A birthday surprise!
"Khushiji, aapko yaad to hai na agle hafte chote ka janamdin hai..humne socha hai ki iss baar hum unhe ek accha sa surprise denge, akhir shaadi k baad unka pehla birthday hai." Anjali said, happiness beaming all over face.
Khushi faked a smile.She had a huge fight with Arnav the last night relating to shyam. Last night's fight had made her conclude that there was something that Arnav was hiding from her about shyam. She guessed the reason of him forcing her into marriage was somehow related to that evil shyam. She was in no mood to help out in the preparations of Arnav's birthday but she had to do it.
The week passed by in arranging things, booking hotel, shopping and getting gifts for Arnav. Khushi had brought him a white shirt, her favourite one. She had spent her savings from the lunch service to buy him a gift. She herself didnt have any explanation as to why she bought him a gift though she hated him. "Hated him." the words lingered in her mind. Did she actually hate?
A day before Arnav's birthday everyone was gathered at the dining table, ready for dinner. Khushi and Payal served everyone and then themselves sat down. Khushi-Arnav were still not on healthy terms owing to last week's fight. She had tried hard to get him to confess the reason of their marriage and that had irked him further. One thing she had been sure, Shyam had to do something with their marriage. And one thing he was sure, He knew only half the truth and that the puzzle had more pieces to go. Khushi's behaviour with Shyam throughout the
week had been insulting. He also once saw khushi throwing shyam out of their room and saying that it was hers and arnav's room and he had no right to be there. But the evils in his mind had not accepted that khushi was innocent.
Dinner ended, and Arnav climbed upto his room. He had actually forgotten about his birthday because of the numerous tensions he was going through. The remaining everyone also returned. The secret of the party was still a secret to Arnav.
Khushi returned to their room and saw him working on his laptop. He lifted his gaze to meet hers but she looked away immediately. She had decided to be awake till 12 in the night to wish him the first. The clock showed 11 and khushi had changed in her night dress. He was still working and told her she could sleep if she wanted because he would be working till late night. She, instead of sleeping or even pretending to, went downstairs and brought him a cup of coffee to refresh him. He was not surprised as he had been used to her taking care of him.
It was just 2 minutes to twelve and Khushi removed a box,wrapped up in red paper, with a beautiful red ribbon covering it. She came with it and held it infront of him. He looked up from his laptop, surprised.
"Happy Birthday" she said, in a very low tone, not meeting his eyes.
"Birthday? Holy! It slipped out of my mind. Thank you." He said.
Arnav opened it and found a brand new white shirt. He liked it very much and thanked Khushi again for it. Both stood for some moments in silence.
Arnav remembered that a few days Khushi had been busy counting her saved money and now realized that she had brought this with her own money.
"Khushi...tumne yeh..mere liye...apne paiso se khareeda?"
Khushi nodded yes.
he lifted her chin up to meet her eyes, "kyun?"
Arnav had already melted from inside and one look into her moist eyes made him realize her innocence. For the first time in his life, he wanted to trust his heart over his brain.On not recieving any response from her, he asked again.
"Kyun khushi, tell me dammit. Kyun tumhe mere dard se dard hota hai? Kyun tum apni mehnat ke paise ek baar bhi soche bina mere par kharch kar deti ho? kyun jab me beemar hota hu tab tum puri raat jaagti ho? Kyun, khushi,kyun?"
Khushi had tears dripping down her cheeks.
"Kyunki hum aapse pyaar karte hai." she said in a very low tone as if confessing to herself only. But he had heard it and now it was his turn to spill some tears. She looked at him and immediately wiped off his tears.
"Arnavji,..a-aap. Please dont cry."she said, wiping his face.
he hugged her tightly and said "I love you too Khushi. i dont know why i was running away from you, why it was getting difficult for me to accept my love for you.
Finally, the moment they had been waiting for was there. They had confessed! They broke their hug and Arnav cupped Khushi's face. He smiled though his tears and so did she. He didnot want to control his desire anymore,
"Tumne mujhe itna accha gift diya hai, return gift to banta hai." Saying this Arnav bent down to kiss her lips but stopped midway as he saw all his family members standing on his room door, half of them had covered their eyes with their hands.
The smiles on their faces made them realize that thankfully they havent heard their previous conversation! They all came inside and wished Arnav his birthday.
"Sorry chote, humne tumhe aur Khushiji ko disturb kiya. humne nahi pata tha ki tum..." Anjali said.
"Aisa kuch nahi hai di.."Arnav said.Khushi was blushing intensely.
"haan, haan, hum jaante hai."anjali said teasingly. Shyam was furious. Arnav had enjoyed the look on his face. They cut the cake and Arnav-Khushi fed each other. As soon as the others left the room,
"Kahaan the hum?" Arnav asked, making khushi blush.
She moved towards the door and locked it. she went towards arnav, cupped his face in her hands and claimed his lips. They started kissing passionately.
"I want you." Arnav said, as he kissed a trail along her collarbone. He then kissed the inside slope of her breast. She arched her back providing him more access.he slowly unzipped her kurta and took it out in one go. She hid herself in his shoulder due to shyness. She picked her up and laid on the bed. He removed his clothes and had only his boxers on. he also helped Khushi remove her salwar.
He unclasped her bra in a go and started moving his hands all over her breasts. he then kissed the very tip of her nipple. Khushi closed her eyes as a shudder ran up her spine.He continued sucking at her flesh into his hot moist mouth.he moved his hand in between her thighs and she shuddered again. He removed the last piece of clothing that covered her body and moved his finger to touch her femininity. One touch and she moaned "Arnav..."
He bent down and traced the path of his fingers with his mouth. She was ecstatic with a feeling that was so new to her. After knowing that she had reached her height, he removed his mouth from between her thighs and asked
" Khushi, Are you ready?"
"yes, Arnav,I wanna be completely yours."
Hearing that he removed his boxers and entered her slowly. He thrusted slowly into her, easing his way further.She moaned as he pulled back and thrust deep. he filled her completely, touching her so deeply that she felt utterly consumed by him. The aftermath contained only the sounds of heavy breathing. His forehead rested next to her right ear and his fingers entangled in her hair. A warm afterglow settled on her flesh and she turned her head and kissed his temple. They didnt realize when they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Khushi had given him his most precious birthday gift. The next day party went out better than planned. Khushi was glowing with Arnav's love and so was he.
