Incandescent Love # 5

 

Arnav " Khushi " called out for her loudly from the room

Khushi came into the room hurriedly " Ji Arnavji! you need something ?"

Arnav " Khushi, you called Aman " tried to keep his voice low

Khushi " Haan. Kiya tha " calmly " Arnavji, you need to rest, Amanji and Jijaji are there in office to handle everything "

Arnav " Where is my laptop Khushi? "

Khushi " I hid it and you are not getting it until you are perfectly fine and healthy "

Arnav " What the " irradiately

Khushi " What what the? " snapped "You have just got home yesterday and you want to do work. You were kidnapped for heaven's sake "

Arnav " But Khushi, I am fine "

Khushi " Fine? Oh, yes, your sugar level was 362. Of course, you are fine " snapped " Now listen to me Laad Governor " pointed her index finger towards Arnav " I forbid you from going to office and do any office related work until I tell you. Samjhe aap "

No one after his mother had ever dared to scold or order him, The Great ASR. And here, Khushi had the audacity to order him and scold him at the same time. Arnav bit back his smile looking at the cute form Khushi portrayed.

Khushi " Hawww! You are smiling. Laad Governor! Am I telling some joke? "

Arnav " No! I am not smiling " turning serious " And Khushi why exactly do you think will I listen to you ? " smirking

Khushi " Because I am your wife, Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada! You have to listen to me, Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada " making Arnav overwhelmed as she associated her name with his for the first time " Dekhiya Arnavji I got you back after so much difficulty " cupping his face in her soft hands " Now I can't lose you " with moist eyes " Hum aap se bohot payar karte ha Arnavji "

Arnav " Me too Khushi. I love you so much " kissing her forehead

Khushi " Promise me you'll not careless about your health "

Armav " I promise I will rest and not strain myself due to work "

Khushi " Now you rest, I'll come " kissing his cheek walked out the room

Arnav Singh Raizada was not used to following orders but here he was silently following his crazy yet cute wife words without any arguments. He laid down on the bed but got up after sometime as this resting business all day was surely not his cup of tea.

Pacing around the room, he walked off to the poolside deciding to tend his plants. Gardening surely wouldn't upset Khushi, he told himself.

As he stepped into poolside, he was pleasantly surprised to see them all in good condition, carefully cut and heeded with water and all the necessities. His garden was blooming as he had left it. He knew that OP or JP could never tend to his garden like that for sure because except him none had interest in gardening. He had created this place with his own hands and looking at the plants it seemed someone had taken care of them with as much as love as he does.

Nani " Chote "

Arnav turned to see Nani " Nani aap "

Nani " Chote, you're thinking na who took care of your garden in your absence? " smiling " Khushi Bitiya ne kiya "

Arnav " Khushi na? " astonished

Nani " Why are you seeing me like this? You know when you were not here she used to be here and talk to your plants " smiling " Chote now I need not to worry about you anymore because Khushi Bitiya is there with you. You are lucky, Chote, you have gotten a girl like Khushi Bitiya who loves you immensely. Don't ever lose her for anything "

Arnav smiled lightly at his Nani's words at the end. She is so right. He's lucky! Lucky for having an angel like Khushi in his life to love him. He cursed himself for hurting his Khushi in the past. Arnav swore to himself in that moment never to hurt his Khushi ever. He will neither hurt her nor let anyone else hurt her. She's his to love, to cherish and to protect.

Arnav " I won't lose Khushi for anything "  with determination

Nani left after spending some time with Arnav.

Khushi entered their room with a glass of kaada. Finding the room empty she was about to call him when she noticed the French door open and she knew he was there. She walked across and there he was tending one of the plants.

Khushi murmured to herself " Can't this man ever rest " taking a deep breath trying not to sound very angry " Arnavji " seeing Arnav turned towards her " I told you to rest "

Arnav " I know Khushi but I was getting very bored laying down so I came here for some fresh air " smiled "And Khushi gardening is not some work right perhaps you know. I don't even think I need to do anything here. See Khushi its all perfect, everything is same as I left it as "

A fond smile appeared on her Khushi's face seeing him genuinely satisfied with his garden. It was dear to him maybe that was the reason in his absence she has taken to it in his absence. She had spent her maximum time here as it always gave her a sense of belongings to him, talking to the plants he tended to with so much love and now seeing him happy about it she was feeling elated.

Khushi " Really Arnavji,you liked it " with enthusiasm

Arnav " Of course Khushi! I loved it and you know what I am thinking of giving OP a pay rise as he has finally learnt to tend to my garden "

Khushi was holding on Arnav's arm with her fingers entwined with his. He was looking deep into her eyes, listening attentively to something she said and then smiled, nodding. They were still holding their hands together when Arnav seated lounged himself on the chair. Khushi headed to kitchen to bring his breakfast only to realize her hand was still entwined in his. She inclined her head pointing at the joined hand, imploring him to let her go. His eyes twinkled, blatantly refused by shrugging his shoulders. She glared at him mockingly, pretending to be angry, slapped his shoulder softly only to have him kissed her knuckles before letting her go. She blushed and hurried to kitchen. Seeing this Nani, Mama, Payal and NK were genially happy while Akash and Mami busy in cursing Khushi in their mind for ruining their beloved Anjali's life. 

Arnav not finding Anjali in breakfast table " Di? "

Manoroma " Hello Hi Bye Bye! Arnav Bitwa you notiz Anjali Bitiya iz not here " with sarcasm " I thought thez dayz now you can only seez Phati sari "

Nani glaring " MANOROMA " smiling at Arnav " Anjali Bitiya had her breakfast in her room and now resting " seeing Arnav not satisfied with the answer " After breakfast you go on to check her "

Arnav nodding " Ji Nani "

Khushi and Payal started taking everything to the dining table. Arnav just watched Khushi laying the table. Khushi could not help but blush feeling his intense gaze on her. 

Arnav " khushi come " holding Khushi's hand

Mamorama " Ha ha Khilao Phati sari ko Arnav Bitwa " taunting " What black magic dis phati sari did on our Arnav Bitwa.... "

Nani " Enough Manorma "

Mami " Sasuma! Can't you seez dis Phati sari iz doing black magic on Arnav Bitwa. Diz Phati Sari has been turning him against us...! "

Arnav " Not even another word, Mami. You may call anybody else with any name, but I won't tolerate it! " taunting at Akash who lets her call Payal as Khoon Bari Tang " Like before many times I'm telling you her name is Khushi. Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada. And this is the name you shall call her by! " sternly " If not then you can leave this house " shouting " HP... HP.... get mine and Khushi's breakfast in our room " left from there furiously dragging Khushi along with him

Mami " Dekha Sasuma, how dis pha...Humra matlab how dis Khusi kese Arnav bitwa ko humari against kar rahi hai...I feel yeh lardki toh humra house break karke rahegi phele Arnav bitwa saath elope hoke shaadi phir ruin Anjali Bitiaz life n now turning against us. Hello hi bye bye! "

Nani " Enough Manoroma " glaring " Stop blaming Khushi Bitiya "

Mami " Par Sasuma "

Mama " Mano...You really shouldn't have behaved like this " sighing " Arnav Bitwa is very much protective about Khushi Bitiya. So don't say these things. He won't tolerate anyone disrespecting his wife like others " giving disappointment look to Akash

Meanwhile Arnav fusing in anger in their room while Khushi trying to calm him.

Arnav " How dare Mami? How dare she insult you, Khushi ? "

Khushi " Arnavji please...calm down. Mamiji bas sad about what happening with Di "

Arnav frustratingly " So what? She may be sad about Di but she can't all blaming and insulting you. You may be able to tolerate it but I can't, and I won't "pulling Khushi in by the waist " You're my life Khushi. If anyone misbehaves with my life, then they'll have me to answer to " 

Khushi cupped Arnav's face with one palm and the other once was holding his shoulder to balance herself " It's okay na, you just calm down for me Arnavji " with pleading eyes 

Arnav melted seeing her cute doe like eyes. He bent down his head and took her soft lips into his. His hand was caressing her waist while her hand went to his hair to pull him close to her. He was kissing her slowly yet passionately. They broke the kiss due to lack of air.

Khushi " Now let's have our breakfast "

Making Arnav sit on the recliner, she sat beside him and started feeding him his special breakfast made by her while feeding herself.

After breakfast Arnav went to Anjali's room. He shied seeing Anjali sleeping. Not wanting to disturb her sleep, he silently left.

Arnav entered his room and went ahead to pick up his laptop from his usual place but it wasn't there. He searched the whole room but he couldn't find it. He took hold of the cordless phone lying on the bedside table. He dialed his right hand Aman's number and on the third ring his call answered.

Arnav " Aman its me ASR " 

Aman " ASR welcome back! Hope everything is fine " happily

Arnav " Yes, Aman everything is fine. Now listen to me carefully " sternly " First order two IPhones for Khushi and me along with our registered sims; and order one IPad and MackBook for Khushi. Second Aman, I want you to block all Di's and Shyam Manohar Jha's bank accounts & cards, and also stop transferring money into those accounts. Third do a background check on  Shyam Manohar Jha and take over all his property, assets and bank accounts. I want his every thing. And four keep an eye on Shyam Manohar Jha. Keep me updated with his every second activity "

Aman " Okay done " obediently " Anything else ASR "

Arnav " Now shoot with all the happenings in AR since the day I absent "

Aman " ASR I'm sorry but I couldn't do that "

Arnav " What the hell do you mean you can't do that! I need to know what all has taken place in AR when I was away if there were any issues that required to be taken care off "

Aman " ASR there wasn't any issue everything is running smoothly in AR and except that I can't give you any more details. And these are the orders from Khushi Bhabi not to disturb you until and unless she calls me to inform your returning to work " calmingly

Arnav " What the! " exclaimed not quite believing Khushi gone ahead ordering Aman

Aman " Yes ASR and as a dutiful employee I have to abide by Mrs. ASR's order. Take care ASR " cut the call not wanting to burnt with the famous ASR anger

 

Incandescent Love # 3

 

Sun was sneaking in its first rays through the cracks between the curtains on the poolside. Khushi found herself in the most peaceful slumber she had ever had. She lazily opened her eyes to see the face that was the reason of her living. His eyes were closed, his face relaxed and his lips slightly parted. He looked so cute and innocent. She loved this man.

Khushi brushed off the hairs from his forehead "Sote,hue aap bilkul bhi Laad Governor nahi lagtey " pressed a feather light kiss on forehead

After so many days she felt relax. There was an air of ease and a sense of comfort engulfing her and she was finally able to breathe, feeling complete after what seems like ages. Untangling herself carefully from his arms without disturbing his sleep she got out of the bed. She tiptoed across the room careful not to make any noise to disturb his sleep, she pulled over the curtains and taking all her necessities she entered bathroom to get ready for the day.

When she came out after bathing and dressing Arnav was still sleeping. She went to the mirror, untied the towel and began to dry her hair. She ran the brush through her hair and left her hair open. She straightened her mangalsutra and applied sindoor in her maang happily thinking she belongs to Arnav now and forever. She put a bindi and wore light pink lip-gloss. Glancing over his sleeping form one more time she shut the door quietly and moved downstairs.

Couple of hours later Arnav opened his eyes feeling relaxed and charged up. He saw the empty side on bed beside him. He wondered where is she? In a cue he heard her tinkling anklet and clinking bangles. He saw her entering the room with coffee tray in hand.

Khushi " Arey you are awake! Good I was coming with your black coffee to wake you up " keeping the coffee tray on coffee table " Good morning Arnavji and please now freshen up before coffee gets cold "

Arnav " Good morning to you too. I will come in a min "

He got out of the bed and went to bathroom. Khushi started tiding their room while Arnav came out and sat in his recliner taking his coffee.

Arnav keeping the empty coffee cup " I'll just take my shower and get ready after which we can go down for breakfast together "

Khushi " Okay "

Anjali was sitting on bed caressing Shyam's photo while tears rolling down her eyes. She heard her mobile ringing. She took her mobile to decline the call but accepted seeing the caller id.

Anjali " Hello Shyamji " with brimming emotions

Shyam " How are you, Rani Sahiba? How is our Rajkumari? "

Anjali " We're good Shyamji. Rajkumari is just missing her Papa " smiled through tears " How are you? "

Shyam " How can I be without you, Rani Sahiba? " with pained voice " Trust me, Rani Sahiba, I did not kidnap Saale Sahab. I don't know why Khushiji thinks I kidnapped Saale Sahab? " with croaked voice " Trust me Rani Sahiba I didn't kidnap Saale Sahab. I can never do that knowing your life reside in Saale Sahab "

Anjali " I trust you, Shyamji! I know you can never do such heinous act " making Shyam breathe in relief

Shyam " I'm happy you trust me Rani Sahiba " happily " But "But others don't trust me " added sadly

Anjali " Don't worry, Shyamji. I will talk to Chote. He is just under Khushiji's spell. I will make Chote understand he misunderstanding you. Once he sees how much me and our Rajkumari need you, he will understand and bring you back. I know my Chote, Shyamji " trying to get rid of Shyam's worries.

Shyam " Hmm! " smiled evilly knowing Arnav just literally a puppet in Anjali's hand " Rani Sahiba now I'm away from you. You have to take care yourself and our Rajkumari. Pleae you eat your food at regular intervals and medicine for our Rajkumari " sweetly

Anjali " Shyamji you also take care yourself " sniffing " Please eat something. I know you unable to eat anything after what happened here "

Shyam " Rani Sahiba! I'm not hungry "

Anjali " Aapko humari aur Rajkumari kasam hain, Shyamji. Please! "

Shyam " Okay, Rani Sahiba, I'll try you and our Rajkumari " sighed " For now Rani Sahiba have your breakfast and your iron tablet "

Anjali " Ji "

Shyam " Take care, Rani Sahiba! " with sinister smirk

Anjali " You too "

Call got disconnected. Tears rolled down her cheeks looking at her mobile. She looked up from her mobile towards the door hearing the door opened. She saw Nani.

Nani sat opposite Anjali taking Anjali's palms in hers " Anjali Bitiya, I understand you must be hurt with Shyam's treachery. We all 're hurt with his betrayal. I know you need time to accept all of this but that doesn't mean you can ignore your health. Bitiya, now you're not alone. You now have a little life growing inside you. You have to think about your Rajkumari before yourself " calmly

Anjali " Do you really think Shyamji betrayed us? Do you really think Shyamji can do such heinous act like kidnapping Chote , Nani? " in low voice " Is it so easy to lose the trust over your Damadji, Nani? " with tears filled eyes

Nani " Anjali Bitiya! Chote wouldn't have thrown Shyam out of this house if he had a doubt over him. He did it because he was sure about Shyam's treachery. We all know Chote always taken correct decisions for our family and no, we don't need proofs to know how right he is " sternly " I'll send your breakfast in your room, Bitiya " walked out

A sob left Anjali's mouth thinking how Nani also like Arnav misunderstood her Shyamji under Khushi's influence.
