Chapter 42: Something changing

''Can i stay here for some days?'' She asked. He look bamboozled.

''Jis jage humne apna pyaar khoya uski jage se hum apni zindagi ki nayi shuruvat karna chahte hain..'' (A place where i lost my everything i wanted to start my new life from there) He recalled her words and look back at the figure working in the kitchen like his old khushi.

He was only staring her too shocked to believe or comprehend anything. Slowly, he reached and stand behind her who is making his favorite pasta like every other day she prepare for him with so much love.

What is happening?Is she really here or his stupid imagination? He was trying to ponder and stare her continuously like an alien. She is wearing simple loose salwar kameez. Her baby bump growing day by day making her to look more beautiful and breath taking. Her dupatta tugged around her waist and hair tied in a loose bun.

She was now cutting vegetable and in between pushing her hairs behind in a way that literally stop his heart beat. He adore her like a mad lover. Her simplicity filled his heard with love again.

Damn how much he wanted to take her into his arms and never let her go! He smiled drowning in some another world.

He continue being mesmerized by her, enjoying the beautiful dream in front of him without being noticed by her.

''No she can't be here..'' He shook his head and close his eyes. A fear started to pump him. What if he open his eyes and she disappear. He don't want to loose this moment. So he didn't move an inch and look at her stupidly.

''Ap yaha kya kar rahe hain...? (What're you doing here)

Her melodious voice hit his ears. A beautiful smile appeared on his face. Her voice was piano to him.

''Hello Mr raizada? She waved her hand in front of his eyes. No response.

''I'm talking to you..?''

She pinch him making him to jump.

What the! Due to sudden gravity both fell down on the floor. She laid flat on top of him. Their breathe collide passionately and their eyes met. His hand wrapping her belly and she grip his collar for support. He rolled her down pinning her to the floor.

''Unbelievable..'' He can't able to grasp her presence.

''I will go mad..''

''Why everywhere I found you?'' She rolled her eyes and slapped his hand that was trying to touch her face.

''Because you are not dreaming. I'm here right in front of you..''

He went froze.

She was here in London, in his apartment..back in their home. A place where she belongs.

But what is she doing here?

''Ahwww..'' She hissed bringing his trace back to her.

''Get off me..''

''Why..''

''Because you are laying on my stomach. Did you forget I'm carrying your baby?'' She paused and he placed his head on her stomach securely.

''Your son will kill me one day..'' He smiled sensing his movement inside her and look back into her eyes being a proud father and lover.

''He is just like you..Stubborn..''

She averted by his closeness. He realized their position and moved and rose on his feet.

''Khushi tum yaha..'' He was trying to ask her.

''Hey devimaiya hamari sabji..'' (My food)

She rushed up and went to switch off the gas. His mobile rang and he excuses himself to receive his Di call.

''Did khushi reach safely?''

''How you know Di? Wait a second is it you who..?''

''That doesn't important Chotte. All that matters is how you win her heart again. She is still very bitter and tough nut to crack..''

''I know..'' He replied staring her back.

''Thanks di. You have no idea what you have done for me. I owe you for my entire life for giving me my khushi. Its strange though she get convinced so easily. Sometimes I can't understand her mood swing..one time she is all angry lion and other time she behave like my old caring girlfriend..''

''Because she love you chotte and you both meant to be together. You know when she came to know you are missing, she got all scared and took the first flight to reach you..''

''Uska dil sach mein bahat bada hain di. Maine uske saath itna kuch kiya phir bhi uska pyaar aj bhi vaisa ka vaisa hain hain(Her heart is really very big. I messed up her life yet she is trying to gave me one chance..her love is still same) - Pure and deep.

''I know! Now i realized why you love her so much..she is really very different from others..''

''I will love her so much that she will forget all the bitterness and pain of our past. This time we will return back to India as a couple, as Mr and Mrs Raizada. There is so much desperation and determination in his voice to win her love back that swell her heart with happiness.

''Devimaiya please hamare chotte ko uska pyaar dilado..'' (Please make my Chotte happy) She prayed under her breathe.

''Watch it..'' He almost shouted and ran toward her into the kitchen. He brought her hand away from burner. His mobile fell from his hand when he noticed what she was doing and then grabbed her burned hand. To his surprise, she had no strain of tears in her eyes. He remembered the time whenever she was hurt, it become too tough for him to handle her.

''Its okay Arnav I..''

Before she say something more he drag her toward the living area and gesture her to sit quietly in the sofa. She try to follow him but he never allow her to move an inch.

He rushed to the kitchen and brought some ice cubes to apply it over her fingers.

''You don't have to do all this..'' She resisted and he blew some air while applying antiseptic. She winced.

He kissed her fingers one by one bringing a strange type of wave around her.

''Let me go..I need to make dinner..'' She composed herself and immediately take away her hand.

''I will do..You take rest..''

Seriously Arnav! She look at him in disbelief. After staying with him in live in relationship she never saw Arnav Singh Raizada to cook for any girl, not ever for her in this lifetime.

''It is not required to show any stunt. I always cook for you and can do it further..'' She said with finality.

No

Yes

No

Shut up

You shut up

Khushi

Arnav

I said keep your mouth shut!!!!!!!!

''Mumma papa will never change..They always need a chance to fight like tom and jerry. Poor me! Where I got stuck here in between them. I badly wanted to come out and see their lovely dovely romance..'' Baby grinned at his own thought.

''Else what you will do, Mr raizada..''

''I have many ways to shut it up..''

''Like?''

Don't you know..'' With that, he started to close gap between them and lean his finger to touch her lips seductively. She began hyperventilating and close her eyes. This moment brought back the memories of the past of what they shared.

Flashback*

''Don't touch me..you are very bad..very bad..very bad..'' She was wriggling but he was too furious at present, pinned her between the walls and him. The sight of a random man touching her fired him.

''How could you dance with that man..You are mine..samjhi tum!!'' He shouted making her to jump.

''Its was only a dance Arnavji..why you--'' She stopped seeing his glare and sobbed heavily.

Seeing her tears, he recovered himself and took a sharp breathe to calm himself.

''Shh..'' He lean forward and drank her salty droplets one after another. She protested but he is too hard to leave her specially when he can't see tears in her eyes.

''Stop crying baby..'' He raised her chin up and made her to look into his eyes.

''Ap humse bilkul pyaar nahi karte..hame hamesha rulate hain, dadte hain, humse jhagda karte hain hame---'' (You don't love me at all...Always made me cry, scold me, shout at me and..) Her words left half uttered as he kissed her mouth urgently and violently. She made some attempt to say something but he made all her attempts failed by increasing the flavor and pouring her mouth with his repeated French kisses.

''Umm..''

''Stop talking..'' He warned kissing her down her throat.

''Arnavji..I..

''Shut up miss bakbak..'' He grew more passionate and less gentle. After giving this sweet punishment, he spared her but not before giving her one clear warning he will shut her up everytime she evoke his anger.

Her cheeks turn red and she hide her face with palm.

*Flashback end*

Her body stiffened and then he saw her chewing her lips nervously. He was guilty but not for loving her but for making her nervous.

I will not cross my limits until you are ready to accept me wholeheartedly..'' He said under his breathe and inch back giving her space.

~~~

The dinner was silent affair. None of them spoke a word. She couldn't deny but he actually cooked delicious. She licked her fingers enjoying the food. He smiled looking at her antics. She is as childish as before. He feel nice getting glimpse of his khushi.

She get conscious as she caught his eyes and compose herself.

''What next?'' He broke the silence.

''Means''

''You are here so suddenly. It was totally unexpectable. You gave me heart attack..''

''Even I haven't thought I will come here like this. I have taken an oath I will never return this place where I..-

''Where you lost your love..'' He completed without breaking eye contact.

''For di?''

''Not for her. For myself. I tried Arnav. I tried every possible way to forget you but it is not easy to for any girl to get rid of those memories. So I'm ready to face it and start afresh..''

''But don't ever think i had forgiven you..''

Once finished, she got up and headed to put the dishes on sink.

''Khushi..'' She stopped and he came in the kitchen. He look into her eyes before proceeding.

''Will you be my girlfriend again?'' Those words vibrated in her ears.

''I will not hurt you this time..'' She didn't say anything and marched ahead. Arnav continue to stare her and then she stopped and tilted sideways.

''I'm not sure but will try..'' She slowly spoke before dismissing in the bedroom. Her words brought life in him. He never been so happy and aesthetic than he was feeling right now.

~~~

Her heart went heavy as she stepped in the bedroom. At the place where they hold so many happy feelings. 

 Memories of past flushed her. She touched the walls where their photo-frame hanging to it.

How is it Arnav? Asked overly happy khushi standing in a stool while she was hanging their picture.

''What're you doing?'' He was laying in the bed changing the channels but suddenly got up seeing her stunts.

''Come down..'' She was too stubborn to listen him.

''You are so boring..'' She cursed him turning slightly toward him. While doing so she lost her balance and then her leg slipped. But Arnav was too fast to catch her.

She open her eyes and saw ruthless monster in him.

''Dare to open your mouth..'' He pull her aggressively close and hugged her protectively. ''What if something happened to you..'' He kissed her hairs all paniac.

Khushi(Cupping his cheeks): Jabtak ap hamare saath hain hume kuch nahi ho sakhta kyunki hum jate hain hamare Arnavji humpe ek kharoch bhi nahi ane denge..'' (As long as you are beside me nothing will happen to me because i know my Arnavji never leave my hand)

Khushi come back to her senses and touch those tears that was threatening to flow down.

''Why you left my hand when you know I'm nothing without you..''

Her glance then landed at the bed. They shared so many romantic moment out there.

Her trembled hand touched the soft fabric of the pillow and she tucked it near her heart. Her collagen smell always drive him insane. He completed her here and make her feel most special women in his life.

Her body beneath him make him more wild. They both kissed each other wildly rolling up and down as long as they would be no barrier between them. She was loosing herself in him. Her shyness is no longer there. She moan his name as he rock himself. The sound of her wild and sexy voice made him groan. She arch her back as he was moving down.

''What if I left you after this..'' He smirked pouring his seeds and reached the orgasm.

 Flashback end*

She throw the pillow and bedsheet angrily and started to punch it with her free hands. Entire bed is now a mess.

''You okay?'' She flinched by his touch and turned to face him hurtfully. Betrayal started to rise up within her heart making her go all mad.

''You can sleep in guest room if you are not comfortable..''

''I'm fine..please leave me alone'' She lashed out. Arnav was quiet taken aback as she shut the door on his face.

''I know it is very difficult for you to stay at the place that hold so many bitter sweet memories of our love..''

~~~

Next day rolled quickly. Like every other day, khushi made breakfast for him like she used to do in past. She was trying to act normally but her eyes speaking the pain that is still grave.

''You go and get fresh I will handle the kitchen work..''

''Arnav I..'' She was in dilemma. She has no idea how to reciprocate. She was too shy and nervous to spoke about it. Arnav waited for her but there came no response.

''You want anything..''

''No..I mean yes..No..th... nothi...ng..''

''Okay..'' He got up after folding the newspaper and switch his bluetooth.

He stopped for a moment and observed her expression. She was fidgeting with her dupatta and mumbling something.

''Speak up..''

''Its Nothing..''

''I know you..'' He look straight into he eyes.

''Arnav woh actually..I..'' He walk near her and held her gently.

''Khushi we have shared almost everything then why this hesitation. Why you behaving like I'm stranger to you..'' She wave his hand and took a deep breathe before speaking.

''I didn't brought any clothes as I board the flight in rush. I was scared about you whereabouts. Anyhow I wanted to reached to make sure you are safe as I cannot bear anything happen to you. And right now I have no clothes to wear anything inside or outside and most importantly I don't want to wear my old clothes that made me remember everything you had done..'' She said in one go. His mouth open slightly hearing her chattering..

She heaved feeling light after speaking her heart out.

''Oh..'' He managed to say. This girl never fail to surprise him.

''What oh..Now what I wear..'' She frowned.

''Nothing!''

What? She almost pounced at him showing knife to him.

''I mean for now I will arrange some clothes then tomorrow we will leave for shopping.

''Why not now?''

''Because due to terrorist attack most of the roads are closed and it's not safe for us to go out. Is that okay?'' She nodded agreeing finally and rushed inside stamping her foot.

''Crazy women..''

''She loves me yet too stubborn to accept it..'' It was sometimes impossible to understand her. She had always different from others- so different that he fall for her so badly.

~~~

''Where are you idiot..I was trying your number since ages..I wanted to tell you something very important..'' His statement being interrupted by her,

''I'm in London..'' She stammered before speaking not knowing how he will react.

What?????? His mouth open wide.

''With him?''

''Yes..'' He was too astonished to react. For a moment he forgot to tell her for what he was being ringing her.

''You have taken such a big decision without informing me how could you?'' After few argument khushi managed to convinced him.

''I'm glad khushi you decided to give Arnav one chance. Hope this time he will live upon your expectation..''

He thought something for a while and then decided to reveal it once she was back.

''Is everything okay?'' He remain silent for a moment.

Karan? He come out from his deep thought and nodding in a yes.

~~~

Khushi clean the wardrobe and putting old clothes in the wardrobe when something caught her eyes. A small smile creep her lips observing her nightie which was his favorite. Not getting anything,she wore it and come outside.

She strode outside toward her favorite place, a small garden. Cold breeze touch her skin. Everything feel so nice and wonderful. This place always make her feel at home. She closed her eyes after glancing at the dark sky.

Arnav was getting restless. Her sudden absence panicked her. Suddenly his eyes caught her figure sitting outside. He heaved. He turn to leave but suddenly his eyes caught her dress. Slowly and steadily his steps automatically reached her.
