Part 26
Their precious five days, filled with love, passion, tenderness and lots of laughter flew by much too soon and they were back at Sachin's house warmly welcomed back by them.
It was decided that Arnav would leave a week sooner than Khushi to avoid being seen at the Mumbai airport together.
Eveyone went with Arnav to see him off at the airport...
They looked away discreetly as Arnav hugged a tearful Khushi.
"It's only a week silly, Arnav whispered, feeling his eyes getting moist too.
As he hugged Sachin and the twins, he felt a sense of belonging with them. Having lost his parents in a car accident, when he was only five and raised by his late grand father, he had never really known what being part of a family was like. He had really grown very fond of them in such a short time.
Clearing his throat he said, "You all should really come to my next movie's premiere".
He turned to the twins, who were strangely quiet today, looking like they were going to burst in tears any moment now.
Taking a DVD from his pocket, he said, "This is for you guys. Hope this will make up for the track you never saw.." he said with his eyes glinting mischievously.
Returning home from airport, Khushi sat in the family room with the girls, not wanting to be alone.
Ria put the DVD in her laptop..
"To our biggest fans in the world...hope this makes it up for you", the screen read..
The opening cords of a song started...as the slide show of their honey moon pictures played on the screen...
Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jane
Kyun hona hi hai
Tum se hi din hota hai
Surmaiye shaam aati
Tumse hi tumse hi
Har ghari saans aati hai
Zindagi kehlati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi
Aankhon mein ankhen teri
Bahoon mein baahein teri
Mera na mujh mein kuch raha hua kya
Baaton mein baatein teri
Raatein saugatein teri
Kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya
hua kya
Mein kahin bhi jata hoon
Tumse hi mil jata hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi
Shor mein khamoshi hai
Thodi se Behoshi hai
Tum se hi tum se hi
Aadha sa wada kabhi
Aadhe se zayada kabhi
Jee chahe karlu is tarah wafa ka
Chode na chode kabhi
Tode na tute kabhi
Jo dhaga tumse jud gaya wafa ka
Mein Tera sarmaya hoon
Jo bhi mein ban paya hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi
Raste miljate hai
Manzile miljati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi
A beautiful moment in time of two people sharing a rare, God gifted love flashed on screen before blurring and giving way to the next.
Arnav and Khushi with their arms around each other with the deep blue expanse of the lake in the back ground.
Sitting on the silver beach together squinting at the Sun.
A just woken Khushi with tousled head not looking too happy at her picture being taken like this.
A self taken picture of their heads together with the back ground of fall colors.
Khushi sitting in an armchair by the fireplace with a mug in hand.
Standing in their deck with windblown hair looking smilingly at each other.
Khushi smiled with tears in her eyes, remembering that one evening when, while watching her all time favorite movie 'Jab we met' on Arnav's laptop, Arnav had suddenly gotten up and pulling her up with him, they had danced to this song laughingly.
When Sachin entered the family room immersed in a medical journal, he was surprised and amused to see his three girls crying their eyes out.
If one on hand, the 5 days of their honeymoon had flown, these 6 days of separation from her new husband crawled painstakingly.
Arnav, back in India and back to shooting for his new film, called her several times a day. "I will have your apartment cleaned and ready for you", he said when he called her the day before she was to leave for India.
"How are ...things?, Khushi asked hesitatingly.
"I think I am beginning to see good signs...Or at least my PR team says so...that Sheetal has been spotted having a good time with her new BF in the part circuit of Mumbai is helping matters a lot", he grinned. He didn't mention, who had very conveniently provided the media with this bit of information.
"Just 3 more weeks", Khushi said.
"Yes...but we can meet at my farmhouse in Panvel. Do you think I am going to survive 3 weeks without you?!
