Even though initial story was Sheetal track, I am adding few more chapters... So hang in there and enjoy...

Chapter 19 - Just a New day!

Arnav slept off till late. Khushi did not want to disturb him and closed all curtains!! She called Aman and got his meetings rescheduled. It was past 10 am now.

Arnav got up with a slight heavy head. Still he felt fresh sleeping peacefully... He remembered yesterday night and automatically smile adorned his handsome face!! He was at a peaceful place in his life!!

The curtains were still on and the room was dark so he thought it must be still early but he was in no mood to go for a jog... Wanted to take it easy and relaxed today...

He wanted to remember when was the last he had felt so peaceful? With his mom, yes always. May be when Di was getting married first and second time but that's about it... And maybe when he got back the Sheesh Mahal, but then the revenge was bitter sweet and not peaceful...

But as Khushi came into his life, he has started taking his life beyond win and losses in his business, started doing things to make others and himself happy, his anger has reduced and he was not judgmental but ready to be considerate... And biggest change, Arnav Singh Raizada who did not believe in relationship and marriage, married to Khushi twice!!

Oh my god, what has she done to me?? She is hell bent making me a better person, he laughed to himself at that thought. May be for family but for the outer world I am still ASR, his ego was stubborn and held strong...

Life was beyond peaceful with Khushi!! It was everything he never thought for him or dreamt but would love and cherish for life!!

"Khushi" as usual first word from his mouth.

"I am almost ready and here is your breakfast. Now please get up and get ready, you have meeting at 11.30 am" Khushi was trying to rush him to bathroom.

"Slow down sweet heart, I have enough time" He pulled her and kissed on her cheek. He was in no mood to get up or let her get up... He pulled her closer and started playing with her hair...

He was surprised to see her back to being shy!! She always blushes so much and looks even more beautiful when she turns red, he thought... He was smitten by her always...

"Your nose id red!!" He teased her... She touched her nose and smiled when realized he was teasing her... She felt like snuggling into him and sleep for couple of hours... She too was in no mood to go to college but unfortunately they both did not have time this morning and needed to rush to work... He had a very important meeting that he cannot skip, Aman had reiterated to her when she called to update Aman...

"Do you even know what time it is? It's 10.10 am in the morning" she said smirking at him. She was ready and dressed to go out... She almost laughed at his reaction... Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada waking up at 10.10 on a week day!! Not bad, great progress in her workaholic husband's life, she thought...

"What the???" Arnav jumped out of the bed and screamed "Aman, you are dead before you get fired, we had an important meeting at 9.00 am"

"I got it rescheduled at 11.30, so hurry up dear hubby" Khushi replied coolly.

"What?" Arnav was shocked.

"Get used to it Mr. Raizada. I am going to use my wifey rights when you act crazy" Khushi put both her hands on her waist and replied.

"What the?" Arnav was getting shock after shock. Has she eaten something? What is she doing rescheduling my meeting?? And why?? He was waiting for her to explain. But did not look like she did it for fun!!

"I heard from Di how careless you were last 12 days and did not sleep well, eat well. So you deserved to sleep and hence I got your meeting rescheduled, now get going" Khushi was clearly bossing him around and it's not that Arnav did not like it. He so much loved Khushi calling him Mr. Raizada whenever she is angry or fake angry!!

"I might as well attend meeting from home. Anyways it is remote call with foreign delegates. But sweetheart, next time please remember to wake me up than to reschedule my meetings" Arnav politely requested. He knew she meant well for him and he did not want to hurt her but it may not work when foreign delegates are involved.

"Then start behaving like normal human being, Mr. Raizada and not a machine. And if you dare use my time on your meetings, you will face consequences" She warned him in no nonsense attitude and smirked at him!!

Wow, he loved his petite, bossing around and possessive wife!!

Life is going to be a roller coaster ride with Khushi, I am never going to get bored, his heart assured him...

"I have to go to Institute and attend one class and work for couple of hours. Was going to go now" Khushi informed Arnav.

"I will pick you up and we can go out for lunch. Lots of catch up to do Khush. Just give me a call 30 minutes in advance" told Arnav. Khushi nodded and left.

Khushi also felt a new day in her life and life was beautiful, back to being normal... She was enjoying all the attention and love from her husband. He was getting involved in all things she was doing and was discussing his projects with her too... They were slowly coming a long way! She was blown away by his pampering and possessiveness towards her...

"Italian?" Arnav requested the lunch option of his choice after picking up Khushi...  

"Dhaba??" Khushi argued...

"No way, you always force me to eat whatever you like and spicy food makes my tummy go crazy... Then you keep saying I have so many technical difficulties... Not fair... Today you will eat Italian, baby" He forced her. She gave in because she knew they always ended up eating Indian for her...

"This is last time I am eating Italian" Khushi was sulking entering the restaurant... Italian was too bland and creamy for her choice...

"Think again after you eat today" Arnav smiled. He had special ordered her dishes extra spicy, less cheesy and she loved it...

"I can live with these dishes. The food was yummy" Khushi agreed.

"Anything for you wifey" Arnav was happy she loved the food and ate her usual big quantity. Or else Italian was the only food which she will play with and not eat!!

Khushi was looking gorgeous with flowy long jeans skirt and a white top. Her hair open and long earrings!! Arnav was mesmerized how she looks beautiful in everything she wears!! He held her hand possessively and walked towards the mall after parking his car.

Khushi was surprised he was clinging to her even while walking but gave in... Mr. Romantic Arnav Singh Raizada, his DI and naniji must see it to believe it, Khushi thought and smiled inwardly. Could anyone believe the great ASR walking hand in hand in mall with his wife and in the mood of PDA... He didn't care people were watching him... But luckily they moved in quickly before someone starts taking pictures and avoided the crowd... They went in couple of shops, did a little shopping and headed to the food court for some cold drinks. Arnav was learning to feel normal in public places for his Khushi and do normal things... Arnav went to get coffee and ice cream they ordered.

Just then K gang walked in the food court.

"Khush my baby doll!!" screamed Kavi taking Khushi into a bear hug followed by Kavya, Karan and Kritika.

"What a surprise? When did you come to India?" Khushi was mad at 3Ks for not informing her about Kavi visiting India and gave them a glare.

"Madam, you went to Lucknow without informing and Kavi wanted to surprise you. So we kept it a top secret" Kritika pulled Khushi's ear while replying her.

"Never mind! I forgive you because of my bestie Kavi" Khushi ignored Kriti and Kriti laughed knowing Khushi's drama.

Khushi was super excited to see Kavi and was asking him all when, how, why and where questions at once... He laughed as usual looking at her anxiety and was answering her questions one by one... This was her usual habit whenever they used to meet and Kavi was glad nothing has changed in Khushi!! He felt at ease...

Arnav came back with the food tray and was surprised to see the K gang plus a new face.

Khushi pulled herself out of hug and held Arnav's hand, introduced him to Kavi.

"Kavi, meet my husband Arnav and Arnav, meet my best friend from childhood Kavi."

Kavi's face fell how much ever he wanted to hide his feelings and that didn't go unnoticed by Arnav. But Kavi immediately recovered before Khushi turned to him and shook hands with Arnav.

"Arnav means ASR, the great Arnav Sign Raizada" Kavi was sure in shock to see small town girl, his bestie Khushi to be with Asia's youngest tycoon ASR. What a destiny? He thought.

What a Destiny? All his life, his and her family loved both of them equally and would marry them off without a flinch, Kavi remembered how much Khushi's buaji always liked him for Khushi. And why not, Kavi was smart, intelligent and well educated and to top it all, son of a close family friend. Everything was going for him! But then Khushi's Devi Mayya has written someone else for her!  

Kavi knew how ASR came into her life out of nowhere, how he released the video in Lucknow and harassed her! And yet they ended up marrying each other twice and ultimately still get to be together for life... What a destiny!

And Kavi has always heard stories about ASR from media, his arrogance and what not?? So it was really interesting to see so casual with Khushi!! Just like any normal husband and wife, he thought... Kavi had heard recent updates from Ks. Even though things were getting better, Kavi wanted to confirm with Khushi... Kavi admired ASR as a great businessman and young achiever but he was not sure he was the best for Khushi!

Khushi always deserves the best! There was no doubt in his mind... Kavi was lost in his own thoughts...

"Hey relax, Call me Arnav or ASR" said Arnav casually understanding Kavi also part of Khushi's inner circle just like other Ks.

"Hey guys, let's sit together and chat while eating" said Kamya finding a big table.

They all chatted for an hour and sharing old nostalgic memories. Kavi was glancing at Khushi once a while and looked curious to understand Khushi and Arnav's chemistry. Arnav could feel Kavi was restless and wanted to talk to Khushi... But why?

Khushi invited whole gang for lunch on Saturday. Khushi requested Arnav as well as her gang to block the whole day if possible!! It was time to have some fun...
