Chapter 6A

Two weeks passed by Khushi had adjusted well in her new surroundings. Arnav organized an appointment with Hawaii's top gynocologist Dr. Melanie Palika. She was known to be the best in delivering children. She told Arnav and Khushi that the baby was fine and very healthy as of now. She put Khushi on to a diet along with her supplements. Some minor exercises. It was her first month, the doctor said that maintaining a fixed routine for her from now was important. Walking was a must. The lector had also told Arnav to make sure that she gets no kind of stress and pain emotionally. She had to keep her mental state in good condition and had to make sure that her environment was relaxing and soothing at all times. No yelling no shouting and defiantly no loosing temper when she came up with silly ideas. Arnav made a strict not of that.

Khushi was doing fine. She would get up at 8 and have her hot cup of tea at the pool side area. Arnav would join her with his cup of coffee. They would spend a good 1 hour together before Arnav left for work.  In the evening when he would return back they would eat dinner. He would forcefully feed her every mosul so that she at well. They would sped some more time together and then by 12 he would put her to bed. If he had his way he would make her sleep at 10 but Khushi had this thing. She could not sleep until she had seen all her favorite tv shows. Arnav managed to have a tata sky with Indian channels put up in their house. She would sit from 9:30 onwards to 12 watching her programs, what was worse is that she would try to talk him into seeing it. He would refuse but she very conveniently use to say that it would make the baby happy if it father would also sit and watch the shows with them. Having no choice he use to sit with her and watch. It was funny she would watch emotional scenes and would cry and he would be holding tissues in his hand sulking to himself as to where he got himself stuck.

From the work front he had opened an AR office at Hawaii and was in constant touch with the Delhi Office and Akash. They were planning on expanding their business as much as they could. Arnav had big plans for the future and to help him to set the office up Arnav got Aman to Hawaii. Yes Aman came to Hawaii. Over the past few days he had tried all kinds of personal assistants and for some reason he would insist on calling all of them Aman be it a man or women. Khushi would find that hilarious. She just prayed they wouldn't name their kid Aman because that would just be weird. Not like the name was bad or anything but still not wanting to take a risk she suggested that they get Aman here. Arnav would constantly call her up to find out how she was. He hired help so she wouldn't have to do the work. Things were finally building up for them as far as settling was concerned.

It was around 12:30 am in the morning when a sleepy Khushi lay on the bed in the dark room. Her stomach growled making her wake up. The only thought in her mind was that she was hungry and she had to eat. But she didn't want to eat just anything she wanted to eat Kulfi. It seemed that she would die if she didn't eat it like right now. Getting off the bed she went to the kitchen and dug into the fridge but there was no kulfi.

Khushi: Hey devi maya now what will I do. (she cried) I need Kulfi now. We are not even in India. If we were there would always be kulfi in the fridge.

She went back up and tried to get sleep but couldn't her mouth was watering with the thought of Kulfi. How that ice cream tasted so good. When the cold sensation touched her tongue it gave her tingles and chills. the taste was so different so unique. She moaned. Her tummy growled again and she  couldn't take it any longer. The only way out was to wake him up. She looked down at her baby and said in a cute voice

Khushi: Hey baby, This Kulfi craving is driving me insane I tell you, now dont think your mama is crazy because the option to get this craving fulfilled is to get your father to help me.

She woke up and walked towards his room knocked on the door twice. Arnav was asleep but he was a light sleeper. Hearing the knock he woke up with a jerk to register what was going on. Khushi knocked again and said

Khushi: Arnavji wake up (she tried to shout)

Arnav rubbed his eyes hearing Khushi's voice immediately getting up, he thought something must be wrong with the baby or her health for her to wake him up so late. He opened the door and looked at her and said

Arnav: What happened are you ok (he asked worried)

Khushi: No I am not (she sulked)

He took her into his room and made her sit on the bed comfortably and asked

Arnav: Is it paining you, Have you taken your medicines (he asked in a hurry)

Khushi: Oh no Arnavji its not paining me anywhere (she said looking irritated)

Arnav: Then what happened (he asked raising his eye brows)

Khushi: I want Kulfi (she said in a cute voice)

Arnav: (opened his mouth shocked) What The

Khushi: (held his shoulder like a child and nudged him) Arnavji please get me Kulfi I need it.

Arnav: Khushi where am I too get Kulfi from whats wrong with you Its 1 in the morning (he yelled)

Khushi: (hearing hims shouting started to cry saying in a cranky voice) Your shouting at me (she sniffed) I can't help it I need Kulfi I can't sleep (sniff) Arnavji you dont care any more (sniff and crying)

Arnav: (calmed himself down and then tried to calm her down) Khsuhi no its not like that off course I care. but you tell me where am I too get Kulfi right now for you.

Khushi: (sulking) I dont know I just want it and I want it right now

Arnav: (yelled back) Your impossible and crazy woman.

Khushi again started to cry and he immediately changed his tone

Arnav: Ok OK I am sorry I am sorry

Khushi: (sniffing) Arnavji I am going to get kulfi

Arnav: From where

Khushi: I dont know I will walk on the streets till I find some Kulfi (she said determined)

Arnav: What the!! No you wont

Khushi: Yes I will

Arna: no

Khushi: yes

Arnav: Fine then I am coming with you

She smiled and then they both set foot to go in search of Kulfi on the streets of Hawaii.
