pms later, sorry!
Chapter 6 - last
"Done eating or want some more?" Arnav teased Khushi.
"Oh please. I haven't eaten properly since She-" Khushi exclaimed and stopped suddenly.
"Oh did you now? Why I remember you having a feast just a night ago" he raised his eyebrows.
"That was needed...I was preparing myself for the fast" she explained.
Taking his tea from buaji, he went back into the room and asked Khushi to follow when she gets done.
~~~
"When are we going back home?" she asked, entering the room.
"Soon after we are done"
"Done with what?" she asked confused.
"We need to talk, we have some more unresolved issues"
Khushi timidly made her way to bed and plopped down with a low thud.
"Mhmm I am all ears" she half smiled.
"Khushi I need...no...we need to have sex often" there he said it.
"W-w-when did I say no?" she flushed crimson.
"You say no, not with your mouth but with your actions. As a husband and wife, we don't spend that quality time together. Yes you take care of me, my food, things but there are times when I want you, just you, alone. I don't care if we stare into space during that time, as long as you're with me" he patiently explained.
"You have the nights with me" she murmered stepping down from the bed and went over to him.
"That's not enough for me. I-I want to be called at work ten times by you, I want us to go out, alone, for dinner, movie, shopping, whatever it is"
Khushi sat on his lap sideways and smiled shyly.
"I didn't think you will like that"
"I love everything and anything done by you" he whispered.
"I will engrave that in my head Mr. Raizada. Anything else?"
"Yes. If there is anything in your head, any thought, any feeling, promise me you will share it with me"
"I will. Same thing to you as well sir. I don't want you hiding anything from me"
"I won't, I don't"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah"
"Will you tell me everything about your past?"
Arnav did not expect that. Not again.
"I dont think that is a wise question Khushi"
"No I dont just mean your exes, I mean everything else. I want to take away all the pain you ever had suffer" she places a kiss on his cheek.
"You are already working on it Khushi. You erase every bad time of my life. You have changed me, shown me a new life"
"I think you have changed me as well...upto a certain extent..." she smiled at him.
"Khushi, people learn from mistakes and experience. What all happened was another mistake of ours. We can't let this repeat. I hate getting annoyed at you"
"I hated it more than you. Do you have any idea how your irritation and temper made me feel even more low of myself"
"Babe you're perfect the way you are. I love your imperfections, they make you Khushi" he lovingly tucked her hair behind her ear.
"So from now on we are going to talk? About everything anything" she concluded.
"Yes maam" he grinned at her and puckered his lips for a kiss when somebody clearing their throat sprung them apart.
Payal stood by the door coolly and asked, "are you two ready leave?"
"You still didn't leave?" Arnav asked exasperatedly.
"Yes jiji almost" Khushi jumped up and got ready to back her house.
~~~
The Raizada women sat together appreciating each other silently.
"Khushi I knew you would come back eventually. I am glad you did. What you and Arnav have is much stronger than just love" nani smiled, her eyes moist.
"Oh yes, nani is right. I pray to God no more problems come in your life, but if God forbid they do then I am sure you and chotte will overcome them all...together" Anjali beamed with happiness.
All Khushi could do was let her heart expand to its will. With so many promises, she made one more of keeping the bond between her husband and her secure, always, forever.
~~~
While Arnav waited for his wife to get in bed, he had a moment where he thanked God for bringing Khushi back to her place. Folding his hands behind his head, he wondered if this, athiest part of him would change as well. Even if it did, it wont be any surprise. For her, he knew he would do anything.
He heard the bathroom door creak open and then shut.
He closed his eyes, waiting for her to get in, next to him. Of course she would be taking forever.
Finally he felt weight climb onto the bed, skid closer and,
"What the Khushi!" Arnav sat up as Khushi straddled him.
"Hi" she shyly looked at him.
Arnav stared at the woman on him in a...where the hell did she get that from?
A nightie, not too fancy, red cotton slip, with a lacy neck, thin straps, he could see her thighs as it had ridden up by her sitting with legs apart.
"You said we should have sex often..." she grinned teasingly.
"You're absolutely perfect. And all mine" he felt her, up her thighs, her waist and back.
"Yes" she squirmed under his touch and moaned softly.
"Before I get lost in you, I have something for us" he brought his hands back down.
"Huh? What?" she asked in a haze.
Stretching his arm out he picked up an envelope from the night table and waved it front of her face.
"What is that?"
"Open it"
Her mouth dropped open into a perfect o and of course eyes widened.
"Shimla?!" she exclaimed.
"Yep, I heard its very cosy and romantic, a good place for couples" he grinned at her.
"Oh this is so awesome Arnav! I can't wait!" she engulfed him in a huge bear hug.
"Neither can I, even more now...seeing you in this" he slid his hands inside her material.
She closed her eyes, feeling his touch burn her skin.
"Oh Arnav I love you"
"I love you too"
Moving the cotton slip up her tummy, he bent forward to kiss her belly button.
"Arnav?" she half moaned.
"hmm?"
"Can jiji and jeeja ji come with us?"
Arnav stilled over her tummy.
Biting her lip, Khushi tried to stiffle her giggle but failed and bursted into laughter.
Arnav picked her up off him, and playfully threw her on her back joining her on top, and showed her light in the darkness while taking away her breath.
