Chapter 10

Hi beautiful readers. I'm so sorry for the late update. I was caught up and couldn't update on time. Ok so I'm told the deadline for apologies was yesterday. Lets get into the story. 

*************************************************************************************

After some time, Khushi woke up and was hit by a severe morning sickness. She emptied everything that she had eaten over breakfast. The ladies had a tough time convincing Arnav not to call the doctor. It was a normal thing after all which could be lessened by medication and homemade concoctions. Shweta this time offered to prepare something for her. She too wanted to pamper her like she had Avni during her pregnancy.

'Arnav its been some time since Arhan's plane landed right, where is he?'

'Khush, this is Mumbai, and you know how it is, there is traffic and there was also an accident on the way.'

'Don't tell me about accidents and what not Arnav Singh Raizada.' Khushi raised her voice scaring the family. 'Why don't you use your ASR brain when needed? You have a damned chopper, use it damn it! We even have a helipad here too or is it for picnicking Asad Bhaiya?' Khushi asked sarcastically. 'And you bhai,' Neil closed his eyes 'What is the point of you being the boss when you can't use your power to clear the way for your nephew? Get going now!'

The ladies felt sorry for the poor men who only had their mouths open in shock. Khushi could be very dangerous when she chooses to. She was worse than Asad, Arnav and Neil put together.

The men fished out their phones ready to make way for Arhan.

'Did you have to get her pregnant at this precise time bro?' Neil whisper-complained to the boys.

'How would I know, call your special friend Ahir, he has some special powers.'

'Special agent bro.' Neil corrected.

'And say what exactly, that your wife is high on hormones?' Asad snickered. 'Her pregnancy with Arhan was way cool'

'Yeah,' they agreed.

'What are you whispering?' Zoya was curious as always.

'Logistics Zoya.' The men chorused earning chuckles from the women except Khushi who was in her own world, worrying about  her son.

The bell rang precisely at that moment and all eyes went to the door.

'It must be Arhan I will go and check,' Khushi said almost running but Arnav was quick to grab her hand. 'Careful damnit! You're pregnant remember that.'

She blinked her eyes hugging him and watched as Asad went to attend the people at his door. He stepped aside as a mini version of Arnav walked in with a backpack. His eyes were scanning the room already. As per his conversation with his parents a day before he'd known he was coming to be with his parents. They were so many people here, just like in Delhi and out of them all he only recognised one person, his dad. As Arhan started to smile at him his eyes shifted to the person next to him, or rather in his arms and it became a full-blown smile as he recognised that person too. He was happily surprised to see her, and his face said it all.

'Hi beautiful,' Arhan ran to Khushi, and she too opened her arms, going on her knees and hugged him. 'What are you doing here?'

'Hi handsome, what are you doing here?' Khushi asked back. She wanted to share this camaraderie with him and not overwhelm him at once.

The full house looked at them with different feelings. They had no idea the two had met before. Arnav thought Khushi had only seen Arhan on photos from NK and Sheetal and the last recording made by one of NK's men. He watched keenly as his loves conversed.
