Next morning, Khushi woke up and found herself on the bed. She looked around and then went to the kitchen. She saw him preparing some tea and called him.

"Go and lie on the bed now." He ordered seeing her.

"Arnav..."

"If you don't go now, I know what to do."
Khushi understood that he is still angry on her and walked towards the room.

She lie down on the bed and wait for him. She heard the calling bell ringing. It is Madhumati who came for work.

He entered the room and checked her temperature.
"Your temperature is slightly high. We are going to the hospital after having breakfast."

"I'm ok, that's not...." He didn't let her complete the sentence and interrupted her.

"I'm not asking your opinion."

"Here have this black tea. Madhuji will prepare khichdi for you."

"I don't like...." She paused her sentence when she saw him frustrated face. She pouted and made a puppy face at him.

"Right now I'm immune to such expressions." Saying this he turned around to go and felt a tug on his hand.

"Please don't be like this. Talk to me or shout at me. It hurts seeing you being different to me." Arnav looked at her and pulled his hand away from her hold.

When he tried to move, she hugged him from behind.
"I'm sorry Arnav. I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry for jeopardizing my health. I will never do something like this. You are angry on me, aren't you? Then shout at me, scold me for being a stupid. I don't like us being like this." Arnav felt her tears wetting his tshirt.

He disentangled her hands and turned around. He raised her chin with his finger and wiped her tears.
"I'm soo sorry Arnav. I will do everything to get back to shape. I will eat whatever you give me."

"Promise?" He asked her.

"Yes, I will do anything." She said and looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"For now just lie down on the bed and take some rest. I will call you when the breakfast will be ready." Arnav put the blanket on her and placed a kiss on forehead making her smile.

Slowly she slipped into sleep. Khushi heard him calling her and opened her eyes.
"Get fresh, Madhumatiji prepared the breakfast." She sat on the bed and hugged him.

"Are we okay?"

"We are okay, but not you. I have to make you okay soon.

"I'm ready to do anything to be okay." Khushi came to the dining table and greeted Madhumatiji.

Arnav served her a bowl full of khichdi. She hated khichdi but had it for him.
They got ready and went to the hospital.

Khushi and Arnav were waiting for their call outside the doctor's cabin. Khushi noticed the girl sitting next to her eyeing both of them. She looked at the girl and raised both her eyebrows at her.

That girl awkwardly smiled and asked.
"Excuse me, is he your brother?" Arshi got startled by the question. Khushi gave her a mean smile and looked at Arnav.

"No, he is my great grandfather. Doesn't he look cute?" That girl turned her head away after hearing her answer

Arnav smiled hearing her reply.
"Why are you laughing laadgovernor?" She asked him with anger.

"You are damn adorable baby. Why didn't you show her the hickies I gave you on your neck, that would be better than that answer."

"I think I should have done that, she was eyeing you as if you were a meal. Damn witch."

"I only want to be your meal baby." He added with a wink.

They heard her name being called and went to see the doctor. The doctor prescribed some medicines. Arnav carefully noted what the doc said. It was raining when they exited the hospital.
They entered the car and Khushi lean on to the seat.

"Arnav when will you drop me at Payal's place?"

"At evening."

"Hmm, Payal will be expecting me for an outing."

"I'm not going to let you go now. You need to rest."

"Payal will feel bad, she will leave tomorrow and I didn't get time to be with her. May be I can hang out with her tomorrow." Khushi called Payal and let her know the situation.

Arnav took her home and asked her to take rest. She slept because of the medicines. Khushi heard her name being called and saw Payal sitting in front of her.
"Payal, how come you being here?" Khushi asked sitting on the bed.

"Well your angry young man invited me to be with my bestie."

"Arnav called you here?"

"Don't say that, you don ordered me to reach here. He is so bossy."

"What did he tell you?"

"He told me that you are having fever. You wanted to spend time with me and ordered me to reach here within two hours. Not only that he send a car to pick and drop me here. I could have drive here myself."

"May be he don't want you to drive here alone, that to in this climate. He is very protective. Don't take him wrong."
Khushi told her.

"You brainy, can't hear anything against your beloved boyfriend!!!" Payal teased her making her blush. Madhumatiji came there with refreshments for them.
Vegetable soup for Khushi and juice for Payal.

"Payal this is Madhumatiji, she helps here. And his is my best friend Payal." Khushi introduced her to Madhumatiji.

When Madhumati saw Payal entering the house, she wondered what's happening there. For a moment she thought that Payal is his new company. She couldn't believe that he brought another girl when Khushi is there. It's hard for her to accept the truth that a boy like Arnav can be faithful towards a girl like Khushi.
She mentally scolded her for thinking in a twisted way. Payal looked around the room as she drink the juice.

"This seems to be your room...also bit romantic."

"I don't think that your don like fairy lights and dreamcatcher. Damn girl, he done this for you." Khushi blushed and nodded her head.

"Is this the dreamcatcher you brought from Goa?" Payal asked touching the big dreamcatcher hanging next to the window.

"Yes, it is the same one."

"You did a great job with the wall too. Damn both of you compliment each other a lot. Some times I feel jealous of you Khushi. You indeed got a prince charming."

"Payal just be patience. You may end up with wrong guy if you get hurry. Chose a man who respect you. With whom you can be yourself and feel safe. Everything will fall at right place after that."

"You have come a long way Khushi. I used to give you clarification regarding love matters, now you turned into a love guru."

"You can say that I'm getting better in these topics now."

"After all you have a perfect boyfriend." Payal commented.

"It's not about being prefect Payalia. Everybody have flaws, we should keep it aside and look into the good things in them. There will be a day where you will be meet someone like that. I have trust God in that."

"If that happens you have to promise me a double date. Will your don come for a double date?"

"I doubt that, but I will try."

"Payalia do you want to see my lotus pond?" Khushi asked Payal after pausing for sometime.

"Sure, after all it's an unique graduation present." Arnav came there to check her fever.

"Seems like you guys are catching up with things?" He asked sitting next to her and placing the back of his palm on her forehead.

"You are getting better baby. Did Madhumatiji gave you the soup?"

"Yup, I had it. I want to show Payal the garden, is that okay for you?"

"No, you should take rest."

"I'm not going anywhere far, I will take care of myself. I really want to show her the garden." Arnav looked at the two friends and nodded his head.

"Call me if want something." He told her and went out of the room.

"What is with this permission and all? Do you have to take permission for everything from him??"

"It's because I messed up everything yesterday and he got angry on me." Khushi told her what happened.

"He loves you a lot Khushi. I never thought that ASR will love someone like this. When I first saw him he seems to be a f**k and forget type guy."

"He was not like that. He never did that." Khushi said feeling angry.

"Sorry, it was just the first impression. Now I know that he is a good guy." Payal apologized to her.

"But you revealed too much brainy. So you are the one who popped his cherry." Payal winked at her mentioning their virginity status.

Khushi took the pillow and hit Payal with it.
"Shut up Payal."

"This is damn shocking. Seriously yaar, he is the freaking ASR for whom the girls went crazy. Is he old school?? Saving it for the girl he loves?"

"Hmm, you can say that." Khushi replied with a blush.

Payal took some kohl from her eyes and applied it behind her ear.
"I'm protecting you from my own bad eyes." Khushi laughed seeing her act and stood up.

"Now come with me, I will show you the garden." Khushi took her to the garden.

"This is the lotus and water lily pond."

"These are beautiful Khushi. Can I touch the flowers?"

"Yes, you can." She replied.

"I thought ASR don't like anyone touching his things."

"He still don't like that, but this is mine so you can touch it."

"You also have some fishes in it." Payal said pointing her finger at a goldfish.

"He said that it's good to put some fishes in it, so that it will prevent algaes and mosquitoes. So he got some fishes in it.
Do you want to feed them?" Khushi asked her and Payal nodded her head.

Khushi took the fish food and gave it to Payal. Both the friends watched as the fishes feed on the food.
"It's so calm and quite here. I like this place, away from all those loudness of the city."

"I too love this place. It's like my second home." Khushi told her. She showed Payal the flowers and plants in the garden.

"Where is your cycle?" Payal asked her

"It's in the backyard, come with me."
Khushi showed her the cycle. She saw Payal looking at the swing. Khushi couldn't control her blush when she looked at the swing. Memories of last night, made her blush and shy.

"Will he mind if we sit there?" Payal asked her making her in a dilemma.
She don't want Payal to sit there, especially after yesterday. On other hand she don't want to deny her friend too. So she used the easy way to escape from it.

"I don't know, may be he won't like that."

"What's it I don't like?" Arnav asked walking to the backyard from the house.

"I was asking Khushi if you would mind us sitting on the swing." Payal replied.

Arnav saw the blush forming on her face and smirked.
"I don't mind you sitting there, but I doubt that you will be still willing to sit there if you know what me and your friend had done on that swing last night."
Say this he went inside leaving a extremely embarrassed and shy Khushi.

'Laadgovernor... How can he say that to Payal. How am I going to face her now?'
Payal looked at her with a naughty smile.

"I never knew that my friend was this kinky." Payal teased her.

"I'm going Payal. You and that laadgovernor only know how to tease me." Payal ran towards her blocking her path.

"Aww...my brainy... I'm your bestie and it's my responsibility to tease you. I won't step back from my responsibility."

"One day I will also tease you like this. Don't expect any mercy at that time from me."

"No, I won't." That's when Payal felt someone scratching on her feet.

"Ouch..." Payal look down and saw a cat scratching on her feet.

"See my babies are here to teach you a lesson for teasing their mommy." Khushi said kneeling down.

"You never told me about your babies."

"Ohhh...ok let me introduce my babies. This is Mickey Raizada, He is Donald Raizada...these two are Minnie and Daisy Raizada." Payal started laughing hearing the names.

"Did he really agreed to give his surname to these cats?"

"Yup, after all he is their father. He even built a small house for my babies." Khushi said pointing at the cat house.

"You should click a family photo Khushi, that too with your babies."

"Don't tease me or else I will tell my babies to scratch you again."

"No thanks, I know all of you are experts in scratching. I have seen some serious scratches on both of you."

"I'm going to have lunch...if you want you are welcome." She said flaring her nose at Payal and went inside.

"Khushi..."

"No, I'm angry on you for teasing me. You know he is going to blast at you if he comes to know that you troubled me." She sulk at payal.

Khushi found Arnav in kitchen taking out the plates. He saw her gloomy face and asked her what was the matter for her gloominess.
Khushi told him how Payal is teasing her. At that time Payal come to the kitchen and saw Khushi in his arms. Arnav held her close and looked at Payal.

"Ms Rastogi, I don't approve you teasing my baby, but this time you did a good job." Hearing this Khushi's eyes got popped out.

"You laadgovernor, you both stay here and discuss how to tease Khushi in 100 ways." She elbowed him on his chest and walked to the room.

"I will be back with Khushi, you can go and watch some TV then." Saying this he went to the room and locked it.

Arnav saw her lying on the bed and lie down beside her.
"Is my baby angry on me?" He asked placing his chin on her shoulder.

"Yes, I'm very angry. You both teases me a lot. Poor me."

"You are so teasable baby." Khushi took his hand and bite him.

"I'm not going to talk to you." She sulkef and turned around. He tried to wrap his arms around her but she pushed him away. He placed his head on her chin as she laid down on her side

"I'm sorry for doing that. Don't be angry with your laadgovernor baby. I think Payal is an exception to this teasing list." Khushi turned around and looked at him.

"I thought you don't like her teasing me." Khushi asked him.

"Well, I don't like anyone teasing you but your friend is an exception. She is good for you baby. Someone with whom I can trust you." His confess made her heart filled with joy.

"Sometimes I act so silly."

"Yeah you do, but I like that silly Khushi."

"Aww, my cheesy laadgovernor." He touched her forehead and placed a kiss.

"You are getting better baby."

"Can we lie down for sometime?" Khushi asked him hugging him closer. She felt his grip getting tighter and laid down peacefully.

"Baby, your friend will be thinking that we are at it again?" He asked her and Khushi realised it.

"Go and open the door laadgovernor." Khushi siad pushing him away and getting up from the bed.

For a moment they totally forgot about Payal.

"When I'm with him, I forget everything around me." Khushi muttered and arranged her dress.

They came out of the room and saw Payal sitting in front of the TV.
"Are you guys okay?" Payal asked seeing them.

"We are payaliya." Khushi said entwining her hand with his hand.

"Now come, let's have lunch." He invited Payal for lunch.

Payal saw the table filled with food. She know that he is from a wealthy family and it surprised her to see him living in such a small house. There weren't any luxurious items that show of his wealth. The small dining table which can hold four people is an example for it. When they were in the room, Payal check out the hall and kitchen which contains only a few furniture and essential items.

Arnav asked Payal to be comfortable and sat on the chair. Payal sat opposite to them.

"Payal, these are for you." Arnav said pointing at some dishes.

"What about you guys?" Payal asked them.

"Khushi is having a mild fever. So she have food for that and I'm giving here a company." Arnav said serving the food on his and her plates.

"Arnav, you can have that. It's okay." Khushi told him.

"No, I'm having this. I also brought that food for a person only." He replied her.
Khushi know that he is not going to change his decision and started to have the food.

The food was bland, but she had it for the sake of the promise she made to him.
She had the food without any fuss when he refilled her plate again. Her heart danced in joy everytime she saw him having the food same as her. She liked the fact that he decided to give her a company when he could have had what Payal have had. She stared at him and he saw this.

He raised his eyebrows gesturing her and she shook her head. Payal had her food feeling happy that her friend found a man who loves her truly.

Payal get up and went to wash her hand. "Arnav..." Khushi called him and he turned towards her.

He got welcomed with a quick peck on his forehead.
"What was that for?" He asked her.

"Can't I kiss my man?" She questioned him

"Yeah, you can. Just the say way I can kiss my girlfriend anytime I want." He placed a lingering kiss on her forehead and cheeks, making her blush. Arnav waited for her to finish.

"Once you are done with lunch, go and lie on the bed. Just lay down and catch up with your friend. Then we can leave at evening." He informed her and she nodded her head.

"What are you going to do then??"

"I will be in the next room, have some works to do. Don't strain or ran around the house." He warned.

"I will take care of myself, don't worry Arnav." Once she finished her lunch, she and Payal went to the room.

They caught up on what all happened in their life. Payal told her about the guy she met in Kolkata with whom she have a date when she will reach there. From what Payal told about him, Khushi find him to be a good man.

Meanwhile in other room, Arnav went through the information he collected about Sameera. He wanted her to pay for what she tried to do with his Khushi. His eyes glint wickedly as he found a plan to destroy her. Arnav placed the documents in the safe and locked the room. He went to their room and informed them that they have to get ready to leave.

Payal excused herself and he locked the room, so that both of them can change their dress. Arnav checked her temperature again.

"Still the same baby." He said and went to his cupboard. Khushi took her dress from the bag and got undressed. Arnav saw her hickey cladded body and moved next to her.

"Do you have any pain? I tried my best not to give you many of them."

"No, it's not paining. You were biting me as if I'm a porcelain doll. You seems to be uncontrollable yesterday but when you bite in passion you were in control."

"I have promised myself that I won't give you hickies like the way I gave you last time. It took almost two weeks for heal completely. I don't want that." He said kissing and licking the hickies in her neck and chest.

"You promised me something yesterday." She told him.

"And who ruining it by getting sick?" He questioned. Khushi pouted and pointed at herself.

Arnav couldn't resist himself from kissing her and lean forward. Khushi placed her hand over her mouth before he could kiss her.

"Laadgovernor, you will get sick if you kiss me." Saying this she pushed him way. Arnav kissed her forehead instead and pulled her closer.

"So what should we do to this pending shower session?" He teased her.

"Hmm... May be we can try it some other day." Khushi said looking down and blushing.

"Aww...my bold baby. For the stunt you pulled yesterday...I decided to cancel the shower session as a punishment."

"Haww... You are so mean laadgovernor. I was an innocent little girl and you corrupted me. Now you are not playing fair."

"Yeah, I have no doubt in that. Anyway no more shower sessions or massages."

"Okay laadgovernor, I agree to that. Hmm...will I get to see you everyday??"

"You want to see me everyday???"

"Don't you know the answer for your questions??? Yeah... I want to see you everyday...in fact all my life."

"I will make sure that you will see me everyday, but baby don't tell me that you regret seeing me everyday later."

"That's never going to happen." She said and he smirked knowing what's going to happen. She hugged him and stayed inside his arms for sometime.

She raised on her toe and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"Thanks for making me feel like the luckiest girl. For making me the happiest girl." Arnav hugged her and stroked her hair.

"Always."

He started the car with Khushi sitting next to him and Payal on the back seat.
Arnav dropped them on Payal's house.

"Baby, when will your class ends?"

"At 4 in the evening."

"Okay, I will come to pick you up." Promising this he drives away to find something to carry out his plan to trap Sameera.
