Part 5

After dinner, In Arshi room, Khushi is setting the bed after changing when someone knocked the door. She saw Anjali at the door with a tray in her hands.

"Di. come in."said Khushi. Anjali entered in.

"Do you need anything ??"asked Khushi.

"Where is Chote ??"asked Anjali. Khushi indicated towards the poolside.

Anjali nodding her head went towards poolside. There Arnav is talking with Aman on phone..

Anjali went and snatched the phone from him.

"what the...Di ??"said Arnav..

Anjali disconnected the call, "Chote. What is this ?? You will always stick to this phone.. you won't live in peace and won't let Aman live in peace.."

"Ok Di. Now why you came here ??"asked Arnav..

Anjali placed the tray on the table at poolside. She sat on the chair and indicated Arnav too to sit.

When he sat, she took the bowl in the tray and removed the lid..

"I made badam Kheer for you" said Anjali.

"But why??"asked Arnav confused..

"Just like that Chote.. Why??" asked Anjali. Arnav din't say anything.. He couldn't understand why she is doing this.. She never bothered about him when Dhruv was alive.. Even she din't bother about Shyam too..She neglected him completely always even no one in the house bothered about him.. He was just a trump card for them..

Anjali sat beside him and took a spoon full of Kheer.. He expected her to keep it in his mouth but she simply gave it to his hand.. Faking a smile, he ate it..

"How is it Chote ?" asked Anjali.

" Good Di" said Arnav smiling..

" What!! Just good.. You know Dhruv always used to praise my handmade kheer a lot. He will be cleaning the whole bowl..Many nights we both sit at the terrace and talk looking at the stars. I used to feed him with my own hands and he will be lying on my lap talking about movies.. I miss him soo much.. Why did god have to take my Dhruv away from me ?? Elders say god will take away good people early." Said Anjali sobbing and leaned to Arnav's arms who patted her back.. Again Dhruv, She always have time to spend with Dhruv but when it comes to him, she will have no time.. It was only because of this family's negligence, he got addicted to work..

Hearing Dhruv's name, Khushi went to her past incidents and became emotional.. She went into Dhruv's room to cry her heartout..

Later after sometime, when she came into their room, Arnav is at the poolside looking stars. Hearing her anklet sound, he looked at her, he understood she cried seeing her red puffy eyes.

Khushi silently went and slept on the bed while Arnav took his blanket and Pillow to sleep at the poolside. Both of them drifted into sleep with a lot of thoughts..

Next morning:

Khushi woke up from her sleep, she saw the time, it was already 7.30 am.

"Hey Devimayya. I slept upto this time. I missed even morning Harati " muttered Khushi to herself. She was in her thoughts yesterday night, she din't slept soon so she can't wake up early.

"What will I say to Naniji now ??"thought Khushi.

Then she looked beside her on the bed where the blanket and pillow are kept. She could hear water sound from the bathroom.

"Seems like this laadgovernor is bathing" thought Khushi and rested on the head rest.

After sometime, she opened her eyes hearing the opening of the door. She looked at Arnav who came into the room only on his pants , with his bare chest is exposed, wiping his hair with the towel. Khushi looked at his exposed form shamelessly. It is first time she is seeing a man in this avatar. Her heart skipped a bit seeing his manly chest, well chiseled body.

Arnav sensing someone's gaze on him looked at her who is looking at him. Khushi came out of the trance with his looks. Arnav moved to poolside not to make her awkward.

Khushi cursed herself for losing control. " Khushi. How can you even lose your control ?? You hate him. remember it " consoled Khushi herself.

She quickly took her clothes and entered into washroom to take bath.

When she came out after her bath, Arnav is ready in his three piece suit fixing his tie. He got a call and went towards poolside.

In this meanwhile Khushi too got ready quickly and both of them came downstairs at the same time.

Everyone are in the hall, Khushi went near Nani" Naniji. I am sorry. I overslept today. I will never repeat it again"

"it's Ok Khushi bitiya" said Nani.

"HHBB. Khushi. You don't worry. We know why newly married couple get late in waking up" said Mamiji suppressing smile.

Others too smiled shyly hearing this while Arnav, Khushi felt awkward. Khushi went into kitchen to avoid their glances.

In the kitchen, Payal is preparing a carrier.

"Good morning Payal" said Khushi.

"Good morning." Said Payal.

"For whom who are preparing this carrier ??'asked Khushi.

"For Arnavji. He had an important meeting, so he won't be for breakfast. So I am preparing a box for him" said Payal.

After completing it, Payal gave the box to Khushi.

"Khushi. Go and give this to Arnavji" said Payal.

"What ?? me!!"said Khushi.

Payal looking at her weirdly" ofcourse .. you. You are his wife. so go and give him"

Khushi keeping a sulky face went from there.
