Part 40

It is already more than two hours Khushi went. She still din't return. Arnav is looking for her impatiently.

"Why din't still Khushi din't came"thought Arnav.

Then he heard a door knock after sometime. He thought Khushi and went opened the door. But to his disappointment, Garima stood there along with Lavanya.

"Arnav beta. Lavanya made coffee for you."said Garima.

Arnav din't say anything. Garima signaled Lavanya to give him coffee.

"No aunty. I won't drink coffee"said Arnav irritatingly

"But beta. She made it for you"said Garima.

"I said that I don't drink coffee"said Arnav angrily and closed the door on their face.Both are stunned to his anger.

Arnav is working on his laptop when Khushi entered. She was looking soo happy.

"Why did you take soo much time ?'asked Arnav.

"Actually I was talking with my friend and forgot the time Arnaji"said Khushi happily

"You are looking soo happy. Seems like you enjoyed more"asked Arnav.

"Ha I enjoyed more"said Khushi happily.

"What will you girls usually talk about ?"asked Arnav.

"It's a secret between girls"said Khushi. Arnav just smiled to himself for her answer.

"Arnavji. Do you need anything ?"asked Khushi.

"Ha Khushi. Bring me coffee"said Arnav.

"You still din't have coffee. "asked Khushi. Arnav nodded as NO.

" I thought that you must have taken your coffee by this time."said Khushi.

"What made you to think soo ?"asked Arnav frowning.

"I thought that by this time your saali would have given you coffee. You would have enjoyed it more like you enjoyed the kheer"said Khushi.

Arnav understood that she is teasing him, he stood up and came near her.

"So you are teasing me"asked Arnav raising his eyebrow

"Me! Teasing you!! I don't even know what is teasing" said Khushi innocently . Arnav raised his eyebrow.

He came more near to her that Khushi hit the wall. He is very close to her

"Actually Khushi Lavanya brought me coffee but I said I don't want. Do you know why ?"asked Arnav.

"W..h......y ?"asked Khushi stammering. She doesn't know what is happening to her due to his close proximity.

"Because............"said Arnav, took her hand into his, and continued" I want to drink your hand made coffee. Your hand has a magic", kissed her hand shocking Khushi more.

She looked at him shyly , her cheeks turned into his favourite color, not able to control Arnav kiss her cheek. Khushi was lost in his touch. Then he kissed her other cheek too. Khushi just closed her eyes. Arnav's eyes travelled towards her rosy lips. He bent down to take her lips but...

Their trance is broken by the ringing of Khushi's mobile. Arnav moved away from her. Khushi lifted the call and disconnected it.

"Who's phone is it ?"asked Arnav.

"Credit card people"said Khushi.

"Khushi. Shall we continue ?'asked Arnav.

"What"asked Khushi shockingly.

"Which we stopped before sometime"said Arnav.

"Arnavji. Why did you do this ?"asked Khushi blushing heavily not looking into his eyes.

"Because I do have the habit of returning things in double"said Arnav.

Khushi looked at him confused.

Arnav understood that she din't get what he said" It's ok if you din't understood. Don't make strain your little brain. Now bring me one coffee"

Khushi went from there confusing. When she is going out Arnav called her and said" Rewind yesterday night. So that may be your bulb glows"

Khushi opened her mouth into a big O and went from there stamping her foot. Arnav smiled looking at her.

In the kitchen:

Khushi came into the kitchen thinking about Arnav's words "Rewind yesterday night. So that may be your bulb glows"

Khushi remembered yesterday night how she kissed him. She now understood what he meant. She blushed remembering this.

"Laadgovernor"thought Khushi. She is making black coffee for him. Lavanya entered the kitchen and looked at Khushi preparing black coffee.

"From when did you started having black coffee ?"asked Lavanya.

"This is not for me. This is for Arnavji"said Khushi.

"ASR!!!!!!!!!! He said he din't drink coffee"said Lavanya. Garima too came there.

"He drinks always black coffee only."said Khushi.

"Ok. Give it to me. I will give him"said Lavanya.

"It's ok. I will give"said Khushi.

"Can't you understand once. Give it to Lavanya"said Garima harshly. Lavanya took the coffee cup forcibly from Khushi and went for Arnav who just came out of the room.

"ASR. Your coffee"said Lavnaya giving to him.

"I said naa I won't drink coffee"said Arnav irritatingly. Garima and Khushi too came there.

"It is your favourite black coffee"said Lavanya.

Arnav saw Khushi face fell down. He silently took the coffee, had a sip of it. He went near Khushi and said" Wow. Khushi. Very tasty coffee. That is why I said your hands have a magic"

Khushi looked at him surprised while Lavanya and Garima shocked.

"ASR. How do u know that she made coffee ?"asked Lavanya.

"Khushi is my wife. Then how can't I know her hand made coffee?"said Arnav circling his arm around her shoulder.

Then turning to Khushi said "Come. Let's go" and took her to the hall.

Garima and Lavanya stood there fuming in anger.

In the hall:

The trio were sitting when the doorbell rang. Khushi went and opened the door. She saw a middle aged woman standing before her.

"Buaji!!!!!!!!"shouted Khushi happily.

Khushi moved aside and Buaji came inside.

"Jiji. Aap here."exclaimed shahsi.

"How are you ?"asked Shahsi.

"Fine"said Buaji. Arnav is looking at them confusingly. Hearing Khushi's voice, Garima and Lavanya too came there.

Khushi came and sat beside Buaji.

"Buaji. How are you ? I missed you"said Khushi and was going to hug her but buaji jerked away her.

"You stay away from me. don't talk with me"said Buaji angrily. Tears formed in Khushi's eyes. Arnav got angry and was going to say something but Shashi stopped him holding his hand.

Then buaji turning to Garima said" Are you going to stand there for whole day or will you bring coffee for me ?"

Garima nodded her head and almost ran into the kitchen.

Buaji looked at Lavanya with an angry disgusting look and said " You still wear this type of clothes. You will never change. Also the fault is not your's. The whole fault is your mom's. She only spoiled you. First go and change into something like a girl". Lavanya ran awy from there

"Buaji"called Khushi again. She ignored it.

"Buaji. What happened ? Why are you not talking with me ?"asked Khushi crying. It is getting harder for Arnav to see Khushi in that state.

" What happened ? You are asking me what happened ? You got married and you din't even inform me. I always treated you as my daughter. What do you think that I won't feel happy when my daughter is getting married. But you din't consider me as your maa. That is why you didn't inform me" said Buaji with tears.

Khushi hugged Buaji and said crying" I am sorry. Plz forgive me"

Buaji melted down by Khushi's words and said " Ok Ok. Now stop crying. I can't see tears in your eyes". She wiped down her tears.

"jiji. We thought to inform you but you went for yatra. There is not even a mobile near you. So we informed Arvind. But he too din't came due to office work. He informed before ten days only that you returned from your yatra"said Shashi. Buaji din't say anything.

"He is Khushi's husband. Arnav."said Buaji then turning to Arnav "She is my jiji. Khushi's buaji. Madhumathi"

"Hai re NK. Sorry babua. I was soo angry on these people that I failed to notice you"said Buaji.

"It's ok Buaji"said Arnav. Arshi took blessings from Buaji.

Garima brought coffee and gave to Buaji. Lavanya too came there wearing a chudidhar.

Buaji took a sip of coffee and spitted out.

"Hai re NK. You still din't learn how to make coffee. Don't know how my brother is tolerating you"said Buaji. Garima lowered his head feeling insulted.

"Buaji. You go and get freshup. I will bring coffee" said Khushi and got up.

"Ha titaliya. You bring me coffee. It is many days I drank your handmade coffee. Really your hand has a magic"said Buaji and went inside.

Khushi looked at Arnav shyly, lowered her gaze and ran away from there. Arnav chuckled seeing her reaction. This din't go unnoticed by Garima and Lavanya.
