Part 21

"Theek hai Chhote, hum chalte hain. Take care of Khushi and the babies. I will send your dinner with HP." Anjali kissed the babies and stood off the bed. "Aryan come"

Aryan jumped off the couch and walked towards his mother, his eyes fixed on his Mamu.

Arnav narrowed his eyes at his Nephew, whose eyes were glaring at him from hours now.

"You promised me!" The sudden voiced boomed in the otherwise silent room.

"Later" Arnav said nonchalantly, and shifting his gaze to his babies he smiled at the sleeping cute bundles.

"Lair lair pant of fire! Lair lair pant on fire!" Aryan chanted as he ran towards his Mamu, who sat on a stool near the bed, and started smacking his back with his tiny fist. "Lair lair .."

"Pant on fire..I get it " Arnav completed for his nephew, least affected by his smacking.

Anjali chuckled and picked her Son.

"Aryan, sweetheart lets call it a day. We will come back tomorrow and I am sure he will allow you to pick the babies, hmm?" Anjali kissed his forehead.

"But he told me he will allow me to pick his babies. He lied to me!" Aryan glared at his Mamu.

"I know, sweetheart. Let it be, I promise to let you pick the babies tomorrow, OK?"

"You cannot promise for my babies, Di!" Arnav interrupted Mother-Son's sweet convo.

"I am their Bua, so I can, Chhote." She fixed his Brother with her glare and then looked at her Son. "Now we should get going, Aryan."

Aryan nodded at his Mother and circling his arms around his Mother's neck, he rested his head on her shoulder.

After having the dinner sent by his Di, Arnav sat on the stool, looking at sleeping Khushi and the babies. His sleep infused eyes drooping close, but he held it open, not wanting to miss any of their movement.

Khushi opened her eyes to rest on her sleeping babies. A smile paved its way on her lips. She stretched her hands out to touch her babies. Shifting close to them, she tucked them properly inside the blanket. She was about to close her eyes again when her eyes fell on him, his eyes fixed on her babies.

"You can sleep on the sofa" came her weak voice.

Startled by the sudden voice, Arnav looked at Khushi, and then at the sofa. From there he can't keep a watch on them.

"No.. I am fine .. "

Khushi looked at him, his eyes drooping close, face tired, clearly not rested from last 2 days. Shifting towards the edge, she also shifted the babies close to her, making space for one more person on the large bed.

Arnav looked at the space in front of him and then at Khushi. Passing a small smile at her, he slipped in the space made for him. "Thank you"Arnav said before giving in the slumber, which hit his eyes as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Khushi kept staring at him. She don't know what to make out of this man. From the last 7 months all she saw in his eyes was detest for her babies, running away from the mere existence of them. And now he is not even ready to leave their side for a second. Which one is real? The one she has seen in the last 7 months , or the one she is seeing now? The one who use to look at her stomach with disgust , or the one who now looks at her babies with world of love in his eyes?

She don't know anything. She can never understand this man. She had never understood him back then, she can never understand him now. All she had ever known about him, and was sure of, was his obsession with her. In his mad obsession, he had loved her, hurt her, misunderstood her, threatened her, begged her, pleaded her, prayed for her, had done everything a man like him can do. She had seen so many shades of this man that now its difficult to decipher which is his real shade.

She closed her hurting eyes, blocking all the running thoughts. She don't know what to do. When had her life ever worked in harmony with her plans? All she wants now is to look after her babies, take care of them, love them, live only and only for them. With that last thought, she kept her hand over her babies and gave into oblivion.

"Doctor said they will have to keep you here for few more days, Khushi." Arnav said as he entered the room and sat on the bed near his sleeping babies.

Khushi looked at the white wall, the pungent smell of the hospital suffocating her. She don't want to live here. Her head turned to her left as she felt a warm touch on her hand.

"Don't worry , you will be shifted to other room. There you will not feel like you are in some hospital." Arnav promised. He is aware how much she dislikes hospitals. And so he has arranged a more lavish room than the one she was already in.

Khushi nodded her head. "Thank you" She really hated hospital, and was glad she will get rid of it soon.

Arnav looked down at her beautiful face. Shifting close to her, he leaned over her. "You are welcome." He said softly, his eyes lingering on her sweet face. "And you are beautiful" Taking a fluttering strand, he tucked it behind her ear. He leaned more and caressed her cheek with the tip of his nose, making her shudder. "I am so proud of you. " he whispered against her cheek and opened his eyes to look into her misted one. "Rudra will be so proud of you." he said and saw a tear coming out of her eyes and getting lost in her cloudy hair, making his heart squeeze painfully. "You are so tiny, how did you manage to keep this two bundles inside your tummy?" Arnav quipped, wanting to lighten her mood. But instead he saw more tears spilling out. Wiping her tears, he placed a soft kiss at the corner of her lips. "Try to walk, Khushi...I promise to be always there to break your fall. Your pinky promise, no ramanchi ...promise.."

"I...I don't ..." The further words died on her quivering lips as she heard her baby boy cry.

Arnav sat straight and looked at the babies.

"This time our baby boy is crying." Arnav smiled before picking him in his arms.

"shhh...shhh...don't cry ..You will wake up your sister, and mind you, she wails louder than you" Arnav kissed his baby and stood off the bed. "Hungry, hmm?" He went and sat beside Khushi.

Khushi pushed herself in a sitting position . "Give him to me, I can manage." Khushi opened her arms.

Arnav looked at the Glucose tube and then at the needle poked at the back of her palm.

"No Khushi, let me hold him for you. Doctor had advised you to not lift anything. And please don't start arguing." Not giving her a chance to say anything, he took her in his arms.

"I will check my mails while you feed him, OK?" Holding his boy with one arm, he removed his cell with other and flashed in front of her. "Peace?"

Khushi looked down at her baby. Her hand lifted to caress his soft hair. The cute bundle putting a smile on her dry lips. Unbuttoning the gown, she brought the baby close to her chest, feeding her hungry baby.

Arnav kept his cell in his pocket after going through all the mails and looked down to see Khushi's head lolling on his shoulder. Even a small task of feeding the babies tires her out. His concern eyes lingered on her pale face. He kissed her hair. Keeping his sleeping baby back on the bed, he caught Khushi's arms and stood off the bed. Resting her back on the bed, he kissed her forehead and walked across the bed to sit beside his babies. Bending, he rested his elbows on the bed and cupped his face between his palm, staring at the babies. And as he kept staring, to his pure delight, he saw two beautiful eyes fluttering and then opening to rest at him. Her two gorgeous eyes fixed at him, unblinking.

Arnav shifted and leaned over her, mesmerized by her lovely eyes. "Hi, darling. Good morning." He whispered in a oh-so soft voice. "Slept well? I hope you are not hungry. Your Mamma slept again after feeding your brother, let her rest for a while." He smiled at her, who just kept staring at him in return. "We can talk till then." Caressing her cheek, he dropped a kiss on her forehead. "I hope you grow up to look just like your Mamma... She is the most beautiful woman I have ever met. And the strongest too." He looked at Khushi's sleeping form. "But she is very stubborn, I don't like that about her. You don't be stubborn like her." He again shifted his gaze to his daughter and smiled. "And if you ever got mad at me, then please don't punish me by staying quiet. I hate that." He saw her wiggling under the cocoon around her. Getting up from the bed, he picked her up and walked towards the attached balcony.

"Better now?" Cuddling her close to his chest, he stared at her sweet face. "Can you help me, sweetheart? I need it real bad" Resting his back against the fence, he looked inside the room, his eyes resting on his wife. "Your Mamma is upset with me... she doesn't talks to me ..."Looking down at his daughter , he softy kissed her pink lips. "Can you please ask her to forgive me and start talking to me again? That will be a great help, darling" He rubbed his cheek against hers as he hugged her close. "I want the old Khushi back--always scolding me, trying to infuse manners in me," He swallowed the big lump in his throat. Titling his head down little, he looked at his daughter. "Will you help me, sweetheart?" Arnav asked, and in return he heard his daughter purr softly and cuddle more into his arms. He chuckled softly and kissed her hair. "Thank you .."

Hope you all liked it!

ASR to Arnav.. loving this new guy and his babies..
