Chapter 57--- the return


As they touched London and got out of the airport they  saw the driver waiting for them, arnav got the luggage out and they headed towards the car, khushi again thanked arnav for the lovely honeymoon and he kissed her forehead, they reached RM and there standing outside on the front door was their little 5 year old waiting eagerly to meet her parents, arnav and khushi got out of the car, and naina gushed into arnav arms and hugged him tightly, she was so excited to see him and her mother that she was counting hours for their return,
Naina: daddy, your back (she hugged him tightly)
Arnav: ya princess we are back, (he kissed her forehead)
She leape d to khushi and hugged her too, and then naina said
Naina: I missed you two so much,
Khushi: (smiled) we missed you too baby,
They all walked inside to see the family in the hall, as they entered Anjili rushed to them and hugged them tightly, nani followed, after the meet and great,  akash and nk started off with their usual teasing, which would annoy arnav and make khushi blush too no limit, they sat in the hall, and khushi told them what gifts she had bought for everyone, and an excited naina came first hearing that her mother bought her an Asian Barbie doll spa set, she told her father that he had to help her set it up and he agreed to her wish, after a long chat they all headed to their rooms, khushi and arnav were exhausted not only because of the flight but because of their activity on the flight, and so khushi decided to unpack the next day,  naina slept in arnav and khushi's room with them, she cuddled into arnav and possessively took over his arms, and he did the same he cuddled his daughter up, khushi was so pleased to see them so cutely sleeping, she was happy and she knew that naina and arnav have always had a special bond with each other, she lay next to naina, and shut her eyes, arnav knew she was on the bed and he hadn't forgotten his wife at all, he extended his hand across naina and pulled khushi close, which brought a smile to her face, naina turned in her sleep and came a bit close to her mother to cuddle with her, the trio slept very peacefully that night,
Next morning, khushi and arnav were busy, as they were shifting back to the apartment on Piccadilly Street, arnav had made the renovations in the apartment, which includes naina's very own room, naina was so excited to have her own room, she was the first to wake up, she woke khushi and then arnav, and made them hurry up with the shift, they said bye to nani and the family, Anjili accompanied them to the apartment, to help khushi with the settling and unpacking, as they reached, khushi and arnav started to unload the boxes Anjili and naina went up to open the apartment, and they all sat to unpack,
Anjili, was looking into the boxes and was helping khushi settle the kitchen, khushi handed her the boxes of masala and she placed it on the shelfs, arnav and naina sat out, time passed by and it was evening, arnav went to drop Anjili back home, while khushi settled naina's room, in the acar Anjili and arnav were talking
Anjili: so chottey, did you and khushi have a good time
Arnav: ya di, we had a great time
Anjili: it seems the one to miss you the most was your daughter
Arnav: (smiled) I missed her too
Anjili: chottey she adore you, you know that, everyday she would talk about you, she is an angle (she smiled)
Arnav: di, she really is, and she means a lot to me,
Anjili: chottey ai am so happy for you, khushi and naina have really changed you so much, and its for the better,
Arnav: di I don't know about change but they defiantly have become a very important part of my life, they mean the world to me
Anjili: you're lucky chottey, it feels great to have a small family of your own, (she said looking lonely)
Arnav noticed it, he knew she was lonely after her failed marriage she had become a very depressed women, but she never showed it, Anjili has always dreamed of having a small family much like what arnav has now with khushi and naina, but because of circumstances she didn't get it, she would hide it and instead she would indulge herself in teaching children, which would make her feel better, arnav never pried the  topic as he knew she was depressed instead he changed it and she felt better,
Meanwhile back home, naina and khushi were having some mother daughter bonding time,  naina's room looked like a princess's chamber, arnav had made sure her whole room was in her two favorite colors blue and green, the walls had a texture of blue and green, the bed sheets had naina's favorite cartoon character which was  princess jasmine from the Disney movie Aladdin, across from her bed was a wall which had a big flat screen tv mounted on it, above the bed hung tiny silver stars which looked like the night sky was over her, and last but not the least the whole room was decorated with white fairy lights, it was every 5 year old girls dream to live in a room like this, and naina felt so happy that she was the one who received it,  the mother daughter dough had a blast fixing up the room with naina's clothes, and putting her toys,  books,
Arnav entered the room to see the two women working, as naina saw him, she ran to him, and dragged his finger and pulled him inside and said in an excited voice
Naina: daddy, look my room, (she looked up at him) its sooo coool, daddy, look I have princess jasmine sheets and, tiny stars up above my bed, and also, (she took a second to gulp down and continued) lots of baby lights, daddy this is sooo cool, (she chanted to him)
Arnav walked to khushi and put an arm around her, and both of them started laughing looking at naina's excitement, she was so happy, arnav picked her up and kissed her cheeks and said
Arnav: I know my princess, and it's all yours,
Naina hugged him tightly and thanked him, then she quickly got off his lap and dragged him to the new princess castle he had bought, she put him on the job and he got onto making it for her and khushi got onto making dinner
