"I got this from my first paycheque. The moment I saw this,I could only envision you in this.Though you don't need to wear it if you don't like it.We will get a new one for the wedding"
"Ill wear this only".Khushi announced already in love with the outfit for their special day as they both stared at their reflection and the picture they made together.
"Khushi.I mean.I didn't even ask you properly.I know we both have been waiting for this day since years but I don't want all of it to overwhelm you and then moving to States.If you want we can postpone the wedding".
"Done or there is more?".She spoke angrily stepping out of his hold.
"Khushi I was just".His words were cut midway as Khushi spoke.
"I was just what?.How could you even think like that Arnav?.Don't you know that I haven't wanted anything in my life as gravely I have wanted this.To be yours in every way that mattered.And settling in US.Place doesn't matter Arnav as long as you are there are with me and dare you utter anything like this again".Khushi finished warning him.
"You are MINE".He affirmed hugging her close and added "FOREVER".
The marriage was to be solemnised after two weeks and the days following their engagement passed in a jiff as they both got immersed in he preparations of the wedding and their subsequent departure to States after it.The stature of him being Captain ASR coupled with his excellent work record came in handy as the formailities pretty much proceeded in the speed he flied his jets.
Amidst it all Arnav and Khushi stole moments to spent together.Being apart for so long has drove them off their patience as they both held onto each moment they could get to spent with each other.They indulged themselves in equisite shopping adding their own special touch to each dimension of their wedding.
Together they visited the orphanage Arnav ran in the memory of his parents and seeing the unparallel joy ,those children exhibited seeing him after all these years was priceless.With Khushi by his side and witnessing the progress of the endeavour started by him,he felt contented and at peace.
Khushi's relation with her parents was slowly regaining its color as she saw the genuine efforts of her parents to make Arnav feel home.She was always on guard when it came to him being his shield literally and figruatively.
The Mehendi and Haldi ceremony were held together in Gupta Mansion as Khushi's parents fulfilled the rituals for both sides.The invites were sent uniamously for the marriage of their children Arnav and Khushi.
The D-DAY finally arrived in their life as the Registered Marriage was closely followed by the marriage according to the traditional customs.Arnav and Khushi took 7 rounds the holy fire as they made vows to each other.The vows they have been unknowingly fulfilling since the moment they have pledged their heart to each other.
Their hearts echoed in unison the profound vowal of their love as Arnav filled her partition with vermillion and tied the sacred thread round her neck,their eyes misted as the moment defined their togetherness for this lifetime and beyond.
A smiling Khushi took leave from her parents and the home she has grown up in.Arnav drove catching glances at Khushi who was unusually silent yet her smile spoke volumes of the fact that she has never been happier than she was right now.
He stopped the car reaching the destination and opened her side of the door.Holding her hand,he led her out as Khushi notice the place he had brought her too.She had been in her own bubble savouring the new feeling that she hasn't notice he had been driving towards here.
The first thing that caught her attention was the newly engraved nameplate on the threshold of the entrance that spelled in bold letters "RAIZADAS".
This place has been their own personal sanctuary being the only witness to their journey.The friendship,the blossoming of their love,their confession,the innumerable fights and making up,the banter,their bickerings,their separation and their reunion.And now when they were taking the first step towards their new journey of life,it only felt right that it starts from here.
Khushi took in her surroundings.The place had underwent a complete change.The small shed was now replaced by what appeared to be cottage from outside but as she stepped inside,the scenic beauty of it took her breath away.So this was the reason he hadn't let her here citing that some construction was going on here.
The cottage had a very ethnic feel to it,the small living room adjoined by the kitchen followed by what seemed to her as their bedroom.The warmth and cosyness was dipping from the very ambience.Glinted with candlenight,her heared thudded with anticipation on what was about to follow.
Arnav stared awestruck at the love of his life.Dressed in bridal lehanga,her hands adored with Heena,her parition shining with vermillion of his name,she looked like a fairy from a dreamland that has come into his life to enlighten it with happiness.
Everything came to a standstill as their eyes locked and the air around them changed.Arnav walked towards her in measured steps and picked her up in his arms and she wounded her arms round his neck.
He gently laid her on the mattress as words ceased to exist between them.There was no hestiancy or reluctance in their stance.They let their all encompassing flow unrestricted and what followed was the most sacred union of two souls as they entwined in the most intimate way banishing away all the veils between them.
In their hearts they have always been each other's but tonight they became one truly heart,body and soul.The candles burned out as two lovers basked in the glory of their pure untainted love.
They were Arnav and Khushi Singh Raizada.BINDED FOR ETERNITY.
EPILOUGE TO FOLLOW SOON.
Song dedicated to Arnav and Khushi.
