Thanks for the beautiful Christmas present especially this long update 😊
The update was fabulous 🤗
Though I like all the lines quoted below, @ Red are the words that touched my heart the most

He walked in that same conference room, it had been just few hours that he hadn't seen her but felt way too long.
"Good afternoon Mr. Raizada." She greeted, walking pass him'.
While pinching his shoulder ❤️ , under the file, cleverly hiding it from the rest of the office...
He had just seen her few hours ago at home but it seemed like he hadn't for the longest time'
What kind of idiotic feeling was that?
But today, she wasn't the one with that baggage. It was him who had to work hard to hide it. It was his decision, until Aashna was comfortable enough with him.
I wonder how he must feel in my shoes?
"Oh okay. You seem happier than all three combined years that I have known you. What's going on? Are we missing something?"❤️
Why did he always look that good?
How was that even possible?
She decided to bother him today'.
Sorry to pinch you. Did that hurt? ;)
She read that.
And then blinked.
And then her eyes dilated.
Recalling their night.
Last night.
Did I pinch him?
No, of course not.
Why would I pinch him?
Then she remembered that steamy session'..
How he made love to her'..
How he made her feel'.
Physically.
And
Emotionally.
She still didn't know how he was capable of doing that'' ❤️
Making her lose all her senses.
Over and over again.
In the same night.
When did I pinch him? She tried thinking again. She texted.
I did not pinch you. What are you talking about? ❤️
You didn't? Then who made that scar?
The opening lines of the update was awesome. The phrase 'missing his love ' was explained beautifully. The way Arnav missed her, though he met her only few hours back & his eyes searching for her was lovely. Khushi's naughty act was adorable 😳 I loved the exchange of message, especially the part where Khushi was confused whether she pinched him last night 😉 It was nice of Karan to notice every small change in Khushi during the meeting

IT WAS ME. I will pinch you, scratch you and give you scars anywhere I want on your body. You are MINE. Only Mine. Get it?❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Got it Khushi Ji. When would you like my body for your violent services again? ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Only his voice could make something so silly sound so seductive.
Khushi Ji.
What?Her eyes widened again.
What was that about?
What is wrong with him?
He is so shameless. ❤️
How could he even say that here?
When everyone else is right here?
So?
It's not like he said it out loud.
She smacked her little brain, mentally.
She texted back.
I am NOT violent.
Reply.
Of course! Not right now!
I am NEVER violent and even if I am, it's all your fault. You make me like that.
She pressed send.
Realizing little too late what she just wrote.
She looked up to see him.
His hands were about to reach his flashing phone.
Her heart started beating fast.
Faster.
By each second.
How she wished she could stop that hand of his. ❤️
She just stared in terror.
In embarrassment.
"NO" She screamed. Everyone turned to see her. Karan asked "what's wrong Jalebi?" ❤️ ❤️
"Yes. I need'..your phone''I mean''a phone''my phone is not working''I need phone." Stammered Khushi.
Before she could say anything, Arnav slid his phone across the conference room table without even saying anything.
And felt stares.
One particular stare.
From the right side of the table.
Roshni's.
She saw her from the corner of her eye.
She sure was staring at her in a very surprising yet nasty look'.
Khushi getting on her nerves due to Roshni ogling over Arnav clearly shows her extent of possessiveness over him. The part where Khushi realized only after sending the message in a hurry & she screaming 'NO' 😆 in the meeting was beautifully captured in words

She got up, and walked out. With that phone.
Roshni looked at Arnav, he seemed too careless and neither did the rest of the people seemed to care.
That was odd.
Why would she take his phone and leave the room? Thought Roshni.
And why didn't Mr. Raizada say anything.
He asked "what do you mean two?"
She replied "Khushi, who else?"
"What? How is that possible? Khushi doesn't like parties?" He couldn't help but ask in his outright surprised voice.
K continued "Yeah, and the other two, she only went because Dad had asked her to come, she never says no to him. No wonder my dad loves her. If it was for him, he would anytime replace me with her." And she giggled.❤️ ❤️
"Me too." said Karan.❤️ ❤️
The DJ played the song, she heard the song, she somehow got herself to go to the dance floor and started crying''what was that song''Teri Meri'..I think''"
"She is not here right now, she won't know I was talking about it. And don't tell her or I will kill you."❤️ ❤️ ❤️
He just sat there listening to this brand new information about his wife.
About Khushi.KHUSHI.
Who was nothing but a party person.
What were they talking about?
Who were they talking about?
He wasn't even sure if they were talking about the same Khushi or not.
Weddings. He heard wedding. She hates wedding. Khushi hates weddings.
Everything suddenly went numb.
He couldn't hear anything anymore.
Too many memories flashed in his mind.
Too many negative memories.
Weddings.
Liked it when Khushi held Arnav's phone possessively after knowing that Roshini had noticed her. Roshini is jealous for Arnav giving Khushi the liberty with his phone... I wonder what Roshini will do on knowing that Arnav is Khushi's husband ..... imagining how loud will Roshini's heart break 🥺 sound be 😆
Hope Arnav does something to bring back his old chirpy Khushi on learning of her changed self from Karan & K. I admire & respect Karan's father for giving so much of importance to a unknown girl (brought home by Karan) due to her good heart & hard working nature. Moreover, Karan & K taking this attitude of their father in an optimistic way & not raging in jealousy over Khushi was remarkable 👏 Adore Karan's family a lot. It's hard to find wonderful people like them in today's world.

He still couldn't believe they were talking about the same Khushi.
The Khushi who had crashed Aakash's cocktail party.
The Khushi who had served everyone Indian food and drinks there.
The Khushi who had danced on Desi Girl at that party.
The Khushi who basically brightened up that party.
That Khushi?
The Khushi who didn't even need a reason to dance around the house.
The Khushi who even taught Lavanya to dance on Bollywood music.
The one that danced like crazy during the Sangeet just to win that competition.
The Khushi that had even mimicked him!
The Khushi that even danced on Holi just to pacify Nani.
Even though she was heartbroken herself. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The new woman she had become. Moving on with her new life but yet to move on with her heart
His daze broke by the most pleasant voice in the room "sorry Karan, here is the file."
She walked passing him, slowly placing his phone back on the table...
Right next to his hand'.
Making sure she touched his hand'.
And his coat sleeves'..
While leaving'..What happened?
Nothing sweetheart. Why did you ask?
I would rather hear you talk sweetheart. You want to talk? ❤️
She quickly typed.
Work. Do something!
Do something? You like me to do something right now? Here?
If I say yes, you would?
"Moving on with her new life but yet to move on with her heart"
Each & every word in this line is exquisite.
Arnav reminiscing over the old Khushi & reformed Khushi making a comparative analysis of how she has changed in the years was well portrayed. Admired Arnav for composing himself quickly & not showing his worry to Khushi. Liked Arnav's lovey-dovey text messages 😊

He read that. Then saw his wife's face. She was biting her lips, less in anticipation, more in nervousness. He smiled inwardly. Knowing exactly what she must be thinking.He typed'
Try me.
How was this possible? How was he still able to do this? If anything, today was her turn to torture him. Not the opposite.
When it was her condition, he played her like a marionette. ❤️
Now it was his condition, and he was he still doing the same.
Hiding her unwanted blush from that message.
And her wanted irritation from that same message.Where was the old Khushi?
The happy Khushi.
The cheerful Khushi.
The carefree Khushi.
The clumsy Khushi. ❤️
That Khushi.
His Khushi.
Where was she?
He couldn't help but recall her outburst that night at their home. How much she hated her old self. How much she didn't want to be like her old self. How she had changed herself in this modern, independent, confident, professional woman but hid the real her somewhere deep down. ❤️
And she hid it so well under that smile. ❤️
How was it possible for someone to change so much?
Was that really true?
Had she totally forgotten her old self?
That Khushi.
The one that he actually fell in love with.
That Khushi.
Where was she?
Would she ever come back? ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️It was high time she met with herself again.
The real Khushi.
It was hilarious when Khushi hid her face behind the file & stuttered to both Karan & Arnav's question. Nice to know that Khushi has become more confident & independent than before but miss her lively side.

Did she hear someone address her ma'am in his office?
Why?
"You know me?" The receptionist replied "Yes ma'am, I am officially told by Mr. Raizada to attend to you personally regarding any calls or concerns."
She wasn't expecting that. But that was nice to hear.
It was a warm feeling.
She hung up.
In pure irritation.
And anger.
And confusion.
How long is your meeting?
Another hour or so!
Was he really in a meeting?
He must be, why would he lie?
Then why did the receptionist say otherwise?
What does she know, she is just a receptionist.
Something must have come up.
Yes, maybe something important.
But what?
Why wasn't she convinced?
He had never done this before.
NEVER.
She was always his priority, since they had met again.
Why was he ignoring her now?
That feeling of being ignored was getting too much for now.
Why was she feeling like that?
Is he really avoiding me?
Or I am just paranoid?
Stop thinking Khushi! She tried convincing herself. But failed.
Though her heart knew not to doubt him...
Her mind didn't let her stop...
Pitted Khushi b'coz she couldn't distract herself from the thought of being ignored by Arnav. Loved her self talks, especially the ones she convinces herself that Arnav is beyond doubts.

She had checked her phone unlimited times within the last few hours but it was as quiet as night.
She had never gone this long without talking to him since'..since she told him everything.❤️
He had never gone this long without talking to her.
They had never gone this long without hearing each other's voice.
She felt an unbelievable queasiness in the pit of her stomach.
It was uncomfortable.
It was unsettling.
It was unwelcomed.
But what she couldn't fail to stop herself from was those unwanted thoughts in her mind'
In her heart'
She could already feel the distance between them.
The doorbell rang and she ran to the door like there is no tomorrow. ❤️She showered him with questions before he even entered'..
"Where have you been? Why didn't you call me after the meeting? Why are you so late? Where was your meeting? Why'.."
"I called you back several times, you were not in the office, your phone was off and you never returned my call. Your turn!" He replied.
He interrupted "did she say Mrs. Raizada?"
And he whispered "if you don't want me to do anything while Naina and Aashna are here, then why are you wearing my t-shirt?"❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
And he let her go.
With a grin.
Khushi's perplexed state as to why Arnav was ignoring her was well brought out. Loved it when Khushi ran to the ring of the door bell & poured out her queries to Arnav.
