"Arnav-ji?" Khushi woke up, rubbing her eyes, "what happened?? How did i fall asleep?? Where are we??" She stretched and closed her eyes as she yawned.
"Khushi, you fell asleep because..." Arnav hesistated,
Better get this over and done with...Arnav said to himself.
"i drugged your drink so i could bring you to the airport." Arnav continued quickly.
He watched as Khushi's eyes flew open and looked around. He could see her getting angry so he closed his eyes internally cringing as he waited for the explosion... There was silence. Arnav opened one eye slowly and saw khushi sitting with her back turned to him.
Today just isn't my day, Arnav sighed and shook his head.
He put his arm on her shoulder. Khushi shrugged him off.
Arnav got up and kneeled in front of her, she turned her face away from him.
Arnav gently cupped her face in his hands and made her look at him. He looked at her and saw that his wife had been crying. Everyone knew that that was one thing he couldn't stand. Arnav already felt guilty, now he felt uber guilty.
You idiot!! We should have gone by boat! Arnav scolded himself.
"Khushi, please. Don't cry. Nothing happened! See? I'm still here.."
Khushi's teary eyes filled with anger.
"That's beside the point! The last time you came to the airport what happened?!?!" Khushi nearly shouted as tears streamed down her face. "You got KIDNAPPED! And then I was WORRIED SICK!! FOR WEEKS I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU!! WEEKS!!"
"But-" Arnav said in an attempt to stop her from freaking out.
"DON'T YOU "BUT" ME!! I TOLD YOU WE WEREN'T GOING INTO THIS BUILDING WITHOUT BODYGUARDS AND YOU DRUGGED ME! ME! YOUR OWN WIFE!!"
Everyone was staring. Khushi stood up in anger and walked away. She felt her duputta falling, she tried to adjust it, but she couldn't because someone was holding onto her duputta. She angrily turned around. Arnav was still kneeling in the same place, holding on to her duputta.
Everyone was still staring. The various couples around the departure lounge were watching intently,the wives were looking disapprovingly at Arnav while the husbands waited and watched to see how Arnav would console his fuming wife.
Khushi took a deep breath in and walked towards her husband in anger.
She held out her hand waiting. Arnav gave back her duputta. She turned around to leave again, Arnav quickly grabbed her hand.
"Please, listen to me for one minute"
Khushi turned back to look at her husband and waited.
"I'm sorry. But I only did it so I could show you that nothing would happen if we came into this airport," Arnav took both of Khushi's hands into his, and slowly stood up as he continued to look into his wife's eyes.
"I'm still here! No-one kidnapped me!" He paused to wipe his wife's tears.
"I only did this because i love you too much to let what happened before ruin any chances of us getting romantic getaways. That man already ruined the first months of our marriage. please don't let him ruin this too! I'm sorry!"
Arnav let go of khushi's hands and held his ears. "Please forgive me?"
"Flight AE4857 to Dubai is now boarding, please could all passengers make their way forward to gate 6!" the airport tannoy announced.
No-one in the departure lounge moved, they were all staring intently at Arnav and Khushi waiting for Khushi's reply.
That's our flight! Arnav thought to himself. He waited as he continued to hold his ears.
Khushi stared at her husband. She shook her head, tears continued to fall as she slowly reached up to bring his hands down.
"I really am sorry." Arnav repeated as he searched for an answer in Khushi's eyes.
Khushi put her hands around her husband and hugged him. Arnav sighed in relief as put his hands around his wife and hugged her back
Someone in the lounge clapped slowly, and the whole departure lounge slowly fell into applause and cheering.
Khushi looked around and realised everyone had been watching the fight between her and Arnav she tried to pull away, but Arnav smiled and firmly held her in place.
"Arnavji, everyone is looking..." Khushi whispered as she squirmed trying to pull back.
"Let them stare, I'm your husband. This is one of those that things nothing can inerrupt"
Khushi smiled and snuggled in further into her husband.
"Again, Flight AE4857 to Dubai is now boarding, so please could all passengers make their way forward to gate 6!" the airport tannoy announcer repeated.
Arnav finally pulled away and took khushi's hand
"Anything except that. Come on lets go, otherwise the flight will leave without us"
