Chapter 49 B

Anjali greeted the Jhas and taking blessings from Shanti Jha, she sat next to Shyam who was equally thrilled to see her again. The families began discussing their plans to proceed with their wedding.

“Ayushji, I don’t think we need to get them engaged again. Lets just begin the marriage rituals” Shanti suggested.

“I don’t mind. What do you think Arnav?”

“As you say” Arnav nodded. “Khushi can arrange the Priest to check the Mahurat”

Khushi smiled at her husband who assigned her this task so naturally.

“Sure, I will meet the Priest tomorrow” 

“I will accompany you too” Shanti added. “If you don’t mind”

Khushi agreed half-heartedly. Spending time with Anjali’s would-be mother-in-law is not something she had wished for. But something struck in her mind.

“Then we should take Anjali too” Khushi recommended. “That way the Saas-Bahu will get to spend some time with each other”


Anjali stared at Khushi and then at Shanti Jha. She was not very pleased with that idea.

“That sounds great. We will meet the Priest and then have some Coffee together. What do you think Anjali?” Shanti asked.

“My pleasure” she faked a smile and eyed at Khushi who was holding her laugh.

Their discussions continued followed by Dinner. Arnav purposely asked Anjali to show Shyam the recent paintings she had done and though Anjali was very nervous to share this new hobby with him, she still led him upstairs knowing her brother was giving them enough time to be with each other. Whilst Ayush and Shanti kept talking, Khushi finished the rest of the kitchen chores. She was wiping the plates dry when Arnav nuzzled his nose on her shoulder blade, drawing her closer behind. Their bodies touched and when she met his eyes from the side, Arnav was watching her with heavy-lidded gaze as if he wanted to eat her alive.

“Café date with two people you hate? Sounds hot to me” he teased.

She was about to say something but he didn’t let her speak. His hands knead her shoulders then slide down her arms, repeating the same actions. The surge of emotion she felt in that moment was devastating.

“Stop..” she urged as his fingers caressed her waist, inching for the pleats of her Maroon Saree. Arnav’s eyes squeezed shut as he realized he had to stop these ministrations before they end up making love to each other right here. The moment he withdrew his arms from her, Khushi turned around and played with his Shirt.

“Di wants Aarav to sleep with her for the next few days. Are you okay with that?” he asked.

As Anjali was getting married soon and would be leaving this house, she wanted to spend some time with Aarav and that’s why she made such a request to Arnav.

“I have no issues. Aarav loves his Bua and would want the same”

“Great” he kissed her forehead.

They heard the family calling them out. Anjali and Shyam were back down and looked quite happy and comfortable with each other. The Jhas left the mansion hoping to get the earliest marriage date as none of them from the two family were ready to prolong this further.

******************

Spending yet another night in each other’s arms making love, the next day Khushi headed to work after dropping Aarav to school. Aarav had insisted that Anjali should get him ready for school which should have given ample of time for Khushi to dress up for work but her husband didn’t let her do that. He had dragged her to shower with him and then dressed her carefully in the formals he wished to see her in. Khushi had never felt so shy and sexy at the same time for getting so much attention from her husband. Despite already having a seven- year- old son, this was their honeymoon time. None of the two could keep their hands off each other in private. Dropping Aarav to school, she focused back on work at Gupta Office, only to be intruded by her husband’s call late afternoon. Gladly, she was alone in her cabin.

“Hello Darling husband”

“Hey Sweetheart wife” he imitated her tone. “Missing me?”

“Uh huh. That’s why I come to office. To miss you” she mocked. “I have so much work to do. Anyway, I have called the Priest and informed we will be seeing him around 06:00 pm today. Conveyed the same to Anjali and Shanti Jha even.”

“Good. You are always so planned”

Arnav leaned on his chair, thinking about his wife. Planning was not something the earlier Khushi Gupta followed. She used to take decisions for her and others on the spot.

“The word planning reminds me of something else too” she bit her lip. “Last evening Aarav was again asking me when we will give him a baby sister”

Arnav was blank on the other end for few seconds.

“Hey..” Khushi muttered. “I am not talking to a dead line, am I?”

“I am listening”

His tone reminded her Arnav’s reactions last time they spoke about this.

“I see you are not very eager to expand our family yet” she teased.

“Not ready to share you yet with more people” he answered sternly. “And definitely not burden you with one more baby so soon”

Khushi sighed in disbelief.

“I don’t think that way. Though I do recall all the memories of my first pregnancy, I still think my second one will be different. It will be more consenting and mutual from both sides. Can’t wait to bother you again with my mood swings”

“None of the pregnancies are same” Arnav mumbled. He seemed interested now unlike before.

“I know”

She imagined herself pregnant again with both Arnav and Aarav beside her, looking after her.

“Lets take few more months to decide this” Arnav suggested. “It’s too soon. Call me selfish but I want you all for myself again, in every way, before expanding our little family”

“I want the same” Khushi gasped. “And now.. please let me work. I will see you after meeting the Priest and my Café date with Anjali and her mother-in-law”

“Tell me how it went” he chuckled. “Don’t trouble them much”

“Advise them the same. I am in no mood of fights and arguments neither any sentimental talks. By the way, I was thinking Shyam and Anjali need to go out too. Please buy them some movie tickets or reserve a table for them to dine tomorrow”

“Sounds good to me” Arnav agreed. “Di will be free by evening after work”

“I will call Shyam to check his schedule” Khushi stated. “I know he will be happy to make some time for Anjali”

Giving each other the tasks to check Anjali and Shyam’s schedule, the hung up.

*******************

Anjali picked Khushi from Gupta Office first and drove to the temple to speak to the Priest. Shanti Jha was already present there. They spoke to the Priest who checked the auspicious date for the wedding. Anjali was anxious and Shanti Jha had the same happiness on her face when she learnt the best date would be in 10 days. Though it was quite a short period to arrange everything, Khushi promised to handle it all from the Raizada side. Shanti informed the same to Ayush Singh Raizada on call whereas Anjali and Khushi dropped messages to their respective partners. After that they left for the nearby Café and spent some time there, discussing their plans to make this wedding happen in 10 days. Whilst they were busy discussing, Khushi kept getting chain of messages from her husband, none of which she ignored at that moment. He was getting way too romantic these days, reminding her of all those moments they spent on bed together, making love.

Whilst Shanti Jha head to the washroom, Anjali turned to Khushi who finished sending a quick reply to Arnav.

“You love him now, don’t you?” Anjali asked with a satisfied smile.

Khushi placed her phone back over the table.

“He loves me more” I debate. “Whenever I think we are equal in loving each other, he does something totally out of the world proving he loves me more”

Khushi didn’t know why she was sharing this with Anjali but she didn’t think much of the past they shared. She was moving on and so was Anjali.

“Chotte has always been the giving one. He never fails anybody he loves. I always wanted him to have a wife, loving and caring just like him. That’s why when Dad proposed your marriage proposal to Chotte, I was the first one against it. Now when I think of those days, I just cannot believe we all have come so far”

Shanti Jha joined them again.

“Rightly said Anju..” she stated sitting back on her chair. “We all have come a long way and it’s a good change in all of us. So, cheers to that”

She raised her coffee mug, baffling the other two who repeated her actions and cheered. This date wasn’t really bad, Khushi thought as she sipped her Cappuccino. Another message beeped on her phone which she checked in no time.

“We have a party to attend tonight. Only couples. At the Grand Hotel. I have booked a room for us for the night there. Hope you won’t mind”

Khushi texted him back holding her blush.

“Stop giving me further details. I can’t think when you do that”

“Then don’t think. See you tonight sweetheart. Aman will pick you for me and get you at the party. I will come there directly from work”

“As you say Husband. Let’s make this night count”

“I intend to”


Khushi shut her phone again and joined the conversation of Shanti Jha and Anjali. It was so hard to satiate her husband and the feeling was mutual. After so many years she finally had that man who had filled her body, heart and mind with life.
