"Are you sure Khushi you will be able to live without me?" Arnav looked at his stubborn wife.

"Damn sure!!" She replied with her head high.

"You won't miss me??"

"No I won't!! Why will I even miss you in the first place??" She countered back.

"I guess you have forgotten your own words Khushi. You used to say that you can't bear my absence even for a second." Arnav's voice was sad.

"I remember it completely Arnav but it's not like everything remains same for whole life. People change and so do their emotions." Khushi shrugged her shoulders.

"I can't believe this. How can you be so casual about this. Isn't it affecting you even a little?? Is it so easy for you to say good bye?"

"God!! Arnav. Why are you getting so senti? It's not like you are going forever. It's just a business tour. It's not like you are going for the first time." Khushi tried to explain.

"Yeah right!! For two days to Mumbai and three days to Nainital. This time it's for two whole weeks darling and that too, out of India, USA!! I don't want to leave you here in this condition. I will be tensed all along thinking about you and baby. I don't want to go." Arnav said adamantly.

Khushi's heart fluttered with happiness seeing his concern and love towards her and the baby. Smiling lovingly, she got on her toes and pecked his lips. Her 6 months pregnant belly resting between them.

"I will be absolutely fine and so do the baby. Don't worry Arnav." She tried to assure him.

"Won't you miss me? Will you be able to live without me?" Arnav asked the same question again, which he was asking since this tour was lined up.

"No I won't. And what's there to miss anyway? We will talk daily and will do the video call aswell. Simple!"

This nonchalance of her was pricking Arnav so much as well as astounding him. Few days back, her pregnancy harmones weren't allowing him to stay away from her. She wanted him beside herself all the time. She had become more and more desperate or he might say, horny for him. That was the first thought that came to Arnav's mind when he learned about this tour. He was fearing Khushi's reaction. He was expecting her to burst out and prohibit him from going but to his utter horrific surprise, the news didn't effect khushi even a but. Heck, she allowed him to go happily. And that was something, Arnav was unable to believe.

"Have your heart replaced with a stone khushi? I am unable to digest this fact that my absence won't effect you!" Arnav said accusingly.

Khushi laughed heartily throwing her head back.

"I am surprised to see this side of Arnav Singh Raizada. Tell me, what should I do? Should I speak dialogues like filmy heroines?" She asked, grinning.

"Only filmy heroines speak dialogues?" Arnav was offended.

"No, heroes also speak!"

Arnav looked away shaking his head muttering a small 'unbelievable'

Grinning at his sulking form, Khushi sat down on the bed and zipped up his suitcase. She was about to pick it up when Arnav stopped her and the case himself, placing it beside the wardrobe.

"Come on, let's go out for a coffee!"

"Coffee? Right now?? Why??" Khushi asked.

"I won't be here for the next two weeks khushi. Want to make some last minuted memories which will keep me sane there." He replied.

"Geez!! Cheesiness at it's peak!!" Khushi shook her head. "Listen Arnav, you should rest now. It's already 11' and your flight in at 4:00. You will have to leave for airport within an hour or two. Take some rest."

"I don't want to rest. I want to spend some time with you." Arnav said stubbornly.

"We can spend time here aswell Arnav and moreover, I don't feel like going out right now. I want to rest." Khushi said dismissively.

"Khushi you are pregnant na? Aren't you having any cravings? Don't you want to eat some chat or gol-gappe?" Arnav tried to persuade her.

"Smart move Mr. Raizada but right now I don't have any other craving beside taking rest." Khushi said with a tight smile.

Arnav kept looking at her with tiff. Here, he was dying with the though of living without Khushi for the next two damn freaking weeks and there, his wife was all set to sleep acting so normal as if it was a routine.

"Okay fine. We can't go outside but can't we sit in the terrace for some time?" Arnav asked giving up on his idea.

"Arnav if you want to go than you are most welcome but I seriously don't have any wish to platter my fresh sweet blood to the mosquitoes." Khushi replied as she laid down on the bed and covered herself with a quilt.

Arnav kept looking at her with narrowed eyes for few moments before he bent down and pulled the covers from her body. Glaring at him, Khushi pick the cover and covered herself again,this time till her head.

Flaring his nose, Arnav removed the quilt again.

Twisting her mouth, Khushi pulled it back.

Arnav removed it again.

Khushi pulled it back on her body.

This went on for few moments when finally Arnav gave up and thought to make her agree with something else.

"Fine Khushi!! You sleep here and I will sit outside and drink!!" He threatened.

This, seemed like passed a wave of current through khushi's body. She sprang up on the bed.

"You won't dare drink Arnav."

"Try me!!" Arnav said smugly as he turned around and marched out if the room with a lop-sided smirk plastered on his face. He knew what's exactly is going to happen next.

"Ugh!! This man. Damn you husband!!" Khushi yelled at his back as she got down from the bed, supporting her belly and followed him.

"Love you too wife!"

Khushi growled at his audacity to wink at her and saying those words.

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

"See, this is what I was trying to avoid." Khushi grumbled as she saw Arnav hitting a mosquito which was sitting on his arm.

"No problem." Arnav waved his hand.

"I don't understand this. What's the use of sitting here at this time like owls when all we, especially you should do is rest." Khushi asked.

"I don't look for profit and lose in everything. I am not materialistic like you."

"Haa, seriously!! I am materialistic??" Khushi pointed towards her chest.

"Yes you are!!" Arnav declared.

"Listen to me Arnav,if you keep on talking like this more...I will straight away go inside." Khushi threatened getting angry.

Looking at her face, Arnav moved towards her even more and held her wrist.

"Show me if you can!" He challenged.

"Oh really? Should i? Fine see than." Khushi said as she wriggled to get out of his hold.

Armac chuckled seeing her irritated and grumpy face.

"Okay fine. I know you can go. No need to show me." He gave up.

Khushi get her wrist out of his hold and looked away twisting her mouth.

"What are you looking at?" Arnav asked.

"Moon!!" Khushi replied.

"Than why are you looking at the sky baby? You should look beside yourself." Arnav said smugly.

"Oh God!! I have never seen such a self-centered and over confident man like you in the whole world. Never!!" Khushi said shaking her head.

Arnav grinned looking at her face. It was always so fun teasing her.

"Just kidding!! My moon is you Khushi and this baby is our star." Arnav said.

"Oh, I am flattered!!" Khushi said placing a hand on her heart.

"That was the plan!" He winked at her. Khushi looked away, blushing!!

Few moments passed in silence when Arnav again made a move. Placing a hand on her shoulder, and other on her stomach and rubbing it affectionately, he kissed her head.

"I will miss you both so much. Will you miss me Khushi?" He asked again, trying to get something out of his wife's mouth.

"No!!" Khushi clicked her tongue.

"Not even for a minute?"

"No!!"

"Not even for a moment?"

Khushi shook her head in no.

"Not even for a second??"

"No even for a nano-second bhuii!!"

"That's impossible!!" Arnav said, exasperated.

"'Impossible' isn't in my dictionary." Khushi replied.

"Than I have to get you another dictionary."

Khushi chuckled, shrugging her shoulders.

"Fine. Keep on denying. When I will be away than you will realize." Arnav said, offended.

"We will see." Khushi replied.

Arnav kept on looking at her face with narrowed eyes and thinned lips for few moments, before he cupped her face, turning it towards himself, and crashed his lips on hers. Holding her both hands, he wounded them around his neck and threaded his own, in her hairs. He kissed her desperately.

Khushi was too shocked to react at first and that somehow irked Arnav. He bit her lower lip hardly, causing her to gasp loudly. Taking it as his chance, he plunged his tongue into her mouth devouring her sweet taste, her intoxicating fragrance at fullest. He was kissing her restlessly. Pouring all his emotions, frustration and love in it.

"Kiss me back Khushi!" Arnav demanded as he pulled back for a second and than again took her lips into his.

Khushi started responding back with the same fiestiness. She interlaced her her fingers in his hairs pulling him closer. Both of them equally participating in the kiss now. The euphoria was instant which had taken both of them into another world of love and passion. The fire, the sparks were igniting their need and passion for each other even more.

Both of them had continued further if not for the baby who kicked suddenly. Arnav, whose hand was placed on khushi's stomach, pulled back with a startle.

"What was that??" He asked, surprised.

"The baby kicked." Khushi replied smiling goofily.

"Really?? Was it the first time??"

"First time for you experiencing it. But baby has kicked once before aswell." Khushi told.

"That...that was....so..." Arnav fumbled. His eyes had moistined. This was the first direct contact between him and the baby.

"Beautiful!" Khushi provided with a smile.

"More than beautiful. It was ethereal." Arnav said in a trance. He bent down and kissed her belly lovingly.

"Now I am going to miss you both even more. I love you both alott."

Khushi smiled at him. Leaning back, she placed her head on Arnav's shoulder and wound her arms around his waist. Arnav too wrapped her arm around her frame securing her belly comfortably and kissed her hairs.

Few moments passed like this. There was complete silence around them but it wasn't uncomfortable or awkward. It was peaceful, beautiful, and filled with love. Khushi felt her eyes dropping. Arnav was patting her softly. She would have slept really, if not for her husband's next move.

"I am in love with the shape of you..
We push and pull like a magnet do..
Although my heart is falling too..
I am in love with your body..
I am in love with the shape of you.."

She heard his humming, so close to her ear. Khushi flinched away from him.

"What the!!!" She looked at him with wide eyes.

"What happened??" Arnav asked wiggling his brows, fighting back a grin.

"What was that???" Khushi gulped.

"It was a song baby."

"What kind of cheap songs you have started listening Arnav??" Khushi asked him, perplexed.

"Cheap??" Arnav laughed. "This song is 2017's most listened song khushi!" He informed.

"So what?? There is a very large number of perverts in this world." Khushi rolled her eyes.

Arnav threw his head back, laughing out loudly. This was why, he knew he would miss Khushi alot. Irritating her and making her all nervous was undoubtedly, his most favorite hobby.
