Silver-Topaz

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 .

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.
