"Baby, my baby...mine and Arnav's baby! Oh I need to tell him. He was waiting for this news for so long. He will be so happy. I should tell him"

Getting up from the recliner, she rushed towards her cell-phone. Just when she was about to call him, a thought crossed her mind.

"It's such a special news. I can't tell him just like that. He should know it in a special way.!!"

A beautiful smile adorned her lips as she got the perfect idea to give this news to her husband.

"What more than 1st wedding anniversary could be better to give him this news? Surely this is the best gift I can give him." Khushi said smiling widely.

They were going to have their first wedding anniversary the next day. Khushi just couldn't believe that a whole year has passed. The time she spent with her husband in this year was sure the best and worth relishing. Looking back, she could only fine lots and lots of love, which Arnav showered upon her. Oh how damn possessive he was about her! Not capable of bearing, even the shadow of another man over her.

A small smile grazed her lips remembering his anger, jealousy and frustration on the night of party where she met with Aditya.

She knew that Arnav love her the most in the whole world, she was damn lucky.

One year, one whole year has passed. She could count it on her tips. One year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8765 hours and 525919 minutes of pure Bliss, happiness, contentment and loads of love which she cherished with her husband and now they were going to celebrate their one year of togetherness and her pregnancy news was a cherry on top.

A wedding anniversary is a celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity between two soul-mates. Khushi was damn excited, looking forward for the other day.

***************

Pacing the length of corridor, she was impatiently waiting for Arnav to arrive back home.

"How I am going to tell him this??" Khushi bit her nails.

"Obviously I can't tell him just like that...there should be a special way...I can't just tell him it on his face.."

Her monologue was efflueting when the door bell rang. With fast beating heart, she leaped towards the door.

"Hell--" Opening the door, she chirped but stop in mid seeing Aman, Arnav's manager standing there.

"Khushi bhabhi, this is for you. Sir has send this along with the message to hurry up because he is waiting for you at the farm house." Aman informed in one go forwarding the parcel towards Khushi.

"Oh okay, thank you." She took it from his hands and marched towards the stairs hurriedly. Excitement seeping through every fibre of her body.

Coming inside the room, she closed the door behind and walked towards the bed. Opening the parcel, she found three different boxes in it with a note on top. She picked it up, going through the content.

" You have got the gift, isn't it? Get ready love. Looking forward to see you in it. Can't wait to hold you in my arms and kiss you.

Love,

ASR!"

A beautiful red hue formed on khushi's cheeks. She hurriedly picked up the first box to reveal a beautiful deep red evening gown. The material was soft as silk, slipping down from her hands. One look at it and khushi could tell that it was designed by her husband only. The dress was screaming of elegance and class.

The next two boxes had matching jewelry and espadrilles. Each and every thing was extremely beautiful. Not wanting to waste another second, khushi picked up the things and dashed inside the washroom to get ready.

***************

The car came to a screeching halt infront of the farm-house. The chauffeur opened the door and khushi stepped out. She looked ahead towards the building, in hope to see her husband only to get disappointed.

"Ma'am, Sir is waiting inside." Mohan informed.

Nodding her head Khushi started walking towards the entrance. Her mind jungled with different thoughts.

"I won't tell him straight away, I will give him some hints. Let see if he is is sharp enough to catch them or not." Muttering slowly, she reached near the door but before she could push it to open, the door opened to reveal the most handsome face, Khushi had ever laid her eyes on.

Arnav felt his breathing hitched in his throat as he laid his eyes on Khushi. She was looking exceptionally beautiful, just out of the world. The deep red gown was complimenting with her milky white skin so nicely. He kept on gawking at her face, not getting enough of her.

Khushi gulped and looked here and there trying to distrach him who was looking at her with hungry eyes.

Time to begin the plan.

"Hello BABY." Khushi chirped, emphasizing on the last word. Arnav came back to his senses.

He raised his brows amusingly.

"Hi!?"

Khushi stepped inside and hugged him.

"How are you doing baby??"

Arnav narrowed his eyes, baffled with the sudden use of endearments.

" I am good! What about you? By the way, you are looking extremely gorgeous love. Can't keep my hands off." Arnav said flicking her nose.

"Awww." Khushi cooed. " You are not looking bad yourself baby."

Again?? What's wrong with her??

"Khushi, are you fine? Is there something wrong?" Arnav asked, touching he forehead.

Uh, he is getting confused. I guess I went a little too over board.

"Yeah I am fine. So what about this?" Khushi asked moving her handsleft and right, trying to distract him.

"This!!!" Arnav smiled. "Is for us."

"So you remembered?"

"Obviously,is that even a question? How can I forget the most beautiful day of my life? The day when I made you mine forever." Arnav said playing with her locks as he kissed her lips.

Khushi blushed beetroot red.

Holding her hand, he led her inside. Coming towards the main hall, khushi started gasping seeing the scenes infront of her.

The whole path was decorated with roses and candles. Not a single inch was left uncovered.

Thick petals of roses were scattered on the way ahead with candles on the sides.

Holding her breath, Khushi looked at Arnav with tears and loved filled eyes.

"No sweetheart, no tears!" He shook his head.

Holding her hand, Arnav started walking on the path with Khushi who was feeling all of this as heaven. The soft petals under her feet were tingling her senses with different sensations.

"Come, let's have dinner. You must be hungry. It's already 11." Arnav spoke.

Again, khushi gasped loudly seeing the arrangements infront of her.

A small round table for two was set with roses around. Long candle stands were placed on it along with different covered dishes. Small candles and roses were scattered around the table.

Pulling back the chair, like a perfect gentleman which he surely was, Arnav made Khushi sit on it. He than, settling himself infront, started uncovering the dishes. A bright smile adorned khushi's lips as she saw all her favorite foods placed there.

Placing her hand over his, she squeezed it warmly with love.

"Thank you so much Arnav for this."

"You are always welcome my lady." He had bowed his head a little.

**************

Dinner was a jovial affair with Khushi eating and talking a lot like a kid and Arnav gazing at her with all the love of the world. Uptill now, khushi hadn't got a chance to reveal the news to him. All the surprises, which he was throwing at her were too overwhelming. She was beyond happy.

Few moments later, Arnav got up from his chair and came towards her side.

"May I have the honor to dance with my beautiful lady??"

Khushi nodded in response causing a full fledge smile to appear on his lips. Hooking her right arms around his left bicep, he led her towards a huge gazebo.

Standing in the middle of it, looking in her eyes, he held her right hand softly before placing it on his shoulder. Holding her other hand in his, he started moving on the beats of song which suddenly started playing out of nowhere.

A huge, wide smile came on her lips as she recognized the song.

You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much...

You're the fear, I don't care
Coz I have never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, la la love me like you do..
Touch me like you do, ta ta touch me like you do..
What are you waiting for??

Arnav took a step back and twirled her slowly, making her gown swayed as she went away and than come back to his arms. Her heart beat had fastened to a higher notch. She could fear her dhak-dhak in her ears.

Fading in, facing out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I have to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, fire

Yeah, I'll let you set the pace..
Cuz I'm not thinking straight..
My heart spinning around I can't see clear no more.
What're you waiting for??
Love me like you do, la la love me like you do..
Touch me like you do, ta ta touch me like you do..

Khushi smiled as he pulled her into him again. Her back touched his front as he wrapped his arms around her waist, moving slowly with the song.

Arnav kept on twirling and swaying her around as the soft music mellowed in the air. They both dance for a while more until the song slowly came to an end.

Overwhelmed with all the building sensations inside her, Khushi kept her head on his chest. Arnav, too reciprocated the hug with all the love he had.

"Khushi..."

"I love you...I love you Soo much Arnav.."

Arnav smiled as he slowly pulled back from hug and pecked her forehead softly. He then put his hand inside the pocket and pulled out a red shimmering case. Forwarding it towards her, he said..

"For you...."

Taking it from his hand, Khushi opened the case. Her eyes went wide and mouth hung low as she took in the beauty of piece placed inside.

It was a simple yet extremely elegant round necklace with small diamonties all around it. Khushi smiled brightly taking in the beauty.

"Arnav, it's so beautiful!"

Picking up the necklace from the case, Arnav turned her around and placed it on her neck.

"Yes, now it's beautiful." He said burying his face in the crook of her neck and placing soft kisses all over there.

*************

"Happy Wedding Anniversary wifey!"

Khushi gasped loudly as she heard his whisper so close to her ear. Her eyes darted towards the clock which was showing 12.

"Happy Anniversary hubby." She kissed his forehead.

"I can't believe it's been a year khushi. Seriously I can't, but one thing is for sure, the moment I saw you for the first time, I knew that we'd fall desperately in love, get married and have kids." Arnav said looking intently in her eyes.

"Me too." Khushi whispered back.

Bending down, Arnav took her lips in a soft kiss. The kiss started of slow but turned passionate within seconds. Wrapping his arms around her waist, Arnav pulled her into his chest. Khushi too wounded her arms around his neck, equally reciprocating the kiss. Arnav kissed, bit, nibbled her lips roughly trying to get most of her. Thursting his tongue in her mouth, he savoured and tasted every inch, every corner. They both pulled back once they were out of breath.

"Come, let's cut the cake."

Holding her hand, he led her towards the corner of the room. And this time, Khushi gasped even more loudly than before seeing the huge palace cake infront of her eyes.

"Ar..Arnav...this.." She felt her throat going dry.

"Anything for my love." Arnav declared.

"You...you are crazy.." She squealed with pure happiness.

"Yeah I am, for you." Her husband was hell bent on making her speechless.

Holding the knife, together they cut the cake and fed to each other.

"This was beautiful Arnav, I seriously didn't imagine all of this." Khushi said shaking her head.

Arnav just flashed his million dollar smirk in response.

"Arnav I... whatever you have done for me...today...in the last one year of marriage, I can't thank you enough for that. I am blessed to have you in my life. I don't know what I would have done if you were not there in my life. I love you....I love you so much." Khushi was overwhelmed.

"You don't need to thanks me love. I have done this for my selfish reasons. I love you too."

"I need to tell you something Arnav." Khushi said.

Arnav nodded his head encouraging her.

"Arnav I..uh...we.." She fumbled.

Shaking his head, Arnav held her face in his hands and kissed her lips softly.

"Better?" He asked pulling back few moments later.

Nodding her head, Khushi held his hand and placed it on her stomach. For few moments, Arnav kept looking at her confusingly but than the thruth started sinking in.

"Khushi...you..."

Khushi nodded with tears filled eyes.

"I am expecting, you are going to become papa." She smiled through tears.

Arnav, overwhelmed with the most beautiful news, pulled her in a bone crushing hug.

"Khushi..thank you...thank you so much. You have made me the happiest man on Earth. I can't believe this. I am going to be a father. A little baby...our baby.."

Khushi wrapped her arms around her torso.

"Yeah Arnav our baby.." She confirmed.

"I love you khushi, I love you so much and I love our baby also, the most in the world."

Khushi smiled, knowing his each and every word was indeed true. He was the best husband of the world and she knew that he will be the best father as well.
