The Bond We Share

part 13

Roads rushed with people in their morning chaos...Men moving for work..Kids going to school and  other crowds filled the small street of Delhi.
At the corner of the road stood shyam manohar jha.He checked his watch to know the time.finally he grabbed the phone from  pockets losing all his patience and  dialed a number.
"Where are u? I've been waiting here since half an hour." Shyam shouted over the phone.
"Sorry sir..I'm on the way stuck in traffic..Just 5 mins.." came the reply.
Shyam ended the call and once more checked his watch.

....
"Aah..." Khushi let out a small cry holding her bump sitting on the bed.
Arnav who was wearing his suit  frowned at her cry and rushed towards her.
"What happened khushi?U okay?"
Khushi:ur baby is kicking me too much.
Arnav let out a chuckle.
Arnav:seems like my baby is playing football .
Khushi:haa..Ask ur baby to stop playing football inside me.
Arnav was enjoying his wife's craziness.
Arnav leaned over keeping his hands on her belly  and said in a small voice that no one can hear -
" hey baby..Plz don't hurt ur mamma...U just wait for some more days and u will be free ,then we both can play football ..But for now be good."
Suddenly khushi felt a small and smooth kick from baby.Arnav smiled feeling his baby kicking.
Khushi:what did u say to ur baby?
Arnav:It's a secret between us.
Khushi: achaa...So u already teamed up with  baby..
Arnav shrugged his shoulders and passed a cheeky smile.
Khushi:i hope that it won't be a junior version of ASR..The arrogant khadoos akdoo laad governor...

Khushi twisted her lips and turned her face away with fake anger.
Arnav: mmm...So my khushi baby is angry with me..
Khushi:yes.
Arnav:what should I do now to convince my queen khushi kumari gupta?
Khushi:ur queen khushi kumari gupta needs lots of jalebi.
Arnav:not again khushi...Since morning u r eating jalebis...
Khushi:ok then...I won't talk with u.
Arnav nodded at his stubborn wife.
Arnav: ok fine..Just 2 jalebis..Ok?
Khushi:no...I want a plate full.
Arnav:2 jalebis....
Khushi: plzzz.....
She looked him with puppy face.
Arnav:no khushi..Eating too much sweet is not good for baby and u.. Plz understand.
Khushi stared at her husband's concerned face.
Khushi:ok...2 jalebis.

Arnav happily agreed and gave a peck on her cheeks.
Arnav:ok khushi..It's time to leave for office... I'll ask payal to bring jalebis to room..I'm leaving...Bye khushi.

Arnav kissed her forehead and baby bump and left to office while khushi sat there watching his retreating figure.
"Hey devimaiiya..protect my arnavji and family from all evil eyes.." she said looking at the mini devimaiyya idol kept on the table beside her.

....

"Sir ..ASR and the others now stays in Mumbai..They started a new business 7 months back . Nandkishore raizada is married to a girl named jiya thakur.and khushi kumaari gupta is 7 months pregnant now." Said the man .

Shyam was keenly hearing all the details regarding arnav and other raizadas from the person he has hired . But the last sentence was difficult for him to accept... khushi kumari gupta is 7 months pregnant...Those words were ringing in his ears.

"Everything is gonna end well My dear saalesaab...Just wait for it..." Shyam said with an evil smirk.

...

"What happened jeeji?U r smiling too much.." khushi asked payal who was sitting on the couch with nani and jiya watching TV.
"Nothing khushi..Just like that..." Payal said with a slight blush on her face.
Jiya:seems like payu bhabhi is dreaming of akki bhai...Isn't it bhabhi?
Jiyas comment made payal blush more.
Nani:haa bitiya... payal bitiya face is blooming too much today...
Nani too joined the team in teasing Payal.
Payal: dadi...Aap  bhi?
Khushi: jeeji..Bolo bolo..What did jeeju do that u r blushing really hard?
Payal:shut up khushi.
"Ooohooooo..." Nani , jiya and khushi together echoed while payal sat there embarrased.

"The car was hit by a truck in the national highway at around 2 pm today.The injured person was taken to the nearby hospital .And we don't have any updates regarding the person." The news reporter said showing the spot of accident and the car.
The raizada ladies  turned their gaze on tv.

"Ooh no..Hope devimaiiya save that person." Nani prayed hearing the news.
"Arnavji....it arnavji's car.." khushi said in a low voice looking into the tv screen.
Jiya, payal and nani turned to khushi and again looked the tv ...Yes it was true...It's arnav's car..All identified the car seeing the number on it..
Khushi blankly stared at it with tear filled eyes while the others where sitting in horror...
