Forced to Love? ~ Part 5
"So did you guys enjoy yourselves chote?"
"Yeah it was great di."
"Have you guys eaten or should I get HP to warm you some food."
"No it's ok di, we've eaten!"
"Ok, goodnight."
Arnav and Khushi left and made their way towards their room. Arnav allowed Khushi to enter first and then entered. He shut the door behind him and locked it. Khushi heard the lock and her insides clenched.
She gipped the side of her sari and Arnav noticed this.
"Don't worry, I wont force myself onto you. I'll wait until you are ready."
This caused Khushi to relax, but she wasn't sure. Somehow only last night she had ended up in a tight embrace with him. How could she be sure he wouldn't try anything.
Arnav went into the bathroom and got ready for bed. Once he came out, Khushi took her nightdress and went into the bathroom. She came out in a short silky nightdress. Arnav looked up and was dazed by her beauty.
"You know Khushi, you don't want me to try anything on you, yet you go and do this. If you come to bed looking so hot, it will be hard for me to keep my hands off you!"
Khushi blushed and got into bed. Almost as soon as her head hit the pillow she was asleep.
*****
Khushi was drowning and no one was coming to help her. She had called out to everyone she knew, but no one came. Karan was walking past and she called out to him. He simply laughed in her face and walked away. She was drowning'
Khushi woke up with a fright. She looked around. She was safe, she was in bed. She looked to Arnav's side of the bed, but he wasn't there. Slowly she got up and went to the poolside, but he wasn't there. She opened their bedroom door and saw that there was a light on in one of the rooms ahead of her. She walked over to it and realised that it was a storeroom. She pushed the door open and saw Arnav inside. She walked in and shut the door behind her. She approached him, and then placed a hand on his shoulder.
He turned and smiled looking at his confused wife. Khushi noticed that he had tears in his eyes.
"What are you doing awake at this time of night?"
"Are you ok? And I should be asking you that question, what are you doing up at this time of night?"
"I was missing my Ma. That's why I came here. You know Khushi it's her birthday today. If she was still alive she would have been 50 today! Gosh, she was so young when she died, it's not fair!"
Arnav began crying bitterly. Khushi hugged him, trying to comfort him. He pulled himself together slightly.
"I hate my father. He's still alive, enjoying life, yet my mom, my beautiful mom. She gone. Khushi you asked me why I married you. I told you some of my reasons, but she's the rest of them. She always wanted a beautiful and educated daughter-in-law. Someone who would look after the family and me. And after meeting you, I just knew, you had to be the one! And what's more is that you have her eyes."
He pointed towards a photograph and Khushi saw it. His mother had the same eyes as her.
"It's crazy, but your eyes remind me to much of my mothers. I see the same amount of love in your eyes that I always saw in hers; I guess that's another reason why I wanted to marry you."
"You are one of the sweetest men I've ever met, you know that Arnav?"
"I didn't know, thanks for telling me."
"Shall we go back to bed?"
"Yeah."
They walked back to their bedroom.
"Khushi, why are you awake, I left you asleep?"
"I had a nightmare. I'm not used to sleeping alone. I guess when you left, that's when they started."
"I make your nightmares go away."
"Well yeah, as long as I have someone next to me at night, I don't have nightmares."
"Should I tell you something Khushi?"
"If you want to."
"Last night was the first time in 14 years I didn't have a nightmare."
"Really, why?"
"Because you were sleeping in my arms."
