At 2.30 they reached to the airport, Arnav help her with luggage's & both completed the other formalities & took bye from their families.
In the plan Khushi was getting scared, as she always hv this fear & it stays till the plan don't start to fly in the sky, seeing her so tensed & disturbed Arnav looked at her & asked whats the matter & she said bout her prob & he laughed
Arnav: bas itni si baat? Don't worry main hoo na? do u trust me?
She nod innocently & said yes , then hold my hands,& she holds , he put one of his hand on hers & then asked her to look into his eyes & then they start talking he was making her laugh, talking about his childhood & all & she didn't realize whn the plan took off, slowly he left her hand & tht was the time whn she got to knw tht the plane is on the sky she was really surprisd the way he handle her, she didn't get panic for a while, then he said, im feeling too sleepy as timely  airport me ane k liye I was so worried k didn't sleep so if u don't mind ll sleep now,
Khushi : yeah sure, he covered his face with a cloth & fall a slep while Khushi was staring at him with amazed! Thinking how can anyone b so nice & down to earth, she already feeling lucky to have him in her life.
The plane landed to the U.K airport next day evening, as they went out of the airport after completing the formalities, as they step out from the airport, Khushi's eyes wr wide open as a whole new world is waiting for her, where the roads, places & people were totally unknown except one & that was Arnav, she was feeling nervous so many questions where running into her mind, like how her life will b here with him & how she ll manage, etc & due to her nervousness unconsciously she hold Arnav's arm tight, which make him look at her & he can easily feel tht how nervous she was so hi put his hand on her & assure with his eyes that he is there to help her out, she felt lil better & smiled a little, soon they got into a cab & by one hour reach to Arnav's flat.
As he open the door, Khushi was very impressed to see, it was neat & clean, all things wr at its place, which make her felt, he is very much organized & like to b in discipline. The flat wasn't  big it contain only one bed room, & a big hall & dining area along with a open kitchen,but was enough place for 2 people to live in comfort. Arnav help Khushi with her bags & then took her to their bed room, he kept the suitcases aside & went to his cupboard
Arnav: please feel at home, & I will make place here to keep urstuffs
Khushi: no its ok, u don't hv to do all this I will manage, he look & her & give a look like Really? How, then he could understand that she wasn't feeling comfortable so he went to ward her & make her sit in the bed, she felt lil nervous at first & he start talking
Arnav: I know yeh sab tumhare liye naya hai, aur kuch had tak mere liye bhi, and I bring u into this house after getting married to u, so ab se ye ghar jitna mera hai utna tumhara bhi, yaha k har chiz pe humare 50/50 right hai & smile & that make Khushi to smile as well.
He added, I don't know how long it will take for us to get along, but don't think that in this relation, as a girl u have to make the maximum compromises & do the scarifies, u just try to be urself & do tell what u like or what not ok ? & I will let u knw about mine
His words wr working like magic to her, she never thought she will get someone like him in her life, she was so happy tht her happiness came out as tears, & he wiped them off & said
Arnav: maine to yeh sab kaha tha tumhare nervousness ko kam karne k liye tum to senti hogai , now smile J& she smile back
Arnav: good, ok u get freshen up till I arrange the place to keep ur stuff
Khushi: ok
As she went to the washroom, he continued to make place in the cupboard, in the washroom, Khushi was having difficulty to turn on the water tab, she tried for few times & then call Arnav to fix it,
Khushi: Arnavji, can u check this water tab? I cant open it,
Arnav: ok, wait im coming,
Both were in the washroom, the washroom was big enough  bothwhere closer to the shower, Arnav also tried but failed & said
Arnav: lagta hai bohat din band to to jam hogaya, saying this he pressed tht tab hard & suddenly it start watering, both got wet completely, as the water force was high it got to go difficult to close it at once, main while Khushi lose her balance due to the water in the tiles & about to slip when Arnav hold her frm waist, his hand where wrapping her waist  for support she placed her hands on his shoulder, their eye fall on each other & it seems tht they went to another world, they keep staring while Arnav getting closer & more closer, Khushi was getting scared,soon he reach to the tab blocking Khushi with his arm,while looking at her only then, slowly get hold on the tab & turn it of, by this time both got fully drenched & Khushi's dress bcom transparent! Which make her feel embarrassed, Arnav took the towel from cloth stand & wrap it around her & said,
Arnav: im sorry, u jst get wipe urself or get else ( cut by khushi )
Khushi: ap bhi to gile hogaye hai, u also might get cold
Arnav: don't worry I will change in room, u jst carry on
Khushi: thanks ,she said softly
Outside he got another towel & take off his shirt to wipe off his body, when she entered & jst look another side, but for a sec she check out him frm the corner of her eyes & her cheeks got red due to shyness she said,
Khushi: Im sorry!
Only then she realized she came out he said
Jst took his stuffs & said don't b &
went to washroom crossing her, as he passed by him she felt her heart skips a bit but y its happening, it was so awkward she isn't getting so to change her mind, she thought to look around the house, which is now her also, she saw there is a balcony attached with his room , she went there & saw so many plants, there were different types of plant, & some flower plants too, Khushi was admiring the beauty of nature, when he came from the back & said,
Arnav: beautiful!
For a sec Khushi was got nervous & then he cont
Arnav: aren't the plants look beautiful
Khushi: yeah
Arnav: actually mujhe nature bohat pasand hai thts y kept some plants
Khushi: that's nice! Mujhe bhi nature bohat pasand hai, both smile
Later that night he said,
Arnav: Khushi I hv ordered a Pizza for our dinner, as I thought we came from a journey so must b tired to prepare dinner. R u ok with it? Or I should order something else?
Khushi: no, im fine with it J
After finishing their dinner, its time to get some sleep, Khushiwasn't sure how & what ll happen as yday it was their first night but that day Arnav wasn't spend the night in the room as he need to do some work b4 leaving India, but tonight? What will happen? Will he act like the typical husband & want her to give his right, her all thought vanishes, when he arranged bed for her & took his pillow & a blanket & said,
Arnav: I guess u wont b comfortable sharing a bed so u sleep her & I will sleep in the hall, she was completely touched by his gesture, she knew that he was a gentle man but she cant imagine him to b so nice & kind, she was completely overwhelmed & at the same time felt sad as due to her he has to do so many things moreover she saw tht sofa in the living wasn't tht big that he will b able to sleep comfortably so she decide to volunteer, she hold & said
Khushi: few hours ago u said tht this house belongs to us now & har chis k hum 50-50 partners hai so in this case bed bhi 50-50?? So u don't hv to sleep in living
Arnav was amazed to heard this so for reassurance he asked
Arnav: R u sure ? u r ok with it? Meri fikar mat karna I ll manage
Khushi: Arnavji we r married to each other, it's a lifetime commitment, if we had promised  to share our whole life to ek bed to share kar hi sakte hai? Right?
He was really impressed by her reply he jst smiled & slept on the bed keeping some distance in between both wish good night to each other showing their back to each other & fall in deep sleep
Next day 8.15 am in the morning, Khushi slowly open her eyes & saw Arnav wasn't their then she looked at the clock & it was showing 8.15 !! Khushi felt she got late to woke up so she rush to see the kitchen & saw Arnav was completely ready for office & almost done with preparing breakfast,
Guilt hit in Khushi's mind she tell to herself,"Khushi what u did yaar! U cant give him love at least ek achi wife k duty hi pure karleti, the guy sis so nice & sweet to u & u!! stupid girl
Khushi (coming toward the kitchen & taking the pan from him): im so so sorry  woh pata nehi kaise ank nehi khuli basically I wok up by 7 par aj hi late hona tha, she keep saying & Arnavcould understand her tension he jst hold her by shoulder & put his finger on her lips, she bcom surprised!!
Arnav: bol liye? Ab suno, its ok u dnt hv to give any explaination for it! I cn understand yaar!
