She had just finished watching her favorite show in which the host had revealed that when a person truely loves another, he'll see that person whenever he closes his eyes. And true enough, the instant Khushi had closed her eyes, Arnav's face was the only face that surfaced from all the faces in her memory.
Not that she had any doubt about her love for her husband but this test removed any doubt if there had been any. Now she just wanted Arnav to try this test to see if he loved her truely or not.
The sound of door bell ringing jarred Khushi out of her train of thoughts. One look at the clock and she was flying down the stairs to greet her lovely husband back home.
She opened the door and slammed into him, hugging him furiously causing Arnav to chuckle in response.
"Why do have this feeling that no one's home today?" He asked mischievously.
"Arnav" she said a little shyly hitting him lightly on his chest as she pulled back.
"What? You know I'm right! When there's even one living soul in addition to us, let it be laxmi, you almost start treating me as a stranger!" he replied back, his eyes shining with humour.
"Oh exaggeration much?" She replied back lifting her eye brows. "Anyways, it just doesn't seem right being all touchy in front of your family. Ok now go and quickly have lunch! I've to talk to you about something" She said shoving him a little.
After lunch, Khushi made Arnav sit on his recliner in their room and asked him to close his eyes and tell her what he saw.
Arnav smirked already guessing that Khushi expected him to see her! He knew she had been watching that stupid love show these days. But he decided to play along and lying back on the recliner, he closed his eyes.
Khushi's face was instantly painted on his closed eye lids and an involuntary smile adorned his face.
"What did you see?" Khushi asked him impatiently.
"Oh Nothing" He replied nonchalantly as he tried to get up but Khushi pushed him back.
"You're not going anywhere until you tell me what you saw!" She ordered, her eyes flashing.
"You asked for it" he said shrugging his shoulders, "First I saw Ashum, then Grace and then... Basically a slide show started behind my eye lids of all the beauties working at AR these days" he said with a dreamy smile, trying hard to control his laugher on seeing Khushi's face.
Khushi's eyes were round as saucers while her mouth hung open.
"Khushi, what's wrong? Any problem?" Arnav asked her in a serious voice, thoroughly enjoying her reaction.
"No!" She snapped "Besides you're the one who always say that if people have a problem with you, its their problem not yours! So just leave it" She bit out.
Arnav tried his best to not give in to his laughter as he asked in what he hoped to be a disbelief tone, "I don't get it Khushi! Were you expecting a different answer from me?"
When Khushi looked too furious to answer, he simply shrugged his shoulders saying, "I've always told you that you should expect the unexpected too!" He replied trying his best to keep his face straight and the next moment he was jumping on one foot holding the other, yelping in pain cos Khushi had stomped on his foot.
"You didn't expect that, did you Arnav?" She asked him in a sweet voice laced with sarcasm before turning and picking up the folded clothes placed on their bed and stuffing them in the closet furiously.
"I'm the one who always dreamt of a perfect husband and I'm the one who got landed with him" she mumbled to herself.
Arnav who heard this chuckled lightly and asked, "Define a perfect husband, Khushi!"
Khushi turned her burning eyes towards him and replied in an annoyed, angry voice, "You wouldn't know, would you? A perfect husband does not bother his wife, does not cheat, does not lie, does not think about other girls..."
"And does not EXIST!" Arnav finished the sentence smiling lazily before getting up and hugging Khushi from behind, ignoring the death glares she was sending his way.
"Do you really think I would think about about other girls when I've got the most perfect girl in my life?" he murmured softly in her ear, sending tingling sensation in Khushi's entire body.
"So Whom did you see when you closed your eyes?" Khushi asked.
"Priyanka Chopra!" Arnav said exasperately. "YOU, Of course!" he replied placing a kiss on her cheek and was about to continue further when Khushi pushed him and ran away, singing, "Catch me If you Can, Mr Raizada!" and Arnav groaned then grinning wickedly he took after her...
They were the most extraordinary couple you'd come across. They Could not live WITH each other and they could not live WITHOUT each other.
When they were with each other, they annoyed the hell out of each other and just the thought of living without each other made their breath stop. They were the most imperfectly perfect couple, made just for each other.
