Part 62 Intentionally...

"I love you" Arnav kissed her cheek strong.

She brought her trembling fingers to his cheek and cupped his face.

"I love you too..." She said.

"I got to know that seeing you letting me do what I want... you were so submissive..."

She smiled with a blush and hugged him.

"Hey..."

"Mmm?"

"My waiting came to an end"

"Didn't it come to an end on our wedding day itself?" She asked teasingly.

"This is different"

"How?"

"My LONG waiting came to an end on our wedding day and my LONGING came to an end today" he nuzzled his nose on her cheek.

Khushi smiled closing her eyes.

"You know how much I longed for you?"

"Yeah... I got to know that when you reached the climax quickly" She controlled her smile.

"What to do? I was so heated up..."

"I felt it"

"Don't you still feel my heat?" he asked huskily.

Khushi again smiled closing her eyes.

"Answer me..."

"Mmm"

"Don't blush a lot... it's kicking my sense. I may turn ON again"

"Don't search for a reason to be turned on...! Sleep. We will have to go to the office tomorrow"

"Not tomorrow but today..." he laughed.

Khushi looked at the clock and was perplexed to see the time was 12:15 am.

"Arnavji, let me sleep"

"Call me Arnav"

She nodded not blushing.

"Why? Will you call only when I..."

She pressed her palm on his mouth and said,

"Stop it..."

"Why don't you want to hear it verbally?"

"It's awkward Arnavji"

"Ok, if you don't want me to talk about it, call me Arnav"

"No..." She turned opposite to him.

He pulled her towards him.

"Call me Arnav"

"I said no"

"Really?"

"Really..." She covered herself with a duvet.

Arnav sighed and slipped into the same duvet.

The next morning

When Arnav woke up, Khushi was not in the room. He took a quick shower and came downstairs. He saw Khushi in the kitchen with Ratna.

"Good morning Mom"

"Good morning"

"Arnavji, shall I prepare coffee?" Khushi asked.

Without answering her,

"Mom, what's the age difference between me and Khushi?"

Ratna looked at Khushi and said,

"Eight years..."

"She calls me Arnav without respect..."

Ratna stopped her work and looked at Arnav who was seriously looking at her. She saw a shocked expression on Khushi's face.

"But, she called you Arnavji now..."

"It's because you are here..."

"When she calls you respectfully in front of others, I can't take it. Even though she calls you disrespectful I can't poke my nose in your matter... you guys sort it out"

"Mom... how could you be so irresponsible?"

"It's because you would conflict today and patch up tomorrow. So, I'm not ready to interfere in your matter and get a nose cut... you just carry on"

"Mom, ask her to call me Arnav"

Ratna raised her brows.

"So, this is the matter?" she looked at Khushi who was glaring at Arnav.

"She called me only once, Mom. I liked it but she is not ready to continue it,"

Ratna smiled at Khushi who reciprocated her awkwardly.

"Husbands are so mean...! If they give us a chance, we should not miss it..." She chuckled.

Khushi blushed.

That was when Lavanya came there.

"Good morning all of you"

"Good morning"

"Mom, is not Khushi looking shining?" Lavanya asked teasingly and Khushi looked down touching her cheek.

"What happened to you guys? Both are pulling her leg?" Ratna asked.

Lavanya looked at Arnav, like, YOU TOO? He nodded yes pressing his lips.

"Oh, my baby..." Lavanya hugged Khushi and kissed her cheek.

"Abjection your honor... this is not done," Arnav said, making Khushi embarrassed.

"Bhai, this is too much. Your wife will not become short or thin if I kiss her; she is my friend. I have all the right to kiss her..."

"Abjection over ruled..." Ratna laughed, making all of them laugh.

"Khushi, will you give me the new deal file? I want to give it a look" Lavanya asked.

Khushi nodded ok and rushed out of the kitchen to save herself from their tease. Ratna hit Arnav.

"Why are you making her embarrassed?"

"Is not she looking cute with popped eyes?" he asked smiling.

Ratna and Lavanya nodded yes chuckling. Lavanya headed to Arnav's room. She knew Khushi would have to search for the file. Yes, she emptied her bag and turned it upside down. She searched the file in the cupboard and then on the bed. She didn't know where she misplaced it. She was sure she didn't remove it from her bag.

"What happened, Khushi?" Lavanya asked.

"I don't know where I kept it... it's not in my bag"

"Wait, I will ask Arnav"

Lavanya came out of the room and intentionally shouted for everybody to hear.

"Arnav, did you take the file from Khushi's bag?"

Arnav who came out of the kitchen frowned.

"I didn't take it"

"It's not in Khushi's bag... she misplaced it somewhere it seems"

Arnav galloped to his room.

"Where did you keep it, Khushi?"

Khushi nodded her head with confusion.

"Did you bring it from the office?"

She nodded yes.

At the same time, Arvind who came there asked Lavanya.

"What's the problem?"

"The file is missing," Lavanya said observing his reaction.

"whaaaat? Is the file missing?"

Lavanya nodded yes.

"How could Khushi be so careless?" He entered Arnav's room, making Lavanya shrink her eyes.

"Did you misplace the file?" he asked Khushi.

Khushi nodded yes sadly.

"I didn't know you would be highly irresponsible. Do you realize the value of your position in A2? Don't you know what is Arnav's reputation in the business field is? How could you be so irresponsible? What will he answer Aman?"

Arnav and Khushi were dumbfounded. They didn't know why he was reacting that way.

"Dad, why do you get tensed? Relax... she must be kept it in our room only"

"Chotte, you married her not only because she is your childhood wife but also because she is an educated and responsible girl who could help you in your business..."

Cutting him,

"Excuse me, dad... you are unnecessarily connecting the wrong dots. I would have married Khushi even though she is uneducated. I didn't marry her just because she would help in business... if my aim had been my business; I had many ways to build it..."

"I didn't mean it, Chotte..."

Arnav was about to say something, but Khushi stopped him.

"Arnavji, he didn't know I had another COPY of the file. That's why he is tensed"

All three looked at her with different expressions. Arnav was relieved, Lavanya was stunned and Arvind was shocked. He didn't expect, Khushi would be so clever. He tried to turn the situation against her but she was a step ahead then him.

"Is it, Khushi? Do you have another copy?" Arnav asked her cheerfully.

"Yes, I used to keep two copies of all the important files and documents"

"That's my girl..." Arnav looked at Arvind smilingly.

"I don't want to make mistakes in the FILE matter... that's why," Khushi said controlling her smile. Arnav rolled his eyes as he understood what she was hinting. Didn't he tear her project file to FIRE her from A2 once?

"Nice..." Arvind smiled awkwardly.

He was supposed to leave the place, but Lavanya blocked his way.

"Your acting was amazing Dad," she said.

"Acting... what do you say?"

"Stealing the file from Khushi's bag, how marvelously you scolded her for being irresponsible...! Hats off, Dad"

Arvind was thunderstruck. He looked at her shockingly.

"What are you blabbering?" he gritted his teeth.

Arnav came to Lavanya and asked,

"What did you say?"

"I saw him going from your room last night. The file was in his hand. He hid it under the bed when I called him for dinner. I checked after he left the room getting a doubt. It was A2's project file"

"No... she is lying"

"Go and check his bed. The file would be there but I replaced all the papers with some random paper of the file because I thought he would destroy it but I didn't know Khushi would have another copy of the file"

"Lavanya... shut up..." Arvind raised his hand, making everyone shocked.

Arnav held his hand and pulled him behind.

"What the hell is this, Dad?" Arnav asked wrathfully.

Arvind gulped down. He tried to touch Lavanya in a consoling manner, but she pushed his hand and shouted,

"You are a lair... cheater... I hate you, Dad"

"Lavanya"

"Arnav, go and check... then say," Lavanya said, looking at Arvind.

Arnav walked to his room and checked under the bed. Khushi who followed him felt bad as Arnav took a file from under the bed. As Lavanya said, there were some other papers in the file. Lavanya went to her room and came with the original papers. She handed it to Arnav.

"I didn't know why he did that, Arnav. He has some intentions. I'm highly disappointed with him" Lavanya said annoyingly.

Arnav threw the file on the floor and walked to his room but he didn't find Arvind there. Arnav was frustrated. Arvind was crossing his limits. He called Rohan but he didn't attend the call, making him more irritated.

After half an hour, Arnav got a call from Rohan. He attended it. Before Arnav said anything,

"ASR, your father's car banged on a tree. He was admitted to the hospital" Rohan said.

Arnav frowned. Why did Rohan say BANGED on a tree instead of MET WITH AN ACCIDENT?

"Banged on the tree? What do you mean?"

"Your father intentionally banged the car on a tree," Rohan said making Arnav horrified.
