Part 55 - Professor Arnav
So Khushi sits on her chair by her desk, whilst Arnav brings the chaise lounge close to her desk and gets her to show all her books and the syllabus she had to cover for the first semester. She shows him everything with a fallen face. She wasn't in the mood. She tells him, "I am finding the Business & Management Course work difficult. Accounting and Finance is okay and Economics too. "Then pleading again continues, "I have just started Arnav, please not today." Arnav now serious, "Khushi just shut up…and be serious…..you have so much to cover. Come on give me the Business book, let's start." He has got his nose buried in her course book whilst Khushi placed her head over her folded arms on the desk and says, "Now WHO would be able to concentrate on studying with a handsome professor like you…" saying this she gives him a flirty look. He doesn't lift his eyes up knowing what she was up to and if he did he would be lost himself, so says, "Khushi stop joking come on." Khushi grumbles, "Now I have a professor who wants revenge." Arnav lifts his eyes to her and asks, "What did you say, revenge? Why?" Khushi "well because I got you to agree seeing the doctor that is why? Arnav laughs, "What rubbish…….Iam serious here." Khushi again distracting him says, "Really? Then placing her hands in his hair caresses his neck saying, "Do you honestly want to teach me right now or…………………" Arnav shuts the book and grabs her out of the chair over him on the chaise lounge, "You vixen……do you know what I want to do right now?" His hands held her on top of him, her pallu had come off. With her hands holding his shoulders she held on to him. His one leg straddled over her. He huskily looks into her big brown eyes and says, "I would love to teach you the art of Love Making. So what is it you want to learn from me, Lovemaking or Business Management?" She lowers her gaze, for she had no answer, caught in her own web. Arnav enjoying her being cornered and with his hands all over her buttocks and back demands an answer, "Come on Baby…..need your honest reply Love Making or BM, I am good at both." Khushi buries her head in his chest and softly replies, "YOU DEVIL" He continues with a drawl, "So what is it Love or Business? I need an answer!" She whispers, "Anything to make you happy…..…..both." He roars with laughter and kisses her passionately, saying "Love you, I can start now if you say so." Khushi teasingly says, "Professor, prepare your time table I'll go see Payal in the mean time. Let me go now." He lets her go patting her butt, "Okay go, the time-table is definitely going to be set." She gets out of his embrace and kisses him, "We shall see... Love you Arnav."
When she was gone he thought he better be prepared for the aftermath of her talk with Payal. She would storm in anytime with her objections.
Khushi knocks on Payal's bedroom door. Payal opens it. Akash was busy reading a book. He gets up and addresses her, "Khushiji how are you? Come sit, I shall let you both chat." He wanted to escape from the scene but also did not want Payal to handle the matter alone so decides to come back a little later. So Khushi sits besides Payal and after enquiring about her health asks, "Jiji Arnav asked me to speak to you about the house that Jijaji mentioned? What house?" Payal now cautiously speaks out, "Well Khushi Akash and I have seen a beautiful little villa just away from Shaanti Van for us." Khushi, "For us meaning who Jiji." Payal hesitatingly continues, "Well for Akash and me and Akash's parents." Khushi now sensing that there was more to it, "But for what?" Payal wanting to make it easy for Khushi to digest the fact that they were moving home says, "Khushi don't you think I need to also have a home of my own. A place where you come over and stay and spend time with me, a place where I can decorate the way I like."
Khushi now with tears brimming says, "You mean Jiji you all want to leave this home and stay separately, but why? Is it just because I have now come back?" Why can't we all live together? What is the problem? And Jijaji has always lived with Arnav...why are you both doing this? Why did Arnav not tell me about it?" Payal consoled her saying, "Firstly Khushi it's not because of you pagal, Akash and I decided on our own home about 4 months ago. And Arnavji also wasn't talking to Akash for a week or after he was told about our decision, so please do not be upset with him."
Just then Akash enters the room seeing the grim scenario in front of him, and Khushi crying bitterly, "No you both cannot leave like that. I always wanted that we all live together. And now you are pregnant!" Akash came up to her and said, "Khushiji when I told bhai he too was upset but then understood our stance...we as a couple need to find our own path and have a place of our own. Bhai has taken care of us all his life...it's not fair on him and you...I need to do this for Payal and our children. It is solely my responsibility to take care of my family including my parents. And one more thing the house is next door. I promised Bhai I would not move unless I got the villa opposite Shanti Van. I have been trying since a long time, the deal came through now." Khushi just continued crying not willing to accept his explanation. Akash looks at Payal and then decides to go and call Arnav. Probably he could pacify her.
Akash goes to Arnav and says, "Bhai woh Khushiji...she is upset about the house...bitterly crying...can you come and do something...I do not know what to say." Arnav looking at Akash, "What did you expect? Of course she is going to be upset and now I have to bear the brunt of it. She is going to be equally mad at me for hiding it from her for so long!" He gets up and accompanies Akash shaking his head. Akash feeling bad, "Bhai sorry."
Here Khushi is unstoppable, and in the midst of her tears, "You all hid this from me Jiji...no one told me about it." Payal consoling her, "Khushi I did not tell you because I was not sure if the deal would have come through...we wanted a house right next to you both."
Arnav arrives and sees the accusation in her eyes directed towards him, she rants whilst still crying, "You of all people, why did you hide this from me? You should have been the one to tell me. This is all because of me." He was sitting beside her with his arms around her shoulder. She pushes his arm away. Arnav knew he had to be firm with her that was the only way to come out of it, so says, "Shut up Khushi...and stop the crying.." Akash objects, "Bhai! ek minute!...see Khushiji it is something that I decided...and Payal together. Don't you want your sister to have a home of her home...where you can come and stay when you and Bhai have a fight? Come on think about it? And you can help Payal to decorate it and everything." This bought a smile to her face instantly and she looked at Arnav saying "Yes." He gave her a naughty look but felt relieved that she would be okay.
Then Payal goes on, "And Khushi we are not moving out right away, it will take another 2 or 3 months...and then I go to Lucknow...Akash will be here at Shaanti Van...so it's only going to be after 8 to 9 months and you can just walk up to our house."
She took Jiji's hand in hers whilst Arnav placed his arm around her shoulder again saying, "You are a real cry baby inspite of being a married woman." That was fuel to fire...oh no thought Arnav. Khushi remarked at once, "What? you mean married women are not supposed to cry?" Akash and Payal laugh and say in unison, "now both of you don't start your fight or our baby is going to grow up hearing your fights." Khushi hugs her sister and then leaves them to rest. Arnav on his way out says, "Be ready we will leave around eight."
Arnav takes Khushi's hand in his which she withdraws still upset with him. He pulls her hand and holds on to it tightly saying, "The house is not ready yet...so you are not going anywhere now come along with me, needed to continue where we left."
They go back to their room, and Arnav with a glint in his eye says, "Sundays are to be reserved for me Baby, so where were we before you left?" Khushi still upset says, "Don't change the topic Arnav, you should have told me." Arnav explains, "Payal asked me not to. She wanted to be the one to discuss this with you."

Part 56 - Lavanya & NK
Khushi then goes to Di and informs her that to be ready by eight. Khushi informs her, "Di Arnavji asked me to wear trousers today, is it okay?" Anjali replies, "Of course silly...why not and that too Chote asked you too. You better listen to him, or he will roar like a lion for nothing." Khushi nods in agreement, "woh toh hai, Di." and then leaves from there.
Khushi returns back and they then get ready to go for dinner. Khushi chooses to wear a beautiful dark purple satin silk tunic styled with subtle Indian embroidery at the neckline and collar over a pair of fitted and stretched white slacks that were ankle length and narrowed at the bottom. The length of the tunic just ended at her buttocks just about above the mid-thigh length. She puts on her pearl necklace and the pearl drop earrings that he had gifted her. Her mangalsutra was twirled round her left hand. She then ties a high pony tail leaving loose a few tendrils all around her face. The whole ensemble enhanced her figure whilst giving her a look of sophistication.
Arnav was still in the bathroom. He comes out wearing his trousers and the white vest. Sees her all dressed up ready to put on her makeup. Arnav shouts, "Wait!" Khushi stops mid way holding the lipstick tube in her hand frowning responds back, "Kya hua!" He throws the towel on the bed and comes towards her. Grabbing her by the nape of her neck he devours her mouth passionately, leaving her lips all wet and then lets her go, "Now go on and put on that lipstick of yours!" She complains, "Arnav you just ruined my hair I think, gosh!" All he does is smirk and gets dressed. She fixes her hair again and puts on her makeup. She turns to him and asks but with a worried frown, "How do I look? Oh gosh what if Nani..? Arnav reassures her, "If you want to know, you look hot Baby!...and Nani is going to love it."
They then come down the stairs holding hands to join the others waiting for them in the living room. Khushi was nervous as hell. She held on to Arnav's hand tightly. Lavanya on seeing Khushi in trousers screams with delight. Nani's face lights up and her hands go to her face with awe.
Nani pulls Khushi by the hand and says, "Khushi bitiya aap toh bahut hi sundar lag rahi ho aaj, and runs her hands over Khushi and then brings them to the sides of forehead with her knuckles says, "Humari bahurani ko kissi ki nazar na lage, Chote sambhalo aaj...hmmm." Khushi puts her head down embarrassed but happy that they were all okay with her change in style.
Anjali hugs Khushi and gives her a thumbs up. Lavanya, "Wow Khushi, wow...you look so beautiful. The outfit really suits you. In fact anything would look good on you. Tomorrow we both go for some more shopping...what say ASR!" Khushi looks at Arnav and he winks back at her seeing all their backs were to him. He replies, "I have no problem with that Lavanya. Shall we leave now?"
Everyone leaves for the restaurant. At the restaurant when they arrive, Arnav makes sure to place his hand at Khushi's waist. He notices the males turning heads when she walks past them.
They all sit at the reserved table. Candles were lit with a bunch of red roses placed in the center. The meals and drinks arrive. The couples were seated opposite each other. Anjali was seated next to Khushi on one side. The women order soft drinks and juices. Amidst all the laughter and chit chat, Arnav raises a toast, "To NK and Lavanya, wishing you both a wonderful life ahead." NK thanks everyone and congratulates Payal and Akash and then Arnav on his new contract. Khushi raises her glass and says, "To our family...may we always be united together no matter what...we must remember to be there for each other... in good times and troubles too." Anjali holds Khushi's hand and they all raise their glasses and toast one another. "To Family. "
The food served was fantastic. In the background was soulful ghazals being played out. Khushi reminds Lavanya, "Now we are all looking forward to your wedding, but please make sure it's not during my exams." Lavanya assures her Khushi would be the first one to know the date.
Khushi sees Arnav happy and content. He was laughing and joking with Akash and NK. What a changed man her husband was. He looks at her and smiles, Khushi smiles back.
They all return back home. Khushi walks Anjali to her room. All retire for the night.
Khushi ensures Arnav had taken his medications. She gets him a glass of warm milk to take along with the medicines. He enquires why not coffee. Khushi objects, "No coffee late night. Arnav...have the skimmed milk instead."
Arnav first uses the bathroom and changes for the night. Khushi then enters to change into her night dress. She takes off her trousers and is busy pulling the tunic over her head when she feels another pair of hands helping her to take it off her. She is flustered to see him in here whilst she was just in the inner slip that she had worn under the tunic and the underclothes. The slip just about touched her waist. Her belly button was showing. She pulls it down but to no avail. Nothing could escape his eyes. His hands were holding the tunic and she had nothing to cover herself. She pushed him in defense, "Let me change...Arnav!" He looks at his wife standing there in a short purple slip looking a bit mad but yet so desirable. The colour of the slip was in stark contrast to her skin. She screams to distract him,"Tilchata." He turns and she runs out of the bathroom. He catches up with her knowing her too well by now. He scoops her in his arms and carries her to the bed. She wasn't giving in so easily so moves away again from him. He pulls her by the leg towards him sliding her towards him. She perched herself with her hands on the sides which only made her look all the more alluring to him, the straps of the slip falling off her shoulder, her smouldering eyes, her heaving bosom her white legs on display,one foot held in his hand. She says softly, "Let go of my ankle." He smirks, "No.!" She whines, "You are hurting me!" Arnav laughs replying, "Really, and what about all the bruises on my back? If I hurt you I'll heal you as well." He then caresses his hand all the way up from her ankle to her knees and thighs. She turns her back to him out of shyness. He continues to trail her body with kisses from her back reaching all the way up to her neck. She feels his hot breath on her neck, he softly calls out, "Baby I love you so where do I start with the Lovemaking lessons." She lifts her head up softly calling out, "Arnav!" in full surrender. With his hands still caressing her he slowly turns her towards him wanting to see in her eyes the longing for him.
Her lush lips were parted waiting for him to seek them. Her face flushed her eyes filled with an ache for him. His brown eyes turn molten wanting to drive her wild. He claims her mouth with his tongue whilst his hands deftly undress her. He looks at the marks he left on her breasts. And kisses them tenderly. She pulls off his tshirt wanting to feel his skin against her hands and hold on to that strength. She was losing control and so was he. He takes her through the night on a wild ride of love and desire.

Part 57 – Choices
Arnav kisses her forehead and pushes her hair away from her face. Then pulling the sheets over them he calls out, "Khushi." She answered, "Hmm." Lifting her chin up he says, "So do you want me to continue with my lessons in lovemaking or not?" With her hands still caressing his chest she says, "Professor Arnav you got to go to work, we are not on our honeymoon...so better go off to sleep now Mr. Raizada I shall apply some cream." He looks at her and pulls her closer and huskily whispers, "Well with such a hot and obedient student like you in my arms I can stay Professor all night long." Khushi places her finger on his lips, "let me first apply some cream on those marks". She gets up and going over him reaches out to the bedside table. When she tries to come back to his side, he holds her on top of him. He says, "You are so damn delicate." Khushi gets out of his embrace and tells him to sleep on his stomach. She applies the soothing antiseptic cream. He loves the feel of her hands on him. Arnav speaks up, "Khushi tomorrow I will come to pick you up somewhere in the morning, need you to come to select the car." Khushi surprised, "What car and for whom?" Arnav replies, "For you and the others at home. Now you need to go to college sometimes, Payal needs to visit the doctors. Di has her things to do, just one car isn't enough." Khushi continues, "But why do I have to come to select. Get what you think is required." He says, "I have what I want. This time you choose the family car." After she was done, she then covers him with the blanket, puts on her negligee and then puts off the night lamp and taking his hand in hers falls off to sleep.
Another day and the couple follow their daily routine. Arnav makes sure he kisses her before he leaves to work. It was his daily dose of her touch and love that managed to sustain him till he came home every evening back to her.
The day goes by with the cooking and other house work. Khushi checks to see if Nani and Anjali required anything from the market, since she was going out with Arnav.
He calls telling her to be ready in fifteen minutes as he would be there soon. She had worn a pair of leggings and a simple kurti to match with it. She put on a contrast scarf to go with it. Khushi made sure to carry the list of things she needed from the supermarket. She would make sure he accompanied her after the trip to the showroom.
Arnav calls from outside the gate. She joins him, taking her seat asking "Kaise hoh?" He looks at her and his eyes travel to a slight low neckline that revealed a tiny bit of cleavage so says, "Good though busy, Khushi the neckline of this kurti is too low." She looks down at herself and frowns, "No it isn't. But if you feel so will put the scarf. I hardly sit in the car and your eyes travel in the wrong places!" Arnav replies, "If I wasn't driving my hands would have travelled too Baby." Khushi, "Please concentrate on the road, will you? And can we stop by the hypermarket on our way back. I have things to buy." He agrees, they reach the Honda Car Showroom. They hold hands whilst entering the showroom. The manager is at the door to greet them. He introduces Khushi, "My wife." Khushi greets the manager with a namaste. He then shows them the cars. Arnav takes her to the maroon 2012 Honda CR-V 4WD. She moves and goes to the pearl-white colored one on display saying, "Arnav this is a nicer color." Arnav surprised, "But Khushi why not the maroon one, I thought you would like red or ma..." She gives her reasons, "Well if not cleaned even for a day it will catch dust and show very easily. The pearl-white one will always look clean and never goes out of style. Besides you won't be embarrassed driving a red car." Arnav argues, "Khushi choose what you like...not what I like, that is why I brought you here." The manager moves on seeing the couple argue about the color, each one trying to make the other happy. The manager thinks Mr. Raizada sirf sundar hi nahi, samajdhar bhi hai!
Khushi does not agree, "No, when did I tell you that I like maroon or red? I like the pearl-white one. Let's finalize. I don't like seeing cars. I want to go to the supermarket. Arnav now irritated, "Really Khushi, you are something. Fine we will take the off-white one." The manager is called and Arnav confirms the one chosen by Khushi. The Manager with a broad grin says, "Good choice Mrs. Raizada, actually it has more options than the maroon one." Khushi looks at Arnav with an 'I told you so' smirk. He smiles back knowing she got him to agree to something that he would have wanted for himself.
Arnav informs the manager the cheques etc would be sent tomorrow by his office and to deliver the car within a day or two with the rust-proofing and parking sensors etc.
They leave from there and reach the SPAR Hypermarket Stores. They enter the stores, whilst Arnav pulls up a trolley. He better get used to coming shopping with her. She had her list and started buying things that usually Di wouldn't buy. Things like iceberg lettuce, broccoli, spring onions, cheese, pasta, broccoli, sauces, whole meal bread, skimmed milk, olive oil, etc. She made sure she checked the prices, compared with other brands, looked at the expiries. Arnav asks her, "Khushi for whom is all this and why are you checking the prices?" Khushi, "Now who else would I buy this for, of course you! No more outdoor food. Whatever it is I'll prepare at home." Arnav, "And where did you learn to prepare such dishes, may I ask?" Khushi, "I thought you were smart, the internet of course." Arnav, "So now you are busy searching for dishes instead of studying?" Khushi replied as a matter of fact, "Both, and the prices have to be checked, won't pay for something that is not worth it." They then did a lot more shopping for other household stuff. She picked up things that Nani and Di wanted. She then bought things for Jiji. He tells her, "Khushi you can tell the driver to bring or Hariprakash." Khushi seeing him not interested, "Fine, next time you do not have to accompany me, I'll just take the driver." Arnav, "I did not say that I don't want to come along with you, but why do you have to go through the trouble Khushi?" She ignores him and goes about her business of buying whatever was required for the house.
They return home with all the stuff and she insists that he has lunch and returns back to office. He rushes through lunch, says a quick bye with a peck on the cheek and leaves for the office.
Khushi gets back to her schedule for the day. It was six in the evening. Akash returns saying, "Bhai said he would be late, a few things came up." He did not call her. She calls up Aman. He informs her that Mr. Raizada was out at a meeting and would not return back to office.
She studies a bit then comes down to serve evening dinner. She calls him. The phone was switched off. She is worried. Naniji enquires, "Khushi bitiya Chote kahan hai," Khushi informs her that he was at a meeting outside and as soon as he was done he would come home. She does not tell them that he had not called. NK and Lavanya inform that they were leaving the next day almost at the same time. So they would leave together for the airport.
It was around 9 pm. She comes down with her books to the living room to study whilst waiting for Arnav. After a while she warms up some milk and takes it to Nani's room. Her phone rings at around 9.30pm. It was Arnav, "Khushi sorry Baby, got stuck in a meeting, will be home in fifteen minutes. Did you have dinner?" She replies, "You know I will not, come home soon."
He arrives at around ten. Hari Prakash opens the door. He finds her placing the dishes on the table. He comes up to her puts his arms around her waist and kisses her on the cheek, says, "Hi, sorry." Khushi, "Its okay go on and freshen up quickly, I am hungry too."
They sit to eat together and she updates him that Lavanya and NK were leaving the next day. He promises to come home on time to wish them before they leave.
She goes along with him to their bedroom collecting her books. Hari Prakash insisted that she let it be and he would clear up the table and kitchen.
