Realizing his folly Arnav took crying kushi in his embrace.
Both of them stayed in silence for a while. Kushi feeling sad for his words and Arnav deeply contemplating on how to pacify Kushi and make her understand why he said those things.
Finally breaking the silence Arnav spoke
You know Kushi how fortunate I am?
Kushi raised her head and looked at his face in confusion( still laying in his embrace). She is expecting a sorry or some explanation for his previous words but now he is so proudly announcing how fortunate he is, for what for getting a wife like her who is still lying in his embrace even after all the hurtful things he told not just now but from the starting of this alliance instead of kicking him out or packing her bags and going to her mayka?
Seeing her immersed in deep thoughts Arnav only answered
Yes, you are right I am feeling very very fortunate to get a wife like you
Hearing Arnav, Kushi's eyes went wide like a saucer. How did he know what I am thinking? Immediately she narrowed her eyes like throwing accusations at him
Don't be so amazed Kushi, your eyes are very expressive. I can clearly read them. They always tell me what you are thinking.
She immediately closed her eyes cursing him inside her heart
Donkey monkey, stupid, idiot rascal, waste fellow, laad governor, ha why don't I know any cuss words? I will google them later. Ha I will learn very very bad words. No no there aren't any words that can describe this laad governor, let me only make new new cuss words just for him. Monster kaheka
Arnav was amused at her childish behavior. Though she closed her eyes still her face is showing all her inner emotions. Unable to control anymore he gave a loud kiss on her cheek
This broke Kushi's reverie and she looked at him accusingly with tears glistening in her eyes and repeated his own words
Don't you have any shame to kiss me like this?
This made him sad thinking of the hurt he made her go through but composing himself he told
No, why should I be shameful to kiss my wife? You are my wife and I am your husband I can kiss you ( he kissed her on both cheeks) I can hug you ( and tightened the hug they were already in and dipped his face in the crook of her neck) and whispered very huskily I can do much more things to you, you know
Kushi got shocked hearing him very openly declaring his right on her as her husband. Much more than that she is shocked by his actions. Feeling his hot breath touching a very sensitive place on her body Kushi felt goosebumps erupting on her whole body. On top of that his words and actions are not at all helping her but make her feel some foreign feelings in her body.
Not realizing what he is doing Arnav tightened the hug much more and started peppering kisses on her neck and shoulders while expressing his heart
I am so sorry Kushi. I have hurt you so many times with my behavior still you always forgave me and made me understand to see things clearly. Today I crossed all the limits. I am so so sorry my dear. My intention is not to hurt you but just I thought you will fight with me and you will exercise your rights on me as my wife. I didn't know you will take it to your heart and cry like this, otherwise I wouldn't have told all those things to you
He lifted his head and cupped her face in his both hands and spoke so lovingly to her
You are an angel in my life Kushi. Since you entered my life you only filled happiness in my life. I was so lost in my own so called sufferings and unnecessarily wasting my life immersed in darkness and sorrow. But you came like a rainbow and filled my life with so many colors like happiness, cheerfulness, playfulness, naughtiness and most importantly how to be a better human being.
Do you think I will dare to make the person, who taught me how to be really happy, cry like this? The day I make you cry purposefully will be the end of my life ku.....
He was abruptly stopped by Kushi's hand on his mouth
Don't speak like that.
He smiled at this caring person in his embrace with much more love in his heart. How come he is so fortunate to get such a golden hearted girl as his wife
Kissing her palm which is on his mouth he took her hand in to his one hand and while tracing her cheek with the other hand he spoke with all the love in his heart
Thank you so much Kushi for entering into my life and making me so fortunate to have a wife like you. In any relationship it requires equal effort from both the spouses to make the marriage successful. I know in this relationship you only did the whole part inspite of my least interest in this relationship.
Thank you very much for being so patient with me and tolerating all my arrogance.
Thank you for being so kind in understanding my inner turmoils and confusion and giving me my space and not rushing things
Thank you for being such a good friend to not give me any slack and telling it so straight forwardly on my face where I am going wrong any correcting all my miss conceptions
Thank you for being there for me whenever I feel low and confused to show me the right direction and giving me the confidence that you are there for me
Thank you for bringing that inner child in me where I am so carefree with you not worrying about anything in the world
Thank you for marrying me Kushi,and I don't think I can thank you enough for bringing our relationship to this level of comfortableness. If it's someone else in your place they would have just left me to my fate and I would still be stuck in my past sulking somewhere.
Thank you for being that ray of happiness in my life and making me come out of darkness and introducing a new me to myself. Thank you.
Kushi was so touched hearing his heartfelt thank yous. More than his words the sincerity and appreciation for her that held in his eyes touch her heart much more. Unable to compose herself she just hugged him so strongly which is equally reciprocated by Arnav
No need to thank me Arnav. This institution of marriage is so beautiful that it can even make two strangers into soulmates. What I did is nothing because I always believed that in marriage either both of us win or both of us fail. There's nothing like you win and I fail or you fail and I win. So how can I just see both of us failing without giving what's all in us to make this marriage work? Moreover you are such an understanding husband who understood me and given your own efforts to make this marriage work. So thank you to you too
Saying this she kissed him on his forehead followed by his both cheeks
To make the atmosphere lighter and to change the topic he again uttered the same infamous words
Haww! How can you just kiss me like that? Don't you have any shame?
But this time Kushi took it in a sportive way and to his delight she replied
Why? Why should I feel ashamed to kiss my own husband that too in such a private place like in our own bedroom? Haq banta hai mera to kiss you hug you and do much more than that. Samjhe aapne.....
Saying this she kissed his whole face and at last getting a little courage she looked directly into his eyes and quickly pecked his lips and hid herself in his chest.
Arnav was already lost in lala land hearing her exercising her right on him and then her peppering kisses all over his face. But what he didn't except was that quick peck on his lips. Feeling her soft rosy lips on his rough ones he froze for a second but quickly coming out of shock he nudged Kushi to look at him.
But Kushi being Kushi she didn't even budge. She suddenly felt so shy to look at Arnav so she just stayed in his embrace gluing her face to his chest. So not having any other option, Arnav flipped their positions. Now kushi laying beneath Arnav.
Understanding his intentions Kushi just wound her hands around his neck and tightened the hug so that she could avoid showing her face but our Arnav is no less so he started kissing on her neck.
Feeling his lips on her neck tingled Kushi's senses. She started breathing heavily and automatically her clutch on Arnav's shirt got tightened. Arnav's hands started roaming on her waist and back which is making her whole body on fire.
Unknown to her a moan escaped her mouth which in turn encouraged Arnav to give more kisses, so he started giving butterfly kisses on her shoulder blade which made her much more breathless.
He brought his face to her cleavage and gave a long kiss there. She is so lost in his kisses that she didn't realize when her hold became lose and Arnav came face to face with her
Not feeling his kisses she came out of daze and opened her eyes only to find Arnav looking at her with so much of love and appreciation in his eyes.
She was about to hide her face again in his embrace but clearly knowing her intentions he didn't let her escape this time.
Holding her both hands in his captive he spoke to her softly but because of their state it came out more dominantly
Look at me Kushi......
Hearing his dominant tone made Kushi feel something in her tummy. But she was adamant not to open her eyes and look at him.
Not having so much patience Arnav brought both her hands on top of her head and arrested her both hands in his one large hand and then using his free hand he lifted her chin to come face to face with Kushi and this time he uttered so lovingly and gently
Please open your eyes and look at me Kushi, please....
Hearing his request she opened her eyes and looked at him shyly. The position they were in and all the ministrations of Arnav is making her breath heavily. Seeing her bosoms heaving up and down Arnav lost all the control and crashed his lips with her.
