Married to my Professor ~ Arshi ff

Chapter 13

Khushi was standing at Arnav's house. She looked around; the house was small but beautiful and cozy. It had a small garden. Arnav stood beside her, dressed in pajamas and a kurta. This was the first time she saw him in traditional clothes, and she couldn't deny he looked handsome and smart.

She came out of her trance when Sunidhi put vermillion on her forehead, then instructed her to enter the house after pushing the pot full of rice. As she instructed, Khushi did what she said.

Khushi handed her phone to Arnav and asked him to make her a video. She said excitedly, "I am so excited to perform these rituals." She wanted to be her best and remember this moment forever. After saying this, she slowly kicked the pot and entered the house.

Sunidhi kissed her forehead and said, "Welcome to your home. I have been waiting for this day for so long." Khushi smiled and hugged her.

Arnav was looking at her with surprise. Yesterday she was upset about this wedding, but today, she was behaving as if nothing had happened. He remembered her mother's words:

"Arnav beta, Khushi is a pampered child. Please be patient with her. Like a child, she gets angry easily and forgets things easily."

He smiled and thought to himself, "Her mother was right, she is just like a child."

He came out of his trance hearing Khushi's voice, "Aunty, I am tired. Can I go and rest?"

Sunidhi smiled and said, "Khushi, call me mom. I am your mom too." Then she turned toward Arnav and asked him to take her to the room. "Arnav, take Khushi to the room." He nodded and walked to his room, followed by Khushi.

Khushi looked at the room. It was neat and clean, with a bed and a study table in the corner. She turned toward him when she heard his voice. "Khushi, you rest for some time and then set your things in the room. I've made space for you in the cupboard as well. Or if you'd like, you can do it tomorrow as well."

He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Khushi, don't tell anyone about our marriage in college."

She frowned listening to the way he said it and for her she didn't want to get married in the first place so it suddenly triggered her and she says, "Oh hello, don't think too highly of yourself. It's not like I married Hrithik Roshan to tell everyone that I'm married...."

Arnav was too stunned to speak because of her honesty.

She continued, "But I did tell Riya."

Arnav took a deep breath and said, "Khushi, I'm telling it for your own good. If people come to know, it'll be difficult for you only in college. And please ask Riya not to tell anyone about our marriage."

Khushi grumbled something under her breath and finally said, "Okay."

Then she went to the washroom to change into comfortable clothes. Khushi emerged from the bathroom, dressed in comfortable clothes. She saw Arnav engrossed in his laptop on the bed. An idea sparked in her mind. She decided to play a prank on him.

Quietly, she grabbed Arnav's slippers. Then she took a tube of toothpaste from the bathroom and squeezed some inside each slipper. Giggling to herself, she put the slippers back in place and called out to Arnav.

"Arnav, could you help me with something in the bathroom?" she called out.

Arnav looked up from his laptop, slightly annoyed. "What happened, Khushi?" he muttered, closing his laptop and getting up.

Without looking at his slippers properly, he slipped his feet into them and felt a cold, squishy sensation. He looked down and saw toothpaste oozing out from the edges of his slippers. He pulled his feet out and stared at them, then at Khushi, who was struggling to keep a straight face.

"You did this?" he asked, incredulous.

Khushi put on an innocent face and said, "What are you talking about?"

Arnav was visibly annoyed but kept his cool. "You hope you know you're going to clean this up."

Khushi, still giggling, said, "Areeyyy, chill na, it's not even that bad. Why do you have to be so angry? It's just a prank."

Arnav gave her an amused look and said, "I'll get back to you, Khushi. Just wait and see."

Khushi smirked, "We'll see about that."

She then cleaned up the mess and went outside.

She suddenly realised they had to sleep on the same bed and she couldn't do anything about it because they were married and they eventually had to, so she had makes up her mind and asks , "Which side of the bed is yours?"

Arnav, confused at first, then answers, "Uh, the right side."

She nodded and said, "Good, I'll take the left side then."

As they prepared for bed, Arnav was about to turn off the light when Khushi stopped him hesitantly. He looked at her and saw she wasn’t saying anything, so he asked, "What happened? You can tell me."

Khushi answered, "Arnav... I cannot sleep in darkness."

He sighed. Arnav was unable to sleep with the light on, but he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable either, so he left a dim light on. As they lay down, he couldn't help but think about how different this situation was from what he had imagined.

Khushi, on the other hand, quickly fell asleep. With Arnav, however, it was a different case. Due to the light, he could not sleep, but after tossing and turning for two hours, he finally fell asleep.

He opened his eyes the next morning, feeling the weight on his body, and was shocked to see Khushi's body over his. She was sleeping with her head on his chest while holding him. He looked at her; she was beautiful and looked innocent. She had a mole on her lips which made her even more beautiful and attractive.

He realized what he was doing. He mentally scolded himself, "Arnav, are you mad? She is your student."

"No, she is not only my student but also my wife too, and I have the right to see her like this," his heart said.

After realizing he had been staring at her for five minutes, he slowly lifted her head and made her lay on the pillow properly. He then went to the washroom to get ready, mentally scolding himself for crossing a line.

After getting ready, he walked outside and greeted his mom. His mom asked, "Where is Khushi?"

"She is sleeping, Mom. I am going to meet a lawyer for the next hearing," he replied. His mother asked about breakfast, but he refused, saying he would eat outside.
