Chapter Eighteen
This was probably the happiest day of Khushi's life. She is going to be a mother. Ever since she was a kid she used to play with dolls making them her kids.She used to feed them, bathe them, lull them to sleep. When Khushi had been pregnant the first time Arnav had not been there. She had thought she'd she'd pass her entire life taking care of the kid, raising it, cherishing it but then she miscarried! Her life came to a standstill and it had stayed so ever since. She worked, she lived but she was barely alive.
Then Arnav came back into her life. She didn't want to acknowledge him yet she felt alive after a long time. It is true she agreed to the one month contract and consequently made love because she wanted a kid. Her kid back!!It is not possible for her to give herself to someone else therefore Arnav was her one chance at happiness, one chance to have a kid. Now she is having a kid!! His kid!!
Khushi looked at Ayush playing about. She wants a baby boy just like Ayush. Her first child had been a boy, she knew that. She wanted him back!!
Arnav was now the most caring husband a girl could want for.He took care of her each and every need.He made sure she had iron tablets in the morning. He oversaw her meal to see if she was having a balanced, healthy meal. He even changed his bedroom from upstairs to downstairs so that she didnt have a problem walking up and down the stairs. She was only allowed to go up if Arnav was with her and it was still her first month!!! Khushi agreed to this only because she was happy! Happiest she had been in a long time.
Arnav was happy too. He actually smiled and laughed now-a-days. After seeing him look like hell the last few years seeing him laughing like this was like seeing an oasis in a desert. But why wouldn't he be happy? He had khushi. She was back. She was his. She was happy.
The moment the doctor declared that she was pregnant Arnav had looked into her eyes. It defined happiness. In one single moment Khushi had turned into the khushi he had first met. Her face glowing, her eyes sparkling with happiness. If a baby was needed to make her this happy then he'd give her ten babies. One each year, even two if possible. To Arnav nothing mattered except Khushi's happiness. He'd do anything to make her happy. Anything!!
As soon as they had exited the hospital Khushi had suddenly transferred into the 19 year old Khushi. She talked endlessly and suddenly shrieked. Aranv halted the car and asked concernedly, "kya hua?? Tum thik ho?? Dard kar raha hain??"
"Uff nehi Arnavji, gol gappe!!"
"Gol gappe???"
"Gol gappe stall there. It had been ages since I had a gol gappe"
Arnav didn't think she should have gol gappe but seeing her excitement he couldn't say no. Only after she had gulped down five gol gappe in one go did he take the plate away from her"
"No more"
"But" she pouted
Arnav felt his heart burst with happiness...
"Khushi yeh bacche ke liye thik nehi hain jaan"
Only then she relented
Leave no doubt in your minds dear readers that family memebers were ecstatic with the news. Khushi was back. Chotte was happy. They were about to be parents. What more could they ask for?
Anjali openly cried a bucket.
Nani kissed Khushi'd forehead, blessed them and wiped her tears.
Akash hugged his bhai congratulating him.
Payal hugged khushi while secretly whispering "itni jaldi... abhi abhi to tum dono phir se mile... sehen nehi huwa" earning a blush from Khushi.
But the most shocking was mamiji, she silently left from there... went to her room and cried, not silently but quite loudly. She truly loved Arnav, she had seen how he suffered during khushi's absence and she also saw how happy Arnav was now. She promised in front of Devi Maiya she'll stop gossiping about others behind their back for giving her this happiness. Uski tin bacche aur do bahuyen khush rahein usse aur kuch nehi chahiye...
...
"Khushi!! What are you doing?"
"Shit!! Caught" she thought
"Arnavji, I felt like eating a jalebi"
"One!! I already saw you stuff atleast four jalebis in your mouth"
"But"
"No more khushi. After giving birth you can eat as many as you like but right now no more please"
She pouted.
"Salman Khan movie is on"
"oh I forgot! " she ran leaving a smiling Arnav
...
It has been three months. Khushi was pampered beyond words. Aranv made sure she had the best of everything. Family memebers made sure she took care of herself, didn't let her even lift her finger and after Arnav came he took her for evening walk everyday"
...
One day Khushi wasn't feeling well. Arnav immediately took her to the hospital.
She bled.
"I'm sorry Mr. Raizada... she miscarried"
"But how... we took such good care"
"Actually she lost a child before also therefore her womb is not that stable. It is hard for her to carry a baby. You keep on trying. It won't be the same always"
Arnav was at loss of words. How will he ever tell Khushi??
Arnav didn't have to. One look at Arnav's eyes and it told her everything she needed to know.
...
The happiness, the cheerfulness in Raizada Mansion left with it.
A week after that Arnav returned from office suddenly to see Khushi packing her bag.
...
Read Please
Don't hate me please...
If you know me you know I never do sad endings. Arshi will move past this and live happily ever after. Just give them time.
I had this track planned far before Anjali miscarried.
