Day 1

'Don't touch me!' Khushi backed away from Arnav with both of her hands held out in front of her.

'What the?' Arnav looked at the empty space in his arms where Khushi had been only seconds before.

'I still haven't forgiven you for this morning Arnav,' Khushi spoke as she took off her slippers and got into her side of the bed.

'Oh Khushi come on, it was nothing. We're married now, they'll understand.' Arnav took his own shoes off and sat next to her on the bed.

'Nothing? You weren't the one that had to listen to them teasing me all day!' Khushi faced away from Arnav, crossed her arms and shut her eyes tightly.

Arnav leaned over her and put his arm around her and chin on her shoulder, 'what's there to tease about? It was just a kiss.' He tried to kiss her shoulder but Khushi squirmed away and sat up.

'Just a kiss? Just a kiss?! Arnav we were in the kitchen! Everyone saw! Even Om Prakashji!'

Arnav grinned to himself as he remembered going to say bye to her this morning. Normally when he left for work he only kissed Khushi on the cheek because of all the assorted family members that were usually in her orbit. But this morning she'd been alone in the kitchen and he'd taken the opportunity to kiss her properly. She'd protested but he had pushed her back against the fridge and let his hands slide up under her kameez to touch the soft skin on her back when he'd heard a cough that made him stop.

They'd both looked up to see the entire family staring at them. Arnav had removed his hand swiftly, kissed Khushi on the cheek and then left to go to work leaving her to deal with the aftermath.

'You're smiling?' Khushi hit him on the arm, 'I had to listen to them tease me all day and you're sitting here smiling?!' She lay back down again determined this time not to open her eyes.

'Sorry, I can't help it,' he ran his hand down her arm as he spoke. 'It's your fault anyway.'

'My fault?' Khushi replied automatically although she hadn't meant to.

'Yes. Is it my fault that my wife is so sexy?' Arnav slowly slid his hand over Khushi's hip and then began to lift up her dress when Khushi hit his hand and moved away.

'No Arnav!' She sat back up again and poked him in the chest. 'No you can't touch me! That's your punishment for this morning.'

Arnav folded his arms and raised an eyebrow at her. 'Punishment? I can't touch you?' When she nodded he added, 'for how long?'

Khushi thought for a second, 'a month.'

'A month?!!' Arnav unfolded his arms automatically in shock. He'd been expecting her to say a couple of hours, one night at the most, but a month? He would never survive. 'Are you serious?'

Khushi was enjoying Arnav's distress and she crossed her own arms, 'yes.'

'Khushi,' Arnav looked at her sternly waiting for her to change her answer.

'It's just one month Arnav. Don't you think you can last? Then all you have to do is say sorry.' Khushi made a big deal of smoothing down her dress before she lay back down again.

'I can't? You...Are you saying I can't last one month even?' Arnav sputtered out to Khushi's back but she only shrugged her shoulders.

'Fine Khushi, we'll see. You don't know who you're messing with. I'm Arnav Singh Raizada in case you forgot. And I bet you'll be begging me to touch you long before the month is over!' He lay down himself feeling satisfied with himself.

Khushi turned herself only slightly so she could look at him in the eye. 'I think you're forgetting that my name is Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada and it will be you that does the begging not me Arnav.'

'We'll see.' Arnav narrowed his eyes and gave her a scornful look before he turned over with his back towards her and closed his eyes.


Arnav waited until he heard Khushi's breathing regulate before he moved towards her and gently slid an arm under her neck. He then moved her head onto his chest before wrapping an arm around her. 'One month without touching you? Yeah right,' he kissed her hair lightly before he closed his eyes.
