Hey peeps,
as you all may know IPKKND is back on Star Plus (India) from 7th Jan. It'll be telecasted aired from 4 to 5 pm and will be a rollercoaster ride with Barun Sobti getting back into the character of our beloved Arnav Singh Raizada and reliving his moments with Khushi Kumari Gupta.

And that got me so excited, I drafted a One Shot after long.

So hope you all will enjoy this partially funny shot.

ArShi_Angel for you to get jealous, you'll see why 😋

MitalChauhan8 dedicating it to you because else you'll say Saru ko mention kiya tujhe nahi 😂😂😂

"What do you think? What looks better, this blue one or that green suit?"

She circled once in front of him as he nodded disinterested.

Arnav - Khushi, take whichever you want. Take both and however more.

Khushi - How can I? The clothes are so costly.

Arnav - Firstly, stop worrying about prices, you're my wife! And secondly, it's AR boutique! Don't worry about prices at all! Just take whatever you like.

She twitched her nose as her husband turned away from her with his head buried into his phone.

Khushi - Why can't he ever just behave once like a nice hubby and tell me what looks better!? No, it's AR boutique, don't worry about the prices!

She imitated him as she changed back into her clothes and wondered if to take both or decide for one. Holding both the suits, she hurried out of the trial cubicle to stride towards her husband when she stopped midway finding him standing there with a girl who appeared to be a model judging from her outfit and appearance.

She grit her teeth as they both smiled at each other, shared a hug and stroke each other's arms. It took Khushi a lot of self control to not jump at that girl and pull her hair out.

Khushi - Arnavji

With few big steps she reached beside and grabbed his arm marking him as his. She had almost stepped between them when they had come close for a formal hug before bidding bye.

She did not miss his vanished smile. Just a second ago he seemed to be the luckiest guy on the earth. But just as he had a look at Khushi, he appeared horrified which made Khushi more suspicious than she already was.

* * *

"Tell me, who was she? Why were you smiling and talking to her with so much interest? And when I came, why were you horrified?"

Arnav - I was not horrified! Stop making up things. You got it wrong.

Khushi - No, no, no. I know you both were flirting with each other. That's why you were scared when I appeared suddenly. How dare you Arnavji?

Arnav - Me - and scared of you? Dream on!

Khushi - Don't you try to change the topic. Tell me, how dare you flirt with her? And who was she? Answer me!

Arnav - That was Pari, a model. AR launched her. We were just talking about things.

Khushi - What things?

Arnav - Just' things in general.

Khushi - Tell me one thing you both talked about.

His raised brows and his hesitance gave her the answer she feared. They had been flirting! He could have easily said we were talking about work and life but he has to think first, so definitely something is wrong!

Arnav - I-

Khushi - Don't! I don't need any of your excuses. How could you Arnavji? I thought you love me! But you-

Arnav - Khushi, of course I love you!

Khushi - No. You both were flirting. I can't believe that you' you can flirt so easily-

Arnav - Khushi, don't start with this drama. I was not flirting. We were talking about our past!

She narrowed her eyes at that and stared him who looked away muttering something under his breath.

Khushi - Past? Means, that Pari is another of your girlfriend?

Arnav - No!

Khushi - Then?

Arnav - Khushi, leave it. You don't wanna know it. It doesn't even matter now. It's past, let it be. I'll change-

He turned towards the cupboard trying to avoid telling her the truth but Khushi was adamant! She immediately stepped between.

Khushi - No. I want to know! You have to tell me. Aapko hamari kasam.

He rolled his eyes at her Kasam! He doesn't believe in all this but knows she won't let loose until he says something.

Arnav - Um' she was not my girlfriend but...

Khushi - But?

Arnav - Khushi, you don't wanna know it. I know you. You'll be hurt and you'll judge me.

Khushi - No. I won't be hurt and I won't judge you. I know about your other Ex Girlfriends too, still I love you na. Tell me.

Arnav - Ok fine. Me and Pari were in a casual relationship. No commitment, No strings attached.

He knew he shouldn't have dropped the bomb. He knew he should have kept this one relationship to himself. He knew he's going to regret it.

He took a deep breath and held her arm. She flinched and stepped back.

Khushi - Another girl!? Another relationship!? Was there any period of your life where you were not in a relationship and not sleeping around with some girl casually either?

Arnav - You wanted to know it! I told you leave it.

Khushi - How could you do such things? How could you be so shameless?

Arnav - Khushi, you know it never meant anything. I didn't believe in love and-

Khushi - I know. I'm tired of hearing your meant nothing. So many girls and nobody meant anything! What do you think what does that make you? What if I would have been such a girl?

Arnav - It would have been your past and isn't relevant for our present and future.

Khushi - Of course you'll say that now. Arnavji, you- I don't like you anymore.

He grimaced funnily at his Sanka Devi and advanced to pat her cheek but she turned walking away.

He sighed at his crazy wife. He'll have to woo her back.

* * *

"So Khushiji, how was your day with Chote?"

Anjali welcomed the couple with a warm smile as soon they entered the living room.

Khushi - Very bad, Di. My day was so bad. There are people in this world, I tell ya.

Arnav rolled his eyes at her penetrating looks while his baffled sister inquired further.

Anjali - What do you mean? Did something happen?

Khushi - Ask your beloved Chote, who's done some great things in life. My ill fate I can't even tell you.

She smacked her head lightly and walked upstairs after grimacing at him.

Anjali stared after her in confusion and then turned to her brother.

Anjali - Chote, what did you do now?

Arnav - Nothing Di, she's just, having her "Sanak" attacks, as Buaji calls them.

Anjali hit him lightly but couldn't suppress the giggle. These two and their nok-jhoks were a treat to watch.

He smiled at her before following his wife up into the bedroom who had started keeping the newly acquired clothes in the cupboard.

Arnav - Khushi, why are you angry over something I have no control of anymore? It was in the past and I can't change it.

She closed the cupboard and turned to him with a smile. His heart calmed down as it seemed she finally understood. Alas!

She walked past him, giving him a royal cold shoulder. He groaned slowly in frustration. She could act quite stupid sometimes and this was one of those times.

He decided to leave her alone for now. Maybe she'll have calmed down later.

* * *

He returned from the home study and found her sitting in bed and watching something on IPad.

He smiled at her. She twitched her nose and looked away.

Letting out an exhausted sigh he changed into his night clothes and retired to bed. But her attention was fixed on the iPad kept in the middle.

Arnav - Khush

He kept the iPad out of her reach. She fumed gritting her teeth and attempted to snatch it back.

Khushi - Give me my IPad!

She moved near to pull it out of his hands, he snaked his arm around her waist instead and drew her closer. She gasped colliding with his chest.

Khushi - Leave me, I say! Leave me and give me my IPad or else...

Arnav - Else what?

He smirked at her, challenging her silently. She flared her nostrils and slapped him not too lightly. His eyes widened for a moment, flabbergasted at her daring act. She used the opportunity to withdraw and take back her gadget.

Khushi - Mr. Raizada, don't you dare challenge me again. This time I just slapped you lightly. But if needed I can break your bones too.

Arnav - Oh really?

Coming out of shock he narrowed his eyes at her.

She put the blanket over his face and rolled over to her side to continue watching Salman's movie on Netflix.

Passing her a frustrating glare, he closed his eyes to sleep.

* * *

The upcoming morning he woke up next to an empty bed. Khushi was already down for puja. So he followed his usual routine and later on returned from his morning jog to find his beautiful wife in their bedroom, sitting on the bed and scrolling through her phone.

Arnav - Good morning

She didn't even raise her lashes to look at him and just kept on being busy with her phone.

Arnav - Are you serious!? Stop making such a big issue out of nothing.

He was at the verge of exploding for real as she continued ignoring him.

Arnav - Khushi! Look at me when I talk to you, dammit!

She eyed him disinterestedly for a second.

Khushi - Listen to me carefully, you- you- loafer womanizer , stop bothering me or else I'll tell everyone about your affairs and go to Laxmi Nagar.

Fed up of her behaviour, he just let it go and moved to the bathroom.

He removed his shirt and ran a hand through his hair. As innocent and adorable his wife was, she could be equally a headache sometimes. And getting angry for the stupidest reason ever was her speciality. But he loved her. And he couldn't bear her ignorance.

The quick shower not only cooled off his anger but also gave him an idea. Getting out of the shower he wrapped a towel around his waist and called for her.

Arnav - Khushi, give me a towel.

She blew off her strand and shouted back.

Khushi - I'm not as stupid as you think I am. There are fresh towels in the cupboard. Take one out from there.

He glanced at the cupboard and cursed Khushi's idea of keeping a cupboard in the bathroom for necessities. But he wanted to woo her today by any means.

Arnav - There are no fresh towels. Pass me one, or I'm coming out naked. I didn't take any clothes.

Khushi - So why don't you ask your Meant Nothings?

Arnav - Damn it Khushi, just shut up and pass me a towel.

He exploded and banged the door in fury to which she flinched and got up gulping.

He got no response. He just heard some footsteps. He smiled a little thinking of her reaction. She must have cutely blown up on her hair strand in anger and then taken out a towel to give to him. If he was scared of her anger, she feared his anger even more.

And just as he expected, there was a knock at the door. He grinned before opening it and grabbing the arm instead of the towel.

Arnav - So, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada-

The grin on his faded off quite fast as he saw the person in front of him.

Arnav - HP!? The fuck? What are you doing here?

HP - W'woh, Khushi bhabhi, sent...me...

He fisted his hands and a scared HP moved sideways without looking down to escape the wrath of his employer

Khushi - Mr. Raizada, now you got your towel, happy now?

Now it was her time to grin wide. She thanked HP for his help before sending him off.

Arnav appeared out of the bathroom and straightaway walked to the door. She frowned observing him as he locked the door. She wondered what he was doing but it didn't take long for her questions to be answered.

He walked back to the bed and played a song on her Ipad. Khushi, flabbergasted raised her brows at him in surprise. The song she's been often listening to since the last few days and the song he's expressed he really disliked.

Jo tu russ jaani ae

Dil yeh tutt janiye

Her eyeballs almost sprang out as he lip synced the song pointing at her and as the line changed, matchingly pointed towards his heart with a sad face.

Tere sang sang raah

Saari kat jaani ae

Approaching her again, he pulled her towards himself with a smile and poked her nose.

Main taan tere naal rehna

Maan enna mera kehna

He hugged her from the side kissing her forehead and she couldn't help but finally beam.

Meri akhiyon se hona kadi door na

He nodded in denial looking down at her and rubbed his nose with hers.

Tere bin, tere bin

She roped her arms around his nape and giggled at her semi-naked hubby who had stopped lip syncing and was rather busy in admiring his beautiful wife.

Tere bin nai lagda dil mera dholna

Sab chadd jayein tu na mainu chhodna

The song continued playing in the background as they stared each other, lost in the rythmic sound of their heartbeats.

Arnav - Kya kya karna padta hai tumhe manane ke liye, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. (What all I have to do to woo you!)

Khushi - This is not enough, Arnav Singh Raizada!

He made a pitiable face knowing well she will ask for something he doesn't want her to.

Khushi - You have to dance with me on another romantic song.

Arnav - Do I ever deny you anything?

She nodded in denial smiling and hugged his bare chest. He stroke her hair slightly before starting to moving slowly on the rhythm of the music.

She rested her head on his warm chest.

Arnav - Why were you angry? Won't tell me?

Her smile vanished and she looked up at him. He blinked at her in assurance,

She pulled away from the embrace and turned her back at him.

Khushi - It hurts me. You have any idea what I go through when I even think about you...with some, some other girl? And when I think that, that everything you've done with me, you've done with many other girls too...I...I...

She confessed not meeting his eyes and he stared her affectionately before cupping her jaws and drawing her view up..

Arnav - Khushi, I've learnt a lot from you about love, romance and relationships. In fact, everything I've learnt about love, feelings and how to being romantic, you've taught me. But there is something I want you to teach you.

She stared him attentively, with a pout adoring her face. He chuckled at her, the innocence pouring out of her eyes.

Arnav - There are things I do with you which I've done with few others before you too.

Her eyes turned sad. She looked down. He lightly rubbed her arms.

Arnav - And that will always be the case. There will always be things most people do with their partners which they've done before with other people too. But that's not what matters. What matters in love and relationship are the things you've never done with anyone else.

She slightly twisted her lips and looked up at him curiously, looking childish as ever.

Arnav - Look at me. I used to be ASR for all the girls in my life. Only with you, I'm your Arnavji. Only for you I do some crazy things which I'd have never done for anyone.

He watched her as she thinned her lips.

Khushi - Like what, what haven't you done with, all those girls?

Arnav - Well, to begin with, I've never danced with anyone. I've made Jalebis or any other food item for anyone. I've never cared about their feelings. I've never run after them like a sick puppy. I've never cuddled with anyone, I do that only with you. I've never cared to woo them like this. I've never lip synced a song for anyone other than you, never pulled anyone in the bathroom asking for a towel. And I can count million other things.

She smiled a bit now, emotional realizing his love for her. It's not like she didn't know it before but she hadn't thought about it this way. She hadn't considered how much he's changed when it comes to love.

Arnav - Sex, sleeping together is a very small part of our lives as a couple. There are things way more intimate. I honestly don't care if there would have been guys in your life before me. They would have been your past. I care about being your present and future, because love is about accepting someone with the burdens they carry. And our past is and will always be a burden we'll carry around forever.

She was out of words. Yes, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada was speechless. The only thing she could do right now that best expressed her feelings was kiss him.

Arnav - I'm sorry for the person I was, not because I slept with other women. But because I did somewhere, intentionally or unintentionally play with the feelings of those girls.

Khushi - I'm sorry too.

She pouted fidgeting with her dupatta. He held her hand in query.

Arnav - For what?

Khushi - For playing with and breaking Bankelalji's heart.

He stared her for few seconds before breaking into laughter. She admired him with a beam on her face.

He recollected himself and then recognized her expression.

Arnav - So after a lesson on love, how about a lesson on lust?

She frowned in question. He stepped back and removed his towel. She gasped and covered her eyes with her palms.

Khushi - Arnavji!!! You're so shame-

She looked at him through the gap in her fingers and then removed her hands off her face seeing the briefs be was wearing.

Khushi - You're so bad!

She hit him before turning away faking anger.

Arnav - Why? You're my wife! Even if I was indeed naked, why are you acting as if you've never seen me like that?

Khushi - You know I'm shy!

He suppressed his chuckle at her innocent expression and hugged her from behind.

Arnav - And that's exactly what I don't want. I want you to be comfortable with me.

She twisted her mouth looking back at him which soon turned into a devilish grin.

Khushi - Really? Then show me how I can be more comfortable with you.

A naughty smirk appeared on his face. Knowing well what exactly she wanted, he lifted her up on his arms and kept her on the bed.

Just then there was a knock and Khushi immediately jumped to get up and attend it but was stopped by her hubby.

Arnav - Who is it?

HP - Woh, Arnav bhaiya, Nani is calling you and Khushi bhabhi down for breakfast.

Again Khushi was ready to get up and go down but was behind held back by him.

Arnav - Tell her we aren't hungry and won't come down until noon.

HP - Ji bhaiya.

Her eyes widened at his open shamelessness. She slapped on his chest.

Khushi - Arnavji! Why did you say so? You know, now they'll know that we are...doing it...

Arnav - So? We're husband wife. They know from day one of our marriage that we are doing it. How many times have Di and Nani pestered you over a child?

Khushi - Numerous!

He buried his face into her neck, nuzzling and smelling on her hair.

Arnav - Exactly. They want us to make love.

Khushi - What? But they-

And she couldn't argue further as he then joined their lips for a hot passionate yet love filled kiss.

What Khushi didn't know, Pari is still in his life and her Sautan😉😋

Btw, I, as in the author, am Pari!
