38 Spoilt Sleep
Part 38 Spoilt Sleep
Khushi was sitting in the living room with her mother-in-law and brothers-in-law, having tea.
*Khushi bitiya... your dexterity is awesome... be it tea...be it sweets...* Manorama prized Khushi.
*Thank you...* Khushi said, dipping a biscuit in tea. She relished the biscuit with tea.
*Yes, Bhabi... ladies finger fry was damn tasty today...* NK said.
*Palak Paneer also was...* Akash said sipping the tea.
Khushi accepted they're laudatory nodding her head. Her face brightened, seeing Arnav entering RM with his coat on the shoulder.
*Arnav...*
She stood from the couch and rushed to him. Taking the coat from his shoulder, she put it on her shoulder. She was about to take the laptop bag from his hand, and Arnav pulled it back.
*Khushi, relax...*
Extending her hand, Khushi snatched the laptop bag from his hand.
*Tell me...*
Arnav nodded NO and walked towards his room.
*Arnav, shall I bring you coffee?*
*Later...*
*Ok...* she followed him, gesturing to Ratna I WILL JUST COME.
Ratna nodded ok smilingly and admired her Bahu.
*Is not she so brisk?* Manorama asked.
*Mom... even though the girl is lazy she will become brisk if she sees her loved one...* NK said.
Ratna and Manorama spared a glance contently.
*I can't understand one thing... how these girls start loving their husbands in a very short period of their marriage...?* Akash asked.
*Yes, Akash... Khushi Bhabi is a great example of it* NK agreed to it.
.........
Khushi entered their room, following Arnav.
*Why are you doing this?* Arnav asked her, turning towards her.
*What I did do?*
*Taking my coat and bag...*
Cutting him,
*I like doing that...* she kept the laptop bag on the tea table and put the coat on the recliner.
*It's a simple thing... I don't have a problem doing that... in fact, I'm doing that for years...*
*Did I say you have a problem doing that...? I told you... I like doing that... do you have a problem with that?* she questioned.
Arnav rolled his eyes and sat on the recliner. He removed the shoes bending down. Khushi tried to touch his shoes, and Arnav jerked.
*Whaaaat the...kkk... you no need to do that...* he said throwing a strict look at her.
Khushi controlled her laughter pressing her lips.
*I warn you, Khushi... don't you dare do that...*
*Why?*
*It's awkward to see you touching my shoes...*
*But why, Arnav?*
Khushi sat on the bed.
Arnav stared at her and said nothing.
*Ok... I won't do that...* she shrugged her shoulders.
Arnav huffed in relief. He went to the washroom to get fresh. Khushi rushed to the kitchen to bring him coffee.
Ratna and Manorama saw her getting down the stairs speedily.
*Khushi, where are you running?*
*To the Kitchen Amma...* she said while running.
*What do you want?*
*I'm going to prepare coffee for Arnavji...*
She got inside the kitchen.
*She calls him ArnavJI when he is not around...* Akash said frowning.
*Yes... she doesn't want him to remember the past... that's why she is not calling him with JI.*
*Oh... interesting...* Akash said.
She came out of the kitchen with coffee and hurried upstairs again. Their eyes followed her smilingly.
Arnav came out of the washroom and looked here and there but he didn't find Khushi. He rolled his eyes, seeing her entering the room with coffee.
*What's so urgent?* He asked.
She sat on the bed and said nothing.
Arnav drank the coffee, sparing glances at her. He so wanted to know HOW she was going to spoil his sleep. He will get the answer tonight, he thought. He finished the coffee thinking about it.
Arnav expected her to blabber about it just like she did always. But Khushi didn't even talk about it for once which made him more restless. Did she say about it to do something or... she spoke just like that?
After finishing dinner, Arnav headed to the room. Khushi came to the room after some time. Changing the night dress, she lay down on the bed as usual without showing interest to SPOIL HIS SLEEP. Arnav looked at her, dropping his jaw.
Though Khushi didn't spoil his sleep he spoilt his sleep by himself thinking of her words.
The next morning
Khushi came out of the washroom and saw Arnav still sleeping. She stood in front of him and admired him for a while. She turned the opposite side when Arnav moved a little. He sat on the recliner and hissed as his back ached. Khushi turned towards him and folded her hands. Arnav saw her and made up himself.
*Why are you adamant about sleeping on the recliner?*
*I'm alright...*
*Yeah... I have seen how alright you are...*
Arnav stood and went to the washroom, taking a towel.
*I too will sleep on the recliner...*
Arnav entered the washroom smilingly.
Arnav was fed-up that day as Khushi didn't do anything to spoil his sleep. Why did she ask him if she was not interested to do that? He felt annoyed.
*That's why he has not expected anything from anyone... expectation hurts...* he thought and prepared himself not to be with expectation.
Evening
Arnav came from the office. He didn't see anyone in the living room like the previous day. He headed to his room. Khushi came from behind and took the laptop bag from his hand. She saw him wearing the coat, unlike the previous day. Arnav sighed and went to the room. Khushi followed him as usual.
When they entered the room, Arnav removed the coat and put it on the recliner, not giving her a chance to do that. Arnav looked rigid the whole day. He slept quickly as he had no expectations that day.
But, Khushi didn't sleep. She slowly got up and went outside, opening the door without making a noise.
She came in within a few minutes.
Without switching the lights on, she tapped Arnav's cheek. He woke up jerking. He saw candle lights in front of his eyes. He squeezed his eyes. That's when he heard,
*Happy Birthday, Arnav...* he saw Khushi standing, holding a cake in her hands.
Keeping the cake on the tea table, she switched the lights on. Arnav saw a Black Forest Cake with candles, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBBY written on it. She forwarded a knife towards Arnav who was looking at her blankly. So, this is what she mentioned about SPOILING SLEEP? He nodded NO thinking about his THOUGHTS.
*Hello, Arnav... this is your Birthday today... come on, cut the cake...*
was it his birthday? He had almost forgotten the day as he had not celebrated it for the last four years.
Taking his hand, Khushi stuffed the knife and made him cut the cake.
Taking a small piece, she gave it into his hand instead of feeding it to him which was not gone unnoticed by Arnav.
Taking it from her hand, he forwarded it to her mouth. Khushi was awestruck for a second and opened her mouth. He fed her the cake and waited for her to do the same. But Khushi was not intended to do that.
*What cake is this?* he intentionally asked her.
*Black Forest...*
*Ohh...*
*Taste it...* Taking a small piece, she gave it to him.
Clutching her hand, he ate it from her hand, making her stomach churn.
*A good friend should feed his friend...* he hit her back with the same stone...FRIENDSHIP.
*As a good friend... I usually do something too...* she said seriously.
*What?*
Taking a little amount of cake, Khushi applied it to his face. Arnav dropped his jaw as he didn't expect that. Khushi laughed out louder, looking at his face.
*This is what a good friend does...* she said.
Arnav stood and did nothing, seeing her laughing.
Though they got tied up with a sacred thread called friendship the FATE didn't like to see them as friends. So, it decided to play a dirty game to make them realize that they were not friends but purely a couple... Let's see what was fate planning for them...
To be continued...
