Choti Si Duniya - ArShi FF

70. Interruptions!

MahiMC22 demanded arshi romance last week and luckily I had this half written in drafts. So, here we go -

If someone asked Arnav and Khushi 11 years ago who biggest interrupters were in their romance, they would promptly say Aman with his ill-timed phone-calls, Anjali's or Nani's demands to come down for puja, Buaji or khushi's Amma's knocks on the door when they were visiting Guptas, or heck even pet goat Lakshmi ji!

But they never thought one day their own baby would be the one to be a spoilsport in their 'Rabba Ve'! And to think, their kids owed their lives to these "much intense moments", it was just unfair!

But that was the truth of Arnav and Khushi's romance since last 6-7 years!

Sometime in early 2016- Khushi was 6 months pregnant with Kavish:

Arnav had found her irresistible ever since she got pregnant. Not she was any less desirable before, but pregnancy had added to her natural glow and the feeling that she was carrying their baby used to make him adore her even more.

So, that evening, when he came home and found her luckily alone in kitchen, he went to her on as light feet as he could. She was busy fiddling in fridge, probably looking for something to either make or eat! He chuckled but bit his tongue so as to not alert her. Thankfully, she was too busy rummaging through the fridge!

Tiptoeing slightly, he pecked her cheek from behind, making her startled. And then, just as he wrapped his arms around her belly, he felt a kick!!!

They both froze for a moment! To decipher what happened! And then both broke out laughing, understanding how their little one who was very active in kicking these days had made his/her presence felt!

Arnav sighed and turned her around to see her face, then pecked her forehead and bent down to kiss baby!

That was one of the first interruptions and they both had only rejoiced in it then.

March 2021:

Aru and Pari were just a little over 1 years old and had kept their parents totally busy with their antics. And seeing their darling daughters grow up hour-by-hour, day-by-day had filled arnav-khushi's hearts with immeasurable joy.

But they still missed each other.

So, that day Arnav had planned a dinner 'date' with Khushi. There was a new celebrity chef restaurant opened very near to Shantivan. So, it would not take too much of traveling time. Now, next task was to find out some time when the twins would not need them, or at least Khushi. Kavish had by then learnt to stay without having his parents around for some time, but twins still needed them a lot. Their mealtimes, nap times, and even to keep an eye on them as they were prone to hurting themselves much like their chiku bhaiyya and ultimately their 'fall-pro' mamma!

Long story short, Arnav managed to find out a window of 2 hours when twins would be well fed and would be having their evening nap and he could whisk Khushi away for a short-but-countable evening!

Khushi too, had felt elated at the prospect of spending some time with her Arnavji. Having 3 kids and especially 2 of them so small and completely dependent on her for their every need used to drain her out. Sure, she had entire family and Arnav to help, but a mother is still a mother!
