak on her face and read her thoughts immediately...
"She wanted to leave as soon as Di had her baby...if Khushi was going to stay for MY sister...she'd NEVER leave Payal..."
Payal heard Khushi's soft sobs and she grew concerned...
"Khushi? Why are you crying?"
Quickly drying her tears, "no no Jiji...there are happy tears! Really...please...please just give me a minute..."
Khushi quickly ran upstairs into her room...
She walked silently inside...
"i'm trapped here...how can i leave now?...i have Di who needs me, Jiji who needs me...and Arnavji...he..."
"I need you Khushi..."
Khushi spun around to see Arnav standing behind her...
Arnav looked her straight in the eyes and continued..."Even though you have every reason to hate me right now...I... I believe that you need me too..."
"Need you!? Need someone who hates me, who hurts me, who threatens me, who abuses me, who..."
"I'M DESPERATELY SORRY KHUSHI!"
"sorry. You're sorry. I can't stand the sight of you! And now i'm stuck here forever!"
"not stuck here Khushi...you're needed here...by Di, by Payal, and by me..."
Khushi's eyes turned fierce..."YES. Di and Jiji need me...and i need them...but you..." She turned her back to him..."You need no one other than yourself, and I don't need you...i never have..."
Arnav marched to her and spun her around...
"Let me go! Get your hands off me!"
"Khushi...you HAVE needed me before..."
She struggled and wriggled free from him..."what would i need you for!? You are the last person on earth that i want to be around!"
"Well you're MY WIFE and I'm going to show you..." he said, stepping forward, "just how much you need me..."
And before she could protest, he caught her by the hand, jerked her forward, and covered her mouth with his own.
At the unexpected touch of his lips, a sweet wave of hysteria roiled through her...
Her heart was suddenly slamming against her chest.
His hand was on her nape, pulling her closer, caressing her neck while the other hand found her shoulder, drifted lower, skimming torturously over her breast to her waist.
His lips moved languidly on hers, savoring the taste of them, softly shaping them to his own.
The sensation rocked through her body...
Khushi heard herself whimper, and his tongue flicked across her bottom lip, sweeping inside, entwining with her own.
Her fingers were tingling...
She was transported back to their first kiss ...
The raw and sudden passion...
Khushi's mind switched off and her heart took over...
Her tingling hand went around his waist, and she stepped more closely into the circle of his arms, wedging her leg between his.
He cupped her face; his rough thumb stroked her cheek while he pressed her harder into him, anchoring her to his solid body.
A delicate pressure began to build in her, filling the space around her pounding heart.
Arnav's heart thundered with elation at her response...
He delved deeper, caressing her, drinking her in, and Khushi slipped unconsciously into a pool of shimmering desire, a throbbing that spilled into her breasts and her groin.
Khushi grabbed Arnav's Shirt and clung to it so that she would not melt right there...
She became numbly aware that he was effortlessly holding her up.
At the very moment she thought she would disappear in his kiss, he lifted his head, gazed into her eyes, traced her swollen bottom lip with his thumb, and said, "Khushi...stay...because I NEED YOU."
Khushi blinked, dragged a shaky hand across her mouth and muttered breathlessly. . . "I...I...you...you..."
Confused and dazed, she ran past him and out of their room...
