Chapter 16--- chocolate milk

The next day came, and arnav took khushi and naina to the nearby super market, they all left while khushi was shopping for all the vegetables, naina was walking in front of the cart and arnav on the side, as she was walking towards the dairy section naina cribbed

Naina: I don't want milk

Khishi: naina stop it we have been through this you have to have milk every day, its good for you

Naina: (stubborn) I hate milk,

Khushi:there will be no further arguments on this milk has to be had (she put the tetra pack inside the cart)

Naina: (sulking) but mom

Arnav was watching the whole thing, and was seeing naina sulk, he went up to her kneeled down, and whispered something in her ear, which caused a smile on her face, as she heard what he said, khushi was watching the two and wondering what was happening, arnav sigh raizada, making a child happy was close to impossible, but it seems what ever he told her worked naina stopped sulking, later when they reached the counter, and were waiting to pay, khushi asked

Khushi: what did you tell her

Naina: no mr raizada its our secrete, u pinky promised (she looked up at him innocently)

Khushi: (eyes went wide) you pinky promised her, I thought you don't believe in all this

Arnav: I made a deal with her, which she claims is a pinky promise

Khushi: oh, but what did you tell her

Arnav: (brought out the tin which contained chocolate powder, and showed it to khushi) you never heard that from me (he said slyly)

Khushi: (understood that it was for mixing with the milk, and nodded, and gave out a faint smiled) ok

She was shocked from inside, he was full of surprises, at one end he is this cold ruthless man, and on the other end he is some sort of angle who can make someone happy, he was still a big mystery to khushi,

After the super market they all went home, arnav went straight to his room, khushi started arranging the stuff in the kitchen and naina was coloring with her new crayons in her coloring book, as the day passed by night started to fall, arnav had told khushi that he can organize a cook to come, but khushi insisted that she would cook, khushi was aproching to the frige when her phone started to ring she saw it was anjili and so she picked up

Khushi: yes anjiliji

Anjili: hi khushi how are you

Khushi: I am fine , hows things there

Anjili: ok, tomorrow is the press conference don't worry

Khushi: oh I see

Anjili: hows chotte doing and naina

Khushi: they are both fine,

Anjili: and what else what are you doing for dinner

Khushi: anjili ji I was just making dinner, right now but I am confused I don't know what arnavji like

Anjili: oh, he usually eats pasta and salad

Khushi: oh I see, but what kind of pasta

Anjili: khushi do you want me to give you the recipie

Khushi: yes please

So anjili dictated the recipie to her on the phone, as khushi started to prepare dinner while talking to anjili

Khushi: thank you anjiliji u have solved my great dilemma

Anjili: no problem khushi, let me know if you need some more help

Khushi: yes I will

Saying this she put down the phone and started to organize the plates, it was around 9:30, when naina came to her mother and said she was hungry, she told naina to sit and she went to call arnav who was in the study

Khushi: arnav sir, dinner is ready, I am making naina eat she is hungry, do u want to eat now or later

Arnav: (looked up from his file and said) ya I'll be out in 5

She left to the dinning table and started to feed naina

Naina: yum pasta

Khushi: ya pasta (she smiled, and took the chair next to her and started to feed her)

In the mean time arnav came out and saw the pasta dish in the center, he took a seat, and then took a helping of pasta, khushi got up from the chair went to the counter and brought the fresh green salad out, and placed it on the table, as arnav took a bite of the pasta, he shut his eyes and relished it for a few seconds, which khushi noticed, then he opened his eyes and looked at her and said

Arnav: how did you know how to make this

Khushi: anjiliji told me, that you like pasta, and she gave me the recipe on the phone, I hope it taste good

Arnav: (not wanting her to know said) ya its ok, then he took the salad and munched on it, which was perfectly seasoned with feta cheese and truffle oil

They finished dinner and khushi and naina got busy doing the dishes, khushi remembered that arnav has to have his tablet so she went back to the study and reminded him, he said he would have so she left on the old wooden desk and went back the kitchen, as naina and washed the plates

Naina: why is mr raizada helping us

Khushi: because he is busy with his work

Naina: what work does he do

Khushi: important work baby (she pecked her on her fore head, as arnav came out and saw mother daughter cleaning the kitchen)

 Arnav: you can leave this you, know I can hire some help to do it for you (he offered)

Khushi: no need, we can do it

Arnav: but why would you want to do things like this its tedious

Khushi: because there is fun in doing your own work, it keeps you busy, and occupied

Arnav looked at her stunned, not excepting her to say that, but he never showed it instead he shrugged it off and left, the night passed by and khushi and naina were fast asleep,
