-look at you...

Khushi kissed Mahi little chubby hands and wrists...

Mahi giggled

-maa...

-yes mama...mama...

Leaning before her while she's on the bed, khushi was playing with Mahi baby, showing her Arnav's photo

Mahi recognized him but soon she brings the photo to her mouth wanting to suck it

-no...no...no

Khushi takes back the photo and then kissed it...looked at it

-I love him Mahi...I do! From my heart...from the bottom of my heart but I'm so stupid...so stupid! I should call him...call him...

She looked once at Mahi, she's playing with her teddies and forgetting the entire world around

Khushi pouted

-you don't even bother answer me, right?...all what you love right now is your hello kitty teddy, right?

Khushi smiled, kissing her little ankle

-what's troubling you?

Anjeli saw the door opened and she heard it all...she decided to walk in

-Anjeliji?

Khushi gets up and smiled immediately

Finally someone is talking to her in this mansion

Anjeli walked closer and sits on the edge of the bed, khushi sits next to her...they first observed Mahi while she's playing

They both smile

-so, what is troubling you?

Anjeli asked

Khushi starts choosing her words...this is the first time she's talking with Anjeli like this and she won't to the conversation to end so soon

-I...I told him that...I love him

She confessed immediately

Anjeli smiled

-and what's the problem with that?

-the problem...I deny it some seconds later

-huhh?...why?

-I got frightened he doesn't feel the same

Anjeli gets silent, bitted her lower lip, trying to hide another smile and then takes Mahi on her arms

-in love, you can only give, you're not supposed to wait for anything in return

Khushi pouted

She felt Anjeli pulling her chin and looked up at her

-aren't you able to see how much he loves you?

-I...

More troubled, khushi looked down

-he was crazy the night you left and Nani was in hospital, he couldn't wait to bring you back home, he maybe made a mistake by forcing you to marry him but that was destiny, your both destiny to meet

-I love him so much, so much, if he knows how much

Anjeli smiled

-I don't have any doubt

-thank you, thank you Anjeliji

Khushi held her hand

-but for what?

-for everything, for not judging me, for understanding everything and for talking to me

Anjeli giggled for the first time

-you're really cute, you're like Maya, she's always talking nonsense...

Anjeli said that and then her smile vanished...she stands up and then

-I should go

She said suddenly and sadly and went out with Mahi as fast as she could...

Khushi understood her...

The memory of her sister still fresh and she's not able to smile or laugh without that pain inside

It would be more than painful to lose someone you love and adore...

And Maya's death was more than dramatic to her family

************************

Khushi decided to prepare the dinner herself

It would be a treat for all

After living here in RM, she knew almost the likes and dislikes of everyone

Hp helped her a lot and at dinner time when Nani, Anjeli and Mahi were down and Arnav back from office, all was ready and carefully putted on a decorated dining table

No one went excited seeing this

But khushi could said that they are little surprised by this

No one said anything

When they wash and sit down to eat

Khushi served them quietly too

Only Mahi's blabbering was there but the atmosphere was just...

Khushi looked at him...and his tired gaze was enough to tell her how a hard working day he spend

Nani still little angry but she's eating with appetite

Anjeli was so silent, feeding Mahi

-I'm wondering why HP had prepared all this food!

Arnav spoke finally

-Actually..

Hp were about to talk

-and your sense of decoration, that's new too!

Anjeli added looking at HP

Khushi was about to explain that all this is her did

-and also, you never thought of preparing to each one his favorite dish, thank you

Nani said to HP who is troubled as only him was receiving the reward

-I like to have dinner with candles around

Anjeli added

-thank you HP, I enjoy it all

Arnav said while his eyes were on khushi...

She was about to talk

-bit salty but good for me

He arched his eyebrow when she was about to talk

-not that salty bahai

Anjeli commented

HP was about to talk

-but...maybe little spicy

Nani said

Khushi nodded negatively and was about to talk

-I don't mind eating this everyday

Arnav said, knowing very well who prepared all this dinner, he minds it the moment he has the first spoon

-Khushi bahabi was the one doing it all

Hp said out loud

Arnav fixed khushi with his amused gaze and irresistible smirk

Nani arched his eyebrow and so Anjeli...both also knew that khushi is making all this for them

-really?

-yes but HP helped me so much

Khushi explained

She looked down...

She felt Arnav is making fun on her and his amused gaze satisfied her...she smiled and ate her food...

This family is taking a place in her heart...she told this this morning itself to her mother

And she told her to not worry

Arnav looked at her and stands up

He needs to talk to her, he needs them to be alone

-Arnavji...

She looked up

-please...finish your dinner...

She looked at him

-I finish it already

He gestured his plate to her

She smiled to him immediately

Nani coughed as it looks like the couple is not aware that they are all there looking at them

Khushi stands up and pick up Mahi who finished eating and reclaim another session of playing

Khushi smells her baby scent and she kissed the top of her head...

Together they went to play in the living room

Arnav following

-who is the most beautiful girl in the world?...my Mahiii

Khushi said happily

She looked to see Arnav's weak smile

-I missed you all the day

She whispered

The living room and dining table weren't separated by any wall, so, they could see them

-I need to talk to you, you go upstairs, I will follow

He said taking Mahi in his arms

-what will I said to them?

-that you're tired, that you're going to sleep!

He said fast walking away from there to not give her any chance to protest

****

Khushi couldn't help but help them arranging everything in kitchen and then she runs upstairs, after telling them all that she's tired and needs to sleep

She has to wait only for some minutes before she heard the door opened and him, appearing

She's standing up in the room and he has only to walk to her, held her closer to him and kiss her...

It took her by surprise, she gasped, searching for some oxygen

And then she smiles, holds his face

-oh...oh...miss you, miss you, miss you Arnavji...

He smiled and lifts her

-I'm just here...I left this morning only

He said it but he was always missing her all the day

-even so, I miss you...it seems like eternity this day...(she bitted her lip), you forgive me?

-for what?

-I love you...I really do...I don't know why I deny it

He smiled again, fixing her with his intense gaze

-how much?

She doesn't expect that

She looked up at him and smiled sweetly

-tell me! I need to know

He's so irresistible...she can't...

-I love you more than myself

She answered innocently

-moooree...lots...lots...

She answered and he cuts her by one warm and loving kiss

-you know...I told ammaa...I told her about this love that I have in my heart for you...she's praying for us...for god to protect us

-really?

-yes...

-she's kind such as you

Khushi smiled

Arnav lifts her to bed

He sits and starts removing his shirt

Khushi stopped him and starts unbuttoning herself his shirt

And then removing it

Her hand caressed his shoulder and then runs over his chest, rest above his heart, she could feel his heart bits

-what's could be here?

She asked

He snatches her hand and pulled her closer to him

-don't you know?

She nodded negatively

-in my heart there are lots of people, my parents...my sisters...Nani...Mahi...

He stopped, wanting to tease her, she looked up at him with questioning eyes

-but its bits are only for you

She smiled , bitted her lower lip and gave his cheek a tight kiss and then hides her face in the hook of his neck

Happiness of the confessions made her heart satisfied

She closed her eyes , feeling her husband's hands around her

They stay like that for a moment

-you know...someone is asking for Anjeli's hand

-really??

Khushi looked at him

She saw his eyes full of joy but there is no hope

-she will refuse, I know

-don't say this, of course, she needs to meet the boy and see

-khushi, you don't understand, Anjeli is way more sensitive than me, she will never turn the page

Khushi looked at him but she's remembering the way Anjeli didn't allow herself to smile properly

To live properly, she will never forget her sister, nor Arnav will do but Arnav is letting the time do its job

He's living

He's accepting her love, care

-what if you don't tell her about the boy and we just plan their meeting as a sudden meeting, like they just meet by chance and...maybe

Arnav smirked

-you watched so much drama

-so much and I knew how those things happened...the boy hits on the girl and they got crush on each other and ...

He puts his index against her lips to stop her

-shh...she's my sister

She smiled, kissed his index

-you're naughty!

He pulled her on his lap

-smelling like babies

He kissed her neck

-I spend all the day with Mahi ...and I talked with Anjeliji

He smiled, she seems so happy for only that

-I want to love you

He said looking down at her eyes and down ...eating her with his intense gaze

He starts unzipping her outfit

-Arnavji?

-yes?

His husky voice...Damn

She kissed his chin, his cheeks, he closed his eyes

-I have something for you

-hmm

She left his arms, he doesn't like this but he waited as she runs to the closet and brings out something...

Seems like a paper

She gave it to him

He stares at it

-it's you...who made this

She nodded

-it's perfect yet...naughty

He smirked looking at her and then what she draws

Him holding her like the way he does this morning itself

(Note:all the credit goes to the person drawing this who isn't me, but I think it's the talented Ana Khan)

-did I inspired you Mrs Raizada!

She nodded

-usually , I don't draw like this but...lack of supply, I have only a pencil

-means if u have supply, you would draw even better than this?

She nodded

-oh you're so down to earth...you know that you draw perfectly right?

-yes

-oh

He arched his eyebrow

-next month you would be busy only drawing and doing what you really love in your university

She smiled, leaned and kissed the tip of his nose

-I know

-but till then you can draw your husband the way you want, my artist

He pulled her to him

-in every position you want

He added making her blush

-in my bed here...you...naked and me too

-Arnavji

-your body soft, so soft under mine

-Arnavji...shhh...

She puts her palm against his lips

-your words are...

She bitted her lower lip and looked down shyly

-so much for me

She added and looked straight at his eyes, she takes her hand off his lips

And first thing he does is to pull her for a passionate kiss

So deep that it takes her breath away

They kissed like it was the first time ever

Arnav takes all his time to show her his love, not with words but with acts...

A kiss gives her all connection to his heart

He needs her to feel safe, to trust him unconditionally

She's his wife...his wife that he loves...so damn much and this feeling is filling his heart and every parcel of his being

Listening to her moan against his lips, he felt insane and wants more

He pressed her against him, almost crushing her petite form, under him in the bed

Khushi understood that his love is possessive and powerful towards her

His intense gaze and passionate kisses and hugs are the prove

-I need you right now

-I need you...

Khushi stopped hearing Mahi's baby cries

She looked at Arnav

-it's Mahi...she's crying

-shhh...she will calm down...she's not alone, Anjeli is with her

Arnav tried to calm her but khushi is tensed now as Mahi is crying badly now

-she's...crying...again...let me go check her

Arnav thought a little bit before getting up

She gets up and both adjust their clothes before running to Mahi's room

Mahi baby, smiled when she saw them but she couldn't stop crying

-what happened?

Arnav picks her up

Anjeli and Nani were there

-she's teething...it pains that's why

Nani said but she was worried

-we need a doctor maybe

-Bahai...it's her tooth the problem...take a look, she's ok now

Mahi is ok only because she's rubbing her red gum against Arnva's shirt collar

-this eased the pain of her gum, she stopped crying

Khushi said looking at poor baby Mahi

-in the morning we should take her to her doctor, this night she will sleep with us

******

Mahi seems to be amused now

Sleeping in between her mama mami is fun

Khushi finds her chilled teething ring that she disinfected and brings it to her

Mahi has already four teeth but the rest is troubling her to grow and she has her face which is all red from little pain and crying for the past last minutes

Khushi kissed her forehead

-baby girl is fine now

She whispered

-yeah but I'm not fine

Arnav looks at her

-huh? Why?

She doesn't understand his naughtiness and brings her hand to his forehead to check him

-khushi!

He held her hand

-because a little angel disturbed what we were doing in this bed

-shhh

She couldn't resist but to smile

She leaned to kiss his cheek

Mahi giggled because when Khushi leaned, her long hair tickled her little face

Her giggles amused them

They turn to her and looked amazed by her beauty and innocence and good mood

-Mahi

Khushi whispered

And baby recognizing her name turned to look at her mami

-love you so much

Khushi kissed her softly

Arnav smiled to them and takes them closer to him for a good and happy night of sleep
