Chapter 9

"Khushi?" Arnav said again, trying to catch her attention. She shot him a look & twisted her lips.

Arnav sighed. "Is this some sort of girl attention issue?" he asked. "Cause I can literally write poems on how beautiful you look in that saree. I just have something VERY important to tell you first."

How did he know? Khushi's heart jumped & her stomach did a flip. So he had noticed her sari. Khushi blushed & turned around before Arnav could catch it.

She knew Arnav had a good way with words and probably didn't mean what he said, but still she couldn't help but smile.

"If you're done blushing & smiling, will you listen to me?"

Khushi gasped. How'd he know?!

She turned back around & rolled her eyes at him. "I wasn't blushing or smiling." She lied. "Stop giving yourself so much importance!"

"No point in lying to me. I know you too well." He grinned.

She rolled her eyes and made her way to the mirror. "Why'd you come here? Go look for girls to flirt with."

"I will once I tell you what I have to. Now will you please listen?!"

He isn't even denying the fact that he's going to flirt with other girls! She complained mentally & shifted her long hair on one shoulder.

Arnav was about to begin when his eyes fell on her back – her blouse strings had been left untied.

Khushi consciously threw her hair back in place. "Arnav! What are you looking at?!"

"Huh? Oh!" he walked over behind her & pushed her hair out of the way. "Your blouse is untied."

Khushi's eyes closed as soon as she felt his warm hands.

Arnav pulled the strings too tights causing her to jerk. "Whoops! Is that too tight?"

"Mmm" was all Khushi could muster out of her mouth.

After Arnav finished tying the strings, he felt a strange urge to smooth his hand across her back.

He looked at her reflection in the mirror & noticed her eyes were closed. He did as he felt & slightly brushed his hand across the open part of her back. His hands made their way down to her waist. He slid his hands under her sari & over her belly, pulling her closer and leaving no gap for air to escape.

He pushed any remaining strands out of the way and brushed his nose against the bare side of her neck.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Khushi?" Mihir's voice echoed from outside the door. "Hurry up! You still need to help Payal get ready!"

Arnav's eyes shot open. He let go of her at once and backed away.

Khushi too opened her eyes & tried to read Arnav's expressions from his reflection in the mirror. He looked shocked.

"Arnav?" Khushi whispered.

"I'm….that was…sorry." he said & left the room.

"Khushi? What was Arnu doing in here??" Mihir asked once Arnav left.

Khushi knew if she spoke, she might end up crying so she kept quiet.

"Khushi? Are you okay? You look pale." he asked, feeling her head & cheeks to see if she had temperature.

Khushi frowned & hugged Mihir.

Arnav couldn't believe what he had done. A million thoughts and questions ran across his mind. Did he have no self control at all?! He knew Khushi didn't like that kind of stuff yet he still did it….but why didn't she say anything? For friendship's sake? Why did he even go there in the first place?!

Then he remembered. He still hadn't told her about her Kaka!

Arnav hit his palm on his head & retreated back to her room.

"Khushi! I forg-" his sentence was cut short when he saw Khushi & Mihir in the room hugging…

He felt as if someone had punched him in the stomach…hard.

"What's wrong Khush?!" Mihir asked.

"Nothing Emmy." she answered.
"Don't gimme that! Why're you upset?"

"It's just….I..I can't believe Payal's getting married already. That's all." Khushi lied.

"Oh. Aww, getting all emotional for your cousin sister?" he smiled.

Khushi nodded weakly.

"Save that for the bid-bye darls!"

"Bid bye? What in the world is that?"

Mihir sighed. "You're so americanized Khushi! A bid-bye is where the Indian bride leaves the wedding house & everyone cries. Don't you know anything?"

Khushi cracked up. "That's called a bidaai not a bid-bye silly!" she laughed.

"….well that's embarrassing." Mihir shied. "But hey, at least I made you laugh."

Khushi gave out another laugh & hugged him.

"You're the best Emmy! Alright, I'm gonna go help Payal Di get ready now. & I'll tell her about bid-bye! Hahah"

"Oh lordd." He shook his head. "Oh and by the way! You look gorgeous in that blue!" he winked.

As Arnav watched their conversation, the green-eyed-monster that he was still not aware of grew in him.

Arnav loved seeing Khushi happy…but HE wanted to be the reason of her smile, not some other guy & definitely NOT Mihir!

"Yeah? You don't look bad yourself in that sherwani Emmy!" she grinned.

On her way out, she bumped into Arnav.

"You okay?" Arnav asked instinctively.

Khushi stared at his gorgeous light brown eyes stupidly. Her voice had left her when she needed it the most!

"Khushi?" he asked about 10 seconds later.

Still, her eyes wouldn't move away from his & her mouth wouldn't open.

He finally snapped at her forcing her to blink. "Khushi??"

"Huh? Yeah sorry." She apologized. "Oh my god it's back!"

"….what's back?"

"My voi-….uhh...Arnav didn't you have something important to tell me?"

"Yeah I did! Okay before I forget, come here!" he took Khushi by the hand & pulled her in a corner.

Khushi felt a wave of disappointment when he let go of her.

"Okay so Mr. Gupta or Sharma or whatever, is your Kaka. Your dad's brother!"

"WHAT?! How are you so sure?"

"I overheard his conversation with your mama when I was trying to hide from Mihir."

"But then why are they lying about his name? Why can't they just tell me he's my kaka?"

"No clue."

Khushi thought hard about her supposed Kaka. She remembered the watch in the dream. So now it's clear, the watch probably was the same one as her father's. But then how did the watch get to her Kaka? She didn't know much about her father's family but she knew they hadn't talked ever since her parents' wedding. And Khushi had seen the watch in her childhood, so there's no possible way her uncle could've gotten it! Her dad hated his brothers A LOT so it's not like the watch was given to his brother in his will or something.

"I don't get it." She frowned cutely. Arnav couldn't help but smile.

"Khushiii?"

"Hm?"

"Don't stress yourself. We'll figure it out later. Go help Payal Di."

Later that night…

(guys everything belowt is all by Annie – AnnieKittWatt. All credit goes to her :] )

As soon as the three ladies, Anjali, Khushi and Bride-to-be, Payal step down the staircase, all the three guys turn in to see them at the same time.

Rab Raakha..Rab Raakha..Rab Raakha...

Arnav, in his Navy blue sherwani,stood staring at Khushi, as he saw her in the beautiful Blue choli. Akash,dressed ina cream coloured sherwani, andwho was already mesmerised by Payal's beauty, got another treat for his eyes, when he saw his love walking down in a heavy yet elegant copper coloured choli. Rahul as usual, just saw Anjali in her lucknowi sky blue choli and turned around to see the other two standing there with their mouth gaping.

Yeh khushi, yeh khushi ka samaa...

Rahul steps in between the two guys and closes their gaping mouth, while saying, 'Muh toh band karo, Uncles!!'

Dill main gunje hain shehnaiyaan...

Realising what they were doing, the two immediately come back to their senses. While Akash feels embarrased and starts stealing glimpses of Payal, to not make it obvious, Arnav looks on as if he is in a Dream world..
Yeh khushi, yeh khushi ka samaa...

Dill main gunje hain shehnaiyaan...

Payal smiles coyly as she realises a pair of eyes staring at her. While Anjali gives a smirk on seeing Rahul, and looks away.

Yeh hassi...yeh dill nashee...

Feeling an intense gaze on her, Khushi turned to look for the pair, and does find them, but is herself caught in it.

Ik mohabbat ke hain jo dastaan...

Unable to break it, or not wanting to break it, she suddenly, misses a step.

Arnav, on sensing the danger, immediately, steps forward to catch her by her waist, just in time.

Rab Raakha (6 times)

Her arms wound up his neck instantly as if finding refuge, and her eyes not even once budging from the lock that hey have made.

Celebrate the feeling, for a day and evening,

Beautiful hearts are beating, love is in the air...

Theycontinued to belike that, not wanting to let go of each other,asthey feared that they would fall or lose this moment, for they wanted to treausre this moment, they wanted to trap that feeling, that beauty, that innoncence, that vulnerability that they saw in each other's eyes. But suddenly, they are shook back to reality when Anjali places a hand on his shoulder,gesturing him to comeand join them.
Celebrate the feeling, for a day and evening,

Beautiful hearts are beating, love is in the air...

Embarassed and colour flushing their faces, they looked away, and joined the other in dancing.

Koi poochhe aankhon ne aankhon se kya keh diya, kya sunn liya..
Keh de na chhup ke se, dono ne hai chunn liya, ik saathiya

Akash was intently gazing at Payal, when Payal asked him by raising her eyebrows as to say, What happened?' Akash nodded his head meaning nothing, and suddenly mouthed the lyrics -
'Keh de na chhup ke se, dono ne hai chunn liya, ik saathiya'...continuing to look at Payal, who eventually lowers her eyelids, smiling coyly, understanding what he meant.

Yeh reshmi se pal, yeh narm si hulchul,

Yeh sapnon, ki marm, Rab Raakha...

The girls were sitting along with their friends, applying mehendi...Khushi whispered something to Payal, making her smile, while she herself, giggled. Approaching the ladies, with a camera, Arnav notices all of them having a pleasant time and starts taking photos in his precious gadget. He notices Khushi's giggle turning into a hearty laugh. he stops there itself and starts focussing his camera on her, capturing that beautiful smile and the cute laughing face in millions of photos.

Yeh haseen...Yeh dil nasheen,

Ik mohabbat ki hain jo dastaan...

Noticing something flashing sideways, Khushi turns to face him. She instantly tries to hide her face with her palms. Arnav twitches his lips seeing her not so visible face. Khushi, just to check brings her hands down. Arnav, immediately clicks a photo, but suddenly, he bursts out laughing, with his hand pointing to Khushi's face. Khushi realises that she has mehendi on her nose, as she accidentally touched her mehendi covered hands with her nose.

Rab Raakha... (6 times)

Khushi stretches out her hand to get hold of the camera. But Arnav is too fast for her, and gets up in nisk of time and starts to sprint away. Khushi not losing hope, gets up and starts off behind Arnav, running behind him all over the place. Arnav, looks behind to see Khushi half-struggling and half-grumbling about her choli, but stilll not giving up. Suddenly, Khushi comes to a stop, when...

Maahi shaguna manaaiya haaye..

Mami sings for Payal, as she comes to sit next to her. Holding her chin lovingly, expressing her emotions, both happiness and sadness, for her only beloved daughter.
Happiness her only daughter is getting married and sadness as her apple of the eye, won't be there to be with her, to laugh, to cry, to speak, to share...

Bajde sang dhol shehnaaiyaan...

Looking at the mother-daughter duo, Khushi couldn't help but remember her own family, which brings tears to her eyes. This isn't missed by Arnav, as he came and stood just next to her.

Mami signals Aakash to come to her.

Mainu mill gaya..mera...Raanjheya...

Mami takes Aakash's hand and places Payal's hand in his, as if she has already given the responsibility of her daughter to him for life, and with unspoken words, Aakash promises Payal that he will love her not only in this life but for all the future lives to come.

Tera ba...khair manaaiyan...(manaaiyan)

Payal's mother kisses her daughter's forehead, lovingly. Reminiscing the moment slowly wipes her tears off her cheeks.

------End of Annie's writing---------

(How'd you guys like it? Let us know in the comments!)

Arnav wipes off Khushi's tears with his thumb.

"Don't waste them. Your tears are as precious as your smile."

Khushi's heart misses a beat. This is why she fell for him…how could anyone NOT fall for him?!

Khushi sniffed her nose & nodded meekly.

"Will You Smile?" he asked gently.

Khushi pretended to think for a second before letting out a small smile.

"You look way prettier when you smile…just saying. Oh & Khushi?"

"Yeah?"

"You still have mehndi on your nose…." He smirked before running off again.

"Ohmygod! You just wait, I'm sooo getting back at you for this!" Khushi yelled, running after him.
