Silver-Topaz

Two days passed since the wedding date was finalized. Vijay's family returned to Kerala today.  Anjali and Vijay were having dinner outside.  Vijay noticed Anjali was thinking about something else when he was talking about the wedding.  "Where are you lost?"  Anjali came out of her thoughts and sighed. "I was thinking about Khushiji and Chote " Vijay kept the fork and knife down to hold her hand. "Why are you worrying unnecessarily ?  You saw yourself right?.. They are fine now. They were pretty much close to each other. And Arnav was very happy. If I am not wrong this is the first time I am seeing him genuinely happy. " "I saw that too Vijay. I knew they will be fine from the day since chote left for Dubai. Khushi has a golden heart. I knew she will forgive him sooner or later. But my concern is.. Our wedding will remind them about their own wedding which did not happen. It is not that easy you know.. Especially for Khushiji.. Even if they are to

Khushi walked away from the door as the debate between her husband and his team continued. After putting the Coffee mug away, she reclined back in the armchair looking at the white wall in front of her.  How they are going to make this relationship work? She forgot a fact conveniently that her husband runs a multinational company. He cannot stay here forever.  And she is planning their daily routine here forgetting he is not only her husband but also has too many other responsibilities also. Guilt hit her in full force.  He left his wok and his family behind and came with her.  AR is not just a business for Arnav. AR is his child just like Muskaan. He built it with his hard work and dedication. How can he forget all the other things just to woo his wife. How can he simply state that he will bear that loss if his company shuts down? That is not the Arnavji she knows. She needs to talk to him about it. She picked up her phone and sent a mail in hurry. "Khushiii..." He called he

Khushi continued to sleep peacefully swathed in blanket unware of time passed.  After few minutes her sleep got disturbed by the noise coming from kitchen. The memories of the previous night came back to her and she smiled.  Without opening the eyes her hand searched for her baby and her husband.  When her hands could not find any of them she roused herself looking around. She was alone in their room.  She slept in the other room yesterday. Arnav might have carried her here in sleep.  Her smile widened when she noticed Arnav's shirt was the only piece of cloth on her body.   Her eyes went to the wall clock. It showed 11am.  She suddenly flung the blanket off her and walked hurriedly towards the kitchen.  "Hey devi maiyya!" Muskaan must be hungry. How could she sleep like that? Even though it is a Friday, Muskaan's breakfast time is 9 am. She stopped at the sight of her husband and kid. Arnav was stirring something slowly. His upper body was bare. Muskaan was sitting o

When they were about to step into the house, t he ding of the  elevator  drew their attention towards it.   Nimmy came out of the elevator carrying a sleeping Muskaan. He stepped away from Khushi a little and smiled at Nimmy.  Nimmy whispered something in Khushi's ears which made her blush. She took Muskaan from her and went inside with a smile. Arnav followed his wife after locking the door.  Khushi put Muskaan to bed and kissed her forehead.  He leaned onto the door frame folding arms across his chest watching his wife and his daughter.  "Khushi..." He called her in low voice which was heavy with desire. She turned  and saw him unfolding his arms and opening it wide. Without thinking twice she got up from the bed and ran into his wide arms and hugged him tight.  She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, enjoying the smell of his  delicious masculine  cologne . He lowered his face to the crook of her neck and breathed in her perfume hungrily.  She hugged him more tightly

   A fter getting ready  K hushi opened the door and walked towards the hall. She smiled at an awestruck Arnav who was looking at her without blinking his eyes.       The smile on her face turned her from  stunning  to breathtaking. She was wearing a red saree with thread dori wor k,  that was very simple, yet flattered every aspect of her figure . He arms and neck were left bare and she wore a big silver jhumkas which were the only jewelry  on her body.      Her  hair  was hanging  loose  to her shoulders and he wished if she was also wearing the mangalsutra and sindoor in his name.  Maybe it was too much to ask for at the moment.  He decided to let go of the heaviness he felt and smiled widely at her. "You look gorgeous Khushi.."   "Thank you.." She smiled shyly at the compliment. They reached the restaurant after 20 minutes. They came in taxi as it is dangerous to drive back home after consuming alcohol.  The restaurant manager guided them to the seat reserved

     Khushi made a cup coffee for herself in the office pantry.  Today she left from home by 7 am to finish some important paper work. Muskaan and Arnav were sleeping at that time. She made breakfast for them and left a note for him on the side table. Now It is 11 am, she need to leave for home in another half an hour. Arnav called her by 9.30 and told he made Muskaan eat and she can take her time to finish the work.  Her friends Nimmy and Saritha came there seeing her alone in the pantry through the glass door.       Nimmy, Saritha and Tanya are staying in the same building as her's. Tanya is the receptionist, Saritha is a sales coordinator and Nimmy is the secretary of the director. Only these three were aware of the equation she share with Arnav. Other colleagues are in the impression that her husband stays in London and visits her once in a while. She was not ashamed to tell others that she is a single mother at that time, but Nimmy- cousin of Vijay's friend who knows her f
