Kushi turned and tossed in the bed... She was asleep. Yet restless. As her fist hit Arnav's face, his eyes popped open...
Turning to her side, he simply kept looking at her... She was murmering in the sleep. Looking at her, he didnt know what he felt...
"At times, She reminded him of his 'mom'.. No, they didnt match in any way. Bt, may be one thing.. 'the heart'... His mom n his Kushi, two people who loved him and knew him...
If Kushi was awake, he would hav asked her to let him sleep in her lap..."
Arnav's thoughts ended abruptly, when kushi wriggled out of her comforter n was slighty disturbed by the cold wind.
He held her close and tucked her in to the pink comforter.
He felt a need to hug her... Just to keep her warm. Because that moment, he was feeling that she is a 'baby'. A cute grown up baby that he has to take care of... A baby who can be his mom...
"kushi"... He sighd... He patted her hair and when she shovd his hand in d sleep, he made a puppy face.
"hummph... Paagal, even when sleeping'...
He held her left hand and then ran his fingers through her hair...
He leaned to give her a kiss on the forehead, but when his lips touched her, he felt like resting his face sideways on her face for a few seconds...
Kushi in half sleep, felt that... She opened her eyes to see Arnav's left cheek on her right cheek... 'Dhaadi'.. She murmerd.
He lifted his face, smiling at her. Bt, he didnt want to wake her up...
"nothing.. Sleep..." he kissed her again and rolled to his side.
He knew something was troubling her. But what?...
But then he heard, light snoring, n then again the word 'dhaadi'...
Kushi in her half sleep was happy that she just discoverd one Difference between Arnav and Aarav. "THE DHAADI". the boy doesnt hav it. She smiled in sleep.
"dhaadi..."
he again heard. This time he wonderd. "Was his unshaven look troubling her? Is that she wanted to change? Wanted to ask? Otherwise, why wud she say that at this time of the night... 'paagal cute woman'...
"ho saktha hai... my wifey can think anything" he felt like pulling her cheeks...
The next day morning, the first thing he did was a 'shave'. He looked in d mirror.. Yes! 'clean shaven'. Now, she will be happy.
He kissed her a gudmorning and there she opened her eyes with a smile... 'Aarav doesnt have a 'dhaadi'...! She smiled again and then saw Arnav looking at her with that Shining clean shaven Face..
Kushi pushed him and ran "hey Devi Maiyya, now Arnav looks like Aarav.. No dhaadi"😉
