Arnav has gone out of town for 2 days for some official work . In the mean time khushi goes to naani's room
" khushi bitiya, why are you standing at the door, come inside."
Khushi fidgets with her dupatta," naani ji I wanted your permission."
"tell me bitiya what is it?"
Gazing back expectantly at naani, she replies, "tomorrow is karwachauth. I know that arnav ji doesn't believe in all this but I wish to fast for him."
Naani's face lightens up," why do you need my permission? If you want to keep a fast for chotte then go ahead. I'll make all the arrangements and don't worry about chotte. I shall handle him too."
" naani ji you are the best." Khushi comes forward and hugs naani tightly.
Next day khushi wakes up early to have sargi (some food one has before fasting). naani arranges a small puja for all married women in the evening .
khushi decides to get ready for the puja and stands in front of her open cupboard but is unable to select a sari when suddenly she feels a pair of hands snake around her waist, she turns her head to see arnav hugging her from behind. She smiles as his hands grip her firmly and rests his chin on her shoulder.
Brushing his stubble against her soft cheek he confesses," jaan I missed you so much."
Khushi relishes this closeness and presses herself against him.
Arnav picks up a beautiful orange colored sari for her. She takes it and goes to the washroom to change. After changing into the sari Arnav holds her hand and makes her sit on the stool in front of the dressing table. He then kneels down in front of her, picks up a pair of anklets and places her foot on his knee. He strokes her foot playfully, making her tickle. Lowering his face he places a soft kiss on her foot before tying the anklet around it. He does the same with her other foot.
Khushi wriggles when he takes her bare hands in his and kisses them. He then pushes matching bangles in them ever so slowly. The bangles make a tinkling sound which brings a smile on his face.
He then gets up and tucks her hair behind her ears. Without asking khushi too stands up. She lets out an audible sigh when arnav bends down to take her earlobe in his teeth and bites it gently. He fixes a pair of dangling earrings and blows on her ear naughtily. Khushi's cheeks turn pink automatically.
Arnav walks behind her picks her long hair and places them on her right shoulder. His eyes blaze with passion on seeing her milky white back exposed, as strings of her blouse remain undone. Her heart pounds loudly inside her chest as his fingers work with the strings on her back.
Arnav enjoys seeing his wife getting jittery and coy when he brushes his lips on her neck. Khushi squeezes her eyes shut as Arnav ties a delicate diamond necklace around her neck. After tying the necklace he places her hair back and turns her around
He cups her face in his hands. She peers up at him with adoration. She looks breathtaking, just like a newly wedded wife. Tilting her face slightly he brings his lips close to hers. khushi closes her eyes in anticipation and her lips curve into a smile.
Few seconds later she hears Naani calling out to her. She opens her eyes immediately and finds naani standing in front of her. She looks around for arnav but finds him absent.
"what happened bitiya, you dozed off while sitting? Look your hinnah has also dried up. Get ready for the puja fast. Chotte must be on his way back."
Khushi slowly shakes her head and mentally kicks herself. So this was all a dream? But a sweet one.
"naani ji I'll be down in ten minutes."
Naani leaves and khushi gets ready just the way arnav had dressed her up in her dream. She picks up Arnav's photo frame and runs her fingers over his picture before urging " please come soon. See your khushi is decked up just the way you wanted."
After completing the puja with married women khushi keeps pacing up and down waiting eagerly for her husband to return. Her empty stomach churns and grumbles on seeing delicious dishes laid out on the dining table.
"khushi the moon is out. Bitiya open your fast."
Khusi gazes up at the moon longingly.
"Arnav must have got stuck in some work. How long will you wait for him?"
Khushi smiles back reassuringly," naani ji I'm fine. And I'm sure he will be here any minute."
"As you wish. Today I shall not force you. But do let me know when chotte returns. I am in my room."
khushi starts arranging her puja ki thali (plate) when the phone rings. She picks it up. Her eyes turn wide and her heart comes to her mouth.
She drops the phone down and rushes out of the house with her puja plate. She instructs the driver to take her to the farmhouse as soon as possible. On reaching there she walks towards the gate slowly and opens it. She finds Arnav standing a little far away,she runs into his arms and hugs him, as if her life depends upon him.
" Arnav ji are you alright?" she asks hurriedly after breaking the hug.
"yeah."
"then that phone call?"
Arnav pulls her close by her waist and replies ,"oh that, I just wanted to surprise you."
Khushi pushes him back, " surprise? That was your surprise? Your silly surprise almost killed me."
Arnav steps closer and makes a puppy face,"sorry jaan."
Khushi turns away and crosses her arms before her chest, "you can't be forgiven so easily." Arnav trails his hand over her bare arm and asks seductively, "so what does my wishes me to do?" Khushi looks at him sternly and says, "hold your ears and do sit ups."
"what, are you crazy ?"
"Mr. Raizada, I'm very much in my senses."
"But khushi how can I do this?"
His adorable wife doesn't seem to budge, " see, the driver is looking here."
"send away the driver. Simple."
"jaan just think, Arnav Singh Raizada doing sit ups, will it look nice?"
"Arnav Singh Raizada making prank calls also doesn't look nice."
Arnav realizes its better to send the driver away so he takes out all the things related to the puja from the car and tells him to go back and inform naani that khushi is with him .
Arnav holds his ears again and starts doing sit ups.
"At least tell me how many I'm supposed to do?"
" hundred."
"What? Do you expect me to do this the whole night?"
"why do you have something else on your mind?"
"of course, sweet heart."
Khushi notices the mischief in his eyes and presses her lips to suppress her smile.
After 20 sit ups she stops him
"Next time you scare me like this, I swear I'll make you do 200 sit ups."
Arnav sighs in relief and takes her to the sea facing garden which he had decorated with lights. khushi is amazed to see the place illuminated with colorful lights. A wide smile appears on her face and she gives a grateful look to him. Without any further delay she starts doing the puja. She looks at the moon from the sieve and then at Arnav who winks at her naughtily leaving her shy. Then she does his aarti . Arnav opens her fast by offering her water and some sweet . Khushi is happy to be with her husband in this moon lit night and they both share a deep eye lock.
"What are you looking at?" she asks softly.
"My moon is far prettier than the one above in the sky."
Khushi blushes and smiles down.
"you look lovely tonight. But something is missing."
She gives him a questioning look. Arnav smiles and closes her eyes with his hand then takes out a beautiful maang tika and places it on her forehead. He drops a feather like kiss on her forehead . Khushi opens her eyes and looks at him lovingly
"thanks arnav ji, but there was no need for this."
"there was no need for you to fast but still you kept the fast. Why?"
" because I love you."
"so I also love you."
Arnav holds her hand and looks into her eyes deeply, " khushi, our love is beyond these customs and gifts. We are doing this because we are special for one another. And we wish to make the moments that we spend together not just special but memorable."
Khushi smiles as tears of happiness well up in her eyes.
"hey, no tears now. Let's have some food."
Arnav has arranged a bar be que, he asks khushi to wait for him at the table while he goes and brings some hot veg kebabs along with paneer tikka for her.
"wow, this looks delicious. Who made all this?"
Arnav peers down at her in amusement,"your hubby, my dear."
"but when?"
" since evening I'm here decorating and arranging everything for you."
Khushi thinks to herself , how sweet. This night is getting better with every passing moment all thanks to her husband. With the cool breeze blowing and the waves crashing on the shore, they feed each other lovingly. In between arnav purposely licks her finger tips when she brings them close to his mouth.
When they are done with the dinner,arnav pulls her down in his lap and envelopes her in his arms. Khushi feeling cold cuddles to him and listens to his rhythmic heart beat. A while later he senses her shiver. Kissing the top of her head he suggests, "let's go inside."
Moving back she agrees, "yeah, I haven't seen the house yet."
Standing on their feet, in one swift move, arnav picks her up in his strong arms making her gasp.
"remember how you entered Raizada mansion for the first time after marriage?"
Khushi smiles and buries her face in the crook of his neck.
After taking her in he puts her down in the hall. He plays some light music and draws her close to him. He wounds her arms around his neck and wraps his around her slim waist. Holding each others gaze they sway to the music. Arnav twirls her then presses her back to his chest. Her breathing quickens when he nuzzles her neck. He hears her soft moan as fingers make small circles around her belly button and his lips kiss her shoulder. Khushi grips his hand when she feels him tugging the pleats of her sari.
Unable to control the passion burning within him, arnav scoops her up one more time and heads toward the bedroom. Aromatic candles placed at different corners of the room flicker silently. The bed is covered with rose petals. Arnav has definitely left no stone unturned to make this night spectacular for khushi.
Pinning her to the bed with his hips, she sighs deeply and clutches his shirt in her fists. Yanking him down she diminishes the distance between them. His heated gaze hover over her angelic face and she desires to drown herself in his passionate eyes. His head slowly drops to claim her tender pink lips. Her nails dig into his back as she kisses him with equal love. His lips explore every inch of her body forcing her to shut her eyes as this is just the beginning of their night of passion.
