"Now what happened?? Why are you silent??", asked Arnav with concern seeing the opposite version of his usually chirpy wife. She was keeping unwanted silent between them and he knew there were other additional things playing in her mind apart from her doubt "Are we ready??"Hearing him, she turned her head. Her fingers stopped playing with her own bangles around her wrist. Frown line on her forehead did not disturb him because that was something he never wanted to see on her face, her tension!! Fighting with her innerself all alone, not sharing with 

him. He actually hated that.

Squeezing her palm in her lap, Arnav raised his brow once again gesturing her to convey him anything that troubles her. She sighed deep, leaning towards him, she touched her cheek with his shoulder and rested her head there.

"How are we going to tell all Arnavji??"

"How, means??"

"I meant.. What will they think?? Muskan is so young and we are having another??"

He did not say anything and then stopped the car by roadside. Khushi raised her head and looked at him.

"Wait.. What do we mean by saying that?? We will have a baby Khushi, we are not going to murder someone that others will think us culprit!!"

"This is why.. This is why I was not telling you.. You just don't understand anything sometime or just try not to understand anything at all!! You know what, now just don't ask me anything!! I want to go home.. Please hurry!!", making sad face, she turned her head away and looked outside through window. Arnav shook his head and tried to hold her hand when she just brushed away his touch clearly showing she was not going to hear a single word!! Arnav was amused, why was she behaving so weird?? And what was the point of becoming so tensed for this purpose?? She was taking everything seriously and in a totally different way!! And upon this, she had already decided not to hear him at all.

He knew his energy and time would go in vain because sometime his wife behaves extremely stubbornly even beyond his ways to pacify her. So he decided to give her sometime and talk once they reached home.

He started the car again, but before than leaned towards her planting a soft kiss on her temple though she showed no sign of returning to him. But he knew his wife was becoming emotional and it's ok sometime!! He did not demand anything and drove away.

**********************

Arnav decided not to announce anything after reaching home, he thought to give her time to make herself realize when they should declare "their happy news". Another baby on way, even this thought just tickled him!! The feeling was exactly same and tempting when he heard the news of Muskan's arrival. He was thinking before, if ever they have second baby then his excitement level will go down but he was proved wrong and he was happy that he was proved wrong. Another little life, a little life sharing his and his Khushi's love was going to join them. He was simply happy and he wanted to show his happiness to her, to his wife, kissing her, hugging her!! But seeing her and her foul mood he restricted himself. No worries, he will make sure to make her pay double when she will be out of her foul mood!!Smirk on his lips caught Akash's attention who was just passing by. Akash paused and turned around..

"Bhai??"

Arnav stopped hearing his cousin, he was on his way to his room. Khushi had already left for room, but he was stuck with a phone call, so now he was going alone!!

"Yes, Akash.."

But that sign of fatherly bliss was not leaving him and his face screamed that though he tried to maintain a neutral attitude. Akash reached near him.."Anything happened??"
