Arnav Khushi- One Shots

OS- Change

Arnav Singh Raizada glanced at his gold plated Rolex for the third time. 1:45 pm

and she is still not here. Of all the days she choose this day to be late.

SO NOT FAIR!
he complained to himself.

Khushi kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. His lovely wife. She had made a point of reaching his office dot 1:30 pm every single day, carrying along a larger than life tiffin box with delicious home cooked meal made by her own hands.

And then as a ritual, that too made by herself, they used to eat together silently in his cabin. okay, scratch the silent part, cause the moment she stepped inside his cabin her need to fill him with everything that she did once he leave for office takes over everything. How Nani teased her, how she had taught hari prakash to make perfect jalebis, how lakshmi-ji freaked out mami by eating her lipstick from the dressing table..et cetera et cetera..

and every day, Arnav Singh Raizada was left a little bit more amused by his wife, by her way of watching the world from a different spectrum, by her way of finding happiness in small otherwise-neglected things, by spreading happiness wherever she goes, thus doing complete justice to her name ‘khushi’.

yes..khushi she was..and thats what she aimed at spreading in the life of others too.

and every day, he found himself falling for her, a bit more.

Not that she knows about it.

The very fact he was planning to change today. He checked the internal pocket of the suit he was wearing and removed a small velvety round box. Sitting pretty in the middle was one lone round solitaire, surrounded by small diamonds. The one he had personally chosen for her, the one he’s planning to give her today.

One that he should have given her a lot earlier.

One that he was sure, would put a smile on her face, not cause of it being the expensive gift but just the fact that it was coming from him. He knew that even a lone flower in place of that expensive ring would have bought the same reactions on her face.

He smiled internally on imagining how she would react, when he’ll confess her feelings. Feelings that he couldn’t deny anymore.

Yes, He had loved her for a while now. He couldn’t exactly pinpoint how or when he started falling for her..but yes, he just fell for her..very unlikely.

He fell for his wife of 7 months..Never in his weirdest dreams he was prepared for this..but as they say, you cannot plan this..it just happens..isn’t thats why its called falling in love.

and now that he was prepared to tell her and confess it for first time..she is missing in action. . This woman will make him crazy someday.

He rolled his eyes upwards and his thought process got interrupted by the shrill ringtone of his Iphone. YOU have a very long life Mrs. Raizada, he smiled internally before preparing himself to give her a deserving earful for being late.

You are so gonna be dead for sure now khushi..

Releasing a breath, he punched the button to receive the call,

“khu…”

he was just starting with his speech on how unpunctual she is when a panicked male voice broke in leaving him stunned.
