Next day (Sunday) Arnav fulfilled his wish of staying in the bed whole day. They had breakfast and lunch in bed and made love twice. Arnav wanted to spend the rest of the day like this but Khushi put her foot down, around 5 in the evening, and threaten him that she will not let him even kiss her if he doesn't get out of bed and take her out. Arnav didn't have any choice after that and he went to washroom.
He came out wearing dark jeans and checkered shirt. His eyes went to Khushi who was wearing black jeans, white tunic. She was just putting on the purple coat he had bought for her.
Khushi looked up at him as he came near. She smiles shyly seeing his eyes admiring her. He smiles back as he picked his black peacoat and wears it.
"So where we are going?", asked Arnav.
"London Eye", replied Khushi instantly. And then picked up the 2 brochure she got yesterday, "We have 15 attractions here, but for today I just want to go to London eye and then we can eat out. We can see the other locations in the next days. What you think?".
Arnav shrugged, "Whatever you want is fine by me".
"Arnavji, it's your honeymoon too you know", said Khushi putting her hands over her hips.
"Which I would like to spend more of it inside rather than outside", he gives a wink to her.
Khushi shakes her head, "Not happening".
"I know, so let's just do whatever you want, I don't have any issue ok.", said Arnav as he held her hand.
"Ok", Khushi squeezes his hand and they went out.
Arnav watched Khushi's excited face as their cart move upwards. He smiles seeing her beaming face. Khushi pointed out things to him but his focus was more on her. Khushi turns to him, who was standing to her side and one step behind, she swatted his shoulder, "Where are you lost?".
"In you", came his instant reply and he smirked seeing her blush.
"Arnavji ... at least look at the view below, it's so beautiful and thrilling", said Khushi.
"My view is more beautiful", said Arnav and Khushi shakes her head.
"Ok at least take our pic na", said Khushi and Arnav took out his cell phone. He extended his hand a bit upward as Khushi leaned back on him, they took selfies.
Khushi turned her head and give a kiss on his cheek. Arnav got surprised as usually she doesn't like to do these things with people around. Khushi went back to viewing the scenery.
"Khushi at least do it properly", said Arnav over her ears as he snakes his hand around her waist.
"Arnavji, no ...", Khushi protested but Arnav turn her in a quick move and place his lips on hers. To her relief he kept it short and soft.
"It's red", said Arnav flicking her nose.
Khushi look around and found everyone on their cart occupy with taking photos.
"Relax Khushi, you know I won't do something which makes you uncomfortable", said Arnav and Khushi relax back.
When the cart reached the top, it stopped for 2 minute duration. Arnav wound his arms around her and Khushi lean back on him, looking ahead at the scenery.
After getting down from their cart they just went ahead, no particular destination in mind. Khushi just wanted to roam the streets with him. After half hour of walking they got hot dogs from the food vender and enjoyed their meal while talking about their surroundings.
They reached back to hotel around 9pm. Arnav asked Khushi if she wanted to eat something for dinner. They had eaten few things along with their walk around London so Khushi wasn't much hungry but asked Arnav if they can get some dessert as she was craving something sweet.
Arnav called the room service and asked for dessert, while Khushi went to washroom to change into her night clothes.
After some time ... Arnav came out of washroom after freshening up and changed into his night clothes. He saw Khushi sitting in a sofa chair, at the small balcony that can only occupy 2 persons, and was eating the chocolate cake piece that he had ordered.
Now she wasn't making any moaning sound or licking her spoon in seductive way to tease him, just like she did on their flight ... but still Arnav felt the desire shot through him ... only looking at her expressions of pure joy and satisfaction.
"Khushi can I have a bite?", he asked as he move to her side and sit on the bed.
Khushi stood up and went to him and extended the plate to him. He took one bite and was going for another when Khushi snatched the spoon from his finger, "Arnavji it's full of sugar".
"One more please", said Arnav in an innocent way that melted her heart. He anyway didn't get to eat sugary things much due to his diabetes and she deeply feels for him for that as she love sweet things very much.
"Ok", Khushi sit beside him, "2 more bites only", she extended the spoon and he ate the bite and then she ate one. Before Khushi could tore another piece for him Arnav took plate from her.
Khushi thought he wanted to eat himself but he has another plans. He put the plate on bed far from them and grabs Khushi's arm from other hand at the same time and pulls her to him.
Khushi opened her mouth to say when he crushed his lips with her, expertly opening them and plunging his tongue in her mouth. Khushi clutched his shoulders as he laid her back on the bed without breaking their kiss.
Arnav break the kiss only when they needed much oxygen, "Now ... that's ... more sweet", said Arnav between his pants of breaths. Khushi swatted his chest, "now let me up, I was to finish my cake".
"Sure", said Arnav as he moves back. If Khushi thought he will let her eat the cake and torture himself on controlling his desire for her then she was wrong.
Before Khushi could do something, in one sweep move Arnav removes her shirt, baring her soft breasts to his eyes. He loves it that she doesn't wear a bra to bed.
"Arnavjiii ...", Khushi squealed and put her arm across her breasts, "What are you ...", she couldn't complete her sentence as Arnav pull her close and tug her hair, tilting her head back. Her neck was on display for him. With other hand he swipes the chocolate cream off the cake and smear it on her neck and then licked it.
"Arnavv ...", Khushi moaned.
"Now that's how we eat the cake", said Arnav devilishly. Khushi wanted to protest but soon all the words left her mind when Arnav smeared the cream on her stiff nipples and suck, lick and bite them.
Soon the remaining cake was finished in that way ... smeared on each other's body and licked off.
--------------------------------------------------------
Next day (Monday) Khushi was again waken up by Arnav's kisses. She tried to push him away, but his hands roam under her shirt.
"Wakey wake", said Arnav, "If you don't want to get tickle".
Khushi turned to face him, "That's not fair Arnavji".
"All is fair in love and war sweat heart", said Arnav as he nipped her ear.
"uff, move away, you are sticky", said Khushi as she pushed his chest.
"And I got perfect solution for it", said Arnav excitedly and picked her up.
"Arnavjii ...", Khushi squealed as the comforter move away from her bare body.
"Arnavji? I perfectly remember it was Arnav last night", said Arnav wickedly as he move inside washroom.
And they didn't come out before an hour.
"Khushi, I am fine, really", said Arnav as he put on his socks.
"Arnavji, you had so much sugar intake yesterday night and upon that you distracted me and I couldn't stop you", said Khushi pointing a finger at him.
Arnav smirk devilishly, remembering how he had distracted Khushi.
"Oh no, don't give me that look. We are going to see a doctor now. I had the address of nearest clinic here", said Khushi as she waved a piece of paper in her hand.
"Khushi there is no need, I had my medicine after breakfast", said Arnav as he stood up from bed.
"Arnavji, please for my satisfaction", said Khushi as she moves close to him, "Or else I will be worried about your health all day".
Arnav sighed seeing her worried expression, "Ok baba, let's go". Khushi smile up at him and they went out after few minutes.
They went to the nearest clinic and Arnav was checked for his sugar and blood pressure.
"Well Mr. Raizada your sugar is slightly high but blood pressure is normal", said doctor after reading the numbers on the device.
Khushi instantly got worried and Arnav held her hand, "Its ok Khushi".
"What ok? Your sugar is high", said Khushi in scolding tone.
"Slightly high Mrs. Raizada", said the doctor as he told them the reading numbers, "Nothing to worry about. It's very common for sugar to get low and high. Just keep taking your medicine and don't skip meals and everything will be fine", assured the doctor.
"See, now satisfied?", said Arnav and Khushi pressed her lips and look at the doctor, "Any other diet or precautions we need to take?".
Doctor shakes his head, "Just don't eat sugary things regularly, keep the gap and don't skip medicines".
"Thank you doctor", said Arnav as he stood up and tug Khushi who also thanked the doctor. They went out of clinic and Khushi was still worried.
"Oh come on Khushi, you heard what the doctor said, I am fine", said Arnav as he catch up to her fast speed.
Khushi turned to him, "Your sugar is high".
"Only by 4 points", Arnav replied instantly and Khushi give him an angry look, "Its still high".
"Slightly high", said Arnav quickly.
"Arrghh", Khushi wave her hand in the air and move ahead. Arnav grabs her arm and pull her close, "Hey". Khushi averted her face but Arnav cup her chin and make her look at him.
"I am fine Khushi. Nothing will happen to me ok", said Arnav in assuring tone.
"You know how I feel regarding your health", said Khushi softly.
"Perfectly fit and fine, standing with you", said Arnav as he lean his forehead over hers.
"You will not eat any dessert today ok, no chocolate and no juice either", said Khushi in serious.
"Ok baba, whatever you say", said Arnav as he move back, "Now come on smile. Where you want to go?".
"I didn't take the brochures with me today", said Khushi pouted.
"No problem", said Arnav as he took out his cell phone and open Google.
They search for places to see and then decided on 4 places and the first one was the ever famous The Buckingham Palace. They spent an hour there, looking around and watching the parade. Then they walk through the St. James Park, taking in the scenery and took selfies and pictures of each other.
After getting out on the other end of the park, they head towards St. James Palace. A guide at the front was telling a bunch tourist that a portion of Johnny Depp famous movie Pirates of the Caribbean was shot here, the scenes where he was supposed to be hang and escaped. Khushi was fascinated and wanted to see the place so they went inside and spend an hour there, touring the place.
There next stop was The National Gallery of London. Arnav was not into paintings and history so they spend only half hour there and went ahead to Leicester Square. Now that was the place to hang out, which was buzzing with activity.
Arnav told Khushi that place is known as the beating heart of British Cinema, with all the major European premieres happening here, many movie star visit this place and one can see a crowd of fans cheering them. They move ahead reaching the middle of the square where they sit on one of the bunches, overlooking statues of Shakespeare, Hogarth, Charlie Chaplin and the founder of scientific surgery', John hunter. Arnav told Khushi about the statues and about theaters around this place.
They had late lunch around 4.30pm at a Chinese Restaurant. After that they check out different shops and surroundings. There was musical theater and Khushi wanted to watch one of the shows so they booked the tickets for tomorrow. They did some shopping and then went back to their hotel to freshen up and to rest for some time.
Around 8.30pm Khushi got ready in the red sweater dress with black belt, which Arnav had bought for her. And Arnav wore light grey high-neck shirt, dark jeans and charcoal peacoat ... which Khushi had bought for him. They had planned to have dinner out.
"You look beautiful", said Arnav as he pull Khushi close ... his eyes admiring her.
"And you look mighty handsome", said Khushi as she runs her hand over his chest.
"mmm", Arnav nuzzles her hair, "Lets stay here ... we can do other important things".
"Oh no", said Khushi as she push him a little, "I know what those important things are".
Arnav smirk at her but Khushi give him a stern look, "We planned for going out, so we will go out. You have already done those important things' in the morning", said Khushi.
"And I love those things ... especially the ones which make you moan my name", said Arnav huskily.
"Arnavji ...", said Khushi a bit embarrassed and push him away and move out of bedroom
"You know before this trip end, I will make you drop that ji", said Arnav as he followed her.
"I like calling you Arnavji", said Khushi turning to him.
"But I like it more when you call me simply Arnav", said Arnav.
Khushi look at him for a second or two and then takes his hand, "Ok Arnav, lets go for our dinner".
Arnav raise his eyebrow at her but didn't say anything and followed her out of their room.
They went to The Ledbury, London's top and famous French restaurant. The surrounding was elite and luxurious. They had 4 course meal of pure French cuisine.
After dinner, they went for stroll around that are and reach back to their hotel around midnight. They were so tired that they just shed their clothes and went into bed and were soon asleep cuddled together.
--------------------------------------------------------
Next day (Tuesday) Khushi was yet again waken up by Arnav's kisses. But this time she didn't let him succeed in his seduction and jump out of the bed. She didn't want to miss her musical play which will start at 11am.
"Its 7am Khushi, we have plenty of time", said Arnav as he move close to her but she move around the bed and move towards washroom.
"No, I know you", she pointed a finger at him, "Once you start, its ... um .. hard to stop you", she blush deep red.
"Don't tell me you don't enjoy that", his gaze was challenging.
"That's ... that not the point", Khushi blushed more, "I am sure we will get late and I want to have breakfast there as well ... now come on ... get ready".
"I am not going to", said Arnav as he lay back on the bed.
"Come on Arnavji", said Khushi giving him her innocent puppy looks, "We will come back here in evening and will also have dinner here and then do whatever you want ok?".
"Whatever I want hmmm", said Arnav as he sit up and look at her intensely
"Yes", said Khushi as she fidgeted on her toes, "Now come on, we have to get ready".
"Ok mam", said Arnav as he jumped out from bed and pick Khushi up in his arms.
"Arnavji ...", she swatted his shoulder, "We agreed not to do that".
"Yeah, but we didn't agree on not having shower together", said Arnav wickedly and Khushi pouted in response, "Arnavji, please no ... we will get late na".
"I promise we won't ok", said Arnav as he make her stand in the shower stall and open the tap. They were only in their under garments and Khushi was all wet in no time. Arnav had a hard time controlling his desire but he kept to his word and they shower quickly together.
Half hour later they went out of hotel and headed towards Leicester Square, Khushi was already in love with that place. They went to Muriel's Kitchen for breakfast, which serves the variety of local British food. They had full English breakfast of scrambled eggs, British streaky bacon, bake tomatoes, Cumberland sausages, Portobello mushroom and bakes beans with toasted bread. It was the tastiest English breakfast Khushi had eaten and she enjoyed the full plate.
After breakfast they walked to the theater and went inside. The show started right at 11am. Arnav thought he would get bore but to his surprise he actually enjoyed the 1 hour show, where the actors told the story through dance and singing.
After that they went to The British Museum, the must go to place if you visit London. Arnav again thought he will get bore there but it was nothing like the National Gallery.
It's the world's first ever national public museum with more than 8 million artifacts spanning 2 million years of history. Highlights include the ancient Egyptian Rosetta Stone, the Benin Bronzes and classical Greek sculptures from the Parthenon in Athens. They spend 2 hours there.
Next they went to Covent Garden, another famous place of London fill with various kinds of shops, theater, restaurants, bars, history and culture. They next 2 hours there, roaming around, checking shops out and then had lunch of delicious pizza, cheesy sticks, and pasta salad.
They reached back to their hotel around 7pm. Khushi went to freshen and changed into her night clothes, as they won't be going out now. She went out and told Arnav that he can use it now, who was lying on the bed. Khushi went out of room and messaged Anjali, its midnight over there but still Anjali replied and came on skype.
Khushi asked after everyone and talk to her for few minutes. Anjali told her that Arush had trouble sleeping yesterday and even tonight.
"Di sing some poems or a song, he likes to hear them when he is about to sleep", said Khushi.
"I tried, didn't work. My voice is not good and I think he is use-to to your singing", replied Anjali tiredly.
"Hmm ...", Khushi thought for a second or 2, "I will record the song I usually sing to him ... try that if he sleeps listening to it".
"Hmm yeah we can try that", said Anjali and then asked for Arnav.
"Wait a minute Di", said Khushi and went into bedroom and saw Arnav still on bed. She called him twice but he didn't budge. She went over and found him fast asleep.
"Di he is sleeping", said Khushi and turned the cell so that Anjali can see Arnav.
"No worries, don't wake him up, I will talk to him tomorrow", said Anjali and yawned.
"Di, I think you should go to sleep", said Khushi with a worried expression.
"Yeah I will when Rahul gets back, he is on his way", replied Anjali.
They say good bye to each other and Khushi put the cell phone away on side table and went to Arnav. She watched him for a minute or 2 and runs her fingers on his forehead pushing away the fringes of hair.
Arnav sighed in his sleep with her touch. Khushi adjusted the comforter on him and went out of bedroom shutting off the light. She thought to let him sleep for an hour then she will wake him up for dinner. But his sleep broke after few minutes, feeling the urge to use washroom. He looked around and didn't found Khushi so he went out of bedroom and saw Khushi sitting on the sofa singing the song.
Arnav move close to him and realized the song, the one she use to sing for Arush. Arnav watched her till she completed it and asked what she is doing.
"Anjali di told me that Arush is not sleeping easily so I thought to send her the song I sing for him. May be hearing that he will feel relax and sleep easily", said Khushi as she send the recording to Anjali.
Arnav's heart melted hearing that. Khushi look up at him feeling his stare.
"What?", she asked.
"Nothing", said Arnav and then yawned. "Still feeling sleepy?", asked Khushi.
"Nah, just a bit tired", said Arnav. "I was anyway going to wake you up in sometime for dinner", said Khushi as she stood up.
"I don't feel hungry much", said Arnav, "can we have something light?".
Khushi nodded her head, "I will order salad, your favorite?".
"Yeah thanks", said Arnav as he kissed her cheek and went into bedroom, "I will just freshen up".
Khushi called room service and order pineapple chicken salad for Arnav and a club sandwich for herself.
Their dinner arrived after 20 minutes and they lounged in the living room where they watched a movie while eating. Arnav shut off the TV when they finished eating and Khushi started fidgeting with her fingers as her heart beat rise. Arnav could feel her nervousness; he took her to bedroom and pulls her close.
He hugged her and stays that way until Khushi got relax. Arnav told her that he wanted to try something new. He explained the new position as they shed each other's clothes. Khushi was nervous but at the same time excited for trying something new. Arnav kissed and touch her all over, making her tune into their intimacy. When he felt she was aroused enough and was ready, he guided her to climb on bed on all her fours. And he came behind her. He place kisses all over her back and nipped her rear cheeks. After giving attention to her back and rear he positioned himself at her core and plunged ahead, holding her close.
Khushi moaned aloud with the first thrust and then they were lost in the frenzy of their love making.
-------------------------------------------------------
The next day (Wednesday) they went to convent garden in the morning as Khushi wanted to try the Mexican diner there for breakfast. After breakfast they roam around for some time and move ahead to their next destinations of St. Paul Cathedral, Shakespeare Globe Theater, Tower of London and Tower Bridge. They went on cruise ship, touring through the River Thames, and see popular destinations.
As the sky darken the tower bridge lite up with thousands of lights and what a sight it was to behold. Khushi who was usually against of PDA, kissed Arnav full on mouth as the surrounding got too romantic. And Arnav didn't complain and hold her close as the savor the moment together.

Next day (Thursday) they woke up late around 11pm and get ready lazily. They went to "Cellarium Caf & Terrace" for brunch which was near to Westminster Abbey, their next destination to tour.
After that they went to tour Parliament House and Big Ben and the head towards Hyde's Park, London's famous and largest park.
Khushi was at the pond, leaning over the railing and throwing bread pieces to the few ducks there. Arnav was few feet away, talking on phone. Khushi smile as she looks over at him. You can take Arnav away from work, but can never take work away from Arnav.
She turn back to the ducks and remembered her conversation with Anjali she had yesterday. Arush was able to sleep without whining, listening to her song. She had talk to him 4 times over last days. He had cried the first time, whined the second but 3rd or forth time he had talked animatedly. She was thankful of Dhruv and Minnie, for doing the marvelous job of keeping him busy. She made a mental note to buy some gifts for them.
She sighed as she throws the last piece of bread and dusted her hands. She look over at the few horses, people were riding. Arush would have love this place, he love animals, especially horses. It's sad that he won't be able to see that.
Just then she heard a faint "Mama" sound and she came out of her thoughts and shakes her head thinking that she is now hearing Arush's voice but next moment she froze when she heard a loud and clear "Mama". She was afraid to turn back but did anyway when she heard a shout behind her and she turn just in time to see Arush clashing with her legs and stumble a little.
"Arush", Khushi whispered as she knelt down and hugged Arush. She move back and saw her baby's happy face.
He is here ... Arush is here ... she can't believe it.
She looked up and got astonished seeing Anjali and Rahul coming to her.
How? She thought and then her eyes fell on Arnav who was looking at her with tenderness and she knew that he did it ... again ... bringing Arush here ... for her.
Anjali and Rahul greeted her with smile and Khushi hug them, "I can't believe it you guys are here", said Khushi.
"Well believe it now, we are here", said Anjali with a smile as she look at Arnav who also came there.
Rahul took Arush's hand, "Arush look over there ... horses".
Arush exclaimed happily seeing the horses coming in their direction. He quickly moves towards them and Rahul and Anjali follow him ... giving Arnav and Khushi some time alone.
"Arnavji", Khushi quickly hug him tight, "Thank you", she mumbles against his chest.
Arnav squeeze her close, he didn't need to say anything as why he did it, because he knows Khushi understand it. He had called Anjali the next day when he saw Khushi recording her song. He knew that she missed him so much but for his sake doesn't show. What she thinks that if she is good at hiding her emotions ... he wouldn't get to know
"I know you were missing him and I thought it's better to bring him here rather than going to India", said Arnav as he breaks the hug and look over at Rahul and Anjali, "And it would give Di and Jiju some time to spent alone. They have been busy these last 2 months regarding our wedding ... they deserve some time away together".
Khushi rise on her tiptoes and peck his lips, "I don't know what to say, you just think about everyone and then say you are selfish".
"I am selfish Khushi", said Arnav, "there is exception in some cases".
Khushi roll her eyes at him and then went over to Arush. She picked him up in his arms and smother his face with kisses and he gives back equally to his mama. She take him around the park showing him ducks, horses, different kinds of birds and other small animal that can be seen there.
Next they went over to beautiful and colorful Kensington Gardens, looking over the Kensington Palace in the background and spend some time roaming around and then went ahead to the Orangery Restaurant for coffee and snacks. Khushi was surprised to know that Anjali and Rahul were not staying at their hotel.
"Khushi it's your honeymoon, not a picnic", said Anjali when Khushi asked them to check into their hotel
"But Di, you guys will be going back on Sunday ... so we can spend some time together", said Khushi with her innocent looks.
Anjali shakes her head, "Nope, we will have plenty of time for family gatherings and picnics later. This is yours and chottey's time and you should utilize it fully".
"True and besides I want to spend some alone time with my wife too", said Rahul, winking at Khushi who opened her mouth and just giggled.
"And I want the same with my wife, so I guess we should leave", said Arnav as he wink at his Jiju who give him the appreciative nod. Khushi blushed at this and give a glare to Arnav, which didn't work. He takes her hand and they went out after biding goodbye to Anjali and Rahul.
They reached the hotel around 7.30 and Arush was getting cranky due to sleep, as the time change catching up on him. Khushi quickly changed him into his comfy pajamas and hand him his milk bottle. She lay beside him and runs his hand over his hair and sings the song. When he slept after some minutes, Khushi went to her cupboard and take out the dress, now it's time to reward her husband.
Arnav arranged the pillows on the comforter; he had ordered from room service and laid it on the carpet. He had moved the sofas to the side making space in the middle. He had planned to watch a move with Khushi and spend some cuddle time together. He put the dvd in and was opening it when he heard the bedroom door open, which he had closed before so that the noise from shifting the sofas don't wake up Arush.
"Khushi I put the Dv ...", Arnav turned and froze seeing Khushi standing at the bedroom door ... wearing a red see through lingerie. The remote slipped from his hands as his mouth hung open.
Khushi's heart was thudding very fast but she kept her seductive expressions intact ... seeing that sunned look on Arnav's face was worth it. She was hell nervous to do it but now seeing Arnav entrance with her gave her courage to go ahead. So she swayed over to Arnav stopped in front of him.
Arnav's mouth move but no words came out, sure he had seen her naked and loved every inch of her body ... but seeing her this bold avatar was something else and that sure made the blood rush in his veins.
Khushi didn't gave him a chance to say or do anything as she fisted his hair and yanked his head down, taking his lips in a bold kiss.

------------------------------------
Khushi's sleep broke hearing Arush's crying voice. She jolted from her position and quickly stands up, she searched around and picked Arnav's shirt and dash into the bedroom. She came to bed as she put on the shirt and sit on the bed and pick Arush in her arms.
"Dhoodo (milk)", cried Arush, he was hungry, "Mama ..."
"Yes baby, give me one minute shona", said Khushi as she dug into Arush's bag, on the floor beside the bed.
"Oh no", said Khushi as she came up with both of his milk bottles empty, "Damn damn ...".
Arush cried got louder "Mammmaaa" and Arnav came into the bedroom as he button up his jeans.
"What happened?", asked Arnav.
"He is hungry and there is no milk", said Khushi worriedly as she picked Arush in her arms, "Please call the room service and ask for warm milk".
Arnav looked at the time, it was 3:40am, "Khushi I don't think room service will get milk at this hour".
"its big hotel, don't tell me they don't have milk here", said Khushi irritatingly as she tried to calm down Arush but he was very hungry.
"I didn't mean that, they will take time", said Arnav as he looked around the room, "can we give him something else, water ... juice?"
"Yes juice, I bought the bottle, it's on the table beside the door", said Khushi pointing outside of bedroom.
Arnav dashed and grab the bottle, which still had half juice left. Arnav came into the bedroom and pour juice in Arush's feeder and then give it to him. Arush took a sip and then push it away, crying.
"What?", asked Arnav.
"He is habitual of warm milk", said Khushi as her eyes got moist seeing Arush's red face and crying and saying Mamaaa ... maamaa.
"Wait", said Arnav and dashed into washroom, he opened the tap to full hot and bring the bottle under water which started to steam. It was so hot that Arnav was hissing as the water burn his skin.
"Arnavji, please call the room service", shouted Khushi over Arush's cry.
"Wait a minute", Arnav shouted back.
"Shsshh my shone, papa is coming ... shhshh Arush", Khushi cooed to Arush who had now fisted her shirt in his hand.
Few seconds later Arnav came into the bedroom and went over to her. He gives the bottle to Arush who took it and started sipping it hungrily.
Khushi put him down on bed, and started running her finger into his hair and murmurs into his ear.
Thankfully Arush settle down into sleep in few minutes.
"I am sorry, baby. Mama is so sorry baby", murmurs Khushi into his hair, as her voice choked.
"Hey", Arnav takes her arm and pull her close, sitting on bed.
"I am so bad Arnavji, I didn't took notice that his milk was finished", said Khushi as few tears left her eyes.
"Hey ... hey ... you are not bad", said Arnav.
"I am", said Khushi angry on herself, "What kind of a mother I am that I was busy in my own world and didn't take care about his milk".
"Khushi you are the best mother one can have", said Arnav and Khushi shakes her head.
"No ... no listen to me", said Arnav as he cups her face and make her look at him.
"You are not a god that you cannot make mistakes or a machine to remember everything. You are a normal human that makes mistakes and if you are a bad mother then I am the worst father".
"No Arnavji, you are not", said Khushi quickly.
"No, I am", said Arnav sternly, "You love him and accepted him with all your heart and here I am still in the middle road. Hell I haven't even acknowledge him when he was born. Do you know the first time I picked him up, he was 7 months old".
Khushi looked up at him stunned and Arnav nodded his head.
"I came home early and was working in my room when I heard him crying. I waited for it to stop, thinking that Di will look after him but it got louder so I went over to her room. And he was alone there, crying badly. I waited and shouted for Di but she didn't come and Arush started hiccupping. I got afraid that something will happen to him so I picked him up and his crying stopped after few seconds. I went out of room and saw Di coming up the stairs. I shouted on her that how can she be that careless that she left him all alone in the room. Do you know what she did?".
"What?", asked Khushi, the tears forgotten now.
"She just stood there and watch me, Arush in my arms and said finally you picked up your son, it's good to see that you care', she scolded me instead and there was no shame or worry on her face that she got late and Arush was crying. Do you know why? Because she knows that she is not perfect and mistakes happen, it doesn't make us love our child less. We are not certifies parents or came into this world about the knowledge of parenting. We learn here, we do mistakes, we miss things and we can only do our best not to repeat it in future".
"I know, but still see how much he cried", said Khushi as she look over to her sleeping baby.
"And he cried for you, do you know why because he has faith in you that you will look after him and you did", said Khushi.
"No you did, your fast thinking and ...", Khushi was saying when Arnav put his finger on her lips, "There is no argue on this topic that you love him much more than me Khushi. You can ask anyone, Di, Nani, Mama, Mami, Akash ... they all know how much you love him ...even Rajat uncle and Rohan have accepted that no one is better for Arush than you".
"if they see now they wont think that way", said Khushi sadly.
"Khushi you need to stop this fear of yours", said Arnav sternly and Khushi looked at him confuse.
"You are so careful with Arush and his things; sometimes It seems as if you are obsessed with it. You have this constant fear that you will do one mistake and other will think that you are not enough for Arush ... just like now ... you missed checking his milk and started on blaming yourself and claim that you are a bad mother?", said Arnav in serious, "First you have to accept yourself that you are enough for him, no one is better for him. Believe me I have accepted this and other as well. it's just you who is not letting go this fear of yours".
Khushi hung her head in sadness as eyes got moist again, "I can't help it".
"Khushi, baby ...", Arnav tilted her face up, "You have to try, I know my Khushi is very strong ... she may look like a fragile flower but you are much stronger from within.".
A smile tug on her lips.
"Ok tell me this, will you think that Garima aunty is not enough of a mother for you", said Arnav.
"No way", said Khushi instantly, "She is the best mother, loving and caring and supportive".
"Can you give me a guarantee that she haven't made any mistake with your or Payal, she haven't miss anything related to you both?", asked Arnav
Khushi bit her lips thinking hard, yes there were times when she had think that her mother was at mistake.
"So you see, every mother goes through this ... making mistakes and learning from them and it doesn't make them less than perfect. In my opinion a mother like yours and now Arush are the prefect mothers. It can be seen in your upbringing and you will see, everyone will see it in Arush's up bringing as well because you my sweet heart (he tweaks her nose) are the perfect and best mother of him", said Arnav with a smile.
Khushi hug him tight, she cannot express her emotions and feelings for this man. He may have many shades but the one he had in his heart, the one which knows only loving and caring ... is the best one.
"Come on now, lets sleep hmm", said Arnav as he breaks the hug. Khushi nodded and give him a peck on his lips, "Thank you".
They lay in bed, with Arush between them. Khushi held his hand over Arush's stomach and squeeze it, "Arnavji".
"hmm?".
"You are the best too, in everything", said Khushi softly. Arnav just smile back in return.
-------------------------------------------------------
Next day (Friday) they rented a stroller for Arush and went to the Trafalgar Square, one of London's most vibrant spaces in the middle of the city, with its heritage site, statues and fountains. This place is surrounded by museums, galleries, cultural spaces and historical buildings.
They roam around the place for 2 hours. Last time when they were here, they had other people from AR and VF fashion houses. Arnav remembered how at that time he was longing to be with her and was irritated the whole trip. And now he was with her, with all the rights in the world to hold her, to kiss her and he enjoyed every bit of it.
Next they went to Westfield London, known as the Europe's biggest shopping center. It has more than 250 shops, nearly every kind, local and branded, modern and traditional. They had their lunch there and roamed around the place for next 2 n half hours.
After that they went to Hyde's Park again as Khushi wanted Arush to see the animals, as he is fascinated with them. Arnav was astonish to know that Arush know many animals name and even the sound of most of them. Khushi told him how he has many plastic animal toys and she and Anjali had taught Arush their names, but he had picked the sound himself by watching the poems.
They were boating in the serpentine lake when Khushi felt cramps in the lower abdomen and got suspicious of her monthly date coming 4 day earlier. She requested Arnav to go back to hotel when the pain started as well. And sure her period was started when she check in washroom.
"Hey you ok?", asked Arnav who was sitting on the bed, with Arush asleep in the middle.
"He is asleep?", asked Khushi.
"Yeah you were taking time in there and he was hungry I guess so I give him milk and he slept", said Arnav as he stood up.
"He must have been tired with all the running he did today", said Khushi as she tried to hide her wince.
"Khushi, you look pale", said Arnav as he gently takes her arm, "you sure you ok?".
"Yes Arnavji, I am fine", said Khushi and then bit her lower lips and she averted her eyes.
Arnav pull her close and Khushi yelped with the sudden jerk which caused her pain in lower abdomen.
"Khushi, whats wrong?", asked Arnav ... worried now. "I don't think you are alright, I will call the doctor here".
Khushi quickly shakes her head, her face redden with embarrassment, "There is no need for that".
Arnav give her a stern look, "Khushi you are not well, so I am calling the doctor".
"ufoo ho Arnavji, I am fine ... its ... its ... my period", said Khushi turned away.
"Oh ... ohhh", Arnav didn't know what to say but he make her face him and gently hugged her.
"I am fine and these bouts of pain are normal", mumbled Khushi against his chest.
Arnav move back and cupped her face, "You should take medicine for the pain".
"I will if its get worse but right now I am fine", said Khushi.
"Ok but go lie on bed, rest for some time hmmm", said Arnav.
"You need to rest too", said Khushi.
"I will, I am thinking to check my mails first and I want to talk to Aman about something", said Arnav as he move back and picked his laptop bag. He came to Khushi and pecked her forehead, "Go rest, I will be just outside".
Khushi smile at him and went to bed.
That night they both slept late into the night, as they couldn't get to be intimate and upon that Arush was sleeping between them. Khushi tossed and turn due to her cramps but Arnav mostly tossed and turned because he didn't get to hold Khushi in his arms.
-------------------------------------------------------
Next day (Saturday) after breakfast they packed up their things and checked out from hotel. After half hour ride the cab stopped at the place which was not the airport. Khushi asked Arnav if they were stopping here before going to airport but Arnav surprised her that they are not going to airport, they are taking a train to Paris as he wanted her to experience the ride across 2 countries; hence they are at the train station.
Khushi was astonish and excited as they enter the St Pancras International train station. Shelly greeted them at the check point and handed Arnav 2 envelopes.
"Thanks Shelly", said Arnav as he took the envelopes and introduces Khushi to her, "And this is my wife Khushi ... and Khushi she is Shelly Peterson, my EA".
"Hello, nice to meet you", said Khushi extending her hand and Shelly take it with a polite smile, "Nice meeting you Mam".
"Just call me Khushi, no need for Mam", said Khushi. Shelly looked at Arnav and after his brief nod, Shelly said, "Khushi it is then".
Arnav started checking the contents of the envelopes.
"And this is Arush, our son", said Khushi making Arush face Shelly, who was shying from her and hide his face in Khushi's chest.
"Hello", said Shelly tapping on his arm. Arush look at her and then hide his face again.
"Come on Arush, say hi to her", said Khushi in scolding, "What does Mama says when we meet new people hmm?".
Arush look up at his mother and seeing the stern expression Arush turn to Shelly and mumbles a small hello.
Khushi shakes her head, "he gets shy around new faces".
"I understand, i went through the same phase with my daughter", said Shelly with a smile.
"Oh yeah Arnavji told me, how old is she now?", asked Khushi.
"3 and a half", said Shelly.
"And Your husband, what does he do?", asked Khushi
Shelly stance stiffen as she give a hesitant look to Arnav and Khushi, "um, I am a single mother".
"Oh", Khushi was about to say when Arnav squeeze her elbow. Khushi look up at him and saw his expression telling her not to probe further.
"You got her pic?," asked Khushi instead.
"Yeah, wait", said Shelly and take her cell phone out of her purse and open the gallery, she showed her daughter's pictures to Khushi, "Her name is Laura", said Shelly as she scroll through pictures.
"Baby ...", said Arush as his eyes caught a few month old baby's picture.
"Yeah she is a baby", said Khushi with a smile.
Just then an announcement was made to board the train to Paris.
"That's our cue", said Arnav as he put his hand on Khushi's back, "We should go, train will leave in 20 minutes".
"Its nice meeting you Shelly, I hope we meet again", said Khushi and Shelly smile back, "same here. Have a good day Sir, Mam" and seeing Khushi's serious expression she changed the last work, "Khushi".
They bid goodbye to each other and Arnav and Khushi move towards the platform where their train was boarding passengers. Arnav guided Khushi to the first class compartment and they settled in.
Arnav took out the two envelops and take their tickets out from one.
"Whats that?", asked Khushi pointing to the thicker envelope.
"Euros", replied Arnav, "Well we can't use my card in small shops and with street vendor so I asked Shelly to do the currency exchange for me and give me some Euros"
"Good thinking", said Khushi and Arnav winked her, "I always do sweet heart".
The train started exact on its time 12.30pm and will be reaching Paris in 5 and half hours. Khushi enjoyed the whole ride, especially the portion where train went through under sea tunnel. Arush exclaimed happily seeing fishes and other sea animals that swim by the tunnel. And Arnav just relaxed back in the plush comfortable seat and enjoyed watching them.
