NEW SS: Missing Love ~ Sneak Peak of Part 4 (28/05) - Page 31

Part 2

The Father and the Son were busy outside playing Basket ball while Khushi was still cleaning the vessels in the Kitchen. She liked doing such things at home and not letting maids help her especially when she had ample of time to do such household work. That made her busy and get away from her thoughts. The door bell rang and she thought it would be her Son and Arnav. She came out and opened the door , Akash was standing there with a smile .

Khushi: Aki?

Akash: Hi Khushi.

Khushi: What are you doing here? I told you I am not coming to Office today.

Akash: I know that, but just thought of checking you before I start for work .Are you not well ?

He walked in as Khushi gave him way to enter.

Khushi: I look ill?

Akash chuckled

Akash: No you dont, but a Saree? And that too such a gorgeous one at home? That gave me doubts. You can only do such things when you are not in a mood to think right.

Khushi stopped and turned to him.

Khushi: I have a Guest at home. My.. Ex Husband.

Akash was little serious knowing that but he quickly raised another question.

Akash: So your Guest liked to see you in Saree?

Khushi gulped down the pain she felt responding back to Akash's doubts. She smiled weakly.

Khushi : He did at times. But I dont think it matters anymore now. Sit. I will make some coffee for you.

Akash: Thanks. Where is Aunty?

Khushi: She left for Office.

Akash picked a magazine and started reading it while Khushi utilisized her time in Coffee making.

She served the Coffee to Akash when suddenly Aarav came running inside with the Basket ball in his hand screaming "I won" "I won". Akash smiled seeing Aarav and the kid hopped on the Couch to tell his Mumma and Akash Uncle how he defeated his father in the Basket Ball. Arnav had followed Aarav too in his Vest and Black Trousers. Sweat was dripping from his body but he hardly cared at the moment seeing Khushi having a Guest at home. He came there in no time and thats what complexed the whole situation. Akash got up to greet him shaking hands with him.

Akash: Hi ASR. Nice meeting you.

Arnav: Hi.. But I didnt recognise you Mr..?

Akash: Akash Roy. I am Khushi's Partner!! I mean Business Partner.

SO he was AKI ? Arnav's expressions didnt seem better after this. He did glance at Khushi who tried to be as normal as she could.

Khushi: Aarav baby come here, let me wipe your head.

Aarav: No Mumma. I am fine. Wipe Dad's head.

Aarav dragged Arnav towards Khushi who was holding the Towel in her hand and totally numb with such situations. How on earth can she explain her Son all these rights have been erased by them long back. Arnav too felt a bit uncomfortable seeing Khushi not reacting at all. Akash tried to break the ice here.

Akash : Khushi. The Coffee is great as usual. Can I have one more?

Khushi : Yeah. Why not. ?

Akash: Infact let me see how you make it. I can learn too.

Khushi didnt mind. He got up and followed Khushi while Arnav kept on looking at them with an unknown feeling which the world named JEALOUSY. He didnt even realise Aarav was holding his hand and asking him something.

After almost 15 more minutes Akash and Khushi came out of the Kitchen smiling. Arnav was at the Couch watching Aarav's drawing book which he showed to his father.

Akash: Okay so see you tomorrow then Khushi. I will handle all work today, you dont have to bother about that.

Khushi: When you are replacing me, I can hardly bother of anything Aki. Thanks so much.

Akash: My pleasure .

He caressed Khsuhi's back giving her a side hug which was well noticed by Arnav and he somewhere had started hating this man who was getting so close to his Ex wife. Khushi dropped Akash till the door and then locked it . She turned to see Aarav still in the same T shirt which he wore while playing the Basketball with his father. She came to her Son and picked him up in arms without his permission.

Khushi: Time for shower boy.

Aarav was in no mood of having the shower. He started swaying his legs in air while Arnav was still staring at Khushi.

Aarav: Mumma no . I will have bath later. I just had in the morning.

Khushi: But you are dirty again playing outside. See your hair. All messed up .Mumma will give you a special bubble bath. Okay?

He denied still and got down her arms hugging his father.

Aarav: Dad will give me bath. Hai naa Dad?

Arnav and Khushi's eyes met and she knew her Ex husband well. He never had time for such small concerns.

Khsuhi: Dad has work baby.

Arnav: Dont decide on behalf of me Khushi. I will manage to get him a bath.

He picked Aarav in his arms and went from there confusing Khushi a bit.

The warm water of the Shower made her Skin feel relaxed and glow feeling his fingers circling her waist as they stood below the shower with Khushi's back resting at his front . Though it had been just a week for their marriage, she never had imagined he would join her for this shower because he was always busy in the morning to get to work as soon as he can. But today he showed as if all his time was just hers and that made her morning delighted. He kissed her neck sucking the water from her shoulder and she turned around to meet his face. He kissed her gently yet being hungry for contact . Rubbing himself on her, he kicked off his remaining clothes from his body running his hand between her legs. She grew weak to his assaults and her eyes clouded with longing. She kissed his neck and chest earning a breathless groan. He fisted her hair and whispered in her ear

Arnav: I want this morning to be incredible Khushi.

The need to be one and inside her made him speed up his movements and in next few minutes he melded their bodies into one , fulfilling her with his seeds, holding her body steady after the cries. Once he felt she had relaxed, he kissed her earlobe again hugging her tight , slowing down the speed of the SHower.

Arnav:

We have to skip our honeymoon Khushi. I have some clients coming to Delhi next week. A very complicated and profitable Deal I cannot think of losing for such small reasons.

She closed her eyes tight to bare the physical and the mental pain he gave her by confessing yet again, how he demanded another sacrifice from her for his Mere Business Deal.

Aarav's sudden screams asking his father to lather him with the Body soap made Arnav come out of the old thoughts and concentrate back on his son. Not then but today he definately had realised how precious those moments were which he lost only because of his Overneeded Professionalism.

He came out wrapping his Son and himself in two Towels and unexpectedly he found Khushi waiting in the room. It was hard for her to see Arnav in so less clothes again. She turned her gaze but Aarav came running to her asking her to wipe his head.

Khushi: Thats why I am here. Come lets get back to your room .

Aarav: No. Wipe me here in this room . I want to be with Dad.

Arnav didnt mind, he started fetching his clothes from the Bag while Khushi lovingly wiped her son's head. She had wiped it well by now and thats when Arnav Sneezed once. She became alert because she remembered how easily he catches cold if he doesnt wipe off his body well after bath. He ignored his sneeze and continued finding his clothes and then sneezed again.

Khushi: You should wipe your head first.

She was sort of commanding but Arnav didnt give a ear to it. He kept on fetching his clothes and attended the call which rang on his mobile. Khushi concentrated back on Aarav who was playing with her saree pallu's end as she wiped her head.

Arnav: Yeah Aman. What? Are you sure? How many days? Fine. I am extending my stay here then. For a week.

Khushi dropped the Towel from her hand as Arnav responded back to Aman not missing the eye contact. He wanted to see what her reactions would be knowing his stay has been extended for a week now. As expected she was confused and a little tensed too. Aarav started jumping on bed with happiness that his Dad would be staying for more days this time. Arnav cut the call and while Aarav was still not much concentrating on them, he came to Khushi and picked the towel for her.

Arnav: I will book a Hotel for my stay. You dont have to bother about it.

He placed the Towel in her hand and then picking his clothes from bag he went again in the bathroom to change. It was so obvious he cannot change his clothes in front of his Ex wife.

Evening

Garima was back and she was having her evening Tea with Arnav. Khushi was serving the snacks to them while Aarav was not around here which made Garima talk freely to Arnav.

Garima: Hotel? Why Hotel Arnav? This is your house too. You can stay here as long as you wish.

Khushi kept her eyes lowered as she didnt wish to intrude her mother and Arnav's conversation.

Arnav: I dont wish to intrude your privacy here, I was here thinking its just a matter of a day but now since its for a week. I can shift.

Garima: So what if its for a week. I dont think you have to shift. Think about Aarav, what will you tell him? He knows you are here for a week and this is the first time you will get so much time with your Son. Dont you want the same?

Arnav saw Khushi who was still not meeting his eyes and something was going inside her brains still. She was uncomfortable and the situations were not helping her ease at all. She was going to drop a plate from her hand which Arnav quickly held not letting it fall down. She thanked him and he just placed the plate back aside.

Arnav: I wont shift unless Khushi is Okay with my stay here.

He left it on her and she didnt know what to reply. Did she want him to stay here? Or was she scared of her inner feelings? Garima and Arnav were waiting for her reply and she didnt take long to answer either.

Khushi: As mumma said, this is also your house Arnav, I can never mind. Its just that I cant make Aarav be at home for a week. He has to go to school from tomorrow.

Garima chuckled while Arnav leaned back sipping his Coffee again. Aarav rushed towards his father hugging him from behind.

Aarav: Dad I want Ice cream. Mumma doesnt allow me have it.

Khushi: Aarav? You ate it just yesterday night. You will catch cold baby .

Aarav: Please Mumma. Just one more. With Dad. Please ..

He pouted and Khushi had no chance of denying especially when her Ex husband gave a green signal to his son's wishes.

Arnav: Dad will take you out for Ice cream. Happy ?

Aarav jumped with joy again giving smiles to the other 3. Khushi got up to leave but Arnav caught her hand. This was unusual and she was sensing the change in him and his touch too

Arnav: I am not much sure of Ice cream parlour here .Join us.

He was asking her to join them for the Ice Cream? Should she? or Shouldnt she?
