Okay guys I know it is only a small update but i feel like I owe you something at least its been a while.
Chapter 13
He took away her hair grip from her hair for it to fall onto her shoulders and it was then she realized that this wasn't Arnav Singh Raizada evaluating the fashion his artists had come up with it was Arnav Singh Raizada looking upon his wife.
Everything about Khushi spoke, spoke of how hard this was for her, how in love she was with him, how her heart had wished for him over and over again over these two years, her expression, her posture, the way she breathed but her eyes her eyes were indeed the windows to her soul.
" Kya hai hamari ankhon mein joh aap itni gehrayi se dekh rahe hai?" (What is it that you see in my eyes that is taking up so much of you attention ..)
- "Ghussa" (Anger) - he replies
"hmm--?"she says a bit surprised.
"Diktha toh bohot kuch hai par (I see a lot )
in sab mein se ..(but out of it all )
I see your resentment Khushi."
Khushi didn't like that maybe because she knew it was true that in the deepest corner of her heart whether she liked it or not was resentment for him.
Pushing him away a little angrily Khushi puts her hair up again in a bun and walks off making it clear that she did not appreciate his observation.
...
He found a little later sat by the poolside and took a seat beside her. She was still dressed in that saari he had her try on maybe it was time to tell her how beautiful she made it look but sensed that not talking was his safest bet but even him sitting next to her annoyed her. She looked his way a second, his eyes were all warm and cloudy she noticed but then looked away. She wasn't going to explain, but a moment later he was still there beside her and when he didn't leave she could not take it any longer.
"Mann toh karta hai aap ko is pani mein fek doon!" - ("right now I feel like pushing you off into the water!!")- there she said it yes she was angry at him and she gave him the most scariest of faces he had ever seen as they sat beside the poolside .
There was something amusing about too. Something very Khushi about it all that he loved. But she just up and left to his surprise.
He turned around to watch her storm off again but there was nowhere she could go that he wouldn't be able to follow her to.
If Arnavs ecstasy was coffee Khushi's was tea. If she was going anywhere she would be going into the kitchen and he wasn't wrong. There she was making her tea and he had followed her but he was going to keep his distance and stand at his coffee machine.
A glance here and a glance there, both them aware of each other.
Just silence there was apart from the sounds of there respective drink making "Im sorry" he said looking towards her for a moment. His coffee as one would expect was done before her traditional tea.
Kyun, (Why) she said her tone still telling of irritation.
That was okay by him but he needed her to know that he meant that.
"For everything I am sorry.." She didn't reply she just walked off and he followed.
...
They had now returned to the poolside and he took a seat next to her yet again as she watched the water.
He apologized again because he knew there was nothing else he could say that would even be close enough to a fitting answer. She however ignored it again.
He just let her have her say because it was long overdue and for them to start a fresh this was important.
"Ham gussa hai kyun ke aap ne hamare rishte ko fek diya.." ("I'm angry because you just threw away our relationship without giving it a second chance.. ")
"Doh saal guzare hamne aap ke bina." ("I spent two years without you .. ")
.."Aur aap ko hamari akhon me aaj ghussa dikha.. !!!!!" ("and all you see is the anger??!")
How dare he point out the anger when her heart carried so much more.. what about the love, the devotion, the respect despite all the pain he left her with.
Again Arnav only apologized but she was too angry.
Before Khushi could evaporate in her own fury Arnav who had heard every word and heard her heart beating with every shikayad to him the only thing left was to show her that he was apologetic. Shushing her was no easy thing when she was furious and instinct was what he acted on when without warning he took her lips by surprise into a kiss. He had silenced her alright, Khushi could not believe what had just happened as smooth and seductive as he was, this was all so out of the blue for her. The first second it was surprise, the second trying to get to terms with his proximity and the third, the third was simply Khushi convincing her heart not to sway his way.
No matter how affectionate or apologetic this seemed how close she was to giving into his kiss and responding she had to be strong. She maintained the distance by putting her arm out to his chest. Even though her eyes did not match her action and he was willing to go with the look in her eyes over anything else god may have just been on Khushi's side however when he sent a savor in the name of Hp.
In time did they break off, both mature enough to act normal although as they did Arnav used another . I"'m sorry" whilst Hp was now very much present near the poolside feeling like had walked in on something.
Poor Hp just got on with his job announcing why he was disturbing them "Khushi bhabi batche aagayey.." (Khushi bhabhi the children have arrived..)
ji hariprakashji une andar bithayey ham aa rahe hai.. (Have them sit inside I wont be a minute.) They were obviously talking about something he knew nothing about. What children the thought he didn't know about any children.?
She was going to start tutoring children in the evenings she mentioned starting from now and she didn't have time to explain more because she was busy.
She was telling him and not asking him - he liked that, but catering In the day time and tutoring little ones in the evening wasn't that a tad too much but he wouldn't question it.
Khushi seemed like she was on a mission and he would support her with all he could like an ideal husband.
...
Talking of playing the ideal husband ideal husbands also did other more practical things for there wifes than just being supportive and whilst the wife was busy looking after lots of little terrors Arnav was going to cook.
The one dish Arnav Singh Raizada did the best was pasta. He was quite the chef when it came to Italian food. He went about his way in the kitchen with apt and it wasn't long before Arnav realised that he had company. Up until now ASR had never really had to deal with children and so maybe that is why he did not realize how good he was with them. A little girl possibly the age of about 6 or 7 seemed to have strayed away from the poolside where Khushi had gathered the children in a make shift classroom set up. Something told Arnav that this girl rather not be learning what Khushi was teaching and he didn't blame her, he remembered being at school It wasn't fun and this wasn't even school this was parents wanting to get rid of their children for the evening so he sympathized.
The little girl had vibrant blue eyes, pale skin and the cutest of curly brunet locks, one could only smile at such innocence and Arnav did.
He saw the little girls intrigued eyes at what he was up to in the kitchen and asked if she would like to help.
She nodded a yes and he looked around the kitchen to find something the little girl could stand on the reach the counter.
She watched him make pasta dough, and looked intrigued by the machine he put it through and then when he rolled it out she helped him cut out the pieces with a biscuit cutter. They were going to make tortellini he told her not sure she would understand but hey Khushi didn't either and it still went down well (at least the last time he had cooked it for her.)
...
An hour or so later when Khushi finally realized that there was actually one child missing to her make shift class did she Arnav walk in with the little girl. He had a kitchen towel hung over his shoulder and the little girl had speckles of flour upon her.
"Missing one?" He asked her..
She was in fact and it was time for the children to leave so Khushi was glad that she hadn't lost a child on her very first evening of tutoring.
Watching the children leave, Arnav and Khushi both look upon a messy poolside. Little chairs in a bit of a disarray, books and toys.
"How did you get on then?"
She sighed a little it was fine but it took up a lot of energy.
He could see that this meant a lot to her, earning for her parents meant a lot to Khushi and he was proud of her too.
"Tidy up and meet me in the kitchen" he said before walking away. The husband had spoke she thought as she contemplated the nature of his words.
...
As Arnav took out cutlery and glasses for the both, all that was left to do was really for Khushi to arrive and they could eat. The table was laid and it all looked lovely like Nani complimented when she wheeled herself into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
When Nani asked if there was an occasion she had forgotten Arnav said he was apologizing his wife that was all.
Of course Khushi had arrived in that time found it a little embarrassing however Nani only smiled and mentioned that Arnav's grandfather used to cook for her when he had something to apologize for too which made both Arnav and Khushi smile. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Nani had soon left the kitchen to give the couple privacy. The food smelt amazing but she rather he not apologize in front of people like that.
As he walked around the table to pull out her chair she had to tell him to stop that. Not the special treatment.
"This is all nice Arnavji magar aap.. dusro ke samane aisi bate nahin karenge, Nani kya sochti hongi ke ham kaisee patni hai joh apne pati se maafi mangvayey."
(Stop apologizing in front of others what kind of wife must they think I am!, what must nani be thinking! )
"Well you are that sort of wife arn't you.." he said to tease her but she just pulled a face. God he didn't know why but in this moment Khushi was perfect he thought. He was falling for her again.. and he was stupid enough to fall out of love or whatever it was but in this moment as he sat in front of her he could feel himself falling deeper and deeper in love with her. From the way she asked for the salt and pepper to the way she looked at him confused when she caught him staring at her and if he wasn't wrong then she felt the same way about him too.
...
"I'll do the dishes - Koi dekhenga toh kya sochega..!" (I don't want anyone to see you do doing the dishes and me just sitting around.. ) She took to the towel away from him and he wasn't fussed, he sat back down and finished his wine whilst she continued. He could safely begin to think that Khushi in this moment was no longer furious at him.
Meanwhile Khushi at the sink although would not say it was also thinking about him, about them. It was strange this moment, silent but strange and yet comfortable. Maybe that's what being husband and wife was about.
He looked for his phone for a second but realised it was by the sink rather than in his pocket and so as he got up to walk towards the skin behind Khushi he only intended to pick up his phone but from his proximity something in Khushi either acted upon her heart and she kissed his cheek as lingered over her shoulder. Realising only after a moment that it was his phone he was after Khushi apologizes instantly turning around, her eyes filled with embarrassment but also calling out for him.
He wasn't going to let her defy her heart anymore if this is what she wanted. He slipped his arms around her waist then slowly around her shoulders, after which he softly caressed cheek.
It was okay in fact it was more than just okay he said when he kissed her again and this time she responded equally as willingly.
...
Next chapter:
Once she woke up he was going to confess his love to her, he was going ot tell her that this was not just a one off this was him feeling for her and in a way that was more vibrant more meaningful than ever before, to trust him is all he asked.
... When Khushi did open her eyes the next morning, the reality of last night she recalled, she needed a moment to think about it but post that moment Arnav entered. Already in his work attire telling of how late it was he seemed to have gone out to pick up breakfast and he'd bought it straight to their room. Seeing that she was awake he smiled.. walked over to her and kissed gently on the forehead.
Good morning he said as he dropped his keys, listen..I need to tell you something important he said as he took a seat beside her on the bed.
That was okay she thought but she had something to confess to him too..
