Unfaithful chapter 8

Chapter8: little tummy...little baby

 

-what happen to me??

She was in the washroom; washing her hands when she felt that she’s not well...she holds the wall, her other hand on her tummy…she’s feeling a pain deep inside her…Arnav was there with Armaan, coming to wash their hands…Arnav sawing Khushi’s face…he almost run to her… he takes her hand between his…

Arnav:-Khushi…are you alright?

Armaan:-Kusi?

Khushi:-No…baby…I’m fine…I’m just… (looking at Armaan)

But the pain stops her from telling anything else…she looks at Arnav…like to tell him to calm Armaan…

-Armaan…buddy…go to HP…ok?…go call him!

But Armaan’s eyes are already wet…

Armaan:-Kusiiii

Arnav:-buddy…you’re a man! Isn’t it?

Arnav said while carrying Khushi…

Arnav:-mum is fine…come with us…

Arnav is taking the stairs towards the guest room…carrying Khushi…while little Arnav was following holding his father’s tee-shirt from behind, tightly…

In the room…

Arnav makes her lay on the bed…delicately and Armaan comes to her…to hold her hand…Armaan wasn’t a spoiled child…but seeing his mum like that he lose it…he panicked…exactly like his father…

Arnav was about to call the doctor…when he hears her voice:

-I’m fine…it’s normal…it happens in my case, frequently, doctor said that to me…

Armaan hugs his mum tightly…lying with her on the bed…

Arnav came to them…he admires them…

Khushi caresses her son’s hair…kissing in between his soft hair…

-you don’t have to be worried like that whenever I’m feeling not well…

Armaan nodded…khushi hugs him side hug…kissing all over his forehead…

Arnav sits to take off Armaan shoes…

Armaan hugs his mum more tightly…feeling that his father will carry him to his room, also…and he wanted to stay with his Kusi and with his Arnaf…he closes his eyes…pretending he’s sleeping…he always act like this when he wants to stay and spend the night sleeping in between his parents… Arnav smirks and Khushi smiles…both know about their child strategy…

They look at each other…and the happy expression in their faces vanished…

Arnav was wondering…

If he lied then…???

If he stays with both of them?? Then what will Khushi’s reaction be…

He doesn’t want her to be stressed…

Sawing her pale face…her eyes saying too much to him…

Last thing he wanna do tonight is hurting her, again…not tonight…

But that little naughty boy has his hand holding tightly his mother…and the other hand holding tightly Arnav’s hand…

Arnav thinks a little…

And then…without letting off the tiny hand…he lied in the bed…

Keeping his eyes on Khushi…

Avoiding his intense gaze Khushi looks down to see the innocent face of Armaan…

Arnav takes a deep breath…and his breath tickled Khushi’s face that moment…she was bringing to look up at him…like by reflection…

For the first time, after 4 months, his breath touches her face…he’s so close…only Armaan, so tiny is in between…half hiding on his mum…

Arnav has his eyes on her…he seems not ready to take them off of her…

Armaan was now sleeping like an angel…after being sure his mother and father were by his side…

Arnav then whispered:

-tomorrow is…

-his birthday…(Khushi’s expression transformed…she looks at Armaan angelic face and caresses his hair, again…)

Arnav covers Armaan’s body with the blanket and then the entire blanket covered the three of them…they get loosen under it…the three of them…

Armaan still a hand with his mum…

A hand holding his father’s hand…

The embrace still tight even when he’s sleeping peacefully now…

********

Flashbacks:

Little Armaan with his teddy bear:

-(sobs)…nightmaaare…(sobs)…kus…

Arnav with bare chest left Khushi’s arms and runs to his little boy standing in the door…

His room was next their room and whenever he’s scared…he comes running to them…

Knocks the door once and stands sobbing…

He still a baby…so tiny…but Arnav wanted him to get familiar to sleep in his own bed…all the light is on…

Khushi…confused…adjusted her nightie…

Minutes back…Arnav was trying to take it all off…

Thanks god…thanks god…they just start kissing and…

Otherwise…she doesn’t know what will happen…with a stubborn husband and a tiny baby crying…

What she liked the most is when Armaan is calm down, when he comes to their bedroom, forgetting his bad nightmare in their big bed and seeing them…he stops crying immediately….

Arnav makes him lie totally on him…on his chest…and make Khushi’s body half on him too…he looks at her desperately and then at Armaan…who is in heaven now…safely with them…

They sleep always like that…when Armaan has only 2 years old…

The mum and his little angel on the top of him…he liked it when he felt that both needs him and his protection…when khushi crushed against him…posing her head on his shoulder…while Armaan’s head in on his chest…and then of course after one hour of sleeping the position changed and Armaan will hug his mum and then Arnav will get closer and hug his son and then Armaan will be between both of them…

Some nights…Armaan can lie all his tiny body on the top of the both of them…

It ended, some nights too…into…Arnav in Khushi’s arms and Armaan totally out…in Arnav’s side…or it can ends with Arnav totally out and he can falls out of the bed if Khushi and Arman start their taekowondo sleep…

End of flashbacks

*******

Khushi is sleeping…

Armaan too…was now sleeping…

Only Arnav was looking at them…

He was thinking but he was also a little worried that Armaan who has an agitated sleep…could move or by fault hit Khushi…Armaan starts already moving here and there…

Arnav couldn’t any more…worried…he takes Armaan in his arms…hugs him and sleeps with him…while his eyes are all for khushi….

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

In Payal’s apartment…

Payal was waiting for Akash to come…she gives him the address…and wanted him to come…as she has so many things to say and to reveal to him…

She wanted to meet him in a coffee shop but it was too late…both are working and both finish late…she decides to meet him in her apartment and he agreed…

Finally, she heard the ring…

She opens…

A charming man with boxes of pizza on his hand…

Akash:-I guess you didn’t have your dinner yet?

Payal:-Hi! I hate Pizza!

She was lying…she adores Pizza and didn’t have her dinner yet…

But seeing him like this…so confident…she wanted to make him lose it!

Akash:-good! I thought about it…what about cheese burger? (he said showing a bug in the other hand)

She looks up…she pulled back to let him enter:

Payal-we are here to talk!...not to have fun!

Akash:-fun?...we will just eat!

Payal:-coffee?

Akash:-dinner?

-I had already my dinner!

-you’re just back from work!

-you’re so…you think you know everything?!....ok, sit, let’s talk first!

Payal told Akash about everything Khushi said to her…about the marriage and how his father was the reason if Khushi is in fault…how she wanted to say the truth but she was worried she will lost Arnav…the love of her life and how Arnav was so in love, also…

Payal told everything about what she knows…and Akash promises he will talk with Arnav and makes him understand…

Payal:-ok! Good night, now!

-what? And the dinner?

-oh! ok! Sure I will eat!

-but I mean…I thought we will eat together…

-but it’s too late!

-but…

When Payal felt he’s desperate…she finally agreed:

-fine! Ok!

They have their dinner when it was almost midnight…

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

Morning: RM:

What a morning!

What a morning for Khushi…

When she opens her eyes…

She doesn’t believe it…

She thought…she’s dreaming…

She’s sleeping…

She was in his arms…

Arnav…

Protective arms…

The palm of his hand on her tummy…

His chest welcoming her back…

He was hugging her from behind…

Not only this…

His leg…

Dear god….

In between her legs…

She felt it…

And it’s enough to make all her body on fire…

First reflection…

She wanted to get up from that dream and gets out from the artificial heaven…

He’s thinking she’s unfaithful…she married him for his money…

And he’s thinking that by being unfaithful to her…he will punish her…

She’s hurt and can’t forgive him for that…

She was about to do it and leave his arms violently…

When she saw another beautiful scene before her eyes…

Armaan was there…on the big bed…

Using his colors pens on some papers…

He saw that his mum is opening her eyes…

And just smile and comes closer…

He whispered:

-morning Kusi…sssshhh…Arnaf sleeping…

As an angel…he kisses his mother’s cheek…

He shows her his drawing paper…

Where a mother, father and a little boy is in a garden and there is a little house…

Khushi whispered:

-so beautiful…my hero…you’re a sweetheart…

He shows her another where a woman and a man are drawing…

Khushi keeps looking at it…Armaan explains to her:

-you and Arnaf sleeping…

-but did my hair looks blue?

Khushi smiles …

-No…but blue is my favorite color…

Armaan answers innocently and Khushi laughs from her heart…

-ok…and what’s this?

-it’s my ball…

-what’s your ball is doing here?

-I draw things I love the most!

-achaa? And why you’re so so so yummy and cute?

Armaan gives her a huge smile…

Khushi was about to move to hug him but Arnav?? She thought…when she heard his voice…

Arnav:-good morning!

He said looking at Armaan…

Arnav in that atmosphere of Khushi in his arms and Armaan on the bed with them…and his sleepy state…he still unconscious that he’s holding his wife, so tight, acting normally…like nothing is happening…

It’s only when he felt Khushi is moving in his arms…a little…her hand touching his hand on her tummy to remove it…he then gets conscious…

But the moment she wanted him to remove his hand from there…

He gets, suddenly, frustrated…

He wanted his hand there…on her tummy and she has no right to remove it…

His child is also there and he wanted to stay so close to him…

It ‘s his right…his legitimate right…

He keeps his hand there…and Khushi’s tries to remove and to gets up are just a lost!

She can’t make any wild move before Armaan…

She keeps smiling…

When under the blanket…a silent hands fight is starting…

Arnav:-show me what did you draw, buddy?

While with his hands he just makes her closer from him…

He has her back against his chest…and no space even for air to enter…

Armaan shows his father the picture with the house and the little family and starts explaining:

Armaan:-that’s Kusi…this is Arnaf and me…our house…

He said proudly…

Arnav:-so good! But…someone is missing in here!

Armaan:-HP?

-no!

-Nani!

-no!

-Garima nani?

-no!

-grand pa

-no!

-aunty?

-no!

-dadi?

-no!

-teacher?

-no!

-shyam uncle?

-false!

-then…mami!

-no!

-who?...I don’t know…

Armaan pouted his little lips…

-Khushi will tell…

-who kusi?

-he’s inside her tummy!

-tummy?

Arnav nodded...

Armaan starts to understand…he looks at his mum…and then at her tummy…he knows babies grow up in mother’s tummy…like Anjeli aunty…she has a baby inside her…

Khushi was planning to tell Armaan but was thinking about the way she will tell him…and Arnav what she will do about it…. but Arnav has a way to tell things softly and has always a manner to tell things…she forgets about the hands fight and looks now at Armaan’s reaction…

She so wanted to tell Arnav that when she knew about it and saw his reaction but she couldn’t…now, at least she wanted to assist on this…

Khushi:-I’m…I have a baby inside me…my sweetheart…your brother or maybe your sister!

Armaan’s brown eyes started opening widely…Arnav was amused...time for the big show...

His mouth formed a perfect O…exactly like his mum when she gets surprised…

-Kusi!

He yelled in a joyful voice…

-Kusi...my brother? he asked his mum...Khushi smiles and answers:

-or your sister!

-she will play with me?

-of course!

-and…and…the baby is tiny now…inside you?

-yes! He’s tiny!

Arnav confirmed:-so tiny!

Khushi wanted to get up, to sit in the bed…and Arnav allowed her to do so….

He helps her…putting a pillow behind her back…

Armaan starts jumping in the bed….clapping and smiling to his parents…

-when the tiny baby will come?

-soon!

Armaan was about to jump on his mother but Arnav said suddenly:

-careful…careful…look the baby is just here…

It was Arnav chance to touch the way he wants

 days before, he couldn't do anything and now…a chance...

All the night his palm is on her and now he’s caressing her belly…without any retain…and Armaan puts his tiny hand also…delicately there…

-want to kiss your brother?..you can kiss gently…like this…

Arnav leaned and kiss Khushi’s tummy…Khushi was shocked…what he was doing, before Armaan?? What he wanted, doing that????...she do know he wanted to be close of the baby…but like this?...he's so close and so soft...

Armaan kissed also…so happy and excited…

Armaan:-my brother can hear me?

Arnav:-of course he can…when you’re inside…I always talk to you and you like it!

-when I’m baby , inside???

Armaan was more fascinated…

-yes…and I put my ear like this to hear you…

Arnav leaned again to hear the new baby…and Armaan was fighting for some space also…

Khushi before them…

She couldn’t do anything…

She knew Arnav is mad about those things…related to his babies…he hated children, usually but his babies…he adores…the proof was Armaan and now…that little life inside her…

When she has Armaan…he doesn’t stop this…

Talking with him…hearing him…

And even now, he’s using Armaan to do the same…

Despite everything…

She gave up…

She lets them the two heads on her tummy…

she caresses Armaan's hair...she so wanted to do the same with Arnav's hair...

They are gentle…and both so happy like this and even Khushi is starting to forget everything...she's so happy, now….amused about her two men…the men of her life…

In her heart she wanted a daughter now…she wanted a princess that with her she can form a  band like this…like those two…

Armaan:-I hear it!

Arnav gets up, smirking, that Armaan hearing Khushi starving tummy, thought he’s the baby:

-yes…I thought the baby is so hungry, let’s take breakfast!
