Chapter 115

Around 5pm - @ AR -----------

The Sangeet function is being held at AR. Though at first Lavanya and Anjali decided to held it at some hotel but Arnav denied saying that it involves the risk of security breach as he cannot trust hotel management to handle paparazzies. At AR they have their own management and security details which will also keep the reporters and media away.

When Guptas have reached AR, they were in awe of the surroundings and the huge structure stood in front of them. They were little intimated seeing few reporters and Media vans which were also present there, but they were outside the premises of AR. Guards were strictly ordered not to allow anyone of them inside. The cars entering through the gates were checked by security personals and Aman was personally checking the guests to make sure no one, who is not invited, comes inside.

Khushi's chachi's and cousins were in awe when they entered inside AR building. Akash was standing there to greet them and to take them to the hall.

"Akashji, does these stores open for public?", asked Purvi looking at the dresses through the glass walls of the shops.

"Yes, they are. But for today they are closed", said Akash, "Bhai does not want any outsider to come inside the building today"

"Bitwa your office is very good", said Buaji.

"Thank you Buaji, it's all bhai's hardwork", said Akash.

"You mean Arnavji own this whole building?", asked Sara looking around as they went towards elevators.

"Yes, didn't you see AR written outside the building?", said Payal in stern tone. She never likes Sara. Sara gives her an irritating look., "I asked Akashji, not you".

Before Payal could reply back, Akash said, "Yes, bhai own this whole building. He wanted his own place to work. He wanted AR to be independent". He does not want the argument to start between two cousins.

Payal give him a disapproving look and turn her head away. Akash made a mental note to talk to her about this later.

Khushi's cousin's started to feel jealous of her, that she is getting married to such a big and rich personality. Sara and Purvi wanted same for themselves; A rich husband. And they both had their eyes on Akash.

Khushi's chachi's also started to feel jealous of Garima, when they entered the hall and saw the welcome they got by Anjali, Rahul, Mamaji and Mamiji. Anjali and Mami hugged Garima, Buaji and Khushi's chachi's while Mamaji and Rahul greeted Shashi, his friends and brothers warmly.

Khushi's chachi's couldn't help but whisper to each other, how lucky Garima is that she hadn't have to spend a single penny on the arrangements as they were done by groom's side as normally Mehendi function is arranged by the bride's side.

Garima and Buaji looked around appreciating the arrangements. Payal told them how Anjali and Lavanyaji came up with the Arabian-Asian contemporary theme for the Sangeet as they wanted to break the norm of Sangeet dcor being always colorful.

After few minutes, Khushi also reached AR. She was greeted warmly by Anjali and Lavanya, hugging her. They both were in awe of her dress. She seems to be shining in that purple gold lehenga choli having mirror work all over.

"Gosh, its gorgeous. I want one same like this for my wedding as well", said Lavanya. "But I doubt that ASR will design for me".

"Oh don't worry Lavanyaji, I will make one for you", said Khushi.

"Really?", asked Lavanya and Khushi nodded her head, "Of course".

"Good then, I will make you design my whole wedding trousseau", said Lavanya making Anjali and Khushi smile.

Lavanya lead her to stage explaining about the theme she and Anjali decided upon for tonight. Khushi now understood that why Aashima, Divya, Poonam, Naina, Payal, Lavanya and Anjali were wearing lehenga cholis of light and dark blue color combination. They are all color coordinating even today.

Khushi looked at the one step stage done in Arabian-Asian contemporary fusion style and the sitting arrangement on both side, was done in the same style with elongated blue sofas paired with long rounded cushions. Brown wooden dance floor was in the middle.

Just then a man in early thirties came to them with a modern digital camera in his hand. Khushi have seen him before, but couldn't recall his name.

"Khushi this is Jeff our head photographer", said Lavanya.

"oh yeah, I remember now. Hi Jeff", said Khushi with a wave of her hand.

"Hi Khushi ... you look damn gorgeous. I can't wait to capture your beauty in this", said Jeff pointing to his camera.

Khushi blush a little at the complement, "Thanks".

"Ok listen, I don't want you to be conscious of me and this camera. Just think that I am not here. Because I believe that best shots came when the opposite person is not posing for camera", said Jeff and Khushi nodded her head. Jeff move from there to set up his camera according to lighting.

"Where is Arnavji? Hasn't he reached yet?", asked Khushi.

"Oh he is here. He reached half an hour ago", said Lavanya.

"Then why he isn't here?", asked Khushi looking around to locate Arnav.

"Because we have a little surprise for your like yesterday", said Lavanya winking to Khushi. "You sit here", Lavanya make her sit on elongated sofa on stage, "ASR will be here in few minutes", saying that Lavanya move towards Anjali.

Khushi started to think what surprise Lavanya is talking about when she heard her name being called and look up to see Prachi sitting beside her, "Khushi, how are you?"

Khushi hug Prachi, "I am good, how are you?".

"Good. Sorry I couldn't stay for long yesterday, we had an early morning meeting for our fall collection", said Prachi.

"Its ok, I understand. How everything going at work?", asked Khushi.

"Good, interesting. We all are excited and nervous. Can you believe we will be show casing our designs in Italy?", said Prachi excitedly.

"That's great, all the best for your work Prachi", said Khushi.

"Thanks, but I really miss you at work", said Prachi, "Even Vijay misses your presence. We use to have fun working with you around. Now it's too serious and gets boring sometime, with no one to joke and tease around".

"Awhh, I miss working too. But what to do, our families decided that I will not come to office till the wedding", said Khushi with a pout. It was true, she really missed working and spending time with her colleagues.

"Will you be joining back after marriage?", asked Prachi.

"Not sure yaar. I will have to discuss this with Arnavji", said Khushi and look around thinking when he will come here. Her patience was running low now, as she wanted to talk to him.

She frowns when she couldn't see even her friends and sister. Anjali, Lavanya and Rahul were also not present in the hall.

It was not a big hall, but enough to hold the function for 60-70 people. The stage was in parallel opposite to the entrance. Before she could stand up to go in search of her friends a voice echoed in the hall.

Baalika Tumhare Sapno Ka Raajkumar, Aa Raha Hai
Varmala Doli Baarat Sajake Dulha, Cha Raha Hai
Shubhmangal Savadhan

(Tenu leke song from movie Salam-e-ishq)

The music started and everyone was looking around to see what is happening.

Hey Ya... Hey Ya...

Dhruv came through the door, wearing light blue kurta, white pajama and dark blue stole around his neck. He strides inside with a dance style and stopped on left side.

Everyone's eyes move towards the entrance.

Hey Ya ... Heeriye Sehra Baandh Ke Main Toh Aaya Re

Next came Akash, wearing same attire as Dhruv, striding in dance style and stopped on the right side.

Hey Ya ... Doli Baarat Bhi Saath Mein Main Toh Laaya Re

Then came Rahul, dancing with the lyrics and stood beside Dhruv

Hey Ya ... Heeriye Sehra Baandh Ke Main Toh Aaya Re

Then came another guy, which Khushi recognized as Akash's friend, Uday. Who stood beside Akash.

Hey Ya ... Doli Baarat Bhi Saath Mein Main Toh Laaya Re

Now came Aman dancing the ghotri style steps and stood in the middle little ahead of Dhruv, Rahul, Akash and Uday.

Ab Toh No Hota Hai Ek Roz Intezaar

Dhruv, Rahul, Akash and Uday, twirl in a circle coming behind Aman, doing the dance steps.

Soni Aaj Nahi Toh Kal Hai

They all move ahead stopping just infront of the dance floor.

Tujhko Toh Bas Meri Honi Re

They all pointed towards Khushi and behind them.

Tenu Leke Main Javanga,

Dhruv, Rahul and Aman move towards left. Akash and Uday move towards right.

And there Khushi saw Arnav standing at the entrance. She stood up in excitement and smile wide seeing him.

Dil Deke Main Javanga

Arnav move ahead.

Tenu Leke Main Javanga,

Dil Deke Main Javanga

Dhruv, Rahul, Aman, Akash and Uday pointed towards Khushi, doing the dance steps and then turn towards Arnav extending their arms.

Hey Ya... Hey Ya...

Arnav move ahead, his expression was a little embarrassed seeing the antics of his cousin brothers, jiju and Aman. Khushi giggles as she knew clearly that Arnav would give anything not to be part of it.

Hey Ya... Hey Ya...

They all move ahead doing the dance steps and Arnav follow them. They came in middle of the dance floor. Anjali and Lavanya also came there.

Aa Keh De Zamane Se, Tu Mere Ishq Ki Hai Daastaan

Rahul grabs Anjali's hand and twirl her to him. Aman do the same with Lavanya.

Hey Ya... Hey Ya...

They all dance together matching the steps. Arnav put his hand over his forehead, rubbing it, trying to mask his irritation at this whole scene.

O Jaaniya Keh De Bahaane Se
Main Tera Jism Hoon, Tu Meri Jaan
Kuch Na Chupa
Mushkilon Se Milta Hai Aisa Sona Pyar
Soni Cheez Tere Jaisi Na Mujhko Na Mujhko Khoni Re

They all dance following the steps of salman khan, Khushi clapped excitedly and Arnav just shook his head. He couldn't help but smile seeing Khushi so happy.

Tenu Leke Main Javanga, Dil Deke Main Javana

Rahul, Anjali, Dhruv move towards left. Aman, Lavanya, Akash and Uday move to right. Arnav was standing in the middle now.

Tenu Leke Main Javanga, Dil Deke Main Javana

Just then, Aashima, Divya and Naina came on stage and drag Khushi with them on the dance floor. They stopped 3- 4 steps away from Arnav.

Now came the female voice of singer:

Kar Diya Hai Tune Mujhko Yun Bekaraar

Aashima nudge her shoulder with Khushi's and pointed towards Arnav.

Maahi Keh Diya Duniya Se .. Main Teri Main Teri Ho Gayi Re

Naina gesture around with her arm and them pointed towards Khushi and then towards Arnav.

Tere Naal Mein Aavaangi, Sasooral Mein Jaavaangi

Divya push Khushi from behind, who stumbled forward. And at the same time Aman pushed Arnav from behind. They both collided with each other. Arnav grabs her shoulder and Khushi blushed deep red as everyone cheered.

Heyyy ... Tenu Leke Main Javanga, Dil Deke Main Javanga

They all danced around Arnav and Khushi in circle, singing the lyrics along.

Hey Ya...

Just as Anjali had instructed him Arnav picks Khushi in his arm, making her gasp and hide her face into his shoulder.

Hey Ya...

Dadi turned her head away, anger rising seeing this scene, which was shameless according to her.

Khushi's chachi's and chacha's had the scandalized expression on their faces. Sara and Purvi's mouthed open at this while Megha cheered loudly.

While Garima blush a little and avert her eyes as Shashi smile at her. Buaji shakes her head at today's generation PDA.

Arnav move towards the stage, a small smile on his lips. He felt satisfied with Khushi in his arm. This was the only part where he wasn't embarrassed to do it.

Hey Ya...

Anjali, Rahul, Aman, Lavanya, Dhruv, Akash and Uday hooted and cheered as Arnav climbed the stage and put Khushi down. He made sure that he brushed his body with hers. Khushi felt goosebumps on her skin.

Hey Ya...

The music ended and everyone clapped loudly and some hooted.

Not caring about the audience, Arnav leaned in the quickly kiss Khushi on her cheek, making her blush red and others ooohed and awwhed.

"Abh to naraz nahi hai na?", asked Khushi

"Ager kahun k abh bhi naraz hunt oh kaisey manao gi?", said Arnav giving her a challenging look and sit on the sofa.

Khushi huffed and sit beside him, thinking what she can do to mannofy her Arnavji.

TO BE CONTINUES in part B ...

So how was Arnav's entry? 😉 Let me know what you guys think of this part.

For khushi's dress, it took me 3 days of searching. i had 2 choices in my mind. purple and gold combination OR navy blue and gold combination. i searched and searched but my heart wasn't picking any. Then just yesterday i stumbled on a website where i saw this purple gold lehenga and just in first glance i decided that this is the one for Khushi.😳

Do let me know as well what you think of the dresses used.

Next part will be up in 3-4 days. I will post a note if it gets delay, though i will try not to. 😳

NO PMs for this part. I will send the PMs for both parts together when i post part B.
