"Arnavji, it is chilling so much" khushi said rubbing her hands to keep herself warm.

Arnav tightly hugged her by side, "Now?" His voice comes out hoarsely due to the climate.

Khushi pouted and nodded her head as no. He buried her more into him.

"This is so beautiful arnavji. Wherever our eyes wander all looks white" khushi admired the view before her being snuggled in his arms.

They are now in their honeymoon like arnav planned. They reached Switzerland a day before. Jetlagged, khushi slept the whole day and today they came to zermaat where a pyramid shaped mountain peak named for most photographed mountain in the world.

"Hmm..." Arnav murmured while his concentration was totally on khushi. Her excited child like innocent face, a broad heartfelt smile, eager eyes, pink cheeks due to climate it looks more reddish enough to tempt him, her warm body seeking it's solace in his arms are enough to distract him from her talks.

"Arnavji see na, shall we also go for ice skating?" She asked after a minute of silence. How will he answer when he's totally lost in her.

"Arnavji..." She shooked him seeing his lost state.

"Haann..."

"Where are you? I am asking you something?" She pretended to pout sadly. She knows he's lost in her but a wife in her want to hear it in words from her husband.

He is ASR didn't he? He disappointed her, "Ice skating is risky khushi. You find it difficult to walk even in ordinary floor then how can you walk putting skates on" words flow out of his mouth before he could control over it. Seeing her glaring arnav bit his tongue and give her a sheepish grin.

"Don't you think, we are freezing and your body badly needs warm now" arnav used khushi's shivering form in his side. The way he said those words did it's work making khushi melt in his arms.

Tangled in thick white fur sheets khushi asked raised herself a little from his chest "Arnavji, how about spending tomorrow here itself"

"Wow, finally. Khushi Kumari gupta singh raizada decide to stay in between sheets" he said naughtly and flipped her beneath him.

"Laadgovernor, why your thoughts are always one sided. I meant to spend time in this resort itself. Here the view is awesome from lawn. The mountains view and you know i saw in pictures, this resort has open terrace restaurant. We can have our lunch enjoying the view of alps and i thought to check the spa in ground floor"

"Why you need to visit spa? Spa is for tired people and i don't think you're one so how about making the spa enjoyable?" he winked her.

"Chi...laadgovernor" slapped his chest playfully before hiding her face in his shoulders.

"Did madam forgot the swimming pool?" He asked cupping her bare shoulder. Her confused face told him the answer.

"There is an open private pool in this resort. Like terrace lunch we can see the view of alps from that pool also" he replied sincerely like a gentleman.

She twisted her lips in annoyance and disgust imagining them in open pool.

"What is there to feel disgusted?" He questioned understanding her thoughts.

"What the!! Arnavji that's an open pool. How can we? Chi..." She made a face.

"When did i said we're going to swim there?" He asked raised his eyebrows with a mischievous smile.

"Arnavji..." She shouted in embarrassment and put his palms on her face to hide from him.

Seeing her, hiding from him by his palms he laughed out.

"You're cute baby" his lips cooed on her ears. She squirmed in his arms feeling his hands doing ministrations.

"Stop it arnavji. Your stubble is tickling me..mm.." she slightly pushed his face away from her shoulders.

"Do you like here?" He asked turning her side, encircling his arms around her waist. She, in turn put her arms around his waist while other hand caressing his face lovingly.

"Haan. It's beautiful. All i want is you arnavji. If you're beside me then I'll always be happy. No matter where you takes me i'll always be contented" she poured her inner soul.

Seeing her contented face arnav wanted nothing but her happiness. He felt light and serene when her face glows in happiness.

"Hamesha... I'll be with you. Promise me you never leave me in any situation. We cannot guarantee another karan or shyam will not enter in our lives. But i promise you that'll not affect our lives"

"Hamesha arnavji..." She hugged him tight burying his face more into her. His arms embraced her warmness.

Their little moment was disturbed by phone ring.

"Argh..i am going to break that damn thing" groaned arnav.

Khushi laughed at his irritated child like face, pushing him aside she attended the call as her husband is too lazy or precise irritated to take the call.

"Hello jiji... how's bali?" Asked an excited khushi in call.

Arnav can only bury his face deep in pillow knowing this talk will never end soon. When arnav announced he and khushi are going to Switzerland anjali surprised all of them giving bali honeymoon package to aakash and planned a religious tour for themselves. Knowing all in respective tour khushi didn't put any last minute stunt much to arnav pleasure. They all start their respective journey on same day and office was managed by aman. Only in emergency cases he was allowed to contact either arnav or aakash.

Fifteen minutes passed khushi was not ready to finish the call anytime soon. Got bored, arnav nuzzled her shoulders, neck disturbing her by one or other playful way.

She tried to push him, rolled her eyes scaring him which looked more tempting for arnav only to get ended up in letting to know their state on other side.

Embarrassed on disturbing a couple in middle payal ended the call much to khushi dismay.

"Arnavji... can't you keep your hands and other things to yourself? See now jiji know what we're doing. All because of you laadgovernor" she gritted her teeth smacked him by her elbow and hided her face in her palms.

He cared less, "You're going to spend lot of time with her next week then why to waste time now? Anyways i am sure she'll not be that much innocent in differentiating honeymoon and picnic. Come on, don't be a spoilt sport khushi" he lowered her and stopped her from speaking further.

****

Their life passed blessfully. After three years,

"Bhai, don't worry. Khushiji and baby is going to be fine" consoled aakash seeing tensed arnav pacing up and down in hospital corridor.

"Your Junior sankadevi or your chotte is going to be in your arms in few minutes with his/her little hands, leg, eyes, cute chubby cheeks. Don't get tense chotte" anjali consoled him making him little relief.

"Salesaheeb..." A voice shouted came running in the hospital corridor and hugged arnav tightly.

"Salesaheeb... congratulations. Where is Junior ASR?" Excited voice making all the eyes turned on him.

"Aap bhi na jijaji...still Khushiji in labour" said aakash for which he gave sheepish smile to all.

Anjali smiled like he's gone case.

"Jijaji, looks like you're so eager to see baby" payal asked raising her eyebrows he can only give a smile and eyed anjali who caress her slightly grown up bump.

"Baby and mother are fine. Congrats ASR. You're father of a baby girl" the doctor informed the excited family before her.

The new turned father stood speechless seeing a cute bundle wrapped in pink towel is taken by nurse near him. The nurse stood confused before them, she doesn't know to whom she has to hand the baby. All were looking at the bundle mesmirsed. Nani break their trance.

"Chotee. Hold her" nani gestured the nurse to hand him the baby.

Taking her near his chest, Arnav stood admiring his baby whom he and his wife created together. Her button like nose reminding him of khushi and other are exactly his carbon copy. Bending his face down he featherly placed his lips on her forehead. Sensing him she opened her eyes. He felt he's seeing him before mirror same Chocolate brown orbs observed the surroundings. Sensing crowd she wailed taking whole hospital around her head.

Poor arnav stood shocked, amused hearing such loud voice from such tiny body.

"Looks like khushiji have to take care of two LG's" laughed anjali.

The whole delhi rejoiced this news. Raizada princess was the talk of town. Everyone tried to take pictures or atleast some snaps. Protective father in arnav never let anyone know even a single nail of her.

Their life started with sweet new turn unaware of brewing storms.
