A VERY SPECIAL MENTION TO A CERTAIN BABAJI KA THULLU ❤️.
ARSHI OS -THE TOUCH OF LOVE
Standing in the front of the mirror,she straightened her already straight to perfecion hair for the umpeenth time.Glancing at the clock from the corner of her eye,she sighed.4 more hours.Why was time moving so slowly today?.Couldn't the appointment be slated in the morning,she thought annoyingly.
Her hand on her own rested on her abdomen as she tried to imagine herself few months down the line.She had completed 3 months of her pregnancy and today they were going to hear the heartbeats of their child for the first time and thus the wait seemed endless to her.But it couldn't have been helped since it was Holi today and even Delhi's best Gyneacologist needed a day off much to her husband's displeasure.
Was she really glowing ?.She tried to check her face for any visible changes but to her it looked the same ironic to what everyone was remarking downstairs.The only change she could gauge in herself was that she has put on a little weight.She has gotten alarmed but then as always her husband has come to her rescue.
Showing her the larger picture on how peculiar these things were compared to what awaited them.He was right as it has only been a spur of a moment thing which has warded off as soon as as it has entered her mind.
It was not like her husband was going to stop loving her rather if possible he was only going to love her more when she becomes huge.There was no room for any insecurities or doubts in her heart or mind.She was a woman secured in the knowledge of being deeply loved ,adored and cared for.
In 3 years of their marriage there hasn't been a single incident where she felt unsure about his love.Just a glance into those deep penterating soulful eyes and there resided the truth of her life.His words and actions proclaimed and testified that his he belonged to her,heart,body and soul.
Even being surrounded by beautiful women all the time,he was completely averse and indifferent to all the female attention he garnered.She has seen it firsthand while working in AR.Her husband was an irrestibly devilishly handsome man but all it took was his one intimidating glare and the overpowering persona keeping all those women at bay.
Her husband had no qualms in showing off his marital status rather he took pride in that.From the wedding ring adoring his finger to introducing her with everyone in his aquaintance and close circles, he has clearly established himself as a much married and in love man.
But she being Mrs Arnav Singh Raizada,guarded her husband from all prying eyes.When it comes to him she will always be selfish. He was only her Arnavji and Arnav only for her family.For the outside world he was as much as ASR as before and thats how it was supposed to remain always.
She stared at his life size portrait that she has made him hung on the wall.Perplexed as he has been,she hadn't left him any option but to give in to her demands making him change the position of it repeatedly until she was satisfied that it was visible to her from each corner of the room.
Naniji has told her that apparently the face expecting mothers have in their view most of the time,the qualities of that person gets imbibed in the child.He didn't believed in all these sayings but she did.She wanted their child to have all the qualities of his/her father.
He was the most hardworking,honest,dedicated,trusting and the most amazing human being she has ever known.He was practical and that was how it has to be for the outside world.He loved his family,Yes his anger came in handy with it but she didn't mind it.Not albiet because beneath that hard exterior laid a heart of gold.A heart she hold the possession off,she mused contentedly.
His anger was his way of showing that he cared.She has stumbled upon this facet of him a little late but she has,finding the key to his locked heart.The words her mother in law has writen for her in the letter,she understood the deep lying meaning behind it with full impact as she vowed to herself to love him the way he deserved to be loved.
They were not a couple who agreed on everything.They still fought reasons or no reasons,over silly things.It held another charm in itself,waiting for the other to pacify,doing little things for each other keeping the spark of their love and marriage alive.
Just on cue,Khushi remembered the one dialouge from her favourite actor Salman Khan's movie she felt was writen for them.
"JINSE HUM LADTE HAI,PYAAR BHI TO SABSE ZYAADA UNHI SE KARTE HAI"
(THE PEOPLE WITH WHOM WE FIGHT ARE THE ONES WE LOVE THE MOST IN OUR LIFE)[MOVIE : HUM SAATH SAATH HAIN]
Khushi glanced at the time once again realising that her anger has flown out of the window as fast as it has emerged.Her mood swings were making an appereance more frequently than she expected but having a family like hers made it all easy.
The precise reason she was here in her room instead of dancing her heart out today.Holi has always been an grand affair in Raizadas but this year it has only been family.The Raizadas and Guptas celebrating the festival together.It has all been her husband's idea who didn't trusted her a bit to look after herself.
And thus it has been uninamously decided that It will only be them this year.If she had wanted,she knew noone would have refused her but she hadn't.Her condition demanded her to be heedful if not for her then for the life growing inside her.Besides the blissful memories of the last two Holi after her marriage were more than enough to make up for it.
She has woken up to find him staring at her like always.His arm draped over waist fondling their baby,his eyes full of love and adulation. He has filled her partition with vermillion wishing her and they have applied colors on each other in small portions,lest she feels nauseated.
After all the initial wishes and greetings,the whole family have settled in the living room to watch the recordings.The first after their marriage where they both under the influence of Bhaang has let go of all their inhibitions,breaking away all the walls surrounding their hearts and has ended up confessing their true feelings to each other.
She hadn't remembered it but Arnav has and how could she have sit quiet after this revelation.She couldn't be at peace with the knowledge of missing anything related to them.And thus very smartly she has led him to confessing the same words to her again last year as they have went on recreating the moment again.And this year her DeviMaiyya has bestowed her blessings on them in form of their little bundle of joy.
Arnav entered the room to find his wife standing in front of the mirror lost in her thoughts and by the smile on her face,he could easily guess what it was all about.He was sailing in the same boat after all.He couldn't wait for the day he would finally hold their child in his arms.
He tiptoed toward her,not wanting to startle her.He settled the glass of milk on the table and snaked his arms around her waist securing her in the safe confines of his arms.Attuned to his presence,Khushi relaxed in his hold as she placed her arms upon his entwining their fingers.
Standing in each other's embrace they stared at their reflection and the picture they presented.How far they have come from that fateful night in SheeshMahal.The journey hadn't been easy but it has all been worth it as all those trials and tests has been leading to this and nomatter what happens in future,they will get through it Together.

"What are you thinking Mrs Raizada?".Arnav whispered huskily in her ears.
"Nothing much,just reminscing the dotes of your stubborness".Khushi answered with the mischevious glint in her eyes.
"I am stubborn and you are saying this!".Arnav exclaimed as they both erupted into laughter.Their stubborness has been one of their more prominent common traits that has restrainted them for so long in the past wanting the other to confess first.The stubborness remained intact till date,the only difference being,now they gave in to each other wishes wholeheartedly.
"For how long you have been up on your feet Khushi?".Arnav asked in absolute seriousness,feeling her tired nerves,all hints of teasing gone from his tone.
"I -umm - I".Khushi stumbled with words giving Arnav his answer as he picked her up swiftly in his arms and deposited her on the bed tenderly before saying,his voice a notch higher than he intended.The concern for her wellbeing getting better of him.
"How many times have I told you not to keep standing for long duration.Even doctor advised you not to do so?".
Khushi looked down guilty on her actions.She didn't suffered from morning sickness but her feet has started getting swollen offlate and she has been clearly advised by the doctor to avoid standing in one postion for long durations.
Seeing her upset was the last thing he wanted on this planet as he felt his anger flewing out of the window seeing her downcast face.He walked over picking up the glass of milk from the table and handed it over to her wordlessly.Khushi pass a look at his grim face and swallowed the tasteless milk in one go knowing better to not rile him up further.
Arnav's lips curved into a smile on its own violition as he saw Khushi drinking the milk without any tantrums when usually he had to practically force it down her throat.But still he had to be more vigilant towards her,his wife and child were his life and he will go to any lengths to protect them.He placed her foot on his lap as he massaged it with oil wanting her to rest for sometime.
"No Arnavji.Ill not sleep,what if we get late".Khushi whined.
"We will not get late Khushi,Ill wake you up in 2 hours,sleep now".He said reassuring her.
"But".Khushi tried to speak but Arnav hushed her by putting his finger on her lips as he sat besides her and patted her head making her drift to slumber in seconds.
Hours later they were in the doctor's chamber,having reached half an hour before their appointment feeling excitement and nervousness rush into their veins simultaneously.The anticipation of the to be parents being clearly viable,the doctor hurried the arrangements as she prepared Khushi for her sonography.
Their hands encased they felt the world around them going still as their eyes caught the little movement in the screen which was their child while they heard the first heartbeat.The doctor left closing the room leaving the couple to share the precious moment with each other.
Their eyes never left the screen as the sound of their child's first heartbeat resonated in their ears.Arnav bent down as he touched his forehead with hers,tears spilling from both their eyes seeing to what was noless than a miracle for them.
"Hamari Dhadkein Ek Ho Jaati Hai"
To say it was some words but to Arnav and Khushi it meant more than any I Love You or profound declarations of love.These simple words has been their confession of love.Their souls were entwined by the thread of their undying,pure and unadulerated love.Their heartbeating in unison as they basked in the glory of life they have created together.The symbol of their love born out of their heartbeats.
That night Arnav and Khushi didn't went back home rather they took to their escapeyard,their FarmHouse.They came here whenever they felt like wanting to escape into a world of their own away from the routines of daily life.
Tonight they just wanted to be by themselves talking to their parents.Losing their parents at such a tender age,growing up in the families that had undertaken them in their loving shelter,Arnav and Khushi were not aloof to the hole in their heart that gnawed on their senses often.
The feeling of belonging to someone had been unfamiliar to both of then till their soul have recognised each other and today they felt the nagging realisation subsiding away completely as they both had a feeling of euphoria,awaiting the arrival of their child in their small world.
They were going to have their own family.A family that solely belonged to them.It will be Arnav and Khushi Singh Raizada and their small family forever.
