Chapter Twenty Seven

After the revelation his sister had poured on him, Arnav was absolutely confused. Never did he think that Khushi... it just didn't make any sense to him.

Is Di lying to me? She had to have been lying to me, I mean... what the-?

Arnav felt a tap on his shoulder and when he looked to see who it was, he saw that it was Khushi.

"Whoa! I mean, hey, what's up?"

Khushi frowned at Arnav, tilting her head. What's wrong with him?

She held out his cup of coffee for him and Arnav swiped it away.

Huh?

"Um, I thought Bhromor was supposed to be going around giving everyone their tea and coffee?"

She went out to do some shopping, although its been quite some time... but what's it to him?

Khushi placed her hand at her waist and looked Arnav up and down.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Why are you acting all weird, she arched her eyebrow at him.

"Touché. Um... I've got some work to do, I'll be in my study," and Arnav headed off.

But-! What the?

"Oh good lord...."

Khushi turned to see Anjali, who was laughing away.

"...he's such a child," she laughed.

This time Khushi looked at Anjali with a frown, her head tilted.

"Uh, well... I may have let it slip that you would totally - if given the chance - be touchy, touchy with him..."

Khushi's eyes widened.

"...if you know what I mean," she winked.

What-? Di!!!

Khushi looked at her exasperatedly before covering her face with her hands.

Now I'm just as mortified as Avantika!

"Hey, relax," Anjali said, placing her hand around her shoulders. "I mean, now that he knows, you two just might have a chance at... yeah."

Khushi looked up at her with a scowl.

"Look, its gross for me considering he's my brother but you're my girl! You're like a sister to me, I have to look out for you!"

Khushi arched her eyebrow at her.

"Hey don't give me that look, you're making me seem like some weirdo."

Uh yeah, and she rolled her eyes.

"Hey I'm not being weird, I'm not being weird at all, the only one who acts weird is Avantika."

Khushi looked at Anjali, her expression questionable.

"Oh no," Anjali gasped. "I am acting like Avantika."

Khushi pursed her lips, looking away.

Anjali gasped once more. "Double oh no...."

This time Khushi looked at her in confusion.

"Khushi come with me," and Anjali grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs.

What the-? She really is acting like Avantika!

Khushi followed after Anjali into her room. Anjali had her sit down while she went into her closet to rummage through her belongings.

What in the world is she up to?

Moments later, Anjali reemerged, holding a small box in her hands. Khushi couldn't tell what exactly it was from her view, but as Anjali moved closer to her, she realized what it was.

No way....

Khushi stood up as Anjali stood before her.

"Khushi do you think... do you think...?"

Khushi placed her hands over Anjali's, giving them a light squeeze. Anjali looked up at her, slightly worried, but Khushi gave her a hopeful smile.

"It's just... I mean I've tried before and its always been negative but this time feels different and I- oh geez, I'm rambling like Avantika," she chuckled.

Khushi gave her another light squeeze and Anjali nodded.

"You're right, I should take the pregnancy tests... that way I'll know for sure if I'm pregnant or just behaving weird for some reason."

Khushi smiled at her softly.

"Okay," she said, taking in a deep breath. "I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it right now.... I'm gonna do it."

Anjali headed to the bathroom with the pregnancy tests in hand and Khushi sat down on the bed once more, eager to know what her results would be. A few moments later, Anjali came out, telling her that she needed to wait two minutes before she would have her results. She sat down besides Khushi and Khushi took hold of her hand.

"I don't know what to think Khushi, I mean... I'm confused- I mean I am but I'm also not. My mind is racing, like how did this happen although I know how it did happen but.... We've been wanting this for some time now, we even started trying before his case started but things hadn't worked out then. Now... just... I don't know."

Khushi took Anjali's hand in hers and gave it a light squeeze. Everything is going to be okay.

Anjali looked at ot for a moment. "You think so," she said softly.

Khushi nodded. I know so.

"That makes one of us,"and she let out a heavy sigh. "I want this, we we want this, but I'm also terrified. Even more, I'm terrified to check the results, will you go and look for me?"

We'll look together.

Khushi stood up and tugged her hand. Anjali understood that Khushi wanted for her to come with her, and so with a deep breath, Anjali got up, and both went into the bathroom. The lonely pregnancy test sat flat on the sink, waiting to be read.

"You look first," Anjali said, pausing in the doorway.

She's very nervous... I guess she's afraid of getting negative results again, that's what's really scaring her. Hai DM, please let it be positive this time.

Khushi went over to the sink and looked over.

Okay, plus for pregnant, minus for not pregnant and the screen shows- oh my!

Khushi stepped back in shock and moved back in again.

No way!

"Wait, why did you do that," she asked, going over to her. "Khushi-!"

Khushi turned to Anjali and hugged her. It's positive! You're pregnant!!!!!

Anjali was absolutely shocked by Khushi's antics and looked over to the pregnancy test.

It was indeed positive. She was indeed pregnant.

"W-what... I... I'm pregnant?"

Khushi pulled back and grinned at her. Yes!!!

"I... I should take the other, I have to take the other one, I-I have to be sure."

Anjali reached out for the box, which was sitting on the other side of the sink, and pulled out the other test. "I need water-"

Khushi held her hand up to her and went out into her room to get the glass of water that was sitting on her night stand. Anjali gulped it down and immediately felt her bladder kick in, so Khushi stepped out and gave her a moment before Anjali stepped back out into the room.

"I'm pregnant, at least, that's what the first one says, that plus is unmistakable for a minus so... holy shit!"

Khushi scowled at her but Anjali was just way too shocked.

"Wait, the other one, let's check."

Both Khushi and Anjali went back into the bathroom and looked at the other test. This one was digital, and two bars were on the screen, one of them blinking.

Come on....

The second one steadied and a third began to blink. Not long later, it steadied and a fourth bar began to blink. Almost immediately, all the bars disappeared and only one word displayed on the screen:

Pregnant
"Oh my gosh I'm really pregnant!"

Khushi couldn't help herself and hugged Anjali once more, Anjali crying from happiness. Things were definitely going to be changing in the Raizada household.

But little did the two realize that there was so much more to it.
