OS- In Your Arms
Khushi laid in bed with her eyes closed and the duvet pulled close to her chest, her lips chanting 'Hey Devi Mayya Raksha karna' continuously, she taught to herself 'I'll be perfectly safe if I keep my eyes closed and lay still'. She tried to stop herself from peeping and buried herself into the bed. She wondered why Arnav was not back home yet and worried about how she was gonna get out of the bed and call him, she decided to stay in bed, close her eyes and stay safe.
Arnav walked up to their room, wanting to hit the bed after such a long day, he was surprised to see that Khushi was not waiting for him and then he brushed the taught away thinking that she must have fallen asleep as it was already 12 pm and he was a little too late today. He opened the door slowly and peered into the dark room to see Khushi sleeping with the duvet over her, her back facing him, he smiled and walked into the room.
Khushi stiffened as she heard the door creak open and closed her eyes tight, it was all happening just the way she had imagined, her heart was thudding endlessly and threatened to leap out of her chest, she was trying hard to stop the fear from rising and kept saying her prayers in her mind. 'Oh God I guess my last moments have arrived, what is Arnav gonna do without' me she wondered and clutched the duvet closer wanting to run away and hide.
Arnav smiled and walked towards the bed and looked down at her, her face was hidden underneath the duvet and his heart warmed up looking at how adorable she could be.
Khushi sensed someone standing behind her and buried her head into the pillow to stop herself from screaming, she had never imagined that this would all be actually happening to her, she felt a cold hand touch her shoulder and that was the end of her courageous silence, she jumped up and yelled with her hands over her eyes 'Don't kill me pleaseee!!' she squealed.
Arnav stood astounded as he saw his wife screaming like someone held a knife to her throat, he tried to get her to open her eyes, he was at a loss for words and wore a horrified expression on his face and tried pulling her hands apart.
'Oh no now he is trying to get me to stare into his eyes before I die so that he can take over my soul' Khushi's mind screamed. 'Just stay calm and keep screaming someone will come up and rescue you' she taught to herself and rocked back and forth on the bed trying to push the cold scary, deadly hands away.
Arnav could not take it anymore, this was seriously getting out of hand. His wife was acting as though she was confronting a murderer ,he was concerned and wondered what could be wrong, he finally found his voice and spoke 'Khushi! Open your eyes dammit, what the hell is wrong with you' he yelled in a scared and confused voice.
Khushi stopped rocking back and forth and froze 'Was that Arnav's voice' she taught to herself and slowly parted her fingers and peeped out with one eye still closed, she saw Arnav staring at her like she had lost her marbles and quickly put her hands down and opened both her eyes, she flung her arms around him almost knocking the breath out of him 'Thank God its you' she whispered in a scared voice and heaved a sigh of relief.
Arnav was taken aback by the force with which his wife flung herself at him and wondered what crazy antic she was upto now and was also concerned about why she looked so scared and pale. He hugged her close and kissed her forehead softly and pulled her back to look at her. 'What was that?' he asked with one eyebrow quirked. He was amused to see his wife blushing beetroot read and looking down. 'Umm I was watching Paranormal Activity 2 with Di' she muttered embarrassingly 'and I taught you were the spirit who would drag me down the stairs' she added and shook her head to clear the taught's.
Arnav stared at his wife and bit his lips to not laugh out loud at how crazy she could be, she was so wonderfully adorable and he found the whole thing very funny and typical Khushi, after all these months that they had been together his wife still managed to surprise him every time.
'Do not laugh' she punched him slightly and buried her head into his chest. His body shook with laughter and he hugged her close 'I love you so much love' the smile and laughter very evident in his voice. He rubbed her back slowly and whispered sweet nothings into her hair and then pulled back and laid her down gently. He got up to shower , Khushi pulled at his wrist and asked him to stay with her, he smiled down at her and switched on the lights, 'I'll be right back' he whispered.
Arnav returned after a shower to find Khushi still lying wide awake, he walked towards the bed and laid down next to her he pulled her close and enveloped her in his arms, he switched of the lights with one hand and then buried his head in her neck, 'I'm right here, go to sleep baby' he whispered and hugged her close.
Khushi found her crazy fears disappearing immediately, his warmth and comfort made her forget how scared she had been, she flung her arm over his waist and cuddled close to him with her head buried in his chest. Her eyes closed slowly and she fell into deep slumber listening to the steady beat of his heart and wrapped herself completely in his safety and warmth.
