Just a 3000+ words one..

"Thank you so much for your help, Dr. Saniya." Arnav shook hands with the doctor as he retrieved the reports into his hand.

"It's all my pleasure, Mr. Raizada. And you're wife is a dear." She smiled cordially. "And please don't forget to inform Dr. Shreya too about this. She has been spamming my messages for a while now." She added on a chuckle.

"She has been a great help. I'll be sure to thank her personally." Arnav smiled before walking out of the obgyn's cabin to his wife who sat outside waiting for him.

"Arnav-ji!" Khushi stood in her place with an exclaim making his look soften and his smile wider.

It has not been as easy as he though even after they have changed places from Delhi to Mumbai. He had wanted to fly out of the country all together, but his decisions altered when he noticed Babu-ji's condition. And keeping in mind that Buaji is still suffering from asthma, he had to concede and finally here they were, just after a month of his decision, in Mumbai. It's been one and a half year now.

But the one month they've been there had in no way been easy. Though Khushi had acted brave in front of the family, to not worry her parents, Buaji and Jiji, but he knew better. After all, it was him who used to hold her as she cried out the nightmares or woke up sweating remembering that horrible night.

The other day when they visited the hospital for a regular check-up, because Arnav couldn't believe with just words that Khushi was fine, they again bumped into Dr. Shreya. It may have been a normal run-in, but it's not just that. Arnav noticed Shreya's lively nature and her chattering had worked well with Khushi and also he noticed Khushi smiling for the first time with her around. And then Arnav Singh Raizada decided. Dr. Shreya is a good influence on Khushi, and from the next day she had become a regular visitor of Gupta house. In turn, becoming a part of the family herself. Khushi Ma'am became Khushi Didu and Mr. Raziada became Arnav Jiju for her and Shreya basked in the love of having someone who became as close as family when she is living away from her home and parents.

"Arnav-ji, shall we move?"

"Yes. We'll just take these medicines from the pharmacy and leave. Come." Arnav pulled Khushi along as they stood in the line for their turn to buy the medicines. It is two days back when Khushi started feeling severe pain in her abdomen. Though it stopped after a while, Arnav isn't going to take any chances and ringed up Shreya in Delhi seeking help as he had no other options of doctors to take Khushi to here in Mumabi. Shreya, after listening to the problem, suggested her friend Dr. Saniya in Mumabi an obgyn. And again, Arnav ordered that Khushi should be run through all the tests available which only showed the casualties that Dr. Saniya already pointed. Calcium deficiency and digestion problem.

"But I don't have any problem, then why do I have to take these many tablets?" Khushi questioned with a pout as she noticed the prescription. Arnav looked down at the prescription in his hand and the list of three tablets written there and chuckled.

"They're just three, Khushi. And they're for the calcium deficiency and for effective digestion. I have been telling you to not go onto the street foods, but you would never listen, will you?"

"I go to eat just once a week. And that too when I ask your permission." Khushi stood with a pout.

"I give you permission to eat once a week. And you go and complete the full chaat stall before coming back home. What should I say about it?" Arnav asked with folded hands and raised eyebrows.
