FF Our 9 Months - Part 34

Khushi walked into their room to see Arnav sitting on their bed, his head in his arms, he was shaking ..  she sighed as she walked upto him and stood in front of him ... as soon as he sensed her presence, he pulled her into his arms ... his face resting against her belly as he hugged himself closer to her waist ... he pulled aside her Pallu and placed soft light kisses on her tummy... his tears leaving wet traces where his lips touched her... Khushi tried to soothe him and thats when she heard him...

" Papa loves you ... loves you so much that he cant wait to see you ... cant  wait to hold you in his arms but ...

Papa loves your Mama even more... she is reason he is alive today ... she is his existence... without her your Papa is as good as dead ... everyone and everything in this world comes only after Khushi for  Arnav ... as much as I want to see our babies... I cant let that be at the cost of losing Khushi .. I will never be able to see my babies if they become  the reason I loose my wife.. if anything happens to her... then that will be the end of Arn... "

And before he could complete  his sentence... Khushi covered  his lips with her hands...not letting  him utter another word... Arnav stood up and took her in his arms... Khushi hugged him  back... her  head resting over his heart...

" Arnav ... stop overthinking... stop imagining all the scary scenarios... the  doctor was  only asking me to be careful... its just a standard procedure... and there is nothing for you to worry... I am fine... I am healthy and  I will be safe... am not going to endanger my life or let anything  happen to our babies... our little ones will arrive in our world soon and we both will see them together... hold them together... raise them together ... watch them grow up to be the most beautiful  kids ever seen.

Arnav when I see you upset and worried... it worries me... it hurts to see  you so tensed and in pain... I want us to be happy... I want to see you happy... believe me Arnav .. nothing is going to happen... just trust me on this... and I promise you that  I will take extra care of  myself... would strain myself at all... and now that our family is here ... you and our family combined together...am sure I wont be allowed to even lift a finger if you all can help it ... so stop worrying now !! "

Arnav pulled out of the hug and cupped her cheeks...

"true Khushi... I will breathe free once you give birth... once I know I have you and our babies safe... thats all that matters now... and I promise you... I wont stay  upset or worried... Promise Khushi . "

With that he placed his lips over  hers as he gave her a silent kiss of promise... and as was  the norm no kiss of theirs could end just like that as it turned wild and all consuming... simple kisses turned  passionate ... drugging as they devoured each other... both wanting more ... moulding their bodies as close as possible !!

Minutes later they broke out of the kiss ... Khushi rested herself against Arnav as he held her...

"Arnav .. Dia is hurt .. she is a little baby .. and this is the first time her Nanav Mamu got angry on her... we need to go down sweetheart... we need to make our little princess  smile again !! "

Arnav looked at Khushi... who  was smiling at him... but her eyes held malicious laughter... she knew how much he hated being called Nanav and he could see that she was teasing him...

"Lets go down Mrs.Raizada... I know our Dia needs a little cheering up... I have to tell her that I am truly sorry for making her cry... but be warned Khushi... you are definitely going  to pay later for calling me Nanav !! "

Arnav winked at her... his brown eyes held a world  of promise... she could see the wicked ideas brewing in his head and knew she had let herself fall into the  trap... a trap from which she never wanted to escape !!

Arnav led Khushi down slowly... their family got up as they come down ... they had so much to ask them .. to tell them but before they could say a word.. Arnav moved towards Dia and pulled her into his arms and took her to Khushi... he gently  placed Dia into Khushi's arms.. making sure that Khushi  could hold her comfortably...

"there you go princess... you have your Mami with you and your Mamu will never stop you from being with her... "

He placed soft kisses on her baby cheeks ... Dia gave him a wide toothy smile as she hugged herself into Khushi's arms ... and the pair immediately started their crazy chatter in a language  only the pair could hope to understand while  the family watched them with adoring smiles...

Arnav turned to Anjali who  was smiling at him... she held out  her arms for him and Arnav without  hesitation went over and hugged her... he wanted the comfort that the woman who had raised him like a mother could offer him...

"Stop worrying Chottey... we are all here to take care of Bhabhi and  we promise you we wont let anything happen to her... you  will never loose her... ever !! do you get me ?? "

Arnav smiled as he placed a kiss on her forhead...

"I know Di... as long as I have you all.. I know you will take care of my love... I am sorry Di for screaming at you  like that and behaving so rude with  Dia... I know I hurt you... I didn't mean to Di… I was worried about Khushi... I was scared... was scared that even a slight mishap would jeopardize her safety !! "

Varun came and sat next to Arnav ...

"let it go Arnav... your Di knows why you reacted... we all understand... if we were in your place.. maybe we would have behaved the same way too... I am sorry mate for lashing out at you... don't know why but to see Dia upset... it didn't feel good at all.. I have seen her all these days… back home at RM... everyday morning she would walk upto to your room and keep knocking... hoping that you or Khushi will open the door and take her  in and when she doesn't see you both… she starts crying... "

As Arnav heard Varun speak... he felt worse... he looked over at Khushi  who looked teary eyed just like him as she took in everything Varun had spoken... Arnav watched as Khushi cuddled Dia closer who looked liked she had found her haven after a long time... Arnav walked over to them and hugged them both close... together he and Khushi spend the rest of the day pampering Dia to death as the Raizadas and the Guptas had a happy reunion .

Meanwhile  Varun was deep in thought...of late there was something in his heart that was troubling him ... something that consumed all his thoughts... and that was his growing affection for Dia and Anjali... at first Anjali was  Arnav's sister for him… and his heart went out to her for all the  pain she had endured all throughout  her life.. but more than care there was another emotion bubbling in his heart... it was an overwhelming need to be there for Anjali and Dia... to protect them... to always keep them happy... to keep  them safe... a single tear in their eyes and it made Varun want to burn everything and everyone that caused it... the intensity of his own feelings terrified him ...

"Did he love  her ... was it love that made him want to keep them close to his heart .. in his life forever... love that made him want to be Dia's best friend as she grew up... love that he wanted to be Dias father figure... love that  made him want a family that had Anjali and Dia in it.. as a part of it .. and even if he did love them... would Anjali  accept him... would she be ready to take a second chance at happiness ?? will she be able to trust  another  man once again after what that creep if her ex husband did ?? "

With these thoughts worrying Varun... he knew time would give him the answers but what he didn't know was that there were 3 other people in the house who were watching his turmoil… 3 people who would eventually come to his rescue.

Shyam Manohar Jha had a triumphant smile on his face as he settled into his apartment in Kulu Manali... finally he was close to his target... he had been keeping a close watch on the Raizadas and Guptas... Arnav and Khushi's absence had confounded him and he kept the family within sight hoping to gain some info as to their whereabouts... he hadn't seen them leave the house but their continued absence made him sense that something was  amiss and after  a lot of snooping and following... he had started considering  the possibility that Arnav and Khushi had moved from Delhi throwing dust in his eyes...

But that didn't deter him… he had been with the Raizadas long enough to know enough about them that could help him guess where Arnav and Khushi were but he didn't have to do a lot of hardwork to find their  locale since the family decied to help him unknowingly… he saw them leaving and had decided to follow them and that search had led him  to Kulu ...

He had not been surprised to find that Arnav had ensured maximum security at their residence... he knew it was to keep him at bay  ... but what arnav didn't know was that Shyam held something in his possession that will make Khushi leave him forever …

Shyam had gone to Lucknow... to the  place where Arnav and Anjali had grown  up... hoping to find something that would help him plot his revenge and what fell into his hands was pure gold rush , the information had the capacity to tear apart Arnav and Khushi's marriage... in the face of it... Khushi could end up hating Arnav even more than she hates Shyam and its exactly this trump card that he wanted to play on Khushi...

He knew there was no scope of meeting Khushi alone... the only thing he could do was send her a copy of all the information and then watch the drama unfold  and he intended to do exactly that. Laughing as he sealed the envelope and instructed his men  on whom to deliver it to, he relaxed in his bed as he set the timer ticking... it was only a matter of hours before the  pile of information that he was sending to Khushi wrecked havoc in Arnav's life !!

Meanwhile on the other end... Khushi was sitting in their room... she was stroking Dia who had fallen asleep in her  arms... Arnav entered to see Khushi holding a sleeping Dia in her arms... her expression serene and peaceful... as soon as he walked in... Khushi indicated him to not make a noise lest he woke Dia up... he smiled at her as he took Dia  into his arms...

"Stay here Khushi... I will take Dia back to Di and be back soon "

Khushi nodded silently as she kissed Dia and handed her  over to Arnav.

5 minutes later Arnav was back and after locking their bedroom door .. he walked upto her and sat next to Khushi who was talking to herself... lost in her thoughts...

Arnav decided to break her reverie...

"what is it Jaan... something seems to be bothering you... tell me what is going  on in that crazy  head of yours !! ;) "

Khushi glared at him ... her stupid laad governor... he would never leave a chance to tease her but she would deal with that later... she had more pressing demands in her head...

"make fun of me all you want Arnav ... I am only one here who has the brains to think about important things !! we are having triplets Arnav... 3 babies !!! we have so much left to do to welcome them into our world  ... the nursery we made... we have to make it fit enough for 3 little tykes who am sure are going to be a handful just like you .. have you ever thought about that !! "

Arnav laughed as he pulled her into his arms... making her comfortable in his arms as they leaned against the headboard...

 "Come on Khushi... the nursery will  be ready... when our babies arrive... the nursery will be fully equipped and perfectly functioning ... any shopping that you want to do... we both  can do it online and we can have them delivered  at RM .. Hari Prakash ans the others will arrange them and once we head back  ... you can rearrange the room how you want !!  is your problem solved now ?? "

Khushi gave him a hesitant smile... her Arnav always had  a solution for all her problems... he had solved everything in a matter of minutes...

"Waise Khushi... you already spend so much time thinking about our  kids even before  their birth.. you don't even spare 2 mins for me now... I don't want to imagine my condition once the babies are born... I guess you will totally forget the fact that you have a husband who  loves you crazy once your babies arrive !! "

Khushi's heart went out to him as he pouted at her, looking like an adorable kid complaining to his mother but  she decided to tease him for  some more time...

"Of course Arnav... thats how it is ... once the kids come... all  my time will be for them... I have been all yours all this time  Arnav .. now its time for  our kids ... and then  years ahead... it will be our grandkids and so on... thats how it goes . "

Arnav could catch her sarcasm.. he could see that she was teasing him and he decided to give it back as good as he got ...

"you are right Khushi... our kids will become our world... and as for us spending time... I know it will become irrelevant... I mean why would we think about spending time with  each other when we have our babies... right Khushi ?? "

Khushi saw green as she heard him speak, she had wanted to tease him but her husband seemed to be perfectly okay with them being busy with kids... and her hormones  weren't helping either... the thought of not being able to have her time with Arnav was driving her livid ... Arnav could see that his words had the  desired effect and now he was waiting for the action !!

Khushi hauled him over herself ... Arnav acting in time positioned himself so that he wouldn't hurt her... but Khushi didn't care as she cupped  his cheeks in her hands and forced him to meet his gaze... her eyes breathing fire while Arnav bit back  his laughter...

"Dont you dare Mr.Raizada ... no matter how many kids we have... no matter how many grandkids .. I will always come first for you ... don't you dare ignore me just because you have your  precious babies to play around with  now ... don't you dare make the mistake of ignoring Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada !! "

Arnav broke in ..

"Jaan you were the one telling me sometime back ... that we wouldn't have time for each other once we have our kids... "

Khushi cut him off...

"I was joking... I was teasing you ... I love you Arnav ... and I want you  always... even after an eternity  together  with you... I will still want you the same as much as I want you today... as much as I love you  today  " tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she tried to make him understand but Arnav didn't need any of it... he bend down and kissed away all her tears...

"Relax princess... even I was teasing you ... do you think I can stay away from you Khushi ?? do you think my love for you will lessen ?? I will love you ... will want you with me every single day of our lives and  after that and no matter how many babies we have... you matter the most to me... always and its never going to change ever ... enough of tears Khushi ... time for my revenge for your teasings from earlier on ;) !! "

And before Khushi could open her mouth ... Arnav had taken  her full lips for a passionate kiss as he turned off the bed lamp ... plunging their room in darkness as passion swept them away in a wildfire that consumed them body and soul.
