Early update! Plz read the note at the end of this part.
Thanks for the likes & comments! Over to..
Part 67
Khushi(running a hand thru his hair): Arnavji..
Arnav opens his eyes to find Khushi gazing at him with a sweet smile.
Khushi: Shaam ho gayi hai. Uth jaaiyye..
Arnav(shocked): Really?
Khushi(nods): 6 baj gaye hain.
Arnav: Pataa hi nahi chalaa ki kab aankh lag gayi!
Khushi: Achchha hi hua naa! Iss hi bahaane aapko aaraam mil gaya. Ab dekhiyega aap bilkul tar-o-taaza mehsoos karenge!
Arnav smiles at her vocabulary.
Khushi: Chaliye,ab uthiye aur haath,moonh dhokar aaiyye. Aapki coffee aap ka intezaar kar rahi hai!
She is about to withdraw her hand from his head when Arnav stops her by holding her hand.
Khushi: Kya hua?
Arnav shakes his head & shifts his focus to her hand.
He holds her fingers & presses a gentle kiss to her palm.
Then he looks at her hand & frowns deeply.
Khushi: Kya hua? Bhauvein(eyebrows) kyun kas li aapne?
Arnav (runs his thumb along the length of her fingers): Tumhare haath dry ho gaye hain..
Khushi: So toh hone hi the! Kashmir me itni thand jo thi. Aur humne kal naa jaane kitni baar Dal lake me haath daal-daalkar aap par paani udaaya! Tab hi haathon ki yeh haalat hui hai!
Arnav smiles as he recalls their shikara ride on the previous evening.
Khushi: Aap chinta mat kariye. Hum ghar jaate hi sarson ka tel mal lenge haathon me. Usse rookhapan (snaps her fingers) chutki me door ho jayega!
Arnav(makes a face): Noways! Sarson k tel ki smell bahut.. horrible hoti hai! Tumhe woh sab lagaane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai! Main tumhare liye body butter lekar aaunga,tum woh lagaa lena.
Khushi: Achchha theek hai. Woh sab hum baad me dekhenge. Filhaal aap uthiye toh sahi!
Arnav gets up after kissing the back of her hand. And that's when he spots Asiya watching them.
Asiya,who catches Arnav's embarassed expression,is embarassed herself upon being caught.
Asiya: M.. maaf kijiyega! Hum toh bas.. bachchhon ko jagaane aaye the..
Khushi: a.. hum bhi jaa hi rahe the,buaji ko jagaane..
She quickly goes towards the 2 tier AC coach.
Asiya looks at Arnav who gets down from his berth without saying anything.
Asiya: Humein.. maaf kijieyga! I'm.. really sorry!..
Arnav nods & goes towards the lavatory.
Asiya(thinks): Mashallah! Khushiji kitni khushnaseeb hain jo unhe aise shauhar mile hain! apni biwi ka kitna dhyaan rakhte hain Arnavji! (sighs) Aur ek humare shauhar hain jinhe kaam se fursat hi nahi milti hai. Aur jab ,Khuda ki rehmat se, thodi bahut fursat mil jaati hai tab unhe humara khayaal nahi aata hai.
She looks sadly at her hands.
Asiya(thinks): Humein toh yaad bhi nahi hai ki aakhri baar kab unhone itni mohabbat se humara haath thaamaa tha?
Hamdaan: Ammi?
Asiya(comes back to the present): Ha bete,boliye..
Hamdaan: Kya soch rahi hain aap?
Asiya: Kuch khaas nahi. Aap uthiye aur shoes pehen lijiye. Hum tab tak aapki aapa ko jagaate hain.
Hamdaan: Humein thodi aur der sona hai..
Asiya: Aap pehle hi bahut so chuke beta,ab uth jaaiyye. Itni der tak nahi sona chahiye.
Hamdaan: Kyun?
Asiya: Aap iss waqt so jayenge toh aapko raat ko neend nahi aayegi. Phir aap humein aur aapa ko pareshaan karenge. Chaliye,uth jaaiyye..
Arnav enters the compartment at this point of time.
Hamdaan: Ammi.. sone dijiye naa.. plz!
Asiya: Nahi beta. Aap raat ko so lijiyega. Chaliye,chaliye jaldi uthiye! Aapk abbu ka phone aata hi hoga..
Hamdaan reluctantly gets up.
Asiya(to her daughter): Razaan,uthiye beta. Thodi der me aapk abbu ka phone aanewala hai.
Razaan rubs her eyes & yawns.
Asiya: Jaldi uth jaiyye. Warnaa aapk abbu ko humein bataana padega ki aap so rahi hain. Aur phir aapko pataa hai naa ki aage kya hoga?
When Razaan does not get up even after saying all that,Asiya decides to imitate her husband.
Asiya: Aapk abbu kahenge "Yeh kya badtameezi hai? Yeh koi sone ka waqt hai kya?"
Razaan immediately opens her eyes wide.
Asiya(imitates): "Aap ne hi zyaada laad-pyaar kar k inn dono ko bigaad diya hai,begum. Unse sakhti se pesh aaya kijiye. Agar woh dono uthne k liye raazi na ho toh lagaaiyye dono ko ek-ek tamaacha!"
She turns to Hamdaan to find him sitting up straight.
.
Asiya: Behtar hai. Chaliye,apne shoes peheniye aur aapa k saath washroom hokar aaiyye,varnaa sach me humein aur aap dono ko abbu se daant khaani padegi.
The kids hastily follows her orders.
Asiya turns to find Arnav staring angrily at her.
She waits till the kids r out of earshot distance.
Asiya: Waise toh.. humein baar-baar inhe in k abbu k naam se dhamkaana achchha nahi lagtaa hai,par hum bhi kya kar sakte hain? Dono hi bahut ziddi hain. Aur jab zidd par utar aate hain toh hum inhe sambhaal nahi paate hain. Isiliye..
Arnav: Yeh aapka personal matter hai. Aapko mujhe koi bhi explanation dene ki zaroorat nahi hai.
He walks towards the lower berth in order to make coffee for himself.
Asiya(thinks): Yeh bhi kaafi kadak hain. Par.. unka ravaiyyaa shaayad humare saath hi aisa hai. Kamaskam apni biwi se toh tameez aur mohabbat se pesh aate hain yeh. Humare naseeb me toh.. yeh bhi nahi hai.
She walks towards the lavatory leaving behind Arnav who is lost deep in thoughts.
________________________________________________________________
**Later that night..**
Khushi wakes up in the middle of the night to drink water when she finds Arnav missing from his berth.
Khushi(shocked): Hey Devi Maiyya! Arnavji kahaan chale gaye?
She calls him only to find his phone lying on his berth.
Khushi(thinks): Hum kuch der raah dekhte hain. Agar Arnavji agle 10 minton me nahi aaye toh hum.. jaakar babuji ko jagaayenge.
Luckily for her Arnav enters the compartment within 7-8 minutes.
He's quite surprised to find Khushi awake.
Arnav: Tum..
Khushi(interrupts): Sshhh!
Arnav(whispers): Tum jag kyun gayi? Pair me phir se baitaa chadh gaya kya?
Khushi: nahi,hum toh paani peene k liye jage the. Aap kyun iss waqt jag rahe hain?
Arnav: Kuch nahi. Main bas.. washroom se hokar aaya.
Khushi doesnt tell him that she'd been awake for more than 10 minutes.
Arnav: So jao,goodnight!
Khushi: Ji,aap bhi so jaaiyye. Alarm lagaa diya hai naa aapne?
Arnav nods.
Khushi: Theek hai.
She pretends to go to sleep while secretly observing him thru half open eyes.
Khushi(thinks): Arnavji pareshaan lag rahe hain. Isiliye shaayad unhe neend nahi aa rahi hai.
She peers down to find Asiya & her kids sleeping soundly.
Khushi(thinks): Asiyaji aur bachchhe toh so hi gaye hain. Ab tak toh baaki k yatri bhi sone chale gaye honge ya so chuke honge. Abhi hum Arnavji se baat kar sakte hain. Aur humein karni chahiye varna woh akele sochte rahenge aur so bhi nahi paayenge..
She calls him as softly as possible but he does not respond.
So she makes a ball of her dupatta & throws it at Arnav's berth,aiming at his chest.
Arnav: what the..!?
Khushi flashes light from her mobile on his face.
Arnav squints his eyes & covers her face with his hand.
Khushi(thinks): Ab tak toh yeh samajh hi gaye honge ki humein unse baat karni hai. Phir bhi 1 message bhej hi dete hain.
Before she could type a message Arnav throws back the dupatta which hits Khushi's face.
Khushi(hisses): Hey Devi Maiyya!
Arnav immediately gets down from his berth & is about to climb onto khushi's when she stops him.
Khushi(whispers): Waheen rukiye. Hum aa rahe hain.
After climbing down,she holds his hand & drags him towards the lavatory.
Arnav: Khushi?
Khushi(whispers): Ssshhh! chup-chaap chaliye..
Once they're outside the coach,she stops short of the lavatory,near the door.
Khushi: Ab bataaiyye,kya samasya hai?
Arnav(frowns): What samasya?
Khushi: Woh hi samasya jo aapko pareshaan kar rahi hai. Aap dopeher se gum-sum hai. Aapne naa toh coffee pee aur naa hi theek se khana khaya. Aur toh aur aapne raat hone ki baad bhi,1 bhi baar,kisi se bahaane se humein akele baahar laane ki koshish nahi ki. Kuch toh hai jo aapko pareshaan kar raha hai. Aur hum jaanna chahte hain ki woh kya hai?
Arnav(avoiding her gaze): Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai,Khushi. Its just that.. I'm tired.
Khushi: Humare saamne jhooth bolenge toh pakde jaayenge! Dopeher me sone k baawajood aapki thakaan na miti ho aisa toh ho hi nahi saktaa! Ghuma-phira k baaton ki jilebi mat banaaiyye! Sach-sach bataaiyye Arnavji,kis baat se pareshaan hain aap?
Arnav gives up & hugs her,crushing her to himself.
Khushi,who is taken aback by the sudden hug,responds nonetheless by wrapping her arms around him.
She gives him time to come out with the truth on his own.
Arnav: Mujhe.. dar lag raha hai,Khushi..
Khushi: Kis baat ka?
Arnav: I wont b a good father to my kids. Main.. naa toh unhe sambhaal paaunga aur.. naa hi.. ek father ki saari duties nibhaa paaunga.
Khushi(breaks the hug): Kisne kaha aapse yeh sab?
Arnav: Kisine nahi. Maine khud mehsoos kiya ki.. main nahi ban paaunga ek achchha dad!
Khushi: Ab tak bachchha aaya ya aayi bhi nahi hai aur aapne abhi se yeh tay kar liya ki aap ek achchhe pita nahi ban paayenge!? Aise kaise? Koi toh baat hogi jisne aap ko yeh sochne par majboor kiya ki aap.. apne bacchhhon k liye ek achchhha pita saabit nahi ho paayenge. Aisa kya ho gaya?
Arnav cites the example of Asiya's husband.
Arnav: Unki baaton se mujhe lagaa jaise woh meri hi baat kar rahi ho. Main bhi bahut gussa kartaa hoon. Baat-baat par chillaata hoon. And I really lack patience! On top of that,main tumhe hi kam time de paata hoon toh main.. bachchon k saath time spend kaise kar paaunga? Phir shaayad.. humare bachchhe bhi mujhe hate karenge,mujhse darenge. Main bhi shaayad.. aage chalkar unk husband ki tarah..
Khushi(interrupts): Nahi! Aur aap aisa sochiyega bhi mat! Asiyaji k pati ko badi jaldi gussa aa jata hai aur aap ko bhi badi jaldi gussa aata hai. Gusse me aakar aap dono cheekhte-chillate hain. Aap dono k beechh ki samaanta yahaan khatam ho jaati hai. Uss k alaava aap bilkul bhi unk jaise nahi hain! Kyunki har baar jab aap hum par cheekhte hain,tab aapko bura lagtaa hai. Aap humse maafi maangte hain,jaise aapne aaj dopeher ko maangi thi,taxi me! Aap humara bahut achchhe se dhyaan rakhte hain,humein khush rakhte hain aur humari har baat bina kahe samajh jaate hain! Theek waisa hi aap humare bachchon k saath bhi karenge! (cups his face) Aap bilkul chinta mat kariye,Arnavji! Aap duniya k sabse achchhe pati hain! Aur humein poora vishwaas hai ki humare bachchhon k liye aap duniye k sabse achchhe pita saabit honge!
Arnav(holds her hand): Nahi Khushi. Aisa.. bachchhon ko maamle me nahi hoga.
Khushi: Kyun nahi hoga?
Arnav: Kyunki.. tum badi ho! Bachchhe kitne.. chhotey aur delicate se hote hain. Main tumhe kas k pakadtaa hoon toh tum bruised ho jaati ho toh socho, kabhi maine.. gusse me aakar bachchhon ko aise pakda ya.. jaise tum kehti ho,unpar gusse me jhapat padaa toh kya hoga? Main nahi chahta ki mere bachchhon ko meri wajah se chot lag jaaye.
Khushi: Aisa kyun karenge aap? Jaan-bhoojkar kaunsa pita apne bachchhon ko chot pahuchata hai?
Arnav: Tumhare saath bhi main jaan-bhooj kar nahi karta hoon. Mujhse.. gusse me ho jata hai. Agar.. bachchon k saath bhi.. waisa kuch ho gaya toh?
Khushi: Aisa kuch nahi hoga aapse! Aap mat dariye! Apne bartaav ko badalna insaan k haath me hi hota hai. Humein poora vishwas hai ki jab tak bachchha hoga tab tak aap apne gusse par qaaboo karna seekh jaayenge. Aur agar nahi sekhenge toh bachchhe k aane k baad seekh jaayenge.
Arnav: Kaise?
Khushi(forces him to look at her): Humari taraf dekhiye..
When Arnav looks at her with doubt-filled eyes,Khushi gently cups his face.
Khushi: Jab aap bachchhe ko pehli baar dekhenge naa tab aap me pita banne se judi hui saari bhaavnaayein(feelings) apneaap se aa jaayengi. Koi bhi maa k pet se ma ya baap banne ki shiksha lekar nahi aata hai,Arnavji. Sab dheere- dheere seekhte hain. waise hi,aap bhi dheere-dheere apne gusse par qaaboo rakhna seekh jayenge! Aur jab aap uss nanhe se,pyaare se bachchhe ko dekhenge naa toh aapka khud ka man karega ki aap use khush rakhne k liye jo ban pade woh karein! Agar aapko uss k liye dheeraj(patience) rakhna pade toh aap woh bhi rakhenge. What the..!? kehna band karna pade toh aap woh bhi karenge! Aap uss ki khushi k liye woh sab kuch karenge jo mumkin hoga! Jaise aap filhaal humare liye kar rahe hain theek waise hi!
She kisses his forehead.
Arnav: R u.. sure ki aisa hoga? I mean.. main.. bachchhon k maamle me totally inexperienced hoon..
Khushi: ha,bilkul hoga! Achchha bataiyye,humse pehle kitni patniyaan thi aapki?
Arnav looks at her as though she'd suddenly grown horns.
Arnav: Yeh kaisa question hai?
Khushi: Bataiyye naa.. kya humse pehle aapki koi patni thi?
Arnav: Of course not,Khushi!
Khushi: Aap k paas patni ka toh koi experience nahi tha phir bhi aapne humse shaadi kar li! Jab aap bina experience k patni k saath khushi-khushi reh sakte hain toh bachchhon k saath kyun nahi reh paayenge? Sochiye..
Arnav: Point!
Khushi: Aapka shaatir dimaag kaheen so toh nahi raha hai naa?
Arnav frowns.
Khushi: Nahi.. aap.. aisi behki-behki baatein kar rahe hain isiliye humne poochha.
Arnav: Khushi,yeh mazaak ki baat nahi hai,okay? I'm damn worried!
Khushi: Aap worried hone ki zaroorat nahi hai! Tabse woh hi toh keh rahe hain hum!
Arnav: Okay,lets take this ur way. Mujh me feelings to bachchhe k aane k baad aa jayengi..
Khushi: hmm..
Arnav: Lekin.. bachchhon ko handle kaise kar paaunga main? I mean.. infant ko. Maine kabhi kisi bhi chhotey bachchhe ko godh me nahi uthaya hai aur.. baaki sab toh mujhe bilkul bhi nahi aata hai. In fact,jab Aakash chhota tha tab bhi maine usse godh me uthana tab start kiya tha jab woh 2-3 saal ka ho gaya tha. So,u know what I mean? Bilkul chhotey bachchhe ko main kaise handle karunga?
Khushi: Samay k saath seekh jayenge aap! Hum apne amma,babuji ki iklauti aulad hain. Jiji humse badi hain aur buaji k koi aulaad nahi hai. Humare sage- sambandhiyon me bhi zyaadatar bachchhe humse umr me bade hain. Isiliye bahut waqt tak humein bhi chhotey bachhhon ko sambhaalna nahi aata tha.
Arnav(inquisitive): Fir tumne kaise seekha? Kisi book se tips liye the?

Khushi: Ji nahi! Doosron ko dekh-dekh kar seekh liya! Mahaulle me jis k bhi ghar par bachchha hota hum aur humari saheliyaan wahaan pahuch jaati. Pehle bachchhe ko dekhte,phir ussk saath khelte. Phir humne bachhhe ko godh me uthaaya. Jab pehli baar humne ek 2 mahine k bachchhe ko uthaaya tha toh hum bhi bahut dare huye the. Par humari amma aur usski amma paas me hi the aur dono ne humse kaha ki hum usse uthaa payenge. aur sach kahein toh humara bhi bahut man tha usse godh me uthaane ka. Isiliye humne koshish ki. Aur humein bahut achchha lagaa! Phir humne dheere-dheere baaki sab seekha ki bachchhe ki langot kaise badalte hain..
Arnav makes a face.
Khushi(smiles): Usse khana kaise khilaate,dakaar kaise khilaate hain.
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: Ha! Chhotey bachchhe ko dakaar khilaane ka ek tareeka hota hai,jo pehle humein nahi pataa tha. Par dheere-dheere humne sab seekh liya!
Arnav: Aur tumne bahut achchhe se seekha hai. Andar dono bachchhe kam time me tumse kaafi attached ho gaye..
Khushi(smiles): Jaise hum seekh gaye waise aap bhi seekh jayenge. Theek hai?
Arnav: Okay..
Khushi: Ab chaliye,andar chalkar so jaiyye. 4:00 baje uthna bhi hai.
She turns to go when..
Arnav: Khushi..
Khushi(turns around): Ab kya hua?
Arnav: Agar main.. yeh sab kuch.. nahi seekh paya toh? I mean.. ek achchha dad nahi ban paya toh?.. Tum kya karogi?
Khushi(non chalantly): Aapko chhodkar kisi aur se shaadi kar lenge!
Arnav(shocked): What?
Khushi: Areh mazaak kar rahe hain! Chaahe jo ho jaaye,hum aapko nahi chhodenge! Theek hai? Ab chaliye..
She drags him inside the coach.
________________________________________________________________
** Later that night,1:00 am**
Arnav wakes up with a start.
Arnav: Khushi!
He looks at her berth to find her sleeping.
Arnav(realizes): It was a nightmare!(sighs audibly) I'm so relieved!
Feeling thirsty,he gets down from his berth and starts looking for the bottle of water on the table between the lower berths.
Arnav(thinks aloud): What the..!? Yeh paani ki bottle kahaan rakh di Khushi ne?
Khushi opens her eyes upon hearing her name from his mouth.
Khushi(whispers): Arnavji kya hua? Aap soye nahi ab tak?
Arnav: Nahi woh.. main so gaya tha but.. pyaas lagi isiliye neend khul gayi. Paani kahaan hai?
Khushi: Botal humare paas hai. 1 minute..
She hands him the bottle.
Arnav gulps down the water in one go.
Khushi(hand on his shoulder): Sab.. theek hai naa?
Arnav: Ha,sab theek hai.
Khushi: Aap sach me soye the ya.. aise hi keh rahe hain?
Arnav: Soya tha,Khushi. Zyaada socho mat! I'm fine. Tum so jao. Waise bhi subha hone me kam hi time bachaa hai.
Khushi: Aap zara 1 minute yahaan aayenge..
Arnav(confused): Kahaan?
Khushi: Humare berth par. Humein.. (lies) aisa lag raha hai jaise humare baaye kandhe me baitaa chadh raha hai.
Arnav: Toh main yaheen se rub kar deta hoon.
Khushi: Nahi,nahi! Wahaan se nahi hoga. Oopar aaiyye aur achchhe se maalish kar dijiye.
Arnav: Spray kahaan hai?
Khushi: Humare bag me hain. Aap pehle oopar toh aaiyye..
Once Arnav comes to her berth,Khushi tells him the truth.
Arnav: Pain kahaan ho raha hai?
Khushi: Kaheen bhi nahi! Woh toh bas.. aapko yahaan laane k liye kaha humne. Humein bataiyye naa Arnavji,ab kaunsi baat pareshaan kar rahi hai aapko?
Arnav opens his mouth to say something wen..
Khushi(interrupts): Iss baar jhooth mat boliyega. Aapko humari kasam hai!
Arnav(sighs): Okay,fine. Maine ek.. bura sapnaa dekha. Maine dekha ki.. tum aur Asiya train me baithe huye ho. Unk saath unk bachchhe hain aur tumhare saath humare bachchhe hain.
Khushi(smiles): Humare bachchhe? Kaise the woh? Humara matlab.. aapki tarah dikh rahe the ya humari tarah?
Arnav: Khushi maine utni details main imagine nahi kiya. Maine bas yeh dekha ki.. woh unk husband ki buraai kar rahi thi aur tum.. meri..
*nightmare*
Asiya: Zara sa bhi sabar nahi hain inn k abbu me?
Khushi: Sabar rakhna toh Arnavji ko aata hi nahi hai! Waise dekha jaaye toh unhe kuch bhi nahi aata! Na bachchhon ko sambhaal sakte hain,naa unhe khana khila sakte hain aur naa hi kahaniyaan banaa-banaa k sunaa sakte hain. Koi bhi kaam dhang se nahi kar sakte hain. Ha,bas 1 cheez hain jo unhe aati hai!
Asiya: Kaunsi?
Khushi: Romance karna! Yeh bakhoobi aata hai unhe! Do-do bachhhon k pita ho gaye hain phir bhi,jab mauka miley tab hum par jhapat padte hain,jaise bandar ped par lage phal par jhapat padta hai naa,theek waise hi!
Asiya laughs.
Khushi: Romance k alaava office ka kaam karna jaante hain. Bas! Iss k alaava kisi kaam k nahi hain humare lard governer!
Asiya: Ink abbu bhi waise hi hain!
Khushi: Hum toh Devi Maiyya se prarthna karte hain ki humara aur humare bachhon ka kisi tarah Arnavji se peechchhha chhootey! Khud se toh humein kabhi chhodenge nahi. Kuch aisa ho jaay jisse humein unse chhutkaara mil jaaye aur koi aise jeevan saathi miley jo humare bachchhon k liye duniya ka sabse achchha pita ban paaye! (with a dreamy look) Humein aise hi kisi insaan ki talaash hai..
Suddenly a man comes there from nowhere.
Man: Main woh insaan hoon jis ki aapko talaash thi. Main banunga aapk bachhhon k liye world's best dad!
Khushi(elated): Sach?!
Man: Of course! Chaahe toh aazmaa kar dekh lijiye..
Khushi(blushes): Kyun nahi? Chaliye..
Arnav: Khushi,wait!
Khushi: Chalo,chalo bachchhon! Naye papa k paas chalo..
The kids hold her hands & the three of them follow that man out of the coach.
Arnav: Khushi wait! Plz mat jaao! Khushi..
*end of nightmare*
Khushi(slams her forehead): Hey Devi Maiyya! Humein kya doodh peeti bachchhi samajhte hain aap? Ki koi humein toffee k khwaab dikhaayega aur hum uss k peechhe-peechhe chale jaayenge? Aap bhi na Arnavji! Khud aise sapne dekhenge aur phir humare sapnon ko wierd kahenge!
She holds his hand.
Khushi: Aapka sapnaa kabhi sach nahi hoga! Agar khud Salmanji bhi aakar humara haath maangenge naa toh hum unhe bhi manaa kar denge!
Arnav(shocked): Really?
Khushi: Ji,really! Ab yahaan aaiyye..
Arnav: Kahaan?
Khushi: Aam taur par hum aap k seene par sar rakhkar sote hain par aaj aap humare seene par sar rakhkar sone ki koshish kariye.
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: ab iss me what the..!? wali kya baat hai? Agar hum waise so sakte hain toh aap aise kyun nahi so sakte? Chaliye,aaiyye..
Khushi turns to her right & Arnav reluctantly lies down beside her,turning to his left.
Even more reluctantly he places his head on her bosom.
Khushi(ruffles his hair): Aaraam se let jaiyye. Hum bilkul theek hai. Humari chinta mat kariye!
She pulls him closer.
Khushi: Jab hum aapk seene par sar rakhkar sote hain naa toh humein suqoon milta hai. Aaj aapko bhi suqoon milega.
She threads her fingers thru his dishevelled hair.
Khushi: Aankhein band kijiye aur baaki sab kuch bhulaakar so jaiyye.
Arnav does what he's told.
Very soon he falls into blissful slumber while Khushi stays awake,worrying about him.

Early update! Plz read the note at the end of this part.
Thanks for the likes & comments! Over to..
Translation for Part 67
Khushi(running a hand thru his hair): Arnavji..
Arnav opens his eyes to find Khushi gazing at him with a sweet smile.
Khushi: Wake up. Its tea time..
Arnav(shocked): Really?
Khushi(nods): Yes,its almost 6 pm.
Arnav: I never realized wen I fell asleep!
Khushi: In a way it was good that u didnt realize coz u got some much needed rest this way. And now u'll feel as fresh as a daisy!
Arnav smiles at her vocabulary.
Khushi: Go & freshen up. Ur coffee is waiting for u!
She is about to withdraw her hand from his head when Arnav stops her by holding her hand.
Khushi: What happened?
Arnav shakes his head & shifts his focus to her hand.
He holds her fingers & presses a gentle kiss to her palm.
Then he looks at her hand & frowns deeply.
Khushi: Y r u frowning?
Arnav (runs his thumb along the length of her fingers): Ur hands hav bcum dry..
Khushi: They r bound to b since it was so cold in Kashmir. And I've lost count of the number of times I dipped my hand in Dal lake in order to splash water on u yesterday! My hands hav bcum worse since then!
Arnav smiles as he recalls their shikara ride on the previous evening.
Khushi: Dont worry. I'll apply mustard oil on my hands after reaching home. Then all the dryness will vanish(snaps her fingers) like this!
Arnav(makes a face): Noways! Mustard oil smells.. horrible! U need not apply anything of that sort! I'll get some body butter for u.
Khushi: Okay,we'll talk about that later. Right now,get up!
Arnav gets up after kissing the back of her hand. And that's when he spots Asiya watching them.
Asiya,who catches Arnav's embarassed expression,is embarassed herself upon being caught.
Asiya: M.. I'm sorry! I just came to.. wake up my kids..
Khushi: a.. I was also going to wake up buaji..
She quickly goes towards the 2 tier AC coach.
Asiya looks at Arnav who gets down from his berth without saying anything.
Asiya: Plz.. forgive me! I'm.. really sorry!..
Arnav nods & goes towards the lavatory.
Asiya(thinks): Mashallah! Khushiji is so lucky to hav a husband like him! Arnavji takes such good care of his wife! (sighs) And look at my husband who's always busy with his work. And wen,by the grace of the Almighty,he does get some free time,he never thinks of me.
She looks sadly at her hands.
Asiya(thinks): I dont even remember wen was the last time wen he'd held my hands so lovingly?
Hamdaan: Ammi?
Asiya(comes back to the present): Yes bete,tell me..
Hamdaan: What r u thinking?
Asiya: Nothing important. Get up & wear ur shoes. Meanwhile let me wake up ur aapa.
Hamdaan: I want to sleep for some more time..
Asiya: U've slept for a long time already beta,now u must get up. U must'nt sleep for so long at this hour.
Hamdaan: Y?
Asiya: Coz then u wont b able to sleep at night. And then u'll trouble me & aapa. Come on,get up..
Arnav enters the compartment at this point of time.
Hamdaan: Ammi.. lemme sleep naa.. plz!
Asiya: No beta. U can sleep at night.Get up fast! Ur abbu will call me after a few minutes..
Hamdaan reluctantly gets up.
Asiya(to her daughter): Razaan,get up beta. Ur abbu is about to call me.
Razaan rubs her eyes & yawns.
Asiya: If u dont get up now I'll hav to tell ur abbu that u're asleep. Then u know what he'll say,right?
When Razaan does not get up even after saying all that,Asiya decides to imitate her husband.
Asiya: Ur abbu will say "What nonsense is this? Is this the time to sleep?"
Razaan immediately opens her eyes wide.
Asiya(imitates): "U've spoilt these two with ur extra love & affection,begum. U must b strict with them. If they're not ready to wake up punish them with a slap!"
She turns to Hamdaan to find him sitting up straight.
.
Asiya: Thats better. Now wear ur shoes peheniye & go to the washroom with aapa or else ur abbu will actually scold me & both of u.
The kids hastily follows her orders.
Asiya turns to find Arnav staring angrily at her.
She waits till the kids r out of earshot distance.
Asiya: Even I dont like.. scaring these two by using their abbu's name but.. what can I do? They're very stubborn. And wen they're adamant about something I'm unable to handle them. So..
Arnav: This is ur personal matter. U need not give me an explanation about it.
He walks towards the lower berth in order to make coffee for himself.
Asiya(thinks): He also seems quite short-tempered. But.. may b his behaviour is like that for me. Atleast he behaves lovingly & respectfully with his wife. My husband doesnt even do that.
She walks towards the lavatory leaving behind Arnav who is lost deep in thoughts.
________________________________________________________________
**Later that night..**
Khushi wakes up in the middle of the night to drink water when she finds Arnav missing from his berth.
Khushi(shocked): Hey Devi Maiyya! Wer did Arnavji go at this hour?
She calls him only to find his phone lying on his berth.
Khushi(thinks): Lemme wait for some time. If Arnavji does not come back in 10 minutes.. then I'll go & wake up babuji.
Luckily for her Arnav enters the compartment within 7-8 minutes.
He's quite surprised to find Khushi awake.
Arnav: U're..
Khushi(interrupts): Sshhh!
Arnav(whispers): Y r u awake? Did ur leg muscle get cramped again?
Khushi: No,I woke up to drink water. Y r u awake at this hour?
Arnav: Nothing. I just.. went to the washroom.
Khushi doesnt tell him that she'd been awake for more than 10 minutes.
Arnav: Go to sleep. Goodnight!
Khushi:U also go to sleep. I hope u've set the alarm?
Arnav nods.
Khushi: Okay.
She pretends to go to sleep while secretly observing him thru half open eyes.
Khushi(thinks): Arnavji is looking disturbed. May b thats y he's unable to sleep.
She peers down to find Asiya & her kids sleeping soundly.
Khushi(thinks): Asiyaji and kids r asleep. By now most of the passengers would either b getting ready to sleep or they'd be asleep. I can speak to Arnavji now. And I must speak to him or else he'll keep thinking about it & he wont get any sleep..
She calls him as softly as possible but he does not respond.
So she makes a ball of her dupatta & throws it at Arnav's berth,aiming at his chest.
Arnav: what the..!?
Khushi flashes light from her mobile on his face.
Arnav squints his eyes & covers her face with his hand.
Khushi(thinks): By now he must've understood that I want to speak to him. Still,lemme send 1 message.
Before she could type a message Arnav throws back the dupatta which hits Khushi's face.
Khushi(hisses): Hey Devi Maiyya!
Arnav immediately gets down from his berth & is about to climb onto khushi's when she stops him.
Khushi(whispers): Wait right there. I'm cumin.
After climbing down,she holds his hand & drags him towards the lavatory.
Arnav: Khushi?
Khushi(whispers): Ssshhh! Come quietly with me..
Once they're outside the coach,she stops short of the lavatory,near the door.
Khushi: Now tell me,what is the problem?
Arnav(frowns): What problem?
Khushi: The one which is not allowing u to sleep. I've been observing u since this afternoon. U seemed aloof & lost. Niether did u hav coffee in the evening nor did u hav dinner properly. And to top it all,u didnt even try to take me to the lavatory under any pretext! I know something is bothering u. I want to know what it is?
Arnav(avoiding her gaze): Its nothing,Khushi. Its just that.. I'm tired.
Khushi: If u lie in front of me,u'll get caught for sure! I refuse to believe that u're tired despite sleeping in the afternoon! Dont make round-round jilebis by beating about the bush! Tell me the truth Arnavji,what is bothering u?
Arnav gives up & hugs her,crushing her to himself.
Khushi,who is taken aback by the sudden hug,responds nonetheless by wrapping her arms around him.
She gives him time to come out with the truth on his own.
Arnav: I'm.. scared,Khushi..
Khushi: About what?
Arnav: I wont b a good father to my kids. Niether will I b able to.. handle them nor will I b able to fulfill all the duties of a father.
Khushi(breaks the hug): Who told u all this?
Arnav: Nobody did. This is what I've felt. I.. wont b a good dad!
Khushi: R child hasnt even taken birth yet & u've decided from now itself that u wont b a good father!? How come? There must've been some incident or some other thing which prompted u to think that.. u wont b a good father to r kids. What happened?
Arnav cites the example of Asiya's husband.
Arnav: Wen she was talking about her husband I felt as if she was talking about me. I also get very angry. I keep yelling for every little thing. And I really lack patience! On top of that,I am able to devote less time to u so.. how will I b able to spend quality time with r kids? May b.. r kids will also hate me,they'll b scared of me. May b I will also b like her husband..
Khushi(interrupts): Nope! Dont even think like that! Asiyaji's husband is short tempered & so r u. And u both yell at others wen u're angry. Thats wer the similarity between him & u ends! That apart u're not like him at all! Coz u feel bad after yelling at me,every single time. U always apologize for ur misbehaviour,like u did in the taxi today! U take good care of me,u keep me happy & u understand me like nobody else does! U'll behave similarly with r kids! (cups his face) Dont worry,Arnavji! U're the best husband in the world! And I'm sure that u'll b the best father in the world as well!
Arnav(holds her hand): No Khushi. I.. may b the best husband in the world for u wont b the best father in the world for r kids...
Khushi: And y not?
Arnav: Coz.. u're older,an adult! Kids r so.. small & delicate. Wen I hold u tightly u get bruised. so think, if I ever hold r kids like that or ,like u say,if I ever pounce on them,what'll happen to them? I dont want my kids to get hurt bcoz of me.
Khushi: But y will u do that? Which father hurts his kids knowingly?
Arnav: I dont hurt u knowingly either. It just.. happens when I'm angry. So.. what if it happens with the kids as well?
Khushi: Nothing of that sort wll happen! Dont b scared! Its upto a person to change his behaviour. I'm sure,by the time r child is born,u'll learn how to keep ur anger in check. And if not,then u'll learn after r baby is born.
Arnav: How?
Khushi(forces him to look at her): Look at me..
When Arnav looks at her with doubt-filled eyes,Khushi gently cups his face.
Khushi: Wen u'll see the baby for the first time,u'll automatically experience all the feelings related to fatherhood. Nobody knows the art & skill of being a parent from the time he/she is born,Arnavji. Everyone learns it gradually. Similarly,u'll also gradually learn how to curb ur anger! And wen u'll see the small,lovely baby,u urself will feel like doing all that it would take to keep him/her happy! If that requires u to b patient,u'll learn how to b patient. If it requires u to stop saying What the..!? u'll do that as well! U'll do everything that's possible to keep him happy! Like u're doing it for me right now!
She kisses his forehead.
Arnav: R u.. sure? I mean.. I'm totally inexperienced wen it comes to babies.
Khushi: Yes of course I'm sure! Now tell me,how many wives did u hav before me?
Arnav looks at her as though she'd suddenly grown horns.
Arnav: What kinda question is this?
Khushi: Tell me naa.. Did u hav a wife before u got married to me?
Arnav: Of course not,Khushi!
Khushi: So u never had an experience with a wife yet u went ahead & got married to me! So wen u can stay happily with ur wife,without having any prior experience,y wont u b happy with ur kids?Think about it..
Arnav: Point!
Khushi: I hope ur shaatir dimaag has not dozed off?
Arnav frowns.
Khushi: Since u're sayin all this.. thats y I thought...
Arnav: Khushi,this is not funny,okay? I'm damn worried!
Khushi: U need not b worried at all! Thats what I've been saying all this while!
Arnav: Okay,lets take this ur way. I'll get the feelings once the baby is born..
Khushi: hmm..
Arnav: But.. how will I handle the kid? I mean.. the infant. I've never held a small baby in my arms. And I dont know any of the other things. In fact,wen Aakash was small,I started holding him in my arms wen he was around 2-3 years old. So,u know what I mean? How will I handle a small baby
Khushi: U'll learn how to handle a baby as time passes! I'm the only child of my amma,babuji. Jiji is older to me & buaji is childless. Most of my cousins were older to me. Hence,for a long time even I didnt know how to handle small children.
Arnav(inquisitive): how did u learn? Did u take some tips from a book?

Khushi: No! I learnt by looking at others! Whenever any of r neighbours had a baby,me & my friends would go to thier house. First we would just look at the baby. Then we'd play with him/her. Then we'd take turns in holding the baby. I was very scared wen I had lifted a 2 month old baby for the first time. But both my amma & the baby's amma were next to me. Both of them were confident that I would b able to hold the baby. And to tell u the truth,I really wanted to hold him! Thats y I tried. And it felt so good! Then gradually I learnt the other things like how to change nappies..
Arnav makes a face.
Khushi(smiles): How to feed a baby,how to help it burp.
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: Ya! There's a technique to make a baby burp. I didnt know about it earlier. But eventually I learnt everything!
Arnav: And I think u've learnt it really well. Both the kids got very attached to u in a small amount of time..
Khushi(smiles): U will also learn wen ur time comes. Okay?
Arnav: Okay..
Khushi: Now lets go inside. We need to get up at 4 am.
She turns to go when..
Arnav: Khushi..
Khushi(turns around): Now what?
Arnav: What if.. I'm.. unable to learn all this? I mean..what if I dont turn out to b a good dad?.. What'll u do?
Khushi(non chalantly): I'll leave u & get married to someone else!
Arnav(shocked): What?
Khushi: Just kidding! Come what may,I wont leave u! okay? Now come inside..
She drags him inside the coach.
________________________________________________________________
** Later that night,1:00 am**
Arnav wakes up with a start.
Arnav: Khushi!
He looks at her berth to find her sleeping.
Arnav(realizes): It was a nightmare!(sighs audibly) I'm so relieved!
Feeling thirsty,he gets down from his berth and starts looking for the bottle of water on the table between the lower berths.
Arnav(thinks aloud): What the..!? We has Khushi kept the water bottle?
Khushi opens her eyes upon hearing her name from his mouth.
Khushi(whispers): Arnavji,what happened? U didnt go to sleep till now?
Arnav: No I.. got up to drink water. Where's the bottle?
Khushi: Its with me. 1 minute..
She hands him the bottle.
Arnav gulps down the water in one go.
Khushi(hand on his shoulder): Is everything.. okay?
Arnav: Ya,everything's fine.
Khushi: Did u.. really sleep or.. u're just saying that to convince me?
Arnav: I did sleep,Khushi.Dont think too much! I'm fine. Go to sleep. There's hardly any time left for sleeping.
Khushi: will u come here for a minute?..
Arnav(confused): Wer?
Khushi: On my berth. I feel like.. (lies) my left shoulder muscle is.. getting cramped.
Arnav: I'll rub it from here itself.
Khushi: No,no! That wont do. Come up & rub it nicely.
Arnav: Wer's the spray?
Khushi: Its in my bag. U come up first..
Once Arnav comes to her berth,Khushi tells him the truth.
Arnav: Wer's it paining?
Khushi: Nower! I said that in order to bring u over here. Tell me Arnavji,what is bothering u now?
Arnav opens his mouth to say something wen..
Khushi(interrupts): Dont lie this time. Swear on me & tell the truth!
Arnav(sighs): Okay,fine. I had a.. nightmare. I saw u & Asiya sitting together in a train. Her kids wer with her & r kids wer with u.
Khushi(smiles): R kids!? How wer they? I mean.. did they hav ur features or mine?
Arnav: Khushi I didnt imagine wid such vivid details. All I saw was that she was complaining about her husband &.. u were complaining about me..
*nightmare*
Asiya: Their abbu doesnt hav even a small amount of patience!
Khushi: Arnavji doesnt even know the meaning of the word patience! Come to think of it,he knows nothing at all! Niether is he able to handle the kids,nor is he able to feed them. And nor is he able to tell them imaginative stories. He cant do anything properly. But yes,he knows 1 thing very well!
Asiya: What?
Khushi: Romancing his wife! He is an expert at that! He's a father of two kids yet whenever he gets a chance he pounces on me,like a monkey pounces on a branch laden with fruits? Similarly he pounces on me!
Asiya laughs.
Khushi: Apart from romance he knows his office work. Thats it! That apart my lard governer is useless!
Asiya: Their abbu is exactly like him!
Khushi: I keep praying to Devi Maiyya to grant me & my kids permanent relief from Arnavji! He will never let go of me on his own. I wish I could get rid of him & instead get a life partner who would be the world's best father for my kids! (with a dreamy look) I'm on the lookout for that kinda person..
Suddenly a man comes there from nowhere.
Man: I'm the person u were looking for. I will b the world's best dad for ur children!
Khushi(elated): Really?!
Man: Of course! U can test me if u want..
Khushi(blushes): Y not? Come with me..
Arnav: Khushi,wait!
Khushi: Come on kids! Lets go to ur new daddy..
The kids hold her hands & the three of them follow that man out of the coach.
Arnav: Khushi wait! Plz dont go! Khushi..
*end of nightmare*
Khushi(slams her forehead): Hey Devi Maiyya! Do u think I'm a small kid? That someone will lure me with a toffee & I'll walk away with him,without thinking about anything else? U're too much Arnavji! U urself hav nightmares of these kinds & then u call my dreams wierd!
She holds his hand.
Khushi: Ur nightmare will never turn into reality! Even if Salmanji himself comes & asks for my hand,I will deny him!
Arnav(shocked): Really?
Khushi: Yes,really! Now come here..
Arnav: Wer?
Khushi: Usually I lie down with my head on ur chest but tonight u lie down with ur head on my chest.
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: Now,whats the need to say what the..!? in this? If I can sleep like that,y cant u? Come here..
Khushi turns to her right & Arnav reluctantly lies down beside her,turning to his left.
Even more reluctantly he places his head on her bosom.
Khushi(ruffles his hair): Be at ease. I'm fine so dont worry about me!
She pulls him closer.
Khushi: Wen I sleep with my head on ur chest I get peace of mind. So tonight u'll b able to sleep peacefully.
She threads her fingers thru his dishevelled hair.
Khushi: Close ur eyes. Forget about everything else! Just try to sleep.
Arnav does what he's told.
Very soon he falls into blissful slumber while Khushi stays awake,worrying about him.
