Part 111
*Later that night,11:30 p.m.,Shantivan*
Mamaji frowned when mamiji entered their bedroom in a daze.
Mamaji(supressing a yawn): Ka hua Mannu? Pair dukh rahe hain ka?
Mamiji: Naahi! Aaj hum jaun dekhe rahe aur jaun sune rahe oo par tau humko viswas ae naahi hui raha hai! Arnav bitwa k bhaasa ma kahe tau ekdum unbelievable laagat raha!
Mamaji(sitting up): Kauno bhoot-paret dekhi hau ka?
Mamiji: Oo se bhi jyaada dangerous!
Mamaji: Par ka?
Mamiji: Sasuma!
Mamaji: Amma k saamne galti se bhi ee baatwaa naahi kahna varnaa..
Mamiji: Areh hum tau oo ko phes to phes (face to face) poochhat rahe ki sasuma, hum aisan ka karat rahe jaun aap hum par laad-pyaar ka saawar

(shower) karat rahi? Bhat did I dooj? (what did I do *to deserve it*?) Tau oo kuchhho boli hi naahi aur chup ai chaap huaan se nikal gayi!
Mamaji: Par amma ne aisan ka kahe diya jaun ki wajah se tum itni ghabraaye gayi?
Mamiji: Hum Anjali bitiya k saath kal k pirogram ki piractice karat rahe jab sasuma huaan aayi aur humse kahi..
*Flashback*
Nani: Hum Om Prakashji se kahe diye hain,oo aapki dal ma oopar se dui chammach ghee daalkar denge. Aur.. fridge ma kesar badam wala doodh

banaakar rakhe hain. Jaun aapko abhyaas(practice) karte wakhat bhook lage taun oo pee lijiyega aur sookha nastaa khaaye lijiyega.
Mamiji(shocked): Hain?!
Nani: Anjali bitiya..
Anjali: Ji nani?
Nani: Aap dunno der raat tak abhyaas mat kariyega.
Anjali: Nahi,nahi nani. Hum bas.. ek-aadh ghante baad band kar denge.
Nani(nods): Aur.. jaun aap dunno k pair ma dard hau taun humre kamre se maalish ka tel lekar jaiyyega.
*Flashback ends*
Mamiji: Hum oo ko yaad bhi karvaaye diye ki aaj na tau humra haippy birthday hai aur na humre saadi ki saalgiraah! Phir oo kaahe humre khaatir

aapan ispecial doodh banaaye rahi? Kaahe dal ma ghee daalkar khaane ki khaatir kahe rahi? Waisan tau hum jab bhi chaawal ya daal maa oopar se

ghee aid(add) karat hain,taun oo humko tana maarat hain!
Mamaji: Aaj bhi maarna chahiye tha, kaahe se ki,pichhle mahine k muqaable, tumhra wajan dui kilo badh gayaa hai!
Mamiji(annoyed): Tum tau sut up ae kar liyo!
Mamaji: Aur tum bhi sut up kar liyo! Amma ka kahat rahi,ka karat rahi ee sab k baare ma sochne k bajaay ee socho ki Khusi bitiya ko saalgiraah k

tohfe ma kaa dena hai? Hum tau Arnav bitwa ki khaatir Armani suit lai k aaye gaye par ab tak tum Khusi bitiya ka tohfa naahi laayi hau!
Mamiji: Ee wraang inpharmasan (wrong information) kahaan se mili hai tumko? Hum kal hi phatti saadi ki khatir tohfa mangvaaye rahe Hiralalji se!
Mamaji: Tanik humka bhi tau dikhaao..
Mamaji is shell shocked when mamiji opens the jewellery box.
Mamaji: Ee?! Ee Khusi bitiya ki khaatir liye rahi ki aapan khaatir liye rahi?
Mamiji: Oo ki ainibarsari(anniversary) hai tau oo hai ki khaatir lenge na?
Mamaji: Tum hos ma tau ho? Khusi bitiya ki gardan tumhri gardan(neck) jaisan naahi hai!
Mamiji: Bhat do you means?
Mamaji(checks his words): Humra matbal.. oo ki gardan tumhri gardan jaisan strong naahi hai ae hi liye oo ee haar ka bojh naahi uthaa pai hai. Humri

maano tau ee k bajaay kauno halka,jadaao haar laaye k oo ko dai diyo,haan!
Mamiji: Halkaa har denge taun humri insalat (insult) naahi hui jayegi ka? Phatti saadi oo ko pahink baahar jaayegi tau sab kaa kahenge? Mamiya saas

khud tau badhiya,bada wala haar pahnat hai aur bahuriya ko halkaa haar devat hai!
Mamaji: Jaun ee haar pahinegi taun bitiya ki gardan fracture hui jayegi! Aur jaun halkaa haar dogi taun tumhri insult hui jayegi! Saare fasaad ki jadd

ee haar hai! Taun haar dena hi cancel kar diyo! Kauno aur tohfa de diyo..
Mamiji(wonders aloud): Kangan de dein ka?
Mamaji: naahi! Oo ki patli kalhaai ma tumhri pasand k mote-mote kangan naahi suhaayenge! 
Mamiji: Tau.. Banarasi saadi de dein?
Mamaji: Banarasi? Naahi,naahi! Bitiya tumhre jaisan Banarasi ki sauqeen naahi hai!
Mamiji: Oo tau hum jaanat hain! Par NK babua ki saadi ma tau Banarasi saari oo k kaam aai hai na?
Mamaji: Haan.. Saadi maa tau.. pahin sakat hain..
Mamiji(decides): Taun ee tay raha! Hum phati saadi ko giphat ma Banarasi saari hi denge! Aur tum dekh liyo-Hum aisi saari denge ki phatti saadi jab

oo ko pahink NK babua ki saadi ma jaayegi taun sab oo se ee hai poochhenge: Phram bher haiv you baat this bootiphul, bhandarphool, deejainer

saari! (From where have you bought this beautiful,wonderful, designer saree?)
Aur jaun phati saadi humri or isaara karegi taun hum.. (proud smile) aisan ismail (smile) karenge!
Mamaji sighs while mamiji continues with her histronics.
Mamaji(thinks): Mannu tau abhi se aapan waah-waahi ka sapnaa dekhat rahi! Kaisan saadi pasand kar k laayegi kaa maalum? Bichari Khusi bitya tau

phas gayi! Jaun oo bhaari saadi pahinegi taun chalnaa-phirnaa,uthnaa-baithnaa musqil hui jaayega! Aur jaun naahi pahinegi taun Manuu oo ka chain

se saans lena musqil kar degi! (sighs)Ab tau Devi Maiyya hi bachaaye Khusi bitiya ko!

 *The next morning,4.45 a.m. ,IST*
Arnav: Baby..
When she did not respond,he spoke slightly loudly.
Arnav(tucks her hair behind her ear): Baby utho..
Khushi groans in her sleep & turns her face to the opposite side.
Arnav(kisses her cheek): Wake up sweetheart!
All chains of sleep broke loose the moment she felt his lips on her cheek.
She was about to chide him when her eyes opened.
And she saw his smiling,expectant face.
And all thoughts of irritation and anger went out of her head.
Arnav(smiles): Good mornin'!
Khushi(whispers): Dheere!
Arnav(whispers): Sorry!
Khushi(frowns): Subha.. ho gayi toh.. (looking around)battiyaaan. *yawns* kyun nahi jal rahi hain?
Arnav: Kyunki abhi tak sab so rahe hain.
Khushi: Toh aap kyun jag rahe hain?
Arnav: Kyunki meri neend toot gayi. Aur tumne kal mujhse kaha tha na? Jaise hi meri neend toot jaaye main tumhe jagaa doon,so maine jagaa diya!
Khushi(sitting up): Kitne baj rahe hain?
Arnav: Paune paanch..
Khushi: Oh ho! Matlab aap kuch hi ghante so paayein?
Arnav nods.
Khushi: Chaliye,phir se sone..
Arnav(interrupts): No,I'm fine. Mujhe nahi sona hai!
Khushi: Toh itni subha uthkar kya karenge aap?
Arnav: Tumhe choodiyaan pehnaunga!
Khushi(bewildered): Kya!?
Arnav: Ssshhh!
Khushi(softly): Aapne.. humein subha-subha choodiyaan pehnaane k liye jagaaya?!
Arnav: Haan, kyunki baad me sab uth jaayenge aur phir tum mujhe choodiyaan pehnaane nahi dogi! Waise bhi,sone me problem mujhe hoti hai tumhe

nahi! Choodiyaan pehno aur phir se so jao!
Khushi: Aap na,honey! Unbelievable se bhi 2 qadam aage nikalte jaa rahe hain!
Arnav ignores her comment as he holds her wrists.
Khushi makes a face when he starts kissing her arm.
Khushi: Choodiyan utaarne aur pehnaane se pehle yeh karnaa zaroori hai?
Arnav stopped kissing her for a moment to say "Haan,hai!" before he resumed kissing her arm.
Khushi: Agli baar hum lambi astin(long sleeved) wali anaarkali pehenkar chalenge! Choodiyaan pehenna ka koi sawaal hi paidaa nahi hoga! Tab kya

karenge aap?
Arnav glared at her before grabbing her bangles from the seat pocket.
Khushi: Dheere! Apnaa gussa choodiyon par mat utaariye!
Arnav closed his eyes & loosened his grip on the bangles.
He looked up at her once both her wrists were full.
Arnav: Ab so jao..
Khushi: Aap sone ki koshish toh kijiye.
Arnav: Mujhe nahi sona hai!
Khushi: Toh humein bhi nahi sona hai!
Arnav: Stop behaving childishly! Tumhe neend aa rahi hai & its very apparent! Chupchaap so jao.
Khushi: Jab.. sab jag jaayenge toh humein bhi jagaa dijiyega..
Arnav: Tumhe toh ab main landin' k waqt hi jagaaunga!
Khushi: Toh hum nashta kab karenge?
Arnav muttered unbelievable man! under his breath.
Khushi: a.. achchha,theek hai. Hum sone ja rahe hain. Agar neend aaye toh so jaiyyega.
Arnav gives a short nod in reply.
*15-20 minutes later*
Arnav paused the song he was listening to & turned towards Khushi.
He was surprised to find her looking at him.
Arnav: So jao na!
Khushi: Neend nahi aa rahi hai..
Arnav shrugged & turned back towards the screen.
He was about to plug the earphones when a thought crossed his mind.
Turning towards Khushi,he slowly patted her head.
Khushi: Aap..
Arnav: Ssshhh! Aankhein band karo aur so jao..
He patted her for 10 minutes or so before she fell asleep.
The rays of the morning sun added an extra glow to her face.
Arnav,yet again,felt the urge to kiss her.
He balled his fists & swiftly turned away from her.
Arnav(thinks): I hope aaj office jaane se pehle hum dono ko privately kuch time spend karne ka mauka
mil jaayega. Agar aisaa nahi hua toh.. (lets out a deep breath)Aisaa hi hoga! I'll make sure ki aisaa hi ho!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
*10:00 a.m. at the arrival gate of New Delhi airport*
Khushi(peering outside): Humein lene k liye kaun aa raha hai?
Arnav: Aakash ne kaha tha ki woh aayega. Lagtaa hai traffic ki wajah se late ho gaya..
Khushi: Ho saktaa hai. (turns to him)Aap..
Her heart skips a beat when she notices the expression of anxiety on his face.
Khushi(holds his hand): Kya hua? Aap itne pareshaan kyun lag rahe hain?
Arnav: Kyunki abhi yahaan par bomb phootne wala hai!
Khushi(shell shocked): Kya?!
Arnav nodded with a long sigh.
Khushi(looks around): M.. matlab.. airport par.. aatankwaadiyon ne.. hamlaa kar diya hai!? (clutches his hand tightly)Hey Devi Maiyya!
Arnav(arm around her): Relax! What I meant was.. jaise hi main apne cellphone ko switch on karunga waise hi messages,voicemails aur reminders ka

bomb phootega!
Khushi: Toh aise kahiye na! (smacks his arm)Aapne toh humein daraa hi diya tha! Waise,agar aapko iss bamb vispot(bomb blast) se bachnaa hai toh

1 tareeqa hai humare paas..
Arnav: Bolo..
Khushi: Yaheen se,ulte paun,Paris laut chalte hain!
Arnav(morose expression): Not funny!
Khushi: Achchha,sorr.. areh! (smiles) Woh rahe jijaji!
Aakash waves back when she waves excitedly at him.
Arnav: Chalo..
Khushi: Toh.. bamb vispot?
Arnav: Car me hoga..
Khushi nodded & proceeded towards the point from where Aakash was walking upto them.
Arnav walked behind her,wheeling the trolley with 0 enthusiasm.
The honeymoon was finally over.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Arnav frowned deeply as the Mercedez approached Shantivan.
Arnav: Aakash..
Aakash(turns behind from the passenger seat): Haan bhai?
Arnav: Paayal ki.. due date me.. time hai na?
Aakash: Haan,bahut time hai. Par.. aap yeh kyun poochh rahe hain?
Arnav(points outside): Toh.. ghar ko itna sajaaya kyun hai?
Aakash(smiles): Aap dono ki anniversary party k liye!
Arnav: What the f!?
Khushi: Achchha hi hai na! (smiles)Ghar bilkul nayi dulhan ki tarah chamak raha hai!
Arnav(enraged): Maine di se kaha tha ki main kisi outsider ko entertain karne k mood me nahi hoon! Phir bhi..
Aakash(interrupts): Party me sirf ghar k log honge!
Arnav: Ghar ki private party k liye itne decorations? Unbelievable! Unnecessary attention draw kar..
Khushi(interrupts): Chhodiye bhi! Jo ho gaya so ho gaya! Aaj raat tak ki hi toh baat hai na? Kal yeh sab kuch nikal jaayega. Aur,sabse zaroori baat, di

ne kitne pyaar se saari sajaavat karvaayi hai! Aur kuch nahi toh unka man rakhne k liye hi seh lijiye..
Arnav doesnt say anything after that,not even when Anjali welcomes them with an elaborate aarti.
Khushi knudges Arnav as naniji walks upto them.
Arnav: What?
Khushi(whispers): Pranaam kijiye..
Nani smiles warmly when ArShi touch her feet.
Nani: Khoob khush rahiye! Aur bitiya,aap sadaa suhaa..
She frowns when Khushi stands up.
Nani(points to her parting): Ee.. aapka sindoor aisan.. gaadhe(deep) rang ka kaisan hui gawaa?
An embarassed Khushi lowers her gaze.
Khushi(fumbles): woh.. nani.. ji.. yeh.. hum..
Arnav immediately comes to her defence.
Arnav: Nani, Khushi ki sindoor ka dibba khaali ho gayi thi. Wahaan par bottled,liquid sindoor hi available tha toh.. humein yeh hi khareedna padaa.
Nani: Kauno baat naahi! Bitiya,aap mandir se sindoor le lijiyega.
Khushi: Ji.
Nani: Waisan aapk haath ki chot kaisan hai ab?
Khushi: Theek hai,naniji. Hum dawaa bhi le rahe hain aur.. din me do baar.. inse patti bhi bandhvaa rahe hain.
Nani: Achchhi baat hai!
Arnav: Aapko postcard toh mil hi gaya hoga..
Nani(nods): Haan! (smiles)Aapka postcard padhkar humein bahutai zyaada khushi hui! Aur Chhotey,aapka andaaza sahi raha! (cups his cheek) Oo ko

padhkar.. Humein waaqai,aap k ilaava,aapk nanaji ki yaad aai gayi!
Arnav gives nani a hug,nani opens her other arm & hugs Khushi as well.
Nani(smiles): Jeete rahiye! Aur bitiya,sadaa suhaagan rahiye!
Mamiji: Hello hi bye bye! Hum kabse line ma wait karat rahe,sasuma! Ab lovebirds ko humre paas bhi tau bhejiye!
Nani: Kaahe naahi Manorama? Inn par jitna haq humara hai utna hi aapka bhi hai!
Mamiji(surprised): Hain?! (checks her expressions) a.. ba.. (smiles) bhelcomes lovebirds! Pairis ma itte dino tak kaa karat rahe,hain?
Arnav turns to Khushi to find her cheeks turning crimson.
The urge to kiss her resurfaces,making him all the more restless.
Mamaji: Kaa tum bhi,Mannu! Kuchhho bhi poochhat hau!
He smiles when Khushi touches his feet.
Mamaji: Khush raho,bitiya! Kaisi ho?
Khushi: Hum theek hai,mamaji. Aap kaise hain?
Mamaji: Humao theek hain!
She turns to look at Arnav.
Arnav: Now what?
Khushi: Mamaji k pair toh chhooiyye! Aur mamiji k..
Mamiji(interrupts): No phut touching pileej! Hum abhi utte bhi bujurg naahi huye hain! So,Gaad blais you! (God bless you!)
Mamaji: Aur bitwa,humre pair chhooye ki bhi kauno jaroorat naahi hai! Hum jaanat hai ki tumko ee sab naahi pasand hai! So tum tau bas humka gale

lagaaye liyo!(hugs him)Je baat! Khus raho,bitwa! Sugar,wugar sab control ma hai?
Arnav: I hope..
Mamaji: Hum dr.sahab ko bulvaaye hain. Oo aadhe ghante maa aayi k tumhra sugar level check kar k jai hain.
Arnav: Thanks a lot,mamaji!
Mamaji(pats his back): Kauno baat naahi! Aur jaun Khusi bitiya ki patti badalvaani hau taun..
Khushi(interrupts): Uss ki zaroorat nahi padegi,mamaji! Inhone.. subha-subha hi humari patti badli hai.
Mamaji: Phir tau rahe diyo,bitiya!
Arnav: Aap Khushi ki chinta mat kijiye,mamaji. Uss ka ghaav bhar raha hai.
Mamaji was about to say something when Anjali spoke from behind him.
Anjali: Ab humare paas bhi koi aayega ya nahi?
Arnav(walks up to her): Main toh pehle hi aap k paas aa raha tha,di,par aap aarti ki thaali rakhne k liye mandir chali gayi! Anyways..(hugs her)Kaisi

hain aap?
Anjali: Bilkul theek hain! Tum bataao,tum kaise ho? (breaks the hug)Tabiyat toh theek hai na?
Arnav: I'm absolutely fine!
Anjali: Paris me baithe-baithe bhi office ka kaam hi kar rahe the ya.. kuch aur bhi kiya!?
Arnav: Nahi di! (smiles)We had great fun!
Anjali(cups his cheek): Bahut achchhe! Aise hi haste,muskuraate rahaa karo,stress level apneaap control me rahega!
She moves over to Khushi who gives her a bear hug.
Anjali: Kaisi hain aap?
Khushi(simultaneously): Kaisi hain aap?
They laugh as they break the hug.
Khushi: Aap badi hain so pehle aap boliye.
Anjali: Hum theek hain aur.. (pinches her chin) aapk toh chehre se hi nazar aa raha hain ki aap kitni khush hain!
Khushi lowers her gaze,blushing profusely.
Paayal: Aapne bilkul sahi kaha,di!
Khushi(excited): Jiji!
She runs upto her & hugs her.
Paayal(pats her back): Aaraam se!
Khushi: Areh,hum toh bhool hi gaye the! (breaks the hug) Kaisi ho tum? (pats her tummy)Aur bachchha kaisaa hai?
Paayal: Dono theek hain. Tum bataao,Paris kaisaa lagaa?
Khushi: Humne phone par bataaya toh tha! Bahut hi sundar sheher hai! Aur bilkul saaf-suthra(neat n clean) hai! Aur.. (whispers)baaki ki baatein baad

me,vistaar se(in detail),bataayenge!
Paayal(smiles): Theek hai.
Khushi: Aur tum bhi humein bataana ki..(whispers)Gulmarg ki vaadiyon me kya-kya hua?
Paayal hushes her up as Arnav walks towards her.
Arnav: Kaisi ho tum?
Paayal: Hum theek hain. Aap?
Arnav: I'm fine! Is the baby fine? Dr ne kya kaha?
Paayal: Ji,unhone kaha ki sab theek hai.
Arnav walks past her with a nod.
Om Prakash: Namaste Arnav bhaiyya! Kaise hain?
Arnav(nods): I'm fine. Humara luggage humare bedroom me rakhkar aao.
Om Prakash: Ji bhaiyya.
Khushi(smiles): Namaste Om Prakashji!
OP(smiles): Namaste Khusiji!
Arnav(glares at him): Bhabhi.
OP: a.. maaf kijiyega,bhaiyya! woh.. kya hai ki.. hum jab pahile yahaan the tab.. aap dono ki saadi nahi hui thi na toh.. isiliye.. bhabhi ko dekhkar

moonh se Khusiji nikal gayaa!
Khushi: Koi baat nahi! Ghar me sab kaise hain?
OP: Theek hai.
Arnav(holds her hand): Ab chalo..
He drags with him without giving her a chance to speak properly to OP.
Arnav: Di..
Anjali: Kya hua Chhotey?
Arnav: Hum raat ko theek se soye nahi hain so.. hum rest karne k liye ja rahe hain.
Anjali: Par.. nashta?
Arnav: Humne flight me kar liya hai. Aaplog kar lijiye. Aur Aakash, main lunch karne k baad office aa jaunga.
Anjali: Bilkul nahi! Tum aaj ghar par hi aaraam karoge! Abhi-abhi toh itna lambaa safar tay kar k aaye ho! Oopar se dhang se soye bhi nahi ho! Aisi

haalat me tum kaam kaise kar paaoge?
When Arnav opened his mouth,she shut him up.
Anjali: Nahi! Aaj hum tumhari koi baat nahi sunenge,Chhotey! Tumhe aaraam karnaa hi hoga! Aur ghar par rehne k liye kaha hai iss ka matlab yeh

nahi hai ki tum laptop lekar kaam karne baith jaaoge! Aaj apne saath-saath laptop ko bhi aaraam karne do!
Arnav: Okay!
Anjali was surprised when he agreed without any argument.
Arnav: Ab main jaaun?
Anjali: Haan. Hum.. tumhari coffee aur Khushiji ki chaay bhijvaate hain.
Arnav: No,let it be! Main.. I mean hum,neend se uthne k baad,neeche aakar hi chay-coffee pee lenge.
Anjali: Theek hai!
Arnav: Chalo Khushi..
Holding her hand,he walked with her towards the staircase.
When they reached the lowermost step,Khushi's eyes immediately turned towards Arnav.
When he cocked an eyebrow she whispered: Sochiyega bhi mat! Hum.. khud hi seedhiyaan chadhenge!
Arnav: Fine.
He sped up the stairs & reached their bedroom much before she did.
Khushi(thinks): Hey Devi Maiyya! Aaj seedhiyaan chadhne me itni diqqat kyun ho rahi hai? Kaheen humare ghutne(knees).. (shakes her head)

nahi,nahi! Kuch nahi hua hai humare ghutnon ko! Do-chaar dinon me phir se seedhiyaan chadhne-utarne ki aadat lag jaayegi aur sab kuch theek ho

jaayega! Filhaal toh humein chalkar kuch der aaraam karnaa chahiye.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Arnav threw his waistcoat on the recliner the moment he entered the bedroom.
He had removed the tie & the coat soon after they'd got inside the car.
Arnav(opens the topmost button of his shirt): I guess mujhe usse 1-2 minute ka time dena chahiye varnaa bolegi "aate hi jhapat pade!"
He was pacing across the room restlessly when he heard her footsteps.
A smile appeared on his lips as the windchime announced her arrival.
Khushi(faint smile): Achchha hi hua ki di ne aapko aaj office nahi jaane diya! 
Arnav(smirks): Main bhi woh hi soch raha tha!
Khushi(relieved smile): Ab hum der tak,chain se so paayenge!
The smile disappeared from his face instantly.
Khushi(holding her waist): Hawaai jahaaz ki uss kambakht seat ki wajah se humaari kamar akad gayi hai. Zaraa humein spray lagaakar dijiye na.. 
Arnav: a.. ya,sure! Tum.. change kar lo phir..
Khushi: Theek hai.
Arnav banged his fist on the cupboard after she went inside the bathroom.
Khushi(from inside): Kya hua?
Arnav: Nothin'! Woh.. drawer atak raha tha toh..
Khushi: Achchha..
Arnav(thinks): Oh man! What am I goin to do now?! I jus'.. (takes a deep breath) I need to control myself. Control,Arnav Singh Raizada! Abhi toh uss

ki waist par spray lagaana baaki hai! You cant loose control right now! Jus'.. jus' calm down,okay?
The more he tried to tame his sexual urge the more he lost his cool.
Khushi wrongly attributed his crankyness to the fact that he had not slept well.
Khushi: Aap ek-do ghante aaraam karenge toh aapko behtar mehsoos hoga..
Arnav: Noways! Main pehle nahaaunga phir.. sounga. Tum so jao. Aur please mere aane tak wait mat karnaa!
Khushi: Theek hai.
Arnav: Aur bed k beechh-o-beechh sona kyunki main recliner par sone wala hoon.
Khushi's ears perked up when she heard that.
Khushi: Recliner par kyun?
Arnav was about to leave for the bathroom without answering when she called him.
Arnav: Now what?
Khushi: Humein aisaa kyun lag raha hai jaise.. aap humse door rehne k liye recliner par sona chahte hain?
Arnav chose to remain silent.
Khushi(getting up): Aap.. sambandh banaana chahte the?
Arnav(sighs): Jus' go to sleep,Khushi. Aur zyaada hilo mat varnaa tumhara kamar dard badh jaayega.
Khushi: Aapne humein bataaya kyun nahi,honey? Humein pataa hota toh hum.. aapse spray lagaane k liye nahi kehte. Matlab.. baad me kehte.
Arnav: Par uss se tumhari kamar ka dard badh jaata,isiliye.. maine kuch nahi kaha.
Khushi: Yahaan aaiyye..
Arnav: Kyun?
Khushi: Aapk mobile me 1 ghante baad ka alarm lagaa dijiye. Utni der me humari kamar ko aaraam bhi mil jaayega,hum aur aap kuch der k liye so bhi

lenge aur.. uthne k baad..
Arnav: Are you sure?
Khushi: Bilkul! Toh ab tilmilaana band kijiye aur alarm set kijiye! Bas,1 ghante ki hi toh baat hai! Sabar kijiye! (smiles)Woh kehte hain na? Sabar ka

phal meetha hota hai!
Arnav got the sweet fruit of his long wait when they finally made love after 2 hours.
Yes, 2 hours coz during the first hour Khushi kept tapping on the snooze option everytime the alarm rang.
It was only afte the cellphone fell down on the floor that Arnav woke up.
Khushi: sorry! woh.. galti se gir gaya.
Arnav(moving on top of her): Thats okay!
Khushi: Areh!? Phone toh utha lijiye.
Arnav(moving her left hand aside): Baad me uthaunga. Waise bhi filhaal mujhe uss ki koi zaroorat nahi hai!
He pressed his mouth firmly on hers before she could utter another word.
Their clothes & her mangalsutra soon found themselves on the carpet.
Khushi hissed as he parted her thighs.
Arnav: Kya hua?
Khushi: kuch nahi.
Arnav: Sure?
Khushi: hmm! Ab zyaada sawaal mat kijiye! Aap bhi woh hi chahte hain jo hum chahte hain! Toh bas.. ab jaldi sab kuch kijiye..
Arnav(grins): Ab kaun tilmila raha hai?
Khushi: Honey... pleassseee!
Arnav groaned as he positioned himself at her entrance.
The room was filled with moans & sighs as he buried his length inside her.
Khushi forgot where she was & screamed out when she reached the peak.
Arnav smiled as he kissed her swollen bud.
Arnav: Once more?
Khushi nodded while wiping sweat off her forehead.
This time they finished(and screamed) together.
An exhausted Arnav lay down on top of her.
Khushi cupped his cheek before he lay his head on her shoulder.
Khushi: Ab aap theek hain?
Arnav: Totally! Aur tum?
Khushi(blushes): Hum bhi! Toh.. ab neeche chalein?
Arnav: Itni jaldi kya hai?
He lifted his head & lowered his mouth to one of her nipples.
Khushi: Sab raah dekh rahe honge..
Arnav sighed as he kissed her hard nipples before disentangling himself from her.
Arnav: Raat ko,program khatm hone k baad,sabse baatein karne mat baith jana. Varnaa main tumhari raah nahi dekhunga!
Khushi(gets up): Kya matlab?
Arnav: Matlab main neeche aakar tumhe apni godh me uthaakar yahaan le aaunga! You know the rest!
Khushi: Theek hai. Hum raat ko aapko intezaar nahi karvaayenge. Par meherbaani kar k kaaryakram khatm hone se pehle mat uthiyega!
Arnav(nods): Okay.
Khushi: Ab toh phone uthaa lijiye.
Arnav: Utha raha hoon,baby! Jus' relax!
Khushi: Aur suniye..
Arnav(picks up the phone): Boliye?
Khushi: Hum nahane ja rahe hain. Agar aapko.. saath nahana hai toh 2 minute k andar bathroom me aaiyye varnaa akele naha lijiyega! '
Arnav dumped the phone on the bed before joining her inside the bathroom.

*Later that afternoon*
As the Raizadas' gathered around the dining table for lunch,Anjali took the chair next to Arnav's.
Anjali(smiles): Aaj humne sab kuch tumhari aur Khushiji ki pasand ka banaaya hai,Chhotey! Aaj toh hum tumhe apne haath se khilaayenge!
Arnav's eyes instantly went to Khushi who sat down on the chair opposite him.
This did not go unnoticed by Anjali.
Anjali: a.. Khushiji,aap bhi apni thaali lekar yahaan aa jaiyye na. Hum aapko bhi apne haath se khilaayenge!
Khushi(smiles): Theek hai.
Since Aakash was seated on Arnav's left,Khushi took her chair to the other side of the table & placed it behind Anjali's chair.
Khushi: Sorry di! Aapko humein mud-mud kar khilaana padega.
Anjali: Koi baat nahi!
She fed 1 morsel to Arnav & the next to Khushi.
Anjali: Khana kaisaa banaa hai?
Arnav: Aapne banaaya hai,di! Poochhne ki koi gunjaaish hi nahi hai! Its delicious!
Khushi: Sach me! Khana bahut hi swaadisht hai!
Anjali(feeds her): Shukriya!
She was about to feed Arnav when he held her hand to stop her.
Arnav: Kya yeh zaroori hai ki har baar aap hi mujhe khilaayenge?
Khushi's heart skipped a beat when he said that.
Arnav: Main bhi toh aapko khilaa saktaa hoon na?
He directed the morsel towards her mouth.
Anjali smiled as she ate it from his hand.
Arnav: Aaj aap rehniye dijiye,di. (pulls her plate closer)Main aaj aapko apne haath se khilaaunga!
He frowned when Anjali tore a piece of paratha & dipped it in the dal.
Arnav: Di,maine kaha na..
Anjali(interrupts): Haan,humne suna! Par yeh Khushiji k liye hain!
She turned around & fed Khushi.
Arnav: Yeh achchha idea hai,di! (feeds her)Hum rounds me ek doosre ko khilaayenge-main aapko,aap Khushi ko aur Khushi mujhe khilaayegi!
Anjali(clueless): Theek hai. Lijiye Khushiji..
Khushi ate what she offered before extending her hand towards Arnav who had already turned towards her.
She hissed when he bit the tip of her finger.
Anjali(turning to her): Kya hua?
Khushi: m.. mir.. chi.
Anjali: Oh ho! Rukiye,hum paani dete hain.
After gulping down the water,Khushi turned to Anjali.
Khushi: Yeh toh galat baat hai,di!
Anjali: Kya.. galat kiya humne?
Khushi: Aapne ho..
She checked herself just in time before the 'ney' came out of her mouth.
Khushi: hum.. humara matlab.. aapne humein khilaaya,aapne.. inhe bhi khilaaya. Ab.. yeh aapko khilaa rahe hain par aapko khilaa paayein! Toh ulta

chakkar bhi hona chahiye na? Matlab 1 baar yeh aapko,aap humein aur hum inhe khilaa dein phir hum aapko,aap inko aur.. yeh humein khilaayenge!
Anjali: Theek hai. Chaliye ab aap humein khilaaiyye..
When his turn came,Arnav looked into Khushi's eyes as his fingers touched her mouth.
Khushi blinked back tears as she recalled how they would feed each other while they were in Paris.
Arnav slightly shook his head before tearing his gaze away from her.
Nani: Khushi bitiya..
Khushi(peeks over Anjali's shoulder): Ji naniji?
Nani: Hum subhai aapse ee poochhne wale the ki aapne nath(nosering) kaahe naahi pahini? Phir humein lagaa ki shaayad.. safar k dauran aapko nath

pahinna sahi naahi lagaa hoga ae hi liye aapne naahi pahini hogi. Par hum dekh rahe hain ki nahaane k baad aapne aapan saas k diye huye kangan

tau pahin liye par nath phir bhi naahi pahini. Kaahe?
Khushi: woh.. naniji.. humari nath..
Nani: Ka hua? Bides maa.. kahin aapki nath kho tau naahi gayi?
Khushi: Nahi naniji! Humari nath humare paas hi hai par.. woh.. humein.. chubh rahi thi so.. humne utaar di.
Nani: Jaun aisi baat hai taun aap nayi nath banvaaye lijiye. Kaahe se ki nath suhaag ki nishaani hovat hai. Naak chhidvaane k baad nath naahi

pahinna achchha naahi hovat hai.
Arnav: Yeh sab bakwaas hai,nani!
Nani: Aapk liye hoga,humre liye naahi hai Chhotey!
Khushi: Hum aapki baat samajhte hain,naniji.
Nani: Bitiya,jab tak nayi nath naahi aa jaaye tab tak aap Manorama ki kauno nath lekar pahin lijiye.
Mami: Humri?
Nani: Haan,aapki. Aap k paas tau bahut sari nathniyaan hain,oo ma se kauno 1 Khushi bitiya ko kuch samay k khaatir naahi de sakat hain ka?
Arnav took one look at mamiji's huge nosering before turning towards nani.
Arnav: Uss ki zaroorat nahi padegi,nani!
Nani(frowns): Kaa matbal?
Arnav: Matlab main.. lunch k baad kisi kaam se baahar jaa raha hoon. Main Khushi ko bhi saath le chaltaa hoon. Kisi jewellery showroom se aaj hi uss

k liye nayi nath khareed lunga.
Nani(pleased): Ee achchha sujhaav hai,Chhotey! Aisan hi kijiyega!
And so Arnav took Khushi to a famous,diamond jewellery store post lunch.
From there,he bought a small,heart shaped nosering for her.
Arnav(getting inside the SUV): Like it?
Khushi(strapping her seatbelt): Ji. Humein pasand toh aayi par.. thodi chhoti hai.
Arnav(strapping his seatbelt): Dont worry bout that! Yeh itna shine karegi ki sabko door se bhi dikh jaayegi! And the best part-iss k edges sharp nahi

hai! So.. (smirks)na yeh tumhe chhubegi, na mujhe!
Khushi wanted to glare at him but she could not stand the heat in his eyes so she had to lower her gaze.
Khushi: Ab chalein?
Arnav(starting the car): Sure! BTW,koi idea hai ki shaam k function me kya honewala hai? I mean,kaun,kya karnewala hai?
Khushi: Woh hi jaanne k liye toh hum mare ja rahe hai! (disappointed) Par kisine humein kuch bhi nahi bataaya!
Arnav: Di bhi woh hi keh rahi thi ki surprise hai. I jus' hope ki yeh jo bhi program ho raha hai woh well within the time khatm ho jaaye.
Khushi: Haan.. Kal subha aapko daud lagaane bhi toh jana hoga na?
Arnav: Haan,joggin' k liye toh main jaunga hi but uss k baad aur office jaane se pehle mujhe tumhe mandir lekar jaana hai.
Khushi(surprised): Matlab.. aap humari mannat kal hi poori karvaa denge?
Arnav: Yup! Kal mannat poori karenge aur parso ichchha(wish)!
Khushi(confused): Ichchha?
Arnav(nods): Chandni chowk k market me ghoomne ki,khaane ki aur shopping karne ki ichchha!
He turned towards her to find a grin on her face.
Khushi: Humein andaaza bhi nahi tha ki aap itni jaldi humari mannat aur ichchha,dono poori karvaa denge!
Arnav: Woh toh karvaani hi hogi na,kyunki next weekend me humein tumhari adhoori ichchhaon ko poora karnaa hai. So is weekend me mannat aur

Chandni Chowk ko cover karnaa zaroori hai.
Khushi: Matlab hum.. agle Itvaar ko Lucknow jaayenge?
Arnav(shakes his head): Next Friday raat ko chale jaayenge ya.. early Saturday mornin'. Sunday ko tumhara birthday hai. Aur main chahta hoon ki tum

apne birthday ka poora din,every single minute of it,apne ghar me manaao!
Khushi: Pataa hai humara man kya keh raha hai?
Arnav: Pataa hai! Tum mujhe hug karnaa chahti ho na?
Khushi: Hmmm.. Hum aapko kas k gale lagaana chahtein hain!
Arnav: Tumhari yeh ichchha ghar jaate hi poori ho jaayegi!
Khushi: Woh toh hum jaante hain! (sighs) Pehle toh humse aaj shaam k program ka intezaar nahi ho raha tha par ab toh lagtaa hai ki hum Itvaar k

aane ka mar-mar k intezaar karenge! Humein poora yaqeen hai ki aap humein humare janmdin par koi na koi surprise toh zaroor denge!
Arnav(taking a turn): Obviously!
Khushi: Aapka tohfa toh hum pehle hi dekh chuke hain. (excited)Ab humein aapk surprise ka intezaar rahega!
Had she known that even Devi Maiyya was planning a birthday surprise for her,Khushi's excitement would have known no bounds.
But,inspired by the Raizadas', Devi Maiyya decided that this time, She would not give Khushi any indication about Her divine plans!

Translation for Part 111
*Later that night,11:30 p.m.,Shantivan*
Mamaji frowned when mamiji entered their bedroom in a daze.
Mamaji(supressing a yawn): What happened,Mannu? Are your feet aching?
Mamiji: No! I'm unable to digest what I saw & heard tonight! In Arnav bitwa's words,it was unbelievable!
Mamaji(sitting up): Did you see a ghost?
Mamiji: Something even more dangerous than that!
Mamaji: What is it?
Mamiji: Sasuma!
Mamaji: Dont say that in front of amma or else..
Mamiji: Areh I asked her phes to phes (face to face) "sasuma, bhat have I done for which you are saawaring (showering) so much love & affection on me? Bhat did I dooj?" (what did I do *to deserve it*?) She never replied! She simply walked off from there!
Mamaji: I want to know what amma told you.
Mamiji: I was piracticing with Anjali bitiya for tomorrow's pirogram when sasuma came there. She told me..
*Flashback*
Nani: I've told Om Prakashji to add 2 spoons of ghee in your dal. And.. I've kept kesar badam wala doodh (milk infused with saffron n almond) in the fridge. When you feel hungry,you can have that & some dry snacks.
Mamiji(shocked): Hain?!
Nani: Anjali bitiya..
Anjali: Yes nani?
Nani: You both need to sleep well so dont practice for very long.
Anjali: We wont, nani. We'll pack up after an hour or so..
Nani(nods): And.. if your legs ache,you can take the oil from my room.
*Flashback ends*
Mamiji: I reminded her that its niether my haippy birthday nor our ainibarsari today! Then bhy did she prepare her ispecial doodh for me? Why did she ask me to add extra ghee to the dal? She always taunts me whenever I aid(add) extra ghee in rice or dal!
Mamaji: She should've taunted you tonight as well since you've put on 2 kgs,compared to last month!
Mamiji(annoyed): Tum tau sut up ae kar liyo! (you better shut up!)
Mamaji: Aur tum bhi sut up kar liyo! (you should shut up as well!) Instead of worrying about what amma said & what she did,you should think about what you could give to Khusi bitiya for her anniversary? I've already bought an Armani suit for Arnav bitwa but you havent got anything for Khusi bitiya as yet!
Mamiji: From where did you get this wraang inpharmasan (wrong information)? I summoned Hiralalji yesterday itself so as to buy something for phatti saadi!
Mamaji: Let me see what you've chosen for her..
Mamaji is shell shocked when mamiji opens the jewellery box.
Mamaji: This?! Have you bought this for Khusi bitiya or for yourself?
Mamiji: Since its her ainibarsari(anniversary) its obvious that I would buy it for her!
Mamaji: Have you lost your mind? Khusi bitiya's neck is not like yours!
Mamiji: Bhat do you means?
Mamaji(checks his words): I mean.. her neck isnt as strong as yours! So she wont be able to bear the weight of this necklace. Listen to me,buy a delicate,jadaau necklace & give it to her!
Mamiji: Wont I get insalated (insulted) if I give her something light & delicate? What will people say when phatti saadi steps out of the house wearing it? They'll say that Manorama chooses heavy,regal necklaces for herself & gives something cheap & delicate to the daughter-in-law!
Mamaji: If she wears this necklace,bitiya will end up with a fractured neck! And if she wears a delicate necklace,you will feel insulted! So I guess you should ditch the idea of gifting a necklace! Think of some other thing..
Mamiji(wonders aloud): Should I give her gold kangan(bangles)?
Mamaji: No! Thick,heavy gold kangan of your choice will not look good on her thin wrists! 
Mamiji: Then.. shall I give her a Banarasi saree?
Mamaji: Banarasi? No,no! Bitiya is not fond of Banarasi like you are!
Mamiji: I know that! But she can surely wear that for NK babua's wedding,cant she?
Mamaji: Yes.. She can wear it for.. the wedding..
Mamiji(decides): Then its settled! I'll give a Banarasi saree to phati saadi! Just wait & watch! I'll pick sucha saree for her that when she'll wear it for NK babua's wedding,everyone will ask her: Phram bher haiv you baat this bootiphul, bhandarphool, deejainer saari! (From where have you bought this beautiful,wonderful, designer saree?) And when phati saadi will point towards me.. (proud smile) I will ismail (smile) like this!
Mamaji sighs while mamiji continues with her histronics.
Mamaji(thinks): Mannu is busy dreaming about being praised by all & the sundry! Who knows what kind of saree she'll buy? Poor Khusi bitya! She's badly stuck now! If she wears that heavy saree,it'll be uncomfortable for her. But if she doesnt wear it,Mannu will not let her breathe in peace!  (sighs)Now only Devi Maiyya can save Khusi bitiya!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
*The next morning,4.45 a.m. ,IST*
Arnav: Baby..
When she did not respond,he spoke slightly loudly.
Arnav(tucks her hair behind her ear): Baby..
Khushi groans in her sleep & turns her face to the opposite side.
Arnav(kisses her cheek): Wake up sweetheart!
All chains of sleep broke loose the moment she felt his lips on her cheek.
She was about to chide him when her eyes opened.
And she saw his smiling,expectant face.
And all thoughts of irritation and anger went out of her head.
Arnav(smiles): Good mornin'!
Khushi(whispers): Softly!
Arnav(whispers): Sorry!
Khushi(frowns): Why havent they.. (looking around)switched on the lights if.. *yawns* its morning?
Arnav: 'Coz everyone is sleeping.
Khushi: Then why are you up?
Arnav: I dunno.. I woke up a few minutes back & decided to wake you up as well. Didnt you tell me last night that if I were to wake up at any point of time in the night,then I should wake you up as well? So,here we are!
Khushi(sitting up): Whats the time?
Arnav: Quarter to five..
Khushi: Oh no! You could barely sleep for a few hours,isnt it?
Arnav nods.
Khushi: Come on. We'll try to sl..
Arnav(interrupts): No,I'm fine. I dont wanna sleep right now!
Khushi: Then what do you want to do at this hour of the morning?
Arnav: I want to slide your bangles down your wrists!
Khushi(bewildered): What!?
Arnav: Ssshhh!
Khushi(softly): You.. woke me up so early because.. you wanted me to wear.. my bangles?!
Arnav: Yup! I knew that,once everyone was up,you would not allow me to help you with the bangles! And anyways,I'm the one who's unable to sleep easily. You wont have any trouble in falling asleep once you wear the bangles!
Khushi: Oh honey! You're going beyond unbelievable now!
Arnav ignores her comment as he holds her wrists.
Khushi makes a face when he starts kissing her arm.
Khushi: Is it neccesary to do this after removing & before putting the bangles?
Arnav stopped kissing her for a moment to say "Yes,it is!" before he resumed kissing her arm.
Khushi: Next time I'll wear a full sleeved anaarkali dress! There'll be no question of wearing bangles! What will you do then,hmm?
Arnav glared at her before grabbing her bangles from the seat pocket.
Khushi: Slowly! Dont take out your anger on my bangles!
Arnav closed his eyes & loosened his grip on the bangles.
He looked up at her once both her wrists were full.
Arnav: Now go to sleep..
Khushi: Why dont you try to catch some sleep?
Arnav: Coz I dont wanna sleep!
Khushi: Then I also dont want to sleep!
Arnav: Stop behaving childishly! You're feeling sleepy & its very apparent! So just go to sleep quietly.
Khushi: Please wake me up when everyone wakes up..
Arnav: No,I'll wake you up after landin'!
Khushi: No,dont do that or else I wont get to have breakfast!
Arnav muttered unbelievable man! under his breath.
Khushi: a.. okay,fine. I'm going to sleep. If you feel sleepy then.. please allow yourself to sleep.
Arnav gives a short nod in reply.
*15-20 minutes later*
Arnav paused the song he was listening to & turned towards Khushi.
He was surprised to find her looking at him.
Arnav: Why havent you slept as yet?
Khushi: Coz I dont feel like sleeping anymore..
Arnav shrugged & turned back towards the screen.
He was about to plug the earphones when a thought crossed his mind.
Turning towards Khushi,he slowly patted her head.
Khushi: You..
Arnav: Ssshhh! Close your eyes..
He patted her for 10 minutes or so before she fell asleep.
The rays of the morning sun added an extra glow to her face.
Arnav,yet again,felt the urge to kiss her.
He balled his fists & swiftly turned away from her.
Arnav(thinks): I hope we get to spend some time together before I leave for office this morning. Or else I'll.. (lets out a deep breath)No! I'll make sure that we get some private time together!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
*10:00 a.m. at the arrival gate of New Delhi airport*
Khushi(peering outside): Who is coming to pick us up?
Arnav: Aakash had said that he would come. Looks like he got late because of the traffic..
Khushi: May be. (turns to him)You..
Her heart skips a beat when she notices the expression of anxiety on his face.
Khushi(holds his hand): What happened? You seem very tensed..
Arnav: I am,coz there's goin to be a blast o'er here, pretty soon!
Khushi(shell shocked): What?!
Arnav nodded with a long sigh.
Khushi(looks around): You mean.. the airport has been.. seized by.. terrorists!? (clutches his hand tightly)Hey Devi Maiyya!
Arnav(arm around her): Relax! What I meant was.. the moment I switch on my cellphone,there'll be a blast of messages,voicemails and reminders!
Khushi: Then why couldnt you say that straightaway?! (smacks his arm)You scared the life out of me! I have an idea which could save you from this bamb vispot(bomb blast)..
Arnav: Say it..
Khushi: Lets go back to Paris!
Arnav(morose expression): Not funny!
Khushi: Okay,sorr.. areh! (smiles) Look, jijaji's here!
Aakash waves back when she waves excitedly at him.
Arnav: Lets go..
Khushi: What about the.. bamb vispot?
Arnav: It can wait till we sit inside the car..
Khushi nodded & proceeded towards the point from where Aakash was walking upto them.
Arnav walked behind her,wheeling the trolley with 0 enthusiasm.
The honeymoon was finally over.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Arnav frowned deeply as the Mercedez approached Shantivan.
Arnav: Aakash..
Aakash(turns behind from the passenger seat): Yes bhai?
Arnav: Paayal's.. due date is far off,I suppose?
Aakash: You're right,bhai.
Arnav(points outside): Then why have you guys decorated the house like this?
Aakash(smiles): For your anniversary party!
Arnav: What the f!?
Khushi: Wow! (smiles)The house is glimmering like a new bride!
Arnav(enraged): I'd told di that I'm not in the mood to entertain any outsiders! Yet she..
Aakash(interrupts): But the party will not have any outsiders,bhai.
Arnav: These decorations are for a private party!? Unbelievable! It'll draw unnecessary attention towards..
Khushi(interrupts): Let it be! Its done now! Anyways,its only for tonight. Tomorrow all these will be off the house. And,most importantly, di has got the house decorated with so much love! If not for anything else,then please bear it for di's sake..
Arnav doesnt say anything after that,not even when Anjali welcomes them with an elaborate aarti.
Khushi knudges Arnav as naniji walks upto them.
Arnav: What?
Khushi(whispers): Pranaam..
Nani smiles warmly when ArShi touch her feet.
Nani: Khoob khush rahiye! *Stay happy!* And bitiya,sadaa suhaa..
She frowns when Khushi stands up.
Nani(points to her parting): What.. happened to your sindoor? Why is it so.. dark?
An embarassed Khushi lowers her gaze.
Khushi(fumbles): n.. nani.. ji.. I.. this..
Arnav immediately comes to her defence.
Arnav: Nani, Khushi ran out of sindoor while we were in Paris. This bottled,liquid sindoor was the only thing available there. So.. we were forced to buy it.
Nani: Thats okay! Bitiya,please take some sindoor from the mandir.
Khushi: Okay.
Nani: How is your wound now? Hope its not giving you a lot of trouble?
Khushi: Its better,naniji. I'm taking painkillers and.. he's dressing it twice a day so.. its much better now
Nani: Good for you!
Arnav: You must've got the postcard..
Nani(nods): Yes,I did! (smiles)I was overjoyed upon reading your postcard! And you were right, Chhotey. Apart from reminding me of you,it did remind me of your nanaji!
Arnav gives nani a hug,nani opens her other arm & hugs Khushi as well.
Nani(smiles): Have a long life! And bitiya,sadaa suhaagan rahiye! (may you be a suhagan*someone who's husband is alive* forever!)
Mamiji: Hello hi bye bye! We are waiting in the line since a long time,sasuma! Please send the lovebirds over here!
Nani: Why not, Manorama? You have as much rights over them as I have!
Mamiji(surprised): Hain?! (checks her expressions) a.. ba.. (smiles) bhelcomes lovebirds! Bhat bhere you doings in Pairis since so many dayj,hain? (what were you doing in Paris since so many days?)
Arnav turns to Khushi to find her cheeks turning crimson.
The urge to kiss her resurfaces,making him all the more restless.
Mamaji: Mannu! You should keep a check on your mouth!
He smiles when Khushi touches his feet.
Mamaji: Stay happy,bitiya! How are you?
Khushi: I'm fine,mamaji. How about you?
Mamaji: I'm fine as well!
She turns to look at Arnav.
Arnav: Now what?
Khushi: Wont you touch mamaji's feet! And mamiji's..
Mamiji(interrupts): No phut touching pileej! I havent grown so old as yet! So,Gaad blais you! (God bless you!)
Mamaji: And bitwa,you dont need to touch my feet either! I know that you dont like all this so let it be! It would be enough if you could give me a hug!(hugs him)Thats right! Stay happy,bitwa! I hope your sugar levels are in control?
Arnav: I hope so too..
Mamaji: I've called dr.sahab to check your sugar level. He should be here in half an hour.
Arnav: Thanks a lot,mamaji!
Mamaji(pats his back): You're welcome! And Khusi bitiya,if you want,he will change your dressing..
Khushi: No,thanks,mamaji! (points to Arnav)He has changed my dressing in the morning itself.
Mamaji: Then its okay!
Arnav: Dont worry about Khushi. Her wound is healing well.
Mamaji was about to say something when Anjali spoke from behind him.
Anjali: Will someone come to greet me or not?
Arnav(walks up to her): I was coming to greet you right after the aarti,di. But you went to keep your aarti ki thaali in the mandir! Anyways..(hugs her)How are you?
Anjali: I'm very fine! You tell me,how have you been? (breaks the hug)I hope you didnt have any health problems while you were in Paris?
Arnav: I'm absolutely fine,di! No problems at all!
Anjali: Did you keep working while you were in Paris or.. did you do something else as well!?
Arnav: No di! (smiles)We had great fun!
Anjali(cups his cheek): Thats nice! Your stress level will automatically be under control if you keep smiling like this!
She moves over to Khushi who gives her a bear hug.
Anjali: How are you?
Khushi(simultaneously): How are you?
They laugh as they break the hug.
Khushi: since you're older to me,please anwer first.
Anjali: I'm fine and.. (pinches her chin) your face is reflecting your happiness!
Khushi lowers her gaze,blushing profusely.
Paayal: You're right,di!
Khushi(excited): Jiji!
She runs upto her & hugs her.
Paayal(pats her back): Careful!
Khushi: Areh,I forgot! (breaks the hug) How are you? (pats her tummy)And how's the baby?
Paayal: Both of us are fine. How was Paris?
Khushi: Didnt I tell you on the phone? Paris is beautiful! So neat & clean! and.. (whispers)I'll tell you everything else in detail, later on!
Paayal(smiles): Okay.
Khushi: And I want to know the details of..(whispers)your Gulmarg visit!
Paayal hushes her up as Arnav walks towards her.
Arnav: How are you?
Paayal: I'm fine. How are you?
Arnav: I'm fine as well! Is the baby fine? What did the dr say?
Paayal: She said everything is fine.
Arnav walks past her with a nod.
Om Prakash: Namaste Arnav bhaiyya! How are you?
Arnav(nods): I'm fine. Go & keep the luggage in our bedroom.
Om Prakash: Okay bhaiyya.
Khushi(smiles): Namaste Om Prakashji!
OP(smiles): Namaste Khusiji!
Arnav(glares at him): Bhabhi.
OP: a.. I'm sorry,bhaiyya! The last time I was here,she I mean.. you both were unmarried. So.. the moment I saw.. bhabhi, "Khusiji" came out of my mouth!
Khushi: Thats okay! How is everyone at home?
OP: They're fine.
Arnav(holds her hand): Come with me..
He drags with him without giving her a chance to speak properly to OP.
Arnav: Di..
Anjali: Yes Chhotey?
Arnav: We havent slept well last night so.. we're goin to take rest.
Anjali: What about breakfast?
Arnav: We had it in the flight. You'll carry on with the breakfast. And Aakash,I'll join you in office post lunch.
Anjali: Noways! You'll stay at home today! You've just returned from a long journey! On top of that you havent slept well! How will you be able to work in sucha condition?
When Arnav opened his mouth,she shut him up.
Anjali: No means no! I wont listen to anything you say,Chhotey! You'll take rest at home & thats final! And when I say stay at home,it doesnt mean that you'll switch on your laptop & start working from home! Allow your laptop to take rest as well!
Arnav: Okay!
Anjali was surprised when he agreed without any argument.
Arnav: Can I leave now?
Anjali: Yes. I'll send your coffee and Khushiji's tea to your room.
Arnav: No,let it be! I.. I mean once we we wake up,we'll come downstairs to have tea-coffee.
Anjali: Okay!
Arnav: Come Khushi..
Holding her hand,he walked with her towards the staircase.
When they reached the lowermost step,Khushi's eyes immediately turned towards Arnav.
When he cocked an eyebrow she whispered: Dont even think about it! I'll climb the stairs on my own!
Arnav: Fine.
He sped up the stairs & reached their bedroom much before she did.
Khushi(thinks): Hey Devi Maiyya! Why am I finding it so difficult to climb the stairs today? Are my knees.. (shakes her head) No,no! Nothing has happened to my knees! I will get used to climbing the stairs in a few days. And then my knees wont give me any trouble! Right now I badly need to take rest.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Arnav threw his waistcoat on the recliner the moment he entered the bedroom.
He had removed the tie & the coat soon after they'd got inside the car.
Arnav(opens the topmost button of his shirt): I guess I should wait for a minute or 2 or else she'll say "You pounced on me the moment I came inside the room!"
He was pacing across the room restlessly when he heard her footsteps.
A smile appeared on his lips as the windchime announced her arrival.
Khushi(faint smile): I'm so glad that di did not allow you to go to office today! 
Arnav(smirks): I'm equally glad!
Khushi(relieved smile): Now we'll be able to sleep peacefully for a long time!
The smile disappeared from his face instantly.
Khushi(holding her waist): I was getting cramps in my waist ever since I lay down on the flight seat. Listen..
Arnav: hmm? w.. what?
Khushi: Please apply some spray on my waist.. 
Arnav: a.. ya,sure! Wont you.. change first?
Khushi: Right. I'll just change into something comfortable..
Arnav banged his fist on the cupboard after she went inside the bathroom.
Khushi(from inside): What happened?
Arnav: Nothin'! The.. drawer got stuck..
Khushi: Okay..
Arnav(thinks): Oh man! What am I goin to do now?! I jus'.. (takes a deep breath) I need to control myself. Control,Arnav Singh Raizada! You're bout to apply the pain relieving spray on her waist! You cant loose control right now! Jus'.. jus' calm down,okay?
The more he tried to tame his sexual urge the more he lost his cool.
Khushi wrongly attributed his crankyness to the fact that he had not slept well.
Khushi: You'll feel better if you lie down for an hour or two..
Arnav: Noways! I'm gonna hav a bath right now. You go to sleep.. Aur please dont wait till I'm back!
Khushi: Okay.
Arnav: And lie down on the middle of the bed coz I'm gonna sleep on the recliner.
Khushi's ears perked up when she heard that.
Khushi: Recliner? But why?
Arnav was about to leave for the bathroom without answering when she called him.
Arnav: Now what?
Khushi: Why do I feel that.. you're planning to sleep on the recliner because you want to.. stay away from me?
Arnav chose to remain silent.
Khushi(getting up): You.. wanted to make love?
Arnav(sighs): Jus' go to sleep,Khushi. And dont move too much or the cramps will get worse.
Khushi: Why didnt you tell me,honey? Had I known.. I wouldnt have asked you to apply the spray. I mean.. you couldve applied it later on.
Arnav: But then... after that, your waist wouldve given you a hard time. Thats why I.. didnt say anythin'.
Khushi: Please come here..
Arnav: Why?
Khushi: I have a plan- What if.. both of us lie down for an hour or so? My waist will feel better by that time & we'll also catch some much needed sleep. Once we're up, we can..
Arnav: Are you sure?
Khushi: Absolutely! So please set an alarm in your mobile. And stop fidgeting! Its only a question of 1 hour so be patient! (smiles)Havent you heard that Hindi saying? Sabar ka phal meetha hota hai! (The fruit of patience is sweet.)
Arnav got the sweet fruit of his long wait when they finally made love after 2 hours.
Yes, 2 hours coz during the first hour Khushi kept tapping on the snooze option everytime the alarm rang.
It was only afte the cellphone fell down on the floor that Arnav woke up.
Khushi: sorry! It.. slipped from my hand.
Arnav(moving on top of her): Thats okay!
Khushi: Areh!? Pick up the phone na..
Arnav(moving her left hand aside): I'll pick it up later. I anyways dont need it right now!
He pressed his mouth firmly on hers before she could utter another word.
Their clothes & her mangalsutra soon found themselves on the carpet.
Khushi hissed as he parted her thighs.
Arnav: What happened?
Khushi: Nothing.
Arnav: Sure?
Khushi: hmm! Now please dont ask too many questions! You & me both want the same thing! so just.. finish your job quickly..
Arnav(grins): Who is fidgeting right now?
Khushi: Honey... pleassseee!
Arnav groaned as he positioned himself at her entrance.
The room was filled with moans & sighs as he buried his length inside her.
Khushi forgot where she was & screamed out when she reached the peak.
Arnav smiled as he kissed her swollen bud.
Arnav: Once more?
Khushi nodded while wiping sweat off her forehead.
This time they finished(and screamed) together.
An exhausted Arnav lay down on top of her.
Khushi cupped his cheek before he lay his head on her shoulder.
Khushi: Are you feeling better now?
Arnav: Totally! And you?
Khushi(blushes): So am I! Shall we.. go downstairs?
Arnav: Whats the rush?
He lifted his head & lowered his mouth to one of her nipples.
Khushi: Everybody must be waiting for us..
Arnav sighed as he kissed her hard nipples before disentangling himself from her.
Arnav: Dont sit down to chat with everyone once the program gets over tonight. Otherwise I wont wait for you!
Khushi(gets up): What do you mean?
Arnav: I'll come downstairs,take you in my arms in front of everyone & walk off to our bedroom! You know the rest!
Khushi: Alright. I wont make you wait tonight. But please dont get up from your seat before the program is over!
Arnav(nods): Okay.
Khushi: Atleast pick up your phone now.
Arnav: Yes,baby! Jus' relax!
Khushi: And listen..
Arnav(picks up the phone): Yeah,tell me?
Khushi: I'm going to have a bath. If you're interested in.. bathing with me,you better come inside within 2 minutes! If not,you have your bath alone once I'm through!
Arnav dumped the phone on the bed before joining her inside the bathroom.

*Later that afternoon*
As the Raizadas' gathered around the dining table for lunch,Anjali took the chair next to Arnav's.
Anjali(smiles): Today I've made everything which you & Khushiji like! So I'm goin to feed you,Chhotey!
Arnav's eyes instantly went to Khushi who sat down on the chair opposite him.
This did not go unnoticed by Anjali.
Anjali: a.. Khushiji,why dont you come over here with your plate? I'll feed you as well! 
Khushi(smiles): Okay.
Since Aakash was seated on Arnav's left,Khushi took her chair to the other side of the table & placed it behind Anjali's chair.
Khushi: Sorry di! You need to turn everytime you want to feed me.
Anjali: Thats okay!
She fed 1 morsel to Arnav & the next to Khushi.
Anjali: How's the food?
Arnav: You've prepared it,di! There's no need to ask this question! Its delicious!
Khushi: Really! Everything is so tasty!
Anjali(feeds her): Thank you!
She was about to feed Arnav when he held her hand to stop her.
Arnav: Is it necessary for you to feed me everytime?
Khushi's heart skipped a beat when he said that.
Arnav: I can also feed you,right?
He directed the morsel towards her mouth.
Anjali smiled as she ate it from his hand.
Arnav: You let it be,di. (pulls her plate closer)I'll feed you today!
He frowned when Anjali tore a piece of paratha & dipped it in the dal.
Arnav: Di,I said..
Anjali(interrupts): I heard that! But this 1 is for Khushiji!
She turned around & fed Khushi.
Arnav: Thats a nice idea,di! (feeds her)We'll feed each other in rounds-I'll feed you,you feed Khushi & Khushi will feed me!
Anjali(clueless): I dont mind! here you go, Khushiji..
Khushi ate what she offered before extending her hand towards Arnav who had already turned towards her.
She hissed when he bit the tip of her finger.
Anjali(turning to her): What happened?
Khushi: ch.. chilli.
Anjali: Oh no! Wait,I'll give you some water.
After gulping down the water,Khushi turned to Anjali.
Khushi: Thats is not fair,di!
Anjali: What.. whats not fair?
Khushi: You are feeding ho..
She checked herself just in time before the 'ney' came out of her mouth.
Khushi: h.. him.. then you are feeding me. And now.. even he's feeding you but I never got a chance to feed you! So we should do an anticlockwise round as well na? I mean once.. he feeds you,you feed me & I feed him,then I'll feed you,you feed.. him &.. he'll feed me!
Anjali: Okay,we'll do it alternately! So now its your turn to feed me..
When his turn came,Arnav looked into Khushi's eyes as his fingers touched her mouth.
Khushi blinked back tears as she recalled how they would feed each other while they were in Paris.
Arnav slightly shook his head before tearing his gaze away from her.
Nani: Khushi bitiya..
Khushi(peeks over Anjali's shoulder): Yes naniji?
Nani: I was about to ask you this morning as to why you're not wearing your nosering? But then I thought that you mustve taken it off before traveling. But now I see that you're wearing your mother-in-law's bangles but your nosering is still missing. Why is it so?
Khushi: umm.. naniji.. my nosering..
Nani: What happened? Did you.. lose it in Paris?
Khushi: No naniji! I have it but.. since it was hurting me I.. took it off.
Nani: In that case you should get a new nosering for yourself. Its a symbol of your wedding. Once your nose is pierced,you shouldnt stay without a nosering. Its not good.
Arnav: All that is nonsense,nani!
Nani: Might be for you, Chhotey! But its holds some meaning & importance for me!
Khushi: I understand what you're saying,naniji.
Nani: Bitiya,why dont you wear 1 of Manorama's noserings until you get a new 1 for yourself?
Mami: Mine?
Nani: Yes,yours. You have tons of noserings! You can surely lend 1 to Khushi bitiya for sometime.
Arnav took one look at mamiji's huge nosering before turning towards nani.
Arnav: All that is not required,nani!
Nani(frowns): What do you mean?
Arnav: I mean.. I'm goin out for some work post lunch. I'll take Khushi along. We'll stop at a jewellery showroom on the way & I'll buy a new nosering for her today itself.
Nani(pleased): That'd be wonderful,Chhotey! Do take her along!
And so Arnav took Khushi to a famous,diamond jewellery store post lunch.
From there,he bought a small,heart shaped nosering for her.
Arnav(getting inside the SUV): Like it?
Khushi(strapping her seatbelt): Yes,I do. But.. its a bit.. small.
Arnav(strapping his seatbelt): Dont worry bout that! It'll shine so much that everyone will be able to spot it even from a great distancei! And the best part-its edges arent sharp! So.. (smirks)niether will it hurt you nor will it hurt me!
Khushi wanted to glare at him but she could not stand the heat in his eyes so she had to lower her gaze.
Khushi: Shall we leave now?
Arnav(starting the car): Sure! BTW,any idea bout this evenin's function? I mean bout who's doin what?
Khushi: I'm dying to know that! (disappointed) But nobody told me anything! They didnt even give me a small hint!
Arnav: Di was also sayin that its gonna be a surprise. I jus' hope that the program gets over well within the time.
Khushi: Ya.. You will go for a jog tomorrow morning,wont you?
Arnav: Yes,I will. But I need to take you to the temple after joggin' & before goin to office.
Khushi(surprised): You mean.. you're goin to fulfill my mannat tomorrow itself?
Arnav: Yup! Tomorrow we'll take care of the mannat & day after we'll take care of your wish!
Khushi(confused): My wish?
Arnav(nods): You wish to visit,eat at & shop from the Chandni chowk market!
He turned towards her to find a grin on her face.
Khushi: I had no idea that you would fulfill my mannat & wish so soon!
Arnav: I have to coz we need to fulfill your unfulfilled,long pendin' wishes durin' the course of the next weekend. So we need to cover your mannat & Chadni Chowk in this weekend.
Khushi: So we'll be going to.. Lucknow on next Sunday?
Arnav(shakes his head): We'll leave late on the night of next Friday or.. early Saturday mornin'. Its your birthday on Sunday. And I want you to spend your entire birthday,every single minute of it,in your house!
Khushi: You know what I feel like doing?
Arnav: Yeah,I know! You feel like givin me a hug. Am I right?
Khushi: Hmmm.. I feel like giving you a tight hug!
Arnav: We'll fulfill this wish as soon as we reach home!
Khushi: I knew it! (sighs) First I thought I wont be able to wait for this evening's program. But now I feel like I wont be able to wait until next Sunday! I'm sure you're planning a surprise for my birthday!
Arnav(taking a turn): Obviously!
Khushi: I've already seen your gift. (excited)Now I'm waiting for your surprise!
Had she known that even Devi Maiyya was planning a birthday surprise for her,Khushi's excitement would have known no bounds.
But,inspired by the Raizadas', Devi Maiyya decided that this time, She would not give Khushi any indication about Her divine plans!
