My only love

Part 30

It's been a month since Arjun and Pakhi confessed their love for each other. Arjun had taken her to several dates and showered her with flowers and gifts. Pakhi was in bliss.  Not only Arjun but even Rahil never let a day pass when he didn't tell her I love you. She considered herself as the luckiest woman who got a beautiful son and most handsome lover. Now she just wished Arjun would set their wedding as soon as possible. She can't wait to become his wife - Mrs. Pakhi Arjun Khanna. The name itself gave goosebumps to her.

She got ready to go to her work and went downstairs to have breakfast. She saw Rahil complaining to Arjun regarding his milk. She shook her head slightly and went towards them "Why is my baby angry?" Rahil forwarded his arms asking her to pick him up. She happily obliged picking him up in her arms and kissing his for head. He  complained to her "Mum pa force me drink milkshake. Me not like" Pakhi looked at Arjun and he sighed "Mrs.Nair have gone to market to buy his baby products so asked me to make him drink his dry fruit milkshake but he is not co-operating" 

Pakhi turned her head towards Rahil and said in a different voice "Do you want to grow big as Pa baby?" He cutely nodded his head. She further asked "Do you want to have big muscles like Pa?" He again nodded. She continued "Do you want Batman to give his suit to you when you grow up as big as Pa?" He again nodded. She cooed him "Then drink milk baby. You know your pa use to drink milk when he was small like you. He likes it very much. If you will not drink then he will, won't you Arjun" she said pointing at Arjun. Arjun whispered in her ears "I don't like milk" She glared at him. He quickly started to pretend to drink milk. First sip in mouth and he felt like puking but he won't spit it in front of his son. He just wished Rahil agree to drink milk.

Rahil looked at him and asked him "No drink my milk Pa. Rahil drink shake" Arjun sighed in relief. He quickly handed glass to Pakhi so she can make him drink it before he changes his mind again.

He knew Pakhi was waiting for him to set their wedding date real soon but he had other plans. He wanted to give her a special wedding at the beach side because she loves beaches. His plan was full in action and very soon she will be his wife. Ohh he was so excited.

After breakfast, he asked Pakhi "Pakhi my driver will drive you to your boutique in another car. I am running late for a meeting today. See you in the evening. Bye love you" He kissed Pakhi and Rahil and sprinted towards the lift. Pakhi was confused. His behavior since last one week was so suspicious. He leaves early sometimes and comes back home very late. He hardly calls  her nowadays during her work. Even if she calls then also he just dodge her talks saying he is busy with his work. Initially they both use to talk whenever they got break from work even from their offices. He use to send her favourite peach roses, her favourite pizza in her office to surprise her but now she hardly sees him. What if he changed his mind and doesn't want to marry her anymore. No she won't think such negative things. Arjun won't do that ever. He loves her but then why is not spending time with her like before.

Arjun was waiting out of the airport when he spotted Karan and Anjali. He waved at them. He hugged them both one by one and kept their luggage in the car and started driving. "So buddy you are finally ready for a life imprisonment" Karan asked to tease him. Anjali who was sitting in the backseat hit him on his shoulder from behind "Do you thing marriage as imprisonment Karan?" Karan at once apologized "No love I was just teasing him. Don't mind" She gave a dirty look to him and asked Arjun "How is preparations going on Arjun?"

Arjun turned to give her a smile and answered her while driving "Everything is set. I called you two today so we can try out our attires and we can execute the first step of our surprise". She clapped her hands in excitement "Ohh why not after all we all are waiting for this wedding since so long"

Arjun discussed his plan with Anjali and they decided how to arrange the preparations already done. Karan who was listening to them frowned and said "Hello you two, even I am here ok. You both are talking and planning as if I don't exist" Arjun laughed at him "When two intelligent people speak, others shouldn't interfere" Karan glared at him and Anjali but they both just laughed him out. They both were having fun at his expense Karan thought.

Arjun took them first to the designer he had hired to design all of their wedding attires and after selecting clothes for each of them, Anjali even asked the designer to pack few stylist clothes for Pakhi to wear in her honeymoon. Then after having lunch, they all three went to select engagement rings for them. Arjun still had the pendant Pakhi gifted him. He had kept it safe with him for all these years because he wanted to see her wearing that. So he selected a dainty gold chain to match with it along with other jewellery.

After that, it was evening. He dropped Karan and Anjali back to airport as they both had to return back to Delhi. He was smiling while driving back home. All the things are set now he was just waiting for the right time to get married to his girl. He entered his penthouse whistling when an object flew over his head. He instantly ducked his head below and saw the source from where it flew.

Pakhi was standing with another object in her hand ready to throw at him. Her eyes were blazing with anger. She looked so sexy like this Arjun thought but then shook his head to clear his kind. Here she was mad at him and he is thinking she looks sexy. "Shut up Arjun" he chided himself. He carefully went towards her dodging the objects she was throwing in his way. He wondered what he did that made her so angry on him "What happened baby? Why are hell bent on trying to kill me?" He asked her laughing nervously. Pakhi shouted "You have the nerve to ask that Arjun Khanna. Why did you asked Ritu to offer me job here in Mumbai?"

Ok so now he understood the reason behind her wrath. She didn't like anyone doing things for her. He gave a sheepish smile  standing a little away from her "Darling it's not what you think. I just recommended you to her but she selected you because of your skills. Believe me I didn't force her for that"

Pakhi glared steely at him "When will you and Bhai stop treating me like a kid? I wanted to make my career without any one's favour but no you people can't allow me to do that simple thing"

Arjun carefully went near her "No dear. We are not treating you like a baby. We know you are capable of doing your things on your own but it's just that we love you so much that we can't sit idlely when you are struggling. I want to lay the world at your feet Pakhi"

She took a step back from him and opened her mouth when Rahil came "Mum why so loud noise come?" Pakhi smiled sweetly at him "Sorry baby mum was cleaning the room but don't worry I won't make noise now. You go and ask nanna to On the TV. Your favourite cartoon will start" Rahil ran towards his room and Arjun gulped seeing her back to her angry self again. He went towards her and pulled her in his arms. She resisted initially but he just tightened his hold on her "I am really sorry love if I made you feel hopeless but believe it was not my intention. You are there because of your work not because of me"

Pakhi sniffed holding his suit jacket "Don't do such things without my knowledge from next time" Arjun hummed and breathed in relief. She wiped her tears and asked him "What's up with you these days? Why are you always busy with work?" Arjun looked here and there "Umm it's not that. Much pending work is left that needs to finish before deadline. I will just go and change" saying so he literally ran to his room. Pakhi narrowed her eyes at him. Something is definitely fishy she thought. Arjun closed his room's door and released the breath he was holding. That was a narrow escape he thought chuckling.
