Shyam entered his room, And saw Anjali talking to their unborn she had lovingly taken to calling “Raaj-Kumari” (Princess) A small smile graced his lips and he moved closer to her and sat on the other side of the bed.

“You're here” Anjali whispered

“Yes.. What were the two of you talking about? Was mumma complaining about Daddy to our Raaj-Kumari?” Shyam asked humorously. Dropping a kiss in her hair.

“” Anjali said.

“”

“” Anjali told him.

Shyam nodded. Upset?

“” Anjali's concerned voice reached him “”

Shyam sighed, His eyes softening as he took in the concern shining in her beautiful eyes for him, She knew him so well. And yet..

“” He confessed.

“” She asked

“” Shyam asked

“” Anjali said. “”

“” Shyam explained.

“.” Anjali said shaking her head.

“” Shyam said

“” She sighed in defeat.

“” Shyam asked holding her hand in his

Anjali frowned “” She asked confused

“” Shyam asked softly

“” Anjali cupped his face

“” Shyam said, His eyes shone with unshed tears.

Anjali looked at him confused as well as scared, There weren't many days he was vulnerable, There weren't many occasions when Anjali got to witness this side of her husband. The last time he was this vulnerable was when she had told him the news of her being pregnant, It was as if she saw a whole new person that day, Her Shyam-ji.

“” Anjali said softly trying to put his worries at ease

“” Bua-ji complained coming out of Khushi's room with a plate of food in her hands.

Arnav had just entered the house, Garima smiled and shook her head at her daughter's childishness.

“” Arnav chuckled “”

“” Garima said.

“” Arnav smiled. “”

“” Shashi told Arnav.

Arnav nodded in understanding, took the plate from Madhumati and started towards Khushi's room only to find her standing near the window, looking at the stars. Arnav kept the plate on the table and went up to her.

“” Arnav hugged her from the back, burying his face in her hair.

“” She greeted relaxing in his embrace

“” Arnav asked softly, turning her around while still in his arms.

“” She confessed making Arnav frown

“” He questioned concerned

“” Khushi pouted ""

"" Arnav asked

""

“” Arnav guided her towards the table.

“” She scrunched her nose looking at the plate in disgust. Arnav looked at his wife looking like an adorable child and smiled at her

“” Arnav asked, Khushi shook her head

“” She pouted (personal opinion 😜)

“” Arnav asked “”

“” Khushi asked confused

“” Arnav said flicking her nose.

Khushi nodded, “” She thought frowning cutely

“” Arnav said huskily making her eyes to go wide and cheeks to get painted in Arnav's favourite colour. Arnav smirked

“” Khushi questioned.

“” Arnav said boldly

“” She blushed hiding her face in his chest, Arnav held her close to himself sighing in contentment.

Both found the peace they were looking for in each other's arms, in each other's presence. It was a surprise how Arnav and Khushi comforted each other and helped each other out of every mess without even trying.

“” Khushi mumbled softly

“” Arnav whispered

“” Arnav said detaching himself from her and kissed her forehead. “”

Khushi nodded
