Chapter 6

Anjali herself took Khushi up to her room, tucking her into bed making sure she actually rests even if Khushi felt no need for it.

She was fidgeting trying to get comfortable in bed when a noise from a distance caught her attention. looking towards the door she felt a little dumb struck as Arnav stood at the entrance with a smile.. "How are you feeling.?." whilst..walking into the room because it didn't seem like she had any objections.

Whilst Khushi felt herself just freeze for a moment it took her a second to actually get to grip with the fact that Arnav was stood before her.

She looked up and smiled for a moment before p finding room for her hands in front of her posture over the bed covers

She was very innocent in a sweet way and maybe that's what he liked about her, she already seemed a little nervous even before he had even said anything.

It looked like Di had things sorted here..it was her thing making sure everyone was okay especially if she got an inclining that someone was in the slightest not well.

After a second he took a seat on side of the bed so he could say his piece well.

"I owe you an apology for not telling you about who I really was when we first met. I'm sorry.. It was insensitive and unfair to let you think I was someone else..but with reason."

As Arnav spoke his use of words was just what came naturally to him but it was only after a second or two did look towards Khushi a little more did he realize she was hardly making any eye contact quite the contrary she staring at the floor purposely avoiding him. Arnav paused for a second astounded really - this wasn't the Khushi he knew, he wouldn't have got in a word edge ways had this been yesterday.

But she was different all because she felt all because of his identity as her predefined husband. Tilting his head a little to see if he could make out Khushis mind from her expression that was pretty much hidden from him Arnav read her nervous eyes as well as he had made out her aspirations and worries over the two days they were together. She was nervous, embarrassed, a little scared even and of what, him?

"You know me Khushi.. I drink cups of tea, read newspapers, garden, fix things." He was trying to get her to give in and look at him and she did for a moment. When she did lift her eyes to him she saw a very relaxed expression with bright eyes and a very comforting smile it relaxed a lot of Khushi's nerves but she still conscious of her prior misunderstanding and was still embarrassed.

He didn't force her ..he simply let her be knowing that she would soon come into her own with him after accepting what was fact.

"Agar meine tume bataya ho ta ke mein kaun hoon.. (if I had told you who I was )would you have been yourself with me...?" Khushi wasn't all that good at English but she understood him.

She knew the answer to this, he was right in some ways had she known who he really was she probably wouldn't have been able to be herself a little like now.

He had literally reasoned with her for why he chose to do things the way he had and even if she did want to respond Khushi was unsure how to word herself.

She wanted to apologize for all those mistakes she had made, thinking he was hp, she wanted to know if she was welcome in his life, Khushi had lots of questions lots of insecurities she couldn't put into words.

There was something about him that made her feel at home even though she there was an initial panic when she saw him just moments ago that washed away very soon... and it was just like before.. just her and the man she believed was once house help.

He didn't speak down to her or drastically change he was the same...

Khushi watched for a moment and Arnav took note of the way she seemed to be analysing him...

After a moment of thought that could be seen on her face she said out loud what she was thinking. "Aur abh.."? (So what happens now)
- "You decide"

"Ji???..."

...

Khushi had never made such a big decision in her life, others always made the choice for her ..whether it was what school she ought to go to, where she would work , or whom her life partner would be she never had a say and today it felt strange when the man whom she had waited for all her life was so casual about her choices.

Did he not care?.. she thought at first but soon she realized that it wasn't because he didn't care for her it was because he did!. Without even realizing it Khushi had shared her deepest feelings with him over the last two days..and this was because he understood those feelings well. He gave her importance no other had ever done and for the first time all her doubts eased he was the one ..he was always the one.

Khushi thought about it a lot, her life had been so ruthless up until now but as she walked out of her room and into the garden she watched the man who watered the plants silently the man who filled the shoes of her husband' in her mind all these years .. She watched him for a little while just thinking but he soon caught her ..his eyes carrying that glow that complemented the smile he gave her.

She couldn't stare at him all day he'd think she was even more stranger than he had accounted for.

Breaking away from her thoughts Khushi walked towards the garden ..with her decision.

...

Later as Arnav strolls into the kitchen where his di looks like she is fighting to make a good job of a sweet dish Arnav per nature is very calm.

"di I would like to make things a little more official with Khushi..if you could make the arrangements then "

Anjali looked at Arnav a little curious as to if he was implying what she felt he was. Her hands were In a bowl of batter now wasn't really the time but oh well..

"Official matlab ..?? Shaadhi..?" no doubt Anjali knew that Arnav would make a choice some time soon she didn't think it would be so soon.

Her eyes expressive of her surprise before Arnav could say anything else Anjali had almost pounced on her brother with happiness forgetting that her hands were dirty by the time she let go of him he was covered in flour.

Laughing at the state of themselves.. Arnav finally decides to take himself away to clean up whilst Anjali still ecstatic tries to continue in the kitchen.

Washing her hands for a second attempt Anajli notices Khushi at the entrance of the kitchen and couldn't wait to give her a hug. Drying her hands quickly Anjali could read Khushi's eyes well she was about to tell her what she already knew.

Extremely happy for her Anajli embraces Khushi taking time to make sure Khushi is really happy with the things are and Khushi convinces Anjali of her content.

...

Next chapter

Anjali is busy making wedding preparations when Arnav points something very important out "Khushi already has a mangalsutra di.."

"I don't want anyone to forget that she has been bought up believing in this relationship I don't want to undermine all those years she has spent devoted to me even when I wasn't there.."

Her brothers sensibility was what Anajli was the most proud of but at this moment in time Anaji wondered if Khushi who had just walked in and approached the table had overheard. Arnav had left Khushi wanted to ask Anajli something else. .

"Di erm..."

"Kya hua Khushiji.."

"Woh Unki pasand na pasand..hamara matalab woh toh hame bohot kuch samaj gayey lekin hamare liyey yeah sab bohot naya hai, kisi ki patni hona .." (Di was thinking I don't really know much about his likes dislikes, I mean he's got to know me well in just a few days but.. this is all very new for me, I mean being somebody's wife in a true sense. )

"Aap bilkul bhi fikar mat kiyey.. ham aapko sab kuch shikha denge...par ek shart par.. aapko hame mithai ban ana shikhana hoga." (Don't you worry you have me! But one one condition that is ...you'll have to teach me how to make all those amazing sweets I'm so rubbish at!)
