The dinning table was jammed with the numerous dishes, the Prakash brothers had prepared delightfully.

Maahi, being the food gobbler, couldn't control, the moment she saw the arrangement and literally attacked the food making Arjun roll his eyes who had arrived just after her.

Ignoring weird Arjun's amused glare, she sat on the chair waiting desperately for others to arrive.

And the moment arrived soon when she found the proud granny coming with her triplets trailing behind with marshmallows in their little hands and grin on their lips.

And why not?

They were receiving the love of granny in bulk quantity that too which was never going to end or be less.

Maahi smiled at her who reciprocated the same and then made the berries sit who looked aww after seeing the dishes served.

Arjun sat beside his niece and looked at his mother who gave her a knowing look and then asked-

Where is Arnav and his wife?
Have they forgotten the rule of dining together or they are busy in hurting everyone here more?

Her words sounded bitter but the hurt laced tone pierced the heart of Khushi and Arnav who had arrived.

Maahi looked pitifully at Khushi whose eyes were filled with tears of guilt but she couldn't help at the moment because somewhere she too had realised that Khushi had taken a panicked hasty decision and did a mistake by not confronting her mother-in-law.

Arnav, who too had heard the words and looked highly pissed ignored his wife's grief and marched towards the dining table only to say What the as his reserved seat was now occupied by a full-on grinning Khushav and not only that the place all nearby HIS mother were occupied by those annoying chickens of him.

Grumply he sat on one of the farthest chair but not before pulling his wife to the seat right next to him.

Their mother eyed them with a frown but unavoidably a small smile escaped her lips which she covered quicker than it arrived.

Yes, she is happy but more than that she is hurt and the pain of not being with her daughter-in-law at the most important phase of her life and being devoid of experiencing the feeling of what it means to hold your newly born grand children, their first cry, smile, laugh, walk and their every first which she missed won't go this soon or may be it won't go ever.

Right this moment, she is contended with the fact that her family is with her. She only wish HER to be here, then her full family would have been in front of her eyes.

Alas!  She knows, it can't be possible till her Arnav remains this bitter.

She had trusted Khushi that she would enlighten her son's darkened life but she cheated her that too breaking her heart mercilessly.

The dinner began but Khushi's eyes were stuck at her mommy who was busy pampering her berries.

Ohh!  How much they have craved for all the love.

Was she actually a coward to run?

Her self-griveances ended when she felt the man beside her sulking over something which is annoying for her. Her eyes travelled to the source and her nose flared realising that the possessive raizada is jealous with the fact that his mother isnt bothered about her ever so loving Chote.

The berries looked at her mother who was beaming back at them with happiness but then frowned noticing how their baddie Papa was eyeing them.

They frowned and then showed their tongue back to him making their granny chuckle.

Arnav flared his nose at his mother who gave him a cold look back while berries mother was busy oogling at her berries with Arjun and Maahi busy eating and this is how the dinner ended.

The dinner ended and scepticism of Khushi started for where will she and her berries would accommodate.

For no intention, she has, of sharing the room with that specific 'what the' phrase owner.

She looked at Maahi whose cheeks were being warmly caressed by Ratna and then sent to one of the guest rooms.

So, she can definitely adjust with Maahi.

Sighing she walked towards her but she couldn't move for the stalker husband had already captured her in his cage with no intention of leaving her to run in Maahi's room.

Where do you think, you are going wife?
He asked rather sensually than angrily making Khushi gulp because not only his voice but his body showed the signs of his desperateness.

(If only you all know, what I mean by that.😉😉)

Leave me, Mr. Raizada. I already told you not yo come near me or show your rights for you hold no right on m........

Khushi started but well before she could complete, her ever so possessive husband had turned her behind and without a thought and sense of the surrounding or their current relationship status, he smacked his rough lips at her soft ones making Khushi jerk back and shed angry tears with her constant resistance.

But then, this Arnav was different, who thought only about his feelings and thus his wife's tears had no effect on him and by now his forceful kiss had turned into rather needful one while Khushi was on the receiving and bearing side of his wild need.

A loud gasp made Arnav pause and look at the intruder being still in the same pose but now anger and annoyance reflecting for being intruded at the intimate moment.

Unwantedly, he left her mouth to stare her tears sticken and angered eyes. But instead of being ashamed or guilty, he smirked his devilish one and eyeing her lustfully ordered-

Next five minutes and I should find you in OUR room.

And yes, don't pressurize your little brain thinking of ideas to ignore it because the moment the duration ends, the whole family would witness our passionate romance and you very well know that I am capable enough of doing it.

After all, this won't be the first time, you have already experienced it.

So be the obedient wife that you have always been and meet me in our room in next five minutes.

Saying this and ignoring Khushi's murderous glare he turned to leave, stopped turned again and said in an annoyed tone-

And yea, do tell your tail not to trail behind her Khushi di all the time now. You have a husband who needs all of your time. So, if she doesnt wish to witness our steamy sessions tell her to stick to her place.

Giving a final stern glare to both Khushi and Maahi who was still shocked with the kiss she had witnessed, he left the room with a winning attitude.

To be continued..

Yea, I guess I am back.
