Chapter 110

"Done?", asked Arnav and Khushi nodded.

"Come", said Arnav as he takes her hand and went to entrance of Mandir.

"Arnavji, what are you doing?", said Khushi and look back at their family. The Raizadas were smiling ... her Dadi was not happy. Her Buaji and parents were looking at them curiously and her sister had a teasing smile on her face.

"I just want some minutes with you", said Arnav as they both climb down the stairs.

"Arnavji ... Naniji, Buaji, Amma what they will say?", said Khushi worriedly.

"They won't say anything Khushi, because they know we have only few minutes to talk ... they will be coming down soon", said Arnav and stop at the last step.

They both stood there, looking at each other ... getting their fill. Their one hand was clasped together.

"4 and half day more", said Arnav as he tugs her close.

"Then we will be together forever", said Khushi shyly.

"Then I won't let you go away from me even for a minute", said Arnav.

"Acha, then what about your work?", said Khushi with a teasing smile.

"Oh don't worry about that, I have already covered it", said Arnav with a smirk.

"Matlab?", said Khushi being confuse. "Nothing ... you will know when the time comes", said Arnav as he pull her more close. Khushi put her hand over his chest to put some distance.

"What are you doing Arnavji?", said Khushi as she look around, few passing ladies give them looks.

"Nothing, just getting my fill of you", said Arnav intensely.

Khushi looks back at him and get lost in his soulful eyes.

"Oh get a room you two", a voice came from behind. Khushi quickly move away from Arnav. Arnav presses his lips in annoyance as he turned his head and saw NK standing 2 feet away, grinning.

"NK", Khushi said his name in a warning tone, as if telling him not to tease them.

"What NK? At least look around, at which place you both are standing", said NK, he is not letting a chance go, to tease them ... especially ASR, which is a rare case.

"Look Aunty and Buaji are coming down as well, what if they saw you guys doing something ... ahem", said NK as he fake cough at the end.

Khushi mouth open in an O at his dare, teasing like this infront of Arnavji, her eyes darted towards Arnav, who had an expressionless face ... but she knew better ... something will come out any minute now.

Before Khushi could say something, Buaji shouted her name. Khushi turn away and climb up the stairs.

"So ASR, what else huh?", asked NK, grin still intact on his face.

If Arnav will behave normal with the teasing, then NK was wrong. ASR never likes if someone disturb his private moment, especially with his love, when he is hardly getting any time to spend with her. And he knew well how to get back.

"Nothing else, you tell ...", said Arnav as move close to NK and said in mock tone, "Sheela".

NK was taken aback with what ASR addresses him. His grin gone as realization dawn on him by looking at Arnav's smirk.

"You really look ... um lovely in a saree Sheela", said Arnav smirks looking at NK's horrified face.

NK turns and shouts, "KHUSHII", as he climbs the stairs. Khushi look down and sees an angry NK coming towards her. NK grabs her arm and take her away so that Garima and Buaji couldn't hear them.

"You told ASR", said NK in anger.

"Told what?", asked Khushi, confused about why he is angry.

"About me wearing a saree, and dancing on that stupid Sheela ki jawani song", said NK.

"Ohh", Khushi realizes what he was saying and then giggles.

"Its not funny ... you", NK was saying when he remember something, "Wait, don't tell me you send that video to ASR".

"wo .. um ...", Khushi didn't know what to say ... NK seems pretty angry now.

"I told you not to send that video or pics to someone", said NK in anger.

"You said not to send it to friends, you didn't say anything about not sending it to my Fiance", said Khushi quickly as she run towards her mother as NK move his hand, to pull he hair, which he use to do whenever he gets annoyed or angry on Khushi.

"Khushi, you didn't do good", said NK as he tries to catch Khushi, who was using her mother as a shield.

"Khushi ... what are you doing?", said Garima.

"Aye sankadevi paglaye gayi ha ka?", said Buaji.

"Aunty, tell her that I am not going to talk to her. Everyone is going to make fun of me", said NK stomping his foot like a child.

"Why they will make fun of you Beta?", asked Garima and then grabs's Khushi's ear, "Tell me what you did?".

"Ahh ahh ... Amma nothing", said Khushi.

"Arey aunty what happened?", asked Anjali who was coming down with Payal and Akash and saw Garima twisting Khushi's ear.
Nani, Mami, Shalini Masi and Khushi's Dadi were coming behind them.

"Nothing bitya, one more shitani of this girl, don't know when she is going to behave like a mature girl", said Garima leaving Khushi's ear.

Khushi pouted as she rubs her ear. Anjali smiles and said, "We don't want her to change anuty, let her be like she is now", making Khushi smile wide.

"Arey Anjali ji, you don't know how crazy she can get. Ask Arnavji, I am sure he knows it well", said Payal.

"Jiji ...", Khushi give her sister a warning look.

"What I know?", said Arnav as he climbs up the stairs, curious to know what they all were talking about.

"Nothing ...", both Khushi and Payal said at the same time ... making Anjali giggles some more.

Arnav raise his eyebrow at Khushi, who smile back at him. He looks at his sister, "Di, aren't you getting late for the appointment", as he stress on the last word.

"Oh yes, yes", said Anjali and then looks at Garima, "Aunty, I have booked an appointment for Khushi at the spa, so can I take her with me now ... and yes Payal too".

"Ji ... what I will do there?", said Payal.

"What every girl do there", said Anjali, "Get relax and enjoy".

"But beta, there was no need for this", Garima was saying when Anjali cut in, "Arey aunty, there is. Being a bride is stressful so a visit to spa is relaxing".

"Haan aur nahi toh ka ... Bridwa and no spa tripwa ... impossible", said Mamiji. "Khushi Bitya must look tip top ... akir ko hamar Arnav bitwa ki Dhulanya ha".

Khushi blush at this remark and avert her eyes from Arnav, who gave a lop sided smile to her.

"Aur hum ko bhi toh jana ha spaa, one and only Mami of groomwa ... should also looks tip top", said Mami.

"Of course Ma, how can we forget about you", said Akash, "You should look the best", as he winked at Arnav who just shakes his head in reply.

"Are we going to stand here? I think we should move ahead, many preparations needs to be done, which cannot happen by standing here and talking", said Dadi, who was getting irritated with a long talking session.

"Yes we should move", said NK quickly and takes Garima's hand, "Come aunty, I have parked the car this way".

NK had dropped Garima, Khushi and Payal to Mandir in his car and then went to run some errand. Shashi, Buaji and Dadi came in the car, which Arnav appointed for them.

"Anjali ji, there is really no need for me to come, i am anyways not fond of spas. And someone has to look after Arush as well", said Payal as they climb down the rest of steps.

"Don't worry, we will take Arush with us", said Anjali, who looks back and saw Arush in Rahul's arm, who was coming down with Shashi and Mamaji.

"Yes we can, but I think its better not to take him there. We all will be busy with treatments and Arush will get cranky. At home, there will be me, Amma, Baba and Buaji to give him attention" said Payal as she place her hand over Anjali's arm.

"Yes Anjaliji Jiji it right. Arush will get cranky there. Is going to spa really necessary? I already went to parlour last week and have things done", said Khushi.

"Oh no, you're the bride, so yes Spa is necessary. Believe me you will love it Khushi", said Anjali.

"Alright then, Khushi will go. But please don't mind Anjali ji, I will take your leave now. Its Arush feeding time as well", said Payal as she took Arush from Rahul, who had come to them till then.

"Its ok", said Anjali with a smile.

"Mama", said Arush as he extended his hands towards Khushi.

"No mama Arush, don't my baby want to play with Assi ... I have choco you know", said Payal.

"Jiji ... are you bribing my baby?", said Khushi.

"Of course, your baby only knows one other thing except her Mama and that is choco, right Arush?", said Payal.

Arush looks at Payal and then at his Mama, as if deciding whom to go.

"Chocooo dooh", said Arush after few seconds, making Anjali and Payal laugh and Khushi pouted.

"Haww Arush, so bad. Choco is more important than Mama", said Khushi as she loving smack on his back.

"Choco chahiye", said Arush patting Payal's cheek.

"Jiji please only half of that small dairy milk", said Khushi as they went towards their cars.

"I know Khushi, now go ... enjoy your spa trip", said Payal in a teasing tone and went to NK's car.

Garima went to NK's car and he loaded the bag in back seat. Payal went into the back seat with Arush. Shashi, Buaji and Dadiji went in another car.

Nani, Mamaji, Dhruv and Minnie went to Akash's car, meanwhile Rahul, Anjali, Khushi, Mamiji and Shalini Masi went to Anjali's car, which was right beside Akash's car. Arnav too followed them.

"Let me call Lavanya, I did told her to come here", said Anjali as she put the thal on roof of car and opens her clutch.

"I already called her before coming here, she will be here any minute now", said Arnav and then move near Khushi, "Call me when you get free ok?".

Khushi nodded her head in reply.

"But how are you going to talk to her, remember your phone is with me", said Anjali in teasing tone.

"Di, do you really think that I have only one phone?", said Arnav as he takes out a cellphone from his pocket, making Anjali's mouth open in astonishment.

"I am always prepare Di", said Arnav with a smirk waving the cell phone in hand.

Rahul and Akash chuckles at Anjali's expression, as she huffs in defeat.

Arnav turn back, giving a last look to Khushi, and move towards his car, which was parked few distance away.

Just then Lavanya came there, in her car and press the horn. She brings the car near to Anjali's.

"You go with her, I will drive Mamiji and Masiji to spa", said Rahul as he opens the back door. Shalini Masi went inside and Mamiji sit in the front seat.

Anjali and Khushi went inside Lavanya's car and everyone move towards their destinations.

"Hey khushi", said Lavanya as she look at Khushi from the rear view mirror.
"Hi Lavanya ji", replied Khushi.

"So everything went fine with the pooja?", asked Lavanya.

"Ji Lavanya ji", replied Khushi.

"Hey is this ASR's car?", asked Lavanya as she saw the very familiar white SUV ahead of them, while going out of the Mandir premises.

"He attended the pooja? That too in Mandir?", asked Lavanya in shock tone.

"Yeah tell me about it", said Anjali in a little annoyed tone, "When I asked him this morning to attend the Pooja, he denied straight away. I had to snatch his cell phone and bribe him that if he attends the pooja then I will return his phone, but he ... he still didn't budge".

"Really? you bribed him with his cell phone? Don't you know he has other cell phones, then why would he take your bribe in the first place?", said Lavanya as she giggles.

"Oh don't laugh ... he already told me that", said Anjali as she smacks her shoulder.

"Just relax babe ... have some hot massage at spa ok", said Lavanya.

"Oh I will, its been long since I last went to spa", said Anjali.

"By the way, how did you get the spot at the Lilly Waters?", asked Lavanya, "Don't you have to make the appointment like a month ago there?"

"Yeah, its difficult to take the appointment there, as they only takes specific set of clients", said Anjali, "But I didn't make the appointment, Arnav did".

"What ASR?", said Lavanya and then her eyes darted towards Khushi, "Oho ... so a special treatment for his very special bride haan".

"Lavanyaji", Khushi make a face at her, not wanting to get tease ... but when she was able to stop the joint force of Anjali and Lavanya ... so all through the drive she got teased by them.

True to Anjali's word, Khushi love the treatments scheduled for her. The manager was told in advance that ASR's to-be-wife is coming in today. So she had everything ready ... she knows well who ASR is and everything needs to be perfect as demanded by the man.
Khushi was first taken for manicure and pedicure along with foot massage. Then the facial started, first with the cleansing, then massage with strawberry and apricot scrubs and then in last, the facial massage with lilac moisturizer. Her face was glowing when she saw herself in the mirror, after it is done.

Next was the sauna bath ... Khushi was reluctant to take off her clothes and put on just a towel, but later on agrees, when Lavanya too went in the sauna bath with her. After 20 minutes of steam, she was taken for body massage, as she had already done the waxing. She is fortunate that she didn't need much of it.

She felt like moaning when the assistant works on her back with her hands, massaging out knots, which she didnt know were there. The aroma of different kinds of oils fill her nostrils, she felt relaxed and wanted to sleep. After half hour, the assistant left, saying that she will be back after few minutes, giving some time to Khushi to bask in the relaxation she had received.

After few minutes, she was taken for the bubble bath. A large bath tub filled with aromatic bubbles and fruity oils. Assistant turned around as Khushi discarded her robe and went in the tub. When Khushi settled down, the assistant massages her shoulders and scalp with oil. After few minutes she washes Khushi's hair. After that assistant left saying that when Khushi feels done, she can wash the soapy foam in the shower stall, located at the corner and press the bell when she needs her back. Khushi rubs the soapy bubbles on her legs and body and then relaxed back. After much needed time, she move out of bath tub and went to shower stall. She puts on her robe and presses the bell. The Assistant came and took Khushi to the hair styling section, where another girl blow dried her hair. When its done, Khushi went to changing room and put on her clothes. She saw Anjali and Lavanya in the lobby area waiting for her.

"All done?", asked Anjali and Khushi nodded.

"So how was it?", asked Lavanya.

"It was ... um awesome", said Khushi making both Anjali and Lavanya smile.

"See I told you, you will love it", said Anjali.

"Are both are done as well?", asked Khushi, "Where is Mamiji and Shalini ji?"

"Yeah we are done too. Mamiji and Masi went back an hour ago, as they got free earlier. Rahul came to pick them up", said Anjali.

"Now come lets go , I am really hungry ... we are stopping at the nearest caf", said Lavanya as she drags both Khushi and Anjali out of spa.

Khushi takes her cell out, after sitting in the car, and message Payal that she will be home soon. And then she sends a message to Arnav.

"Just got free, now going to caf with Anjaliji and Lavanaji. Thanks for the spa, really loved it".

After few seconds she got the reply from Arnav:

"I knew you will, sweetheart. (kiss emoticon)"

Khushi blush a little and send the same emoticon back to Arnav.

In Evening around 7 pm @ Shantivan --------

Aman enter through the front door, carrying 4 garment bags in one hand, draped over his back and 3 shopping bags in another hand.

"Hari ...", Aman call out.

Hari Prakash came out of Kitchen, "Ji Bhaiyaa", he came near Aman and extended his hand to take some of stuff but Aman shakes his head.

"Just bring me some cold water please and yeah coffee too, if you can", said Aman as they both move towards living room.

"Ji Bhaiya, I was making tea for everyone, I will make coffee for you", said Hari Prakash.

"Thanks man, and one for ASR too", said Aman as he places the stuff on one sofa and sit on other.

Rohan was also sitting there reading some files, he looked up as Aman came there. Aman too saw him there, but didn't say anything. He took out his cell and sends a message to someone. Just then Arnav came down, as Aman had already informed him when he entered the Shantivan's gate.

"Here you go ASR, you clothes for tomorrow and Sangeet ceremony", said Aman as he stood up and pick up the 2 black garment bags, "And there are your shoes", he pointed towards the shopping bags.

Hari Prakash came there with a glass of water, Aman took it and begins to drink.

"Hari Prakash, takes these to my room", said Arnav pointing towards the stuff on the sofa.

"Um the brown bags are for Anjali Di", said Aman as Hari Prakash pick all the stuff.

"You need to try them out and let me know if they need alternations", said Aman.

"Why? I did give my measurements, so I guess they will be made according to that ... I am not trying them now", said Arnav

"Well you have to ... Khushi's order", said Aman as she smirk.

Before Arnav could reply back to this, Aman cell rings.

"Speaking of which ...", said Aman and picks the call, "Hey Khushi".

"Yes I gave him his clothes" ... "No he didn't yet" ... "Yes I told him that" ... "Why don't you ask him yourself if he likes them or not" ... "Oh, did you both fight again?".

Arnav gestures Aman to put the call on speaker, Aman shakes his head ... but Arnav grabs his cell phone and put the call on speaker.

"I didn't fight with him, he is being irritating ... the lard Governor he is", came Khushi's voice.

Aman tried to suppress his chuckle.

Rohan was surprise that Khushi is using a name for Arnav and he is pretty normal about it.

"Khushi, like I told you thousands time before, you will get your clothes and everything tomorrow morning and they will fit just fine", said Arnav.

"Aman ... you Arnavji ka chamcha ... you gave the phone to Arnavji when I told you I don't want to talk to him", said Khushi irritatingly.

"Khushi I didn't, he took it", said Aman.

"Its on speaker Khushi", said Arnav.

"You Laad Governor ... don't talk to me. Do you know how annoying and worrisome it is? that its my Mehndi function tomorrow and I don't even know what I am going to wear and on top of that everyone is teasing me about it here", said Khushi

When Khushi came back to home, she saw her Jiji getting ready her and her Amma's clothes for tomorrow's mehndi function. She saw her Jiji's dress for the first time, a pretty orange and hot pink lehenga choli. And she had this sudden urge, wanting to see her own dress. So she went to her room and quickly dialed Arnav, asking him about her dress, that why he didn't send it to her yet. Arnav replied that she will get her dress tomorrow, making Khushi angry. What if the dress doesn't fit or she doesn't have the matching jewelry or bangles. But she couldn't say more when Arnav told her that she will be getting every accessory along with the dress.

One part of her was very happy, that Arnav has taken care of everything for her. But the other part was annoyed that she is the bride and she don't even know single thing what she will be wearing tomorrow on her own Mehendi function ... and the teasing from her Jiji and Aashima on the same matter was not helping ... so she was very very annoyed at the moment.

"Khushi ... that's the point of suprising you ...", Arnav was saying when Khushi cut in.

"Surprise gaya bhatr mein ... I am telling you Arnavji, if my dress doesn't fit me ... even an inch is not right that I am not going to come for the function ... then you can sit in my place and have Mehendi applied on your hands ... samjhey!", with that Khushi cut the call.

"What the ...", said Arnav. Aman chuckles fully seeing his expression.

"Shut up Aman", said Arnav as he throws the cell phone at him and then move towards the stair, going to his room to call Khushi from his own cell phone. While Aman sit down back on the sofa.

Rohan watched all this and felt a little jealous, that Khushi is friends with Aman as well. He had started to feel lonely here, only Anjali Di talks with him properly. Nani ji too talk to him properly but she mostly spends time in her room and in holy books. He doesn't have someone to go out with, share his views or talk about various things like sport, news, politics etc. He misses his friends in USA and he was beginning to think to go back there. He thought he could be friends with Khushi but she also denied, because he knew Akash or Aman won't be friends with him as they are too much loyal to Arnav and Rahul too, keep his distance from him. As if they follow Arnav like a God, if he doesn't talk to someone then they are also gona not talk to that person. And it really irritates him that everything thinks so highly of him.

Aman saw Rohan lost in thoughts and felt that he should talk to him. Although he doesn't think much good of him, given his tussle with Arnav as he more than a friend to him, still he felt the need to have good terms.

"So um Rohan, how the work going?", asked Aman. Rohan came out of his thoughts and was surprise that Aman addressed him.

"Yeah its going fine, what about you?", asked Rohan.

"Everything is good. With ASR's wedding going on, so the pressure is less as he hadn't taken any new project", said Aman.

"You haven't thought of starting your own business? You're very much capable of it, why still working under someone", said Rohan as he was very curious to know why Aman is working under a man like ASR who have such a temper and arrogant attitude.

But it seems that he still doesn't know that Arnav is not arrogant with the people whom he consider as his own.

"May be, I haven't thought about it nor I want to think ... I am very much satisfy where I am as of now", said Aman

"Don't you get irritate or tired of Arnav's temper? I know that well he is not an easy boss", said Rohan.

"Yes he is not, and I think it's good in a way that it keeps employees in their limit and they don't get out of hand or take the work lightly. And everyone knows how one can learn so much under ASR's guidance. I know I did a lot" said Aman ... his voice and expression showing the pride and gratitude for the said man.

Just then Lavanya and Anjali came down, "Aman ...", Lavanya called out as she move near to Aman, who stands up seeing her coming and hug her.

"What are you doing here? I thought you will be heading back home after dropping Khushi and Di", said Aman pulling back.

"Yeah I was, but Anji told me to stay for tea and we had to discuss few things for tomorrow", said Lavanya, "Leave that, where are my clothes?".

"In my car ... I thought I will ...", Aman was saying when Lavanya cut in, "Great ... give me the keys, I want to see them now".

Aman takes out the keys and hand it to Lavanya, "Thanks babe, I will be back", Lavanya kissed him on cheek and went to front door.

Lavanya and Aman are a couple? Rohan was shocked to realize that. Previously he had seen them together on Khushi's birthday but they didn't seem like that they were together and he didn't pay attention to this. But now seeing them hugging and Lavanya giving him kiss, tells a different story. Wow, even Aman got a hot girlfriend like Lavanya, thought Rohan, who he used to think of as a goofy and shy guy. Great ... it seems like, only he is left as a single guy around here.

Around Mid-Night @ Buaji's House -------------

Arnav stopped his car, a few distance from the house. Khushi had straightly refused to talk to him, her anger haven't cooled down. So Arnav left with only one thing, to meet her. So he waited till everyone retired to their rooms and he went out. He takes his cell out and sends a message to Khushi, hoping that she reads it and he won't have to press the house bell.

Khushi was getting ready for bed when her cell beeped. She picked it up and saw a messaged from Arnav. At first she thought to ignore it, but was also curious to know what he had said. So she opens the message and her eyes widened reading that he is standing outside. She quickly went to window and saw him standing few feet away. He waves his hand seeing Khushi at the window.

She dials his number, "What are you doing here?", asked Khushi as soon as he picks the call.

"Or what else should I have done? You were not talking to me properly", said Arnav in irritating tone.

"And I won't, you know the reason", said Khushi.

"Khushi come out, I need to talk to you. Or else I will ring the bell ... the choice is yours", said Arnav as he move near the window.

Khushi wanted to retort back, but knew well that he will exactly as he said. So she asked him to come to the back side and she went out of room after checking that her Jiji was fast asleep with Arush on bed.

She very slowly opens the latch of the back door; everyone had just gone to their rooms. She move out and slowly close the door. Next second she yelped, seeing Arnav just behind her.

Arnav wound his hand around her waist, move away from door and tighten his hold on her as Khushi tried to free herself.

"Leave me ... you .. you ...", Khushi huff with annoyance.

Arnav hide his face in crook of her neck, and takes a deep breath, "Hmmm ... you smell so nice".

Khushi closes her eyes as she felt his hot breath on her skin ... she grips his shoulders. Arnav presses wet kisses on crook of her neck going towards her jaw. She turned her face away ... chanting in her mind ... that she is angry at him and not give into his seduction. But when had she succeeded in not getting affected by his kisses.

His lightly bites on her neck making her moan and the then move upwards, finally reaching her lips and without giving her chance to back out or move he take her upper lips between his, starting the all familiar their passionate kiss.

Oh ... hell with being angry, thought Khushi as she too indulge in the hazy kiss. Arnav hands move all over her back and her hands fisted in his hair. They only broke apart when they needed oxygen.

"Arnavji, you cannot do this, that's not fair", said Khushi pouting.

Arnav pecks her lips, "Haven't you heard that everything is fair in love and war".

"I am still angry at you", said Khushi as she tried to move back but Arnav hold was still tight around.

"Acha? It didn't seem so, a few seconds ago", said Arnav in a mischievous tone, "Should I check it again?", as he lean in toward her lips.

"Arnavji ... did you come here to irritate me?", said Khushi as she turn her face away.

"No I came here to manofy my fianc, soon-to-be wife", said Arnav as he move back and cup her face turning it towards him.

"Khushi I know you're angry, but believe me nothing will go wrong in regards of your wedding clothes and other things. I have taken care of each and every thing and make sure that there is not a tiny bit mistake. Like I have said to you before, I want to do this for you, I want to surprise you. I want you to just relax back and enjoy our wedding, I don't want you to get worried about anything", said Arnav.

"I know that but now that the wedding is here, I can't help but get worried. What if something goes wrong and we don't have enough time to rectify it", said Khushi in worried tone.

"You trust me right?", said Arnav.

"Why you ask me this every time? when you know the answer", said Khushi started to get annoyed.

"ok .. ok ... relax ... thats what I want you to do", said Arnav.

"I can't ... its my wedding ... I am the bride here ... I have a right to get worried", said Khushi.

Arnav look at her amusingly, "And I am the groom and I have the right to make everything fine, which I have and will do".

Hearing the word groom, she remembered something, "Have you at least seen your clothes?".

"Yes I did, they are nice", said Arnav.

"Nice, only nice?", said Khushi in anger as she tried to push him away, "you laad governor ... I spend so much time and effort in making them perfect, keeping in mind your taste and comfort and you said they are just nice .. leave me right now!", as she smacks his arm 2-3 times.

Arnav couldn't help but laugh at her angry cute expression. Khushi looks at him in awe, she always find him laughing abundantly like this very mesmerizing.

"You know, you look very cute when angry", said Arnav.

"Haw ... Arnavji, you're so bad. Fine I will not say anything now", said Khushi.

Arnav pecks on her nose, "Ok ok ... the clothes were very good, I loved them".

"Thank you very much, wish I could say the same ... but I can't", said Khushi still annoyed.

"No worries, you will be saying thanks and many things tomorrow, I am sure", said Arnav confidently.

"Acha gi, so much confident, what if I don't like them?", said Khushi.

"That's not possible, I am sure you will. You will see not only you, but others will also be praising about your dress", said Arnav.

"We will see then, and what if it doesn't happen?", said Khushi in challenging tone.

"Are you again challenging me?", asked Arnav.

Alarm bells ring in Khushi's head, telling her not to go in that direction, but when she had ever learned to back down.

"Yes I am, if I don't get the praise for my dress then ... then ... you will dance full Bollywood style on our sangeet", said Khushi.
"Oh it won't happen, because like always, I will win", said Arnav, "And you will have to do anything I ask for".

"Not anything ... I placed the condition, then you also have to place a condition", said Khushi.

"Hmm ... ok then if I win, then you have to go out with me after the ceremony", said Arnav.

"We can't go together, you know we are not allowed", said Khushi.

"Have that stopped us before, you had said yourself, whats the fun if we don't break the rules. We met at on Friday night, and even now we are together", said Arnav.

That made her realized where they are standing, so she quickly push Arnav as his hold had gotten loose around her, "Arnav you should leave now, what if someone sees you here?".

"Khushi, relax. They all must be asleep by now", said Arnav.

"If i am awake till now, then someone can also be awake ... now go please", said Khushi pushing him a little.

"Ok i am going, i will see you tomorrow then", said Arnav.

"Only if there is no problem with my dress", said Khushi putting her hands over hips.

"Believe me, there won't be", said Arnav as he came close to her, "And i will wait to see you in that dress, which i had personally designed for you", running his finger over her cheek.

Khushi gulped seeing the intesnity in his eyes.

"Tomorrow Khushi ...", said Arnav as he take backward steps, his eyes still on Khushi.

She also kept on watching him go, until he was out of sight. She put her hand over her heart, which was doing its usual Dhak Dhak ...

"Tomorrow ...", she whispers with a shy smile and then went back in.

TO BE CONTINUED ...



I really wanted to add the Mehendi Ceremony in this update, but i was not getting much ideas about how to write or portray the scenes. Believe me, i did tried to write, delete and re-write, but it was just not coming out right. So i ended the chapter here.
