Part 4
Arnav stroked Khushi's hair as she slept. She looked so peaceful, so calm that his heart tugged and his lips curved into a smile. She was so beautiful. Earlier this evening, Arnav had been talking to Akash about some deal but all that was forgotten the moment Khushi opened the door. She had looked so beautiful in her green sari. He had lost his train of thought. He wished he had told her happy anniversary right then, but the cat had got his tongue. He couldn't tolerate it when she got upset, and today she had cried because of him. He still could not believe she had sat in the rain and wept. He had been so furious then. What if she had gotten sick? If not wishing her happy anniversary had done this to her then what would happen when he told her about this fears. What would happen when he told her he wasn't entirely happy about this child? She would not be able to handle it. What if she hurt herself further? He was a bas***d and he knew that, but still he loved her. He could never hurt her like that. He always wanted to protech her, so he would just stay quiet. He would just have to find a way to deal with it himself.
Khushi woke up in the morning and turned to see that Arnav ji was still sleeping. He was so wonderful. She slowly got off the bed so she would not wake him and went to take a shower. He hadn't forgotten anything. He had given her pearls'pearls. She would have been happy with just a kiss, but the pearls were certainly an amazing gift. She would wear them all day. They would remind her of how much he loved her so that she would never doubt his love again.
She got dressed and went downstairs. "Khushi ji good morning," di said.
"Good morning di, I am gonna go help Om Prakash with breakfast," she said. A while later when Khushi was preparing breakfast, nausea crept up in her stomach. Uhhh'.morning sickness again. She put a tight hand on her mouth and ran to the bathroom as di followed her. "Khushi ji what happened, are you okay," di said.
"Khushi bitiya," naniji said as Khushi ran out of the kitchen, "what happened."
Five minutes later when Khushi left the bathroom everyone was waiting for her in the living room. They all looked at her with a concerned face. "Khushi are you okay. Anjali ji said you were you throwing up," jiji said.
"Ummm'jiji," Khushi's cheeks were turning warm.
"Really Khushi bitiya'are you," nani ji said. And smiled shyly. "Yes naniji."
Just then Arnav ji came downstairs and everyone turned to look at him. "Arnav bitwa, you toh chuppe rustum nikle," mami ji said. "Congratulations chotte, Khushi ji," di said.
"What are you all talking about," Arnav ji looked confused. "You are going to be a father. Why didn't you both tell us before," nani ji said.
"Actually, I found out just 2 days ago. And I told Arnav ji yesterday. I wanted to tell him first so'."
"Oh, okay. Ofcourse we understand," Anjali di said with a sad face. Of course this news would upset her. After di had found out about Shyam ji's truth'she had gone into premature labor and her child hadn't made it. Khushi couldn't believe she had reminded di of her past, but what could she do.
"I will go set up breakfast, Khushi ji you should rest. No need to do housework okay," di said. Khushi wanted to disagree, but she knew di needed some space. So she let her be.
