Ae Dil Hai Mushkil - ARSHI

part 31 - karwa chauth

Some days passed just like that. Arnav went to work every day and worked from 8 am till midnight. They were organising a new fashion show in lucknow. When khushi got to know about that she wanted to help arnav but he told her to not stress herself. One night arnav came home late.

He looked around the living room. It was dark and he could say that the whole family was sleeping in their beds. He layed his bag, keys and bluetooth on the desk and went to the kitchen to eat something. Just when he opened the fridge door it got closed again.

Khushi closed the door with her right hand comming from behind and scared arnav.

„Khushi!"

„Sh!"  she said and closed his mouth with her hand.

He looked at her hand and again at her.

„The whole family is sleeping, we shouldn't wake them up. Hm?"

Arnav just nodded. Khushi pushed him to the desk and washed her hands. She took out a bowl and the oil. Arnav had big eyes, he couldn't eat oily food at midnight. Yuck. He stood up and took away the oil and the bowl from her hands.

„What.."

„Khushi yeh mera line hai. And second..i don't want you to cook something..big" he said and made an expression with big eyes and his hands making a big circle, showing khushi he didn't want her to cook much for him at this time.

„Then what do you want?" asked khushi.

„You didn't even have dinner."

„How do you know?" asked arnav suprised.

„I asked amman."

Arnav just looked away.

„Just sit down and i'll make you a sandwich." said khushi with a smile.

„Sandwich?"

„Haan, what else?"

„Theek hai.." said arnav and sat down.

Khushi just looked at him. Arnav copied her expression and pointed to the toast.

„Start." he said.

Khushi looked at the toast and smiled. She started making the sandwich for him. In less than 20 minutes it was ready. She layed the plate with the sandwich on it infront of him.

„Bon appetit." said khushi.

„Thank you." said arnav and started biting into the sandwich.

Khushi sat opposite him and glanced at him eating his sandwich. Arnav looked at her.

„Have some." he said.

„Nahi! I can't, thank you." said khushi.

„Kyun? Kya hua? You're okay right?"

„Haan main theek hoon."

„Toh?" asked arnav and offered her his sandwich again holding it close to her mouth.

Khushi smiled and pushed his hand away slowly.

„Tomorrow is karwa chauth." said khushi.

„Oh.." he said and looked at the clock.

11:45 pm

He looked at the sandwich and took a last bite. He swallowed it and stood up eith the plate. Khushi looked at him and the sandwich he didn't finish.

„Kya hua? Should i ask you know if you're okay?" asked khushi.

Arnav chuckled.
