Shantivan

All were busy with the preparations including the Prakash bro's. When suddenly Khushi remembered something and gathered everyone.

Nani : what happened Khushi betiya?

Khushi : Nani actually I forgot to tell u all something...the thing is today one very good friend of mine is coming here from Mumbai. He's name is Kunal Mehra and he too is a lawyer. Infact he was the one who was my mentor , my support in Mumbai. So since today is Di's birthday celebration in evening I invited him too. Hope it's ok...

Nani : Aree of course it's ok Khushi bitiya ...he is your friend and this is your house betiya and your guest is our guest...she said smiling at her and everyone agreed well accept one "Arnav"!

Arnav's face had turned dark as soon as Khushi took kunal's name. He was just controlling his temper in front of family. Even after their yesterday's talk he was unable to ward off his insecurities when kunal's topic arise! And what Mami said next only fueled his temper.

Mami : hello hi bye bye! Khusii bhy (why) don't you cook his phavorite food today?

Khushi : yes that would be great Mami...as it is he would reach around afternoon for lunch so I can prepare. Evening time the caterers would be there.

Everyone dispersed to do remaining work as they had very less time. But arnav who was drilling holes into khushi with his glares dragged her behind the pillar and roughly pinned her there!

Arnav:(gritting his teeth) Kunal Kunal Kunal! Jab dekho sirf Kunal! Uske alawa aur koi dikhta bhi hai tumhe?! ( You just keep chanting his name all day! Do you see anyone else besides him?!) ( Gripping her arms tightly) If you are gonna make his favorite food then who will prepare mine favorite ?! Hp?!

Khushi wanted to laugh out loud looking at his face but controlled herself. She was enjoying this ! It was a her mini revenge for what he made her go through when that bimbo was there in their life.

Arnav: (seeing her not responding, further increased his temper) Am talking to you dammit! Khushi you better listen to me carefully! You are gonna prepare food only for me! Only and only for me! Whatever is his favorite you just tell the chef to prepare! Dare you do something for him and I'll eat you alive at night ! Got that?!

Khushi gulped at that threat and nodded her head like an innocent kid.But a highly jealous arnav was behaving restless just with the thought of what would happen when that Kunal will come.

Arnav : (demanding) kiss me!

Khushi: ( opening her mouth wide open) wh..what?! Arnav here?! What if anyone comes?! What will they think?!

Arnav : (pouncing on her gritting his teeth) And you think I bloody care?! We are husband wife for God's sake! And even if they see us then they will only think how much we love each other! Now what are you waiting for?! Common kiss me!

Khushi pouted at her stubborn husband and came near him and caught his soft lips in her mouth sucking them softly. But it was not enough for arnav. He pushed her on the pillar and sucked her upper lips hard! He suddenly grabbed her boobs and squeezed them hard! Khushi in her own pleasurable world forgot that she had started lactating this days. (Guys she's not pregnant, woman's sometimes start to lactate due to hormonal changes)

After kissing for 15 mins they both broke apart with their red face.l breathing heavily through their mouth. But when arnav noticed some wet spot on her breast tips, he found it weird.

Arnav : ( touching the spot) khushu what is this wet spot? (Panicked) Jaan did I hurt you? Is it bleeding there?

Just then Khushi remembered what happened in morning and she turned red totally embarrassed.

Khushi : oh no! Now I have to change my clothes!

Arnav : But what's that?! First tell me !

Khushi : (embarrassed) umm bachcha ..woh umm it's my..my milk..I I mean i started lactating from today. So when you squeezed my umm it came out.

Arnav gaped at her with mouth wide open....: What the! Are you pregnant?!

Khushi : (immediately) No no m not....it happens with some woman due to hormonal changes.

Arnav stared at her peaks with hungry eyes. He licked his lips, he wanted to suck her milk. The thought itself was arousing him. Khushi saw his pupil dilating and the way he was staring at her breast and licking his lips. She turned red with shyness.

Arnav : umm khushuu can I ...can I umm taste it?

Khushi widened her eyes and at once said NO!

Arnav pouted at her sadly and said: But y?! I am your bachcha na your only bachcha and it's only my right to drink your milk besides our children...he said huskily squeezing her breast.

Khushi blushed at his naughty talks and said : okay but..but umm not now plz..at night!

Arnav : (huskily) but your bachcha is hungry now! He wants his mumma's dudu (milk).

Khushi stared at him with her typical 3 Os. She slapped his chest blushing to roots and replied : shut up Arnie! There's lot of work and you r wasting our time here! Now move let me go and change quickly after that we will go to mall to get gifts to b given to guest...saying so she pushed him but arnav caught her hand.

Arnav : (smirking) you will feed me tonight right ?

Khushi : (blushing) only if bachcha will be a good boy and help me.

Saying so she ran away to their room leaving smirking ASR behind.

It was almost afternoon and everyone were damn busy with their respective work. Arshi had returned after their shopping with an irritated Arnav who had turned red because of scorching heat. Well Khushi had made him run in different malls for shopping and poor fellow was listening to her like a good boy.

Arnav: (glaring at Khushi) you had told me that you had work just in Xyz mall ryt?! Then what was the need to drag me in more 6 malls?

Khushi: (pouting) But what I was supposed to do? I didn't like anything in previous mall. Last week when I had gone there were many nice antique pieces and today when we went there was nothing!mera bachcha tired hua?

Arnav : (pouting) hmm

Khushi : (kissing his cheek)aww my Shona... ok now you go and rest no need to do anything else...ok?

Arnav : (haughtily) I was anyway not going to do anything anymore!

Khushi glared at him and replied : ya ok you rest...anyways almost everything is done and now even Kunal will come. I'll wake you up later.

That was the enough to shoo away his tiredness. He glared at Khushi saying : fine! I am not going anywhere ! I will seat here only! After all I should be there with MY WIFE to welcome our "special" guest!.....saying so he marched towards living room huffing in anger. Khushi followed him pursing her lips.

Payash had also returned finalising the caterers. Suddenly the door bell rang and HP opened the door. And there entered the Mehras!

All the raizadas came near the door to welcome them. Khushi the most excited one moved forward but her hand was caught in a firm grip. She looked at her side to see her husband with a possessive glint in his eyes caught her waist by side and walked along with her to welcome them. Khushi smiled again thinking " hey devimaiya Kya karu mein iss laadgoverner ka?!"

(Priyadarshini = PD)

PD caught Khushi in a bear hug and kissed her forehead.

PD : my child ! How are you beta?

Khushi : (smiling widely) I am good aunty...how are you?! I missed you guys so much?! Especially your hand made food!

Kunal : oii bhukkad ! (Foody) can't you see anything else besides food?!

Khushi frowned at him but then he pulled her in a bear hug and khushi too hugged him back. But looking at that site arnav felt as if someone had poured acid on his heart! He couldn't bear to see his wife in someone else's arm. He fisted his hand tightly piercing his nails and clutching his jaw hard. Khushi suddenly realized that and turned to look at Arnav. But when she saw his eyes she saw such a raw pain and fear that she felt as if someone gripped her heart! She decided enough was enough! She couldn't hurt him more. So she said just "one " word which brought such a huge glowing smile on her bachcha's face that it would put sun to shame.

Khushi : "Bhaiya" ! I missed you so much!

Kirti: (pouting) Khushi di! Didn't you miss me?

Khushi : aww baby of course I missed you ..come here. They hugged each other tightly. Khushi then turned towards arnav and pulled his towards her and said ..: and this is MY Arnav! My husband.

Arnav smiled at them widely and bend to touch PD's feet. PD blessed him smiling widely and caressed his face. Kunal hugged him and Arnav too reciprocated the hug hesitatingly now that he knew that he is "Bhaiya" to his wife😂. He smiled at kirti and everyone entered inside. Khushi then introduced them to everyone.

Arnav was very angry with khsuhi! How dare she play with my insecurity and try to make me jealous?! Couldn't she tell me that he is like a brother to her. He was searching for an opportunity to corner her and vent out his frustration!

Nani : Khushi bitiya had u called Manorama to check what they r up to?

Khushi : oh nahi Nani! Wait let me call now...I think I kept my cellphone in room I'll just go get it till then you all proceed towards dining room, jiji please look after the lunch I'll join you guys after the call.

Payal : ok Khushi

All moved towards the dining room and Khushi went upstairs, Arnav grabbing the opportunity went after Khushi in sometime! He entered their room taking fast strides and banged the room door shut! Khushi flinched with the voice and turned to see her angry husband glaring at her. He marched towards her and grabbing her hairs in tight fist caught her lips in a brutal kiss. Khushi was stunned and couldn't understand what was going on. Arnav broke the kiss after 10 mins, both  panting hard and Khushi could feel her lips swollen.

Arnav : ( cold voice) why?! Why you did that with me?! ( Roaring) just y dammit?!! Answer me Khushi! Why did you play with my fear?! When you very well knew how much possessive I am for you, when you knew how vulnerable I become when anything involves you, when you knew how insecure I feel, when you know how I am dying everyday with the bloody fear of loosing u ! STILL! Still why the hell didn't you tell me that Kunal is like your brother?! (Yelling with tears in his eyes) why did you torture me so much khushi?! Why did you let me die since this 2 days with the fear to loose you?! Why dammit?!

Khushi: ( smiling sadly) 2 days ! JUST 2 days! How did you feel Arnav?! How did you feel when you saw your own wife giving importance to some other guys? How did you feel when your wife cared for some other guy in front of you even though that guy was not here in front of you?! How did you feel when you had this constant fear that you might loose me someday to someone else?! How did you feel with the thought of that some other guy might take your place , your share of love in my life?! You are so frustrated just in 2 days! You died every moment just for this 2 days! But have you ever thought how I must have felt?! For a bloody whole month?! You have felt this just for two days Arnav but I have felt this feeling of dying every moment for one whole month ! And you know what's the worst thing?! At least Kunal was not in front of you and at least you were not as unfortunate as me to see your own soulmate giving your place , your importance , your time and care to some other woman instead of his own wife! Just imagine Arnav if Kunal was in sheetal's place and I was in your place what you would have done?! And you know what even though I was trying to show you the mirror by trying to make you jealous STILL! Still I was always by your side arnav! Always there to assure you, to love you, to shoo away your insecurities and your fear, I didn't leave you alone to deal with your insecurities ! But what you did arnav?! Where were you when I was crying day and night in some corner alone hurting from your ignorance! Where were you when I needed the same assurance from you that you are only mine! That you love only me no matter what! Where were you arnav?! You left me alone , all alone to die every moment! Did I do that to you?! I gave myself completely heart body and soul , I laid myself bare for you arnav just to assure you that  I am yours! That only you are the owner of my heart! And what you did?! You couldn't even spare few minutes to look at me! Why Arnav?! How could you not feel my  pain the way i felt yours?  how could you not feel my fear the way I felt yours? How could you not feel my ache the way I felt yours?! Why?! Weren't you supposed to be my soulmate?!......

Khushi finished saying everything crying bitterly and without looking at Arnav went to get her cellphone kept on bed. When she turned around she found arnav standing in same position facing his back towards her with his head lowered and shoulders hunched in defeat.

Khushi slowly went towards him composing herself and when she looked at his face she felt her breath stuck in her throat. His handsome face was tormented! Tormented with such a raw pain that she felt as if someone was clenching her heart! She slowly raised his face holding her chin and looked into his eyes! Khushi gasped !
