PART 9

Khushi was now aware that she was getting attached to him.She wanted to avoid such a situation,so wanted to work from home but there was a huge demand for the sarees designed by her.She was given more numbers of staff by Arnav who were experts in stiching,so that she had to go daily to the office.Anjaly and payal also began to show interest in the same and started accompanying her to the office.Together they planned,designed and executed a specific,unique variety which became so popular among the ladies of the town.Khushi worked day and night and Arnav decided to post her as the managing executive of designer saree section which she vehemently denied.She said:"I'm very thankful to you for the support but I'm mainly a homely person and don't have any intention to be a professional.Please appoint Anjali di in that post, I'll render my sevice happily".Arnav and others tried their level best to persuade her to accept that post but she denied it.She said again:"I may go back home at any time ,when uncle and aunty returns."

Anjali,Khushi and Payal enjoyed every bit of their work and had a really nice time.It was Anjali who drove with the other two to and fro the office.A few days passed by.Arnav couldn't talk to her alone .He was waiting for an opportunity.

Aakash and Payal didn't go for the honeymoon trip and Arnav sent them abroad for two weeks for the same.It was the 3^rd month of their marriage.Anjali and Khushi worked together and tried new designs.

One morning at home, Khushi saw Anjali vomiting. Khushi,Raj and Nani rushed to her side.She was taken to hospital and was confirmed with pregnancy.It was the happiest day in the Raizada house.Raj spent the morning with her and went to the office in the afternoon.Nani went to temple in the evening with Hariprakash.Anjali was resting in her room.When Arnav came home after work ,Khushi served him wit his favourite hot ginger tea and samosa.Khushi felt his eyes on her.He said:Khushi...you are an excellent cook.Thanks for the delicious food.

Khushi:Thank you.

Arnav:Why are you always formal with me?

Khushi:Why do you think so?

Arnav:You are always trying to shrink away from me.

Khushi could not meet his eyes.She very well knew that she would be lost if she looked into those mesmerizing eyes and irresistible smirk.

He went nearer to her.Khushi held her breath

Arnav whispered:khushi..are you afraid of me?

Khushi:No

Arnav:Then why can't you look into my eyes?

He took her trembling hands in his and guided her to the glass window in the open corridor.Arnav parted the curtains and they could see the stars filled sky.

Arnav held her hands and raised it to his lips.His lips touched her skin.She shuddered and drew her hands away.She turned to go.

He called:Khushi..stop please...He caught her hand and made her turn towards him.

Arnav:I want to know more about you.What makes you happy?

She looked into his eyes and said:The happiness of those I love

Arnav:Whom do you love the most?

It was an unexpected question.She was disturbed.

Arnav:Did you lose anyone you loved the most?

She suddenly looked at him with tear filled eyes,muffled a cry and turned round and ran to her room.A very worried,confused Arnav followed her.

He ,for the first time ,entered her room.He saw her sitting on a chair near the table.She rested her head on the table and was crying her heart out.Arnav was totally upset.He called:khushi..I'm sorry,really sorry.He tried to make her sit up.She was crying uncontrollably.

Arnav called:Khushi..please don't cry...He touched her head.She slowly looked up.Her eyes were red.

Arnav:I'm sorry..so sorry...

Khushi said through tears:Please..leave me alone

A very worried Arnav reached his room and closed the door.
