Now this update is a mix, in my opinion, it goes from steamy to a pressure cooker situation. I know the last portion is what sticks to the mind but do let me know what you think of it as a whole 😊
Warning: Maybe bit of a shocker at the end

Part 24 ' Love and its After effects
Sometime later in the night, or very early in the morning, Khushi opened her eyes slowly and looked around to check where she was. Soft moonbeams had quietly crept in through the slits between the curtains and now were all over the room. A smile adorned her face as red color flooded over it, her eye lids fluttered trying to conceal the images that flashed through her mind. Her senses became alive to the soft crumpled sheets beneath her and around her, the air laced with his cologne, the soft sound of his even breathing behind her and the feel of its warmth on her. A tingling current rushed through the length of her body and in response she just snuggled closer to Arnav who had his arms wrapped firmly around her. Her touch was feather as she brushed her hand down the soft hair on his arm, turned her head slightly to place a smiling, light kiss on it. Shifting her weight carefully, Khushi turned slightly and let her eyes rove over the contours of his face. Her smile widening and the glow in her eyes turning amber as her finger went from his temple to the jaw line, from the chin to his lips for a short stopover before it traveled to his eyes.
The sun of her universe came out as he slowly raised his eyelids. His eyes were her Sun that fuelled the all too familiar tug at her heart and its humdrum, the dance of butterflies in her stomach, the quivers that she felt every time he looked at her. A second later, she found herself crushed against his chest as his lips rested on her hair briefly, a twist and turn later she was looking down into his eyes, her hands on his chest listening to the music his heart created, skin against skin, their toes playing with each other. This time it was his finger that journeyed from her temple to tuck a few strands behind her ear and then followed the jaw line to her chin where it forced it up to bring her lips closer to his to start the day with a kiss before he whispered to her lips, "Love you!"
Swallowing the lump that formed in her throat, she turned her head away, batting her eyelids to stop the tears from spilling over. A couple of seconds later, taking a deep breath, she looked him straight in the eyes that had been asking her one question only and said, "I still don't know why but I love you, maybe it's the past few weeks, but I love you, I am still undecided on coming back to you, living with you but'. I love you," as his heartbeat beneath her fingers went up every time she answered the question.
Arnav let go of the breath he had been holding on to and turned to pin her down beneath him. Words had failed him the first time she had said what he had been waiting to know, and now all he could do was show her what he felt. His lips found every contour of her face while his hands moved over her as a sculptor's would, over every curve and swell, alighting a fire that engulfed the two souls as their bodies met in that age old ritual that personified love.
Once, twice, thrice
He showed it as many times
Ending with a sigh
"I love you and know why!"
And, that set the pattern of their days and their nights to come. Sometimes just sleeping together, fingers intertwined, or in each other's arms, at times his chest pillowed her head and other times his head rested on hers. Some nights were painted red with their passion as they lost themselves into each other. Their days filled with texts, calls and dates like those of teenagers first time in love, discovering each other, talking to each other, listening to each other, on their way to becoming life partners.
Armaan straightened as he saw Khushi coming through the corridor, her face sporting a beaming smile, her steps cheerful as she almost hop and skipped her way behind her desk.
"ummm Ridhimma what's a live in relationship?" Armaan turned towards Ridhimma with a straight face.
Ridhimma laughed and asked, "You! You of all people don't know what that is! Now that's news!"
"I thought I knew, but I am confused now!" he said with his face covered with mock confusion, "Two of my friends are married, they apparently love each other, they don't live together technically, yet they live together," he completed throwing up his hands feigning frustration and almost immediately got hit by a crumpled paper missile.
"Shut up!" Khushi said with a warning, "or else'."
"Ohhh I am frightened!" he said in a teasing tone, "What will you do? Hang me? Report me to Dr. Kirti? Haan? What?"
Khushi didn't say anything and quickly turned towards her work as Dr. Kirti cleared her throat right behind Armaan whose eyes first widened and then bulged out as ideas shot through his mind on how to survive this encounter. Scratching his head, without turning around he looked at the duty roster and said, "Ohk I am posted in the children's ward today, bye Khushi see you!" and scampered off as quickly as possible.
Khushi's smiled widened a bit more as she handed over Ridhimma's file to her.
"How are you?" Ridhimma asked her smilingly looking at how rosy Khushi looked these days.
"Happy!" Khushi replied simply, "though a bit fatigued, I don't know why."
"Hmm maybe you are not getting enough sleep!" Ridhimma waggled her eyebrows.
"Ridhimma! So Armaan's influence has rubbed on you also!" Khushi said exasperatedly as Ridhimma walked away smiling.
Sitting down, with the corners of her mouth curling up in a smile, Khushi went over the last couple of weeks. And on these days that had melted away like ice on a hot day, she had woken up as fresh as a rose on an early winter morning, walked with a spring in her steps, beamed smiles at everyone, hummed through her work. But she was still undecided! Whenever she thought about it, her heart constricted and her mind went fuzzy till she could think no more.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringtone and Sister Lovely was not surprised when she saw Khushi's smile widen as she stared lovingly at her cell before answering the call.
"Hi!" came the gravelly greeting.
"Hi" went the soft and shy reply.
Her smile faltered as she heard him say, "Armaan will drop you off at the apartment today after work," but soon returned when he said "I'll come by 8, some urgent meeting came up. No need to cook, I'll bring something to eat, Okay?"
"yes," she said as her head too went up and down.
Arnav tried to turn the key in the door with one hand while in the other he was barely holding on to his laptop and their dinner. He almost had it when the door opened and he found himself looking into Khushi's red rimmed eyes and was welcomed by a sniff as she finished the banana in her hand.
"Khushi what'.." he started, but was met by Khushi's, "Here let me help you," as she took his laptop from him and turned around. Following her, he went into the living area and placed the bags on the coffee table and quickly checked the time.
"Khushi, I am only 15 minutes late," he said with an apologetic tone.
"I know, so?" she asked, her face carrying a surprised look.
"How was work?" he tried again cautiously.
"ummm good as usual! Why are you asking?" Khushi picked up the bags and headed for the kitchen and Arnav went after her.
"How was your meeting? Did poor Aman get grilled today as well?" she chattered away while Arnav watched her, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"Khushi just tell me, what happened?" he cut her babble off.
"Whaaat? Nothing happened? What happened?" Khushi was totally confused by then.
"You! You have been crying! Why?" he asked coming closer but stopped when a she guffawed quite unceremoniously.
"I was watching Devdas to pass my time! I always cry when I watch it!" she said while munching on an apple.
Arnav rolled his eyes as he laid out the plates and glasses, while Khushi set the food on the table.
"I hope you like what I have chosen tonight!" Arnav said opening the boxes.
The strong aroma of rich Italian pasta wafted through the air. While Arnav took inhaled hungrily, Khushi's face skewed up and she gagged. Swallowing in the feeling she tried to relax and dished out some of it in her plate but as she raised the spoon to her mouth she again retched. The spoon fell on the plate with a clang as she ran off to the washroom. Arnav sat frozen in his chair, his hand holding the spoon had stopped in mid-air on its way to his mouth. It took him a couple of seconds to recover from the shock of what had just happened, a thousand and one thoughts flashed through his mind as he started to panic. Banging the spoon on his plate he dashed towards his room and waited for Khushi to come out of the washroom. He started to pace across the room but when the noises from inside didn't stop he walked in.
She was bent over the sink, holding on to the counter with one hand and the other covered her mouth.
"I'll be right outside! I am sorry, I don't know what happened, the smell was so strong!" she said already tired. Arnav stood rooted, waiting, she hadn't realized, he knew but he was afraid what he suspected might be it. And just then realization hit him, the first two times had been totally spontaneous, he hadn't been prepared and he hadn't even thought about protection. His heart fell into the pit of his stomach with a thud as a low feeling took over. He went out, slowly, feet heavy, face ashen and slumped on the bed. He covered his face with his hand as he inwardly cursed himself for being so careless, so irresponsible.
He looked up as he heard the shuffling of her feet, she had washed her face and some of its color had returned but some paleness had lingered. She lowered herself and sat next to him, " I am fine, why do you look so worried?" she asked.
He shook his head and turned to her,
"Have you had headaches recently?" he asked
She nodded thinking about all the Tylenols she had consumed.
"Have you felt tired and lethargic?"
Again a nod.
Rubbing his temple he thought about how to ask the next question, however, his brain wasn't functioning right so asked forthrightly, "Ummm When did you last have your ummm periods?"
"What!"
"Just answer me please!"
She went into deep thought as she did a few calculations and then looked at him with a snap, "more than 40 days ago, and I have never missed my cycle," she stopped at once as her brain began to work.
He stood up swiftly, "I'll be back in some time! Lie down and rest," he ruffled her hair managing a weak smile as he went out.
Some ten minutes later he walked into the bedroom to find her in the same position as he had left her. Walking slowly towards her he handed her the packet saying, "Take this and do the test."
