Chapter 21- caught!!

arnav smirked and hugged her tightly, he looked at her and then with a whiff of a second he lowered his lips on her again, claiming her lips, she moaned in his mouth he bit her lip, she clasped her hands around his neck, caressing his collar bone, he was about to go lower when from behind they heard a vase fall down, both stopped, arnav pulled his lips out and turned around, khushi opened her eyes in the mean time and then standing there in front of them was naina who stood there staring at them like they are ghosts, they both looked at the girl who was standing opposite them, her eyes wide open, there was a silence between them and then naina finally spoke

naina: daddy what were you doing

arnav looked at khushi and they didn't know what to tell her, khushi tried to handle it by changing the topic

khushi: naina what are you doing out of bed, (she came to take her hand and lead her inside the house)

naina: (left her hand) mom why did daddy put his mouth in yours, (she asked innocently)

khushi looked at arnav once more and then at naina, who was asking questions that were so embarrassing, she then kneeled down to her and then looked at her, she caressed her hair and tucked it behind her ears and then said

khushi: baby please go to sleep its late we will talk tomorrow

naina: (screamed out realizing something)huh!!!(she covered her mouth in shock) you were kissing mom (her eyes wide open)

khushi and arnav were shocked that she figured out what they were doing, what were they going to tell her now, how were they going to escape the situation, they both looked at each other,

khushi: baby what makes you think we were kissing each other (she broke the silence)

naina: I saw it on tv, in the movie, they should that the beauty as in belle kisses the her prince he was a beast and he turned into a prince, they did that only because they loved each other, do you and daddy love each other

khushi at this point had run out of answers and ways to dodge naina now it was all up to arnav who was quite throughout he walked towards them, he picked khushi up who was kneeling, she looked at him and he looked back at her, then he held naina's hand and brought her to the swing and made her sit down, khushi walked along with them and sat next to naina on the swing, arnav kneeled down, and looked at khushi who was watching what arnav was upto

arnav: its time we should tell her, she should be the first to know

khushi: (hesitant about it) are.. are you sure

arnav nodded at her, and then looked a confused naina, khushi was ready to tell her daughter about their secrete, he was right she should know, and she should be the first to know

arnav: (caressed his face with his hands) princess your mother and I have something to say to you

naina: (confused) what is it daddy

arnav: (took khushi's hand in his, he took a deep breath) princess your mother and I talked to each other the other night and both of us found out that we... (he looked at an anxious naina who was dying to know what he was going to say... so he continued) we love each other,

as soon as he said that he saw naina smile in excitement her eyes glistened, she hugged him tightly khushi and arnav were shocked they thought they would have to do a lot of explaining to her, none of them expected her to behave this way, she pulled out the hug and then grabbed her mother and hugged khushi tightly, khushi's eyes wide open

khushi: naina what happened why are you hugging both of us

naina: (excited) because yesterday night I prayed to devi maya that you and daddy will fall in love so I can happy a happy family and we can all live together, and devi maya listened to me, (she folded her hands and then looked up at the sky, and the smiled) thank you thank you thank you and thank you so much for making my wish come true (she smiled and laughed out)

arnav and khushi were so amused by their daughter, she was thrilled hearing the news, so thrilled that she told arnav that she promised that from now on if she caught them nice ever kissing or hugging she would never disturb them, never before had khushi seen her daughter so happy her face was glowing her cheeks were red her eyes glistened,

arnav: princess you wanted this to happen

naina: yes daddy I did, (she opened her inner feelings) I always knew that one day mom was going to find someone and marry that person and then he would be my daddy, and I was scared because I didn't want a step dad, what if he would be mean to me, but then I met you, and when you dropped us home you were so nice, and you took care of me and mom, at that time only I wanted you to be my daddy, I wanted mom to be happy and I wished someone would take care of her, and you are perfect, I knew mom always loved you her face went red when we would mention your name, and even though she would call you the beast she always thought you were her prince then when I found out that we are coming here I started becoming close to you, when you saw me looking for shells yesterday I purposely told you that I want you to live in my sand castle I wanted to see what you would think, (then her voice went narrow and she started to cough because she spoke in one breath khushi, rubbed her back) please don't be angry at me, I really love you a lot and I wished that you would love me and mom as your own , we could live like a happy family

as arnav heard the little girl speak he couldn't believe what he heard, she was so genuine and so innocent, she wanted a father, and she wanted him to love her as his own, he was touched that she took the initiative to get close to him, never in his life had arnav singh raizada gone through such happiness, the 5 year old angle touched his heart from the day she walked into her eyes, he solemnly vowed to himself to love her and protect her from all the evil, from now on he would proudly pick his head up high and tell the word that he is Naina's father, and no one could take that right from him, khushi was equally happy, she was happy because her daughter wanted her to be happy, she really was a blessing, and all she ever wanted was a happy family

arnav took naina into his arms and hugged her tightly, she responded back to him, the hug lasted for almost two minutes, then he kissed her cheeks and caressed her hair, and looked at his little princess, and said

arnav: I will always be your daddy, no matter what happens I will always be your father, I promise you, I will give you all the happiness in the world, you are my daughter (he said proudly) princess I am not angry with you, how can I be angry with the most cutest girl in my life, not to worry darling you and your mother are in safe hands,

khushi cried as she heard arnav and naina talk, the scene got emotional, after all such strong bonds were created, there was bound to be some tear drops of joy, now it was her turn to hug naina, she took her in her arms and then hugged her tightly kissing her cheeks like ever mother does to their child, she held her tightly and said

khushi: (crying in joy) you want me to be happy, you want us to be happy, baby thank you so much for praying to devi maya for something like this, she truly made your wish come true, we will be a happy family, I promise !! do you know what we should celebrate this

arnav: ya your right we should but we have know cake at home

khushi: when something happy comes into our life we don't celebrate with cake we celebrate with...

naina & khushi together: jalebi !! (they shouted shocking arnav)

arnav: jalebi, its 2:00 at night we can't get jalebi right now

naina: daddy mama can make jalebi, and she will make sugar free for you

arnav: u can make jalebi's

khush: yes, its my comfort food

they all headed to the kitchen and khushi whipped up some jalbies in no time, later after relishing the jalebies, arnav took naina to the room, today naina slept with both her parents, khushi and arnav on either side and naina in the middle, he put his arms across naina and stretched it to khushi's waist, he had his love and his daughter in his arms this was a happy and content man who couldn't ask for more,
