Epilogue
After one and a half years
Arnav was losing his patience as Khushi taught her class guys a tough lesson, sitting at the front bench. Along with NK, Lavanya, and Preethi, a few more students were listening to her. It was their leisure period and their final exams were closing up.
Arnav never showed interest in teaching them. So, they attacked Khushi who was the Ambassador of Arnav. Khushi was glancing at Arnav who looked irritated. She knew his condition. He was going to swallow her alive for sure but she could not help as her friends needed her help. After all, it was their final year... the deciding factor of their future…!
Khushi looked at her watch and sighed in relief as there were only five minutes before the period was over. She completed the topic hurriedly and closed the book.
“Khushi, one more chapter please” NK requested.
“The bell is going to ring. Francis sir will come for the next period. We will see the next chapter tomorrow” She said.
That was when their class guy who went to the washroom came.
“Hey, guys, Francis sir went home on permission. He won’t come to our class today”
“Wow… then we can complete the next chapter today itself,” Lavanya said.
Khushi looked at Arnav gulping down who was gazing at her sharply.
“We will see that tomorrow guys…” Khushi said hesitatingly.
“We will revise it at home if you taught us. Please Khushi…”
“Yes, Khushi…” all of them pleaded.
Khushi sat again having no choice. She could not deny them. After all, they didn’t expect much from her but just asked for her help to study.
Arnav lay on the last bench, spreading a book on his face as he understood Khushi would not come to their bench soon. Khushi sighed inwardly and continued her work. It was the last period. She didn’t know what kind of DOSE she would get from her husband.
The last bell rang. Khushi came to their bench. Exactly at the same time, taking his bag, Arnav stood up and walked out without talking to her.
Khushi ran behind him taking her bag. Arnav kicked his bike. Khushi stood to know what he would do. As she expected, Arnav waited, accelerating the bike. Khushi went to him controlling her smile and sat beside him. Arnav started the bike and left the college.
“I know you are upset with me”
“I’m glad about it”
“I just helped them in studies… what’s wrong?”
“Bunking the classes they roamed around Ooty. Instead of listening to the classes, they countered with the professors… And now, when exams are closing up, they are fussing us”
“We studied well… we just helping them to pass the exams… what’s there to fuss us?”
Arnav pressed the brake and looked at her dangerously, turning behind. Khushi bowed down. Arnav again started the bike. Khushi prayed DM looking up. She didn’t know what would happen that day. Arnav was going to create a big scene for sure.
“Arnav, shall we go to Rose Garden?” She intentionally got into a conversation but Arnav said,
“Mmm”
“When will we go?” she asked as he could not give ‘MMM’ an answer. She thought he should have to say something opening his mouth.
But, Arnav didn’t answer and stayed mute. Khushi sighed.
“Arnav, could you get me an ice cream?”
“No…”
“Oh… I will catch a cold… right?”
Arnav was again silent.
“Ok, then, get me a HOT baby corn”
He pressed the brake and stopped the bike near a baby corn shop. Khushi got down from the bike. Arnav got her a hot and spicy baby corn and gave it to her.
“You take a bite first”
Arnav nodded no and walked to the bike. Khushi sat on the bike pouting and bit the corn making a sad face.
They reached RM. Ratna was humming a Tamil song that was playing on Spotify.
*Un parvaiyil orayiram kavidhai naan ezhudhuven katril nane…* (In your sight, I will write a thousand poems in the air…)
She smiled seeing Arnav and Khushi coming. Their gesture alerted her. Khushi extended the corn and asked him to take a bite. Arnav glared at her and walked. Ratna sighed.
Ratna saw Khushi and raised her brows. Khushi pouted showing her thumb down.
“Chotte, was lunch good?” she asked Arnav.
“Mmm…” he walked to his room.
“Arnav has a vow… he will not say anything other than MMM,” Khushi said.
Arnav looked at her sharply and went.
Ratna asked Khushi through a gesture what happened.
“I spent two hours with my classmates and taught them lessons”
Ratna kept her hands on her head and nodded her head from left to right.
“Please do something, aunty”
Ratna blinked her eyes and went to Arnav’s room. She saw him sitting on the bed, pressing his hands behind.
“Chotte, shall I bring you coffee?”
He nodded no.
“Tea?”
He again nodded no.
“Snacks?”
Arnav looked at her dangerously.
“I asked as you would be hungry…”
“I will ask you if I want something”
“Why are you looking stressed? Did you score low marks in exams?”
Arnav glared at her shrinking his eyes.
“I just asked…”
“Mom, could you stop your drama?”
“Drama? Do you think my concern is drama?” She wiped her cheek where there were no tears.
Arnav rolled his eyes. Ratna came and sat next to him.
“You made a blunder mistake by marrying Khushi,” she said seriously.
Arnav looked at her shockingly.
“Students would not seek help if your wife is blunt… but she is sharp. What to do now?” she said with a fake sadness.
Arnav held his head.
“Headache?”
“Yes, it will be all right if you leave…”
Ratna sighed.
“Khushi, I don’t know how you will console him. he is a tough nut to crack…”
Arnav controlled his smile. Khushi slowly peeped in.
“Aunty, I’m going to call my Dad. I’m going to go to my father’s place after our exams…” she said, making a face.
Arnav looked at her shockingly.
“This guy is getting upset with me for silly things”
“Is spending two hours with others a silly thing?” Arnav asked.
“I was with you for five hours… I just spent two hours with them”
“Are you spending time with me calculating?” he asked perplexed.
“Aunty, I’m seriously going to my father”
“Don’t you dare talk to me like that, Khushi”
Khushi sat on the bed holding her head.
“Why are you troubling her, Chotte?”
“Me? Mom, my class guys are troubling her and she is comforting them”
“Chotte, don’t you think you are fighting like a kid?”
Arnav rolled his eyes.
“It seems you guys won’t cook tonight” Ratna walked out smilingly, letting them sort their problem out.
It was Khushi’s idea to cook dinner with Arnav every day. She felt guilty about making Ratna cook all the time. So, she and Arnav took the responsibility of cooking dinner.
Arnav saw Khushi fiddling with her tops. He blinked his eyes sighing. He moved close to her and Khushi moved away. Arnav pulled her close to him, circling her waist.
“Go, you don’t have to talk to me… you fight with me for a simple thing,” She said making a face.
“Don’t say like that, Khushi”
“Then what? You always fight with me… you are not that old Arnav who treated me like an Angel”
“Touch your heart and say I don’t treat you like the same?”
Khushi looked somewhere sulking.
“You are always my Angel. That’s what makes me lose my patience. I can’t let my Angel be with others”
“If you think I’m Angel, how could you think I will be with others, leaving you behind? My sense will be only on you no matter where I’m… with whom I’m… don’t you know that?”
“I know… yet, I want you”
“I’m yours…”
“It’s not enough… I want you all for myself”
“Arnav, they are our friends. How could I deny them when they need my help?”
“Just like I did…”
“That’s the reason. If you had helped them they would not have engaged with me. It’s just for a few days… until our exams are over. After that, I’m all for you. Ok?”
Arnav was silent. Khushi turned his chin towards her.
“Are not you my sweetheart…? Are not you my darling…? Are not you…”
Cutting him,
“Of course, yes… no matter what…”
Khushi kissed his cheek strongly.
“Will you go to your father’s place?” he asked.
Khushi bit her tongue. Another problem…!
“Of course, I will go… with you”
Arnav smiled.
“What do you think? Do you think I will go alone? No way, I won’t let you be at peace”
“I will not be at peace if you are not with me”
“Arnav, why are you always serious?”
“I can’t make fun of your matter”
“Ok, sorry for leaving you alone for two hours…”
“That’s ok…”
Khushi sighed in relief.
“With one condition”
“What condition?”
“For every hour you spend with others, you will spend with me in nights… on bed”
Khushi widened her eyes.
“What the…”
“If it is fine, you can go”
“You know what? Werewolf is much better than you. He was so cautious not to get into my bad book. But you…” She gulped down hard.
Arnav laughed out louder.
“What say?”
“I’m not coming to this game…” She rushed out.
“Khushi stop…” he chased her.
Khushi ran in between the rose plants, chased by Arnav. Ratna peeped out through the window and sighed with a smile. This was what happened in RM these days. Consoling Arnav was not hard for Khushi and forgetting their problem was not hard for Arnav. They were like that. She concentrated on the tea that was on the stove.
Arnav circled Khushi’s waist from behind and circled her in the air. He sat on the cement bench, keeping her on his lap. Khushi leaned on him panting hard. She looked at him smilingly.
“Tonight… two hours…” Arnav said smirking.
“Ok, then, make yourself ready for THREE HOURS tomorrow night,” She said.
Arnav was taken aback. Khushi laughed at his expression and again leaned on him. Arnav kissed her cheek lovingly and smiled.
Arnav and Khushi posed for their college farewell day’s photos cheerfully. They completed their master’s successfully.
