He raised an eyebrow at her suggestion

He looked into those eyes of hers with curiosity for a moment, mad she was but this kind of mad well that was something new for even him.

If to entertain this madness was to see her smile than so be it. Not a word but his lips answered to those awaiting eyes of hers, a kiss followed by that look of the eyes from him. "I expect the coffee to be on point tomorrow then"

He pointed out in his own way aptly leaving her for the wash room.

Bite her lip she did because she'd seen that look in his eyes before she knew what it was it made her go all weak at he knees even today. What a crazy idea this was but how it excited her she thought with a grin.

...

The next morning Khushi had no recollection of the conversation last night because that was what khushi was like. In a spur of a moment did she react and in a similar spur would she forget all about it.

In the kitchen she was that morning making breakfast alongside Anjali when she heard Arnav's voice shout down the stairs with volume.

"Ab inhe kya chahiyey" ("Now what an earth does he want?") she said tediously under her breath but loud enough for Anjali to hear and find it funny to.

Surely he knew she had a million and one things to do in the morning.

March into the room she did but for some reason was blown away by her husband this morning. He had always been handsome but today he looked that little more irresistible, he seemed to remind of when they first met today. The black she loved on him yet she tried not to make her observations to apparent.

"A little help with the tie."

He spoke as he heard her enter the room, Khushi was a little confused. It had been a long time since he'd asked something like this of her and he knew she was rubbish at this she could never get it right.

Arnav aap khud kar lijyey na hame kitna sara kam hai .. Aarav ka packed lunch aur di.. - (well I've a lot to do Arnav, Aaravs, pack lunch and di is waiting downstairs. )

She tried to explain turning away but he didn't like that or so that is what it seeme

Taking her by the wrist.

"Did I say you could leave", his tone was a little more firmer than she'd heard in days infact she hadn't heard him speak that way to her in such a long time.

Aap..she turned around and found him looking down at her with those intriguing eyes of his and they weren't the normal sugary sort they carried the Arnav Singh Raizda look Khushi thoughtt he'd lost forever now and like before did it make her heart beat rapidly and give her skin goose bumps.

Why do you look so surprised..he said as he engulfed her in his closeness and reminded her of request of him. This is what you wanted, wasn't it? Khushi took a single glance within instance did she recall their conversation. Silly her she thought..wanting to smirk a little childishly but then stopped when she could see him raise an eyebrow he played the part well she thought in her mind.

What are you waiting for Khushi? He said handing over the tie.

She felt a mix of things in this moment like a young teenager who was living her crush and the wife who's husband who had just turned back time.

He once taught her how to create the perfect knot in his tie and so now it was time to see if she recalled it but she hadn't been put on the spot like this for a long time under this version of the Raizada and It made her nervous.

He was patient looking up whilst she played with the strands of the tie, whilst this was all a little bit of a shock for her even on request he at least got to admire his pretty little wife. How strange it was to put on a persona that was once him he thought it was like dipping into himself and out of himself. it was hard to explain.

It took longer than it should have done.

"Let go.." he spoke after a little time of seeing her fuss over it and get nowhere.

I'm running out of time.. we'll pick this up in the evening "

God he was doing everything in his power to be a tease her and it worked, he had her behaving like a bride no older than a day.

She looked at him as he turned around back into the mirror for a moment, wow when she said change back she didn't think he really would. She walked off out with her blush, her heart racing and a silly grin on her face whilst he looked up into the mirror reflection with a mischievous glow in his eyes. This could be a little more interesting than anticipated.

...

What Khushi just encountered she took with her to the breakfast table, she felt like they were a pair of kids that had a secret nobody else knew about. Khushi you should ask Arnav what time he finishes work this evening and if he'll be joining us for dinner. Mentioned Anajli casually at the table as she buttered her toast not really expecting Khushi to reply the way she did.

"Nahin di , bohot sare saval na kare toh behar hota hai na.." (I rather not ask him anything right now. )

"What?" - Anjali looked a little confused but brushed it off seen as Arnav was now coming their way.

He kissed Khushi on the forehead before leaving and instead of saying something smart back she said nothing maybe because she overheard his conversation on the phone too as he said his goodbye.

"Aman make me a list of all are employees that need a little bit of a reality check .. I'm in the mood for a clear out."

Once he'd left Anjali took the opportunity to make sure everything was okay because it seemed strange.

Sab kuch theekh toh hai na Khushji? (You and Arnav are good aren't you?)

"Arnav aur aap ke beech " she asked cautiously if they had argued. Specifically if Arnav had scolded her but how was she to explain. She went a little funny on the expression and then denied anything of the sort picking up some containers and walking away from the table.

As she walked off into the privacy of the kitchen did she begin to laugh a little with a little blush on her cheeks and a signature bite into her lips thinking where her craziness had landed her.

...

That afternoon as Raizada house was particularly quiet Khushi had time to think about this morning again with that silly grin of hers and when she came across the fame of him by the phone side did her eyes glow and her smile widen once again. In all this there was something more she thought to as she took he picture of him.

Perch on the side of the sofa she did as she spoke over the phone knowing this was a good time because there was no one else around. She dialed his number aware that it would be on voicemail. She left a message, whilst looking upon the picture of him at least to begin with.

"Arnav.." she corrected herself if they were playing that game then .. "sorry hamara matlab Arnavji its just me"

"I called because, I actually had no real reason to call/

Now was the time either she end the call or say what had come to mind.

"Actually.. agar aap abhi tak woh wale Arnav Singh Raizada hai then there are some other things I'd like to ask of you. Not for myself but for your other loved ones too."

...

Next chapter:

Khushi finds herself thinking about her words carefully as she speaks over the phone. At times glancing at the photograph at other time simply looking into oblivion. With each issue her expression would change.

"Well Aarav to start off with he doesn't pay much attention to his homework these days, if you had a word with him ..like before maybe that would help but he's still a good kid he just needs a nudge."

"Erm .. Payal well Akaash really, I think Aakash has been neglecting Payal lately, I see her upset ,I know work and friends are important but if he just paid her that little more attention then that would help. He listens to you"

"And Hp does make rubbish coffee these days, infact he makes rubbish tea too I know used to be the one to protect him but .. I guess things change." She smiles a tad bit at the way things change. " Don't be too mean though!."

About to put the phone down at this time .. Khushi takes a momen to consider if this even say this but she did .

"And ..Dadi she.. . Pausing not able to find the right words.

...bas Aap samaj te hai na," she swallowed a little air for a moment to pause there she knew she didn't have to say anymore about that he would have understood her silence and her upset on the matter too.
