What is Love

What is Love-Part 11 to 15

As Khushi woke up the following morning,she felt extremely light and happy.Truth be said,she was feeling excited for the previous day,the family members forgave her and Arnav.Finally the distance that had been there since their marriage will soon be eliminated.

Finding that she has woken up earlier than usual,Khushi thought of why not starting her duties from that day itself.She went to take her bath quickly making almost no noise lest Arnav wakes up and gets her to sleep again.

But unfortunately by the time she was going out of the room,Arnav had woken up due to her habit of being clumsy as her foot got stuck under the rug while walking and as a result she had bumped right onto the closed door.

Ar:Itni subah subah kahan jaa rahi ho Khushi?Come and sleep back again. (Where are you going so early in the morning?)

He said sleepily.

Kh:Sorry,I woke you up.Actually I was going downstairs.Humein neend nahin aaraha tha. (I was not feeling sleepy.)

Ar:Ok,tum jao.Mein bhi jogging ke liye jaa raha hoon.Kuch dinon se time na milne ke wajah se main nahin gaya. (Am going for jogging.Have not been able to go since some days.)

Kh:Theek hain,hum chalte hain.

And he just nodded.

As she came down,Khushi noticed that no one had yet woken up and she set to arrange everything needed for aarti in the Pooja thal and after offering her prayers to Devi Maiyya,she went to prepare breakfast.

By the time she was almost finished with preparing breakfast,Arnav had already returned back home from jogging and instead of going to his room,he came to the kitchen.

Finding her totally engrossed in her work,he took a bottle of chilled water and and seated himself on the kitchen slab besides the stove to make Khushi aware of his presence in the kitchen.

Kh:Aap kab aaye? (When did u come?)

Ar:Abhi abhi.Kya bana rahi ho? (Just now.What are you preparing?)

Kh:Badam wali kheer.

Ar:Wow Kheer.Mujhe bahut pasand hain.Khushboo toh bahut achhi aarahi hain. (I love it.There's a nice aroma.)

And he came forward and inhaled the aroma.

Kh:Aap abhi khayenge?Humne aap ke liye pehle se hi alag kar diya tha. (Will u eat now?I had already kept some separated for you.)

Arnav just nodded.

As soon as she gave him the bowl of Kheer,without wasting any time he took a spoonful and was about to put in his mouth when Khushi stopped him,

Ar:What the! Leave my hand,I have to eat the Kheer.

And he started trying to take her hands off his which Khushi had held tightly

Kh:Humein bhi shauk nahin hain aapka haath pakadne ka.Kheer ab bhi garam hain.Aapka mooh jaljaata toh.Dijiye.  (Even am not interested to hold ur hand.The kheer is still hot.What if u burnt ur mouth? Give.)

Arnav looked at her sheepishly and Khushi took the bowl from his hand and started blowing the Kheer and fed him a spoon.

Ar:Wow,yeh to bahut achha hain,Maa bhi bilkul aise hi banaake khilaati thi. (This is so good.Maa also used to prepare and feed me like this.)

Understanding his emotions as someone who has lost her parents as well,she said

Kh:Koi baat nahin.Hum hain na,jab aapka mann ho aap humein bataa dijiye,hum aapke liye aise hi kheer bana ke khikayenge.Ab theek hain na? (Don't worry,am here.Whenever u want,I will prepare and feed you like this.Is it fine now?)
