Next morning..
Khushi woke up opening her eyes lazily she sat on bed yawning and earned a kiss on her forehead by her husband, "Good morning.." he wished her and hurriedly went towards the dressing table taking out his things.

"Good morning.." she smiled blinking her eyes as she didn't expect such a kiss.

She was about to put her feet out of the bed when Arnav's voice stopped her, "Angel.. don't move!"

She looked at him with questioning look.

"I told you that you need rest and you're not going to work today.." Arnav said walking towards her, he placed her legs back to bed and covered her with blanket.

"You're not serious, are you?" Khushi asked gasping.

"I'm.. what makes you think I will joke around with your health?" Arnav frowned.

"I'm fine now Arnav ji, please believe me.. I want to go to Arshi.." Khushi tried to convince him.

"Still I'm not sure about it, you're not going to work.. your wound is still fresh and you can't walk here and there.. so sleep!" Arnav said stubbornly.

"You mean to say I should stay alone in this big mansion?" Khushi glared at him.

"Should I call Dadi or Maya aunty?" Arnav asked.

Khushi turned to other side of the bed and buried her face on pillow, "Nahin.."

Arnav loosened his tie, "I'm staying with you then.."

Khushi looked back at him smiling, "That's better.."

Arnav came on top of her tickling her tummy smiling, "That's all you wanted!"

Khushi laughed trying to escape from him.

Arnav stopped tickling her, staring satisfied at her seeing her laugh so heartily after a long time.

Rabba vee.. Rabba vee..

"I'm on right track to bring you back to your old self.. I just wish no one manages to break you like I did and no one comes in between our relationship.." Arnav thought.

Khushi stare at him, "What happened Arnav ji?"

"Nothing.." Arnav nodded sideways, "What would you like to have for breakfast?"

"It's been a long time I didn't eat jalebis!" Khushi said licking her lips imagining herself eating her favorite sweet.

Arnav chuckled at her expression, "Okay jalebis will be served for you then.."
He went outside their room, Khushi smiled watching him leave the room.

****************************************************************************
Sometime later..
Khushi was having breakfast with Arnav chatting with him over casual things.

"You know yesterday Buaji and Jiji came here.." Khushi said.

"What did they said?" Arnav became alerted.

"Jiji was asking forgiveness from me, but I'm not ready for this now.. I can't treat nor look at them the same way I did before.. I have been selfless all my life for them, but in return I only got pain from them.. They never trusted me Arnav ji.. You didn't knew me and it was easy for you to trust your family over me, but they.. they know me since I was kid.. my own family didn't trust in me.. It really hurt me.." she looked at him sobbing.

"It's okay.. I understand, you are right.. there's no need to feel pressurized to forgive Payal Khushi.. you forgive her when you feel like.." Arnav said rubbing her shoulder to calm her.

"Buaji.. Why did she came here? She still hates you right.." he asked.

"I was wondering about same, but soon my doubts were cleared.. she also came to get my forgiveness but not because she really means it, she's just behind me because now I'm owner of all your property.." Khushi said with sad smile.

"Oh yeah.. How could I forget about that?" Arnav rolled his eyes.

The door bell ring and Khushi was about to stand up to attend it, when Arnav pulled her back to her seat, "Sit quietly here.. HP will go and see who is it.."

Khushi pouted while HP left to open the door immediately.

"No one leaves us in peace in this house it seems.." Arnav muttered.

"Good morning.." they heard a known voice. Khushi smiled but Arnav didn't.

"Nakuul tum.." she said amused.

"Yes me, I came here to greet this beautiful lady and get to know if she's better or not.." Nakuul smiled giving a bouquet of flowers to Khushi.

Khushi took it from him inhaling the fragrance smiling, "Thank you!"

"Good morning ASR.." Nakuul shook hands with Arnav who just nod his head, "Morning!"

"Sit here.. have breakfast with us!" Khushi invited him chirpily.

"Thanks.." Nakuul said and sat on his chair, "So is it true you're going to stay one month without coming to Arshi?"

"Any problem?" Arnav asked irked.

"One month like seriously.." Nakuul laughed, "It's too much for just a small accident.."

Khushi pouted, "Yeh Tangaballi ki rules hain (These are Tangaballi's rules)"

"I'm seeing.." Nakuul whispered and glanced at Arnav who was sternly staring at both.

"I pray to God to not give my type of husband to anyone in this world!" Khushi said giggling.

Nakuul also joined her in laughing.

Arnav left from there frowning and went to his study leaving his juice and food unfinished on the plate.

Khushi looked at him heading towards his study, then at his plate.

"Jealous.." Nakuul replied.

"Do you think so?" Khushi asked confused, "But why would he be jealous of you? You have your girlfriend too and.."

"Did you tell him about me and Anika?" Nakuul asked.

Khushi nodded sideways widening her eyes, "I didn't.. he is jealous.. oh my God, he is jealous!!!"

"Yeah he is, what's there to be shocked about?" Nakuul chuckled.

"He is jealous.. don't you get what it means? He never felt jealous of me being close to a man before.. but he did today.. it is said when a man is jealous of a girl being close to another man other than him means he loves that girl.. so it's possible that Arnav ji is falling in love with me.." Khushi smiled whispering to Nakuul while explaining him.

"But he is your husband.. doesn't he love you already?" Nakuul asked confused.

"He doesn't believe in love.. he only said to me that he trusts me a lot but never confessed his love to me.." Khushi said.

"Does that mean from the day you guys got married he never said I love you to you?" Nakuul widened his eyes.

"Nahin.. but love doesn't need words to be felt.. see even he doesn't know that what he doesn't want to happen, already happened.. he already fell in love with me!" Khushi said.

"That's true also.." Nakuul nodded, "I will get going because Arshi is calling me!"

"Okay bye.." Khushi waved at him smiling.

"Bye.. get well soon!" he patted her head as he stood up.

"Is everything alright between you and Anika now? See I forgot to ask.." Khushi asked hitting her forehead.

"Yes, we are back together thanks to you Khushi.. Anika is so excited to meet you now.. why don't we go on a dinner date with your jealous husband?" Nakuul asked.

"Sure.. that's a great idea!" Khushi nodded smiling.

Nakuul left from there meanwhile Khushi started screaming Arnav's name.

Arnav came to the dining hall in hurry and worried for her, "What happened?"

Khushi open her arms pouting asking him to lift her.
Arnav lifted her in one move, walking towards the living room, "What happened?"

Khushi smiled staring at his face, the cute jealousy frown was intact on his face, he was trying to show that he was angry but his care for her won over him.

Khushi kissed his cheek soundly, "Nakuul is just my friend.."

"I know.." Arnav shrugged and made her comfortable on couch switching on the TV for her.

"Then why did you left suddenly?" Khushi asked smirking.

"Important work!" he replied curtly and sat beside her deliberately not keeping eye contact with her as he changed the channels.

"Do you really have a problem in sharing your feelings with me? I've seen all your sides Arnav ji, when you're angry, happy, upset, broken.. I've seen you cry a lot too!" Khushi said.

"Did I cry?" he asked making a confused look.

Khushi rolled her eyes, "Does it hurt your man ego to admit you cried?"

"It was only once.. you better not talk about that day.." Arnav said admitting it.

"Why?" she asked.

"I don't like to cry.." he shrugged.

Khushi cupped his face and bite his nose, making Arnav whine, "You can cry and laugh with me Arnav ji.. I'm never going to spread your weakness to the world and never going to let anyone cast an evil eye on that beautiful smile of yours!"

Arnav smiled feeling touched by her words.

"And I want to tell you Nakuul's story.. That's what he talked with me that day I went to dinner in his house.." Khushi started narrating everything to him and Arnav listened to her patiently.

"That's it.. now both reunited with each other and they plan to keep a dinner date with you, me, Anika and Nakuul.." Khushi said.

"Oh.." Arnav nodded realizing how foolishly he behaved now.

"Oh.." Khushi mimicked him smiling.

"Watch TV Khushi.." he turned her face to the TV side making Khushi giggled at him.

She rested her head on Arnav's shoulder, while Arnav was confused with his own feelings. He knows Nakuul is just friend of Khushi and works with her in Arshi, then why did he reacted like that seeing another man close to Khushi other than him?

"I have reply to your question.." Khushi said.
"What?" Arnav asked.

"You're jealous Arnav ji of Nakuul.." Khushi said.

"What rubbish.. Why would I be jealous? I know you're my wife and he's just your friend.. I'm not jealous.." Arnav shook his head.

Khushi rolled her eyes sighing, "How did I even thought I would say such simple things and this Laad governor will understand my words?!"
