Love, am I not worth it ?
Chapter 38
Arnav bent down and made the man to stand up. Taking the blanket off him, Arnav looked at him. Arnav's eyes widened seeing the person standing in front of him.
The man (painfully): ASR
Arnav: You...
Neha (interrupting): You idiot. I won't leave you. How dare you enter inside our house for stealing.
The man: No, no. I didn't come to steal anything.
Neha: You... How dare you lie.
She lifted the stick to hit him. But the man ran and hid behind Arnav.
The man: ASR Please save me.
Arnav (not knowing how to react): Aman, calm down. Nothing will happen. (To Neha) Neha, please relax. He is not any thief. He is Aman.
Neha: Aman. Who Aman? And how dare he enter inside our house without permission that too sneaking like a thief.
Aman (annoyed): I'm not a thief.
Neha: Oh really. Then why were you sneaking into the house.
Aman: That is because I...
Arnav (cutting him): Aman, Neha both of you stop it. (Turning to Neha) Neha calm down. He is not a thief. He is my PA.
Neha (confused): Huh.
Arnav (understanding her confusion): He was my PA in DREAMZ.
Neha (frowning): But what is he doing here.
Arnav: He came to meet me.
Neha: Why?
Arnav (sighing): Because he is still working for me. He came here to give me details of everything that is happening in DREAMZ.
Khushi was seeing the whole scene with a confused and amused expression. First when she saw Neha hitting the man with the stick she was confused. But seeing the bickering happening between both she was amused. When Arnav called the man as Aman, realisation dawned on her.
Surely she knew the man. Even though she hasn't seen him personally, she definitely knows him. The name that her husband chants like a mantra all throughout the day from the time she has married him. Her husband's right hand man. His most trusted person. His PA.
Khushi has heard her husband say his name all throughout the day when they were together. Sometimes it used to be too much that she used to get annoyed. Even after being the head of a topmost multinational company she never used to understand her husband's habit of calling this certain person even for small things.
Neha looked at Aman with scrutinizing gaze while Aman glared back.
Khushi (coming in between them): OK guys relax. Let's go inside and talk.
Aman (glaring at Neha): ASR, who is this Miss-I-know-everything?
Arnav looked at Aman with raised eyebrows but Aman was all the time glaring at Neha. Arnav turned and looked at Khushi who was looking at both with an amused expression.
Arnav (interrupting between the glaring section): OK guys. Let me introduce. Neha, Khushi this is Aman. Aman, this is Khushi, my wife and this is Neha, Khushi's PA.
Neha: Her best friend.
Aman looking at Neha with a bored expression, then his attention diverted to Khushi. Khushi Singh Raizada. ASR's wife. The only woman who could make a place in ASR's heart. Being ASR's PA, Aman was a person who knew everything about him.
He was with Arnav from the time he has started DREAMZ. Aman was an orphan who had lost his parents at a very young age. The only relation he ever had was his Dadi. She was the one who had brought him up after he lost his parents in an accident when he was only 5 years old.
Aman was born in a middle class family. His family was not a very rich one but his grandfather had left some money that had allowed him and his grandmother to have a comfortable life. But by the time he has turned twenty almost all of his grandfather's money were used up for his studies and their other needs. Having barely anything to sustain, Aman was forced to search job.
But due to lack of experience and recommendations, it became difficult for him to find job. At that time, he met Arnav. After graduating from Harwards and working in some multinational companies including his father's, for experience, Arnav had just started his dream company DREAMZ. What attracted Aman towards Arnav was his determination to prove himself. Even after coming from such a wealthy family, Arnav's decision to start a company of his own without his family's help, was something that increased Aman's respect for him.
Flashback
Ten years before
Arnav was coming back from a meeting with a client. He was in a good mood as he was able to crack the deal which was one of the biggest deals that his newly started company got so far. He was driving his car a little fast as he had another meeting in sometime. The road was almost empty.
Aman was coming back from an interview. He was frustrated. Even after performing so well in the interview he didn't get the job. Answer is simple- the job is already reserved for the MD's relative. He is not understanding the logic behind it. If they have already decided whom they have to give the job then why are they conducting the interview just to waste time.
While driving Arnav saw a truck coming from opposite side in the wrong way. He understood that something was wrong with the truck. So to avoid an accident he tried to steer his car towards one side but the truck driver also diverted the truck towards that side. Arnav was shocked for a moment but quickly recovering from it he took a sharp turn but unfortunately the car collided with the tree on the roadside.
Aman was shocked seeing the accident that happened right in front of his eyes. He immediately ran to the car and checked. Inside he saw a man around his age in the driver's seat. He opened the door and looked inside. The man was sitting with his forehead on the steering wheel. He pulled Arnav backward. Aman saw his forehead bleeding.
Aman immediately went and brought a cab. With help of the cab driver he took Arnav to hospital. The doctors checked him and admitted him. After two hours Arnav gained conscious. All that time Aman was with him.
Arnav opened his eyes and looked around. He was confused seeing the unfamiliar surroundings. Soon all the events came back to him as a film. He understood that he was in a hospital. Seeing him awake the nurse called the doctor.
Doctor (entering inside the ward): Hello Mr...
Arnav: Arnav. Arnav Singh Raizada
Doctor (smiling): Hello Mr Raizada. I am your doctor. Dr. Raeez. So how are you feeling. Any pain or uneasiness.
Arnav: No doctor. I am fine.
Doctor: Good. (Checking the reports) So you have diabetes, right?
Arnav: Yes doctor. I have it since childhood.
Doctor: Hmmm. OK. Are you taking any medications.
Arnav: Yes (He gave the details of his treatment)
Doctor: That's good. I have checked your reports. You have a injury on your forehead. But there is nothing to worry about. There is no internal injury. You will have slight pain other than that you will be fine. You can go home once the drip is finished.
Arnav: Thank you doctor.
Doctor: No, no. Don't thank me. I have only done my duty. If you want to thank someone, then thank the person who brought you here. Look Mr Raizada you are really lucky that you are brought here on correct time. You know since you have diabetes excess blood loss would have been very fatal to your health. It was really your luck that such a generous person was there at that time. He not only brought you here but was here all this time.
(Turning to the nurse) Where is he?
Nurse: Doctor, he went to get medicine for him.
At that time Aman entered the ward with medicines.
Doctor: Ah there he is. (Turning to Arnav) Mr Raizada he is the one who saved your life.
Arnav turned and looked at Aman.
Doctor: OK then I will leave now. You guys talk.
Nurse and Doctor left Arnav and Aman alone.
Aman: Hai.
Arnav: Hai
Aman: So feeling fine?
Arnav: Yeah. Thank you for saving me.
Aman (waving his hands): Ha leave it. It is nothing. Anyone in my place would have done that.
Arnav (smiling): No. Not everyone in your place would have done that.
Aman: Hmmm. Maybe.
Arnav: I am Arnav. Arnav Singh Raizada.
Aman: Aman. Aman Mathur.
With that a new friendship started. Arnav who had very few friends till then, got a person with whom he could share anything. All though Arnav had friends earlier none of them were so close.
In the next few weeks, they got very close. They both would meet everyday. Arnav after his office hours will wait for Aman in a restaurant and Aman would reach their after his interviews. One weekend, Aman took Arnav to his house and made him meet his Dadi. They both used to have a great time together.
Seeing Aman struggling to get job, Arnav offered him to recommend a job for him in his father's company. But Aman denied him saying that he didn't want job due to recommendation as it was against his ideologies. Later, Arnav seeing Aman's hardwork and determination offered a job in his own company. Even though Aman was reluctant at first as he didn't want to misuse their friendship, he agreed due to Arnav's constant persuading.
But he convinced Arnav to give job on temporary basis and only make him permanent if he is satisfied with his work, for which Arnav agreed. But there was no need for Arnav to think twice before giving him permanent job once Aman started working with him. He was perfect in every work he did. He proved to be best man Arnav wanted in his company.
Then there was no looking back. With Arnav's business skills and Aman's management skills, DREAMZ flourished into one of the top fashion house all around the world. Aman became Arnav's most trusted man. His best friend, his Friday man, the person with who he shared all his secrets and worries. Aman was also the loyal friend that Arnav wanted. But only a few people knew about the extent of friendship that both shared whereas for others, Aman was Arnav's most loyal and trusted man. Even Arnav's family were unaware of their friendship.
Even Aman also never misused the trust and believe Arnav had on him. He always behaved as an employee in office even though Arnav never minded even if he bossed around him. But Aman never did that.
Flashback ends
Aman was brought out of his thoughts when he saw Khushi offering him juice. He looked at her. It was the first time he was meeting her in person. Even though he is Arnav's best friend he never got a chance to interact with this special woman in his best friend's life.
Aman knew everything about their past. Arnav always used to share everything with him. He had told him about how he was forced to Sheetal as his girlfriend. Even though Aman had felt angry at his sister for forcing him into an unwanted relationship, he couldn't do anything. There was a limit in which he could interfere in Arnav's life and he didn't wanted to cross that.
When Arnav fell in love with Khushi, it was with him he shared that first. He was pleasantly surprised when his friend told him about the girl he loved. He never expected Arnav to fall of a girl at first sight itself. It was a shock to know that his friend who never gave any heed to girls has fallen for a girl about whom he know nothing.
While Arnav was busy following Khushi while trying to find out more about her, it was Aman who stayed back and took care of all his work. Everyday in the evening he would happily hear when Arnav would narrate about everything that he came to know about Khushi.
He was the one who encouraged Arnav when he decided to propose her. But when they found about her age and Arnav decided to back down, he supported his friend. He knew that Arnav was sad loosing Khushi. He stood by Arnav in his bad time.
After two years when Arnav's marriage was fixed, Aman supported him then also. But to Arnav's luck the girl turned out to be Khushi itself. In the mandap when they saw Khushi, alongwith Arnav Aman was also happy seeing his friend get his love. He prayed to God to keep them happy.
But destiny or rather say some selfish people played their game and they were separated again. But this time, Arnav was inconsolable. Aman had to helplessly see his friend breaking down. Even after trying a lot he couldn't do anything to reduce his friend's pain.
But now seeing Arnav getting his family back there wouldn't be any person who would be more happier than him. He just wanted Arnav to be happy with his family. The great ASR, his ASR to be happy with his family and back to his throne in DREAMZ. Aman was ready to sacrifice anything for that.
Khushi looked at the man sitting in front of her. Her husband's best friend and his right hand man. She was one of the few people who knew what relationship both shared. Arnav had told her everything about Aman, their first meeting, their friendship, his loyalty everything. Khushi respected Aman for that. For being with her husband in every thick and thin.
It was true that they never met personally. When they have surely met in some occasions. But all of them were in some parties or get togethers where Aman used to play Arnav's right hand's part. They never interacted otherwise. Well once they have, but it was an incident Khushi didn't want to remember. She still feels embarrassed remembering that.
Arnav saw Khushi looking at Aman. He could understand what she was thinking about. He chuckled remembering the incident. Khushi turned and looked at him. Both knew the other was thinking about the incident in which Khushi interacted with Aman for first time and the memories related to it.
Flashback
4 years ago
It had been three weeks to Arnav-Khushi's marriage. Due to Arnav's heavy work schedule they couldn't go for their honeymoon. So finally after three weeks, somehow taking a break from his office, he decided to take Khushi for their honeymoon.
Their life till then was going smoothly. Apart from Sheetal and Anjali's antics to get Arnav close to Sheetal, they were happy. They were knowing more about each other. Nights were always filled with passion and desire.
Arnav never thought that he could love and desire for any woman so much. But Khushi was an exception. The more he had her, the more he wanted her. Khushi also loved the attention Arnav showered on her. Even in his busy schedule there were few moments that he spent for her.
Maybe going out for lunch, or a dinner, or just a drive around the city. It was small small moments they enjoyed. There were knowing each other more and more and were getting comfortable with each other.
Finally after three weeks of marriage they were going for honeymoon. Dhruv and Shreya had gone for their honeymoon earlier to Bali. Arnav had not planned for the honeymoon earlier as he wasn't interested in it. But after knowing that Khushi was his bride, he desperately wanted to spend time with her, so he planned this honeymoon.
The destination was a surprise for Khushi. Even after asking for many times, Arnav denied to tell anyone the destination. Sheetal and Anjali tried to know the destination so that they could spoil their honeymoon. Arnav on knowing their intention tricked them in believing that they were also going to Bali like Dhruv and Shreya.
But the destination was unknown to everyone. Till the time they reached there, even Khushi didn't came to know where they were going as Arnav had took her to the place in his private jet. Khushi was pouting the whole time of their journey.
She was annoyed at Arnav for keeping it away from her. Arnav laughed at her antics and tried to get naughty with her. But Khushi discouraged all his attempts. But still Arnav refused to tell her the destination.
Reaching their destination, she was pleasantly surprised seeing the beautiful city. The city of love. Paris. It was her dream to come here for her honeymoon. Arnav chuckled seeing her surprised cute face. He knew that it was her dream to come here for honeymoon.
It was one of the few things that he had managed to find out about her during the time he was stalking her. She was sitting in a restaurant with her friends happily chatting. When suddenly the topic changed to marriage. Since all her friends were elder than her, they were discussing about their boyfriends, future plans and marriage.
Khushi being young and innocent had nothing to talk as she hadn't thought about all those things. Arnav felt happy knowing that Khushi wasn't involved with anyone nor she had any boyfriend. Suddenly her friends turned to her and started asking about her dreams about her married life.
She was confused thinking about all these as she never thought these things. But when they asked about her favorite place where she would want to go with her husband, she innocently replied that she liked Paris and would want to go there one day with her Prince Charming. But the fact that she didn't know was her Prince Charming who would one day fulfill all her dreams was sitting on the table next to her and was keenly listening to all her fantasies about her would be husband and married life.
Arnav was lost in thoughts of the moment when he found out about her dreams about married life. Khushi on noticing that he was not responding to her blabbering about how much she liked his surprise, turned to him. Seeing him lost she came to him and shook him. Arnav was jerked out of his thoughts by that.
Khushi: Arnavji, where are you lost.
Arnav: Nothing sweetheart, I was thinking something. So tell me what were you saying.
Khushi (smiling widely): I was saying that I loved your surprise. It is awesome. You know what it was my dream to come here for honeymoon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much Arnavji for fulfilling my dream.
Khushi started jumping up and down holding his hands expressing her happiness. Arnav shook his head seeing his crazy, cute, little wife's antics. Arnav pulled her closer by her waist.
Arnav (smiling naughtily): So if you liked the place, then can we go to our hotel now. You know honeymoon is not just about seeing the place, it includes something else also. If you are OK then we can go and spend some time in those things also.
Saying that Arnav winked at her. Khushi was shocked hearing her husband's shameless talks. Her face formed the perfect three 'O's. Arnav chuckled seeing her. Khushi made an annoyed face and hit him lightly on his chest.
Khushi: Have some shame. We are on public. What will others think hearing your talk.
Arnav: Let them think whatever they want. I don't care. I am talking to my legally wedded wife. I have all rights to talk and do anything with you. "Wink"
Khushi (annoyed): Arnavjiii...
Arnav laughed at that and pulled her closer holding her shoulder. Khushi came crashing onto his chest. Putting a protective arm around her, he led her out of the airport and into the cab which was waiting for them.
Soon they reached hotel. Due to tiredness and jet lag, both of them slept soon after freshening up and having some food.
Next few days were pure bliss for Arnav and Khushi. They were enjoying with each other to the fullest. Khushi's lively and innocent nature and Arnav's protective, possessive yet naughty nature was adding color to their pair. They were happy with each other. With each passing minute, both were falling in love with each other more and more. Even though they didn't confessed it openly. Both of them knew that the other loved them immensely.
They went to sightseeing, walks, shopping, etc. They also indirectly confessed their love for each other by locking a padlock in the Pair's most famous padlock bridge.
Well apart from that most of the time, they would be in their hotel room loving each other. They never felt tired of loving each other. All their love making would be soft, sweet, passionate and loving. They never hurt each other.
Arnav always tried to do one or other things for her happiness. He was slowly fulfilling her fantasies without showing that he is aware of what she wants. They were always happy with each other. Even a small gesture of love from the other were enough for them to feel special and loved.
But the only problem during their honeymoon was the constant calls Arnav gets from office. Everytime they would be spending some quality time with each other, a call would come interrupting their moments. Initially they used to enjoy it. But later on they started getting annoyed.
Arnav would often shout at the person. Earlier Khushi used to find it funny. Even she used to get amused seeing her husband's annoyed and frustrated face. But later on even she started getting annoyed.
The constant calls during their love making had started annoying him. Everytime they used to get intimate, a call would come from one or another person and that used to frustrate both of them. They would be left unsatisfied. Arnav had to attend the calls everytime it comes and then he had to leave her to finish the work. It had started to irk both of them.
In one side, if Arshi were enjoying with each other, then on other side, Sheetal was suffering in Bali. After knowing that Arnav and Khushi were going to Bali, Anjali, Shreya and Sheetal planned to send Sheetal to Bali to not allow them to get closer and make Sheetal more close to Arnav making Khushi believe that Arnav took Sheetal also to Bali as he loved her.
But after reaching Bali, Sheetal got into trouble as she didn't get any information about Arnav and Khushi's whereabouts. Moreover her purse with money and phone were also stolen. Since she didn't have money she couldn't pay her hotel rent nor she had money to buy food. Also she couldn't call anybody without food. Finally seeing no means to live there, she returned back to India.
It was almost one week of their honeymoon. They had come for a two week honeymoon. Almost half the time was finished and they were enjoying their time apart from the constant annoying calls.
It was evening. Both Arnav and Khushi were getting ready to go to a party organized in a nearby club for honeymoon couples. Since Paris was a famous honeymoon destination, such parties are often seen in clubs and hotels.
Arnav was as usual in his well stitched three piece Armani suit looking like a Greek God. After getting ready he was waiting for Khushi in the living room of their honeymoon suite. After few minutes the door of the bedroom opened.
Seeing her his breath hitched. She was standing there in a beautiful evening gown of his favourite colour red with very light makeup and her waist length silky hair left open. Seeing her Arnav felt his blood rushing towards south.
Khushi blushed seeing his intense gaze fixed on her. She gulped seeing the raw passion and desire swimming in his chocolate brown pools. Arnav started coming near her with calculative steps making Khushi feel weak in her legs.
As he came forward, Khushi started taking the steps backwards. Finally hitting her back on the wall she stopped. She closed her eyes feeling shy. Arnav came near and caged her in between his arms and walls.
Khushi started breathing heavily feeling his close proximity. Arnav smirked seeing his effect on her. He came forward making his broad muscular chest brush against her heaving breast. He brought his face forward and slowly rubbed his stumble against her soft cheeks sensuously.
His lips softly trailed kisses from her ears to her cheeks, jaw line and neck. A moan escaped her lips feeling his hot lips on her skin. Cupping her cheeks softly, he traced his thumb along her soft, plump lips. She parted her lips feeling him.
Not wasting more time, he took her lips in slow, passionate kiss. Few seconds later she also started participating in it. Pulling him closer wrapping her hands around his nape, she kissed him back. Soon the slow kiss turned passionate and wild. Both were kissing each other vigorously. Their lips sucked, nipped and tasted each and every corner of each other's mouth.
Few minutes later both pulled away due to lack of oxygen. They started breathing heavily. Arnav started prepping kisses on her skin not wanting to part away from her. He pulled her closer.
Soon they started kissing each other again. While kissing they didn't realize when they both reached the couch. Arnav laid her down on the couch hovering over her, still kissing her. Few minutes later Khushi felt his hands on the zipper of her dress trying to pull it open. That brought her back to reality. She snapped her eyes open and slightly pushed him making some distance.
Arnav who was still lost in her, gave a frustrated growl feeling her push. He tried to hold her closer.
Arnav (annoyed voice): Khushi...
Arnav tried to hold her again.
Khushi (still pushing him away): Arnavji, leave me. Remember we have to go to the party.
Arnav (stubbornly): No I don't want to go. I want to be here with you.
Khushi (pleading): Arnavji, Please...
Arnav moved away hearing her pleading voice. He sighed seeing her looking at him with her innocent pleading puppy dog face.
Arnav: Gosh. Khushi. Don't make that face. (Sighing loudly) Fine, we will go.
Khushi smiled widely hearing that.
Khushi (kissing him on cheek): Thank you Arnavji. You are the best.
Arnav smiled at her happy face.
Arnav (naughtily): Fine we will go now. But don't forget once we are back, nobody will be able to save you from me. I will take revenge from you (coming closer to her ears) with interest.
Khushi wounded her hands around his neck and pulled him closer.
Khushi (with mischievous eyes): I would love to have that punishment.
Arnav raised his eyebrows hearing the bold words from his otherwise shy wife. Khushi shied away seeing his teasing smirk. She buried her face in his chest feeling shy. Arnav pulled her closer chuckling.
After making themselves presentable, both went for the party. The party was on its full swing went they reached there. There were many couples there like them. Some were dancing, chatting, some were playing games for the couples.
They also started participating in some games. In most of them they won. The games were designed for making the couples know more about each other and give them a sense of companionship.
After that they went towards the dance floor. A slow sensuous romantic number was playing. They started swaying with each other slowly. Arnav pulled Khushi towards him more. With each passing minute their need and passion for each other was increasing.
Both were lost in each other. They just wanted each other. Finally not able to take his need anymore, Arnav pulled her with him and went back to their cab to go back to their hotel. Reaching the hotel, both went to their room immediately.
As soon as they entered inside the hotel room, Arnav started kissing her. Khushi pulled him closer not wanting to stay away from him. They didn't realize when they entered the bedroom. Falling on the bed, Arnav was kissing all over her face.
He once again took her lips for a slow kiss. Breaking the kiss he started trailing kisses down her neck. He pulled the zipper of her dress and threw it away. He once again started kissing her. Getting up from her, he got rid of his clothes and joined her on the bed. Soon both were void of any clothes and were kissing each other.
Khushi was moaning all the time feeling his hot lips on her skin. Arnav was worshipping her whole body. Finally not able to take the passion anymore, Arnav laid on her and once again kissed her asking for her permission to go further. Khushi smiled seeing her husband's this nature of asking her everytime before making love to her.
She pulled him closer giving him permission. But before he could proceed further, both heard the sound of phone ringing. Khushi and Arnav looked at each other. One with anger and another with apology. Arnav was also angry. Whoever was on the other side should better be ready for a tremendous blast from the ASR himself.
Arnav got up and went to take the phone. He took the phone and switch it on. But before he could blast the person the phone was snatched away from his hands. A "What the" escaped his lips. Turning around he saw Khushi standing there with angry blazing eyes. It was the first time he was seeing her angry.
Well he cute frustrated angry face kind of amused him rather than scaring him. But before he could react or say something. She took the phone to hear ears.
Khushi (on phone, rudely): You idiot, are you out of your senses. Don't you know when to call a person and when not to. Is this the time to call someone. Don't you have any other work. Always calling him for some or other work. Can't you do the work on your own. Why do you want him to babysit you all the time. Are you such a big dumb. You stupid, idiot monkey. If you can't do your work on your own, then go and climb some tree. Because monkeys like you are good for that. Don't disturb him again. If I see you calling him again till he came back then I will make your life a living hell. I will come with zoo people and make them take you to zoo where your fellow monkeys live. That will be the best place for you. Then you will learn a lesson. You idiot, stupid, fool monkey. Now keep the phone.
Saying that Khushi cut the call angrily and threw the phone away which landed on the sofa.
On the other side, Aman was looking at the phone with a horror-struck face. He recalled her threat. He imagined zoo people coming and taking him to live with monkey. He started screaming imagining himself between monkeys. He looked at the phone and threw it away.
Aman (scared): No no. I won't call ASR till he comes back. I am not an idiot. I will do all the work on my own. I won't call ASR. I am not a monkey. I don't want to go to zoo to live with monkeys.
On the other side, Arnav was laughing loudly clutching his stomach, hearing Khushi's threat rolling on floor. Khushi looked at him with an annoyed face.
Khushi (angry): What?
Arnav: Seriously you will send him to zoo to live with other monkeys. That was so hilarious. You know what you are so funny.
Khushi (irritated): Arnavjiii !!!!!!
Arnav controlled his laugh and came near her.
Arnav (teasingly): So my innocent wife also knows to get angry, Haan.
Khushi pouted hearing his teasing. She looked away feeling embarrassed. Few minutes later, when silence prevailed in the room, Khushi frowned. She looked at Arnav. He was looking at her with an intense gaze.
At that time only Khushi became conscious of her state. In her anger, she got up from the bed without wearing clothes. Now she was standing stark naked in front of her husband who was looking at her with all desire and passion.
Realising her situation, Khushi screamed. She immediately hugged Arnav to hide her shyness. Well that only made the situation worse. On feeling her soft body pressed against his hard one, Arnav felt some part of his body getting hard. Not being able to take the torchure anymore, he scooped her in his arms and took her to bed to finish what he had started earlier. The day then turned out into one of the most day in the love life of these two star crossed lovers.
Flashback ends
Khushi and Arnav were brought out of their thoughts by the bickering of Aman and Neha. They looked at each other. Arnav was smirking while Khushi looked away blushing. Arnav had always teased her saying about that incident. That night after making love till they both felt tired to even move a muscle, Arnav had pulled her closer and had said everything about him and Aman.
How they met, how they became friends, their working together, their unique bonding everything. After knowing everything Khushi felt immense gratitude and respect for Aman. She also felt guilty for talking to Aman rudely. She wanted to apologize to him but Arnav waved the idea away telling that Aman won't take it seriously. But she still felt a little embarrassed thinking about her wanton like behavior that night.
Coming out of their thoughts, Arnav and Khushi saw Neha and Aman still arguing over something. They shook their head seeing their friend's childish behavior.
Arnav (interrupting them): Guys guys please stop it.
Aman and Neha looked at him. Aman then noticed Khushi looking at him.
Aman (smiling): Hai Bhabhi, so we finally meet. I have heard a lot about you from ASR.
Khushi (smiling mischievously): Hope everything good only.
Aman (chuckling): Of course.
Khushi: Well Amanji I am really happy that I could you.
Aman: Same here Bhabhi. I have heard so much about you from ASR that I always wanted to meet you.
Arnav and Neha looked at Aman and Khushi who were talking to each other forgetting their presence.Few minutes later Aman and Khushi looked at them who were sitting there with grumpy face.
Khushi gave Arnav a smile to which he melted while Neha and Aman were glaring each other.
Aman (turning to Khushi): Bhabhi, can I ask you something?
Khushi (smiling): Yeah sure.
Aman: Bhabhi, from where did you get such idiotic friend who can't differentiate between a well dressed executive looking man and a thief.
Khushi raised her eyebrows hearing his question. Arnav was smiling seeing Aman's childishness. But Neha was looking at him with daggers in her eyes.
Neha (fuming): You.. How dare you say something like that.
With that Neha started chasing him. Both Aman and Neha were running around the room like kids. Arnav and Khushi were amused seeing their behavior. After few minutes of cat and mouse game, both came and sat on their seats exhausted.
Aman spend some more time there talking and chitchatting with them. After that he returned home after promising to keep them updated of the things happening in DREAMZ.
Few days later
Ponies had started going to school, they liked their new school very much. Everything was going perfectly. Arnav was still working as Khushi's PA. Even though Khushi offered him a post equal to her, Arnav refused it saying that he wanted to work under her and know more about how to manage everything more efficiently.
He didn't want to repeat his same mistake. Earlier he never had time for her and their relation as he was always busy in his work. Now he didn't want to repeat it. He wanted to spend time with her and their kids. For that he had to learn many things how to coordinate everything and not spend unnecessary time in unnecessary things.
He didn't want to disappoint her or their kids due to his negligence. So he decided to work under her and learn more about all these things and gain more experience so that when he get his company back he won't be repeating his mistakes. Even though Khushi was initially reluctant about the idea of him still working under her. She agreed after listening to his point of view and promised to support him in his every decision.
Arnav was sitting in his cabin doing his work when Khushi called him to her cabin to discuss something. Entering inside the cabin he saw her waiting for him thinking something.
Arnav (sitting down): Khushi...
Khushi came out of her thoughts and smiled at him.
Khushi: Arnavji, I have called you here to discuss about something important. You know next month, it's Ponies's third birthday. So I have decided to throw a grand party for them. What do you say?
Arnav: What's there to say in this, Khushi. Of course we are going to throw a very big party for our babies. They are our babies. They deserve everything the best. Also I want to make this birthday memorable for them as it will be their first birthday when I will be with them.
Khushi (feeling guilty, with moist eyes): Arnavji...
Arnav stood up and went near her. Kneeling in front of her chair, he held her hand.
Arnav (wiping her tears): Hey hey hey, I didn't say it to make you guilty. Trust me Khushi I am not angry with you. It was just the circumstances because of which you and our babies were away from me. It's OK. I am angry or upset with you. It's OK.
Arnav (diverting the topic): Now stop crying and tell me what you have planned. I will make every arrangements. I want it to be the best birthday of our babies.
Khushi (composing herself and with a soft smile): So Arnavji I have decided that we will throw a very big party. We will call everyone and introduce them to our kids. Also it will be a perfect opportunity to tell everyone that we are back together and everything is fine between us.
Arnavji, the party should be really big. Every small big everyone should be invited. It will be the first time our babies will be celebrating their birthday with their whole family. Also it would be their first birthday after they have gained understanding. Last two times, they were very small to understand the meaning of birthday. Now they can understand everything. I want the party to be memorable for them.
Arnav: OK Khushi you don't worry I will make all the arrangements and everything will be the best as our babies deserve best.
Khushi: I know Arnavji you will make it the best for our babies. I trust you.
Arnav smiled hearing that. After that both started discussing about the arrangements and other things.
Precap: One more new entry and a twist.
So here is the next chapter. I hope I didn't disappoint anybody. This chapter was lengthy. I had typed only half of it till last week. But since many of the readers requested me to update it. I wrote this chapter. That's why I couldn't update my other story. Now I will be writing that for few days. I will try to update this story in between. But it will take sometime as the chapters are lengthy. So please understand.
This chapter is about Arnav-Aman and Arnav-Khushi's relationship. In the serial also, Aman was an important character. But there was neither a face nor a proper screen space for him. So I decided to include him in my story. Hope you like it.
Also this chapter is about Arnav-Khushi's marriage and relationship. They had an arranged love marriage. Even though both loved each other they never expressed it openly nor confessed but their love was expressed through actions. I wanted to highlight their early relationship which was an arranged marriage where love was hidden. I felt that I haven't shown their happily married life before the problems entered their life. So this chapter was dedicated for that.
Also please comment. Your comments encourage me. So please comment.
