Chapter 17
Ask her, Like A Man!
One whole week passed and Arnav felt too much attached to his fiancee in every way. He loved her and the thought of her carrying his child made him more happier than he ever felt in his life. And his di, she was happier than him. He looked at her busy form, running here and there along with the decorators. It was finally the day of Arnav and Khushi's engagement and Arnav was having his breakfast, his thoughts only on his fiancee.
He had reluctantly left her house when his father in law got back from his trip. Those 7 days were the best days of his life so far. He never ever had enjoyed his time with anyone else like he enjoyed with his Khushi. She was everything he had ever yearned in a girl. And now she was his, in every damned way. A grin formed on his lips as soon as her face flashed in front of his eyes.
"Someone's lost in the poha Anjali made.."
Bhagwan ji said throwing his dumbbells under the bed while Devi Maiyya came rushing to the hall her hands and face smeared with dough. Bhagwan ji made an "awe" face and looked at her.
"Where is poha?"
She asked looking around and Bhagwan ji rolled his eyes.
"Arnav's having poha for breakfast..there is no poha in heaven.."
He said wiping the sweat off his forehead and Devi Maiyya's face fell instantly.
"Why cant Anjali make poha as prashad?"
She said and stomped inside the kitchen to make aloo, poori's for breakfast.
Anjali's ears shot up at the words and she grinned.
"Devi Maiyya, now wait and watch"
"You are doomed I tell you. You are going to regret this poha decision of yours.."
Bhagwan ji added, dismissing himself inside the bathroom for a loongish shower.

"Its a ruby...thought you might love it because its a shade of dark pink.."
Sasi said handing over the small box to Manorama. She took the same her eyes tearing up and threw herself into Sasi's waiting arms.
Arnav hugged Khushi sideways while Khushi sniffled, holding him closer.
"Where is my ring?"
Khushi asked looking up at him and he smiled in return. His hands came caressing her long hair and then pulled something out of the same. Her eyes widened as she looked at his extended hand and the small golden colored box.
"Open it.."
She almost snatched the same out of his hand and opened it. She felt a lone tear escape her eye as she looked at the ring and the smile on his face.
"Gosh...this is too much filmy...edit this part.."
Bhagwan ji requested politely while Friedrice ji frowned at him.
"I was just doing that...but pardon me...I always get this filmy at times.."
Friedrice ji apologized and Bhagwanji flashed a smile at her.
"So, are we good now?"
"Yes, I am rewriting this part.."
Arnav held her both hands in his and kneeled down in front of her. She looked down at him, her eyes full of love and long for him.
His fingers brushed against her ankle and fixed the hook of the anklet. Khushi smiled as he got on his fours and inspected it once again.
"Shall we go now..?"
He asked extending her hands and she placed her both hands in his..

"Barbecue Pizza, One diet coke, a tiramisu cake and a plate full of jalebi's please. And one more thing, one cheese burger and fries too.."
Arnav's eyes widened as she ordered her food and none for him.
"That cheese burger and fries are for me, right?"
He asked scratching his forehead while Khushi frowned at him.
"Nope...you should order what you want..Gosh..I am so hungry right now.."
She looked at the ketchup bottle in the middle of the table and took it in her hands.
Arnav nodded a silent no at her but she ignored him and squeezed little ketchup into her mouth..
"Mmm...this is so goood.."
Arnav face palmed while Devi Maiyya and Bhagwan ji clapped their hands, encouraging Khushi.
"Weirdos"
Arnav mouthed looking upwards and then frowned looking at the empty chair in front of him.
"Khushi? Where are you?"
He asked looking around but there was no sign of her.
He left his chair and walked around the table only to find Khushi sitting on the floor, her one hand clamped over her mouth.
"Whats wrong?"
She nodded her head in negative as sweat beads formed on her forehead.
"Mmmppnn..hh...mm.."
Arnav could not make out her words and then lifted her off the ground.
Before he could steady her she hovered over him and emptied her mouth onto his brand new jacket.
"I am so sorry..Arnav.."
"Its okay..Khushi...ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi.."
"NO. Its completely my fault..I should have listened to you..and this ketchup.."
She said cleaning his jacket with a napkin and Arnav stopped her hands.
"Its okay Khushi, let us go to the washroom and clean up..."
He suggested and both walked towards the washroom, while Khushi's eyes welled up with tears. It was their last date before the engagement and she had ruined it completely.
"Is not this the 4th time you are vomiting...today?"
"Yes"
Khushi managed while splashing some water onto her face. Arnav came behind her and removed her hair from her face from getting wet. She smiled at him in gratitude and washed her mouth.
"Should we consult your doctor about this? Besides you are not eating much these days.."
He said thoughtfully and Khushi threw herself into his arms.
"I am alright Arnav...and there is no need to go to the doctor until the date of my next appointment..you know you worry too much.."
"You look pale baby.."
He complained his thumbs caressing her wet cheeks.
"Its the pregnancy hormones..nothing else..It will be over by next month.."
"Sacchi?"
"Mucchi"
His face grew serious and Khushi noticed the change in his body language. He was nervous, but for what she could not guess. She looked at him remove a small box from his pant pocket and opened it in front of her.
"How do you like it?"
He asked and Khushi's eyes widened looking at the beautiful ring inside it.
"An emerald ring?"
She gasped touching the same.
"This is beautiful Arnav..I love it.."
She exclaimed clutching onto his forearms.
And then her eyes found the letters on the platinum band.
"AK"
"Awww..Arnav..I love you so much...but the ring I selected for you does not have this letters imprinted on it.."
She said sadly and Arnav lifted her chin with his forefinger.
"Dont worry...we will send it to the same jeweller to make the changes.."

The world almost stood still and the loud noises faded away. His eyes caught hers across the hall. She was descending downstairs, wearing a red flimsy blouse and a green lehenga. Her hair was combed back and left open much to his delight. Her fragrance hit him hard evoking new sensations as soon as she stood next to him. Looking more beautiful than ever. He sighed.
Khushi looked at his perfection. He always looked perfect but today he looked more than perfect. His hair gelled back and set perfectly. He was wearing this button down shirt underneath his midnight black blazer. And how can she miss that gorgeous smile. She felt like the girl from the protest ground, when ASR's charms had first hit her like a hurricane.
"Dont look at me like that..I might turn into ashes..right here.."
She cooed rubbhing her arms against his and he stiffened.
'Tempting me in front of everyone..no good..Gupta.."
He challenged.
"Ohh poor you..effected are we?"
She asked running a hand along his taut back and he groaned inwardly.
Everyone came towards the stage and the ceremony has been already started.
Sasi and Manorama stood in the middle of the stage, looking into each other's eyes. Anjali had so much responsibilities since Khushi and Sasi had no one in their family. Her duties had doubled, not that she was not enjoying it. She loved Khushi's small family and now they will be complete once Manorama marries Sasi.
They exchanged rings, promising each other for never leaving each other's sides no matter what. It was now Arnav and Khushi's turn. They were too lost in their own small world that they did not hear everyone calling out their names, asking to exchange the rings.
Anjali almost shook Arnav's shoulder to get him back to earth.
"Rub Away interruptors.."
Bhagwan ji muttered under his breath while Devi Maiyya giggled.
"I am glad that we live all alone in our heavenly house. Can you imagine having an Anjali roaming around our house interrupting our Rub Away's?"
He said horrified and Devi Maiyya slapped his hands playfully.
"Oh..I cant even imagine that.."
She said looking at Anjali's beaming form.
"We are exchanging rings..nothing else.."
Khushi said through gritted teeth when Arnav's hands roamed around her almost bare back. He was trying hard to restrain himself from the time she had reached the stage, wearing that sexy red sari and the namesake blouse.
"Maybe after exchanging the rings..we should exchange something else as well.."
Khushi blushed to the roots when Jyothi's eyes teared apart heaing their blasted conversation.
"Please dont faint.."
Khushi said shaking her head and Jyothi closed her wide open mouth.
"She wont, she has got me..to steady her..."
Aman said slipping his hands onto her waist and pulled her hard towards him.
Jyothi's mother's jaw dropped to the floor as she looked at her daughter standing with a man, whose hands were all over her form. She elbowed her husband and he too looked stunned at the vision.
"Its our daughter, right?"
They both exclaimed and then looked at each other.
"Who is that man?"
"I dont know.."
"Lets find out.."
***
"Jyo, who is this man? And why are you in his arms..?"
Her mother asked the obvious question that came into her mind.
"This is Aman and we are in love Mumma.."
Jyothi exclaimed and hugged Aman sideways.
"Kya karte hain ye Aman?"
Jyothi's father asked, his eyes inspecting him from tip to toe.
"He is the commissioner of Police..anything else you want to know..?"
Jyothi grinned looking at her father's pale face.
"NO. I am good...Hey nice to meet you Aman..how is it going..?"
Jyothi's mother came to her sides and whispered something in her ears.
Aman raised his eyebrow at her and she giggled.
"She wants to know, if you want to name this thing between us.."
Aman rolled his eyes.
"Arre she meant, if you want to give your pyaar a naam?"
Bhagwan ji added.
"You mean she wants to ask me "Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?"
"Now you are talking.."
Devi Maiyya grinned giving him a thumbs up expression.
