Chapter 23

The arranged Marriage

Going crazy about him...

Today is the day for the fashion show

Even if all was ready...khushi is tensed...she's even more tensed than Arnav

She was running here and there, controlling the last preparations...

She's wearing one of her creations; a red and black half saree with golden works on it ...

She looks very classy yet...she's looking so attractive on this outfit too

The transparent red pallu shows the lines of her perfect shaped body

She was so busy with the models...

Then the responsible of all the party instructed to the models to join the backstage as the will soon model before so many people coming to discover the new collection of AR Group and especially the "Rebellious" collection made by Mrs Raizada herself

She went with the models in the backstage and took a look from behind curtains at the audience outside...

There will be so many people to assist, she knew but at this amount??! She doesn't imagine, there are journalists, photographers, others celebrate fashioners and creators...khushi held her breath recognizing some...she smiled and then she felt that she's all scared...how all those people would think of her designs, it's true that all this fashion show is not only about her designs but there are also some of the designers of AR Group ...so, what?...they are a one and only Group and now, she's working with them

She stopped thinking hard when she felt a warm kiss on her back...she doesn't have to turn because she knew very well who kissed her and she knew very well this familiar scent...it belongs only to her husband...her love...

-Arnavji...

She whispered

-happy?

She asked with a husky voice, pausing another kiss on her shoulder

-yes...but also I'm so scared!

She confessed

-come!

He said holding her hand and drugging her out of all the noises and persons on the backstage

The responsible of the party stopped them

-ASR, the show will begin after 10 minutes!

Arnav just gestured to him nodding his head and then walked outside with khushi

In the back of the palace where the fashion show is organized, there is a garden which is a desert now as all the people are inside...

Arnav pulled her against him

-Arnavji?...what are you doing?...we shouldn't...we...

-shhh...you've been working for so much and now, you should take a deep breath...your responsibility ended here, so, no more tension because tonight you will just reap the rewards of your hard work!

He said all confident

She smiled and nodded...he's right, she's been making herself all the more stressed and now by him just talking those words, all the stress and tension disappeared like by magic

She hugged him so tight, closing her eyes and taking her time to smell his enigmatic perfume...

-my bacha!...you worked hard!

-you're my reward...you only!

Arnav tightened his hug

They stand like that for some moment before they break the hug

Khushi looked down shyly and then she looked at him...it's now that she could see how elegant he was with his black three pieces suit tonight...

She hold his hand

-Arnavji..come...our fashion show will start so soon! Come! Don't you want to see that!

She smiled excitedly

-no...wait!

He stopped her

-before we enter...close your eyes!

Khushi felt all shy

-what?...no Arnavji...not here, please

Arnav arched his eyebrow with a smirk

-what do you think I'm goanna do, khushi?

She looked down and then she takes off her hand from his hand and held her pallu tight

He smiled

-naughty

He said huskily coming close

-we have all the night...

He comes even closer to whisper in her ear

-I can't wait to take this beautiful outfit off and make you wear my kisses...

-Arnavji...

She puts her palm against his lips

He kissed her palm, holding her wrist and taking her hand gradually off his mouth, he smiled

-close your eyes...

She did as he said, finally...

Arnav takes off his pocket a black box

And then he made khushi's wear the most precious jewel ever...a bracelet made all from diamond

-open your eyes!

Khushi looked at the bracelet and she looked at Arnav instantly

-you loved it?

Khushi smiled touching his gift

-a lot

She whispered

-that's the gift for my successful wife...who will become the most famous fashion designer ever!

-Arnavjii...

She said biting her lower lip

-it's too early to say this...

-oh really?...you will see by yourself so soon!

-Arnavji?

-hmm?

-I love you!

He held her waist, kissed her forehead

-I know!

and both walk inside again...

*****

Among all those people, there are sits reserved to Raizada family of course, the couple went there and greets all their guests, one minute before the beginning of the show...the photographers were already taking photo after photo...but Arnav seems not caring about all the media or people around, he brings khushi's hand every time to his lips to pause a warm kiss and he smiled every time to her to assure her that everything will go smoothly...

The fashion show starts and that wasn't strange to AR group, it was a success but then, the deigns of khushi added something special and authentic to all the modern models, the group presents...

No doubt Rebellious collection interests everyone present there, some bloggers and journalists come in the end of the show to ask Arnav and khushi who finds it difficult to handle all those people

Arnav invited all to the buffet and promise that they will answer all their questions as soon as possible...

In another spacious hall, a little party was organized to celebrate the successful accomplishment of the fashion show...

In there, Arnav announced that the whole collection of Rebellious is made by his wife and all the credits go to her...another wave of photographers and journalists want khushi to answer their questions...and khushi answered some and then she felt all weak of all this, she looked once at Arnav and he understands...it's her first success and it's really difficult to handle all those people who are so eager to know about all...he thanks them and gestured to his men to interfere...

After all this party is made to celebrate and only celebrate...the success of his lovely bacha...he held her hand

Some of the guests start to drink, some other to dance as there is a slow music coming to give the party a soft ambiance for now and some are always trying to talk with the famous couple...but they can't or else they will thrown out by Arnav's security

Arnav handed a glace of juice to khushi

-have it! Breathhh!

He winked to her

He was right...she's been holding her breath for so long, receiving surprise after surprise

She took a deep breath and smiled and then drinks all her juice, giving Arnav a thankful look

-thank you

He smiled

-you're welcome, bacha!

Arnav was about to lean and kiss her cheek but was surprised by a tall beautiful woman coming and hugging him

-Mr. Raizada...

Khushi's eyes opened wide but then, the girl turned and hugged her too

-Mrs. Raizada! You look fabulous...I mean I come to congratulate you both...I'm model and I would love to work with you...in the future...

Khushi was blind by the entire media thing that she just noticed that there are also so many beautiful girls who don't have any shame to check her husband out and this model has hugged him without shame too

Khushi gets closer from Arnav and naturally side hugs him

-it's not the right place to submit your candidacy!

Khushi said with a fake smile

The model nodded

-of course...I will have to come to the office and meet you both!

Arnav smirked and kissed khushi's forhead, no doubt his bacha is such a tigress in such circumstances

The model smiled and excused herself, walking away

-I can't believe she hugged so tight!

-she hugged you also so tight!

Arnav answered

-warning, now be ready to the consequences of success! No one will miss us, beautiful lady!

Arnav added while seeing two hands hugging khushi from behind but he smiled as this is only Anjeli and her little belly

-oh gooodd...how proud I'm! how proud I'm...I'm happy and also the baby is happy!

Anjeli showed them her growing belly and khushi touched it gently

-he has only to come this baby and I will design all his outfits!

-is that a promise!

-of course!

Khushi smiled

-I will offer the fabrics!

Arnav added

-what a chance to have you both in the future life of my baby!

Ajeli's face is glowing the more seeing the happiness of those two who were at first denying their marriage, now, she could feel how much close they are to each other

-you know we have to celebrate this properly

Anjeli added

-where is Dada?

Khushi asked looking all around

-just there, he coming with dadi to congratulate you also!

Both dada and dadi look all elegant too, walking towards khushi and Arnav

-congrats...congrats my dear!

Dada hold khushi's hand

-when Arnav show me your work, at first, I knew how much talented you are but now, seeing all your work, I must said, you're awesome designer

-thank you, dada

Khushi leaned to have his blessing

-dadi...

Dadi is as usually showing her attitude, not read to congratulate khushi, she only congratulate Arnav and gives him her blessings

And when she finished, she looked at khushi...and then after so much time, she gave her blessings to khushi too...

Khushi smiled and then hugs her, dadi doesn't knew how to react at this, she just breaks the hug silently, she can't change...dadi will remain dadi, dada smiled

-let's return home, now, I think it's late!

Anjeli nodded

-yeah...let's go but of course you should stay and took care of your guests

She added

Khushi and Arnav smile

When the family and most of the guests left, Arnav finds the atmosphere all romantic and calm...he invited khushi for a dance

Feeling her close to him...and feeling him so close to her...they are lost in the dance...a dance which last so long...

The last guests leave and khushi was lost on him and he's lost on her...

His eyes were full of promises and her eyes are shinning from happiness...

All lost...they hear someone clapping around...

They both turn to see no one other than Sheetal...

She was wearing a long black dress, it's so elegant if she's not looking all messed up...her eyes makeup was messed as she seems like she were crying...from her expression, anyone could see that she's more than just sad, she's desperate but she managed to smile

-perfect couple ever!

-what are you doing here?

-you've never been like this with me, why?...you were always distant, always so busy with your work, even when I went away you never follow, even if I was with someone else trying to provoke, you were so indifferent, you never called, you ignored me! And for her, you're doing all this, why??

Arnav starts to feel angry and looked around to see where are his security men...why no one stopped this crazy woman from coming in

-oh...you're searching for your men?...it's so easy to get rid of them...I had only to make one drunk and then snatch this of him!

Sheetal said searching in the back of her dress belt and taking out, suddenly, a gun and pointing it on khushi directly

Arnav was so fast to hide his wife behind him

-you stop this nonsense, sheetal!

He said losing his mind

Khushi was trembling behind him but trying also to protect him, wanting to take his position

-shhh...khushi

He tried to maintain the same position...he wants khushi behind him

-you're protecting her...you love her that much?

Sheetal said while her eyes were all teary...it wasn't a question...it was just an affirmation

-sheetal, why you're doing this? You're the one walking away of me?

-I was just testing you...

-you hurt me at that time and now, when you come back it's only to hurt me more!

-I won't kill you!

Sheetal nodded negatively but the gun was pointed towards the couple

-sheetal, I think you need to rest

-yeah...I need...

Arnav felt her loosening her hold on the gun

-please, take this gun off!

-no way!

Sheetal held the gun tighter

Arnav tried to move

-stay where you are or I will...

-ok...ok...

Arnav assured her that he's remaining at the same place, khushi's hand clutching his coat tight

-listen, sheetal, I can give you whatever you want, just ask for it!

Arnav changes his plan

-money, is that what you want?

-wrong!...I want only you, I want all what you're doing with her...your kisses and care...and a long dance...divorce her or I will kill her!

Khushi felt her heart is about to break

-no f***ing way!

Arnav said in between his teeth

That's when Sheetal pressed on the gun
