More than love..
Khushi was thinking about her babies, automatically a smile came on her face, Arnav was in office. Within 1 hour, he called 4 times, just to tell her "I love you..".Khushi touched her belly, she calculated the possible date when she conceived..those few days were so nice, the weather was so nice.Autumn was at its best, the full moon was there...the breeze was soothing...those fine days...
There was a sudden power cut, inverter was not working ,room was suffocating. Arnav took her to the poolside..lit a candle.They sat beside the pool, mild coldness was in the breeze.He caressed her cheek, her lips...a sudden urge passed through both of them...Arnav claimed her lips with his.It was very gentle yet intense, Khushi held him with all her might.
Arnav was in no hurry, as if that moment was for eternity..he kissed at her neck, collarbone..his hands roamed all over her body.Then he passed his hands under her clothing..there was no bed..."The floor is hard...shall we go to bed?"..Arnav asked slowly.
"No..don't stop..."..Khushi said with a deep moan..
The floor was untidy, soil was not cleaned, on the previous day new clay pots were brought, Arnav wanted to expand his garden, that evening , after coming back from the office, Arnav worked on his garden, prepared new soil...and spread new seeds over the soil. Servant was ordered to clean the floor on the next morning...
They rolled on the untidy floor, Arnav pulled down her salwar...pulled down his own trouser...her wrists was captured by Arnav's hand, her lips were locked by Arnav's lips..slowly Arnav got into her.He was not getting enough of her.
Khushi gasped for a moment, looked at Arnav, pulled his mouth on her bosom, he got furious, no way he showed any mercy upon her body then, he was not going to stop his lips and teeth..and Khushi had no wish to stop him.
"So much soil, clothes got dirty..."..Khushi said..
Arnav stripped her within a minute and himself left all his clothing..then positioned himself on her..."I wish you plant some seeds of beautiful flowers ...see the season is so nice..."..Khushi said in a melancholic tone..Arnav's heart ached hearing this.He looked at his wife...suddenly he thought of something...
"Relax..I will "
"When..."
"Right here..right now..."..Arnav said without blinking...
It took one moment to understand...Khushi was out of words..then took him in her arms..Arnav entered into her..again..with all his strength...as if he wanted to reach to her womb..she must get pregnant..right here..right now...this is the moment..
The nature was there..there was water, there was soil, there was fire, there was air...and there was a sky full of stars...five elements were there, at their best form..their child must be special..with the freshness of air, the purity of the fire, the strength of the soil, the depth of the water...the moral highness like the sky...
When she got to know about her pregnancy, situation was different and very difficult.Eventually she left him and he left the country...she fought with herself , she didn't want to call him..she was angry..why should she call that man who becomes judgemental on every second issue? How could even he think about her like that...he had no right to know about the child...
Then she thought that time, how she conceived..and it drove her to the extreme, and she called him.She was dying to see him, she was dying to have a big fight with him, she couldn't even stay away ,for a single moment ,from him...how she lived without him for such long time...?How she would live the rest of her life?
Leaving him was not only depriving him, but she was depriving herself.She was being unfair to herself only.But her ego was stopping her from admitting the fact.But she had done the main thing, she called him, he would bring her back by all means...she knew it very well.
From that day...the way he is taking care of her...Khushi feels really bad thinking that why she ever thought that she would never share the parenthood with him...
And, she felt a strong kick inside her.She winced in pain...
"Khushi...what happened?"..Payal called her, she came to give her food, now a days a mere movement takes a huge amount of toll from Khushwant..so everything is being provided to her..maximum,she can go to the pool side, Arnav gets very upset when she tries to get out of the room, he doesn't want her to use the steps.He doesn't want her to climb stairs, he came heavily upon her when he caught her making such attempts.Other members of Randhawa House wasn't spared also..Arnav acted insanely...
"Khushi..shall I call the Doctor?"..Payal asked again..
"Nothing Jijee, it's just a kick..."
"They are asking for more space..that is why kicking..."..Payal said smilingly and offered her the food.
Payal got a call then, it was from Anjali...
"Hii..how are you?"
"Fine..where is Khushi?"
"With me..."
"Have you people lost it?..Why taking chance? She can go in labour any time..why are you taking risk?"
"Don't worry...things will be done..how is Sid?"
"Sleeping..."
"Then take care of him, why are you disturbing his sleep?"
"He is with his Dad...I am in the corridor...but talk to Arnav..."
"I will...talk to Khushi..."..Payal gave the phone to Khushi...
"How is Sid..?"..Khushwant asked...
"Ask me also..everyone..is after Sid..even Arnav .."How is Sid?...".."..Anjali teased Khushi..
"Tell me...how are you?"
"Screwed..totally..Shyam missed his office today, again..if this goes on...he will be kicked out from the office..."
"Ohhh..please...does he really need to be employed? He can open his own business..."
"For that also..he needs to go to office..and from the last 48 hours..he didn't leave Sid..."
"That is good...you should be happy..."
"You are not getting it..Shyam has gone mad...he is placing order on net..and every second day..delivery boy comes...one spare room is packed with toys..."
"Chill...you take the charge and control..."
"But..I am upset ..why are you in home...you should be admitted..twins..any time you can get into labour..and till now you didn't get labour pain..I mean..very normal for twins.."
"Di please...they will not stay inside forever..they have to come out..things will be okay..don't tell this to Arnav..already he is eating my brain..when kids will come..when they will be with us..I am sick and tired...how do I know..? Is it in my control?"
Anjali broke into laughter..."Khushwant..you have a classic sense of humour.. okay..I have to go..Sid is crying...bye for now..."
"Bye.."
Khushwant looked at Payal who was also laughing...Khushi got frustrated.."I wish you also get pregnant soon...then you will have the real taste of your husband's insanity..I tell you.."..said Khushi..
Payal laughed more...said .."Now eat...you are hungry..that is why you are loosing temper.."
"Jijee..please...I am not loosing temper..."
"Okay..now eat.."
********
Dinner was over...Arnav was roaming around the poolside...suddenly he heard footsteps..he knew who was coming..Arnav looked at the shadow from his eye corner...it looked funny but adorable..
She was taking slow steps,she was too heavy to move fast,she saw her husband's back..he was looking at the sky.He really enjoys her slow step proceeding towards him..she was about to touch his shoulder ..and he turned..smiled..
"I am sorry.."
"What?"
"I am sorry.."..said Khushi with teary eyes..
"Now what have you done?"..Arnav asked..
"For leaving you...that time..for not telling you, the very moment when I came to know ,that you are going to be a father.."...
Arnav kept silence for some time..."Who named you as Khushwant..always you are crying..!.."..teased her.
"Arnavjee..I am serious.."
"Me too..and I don't want to listen all these crap..again..keep that in mind..say something which will please me, make me happy..."
"What do you want me to say?"..
"Well..."..he took her in his embrace.."like...I love you..."
"I do not love you.."..said Khushi..
"What?"..Arnav caught her face '"What did you say..say again..?"
"I do not love you.."..said Khushi...
"Okay...then?"
Khushi smiled..and put her head on his chest...and said.."What I feel for you.. that is more than love..more than anything.I just can't find the right word.I just cannot express verbally , how I actually feel when you are with me...I just want to be with you...for this moment..for every moment..forever..."
Arnav smiled...kissed on her forehead.."Shall we sleep? You look tired..come on..."
