ArHi FF: Check Mate! (completed) - Page 29

It has been a week after that and Arnav was back at home after a tiring day at office. He had changed his dress and was picking up his laptop to finish his pending tasks.

"Have your dinner first" He looked up to see Kushi smiling at him, carrying a tray in her hands.

They both slowly started to act normally around eachother, there was no ackwardness anymore nor was any romance in air. To their surprise, they discovered that they both could get along very well in each others company, there was bickering all the time, alright. but that was something that they had accepted to be a vital part of their relationship.

she layed the tray on his stool, moving aside his laptop and file.

She then saw a box laid at the bed, curiosity overcoming her, she too it in hand

Arnav nodded.

she also strode of angrily.
But was back after a few minutes... draping the saree that her had bought her, the first saree that he had bought her... She stood silently beside him, but he pretended not to see her. She silently placed the dinner tray beside him.
"you havent taken your dinner still"
"I dont need it"
"dont punish your hunger for my sake"
"I dont care a damn about you or.." He looked at her angrily, but stopped short of words.
"how is it? " she asked, breaking into a smile "you know what... You were right.. it fits" she told him sitting beside him in the recliner by the pool "Perfect fit" she mimiced him
He looked the other way, biting back a smile which was creeping in. She simply took his hands in hers.

"How was the day?" He didnt reply first."I told I am sorr..."
"very tiring! things didnt seem to click and I was in a foul mood throughout..."
"then it means that you had a normal day" she chuckled, while he stared at her."but you seem to be in one of your rare good mood now.. I mean atleast you were before I spoiled it."
"we won a deal by the end of the day"
"oh ok.."
"So how was yours? My sister made your day tough?"
"no actually I think it was the other way around..."
"I thought you told you were annoyed with my sis"
"I was... First I was telling her to leave Shyam but then she was not responding at all, I was going back to square one...then I told her Ashok ji would be a better life partner for her. She lost her temper"
"You told her what?"
"Look, thats the fact. She will be better off with Ashok Ji"
"Kushi, why do you always think everything should end like a fairy tale? I only told you to work on convincing her to agree for divorce... We should not force her into another relationship just because... I mean, its her choice"
"I am not forcing her... I was just suggesting... and now she is not talking with me... and Ashok ji called... It seems she blasted him for planting ideas like this into our minds...He innocently asked what happened"
