Chapter 4
Arnav-khushi mujhe pata hai k u are here for exactly one month now..but till then,ur still my wife,my responsibility'.u get that?better get it..
Khushi could feel the pain in his words, which was in his heart..
She her self dint want to be the cause of arnav's pain nor did she want to be a hindrance in arnav's bright future'she knew somewhere that he loved her'but what if he comes to know the reason behind her this attitude???
Would he tolerate her for even this one month??she was scared just by the thought of arnav knowing bout the truth,bout her hidden secret'bout her pregnancy'.would he accept her after knowing she was pregnant,carring his child in her belly???
The thought of arnav not believing the baby in her belly to be his,itself haunted her'hw can he trust her,if he thinks she is the reason for her sister's condition'.even if arnav apologized her that night, still, it would not turn away what he said'.

Arnav guided khushi,still holding her hand,to the chair on the dining table'
She dint notice thay were still holding hands'
Arnav-khushi, u said u had aome medicine in the morning'now u better eat something'.u should not stay empty stomach after eating any medicine'.
Said arnav calmly'.yes,he did car e for her'..he loved her,a lot,but Khushi nodded in denial..
Khushi-nahi arnavji,am not feeling like having anything..if I have anything,I will vomit it out'..
Arnav settled himself on the chair besides her'with their hands still entangled..
With his other hand he took the cut fruits in a fork,and led the fork to her mouth'
She made a face,but he looked firm to put the fork down'.
Arnav-(dominatingly)khushi,eat it,NOW'.
She opened her mouth wide and her he made her eat some banana and apple pieces'.
He than took a small piece of papaya and khushi's eyes flew wide open thinking what excuse to make..
Arnav was surprised to hear her next words'
Khushi-arnav ji,humne ne bahut khaliya'..par aapne toh kuch khaya he nayi'
Laiye,ab hum aapko khilate hai'.(I am full now,but u dint eat anything,come,I will feed u now')
Khushi herself was unaware when these words slipped her mouth'.
Khushi and arnav had an eyelock andd khushi led her hands to the plate when she realized that her both hands were holding arnav's left hand'
Khushi got embaressed ,but arnav was seeing a ray of hope, may be khushi's mind is changing,may be this time in his favour'.
If all this was for real,he wanted the moment to freeze '.
Khushi took a piece of papaya and fed him'.
She was feeling very emotional''
Yes,she loved him,doing chores for him,feeding him loving him,wait,she cannot think all this,she is leaving him in a month time'.
Arnav was all time looking at her,and he could easily find out her love fr him in her eyes,in her actions,in her every move, in her care and concern'..but at the very next moment,some lines of tension and pain covering her face..
Her changed behaviour,her unbelievably changing moods'her habits'.all was lately confusing him'..
His heart was notifying him,that his khushi was surely hiding something from him'
Khushi fed him the last piece of fruits and handed him a milk glass'
While handling him the milk glass their fingers brushed each other and they both became conscious at once'. She looked at him in the eye'.as if she is seeing him for the last time'she still had ne months time to spend with him she thought'.in this one one,she will live her lifetime with him she thought'
more than conscious,she looked in fear he thought'.
He held the glass in one hand and turned to khushi and cupped her face in one hand '
Arnav-khushi,are u ok??u seem different these days'plz tell me if I can do anything'.
His concern was surely dint go unnoticed by her now teary eyes'..
He was about to ask her more,if she was okay,was anything scaring her,when his phone beeped and he clicked the Bluetooth on his ear and stood up keeping the milk glass back on the table'.
She quickly moved her hands before she was late and Arnav saw her tears'.she took the empty plates from the dining hall and moved to the kitchen'..

Kitchen
Khushi-HPji,hm yeh plates yaha pe rakh rahe hai'hum kahi bahar ja rahe hai'.aap dopahar ke khane ka dekh lena'thik hai'(am keeping these plates here,u plz see the lunch arrangements'am going somewhere..)
HP-thik hai bhabhiji'hum sambhalenge..(oh k bhabhiji,I will handle')
Khushi-dhanyawad..hum jaldi laut aayenge'.(thnks,I will return soon')
She exchanged her sweet smile with HP and moved to her room to get changed'
Arnav-(on phone)yeah aman, yaeh.hmmm..
He was pacing from here to there in the drawing room..
Ok k'.u handle everything till I come come''u know this is an important deal for us'.i completely trust u Aman'.yah'.thanks' I will be reaching there in half an hours'yeah'
Bye..
Arnav disconnected the call and went to his room to take his laptop bag'.
He entered the room and saw khushi'the sight which he saw confused'
Khushi was thre looking in the mirror and her hands on her stmach,as if she is caressing her belly'.her eyes watching the reflection of her stomach in the mirror and a small faded spark was in her eyes'..a not so bright smile playing on her lips'.
Arnav-what the----
Khushi realized her moment of loneliness was broken and arnav had entered their room'she quickly turned around and moved to her closet'
She removed a handkerchief and and moved towards her husband'
Khushi-yeh lijeye'.(here u go.)'.dariye mat'humne isspe apne lipstick ke nishan nahi lagaye hai'.
Arnav-no,aaa.mmm '.. that's okay'
Said arnav in his hushky voice which would make us all die!!!
She continued smiling'.
She said that and moved to the bed and arnav kept the handkerchief in his pocket after looking at it once'.
She got his laptop and handed him'.
He was looking at her all confused'why was she doing all this for him all of a sudden???
Khushi-aap yehi lene aaye the na??(u came to take this only na??)
She asked him with a question mark on her face'.
Arnak who was looking at her with blank expressions nodded a yes '.
Arnav-aammm 'ya'.
Khushi gave a smile and then again moved to her closet and opened it'she was looking at him from the corner of her eyes if he was gone or still here'.
Arnav-khushi??
Khushi turned around to face him''
Khushi-hmm??
Arnav-(asked with a confusd expression..)khushi when I entered the room---at that time-----what were u doin??
Arnav asked after a little stammering and pondering bout what answer he would get'
Khushi's eyes flew wide open...
Khushi0(to herself)hey DM,aaj yeh sab kya ho raha hai hamare saath,kahin yeh aapka sanket toh nahi hai na,ke hame arnavji ko batadena chahiye ke hum----nahi nahi khushi,aisa mat soch'.(hey DM,what is all happening today.??are u telling me in one way,that I should tell arnavji that I am ----no khushi,think straight'.)
Khushi-wo ---hum---wo hum----hame gas hai na toh iss liye hum----
She blurted out without thinking what she was saying'.
Arnav-what the--'..oh k'.u take rest' '
Khushi made her fomous "O" face and looked at arnav..
Khushi-ab iss mei bi what the---.iss mei hamari kya galti hai???(here also what the----,why???i am not at fault here'.)
She said the last line pouting her lips'
Oohh!!!he so wanted to capture her lips when she did that!!!!he jerked his gutter mind and moved to his closet and khushi moved back from where she was standing to make way for him'.
He took out his coat and and continued his small talk before leaning'.
Arnav-I am going to AR,today is an important meet for me'.i guess I will take a while to come back hme'u eat and go to sleep'do not wait for me..ok???
He wore his coat side by side talking to the beauty'watching her from the dressing table mirror while closing his coat buttons'..
He turned around and saw her for the last time before moving out''
Arnav-u okay na??
His concern made her come back on earth from her fake smiling session'
She nodded with a simple smile and he sighed in relief and left for his office'.
Least he knew that after he left his wife had cried her heart out'..
She her self was getting frustrated by her confused mind,which was forcing her hiding a truth from the one person who had the full right and need to know,that his wife was 3 months pregnant now'.onlly she knew how much she her heart wanted to tell him,but she remembered that taking decisions by heart had always placed her in wrong position'.
She gulped hard and wiped her tears'and moved to the closet to get changed'.she had to leave for her monthly checkup at Baby Care Clinic..
