CHAPTER 13
"Khushi you are running a high fever...don't get up " Arnav caressed Khushi's hair and covered her whole body with the blanket.
He rummaged through the drawer of the side table and took out a thermometer "Here open your mouth" he said pushing it inside her mouth.
"100 degree ... " he said showing the thermometer and got up from the bed.
"Where r you going" Khushi asked in a weak voice as her throat was aching.
"Bas dawa le kar aa raha hun ( going to bring the medicine)" he patted her hand.
"No medicines" she pouted clearly indicating her how big of a fan of medicines she was.
Paying no heed to her ministrations Arnav went out of the room. After five minutes he was sitting on the bed with the medicines and a spoon. He put the tablet in the spoon which was having some water.
"Aise you will easily swallow the medicine..." he smiled bringing the spoon to her mouth.
"You are treating me likeva kid" she started moaning...in the end Arnav had to forcibly push the spoon in her mouth by holding her cheeks.
"Paani..." she made a face and pouted earning a chuckle from her husband.
After an hour Khushi saw Arnav entering with soup.
"Aaj college nahi jana?" she asked as she saw him sitting on the bed and covering his legs with the blanket.
"Aaj biwi ki sewa k liye leave li hi" Arnav winked and took the soup bowl in his hands forwarding it to her.
"Man nahi hai " Khushi moaned.
"Acha toh kya man kar raha hai" he said kissing her left cheek .
"I feel like sleeping again"
"First finish the soup baby..." saying this he brought the spoon to her mouth. She opened her mouth hearing the sweet "please" ...sometimes it's good to be sick and be the queen of the house.

"Raizada aise surprises deta hai..toh dil khush ho jata hai " Akash and gang were celebrating the happy occassion.
"Kitne samay tak beta...shaam me toh Raizada ki panchayat lagne hi wali hai uski kothi par ..." NK sighed
"Ahan let's skip that " Akash shrugged
"Aise kaise ...we have not completed the syllabus yet" NK at once spoke
"Beta tujhe kis subject ka syllabus pura karna hai...mujhe ache tareeke se pata hai..." Akash chuckled
"Shut up" NK countered
"Nahi...jis jagah full syllabus complete hone par bhi bada anda mile...wahan se nazar hata lena hi behtar hai" Akash snickered hinting his friends about NK's fondness for Khushi.
----------------
By evening Khushi's temperature had come down so Arnav was ready to take the tuition classes.
Soon Akash and NK came and now they all were in the hall with the books.
"Any problem Gupta" Arnav asked NK seeing him at the clock.
"Nai sir wo Khushi ma'am nahi aayin ..unki class ka waqt ho raha hai"
"She won't be taking your classes today" Arnav informed giving NK a shock
"Kya"
"Kamina khud marega mujhe bhi marwayega" Akash gritted his teeth seeing NK's loud reaction.
"I mean ...I had to finish the chapter " NK stuttered
Arnav was silent for few minutes but then spoke
"Actually she is a little upset ..."
"Why sir...I mean " NK's curiosity raised "We can help if you want sir"
"Actually tomorrow is Bhaidooj and she doesn't have a brother ...?" Arnav was cut short in between by Akash's voice
"Sir NK hai na...uski bhi behen nahi hai...he always feels bad on these occasions"
how could Akash leave the opportunity. He got a punch from NK in the back "Saale aaj tak Bhaidooj ka naam bhi suna aur"
"Is it...so it's decided NK will carry the rituals of Khushi's brother tomorrow " Arnav smiled and again took the book in his hands sending NK into a life long Coma.
After an hour Arnav was standing in the balcony seeing his favourite students leaving for home. A smirk came on his face "Meri Biwi ko line marne chala tha...Professor professor hota hai".
---------------------
Since it was Bhaidooj Arnav and Khushi were home only.
"Ahan kya banaya ja raha hai " Arnav entered the kitchen smelling the aroma.
"Your favourite ..biryani " Khushi smiled
"Aaan Biryani is second favourite. ..." he countered making Khushi raise her brows
"First is and will always be you" he winked and rushed outside seeing his wife lift the spatula.
"Shameless" Khushi muttered to herself and smiled.
It was 4 in the evening when Akash reached NK's house so that they could go to Raizada's house. But upon reaching NK's mother informed him that NK has caught Malaria.
"Huh ...Raizada ne aisa kata ki Malaria ho gaya"
On the other side at Arnav's house
"Khushi let's go for a movie" Arnav made a plan
"Mr. your students will be coming any time" Khushi said relaxing on the couch
"I don't think they will be gracing this society in near future" Arnav grinned taking the tv remote.
"What's the catch" she quizzed
"I didn't do anything ...I just invited them for Bhaidooj " Arnav faked innocence raising his arms.
"I know you very well Mr Raizada" she said meeting his eyes.
"How well ? " Arnav pulled her close and asked in a husky voice.
The answer will be in the next chapter. Don't worry it will come early this time.
