Part 52 – Husband and Wife
Khushi replied a bit worried, "And dinner, what about dinner." Arnav knew her concern, he so wished he could run off home answered, "Khushi I'll come home for dinner, but do not wait for me..."
Khushi spoke again, "How many of you in the office?" Arnav replied, "Just my finance team, four of us, need to prepare for tomorrow's meeting with the client, you know the contract that we got awarded."
Khushi answers, "Yes I do...its okay...will wait for you." Arnav sighs, "Khushi Love you bye."
After keeping the phone down, she immediately gets into the kitchen and decides to prepare a wholesome vegetable soup that her friend Preeto had taught her. Khushi wanted to make sure he would eat something dinner might end up being too late. She orders for bread and makes some fresh croutons to go with the soup. She then calls the driver and makes arrangements to send the soup to the AR Group Office.
Since dinner was already prepared she went into her room to check on her textbooks etc. She had to start reading and devote time everyday to her studies.
Here at the office, an hour later into the meeting...Arnav receives a call from his reception saying that Mrs. Raizada had sent a Tiffin box from home. At the same time he receives a text message. He excuses himself from the conference room and checks, it was from Khushi, and it read, "Arnav sending vegetable soup for you and your colleagues... Please ensure that you have it now hot and piping...and then continue with work. And yes I sent the soup bowls too, what if there aren't any at AR Group!...Love you - Khushi."
Arnav looks at the message and smiles to himself thinking woman, I am not just hungry for food but for you too! Gosh...he missed her presence all day today...he had to get used to it. He had never been distracted at work before. He can't be found acting like a fool, not Arnav Singh Raizada. Yet he can't help himself and calls Khushi saying huskily, "I am not just hungry for food you know...but for you too, so what do I do about that? Now tell me hmmm..." Khushi now turning all red replies, "For that you need to come home Jaan" she hears his "hmmm" and continues, "Now just make do with the soup Mr. Raizada its 8:30 pm already, go on." He smiles and continues, "I know...missed you today...thanks a lot...will go now, have dinner don't wait for me...please Khushi...Love you", saying this he keeps the phone down reluctantly and goes on to have the soup with his team.
His staff are surprised that Mrs. Raizada had thought of all of them and not just the Boss.
Though some of them were senior to him in age and experience, they admired the man for his work ethics and leadership skills. Like him they were passionate about their work and gave their best to AR Group. Yes he failed in personal relationships...was a loner, never understood his staff and their woes but where work was concerned they were handsomely rewarded and well looked after. Hence they stuck around AR Group. But Mr. Sanghvi their senior most staff and Finance Manager felt a sea of change in Arnav (the only employee who could call him Arnav) over the past one year. He also addressed him as Boss in front of others. Of course it was the woman in his life that brought that change. He had seen her couple of times around the office, she was a beauty and yet the only one who could have handled their Boss. What a combination they made, she a complete people's person whereas he a dark horse.
Mr. Sanghvi boldly comments, "Boss lucky you, the soup is awesome...and Mrs. Raizada is kind enough to think of us too. Please thank her on our behalf." Arnav is glad with the praise but he is embarrassed in front of his staff. He never had to encounter such situations before. They kind of felt ASR had mellowed down and had stopped his barks around the office hence dared to speak freely sometimes to him. He listened now to their problems and made a lot of changes in and around the company.
The team was fuelled with more energy after the hearty soup so got going with their discussions. Arnav notices the enthusiasm had increased...he thought of his wife, the woman sure knew that a way to a man's heart was through his stomach and a smile gathered on his lips.
Khushi waited anxiously. Dinner was served but she refrained from eating. After Naniji's insistence she had a bowl of soup and went up to her room to read a bit.
It was 10 pm, Khushi comes down now with worry. Where was Arnav? How much longer? She brings along her books and sits to read in the living area. All had retired for the day.
The doorbell rang after about fifteen minutes. Khushi flung the book on the sofa and rushes to open the door with a flutter in her heart.
She opens and sees his standing there. He looked tired. The joy that filled her lit up her face. On seeing her at the door, Arnav was glad but worried, his arm goes around her waist "Khushi!...why did you wait...where is Hari Prakash?" She took his bag from him and said, "Now wash up, come on lets have dinner...I will warm up the food...go on."
Arnav changes and returns back to the dinning table. In the meantime she warmes up the dinner. They ate together and discuss about her studies. She then enters the kitchen to clear the dishes. Arnav comes from behind and presses himself against her with his arms around her bare waist saying "Leave it, wake HP up...come on I need you" and nibbled at her ear. She nudges him to stop, "In a minute…...Jaan go on...Hari Prakash is sleeping...I'll be there soon..." He ignores her and finds it hard to keep his hands off her...so lingers around sitting on the kitchen counter whilst she clears everything. When she was done, he simply lifts her in his arms and walks out of the kitchen.
Hari Prakash had got up with all the noise, but only found him self gaping in astonishment at his Boss perched in the kitchen teasing Khushiji and then lifting his wife in his arms. He turns back...scratched his head and goes back to his room to sleep thinking... Oh the joys of having a wife!
Arnav carries her all the way up and lays Khushi on the bed pinning her down with his own weight. Khushi had not even changed for the night and he wasn't letting her. She complains, he did not let her speak further and hungrily sought her soft lips saying gruffly against them, "Gosh...Love I have missed you all day, and you want to...no." He deftly undressed her and his hands stroke her breasts...seeking every curve of her, ……..she moans and calls out his name, "Arnav" he answers, "hmmm" and arches closer to him, at the same time touching him, wanting him...feeling his strength...like a parched desert he thirsts for her...his hands moving to her hips and lower...reaching dizzy heights of pleasure and ecstasy he calls out, "baby love you." She then props herself placing both her arms on his chest…. her hairfalling over her shoulder...leans and plants a kiss on his lips and asks, "you look tired...how was your busy day?...Did everything go well?" He looks at the concern in her eyes and replies softly, whilst his hands caress her warm bare back and hair,"yeah it was a horribly hectic day...but it was okay...still a lot to do on that project. He updates her about a few things. She replies, "I see, hope that all goes well..." He nods and then with both his hands pushes back the hair and drinks in her beauty half perched on him, her swollen lips, the slim white shoulders...her swan-like neck...he knew every part of her so minutely...the little black spot on her right shoulder... his eyes travel lower to her pink peaks that touch his skin and again his eyes turn dark with desire he moves and pushes her down towering over her and mutters, "want you now...you just drive away all my weariness" and brings his head down again to seek her softness. Khushi receives him with eagerness and their wanting to love and give back to each other knew no bounds.
To be continued-
Part 53 – Husband and Wife
Another day arrives. Khushi woke up without disturbing him. He needed that extra sleep. She tiptoes into the bathroom and found herself looking into the mirror. She bruised so easily, once again he had left his marks over her breasts. She remembers their passionate night.
She then comes out to wake him up for his jog. He gets up goes on for his walk. On his return as always she records his sugar levels. She would enter the data in her laptop thought Khushi.
Whilst Khushi gets busy in getting breakfast ready alongwith Payal. All gather together for the morning aarti. All sit for breakfast when Khushi nudges Arnav, "Why aren't you dressed yet for the office?" Arnav replies, "I will after breakfast, don't worry." He had his reasons. She wondered, he never did that before was always dressed when coming down for breakfast. Everyone noticed but not a word was mentioned. He continues, "After breakfast come up to the room, need to talk to you." Now what Khushi was left wondering again!
Khushi notices Lavanya's looks towards NK and finds that Lavanya was sporting a ring on her finger with a big grin on her face. She was excited about it now.
A little later Khushi goes up to the room and finds Arnav pacing up and down. He barks, "Where are you? I am getting late!" Khushi retorts, "So why are you still here, you should have left? What is it?" He pushes her against the same door and coaxing her to open her mouth kisses her passionately...then still holding her face says, "That is why. I can't do this in front of everyone before I leave for work." She is left breathless yet replies, "Arnav! You are impossible... really." He continues complaining, "Well, I need to kiss you and feel you before I go off to work, you will find me waiting here until you come up." and when she was about to explain, he retorts, "The kitchen is Hari Prakash's problem not yours Baby." Khushi loved his demanding and possessive nature but now was in a dilemma as to how to find an excuse to come back to their room everyday before he left. She just had to find a way. She smiles and wriggles out of his arms. "Fine...Jaan oh wait ...have the dahi before going...it's your meeting with the client on the contract right?" He nods she rushes down to get the sweetened dahi. Arnav comes down and she asks Anjali Di to feed him explaining why he needed their well wishes and blessings.
She walks him to the door informing that she would send the lunch box to the office. Khushi calls out softly, "Drive safely." He turns and says, "Love you bye."
It was another day of cooking and finishing chores. Di and Nani were busy with the pooja preparations for the day after. Khushi arranges to send the lunch box at AR Group. She cooks something different. She had looked up some recipes on the internet and had tried something out, sending HP to get all the ingredients. From now she would ensure that his meals were healthy. She needed to speak to Di about his doctor.
She then gets hold of Lavanya and asks her about their date. Lavanya is all excited she whirls Khushi around and says, "NK proposed last night Khushi...with this love ring, but he said not to say anything to anyone except you, cause he would like to speak to Nani and ASR first." Khushi assures her, "Do not worry I will not bring up the subject with Arnavji...yes let NK do the talking." Khushi was really happy for Lavanya. They were both very dear to her and wanted to see them happy together.
Here at the office Arnav was busy all day. Though it was a Saturday there was yet a lot to do. He then remembered he wanted to buy another car for Khushi and Payal so called Aman, "Get me an appointment at the car showroom for Monday without fail Aman. Let me know what time."
He enjoyed the hot meals that came from home. He calls her after lunch, "Hi! Have you had lunch? I just finished mine.What are you doing?" She jerks up from her nap and saw the time it was 2:30 pm. Immediatey, she starts to grumble, "I was resting, you had the lunch I sent just now! Arnav, why did you not eat by 1 pm?" He replies, "Khushi I was busy." She continues with her rant, "What busy everyone in AR Group has lunch at 1 pm why can't you spare few minutes. Don't you understand it is not good for your health!" when she notices silence at the other end ….…continues "Why bother telling you, since you will do just what you want!" Arnav is surprised at ther outburst, "Why are you so upset Khushi? Forget it bye."
Just then he receives a call from Aman. He had to go for another meeting.
Here Khushi was mad because he never understood that she sent the meals just so that he could eat on time properly. All the outdoor pizzas took a toll on his health and so dependent on medications for every little thing. And to top it off he is upset for being mad at him!
Khushi went on to speak to Nani and Di about the pooja for tomorrow. All the preparations were done and taken care of. Then Khushi enquires, "Di I wanted to know about Arnavji's doctor? When did he go last for a visit?" Di burst out laughing, "Chote hasn't seen the doctor for the past two years. He just gets the prescription and orders for the medication." Khushi is shocked, "Really." Anjali continues, "I have tried and failed, even the doctor has called to ask him to come and see him, but he just does not listen. May be you can try and get him to visit the doctor." Khushi was fuming from the inside but did not show. She says, "Can you give me the doctor's number I shall talk to him." Anajli willingly gives it to her.
At the office they return back from the meeting. There were suppliers coming to meet him today. He couldn't put off these meetings. Tomorrow was Sunday. He had to call Khushi. He received another call from the supplier so got busy and forgets to call her.
Khushi seeing that there was neither a call nor sign of him until six so decides to call him. She things he might as well get used to receiving calls from her at the office. He saw his phone with her name flicker. He picks it up, "Khushi" before he could continue she asks, "Will you be late today as well?" He says, "Yes" She continues, "What time would you be home?" He replies, "Khushi around nine hopefully." Khushi, "Okay will send something with the driver." He objects, "No, it's not required we will order something from out." She was now mad again, "From out? You don't like what I make?" Arnav now knowing from her tone she was upset, "Ok send what ever you want." He couldn't say anything beyond that seeing Aman standing in front of him.
So Khushi prepares vegetable and cheese sandwiches with brown bread, and sends them to the office befor seven. She had forgotten how many were staying back. She calls Aman to find out. He says just two or three of them would stay back. She did not text him to say what she was sending. He would anyway know before eating.
She went back to her studies. Had an orange juice and waited anxiously for Arnav to return home.
Arnav had the sand wiches at 7:30. He remembered that she was upset since he had eaten late. Aman joined him and they finished with the pending paper work.
It was around nine thirty by the time he returned. She opened the door. He was glad to see her and saw she seemed upset, "Hi Khushi." She replies, "Kaise hoh? You must be tired, freshen up I'll get Hari Prakash to warm up the food."
They have dinner in silence, he finishes dinner and goes up to the bedroom saying "Come soon." Since Hari Prakash was still awake, she gives him instructions and leaves taking her books along.
She changes into her negligee a pretty yellow colour with lace on the bodice. The fabric was of a clinging kind. Arnav was sitting on his side of the bed with a book. She goes to her side of the bed and lies down. He puts off the lights leaving his side of the night lamp on. He moves towards her and puts his arm around her waist, "Khushi what happened? Still upset." She had her back to him. He turns her towards him, "Talk to me Baby." She averts her face. He notices she was breathing heavily, her fullness clinging to her negligee. Arnav starts to talk, "So did you do some reading today?" She lied, "No." He scolded, "Why not? You should ensure you do everyday, make some time for studies Khushi." Now mad again she replies, "Oh really why do you worry about my studies, just like you don't have the time to eat I do not have the time to read, okay." He knew then she was just irritated with his not having his meals on time, so smirked, "Oh so now my Tigress is mad eh, Sorry Babes" and bent down to kiss her, she pushed him away just to teach him a lesson. He did not give up, he knew her too well, so took both her arms above her head and asked, "So you don't want me to touch you?" She moved her head in the negative but did not utter a word. He looks into her eyes and said, "Liar." Her face was flushed….her eyes filled with anger and desire…….he was enjoying it….he left trails of touches on her lips and parted them with his fingers and said, "Say that you don't want me to kiss you, say it." He knew she had lost all her reserve and wanted him just as much as he did so placed his warm lips on hers and let go of her arms. The minute his lips touched hers, they were on fire. KHushi in her anger wanting to hurt him pulled at his hair and scratched at his back. He punishes her by biting her lip and bruising them, whilst his hands stroke her body in a rough manner…she calls out his name softly, he gruffly replies with all the endearements baby, honey, sweatheart, and on touching her breats whispers "my doves." Their lovemaking was a fusion of anger and raw desire reaching to a crescendo.
(Dedicated this hot song to this passionate moment – Abhi Abhi from Jism 2)
He lifts his head and kisses her softly, "Sorry if I hurt you, but you are a real cat." She looks into his eyes and smiles shyly knowing she had instigated it and loved this side of him too. She turns into his chest and buries her head…he smiles loving her all the more for giving her all to him. He whispers, "Love you Khushi, I promise I shall ensure I eat on time, but you better make sure you read everyday." She replies, "Yes I will, but please Arnav you must understand it is important that you take care of your health, not just our family but the families of all the employees who work for you are dependent on you indirectly. You cannot neglect yourself." Arnav understands her concern. "Fine I get it." Khushi continues, "Good, then next week we visit your doctor! What say!" Arnav now knowing she got him at the right time, "What, okay we shall see." He kisses her again and they fall asleep in each others arms.
To be continued….
Part 54 – Sunday at Shanti Van
It was Sunday. Khushi wakes up to the sunlight streaming through the curtain openings. She disengages herself from Arnav's arms. He was still sleepy, but doesn't let her go, she whispers, "Jaan I have to get up...you can sleep for a while, aren't you going for the jog." He just turns, pulls the blanket over him and says, "no, not today...mmm" She kisses him on his lips and moves away. She shuts the small opening between the curtains ensuring the room was still in darkness. He needed to rest. She picks up the clothes from the bed and the floor, remembering their passionate night of fighting and lovemaking. She'd apply the soothing cream on his back when he woke up. She needed to clip her nails!
Khushi showered and got ready. When she was out he was still asleep. She tiptoes out of their room after ensuring his clothes and things were all placed on the bed. An hour had passed by, Arnav was still not down. She goes up again.
He had just come out of the shower. Hair wet and body still glistening with water. He complains, "Gosh KHushi what did you do last night? My back was burning whilst in the shower. "Khushi rushes to check, looks at his back and is aghast at the scratches made. Holds her hand to her mouth, "Hey Devi Mayya yeh kya kiya mein ne...One second." Goes into the bathroom and gets the antiseptic lotion and applies on his back. He winces with the burning sensation. She then applies the soothing lotion. Gosh! She forgot he was diabetic at that moment of passion; it was fatal to hurt him! She turns completely apologetic. But turns around with her hands on her waist looking a sight to him, "You have bruised me too Mister several times, but never applied any cream." That's It! Thought Arnav, wow what an opportunity, she just did not know what she just said and what it really meant. He turns to her and says pulling her into his arms with his hands around her waist, "You want me to do it now, and then take off your clothes." Khushi exasperated by his comment. "Are you crazy?... Come on now, let me check your sugar and let's go have breakfast." She continues again, "Nanheji wants to talk to you as well." He smiles, "Some thing is cooking up looks like." She nods with a smile...He gives in knowing everyone was waiting.
They finish the aarti and sit for breakfast. Khushi had ensured the milk was skimmed milk. Arnav questions Khushi, "What's this now, new diet food for me?" She replies, "Yes, better get used to it." He did not say anything further with Nani and all seated there. Then NK says he wanted to say something. Lavanya was seated beside him. Taking Lavanya's hand in his, he announces, "Naniji and Nanav mere bhai, I would like to tell you that I wish to marry Lavanya." All give out shouts of joy and cheers. He continues, "Lavanya will return back to London and me to Australia. Then my mom and I will travel to London to meet with LA's parent and finalize everything." Khushi moves and hugs Lavanya. Arnav asks, "And the wedding?" NK says not sure yet, "Most probably in London or Delhi, but it will definitely be this year or early next year." Naniji blesses the couple. Arnav hugs NK and announces, "Ok this calls for a celebration let us go out for dinner." Naniji says, "You youngsters go on. Now let's get ready for the pooja" which was around one in the afternoon." Khushi asks Anjali to join them for dinner, though she wasn't too keen.
Akash then speaks up, "Bhai, want you to know the house is confirmed. We managed to strike the deal." Khushi wonders what house, what were they talking about! She probes Arnav, "What house?" Arnav replies, "Talk to Payal about it later." Khushi looks at Payal across the table but Payal avoids her gaze.
They all get busy with the pooja preparations. The mandir was decorated by Khushi and Anjali. Khushi changes into a simple olive green sari for the pooja, whilst Arnav wore a simple white cotton kurta. He also ensures to make reservations for seven at the Masala Art restaurant in the Taj Palace Hotel.
Arnav was glad to see his household back to normal. So much had happened in their lives they needed this normalcy, these happy moments of sharing and joy. And Khushi was that link that entwined them all. She wasn't aware of it but he was and accepted the fact. His whole family did. She was the one who bound them together. They needed her more than she needed him or them. He had rejected God, it was Khushi who lead him to the path of acceptance and deliverance. And he knew then there was no turning back.
At the pooja, the pundit calls Arnav and Khushi forward to bless them and the Gods are invoked for blessings upon their contract and the new couple. Payal and Akash too come forward and the priest prays over them. NK and Lavanya too are called forward asking for blessings into their future. Anjali sits alongside her brother and Khushi.
Once the pooja was done they all sat to eat their lunch. Khushi had prepared Arnav's favourite pullav and kheer. Khushi was waiting to talk to Payal.
Arnav addresses Naniji, "Nani shayyad hume Hari prakash ke illawa aur kissi ko ghar ke kaam ke liye dhundna chahiye, now that Payal needs to be taken care of and Khushi has to study." (Wwe need to look for more house help)"
Naniji replies, "Chote aap ke bolne se pehle humne yeh socha tha, woh humara Hariprakash agle mahine shaadi karnewala hai, toh uski patni humare saath kam karegi. Woh teen mahine chutti leh raha hai." Arnav, "What everyone wants to suddenly get married! Three months Nani, why, just give him leave for a week."
Anjali Di laughs saying, "Chote tumhari hawa lag gayi sabb ko."
Anjali interrupts, "Chote the poor guy is leaving his home to come and live with us alongwith his wife. Let him take his leave. In the meantime his brother Om Prakash and his wife will join us for three months. Leave it to us women to handle it, you take care of AR Group problems." Arnav frowns, "Fine, but you women have a tendency to spoil these guys." Khushi retorts back, "Not spoil we look after them and their families since they take care of us." Arnav shaking his head gave up, "As you all say."
Everyone retires to their rooms after lunch. Arnav goes back to their room. He sits outside with a book trying to relax. Khushi prepares coffee and brings it up to their room. She finds him sitting at the poolside. She places the coffee tray on the table. Arnav takes her hand and pulls her onto his lap winding his arm around the front of her bare waist. She puts her arm around his neck. He says, "Hmm ...this sari looks good on you." Khushi delighted with his remarks, 'Really thanks, Di had given me this sari as shagun in Lucknow." He continues, "It's my choice Baby." Arnav continues, "But in the evening for dinner wear something that we picked up in Dubai." and looks at her face knowing what she intends to say, "Don't worry Nani won't say anything, just trust me, will you." Khushi agrees. He continues caressing her waist , "Khushi I know I have been busy these days, haven't spent much time with you...another couple of days I guess then things will come back to routine." Khushi takes his hand in hers and answers, " Arnav, please it is okay I understand after all this hard work is for us I have no complaints...just that you don't neglect yourself, that is all. You cannot afford to skip meals. You haven't been to the doctor for ages. I do not understand you sometimes." Arnav loves her concern and care for him, "Baby I just don't like doctors." Khushi, "Well Jaan beggars can't be choosers. You just do not have a choice. Let me know when you can find the time to visit your doctor." Arnav, "Fine, now I need to know what you have been doing with your books. Are they just kept there or are you really studying. Come on let me check." Khushi thinking oh gosh he sure wants to get back to me, "Please Arnav not today its Sunday, even schools and colleges are closed. We can sit tomorrow. I want to go to Payal and talk to her." Arnav knowing she wants to escape the topic of books, "Payal must be resting, leave her alone, you can go a little later….….and you Mrs. Raizada are now going to show me what you have covered, come on lets go in and lifts her by the waist off his lap, no escape Sunday or no Sunday." He pulls her by the hand and brings her into their room.
Seeing her reluctance he insists that she show him the subjects she had covered with her reading.
