Chapter 20
Khushi gasped as he slid his hand inside and cupped one cheek tight.
They lay on the sofa, lost in each other. She couldnt remember how they ended up in this position.
"Aar-mm" she bit his neck when his fingers touched her.
She was lying on top of him, his one arm around her while the other was down, busy. She didnt have much access to his body other than what she could reach out with her lips.
"I love you Khushi" he whispered in her ear.
"Shut up Arnav. Im tired of hearing it" she snapped and continued to trail kisses over his chest.
"When did you become so grumpy?" he asked.
"Are you serious?!" she asked in disbelief.
"What?" he gave her a innocent look.
"Arnav we are doing something right now and you want converse about my mood?"
"What are we doing Khushi?" he asked.
Her eyes went wide as his finger tip circled around first and then slipped inside and stayed there not moving.
"Arnavvv" she breathed heavily.
"Let go Khushi"
"What do I get?" she asked taking in as much air she could to breathe.
"Me"
"Yesss" she hugged him tight with whatever strength was left.
He sat up, moved her to the side and got off the couch. Smoothing out the wrinkles on his waistcoat he went into the room.
Khushi blushing crimson, buttoned her jeans back and ran her fingers through her hair.
Arnav came back out and stopped in front of her.
She raised her eyebrows at him. He kneeled down on his knee and took out a small box from the pocket of his pants.
Her heart had just regained its normal beating when the speed started increasing again.
"Arnav you dont have to -"
"Ssshh" he hushed her.
Taking her hand in his, he looked into her eyes and said, "Khushi I love you. I want you to be by my side always. This little time we were apart was the worst nightmare of my life. I want to make you mine forever. Will you let me Khushi? ...Will you marry me?"
At her nod, the ring was on her finger and she laughed at him.
"Arnav let me say yes" she giggled.
"Khushi, we men dont need words, actions are enough" he teased her.
"Whatever, I will say it anyways. YES" she screamed in his ear.
His back hit the ground as she flung her arms around him in a big hug.

"So what made you like him?" Anjali asked with interest.
Leaving nani with Khushi's mother, Anjali had dragged Khushi away to talk more.
"He made me like him" Khushi replied biting her lip nervously.
"Did he now? How exactly did he do that?" Anjali raised her eyebrows.
"He cooked for me"
"He did what?!" she exclaimed.
"I know how to cook! H-he just wanted to I guess"
"Oh okay then" she turned her face away from Khushi to let the evil grin out.
Khushi wasnt sure why she was so nervous. It was all Arnav's fault, he had to make it sound so dramatic.
"Im not going to eat you. Chotte can be a loser sometimes. I was dying to meet from the time Arnav told me" she smiled.
"Whatever di, you were dying before that" Arnav walked into the room.
"Thats cause I found out through the housekeeper."
Khushi blushed hard.
"Di, arent you going to tell her how you have already started shopping?"
"Already?" Khushi asked confused.
"Yes chotte doesnt not want to wait more than necessary" Anjali complained.
"Umm Arnav I will be having all the rasams" khushi pointed.
"No you wont" he said.
"Yes she will" Anjali supported Khushi.
"Really di? You'll be siding with her now?" he asked.
"Yes, I have been waiting for this day. Your days of bullying are over chotte. We will rule now" Anjali folded her arms.
"Now? My beloved sister you have always ruled"
"Oh be quiet!"
She turned to Khushi and started talking about shopping, her brother, rasams, her brother and her brother and more of her brother.

Two months later...
Khushi played with the hair on his chest, resting her head in her hand.
"Arnav Im glad you brought us here tonight" she said softly.
"I had to, its our place" he replied.
"I like the sound of our" she smiled.
"Baby, everything is our" he played with the mangalsutar angling from her neck.
"We will visit home often right?"
"We have no choice but to. I rather listen to my ladies than face their wrath"
Khushi giggled at how Arnav Singh Raizada was controlled by women.
"Ohhh wait till you see them mad, you will know what I am talking about"
Khushi was shaking with laughter now.
"Mrs. Raziada it wont be good for you if you dont stop your laughter this instance" he fake threatened.
"Ohh Arnav" she sighed snuggling into him.
"Khushi?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you going to sleep?"
"Yeah"
"Why?"
"I am tired"
"The nights not over"
"So?"
"Khushi I have been waiting for this night since forever, you cant just finish it off so quick."
"But we already did it"
"We will do it again, and again, and again"
"Boy, do you plan on dying with exhaustion?"
"Exhaustion already Khushi? Looks like we have to work on your stamina..."
"Excuse me! My stamina is just fine. The whole day was I was busy and then for so many hours I had to walk around in a heavy lehnga, all you did was sit in your light comfortable sherwani"
"Really you think I was just sitting?"
"Then what?"
"I undressed you in four different ways, made you scream my name so many times..."
"Arnav!" she punched him.
"What? Cant I tell my wife what goes through my head?"
"No! Those kind of thoughts please keep them to yourself!"
He hugged her tight, "Khushi Im so happy you will always be with me now."
"Always"
"Arnav?"
"When are we going for our honeymoon?"
"When? Why cant we have it here right in this apartmemt. Its just you and me anyways."
"What? No!"
He chuckled at her, "I havent booked the tickets why?"
"Cause school starts in two weeks"
"So early?"
"Its not early."
"But I cant be away from you for long period of time"
"Arnav"
"What"
"It will be during the day. You will be at work anyways"
"Yeah but we used to have lunch together, walks together, ice cream together and so much more in those eight hours"
"I do get breaks in between classes. We can still do that together"
"Why cant you not go to school and stay home?"
"What! I love school, I want to study more!" she exclaimed.
"God, nerd!"
"So were you!" she punched him again.
"Thats it" he pushed her on her back and pinned her down.
"Mmm yes I want you" she bit her lip seductively.
"Whatever you say wife" he took her again just like he said he would.
