Why do I have a feeling Akash is gonna propose to Khushi?
Edited:
Jiii ... Ummm ... Bre ... Breakfast ... Breakfast is ready ... Adit has already eaten ... I'll go get Adya ... I ... I made porridge for her ... She likes it ... Adit don't ... Do YOU like porridge? ... If you do you can have some ... If you don't, then NO problem ... Your breakfast is already prepared ... I like porridge though ... It ... Its good for health ... I think you should eat ... Are you not getting late ... You will be late' she blabbered nervously. When she finally dared to look up into his face she found that Arnav was grinning like anything, and it dawned on her that he was just teasing her. 'ARNAVJIII' she clamored, and stomped her way to nursery to get Adya for breakfast.
Loved the way you started off. Love the naughty side of Arnav.
'He is NOT an outsider Arnavji. He is a close friend of mine and Shyam bhai loved him too. I trust him completely' Khushi instantly defended Akash being called an outsider.
And that's from where the lovely morning of new couple spiraled downhill.
'Oh! Such eagerness to defend the Akash incredibly-close-to-me Roy' Arnav fumed.
I completely understand how he feels at the moment, but Khushi doesn't seem to get that he is jealous or that he is possessive. *sigh*
And in this jealous fury of his, his mind conjured up that Akash will in some way or the other always remain in her life, like a back up, waiting for him to make a mistake, or Khushi to realize that she might have made a mistake by choosing him. And in that weak moment Arnav caved in to his insecurities.
I love how you represent emotions and all those undercurrents and everything left unsaid.. The above paragraph is so simple, yet so encompassing. I loved it..
'He is not anyone Arnavji. You know him. He works for you. He'll not let any harm come my way. He is a darling' she tried to assure him.
Darling?? NOW THAT WAS THE LIMIT. Arnav could not trust himself to speak without hurting his less than a day old and at present very provoking fiance or scaring the daylights out of little Adya who was now curiously looking at him.
Seriously? Darling? Khushi needs to learn read Arnav. It was funny though, in some ways.
'Arnavji, I am not a mind reader. I can see that you are angry, but you have to tell me the reason. Is it about telling Akash?' she tried again.
'Its nothing. I have an urgent meeting. Gotta go' he hissed and started to make a move. Hell will have to freeze over before he tells her the reason of his discontent.
Khushi is right, she isn't a mind reader, but her ability to perceive things is different, because she of her innocence and her honesty. A rare combination that makes her rather endearing, except when she isn't able to see what is right in front of her.
Having never felt jealousy or possessiveness where Arnav is concerned she is certainly at a disadvantage of being able to understand some things..
Nowadays cooking had started to become therapeutic for Khushi, helping her unwind and sort out her thoughts. So today, while making lunch for Arnavji Khushi reached the decision to withhold the news from Akash until Arnavji comes around. Her fiance's comfort with things pertaining 'them' is more important to her than everything else. But what disheartened her a lot was that Arnavji had to spell it out that him and kids were her priority now, as if she does not understand that. In case he hasn't noticed, this family has been her priority all her life. All the people she had ever cared for have been from HIS family only, even her brother. HIS brother-in-law, HIS sister, HIS naniji, HIS niece and nephew and latest addition to the list HIM, so why would it be any different now? God knows why would he think that her priorities will lie with her friends and not him, specially now that they are engaged. Whatever he thinks, for her beginning yesterday, this intelligent and kind man, who has an irrationally fierce temper, is her responsibility and she HAS TO balance out his shortcomings by her own nature. And she thanked God that she was inherently just what the arrangement warranted, the calm one, and shall accept him just as he is, a LAAD GOVERNER. She chuckled at his new name while stirring his favorite curry.
I love the above para. Beautifully penned. Her thoughts come across so clearly. Kudos!
Her love, her all encompassing compassion.. it's awesome, how you have written it out..
First to befriend him, then to marry him. His obsession, his designs, his love, all HIS, he smiled wryly. Did she ever had any feelings whatsoever for him during all this? And what about Akash? The way she immediately defended him says it all, doesn't it? He closed his eyes in desperation.
Again, the emotive description- brilliant. All that is unsaid- his need, his frustration, his love, his patience and his impatience.
Left to his own devices, only thing that he could think of was to hold onto Khushi with all his might. Right or wrong, he did not know. In fact he did not WANT to know anything if that means loosing HIS Khushi. Only respite for him now would be if she reciprocates his feelings.'Please love me back Khushi, Please' he murmured.
That was Arnav at one of the vulnerable points in this story.. There is nothing more painful than unrequited love..
'Can I tell Akash after the wedding? Or maybe I can break the news to him directly on our first anniversary party, just so that he knows the reason of the party. What say?' And Arnav could not stop the corners of his mouth curve upwards at such a cute note. 'She cares for me more than her friend' he got elated like a child.
He is so easy to please. So endearing.
She was like tailor made for him. Yeah. SHE WAS HIS. ONLY HIS. He is not going to let her go, EVER. And did she not say that she will fall in love with him one day. He pledged to wait for that day patiently, and not let his insecurities get better of him. He was Arnav Singh Raizada. He does not do insecure-lover-boy. He was made of sterner stuff and Khushi has accepted him with her eyes open. Earlier where he was rueing the fact that he is unable to tell her about his love, he was thankful now that she entered into this relationship with her eyes open, for he knew that he could be very difficult to live with sometimes. With his love and her being so understanding, THEM, will work fine, just fine. Also he will have to start believing that this time fate will not play foul with him, no Akash Roy will snatch his happiness from him.
👏😆 I loved it..
The last part with the convo between the two of them was enlightening..
