Silent Affair (On Hold)

Chapter Twenty Eight

"Khushi, you have to promise you won't tell anybody."

Khushi looked at Anjali in confusion. Why not?

"It's a process Khushi. First, I have to tell Shyam about this and I won't even be able to do that until the evening when he's done with work. After that, I'm going to make a doctor's appointment just to be sure. If I really, truly am pregnant, then I'll tell everyone. I know most people like to wait till after their first trimester is over but I need Ma and Nani, I need their expertise, and I definitely can't do this alone."

Well, that's understandable... I can respect that.

Khushi took hold of her hand and nodded.

 "Thank you Khushi... and I'm sorry that my pregnancy brain got a little crazy about you doing the deed."

What-? Di! Khushi widened her eyes at her.

"What, I'm sorry, I'm pregnant."

Khushi frowned at her.

"Hey, don't be mean to a pregnant woman. I'm moody."

Khushi continued to give her the same look.

"Okay fine, I won't be using that as an excuse, but just you wait until that time starts, I'm going to drive everyone insane, don't give me that face then."

Fine, and she rolled her eyes with a grin.

"Anyways, back to the topic."

Khushi pursed her lips.

"Look, years ago you told me that you would do the deed with Chote, and I'm still happy that you were very honest with me. I'm still glad that you turn to me for anything and everything, Khushi, always. Yes I know, I shouldn't have opened my mouth, but we both now understand why I did it, and unfortunately, I can't turn back the hands of time to stop myself from blurting to Chote that you would have sex with him, eww."

Hai DM, what do I... sigh!

"Just... don't worry about it. And I'm sure once he hears about my pregnancy he'll understand where the craziness was coming from and he'll relax as well. Right?"

I hope so....

"Now then, forget I even said anything, and go have some fun with my brother, I've stolen his girlfriend for long enough."

Well I am done with my work so... I should go see him.

With a nod, Khushi got up and headed to the door.

"And remember, stay safe!"

Khushi looked at Anjali in shock, but the woman simply waved her hand at her and smiled, her other hand over her tummy. 

I... forget it.

Khushi walked down the halls and went to Arnav's study. She found Arnav inside, working away on his laptop at his desk.

"Oh hey, what's up?"

Khushi shook her head and shut the doors behind her. She went over to Arnav and sat down in his lap, Arnav holding her.

"Missed me," Arnav smiled.

Khushi nodded. Truth be told, she did. Ever since Anjali had spilled the beans, she had made things slightly awkward, but Khushi now understood Arnav's strange behavior and why Anjali did what she had, but she was going to look past the awkwardness and pretend like nothing had been said.

"Khushi there's... there's something I need to talk to you about."

Khushi's eyebrows met in the middle.

"Um.... The other day, Di said something to me..."

Oh no.

"...about you... about you being okay with us being... intimate."

Khushi looked down at her lap, blushing red.

"Is that... is that true?"

Khushi refused to look at him, her cheeks flaming up, confirming Arnav's suspicions. 

"Um... I know there have been a few occasions where we went kinda far..."

No kidding, Khushi thought, remembering the few times they had gone a little farther away from just kissing.

"...but I always made sure to stop things from going too far because I didn't want to make you uncomfortable and... yeah...."

Khushi toyed with his shirt over his chest.

Arnav sighed. "The truth is... I mean... I...."

Khushi looked up at him. She could see that he was struggling to get the right words, but his flustered state told her what he was trying to say. The moment she understood it, she blushed, and she buried her face in his neck. Arnav understood that Khushi had figured what he was trying to say and felt somewhat relieved that he didn't need to word it out, in fear that his words would come out in such a way that would make him seem like a douchebag.

Arnav placed his hand in Khushi's hair and tilted her head up so that she would look at him. Her cheeks were heated red and Khushi refused to meet his gaze. Arnav couldn't help the blooming feeling in his heart, he really couldn't. He placed a kiss on her heated cheek before capturing her lips with his.

If the moment ever came where the two could be intimate, Arnav vowed that he would make it the most beautiful moment of her life. He would make her forget everything bad that had ever happened to her and only fill her with happiness - so much happiness, that maybe it would help to make Khushi speak again.

And he couldn't wait for the day he would hear his name from her lips again.
