Khushi was twist and turning in the bed, not feeling comfortable. She had been doing it for the last 15 minutes. Finally opening her eyes, she found herself alone in the bed. She looked around to find the room empty. This hasn't happened for a long time. Khushi would wake up early most of the time finding herself in Arnav's arms even if they slept in 2 corners of the bed. And Arnav wouldn't wake up until he gets his 'good morning kiss'. What happened today?
Khushi: Arnavji?
She heard the some sound in the washroom. As he came out, khushi smiled making him give a small smile. She went giving him a hug and kissing his cheeks.
Khushi: why didn't you wake me up?
Arnav: Didn't want to disturb.
He said looking not looking at her.
Khushi frowned: are you alright Arnavji?
Arnav uhh' yes.
Khushi: are you sure? You look.. you look lost
Arnav: no I'm fine. We should get going. Our flight is 5 hours later.
Khushi: aren't we leaving on thrusday?
Arnav: No. we have to leave today. there's something important came up.
Khushi nodded and Arnav went out leaving a confused khushi. he wasn't behaving normally. Something was bothering him.
OOo
They didn't talk much in the plane either. Arnav was busy looking at his files. Whenever Khushi asked questions, he gave a 'yes or no' answer, not bothering to have any additional conversation. He was really focused on his work and khushi was getting all bored. She was done watching all the movies and went through the megazines.
Khushi: Arnavji?
He didn't respond.
Khushi: Arnavji!
he slightly shook him getting his attention.
Arnav: what?
Khushi: I'm really bored. Do your work when we reach home.
Arnav: no not now khushi. I'm doing something really important. Why don't you watch some Salman-khan movie?
With that he got back to his work making khushi pout and sigh.
Ooo
Anjali came forward to give them a tight hug as they reached home.
Anjali: chhote! Khushiji! You're back!
Khushi: Namaste Anjali ji! Namaste naniji.
Payal came forward to hug khushi.
Akash: how're you bhai?
Arnav: I'm fine Akash. All good in AR?
Akash: yes bhai.
Arnav: good. Akash, I need to talk to you. Will you please come to the study room?
Akash: sure bhai.
Anjali: this is not done chhote! You just got back. Sit with us.
Arnav: not now di, please.
Anjali pouted. The two brothers excused themselves making khushi wonder what's wrong. "He's been doing it since morning. I need to talk to him.", khushi thought.
Nani: so khushi bitiya, how did you enjoy your honeymoon?
Anjali: areh nani! Don't make her blush so much!
Khushi just smiled. All she was thinking is Arnav.
After having a long chat with the family members, she finally went to her room wanting to talk to Arnav. but as she entered the room, she found him already in the bed, asleep. Khushi looked at him frowning. She had gone to bed without her? "what wrong with him? He has never gone to bed without me. what happened today? is he'. Is he upset with me? did I do something I shouldn't have done? No khushi! you must be overthinking. Why would he not talk to you. He's just tired and went to sleep. But he has NEVER done it. And he knows I can't sleep without him. Is he actually-? No no! c'mmon khushi! you think too much. Just sleep."
She brushed it off and decided to talk to him tomorrow morning about whatever that's bothering him. She put her head on his chest and her arms around his waist.
Khushi: I hope you're not upset with me arnavji.
Kissing his forhead she closed her eyes.
Ooo
As khushi woke up in the morning, she again found her bed empty. Thinking Arnav in the washroom, she started tidying the bed. But there wasn't any sound coming out of it. She went to the washroom door and knocked. She found it unclocked.
Khushi went downstairs and saw HP passing by.
Khushi: Hari prakash ji, have you seen Arnav?
HP: no khushi bhabi.
Khushi went to the dining table to find Anjali and nani chatting.
Khushi: Anjali ji, have you seen arnavji?
Anjali: Chhote? He's out of the country. He left already.
Khushi: WHATTT?
Khushi almost screamed making Anjali confused.
Anjali: what happened khushiji?
Khushi: Arnavji is out of the country?
Anjali: yah. Wait, he didn't tell you?
Khushi was too shocked to say anything. What was he doing? First of all, he hasn't talked to her for the entire day yesterday, he seemed all lost, went to sleep without ME which he has never done for months and now he's out of he country without my knowledge? What is he upto? And why didn't he tell me about it yesterday?
Anjali: Khushiji? Didn't chhote talk to you about it?
Khushi: oh uhh yes. he did. I forgot actually.
Anjali smiled and khushi went to her room.
Khushi: I'm sure Arnavji is angry with me. or he would never do such things. He has told di that he's going out, why not me then? I must have done something wrong that has hurt Arnavji. Or he's not like this at all. But have I done? Khushi ! think think"
And she gasped.
"SHRUTI!"
"hey devi maiya! Shruti !!"
She recalled how she had behaved with her, how rude she had been to her. well shruti deserved it 'khushi thought but did she cross her limits. Was she too hard on her?
She recalled how she had slapped her, not once, not twice but three time! How she had stomped on her fod and made her write the petition. That too infront of her friends.
" but it was tit for tat! She got what she deserved. How dare he touch MY arnavji?!"
She said getting all angry again but then softened thinking about Arnav,.
"But she was Arnavji's close friend. I should have kept that in mind! Hey devi maiya! He must be so hurt of what I did that night. How could you be like this khushi?! how did I not consider Arnavji's feelings. Of course he wouldn't do anything about it. But I should have been careful. And-. Wait! More than that, was he EMBARRASSED ? embarrassed of how I behaved? Embarrassed of what I did? How I talked to her? because amanji and her friends were there too?"
She felt terrible. Terrible because she had let him down. She had hurt him, hurt her Arnavji. And now she can't even TALK to him. Can't even apologize to him. Dammit! She wanted to cry!
How could she do it?!
"I'll never forgive shruti but I can't bear this side of Arnavji either. I'll apologize to him as soon as he comes back. I can't bear this!"
Ooo
She couldn't sleep that night. The thought of hurting Arnav was bothering her so much that had started cursing herself.
And the major reason was that her Arnavji wasn't beside her to take her in his arms while sleeping. How would she sleep without him?
Khushi: going to bed without me last night was better than not being here. At least i could hold him while sleeping. How can he be like this!? He knows very well I can't sleep without him.
She said with a very small voice.
SHe went to payal's room and knocked on the door.
Akash opened the door rubbing his eyes
Akash: khushi ji? You're here? At this time?
Khushi: wo actually' Where did Arnav go?
Akash: bhai? He's in London. He didn't tell you?
Khushi: No.. uhh' when is he coming back?
Akash: I don't know. He said it won't take long. May be 3-4 day?
Khushi gasped: 3-4 DAYS?! How am I going to-
She looked at Akash who gave her a questioning look.
Khushi: oh! 3 to 4 days. It's ok , it's ok! I can sleep without him! That's absolutely alright.
Akash shook his head smilingly knowing what khushi meant.
Akash: I'll ask payal to sleep with you, khushiji.
Khushi gave him a thankful smile as he woke payal up and asked her to sleep with her.
Payal: khushi! tu bhi na! abhi taak bachchi hai.
Khushi pouted and dragged her to her room thanking Akash.
The two sisters slept with khushi cuddling payal. She put her leg and one arm around her.
Payal: tell me one thing khushi. do you actually sleep like this with Arnavji too? Poor him! He can't even sleep due to your tykoendo pose..
Khushi: shut up jiji!
With that she closed her eyes. But it felt so different. She wasn't feeling the same way she used to feel before marriage. Not comfortable at all. She had got used to Arnav taking her in his arms while sleeping.
" and he hasn't even called yet. He must have reached. would he even talk to me on the phone?"
A small tear left her eye as she thought of all these. She would bear everything but when it comes to Arnav's numbness when he's HURT especially, she can't bear it.
Ooo
Khushi: Amanji?
Aman: yes khushi bhabi?
Khushi: I want a 18X24 photo by evening.
Khushi handed one of Arnav's head t toe photo to him.
Aman: eh?
Aman asked again looking confused.
Khushi: ohho Aman ji! Just do what I say.
Aman: oh you want it framed?
Khushi: JI NAHI! Just do as I said.
Aman: but why? You know, we have some beautiful frames in AR. You-
Khushi: no need for that. I need it while sleeping and if it's framed, I won't be able to-
She looked at Aman who had he mouth agaped.
Khushi: uhh.. just DO as I say Amanji! You question a lot. Now go.
Aman: okay.
He looked at the pic and then khushi he started blushing and smiling when khushi gave him a serious look. He stopped smiling instantly and left the room.
OoO
Khushi got the photo of Arnav and went to her room. She took out a body pillow from the closet and put it on arnav's side in bed. She put the giant photo of Arnav on the body-pillow and tied it with a rope on the top and bottom of it.
Khushi: khushi, you're AWESOME! Now I can sleep with my Arnavji!
She said holding her chin up.
She jumped on the bed holding her body-pillow and cuddling it. She put her leg and arm around the pillow. Although she wasn't feeling as much comfortable as she feels in his arms, it was definitely better than sleeping with payal.
Khushi whispered: I won't let you down Arnavji! I'll make everything right once you get back. Love you.
She left a kiss mark on Arnav's right cheek in the photo and closed her eyes.
