Ssnair: Sorry buddy to keep you waiting so late at night!

As soon she as she heard Roshni make that statement…….

She turned to look at Arnav…….

They both exchanged a look, remembering their hot session in the shower………

She tried very hard to swallow the water but it all came out, making a splash of water……….

Karan asked "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so crazy these days?"

Khushi looked at Arnav, then looked at Jenny, then looked at Karan, and then answered "I am……..I just remembered……." Karan asked her "Are you okay Jalebi?" Before Khushi could reply anything, Arnav interrupted "Yes Khushi, are you okay, what happened?" with a proud smirk on his face……..

Khushi looked at Arnav again, saw his smirk, his smile, his proudness, his penetrating eyes…….

She answered "I am fine, I just remembered something that I shouldn't have" she said while giving Arnav her stern irritating look…….

Karan looked at Khushi…….

Khushi looked at Arnav………

Arnav looked at Khushi……..

"WHAT THE HELL?" they all heard a scream…….

Everyone moved their eyes from whoever they were looking at to see the roar…….

It was Roshni…..

She was staring at Khushi furiously…….

Her top was partially wet from Khushi's splash……..

"You can't even drink water properly? What is wrong with you? You wet my clothes!" screamed Roshni….

Khushi walked to Roshni and said "I am sorry Roshni, it was an accident, I didn't know you were standing there, I am really sorry…….." she said in a very apologetic voice……

Khushi continued "why don't you use the restroom to dry yourself? Come, I will show you to the restroom"

Roshni screamed again "what do you mean dry my clothes? Do you think I am going to wear this for rest of the day? Maybe you would do that, not me!"

Before Khushi could answer to that, Karan replied "Look Ms. Saxena, I am sorry on her behalf, I am sure she didn't mean to do that on purpose, she did apologize, let's not create a scene here, please dry yourself, Jenny please take her to the restroom"

"Just because she apologized doesn't mean that it's fine! She ruined a very expensive outfit of mine, who is going to fix that?"

This time, before Karan could answer Roshni, ASR spoke "Ms. Saxena, let's not create a scene here, especially when Khushi has already said sorry, you can go home if you want, change and go buy yourself a replacement on company's credit card, okay? Now let's just drop it, I am sure she didn't do this on purpose"

Roshni spoke "you would be okay if she splashed water on you?"

Arnav looked at Khushi, then back to Roshni and said "at least you got water on your clothes, not hot burning tea…….I am sure it's more manageable"

Khushi saw her husband, remembering the time when she had thrown hot tea on him because she misunderstood him, she looked at him feeling more sorry than before…….

Roshni replied looking at Khushi "if you have to say something, say in on my face, why do such childish act?" Khushi answered "if I remember correctly, I already said what I wanted to say on your face, I even apologized to you already, and now even your boss told you – go home and change and then replace your EXPENSIVE top with his money, please go, take the day off and enjoy shopping!" Even she didn't know how she managed to say all that in front of everyone……

Everyone was quiet………

Khushi looked at Arnav again, her eyes still apologizing………

Arnav looked at Khushi, with his reassuring eyes………

Karan looked at Khushi, surprised to hear her talk like this………

Roshni continued looking at her EXPENSIVE piece of top……….

Jenny looked at everybody, one by one………

This mere conference room had turned into a high school cafeteria with bunch of teens fighting over something that's not even important……..

Both the men exchanged a similar look, witnessing this argument and agreeing telepathically that this was something they could never relate to……

They both had mutual wonder in their eyes "WOMEN?"

Though they were both on Khushi's side for their own reasons, but still……….

Roshni grabbed her bag and stormed out of the room muttering something that no one could make out or no one wanted to listen to…….

Khushi turned to Arnav and said "I am sorry, I didn't do this on purpose, I would never do this intentionally to anyone, no matter what……."

Arnav just looked at her, how she was sincerely apologizing for something so trivial…….

Karan spoke "Sorry Mr. Raizada, I know Jalebi, she would never do something like that on purpose, I agree Roshni didn't like it, I wouldn't either, but there is no reason for her to react like that, it was clearly an accident"

Arnav replied "It's fine Karan, I know Khushi would never do something like that to anyone, she won't even do something like that to people who actually mistreat her in real, I know that!"

Karan replied "I am glad you are not like Roshni, it's just so hard to deal with her sometimes, professionally and personally, anyway, I have to run for another meeting, please have lunch before you leave and again sorry on Jalebi's behalf, and Jalebi don't forget our meeting with Sharma's in the evening!"

Saying that Karan packed his laptop and left the conference room……….

Khushi sat back on her chair with her palms on her head and told Jenny "Jenny can you please get me a cup of coffee, I am having a severe headache….." Jenny replied "sure ma'am, I will be right back".

As soon as Jenny left, Arnav asked her "Khushi, are you alright?" She stared at him first, then said "I am fine, I can't believe I did that, how can I be so careless, even though it's Roshni, I am not a fan of hers, but still, I am losing my mind……..and Karan is right, I am just acting crazy these days………I am just…….nothing, I am just having a severe headache…….."

Arnav was about to get off his chair to come to Khushi when he heard "DON'T!"

He looked at her, she gave him a dictatorial look and said "please don't come here, I am already losing my mind, you coming any closer to me is not going to do any good, I am already stressed out. I can't believe I can act so unprofessional…….." saying that she massaged her forehead with her right hand……..

He stayed back on his chair knowing exactly that she is in no mood to deal with anything else right now.

She spoke again "and you? You were just sitting there smiling? That wasn't funny! That was bad, and you are doing this to me. You have done this to me in the past and now you are doing this to me all over again. You are just taking over my thoughts, my mind, my……….." She stopped talking…….

She looked at him again and said "I am sorry, I don't know what I am saying. It's just that I have never acted like this since I don't even remember when………..over here people are not used to seeing me like this, I am not like this, my acts here will hurt Karan's reputation, I know that he is very nice and always supportive of me but that doesn't mean that I start acting crazy……….I know you probably think I am clumsy and stuff. Believe me I made myself change, I have worked very hard to change myself, to become who I am, to get where I am, to be able to share the same meeting as you, but now………everything is just going back to square one…….I know it's not your fault, you didn't do anything but I don't know why every time you are around, I start acting like that."

She stopped talking……….

He just sat there listening to her………..

Every single word that she said……….

How she had poured her heart out to him, to her husband……

Even though she was complaining, he was happy. He was happy because she was clearly getting affected by him, by their relationship. For him, that just meant that he had made progress with her, to get inside her heart, to barge in her thoughts, to take over her mind……..

He spoke "should I leave?" She looked at him and said "I don't know!"

They were both quiet……..

Then he heard Khushi again…….

"Did you eat? I mean did you eat breakfast at the office?"

He noticed how she just changed from Khushi – the professional to the Khushi – the wife……

He replied "yes, I did eat, thanks for asking!" She asked again "You are not going to have lunch?" He answered "should I have lunch here? You don't seem to be in very good mood right now!"

She didn't say anything, she got up and made his plate, brought it back to his table and placed it in front of him and said "Please eat, just because I am losing my mind doesn't mean that you shouldn't eat…….." Saying that she sat right next to him without realizing it……..

He asked "aren't you going to eat?" She answered "no, I am not hungry, I just want coffee!" He spoke "I am not hungry either" She turned to see him in irritation, took the sandwich and brought it front of his mouth and said "please eat, I am not hungry really, I am having a headache and I just need some coffee, that's it, please eat" saying that she brought the sandwich closer to his mouth, he smiled and opened his mouth and took the nectar from his wife's hand……..

KNOCK KNOCK

Khushi was still holding the sandwich and she said "come in", Jenny came in with coffee and gave it to Khushi…….

Jenny noticed Khushi sitting next to Arnav but didn't say anything……..

She quickly took a sip and said "thanks Jenny!" Jenny answered "your welcome, I am going out for lunch, I will see you soon!" Khushi replied "okay, please do leave Sharma's file on my desk before you leave, enjoy your lunch!"

Khushi was still holding the sandwich when she turned to see him, he was just sitting there gazing his beautiful successful wife…….

She asked "why aren't you eating?" He signaled at her holding the sandwich, she turned to see her hand holding his food, she looked back at him and said "see? This is what I mean, I am just losing my mind all over the place, sorry, here……." She extended her arm to hand him the sandwich when he opened his mouth again…….

She looked at him in wonder and asked "you really think I am going to feed you your whole lunch?" He smiled and answered "Yes, I really think you are going to feed me my whole lunch……" saying that he leaned in and took a bite from the sandwich while she was still holding it……..

She just looked at him in shock and said "I thought you said you will listen to me?" he answered "I am listening to you, you asked me to eat, I am eating……" saying that he took another bite while she still had the sandwich in her hand……..

She just looked at him in awe, how he has changed so much. When did this happen? She thought……. The last time I remember he was still that ruthless man who never gave a shit about others, especially me! She smiled, she liked this new Arnav, who wouldn't, she thought.

Part B Continues…….

It all started with 300 Rupees 20 Part B

Heck, she even liked him when she shouldn't have, but now, the way he was going above and beyond to mend things, how could she not like him. Liking him is not the problem, she thought, it's his unpredictability that haunts me. The last time I started falling for him, he used to treat me just like this, maybe not JUST like this but pretty well, then randomly he threatened me to marry him without giving me any explanation for anything………

She was still afraid, very afraid that he might do something like that again. What if he changes again, just like the last time…….her trance broke when she heard…….

"See, we are both done!" he said……..

She looked at him and asked "what do you mean both?"

He replied "I am done eating and you are done thinking about us!"

She answered "I wasn't thinking……..about us………I was just thinking about………some pending work"

He didn't poke this further, he asked "How is your headache?" she replied "I feel better now…….." He moved closer, cupped her face and said "are you alright now?" she answered "I am fine, I just feel bad for what happened earlier…….." He spoke "Khushi, you know that was an accident, stuff happens, why do you have to be so hard on yourself all the time?" She replied "I don't know, all I know that just because I said sorry doesn't mean that it's OKAY!"

They both looked at each after her statement………

Something they could both relate to……….

He said "if sorry is not good enough, then what is Khushi? How would you feel better?" She answered "I am fine, and thanks to you, she should be fine too – shopping on your credit card……." Saying that she smiled………

She spoke again "so how often do you do this?" he asked "what?" Khushi replied "handing out your credit care to people, I mean women, for shopping?" He smiled and said "as many times as you splash water on someone….." She saw him closely, she said "thank you!" He kissed her forehead and said "My pleasure".

She said "I should get back to work, since I haven't been doing anything properly lately……."

He asked "so when is our next date?" She smiled and said "I don't know yet, I will have to check my schedule……" he answered "let me know, I will be waiting for our next date…….."

Khushi replied "it won't be for few days, I am just letting you know in advance, I need to get my scattered thoughts in place first, then I will let you know, so don't wait, it won't be anytime soon, let's just take a break for little bit……." She smiled while completing her sentence…….

He replied "we just started dating and you are already breaking up with me?" he asked with his sexy smirk on…….

She looked at his innocent sexy smirk and said "I can't believe we are actually talking like this, if someone had said to me few days back that I will be having this sort of discussing with Arnav Singh Raizada, I would have never believed it, NEVER."

He walked to her this time, held her waist and said "I love it when you say my name……." saying that he pulled her in and assaulted her lips……

She started breathing hard, in and out, with his sudden attack…….

She closed her eyes and took everything that he was giving her……….

All his love, all his passion, all his need………

He pulled himself away and said "I love you Khushi"

She replied "I……..I……..think you should leave now" saying that she pushed him back……..

He spoke "so we are still on a break?"

She replied "I think so, but don't worry, K says this to lot of guys when she wants to get rid of them, ummm it goes something like this 'it's not you, it's ME" saying that she giggled like a teenager…….

He answered "you need to stop hanging out with K, she is teaching you all the wrong things….."

She looked at him, her face changed drastically, forming strangeness……

She spoke "you will decide who I hang out with?" she asked seriously…….

He quickly walked to her, held her hand and quickly answered "no Khushi, that's not what I meant, I was just joking, I didn't mean that all, I was really joking with you, that's all. Why would I decide who you should hang out with, I would never do that……."

She looked down, then looked up with her puppy eyes and said "I am sorry, I was just joking, I know you didn't mean that, I thought I would just joke with you too but you…….." saying that she looked down again….

He pushed her chin up, looked straight into her eyes and asked "you learned that from K too?" she saw his smiling face…….

She just stared at him for few seconds without blinking, and then spoke "I like your hair……."

Surprised to hear that randomly, he asked "what?" she replied "I always liked your hair, how it's always perfect, sometimes I would want to mess it up really bad when we lived together………" she looked down and smiled at her own silly comment……..

He didn't know how to answer to that super innocent statement of hers……..

He just hugged her, really tight, so very tight……..

She was surprised at his action, she thought he was going to say something after hearing her silly phrase but he didn't……….

She asked "what happened Arnav ji?"

He replied in a very low voice "I am sorry Khushi!"

Her heart skipped a beat, she didn't know why he was saying sorry, but that voice of his gave her goose bumps, making her shiver, to her very core…….

She was still uncertain of why he said sorry, he was still embracing her, tight, she could feel his warm breath on her neck…….

She spoke again "What happened?"

He answered "nothing".

It was the first time he didn't want to answer to her question. He didn't want to talk about the past, he didn't want her to start thinking about the bygones again, she just began to feel happy again. She just began to let him get close to her, not only physically but emotionally as well…….

How could he have not seen his wife's smallest wants, desires, needs?

How she was always this simple honest person, who never demanded anything, never asked for anything, never fought for her rights……..

How he couldn't even fulfill her smallest desires……..

How he had wronged her over and over again…….

And how after all this, she was still able to forgive him……….

This time, no matter what, I have to make sure that she gets everything she deserves in this relationship…….

ALL OF IT!

Just like what she should have received long time ago, the love, the respect, the need, the normalcy, the fantasy, the happiness, the care, just everything what a normal woman wants from a relationship……

He pulled himself back, looked at her, kissed her and said "alright, I will leave, hopefully your calendar is not full and we will continue our date, just let me know my place or yours……." He said smiling…….

He picked up his stuff and he was about to leave when he heard……

"Are you planning on staying in the hotel the whole time you are in Mumbai?" he answered "I don't know, why?" she quickly replied "no, I was just wondering, not a big deal…….bye"

He looked at her, trying to find out why she asked that so randomly………..

Her mouth said something else, her eyes hinted something else, but he couldn't decode her right now………

He left the conference room……..

She still stayed there thinking about the whole meeting………

Why did he say sorry? She couldn't figure it out…….

Her phone rang, she looked at it, it was Karan, she answered "Yes Karan, no he has already left, why? No he was fine, no he didn't say anything. Yes I know, he handled her pretty well, I don't know how Karan, I don't know how all that happened? I didn't see her standing there. I just remembered something really funny and couldn't hold it, no nothing, just something that happened earlier today, no, anyway, are we still having the meeting with Sharmas? Okay, I will see you then, don't make fun of me, yes, I will drink all the water I need to before the meeting. Okay? Bye now!"

She hung up the phone smiling very big at the whole thing; at her husband, at Karan, at Jenny and also at Roshni. She was amused with the whole thing now. She felt much better after talking to Arnav afterwards.

She went to her office and continued working………..

Her phone beeped……

Don't forget to check your calendar for our date! Just reminding!

She looked at it and thought, how can he be so romantic? Was he always like this? Or I just didn't see it before? No, of course he wasn't always like this, if he had been like this, I wouldn't have left him. Left him? I didn't leave because he wasn't romantic, I left him because………

Khushi stop thinking, you have to stop thinking about the past, he is here, he is trying to fix everything. She told herself. He is giving our relationship another chance, he is willing to do everything he can to make this work, why am I still bothered about the past. My constantly thinking about the past will not do any good to our relationship. NOTHING. I should stop thinking about the past and try to move on. Move on with my husband, with the most romantic husband on earth, and not to forget most handsome, and……..

Part C Continues……

It all started with 300 Rupees 20 (Part C)

Khushi, stop drooling over your own husband, she told herself……

He is yours! Now and forever……..

Forever? I don't know if anything will be forever in our relationship but as of now at least, he is mine. ALL MINE. Oh my god, why do I want to see him again? I want to touch him again. I want to kiss him again. He just left, what is wrong with me? How can he do this to me?

Her phone beeped again…..

Missing me? I can come back if you want……

She looked at his message and smiled, she typed back…..

No I am not missing you, I am working, I am very busy, no time to think about you! Whenever I have time, I will remember to check my calendar! Okay?

Her phone beeped again…..

Okay boss, just let me know! I will be waiting……

Boss? Second time in one day? I am his boss? How can he call me his boss? BOSS? That's so funny! Arnav Singh Raizada is calling me his boss? Even if god comes and tells me that he means it, I won't believe it…….

The arrogant businessman who has always bossed everyone around him is letting me boss him around? Well, this is new! It's new but I still don't know how long this will last. Knowing him from the past, he tends to change randomly, let me not get used to all this, it might just end one day and I will be left alone with nothing…….all over again!

She inhaled and then exhaled again……..

She typed……

Please don't call me 'boss', I don't like it! Sorry!

She stared at her phone this time, impatiently waiting for him to reply, not knowing how he would react to this, what will he say……

Her phone beeped……

Okay I won't, can't upset you- Can I? Don't forget to check your calendar sweetheart! I won't remind you again…..since you are not my boss anymore…… :)

She read his message, then again…….

She thought, manipulative businessman! He knows exactly what to say when, playing with words and my heart……..

She replied……

I am not your boss but I am still your wife! You are okay to remind your boss but not your wife? I don't understand…… :(

She smiled at her intelligent reply. I am becoming like him, she told herself, soon it's going to be hard for him to argue with me, just when she was so proud of herself, her phone beeped…..

At least you admitted you are my wife and I have rights over you, I thought you will never say that……thanks sweetheart, p.s. I don't mind reminding MY WIFE at all……I love you……. :)

She read that message, her mouth formed that O again, all her proudness was over ridden by this one message of his…….

What did I write? She thought, she quickly went back to her outbox to check it and read her message again….

I am not your boss but I am still your wife! You are okay to remind your boss but not your wife? I don't understand…… :(

What? Why did I write that? I am not your boss but I am still your wife? And I was so proud of this? THIS? I am such a loss case, I should just not bother anymore, I can't beat him. I just can't. No matter what I say or do to get him away from me, he somehow finds a way to get to me, all the time……..

Giving up, she texted…….

I get it, I can't beat you!

Her phone beeped faster than she thought…….she quickly checked it……

You are right, you can't beat me. You have CONQUERED me! All the way! So don't worry about beating me! How do you beat someone who is already at your mercy? As you ordered, just reminding my wife – don't forget to check your calendar!

She stared at her phone for too long, her eyes welled up, she didn't even know when. It was just a message. Before she could control it, her tears started streaming out of her eyes, uncontrollably. She just cried, without wiping her tears, just letting herself sink in the depth of his message. She stayed like that for another few minutes. Not thinking anything, just crying. Silently. She didn't reply back, she just stared at her phone, which was black now, even the screen had timed out, but not her tears, they continued wetting her cheeks…..

But this time it wasn't tears of grief…….

It was tears of happiness……..

Overflowing without permission……..

How he had filled her heart with his love, only in less than a week, so much love that her heart wasn't able to control it all………

Her heart didn't know HOW to take in so much love……….

And it all came out from her eyes…….

She just sat there thinking about her life in Lucknow, how they met for the first time, then her life after she moved to Delhi, her job at his office, then working at his house when she was training Lavanya, then their married life in Raizada Mansion, then her leaving him after the night when they became one…….

And now……..

She had never experienced love like this, NEVER! She closed her eyes, she wanted strength, lot of strength, to be able to take in his love……..

Why was it so much harder to deal with his love, more than his hatred? WHY?

KNOCK KNOCK

Her eyes opened, she felt those dried tears on her face……..

She quickly wiped her face, fixed her face and said "come in".

Jenny came in, she looked at her, her pale face, dried out eyes………

She said "are you okay ma'am?" Khushi replied "yes, I am fine, just little tired, do you need anything?" Jenny replied "Karan Sir is waiting for you in the conference room" she smiled hearing 'conference room' and said "I am coming, I didn't know it was already time for the meeting……."

Her day went as scheduled, some meetings, some files, some questions, some answers, and most of all, her inner turmoil………

It was time for her to go home, she came back to her office and gathered all her stuff. She picked up her phone and checked her message again. The same message – the message about her conquering him. She read it all over again. She just sat there re-reading that message many more times, for a long time. She finally dialed her phone………

"Hi sweetheart" said her husband…….. She stayed quiet, she didn't know why she had called him, she didn't even know what she wanted to say, she was dumbfounded, she wanted to say something but nothing seemed to escape her mouth…….

"Khushi, are you there? Khushi?" She finally replied "Hi" with a very low voice…….

He asked her worriedly "Khushi, are you okay? Where are you?" She replied "I am at work", he spoke "Khushi, it's so late, why are you still working, when are you going home? You should go home and rest". She answered "I……was……..just……" he asked "Khushi, are you alright? What's going on?" She took a deep breath and said "can you come to see me at my office, if…….you…….are free………it's okay……if you are…….not free".

"Are you okay Khushi? Why do you sound so disturbed?" he asked, "I am fine, I was just wondering if you could……..come to see me……..that's all……" replied Khushi…….

He answered "Give me about twenty minutes, I will be there ASAP", "Okay bye, thanks" said Khushi and hung up the phone…….

She went back to her chair and sat there waiting for him to come………

Why did I call him, she thought. It's so late, what is wrong with me? So what if it's late, I just wanted to see him, he could have said no, but he didn't…….

Not like he says 'no' to anything anymore anyway…..

She just rested her head on the table and closed her eyes, waiting for him…….

It felt forever, she just wanted to see him as soon as possible………

The rest of the office was gone, it was dark outside and she was alone in the office…….

She just shut her eyes and waited for him to come…….

He got there, walked in and walked towards offices……..

All the lights were off in most of the offices', only one light was on…….

He walked to that office, read the door, it said "Khushi", he smiled reading her name on the door, felt so proud of his wife, how far she had come in her life, that too all by herself……..

Her office door was open, he just walked in and saw her resting with her head on the table………

He said "Khushi?" She panicked with the sudden voice…….

She quickly looked up and saw him standing there, by the door………

Her tired eyes couldn't get enough of him, she just wanted to capture him in her eyes, for now and forever…….

Part D Continues……..

It all started with 300 Rupees 20 (Part D)

She quickly got up and ran towards him like it's the last time she was going to see him……..

She got to him, then stopped few inches away from him, and just stared at him again…………

Her eyes were as excited as tired, he asked her "Khushi, are you okay?"

Suddenly, she threw herself on his chest and snuggled onto him, tight…….

He embraced her back, though still worried to see her like this, he asked her again "Khushi, are you okay?" She stayed like that for little while, without saying anything, then she moved her body away from him and said……

"Can you………can…….you………ki……..ss………me?" He saw her pleading eyes, her pleading stammering words, his heart broke seeing her like this……

He cupped her face both his hands with concern and asked "What's wrong Khushi?" Her eyelids closed and said "can you please kiss me………please?"

Without wasting any more minute, he gently slid his left palm behind her neck and brushed his lips on hers, slowly, wetting her lips from his…….

Then slowly tasting her sweetness, her innocence, her love, her need……..

He relished all of her from that one kiss, wanting her more than she wanted him………

Needing her more than she needed him……….

Craving her more than she craved him………..

He noticed how she wasn't reciprocating this time, it was just him kissing her………..

She was just letting him kiss her the way he wanted to…………

Suddenly, he felt warm drops of water on his hand……….

He opened his eyes and saw her, she was crying, her eyes were still closed……..

But both her eyes were wetting her cheeks with uncontrollable precious pearls……

He stopped………

He pulled his lips away and asked "Khushi what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

She still had her eyes closed, she didn't say anything or open her eyes…….

He wiped her tears and asked again "sweetheart, why are you crying?" She still remained quiet with her eyes still closed…….

With her eyes still closed, she finally spoke "please don't stop………please ki…..ss…….me…….please…….."

He couldn't tell why she was crying, what she was thinking, all he knew that she needed him right now and he was going to be there for her……….

He pushed his lips on her lips again, gently at first, then devouring her lips, both of them, passionately sucking it one by one…….

His mouth made love to hers, not wanting anything in return, just giving her everything he could…….

She still didn't kiss him back, she just let him kiss her, anyway he pleased……..

He felt her hands on his chest, clutching his shirt……..

She finally opened her eyes and saw her husband, how closely he had held her, how passionately he was kissing her, how he was loving her, how he was there by just her one phone call……..

She pulled her lips away, making him open his eyes……….

Then she buried herself on his built chest, hugged him tight and whispered "thank you".

He embraced her back with his strong arms, kissed her head and said "are you okay Khushi?"

He could feel her racing heart beat on his chest, her wet cheeks on his shirt, her somewhat trembling body around his……..

She replied "I am fine, I just wanted to see you, I don't know why, sorry to bother you so late at night" saying that she held him tighter…….

He answered "you never bother me, believe me, I wanted to see you more than you wanted to see me, but why were you crying Khushi, I am worried now, tell me, what's going on…….."

Khushi replied, while she still stayed on his chest "I didn't want to cry, it's just that……..the way…….you kissed me……..it……..reminded……..me of……..the time………when you kissed me……..the very first time…….that night………"

He pulled her away from his body, very gently, to see her face, it was a mix of contentment with mostly blush and little bit of pain…….

She saw him, his eyes looking at her, those brown eyes of his, she could never get enough of those eyes, they were sexy, they were seductive, they were just too tough to resist…….

She looked down, avoiding looking at those eyes, but he pushed her chin up, using his index finger and said "you will have to brief me on what happened that night, I don't remember anything but I would like to know…….." he said smiling………

She said "you already know what happened that night, I have already told you that……"

He said "I know what must have happened, I just don't remember anything, and I REALLY want to know, and since you are the only one who remembers it all, please fill me in…….."

She slapped his chest and said "you really think I am going to give you the details?"

He answered with his famous smirk "yes, I really think you should give me the details, I should know too, right?"

She pushed him little further and said "I don't think so………" and started walking back to her chair……

He quickly pulled her to him, then he held her from her waist, and walked with her, she was moving her steps back, and he moved forward towards her…….

Now she was by the door, he pushed the door closed, then he rested her body on the door and then kissed her with so much passion, so much heat that he could literally feel her heart beat racing faster than ever……..

She had to grip on his shirt for support while he kissed her with so much fire…….

Her body felt sparks throughout, making her shudder by just one kiss……

She kissed him back, with same passion and fire, reciprocating equally to match with his…….

Her eyes were closed, her neck was arched, her hands firmly gripped his shirt, her lips making love to his mouth, and rest of her body parts craving to be touched by him………

Just when she thought he was going to take this further, he moved his lips away from her, leaned towards her ears and whispered "that's all I remember from that night, I remember kissing you, that's all, now you will have to tell me what I did next so I can continue……."

She just looked at him, her manipulative businessman husband, always knowing how to get things his way………

She was a very strong willed woman but anytime it came to her husband, all her will would disappear in thin air……

She didn't know what to do or what to say……..

He noticed how much she blushed, her face was the darkest shade of red he had ever seen on her…….

He pulled her in, close to his body, and kissed her ears and whispered "I am your husband Khushi, and since you are my WIFE, you can tell me. I promise I will do exactly what you tell me, maybe even better………" saying that he kissed her neck, making her moan involuntarily……

She finally spoke "I …….don't think……..I will be……..able to……."

She looked down when she said that, he held her waist firmly this time and said "you can, just tell me Khushi……."

He moved her locks from her face and tucked it behind her ears, while still holding her waist from his left hand, he said "please tell me Khushi, I want to know……."

She wasn't sure if she could tell him all that properly or not, but she began……..

She spoke "you……when you kissed……me…….first I got scared……….because I didn't know what you were planning on doing…….so I just let you kiss me…….."

He licked her ear lobe lightly and said "I am listening", she continued "you kissed me for few minutes, very passionately……….then you stopped………I think you could tell that I was scared………I had my eyes shut……..so I didn't see your face……..so I don't know what you were thinking……….you just moved back leaving me there……….still scared…….."

He spoke "and then?" she replied "and then you said 'I am sorry Khushi'………..I didn't mean to scare you like that…….I don't want you to be scared of me, I won't do anything to hurt you Khushi, you can open your eyes Khushi………."

She continued "then I opened my eyes and found you standing there, right in front of me…….the way you were looking at me that night, you had never looked at me like that before, with so much love in your eyes for me……..and then……"

"Then?" he asked, she replied "then you turned around to leave…….but I don't know how and why I stopped you………though I didn't say anything, you stopped and came back to me……….and then you kissed me again……..."

Hearing that he placed his lips on hers again, kissing her with so much power, so much hunger, like he had craved her for so long and finally his wait was coming to an end……..

He whispered again "like this?" she made a loud exhale and agreed "yes", he asked "then what happened?"

She stammered "then……..then……….you…………" he asked "I what sweetheart?" she answered without looking at him "then……..you picked………me up………in your arms……….and brought……..me to……..the bed………."

In a jiffy, he picked her up in his arms………

She teased him "there is no bed here Arnav ji", he saw his smiling teasing wife, he leaned in, kissed her nose and said "I am sure we can manage on that red couch of yours……."

Saying that he walked to the couch lifting her in his strong arms and placed her on the couch, gently……..

And said "continue please" she just looked at him, how he was getting everything he wanted……

So easily……….

How he could just make her do what he wanted to, even now……….

How can I be so weak? I need to be stronger than this, otherwise……….

Otherwise what Khushi? She asked herself, it's not like you don't want what he wants, she told herself, so what if I want the same thing? He can't have everything his way………

He asked "then what Khushi?"

Part E Continues………Right after Sam88's comment!

It all started with 300 Rupees 20 (Part E)

She said "then it was time for me to go home" saying that she pushed him off of her and got up……..

Shocked by this sudden push, before he could stop her, she was already up and walked to her table to get her bag………

She said "we can continue some other time you manipulative husband of mine, not tonight…….I will brief you the rest some other time…….it's getting late and I am very tired, I have to go home, sorry!"

Saying that she picked up her bag and waited for him to respond………

He finally walked to her, pulled her in and spoke "and you call me manipulative? This is wrong, just wrong. You should finish what you started here!"

Khushi giggled and said "how often do I get to see you like this? Not very often, I wish I could do this to you over and over again………"

He said "so that's what you want to do? Torture me like this? I will get you back soon for this, very soon, just watch out Mrs. Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada!" saying that he placed his lips on hers for the last time and said "should I drop you off?" She quickly replied "no thanks, I will manage, you should go back and rest too, I am sure you must be very tired after doing what all you did for me today……."

He quickly responded "not quite everything, ALMOST doing everything, if you had just finished briefing me the rest of the night…….." she answered "to be continued…….sorry!"

They both kissed good night and departed on their own ways……….

NEXT MORNING

She woke up, she turned to check her phone and surprised to see a message from him, she quickly opened it…..

Good morning sweetheart, did you check your calendar yet?

She smiled, what a way to start your day, she thought. This doesn't happen every day. A loving message from my husband, I wish he was here, she thought……..

SINGHANIA'S OFFICE

Khushi was in her office, working as usual…….

KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in" said Khushi…….

Jenny came in and said "ma'am, someone is here to see you" Khushi asked "who?" Jenny replied "I don't know, he is not telling me anything, he said he only wants to talk to you….." "that's weird, who is it? What does he want?" asked Khushi, "I don't know ma'am, he refuses to answer anything I ask him, should I send him in?" said Jenny…..

"Yes, bring him in" Jenny left and came back with a guy…….

She looked at him, he was wearing a black business suit with a briefcase in his hand……

Khushi spoke "may I help you?" the guy replied "yes, but I have to be alone with you to tell you why I am here".

Khushi raised her eyebrows and questioned him "what do you mean?" the guy replied "I can't answer you until we are alone, sorry ma'am".

Khushi replied "look, I don't know who you are and what you want and now you are creeping me out, so say what you have to say right now or you can leave".

The guy walked towards Khushi, she was still sitting on her chair, she panicked a little, she looked at Jenny who was thankfully still there…….

The guy spoke "ma'am, don't worry, I am a professional, I am here for business purpose only, here, take a look at my card, this might help" saying that he handed Khushi his business card and she heard him……

"Yes sir, I am here, no she is not alone yet, sure sir…….." he was on his phone, Khushi looked at him again with questions all over her face…..

Her phone beeped…….

Sorry sweetheart, I forgot to tell you earlier, I sent him, please give him about twenty minutes – alone! Thanks! He will wait if you are not free, all day until you are free. Bye!

Khushi read the text then looked back at him, he said "I can wait outside if you are not free yet, but you have to be alone to know why I am here"

Khushi spoke "Jenny, give us a few minutes". Jenny left the office and closed the door……

"Please sit" said Khushi……

The guy pulled the chair and sat himself down. She said "how may I help you?"

He opened his briefcase and took a file out, he opened it, and slid it towards her……

She looked at him in confusion and asked "what's this?"

He replied "Mr. Raizada told me to ask you all the questions that I need to……" Khushi looked at the folder, it had flyers of different interiors……..

Still confused, she asked "what's this?"

He replied "Mr. Raizada is buying a place here but he told me to ask you everything, so tell me, between these four, which one you like?"

She said "excuse me for a second" she picked up her phone and called him……

He answered "good morning sweetheart, I wasn't expecting your call……."

She replied "what's going on? Why is this guy here with property flyers?"

He replied "Well, you are the one who questioned me about staying in the hotel this morning, so I just figured maybe you don't like coming to the hotel to see me, so I thought I will get my own place, I mean OUR place, but then I didn't know what do you like or dislike, so he is there to ask your choices, that's all!"

She asked "THAT'S ALL? You are buying a place here? Why? I mean you don't have to……."

He replied "I know I don't have to, I want to, I don't know when it will happen but I am hoping one day we will live together, so we will need a place, right? I mean, you can't come and live with me in a hotel, can you? I wanted us to do this together, but I know you are busy and you probably won't even like me coming there for personal reasons, so I figured I will send him, just tell him what you like and he will take care of it, okay?"

She didn't know what to say, she just exhaled and said "okay I guess……..bye" she hung up…..

She looked at the guy who was still waiting on her…….

She looked at the flyer again seriously and said "these four?" he replied "yes ma'am"

She carefully checked everything and then picked one…….

He took the folder from her and said "let's start with the bedroom, which color?" she thought, my favorite is yellow and he probably doesn't even like any color, so, she replied "something sober"

Guy: Okay, Jacuzzi or no?

Khushi: Yes

Guy: Separate standing shower or tub?

Khushi: Standing shower……….she smiled hearing shower……..

Guy: Outdoor pool?

Khushi: I don't know……

Guy: Patio swing or hammock?

Khushi: I don't know, maybe Hammock in the room and swing in the patio

Guy: Three bedrooms or four?

Khushi: Four I guess……

Guy: Island in the kitchen?

Khushi: Yes

Guy: Front lawn – which flowers?

Khushi: You can ask Mr. Raizada that, he knows more about plants than me…….

Guy: Okay, do you have any favorites?

Khushi: Only red roses and maybe tulips……

Guy: As you know, there is master bedroom, master bathroom, master closet, family room, living room, dining room, guest dining room, kitchen, three separate bathrooms, one loft, and you are not sure about the pool yet, correct?

Khushi: Yes I guess…….

Guy: Anything else you would like in your home?

Khushi: My home? No, that's fine I guess……

Guy: You are not forgetting anything?

Khushi: I don't think so.

He opened his briefcase again and took some paperwork out, gave it to Khushi and said "sign here please".

Khushi asked "what's this?"

He replied "I need owner's signature on all the changes made to confirm you want all these?"

Khushi said "owner's signature, then why do I have to sign it?"

The guy replied "because you are the owner, that's why" She looked at him with questions again and said "What? No I am not, I didn't even buy……" The guy interrupted her and said "Mr. Raizada bought this for you, he has your name as owner, please sign it here so we can expedite the process". She took the paper from him, looked at it, read it carefully and shocked to see that she was actually the owner, she finally signed it with her shaking hands…….

He took out a small box and handed it to her, Khushi opened it, the box had a key which was dangling on a key chain that said "Our Home".

The guy said "here is your key to your new home, it will be ready to move in tomorrow, thank you for your time. Also, here is the blueprint of your house and these are the pictures of the place, all the information about the house is here, pictures of all the rooms and all the information about the neighborhood, surrounding shops, malls, schools etc. it's all here, and yes, here is the copy of your property ownership"

Khushi replied "Thanks". He spoke "you have my card, do call me if you want to add anything else, thanks"

Before he left, Khushi asked "how will all this be ready by tomorrow, I mean doesn't it take long time to get it fixed?" He replied "Most of the things are already done, it was built like that, small things like color and interiors doesn't take much time, especially when the client is Mr. Raizada, we are on it and it will get done by tomorrow" Khushi replied "oh ok, thanks!"

He left, leaving Khushi in another shock. Just when she thought her husband couldn't do anything more, there, she would get shocked by something else. First, him showing up at the award ceremony, then giving her the award, then apologizing at the beach, then cancelling his New York trip, then fixing the media issue, then showing up at the meeting, not to mention their hot encounter in that conference room, then the whole boutique, then bag of lingerie, then coming to see her with just one phone call and now a house?

WHAT THE? That's all she could say……..

She quickly shut her mouth using her palm and said – Khushi, stop talking like him!

She picked up her phone and texted him…..

You are going to give me a heart attack one day with all this!

Her phone beeped…….

That's the last thing I want, are you free? Can we talk?

She texted back….

You ask me if I am free like I am the busiest person on earth…..yes I am free, we can talk…..

Her phone rang, she picked it up …..

"Hello", he replied "How are you Khushi?" she answered "just survived an almost heart attack…." He laughed and then said "did you like it?" she answered "liked? I am shocked!" he asked "it will be ready by tomorrow, when do you want to see it?" she answered "as soon as I recover from this shock first". He smiled and said "let me know whenever you are ready, I want to take you there myself, the first time at least, then you can come whenever you want, that's fine?" she replied "I……I don't know what to say…… thanks…….." Even though she tried very hard, a tear escaped her eye……

She stopped talking………

He asked "Khushi, are you crying? Khushi? Talk to me, are you crying?" She answered "no I am not, I am just……..happy……that's it……" He spoke "Khushi, please don't cry, I can't see you cry like this…..Khushi, please don't cry" She replied "don't worry, it's happy tears, I have no control over them, they come out when I am sad, they come out when I am happy, I can't help it……..I am sorry". He answered "Khushi, sweetheart, I love you, let's not cry right now, let's just enjoy our new home, I just wanted to check if you wanted to add something else, let me know and I will get it done…….."

She said "I…….I have to talk to you about some things……..whenever we meet next………just some stuff…….." he answered "everything fine Khushi? Are you okay?" She answered "yes, I am fine, just some things we need to talk about, just give me some time, I will let you know when we can meet again…….I have to go now……I will call you soon, thanks again, bye!" He replied "bye Khushi, take care of yourself, I love you!"

They both hung up…….

Khushi told herself, I have to talk to him as soon as possible, I shouldn't wait anymore………

Arnav told himself, I hope everything is fine, she sounded very upset over something, I hope there isn't any problem……..
