Part 18
Dressed in dark blue saree his wife was preparing roti cautiously. He could view the almost bare back and couldn't resist his feelings. He tiptoed into the kitchen not wishing to let her know about his arrival. Khushi was preparing roti but her thoughts were wavering with all those questions in her mind. He slowly started to untie dori which she didn't even realize. He started placing butterfly kisses all over her shoulder and by wrapping her waist from behind he lifted her from the ground making her gasp in horror. She could feel his lips all over her face and neck playing with her senses. She tried to struggle from his grip but he tightened it more making her irritated. He leaned on to her ears nibbling it hard and whispered. " I missed you so much Wifey"
Khushi was shocked to hear his voice. She tried to make him leave her but he didnt .. Infact he started nuzzling his nose at the crook of her neck inhaling her scent as if tonight he didnt wish to leave her untouched even for one second.
Arnav (Breathing hard): Bali.. I have decided this is the best location for our second honeymoon..
Khushi couldnt believe he was so much prepared for this trip.. She tried speaking but he put her down and then in one go made her turn to face him.. His hands still feeling every inch of her waistline while his lips eager to taste her skin.. She looked aside when she found him leaning over her lips.. She didnt wish for this session here and the reason was simple. She wasnt in a mood after knowing what made him marry her.. not that she was angry on him but what she didnt like was that he hide this fact all these months.. She had so many questions unanswered which he could only provide answers. Seeing her looking aside, he pulled her chin with his fingers and made her look in his eyes..
Arnav: All this wont be tolerated there ..!! Afterall we have a mission to fulfil.. But before that let me know what I have to prepare myself for..? Baby girl or boy? Hinting at what he is interested at he made sure she shouldn't divert from their plan. His lopsided smile surely made her blush but she was still not in THAT mood..
He kissed her nose and then replied back on his own not giving her any chance to speak..
Arnav: I want a girl.. Just like my Khushi.. Beautiful like her mother.. He pinched her waist while she just arched back in almost pleasure..But yeah, she should have brains like her father..!! He stated with proud making her frown a little but least she realised that his husky voice was only creating some ripples in her stomach..
Before he could raise her saree a bit above, she moved his hands off her and clearly noded a No..
Khushi: I dont think we can have time for Bali.. Di and the baby needs me..!! She implied the need for her presence at home and she is not in a mood to fulfill his desires as of now.
Arnav frowned at her unexpected reply
Arnav : Why? And what about me and My Baby..!! We want you too Khushi.. And that too full time.. He placed some more kisses on her neck and she was surely getting some goosebumps on her cold skin..
Khushi: Arnav please.. Behave!! She tried to push him from her but he wasn't in a mood to surrender.
Arnav: Khushi.. ! Its been long..!! He pleaded with a pout making her go weak with his eyes piercing her with his gaze.
He was about to untie her next and the last dori when suddenly they heard some footsteps towards the Kitchen.. Khushi pushed him hard behind and then composed herself .. Garima entered inside and could see Arnav's unkempt hair and Khushi's blushing face.. She could realize what might have happened here.. After all this couple were meeting after a long time.. She just gave them a smile and came inside..
Garima: Arnav.. NK was calling you upstairs.. He had already rushed to see the baby.. Garima stated plainly to make them comfortable as her intrusion had spoiled their private moment unintentionally.
Arnav: Ohh Yes.. I was just leaving.. Infact me and Khushi were just talking about baby only .. Hai naa Khushi?? He blurted out earning a deathly glare from her for making her embarass more infront of her mamiji.
Khushi dint want to be a part of his teasing anymore. It was not easy for her to give up everything in one go without getting a proper reply which she was expecting. Not with her own imaginations going weird about the fact why her sister was made a bait for his brother's marriage life. She needed only answers from him.. She wasn't able to concentrate on anything after her little talks with Anjali today. The Secrets which was concealed from everyone the secrets which had her life was entirely involved.
************
NK was holding the baby girl in his arms while Lavanya was admiring him sitting next to Anjali on the bed..
NK: She is shoo shweet.. Her eyes are just like you Bhabhi.!! He admired the cute angel with so much excitement that he forgot to realize that he was with Lavanya.
Anjali smiled and replied back..
Anjali: A girl always gets her mother's eyes.. Thats what I believe.. If you and Lavanya have a girl then even she will have beautiful expressive eyes just like my La..She stressed on the only hope to get them back on track in their marriage life. Though she wasn't aware of the clear reason for their awkwardness. She surely noticed their facial expressions after her dialog,
Lavanya smiled and looked down feeling shy while NK felt numb inside.. His wife and he could never get this day possible anytime soon.. After all their fights were so much worset to the extent of leaving apart ignoring each other. Arnav and Khushi entered the room together.. Anjali's smile vanished which Khushi noticed instantly.. She didnt like her sister behaving different with Arnav.. But she couldn't help it either.. Arnav walked inside smiling at Anjali first.
Arnav: How's your health Di?? I hope you are taking good care of yourself..!! Khushi told me you deny taking some medicines at times.. Thats unfair..!! You have a baby and you should be strong to keep the baby healthy..!! He spoke casually with the concern which he rarely express before anyone. The stay at his house had made him develop a sister feeling for Anjali especially after known being the fact that Shyam had deceived her many times.
Anjali didnt even respond properly to his concern and advise.. She just faked a smile which clearly showed to him that she wasnt interested in talking all this.. He sighed at the thought that she might be tired to talk much. Probably after delivery a woman still undergoes some mood swings a worry enveloped over his head thinking about how he is gonna handle Khushi on this matter. .. He diverted his attention towards the little baby who was playing in NK's arms and rushed to take her..
Arnav: (Taking the baby carefully in his arms): Enough of seeing NK chachu Pari.. Now its time to see your Arnav chachu too..
Khushi was seeing a different Arnav today. She never knew he was so good with kids.. She walked to him and sat beside him touching the baby's cheeks.. This couple were so much lost in playing with the baby that none of the others wished to disturb them.. For a moment Khushi gave in her unnecessary confusions and gelled with the baby and Arnav. Garima who came inside to call everyone for Lunch did notice this.. She was happy seeing Khushi having such a good life partner like Arnav.. No doubt all their Son in laws were nice but Arnav was still an exception. He was a way too good shattering their conceived opinion about him as an introvert.
**************
Dinning Table
Khushi was sitting next to Arnav who had held her hand purposely below the table, not letting her react much..She was quietly eating her food letting him do his antics below the table being helpless of the situation.. Garima and Madhumati were teasing Lavanya and Khushi for giving them such a news of Pregnancy very soon as Anjali had already delivered and there were sure Payal too would be giving this news to them very soon.. The moment Garima said this, Arnav happily tightened his grip on her hand to gesture he was so desperate to make this happen.. She widened her eyes to him not wishing him to do anything here which would embarrass her before the family.. Lavanya looked at NK when they were been teased but he looked more interested in the food and was avoiding La to the fullest.. This surely made her weak from inside and she excused everyone and left from there not finishing her food properly.. Khushi was confused and so was Arnav.. They looked at NK who gave them a "I am not bothered" look and continued eating.. Khushi hurried with her food and the went to check if La was fine..
It was finally time for Arnav and NK to leave back to their respective houses. Lavanya and Khushi were getting ready while Madhumati was waiting for Garima to inform the Son in Laws that their wives wont be coming along with them tonight..
Garima : Beta Its hardly a matter of one more day for the naming ceremony and it would be helpful if we have our daughters by our side for the preparations.. Tomorrow you can take your wives back safely.
NK : I dont have any issues aunty.. He said placidly as a matter of fact tone.
Arnav wasnt pleased with this idea neither was Khushi.. But he couldnt deny it either..Khushi felt that she is losing opportunity of one day to understand the truth.
Garima noticed the low face of Arnav who is not very much happy about her statement.
Garima : Arnav bitwa , if you find it difficult its ok for us.. You can take Khushi along with you now.
Khushi was excited to hear and turned to look at Arnav. Arnav interrupted in understanding the situation where his wife is needed the most. He knew she would be of good help to them for the function.
Arnav : No aunty ... I am fine. I will take her tomorrow after the function.Khushi sighed in disbelief as her last ray of hope of Arnav accepting to take her now had been diminished by his own words.
Gesturing his wife to take care and that he would ring her later, he left the house promising to be here tomorrow before the ceremony starts..
Arnav leaving the house surely put Khushi into more dilemma as to how she will confront him now with what Anjali told her..Is it plausible to carry out a discussion through phone she thought. But keeping aside all her thoughts she decided to ask him the next day after the ceremony.
************
Next Day - Naming Ceremony..
The guests were already present in Gupta house along with the Raizada's who looked very happy today as their first grand daughter would be named today.. Usually the baby's Bua (father's sister) gets this right to name the kid but since the Raizada's had no daughter, they had planned to give this opportunity to one of the Maasi of the baby which included either Payal, La or Khushi.. All these 3 Maasi's decided together upon the name and they didn't wish to let the name known to anyone before the ceremony starts..
Payal was feeling little exhausted.. She had no idea what made her so..She didn't work much. May be the therapy that she was going through for getting pregnant was making her feel so tired.. She continued helping the others for packing the sweet boxes for the guests when she saw an old lady who was a long relative to the Gupta's coming and praising her for doing so much work alone.. She thanked her and in return the old lady blessed her to have a baby soon to complete her family too. Payal was delighted .. She got some vibes that this blessing would come true some day and probably very soon but thats when Manorama came there and started arguing with her for not finishing the work yet,..
Manorama: How much time you need to pack just 10 more boxes Payal?
Payal : Sasuma , Just 10 more minutes.. I am doing this alone here.. Khushi and La are busy in other work..
Manorama: Whatever.. I dont care for the excuses.. Dont forget I am the Mother in law.. Not you.. Now continue your work and tell me once done..
Saying that she left while Payal sighed feeling nervous again. She could feel since she isn't giving the family a news of being Pregnant , her mother in law was treating her odd.. Once that matter gets resolved, everything would be fine then. Having that hope, she continued working..
**************
Shalini and Shravan with their father Sagar had attended the function too. Arnav had noticed Shravan from the entrance and his one stare was enough for Shravan to bend his head down in fear. He turned his eyes to the person standing next to Shravan who is none other than Shalini. He ignored the much wanted guests of Raizadas and got into his searching mission of finding his wife for something important.
The families gathered around the cradle for the naming ceremony. After attending numerous guests without even getting a glance of his wife for one second Arnav got irritated and joined NK and Akash near the cradle where all were present. Thats when he noticed the ladies standing near the baby. His wife was dressed in dark red saree which surely seduced him with just one look. She hadnt noticed him from the morning but she could sense someone watching her with intense gaze. She looked around and spotted her husband in white kurta. He rarely wore a kurta and that too this dashing look stumped her with his hot gaze and sexy smirk. The small blush which was created on her cheeks aroused Arnav in an instant. He winked at her thinking about the weird thoughts that was hovering in his mind with her red colour saree's effect. The naughty glint in his eyes with the lopsided smile and the wink did surely send shivers through her spines comprehending on what he would be thinking about.She diverted her attention to the baby as he was no where deciding to stop this eye talk in the public.
Anjali was made to stand near Shyam by her mother Madhumati realizing that the parents should stand together for the function. Shyam was feeling elated for the fact that his wife didn't throw tantrums in public though her face was much evident of her anger towards the awkwardness created by her mother and mother in law. She ignored him totally to get her concentration on the baby. He grabbed the perfect opportunity and wrapped his arm over her shoulder. A sudden bolt of shock ran through her spine creating an irritation with his touch. Not able to withstand his Public Display of Affection she turned to look at him with a fire spitting eyes that shivered him to the core. He slowly removed his arm and turned his face towards his family as he knew she would even dare to shout at him infront of the public if he crosses the limit.
Khushi held the baby as the priest announced the timing for the name ceremony. Payal stood on her left side and Lavanya on her right side. All maasis were really ecstatic to have got the honour of naming the angel of their house. Anjali admired her sisters who were jumping in joy with the baby in their arms. Their husbands though standing a way far from them could feel their excitement too. For the first time once NK felt a tinge of admiration for Lavanya as he saw her affection towards the baby. Akash could stare at the million dollar happiness on her wife's face which clearly made him pray to God to bless with with a baby soon. Arnav as usual couldnt take off his eyes from Khushi's face. The innocence and pure love showered on the baby touched him so much that he couldnt wait to see their child in her arms.
Khushi : Payal , Lavanya are you ready.. we shall say the name together.
Madhumati : Oh.. Girls... dont scare the baby by shouting.. just say the name gently on her ears. The crowd laughed and the girls turned around to see the baby opening her eyes waiting for her maasis to name her.
Khushi , Lavanya and Payal : We name our cute little angel as Ananya..
The crowd clapped at the selection of their name.. the maasis were having busy time in kissing their angel. Khushi and Lavanya handed over the baby to Payal and moved to attend the guests with their family. Anjali and Shyam had been called by the priest to get the prasad from the mandir. Manorama came to the front to take the child from Payal when Payal had taken the baby in hand.
Manorama : now let me have my granddaughter with me for a while.
She shrugged her shoulders making Payal sad. Thankfully she noticed that no one had been around when this happened. Akash came behind her keeping a hand on her shoulders consoling her that this would pass soon . She nodded with a smile gesturing him that she is fine with Manorama's acts.
*********************
Shalini was fuming inside the kitchen when her brother spotted her while searching the whole house. He saw her biting her nails in frustration which made Shravan understand that it had something to do with Arnav.
Shravan : Did Arnav ignore you again ? I dont think he would come back to you anymore. He is totally smitten by his wife.
Shalini : Shut up Shravan. He is mine.. Whatever his wife tries I wont let that happen.
Shravan laughed at her like a monster looking at his sister's pathetic confidence.
Shravan : Shame on you Shalini.. You cant get hold of him all these years..now you are confident that he would be yours after being married to the girl whom he is madly in love with?
Shalini : A feather touch is enough to demolish a pack of cards formation.
Shravan : hmm.. I would stick on to no hopes on this. That girl is hot and attractive... No wonder he fell for her.
Shalini :Can you just stop it.. Just leave me alone Shravan..
Shravan: Cool Sister.. I will leave you alone.. but take care of your mental health.. Soon you might end up in a mental asylum because of that Arnav.
He left her alone while Shalini continued to think about what she could do. She found someone entering into the kitchen and to her luck it was Arnav. He had come in search of Khushi but ended up in finding the ice water from the refrigerator. While drinking water water caught on his throat and started coughing badly. Shalini rushed near him and soothed him by caressing hi back and chest. He tried to shrug her hands but his heavy cough had resisted him to stop her. She opened his kurta buttons and started to caress his chest while making his face look up to stop coughing. He was irked with her touches and tried to shrug it off. But she was adamant in touching on the pretext of helping him. She lovingly smiled at him and started to wipe the sweat of him with her saree. After he stopped coughing he threw her hands off his body staring at her.
Arnav : Stay on your limits Shalini. He moved forward to attack her with the closed fists but stepped back with closed eyes. Fearing that he would slap her out of his impulsive anger he stormed out of the kitchen
Shalini smiled at the angry daring look of her ex lover and smiled that he was helpless for altleast some moments. but she failed to notice the pair of eyes which were watching this scene intently. When Shalini turned back with her smirk she was shocked to see Khushi standing with her fury hitting her eyes emitting daggers. It didnt take much long for Khushi to stride in and slap hard on Shalini's face without giving a moment of thought.
Khushi : How dare you touch my husband with your filthy hands? She slapped Shalini once more unable to think of her hands touching him whom she possessed with right.
Shalini stopped her hands in the middle and spat back for her spontaneous anger.
Shalini : Stop it.. He WAS my fiance.. remember that..
Khushi : He IS my Husband.. You have no right to touch my husband.. Infact he is mine and I have the only right to touch him.
Shalini got furious with her words and thought of showing Khushi her place.
Shalini : But he chose to touch me first before you.. How sad? Still that makes you the second in line after me..
Khushi was shocked at the words. She didnt plainly understand what Shalini was referring to. Still she didnt believe as Shalini might twist her words just to make her misunderstand Arnav.
Khushi : What the hell are you talking dammit ?
Shalini : Oh the husband who didn't conceal anything from you about his engagement conveniently forgot to confess you that he had utilised the rights of a husband unofficially fulfilling his desires on me before he broke the engagement?
