New House...

Outskirt of Delhi....

Late Night...

" You are so beautiful, do you know that?" and saying so , Arnav fused his lips with his beautiful wife. He doesn't know how to describe this kiss, it was not a mere kiss. It was something else, it was beyond love. Arnav missed Khushi so much every second of his life, her touch, her innocence, her trust, her presence and her warmth and love. It took sometime for her to react but eventually she did. Arnav just loved this tiny girl, who changed him every possible way. He yanked her even more closer and never wanted this to turn out to be a dream, he loved her. He loved her from every ounce of his being. And Arnav is so much lucky to have her as his wife...

HIS...ONLY HIS... Forever...

This petite girl is everything for him. He kissed her with every emotion he felt for her. Arnav know she was craving for his touch too and finally he broke the kiss as she was literally finding it difficult to breath. But the best part was in spite of all this she did not stopped him. She adored him, she bossed around him, she flaunted that she is the only one who had rights on him and Arnav knows all are true, the ultimate truth of his life now.

Arnav kissed Khushi's nape, she simply shut her eyes tight. Her hands travelling in his hair, gripping them. He just kept kissing her neck. He could find goosebumps all over her neck. She always became very affected by his slightest touch. Arnav bit her collar bone and she just kept moaning "ummm" and he was getting turned on and then just licked it and sucked on it to sooth the pain. He could say that she was not in a state to say anything, she was lost and so was him.

Arnav then slowly planted a soft kiss on her naval and she moaned loudly. She is making him crazy once again, he started bitting her naval and making her moan harder. He then undressed both of them and kissed her passionately. Arnav was staring at Khushi and she was blushing hard, suddenly she covered her chest with her hands but he removed her hands and slowly started giving soft kisses on her bosom.

" ahhhhh.. Arnie..." she moaned."Don't moan that way, you will be in trouble" Arnav said in a husky voice biting her nipple. He sucked her bosom harder making them red and as a reward he heard her loudest moan. "Do you like the way I touch you?" he asked taking her nipple in his mouth again. "Ahhhh... I love.. I love it" she said holding his hair and pulling him more to her bosom. Arnav started giving love bites all over her body. Khushi can not do anything just moaning and pulling her husband more to her. "Ahhh.. Khushi... I can not get enough of kissing you" Arnav said and immediately took her lips into his. The kiss was passionate then ever. Their naked bodies giving them shivering. Finally after hours he again claimed her as his. Arnav collapsed on Khushi still inside her. She is his, his to love, his to own, his to possess, his .. only His.

"I love her" it was the only thought before Arnav drifted to sleep.

Next Day Morning..

Arshi's bedroom....

New House...

Khushi could feel Arnav's long fingers lightly, gently caressing her bare back. She smiled in her sleep. Khushi knew Arnav was staring at her. Khushi shifted around in her place to avoid the harsh rays of sunlight that further disturbed her sleep. Khushi heard Arnav giggle and she opened her eyes to see his smiling face.

" Good morning angel," he kissed her forehead. Khushi looked at him through her sleepy eyes, her face breaking into a smile at the sight of him. " I want to see your face first thing every morning, for the rest of my life." He sighed, dreamily staring at his wife.

Khushi grinned, she loved it when Arnav talked about their life, their present and their future. " me too," She whispered. He smiled back, then leaned in to kiss her. " Arnav ?"

" Hmm?" Arnav breathed, still coming in for the kiss.

" I am hungry." He stopped in his place, looked at her, then busted out in laughter. " A hundred and one ways to kill the mood by Khushi Ray You should write it." He faked a smile.

Khushi rolled her eyes, " fine, go ahead and make fun of me. What's the worst that could happen? I will die of starvation, but who cares."

Something flashed in Arnav's eyes at the mention of death but it was gone before Khushi could register it.

He shook his head, " Okay drama queen. Get dressed, we will have breakfast in the way back and then I will drop you home before going to office" he offered.

She kissed his lips, " you are the best."

He grinned with a wink, " I know."

Khushi wanted to stay in their new home forever, but reality was a stone's throw away. No matter how bad she wanted, they could not stay there for long because reality came knocking. They had their family there in RM and they were waiting up for them, specially their son Advay... Besides, Arnav has a very important meeting today...

Arnav drove Khushi back to RM. She caught him staring at her every now and then with a huge smile on his face. Khushi bit her lip to control her smile and the butterflies he gave her every time he looked at her.

"We are here." Arnav announced, pulling up in RM huge driveway.

Khushi looked at him with a smile. "thanks," he smiled back, but his smile turned into a frown as he studied her closely. He tucked a few lose strands of hair behind her ear, " what's wrong baby? You look tired and completely worn out." If Khushi did not hear the concern dripping from his voice, she would have assumed he was teasing her.

" I am fine," Khushi assured but he did not look convinced.

" You don't look fine. Should we go to the doctor?" Khushi wanted to say yes because she genuinely did not feel well, but she knew the amount of worry that would cause Arnav... He will leave everything and just run... But today, he is needed in the office...

" No, I am fine," Khushi said instead.

He sighed, " you look fatigued." Guilt flashed his eyes and he looked at her apologetically, " is it because of me? Last night, was I .."

" Arnav !" Khushi interrupted him, not wanting him to finish that sentence. She cleared her throat, "I am fine." she forced a smile, hoping he would get the hint.

He bit his lip, " don't worry. I will take it easy on you next time." He winked.

Khushi rolled her eyes, but before she could throw a comeback his phone beeped and his attention was taken from her. The smile from his face faded as he skimmed through the text. The glimpse of fear Khushi saw on Arnav's face worried her.

" Arnav?" she placed her hand on his, " are you okay?"

He looked at her clearly not okay. "yeah, I have got an emergency in office. I have to go, You please stay at home and take rest."

" of course. But are you okay?" Khushi asked, refusing to let his hand go. He gulped, she could see the beads of sweat forming on his forehead. " I am fine, go in." he whispered, pointing towards RM.

" But Arnav... you are not fine. Can I help..."

" Khushi...!" he snatched his hand from Khushi's, " I said I am fine, please just go inside."

Khushi stared at Arnav's hand, then at her. Defeated, she took her hand back and opened the door to get out of the car. But before she could get out, she felt a tug on her arm and in the next second Khushi was in Arnav's lap with his lips on her. " I am sorry," he whispered against her mouth.

" it's okay." Khushi whispered back, breathing in his addictive scent.

He looked at her sadly, " it's not okay and I am not fine. But I will make it okay," he kissed her forehead. " I will see you in evening.. Don't go outside alone today.. Take rest.... Please... Don't go outside..." Khushi nodded and got off his lap. Before she could get out the car, he pulled on her arm again, " I love you."

She smiled, " I love you too Arnav." 

" Together... Forever..."Both uttered in unison... 

Giving her one last kiss, Khushi saw Arnav speed off in worry.

**********************

Late Evening ...

Same day...

Khushi's Point of View...

It was late at evening and there was no news of Arnav.. He just messaged me that he will be late, Even he did not talk with me for long... He was behaving worried and something was bothering him.. I was feeling restless and when Payal said that she wants to go for Shopping, I instantly agreed.. I badly needed to divert my mind..

XYZ mall...

30 minutes later...

Payal was busy in trial room while I was standing near the trial room when someone bump with me..

It was Amaya..

" Hi... what are you doing here?" I just asked out of curiosity.. She was suppose to stay at AR for the important meeting but, what she is doing here?

Amaya shrugged, " For shopping ofcourse, what did you thought that I was looking for you?"

I raised my brows, " Why I would think about that absurd ? I thought you were in the meeting.. You are Arnav's newly appointed PA right?"

" Wrong... I am here for a purpose.. I mean, the newly appointed PA got some family issues, so she is on leave for few months.. I am just replacing her... She is a GOOD FRIEND of mine...Anyways How are you Mrs Ray?" Amaya said lookig at me weirdly..

I felt her voice and attitude is really suspicious but still I respond, " This is the best phase of my life... Thanks for asking anyways.."

Amaya studied me for a moment before she spoke. " you trust too easily, don't do that to yourself. You will regret it," she whispered. "You are too naïve for your own good. Who knows when the best phase turn into a nightmare?"

I could feel the frown on my face , "What? What rubbish are you talking about?"

She sighed, then consciously looked around. " I need to talk to you..."

" Hi...Ladies," we were interrupted before Amaya could finish. I turned around to see Veer walking towards us. " is there a problem?" he asked with a smile, his eyes lingering at Amaya for a little longer.

I saw a flash of fear in Amaya's eyes, but it was gone within seconds. She disguised it with a nervous smile. She cleared her throat, " No. I was on my way out. I will go back home..."

" I will walk you out." Veer offered , the smile refusing to leave his face as he stared at Amaya.

STRANGE...

Why Veer is offering Amaya a lift? Did he knew Amaya before?

" No," Amaya objected , fidgeting in her space. She was scratching her own arms really hard, if she did it any longer, she would bleed. She turned to me, "You have no idea what's in store for you," she whispered, ignoring the hard glare Veer sent her.

What the hell was she talking about now?

Without sparing either of us another glance, she walked out. " what was that? and you know Amaya, Veer Bhai?" I asked Veer when Amaya was out of sight. Surprisingly Veer was still looking at her retreating back...

" Good evening to you too Khushi." He laughed, dodging my question. " Where's your Romeo?"

" You did not answer my question Bhai... Do you know Amaya??" I asked looking at Veer who nodded his head in agreement..

" I had seen her before once, that too years before..... I am not sure she is the same Amaya or not... That's why I wanted to drop her home.." Veer said unmindful..

" Bhai... what were you mumbling?? I can not hear you.." I said while Veer just smile at me and shrugged his shoulder..

" Forget it.. Tell me where is your Romeo? He left you alone?" Veer said jokingly..

" I am here with Payal.. Arnav had a empire to run Bhai.. By the way how is your Hotel buisness going on? I heard you got few really good deals.. and tell me How Aunty and Uncle are doing? And any progress about your relationship with Lavanya??" I asked in one go making Veer chuckle a little..

" Khushi.. You are such a sweetheart.. Well everyone is well at home.. maa was asking about you.. She is very happy that finally our Arnav had found you in his life.. you know.. we never saw Arnav this much happy and contented in his life before.. and regarding Lavanya and Me, we are thinking to give our relationship a chance again... In past we both were wrong.. Me and her always had gave priority to other matter in our life rather than our relationship.. we both acted selfish..But what we both felt for each other was genuine and that's why we are still working on our relationship..." Veer said while with a faint smile on his face..

" I will pray to my Devi Maiyaa that you both get your happiness soon.." I smiled broadly while Veer just patted my head..

" Do come home sometimes and also bring Lavanya.. Tell her, I have forgiven her.." I said again while Veer just looked at me..

" I will bring her to RM but not before we dissolve our issues.. I.." Veer was interruspetd by an overjoyed Payal..

" Khushi... Uff... Finally I completed my selcetion of dress.. Now we should go for some snacks.. My tummy is... oppse..." Payal stop suddenly looking at Veer..

" Hello to you too Payal.." Veer laughed looking at Payal's flushed face..

" Hello Veer.. good to see you.. What you are doing here by the way?" Payal asked..

" Came for a meeting with a client actually in the café cofee day.. I was about to go back but saw Khushi and just burged in.. But now I have to go back... Let me drop you both at RM then..." Veer said and but Payal nodded her head in negetive..

" We have car with us Veer.. Mohan is there.. Thanks .." Payal and I both smiled and Veer side hugged us and finally bid bye to us..

Another 30 minutes later...

Khushi and Payal was finally going back to RM from shopping... Khushi was silent suddenly.. She was feeling a sudden kind of restlessness.. Suddenly her phone ping and a message entered... Khushi's face broke into a million dollar smile reading the message..

" Mohanji, please drop me ar Ray Fashion House.." Khushi said while Payal arched her eye brow with a teasing smile on her lips..Khushi just shakes her head..

Soon Payal drove back with Mohan leaving Khushi at Ray Fashion House entrance.. Khushi looked again at Arnav message where he told her to come office..

Finally when Khushi entered in Arnav's cabin she found Arnav was signing some documents..

" Hi..." Khushi asked in low whispered..

" Hi... beautiful.." Arnav was beside her in a instance..

" Why you called me so urgently?" Khushi asked in a low voice while wunding her hands around her husband's neck and placed a soft kiss on his cheek..

" Are you trying to seduce me wifey? Then you must know, you don't have to try.. I get always turn on just seeing you.." Arnav wink making Khushi blush a little more..

" But Now we have a serious matter to discuss.. I need your signatures in few papers.." Arnav said while holding khushi's hand and they both sat on the lavish couch..

" I need you to be the co-CEO of Ray Fashion House." Arnav said.

Khushi blinked. Twice. " excuse me?"

" I am transferring 49% of the company stocks and shares to you. You will officially be the co-owner of company from now on..Rest is with Akash and payal." Arnav said with a smile on his face..

" You are transferring your shares in my name??" Khushi asked while struggled out of his hold, staring at him in anger, " You have lost your fricking mind." She tried to walk out but he held her again.

" yes I have lost my mind. You make me lose my mind." Arnav's nostrils flared in sudden anger which Khushi knew he was trying to conceal.

" I don't need any shares or anything... Just forget about that.." Khushi said suddenly raising her voice too..

Arnav rolled his eyes, " Don't argue with me on this. I have already made up mind. You are my wife and my life partner, You are my equal and always will be. Equal not just personally, but professionally too. From next month you will work in Ray Fashion House... I want you near me 24 hours.."

"Are you insane? Have you totally lost it? I told you earlier and telling you again, I don't need any share or money.. I have you in my life, Advay and my family.. That's enough for me..." Khushi argued.

" I don't care whether you want them or not. I am giving them to you either way, it's final." Arnav kissed Khushi's forehead, then left her with a jerk and walked back to his desk.

Khushi gritted her teeth, following him to his desk to rip his hair out. " that is not happening . I refuse the offer."

" It was not an offer, it was a decision. I did not ask for your approval or refusal baby. I made decision and I told you." Arnav started flicking through his files, keeping his eyes away from her.

Khushi snatched the file from him and threw it across the room. He looked at her annoyed. " On what basis should I be the CEO of the company? "

Arnav stood up, his hard glare meeting my gaze. " On the basis that I fucking love you. That you are my legally and ritually wedded wife.." He went around the room, picked up the file she had thrown and started flicking through it again.

" I don't want it." Arnav did not pay attention to Khushi so she snatched the file from him again. " Look at me when I am talking to you," Khushi scowled.

" This is not up for discussion. I have made the decision already and you are going to cooperate." Arnav tried to take the file back but Khushi threw it away again.

" Why are you being so difficult Khushi?" he was getting annoyed, but trying not to lose it at her.

Arnav Ray was not one to take no for an answer.

" You can not make decision for me," Khushi suddenly hardened her jaw and blurted out..and Arnav look frozen

" What? I can not make decision for you? You want to mean that I have no Right?" Arnav said and Khushi realized she again spoke some irrevalant word in her anger.. She never wanted Arnav's money and suddenly Arnav's decision had made her puzzled...

Khushi shakes her head looking at Arnav's face.. He looks broken..

" You want to mean that I have no right to take decision on your behafe??" Arnav spoke while his face indicates how much hurt he is just by Khushi's those few words..

" Arnav..." Khushi tried to hold his hand to control the damage but Arnav suddenly flare his nose and almost yelled..." You know what? Fuck it. I am out. Do whatever the hell you want, see if I care. From now onwards.. I will not bother you..."

Khushi held his arm desperately, "Arnav please."

Arnav released his arm from Khushi's hold, " You know what I feel for you, you know what you mean to me and how much I fucking love you. I lose my mind thinking about you, trying to keep you close because I am so bloody scared of losing you. Yet everytime you say these things, I ... it hurts Khushi. I have tried so hard with you, to make you comfortable but you just.." he shook his head. "Just leave me alone, please." Before Khushi could stop him, Arnav stormed out of the room, leaving KHUSHI behind.

Khushi felt a sudden fear engulf her when Arnav just exited the cabin.. Her vision blurred with the unshed tears....

Something is going to happen..

Something very unexpected....

To be contd.....
