Chapter 128

Next day - Afternoon - @ AR Office

"Don't worry ASR I will handle everything here", said Aman assuring Arnav.

"I know you will", said Arnav as he leaned back in his chair, "Just call me only in case of emergency. Send me emails about the progress. I will check it every now and then and will reply back to you", said Arnav and Aman nod is head.

"So for how long will you be away?", asked Aman.

"3 weeks, it can be extend up to more days", replied Arnav.

Aman gave him a teasing smile, "Well it's astonish to see the great workaholic ASR taking break from work for that long".

"Before I didn't have any reason, but now I have", said Arnav with a light smile thinking of his Khushi.

Just then the intercom ring and Arnav picked the phone. Annie mentions that Rohan want to meet him. He told her to send him in.

"Rohan is here", said Arnav putting the phone down.

Before Aman could ask, the cabin door opened and Rohan came inside, "I am here to discuss about my company", he said coming near the table.

"I didn't say we can do it just tomorrow", said Arnav straightening up.

"I don't like to wait, I want to solve this as soon as possible", said Rohan sitting on the chair without waiting for Arnav to ask him to do so.

"Ok", said Arnav as he opened the drawer and take out a blue file. He extends it towards Rohan, "All details are here, how much shares we bought, the amounts with receipts.".

Rohan opens the files and read through the first page, "82% ...", he murmurs getting astonish and he look up at Arnav, "You bought 82% shares?".

Arnav nodded his head, "It makes me the major shareholder with the power of attorney. Others may have the remaining 18%, but I am the boss. My word will count the most".

Rohan look to side at Aman and then Arnav, "I would rather discuss about it further in private".

Aman understood his meaning and stood up, "I will come back".

"Aman", Arnav called out his name sternly and give him a look saying he would better sit back down, which Aman did.

Arnav then look at Rohan, "There is nothing which Aman doesn't know. I am sure I have mentioned it before that Aman knows the in and out of AR. After me, Aman has all the authority over here. He may be just a general manager here by designation but AR is his as much as it is mine. Everyone knows it here", said Arnav in stern tone, his expression dead serious.

Rohan couldn't help feeling envy with Arnav's declaration, "I am not talking about AR here Arnav, this is my company", said Rohan his tone was serious.

"Was", Arnav said quickly, emphasizing on the word, "It was your company, now it is mine. It is bought under AR brand so it makes it his (pointing to Aman) company as well".

Rohan pressed his lips trying to control his anger, "I will buy it back from you".

"I am sure you will, and there will be no hindrance from my side. And I think it will take you time, giving the amount (he pointed towards the file). I don't do favors in business Rohan, its not personal", said Arnav leaning forward, placing his elbows on the table.

"Neither I want them", said Rohan, "I will buy it back fair and square".

"Till then we have to plan to keep the company afloat, there are some debts that we need to cover up. Most of models and designers have already left Xottica.", said Arnav and Rohan nodded his head as he also read the papers.

"Uffo, why this Aman is not replying?", said Khushi looking down at Arush.

"Aaman uncle", said Arush back.

"Yes your Aman uncle", said Khushi as she tap her thigh with her cell phone.

She was out with Anjali and others as they all had plan another outing. Khushi was missing Arnav and thought to give him a surprise, so she had asked Anjali to drop her at AR. She had chosen this time so that they can also have lunch. Just the 3 of them like a family.

She didn't want to face others in the office that's why she had message Aman to come from private elevator to get her as she didn't have the key card.

When after a minute Aman didn't reply, Khushi give him a call which also went un-responded.

She clicked her tongue, she held Arush hand and walk to the front of AR building. She walked slowly so that Arush doesn't trip. His steps still wobbles.

She went out of the elevator on the top floor and pick Arush in her arms. It was 2.17pm, the lunch hour had already started. She was hoping for the hall to be deserted but still few employees were there. They all look at Khushi surprise and few murmurs came.

Khushi give a polite smile to them and move towards the stair, which goes up to Arnav's cabin, without stopping.

"Khushi?", she heard her name and she stopped just at the bottom of stair. She looks to side and found Vijay standing there with Ajay.

"Hi Vijay", said Khushi with a smile.

"How are you?", said Vijay as he come near, "Look at you, wow".

Khushi giggles, "What? I am the same Khushi".

"Not same, you are our boss now", said Vijay with a wink

Khushi rolls her eyes, "Not boss. Married to your boss".

"Same, same", said Vijay, "Wait, I will call Prachi".

"No", said Khushi putting her hand over Vijay's arm, "I am in hurry", she looked over to Ajay, who was now joined by Sonia and Suman. She didn't want to be the subject of their hate stares now.

"I will come some another time and then will meet Prachi ok", said Khushi.

"Ok then", said Vijay as he stepped back, "Take care".

"You too, give my hello to Prachi, tell her I will call her", said Khushi and she climb up the stairs.

"Was that Khushi?", said Suman, "She looks so different in saree and with all that sindoor and mangulsutra".

"And with all that attitude too", said Sonia, "She saw us and didn't even come to us to say Hello".

"She was in a hurry that's why", said Vijay shaking his head and went into the cafeteria.

"Seriously Sonia, when are you going to let it go", said Suman and followed Vijay. Sonia pressed her lips in annoyance and stomped inside the caf with Ajay.

"Aman can put a team here for Xottica as of now", said Arnav as he gesture Aman with his head.

"We need to think of new strategies to get back Xottica up in the market, for that we need new ideas. I think hiring fresh people, just out of college will be good", said Aman.

"You want to hire people without experience?", said Rohan in mock tone.

"Experienced people had already left Xottica", said Aman in equal mock tone.

"What we need is fresh perspective. Fresh graduates don't think of getting a high fi job, because they know they need experience and we will give them the platform for that. Xottica. Fresh people when leave school or college their mind is already bursting with ideas. They are willing to do experiment and go for different approaches. And that I think will be our starting point", said Aman expressing his view point.

Rohan was silent thinking on it, it was not a bad idea.

Before anyone of them could say anything there was a loud knock and the cabin door open.

"Khushi", Arnav was the first one to speak up.

Rohan and Aman look at Khushi as she came inside, a smile on her face, with Arush in her arms.

"What are you doing here?", asked Arnav as he stood up.

Rohan watched his face instantly softens and a small smile came up.

Does love really do that to people?, thought Rohan.

"Hi, I hope I am not interrupting anything important", said Khushi as her gaze move from Arnav to Rohan and back to Arnav.

Aman shakes his head, "We were just discussing".

"Pappaappa", Arush exclaimed seeing Arnav and gesture with his hand to go to him.

Khushi put him down, "I messaged you but you didn't reply", she said looking at Aman.

Aman pats his coat pocket, "Oh I left my cell in my cabin to charge".

"Really? You are literally glued to your cell and you left it in cabin?", Khushi shakes her head, her eyes on Arush walking on wobbly steps to Arnav who bend down and pick him up.

Aman gives Khushi a sheepish smile, "Did you have any work?"
"I didn't want to come through the office hall so I thought you could get me from parking lot using the private elevator", said Khushi.

"Why didn't you call me?", said Arnav quickly, feeling irritated that she was standing along in the parking lot with Arush.

"Because I wanted to surprise you and I thought we could have lunch with you", said Khushi, pointing towards Arush in Arnav's arm.

"Paapaa ... chipi thana ha(Want to eat chips)", said Arush in his baby voice as he tap Arnav's chest.

"See we are hungry", said Khushi with a smile.

Arnav look at Aman, who stood up, "I will arrange a keycard for Khushi (then he gestures Rohan with his head) Rohan lets go to my office" and giving a nod to Arnav and he move towards the cabin door. Rohan gives Khushi a smile and followed Aman out.

Arnav eyes move up and down on Khushi, "You look beautiful", he said appreciatively seeing her in Navy blue saree.

"And you look handsome", said Khushi as she set his tie. Arnav lean down and give a peck on her lips, making her blush.

"Arnavji", said Khushi putting her hand on his chest, "Arush".

"Ok", said Arnav rolling his eyes and then caught her hand, "Come lets go for lunch". They went out of cabin and move towards the private back elevator, which had direct access to parking lot and only used by Arnav and Aman.

"Aman will you the key card for this elevator", said Arnav as he put Arush down and take out his wallet. He slid the card in slot and press P button.

"Good then I can give you a surprise whenever I want", said Khushi.

"And I would love to be surprised by you", said Arnav as he pull her close. Khushi lovingly swat his chest.

They went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Khushi enjoyed her meal with her husband and baby. Arnav dropped Khushi home and went back to the office. He wants to arrange a team to work on Rohan's company and set up some strategies to start with so that he cannot be disturb by Rohan on his trip. He knows that Rohan will not stop budging him until he sees some work happening. And he does not want any kind of, small or big, disturbance on his time away from office, because he only want it to spend it with his Khushi.

------------------------------------

Arnav came home around 6.30 and went to living room area. He saw Khushi sitting there with others, having their evening tea. Khushi stood up seeing Arnav, a big smile on her face. She went to him and put a hand over his arm, "Coffee?", she asked.

"Yeah, bring it to room.", said Arnav touching her elbow and then move upstairs not paying attention to the teasing looks of others.

Arnav came out of washroom after freshen up and changing into maroon t-shirt and black track pants, his movements careful as Arush was asleep in his crib. Khushi came inside the room with his coffee cup and place it on the coffee table.

Arnav opens the draw and takes out the file he had put their previous night. He gives the file to Khushi and asked her to look into it. Curious, Khushi opens the file and read the contents.

Her eyes widened with shock and she looks up at Arnav asking through eyes if it's really true what she is seeing.

"You are now the official and legal guardian of Arush.", said Arnav confirming it, "And legally his mother too".

Khushi look back down at the papers where she was mentioned as the legal guardian of Arush and his trust fund was transfers over to her by previous owner, which was Anjali. There was also a new birth certificate of Arush where her name was written in the slot under Mother's name'.

Her eyes got moist seeing this, everyone in the family have already accepted her as Arush's mother but now it was legal.

"Arnavji this ...", Khushi's voice choked with emotion.

"I know we all have accepted you as Arush's mother but I don't want anyone to question the right you have on him. Now you have every legal right and you can say it freely without any hesitation", said Arnav putting hands on her shoulders, "Everywhere he will go, in very future documentation he will called your son".

"You put my name on birth certificate. What will Rajat Uncle and Rohanji say? What if they don't like it?", asked Khushi being worried.

"Tania made Di Arush's legal guardian and she transfers it over to you. Plus I already asked Rajat Uncle and he don't have any objection and I don't care what Rohan thinks. Arush is my son. I have the most rights to take decisions about him and now you do too. That's all that matters", said Arnav assuring Khushi.

She couldn't help the tears that flow down from her eyes. She never thought about doing this, all legal stuff. Being called Mama by Arush and getting his love was enough for her.

Arnav wipes her tears, "I wanted to give you this on our wedding night, my gift to you. But the attesting got delay".

Khushi look down at the papers again and found them already attested and signed by the required authorities, "It's the best gift ever. Thank you so much Arnavji", said Khushi as she hug him tight. "Thank you, thank you ... thank you", said Khushi by giving kisses all over the face.

Arnav chuckled and wound his arm tight around her, "Give it properly Khushi", he said, hovering his lips over hers.

Khushi captures his lips and started to kiss him but it has to be stopped in middle when Arush woke up. Arnav was annoyed and wanted to continue the kiss but Khushi move back.

"I will give you the proper thanks at night", she whispers and kiss his cheek. Then she move over to crib and pick Arush his arms, cooing softly to the baby. Arnav smile seeing her happy face and the way she was kissing and hugging Arush.

And Khushi did thanked Arnav properly later that night. Giving all of herself to Arnav and getting every one of his touch, kisses and love in return.

Next Day - Arshi's Reception ------------------

After breakfast Khushi stopped Rajat to the side and asked if he has any objection about the new birth certificate of Arush, mentioning her as his mother. Though Arnav had already told her he had talked to Rajat, but she wanted her own satisfaction about the matter. She would never want Rajat or Rohan to think that she doesn't consider Tania as Arush's mother or want to forget her.

"No beta, I know you will never think that way. Do you know the saying that Janam dene se ziada palne wala batra hota hai. I know how much you love Arush and I have seen it with my own eyes how much he adores you too. I won't lie that I was worried for him, seeing Arnav's aloofness towards Arush but now from the past few days I have seen Arnav warming up to Arush and it's because of you", said Rajat as he patted Khushi's head.

"Thank you uncle, you don't know how much it means to me. Believe me I will never forget that Tania gave birth to Arush and in future when Arush is sensible enough I will tell him the truth", said Khushi.

Rajat shakes his head, "Don't decide it yet, it should be yours and Arnav's combine decision about telling Arush of his birth mother". Khushi nodded her head understanding his meaning and looked around to locate Rohan, "I wanted to ask Rohanji as well if he is ok with this".

Rajat wave a hand in air, "Don't worry about him. I made him understand that it's the parents' decision what they want to do. And Tania had made Anjali Arush's legal guardian, not me or him. So when Anjali had given the right over to you then we won't question it. I trust her judgment and I trust you too", said Rajat as he patted Khushi's head again, "So stop worrying about it and enjoy your life.".

Khushi smiles as she bends down and touch Rajat's feet, "May God bless you with loads of happiness", Rajat blessed her.

"Khushiii", Anjali called out to her, "The bags are here".

Khushi smiles at Rajat and went to the living area where few workers were setting down the boxes. Nani, Mami, Shalini Masi and Minnie were also present there.

"Here look at this", said Anjali handing Khushi a cotton cloth bag.

Khushi look at the beautiful goody bag and read the tag card

Thank You
For Sharing Our Day
Mr.& Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada
3.Oct.2012

"Wow Anjali Di, its so pretty", said Khushi, her heart skip a beat reading Mr. & Mrs. Still somewhat hard to believe that now she is connected to his name.

"Hai na, I love it too. And for goodies, there will be a small perfume, a scented candle, a scented soap, a small box of mint chips and few chocolate kisses", said Anjali gesturing towards the items of the boxes set down on floor.

Khushi nodded her head, "I will show it to Arnavji", said Khushi and took a step when Anjali grab her arm, "oh no no, you are not going to Chottey. We need to fill these 400 bags as soon as we can and if you to go him now he won't let you leave soon".

"Di, its nothing like that", said Khushi averting her eyes.

"Acha? Did you forget what happen yesterday after dinner?", asked Anjali giving her a knowing look.

Khushi blush remembering, how Arnav dragged her away from Anjali's room on the pretext of finding his night clothes. Anjali waited and waited for her to get back, as she wanted to explain Khushi about her entry into the reception. But after waiting for an hour she went to sleep and sent a scolding message to both Arnav and Khushi, which she had read this morning.

"So I am not taking a chance. I want to explain to you about your entry and your dance. I will not let you and Arnav be alone even for a minute until the reception is over", said Anjali as she drag Khushi to the sofa and make her sit on it.

Khushi pouted at Anjali but she gives one box to Khushi, "Come on now start filling the box. I have asked Dhruv and Rahul to busy Arush as soon as they can, because then he will not leave you, just like his father".

Anjali too sit down beside her and started to fill the goody bags while telling her the schedule of the reception.

Just like previous time, Arnav didn't show Khushi her reception dress, but it reached her at 3pm in her hotel suite, booked for her today. The reception was held in one of the best 5 star hotel of Dehli. A presidential suite was booked for the bride and ladies to get ready and another suite was book for groom and the men.

Arnav wanted to book hotel rooms for Khushi's family but Shashi denied saying that they will stay at Khushi's Buaji's house. Khushi's chachas and chachis were not happy staying in that too small house but they didn't have any other choice as Shashi had denied talking to Arnav about arranging for their stay, just like Arnav did in Mumbai for the Wedding. It was enough for Shashi that Arnav had arrange for their travel, he didn't want Arnav to do more favors.

Arnav paced in his suite, his eyes darting again and again to his wrist watch. Akash and Dhruv were sitting nearby on the sofa and their eyes were moving like tennis ball with Arnav's pace.

Arnav murmurs and cursed, the boys just smile and chuckled enjoying his impatience.

Finally Akash stood up, "Relax bro", he stopped Arnav grabbing his shoulder, "You are making our head spin with your left, right left".

"Relax my foot. I have been ready since half an hour and still Di is not calling me out", said Arnav as he moved Akash's hand away.

"Arey ladies take time na bhai", said Dhruv and earn an angry glare from Arnav.

"Acha, look at me", said Akash, "You know na how you and Khushi will be entering the hall? Just after 5 seconds when the music starts and then ...", he was saying when Arnav cut him.

"Dammit!! I know all of this ok. After 5 seconds me and Khushi will enter in hall, she holding my hand and we will walk under the firework sticks you guys will be holding. Then in the middle of dance floor I will stop and make Khushi face me and then dance with her for 2 minutes. Then again there will be fireworks and then I will dance with Payal and you will dance with Khushi and then with other family and friends. After that we will cut the cake and go on the stage", said Arnav hurriedly in angry tone.

Akash move back from him and raise his hands up in surrender.

"I am going out", said Arnav and move towards the door.

"Arey no bhai wait", both Akash and Dhruv move after him to stop him but he opens the door and went out. He moves towards the presidential suite which was 2 doors down.

He stopped few feet away seeing Khushi coming out with Anjali and Lavanya. His eyes move up and down on Khushi wearing his designed dark gold and peach bridal maxi type dress, with silver work over it.

She wore the diamond jewelry set, her wrist filled with red and white bangles and hair was done in beautiful curls, resting on her one shoulder.

(Khushi's Dress, hairstyle and jewellery for reception)

Akash and Dhruv mock coughed from behind but Arnav just stood there mesmerized with the beauty of his wife. His trance broke only when Lavanya came in front of Khushi.

"Don't look at her like that you want to gobble her up", her tone was teasing.

Anjali giggles and Arnav avert his eyes from Khushi, who was blushing too the roots and looked down. But she couldn't help but take a peak from under her eyelashes at her husband, looking dashing in 3 piece black suite, with white shirt and golden tie.

"Di ...", Arnav was about to say when Anjali raise her hand, "Haan haan, I know you can't wait more. Lets go now", said Anjali and caught Arnav's arm and they all move towards elevators.

They reach to the ground floor, where the reception hall was. Rahul saw them coming and went inside to alert the DJ guy. Uday and Aman usher the few guests, who were standing outside the hall, to move inside. Anjali make Arnav and Khushi stand to the side of the main hall door and told them to wait for the music to start. Then she went inside with others.

Arnav looked around and was satisfied to see his security team, standing guard, to not let any outsider wander to this side. He looks down at Khushi when she touches his arm. She shyly put her hand inside on his elbow. She was standing to his right side.

Arnav lean down and nuzzles her neck, smelling her hair. Khushi's heart thudded as her hold tighten on Arnav's arm.

"I love you", whispered Arnav. Khushi looked up at him, surprised. He rarely says this to her, so it makes her surprise whenever he says it. Before she could answer they heard the music start.

"Ready?", asked Arnav and Khushi nodded her head.

They move ahead, coming in front of the hall door and then together, they entered inside. A soft musical melody was playing as they move ahead.

Anjali, Lavanya, Mamiji, Minnie, Payal, Aashima, Poonam, Divya, Naina and Prachi were standing on the left side ... while Rahul, Aman, Mamaji, Dhruv, Akash, Rohan, Uday, Anuj, NK and Vijay were standing on the right side. Everyone holding the long firework sticks, lit up, in their hands, held upward. Arnav and Khushi walk in the middle, on the red carpet leading towards the white dance floor.

(Imagine like this - https://i.imgur.com/xyH0TOw.jpg)

When they passed the fireworks line, waiters came and took the sticks from everyone. They defused them and throw it in trash can.

Arnav and Khushi stopped in middle of the dance floor and Arnav make Khushi stand in front of him as the music changed into a romantic Bollywood song. Arnav hold Khushi's hand and put another on her waist. Khushi smiled up at him as she put her hand over his shoulder. The light got dim, a yellowish glow around the hall. The spot light came on Arnav and Khushi as the lyrics started ...

(Song - Te Amo)

Kisi ko sapna lagey tu
Kisi ko behti hawaa

Arnav started to move, holding Khushi close. They both sway to the music. Eyes locked on each other.

Kisi ko bas baaton mein
Kare pal mein yahaan wahaan

Khushi matched his steps as they move in circle.

Kisi ke sau jhoot sun le
Kisi ka sacch bhi gunaah

Arnav push Khushi softly holding both her hands, he twirl her once and move close to her back, his hand wound around her stomach, holding her on top of it.

Kisi ki bas yaadon mein
Kare hulchul saara jahaaan

Arnav pull his hand back, making Khushi facing him with a twirl.

Te amo me te amo
Tu chhaanv hai, tu dhoop hai

Arnav move in circle, twirling Khushi along.

Te amo me te amo
Tere hazaron roop hai

Arnav move behind her, holding her hand, extend outward. He put his face in crook of her neck.

Koi samjha nahin
Jo bhi hai bas khoob hai

His other hand moves over her stomach and then with quick move he turns her towards him.

Falling so crazy in love
Te amo me te amo

Arnav touch his forehead with hers, their eyes closed. The surrounding, the people, forgotten around them as they got lost in each other.

Tu chhaanv hai, tu dhoop hai
Te amo me te amo
Tere hazaaron roop hai

Arnav pull her into him, his hand around Khushi in an embrace while hers wound around his neck.

Falling so crazy, falling so crazy in love.
Falling so crazy, falling so crazy in love.
Falling so crazy, falling so crazy in love.

The lyrics were apt for them; they were crazy in love with each other.

Hooo..

Arnav move her back.

I've been around the world
He holds both of her hand in his.

There's no one like you, Girl
He twirls her once and then touch her back with his front.

I feel it all the time
Just have to make you mine

He bends down a little and picked Khushi up. Khushi's one hand was on top of Arnav, over her stomach and other cupped his cheek as she touched her face to his.

I'm lovin everyday, lovin U in every way
That's why I'd like to say...

Arnav move around in circle holding her like that.

Te amo me te amo
Taare ginu tere liye
Te amo me te amo
Saare chunu tere liye

He slowly put her down, sliding her body with his and then in quick move turns her to him.

Khwaab saare bunu tere hi tere liye
Falling so crazy in looove
Te amo me te amo
Taare ginu tere liye

They move together, swaying with the music as the volume lessens.

Te amo me te amo
Saare chunu tere liye

Heeyyy yeee ...

Arnav dipped Khushi over his arm as the music stops and fireworks explode around them.

(Imagine the scene like this -- https://i.imgur.com/1tRsSNm.jpg)

The audience applauds around them.

Arnav slowly move up and bring Khushi close to him, he hold her close till the fireworks finished.

"Ladies and Gentlemen", Lavanya's voice heard through the speaker, "Presenting to you Mr. & Mrs. Arnav Sing Raizada", she shouted as they lights came on and everyone clapped again.

Khushi smiles looking around, her one hand wound around Arnav's back and his hand was around hers.

"Ok guys now its time for Groom's brother and bride's sister", said Lavanya as the waiters quickly remove the fireworks cans.

Another romantic song started as Akash and Payal came on the dance. Akash held out his hand to Khushi who accepted with a smile and gasp as Akash tug her close giving a teasing smile to Arnav.

Payal stood next to Arnav, feeling nervous as they became the focus of others' attention.

She fidgeted with her evening gown and look at Arnav anxiously. Arnav held his hand out to Payal who accepted.

"Relax, just forget everybody around", said Arnav softly trying to calm Payal.

Payal take a deep breath and exhale. She look up at Arnav and tried to smile, feeling still somewhat intimated by him.

"Stupid baboon", said Arnav as he move slowly holding Payal within a respectable distance.

"What?", asked Payal.

"That Akash", said Arnav with a jerk of his head toward Khushi and Akash, who were giggling and dancing. Akash was holding Khushi close, making Arnav irritated.

"Dancing like a baboon", said Arnav making Payal giggle.

"Now the groom's sister", Lavanya's voice came through speaker.

Anjali and Rahul came on stage and partners were change with the music.

Arnav was dancing with Anjali, Rahul with Khushi and Akash with Payal.

Payal's heart thudded feeling this much close to Akash, which was their second time. She could smell his musky perfume and his hands feels extra warm, one around her waist and other holding hers. She averted her eyes feeling his stare on her. Akash couldn't help but be mesmerized by her. He was astonish when he saw Payal tonight, standing beside Aashima holding the firework stick. He was seeing her in an evening gown for the first time, which shows her beautiful curves. He realized it was her first time too as she kept on fidgeting with the gown.

"Ok my turn now", said Lavanya and put down the mike and come to the dance floor as the song changed.

Payal moved away from the dance floor, her heart beating fast. She needs to be away from Akash as of now, confuse with the strange feeling rising inside her.

Arnav was dancing with Lavanya now and Khushi was dancing with Aman. Anjali and Rahul danced together. Akash wanted to go behind Payal but just then Sara, Payal's cousin came there and Akash had to be polite to dance with her.
After a minute song changed again. NK and Naina came on the stage. NK hold Khushi close and picks her up, moving around in a circle, making her laugh.

Payal move back slowly, as she watched NK and Khushi. Her eyes move towards Arnav and she giggles seeing his angry expression and eyes fixed on NK. Looks like someone is going to get beat up tonight, thought Payal smilingly. She move two tables back and pull the chair on the third table.

"Payal", someone called her name.

She stopped, her body tensed. The voice was familiar, even after 2 years she can recognize his voice. She turns slowly and saw him standing just few feet away from her.

"Sidharth", Payal whispered her ex-fianc's name.
