Part 5
4 Years Later
"ARNAV!" Khushi screamed in joy as Arnav twirled her around from behind.
"Oh Khushi I missed you so much!" Arnav admitted.He put her gently on her feet and twirled her around to face him "I missed you love.Happy Anniversary" Arnav kissed her.
"You remembered?" she asked.
"How could I not? It was the day I finally made you mine" Arnav grinned.
Khushi pouted "You could have wished me this morning"
"You were asleep love.I didn't want to disturb your peaceful slumber" Arnav explained.
Khushi smiled.She opened her mouth to speak "Okay"
"Khushi get ready in a few hours.I am taking you for dinner"
"Bu-" she was interrupted by Aarav.
"Mom mom are you okay? I heard you scream!" said Aarav,Arnav and Khushi's 3 year old son,as he came running into the kitchen into Khushi's arms.
"Oh it was because of your father Aarav.He scared me" Khushi said.
"Bad daddy" scolded Aarav.
"What the" said Arnav.He bent down to Aarav's height level "Aarav,will you allow me to take your mother to a restaurant for dinner alone"
"What about me" pouted Aarav.
"I promise to take you some other time"
"Okay but until then I want to spend as much time as I can with mom" Aarav said grabbing her hand and taking her away with him to his bedroom.
"What the?" said Arnav "He acts as if I am going to take Khushi away with me for months which he needs to and has to spend time with her.Though that wouldn't be a bad idea"he got into his thoughts.
**************************************
"I miss Aarav" whined Khushi.
"What the" said Arnav "It's only been half an hour since we have been in this restaurant and away from Aarav"
"Di is right.You can sometimes be so careless sometimes Arnav" chided Khushi "Don't you wonder what must Aarav be doing right now?Poor thing.He must be afraid an-"
"He has the entire family with him" said Arnav.
"Still" Khushi pouted
Arnav sighed and put his hand on hers entwining their fingers "Look Khushi.Yes even I miss Aarav but I miss you more.I want to spend some time with you alone"
Khushi grinned "So you are jealous of your very own son"
Arnav made an annoyed face "Yes.Yes I am jealous of my very own son because he manages to grab my wife's attention even when he's not with us"
Khushi sighed "Arnav I am a mother now.I have to give my full focus and attention to Aarav.He needs it.He is still a child.I thought you would have realized this by now"
"You could have told me 4 years ago or better yet on our wedding night" he muttered.
"What did you say" Khushi asked unable to hear him.
"Nothing" he said a bit too quickly.
Khushi opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by the ring tone of her cell phone.Khushi grabbed her phone and answered it "Hello"
"Mom I miss you so much" came Aarav's voice.
"Awe I miss you too" Arnav could tell who was on the other end of the line by hearing the sweetness and happiness in Khushi's voice.
"Please come home soon" said Aarav.
"I will" promised Khushi.Khushi cut the call and looked at Arnav "It was Aarav.He said he wants me home as soon as possible.Let's go home now"
"What? But it's only been half an hour" said Arnav.
"But Aarav is waiting" said Khushi standing up.
Arnav stood up too and walked towards her "Are you sure? You might regret it.Think about it" he whispered huskily in Khushi's ears.
Khushi suppressed a smile "I am sure" she stated.
Arnav frowned "Fine" and went to the waiter to get the bill to pay.
Suddenly Khushi's phone rang.She picked it up "Hello"
"Leave Arnav" came a feminine voice.
"Excuse me?"
"Leave Arnav or you'll regret it"
"Wrong number"
Khushi cut the call not waiting for a reply.Arnav came back.He looked at her "Are you okay? You look a bit tensed"
Khushi nodded "I am fine"
Arnav nodded and the two went home.
**************************************
"Mom you're home!" cheered Aarav.
Khushi grinned "I missed you"
"I missed you too.Will you sleep with me tonight?"
"Of course"
"What" said Arnav "Again"
Khushi giggled as Aarav took her away to his bedroom.Arnav grudged up the stairs and fell on his bed.He grumbled about how he should have thought about the future 4 years back and how he should have been careful and thoughtful and what not.He attempted to make a Khushi out of the pillows and failed miserably.This wasn't the first time.He groaned knowing it was going to be a long night for him.
**************************************
Khushi patted Aarav's stomach as she lulled him to sleep.She couldn't help but keep thinking about that threatening call 'Maybe it was a prank call' she thought 'Maybe I am just worrying for no reason' With those thoughts she fell asleep not knowing what was bound to happen the next day.
