Intezaar karte - karte hum thak gaye...

PLSSS...UPDATE SOON

"Khushi, be quick. I don't have all day for you.." Arnav placed his tie knot at its right place as he placed orders one after the other.

"Laad Governor! If he wants everything to be done quick then why don't he helps me instead of placing orders? Aur waise bhi, I am perfectly fine, aren't I, Ebu?" Khushi looked down at her son as she wrestled with him to put his clothes on.

"Bu...Bu..."

"Thanks for agreeing, Ebu. Looks like only you understand me, others are just busy in placing orders.." Khushi glared at her husband, who was busy fixing his look in the mirror. "As if he is going to attend his own wedding." Khushi huffed.

"If your nonsense is over, then shall we leave?" Arnav walked towards the two frowning figure.

"He is telling I am talking nonsense" Khushi whispered in Ebu's ear.

"Bu...bu..." he air punched in Arnav's direction.

"What the!"

Khushi laughed.

"I am training him against you.." she laughed.

Arnav glared at her.

"I said stop all your nonsense and come, I am getting late.." he caught her hand and dragged her outside the room.

"But Arnav ji, I am fine. Why to go to that expensive doctor and waste our money. Can't you see I am fine?" Khushi protested as Arnav continued dragging her.

"Khushi, you still have some injuries from the accident, we can't ignore that. And this is the last time we are discussing this, I will not repeat it again." Arnav berated in no nonsense tone, which put Khushi to stop.

Khushi twitched her mouth in annoyance and got into the car as he held the door open for her.

"Ebu, say Amma...say na baby..." Khushi pestered him. But pouted as he didn't say anything. "You listen to everything I say, then why not this, Ebu?" and in response he giggled and buried his face in the hallow of her neck. Khushi smiled and hugged him close.

Arnav looked sideway to see both of them cuddled to eachother. A small smile graced his lips but he immediately turned away as he saw Khushi turn towards him.

"Arnav ji? Can I stay at Buaji's place today" Khushi asked.

"What do you mean by that?" Arnav asked, annoyed already

"I mean Buaji was asking me to come to meet her so I thought I will stay over Buaji's for today." Khushi explained.

"No!"

"What?" Khushi looked at him, shocked.

"But Arnav ji, I have asked Nani. She told its ok if I stay. Just one day, Arnav ji. You can come tomorrow to pick me, please...?" She made a puppy face.

"I said NO!!"

"But why, Arnav ji?" Khushi asked, her voice defeated.

Arnav looked straight ahead, the grip on the steering wheel tightening. Now how is he to tell her WHY? How will he leave his piles of files and go back home, in the greed of seeing her if she is not there? How will he pretend to be annoyed at their silly games, so that they can annoy him more? How will be hear their innocent blabbering at night? And most importantly from where will he buy an ounce of sleep if she is not there to sing in her sweet voice?

"Boliye na Arnav ji!"

"I said no means NO. Can' t you understand?"

"No. I don't understand what the problem is if I stay at Buaji's place for today. I am just asking for one day. Please...please...please...please...please...please..."

"SHUT UP KHUSHI!!"

Khushi hunched back in her seat.

"Why are you shouting?" Khushi turned her face to look outside the window. "Laad Governor. Always ordering me around." Khushi muttered under her breath, too annoyed.

"Come out, Khushi." Arnav held the door open for her.

He saw her mutter something as she got out with Abeer.

...

Arnav sat in front of Doctor's desk with Abeer in his arms as the Doctor examined Khushi.

"Bu..Bu..." Abeer patted his father's cheek.

"Shut up. Both son and mother are the same.." Arnav muttered, annoyed.

"Everything is fine, Mr.Raizada" Doctor smiled at Arnav and sat on her chair.

"Dekha. Humne bola tha na." Khushi smirked at Arnav ji.

"Thank you, Doctor..." Arnav got up from the chair and held Khushi's hand.

...

"Sir!"

Arnav halted in his track. He turned around to look at Aman.

"Aman? What are you doing here?" Arnav looked at him confused.

"Namaste Aman Sir." Khushi smiled at him.

Aman looked at Khushi.

"Hi Khushi. How are you?" Aman asked.

"I am fine, Aman Sir."

Aman smiled at Khushi and then looked at Arnav. "Sir, Mr. Sharma,our retired employee, yesterday he had a heart stroke. So I just came to ask his health. He looks better now though"

"Oh.." Arnav looked at Khushi. "Khushi, you stay here. I will just be back. Don't move from here.."

"Ji.." and she saw him leaving with Aman Sir. "Laad Governor. He such a Laad Governor, Ebu." Khushi looked at her Son. "Uffo, why am I being so complaining? He is not a Laad Governor, he cares for everyone." Khushi smiled at Ebu.

"Bu...Bu.." he agreed with his mother.

Khushi stood there, wandering her eyes around, not moving as per her husband's instruction. And that's when her eyes caught the picture on the wall.

"Aww...That baby is so cute, Ebu..." Khushi smiled at the pic and then looked at her frowning Son. "Aww...not as cute as my Ebu...My Ebu is the cutest thing.." Khushi nuzzled his chubby cheeks, making him giggle.

Khushi moved towards the wall, where the pics of babies were plastered. She looked at every picture, letting out a sigh at every pic. She moved near the open window.

"She just looks like you, Priya.."

Khushi looked inside the window. Husband and wife cuddling their new born infant.

"But her eyes are like you.." the wife told to her husband.

"And her nose is just like you.." the husband looked at his wife with tenderness.

Khushi looked at Ebu, who was busy in burying his face in her neck.

"Khushi, come..." Khushi turned around, startled.

"Ji..." Giving a last look at the happy family inside, she moved towards Arnav ji.

They again took the route to Shantivan and after dropping Khushi there, Arnav drove to his office.

Arnav entered the room to witness yet another antic of his wife and son. Arnav kept his laptop on the recliner and loosened few buttons of his shirt. He again looked at the two. Khushi held a mirror in her hand. She was looking for something on her face and then doing the same with Ebu. Unable to decode their game this time, Arnav began.

"Khushi, what are you doing?"

"Arnav ji, you came? I will bring your dinner..."

"No thanks, I had my dinner. Now say what are you doing?" Arnav moved towards his wardrobe.

"I am searching for similarities, Arnav ji. I am seeing which identical features I and Ebu have.." Khushi replied to his answer, her eyes still busy in searching the similarities. "Is it the eyes?" Khushi looked at her eyes in the mirror.

Arnav's hand halted in whatever he was doing. He turned to look at Khushi. Eyes? No! Abeer's eyes are the exact replica of his Di.

"Uffo!!" Khushi's eyes brimmed with tears. "There's nothing similar." A tear rolled down her cheek.

Arnav clenched his fist as the tear shot a sharp pain in his chest. Without saying anything, he took his night clothes and entered the bathroom.

"You are my baby, Ebu. There HAS to be some similarities. I will search it." Khushi hugged Ebu close to her chest and laid on the bed.

Arnav came out of the bathroom to see both of them already asleep. The mirror still in her hand. He walked to her side and sat there. Taking the mirror from her hand, he kept it on the bed side table. He stared at Khushi's beautiful glowing face and then at the bundle cuddled to her. He put the few fluttering strands behind her ear and caressed her face with her hand.

"Have you heard the sound of your laughter, Khushi?" Arnav bent over her.

"That's the similarity. Have you seen his smile? It's the same as yours" Arnav smiled and kissed her forehead.

Arnav stood in front of the mirror, getting ready for another day. And that's when he heard her cry.

"Arnav ji, I found it!!!" Khushi cheered happily.

"What?!" Arnav turned to look at her.

"His smile, Arnav ji. See his smile and see mine, they are similar." Khushi picked Ebu and hugged him, too happy to find atleast one similarity.

Arnav turned to face the mirror, allowing a small smile to grace his lips.

"Stop your nonsense, khushi. Grow up." he collected his laptop bag and walked towards them. Bending down, he kissed her cheek and was about to get up when Khushi forwarded Ebu. Kissing Abeer too, he got up and left for the day.

"EEe...I found it, Ebu. I found it. Of-course there has to be similarities, you are MY baby." Khushi kissed his cheek and slummed on the bed with Ebu, too happy.

Trying to find similarities where there is none and still both Arnav and Khushi find it!

It is said proximity brings similarities over the years... But here it is within a few months! 😉

Lovely update...
