Raghu can see how much the Gupta sisters are fond of each others.. And also Payal seems to be holding a grudge against Arnav...
Seeing how awesome Payal is, he become more interested to know more about his mother's side relatives...
Payal suddenly asked, "So.. What plan both of you have for the wedding?"
"I want to give her a grand wedding!" Arnav said with hopeful eyes..
Khushi clear her throat, "I wish to have a simple wedding, a private one with only close relatives and friends.."
"But why?" He asked, grand fairytale marriage is her dream marriage after all.
Khushi smiled softly, "My baby seems to hate loud noises.. And nowadays I get tired easily... So please."
Arnav smiled wryly at himself. Lot of things changed... So is Khushi.. "I'm OK with it.."
Raghu a lot silent compare to before, Arnav noticed it.. "Since.. My baby love me the most na? Khushi says he moves a lot when I'm near her.." He said proudly poking fun at Raghu..
Raghu fumed, was about to argue then they Khushi say..
"He kicked!" She shouted, with her wide eyes.
Payal jumped in excitement and touch her belly, "Aww.. He is.."
Arnav looked hesitantly at Khushi want to feel the baby's moment... She blinked giving him permission.. He placed his palm on her stomach..
Arnav never felt this kind feeling before... Feeling of wanting to protect this little buddle of their joy..
Arnav step back, with smile on his face.
"Raghu, you also come fast! Or he will stop.." She called.
Raghu looked fearfully at her baby bump.. That thing... Is him.. Yet isn't him who experienced every difficulty in his life..
They both are same... Can he really touch it?
Seeing him standing there silently Khushi walked to him and grab his and placed on her bump..
"Ah? He stopped moving?" She mumbled in surprise..
Raghu swallowed, looking at her disappointed face.
"Next time he kicks I will definitely get you to feel it so don't worry!" She said to him..
His face turning pale.. He excused himself and went back to his room.. To rest..
________________
At night..
After sending off Payal, she return back to the hall.. She remembered Raghu..
Khushi noticed Raghu's solemn expression.. Since evening..
She went inside his room saw him sleeping.. He didn't even cover himself properly.. She was about to cover him with blanket, her hand accidentally touched his cheek found it so cold..
"Raghu... Raghu.." She shook him, but he didn't even respond. Not knowing what to do she starts to cry and shouting for Arnav..
He came running in, "Khushi?"
"Arnavji.. Raghu is.. Not waking up.. So cold.." She had time catching her breath.
He acts immediately, picked Raghu up carrying him on his back. "Khushi.. Let's get him to the hospital.."
Khushi nodded, wiping off her tears..
They got into car and Arnav drove his car at top speed, they reached hospital in no time...
He can't calm his mind down, as he shouting at Doctor to treat him fast as Raghu is not breathing..
" Let us examine him first, Mr. Raizada.." Doctor rushed back inside.
Leaving them crumbling down in fear.. What if something happen to him?
Arnav put his arm around her shoulders and held her to him. Khushi rested against him, her head on his shoulder as she sobs hard...
_____________
In few minutes..
Doctor came out with a frown, Arnav and Khushi both rushed to the doctor.
"How is he?" They asked.
"There is nothing serious at all.. He is doing just fine.. We have done all the test, we will wait for the result.." Dr. Mehra said.
"Can we see him?" She asked hurriedly, tears began to fall again,she didn't bother to wipe it.. she was very distressed.
"Yes, but please don't make to much noise and disturb the patient." Doctor allowed them in.
Khushi rushed in first and Arnav followed after her.. She quickly turned around and rushed to the bed.
Khushi held Raghu's hand tightly, silently crying.. "I'm so useless.. You have fallen sick and I panicked, couldn't think rationally. I'm so sorry.. Please wake up soon Raghu."
"Khushi.. Don't worry he will wake up soon.." Arnav tried to calm her down, crying like this isn't good for her health..
Only then Khushi noticed something.. Her baby.. "Arnavji.. My baby is not moving.. For a while now.. "
"What the.. I will get the doctor.." He said firmly.
She touched her bump, "No.. He.. Started again.. Maybe he is really lazy like you said.."
Raghu stir open his eyes hearing her badmouthing him.. "Khushimaa?"
"Raghu?" She responded, she never been so relieved.. He woke up..
He sat up and stare at them in confusion... Why his mother is crying? His father also looking worried..
Khushi hugged Raghu tightly, crying heartbreakingly, "I thought... I thought.. Something happened to you.."
Arnav took a deep breath and finally said, "You worried us both.."
Raghu patted her back calm her down.. What just happened? He barely have an idea...
But he could make a guess... It was because he touched her baby bump.. He is the future self of that baby.. No wonder it stopped moving in his presence..
Raghu had hard time pacifying Khushi, and made her drink some water.. She isn't even willing to go home and rest..
This is night time where she should take rest..
"I will take care of Raghu.. You go back home with Aman... I called him.." Arnav said, Khushi was about protest but Raghu stopped her.
"He is right.. I will get discharge by morning and will be back home soon.. You go take rest.. You take care of your Prince na?" His tone were so gentle..
She nodded in tears and left after giving lot of instructions to Arnav..
Raghu who was left alone with his father, had nothing left to say... But.." Thanks for your help.. Without you she must have struggled to bring me to the hospital.."
"Mm.." Arnav had no words.. He didn't help to earn his thanks but he was deeply concerned about Raghu..
Raghu and Arnav didn't communicate more than that..
This day, he woke up seeing his parents worried faces.. Full of concern for him makes his heart feel warm.. It was just his selfish wishful thought of him.. Having a small but happy family of three..
He wonder how would it feel like to have a reliable father and loving mother, a childhood with any worries...
A beautiful dream indeed... He could achieve it in dream only....
To be continued...
Next chapter - Wedding Preparation..
Raghu frowned seeing overly caring Anjali showering all of her attention to Khushi... Rather to her unborn child..
Why is getting goosebumps from this woman who is his father's elder sister?
"Khushi, I already select a name for the baby." Anjali said with excitement.
Payal totally made face at Anjali's busybody nature..
Raghu didn't like this woman one in a bit. He want to be named by his mother not by this glass doll of Raizada family.
