Days past with everyone busy with their routine. Weekends were the only days when the family got time to spend with each other. This weekend the Raizadas decided to invite Mehras for dinner. Two persons were very excited for this namely Anjali and the other one being the great NK!

Anjali had formed a very pure friendship bond with Kunal and both used to meet after School along with Aarav who loved the company of his Kunal uncle. And NK , who had lost his heart to kirti on the very first day! Although they were very discreet but their love story had started with Nk sending request to kirti on Facebook and there starting their romantic chats with Nk's flirty comments which then lead to them exchanging phone no.

Arshi were busy with their works. Arnav busy with his fashion show which was soon approaching and Khushi busy with her cases. The only time they had were their passionate nights!

Sunday Evening

The Mehras had arrived at Shantivan and all were in living room gossiping. The ladies had made their own group and the Gents were in TV room watching match. Kunal was sitting with Aarav on his lap telling him what all was happening in the game.

The ladies were watching all this especially Priyadarshini, Nani , Anjali and khushi.

PD : ( longingly) After such a long time I am seeing my son happy.

Kirti : Haa mumma ..after bhabhi we had never seen Bhaiya happy to this extent.

Hearing the word "Bhabhi" Raizada ladies were shocked except khushi. Anjali didn't know why felt a little pinch in her heart but she ignored it.

Nani : ( perplexed) Bhabhi?

PD : ( sigh) Ab apse Kya chupana Maaji..( what to hide from you Maaji) My daughter in law Nisha died 9 years back. They both were in love since college days and had married immediately. Nisha was 8 months pregnant. ( Crying) Kunal had gone abroad for work and was returning back that day , Nisha wanted to surprise him so she had left for Airport to receive him..but..but while going to Airport our car crashed with a bid lorry and my Nisha (sobbing) My Nisha died on the spot and my grandchild too...Kunal was shattered after that! He couldn't bare the loss of his little family and went in depression. It took him 6 months to recover and after that my son had like closed himself into a shell.

All the ladies had tears in their eyes listening to Kunal's past. Anjali was looking at Kunal with different emotion which she herself didn't understand at that time. She felt kunal's pain as her own! Hadn't she lost her husband and unborn child just like Kunal did?! Her husband may be a cheat but she had been loyal to their relationship..wasn't she?! Her husband had died for her may b not for the world. So who could understand kunal's pain more then her?!

The match was over and all the Gents came back to living room and the ladies immediately wiped their tears and smiled. All left for dinner with Anjali giving a soft smile to Kunal confusing him but nevertheless he smiled back.

Everyone settled on their respective chairs and Arnav made a face seeing all oily and spicy dishes.

Arnav : ( low voice) what the!

Before he could throw a tantrum , his Italian salad along with karela sabji was before him. He looked up to see his wife keeping the plate in front of him and he gave her a satisfied cute smile.

Khushi : ( muttering) Khao ab ! Laadgoverner I know your tantrums very well!

Saying this she sat besides him and everyone started having their dinner.

After dinner the Mehras left thanking Raizadas. Everyone went back to their room to sleep grudgingly as tommorow it was Monday again and the start of their daily work routine! Arshi returned back to their room and  pounced on each other to make passionate love!

Monday Evening

Khushi was really frustrated today! Whole day she had been neck deep buried with client meetings and especially that rape case! On top of that she was had her periods today and it was really messing with her hormones making her cranky! And this bimbo PA of hers was eating her head!

Khushi : ( irritated, on call) Rita! I don't care! I want the appointment with judge at the earliest! I don't know what u do! Got that?!

Khushi cut the call frustrated and again buried her head in the file. Arnav was busy barking at Aman at the poolside. As soon as he cut the call he turned to see his wife frustrated. He saw the snacks plate that HP had  bought untouched and sighed. God! This girl will make me crazy! Arnav came back inside the room and went towards her.

Arnav : ( softly) khushu baby..relax , at least have your coffee, you didn't have anything since you came back.

Khushi : ( curtly) Arnie please not now..m really busy.

Arnav : At least have something ...u will feel tired.

Khushi : ( slightly annoyed) I'll have later..

Arnav : baby Kya hua? Is everything alright? Can I help you in... interrupted

Khushi : ( yelling) Arnav! Will you please leave me alone?! Can't you see I am busy?! Please for God's sake! Just Go from here!

The smile on Arnav's face faded like it was not present in the first place. His heart broke into pieces hearing his khushu shouting at him and asking him to get lost. He didn't know when his eyes filled with tears and as soon as he felt one traitor tear flowing down his cheek, he gasped and ran to poolside to hide his tears from his wife for the first time after a long time!

He didn't ran from there hiding his tears  because it hurt his ASR ego.. No! He was past all that ..he had crushed all his ego, arrogance in front of his wife long back! He was no less then a kid in front of her! He ran to hide his tears because he didn't want to upset her more or make her feel guilty  and make her run after him to console him leaving her work. He sat on the recliner at the poolside furiously wiping his tears.

Arnav : ( rubbing his cheeks and wiping his tears with his sleeves) what the! Dammit! What's wrong with you ASR! Stop crying like a kid dammit! What are you?! Five?!

If he felt that he had succeeded in hiding his tears from his wife then he was very wrong! Khushi had regretted whatever she had said the very moment she had seen the tears in her bachcha's chocolate brown orbs. She knew she was wrong , wrong to vent up her work frustration on him. He was just concerned for her well being and she had behaved like a first class bitch! Khushi thought cursing herself.

She went to poolside side slowly only to see her baby furiously wiping his tears with his sleeves and muttering to himself. Khushi felt her heart breaking at the site. She slowly went to him and hugged him from behind wrapping her hands around his waist and buried her face in his neck.

Khushi : ( placing soft kiss on his neck, guilty voice) bachcha shorry...aap gussa ho?

Arnav : ( hoarse voice) no baby...it's ok I understand, m not hurt.

Khushi : ( with tears in her eyes) accha? Then what are this big fat tears doing in my baby's eyes?! M very bad na...how dare I scold my Shona?! ( Kissing his cheek, wiping his tears with her hand)

Arnav : ( smiling softly) itne Dino tak mein sirf tumhare pyaar se waqif tha na, aj pehli baar danth mili. ( All this days I was only used to your love na and today for the first time I got scolding from u) so after being literally dipped in your love , this little scolding too managed to prick my heart...(smiling sadly) aur kuch nahi..

Khushi came in front of him and sat on his lap and started kissing all over his face frantically chanting sorry every time. Arnav smiled again with all the love he was getting from his wife.

Arnav : St..stop Jaan..aj ke liye itni kisses kafi hai! Now please have little snacks for me and then get back to whatever you were doing ok?

Khushi : ( keeping her head on his chest) hmm...did u forgive me?

Arnav : ( caressing her hairs) I was not angry in the first place kitten! I understand u Jaan! Don't worry ok?

Khushi : ( kissing his heart) I love u hubby ... sometimes u r so adorable

Arnav : ( pouting) only sometimes?! ..accha koi nai..

Khushi : ( kissing his pout) my Shona baby!

Saying so both went to room and Arnav sat with his laptop doing his work for tommorow's meeting and khushi sat eating her snacks.

Night , 2:45 am

Khushi got up from her sleep feeling extreme pain in her lower abdomen due to her periods.She kept tossing on the bed due to unbearable pain. Her continuous tossing broke Arnav's sleep who was sleeping snuggling his face in her bossom.

Arnav : ( sleepy voice) Jaan ..what happened? Not feeling sleepy?

Khushi : ( biting her lips trying to control her pain) uhh umm no Arnie u sleep ... I'll sleep in some time.

But Arnav felt her voice different and immediately switched on the table lamp only to see khushi's face scrunched in pain. He panicked at once.

Arnav : ( panicked) khushu! Jaan what happened?! Are u not feeling well?!

Khushi : ( gasping) shh relax Arnie! It's just that (painful gasp) when am on periods I get this cramps .

Arnav : but..but what can we do to stop this pain?! ( Cupping her face) Baby bohot dard ho raha hai?! ( Worried) tell me na..what I'll do? Wait I'll get hot water bag for u..

Khushi : ( in pain) no Ar..Arnie u sleep..u have early mee.. meeting tomorrow na..

Arnav : ( glaring at her) shut up Khushi! U think any damn meeting is more important for me then u?!

Khushi shut her mouth at that and Arnav hurriedly went downstairs to heat water for her.

After sometime he came back to room with hot water bag. He removed first aid box from the drawer and came to khushi. He removed her t-shirt and started applying ointment on her lower abdomen. Khushi moaned in pain.

Arnav : ( worried) baby bohot dard ho raha hai? Should we go to doc?

Khushi : no Arnie it's normal don't worry... I'll b ok by morning..u sleep bachcha.

Arnav ignored her and started massaging her lower abdomen with ointment and Khushi moaned in relief. After that he massaged with water bag and made Khushi sleep. He spooned her from behind and kept massaging her lower abdomen with water bag making her sleep on his hand. But Khushi was still squirming feeling pain.

Arnav : baby let's go to doc ..this stupid water bag method is not working for u!

Khushi : no Arnie m slowly feeling good but as soon as I sleep on bed my back pain also starts.

Arnav thought for sometime and got up. He sat on the bed leaning his back on the bed rest and pulled Khushi on his lap making her sleep on his chest and kept her head on his chest. He again kept pressing the water bag on her abdomen and pulled the quilt on both of them since khushi was only in her bra. He slowly caressed her head making her sleep.

Khushi : bachcha you won't feel comfortable...plz sleep properly Shona ..u have to leave early tomorrow for office.

Arnav : shhhh kitna bolti ho tum Khushu! Chup chap so jao! M more then comfortable when I have my whole world in my arms. ( kissing her cheek from behind)

Khushi smiled in content feeling her husband's love and care. She made herself comfortable on his chest by leaning her head behind on his chest. Both slept in that position.
