Part 25

Arnav was working on his laptop as he has to complete some accounts before the particular date. It was already 11:00 pm. He thought to shut down the laptop. That's when he saw Khushi coming out of the bedroom covering her by the quilt.

Arnav(surprised): Khushi

Arnav(surprised): Khushi... come......

She came to him and sat on his lap while covering him by the same quilt.

Arnav: Didn't you sleep yet?

Khushi(nodded no): something is not letting me sleep.

Arnav(worriedly): Did you see any nightmare?

Khushi: No... I'm disturbed by something.

Arnav(caressing her hair): what's that Khushi?

Khushi: One or two? There are many...

Arnav: Khushi you are making me restless.

Khushi(whispering): Your eyes.... your cheeks... Your lips... How can I get sleep if you are so handsome? She asked pouting.

Arnav(chuckling): I don't know that my wife admires me to this extent.

Khushi: I wish I could have studied literature. Then I can write poems.

Arnav(laughing): About me?

Khushi: Then about whom else? She circled his neck keeping her cheek with his. She caressed slightly making him gulp.

Arnav(huskily): Seems like someone is in "mood"?

Khushi: Don't you dare talk in your damn husky voice. Or else...

Arnav( more huskily): or else?

She bit his jawline making him hiss smilingly.

Khushi: Then I don't know what I will do... she warned.

Arnav( picked her in his arms): let's see...

Next day

It was an "Electricity maintenance" day. Arnav woke up earlier and watered plants without disturbing Khushi. He knew there will be no electricity today, from morning 9 to evening 5. Khushi woke up from sleep and hurried her action. She put clothes in the washing machine and started it but she was late. Electricity was cut off before she finished her job.

Khushi(keeping hand on head): Oohh my god.

Arnav: what happened Khushi?

Khushi: "power cut". Clothes are there in the washing machine, rinsing is not done yet.

Arnav: I told you yesterday itself that today is a maintenance day.

Khushi: what to do? I woke up late today. It's because of you. you didn't let me sleep last night and didn't wake me up today. She pouted.
