"You are also going to leave me Khushi?"

Arnav searched for an answer in her eyes.

What would have Khushi said? Being a mild hearted girl, would she stand against Arnav's vulnerability? No chance at all...

She cupped his face while nodding NO, emotionally. She went on her knees in front of Arnav.

Khushi: I won't leave you Arnavji. I will never leave you because I too love you so much. It's not just because you are my husband. I love you because you loved me while even I didn't love myself. No one loved me like you do. You not only made me special but feel cared... Yes, I worked hard to get your love because your love is so precious for me. I made you feel special because you are indeed special. You are not selfish Arnavji... you wanted to get confirmed that I really deserve your pure love....

She pressed her lips on his forehead.

Khushi: I love you so much Arnavji... I want you... without you, my heart won't beat.

Arnav: Are not you angry with me?

Khushi: For?

Arnav: I examined you a lot...

Khushi: Only week students feared of exams. Smart students take it as an opportunity to develop themselves.

She chuckled.

Arnav cupped her face and pulled her on his chest. He hugged her with a satisfactory smile. Khushi circled his shoulders, leaning on his chest.

Arnav: Khushi I'm sorry... I hurt you...

Khushi: I should also apologize. I too hurt you a lot not knowing your intention of our marriage. I wanted to talk to you about it. Before I'm doing that, everything went upside down. I didn't know, Amma(Ratna) had given her heart to me Arnavji. I would not have behaved rudely If I had known about it.

Arnav: you no need to be sorry. I'm responsible for your rude behavior. Anyone in your place would have behaved so.

Khushi smiled.

Arnav: though you are a small girl you are so matured than your age you know.

Khushi: Small girl? I'm twenty-one... not a small girl.

Arnav: Yeah... but compared to me, you are... Even Aman felt sad about it, at the time of our marriage.

He chuckled.

Khushi: it's common... my mother is ten years younger than my father.

Arnav: I don't know how your mother looked in front of your father. But you are looking like a kid in front of me.

Khushi(dropping her jaw): Kid...? I'm not...

Arnav: you are... no doubt.

Khushi pouted...

Khushi: Let's eat something.

Arnav: I will... First, let me feed you.

Khushi: I'm not a kid. I will eat.

Arnav: You too fed me... doesn't mean I'm a kid.

Taking the bowl, he fed her the mashed rice and dall.

Arnav(while feeding): What's the necessity to eat the poisoned food Khushi?

Khushi: Isn't it idiotic?

Arnav nodded yes shrinking his nose.

She chuckled...

Khushi: Jokes apart... the fact is, my mind stopped working at that time. It happens with me often. It won't work when I need it the most. My poor brain.

Arnav: How do you get to know about it?

Khushi got stuck. She has to tell him the truth now... can't escape.

Khushi: Actually...

She sighed closing her eyes.

Khushi: Arnavji... please don't get angry. I think it will be good if you don't get to know the person.

Arnav: Why?

Khushi: Because you will lose your temper.

Arnav: What do you think? What will I do?

Khushi: You may do anything.

Arnav: I had kept her behind the bars...

Khushi (not understanding): Hann Arnavji... you...

She stopped speaking... what did he say? Behind the bars? Did he do that?

Arnav looked at her intently.

Arnav: Asha is in the prison.

Khushi was shocked... how does he know? Only she and Tina knew about it...

How could she know... he is Arnav Singh Raizada... after all.

Khushi(stammering): Did you keep her in jail?

Arnav: What else I would do?

Khushi: but you might have given her some other punishment....

Arnav: you mean, do you want me to kill her?

Khushi (shocking): No no...

Arnav: I would have killed her if the police hadn't arrested her.

Khushi was horror-struck. It will be better if she doesn't talk about Asha.

In between, Arnav completed feeding.

Khushi: I'm sleepy...

Arnav: Ok... go to sleep.

He left the room to have dinner.

Khushi had been thinking about Tina... she wanted to thank her. She decided to call her the next day. She closed her eyes pretending, when Arnav entered the room.

Thinking that she is sleeping, Arnav took the other side of the bed. Though he didn't want to disturb her he couldn't sleep without hearing her heartbeat.

He slowly got close to Khushi... Not putting weight, he gently kept his ear on her chest. Khushi opened her eyes by the unexpected action. Her heart began to race. Of course, Arnav also sensed the sudden difference. But he didn't think Khushi was still awakening.

Khushi couldn't come to the conclusion of her own mind. This is not the first time; Arnav is lying on her chest. He did that once already. Of course, last time also she felt a kind of nervousness... as that was the first touch of a man. But today... it was something... different... her husband's touch... She loves him and he loves her as well. Then why his touch is creating havoc in her? why her body is getting heavy making her breath heavy? She clutched the bedspread when Arnav caressed his face on her chest softly. Goosebumps was the evidence of the havoc which caused in her body. She pressed her toes together as she felt her legs go weak. She felt like, current is getting down in her body through Arnav's touch. But she didn't get rid of the current even after Arnav got separated from her.

Arnav lied on the pillow and slept in a while. He looked cool. There was no disturbance in him. How could he? Why only she? How he stays too strong? Why not she?

It's because... Last time, her mind was only on the documents... she was not in the sense to think something other than the documents. She stayed calm to get the papers signed. When Arnav told about his mother's heart... she drowned into those thoughts which made her more vulnerable than his touch. So, his touch doesn't make a difference in her heart and body then.

But... now... neither she was not that old Khushi nor her mind and heart. Her focus is only on Arnav and his love. She was so busy to prove herself and her love. In that, she didn't observe how much she was getting into her husband. Her heart is expecting his nearness each and every minute. When it happened, she couldn't stand. Because... Arnav had the capacity to make her weak by heart... by mind... and of course by body...

That's what happening with her... pressing her chest by her palm, she looked at him... in the half moonlight, Arnav's face shined... maybe, for Khushi... as she has started to see everything in a new way... or everything she sees looks different. Her hand extended towards the shining face of her husband. She kept her palm over his face. She felt so good. Getting close to him, she snuggled into his chest and slept.

In the morning, when Arnav opened his eyes, Khushi had been cuddling him. He smiled sleepily. He stayed as he didn't want to take her hands off him. Don't know how many times he kissed her hair, he didn't get satisfied though. He thought something and controlled himself. He slowly flipped her on the bed and removed her hands which were circling his shoulders. Tucking her hair, he admired her for a while. He sighed and got off the bed.
