Last Part

"I will also go with you..." she hiccuped.




Arnav laughed and wiped the tear that rolled down her cheek. " What will you do there?



"I...I will fight ..." she replied, sniffing.



Arnav laughed again. " You will fight...? If my memory serves me right, you are strong from here" he pointed at her heart. " Not from here" he circled his fingers around her wrist and gave it a shake .."Right?"



In reply she cried some more.



Arnav gathered her in his arms and rested his forehead against hers. " I will be back, I promise, Kusi..."



"You have to ..."



"Yes, I have to ..and I will .. " he sealed the promise with a kiss.

"Don't cry, Kusi please.." he wiped the tear. He stood at the door ready to leave. But his wife was not ready to let go of him.


"Aap jaldi wapas aana ..."


"I will...I promise ..."


"Bolo, Kusi ki kasam"


Arnav chuckled. "Kusi ki ka--sam ...is that alright now?" He kissed her hair. " Bye ...Take care"



Khushi nodded her head, tears still spilling out from her eyes.



"Let's go, Akash .." Arnav called his brother as he turned to leave.



Akash kissed his wife and kid and saying his goodbye, followed his brother.

Maria pulled Khushi to her and saw as both the brothers left. "Don't cry, Khushe ...bhai will be back soon...He has never lost any battle ..."



"Nazar mat lagaiye ..." She turned to glare at her jiji, her eyes still damp with tears.

Maria looked at her wide eyed. She didn't understood what she said, but it was clear Khushe was offended by what she said. " What did I say so offensive, Khushe .. "



Instead of replying, she sobbed some more.



Maria rolled her eyes. Holding her son by one arm, she held Khushi's hand and started working inside . " Are you, by any chance, pregnant?



Khushi looked at her, wiping her nose with her pink kerchief. She looked down and touched her stomach.

" Crying one second, getting angry the other second... are you also craving for something? These all happens when you are pregnant .."



Khushi looked at her stomach confusedly. "How will I know ...?"



"Did you miss your monthly cycle?" Maria asked.



Khushi frowned. " I don't remember ..."



"Uffo Khushe ...How can you not remember...try to remember ..."



"Hmmm...yes ...I missed ... "



" Really? Oh my God, Khushe..when were you going to tell me? How many months"



"Uhhh?" She looked at her clueless. "Hume nahi pata .." Khushi said irritated, tears wetting her eyes again. She just want her Arnav ji back.




"Oh my poor baby" as they reached her room, she kept Eric on the bed and gathered Khushi in a hug. "It's fine, Khushe ...bhai will be back soon...Don't be sad ...See if you are really pregnant then you have to take care of yourself...I will call the Doctor tomorrow, OK?"



Khushi nodded her head. She is really going to have a baby? She smiled. She can surprise Arnav ji with this news when he returns.



"I will surprise him with the news, jiji ..." She broke from the hug and smiled at her jiji.



Maria wiped her wet cheek. " Yes. And boy is he going to love your surprise! " Maria smiled as Khushi giggled. Now she has something to look forward to, and she won't get to see her sulking all the time.


Khushi hummed as she sat on a rocking chair in front of the fireplace, knitting a socks. She smiled as she remembered the news messenger had brought this morning. Battle is over and Arnav ji will be back soon. Her smile widened as she thought of her surprise. She looked at her stomach. It was not a noticeable bulge, but she can feel a small bulge as she caressed her stomach. She is four months pregnant. When she got to knew, she was already 2 months pregnant and now it's been 2 months since Arnav ji left.




She misses him. She misses listening to his voice, still not able to pronounce her name correctly. She giggled. She misses his magic. She looked at the bed. She misses to be held by him. His strong arms around her, holding her to him.. She simply misses him, everything about him.

Khushi heard some noise from outside and jumped to her feet. Is Arnav ji back? Giddy with excitement, she kept the woolens on the chair and ran towards the door.

Descending the stairs, she scanned the room for her Arnav ji. But he was nowhere to be seen. She looked at Maria jiji who stood near the door, Eric nestled against her chest.

"Jiji, are they back?" Khushi asked as she came and stood beside her.

"Oh...yes...I mean ...n..o .." She looked at Khushi. She had seen Akash, but now Arnav bhai.

Khushi looked out. Soldiers were back. But where is Arnav ji? "Didn't you see Arnav ji, jiji.."

Maria looked at Khushi, worried. "Khushe , I think Arnav bhai hasn't reached yet... Don't worry, he..."

But Khushi was far from listening what Maria has to see. She saw Akash coming towards her and started towards him.

"Akash bhaiya..." Khushi looked at him. " Where is Arnav ji?"



Akash took her hand and led her inside the house.




"Akash bhaiya?"



Akash looked at her and lifted his hand to cup her face. "Khushi, listen, bhai is fine... He will be back in few days..."



Khushi's heart took a pace, fear gripping her heart. " Tell me where he is...Why didn't he came with you? Everyone is back, why isn't he?"



"khushi, listen to me..."



Khushi jerked his hand away. "NO! Where is he? Why didn't you bring him with you? Why?!"



"Khushe ...baby, listen.." Maria tried to clam her. But Khushi was far from listening to anyone. She just want her Arnav ji.



"You tell me Akash bhaiya ..tell me where he is?! I want to know ...Tell me please .." She pleaded, breathless .



"Akesh, where is Arnav bhai? Tell her please ..." Maria said.



Akash shook his head. "No, Maria I can't" He has promised his brother he won't tell anything to his Kusi.



Khushi felt dizzy with fear and worry. Why isn't he telling? Is Arnav ji alright?



Khushi lifted her trembling hands to join in plea. "Please ..please tell me ..." She suddenly felt so alone. The sense of belonging evaporated like it was never there. The two people standing in front of her, she is so fond of, her family, suddenly became strangers. She needed him. She just needs him.




Maria looked at Akash, her eyes moist. "Please tell her, Akesh ..please ...Don't upset her for God sake, she is pregnant .." Maria breathed, angry at her husband's stubbornness.




Akash just stared at Maria. "What?" Akash looked at Khushi. He tried to touch her arms but she moved back.



"Don't touch me! Just tell me where my Arnav ji is!! Tell me! If you won't tell I will go and search for him" she moved past him and started towards the door.



"Khushi wait! Dammit!"



"Don't curse!" Maria blasted. She knows Arnav bhai is fine, else Akash would have been broken. Then why isn't he telling Khushi where he is?




"Shut up Maria!" He glared at Maria." I shouldn't have listened to him, and stayed back with him " he shook his head. Looking at his Son, he leaned and kissed his forehead. He had missed holding him. " I am taking Khushi to Arnav bhai" before Maria can open her mouth, he kissed her. "Bye.." with that he turned and ran after Khushi.


"Khushi!!" He caught up with her and hold her elbow.



"Leave me! I am going to search Arnav ji!"

"OK, sweetheart, I know that. Listen to me, I will take you to him, fine?"

"You will?" Khushi looked at him, hopeful.

"Yes... come ..." He took her towards the horse. Mounting the horse, he carefully pulled her up. Settling her on his lap, he looked down at her. "Hold me tight..and any discomfort, you tell me, OK? We will stop.."

Khushi nodded her head and circled her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest.

Holding her to him by one arm, he took the reign in other.

"Khushi?" Akash called after sometime.

"Hmm?" Khushi replied, the wild warm air lulling her to sleep.

"Congratulation.." he smiled and kissed her head.

"For what?" Khushi asked.

"For the baby ...You are really going to have a baby? I can't believe it..." Akash chuckled. He still remembered the girl he had seen in the dining room, scared, clueless. It felt like the event had occurred just yesterday. But no, it's been 3 years.

"Thank you. I am going to have a baby ... I am going to surprise, Arnav ji ...Akash bhaiya?"

"Yes?"

"Arnav ji is fine, na?"

"Yes, he is fine, you will see.." Akash promised.

After hours of riding, Akash stopped in front of a small house.

Khushi pulled back and looked at the house. "Is Arnav ji in there?" She asked.

Akash nodded his head. Holding her, he carefully kept her on the ground. "Yes. Go and meet him .." He looked at the soldiers standing in front of the door. "Allow her in .." Akash told them.

Khushi, without waiting for a second, sprinted towards the house. Opening the door, she entered inside. Her eyes darted towards the bed, where he was sleeping, covered with a blanket. Her breathe stopped for a second. It felt like eternity she had seen him. He had grown beards. Smiling through her tears, she ran towards the bed and sat beside him. "Arnav ji .." she touched his cheek.

Arnav heard her voice. It must be a dream, the same dream he had seen endless time in the last 2 months. But soon he felt a soft touch on his cheek. He sucked in a breath. This can't be dream, it has to be real. He blinked his eyes open, his vision unclear. "Kusi?"

"Arnav ji...You are fine, you are fine ... Why didn't you came with Akash bhaiya ...why? I was so worried..." She kept her head on his chest, and tried to hug him, but felt him go still. Worried, she pulled back and caught his face creased in pain before he managed to sooth it away. "What happened...?" She looked down at his chest. "Are you hurt, Arnav ji?" She caught the blanket to pull it down.

"Kusi, no!"

But not listening to him, she pulled the blanket away and gasped. His chest was covered with white bandages. Her eyes filled with tears. "You are hurt, Arnav ji .." she managed to say against the lump in her throat.

Arnav lifted his hand to wipe her tears. "It's nothing, Kusi... But I knew you will be worried, so I stayed back. It will heal in few days, promise..."

Khushi cupped his face, and leaned down, kissing his lips. "Is it paining?" She asked, her tears nowhere near stopping.

Arnav shook his head. "Not as much as your tears. Don't cry please ..."

Khushi wiped her tears immediately. "I won't ..I am very strong .."

Arnav's lips broke into a smile. "When I was fighting in the battle, I thought , I should have accepted your proposal and brought you with me. You would have managed to scare away few of them with your whining and tears" Arnav quipped, making her giggle.

Khushi laid down beside him and pulled the blanket up to cover them. She took his arms, and hugged it to her chest. "I missed you, Arnav ji ...very much ...Never leave me again ...I don't like anything without you ..."

Arnav kissed her hair. "I too missed you, Kusi.. very much .."

Khushi thought about her surprise and smiled. "Arnav ji, I have a surprise for you..."

Arnav tilted his head to look at her. "Surprise? What is it?"

Khushi smiled and kept his hand on her stomach.

Arnav frowned. "What? You are hungry?" How can that be a surprise.

"No.." she pressed his palm against her stomach more firmly. "Don't you feel anything? Feel it ... It's very small now ..."

Arnav frowned at her words but soon things started to sunk in and his eyes widened. "Kusi, are you ...are you pregnant?"

Khushi grinned and nodded her head. "We are going to have a baby .." she announced happily.

But she didn't get the reaction she was expecting from him. He looked at her blankly and then a worried frowned marked his face.

"You knew you were pregnant when I left you?"

Khushi shook her head. "I got to know after you left for the battle.. "

"Oh , Kusi .." he took her hand and kissed her palm. "I so regret leaving you alone...I should have been there for you..."

"But you had no choice, Arnav ji...You had to go ... And don't worry, I took care of myself and the baby ...I never cried after you left me ... Maria jiji told, if I will be sad, baby will also feel sad. But I can't help but miss you, and baby also missed you ..." she smiled.

Arnav caressed her cheek. He is going to be a father. He will soon have a baby. He don't know how to feel about it, but an unknown excitement burst inside his chest. They will have a tiny baby like Eric, but this one will be his. His and Kusi's. Kusi. He looked in her eyes. After seeing Eric, he had always wanted a little girl who looked like Khushi- a sweet face, enchanting everyone. Long black hair. Pair of warm brown eyes, not cold green ones like him. But the fear of anything happening to Kusi had always stopped him from wishing it loud.

"Aren't you happy, Arnav ji?" Khushi asked.

"I am, Kusi. I am very happy.."

"But you are also worried?"

Arnav stared at her for few seconds before nodding his head.

"Don't worry ...Nothing will happen to me ...I am ..'

"Yes, I know, you are very strong ... " he tweaked her nose, making her smile.

"Yes...And I also love you ..."

Arnav looked in her warm liquids. "I love you, too, baby .." and then kissed her.
