Back to present
As Arnav entered his room , he felt a sense of warmth and love.
Khushi and Aarav were sleeping at extreme sides of his bed.
Khushi looks showered and changed into one of Payal's pyjamas.
Kissing Aarav and Khushi on his forehead , Arnav quickly showered and crawled onto the middle of the bed.
As he uncomfortably laid on the bed due to less space , his uncomfortableness flew off as soon Aarav put his hand on Arnav's chest and Khushi rolled over to Arnav's side, snuggling to his chest
It was perfect.
He felt home.
Best birthday ever.
(Next day)
Arnav's POV
" WAKE UP SLEEPY HEADS" Someone shouts, barrelling into our room. I feel Khushi curl around me tighter muttering something under her breath.
Typical craziness.
I lift my head and look to see who it is. No surprise that it's Tara and Nk.
"Go away" I groan, dropping my head back into the pillow. Khushi nuzzles into my neck and curls tighter around me.
-----
A few minutes later
Arnav woke up only to find his Di opening up his curtains.
Aarav's hand was over his chest and Khushi was holding onto his shirt collar .
And he inturn was holding her other hand .
" Di. What the hell." he said pulling the blanket over his face to avoid the bright sunlight.
God had other plans.
They woke up to a buckets of ice cold water on them
" What the hell " Arnav grinted
" What the " Khushi spoke annoyed
Aarav just gave murderous glances to Tara and Nk who stood with an empty bucket along with the entire family.
" Hello hi bye bye. Good morning family !!
Happy birthday Arnav bitwa "
Aarav just grabbed the entire blanket and went back to sleep on the recliner, leaving Khushi to roll her eyes at her morning-hating son
They all wished Arnav and left the room.
soon it was just Khushi and Arnav and of course sleeping Aarav.
" Good morning Birthday boy" Khushi said to Arnav as she got out of bed
Arnav pulled her back to bed grabbing her waist and made her sit on her lap
" Arnav ji what are you doing ? "
" Don't I get a birthday kiss ?"
They remembered the last night kiss the duo shared in the car
" Nope "
" And here I thought the birthday boy gets what he wants " Arnav said huskily
Arnav leaned over Khushi kissing her Rossy lips as they deepened the kiss
Just then , Tara barged into the room only to find them kissing passionately.
She quickly covered her eyes with her hand
"Tell me when you guys are decent" Tara said
Cursing his luck , Arnav let go of Khushi's waist and Khushi got up from bed and literally ran into bathroom.
" We are now" Arnav said frustrated.
" Nani is calling for breakfast"
" Tara ... Wait " Arnav called
" Next time knock on the door" Arnav grumbled
"Sure Bhai " Tara said teasingly
Not wanting Aarav to catch cold from the ice cold water.
Arnav woke up Aarav and gestured him to shower in Nani's bathroom and Arnav headed into Anjali's room to take shower.
He found Anjali combing her hair in front of the mirror
Seeing Arnav on the mirror , she said kissing his forehead " Happy birthday , Chote "
" Thanks di " and he headed into shower
As Arnav reached down for breakfast , he found everyone seated(except Khushi) at the table.He sat next to Aarav , leaving a seat for Khushi next to him.
Soon , Khushi took the seat next to Arnav as Arnav smiled at her.
The table was filled with Arnav's favorite foods.
Just then , Khushi sneezed
" Bless you " Mami said
As Arnav placed food on Aarav's plate , she sneezed again rubbing her now red nose
Payal concerned " Khushi are you okay ?"
Khushi nodded yet sneezing again
" Bhabi don't worry too much. It's just the after effects of dancing with Nannav in the rain "
They all laughed except Arnav and Khushi ( who sneezed yet again and got up from table to answer the call from Sid)
" Bless you Khushi" Arnav said
"By the way , Chote why were you late last night? " Anjali asked
" Due to the rain , trees got uprooted and blocked the roads " Arnav explained
" No dancing in the rain with di huh , Bhai ?What were you doing Bhai ??" Tara teased
Arnav's ears turned red remembered the kiss they shared in the car
" Bhai are you okay ?? Your ears look red !" Akash enquired worried
" Yea..I ..woh..woh..huh..we..me.." Arnav stammered making his ears turn more red like a tomato
" Hello hi bye bye . Arnav bitwa is brushing"
" Not brushing Mami .Blushing." Nk corrected
" Same to same " she replies causing the table to echo in laughter
Saved by the Bell , Arnav answered " Yea Aman " and quickly excused himself from the table
Anjali yelled frustrated " one day I am going to shoot Aman ji "
" Add Sid to the list too , di " Tara sighed
Aarav ate his breakfast happily seeing that his parents have patched up .
