Khushi was stirring the batter to remove all the lumps while arnav sat on the kitchen slab and admired her, looking at her lovingly.
She was so engrossed in making jalebi's that she did not realize a pair of eyes scanning her every curve top to bottom with his passionate eyes.
When she was almost done with her batter, pushed her locks behind her ears and turned towards the counter to take the sugar free tablets, she saw his husband boring his eyes on her.
She immediately stiffen and straightened herself. Feeling numerous butterflies in her stomach she tried to gulp some which felt as if coming towards her throat.
She was so nervous that she couldnot even dare to look at him after that.
Looking at her bewailed state he smirked and got down from the counter in one go and leaned on the counter crossing his hands without breaking his eye contact with her.
She cleared her throat and walked towards him and stood right in front of him.
He raised his eyebrows and searched in her eyes. "ya?" he said in a husky tone.
"Erm! The''''''''''..sugar''''''''''.tab'let" she fumbled.
He turned his head to see the tablet pack lying just behind him.
"go ahead and take it".
"aaap'.erm thoda hatiye". (please move)
He shifted about quarter inch or so.
She raised her lashes and then again looked down'."thoda aur" a little bit more.
He slid his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him and said in his husky tone "kya?" (what)
The way he said kya was enough for her to make her legs like a jelly.
He thought of not torturing her anymore atleast on this day, their whole life is left to do what he wants and how he wants but not today. It was her day and she has every right to do the way she wished.
He put his hand at the back and got the container and gave it to her.
She was a liitle shocked though. Was not expecting him to leave her so easily but she quickly took it and resumed her cooking.
**
After the jalebi's were done she served it on the plate and washed her hands.
"erm! Its done".
Arnav clapped his hand and said "Ok! So its sweet time now wify".
"Wify? Did he call her wify just now?" she felt happy for the new name given by him at the same time felt sad that it was only for four more months
He quickly came towards her and pecked her cheeks then turned her around and picked up a jalebi and stuffed in her mouth.
Khushi grabbed his hand and took a bite. Munching down slowly she felt her hands stuck in the middle not wanting to feed him. she remember his birthday where he threw the full plate on the floor in rage and blurted out the truth of Musky.
She felt a warm tear accumulating she quickly turned the other side and was about to wipe it when he held her hand and turned her towards him once again.
He came close to her and wipe her tears with his thumb. "mujhe nahi khilayogi?" (wont you feed me?"
She kept the jalebi piece on the plate and said "you really don't have to do this for me" she looked at him directly now.
He came more close almost touching her, "I said its not about me or you anymore khushi, its WE".
He held her hand and made her pick up the same piece which she kept on the plate and advanced towards his mouth.
Khushi nervously looked at him and the jalebi steering glances on both time to time.
She tried to pull back again but it was a little late. He took the jalebi piece from her hand and munched.
There was silence for few minutes. She was looking at him, he was looking at her, so many unsaid emotions rushing down their spine. The atmosphere getting heated up due to the tension, the anxiety. Neither he was telling anything nor she had the strength to ask him.
She just could not take it anymore and turned the other side. She felt his warm arms tickling her belly and his breath kissing her ears.
"Di, ki yaad diladi khushi".
She immediately turned towards him and hugged him the way she used to hug him. with all her love, with all her affection, with all her force, pressing her against him totally, not sparing a single inch of space between them.
While hugging him she saw his teary eyes and just control her emotions anymore.
He hugged her back squeezing her in his arms feeling as if half of his burden got drained in that hug. His khushi hugged him. just like the way he loves forgetting every damn thing he has done with her. Forgetting every damn "chot" wound he has given her.
Silently taking away his pain in that hug there she was his khushi, only his khushi.
In no time he picked her up in his arms and walked towards their room.
Tucking her along with him in the comforter he kissed her forehead and made her smuggle him up against his chest and helped her to sleep peacefully in his warmth.
Khushi clutched his shirt and slept.
**
Next day morning she was pleasantly surprised by tiny little hands creeping down her cheeks. She woke up and saw her little angel on her bed right beside her, wishing her mumma with her cute wet kisses.
She quickly smuggled with her and took her inside the quilt and kissed her thoroughly.
Rubbing her nose on her tummy, Khushi made musky giggle and feast her hair.
"maah!" she called out.
"Happy Birthday mumma!" she heard him.
Uncovering her face from the duvet she saw him. Her heart did some back flips seeing him in her gifted –shirt which fitted him perfectly. She know his colour very well. White never look so sexy in any man before him. She just could stop herself from drooling over her husband.
He wiggled his eyebrows bringing his trade mark smirk on his face gesturing her as if asking how was he looking. In return she just gave him an amused look.
"dhan tan tan! Happy birthday my bhabi darling". Khushi almost chocked hearing bhabi from Misha's mouth.
She placed the breakfast try on the bed and fed her kheer.
"I know you did not brush Khushi! But aaj ka din chalta hai" (but today you can ignore all these you know?)
Khushi took a little portion of kheer in her finger and fed Musky first. She happily licked her finger and widened her eye slurping some air and making an amused noise holding khushi's finger.
Khushi picked some more kheer and fed her once again.
Arnav felt overwhelmed to see the mother daughter bonding yet again in front of his eyes. How his entire family missed her angel in last two months. It was miserable not only for him but also for that little baby.
How cruel he was to separate these two people from each other. How dare he did that?
But today seeing musky respond to her was a sight, which he can never forget in his life.
"Baby is enjoying the kheer? Hai na?" Khushi spoke to her in a baby tone to which she sucked some air and bounced her spongy butts on khushi's lap, dipping khushi's finger inside the bowl and then sucking it.
"Apni mamma ke paas hai to khush to hogi hi na?" (she is with her mumma, she will be happy only) misha said.
Kushi looked at misha and gave her a genuine smile.
She looked at Arnav who was standing near the door, holding acer in his hand said "Thank you, thank you so much for this surprise". She looked back to musky and kissed her. Musky looked at Khushi and gave her a wide smile "Maah!" she called out.
"My baby" Khushi said before embracing her.

Arnav, Khushi, Misha and Gul met rohan outside their apartment. Misha introduced Khushi to rohan. Then they all started for shopping.
After their exhausting shopping finally Khushi and Arnav was back to their apartment to change their dress and dress up for the dinner, which was a treat by misha and rohan.
Khushi wore her bottle green saree which was gifted by Arnav today on her birthday and Arnav wore his three piece black suit.
Arranging the pallu she was doing her final touch up when Arnav came and pecked her cheeks. Khushi flushed a little and then turned towards him.
Arnav saw her a little pale face and asked "What happened Khushi? Aren't you well?"
Khushi wanted to tell him about her chums which has started few minutes back, but she did not want to spoil misha's invitation. She decided to keep quite.
"Nothing! Just a little tired" she said while fixing her ear tubs.
Arnav became a little suspicious and asked again "are you sure?"
"hmm!" she nodded.
"Ok lets go then" he held her waist the both of them walked out of their apartment.
"They were waiting for the lift to arriave when they heard some neibours gossiping about them".
Khushi felt him going stiff in anger and quickly held his hand and looked at him.
Feeling her arms on his hand he looked back to Khushi, who was looking at him.
He gave her a smile and suppressed his anger.
**
The moment Khushi stepped inside the pub the light went off. She quickly held arnav's hand as tightly as possible.
In no time she was picked up by him in his arms and the spot light started following the stunning couple while the most romantic number started playing from the moive 1920 Evil Returns.
Aankhon ne aankhon se kahi daastaan
Tumko banake raazdaan
Baahon me jannat aa gayi khushnumaa
Tum jo huye ho mehrbaan.
The whole hall started applauding for them while he carried his princess towards the stage and steadied her on the floor.
Jism se jism ka yun taaruf huaa
Ho gaye hum sanam rooh tak aashna
He slid his arms around her waist and digged his nails on her skin sending her goose bumps. And then twirling her around and dropping her on the floor holding her by her nape.
Ek zara jo chale do kadam saath me
Mill gaya hai hume zindagi ka pata
He stepped towards her and held her hand. Kissing her knuckles he tucked her locks behind her ears and kissed her cheeks. The crowd went gaga over the hot couple sizzling the dance floor with their charm.
Jaanu na main tujhme mera hissa hai kya
Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu laga
They swayed in sync with each other totally lost in their own little world. Khushi turned towards him and touched his stubbles and closed her eyes preparing herself to be kissed by her husband.
