Part 53
Khushi was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling while thinking about her talk with Tanvi, and about whatever that had happened at Arnav's office.
Like Tanvi had said, communication was important and she did want to sit down with Arnav and talk about all this but she wasn't even sure on how to start the conversation.
While she was still thinking about how she would start it, her phone rang startling her, she quickly grabbed it and looked at the screen where Arnav's name was flashing.
She inhaled and exhaled and couple times trying to relax and the swiped to receive the call.
"Hello." Khushi said in a really low voice.
"Can we talk please?" Arnav asked immediately, he sounded so nervous and worried, his voice came out all shaky.
"Yeah sure."
"Okay, can I come your place or?"
"Yes you can."
"Great, I'll be there in a while." He said as he disconnected the call immediately, the way she left from his workplace must have really scared him as he sounded so worried over the call, maybe he was scared of losing her again? At least that way she knew that she was important to him.
She stepped out of her bed and headed to wash her face to feel a bit fresh, she had just spent her time lying on the bed and being lazy since she came back from work.
She freshened up and then headed to the hall and settled on the sofa as she turned on the TV and started watching some random show, Tara had gone out with Rohan so Khushi was alone at home, she had no idea when Tara was going to be back.
A few minutes later, the door bell rang, she stood up quickly and rushed to open the door knowing it must be Arnav, and it was, she smiled at him and greeted him with a hug as soon as she opened the door.
They both walked in and sat down on the sofa, Khushi muted the Tv and turned to look at Arnav.
"What did you want to talk about?" She asked.
"Us. I know inviting Lavanya to the office wasn't the right thing to do, and I understand why you are mad at me but I swear Khushi, I had no other intentions, I just wanted to make sure she wasn't punished for my mistakes." He looked at her sadly.
"I know, I get it Arnav... it's just that seeing her, it brought back all those past memories. How you acted with her in front of me, how I found you two on our bed and broke off the marriage... It's too painful."
"I know Khushi and I am so sorry, I promise you wont ever see her again, I promise I'll do everything I can to make those terrible memories go away. I just don't want anything to go wrong, I can't afford losing you again Khushi.
You are so important to me, I really love you and I will always do whatever it takes to keep you happy, I am changed and you know that too, I would never ever hurt you like I did in the past.
I am just trying to make us work here so we can have our happily ever after, so please don't break up with me." He held Khushi's hand into his and pleaded to her, his eyes were so moist he was at the verge of crying.
"I am not breaking up with you Arnav, relax. I was just angry and all those memories just had my mind messed up. Look Arnav, I told you before, it won't be easy, whatever that happened in the past would take really long to heal, of course I trust you but there's still going to be a part of me that will always be scared."
"I know, I will do whatever it takes to take that fear away, I promise. Just don't leave me please."
"I won't Arnav. I gave you this chance because somewhere I believed you won't hurt me like that again, so as long as you don't hurt me, I have no reason to leave. Apart from that we'll always need to put effort into our relationship and make it work right?"
"Right." He nodded, he sat there silently for a moment just staring at her without saying anything until he felt like he could talk again.
"So are we okay now?" He asked.
"Yes we are." She smiled, he smiled back and pulled her into a hug immediately, holding her into his arms just making sure she was here, with him and she wasn't leaving.
"You know if anything ever bothers you, just tell me about it okay, please talk to me so we can sort it out." Arnav said to which Khushi just smiled.
"Why is that making you smile?" He raised his eyebrow.
"Just... every passing day I just realize how different you are than who you were when we were married." She said.
"I know, loving you makes me want to be a better person." He smiled.
"Oh and cheesy too." She giggled.
Arnav pouted as he moved back to where he was seated and turned towards the TV, he grabbed the remote and unmuted it as he continued watching whatever Khushi was watching.
"Do you want to eat something?" Khushi asked.
"Yes please, I'm hungry. Since you left from the office I haven't eaten, I was just so worried that you were going to break up with me." He looked at her sadly.
"You are becoming a drama queen now." She laughed as she stood up so she could go to the kitchen and get him something to eat, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back making her fall on his lap.
"Trying to be romantic already?" She giggled.
"I was just suggesting we order pizza. I feel like eating pizza today." He suggested.
"Sure, I was too lazy to cook today anyway, I've just been lying around since I came back from work." She said.
"I know." Arnav said as he started dialing some number on his phone, Khushi tried to get out of his lap but he just pulled her back and nodded negatively, while he ordered for the pizza.
After he was done with the call, he put the phone aside and stared at Khushi.
"What now, are we going to play this staring game?" She asked.
"I'm just trying to appreciate how beautiful you are." He smirked.
"Stop flirting Arnav." She blushed as she tried to look away.
"And here is my shy Khushi back, I love it when you're shy, you look so cute." He teased her.
"Yeah right." Khushi rolled her eyes as she stood up once again and sat down beside him looking at him strictly.
"No touching." She tried to make a serious face.
"Okay, as you say ma'am" Arnav said as he started watching the tv again, he changed few channels and then stopped at one that was playing some movie, he put the remote aside and concentrated on it while waiting for the pizza.
Khushi moved closer to him as she put her arm around his and leaned on his shoulder, as soon as she did that Arnav smirked so she slapped him playfully on his arm.
"You are the one that said no touching." Arnav laughed.
"Yeah, this is not touching, it's leaning my head on your shoulder."
"You are still holding my arm."
"Okay fine you win." She frowned.
"I'm kidding Khushi, I'm all yours, touch me however and wherever you want to." He winked at her making her blush again.
"You are becoming so dirty nowadays." Khushi blushed.
"I'm just trying to be romantic for you and look you aren't even appreciating it, instead you're calling me dirty."
"Now you're becoming a baby." Khushi laughed.
"See how I'm entertaining you by becoming a different character every now and then, you are so lucky to have me." He smirked.
"Pretty proud of yourself huh."
"No... I'm the lucky one to have you." He smiled genuinely, they both shared a cute eyelock for a moment which was disturbed by the door bell.
"That must be the pizza." Arnav said as he stood up and headed to take the pizza, he opened the door and found the delivery guy out there, he paid him and the brought the pizza inside.
"Yayyy, I'm so hungry I can't wait to eat." Khushi said excitedly.
"I am too, let's eat then." Arnav smiled as they both sat together and started eating, he was just glad that they managed to sort the mess out and be happy together. That's all he wanted.
