CHAPTER NINE: BYGONE BLISS

##### FLASHBACK #####

[Khushi is 6 months pregnant and Anjali is 7 months pregnant.

Anjali has come to stay at Raizada mansion as Mr. Roy has a case in Delhi and Shyam assisting him.

Khushi: thanks.

She took the plate of jalebis for her and a bowl of kheer for Anjali from Hariprakash.

Khushi: so di what have you thought??

Anjali: about what??

Khushi: babies??

Anjali: I am thinking about them always.

Khushi: them?? Twins??

Anjali: no'dumbo'yours and mine.

Khushi: oh. Hee hee (crunching jalebis)

Anjali: stop laughing and eat quickly. Tomorrow there are many preparations.

Khushi: yes'.I am so excited'.Di what have you thought?? I mean Baby names??

Anjali: I want something special. A name that would be an union of Shyam and my name.

Khushi: let me think''.. (She closes her eyes and started gobbling the jalebis)

Anjali: Khushi eat slowly you will choke yourself.

Khushi: no Di'it is my brain-booster.

Anjali doesn't talk anymore and glances through the pages of a book "How to take care of a newborn"

Khushi: Sanjana.

Anjali: and if you have a boy then we would keep'

Khushi: Sanjay.

Anjali: beautiful. But Khushi if both of us have girls or boys. Then??

Khushi: Di I have another pair of names.

Anjali: really?? What?? Tell me.

Khushi: Saahil and Shalmali

Anjali: Wow. Khushi if I have a girl I would surely keep her name Shalmali.]

Tears were falling enormously from Khushi's eyes.

Anjali: Khushi??

Khushi wiped off her tears and tried to be calm.

Khushi: so what have changed in these four years Di??

Anjali: many things. All were bad'

Khushi: didn't any good things happen?? I want to be happy'I don't want to be sad. I, myself, am the cause of all these problems.

Anjali: No Khushi. You aren't. Yes there is good news. Two members coming'

Khushi: I can't comprehend'.

Anjali: Akash and Payal are also expecting.

Khushi: also?? Who is the other??

Anjali: myself'' (blushes)

Khushi: Ohh'I am so happy'these are really very good news. Why bhaiyya did left bhabhi alone there and came here?? And you too?? What is this?? Can't you take any care?? How could you all be so irresponsible??

Anjali (cupping Khushi's face): to all of us'no happiness is complete without you'

A nurse came and called Anjali outside.

Anjali: yes I am coming (replying the nurse)

Khushi, I am coming within ten minutes. If you need anything

Khushi: Di. I am fine. I will wait for you. Go now so that you can come back soon. And I would listen about my niece.

Anjali left and she was alone.

Only the clock was ticking and so was her mind.

She had lain on the bed. She closed her eyes. Tears welled up and were oozing from the corners of her eyes remembering the old good days of her and Anjali's pregnancy.

She also remembered her love-filled days with Arnav.

#### FLASHBACK ####

[Anjali: Wow. Khushi if I have a girl I would surely keep her name Shalmali.

Shyam enters.

Shyam: nice name. Both Rani Sahiba and I want a little princess. Shalmali is a nice name. But how is it deriving from both of our names?

Arnav enters with two glasses of milk and gives one to Anjali and takes the empty plate from Khushi's hand and keeps it on the bed-side table. He sits beside her and makes her drink as she was behaving like a troublesome kid.

Arnav: Shyam's "SH" then Anjali's "AL"'.

Anjali: then again "M" from your name

Shyam: yes and "ALI" from your name' Khushi really you are a genius.

Arnav: Khushi, what about our baby's name?

Anjali: Sanjay, Sanjana, Saahil.

Arnav: I don't like any of them and I want...

Khushi's large beautiful eyes welled up with tears.

Arnav pacifies her and wipes off her tears.

Arnav: what the?? Let me complete Khushi' I want something special and a fusion of our names like Di's baby name.

Khushi smiled.

Khushi: stupid.

Arnav: you want to keep STUPID for our baby??

Everyone was laughing and Khushi was blushing.

Shyam: Saale Saab we think you must spend some time now with her.

Arnav: no Jijaji. We all have to do a lot of work for tomorrow.

Shyam: but for your Di don't neglect my lil sis.

Khushi: no'he takes a lot of care for me. And tomorrow is Di's godh-bharai (baby shower) and next month will be mine, then I would get all the attention.

Anjali: you are always the centre of all our attention Khushi'..stupid.

Arnav: but the work?? I ha..

Anjali: yes Chotte, he is right. You are too busy with your work. It is already 11p.m. I am going to sleep and you also take her to bed. We all are tired.

Shyam: Khushi you are really looking stupid. It must be your name, not your baby's.

Khushi: Bhai' (she pouts)

Shyam: well that line of milk over your lips is also making you look more cute than stupid.

Anjali and Shyam left.

Khushi was laughing and suddenly her eyes went over Arnav. He was constantly watching her with a loving gaze that made her feel shy.

Arnav brings his lips near her ears. She was blushing.

Arnav: I love you whether you are stupid or cute. I love you and would love you always. Well your adjective is perfect. STUPID.

She hid her face on Arnav's chest and hit him lightly.

Khushi: how??

Arnav: S for sweet

T for talkative

U for understanding

P for pretty

I for intelligent

D for disturbing

He ruffles her hair and kisses her head. He felt a little wet on his t-shirt. He looked down. Khushi had become like a mischievous kid in these days. She wiped off the milk stains from her face on his t-shirt. She looks at him with a sweet smile and bright playful eyes.

He can't stop himself and kisses her softly. Her lips tasted even more milky and sweet. Effect of jalebis and milk'he thought. She responded fervently. He forgot all and started kissing her crushingly and with full of passion. Their lips played and their tongues explored as if they were ravishing each other. She slide on bed and pulled him. He was leaning on her but kept his hand on bed for support so as not to hurt her and their baby with his weight. He moved back breaking the kiss and letting her breathe. She was flushed, her lips wet and red and swollen.

Khushi tried to pull him again but he didn't let her continue.

Khushi: what happen??

Arnav: you know Khushi.

Khushi: after the first five months we can.

Arnav: no.

Khushi: what no?? I asked Dr. Bijlani today. She said we can but just be careful to take protec'.

Arnav: I am not talking about making out.

Khushi: then??

Arnav: I know about all those 5 months and so on. But I know myself. I can't be soft and mild as needed and I don't want to hurt. You are already weak and fragile See your lips. I can't even kiss you mildly. With all that you will be even weaker.

Khushi looked at him with full affection and awe.

Khushi: you think so much??

A tear drops from her eyes out of happiness. She has got such a loving and caring husband. He is the best husband one can ever get.

He wipes her tear and kisses her eyes.

Arnav: I really want your pregnancy to end fast. I will get my Khushi soon.

Khushi laughs.

Arnav: I am serious. I am desperately waiting for these nine months to get over' again you will be mine completely. Then we would. Ok??

Khushi: after our baby's birth I have to give our baby full time for almost a year. You may get me after our kid becomes a year or two.

Arnav: are you kidding? Stop this nonsense. I am always least interested about baby matter. You matter most.

She hugs him. He lies on the bed and makes her lie too and makes her head rest on his chest.

Khushi: can you give me any tablet for sleep??

Arnav: why Khushi??

Khushi: my head is aching a bit and I am feeling nauseated. So.

Arnav: you lie down and I will make you sleep. Those will have side effects on the morning.

Then he starts massaging her forehead. He plays with her hair. After sometime she had fallen asleep.

Next morning she awakens to see herself lying in Arnav's arms. She kisses him on his cheek. She is very happy regarding the celebrations in the house. She thinks to skip her pre-natal yoga and take a bath and was about to take a dress from closet.

Arnav (his eyes closed): Khushi don't think to skip your exercise else no more jalebis for you.

Khushi: who said you I will not exercise?

Arnav (opens his eyes): cause the yoga clothes are on the recliner and you opened the closet. Simple.

Khushi: Laad Gavernar.

Arnav frowns.

Khushi: ouch' (holds her tummy)

Arnav: what happen??

Khushi: kick of your son.

Arnav: who said son??

Khushi: I am saying.

Arnav: Really? Proof?

Khushi: Both of you get irritated at the same things. Just now I said Laad Gaverner and both of you disliked.

Arnav: hmm' (he comes and touches her belly and bends and kisses her belly)

Khushi: now leave me.

Arnav: when is your medical check up??

Khushi: day after tomorrow.

Arnav: it is Friday. Right??

Khushi: yes. Why?

Arnav frowned.

Khushi: what?? Don't dare to say that you are not coming with me.

Arnav: but that is what I have to say.

Khushi: I won't go then.

Arnav: Khushi don't do this.

Khushi: I would.

Arnav: I promise I would go, but some other time. I have a very important meeting.

Khushi: okay.

And then that horrible day and everything and all happiness of her was over.]

Khushi hears the door opening. Her eyes were full of tears and heart full of grief. She quickly rubs her eyes. Akash enters.

Akash: Khushi you are discharged now.

Khushi: hmm

Akash: will you not go with us?

Khushi: no, I can't.

Akash: but why? I am your brother Khushi.

Khushi: you were. I don't have any brother now. You may go. I am going to stay here only in London.

Akash: Khushi, please.

Khushi: please I said. If you really bother or care about me then please leave me alone.

Akash had been trying to take Khushi back in India but Khushi was adamant. She was heartbroken thinking Arnav as Armaan's killer and she had no more faith left for Akash from the past incidents. {refer CHAPTER TWO}.

Finally she decided to stay in Aman's apartment although everyone tried to take her back to India.

She sat in the car. She was sitting behind Aman. She only sat in the passenger's seat if Arnav drove.

Khushi was feeling lonely and depressed.

So,

She asked Aman to play some music.

Aman randomly started some English songs.

The first one was

HATE THAT I LOVE YOU SO (Rihanna)

She immediately asked him to change.

Aman got confused.

Aman: why?

Khushi: I just said, that's all.

She actually loved Arnav still now or even more.

Though she hid her feelings in front of everyone she can't deny herself.

And that song was making her expose her feelings.

She said everybody that she doesn't want to go back because she doesn't have any trust or love for anyone, but actually it isn't. She couldn't disclose her exact feelings. She can't see some other woman with Arnav and that too Lavanya. Lavanya supported in Khushi in her college days.

#### FLASHBACK ####

[Khushi: are you crazy?

Lavanya: Khushi I talked to Anjali and then came here. Just go.

Khushi: if Akash bhaiyya?

Lavanya: tell them that you are with me for some shopping.

Khushi: but I am going to meet him and if?

Lavanya: no ifs and buts. Just chill. The caf is near Star Plaza. You go for the date and I would wait and finish some of my work and after that I will drop you home.

Khushi: there will be no problem. Are you sure?

Lavanya: 100% confident and ASR is there. So why are you getting worried?

Khushi: ok]

And now,

She is involved with Arnav. Very hard to believe. But it can't be a lie. Aman is a reliable source and he knows almost everything about him.

P.S. I M STILL NOT OVER YOU

Another song of Rihanna was playing and tear drops fell from her eyes. She quickly wiped off.

But this time she didn't react and let the song play.

Khushi's thoughts

" is it me? Or Arnav? Or Someone else? I married Arnav because I loved him, but I married Armaan because I loved Arnav. I hated Akash bhaiyya because I loved Arnav. I hate Arnav because he killed our baby, our symbol of love, again his love. Now, I hate Lavanya because Lavanya is Arnav's girlfriend or whatever is. It is again because I love him. But,he did he actually kill him?? Or someone else?? Why is behaving coldly?? If he killed he would have some hope that I would return to him and he should be happy if not then at least relieved.

My calculations are somewhere wrong. I am missing some big point. What am I missing? I m really not over him. "

the lines of the song...

Don't you know I've tried and I've tried

To get you out my mind
But it don't get no better
As each day goes by
And I'm lost and confused
I've got nothin to lose
Hope to hear from you soon
P.S. I'm still not over you
Still not over you

Did you know I kept all of your pictures
Don't have the strength to part with them yet
Oh no...
Tried to erase the way your kisses taste
But some things a girl can never forget

Don't you know I've tried and I've tried
To get you out my mind
But it don't get no better
As each day goes by
And I'm lost and confused
I've got nothin to lose
Hope to hear from you soon
P.S. I'm still not over you
Still not over you

Aman: Khushi!! We had arrived.

Khushi: oh,sorry I was lost somewhere'

Aman: in what??

Khushi: umm..nothing.

Aman: you were lost

Khushi: I am lost only. There is nothing new to lose.

Finally she has decided to call Lavanya. "It is better to bear the truth in it's true form rather than straining by only know the half-truth. I must ask Lavanya. What made her involve with Arnav. What made her do such a cheap and gross work? How could she be in a relation with a married man?

Wait' Arnav is no more married.

And moreover he is not my husband anymore. What will I say her? Whom am I to him? Nobody.

But I can't resist. I need to talk to her. Now. No more I can hold myself.

I know Arnav, he can never be with someone. But he was a young flamboyant infamous flirt. That is not impossible also. I am solely confused. How complicated all these are. My life is so COMPLICATED'" Khushi thought.
