READY
Khushi checked herself one last time in the mirror. Arnav hugged her from behind.
"Something is missing..." he said, looking at her through the mirror.
She tossed her head slightly asking him what he was talking about. She suddenly felt his fingers tickling her belly making her laugh weakly.
"Now you look perfect!" he replied placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head and he walked out of the room towards the main door.
"Where are you going now?" asked Khushi trying to catch up with him. "We are already getting late!"
But Arnav was already unlocking the car door. "Be back in twenty!" he told her as he drove off.
"But Arnav..." Khushi's words dissolved into the air.

She was angry. Why did he have to leave now? She was already so tensed. She wanted him with her, every minute, every moment. Softly holding her mangalsutra, she closed her eyes to calm her thudding heart down. The only wish she had at the moment was to see Arnav back soon. After twenty-two minutes, she heard their car being parked in front of the door. Her eyes welled up as she angrily opened the door even before Arnav rang the door bell.
"Where the hell had you bee..." her jaw dropped seeing a bald Arnav standing in front of her. She was shocked. He had gone to get his head shaved?! She just kept staring at him in disbelief.
"I had just gone to get ready..." he winked at her.
Khushi covered her mouth with her palms as tears made way down her cheeks. Arnav took her in his embrace and together they walked towards the car to head for her first chemotherapy session.
