Khushi: (slapped him and said with a smile) Off coarse you can call me what you like i love you like my own babies all of you.
She pulled them all into a hug, Arnav came in to. They felt so complete the 5 of them that Arnav was so sure that this was the work of his sister who was siting up in heaven. He mentally thanked her.

Some time later they ate some dinner, and all left for home. It was around 10 pm when they reached They met Nani and Ratna, the children were in their room Khushi had also gone to her room to change. When she finished she headed down to the kitchen for some water. Everyone else had gone to sleep. She was in the kitchen when she felt to strong hands clasp around her waist a smile came on her face as she felt him and she said with a soft voice
Khushi: Arnavji
Arnav nuzzled his face in her shoulders and she shut his eyes taking in her lavender smell. Khushi could feel his scrunch stubble against her neck which was tickling her
Khushi: Arnavji leave me, what if some one comes
Arnav: no way i am not leaving you, i just got you
Khushi blushed at him and then said
Khushi: but what if auntiji or naniji walks in, they wouldnt like it at all
