Arhi- Their Child (Part 10 on 91, upd 6/8)- Page 50

Part 10

A day later Khushi sat in the comfortable bed of her bedroom flipping through the television channels. Arnav wouldn't let her even get out of bed, he had told her that her only job was to sit in the bed and rest. He had told her that if anything, even if it was a tissue to sneeze, then she would call him and he would give it to her. He had moved his work in the house for the next few days so that he could keep an eye on her. Rather than feeling angry about that, she strangely felt protected...comforted by his presence.

He had been sitting right next to her for the last hour; he hadn't even moved an inch. "You are hovering arnav ji," she wasn't annoyed, but she did love teasing him and she wanted to lighten his mood after everything that had happened.

"I know and I will hover all I want," he said as with a smile. "Arnav ji I really am fine now. I promise if I want anything I will call someone, but you don't have to sit here joined to my hip for the rest of the day. I bet the tv is probably disturbing you, maybe you should go to the office."

"Khushi first of all I have no problem being joined to your hip for the rest of eternity. There is no other place I would rather be at then right here beside you," he said matter of factly.

Khushi took his file away and put it on the night stand, turned off the television. She intertwined their fingers and put her head on his shoulder and just enjoyed being joined at the hip. She might not get another chance like this where she had him all to herself. He pulled her closer and put his head on her forehead.

Ten minutes passed by in silence, but even the silence spoke. It said that they loved each other so much that they didn't even need words. She was so content in that moment that she felt like she could stay like that forever.

"Khushi I need to tell you something," he finally broke the silence. His grave tone implied something serious was about to come'something that she might not want like. "Umm'what is it?"

"This might be hard to listen to Khushi." She pulled her head off of his shoulder and looked up to see his straight lips, and wrinkled eyebrows. "You are scaring me now Arnav ji." He lowered his eyes and said, "Khushi when you first told me you were pregnant, I don't know how to say this so I will just say it, I wasn't exactly happy. I was really scared. I wasn't sure I wanted a child'I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle the responsibility. After what happened with di, I was afraid something might happen to you because you are a bit clumsy. I was just so scared. But I had a lot of time to think since the accident and I realized that I am not scared anymore. It's our child Khushi...my child."

Khushi didn't know what to think. She had known something was wrong, but she wished he had just told her sooner because then she would have understood, and she wouldn't have had all those thoughts.

Looking up at his saddened face, she just wanted to comfort him. "It's okay Arnav ji. I just wish you had told me sooner. I kept thinking you didn't want our baby, but you were just scared."

"I am sorry Khushi."

"Stop it arnav ji. Whatever happened is done...isn't that what you said."

He smiled slightly, "all in the past then. From now on we will just talk about the future."

"You are amazing Khushi. I love you," he said as he hugged her tucking her chin above her head.

"I love you too Arnav ji."

I am ending this...I know you guys wont like that but there really isn't any conflict left and it's pointless to keep writing if there is no story. I know you will want more though, so to make up for it, I will write OS's based on this SS about Khushi's pregnancy... with the whole mood swings and other stuff. I hope that's fine.

lovely ending😃
