Jaldi aaiyye Arnavji! Thread Four - Page 22

can wait for any extent for your update😛

I would like to thank all the readers for reading/liking/commenting on this FF! Ur support & appreciation means a lot to me! Through the past year I've been telling the story as I'd visioned it,at my own pace & taking my own time. U,the readers,have been very patient & have tolerated the slow pace & the sub-tracks of the story even though u were/are very excited about the most important Paris track. I apologize for my misgivings & for testing ur patience through the past year. But believe me,all the tracks I've included till now were essential for the story's natural progression to the finale. I could'nt have omitted them. Similarly,the track that u'll see now,in the next couple of updates,is also a very important stepping stone for the Paris trip. I hope u'll like it.

As promised,here's a lonnnggg part to celebrate the first anniversary of this FF.
Part 68
The clay bells of the windchime jingled the moment Arnav opened the door of ArShi's bedroom.
Khushi(surprised): Yeh.. jaate samay toh yahaan nahi tha. Phir isse yahaan kisne lagaaya?
Arnav: Kal jab di ka phone aaya tha tab maine hi unse kaha tha isse yahaan lagaane k liye ,taaki jab tum andar aao toh iss room ko pataa chal jaaye ki..
Khushi(looks at him): Kya?
Arnav(smiles): The lady governess is back!
Khushi smiles & is about to hug him when..
HP(from behind both of them): Bhaiyya,saamaan.. rakh dein?..
Arnav turns around & glares at him.
Arnav: Pehle Khushi ko room k andar toh jaane do! (to Khushi) Come..
He holds her hand & takes her inside the room.
Khushi looks around with misty eyes.
Arnav: Ab jao. Aur di se keh dena ki hum breakfast k time par neeche aa jayenge.
HP: Ji bhaiyya.
Khushi: Hari Prakashji,naashte me kya banaa rahe hain aap?
HP: Naniji ne pooriyaan talne k liye kaha tha. Aur unhone yeh bhi kaha tha ki woh Mathura aaloo banaayengi.
Khushi(smiles): Theek hai.
**After HP leaves**
Arnav: Looks like nani wants to pamper u as well!
Khushi hugs him.
Arnav: Kaisa lag raha hai?
"Mehhh!" bleats Lakshmi from the door.
Arnav grinds his teeth & closes his eyes in despair.
Khushi(surprised smile): Areh Lakshmiji,aap itni subha-subha uth gayi?!
Arnav: Uth bhi gayi aur jaise hi iss room ka darwaaza khula hua dikha waise hi humein disturb karne aa bhi gayi!
Khushi(admonishes): aisa mat kahiye Arnavji!
She walks up to Lakshmi & kneels down beside her.
Khushi(cuddles her): Kaisi hain aap?
Lakshmi bleats loudly.
Khushi: Achchha?
Arnav: What achchhha? Tumhe samajh me aaya uss ne kya kaha?
Khushi(non-chalantly): Ha!
Arnav(rolls his eyes): Unbelievable!
Khushi(whispers): Ab aap jaiyye Lakshmiji. Aap toh dekh hi rahi hain naa? Arnavji ka gussa aasmaan chhoo raha hai! Isiliye abhi hum aapk saath achchhe se baatein nahi kar payenge. Kal jab woh office chale jaayenge naa, tab aap aa jaiyyega. Phir hum dono aaraam se baithkar TV dekhenge! Theek hai?
Lakshmi bleats again,this time fairly loudly.
She gets up after hugging Lakshmi.
Khushi: Ab aap dhyaan se naniji k kamre me chali jaiyye. (waves)Tata!
Arnav: Enough for now!
He goes & closes the door.
Khushi(shocked): Areh!? Aapne itni jaldi darwaza kyun band kar diya? Unhe seedhiyon tak toh pahuch jaane diya hota..
Arnav: Bachchhi nahi hai woh! Sara din yahaan se wahaan ghoomti rehti hai. Khud chali jaayegi. Tum uss ki baat chhodo aur mere sawaal ka jawaab do- (softens) Ghar waapis aakar kaisa lag raha hai?
Khushi: Aisa lag raha hai jaise.. hum saalon baad ghar laute hain!
She looks around.
Khushi: Sab kuch.. badlaa-badlaa sa lag raha hai..
Arnav(looks around): Nahi toh! Kuch bhi toh nahi badlaa hai! (with an arm around her)Come with me..
He opens her side of the cupboard & points inside.
Arnav: Tumhare kapde ab bhi iss cupboard me hain. Aur tumhare sandals bhi!
Khushi runs a hand through the various dresses & sarees hanging inside the cupboard.
Arnav: Idhar aao..
He takes her to the dressing table & points to the mirror.
Arnav: Tumhari bindiyaan abhi bhi iss mirror par chipki huyi hain.
Khushi touches her bindis & blushes.
Arnav then takes her towards the poolside French windows.
As soon as ArShi enter the poolside,they're greeted by a cool breeze.
Arnav(points to some pots): Woh dekho. Tumhare pudina,dhaniya,mirchi,neembu,curry patta aur Tulsi k plants yaheen par hain.
Khushi folds her hands in greeting to the Tulsi plant.
Khushi: Jai ho Tulsi Maiyya ki!
Arnav: Andar chalo..
Once they're inside the room,he points to the bed.
Arnav: Tumhara pillow abhi bhi yaheen hain.
Khushi sits on the bed & runs her hand over her pillow.
She frowns when her hand touches a cold object kept between the two pillows.
Khushi is more amazed than surprised when she takes it out.
Khushi: Humari ghadi?!
Arnav: Yup! Tumne Jammu k uss tea stall par mujhe di thi,yaad hai? Aur yeh kaha tha ki yeh Tumhari nishaani hai.
Khushi(smiles): Ji,yaad hai. Aap.. isse sirhaane rakhkar sote the?
Arnav nods.
Khushi: Aap wahaan kyun khade hain? Yahaan aakar humare paas baithiye naa..
Arnav sits next to her,holding her hand.
Arnav: Mujhe toh pataa hi nahi tha ki iss room ek alarm clock bhi hai! Jab main Jammu se waapis aaya tab mujhe uski tick tick sunaayi di!
Khushi takes out a small,antique alarm clock from under the matress on her side of the bed.
Khushi: Yeh phuphaji ki ghadi hai,jise hum.. doosri wali shaadi k baad yahaan laaye the.(looks fondly at it) Iss me unki yaadein aur aashirwaad hai.
Arnav: Okay..
Khushi: Waise,shaadi se yaad aaya. Aapko pataa hai Asiya ko kya lag raha tha?
Arnav: Kya?
Khushi(blushes): Unhe lagaa ki.. hum dono ki nayi-nayi shaadi hui hai!
Arnav(amused smile): Really?
Khushi: Ji! Aur.. jab humne unhe bataaya ki humari shaadi ko ek saal k oopar ho gaya hai toh unhe toh vishwaas hi nahi hua!
Arnav: Yeh toh achchhi baat hai! Its a compliment. Waise.. Sirf abhi kyun? Agar koi 5,6 saal baad bhi humein dekhega toh usse yeh hi lagegaa ki hum newly weds hain!
Khushi: Kyun nahi? Aap.. jis tarah se.. humse romance karte rehte hain.. woh dekhkar kisi ko bhi yeh hi lagega ki.. humari nayi-nayi shaadi hui hai.
Arnav: U mean to say ki.. mujhe itna romance nahi karna chahiye. Right?
Khushi: Humne aisa toh nahi kaha!
Arnav(inches his face closer to hers): So then u mean to say ki.. mujhe aise hi romance karte rehna chahiye?
Khushi(pushes him away): Humne waisa bhi nahi kahaa! Ab humein kuch bhi nahi kehna hai. Humein sirf sona hai!
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: Aur kya?! Saara din Chandi Chowk k bazaar me ghoomne k liye phoorti ki zaroorat padegi,jo achchha khaane se aur achchhe se sone se aayegi. Khana toh achchha milne hi wala hai. Usse pehle humein aaraam karne ki zaroorat hai. Hum kapde badalkar aate hain. Aap bhi kapde badal lijiye aur phir so jaiyye. Theek hai?
Arnav(sighs): Okay.

Khushi smiles as soon as she lies down on the bed,next to Arnav.
Arnav: Kya hua?
Khushi(contended smile): Apne ghar me,apne kamre me,apne bistar par sone ka alag hi mazaa hai!
Arnav(agrees): So toh hai!
Khushi: Sirf hum hi jaante hain ki humne pichhle kuch dinon me apne ghar ko,gharwaalon ko,aur khaas kar iss kamre ko kitna miss kiya hai! Bade se bade hotel ka aalishaan se aalishaan kamraa.. iss kamre k muqaable kuch bhi nahi hai! (sighs) Parso raat ko humein phir se ghar se baahar jaana padega. Aur woh bhi 10 se 15 dinon k liye..
Arnav: So what? 10-15 din baad hum waapis toh yaheen aane wale hain naa? (with an arm around her)Aur phir hum yaheen rahenge,next holiday tak!
Khushi: Aur woh kahaan hoga?
Arnav: Gulmarg me..
Khushi smiles.
Arnav(teases): Ya.. ho sakta hai.. London me?
Khushi(looks at him): London me.. kyun?
Arnav: U never know! Ho sakta hai kisi aur deal k liye mujhe wahaan jana pade..
Khushi catches his lie.
Khushi(smacks his shoulder): Jaiyye,jaiyye! Jhooth-mooth k bahaane se London ka naam lekar humein sataaiyye mat!
She rests her head on his chest & wraps an arm around his waist.
Arnav: Okay,fine. Ab main kabhi bhi tumhe London k naam se nahi sataaunga! (kisses the top of her head) Bas?
Khushi looks at his face & gives a mischievious smile.
Khushi(kisses the side of his neck): Train.
Arnav cocks an eyebrow & smirks.
Arnav: Maine toh Hindi wala bas kaha tha,matlab enough.
Khushi pushes herself up with the help of her elbow so as to be at the same eye level as Arnav.
Khushi: Ha.. par.. humne toh Angrezi wala train kaha na?
Arnav: Ha,toh?
Khushi(annoyed): Baniye mat!
Arnav: Tum bhi mat bano! Yeh game khelkar baat ko kyun ghumana chahti ho? Frankly aur directly bataao..(cups her cheek)mujhse kya chahti ho tum?
Khushi(kisses his cheek): Kuch nahi!
Arnav(pulls her closer): Really?
Khushi(arm around his neck): Ha!
Arnav: In that case,main..
Khushi(imitates him): Ssshhh! (pecks his lips)Bahut bolte hain aap!
"Yeah,right!" says Arnav before he claims her lips.
When they break apart for air,Arnav runs his thumb over Khushi's lips.
Khushi closes her eyes & sighs.
Arnav: Iss kiss me mazaa aaya! Hai naa?
Khushi gives a small nod as she shifts & lies down on her back.
Arnav kisses her beetroot cheeks one after the other.
Khushi: 1.. baat kahein?
Arnav: Sure!
Khushi: Aapne toh humein bataaya hi nahi..
Arnav(frowns): Kya?
Khushi: Yeh hi ki aapko ghar waapis aakar kaisa lag raha hai?
Arnav: Mujhe apni wapisi se zyaada tumhari waapisi ki khushi hai! (kisses her red nose) I'm so glad u're back!
Khushi: Hum bhi utne hi khush hain jitne ki aap hain!
Arnav smiles & kisses her chin.
Khushi: Pataa hai? Uss din jab hum bus me Katra k liye ravaana huye aur aap.. neeche khade humein dekh rahe the,humari toh haalat kharaab ho gayi thi! Man kar raha tha ki daudkar aapk paas aa jaayein! (sighs) Jis pal aap humari nazron se ojhal huye naa..
Arnav(interrupts): Ojhal.. matlab?
Khushi: Ojhal matlab gaayab. Hum toh uss pal se hi aapko miss kar rahe the! Yeh toh bahut achchha hua ki aap 5 din baad Katra aa gaye. Agar nahi aaye hote toh na jaane humara kya haal hota?
Arnav: Aur tum mujhe waapis bhejna chahti thi!
Khushi: Nahi chahte the! Lekin.. apne jhoot ko bachaane k liye humne aapse waapis jaane k liye kaha.. Sorry!
Arnav(pecks her lips): That's okay!
Khushi: aap kabse humein miss kar rahe the?
Arnav: Main bhi uss hi moment se tumhe miss kar raha tha! In fact,main ajeeb tarah se react bhi kar raha tha! Jammu airport par ek lady ne apne husband ko "suniye" kehkar bulaaya toh mujhe lagaa ki.. unhone mujhe bulaaya! It was so embarassing!
Khushi: Aisa hi kuch humare saath bhi hua tha jab.. hum airport k baahar se aapko jaate huye dekh rahe the..
Arnav understands that she was talking about the time when he'd left her outside the airport before he was kidnapped.
Khushi: Aap toh chale gaye lekin phir kisi ne unke bete Arnav ko aawaaz di. Humein lagaa jaise.. woh aap ki baat kar rahe ho.. Jaise aap,phir se, humare liye baahar aaye ho. 1 pal k liye hum khush ho gaye! Par.. jab pataa chalaa ki woh apne bete ko bulaa rahe the,hum.. bataa nai sakte hain ki hum kitne dukhi the!
Arnav: I can understand ki tumhe uss time par kaisa feel hua hoga..
Arnav rests his head on her bosom & wraps one arm around her waist.
Arnav: Jab tum Katra me thi tab main,waise toh,ek hi raat k liye yahaan akele soya tha aur 1 se 1 1/2 din tak tumhare bina yahaan raha tha lekin.. I had a hard time.
Khushi(wrapping arms around him): Jaante hain..
Arnav: Main tumhe bahut zyaada miss kar raha tha! I cant imagine ki tumne woh saare din akele kaise nikaale honge jab main kidnapped tha? Aur tum 40 dinon k liye akeli kaise rahi,mere bina.. (looks at her)I'm sorry,Khushi! Tumse alag hone k baad maine realize kiya ki.. uss waqt.. tumhe kaisa lagaa hoga. I'm very,very sorry! Maine tab tumhe ridicule kiya,tumhare dar ka mazaak udaya, tumhe over- dramatic kaha lekin.. tumhari feelings ko samajh nahi paaya main..
Khushi(kisses the top of his head): Koi baat nahi! Aapko ab iss baat ka ehsaas ho gaya humare liye yeh hi bahut hai! Chaliye,ab in saari baaton k baare me mat sochiye. Kuch der aaraam kar lijiye. Kal raat ko theek se soye bhi toh nahi hain aap.
Arnav: Main.. aise hi letoon toh..
Khushi(interrupts): Humne kab manaa kiya? (smiles) Aise hi lete rahiye. Humein achchha lagtaa hai! Jab hum aapk seene par sar rakhkar sote hain toh humein suqoon milta hai. Lekin kal raat jab aap humare seene par sar rakhkar soye toh humein aur zyaada suqoon mila aur bahut khushi bhi hui, yeh sochkar ki humne kuch toh aisa kiya jisse ki aapko suqoon mila!
Arnav: Aisa mat bolo,Khushi!
He lifts his head to look at her.
Arnav: Tumhe dekhte hi mujhe suqoon mil jaata hai! Seriously! I cant tell u ki jab main office se dead tired hokar ghar aata hoon aur tumhara smiling face dekhta hoon toh mujhe kitna zyaada achchhha lagtaa hai! I feel so relaxed & happy!
Khushi: Uss me kaunsi badi baat hai?
Arnav(cups her cheek): Tum apneaap ko underestimate kyun kar rahi ho?
Khushi: Aisi baat nahi hai,Arnavji. Par.. kayeen baar humein aisaa lagtaa hai ki.. hum bahut saari cheezein nahi kar paatein hain,woh jo baaki ki patniyaan bahut achchhe se kar leti hain. Ab dekhiye naa,aaj gaadi me ghar aate samay humne ek pati-patni k jode ko dekha jo saath me jogging kar rahe the. Ab.. hum agar chaahe toh bhi aapke saath jogging karne nahi jaa paayenge. Aur gaye aur pair me baitaa chadh gaya toh aapko humein uthaakar ghar aana padega. Uss chakkar me aapki dugni kasrat ho jayegi!
She continued without letting Arnav speak.
Khushi: Kabhi-kabhi humein aisaa lagtaa hai ki.. humari jagah agar koi samajhdar,zyaada padhi-likhi,naye khayaalaaton waali,model type ki ladki se aapki shaadi huyi hoti toh.. shaayad aap zyaada sukhi hote! Humare muqaable woh.. aapko zyaada sukh de paati.. Aapko behtar tareeke se samajh pati..
Arnav: That's rubbish Khushi! First f all,tumhare jaisi ladki toh.. shaayad hi koi hogi! And secondly,mujhe tumse achchchhi wife nahi mil sakti thi! Kabhi bhi nahi!
Khushi: Aap yeh sab humara dil rakhne k liye keh rahe hain naa?
Arnav: Of course not! Just bcoz main,tumhari tarah,yeh nahi kehta hoon ki main kitna fortunate hoon ki mujhe tumhare jaisi wife mili hain,it doesnt mean ki main aisa nahi samajhta hoon! (cups her face)U're my priceless,most precious deal,Khushi! I'll exchange u for nothing!
Khushi: Tab bhi nahi agar aapko.. koi bahut hi achchhhi,sarvagun sampanna,hoor-pari jaisi ladki mil jaaye?
Arnav(rolls his eyes): Mujhe kisi hoor ya pari ya.. whoever ki zaroorat nahi hai,Khushi! Mujhe tumhari zaroorat hai! And besides,tum mere liye hoor,pari,a.. apsara, etc.,etc. all rolled into one ho!
Khushi smiles upon hearing that.
Arnav: Main pehle bhi keh chuka hoon ki I love u the way u r & for who u r! And I'm being perfectly honest. Main tumhara dil rakhne k liye kabhi tumhari jhooti tareef nahi karunga. Dobara kabhi aisa mat sochna ki tum mere liye perfect nahi ho ya.. anything of that sort,okay?
Khushi: Okay!
Arnav: Ab so jaao.
Arnav gets up and shifts next to Khushi.
Khushi: Aap wahaan kyun chale gaye?
Arnav: Abhi hum pehle ki tarah sote hain. Aaj tumhe peace of mind ki zaroorat hai. Chalo,aa jaao idhar..
Khushi rests her head on his chest & sighs.
Arnav(pats her head): Now go to sleep, (kisses the top of her head) Crazy woman!
________________________________________________________________

**At the dining table,9:00 a.m.**
When Arnav informs the Raizadas' about his plan to take Khushi to Chandni Chowk that day,nani,mami & Anjali discourage him.
Nani: Aaj rehne dijiye,Chhotey. Paris se aane k baad bitiya ko huaan lekar jaiyyega.
Anjali: Nani sahi keh rahi hain. 2-3 dinon se baarish nahi hui hai isiliye garmi bahut badh gayi hai. Aur baahar dhoop bhi bahut tez hogi.
Arnav: So what,di? Hum toh car me jayenge..
Anjali: Ha,par bazaar me toh aap dono ko chalna padega naa Chhotey?
Nani: Ha! Aap abhi-abhi Kashmir se aaye hain. Huaan toh bahut thand hogi naa?
Khushi: Ha naniji,thand toh kaafi thi wahaan.
Nani: Aur hiyaan aakar agar aap dhoop aur garmi ma bazaar chale jayenge tau thandi-garmi k kaaran aap dunno ki tabiyat kharaab hui jayegi.
Mami: Phir Paris k bye bye aur bukhaar k hello hi kahe ki padi!
Khushi(agrees): Baat toh sahi hai,Arnavji. Jaane se pehle tabiyat kharaab ho gayi toh lene k dene pad jayenge!
Arnav(with a sad face): I guess.. humein plan cancel karna chahiye.
Mami: Correct!
Arnav(to Khushi): Sorry!
Khushi: Aap sorry mat kahiye. Aur niraash bhi mat hoiyye. Paris se aane k baad k pehla Itvaar ko aap humein Chandni Chowk le jaiyyega.
Arnav(smiles): Deal!
Khushi smiles back at him.
Arnav(thinks): Khushi ko Chandni Chowk nahi le jaa paya toh kya hua? Uss k liye dinner toh definitely banaaunga main!
Nani: Anjali bitiya,ab aap ee dunno ko surprise k baare maa bhi bataa dijiye!
Arnav(frowns): What surprise?
Anjali(excited): Aaj raat ko humlogon ne aap dono k liye ek chhota sa jashn rakha hai,jisme hum aapko 1 bahut hi badhiya sa surprise denewale hain!
Arnav(shocked): Kyun?
Anjali: Aapki shaadi ki saalgiraah par toh aap yahaan aa nahi paaye. Aur uss k baad humein aapki saalgiraah manaane ka mauka nahi mil paaya. Isiliye humne socha ki hum aaj yeh jashn rakh dete hain!
Arnav: Par di,party toh Paris se aane k baad bhi ho sakti hai naa?
Anjali: Ha Chhotey par tab NKbhai aur Lavanyaji yahaan nahi honge. Humne socha ki inn dono k yahaan rehte huye hi yeh jashn ho jaay toh behtar hoga!
Arnav doesnt say anything.
NK: Nannav aur Khushi bhabhi k waapis aane k baad bhi hum yaheen honge,di!
Anjali(surprised): Kya?
NK: Yup! Humlogon ne apnaa stay extend karne ka decision liya hai.
Anjali(happy): Areh waah!
Lavanya: Di,actually mom ki best friend ki daughter ki wedding 5th July ko, Agra me hai. Mom chahti hain ki main uss ki wedding aur pre-wedding ceremonies ko attend karoon. Aur phir NK ki mom ne suggest kiya ki hum weddding ki saari shopping Delhi se karein. So isiliye humne 20th July tak jaana postpone kar diya.
Mami: Areh ee tau bahutai baais (wise) decisan (decision) hai,Lavanya! Hum saaping(shoping) maa tumhri helap karibe!
Khushi(smiles): Hum bhi!
Lavanya: Thanks masiji! Thanks Chamkeeli! Tumhari help ki mujhe bahut zaroorat padegi!
Khushi: Chinta mat kariye,Lavanyaji! Paris se aate hi,turant hum aapki shaadi ki khareedaari aur taiyyariyon me lag jayenge! Waise,shaadi ki taareekh kab ki hai?
Lavanya: 8th of October.
Khushi: Phir toh bahut samay hai aapk paas..
Lavanya: Ya,but sara time hum yahaan nahi honge naa..
Khushi(agrees): Woh toh hai..
Anjali: Toh,NKbhai aap bhi Agra jayenge?
NK: Of course di! Mujhe wahaan jaakar Raj mahal dekhna hai!
Anjali: Taj mahal NKbhai!
NK(holds his ear): Sorry! Woh hi,Taj mahal!
Anjali: Theek hai. (looking at Arnav)Toh.. aaj ka jashan hum.. aaj hi rakhein ya aaplogon k Paris se aane k baad?
Arnav(seriously): Ab aapne sab ko bula hi liya hai toh aaj hi rakh dijiye..
Anjali: Jashn me sirf gharwaale hi honge,aur koi nahi. Toh,tum chaaho toh,hum isse..
Arnav(interrupts): Its okay,di. Aapne sab taiyyariyaan kar li hongi so.. let it be.
Arnav gets up & excuses himself.
Nani: Kaa baat rahi Chhotey?
Arnav: Kuch nahi,nani.
Anjali: Chhotey,naashta toh kar lo..!
Arnav: Bhookh nahi hai,di..!
Anjali: Areh! Inhe achaanak se kya ho gaya? (to Khushi) Raat k liye.. Chhotey ne.. kuch plans banaaye the kya?
Khushi: a.. (lowers her gaze)ha di.. woh.. a.. kuch soch rahe the.. humare liye..
She gets up.
Nani: Ab aap kahaan jaaye rahi hain,bitiya?
Khushi: Hum.. abhi aaye.
She goes into the kitchen.
Nani(wonders aloud): Ab inhe kaa hui gawaa?
Anjali: Hum dekhte hain,nani.
Anjali follows her into the kitchen.
________________________________________________________________

Anjali is surprised to see Khushi taking out refined flour from the cupboard.
Anjali: Khushiji,aap jalebiyaan banaa rahi hain kya?
Khushi: Nahi di. Woh.. hum.. pastaa in white sauce banaane ki soch rahe the..
She proceeds to take out the packet of pasta from the cupboard.
Anjali(smiles): Areh waah! Achchha hai. Chhotey khush ho jayenge!
Khushi nods.
Anjali: Hum kuch madad kar dein aapki?
Khushi: Nahi di. Aap nashta kar lijiye. Hum kar lenge. (to HP) Hari Prakashji,bread hai naa ghar me?
HP: Ha hai,bhabhiji.
Khushi: Aap bread nikaalkar rakhiye aur humare liye thode se lasan chheel dijiye.
HP: Ji.
Anjali: Toh pasta k saath-saath garlic bread bhi ban rahi hai,hmm?
Khushi nods.
Anjali(pats her cheek): Humein poora yaqeen hai ki yeh sab khaakar Chhotey ka mood theek ho jayega!
Khushi: Ummeed toh humein bhi yeh hi hai..
Anjali: Aap banaiyye,hum jab tak nani se baat kar k aate hain.
Khushi: Ji..
_____________________________________________________________

Upon entering the bedroom,Khushi is shocked to see Arnav wearing his waistcoat.
Khushi: Aap office jaa rahe hain?
Arnav(fastening the buttons): Ha. Kal off le lunga..
Khushi(with a straight face): Jaisa aapko theek lage..
Arnav sits on the recliner & proceeds to wear his shoes & socks.
Khushi: Jaane se pehle naashta toh karte jaaiyye..
Arnav: Mujhe bhookh nahi hai. Tum kha lena.
Khushi: Aap k liye humne isse banaaya hai. Aap hi nahi khaayenge toh hum kaise kha sakte hain?
Arnav(looks up): Tumne banaaya hai?
Khushi nods.
Arnav: Kya?
Khushi(uncovers the serving bowl): Pasta in white sauce aur(uncovers the dish) garlic bread..
A smile appears on Arnav's lips.
Khushi: Ghar me yeh hi wali bread thi toh.. humne iss hi se banaa diya..
Khushi takes a spoonful of pasta & approaches him.
Khushi: Agar ab bhi aapko nashta nahi karna hai toh mat kijiye! Par kamaskam isse chakhkar toh bataiyye ki yeh kaisa banaa hai?
Arnav has tears in his eyes after tasting it.
Khushi(concerned): Kya hua? Teekha zyaada ho gaya kya?
Arnav shakes his head while wiping the tears with the back of his hand.
Khushi: Toh phir.. aapki aankhon me aansu kyun aa gaye?
Arnav: Aaj.. bahut dinon k baad.. tumhare haath ka khana khaaya isiliye.. I'm just.. a bit.. overwhelmed..
Khushi: Hey Devi Maiyya!
She sits on his lap & throws her arms around him.
Khushi: Kabhi-kabhi humein aisa lagta hai ki aap toh humein poora pehchaante hain lekin.. hum,ab tak,aapko theek se samajh nahi paaye hain! Humein pataa hi nahi tha ki.. inn chhoti-chhoti cheezon ki.. aapki nazar me itni ehmiyat hai!
Arnav(wrapping his arms around her waist): Tumhe kaise pataa chaltaa,Khushi? Maine kabhi tumhe bataaya hi nahi ki tum kitna achchhha khana banaati ho! Aur jab tum ghar pe nahi hoti ho toh main.. tumhare haath k khaane ko utna hi miss kartaa hoon jitna ki tumhe miss kartaa hoon!
Khushi(breaks the hug): Aap toh bina bataayein humare man ki baat samajh lete hain. Na jaane hum kyun nahi samajh paate hain aap k man ki baat? (hits his chest) Aur aap kuch kehte bhi toh nahi hain naa!
She smacks his chest again.
Khushi: Bataa nahi sakte the kya ki aap humare haath k khaane ko miss kar rahe hain? Agar bataa dete toh hum waheen kuch banaa dete naa aap k liye..
Arnav: Bataa deta toh tum hotel me mere liye khana banaa deti kya?
Khushi: Hotel me naa sahi par houseboat me toh hum banaa hi sakte the. Khaamakhaa humne Saaqibji se khana banvaaya!
Arnav(holds her hand): Agar tum houseboat me khana banaane baith jaati toh hum woh kab karte jo humne houseboat me kiya?
Khushi(frees herself): Rehne dijiye. Kamaskam nashta toh banaa hi sakte the hum..(slaps her forehead) Hum bhi moorakh hain! Aapne toh bataaya hi nahi,humein khud ko bhi nahi soojhi ki aap k liye kuch banaa dein! Aur kuch naa sahi toh coffee hi bana dete aap k liye. Magar wahaan Saaqibji ne coffee banaayi aur hotel me aap khud k liye coffee banaate the. Hum bhi naa!
Arnav: Its okay,Khushi! Jo ho gaya so ho gaya! Just forget about it! Right now,pasta thandaa ho jaaye uss se pehle breakfast kar lein?
Khushi(getting up from his lap): Aap kar lijiye. Hum aapko paros dete hain.
Arnav: Tum nahi khaaogi?
Khushi: Hum baad me poori aaloo kha lenge. Yeh toh humne khaas aap k liye hi banaaya hai.
Arnav: No problem! Saath me tum bhi kha lo. Poori aaloo tum lunch me kha lena.
Khushi(turns to him): Aap.. dopeher ka khana ghar par nahi khaayenge?
Arnav: Nahi. Main Mohan ko bhej dunga,tum usse tiffin de dena.
Khushi nods & proceeds to serve him.
Arnav: Office me bahut kaam hoga toh..
His voice trails off.
Khushi(hides her disappointment): Koi baat nahi! Raat ka khana toh sab saath me hi karenge! Aur..
She is interrupted by a knock on the door.
Khushi(hands him the plate): Aap khana shuru kijiye hum aate hain..
She finds Anjali outside the door.
Khushi: Aaiyye naa di..
Anjali: Nahi,nahi Khushiji. Hum baad me aapse milne aayenge. Filhaal toh hum aapko ek khabar dene aaye the..
Khushi: Phir bhi,andar toh aaiyye..
Anjali reluctantly enters the room.
Arnav: Kaisi khabar,di?
Anjali: Humne aur nani ne abhi-abhi buaji aur ammaji se baat ki. (lies) Humein lagaa ki.. woh dono kaafi thake huye the toh.. Isiliye humne jashn ko postpone karne ka decision liya hai.
Arnav's eyes light up after hearing that.
Khushi: Achchha?
Anjali: Ha! Aaj wohlog bhi aaraam kar lenge aur.. aap dono bhi aaraam kar lena.
Khushi smiles.
Anjali: Hum bas yeh hi bataane aaye the. Aaplog naashta kar lijiye. Hum chalte hain..
Khushi: Ji.
Anjali turns to go when..
Arnav: Thanks di!
Anjali turns to him to find an all knowing smile on his face.
Anjali(smiles): U're welcome!___________________________________________________________________

**After Anjali leaves**
Khushi turns to Arnav after closing the door.
Khushi: Toh kya aap.. ab bhi office jaayenge?
Arnav: a.. lets c..
Khushi: Lets c ka kya matlab? Ya toh ha kahiye ya phir naa!
Arnav(smirks): Naa!
Khushi beams delightedly.
Arnav: Aaj waheen khade rehne ka iraada hai kya? Come here!
Khushi joins him at the recliner & sits on his lap.
Arnav: Aaj phir se hum dono ek hi plate se khaayenge,jaise humne uss din paratha khaya tha jis din tum nikli thi?
Khushi: Hum nikle the ya.. hum dono nikle the?
Arnav: Whatever!
He feeds her some pasta.
Khushi(feeding him): HPji bataa rahe the ki jis din aap Jammu se waapis aaye the uss din aapne dopeher k khaane me sirf mathri khaayi thi..
Arnav(nods): Main uss din se hi tumhare haath ka khana miss kar raha tha..
Khushi: Toh aapne humse yeh baat kahi kyun nahi?(feeds him) Aap bhi naa Arnavji! Sochte bahut kuch hain lekin kehte sab kuch nahi hain! Jab aap humse yeh keh sakte hain ki aap humari choodiyon ki khanak ko miss kar rahe the toh aap humse yeh bhi keh hi sakte hain naa ki aap humare haath ki rasoi miss kar rahe hain?
Arnav: Ha.. (feeds her) Keh sakta tha. Lekin maine nahi kaha...
Khushi(with food in her mouth): Oon? (kyun?)
Arnav: Kyunki maine socha ki.. tumhe tumhara holiday poori tarah se enjoy karne dena chahiye!
He pauses when Khushi feeds him.
Arnav(after a few moments): Ghar pe toh tum sabk liye khana banaati hi ho. Aur phir next month ,jab tum dabba business dobara start karogi tab, toh tumhe bahut sara khana banaana padega. (feeds her)Toh.. atleast jab tum holiday par ho, tab toh tumhare haathon ko rest milna hi chahiye! Bas, yeh hi sochkar maine tumse kuch nahi kaha.
Khushi wipes her mouth with the back of her left hand before kissing his cheek.
Khushi: Asiyaji sahi keh rahi thi,hum bahut bhaagyashaali hain jo humein aap k jaise pati miley hain!(gets up from his lap) Hum bahut khaa chuke. Ab aap khaiyye. Hum jab tak aap k liye coffee banaakar laate hain.
Arnav(pulls her into his lap): Baitho naa..! Tumne toh kuch khaya hi nahi.
He takes a morsel of food & is about to feed her when Khushi holds his hand & directs it towards his mouth.
Khushi: Bas! Hum iss se zyaada nahi kha sakte hain. Aapko pataa toh hai,humein yeh pasta-wasta achchha nahi lagta hai! Aap kha lijiye aur humari chinta mat kijiye! (feeds him) Hum baad me,pet bhar k aaloo puri kha lenge! Theek hai?
Arnav nods.
Khushi is about to open the door when..
Arnav: Suno..
Khushi: Ji,boliye?
Arnav: Kitchen me stuck mat ho jaana. Jaise hi coffee ban jaaye waise hi oopar aa jana,okay?
Khushi: Ji huzoor! Jab tak coffee ublegi tab tak hum jilebiyaan banaane ki saamagrih(ingredients) taiyyar kar denge. Aur phir jaise hi coffee ban jayegi waise hi yahaan aa jayenge.
Arnav(frowns): Jalebiyaan kyun banaani hain?
Khushi: Gareeb bachchhon me daan karne k liye. Kal jab aap ticket ki baat karne gaye the naa tab humne Devi Maiyya se kaha tha ki agar woh aapko ticket dila deti hain toh hum unk mandir me 101 rs chadhaayenge aur gareeb bachchhon ko jilebiyaan khilaayenge.
Arnav: What the..!? Khushi,tumne promise kiya tha ki tum mujhse bina poochhe koi pratigya nahi logi. Phir tumne kaise..
Khushi(interrupts): ha,toh yeh pratigya thode hi na hai! Yeh toh mannat hai!
Arnav: Whatever! Ab main off le raha hoon toh tum mandir jaane ki baat kar rahi ho. That's not fair!
Khushi: Hum abhi thode hi naa jayenge! Hum toh shaam ko jaayenge,aarti k samay. Jab aap humare liye khana banaa rahe honge naa,tab hum jaldi se mandir hokar aa jayenge!
Arnav(cools down): Okay..
Khushi: Filhaal hum coffee banaane jaayein?
Arnav: Ha,jao na! Maine kahaan manaa kiya hai?
Khushi: Lard governer!
She shakes her head & leaves for the kitchen.
___________________________________________________________

Once lunch is over,ArShi retire to their bedroom.
Arnav scoops Khushi in his arms after closing & bolting the door.
He gently lays her on the right side of the bed.
Khushi notices tears in his eyes.
Khushi(cups his face): Kya hua Arnavji?
Arnav(smiles): Kuch nahi!
He gently kisses her forehead.
Khushi(wiping his tears): Aap.. theek toh hai na?
Arnav: Ha,main bilkul theek hoon!
Khushi: Pakka?
Arnav(smiles): Pakka!
He lowers his head & pecks her lips.
Khushi's heartbeats escalate as Arnav removes her clothes,followed by his own.
Then he lies down on his back & turns towards Khushi.
Khushi,who's slightly surprised,doesnt say anything when Arnav props himself on an elbow.
Running his knuckles over her flushed right cheek,Arnav whispers huskily.
Arnav: Khushi?
Khushi(closing her eyes): Hmm?
Arnav: Uss din.. Taj me.. maine tumhe touch kiya tha naa.. wahaan?
Khushi nods while preparing herself to be touched intimately by him.
Arnav: Aaj main chahta hoon ki.. tum mujhe touch karo.. (stresses)wahaan..
Khushi eyes flew open & her mouth formed a perfect O.
Arnav: Kya hua?
Khushi: H.. hum.. k.. kaise?
Arnav: Main tumhe bataaunga. Tum bas mujhe itna bataao ki tum ready ho ya nahi?
Khushi hugs him with such force that his body is pushed back into the mattress.
Arnav: What the f..!
Khushi(hiding her face in his chest): Hum.. se.. yeh nahi hoga,Arnavji!
Arnav(arm around her back): Relax Khushi! Kyun nahi hoga? Zaroor hoga! Tum.. try to karo! Uss din bhi tumne yeh hi kaha tha but.. finally tum maan gayi aur.. tumhe achchha lagaa tha naa?
Khushi: Ha.. par.. tab.. toh aapne.. kiya tha. Hum.. kaise?
Arnav: Agar main tumhe touch kar sakta hoon toh tum kyun nahi kar sakti ho?
Khushi: Nahi,nahi! Hum nahi kar paayenge! Humse.. yeh sab karne k liye mat kahiye! Humse nahi hoga!
Arnav(sighs): Fine. Chalo,jaise pehle leti thi,waise hi let jaao.
Khushi(lifts her head to look at him): aap.. naraaz hain humse?
Arnav: Nahi Khushi! I respect ur decision. Ha,agar tumne try kiya hota toh.. mujhe achchha lagtaa! But.. tumne bina try kiye hi.. manaa kar diya.. Nevertheless! (cups her cheek) Main naraaz nahi hoon,okay?
Khushi nods.
Arnav: Chalo,let jao.
Once she lies down on her back,Arnav parts her legs.
Before he could proceed..
Khushi: 1 minute Arnavji!
Arnav(concerned): Kya hua?
Khushi sits up with his support.
Arnav: Baitaa toh nahi chadhaa naa?
Khushi shakes her head.
Arnav: Toh?
Khushi: Woh.. hum aapse kuch poochhna chahte hain..
Arnav: Kya?
Khushi: Woh.. aap.. a.. Humara matlab hai.. Aapne kaha ki.. agar humne.. koshish ki hoti toh.. aapko achchha lagta.
Arnav nods.
Khushi(cups his cheek): Ab aap humein bataiyye ki.. agar hum.. aapko.. (lowers her gaze) wa.. wahaan.. chhooyenge toh.. (looks him in the eye) kya aapko.. uss se khushi milegi?
Arnav thought for a moment before replying.
Arnav: Ha,milegi!
Khushi: Toh.. hum.. taiyyar hai.
Arnav: Nahi Khushi,tum taiyyar nahi ho!
Khushi: Ji?
Arnav(nods): Tum abhi bhi hesitate kar rahi ho. Honestly,main nahi chahta hoon ki tum mujhe touch karo just bcoz it would me happy..
Khushi: Aisi baat nahi hai! Humein bas yeh hi lagaa ki.. aap humein khush rakhne k liye kitna kuch karte hain! Toh.. humein aapki khushi k liye.. itna toh.. karnaa hi chahiye.
Arnav: Nahi Khushi. Tumhe obliged hokar yeh karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Unless & until tum khud se karnaa chaho,aur comfortable feel karo iss k baare me,tumhe nahi karna chahiye. Coz its not just about pleasuring me! Jab maine tumhe touch kiya tha toh.. I was enjoying it myself! Aur.. mujhe nahi lagtaa hai ki agar aaj main tumhe sab kuch bataa bhi doon aur tum.. kuch karo tab bhi tum enjoy kar paaogi coz u're not comfortable with this idea. So, I suggest,tum aaj rehne do. Hmm?
Khushi(crestfallen face): Ji..
He kisses her parting.
Arnav holds her shoulders & helps her lie down.
Then he covers them with the blanket & lies down beside her.
Khushi places her head on his chest as soon as he lies down.
Arnav(runs a hand thru her hair): Zyaada socho mat,Khushi. Aur dont feel guilty. Tumne manaa kar k koi crime commit nahi kiya hai!
Khushi(arm around his neck): Jaante hain..
Arnav(kisses the top of her head): Just try to sleep. Hum.. raat ko..
Khushi(interrupts): Ha,hum samajh gaye.(kisses his chest)Aap bhi so jaiyye.
Arnav: Ya.
_________________________________________________________________

Arnav eventually falls asleep while Khushi stays awake,lost in her thoughts.
Khushi(thinks): Itna mushqil kyun hai.. humare liye.. yeh sab? Shaadi k 1 saal baad bhi hum.. shaadishuda zindagi k.. iss pehlu(aspect) ko.. sweekaar kyun nahi kar paa rahe hain? Hum kyun itna.. hichkichaa rahe hain? Kya.. woh.. unk shareer ka ek hissa nahi hai?
She looks at her hand,which was still wrapped around Arnav's neck.
Khushi(thinks): Jab hum.. unke chehre ko chhoo sakte hain,unki gardan ko chhoo sakte hain toh.. hum.. usse kyun nahi chhoo sakte? Jab.. uss ki baat aati hai toh.. hum itne ghabraa kyun jaate hain?
She lifts her head slightly to look at Arnav's face.
Khushi(thinks): Bichaare Arnavji! Pehle hi kitna intezaar kiya hai unhone humare liye.. Kya unse.. iss cheez k liye aur intezaar karvaana theek hai,Khushi? Kya unk liye tu itna bhi nahi kar sakti hai?
She recalled his words from that afternoon.
"Tumhe obliged hokar yeh karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Unless & until tum khud se karnaa chaho aur comfortable feel karo iss k baare me,tumhe nahi karna chahiye."
Khushi(thinks): Baat toh unki sahi hai. Par.. hum comfortable toh tab mehsoos karenge naa jab humara yeh dar aur.. yeh hichkichaahat kam hogi? Isse kaise kam karein?
She thinks for a while & reaches a conclusion.
Khushi(pats his shoulder): Arnavji..! Arnavji uthiye naa..!
Arnav groans in his sleep.
Khushi(pats his cheek): Arnavji uthiye naa...! Jaldi uthiye!Plz...
A half asleep Arnav opens his eyes to find Khushi staring him in the face.
Arnav(startled): Kya hua Khushi?
Khushi: woh.. (gulps) Humein seekhna hai..
Arnav(frowns): Kya seekhna hai?
Khushi: woh.. usse.. usse.. a.. (lowers her gaze) Humein.. seekhna hai ki.. usse kaise.. chhoote hain..
Arnav(confused): Usse? Kisey?
Khushi: Areh! Samajhiye naa aap! (stresses) usse..
Arnav(irritated): Kya usse Khushi? Clearly bataao..
Khushi: Lagtaa hai aap abhi bhi neend me hain. Jaaiyye,pehle moonh dhokar aaiyye phir hum aap ko bataayenge.
Arnav reluctantly gets up & rubs his eyes.
Khushi: Suniye..
Arnav: hm?
Khushi: Bathroom me so mat jaiyyega!
Arnav glares at her before going to the bathroom.
____________________________________________________________________
**5 minutes later**
Arnav(coming out the bathroom): Ab bataao,kyun jagaaya mujhe?
Khushi: Pehle aap yahaan toh aaiyye.
Arnav comes & sits next to her.
Arnav: Hmm. Bolo..
Khushi: Woh.. hum.. see..(gulps) seekhna chahte hain ki.. aa.. aapko.. kaise.. chh.. chhooyein.. (lowers her gaze) wahaan?
Arnav: What?
Khushi nods.
Arnav: Par Khushi,tum abhi..
Khushi(interrupts): Hum jaante hain ki hum.. taiyyar nahi hain iss k liye. Par ab hum taiyyar hona chahte hain!
Arnav: Okay.. but achaanak se kya ho gaya? I mean..
Khushi(interrupts): Humein yaad hai. Bachpan me jab humne badiwali cycle khareedi thi toh humein usse bhi dar lagtaa tha. Humein hamesha lagtaa tha ki hum gir jaayenge. Lekin.. hum cycle par chadhe aur humne chalaana seekha uss k baad hi humara dar nikal gaya. Yeh.. bhi bilkul uss hi tarah hai!
Arnav(amused smile): Cycle ki tarah?! (tilts his head) Really?
Khushi(hits his chest): Hasiye mat! Humara matlab tha ki.. jab tak.. hum aapko.. (lowers her gaze) chhooyenge nahi tab tak.. humare man se yeh dar aur hichkichaahat nahi jaayenge. Toh.. isiliye.. hum chahte hain ki.. aap humein sikhaayein. (looks at him) Aap sikhaayenge naa?
Arnav: Pehle tum mujhe yeh bataao ki tum itni.. zyaada eager kyun ho yeh seekhne k liye? Aur woh bhi abhi k abhi!
Khushi: Kyunki.. hum.. ab.. aage badhna chahte hain. Matlab.. hum.. kuch aisa karna chahte hain jisse.. humari shaadishuda zindagi me.. aur zyaada khushiyaan aayein! Aisa kuch.. jisse hum aapk aur qareeb aa paayein. Aapko aur zyaada khush rakh paayein. Aur humein yeh ehsaas hua hai ki.. humein aapko behtar tareeke se samajhne ki zaroorat toh hai hi,saath hi saath humein.. aapko.. puri tarah se sweekaar karne ki bhi zaroorat hai.
She looks at him with guilty eyes.
Khushi: Humne.. hamesha.. uss k saath.. aisa vyavahaar kiya hai jaise ki.. woh achhoot(untouchable) ho! Jab ki woh bhi aapk shareer ka ek hissa hai jaise ki.. (cups his cheek) aap k gaal hain.. (places her hands on his shoulders) Aapk kandhe hain.. (touches his chest) aapka seena hai. Jab hum inn sab ko chhoo sakte hain toh.. usse kyun nahi? Aur bas.. isiliye humne tay kiya hai ki.. aaj se hum.. uss se.. nazrein nahi churaayenge. Uss se bhi.. waise hi aur utna hi pyaar karenge jitna ki hum.. (cups his cheek) aapk shareer k baaki k hisson k saath karte hain!
Arnav smiles.
Khushi: Aur phir.. aap hi ne uss raat humse yeh kaha tha naa? ki..
*Flashback*
Arnav: Humara bond,humara rishta alag hai. Sabse alag! Aur iss rishte me hum 3 tarah se bandhe huye hain- mentally,emotionally aur.. physically. Yeh bahut hi important hai ki.. inn bandhanon me koi barrier na ho!
*Flashback ends*
Khushi: Aaj jab aapne humse yeh kaha ki agar humne koshish ki hoti toh aapko khushi hoti,humein aisa lagaa jaise.. humari yeh hichkichaahat hum dono k beechhh barrier ban gayi hai. Hum iss barrier ko hum dono k beechhh kaise bane rehne dete? Jis raat aap Kashmir aaye the,humne aapse waada jo kiya tha ki..
*Flashback*
Arnav: Tum mujhse promise karo,Khushi-aaj k baad tum hum dono k beechh koi bhi barrier nahi rakhogi! Aisa kuch nahi karogi jis ki wajah se hum dono me distance create ho jaay..
Khushi: Hum aisa kabhi nahi karenge!
Arnav: Aise nahi! Say that u promise me! Chalo,promise karo!
Khushi: I promise! Bas?
*Flashback ends*
Khushi: Hum uss waade ko nahi todna chahte hain! Uss k liye agar.. humein apni.. sharm aur.. hichkichaahat ko bhulaakar.. yeh sab karna pade,toh hum yeh karne k liye raazi hain! Hum dil se keh rahe hain,Arnavji..
Arnav is touched by her honest reply.
When Khushi looks into Arnav's eyes,she finds them misty.
Khushi(shocked): Kya hua aapko?
Arnav shakes his head & pulls her into his arms.
Khushi(placing her hand on his nape): Aaj aap reh-rehkar bhaavuk(emotional) kyun ho jaa rahe hain?
Arnav: Bas.. aise hi!
He kisses the top of her head before breaking the hug.
Arnav: Tum fresh ho jao.(gets up from the bed) Tab tak main change kar leta hoon. (slides open the cupboard)Phir chay-coffee peene k liye neeche chalte hain.
A shocked Khushi gets up from the bed.
Khushi: Toh aap humein nahi sikhaayenge?
Arnav(turns to face her): Sikhaaunga Khushi! Lekin abhi nahi,raat ko.
Khushi: Humein abhi seekhna hai!
Arnav(with a look disbelief): Khushi? Aaj tum shy bride se Desparate Singh Raizada kaise ban gayi?
Khushi blushes & hugs him.
Khushi: Humein chhediye mat! Abhi sikhaiyye naa.. plz..
Arnav: Mandir nahi jana hai?
Khushi: Baad me chale jaayenge. Pehle aap sikhaiyye..
Arnav: Fine. Come..
He scoops her in his arms & takes her to the bed.
_________________________________________________________________

Warning: The rest of the update is mature in content. Therefore reader's discretion is advised.
Arnav: Before I start, There r some warnings for u.
Khushi(scared): Ch.. chetaav..ni?
Arnav: Relax Khushi! Ghabraanewali koi baat nahi hai. Bas kuch baaton ka tumhe dhyaan rakhna hoga.
Khushi: Jaise?
Arnav: Jaise.. a.. ho saktaa hai ki.. jab tum usse touch kar rahi ho toh.. woh.. a.. uss me kuch changes honge..
Khushi(confused): Changes?
Arnav: Woh tumhe pataa chal jayega. But,the point is ki tum ghabraana mat. Aur plz.. chillaana mat,Khushi! Apneaap par control rakhna..
Khushi(makes a face): Aap keh toh aise rahe hain jaise hum galaa phaadh k chillaate ho!
Arnav(smirks): Uss din.. Taj me toh tum kuch waise hi chilla rahi thi!
Khushi(embarassed): Hum.. kya kartein? Aap harkatein hi aisi kar rahe the ki.. humara khud par qaaboo nahi raha.
Arnav: I see..
Khushi: Aaj humari nahi,aap apni chinta kijiye! Kyunki aaj harkatein hum karenge aur sehna aapko padega! Kahin yeh na ho ki aaj aap chillaane lag jaayein!
Arnav(cocks his eyebrows): U really think that u can make me scream!?
Khushi(non-chalantly): Haa.. bilkul! Dekh lena aap,cheekh-cheekh k saans phool jayegi aapki!
Suddenly Arnav's expression changes.
Arnav: I meant scream in pleasure, okay? Not in pain!
Khushi: Pataa hai!
Arnav: Khushi,dhyaan rakhna.. Its a very sensitive part of my body.
Khushi: Humein yeh bhi pataa hai! (teases)Aap dar kyun rahe hain?
Arnav: Dar nahi raha hoon,main bataa raha hoon tumhe.
Khushi(cups his cheek): Chinta mat kariye! Hum dhyaan rakhenge ki aapko koi chot na pahuche!
Arnav kisses her cheek.
Khushi: Ab hum shuru karein?
Arnav: Of course!
Arnav lies down & parts his legs.
He feels awkward. Being on the other side of the coin for the first time makes him slightly uncomfortable but he does not show it.
Khushi: Aap theek hain?
Arnav nods.
Khushi: Comfortable hain?
Arnav(smiles): Ha Khushi.
Khushi: Agar hum kuch bhi.. galat karein ya.. aapko zara sa bhi dard ho toh humein bataiyyega..
Arnav: Okay.
Khushi takes a deep breath while Arnav prepares himself for being manhandled.
______________________________________________________________

The fact that Khushi was a fast learner & a very capable student was known to Arnav.
He'd seen it for himself when Khushi had "soothed" him in the chopper while they were on their way back from Vaishnodevi.
He'd never underestimated her power to excite him,whether knowingly or innocently.
But what he did not know was that she could excite him to the extent that he'd completely loose control.

The fact that Arnav was affected by her physical proximity was known to Khushi.
She'd seen (and felt) him getting excited countless times in the past year.
So she felt that she was prepared for the job at hand,knowing very well how a certain part of his anatomy would react.
But what happened when she actually got to the task,left her totally shocked & thoroughly embarassed.

Khushi,strictly following Arnav's instructions,started with slow & gentle strokes.
Her hands trembled as she caressed & rubbed.
She squeezed her eyes shut when she pinched his assets for the first time.

Arnav let out a throaty groan when he felt his wife's nimble fingers on his erection.
Had Khushi not been as focused as she was,she would noticed the tears in his eyes for sure.
He had craved for her to touch him intimately since the first time they'd made love.
But he'd denied himself the pleasure,knowing fully well that Khushi was not prepared for that level of intimacy.
Today,when she finally fulfilled his wish,that too,on her own,he felt choked.
He was drowning in a sea of pleasure,happiness and elation.
His deprived body longed for more & more & more..

Khushi,encouraged by the grunts & moans of her husband,never realized when she upped the pace.
Her touch turned faster & more arousing with each passing second.
Her attention kept shifting from Arnav's closed eyes,to his parted lips. From his enlarged Adam's apple to his pounding heartbeats. From his raspy, uneven breathing to his tightly balled fists.
And finally on his member ,which stood tall & proud,even when her hands roamed all around his package.
She felt dazed,desired,satisfied & happy all at the same time.
Not for a second did she feel bashful until.. that happened.

So what exactly had happened?

Khushi had brought Arnav to his release with her hands.
Arnav was so lost in the sensations generated by Khushi's hands that his brain had stopped functioning.
Khushi was so lost in relishing the reactions of her husband that her eyes never noticed when his member threw up.
Her hands immediately covered her perfect ,O-shaped mouth,even as her eyes threatened to pop out of her sockets.
She gulped several times before getting up from the bed & running to the bathroom,almost bumping to its door.
Arnav himself was shocked but not as much as his personal brand of Cyanide,who bolted even before he could even manage to utter unbelievable.
He slowly got up & went towards the bathroom.
To his dismay,the door was closed & locked from inside.
Arnav(knocks): Khushi..
No response.
Arnav: Khushi,plz darwaza kholo..
Still no response.
Arnav(concerned,thinks): Kahin yeh behosh toh nahi ho gayi?
Arnav: Khushi,tum theek ho? Plz answer me..
Khushi(very softly): Hmm.
Arnav(relieved sigh): Okay. Tum darwaza kholo plz.. I cant talk to the door!
Khushi: nn.. nahi.
Arnav: What the..!?(rotates the door knob)Khushi,u want me to barge inside?
Khushi does not respond.
Arnav(thinks): Yeh aise nahi maanegi!
He knocks again,louder this time.
Arnav: Khushi,I need to wash myself. Plz open the door..
Khushi: Hh.. haa toh.. aap.. pool ka iss.. temaal kar.. riye naa!
Arnav(shocked): What?! Khushi,r u..?
He lets out a load,frustrated sigh when Khushi does not respond.
Arnav(losing it): I'm asking u for the final time,Khushi. Kya tum darwaza khol rahi ho or should I break the door & barge in?
A scared Khushi gently unlatched the door after taking a few steps away from it.
As expected,the door flung open & in stormed Arnav,visibly angry.
Khushi moved a few more steps away from him when she saw anger & frustration in his countenance.
Arnav closed his eyes & took a deep breath.
He didnt want to scare Khushi or make her any more uncomfortable than she already was.
He mentally kicked himself for letting his hormones & anger out of hand.
When he opened his eyes,Khushi saw that the rage in them had vanished.
Before she knew it,he covered the distance between them by taking two,long steps.
Khushi gasped & lowered her gaze.
When her gaze landed on his erection,she closed her eyes,not knowing where to look.
Arnav grabbed the opportunity with both hands,literally & otherwise.
He picked up the hand faucet with one hand while he pulled her flush against himself with the other.
Then he sprayed their bodies with the water,which felt colder than usual.
Khushi shivered slightly as the cold water trickled down her body & reached her warm core.
Arnav threw the hand faucet away when he felt the goosebumps on her skin.
He yanked off her towel from the towel hanger & wrapped it securely around her body.
Then he moved aside to wrap his towel around his waist.
Khushi,being no less an opportunist,was about to exit from the door when her husband's voice forced her to stop.
Arnav: Wait!
Her breath hitched as she waited for him to continue,without turning to look at him.
Arnav extended an arm around her to latch the door.
Arnav: I havent finished yet,Khushi. Tum baahar tab hi jaogi jab meri baat puri ho jayegi.(hand on her shoulder) Idhar dekho..
Khushi turned around gingerly,having not the slightest idea of what was to follow.
________________________________________________________________

Precap:
Khushi: Hum kal aapse keh rahe the naa,ki humein kuch badlaa-badlaa sa lag raha hai?
Arnav: Hmm..
Khushi: Aaj humein pataa chal gaya ki kal humein aisaa kyun lag raha tha!
Arnav: Kyun lag raha tha?
Khushi: Kyunki kal,matlab parso,humare waapis aane se pehle, kamre ko Hari Prakashji ne taiyyaar rakha tha.
Arnav(frowns): Ha,toh?
Khushi: Toh uss me aapki jhalak nahi nazar aa rahi thi isiliye humein ajeeb lag raha tha! Ab dekhiye naa,aaj aayine(mirror) k saamne wale table par aapka hairgel rakha hua hai,iss coffee table par aapki file rakhi hui hai,aapki almaarih ka darwaza khula hua hai,bathroom me aapk kapde latak rahe hain,bistar k saath wale table par aapk phone ka charger rakha hua hai,poolside ki khidki khuli huyi hai aur poolside wale table par paudho ko kaatnewali badi kainchi rakhi hui hai! Jahaan nazar daudaayein wahaan aapk iss kamre me hone k saboot phaile huye hain!
She cups his cheek before continuing.
Khushi: Jab aap office gaye huye the aur humari nazar inn sab hi cheezon par padi toh aisaa lagaa jaise.. aap humare paas naa hote huye bhi humare paas hain! Isiliye aaj hum chain se reh paayein!
Arnav(kisses her hand): Meri presence itni zyaadi matter karti hai tumhare liye?
Khushi: Isse kayeen zyaada! Hum aapko bataa nahi sakte hain ki.. aapki maujoodgi(presence) k ehsaas se hi humein kitna suqoon milta hai!
