Prem Ki Naiya hai Ram ke bharose

An Unexpected Guest

flashbacks in brackets

They had returned from the hotel half an hour ago, everyone had retired to their respective rooms because it has been a tiring day for all. Khushi was changing in the washroom, while Arnav was pacing in the room. He was hell nervous, because technically this was the first night that they were going to share the room, he hadn't thought about it till few minutes ago, but when she went to change, he realized that till now they haven't been in the same room during the night, let alone sleeping on the same bed.

"what I'm going to do now?" he wondered, he wasn't going to sleeping in another room or ask her for the same, plus they couldn't due to his family, but he wasn't even sure if they can share the bed, even if they were friends now

"but she's a woman"

"which happens to be your wife"

"what if she doesn't feel comfortable"

That was a hell of problem, after pacing for other good five minutes he concluded "I'll take the recliner" when his eyes fall on the recliner in the room "I want her to feel comfortable"

When Khushi come out of the bathroom, changed in a two-piece of silk pajamas, a very comfortable one, she found the room deserted, before she could think about his whereabouts, she saw him sitting in the garden, lost in his own thoughts.

"thanks" she said reaching him

"for what?" he said looking up at her curiously

"I know you don't like dancing" she said with a matter of fact tone "did you took lessons" she asked curiously

"Why you feel so?" he got up and looked at her intently

"you dance well" she blushed lightly

"my sister thinks that she knows me" he said moving closed to her "but in some matters she fails badly" he whispered near her ear before going back to the room. Khushi felt a tingling sensation when his breath touched the skin of her neck.

"I'll take the recliner" he said, when she closed the French-door after stepping inside the room, sounding maybe a little too strict than he intended to be

"You sure" she said seeing him adjusting the pillow on the recliner

"Raizada feels uncomfortable sharing the bed"

"Yeah! don't worry" he replied calmly, she nodded and moved to the bed and started adjusting the duvet and the pillows "you really thought that I and Vicky" she trailed off and turned to look at him.

"damn" he mentally imprecated "here I was thinking she forgot it" seems like he claimed victory too soon.

"At Riddhima's sangeet he almost proposed you and then I saw him crying after hearing about our wedding" he said after clearing his throat, looking everywhere except her.

"Oh that, it was just for the song" she said sitting on the bed with one leg dangling from it and the other one folded "when you saw him crying?" she raised her brows questionably. Arnav told her about their Mendi when after leaving her house, had to return there to collect Riddhima's phone and had found him clinging on her and crying almost desperately.

"I know" she said putting his back "maybe next time will be luckier" she added broking the embrace ]]____
