20. Memories!
"Khushi... Where are you lost?" Arnav asked coming out of the airport holding his girl possessively close to him
"This... Place. It's so familiar..." Khushi whispered
"Oh... That's why you're lost. We've been here, A few times. They say it's a great place to get inspiration writing romances. And being a worldwide bestseller romance writer that you are... Paris is like your second home" Arnav said
"And... You were here for your honeymoon" Anjali supplied
"You were listening in Di... Bad manners!!" Arnav chided lightly
Anjali smiled sheepishly
"Come on people... If you're done with your chats, Let's please go home, We're all badly... Very badly jet-lagged" Akash said tiredly
"Okay... Let's go baba." Arnav said walking towards the car
There cars halted at a beautiful white villa
All eyes except one admired the beautiful place to their hearts' content before their trances broke and they headed in
But Khushi stayed back
"What happened?" Arnav asked coming to her side seeing her in a trance
Khushi smiled lightly before caressing the sign outside the beautiful villa
Arshi Mansion
"Arshi?"
"Arnav... And Khushi. A complete names from two halves" Arnav said
"Arshi... Arnav and Khushi. A complete name from two halves. If we have a daughter Arnavji, We'll name her Arshi" Khushi said with a small smile
"A part of us both" Arnav said
"A part of us both" Khushi said closing her eyes in unbound unexplained pleasure
Arnav smiled
"Let's go in, You must be tired" Arnav said softly pushing her forward
"Arnav ji" Khushi called
"Hmm?"
"How many years... Have we been married for?" She asked
"Five" Arnav answered
They walked into the living room but found no one except Anjali standing there
"Where's everyone?" Arnav asked
"Off to their rooms, They must have hit the beds by now"
"No one-"
"Dared to take your room, Don't worry" Anjali assured
"Go Di, You're looking tired too. Rest" Arnav said
"I'll just go after arranging your peoples' food" Anjali said
"Di..."
"Don't worry chote, I'll manage. I'm fine. You go" Anjali said
"Bonjour Monsieur, Bonjour Madame (Good Morning Sir Madam)" Greeted a blonde girl in her mid twenties.
She was working for Arnav as the caretaker of their properties in Paris. Along with pursuing her education
"Bonjour Millie. Comment allez-vous?" (Good Morning Millie. How are you?) Arnav asked
"Je suis bon monsieur (I'm good sir)" Miilie said
"Ça fait longtemps que je t'ai vu pour la darnière fois(It's been long since I last saw you)" Millie said
"Qui, ça fait longtemps (Yeah It's been long)" Arnav agreed
"L'arrangement que vous avez demandé est fait (The arrangement you asked for is done)" Millie said
"Je vous remerci (Thank you)" Arnav thanked
"Allons-nous aller aimer? (Shall we go love?)" Arnav asked softly
"Bien-sur amour (Sure Love)" Khushi said in a trance
"Amour! (Love)" Arnav called
"Bonjour... Arnav..Que regardez-vous comme ça (What are you looking at like that?" Khushi said entering the room looking at her husband sitting on the bed, Admiring her lovingly
"Tu... je te regarde amour (You... I'm looking at you love)
"Okay now that's enough I know you love French " Khushi said
"This is the most beautiful language Khushi... Thanks for making me do this" Arnav said
"You wished to do it Arnav... What are you thanking me for?" Khushi asked
"You were the one who developed my interest though. I have tried just for you Je vous remerci (Thank you)" Arnav said
"De rien(You're welcome)" Khushi said with a bow making arnav smile
"You've... Improved" Khushi said referring to his French
"I had nothing else to do at times... This is how I coped with myself some of the nights. Practicing French. It reminded me of you. Kept me sane" Arnav said
"I just got... Another flash... from the past" She told Arnav
"What is it?" Arnav asked suddenly concerned. What if it were another nightmarish flash??
"All the good things" Khushi assured
"Really... That's good isn't it?" Arnav asked
"Dunno... My head is hurting though" Khushi said in a barely audible whisper
"Sleep for a while..." Arnav said going in the room partly dragging Khushi with him
"THIS ROOM??" Khushi whisper screamed
"Khushi??" Arnav was back to his concerned self again
"Shut Up you bi***" A man growled
Khushi flinched involuntarily
"Khushi... What happened?"
"Why are you doing this to... To me?" Khushi asked scared
"Khushi... Baby you Okay??" Arnav was hell tensed now
A transparent Box full of Brown Ants was led into the room.
"KHUSHI!!" Arnav shook her out of her trance
"Uh... Arnav. This room?" Khushi asked
"This room? This is... This is our room Khushi. Where we had our... First Night. We stayed here in this house for our honeymoon" Arnav said
This successfully diverted her from what she was thinking
"Honeymoon? You bought this place... For our honeymoon?" Khushi asked
"I bought this place after honeymoon. Slight correction there" Arnav said
"You're... Joking right?" Khushi asked
Arnav chuckled at her innocence
"No... I am not" Arnav said
Khushi stared at him open-mouthed
"What are you looking at like that Love? It was our honeymoon room. Don't you like it?" Arnav asked
"I do like it Arnavji... But you bought this place after our honeymoon? Why?" Khushi asked
"This... Is the place where we became one Khushi... This place holds importance in both our lives jaan. And you were so attached to this place... I promised you we'll come back whenever you like. So well here we are" Arnav said
"Arshi Mansion" Khushi whispered
"Our Arshi Mansion" Arnav said holding her in a side hug
Khushi kept her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes in contentment
Arnav stroked her hair lovingly
"You should sleep love" Arnav said
"Hmm"
"I love you" Khushi said keeping her head on his lap
"I love you too" Arnav said stroking her to sleep
Enjoy!!
