Part 13 Khushi in RM

The next morning

Arnav and Khushi were sleeping, hugging each other. Arnav opened his eyes and saw Khushi in his arms. He remembered their apology session that happened the previous night. He kissed her lovingly. Thank God, everything fell in the right place without much fuss. He knew Khushi and the depth of her love. She couldn't be without him. He kissed her forehead again. Khushi slowly opened her eyes and smiled at him.

"Khushi..."

"Mmm?"

"How did you live without me?" he asked.

"Who said I LIVED? I was DYING each and every second..."

"I'm also... The vacuum you created killed me. I didn't understand anything that why did you leave me..."

"I didn't think SOMEONE could talk in your voice. Who could have done so?"

"That's what we have to find"

"But how?"

"Radhika and Kiran should not know we patched up"

"But why?"

"Just pretend like you are angry with me."

"But why?"

"We should not make them get alerted. Let them think their plan worked. Then only they will freely move their coin."

"Should we be in distance for a few more days?"

"No way..." he said tightening his grip.

"But it won't make sense Arnavji..."

"You leave it on me. I will take care of it"

They saw Anu waking up from her sleep. Khushi tried to get up, but Arnav pressed her head on his chest and whispered.

"Shhh... Let's see what she does"

He too pretended like, sleeping.

Anu searched for her mother as usual. She got stuck, seeing her mother in the new man's arms. For a few seconds, she could not understand anything. She crawled fast and tapped Khushi with caution as if the man next to her mother was a GOON and he could kidnap Khushi anytime. Khushi tried to look at her, but Arnav didn't let her and tightened his grip around her. Anu got a little closer to Khushi and pulled her hair. Khushi looked at her.

"Oooo..." Anu warned her.

"No beta, he is not a goon," Khushi said, controlling her smile.

"What the..." Came from Arnav.

Anu sat on Khushi's lap and looked at Arnav tilting her head cutely. Arnav pulled Khushi and Anu shouted at him.

"Ooo..."

"Arnavji, don't make her annoyed..."

"I just am playing..."

"She will not get attached to you, if you play with her like this, Arnavji..."

"Ok, ok, what do you want to meet to do?"

"Just be casual... Don't nag her."

"Then how will she get close to me?"

"Let her get used to your presence first"

"Mmm..."

Khushi got down from the bed, taking Anu in her hand. Anu stared at Arnav until Khushi entered the washroom.

Taking his mobile Arnav dialed Radhika. She attended the call.

"Arnav beta, how are you?"

Without answering,

"I'm coming to Delhi today. You said you came to RM to meet me. You can come to RM if you want to meet me"

"Oh yes... I will surely come to RM with Kiran. It's been a long we meet you... I will be there when you come to Delhi"

"Mmm"

Arnav disconnected the call. He walked to the washroom and saw Khushi bathing Anu. Anu was sitting in the water tub that was being filled with warm water. Anu, who was playing with water, stopped tapping water and looked at Arnav. Khushi was supposed to look at Arnav, but Anu didn't let her do it by cupping her face. Arnav dropped his jaw seeing her doing that.

Taking a towel, Khushi wrapped Anu in it and came out. Khushi dressed up Anu and brought her to Manorama's room. Aman and NK were also there with Manorama.

"Aunty, I want to get ready. Could you please look after, Anu?"

"I will look after her... give her to me" NK took Anu from Khushi.

Khushi was about to leave,

"How was your day with your husband?" Manorama asked.

"We patched-up, aunty"

All three widened their eyes.

"Really?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"How did the miracle happen?"

"He apologized to me genuinely even though he was not at fault"

"That's great..."

Aman huffed in relief whereas NK looked at her with disbelief.

"He too suspecting Radhika aunty and Kiran"

"I think he is thinking in the right way," Manorama said.

"He asked me to pretend in front of them, like, I'm still angry with Arnavji"

"Yeah... ASR is right, then only they will try to do something to keep you in distance"

"Yes, he too told me the same"

"Did he say anything else?"

Khushi nodded no.

"Ok, go and get ready," Manorama said.

Khushi went to her room.

"I can't believe this..." NK said.

"I expected this" Manorama smiled.

"But how? Was not Khushi angry with him?"

"She was angry with him because she loves him very much. She could not tolerate his words that ripped her heart because he was the one who she loved the most. I know she will forgive him if he apologizes to her. I understood, he was genuinely feeling bad for getting separated from her. I believed they will sort out their problem if they get the chance. That's why I asked him to stay here. That's what exactly happened..."

"Fantastic Massi" Aman smiled.

"We should keep one thing in our mind. We too should pretend like, they don't patch up. Those women should not get doubt on us"

"Yeah... you are right"

"And there are many things we should do in RM," Aman said.

NK nodded ok.

"Will you?"

"Definitely... for Khushi's happiness..." NK said.

Aman smiled.

Khushi came to her room and took her clothes from the cupboard to have a shower. She waited as Arnav was in the washroom. He came out of the washroom, getting fresh.

"Arnavji, how will you manage your dress?"

"I will wear the same dress that I was wearing yesterday as I just wore it last evening only"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah... Akash will bring my bag to the airport only"

"Oh..."

She went to the washroom and came to finish her bath. She saw Arnav fully ready. She also got ready as they have to reach the Airport.

"When is the flight Arnavji?"

"11'o clock"

"Oh...ok"

"Have not you packed your stuff?"

"I have to pack only Anu's stuff."

"Yours?"

"I have enough stuff at RM"

She packed Anu's dresses in a big size bag and her things in a lockable basket.

"That Cicada has this much stuff?"

Khushi nodded yes chuckling and said,

"Finished"

Arnav pulled her towards him, clutching her upper arm. Khushi looked at him bewildered. Arnav cuddled her emotionally. Khushi reciprocated with a bright smile.

"I missed you"

Khushi closed her eyes and kissed his cheek strongly.

"Let's go..."

Arnav walked out, taking Anu's bag. Khushi followed him with confusion. Anu hopped from NK to Khushi. Arnav came to Manorama.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to stay here. That's why we could sort out our issues"

"You both are nice people. you deserve happiness..." Manorama said.

Arnav looked at Khushi. she came to them and they took blessings from Manorama by touching her feet making Manorama melt.

"Livelong with all the happiness..." she said choking.

Aman and NK stood smilingly.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes... we are ready" Manorama said looking at their suitcases.

"Shall we leave?"

"Have breakfast beta... then we can leave"

Arnav nodded ok. They had breakfast together. After having breakfast, they headed to the Airport.

Akash was waiting for Arnav with his bag at the airport.

"Thank you, Akash"

"Welcome buddy..." he said looking at Khushi.

"She is my wife, Khushi"

"Namaste" Khushi smiled.

"Namaste... you made the great Arnav Singh Raizada mad..." Akash smiled.

Khushi glanced at Arnav.

"Hi, angel..." Akash pinched Anu's cheek slightly.

Anu pushed his hand. Akash again tried to touch her cheek again and she again pushed.

"You are right Arnav... she is so brisk"

"Yeah... angrier too..."

"Just like you"

"Can't help..." Arnav laughed.

"Keep in touch Arnav"

"Sure... you too try to get transfer to Delhi"

"Yeah, I'm also thinking the same"

They heard their flight's announcement.

"Ok, Arnav... see you," Akash said.

"Bye... take care"

They boarded the flight. Anu was constantly looking at Arnav who was sitting next to her mother.

"Oooo" Arnav said, like, she did.

Anu looked at Khushi and leaned on her shoulder. Khushi hugged her protectively when the flight took off. They landed in Delhi within two hours. Mohan was waiting for them at the airport to take them to RM.

They traveled to RM. As Arnav expected, Radhika and Kiran were already present at RM. They smiled at each other when Arnav walked in. He saw their curious faces.

"Hari Prakash... bring a thali to welcome..." Arnav said standing at the entrance of the RM.

HP brought the thali that he already prepared to welcome Khushi and Anu. He was told to do that by Arnav.

"We will welcome you," Radhika said taking the thali from HP.

"Sure...sure..." Kiran said.

Radhika brought the thali and was supposed to circle it around Arnav,

"Wait... it's not for me..."

He turned around and walked to Khushi. clutching her hand, he dragged her with him. Radhika and Kiran were horrified, seeing Khushi with a girl baby. They looked at each other with pale faces.

"Circle the thali now," Arnav said and Khushi pretended to like it, she was trying to come out of his clutch.

Radhika circled the thali with unbelievable expression.

"Let's go..." Arnav said.

"I won't stay with you," Khushi said.

"You are going to be with me and that's final" Arnav started dragging her to his room.

Radhika became more shocked when Manorama, Aman, and NK entered RM with their bags.
