-study well
He said when they arrived to her college
Khushi who was retaining her breath, breathed finally, she's waiting for him to wish her but no...
-do well in the exam, all the best!
Arnav said finally, he doesn't know how to wish her in a special way but why he's not even able to talk now? Simple words that he has to say right in that moment...he took a deep breath
Khushi is about to leave the car but suddenly he retains her hand, squeezed it between his hand
-wait...
He whispered
-I ...
He took so much time to talk...khushi waited...the silence dominates the car...when he's about to talk ...khushi was seeing all her mates coming inside the college...she looked at her watch and then at him
-Arnavji..I'm late
She pouted
-my...my exam!
Arnav was about to get angry but seeing her worried look, he left her hand
-yes! you go! Hurry!
She doesn't wait further; she looked at him once and then runs out of the car, to reach her classmates
Arnav watched her as she's walking inside the college and then he thought that he will never let anyone else wish her before him anymore...Anjeli was enough!
He gets off the car and followed her
Before she reached the main door of the college, he held her wrist
Khushi stopped wondering who this one who dares to hold her hand like this ...
She turned to see Arnav only and smiled instantly
-Arnavji?...did I forget something?
-no! it's me...
Arnav held her hand more hardly and then leaned to whisper in her ear
-happy birthday
He looked again back at her to see her smiling even more brightly
And this made him smile too
-now, go...your exam!
He said, gesturing her to enter, she nodded smiling and then went inside while he kept looking at her running like a butterfly
His butterfly
...now about this wish, he knew it doesn't go like this in his mind but that was good, he knew that she's smiling and happy with his "happy birthday"
Simple words are only enough to satisfy his wife he knows about it
But he needs to find perfect gift for her
What is it?!
*****************
Anjeli prepared everything for the surprise party...
Gifts, decoration, guests, music...she looked satisfied about her work...
Nani helped and when Garima and Buaji came, they help too, feeling happy that khushi has such caring family in law
All was ready for khushi's birthday now...
And they were only waiting for her and Arnav to come...
In the other hand...
Arnav and khushi are on the car in their way to mansion...
Khushi was all the way smiling while Arnav was concentrating in driving
She starts to talk and told him how she did in exam...she was the happiest girl when he wished her in morning...and she really did well...mostly because of him...
When he stopped the car...and they went out, khushi was about to walk to the main door but he retains her and held her hand...
-wait here, I'm goanna open the door
Arnav opened the door by key
-why we didn't ring?
Khushi simply asked...
He just smiled silently and pushed the door open to her to enter
As she entered, so many people were there to scream in one voice
-HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Khushi saw all her family and friends together...the incredible decoration they did and she looked at all of it with a stunning smile...
Arnav guided her to enter...
-it's just...
Khushi doesn't find the words and she looked at her husband
He smiled to her
-Anjeli's plan
Khushi smiled too and walked to hug Anjeli
-he's the one helping me so much
Anjeli whispered in her ear winking to Arnav...who just walked away...
khushi was kept busy by all her family and friends
The party was beyond her thoughts...
Her family and friends were besides her
They laughed and danced and talked...
The gifts were all perfect for her chocolate, jewelry, teddies, sarees all were things she loves
And even if Arnav wasn't present in the party, she knew he wouldn't be there while they are all ladies and girls around...moreover she knew he hates high sounds and dancing
khushi smiled being with them all but she hoped he would be there...
It's only when she cuts the cake...she could see him looking at her from far away, holding his phone...his eyes wants to tell her so many things that she ignores yet...but she's sure that it's only about love...
her heart is beating so fast at that thought and her tears were getting teary and it's only when she felt her mother feeding her a piece of chocolate cake that she finds again her smile...
Arnav dispeared but she knew he would be always there for her...always
***
When all the friends and guests went and there are only family who still chat in living room, Arnav appeared a new, khushi smiled seeing him
He comes and walks towards her...she smiled instantly
-khushi? come with me, now!
Khushi blushed as all the family was looking at them
-where?
Anjeli asked looking at her brother
-I want khushi to see her gift
-oh!
Anjeli clapped teasing them and then all the family smiled too
-come on, khushi beta, go and see what chote has for you
Nani said smiling to courage khushi
Khushi stands up and followed Arnav...he was walking outside back to the parking area...
When she was hesitating, he held her hand and they walked further, till he makes her stop and gestured her to look at something in parking...
There it's a red Mini cooper car on the top of it there is a golden ribbon
Arnav was smiling looking at his gift...and then his smile vanished when he turned to see khushi not that surprised, impressed or happy like he imagined her to be when she would discover his gift...this car he chooses it for her and thought that this gift will surely please her
-you don't love the model? Is that so?
He asked instantly
She nodded negatively
-khushi you don't love this color?
- this is so much...this is expensive, right?
She asked finally all worried
Well...all the family was following them to see the gift and was now all excited
Khushi felt Anjeli hugging her from behind
-ohhh...chote is the best best husband!
-it's the best gift ever Nandikishore
Buaji taped Arnav on his shoulder
-I agree hello hi bye bye
Mamiji went to touch the car and look from near at it
-thank you... thank you so much Arnavji
Khushi said finally to Arnav but somehow he knew that this gift wasn't the one for his wife...
-won't you get in to see the car from inside, beta?
Nani asked khushi smiling
She nodded
Arnav handed her the keys...
-Arnav why you don't take us for a little trip with khushiji's new car?
***************************
It was night when all the family calm down finally and everyone join his room...
Gupta's family went back to their home too
And khushi and Arnav joined their room after that
Arnav was observing khushi's expression from the moment he gifts her that car
Her happiness when he wished her was beyond his imagination
But when he gifts her the car she wasn't happy at all, he knew that she forced that smile
-what is it?
He asked when she was looking at all her gifts with an innocent smile
-what?
She asked simply
-you loved all those gifts but not mine?
-no...I also loved your gift, Arnavji
-I don't think so
He answered sitting next to her and he pulled her chin up to make her look at him
-tell me why?
-wo...your gift is awesome
-really?
-but...I...won't drive
-driver employee will drive for you, but that is your car only for you, you can choose where you go at any moment you want
She pouted
-khushi!
He felt powerless...why he's not even able to make her smile?!!!
-means...means you won't drop me college every day?
She asked all worried and he got it...he smirked and kept looking at her for awhile silently
-I will drop you every single day!
He said finally
-but that car is yours whenever you want to spend a girly day with Anjeli or yours friends
Khushi's eyes widened from excitement
-ok!
She nodded
-thank you Arnavji that was the best party ever I got!
-all thanks to our families
-right but you make it even better
-really?
-haan
-but my gift wasn't that good and for this reason, I will take you to the mall tomorrow!
-what?!
-you will choose whatever you want!
-but...there is no need to that...I like the red car you gave me!
Arnav pinched her cheek like she was a little girl
-not really...I think that wasn't the kind of gifts you really like!
Khushi looked at him with wide eyes...that was the first time he's talking and behaving with her like this...all openly and he seems to understand her very well
-now, you go change and sleep it was a real big day for you!
Khushi nodded and went to change...
Arnav smiled and went to check his phone waiting for his wife to come back
Khushi get out of the bathroom and then smiled to Arnav when she noticed he's looking at her and then she went out of the room
Arnav stands up and wants to follow her but retains himself
It was enough of showing his soft side for all this day...what now?! He will not run after her everywhere...
But he was tensed on why she went like that...
He kept standing till she comes back running to him
-Arnavji...
She showed him a piece of her chocolate birthday cake
-Arnavji...I know you won't eat sweets but little bit...it's from my birthday cake, please have it
Arnav held her hand and then made her have one piece
She looked at him surprised when he guided her hand to his mouth and eats from it too, his lips brushing her hand
-are you satisfied now?
He asked teasing her and she nodded blushing
-happy birthday
He said again looking at her intensely...
