Episode 8
Arnav and Khushi reached RM. Di and other family members are waiting for them at the entrance. Khushi is taken to her bedroom. Arnav ordered HP to bring the luggage to his bedroom. Everyone gathered around Khushi and fired questions all at the same time. Arnav said he will explain everything at the dining table and asked HP to bring soup for Khushi. Arnav asked everyone to leave Khushi alone for sometime as she needs to rest and he said he will join everyone in an hour. Everyone left Khushi and Arnav alone. Arnav asked Khushi if she needs anything before he headed for bath. She nodded no.
Arnav left to take bath and Khushi felt strange being in her own bedroom. She hasnt seem him in the room for a while. Gush of emotions flowing through her mind but she is upset that she is not in a position to do anything because of her limited mobility. She always liked to be running around and she doesnt like the feeling of being patient. She wanted to get up and freshen up as she could smell hospital throughout her body. She thought once Arnav is back from shower, she would ask him to call her Jiji to bring in some hot water and towel to wipe herself.
Arnav took shower, dressed up and came out of the bathroom. Khushi was about to ask him to call her Jiji but she spotted him coming out of the bathroom with pot of water and hand towel. He came and sat next to her on the bed. He kept the pot on the floor and took the towel in his hand.
Arnav: Khushi, I thought you would like to freshen up after all that hospital environment.
He looked at her asking if she wants him to continue. She wondered how he knows what she was thinking.
Khushi: ArnavJi, please dont bother, I can ask Jiji to help me.
Arnav got annoyed hearing her. He felt rejected and he dropped the towel in the pot and got up from the bed. Just then HP came with soup. Arnav took out his anger on HP and yelled at him for being late in bringing soup. Khushi is confused as to why he is so angry all of a sudden. HP apologized and left the room. Arnav fixed bed tray infront of her and kept the soup on it. He got up to get the napkin. Meanwhile she reached out to the spoon with her left hand. Arnav grabbed the spoon and sat next to her on bed.
Arnav: I am warning you Khushi Kumari Gupta, until you fully recover dont even try to do anything without my permission. Now, can I feed you or do you want me call your Jiji to feed you.
She understood the reason behind his anger and smiled to herself. Arnav tucked the napkin carefully without touching her wound. Arnav filled the spoon with soup and brought it near her lips. She slurped it making fairly loud noise, in her own style. Arnav's reaction was What The and nodded Unbelievable. Khushi realized and raised her eyebrows felling embarrassed. He filled the spoon again and brought it to her lips, all prepared this time to hear same slurping noise. But to his surprise, she took it quietly. She stared at him and mesmerized with the way he is caring for her. He, on the other hand, is lost in his husband-duty. He is not even looking at Khushi's face. All he is concentrating on is soup bowl, spoon and her lips. He made sure she drank to the last drop of the soup. As she is done with the soup, he removed the tray and soup from the bed and came closer to her to wipe her lips. He is completely lost looking at her pink lips that he thought he is wiping delicate rose petals. All the while, she kept watching him. He is not looking into her eyes. As he wiped her lips, his body drew his closer to hers. He is not in his senses until she stopped him. She kept his left hand on his chest stopping him proceed further. Sense of awkwardness filled between them and in the room. Quickly, he regrouped himself and got up to leave.
As he was about to step out of the room, he asked if she needs anything else. She asked him to call her Jiji. He mockingly said, Yes your Jiji right, how can I forget. Saying this he stormed out of the room. She couldnt stop smiling and thought to herself, So Laad GovernorJi, this is your weakness...I guess I have to follow this approach to make you say it again.
Arnav informed Payal that Khushi needs her help. Payal left to see Khushi. Di asked Arnav if KhushiJi is doing OK. He nodded yes and headed to dining room to have lunch. Everyone else joined him for lunch except Akash as he said he will wait for Payal. Akash asked Di when Shyam Jiju is returning from tour. Arnav looked up and passively listened to their conversation. Di replied that he will be back by 5 days. Arnav tightened his fists and remembered everything that happened yesterday. NK was watching Arnav's anger from across the table and before anyone else could notice Arnav, he dropped the spoon on the floor. That brought back Arnav from his thoughts. Everyone completed their lunch and left to their respective rooms. Arnav met Payal on his way to his room and she told him that Khushi is sleeping.
Arnav still angry at Shyam, entered his room and paced across the room. He said to himself that he shouldnt tell anything to Di until her pregnancy is over. Then he looked at Khushi, sleeping in pain. She is not able to sleep peacefully, she is moving alot. I think she is in lot of pain, he thought. He sat next to her on bed leaning against headboard and gently stroked her forehead. She seemed to sleep peacefully now. Arnav too slowly dozed off to sleep.
Its about evening, Di and nani came to see Khushi. They got surprised to see both of them sleeping together with Arnav's hand on Khushi's forehead. They smiled at each other and Di closed the door behind them and left. After few mins, he woke up to see Khushi still sleeping. He admired her innocent beauty and felt proud that she belongs to him.
He got up to freshen up. By the time, he came back from the bathroom, Khushi trying hard to situp by herself. Arnav ran to her and asked if she is OK. He helped her situp and gave her some water. Rest of the evening passed by. Everyone had dinner and as usual Khushi had soup in her room. Everyone left to sleep. Only person who hasnot slept and worried is Arnav. He remembered what doctor said.
FlashBack: Mr. Raizada, there is high chance that your wife might get high fever at night due to infection in the wound and due to long sleep hours. In such case, make sure you wipe her entire body 3-4 times a night and also make sure you are always next to her holding her tight. This will reduce her fever and chills. She should be alright in 2-3 days.
Arnav paced across the room, frequently checking Khushi's temperature. He pulled his couch next to her and stayed close to her. He poured himself cup of coffee that HP gave him in flask before he ended his day. After an hour, he checked her body temperature and her skin is burning with heat. Her body is shivering. He noted the time as 2AM. He didnt feel right to wake Payal up. He made up his mind on what he is going to do next.
He closed all windows, turned off fan and A/C. He covered her with blanket upto her chest and unbuttoned her robe. He went into bathroom and got water with towel. He sat next to Khushi and leaned towards Khushi to wipe her body. He took the wet towel and started wiping from her face. He slowly moved to her neck, carefully wiping without touching her wound. He moved his hands underneath the blanket and wiped her chest. He could feel her raced-up heart beats. He wasnt sure if her heart is beating fast because of fever or his touch. It didnt matter to him at that point. He could feel each of her curvaceous assests. But it didnt really strike his mind that he is touching his wife naked for the first time. All he wanted is to reduce her fever. He proceeded further wiping her abdomen, thighs and finally her feet. He buttoned her robe again. He laid out folded handkerchief soaked in water on her forehead. He checked her temperature again. He was able to cut down a degree. Khushi in her sleep, pulled her feet up in pain. He sat near her feet and started massaging her feet. Unconsciously, she seemed to enjoy the warm massage he is giving.
An hour passed, he checked her temperature again. No improvement. He is worried that even medicines are not working. All this while he is been avoiding to do that one last step and seems to be impossible to avoid it. He recollected doctor's words..make sure you hold her tight...He thought he is got no other option left. He got up and slipped into her bedsheet. He hesitated for a min but after seeing her shivering, he took her in his arms holding her tight, careful enough not to touch her wound. He kissed her forehead and his eyes filled tears. He is not able to see her in pain. He tried hard to stay strong.
His tears touched her cheeks. She slowly opened her eyes. Unable to relate herself being in his arms, she thought its dream. She is very weak to understand whats going on around her. He looked at her and said everything will be OK Khushi. Dont worry, I am always with you. Hearing this, she smiled at him and pulled him towards her while holding his collar. MUAAHH.
Thats right, she kissed him on his cheek and closed her eyes still holding his collar. He smiled at her, holding her tight.
