Arnav to WFH

Arnavji how can you ask such questions to the doctor shamelessly

Khushi I care for you to be safe. I cannot put and the baby to risk.

Is getting intimate so important to you?

Khushi asked with sadness in her eyes

Khushi if you don't want me to, I will respect that. But you have to understand that it is natural to have desires even when we are having a baby. And as the doctor said it is ok for us to have sex as long as you don't tire yourself. But I will leave that up to you and I will respect your decision like I always have. I will never force myself on you. I just want you and the baby to be happy and safe.

Khushi couldn't help bt feel the love on his voice. Her mind went back to the time when. Arnav agreed to wait till they get married with all rituals. However, they did end up have a moment of passion 1 day before the wedding. Even though it was against all the sanskar she had always followed. But it just felt so right. She never regretted it.

Khushi

She is brought back to present to her husband's concerned look.

Khushi, I don't want to to stress over something like this. I love you and I know next few months will be difficult for you. I promise whatever you want I will follow that as long as it doesn't hurt you.

Khushi smiled this man who loved she loved to moon and back. Absorbing what he had just said, she thought of something naughty

Matlab hum kahenge woh kuch bhi na. Thik hai. Toh sunye aapko kya karna hai
(Anything I say? Ok listen then)

Arnav instantly knew she is going to start with a list of tasks for him. But he was ready to do anything to make this pregnancy easy on Khushi.

Aapko mujhe hafte mein ek baar golgappe khilane hai. Din mein ek baar jalebi. Naste mein roz aloo puri. Raat ko roz ice cream. Sunday ko salman khan ki picture with popcorn. And aap kal se delivery tak ghar se kaam karenge.
(I want to eat panipuri once a week. Jalebi twice a day. Breakfast daily aloo puri. Ice cream every night. Every Sunday movie with popcorn. And you will work from home till the delivery)

Khushi took a deep breath after her monologue. She knew he would agree to her condition except the last one. Arnav loved his work there is no way he can stay home for 8 months.

Arnav considers her demands for a moment. Then nods

Thik hai bt ek condition mujhe manjur nai
( Ok but one condition I cannot agree to)

Khushi knew which one

Ice cream roz khane se tum bimar pad jaugi. Woh main allow nai kar sakta
( If you eat ice cream daily you will get sick. I will not allow that)

Khushi is shocked that he agreed to leave his work for her sake

Arnavji hum mazak kar rahe the. Aap itne mahine bina office jaye kaise rahenge nai nai hum humari shart wapas lete hai
( I was kidding. You cannot work from home)

Arnav smiles sweetly at his wife. She can be childish in one moment and mature in another

Tum nai bhi kehti toh bhi main yahin karne wala tha. Main ghar se hi kaam karne wala hu tumhari delivery tak. Di bhi nai hai and Akash Payal bhi. Naniji itna nai sambhal sakti. Actually... Meri pagal biwi ko mere alawa koi nai sambhal sakta. Samjhi meri Sankadevi
( I was going to do it myself. There is no one home. Nani is cannot handle you. Actually no one but me can handle my crazy wife)

Bt aapka kaam (but your work)

Uski tum tension mat lo main study mein sab setup kar lunga. Waise bhi video conferencing se kaam ho jata hai
(You don't worry I will set up in the study. As it is everything can be done on video conferencing)

Khushi is still not convinced and feels bad about making him do this. Starting with small sobs she starts crying loudly.

Arnav gets started seeing her cry so loudly.

Khushi kya hua. Tumhe kahin dard ho raha hai? Doctor k pass jate hai chalo jaldi
(What happened? Are you in any pain? Let's go to the doctor)

Nai dard nai ho raha bura lag raha hai. K meri sanak k wajah se aapko ghar pe baith k mujhpe nazar rakhni padti hai
( No I am not in pain I am feeling bad about being so crazy that you have to work from home and keep an eye on me,)

Arnav cannot help laughing at her cute innocent face.

Khushi. Kisne kahan yeh tumhare liye kar raha hu. Main businessman hu aapne fayda har chiz mein dekhta hu. Agar mein ghar pe rakhunga toh tumhari tension nai hogi. Tension nai hui toh kaam mein maan laga rahega. Toh yeh kabhi mat sochna k yeh main tumhare liye kar raha hu.
(Who told you I am doing this for you. I am a business man I only do things with profit. If I stay home I can focus on work and not worry about you. So never think I am doing this for you. I am doing this for myself)

Khushi thinks for a moment and then buys his explanation.

Arnavji mujhe bohot excitement ho rahi hai. Kuch hi mahino mein humare haath mein ek chota sa bacha hoga. Jo bilkul meri tarah jalebi khayega
( I am too excited. In a few months we will have our baby. Who will eat jalebi  like me)

Arnav gives her a disgusted look. But then smiles imagining a cute kids holding jalebis.

I love you Khushi. I am so happy we are starting this new journey as parents

I love you to Arnavji!
