Part 4:OS: Arnavji's guide to get a baby! part 3
Arnav walked in to the house after coming from the office to meet with an unusual sight. Khushi was sitting quietly next to his di and they both had their heads inside a book. And he stood silently and started to watch them without their knowledge.
For a while it seemed as if di was explaining something in the book to Khushi and Khushi was paying utmost attention to whatever it was. Then after a while Khushi looked up with a very serious expression on her face and nodded gravely agreeing to whatever di had said.
And then she tentatively asked something from di and Anjali laughed shaking her head and Arnav tried to listen in to the conversation but only thing he heard was something that sounded like, 'Go ahead Khushi'
And to his incredulity Khushi (still with the same serious expression) quickly scrambled off the sofa and knelt on the floor beside his di and placed her head on her tummy.
And Khushi quickly put her hands around Anjali's waist and held on to her a while, keeping her head on her tummy. Anjali sat starring at the top of Khushi's head with an indulgent smile and unknowingly she started stroking her head.
And after a while he watched as Khushi's head emerged as she released di's waist and stood up and said something very solemnly and with a very grave expression on her face to which his di was again laughing and Khushi just started to move away and up the stairs with a strange expression on her face.
Arnav was now getting worried cz despite Khushi always seeming to want to listen to di's baby or touch it or whatever she said she always used to get so excited and chirpy. So what was up with her today he was wondering. And to top it all he hadn't heard a word they talked, which added to his total confusion.
Shaking his head wondering for the thousandth time whether she was still begrudging his sister for that bas***d's child as he thought, he walked in to meet his sister. And after just asking about her health he started to go to the room to freshen up. And on the way he wondered why he had thought about Khushi not liking his di having a baby, cz as surprised as he had been for the past 4 months, Khushi seemed to be the singularly most excited member in the entire family about the new arrival! She spoiled di rotten and actually taken up the habit of following her around like a puppy for the past few days to everyone's amusement!
With all these thoughts he walked in to his room and stood starring as he saw Khushi pacing up and down the room with a worried frown on her face. After walking around twice more she stopped and in her typical way she started talking to herself and he tried to listen on to her crazy ramblings when he saw she had stopping midway and hitting her head with a hand!
'what the!' he almost said it aloud. But his curiosity took the better of him and he instead quietly leaned against the doorframe and started observing her. And within a second she took up to pacing up and down the room again.
And this time he heard small nuggets of her monologue 'amma says stork brings them, but''
'nani said devi mayya gave them, and so says a lot of others too!'
'Hmm..this was getting even more interesting' thought Arnav with a reluctant smile on his face as he stared at her getting herself working up over some silly issue as usual.
And soon she stopped pacing and with an indignant expression on her face said quite loudly, 'but I asked devi mayya many times last 2 months! And she still didn't give me!'
'now this seems to be interesting, her and her devi mayya..wonder what she had asked, probably a live meeting with Salman Khan' he thought, a scowl directed at the offending half naked poster on the wall.
And after another few minutes she gave a defeated sigh and to his growing sense of astonishment said 'may be the laad governor will know where to get one!!' and with that she became considerably more cheerful and was quickly turning around when she saw him. And then she stilled as he warily watched her as he walked in to the room wondering what half baked idea was cooking in that crazy head of hers.
And he completely ignored her as usual and picked a change of clothes and walked in to the bathroom all the while conscious of her calculative gaze. After a quick shower he walked in to the room to find Khushi still in the same position starring at the bathroom door.
'that is it!' he thought with growing exasperation, 'the girl was officially crazy!' and he was getting unnerved with her hawk like gaze which followed him no matter where he went. So he just left the room to go downstairs to where the family was sitting. And Khushi quietly followed him and throughout the conversation he was having with Akash too he was watching her as she took turns to absentmindedly stare at nowhere and then alertly follow his each and every movement. He was getting a bad feeling with whatever that was in her head. This seemed serious, whatever it was.
So he quickly left to the room knowing that he'll have at least half an hour of peace as Khushi wouldn't come up until everything was done in the kitchen and downstairs preparing for dinner.
And after a while he forgot all about Khushi as he got immersed in a presentation he was preparing and only turned to look as the sound of the door closing and a lock sliding in to place came.
And there she was with the same very serious expression on her face, and for a moment Arnav wondered how cute she could look with her face scrunched up and he then again shook his head deciding not to involve himself with whatever it was and went back to his work.
And soon he saw her shaking her head and going to the bathroom. And a while later Khushi came back and from the corner of his eye he watched as she set her beady eyes on him once again, and then she visibly sighed and then he watched as her expression hardened as if she was making herself resolve to do something unpleasant. And then she walked up to him!
By now a completely fascinated Arnav with the play of emotions on her face turned to give her attention to say whatever she had in mind, cz he sure as hell wasn't getting any work done until that madcap wife of his got whatever that was in her head out of her chest.
'Khushi what?'
"Arnavji"
'ya?' he asked with the usual scowl though he wasn't at all angry at the moment and it was more like out of habit. And he saw her faltering for a second before she seemed to collect her wits about her and blurted out,
'CanIHaveABabyPls'
'what?' he almost yelled thinking to himself, 'she just didn't say what she said!' and stared incredulously at her.
'Can I have a..' Khushi started stammering again and he quickly stood up and almost yelled, 'I heard u the first time!'
'And now why did that seemed to relieve the tension from her face?' he was wondering when she sent the next curveball to him,
"so can I have one?"
"one what?" he asked with his feeling of incredulity growing.
"A baby Arnavji..like Anjali di's"
And that did it! Arnav wondered whether Khushi had totally lost her head and stared dumbfound at her. And then Khushi seemed to have found her voice and she started telling in a very serious voice, 'I asked devi mayya, but I still didn't get one, and amma always said the stork brought them, but we can't see any storks in Delhi. But I want one too!'
Arnav was speechless by this time and he was brought back to earth as he felt her shaking him. Then his mind got to work, 'was Khushi serious? She really didn't know? What the hell! Didn't they teach her that in biology? Apparently not, if that look she is giving him was real'
And he heard himself asking in a voice very much unlike his usual confident voice, 'Khushi who told u I will bring one?'
'no one! Amma said it was wrong to ask Devi mayya for a baby before a girl got married. But after that it was ok. And I am married!' she beamed. And then a moment later her face fell as he heard her muttering to herself, 'but only for another 2 months..i need to be quick!'
'WTH!'
"khushi why do u want a baby?"
"just..i want one! I always wanted one, but until now I wasn't married. And di showed me the pictures in her baby book today, and I decided now was the right time! Otherwise it'll be too late after 6 months go I won't be married then"
Arnav wondered if he was dreaming cz this couldn't be possible, Khushi couldn't be this naive. How could any 18 year old not know! And then looking at Khushi's serious but excited face he decided at least this 18 year old didn't know. So that was what she was doing with di all evening and that was why she had this strange look on her face!
And by now the hilarity of the whole situation was getting to Arnav and he decided to have some fun to see exactly what she thought on the subject.
And now to go inside the matter Arnav asked casually, 'So Khushi did anyone tell u how babies come after people marry?'
"And then he heard her mutter more to herself, "jiji said a book said 'When people are in love, babies are made, when they look into each other's eyes.'" And then she blushed beat red to Arnav's increasing amusement.
"Oh really?" he asked as he crossed his hands across his chest and a long ago memory came back to him where he had asked the same question from her in their kitchen, about the mehendi 'A' in her palm.
And as Khushi started fumbling with some incoherent answer, his mind wondered back to those few glorious days. The days that had been wiped clean from his head after the incident on the terrace. But memories that brought a different feeling right now, as he was vividly reminded of Khushi fumbling last time too, trying to find excuses for having his initial in her palm. And just like that it crossed his head the absurdity of his earlier assumption that had prompted him to forcefully marry her when he considered all these signs he had seen on the days before that.
And today her question about a baby told the same story of innocence he always believed her to be. And he looked at her tenderly realizing how wrong he was, cz there was no other explanation except that some huge misunderstanding had happened..there had to be another explanation to what he had seen and interpreted.
And he was brought back to the present as her persistent and worried 'Arnavji aap teek toh hai?' reached his ears.
And with a mischievous smile he looked at her, thinking he was going to have some fun with his naive wife while she got her baby. Cz now after what he had realized he knew there was no way he was ever going to lose her and he finally turned to her and took her in to his arms with a wide smile at her perfect 'O' shaped expression and asked,
"Khushi so u really want to have a baby? Let's start.."
