“Arnavji”

“Hmm” he replied while sitting on the recliner typing his work away.

“Arnavji” she called again.

“Hmm..mm” he stretched and stressed still typing.

“Arnavji”

“What is it Khushi?” He glanced at her lying form.

“Arnavji”

“What the! Do you have something to say? Or just wanna irritate me like always”

“Arnavji”

“Urgh!! Stop Khushi.” He pulled his hair.

“Arnavji”

Getting irritated, he picked his lappy and stormed out towards the poolside. Sitting on the chair kept outside he saw a smirking Khushi.

“Unbelievable man!!” he muttered.

Khushi hurriedly stood on the bed and literally jumped down from it, running towards the french doors. Closing them, she locked them from inside.

“What the!” Was what she heard before pulling the curtains close.

“Khushi open the door!” He commanded and knocked.

“No. Stay outside.” She said after a long wait.

“What? But why? I clearly remember I didn't do anything to spoil your mood? Anyways are you opening the door or not?” He asked, temper breaking its record.

“Nahh” moving away she locked the door of her room, least he enters from there.

“Khushi!!” He warned.

“Laad governor!! Go and eat the brain of your clients. I want some peace.”

“Fuck!!” He muttered under his breath. He knew what her peace meant. Watching Salman Khan's latest movie.

Moving away, he picked his prized possession, laptop and went inside the study for a better environment.

Nearly after 3 and half hours when he felt little hungry, he got up and came outside. He called his di knowing his wife would be busy with her so called peace.

“Di!!” He called.

No answer.

“Nani”

No answer.

“Mami”

Yet no answer.

Till then he came to know that none of them were in the house. Sighing, he went to his busy wife. Knocking on the door, he called her.

“Khushi?”

He heard some shuffling and then the sound of door unlocking. Pushing the door open, he was countered with a dark room with dim lights. The atmosphere screamed romance. Walking in, he saw the small candles lit on the floor at measurable distances from each other. The coffee table held 4 small water candles and a big white candle placed in its holders. The rose petals had been spread evenly around it.

The bed was beautifully decorated with a heart made out of roses in center. The curtains of french door were pulled close not allowing the moonlight to enter in.

He stood awestruck. No words flew out but then he suddenly remembered,

“Khushi?” He called.

No response

“Khushi, I know you are here somewhere. Come out now.” He said looking in the room.

Suddenly he felt two hands snake around his torso and a head placed on his back.

“Khushi” he called and tried turning around.

“You… you did all this?” He asked.

No response!!!!!

Quickly turning around he saw his beautiful bride standing infront of him completely cladded in red. The same saree she had worn during the photoshoot.

His eyes widened slightly.

“Khu… Khushi?”

“What is all this?”

Slowly she raised her head and met his curious eyes. Slowly lowering herself, she sat on her one knee.

“What the?” Escaped his mouth. He was going to make her stand when she began, looking in his eyes.

“I wanted to thank you for everything. Every single thing you did for me Arnav ji. Despite hurting me with your anger, you trusted me. You loved me. You bear my tantrums. You bear my craziness. You support my idiotic ideas. You get along with me in my craziness. You have loved me like no one could ever do. You have brought a light in my life. You have given me the love I craved, the love which I couldn't gain from my parents. Being orphan, you accepted me. You gave me a place in your house, in your heart. You have even changed yourself for me. You controlled your anger, your what the's.” She chuckled making him scoff at her.

“You have been a lovable husband, friend and the best life partner I could ever ask. Thank you for coming in my life and bringing along the light with you. Wishing you very happy anniversary, Arnav.” Khushi said and opened her fist which held a small box.

Opening it, she took out the a simple platinum ring. Taking it out from the box, she kept the box aside and extended it towards him.

He stood shocked by her little confession. It was just a surprise that his little wife gave him.

“Arnavji. Give your hand na”

Smiling and smirking at the same time, he extended his hand. Pushing it in his ring finger she tried to stand up from her position that made her knee hurt

“Ouch” she fell on her butts on the carpeted floor as her foot got entangled in her saree. He held his stomach and laughed out louder.

“Laad governor!” she yelled at him. Extending his hand he tried making her stand. But Khushi instead of taking help, pulled him towards her making him fall on her.

She laughed as he fell half on her and half beside her. His one arm snaked around her waist and other supporting his own weight. Narrowing his eyes at her , he saw her laughing. A small hearty smile came on his lips. Slowly moving forward, he captured her in his arms and then her lips.

“So wify wanted to surprise me after annoying me! Huh?” He asked pulling back from the kiss.

Giggling, she nodded.

“But what was the need of annoying me so much? You could have asked and I would have left and let you had your peace?”

She lifted her brow giving him oh-really look .

“Ok. I would not have. I admit.” He said making her smirk.

Making them stand, he lifted her in his arms and carried themselves to the decorated bed. Placing her softly on the bed, he towered her small frame.

“When did you get this ring?”

“Few days back.”

“But I didn't see any transactions in the account?” He frowned.

“Because I didn't use your money laad governor. I brought this from my savings, dabba business and the tuitions I take.”

“Hmm” he hummed placing soft kisses on her hand.

“I am sorry. I again forgot our anniversary.” he said guilty.

“I know. But I ain't angry this time. I myself don't know why! But dare you forget next time.” She pointed her finger at him, warning him.

Chuckling, he nodded.

“I won't dare my Jhansi ki Rani.”

“Acha Khushi, Akash and Payal had a baby girl last year. What about you? Who do you wanna have?”

“I want a baby boy just like you. He should have your eyes and the jaw line. My hair and nose. Your lips and my cheeks. I want him to be just like me. And yes I don't want him to inherit your anger, especially those what the's. So you better control it. I want him to be like me. Bubbly, talkitive and most importantly he should annoy you to hell.” She said with a different level of enthusiasm and winked at him, tracing his every feature as she described their future baby.

“I see. But I want a baby girl.” He said with puppy dog face.

“Ohh.” She went into deep thought.

“We could have baby girl later. First a boy. And I want a big brother for my doll. Who would protect her and be possessive of her. Just like you are for me.” She blushed.

“Hmm… Not bad. Chlo let's make a baby boy then.” He hovered over her tiny frame and placed his lips on her, not letting her speak.

Later, the room was filled with the moans, groans and pants of the couple. And exactly as the couple wanted, they had a baby boy by the end of the year.

“Arnavji!!!” Khushi exclaimed in happiness.

“He is just like we wanted him to be. Look the same eyes as yours, your lips. Aww… he is shoo chotuu sa (small). Look, his hands. They are so tiny. I am in love with him.” looking at him “Even more than you. I love my baby.”

“Acha, let my baby girl come. She will team up with me.”

“Hahah. I am not giving you any more child now. Stay alone.” Looking at the small bundle of joy in her hands she asked “Haina baby?”

To their surprise, he smiled in his sleep as if enjoying the little fight of their parents and agreeing to his mother.

“Aww…. Look he too agrees with me.” She said

“No one loves me.” He cried in annoyance.

“Hahaha…. Gud one but not falling for that.” She said shrugging her shoulders.

Moving forward, he towered over her. Looking directly in her eyes with pure love. He said in husky voice.

“I know how to take what I want Khushi. And let me tell you, the baby girl will have your eyes, your lips, your hair, your cheekbones, and everything yours. But she will be daddy's girl. And gear up, because I am gonna spoil her to bits.”

“Huh!!” She said still in the daze.

“By the end of next year, you would be holding my girl.”  He said making her blush furiously.

True to his words, they had a cute baby girl the following year.

“Khushi, why don't we try for twins.”

She turned abruptly, her eyes widened.

“Shut up. I am not able to handle these two muchkins of yours and you want two more to be added in the list.” She said lifting her boy and making him wear his clothes. But just like his dad he has been naughty and stubborn.

“I want one more baby girl Khushi.”

“Nooooo.” Closing her ears, she ran away from the room.

And Thats how they led their small Peaceful life with 4 kids. As planned by Arnav they had twins the following year. 😉

I wrote this long back. The OS is sooo close to my heart. So I thought to post it.
